Interstellar Heartthrob Beast Tamer [Male Competition]

Gurgle, gurgle—

In a daze,

The water kept pouring into his nostrils and ears.

The icy coldness pierced to the bone, and Wen Meng choked as it went down her throat.

I almost felt like vomiting.

Even if the tap water quality is poor, it should be disinfectant/chlorine smell, not the fishy smell of water.

I'm going to throw up.

At that moment, she suddenly opened her eyes.

A ray of sunlight shone down.

Reflected on the surface of the water above, shimmering ripples of light.

The colorful school of fish swam by slowly.

And she, in the water.

Even still sinking... sinking,

What's going on?!

No time to attend to anything else.

Under the influence of her will to survive, Wen Meng used both her hands and feet, desperately swimming towards the surface.

Fortunately, I learned to swim during the summer vacation, otherwise, I would have lost my life today.

Kept swimming until reaching the shore,

It was only when her entire body collapsed to the ground that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She hadn't yet had time to ponder why she was in the water

A sharp pain shot through her head, and Wen Meng fainted from the agony.

Fragments of memory kept shattering and reassembling in her mind.

Finally, she remembered what had happened ten minutes ago.

It was two bodyguard-like individuals who brought her to this desolate planet.

Originally, I intended to use a dagger to kill and silence them, but later I thought it might be easier to push them into the lake.

"Miss, I'm sorry."

The bodyguard in black shoved her towards the lake.

The force wasn't strong, so she didn't fall in directly.

"Why do this to me?"

She had no idea that she was about to meet her end here.

"You still call her 'Miss'? She's just an impostor."

Another bodyguard was much more ruthless.

He didn't answer her question at all; instead, he kicked her straight into the lake.

With a splash.

"Rest in peace, Wen Meng."

The man made a pretentious gesture of prayer.

Then, the two of them piloted the spaceship and left.

So, have I traveled through time?

Wen Meng looked around at the surrounding scenery.

Vast stretches of primeval forest, sky azure, lake water crystal clear.

The scenery was quite nice, but it was desolate, with no signs of human habitation.

Wait, they called her Wen Meng.

The name of this body is the same as mine?!

Coincidentally, the malicious supporting character in a recent interstellar novel she read was also named Wen Meng.

Could it be that I've entered a book?

At that moment, Wen Meng saw a familiar backpack.

That was what she always carried to school in her memory.

Her student ID was still hanging outside.

Imperial Star National High School, Grade 3 (A) Class, Wen Meng.

The photo was unmistakably of herself.

No escape..

Wen Meng felt the blood in her veins turn cold.

The plot of that novel is very melodramatic.

The Wen family was a noble household on the Emperor Star. At birth, their only daughter was mistakenly switched with the daughter of a poor family from the neighboring bed

Eighteen years later, the truth was finally revealed.

The malicious supporting character, who was a fake daughter, learned the news in advance and tried every possible way to prevent the real daughter, the female protagonist, from returning to the Wen family, even going so far as to frame her.

However, with the help of the male lead, who is none other than the young general of the Emperor Star, Huo Xiao, the female lead's wrongful conviction was overturned.

The two of them worked together, eradicating the interstellar beast that had plagued the star realm for a century.

In the end, the lovers finally became a couple, receiving the adoration and praise of all the people in the Star Realm.

And she, the malicious supporting character... died in a great flood caused by a disaster beast.

Hiss.

She almost died in the water, that's true, but she was pushed in by someone, not because of the flood caused by the disaster beast.

This is different from the original work.

It was obvious that she had been drugged by those two bodyguards on her way to school and brought to this desolate planet to be killed!

The current plot has reached the point where the true daughter has just returned to the Wen family.

The family that adopted the real daughter was very poor, and later on, they didn't even have a decent house.

As soon as it rains, there are puddles everywhere.

Their own flesh and blood wandered outside and endured so many years of hardship before returning to the Imperial Star to recognize their ancestors and reclaim their heritage.

Because the mistress of the Wen family gave birth during an interstellar trip, the limited medical environment and lax management on the small star led to the babies being switched

causing her to feel a constant sense of guilt.

I want to make up for the little one's misery with double the love.

Love does not disappear, it only shifts

Mother's love had completely shifted from Wen Meng to the real daughter.

For her, the imposter, the feelings nurtured over many years could not be erased overnight.

Although she still retained her name, Wen Meng, she had gradually become an invisible presence in the Wen family.

The real daughter was named Wen Xin.

The meaning is "the apple of one's eye."

Originally, the Wen family and the Huo family had a marriage agreement

According to the wishes of the Wen family's elders, they wanted to replace Wen Meng with Wen Xin to marry Huo Xiao.

Including many other things that were originally meant for Wen Meng, now all of them have been given to Wen Xin.

Wen Meng's status in the Wen family is now even lower than that of the servants.

She couldn't understand who would want to harm such a powerless and pitiful person so viciously

But since the original Wen Meng has already died, now the soul in this body..

She is a prospective university student majoring in biology, Wen Meng.

If you don't know how to go back, then just live well for now.

Wen Meng opened her backpack.

Inside was an orange kitten.

That was her favorite stuffed toy.

Her hand had just touched the plush toy when a mechanical system sound rang out.

[Ding, congratulations on awakening your beast-taming ability]

Who is speaking?

Wen Meng looked around warily.

There was no one.

[Only you can hear my voice, great Beastmaster]

It was the orange cat plush toy speaking.

Since she had already been transported into a book, Wen Meng could handle any other strange occurrences that might happen.

But why does this opening sound so familiar?

"Hello, system."

Wen Meng was well-versed and experienced; reading many novels had its advantages.

[Cough, cough.]

It seemed quite surprised by her good receptivity, the system felt a bit awkward, wondering why she wasn't making a fuss.

After a round of communication.

Wen Meng suddenly realized.

It turns out that the superpower she awakened is a system!

In this interstellar novel, the setting is that noble families, due to their rare bloodlines, have a high probability of awakening supernatural abilities.

The three brothers of the Wen family, including Father Wen and Mother Wen, all awakened their supernatural abilities.

Regardless of the level of the supernatural ability, awakening it means being elevated above ordinary commoners.

And she, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, had now been identified as an impostor.

Almost 85 years old, and there was still no sign of awakening any abilities.

If the real daughter had not returned, the Wen family would still have loved her just the same.

But the real daughter who returned awakened a superpower, and it was even an A-level one!

This is also another important reason why Wen Meng is not well-liked in the Wen family.

What a pity.

If the original Wen Meng had awakened this beast-taming ability earlier, would she still be alive?

"How should I use this superpower?"

Wen Meng was very curious.

To be honest, she didn't feel that there was anything particularly different about her body compared to before.

"Pinch my left foot," said Little Orange.

"..." What a unique way.

The plush toy makes a sound; there must be an outlet.

Where is the speaker?

Wen Meng held the little orange cat in her arms,

[Stop looking, I'm in your mind]

[It's just using something that has a bond with you as a medium.]

Hehe, I've been seen through.

Wen Meng felt a bit embarrassed.

She smiled and pinched Little Orange's left... paw.

Swish—

An electronic light screen popped open.

High technology!?

The interface was very much like a nurturing game.

There are four lit icons above,

[Pets], [Items], [Skills], [Shop]

The first three were empty.

The mall has not been unlocked yet.

In the upper right corner, there is a pet affection value.

Currently, the pet affection value is 0.

Little Ju briefly introduced this system interface to Wen Meng.

She needed to make a pact with the disaster beast, to tame it

Gaining pet affection points while interacting with the disaster beast,

Then you can use pet points to buy items in the store, and the items obtained in the world can also be placed in the system's item bar.

Equivalent to a portable space.

Wen Meng was overjoyed, this is awesome!

However, a disaster beast?

So it turns out that the Beast Master system she awakened actually tames disaster beasts?!

In the worldview of the original novel, disaster beasts are exceptionally ferocious creatures.

They not only possess human intelligence, but their innate ability to control natural disasters makes them beings on par with deities.

If humans hadn't later awakened their own supernatural abilities, there would have been no possibility of contending with them.

In fact, the disaster beasts had always lived in this star realm; they were merely ordinary star beasts at that time.

Since the Imperial Star military discovered that these star beasts were related to disasters.

The fierce battle between humans and the disaster beasts never ceased.

And it was from that moment on that the title before the Star Beast changed from "Star" to "Disaster."

"I don't know what a disaster beast looks like either."

Wen Meng felt quite troubled. Humans and disaster beasts were enemies, yet she had to befriend the disaster beasts. Could this be considered a betrayal of humanity?

[As long as the disaster beast is by your side, you can sense it.]

Alright then.

Wen Meng stood up, still wearing the uniform of the Imperial Star National High School.

Her suit jacket was soaked and wouldn't dry anytime soon, so she simply took it off and carried it in her hand.

The skirt was short, reaching her thighs, and she had already twisted it once

Fortunately, it is early summer now, so it doesn't feel very cold even like this.

The white shirt on his body was very thin and soaked through, making it inevitable that he would be exposed

But this planet seemed desolate and uninhabited, and she didn't mind.

Although it is currently noon, the sky will soon turn dark.

She had to quickly explore this desolate planet and find a place to stay.

The most crucial thing was, she was hungry..

Gazing at the lake's surface, the fish in the water were all cunning and clever.

At the slightest sign of trouble, they vanished without a trace.

Wen Meng chose to abandon this path.

Without tools, she couldn't reach it at all!

Putting the backpack on again, Wen Meng set off.

Next to the lake is a stretch of reed marshes.

As a fan of "Animal World," she was well aware of the various dangers lurking in the reed marshes.

But, there are also many treasures.

Egg?!

A nest of round, white fluff, discovered by her!

I don't know which animal left it.

Compared to unknown wild fruits and mushrooms, eggs should be one of the safest foods.

With the idea of sustainable development in mind,

Wen Meng carefully took only one

This size is enough for her to have a meal.

Stealing the egg naturally meant staying far from the scene of the crime.

Wen Meng ran directly in the other direction for about a kilometer.

In a field of dry grass,

She found some flint that could start a fire.

Picked up a few more dry sticks.

Relying on the knowledge learned from wilderness survival,

She successfully lit the fire.

Great! Let's roast some eggs right away!

Just as she stoked the flames higher,

The faint sound of shattering was drowned out by the crackling of burning dry wood.

The white egg lying quietly by her hand,

A small crack unexpectedly appeared.

Then, the crack slowly widened.

It was obvious that something was struggling to break out!
