In the cramped room, a simple single bed and an old writing desk sit side by side in the soft light.

On one side of the door, in a mirror about a foot square attached to the wall, the young face of a young man was reflected in it, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Tuk tuk. ”

There was a knock on the door, and the voice of a middle-aged woman came from outside the door:

"Xiao Che, it's late, why don't you sleep yet, and tomorrow you have to go to school to take the beast master test. ”

The confusion in the young man's eyes dissipated, and he replied, "Got it, Mom, I'll sleep right away." ”

The slight footsteps outside the door walked to the other side, and the young man showed an indescribable smile on his face, and whispered to himself:

"What to do so much, if you come to it, you will be safe, this is also a new starting point of life. ”

The boy's name is Zhang Che, and he is a senior high school student in Qianwei City No. 2 Middle School, a central city in the China Region of the Mercury Alliance.

Mercury, an otherworldly planet, is highly similar to Earth in terms of technological development and political relations, but Mercury is ten times larger than Earth.

Thirty-six years ago, it was divided into hundreds of countries and regions.

However, just 36 years ago, Mercury ushered in a cataclysm.

A violent space storm swept the world, and after the storm subsided, Mercury was devastated, more than half of the buildings were destroyed, and nearly one-third of the population was killed or wounded, as if it had experienced an apocalyptic disaster.

Just when people thought that the disaster was over, mysterious space gates suddenly appeared around the world, and countless various alien beasts surged out of the space gates, frantically attacking human settlements.

These strange beasts are strange and terrifying, even the weakest are comparable to wild beasts, and the strongest of them, even if they use missiles, they can only hit them hard, and it is difficult to completely destroy them.

The war lasted for three years, many weak and small countries were completely wiped out by foreign beasts, the major powers also suffered heavy casualties, and the population of Mercury once again shrank by half, and the remaining population was only one-third of what it was before the disaster.

The most unbelievable thing is that after the death of these strange beasts, they do not leave corpses, but turn into clouds of light and shadow and fly back to those mysterious space gates, causing Mercury humans to want to study the characteristics of these strange beasts but cannot get them.

In the three-year war, although the alien beasts have not been completely eliminated, they have also been driven out of the settlement by humans, and the two sides have been evenly matched.

During the stalemate of the war, the remaining countries on Mercury sought cooperation, and finally established the Mercury Alliance, and formed a large number of expeditions composed of soldiers and scientific researchers, regardless of life and death, to enter the space gate and seek a way to completely eliminate the alien beast.

After the expedition team entered the space gate, they found that this was a vast and boundless world, where all technological products were useless, guns had become useless burning sticks, and people could only fight against strange beasts with the cold weapons they carried.

When the expedition team successfully killed the alien beast in this world, they were stunned to find that although the killed alien beast would not leave a corpse, there was a certain probability that it would become a strange card, and those with stronger mental power than ordinary people could actually cause spiritual resonance with the card, so as to activate the card, or turn into a combat body of the alien beast before its death, or turn it into a weapon and armor, which greatly improved the strength of the expedition members.

This kind of card is uniformly called the Alien Beast Card.

And those who can inspire spiritual resonance with the Alien Beast Card are called Beast Master.

At this point, a new era has arrived!

After discovering this secret, the alliance government immediately invested a lot of manpower, entered various space gates one after another, destroyed a large number of alien beasts inside, and cultivated one beast master after another.

In order to restore the peace and stability of Mercury as soon as possible, the first batch of Beast Masters moved to the battlefield and returned to Mercury to destroy the Alien Beasts, also in order to be able to obtain more Alien Beast Cards.

However, once again, to people's surprise, the remaining beasts on Mercury were killed by the beast master through the beasts, and they were able to leave their corpses, but they could not form new beast cards.

But for the alliance, this is enough, with the corpse of the alien beast, the relevant research can be carried out immediately, at least the materials with various characteristics on the alien beast are very high-level new resources.

The scales of war shifted as more and more powerful beast masters were created, and eventually, after a few years, the remaining beasts on Mercury were almost wiped out.

Just when most people thought that Mercury would be completely peaceful, and government departments, research institutes, and consortia lamented that there was no new source of research materials, ten years after the space door was first opened, boundless alien beasts once again frantically poured out.

Although the beasts that came out this time were not much different from the previous one on the whole, the strong ones among them could no longer be killed by heavy weapons such as missiles, and in the end, they could only be wiped out at the cost of heavy casualties by relying on the best of the first batch of beast masters.

At this point, the Mercury Alliance realized the cruelty of the new era, that is, every ten years, the space doors will open one after another, and every time the alien beasts that emerge from it, the high-level combat power will be improved to a certain extent.

This is both an opportunity and a challenge for the Mercury Alliance.

A larger number and more types of alien beast corpses play an important role in improving the technological level of Mercury in all aspects, but a more powerful alien beast also means that the Mercury Alliance will be in danger of collapse if it is not careful.

In the absence of the use of nuclear weapons due to the living environment, the high-level beast master has become the backbone of the resistance to the attack of the alien beasts.

Gradually, the Beast Master became the most respected, the most desirable profession, and at the same time one of the professions with the highest social status.

However, not everyone can successfully become a beast master, and if you want to stimulate spiritual resonance with the different beast cards, you need a certain amount of spiritual strength.

Over the decades, research has shown that if you want to become a beast master, you need to reach the age of at least 16 years old, and once you reach the age of 18 and cannot become a beast master, then the possibility of becoming a beast master in the future will become very small, and the probability is so small that one in a thousand.

Zhang Che will be 18 years old in half a month, and before that, since he was 16 years old, he has taken the Beast Master test 4 times at school, but he has failed all of them.

If he still can't pass the test this time, then the tall profession of the beast master will have to say goodbye to him completely.

"Hehe, isn't this the beginning of Dianniang's iconic waste wood flow? I didn't expect that I just crossed over, and God arranged such a bloody set, this is not popular now, okay!"

Zhang Che smiled bitterly, shook his head, turned off the lights and went to bed.

It's useless to think too much, since God has let him cross over, how can he not arrange a golden finger for himself? It's just a matter of time.

Zhang Che comforted himself like this in his heart......
