Beast Taming, Starting with Raising Pigs!

Everyone else was just talking, but Jiang Qing had actually studied postpartum care for sows at university.

With graduation drawing near, she thought all she had to worry about was finding a job. Who could have guessed that the moment she stretched out her leg, she would transmigrate?

And she had landed in a world where people’s status and strength were judged by the strange beasts they contracted.

She arrived on the very day of the beast-taming exam.

After looking high and low, Jiang Qing finally managed to contract a... pig.

Jiang Qing: "..."

How could this not count as a perfect match for her major?

Since it had been her choice, Jiang Qing could only accept it. And so began her daily life raising pigs in another world.

While her classmates struggled to gather materials for leveling up, Jiang Qing raised pigs.

While everyone else went off to brave the wilds, Jiang Qing raised pigs.

When the others returned from their adventures, showing off their achievements despite their injuries, Jiang Qing... was still raising pigs.

Before long, the reputation that "Jiang Qing can only raise pigs" had spread throughout the entire academy.

Even her professors could only shake their heads and sigh in exasperation whenever they mentioned her: "This student is beyond teaching!"

Then, on the day of the graduation assessment, Jiang Qing, who had kept a low profile for four years, finally appeared at the exam site with the pig she had raised for all four years.

Everyone there would remember that scene forever.

The moment the starting signal sounded, a huge, dark teal shadow slowly emerged from behind Jiang Qing.

In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color.

The giant pig swelled at incredible speed, blotting out the sky in the blink of an eye. The world beneath its feet seemed no more than a colony of ants.

A terrifying pressure swept across the entire field, freezing even the air.

Jiang Qing's opponent's legs gave way, and they dropped to their knees in terror. "Th-this is the... pig you raised?!"

Jiang Qing nodded.

"..." The entire field fell completely silent.

Help!

[Note: The pig is the male lead. If that's not your thing, please steer clear. Sorry.]

I'm leaving a little bookmark here and recommending my upcoming novel: "So This Is What You City Folk Call Beast Taming"

Blurb:

Bai Que had a special ability from childhood: she could train animals to obey her absolutely. And it wasn't just her. Everyone in her village had the same ability.

When she turned eighteen, Bai Que went to the city for the first time. She was the first person from her village to get into a city university. Filled with excitement and anticipation, she said goodbye to everyone back home.

Before she left, her parents and the villagers told her to tone it down. She shouldn't be fierce with animals in front of people, or talk to them, or she would scare her new classmates in the city.

Bai Que took her parents' words to heart.

The city really was wonderful. On her first day at school, she never expected that the university would give every student a pet.

As expected of city pets, they were not only adorable but also incredibly affectionate. They were so much more obedient than Da Huang, Er Niu, and San Feng, the rough-looking animals back in her village.

Bai Que thought her parents had been worrying for nothing. How could she be fierce with such well-behaved little cuties?

Bai Que always thought she had done a good job of keeping her abilities hidden. Little did she know that her actions left the teachers and students at the academy utterly stunned.

The icefield wolfhounds, impossible for even the academy's prodigies to tame, bowed their heads and wagged their tails for her, acting more like devoted puppies than actual dogs.

The thunderstorm griffins, which the teachers couldn't handle, turned into kittens in front of her, rolling over to show their bellies and beg for affection.

Even the giant rock king serpents, which made professors keep their distance, behaved like fresh recruits around her.

Everyone had only one thought: This girl is terrifying!

Her beast-taming talent had to be the strongest one of all: [Absolute Obedience].

The most powerful beast tamer of the day even praised her, saying, "She is undoubtedly the most talented beast tamer of the past hundred years. There is no one else who even comes close!"

After hearing her roommates recount what had happened, Bai Que bashfully scratched her head.

She still decided not to tell her classmates that there were actually plenty of people just like her in her village, in case she scared them.
