Chapter 599: Sideline of Spiritual Beast Breeding

After pushing his luggage and getting off the train, Mu Feng saw a desolate scene before his eyes.

Looking into the distance through the train platform, there is not a trace of green as far as the eye can see, and the wind is blowing dust.

Mu Feng had learned about this area in the database before coming here.

This place used to be a plain with lush green plants, but since the arrival of the Tianxuan clan's domain field, this area has become what it is now.

After eight years of war, the Tianxuan Domain was dispersed and the territory returned to human hands, but the destroyed landscape could never be restored.

But the emergence of the Tianxuan clan is not all bad.

After the Tianxuan Domain Field was dispelled, the resources brought by it were also covered and integrated into the land below. There are now three underground spiritual mines here, which contain rich low- and medium-level spiritual mines. Every year, a batch of heavy punishments are released

Prisoners are sent here to mine, and the mined spiritual ore resources are returned to Star City. They have also made a lot of valuable contributions to the development of Star City over the years.

After walking out of the temporary train platform, Mu Feng pushed his luggage and headed towards the A-32 breeding farm according to the map given by the spirit animal management department.

There are no buildings along the way, just a main winding road leading into the distance.

As night fell, Mu Feng saw the signboard of the breeding farm standing next to the main road.

An hour later, Mu Feng saw the farm building.

This is an arched steel building with no fortifications at the entrance gate. When you step into it, you will see the lobby on the first floor, and above it is the enclosure area divided into floors.

The venue environment on each floor is completely different.

For example, some sites have a large number of green plants planted, and some sites are completely covered with dark stones. This is specially created to adapt to the habits of different spiritual animals. It is an artificial ecosystem under semi-open management. The purpose is to

Allow different species of spiritual animals to adapt to the growing environment.

Mu Feng was completely unfamiliar with this breeding farm.

We don’t even know how many people are responsible for managing this farm.

The spirit animal management department only sent him the job address, but did not provide details about the relevant situation in the breeding farm.

After standing on the first floor and looking up at the various spiritual beast breeding floors for a long time, Mu Feng took out a piece of paper from his pocket and dialed the number of the contact person above.

After a long time, the phone was connected, and a strong voice rang in his ear:

"Who are you looking for?"

"I am a graduate of this year's Wisdom Academy. According to the arrangements of the spirit beast management department, I came to report."

"Finally, someone has come to take over. Just wait a moment on the first floor. I'll be there soon."

After a long time, Mu Feng saw a figure walking out of the elevator.

What surprised Mu Feng was that the person who came to meet him turned out to be an old man. His beard and hair were all white, but his energy was very good.

"Are you Mu Feng, my successor?" When he came to Mu Feng, the old man smiled happily.

"Hello, senior, I am Mu Feng."

"Let's go and show you where you will live in the future. I will retire in about three years, and then you will be fully responsible for managing this place."

Hearing these words, Mu Feng was immediately stunned:

"Senior, how many people are working on this farm? Why did I take over full management after you retired?"

"Stupid, I said so. Of course there are only two of us. When I retire, you will be solely responsible for the management."

"Ah? I am the only one who manages such a large breeding farm?" After hearing the old man's answer, Mu Feng was dumbfounded.

"It sounds difficult, but it's actually not difficult to do. The work here is not very intensive, and there are automated assembly line feeding machines responsible for feeding food. Your task is to supervise and observe the situation of the spirit beasts, and you must monitor them every day.

Get along with the spirit beasts and cultivate the spirit beasts' trust in humans... In short, the work intensity is not high, you can do it alone, I haven't been here for so many years."

Looking at the white-haired old man, Mu Feng was immediately dumbfounded.

He hoped that the work would be a little harder, but at least he would have someone to accompany him.

Surrounded by a barren wasteland with no recreational facilities, he thought he might go crazy if he stayed here alone.

After all, his time here is not just a few years, but decades, until he retires.

But at this time, he had no choice at all. With sadness, he followed the old man to the second floor and was placed in an empty room.

The facilities in the room are complete and the area is more than 150 square meters.

The living environment may be good, but Mu Feng is not happy at all. He feels that he will probably have to spend the rest of his life here.

After putting down his luggage and packing briefly, Mu Feng followed the old man to the sofa in the lobby on the first floor and sat down.

Through the old man's introduction, Mu Feng had a preliminary understanding of this breeding farm.

The old man's name is "Xie She". Like him, he graduated from the Wisdom Institute and was one of the first batch of spirit beast breeding technicians trained in Star City.

There are eighteen kinds of spirit beasts that are mainly bred in this breeding farm at your feet, but they are all medium and low-quality spirit beasts. There are no high-quality spirit beasts that need to be bred here.

Their usual tasks are very simple. They have to go to different floors every day to check the status of the spirit beasts, and then they can leave after spending some time with the spirit beasts.

According to the old man, although the neighborhood is deserted, all facilities here are complete.

Star City took into account the boring work in the breeding farms outside the city, so it equipped them with many entertainment facilities, such as game rooms, movie theaters, and other facilities.

Working here, there are no holidays, but my family can take the train out of the city to visit me at any time.

If you have a partner in the future, and the partner has not graduated from a university and has not been assigned a job, you can also live here with him.

When Mu Feng asked the old man where his partner was, the old man showed an awkward smile:

"We had it back then, but later we got divorced due to various incompatibilities, and we didn't leave any children. We have no plans to get married again in the future. There is a high probability that we will be single for the rest of our lives."

In the old man, Mu Feng seemed to see his future self.

As for why there are no vacations at the farm, he can completely understand.

At present, the development of spiritual animal science has only been a few decades, and it is in a stage of vigorous development. New spiritual animal species are introduced every year, and new breeding farms are constantly being built. There is a huge gap in breeding technicians. This is also the reason.

One of the reasons why low-level universities like Wisdom University can also have this major.

What Mu Feng didn't expect was that the shortage of breeding technicians was far greater than he imagined.

But if he thought about it carefully, he could also figure out the reason.

At the current stage of Star City, the number one project must be the construction task of Dawn City.

There was a huge shortage of construction manpower in Dawn City, which was one of the main reasons why Ji He, the leader of Star City at the time, promoted family planning.

The priority of the spirit animal breeding project is far lower than that of the construction of Dawn City, and a large amount of manpower has been taken away by Dawn City, resulting in the development of the spirit animal breeding profession being restricted.

After initially understanding his mission in the breeding farm, Mu Feng felt helpless, but he could only accept it. After all, he had no choice.

…

One month later.

From the initial sadness to now a month later, Mu Feng has gradually accepted the job here.

Although it is surrounded by barren land where birds do not poop, the facilities in the breeding farm are very complete, so you don't have to worry about life problems.

Every month, a dedicated resource transportation team will arrive, bringing the materials needed to breed spirit beasts, and then they will be asked to make a list on which they can write down what they need.

For example, the food you want to eat or the technology products you need can also be listed on the shopping list.

The treatment was better than he imagined, but he had to pay for it with his youth.

The old man Xie She is his guide. He has reached the age of retirement. His current task is to familiarize him with the work process here and the things that need to be paid attention to. He will return to Star City in a few years and he will be the only one here.

hold fast.

According to the old man, the spirit animal breeding profession is still in the development stage, so he does not need to be too pessimistic.

Perhaps when the manpower gap is filled, he will be able to welcome new people soon, and then the work on the farm will be more leisurely.

Mu Feng just listened to the old man's comfort.

The old man has lived here alone for decades, but his life is very interesting. He cultivated a field for himself in the breeding area on the third floor, planted various fruits and vegetables, and also raised some fish in the pond on the sixth floor.

For your own entertainment or consumption.

In addition to these life sentiments, Mu Feng discovered that the old man was very enthusiastic about breeding spiritual animals.

He has turned his work into a hobby and devoted himself wholeheartedly to it. In his room, there is a cabinet of notebooks recording the living habits of spirit beasts.

According to the old man's own words, he has no children in his life. His parents have passed away long ago. He only has the companions of the spirit animals in the breeding farm. The spirit animals have become an indispensable part of his life.

If it weren't for Star City's stipulation that when you reach the retirement age, you are prone to making mistakes at work and must leave, he really has no idea of ​​leaving.

The old man's optimistic attitude also changed Mu Feng's mentality.

During this month, in addition to working hours, Mu Feng would also play games with the old man or make delicious food together.

Occasionally, the two of them would sit on the balcony on the top floor and watch the yellow sand sky outside through the transparent glass, and then sit together and enjoy a cup of tea grown and picked by the old man himself.

Or cook hot pot in the artificial snow farm on the fourth floor.

This kind of life is very leisurely and does not make Mu Feng feel boring.

With decades of breeding experience, the old man has developed his own knowledge on spiritual animal breeding.
