Chapter 2 - 2: 2 Destiny Guidebook_1
Shrouded in a thick fog, the dry well appeared quite mysterious.
Yet that didn’t change the fact that this well was in the front yard of his childhood home.
On the edge of this well, Fang Mu’s childhood tic-tac-toe drawings were carved.
In his past life, every winter and summer vacation, Fang Mu would visit his old house.
His grandfather would play tic-tac-toe with him next to the well.
It was only after Fang Mu went to college, that his character evolved to be calm and steady.
When he was a child, he didn’t understand much and often threw stones into the well, even peeing into it.
When his father found out, despite Fang Mu being the “child of others”, he didn’t escape a sound beating in the name of fatherly love.
Fang Mu didn’t understand why the image of this dry well would suddenly appear in his mind.
But the vision was so vivid.
Living for sixteen years in this life, Fang Mu’s impressions of many things from his previous life have faded significantly.
What he could remember, were things Fang Mu wanted to cherish in his heart.
This dry well was not among them.
Fang Mu has been wondering, why did he transmigrate under such normal circumstances.
In the few days before the transmigration, he was preparing the materials needed for a lecture in the old house as usual.
He was preparing to publish a thesis on the evolution of life.
If anything special happened before the transmigration.
It was when Fang Mu and his nephew were kicking a ball in the yard.
In order to protect his fallen nephew, Fang Mu’s back of the head hit the wall of this dry well.
Fang Mu, who cracked his back of the head, had blood splattered on one side of the well wall, which looked quite frightening.
However, it was only a skin wound on Fang Mu’s back of the head. His scalp was cut by the well wall about four centimeters, without showing any signs of concussion.
Could it be that this dry well was responsible for his transmigration?
Just as Fang Mu was pondering, he felt as if some power had been infused into his thoughts.
Immediately afterward, Fang Mu unconsciously opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, Fang Mu saw the figures of Hu Tao and the school doctor, Teacher Wei.
Seeing Fang Mu awake, Hu Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Touching Fang Mu’s forehead, she asked,
“Fang Mu, we have physical examinations every term, and we didn’t detect that you have hypoglycemia!”
“Teacher Wei said you didn’t suffer from heatstroke either.”
“Why did you faint all of a sudden?”
Just as Hu Tao finished her words, she saw Fang Mu blankly staring at the ceiling.
This dumbfounded expression appearing on Fang Mu’s face was somewhat discordant.
Hu Tao quickly turned her gaze to Wei Xinyu, asking anxiously.
“Teacher Wei, is Fang Mu really alright?”
Wei Xinyu, wearing a school doctor’s uniform, tidied up the strands of hair on her neck.
Then she stretched out her hand and patted the potted plant beside her, which was blossoming with white bell-shaped flowers, saying,
“My Twinkling Bell Orchid has already confirmed that Fang Mu’s body doesn’t have any problems.”
As she spoke, Wei Xinyu was also somewhat curious.
Fang Mu indeed had fainted, and his spiritual power had fallen into a sluggish state.
But his bodily functions were completely normal.
If it wasn’t for the confirmation of Fang Mu’s state of spiritual power, Wei Xinyu would have assumed that Fang Mu was a bad student pretending to be sick to skip classes.
Fang Mu’s left fist, covered under the quilt, clenched tightly.
He discovered that within his mental power, there appeared a thing he had been dreaming so long for.
This thing was the Destiny Guidebook!
If one really counts, Fang Mu had already been receiving the low-frequency mental stimulation issued by the General Instructor at the edge of the playground for four consecutive years.
Among all the existing reports in the Dragon Rising Federation, awakening the Destiny Guidebook at sixteen was certainly a peculiar occurrence.
Fang Mu didn’t want to become a guinea pig for academia.
Therefore, Fang Mu decided to temporarily refrain from summoning the Destiny Guidebook before communicating with his family.
If it was anyone else who hadn’t awakened their Destiny Guidebook before but suddenly awakened it at sixteen,
They would definitely not be able to resist summoning it immediately, then opening the title page of the Destiny Guidebook to see if they were lucky enough to acquire a Destiny Guardian Beast.
About thirty out of one hundred ordinary people can awaken the Destiny Guidebook.
Out of a hundred thousand people who have awakened their Destiny Guidebook, there may not be one who possesses a Destiny Guardian Beast.
Jinghai High School for Beast Masters, as the key high school in Jinghai Province.
In Fang Mu’s grade, there were only a dozen or so outstanding students who owned Destiny Guardian Beasts.
Hu Tao was one of them.
Fang Mu had two sisters and one brother.
His eldest sister, second brother, and third sister had all obtained their Destiny Guardian Beasts after awakening their Destiny Guidebooks.
This made Fang Mu’s family a legend throughout Jing’an City.
Once a family had a child who awakened their Destiny Guidebook and obtained a Destiny Guardian Beast.
The family would receive a certain allowance every year.
Otherwise, with Fang Mu’s family circumstances, they would absolutely not have four children.
Since Fang Mu transmigrated in the womb, he didn’t suffer from the emotional disconnect common amongst transmigrators and their relatives.
From a young age, Fang Mu was treated like a jewel by his sisters and brother.
However, having lived two lives, Fang Mu felt an inexplicable paternal affection for his siblings.
When Fang Mu was young, his family was wealthy, and his parents ran a pet cultivation base.
In this world, where Beast Masters and Guardian Beasts predominate.
Besides capturing Guardian Beasts in the wild.
They also rely on the cultivation provided by these pet cultivation bases.
Any investment carries risk.
Due to some force majeure, their pet cultivation base couldn’t continue operations when Fang Mu was seven years old.
At the time, Fang Mu’s elder sister and second brother were still studying at Jinghai High School for Beast Masters.
And his third sister was preparing to go to college in Jinghai Junior High School.
Even with subsidies, and despite his sisters and brother receiving substantial scholarships every year.
Trying to cultivate Guardian Beasts was still like trying to quench a wildfire with a cup of water.
Because of this, Fang Mu’s parents decided to transport supplies to the active areas of the dimensional rift.
As a result, they were swallowed up by the Guardian Beast tide that surged out of the dimensional rift.
Seven-year-old children often have no coherent memories.
But Fang Mu remembered this incident very clearly.
In both his current and past lives, Fang Mu had parents who were devoted to their family, willing to sacrifice for their children.
Fang Mu, who lost his parents at the age of seven, was raised by his two sisters and brother.
Every month, Fang Mu would receive three remittances.
As an ordinary person, Fang Mu didn’t have much need for money.
This led Fang Mu to save most of the money.
He has now accumulated over seventy thousand Dragon Rising Coins.
The funds of the Dragon Rising Federation are divided into Federal Coins for ordinary people’s expenses and Dragon Rising Coins for trading among Beast Masters.
The exchange rate between Federal Coins and Dragon Rising Coins is one hundred to one.
Trading in two currencies can greatly reduce the financial pressure on ordinary people.
A Guardian Beast that can form a contract is priced around three thousand Dragon Rising Coins.
A Guardian Beast with decent combat ability is priced above five thousand Dragon Rising Coins.
Of course, this is just a general price.
Depending on the classification and type, the price of a Guardian Beast can be limitless.
The salary of an ordinary person and that of an ordinary person in Fang Mu’s previous life are not vastly different.
It’s quite easy for Beast Masters to make money.
Otherwise, Fang Mu wouldn’t have saved up more than seventy thousand Dragon Rising Coins just from the remittances sent by his sisters and brother.
Converted into Federal Coins, it amounts to more than seven million – a huge sum.
It’s difficult for an ordinary person to shell out three hundred thousand Federal Coins to buy a Guardian Beast with weak combat ability.
Let alone buying a Guardian Beast with decent combat capability, which prices start at five hundred thousand Federal Coins and above.
Fang Mu had originally planned to save this money for his elder sister, second brother, and third sister.
Even though this money was not a large sum for his siblings.
It can still be used for emergencies.
But now, since Fang Mu awakened his Destiny Guidebook.
Fang Mu planned to spend these seventy thousand plus Dragon Rising Coins on his chosen Guardian Beast and its cultivation.
