Chapter 2: The Class Card, Changing Jobs to Beastmaster!

Page 1/3

Su Bai was astonished—there really were people who weren’t afraid of death. She watched the video on her phone intently.

The streamer’s name was Han Qi, a popular outdoor adventure broadcaster. At this moment, he was fully equipped and daringly live-streaming as he entered the “Phantom Netherworld,” a game-like data zone.

Han Qi chuckled, “Heh heh, let’s explore this game area together. Maybe if I kill monsters and gain experience, I can level up. The world has changed, and I’m here to show you just how powerful the monsters in this so-called disaster game really are.”

Wrapped in a blanket and snacking, Su Bai watched the stream.

Soon enough, Han Qi encountered a monster within the Phantom Netherworld.

It was a grotesque-looking zombie that roared and charged at him.

Han Qi said, “We’ve all seen zombie movies. Zombies vary in strength, but this one isn’t very fast. As long as I keep moving, I can dodge its attacks. If I’m right, the zombie’s weak point should be its head.”

With that, Han Qi wielded a stick and struck the zombie’s head repeatedly, quickly knocking it down.

Excited, Han Qi exclaimed, “Family, I actually gained experience! After killing one zombie, I just heard the system prompt in my mind: Experience +1! If I keep going like this and kill 100 zombies, I can level up!”

Because of this, Han Qi’s stream quickly went viral.

However, while Han Qi was busy fighting the zombie, he failed to notice dozens of rotting hands emerging from the ground beneath his feet.

Seeing this, Su Bai’s heart skipped a beat. “This isn’t good—this streamer is unknowingly being surrounded!”

She hesitated to watch further.

As she feared, Han Qi was eventually cornered by dozens of zombies that suddenly appeared, his fists no match for the many hands.

In the end, he was dragged down and devoured by the zombies.

“Ah!”

Su Bai tossed aside her phone, too scared to continue watching.

Pearl, noticing Su Bai’s panic, immediately flew over to comfort her.

Su Bai’s body trembled, unsure of what to do.

“What if Linghai City also becomes dataized by the disaster system? What should I do then?”

She truly couldn’t face such terrifying monsters.

Seeing Su Bai’s fear, Pearl flew in front of her and puffed out her chest, as if to say, “Don’t be afraid, Master. I will protect you!”

Su Bai smiled at Pearl. “You’re so small—how can you protect me?”

“Chirp chirp,” Pearl called twice.

Suddenly, she flew to the windowsill and picked up a card from her little nest.

Curious, Su Bai prepared to take it.

“Pearl, where did this card come from?”

Just as she held the card, a system voice echoed in her ear.

[ Ding! Congratulations, player. You have obtained a Profession Card—Beast Tamer! Would you like to transfer professions immediately? ]

Su Bai was shocked.

“Profession card? Transfer profession?”

“Pearl, where did you get this card?”

Su Bai was truly at a loss. A card that allowed one to transfer professions had to be incredibly rare.

Since the disaster system appeared, Su Bai had never heard of anyone managing to switch professions. If she could transfer, maybe she could gain some ability to protect herself?

Pearl looked proud, pointing at her nest as if to say the card had somehow drifted down from the sky into her home.

Su Bai: !!

After calming down, Su Bai examined the card. “How do I use this?”

As if sensing her thoughts, the system voice rang out again.

[ Ding! Player Su Bai has obtained the Beast Tamer profession card. Would you like to transfer professions now? ]

The system prompt flashed through her mind once more.

This time, Su Bai didn’t hesitate.

“Yes!”

The moment she said it, the card in her hand vanished into her body.

A wave of energy enveloped Su Bai, elevating and transforming her.

Pearl noticed her owner change and chirped anxiously, as if worried for her safety.

A gleam flashed in Su Bai’s eyes before fading swiftly.

Profession transfer complete!

Su Bai had successfully become a Beast Tamer!

“Have I really transferred to the Beast Tamer profession?”

She could clearly feel a new power coursing through her body.

Opening the system to check her current status:

[ Player: Su Bai ]

[ Level: 0 ]

[ Talent: Reception—Enables absorption of abilities from one’s own pets (awakened autonomously upon obtaining a profession! One-time reminder!) ]

[ Profession: Beast Tamer ]

Skills:

[ Tame and Capture ]: Can capture pet monsters for the Beast Tamer.

[ Beast Master’s Space ]: A habitat for tamed beasts, where ordinary pets have a chance to mutate into monsters.

[ Energy Strike ]: Condense a ball of energy to strike enemies.

[ Beast Spirit Summon ]: Summon beast spirits to assist in battle (beast spirits appear randomly and can be resummoned upon death).

Su Bai stared at her data panel in amazement.

“By obtaining the Beast Tamer profession, I not only gained a talent but also four profession skills?”

Su Bai was overjoyed. Having a profession and skills meant she had combat capabilities. With the dataized monsters appearing around her, at least she could defend herself.

Excited, she looked at Pearl.

“Good job, Pearl! You’re amazing—you actually gave me a profession. That counts as protecting me!”

Pearl wore an expression that clearly said, “I’m so awesome!”

Su Bai couldn’t wait to try out her new skills.

“Can I tame Pearl? That way, she can stay in the Beast Master’s Space, and I won’t have to worry about her safety whenever danger comes.”

She also remembered that ordinary pets in the Beast Master’s Space had a chance to mutate.

“Maybe Pearl will become a skilled beast after mutating?”

Su Bai approached Pearl.

“Pearl, I’m going to use my skill to bring you into a new space. Don’t resist.”

Pearl nodded wisely.

Su Bai activated the Beast Tamer skill.

She used [ Tame and Capture ] on Pearl.

Suddenly, a glowing ring appeared around Pearl. Since Pearl didn’t resist, the ring quickly enveloped her and then merged into her body.

A system prompt sounded in Su Bai’s mind.

[ Ding! Congratulations, player Su Bai! You have successfully tamed a beast! ]

Pearl’s profile appeared before Su Bai.

[ Beast: Pearl Bird ] (Pearl)

Level: 0

Talent: None

Skills: None

Taming successful.

Su Bai felt a stronger spiritual connection with Pearl now.

“Pearl?”

Pearl chirped joyfully, as if responding to Su Bai.

With a thought, Pearl vanished from sight, entering the so-called [ Beast Master’s Space ].

Su Bai could sense Pearl resting comfortably there.

“This Beast Master’s Space seems perfect for pets to rest. From now on, I won’t have to worry about Pearl being alone at home!”

Having tested two of her Beast Tamer skills, Su Bai prepared to try the remaining two.

“The other two skills are Energy Strike and Beast Spirit Summon.”

From their names, the first was clearly offensive, and the latter was also meant for combat.

However, Su Bai dared not use any attack skills at home. If there was too much noise, she might expose her uniqueness.

“I haven’t heard of anyone else transferring professions yet. It’s better to keep a low profile for now.”
