Awakening was not easy, and even if she didn't have grand dreams, she didn't want to live a mediocre life.

At the very least, she had to be worthy of this second life and worthy of the original owner.

Therefore, she had to carefully plan her future life.

Short-term Goal 1: Understand and train the Thunder Demon Bird, familiarize herself with its various abilities and skills, and establish sufficient intimacy with it.

Short-term Goal 2: Strengthen her own training and quickly raise her physical fitness level to E-rank.

Short-term Goal 3: Study hard and improve her ranking to within the top two hundred in her grade before the end-of-semester exam.

Short-term Goal 4: Contract a second Pet, preferably a healing type, to facilitate taking care of her grandmother's health.

Long-term Goal 1: Make money.

Long-term Goal...

“...Guo, g-u-o Guo~~ Definition: 1. Country. 2. Capital; Imperial City. 3...”

Mingxi put down her pen and looked at the Thunder Demon Bird squatting beside her, with a somewhat old children’s learning machine placed in front of its claws.

Mingxi was a woman of her word; she said she would study and progress together with her Pet, and she would never fool around.

She specifically dug out the learning machine the original owner used in elementary school and had it learn to read characters; the sound just now came from the learning machine.

Little X King learning machine, just tap where you don’t understand.

So easy!

After finishing her plan, Mingxi picked up her textbook and began to read intently.

Time unknowingly reached 9 PM.

Mingxi suddenly felt her mind become clear and lucid, as if a cool breeze had swept through it.

At this moment, the Pet Space, which should have been dormant in her sea of consciousness, materialized before her without warning.

And the originally precisely combined equilateral triangles dispersed, each piece extending and enlarging, finally rapidly combining into a large building.

Mingxi was dumbfounded.

She knew that the Pet Space could transform, but that required the Beast Tamers’ level to break through B-rank.

She was just a mere novice Beast Tamers.

There was really no need to give her so many strange things.

Moreover, her bedroom was only about 10 square meters, but this building must be at least two to three hundred square meters.

It was ridiculous.

Mingxi did not notice that the moment her Pet Space appeared, the electronic clock on her desk had stopped moving.

“Lei.”

The Thunder Demon Bird cried out, flying onto its Beast Tamers’ shoulder, its claws unconsciously gripping her shoulder blade, apparently also startled by the sudden scene.

What could Mingxi do? She could only endure the pain and let it continue gripping.

“Don’t be afraid, this is the Pet Space. Let’s go take a look first.”

The person and the Pet approached the building; the main door was open, but the interior was unclear.

Mingxi didn't hesitate for too long, taking her Pet and stepping right in.

“Hello, Miss Mingxi, congratulations on inheriting the Time Realm Private Pet Training Hall.”

“I am the Time Realm Private Pet Training Hall’s intelligent administrator, and also your exclusive assistant coach. You can call me Guangguang.”

A strange mechanical voice sounded, neither male nor female, and without emotional fluctuations.

Mingxi: ...

Time Realm Private Pet Training Hall? Inherit?

Wasn't this her Pet Space?

What should she do if things got more and more absurd?

Could she call the police?

“Esteemed Master, would you like to draw your training duration for today now?”

What training duration? What training duration needed to be drawn?

Alright, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Although she was completely bewildered and confused, it probably wasn’t a bad thing... right?

Mingxi nodded: “Okay, then draw it.”

“Okay, starting to draw today’s training duration.”

As the intelligent administrator named Guangguang’s voice settled, a large turntable suddenly appeared in front of Mingxi.

The turntable was divided into six equal sectors of different colors, each labeled with 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours, 24 hours, 30 hours, and 36 hours.

“Please spin the turntable.”

Mingxi rubbed her hands, preparing to step forward.

“Lei.”

The Thunder Demon Bird cried out, indicating it wanted to try.

Mingxi considered for a moment, but still refused, “Next time.”

It was the first time and she didn't know the situation, so it was safer for her to do it herself. What if there was danger?

She couldn't bear to let an underage Pet take the lead in such a matter. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Due to the existence of the contract, the Thunder Demon Bird was somewhat telepathic with her, and Pets’ perceptions were more acute than Beast Tamers’.

So, the Thunder Demon Bird sensed her inner thoughts and tilted its head, looking at her with some surprise.

Mingxi didn't notice; she had already stepped forward and spun the turntable.

“Congratulations, Master, you have obtained 24 hours of training time in the Time Realm Private Pet Training Hall. All training programs in the hall will be open to you and your Pet. The countdown now begins.”

The mechanical voice sounded again.

At the same time, a rectangular light board abruptly appeared above her Pet’s head.

It was like the kind of cheering light board often used by fans.

Fluorescent green, with a bright screen in the middle.

It displayed 23:59:13.

Mingxi looked at her oblivious Pet and couldn't resist reaching out to touch the «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» green glowing area, but only felt empty air.

“Lei?”

The Thunder Demon Bird looked at her inexplicable actions, its bird face bewildered.

Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief, confirming through the Thunder Demon Bird’s reaction that she probably didn’t have such a magical light board on her head.

Given the unequal treatment between them, she wisely decided to temporarily conceal the existence of the green light board.

Isn’t there a saying?

A secret makes a woman woman.

Who isn’t a woman?

Just then, the mist inside the training hall dispersed, revealing its true appearance and also drawing the Thunder Demon Bird’s attention.

Energy detectors, treatment pods, strength training machines...

Machines Mingxi recognized and didn’t recognize were neatly arranged nearby.

There were also various fitness equipment whose purpose she didn't know, and small rooms.

It really was a training hall?

“Cough... well, Guangguang, right? Before we start training, can we chat for a bit?”

This matter was without beginning or end; let alone mental preparation, she didn't even have physical preparation.

“Of course, as long as Master doesn’t mind the training time, I can chat for hundreds of yuan’s worth of time.”

Oh, this was an intelligent administrator who could joke.

“You just said I inherited this Time Realm Pet Training Hall? Then, may I ask who its previous owner was? And why did it choose me to inherit it?”

“The Time Realm Pet Training Hall is a derivative of the rules of time. You are the first inheritor it has chosen on its own.”

Mingxi: ...She couldn’t help but suspect that she was actually the legendary Chosen One.

This feeling of being enveloped by a protagonist's halo from every angle was really hard for her to ignore.

Look at this golden finger she was given; she even felt a little like getting carried away.

“...Then, tell me the rules for using this Pet Training Hall.”

“Okay.”
