Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 316 - 205: Complete Beastification and His Wamiya

Chapter 316: Chapter 205: Complete Beastification and His Wamiya

To encourage the Beastmen to take their studies seriously, An Jin established a system of rewards and punishments.

For example, if you failed an exam, you would have to continue studying for another month or pay for your room and board.

But if you ranked among the top few in an exam, you could receive generous rewards: Beast Coins, food, cloth, and so on. The highest prize was a precious Beast Crystal, something all Beastmen clamored for.

This was precisely why she had exchanged for a large number of Beast Crystals earlier.

With this series of measures, the Beastmen’s enthusiasm for learning reached unprecedented heights. The academic atmosphere in the city grew stronger, and many Beastmen would even gather in their free time to discuss their lessons with each other.

More and more Beastmen came to study. The number of classes grew from one to two, then to three, four... To lighten her own workload, An Jin trained a new batch of teachers and assigned them evenly to each class.

According to her original plan, An Jin had set up multiple subjects in the academy. Besides the mandatory literacy class, there were specialized courses like agriculture, iron-smelting, herbalism, culinary arts, and weaving.

However, there were conditions for enrolling in these specialized courses—

The Beastmen of this city could study for free if they wished, but Beastmen from other cities or tribes would be charged tuition.

’Will I lose money? What a joke. There are plenty of ways to make a profit.’ An Jin, the sly little merchant, was venturing further and further down the golden road of moneymaking.

"Awoo~" Every time class started, a crowd of little cubs would secretly gather outside the window.

The little cubs would peek in with curiosity and envy, pressing their fluffy faces against the window and staring eagerly inside.

Faint paw prints, like natural engravings, were visible on the clear glass panes, making one chuckle.

The moment they saw An Jin glance toward the window, the previously listless cubs’ eyes would light up. "Awoo! Awoo!" They would scramble to wave their tender little paws, desperate to get her attention.

Many Beast Fathers and Beast Mothers only gave birth but didn’t raise their young, so these cubs often went hungry. They could only gnaw on leftover bones and scraps of meat from the adult Beastmen’s meals. At times like these, An Jin would often bring them fragrant, hot food to eat.

So, in the hearts of the many little cubs she had practically raised, she was their mother... ah, no! Their big sister!

When class was over, An Jin opened the door.

"Awoo..." The little cubs timidly poked their heads into the room. Their round eyes darted left and right as they lowered their damp little noses to sniff the ground.

"What brings you all here?" She casually picked up a little wolf cub and ruffled its fluffy head.

The little wolf cub placed its two tender front paws on her shoulders, nuzzled its fluffy head against her chest, and then licked her face with its little pink tongue.

The other little cubs also ran to her, circling her legs and begging to be held.

Although she couldn’t understand the beast tongue, An Jin guessed that they were very bored. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been bored enough to come "listen in" on the classes.

’Learning should start from a young age. I should build a kindergarten for these little cubs! With proper learning, play, and training programs, I can nurture their growth in every way.’

And so, An Jin silently added "kindergarten" to her mental checklist.

’And if there’s a kindergarten, a retirement home should also be on the agenda.’

Without the nourishment of precious Beast Crystals, Beastmen aged very quickly. Most only lived to be forty or fifty years old.

Now, four or five years had passed, and there were many more middle-aged and elderly individuals in the city. The younger Beastmen, however, had little concept of caring for the elderly, so these Old Beastmen could only scrape by on relief rations from the tribe.

’These Old Beastmen, who have lost their ability to hunt or even care for themselves, fought desperately for the tribe in their youth. Now that they’re old, they deserve to be placed in a retirement home to live out their golden years in happiness.’

She once again added "retirement home" to her mental agenda.

After class ended that evening, she announced these two project plans and assigned them to the relevant Beastmen for construction.

...

Today was a rare day off. An Jin slept all the way until noon, then rubbed her sore shoulder blades as she got up to wash.

"Why have my shoulders been so uncomfortable these past two days? I haven’t been sleeping on my side..." It had been a while since she last visited Chi Li, so An Jin decided to go have him take a look.

Before she even reached the wooden cabin, she saw a large, lush green mass dancing happily in the wind. As she got closer, she realized it was the Bone Flower.

’A cold season and a windy season have passed, and it’s already grown this big.’

An Jin’s eyes widened involuntarily.

"Good morning... oh, wait, good afternoon!" she said, waving at the large flower.

The large flower cheerfully shook its vibrant green leaves at her.

Chi Li heard the commotion and had just opened the door when he saw this scene of "human and nature in harmony." A smile touched his eyes. "Are you greeting a plant?"

’Even the cubs aren’t this childish.’

"Don’t underestimate it. It can understand people. I can prove it!" An Jin said, turning her head to look at him.

"Is that so?" Chi Li chuckled, not taking it to heart. Still, he walked up to her and waved at the large flower as well. But the flower in question started playing dead, not moving at all.

’Hmph! This fox is always plucking its leaves. It doesn’t want to see him at all.’

"See? It’s not conscious. It didn’t even respond to me." As he spoke, Chi Li plucked a few more leaves from it. "But its medicinal value is truly high. I mixed its leaves into ordinary wound medicine and actually managed to save three dying Beastmen. That’s something I’ve never seen before."

The moment its leaves were plucked, the little flower trembled. But just then, a gust of wind blew past, so neither Chi Li nor An Jin noticed anything unusual.

"Anyway, what brings you here? Did something happen?"

"My shoulders have been feeling a bit uncomfortable the past couple of days, so I came to have you take a look," An Jin said, stating her purpose directly.

"Come inside and I’ll take a look."

"Okay." She nodded and followed him into the house.

After the examination, Chi Li couldn’t find the cause of the problem. She was as healthy as a thriving young deer.

"Pain in the shoulder blades..." Chi Li pondered for a moment, then looked up at her, a faint crease appearing between his handsome brows. "It must be that your beast form is about to fully develop..."

"Indeed, the timing is about right. Be careful these next few days. Come find me the moment anything happens," he instructed her before she left.

An Jin took his advice to heart, constantly monitoring her body’s condition. Then, one night, she was jolted awake by an intense, searing pain.

"Ah..." Her whole body felt like it was on fire. Her throat was so dry and sore she couldn’t make another sound. Sweat poured from her forehead, and her breathing became faint, almost disappearing entirely.

Mi Yin and the others were all woken by the sound and rushed to her bedside.

"Jin’er, what’s wrong?"

But she no longer had the strength to answer them.

Mi Yin’s heart ached so much he could barely breathe. He quickly gathered her convulsing body into his arms to comfort her, while Ling Hong and Xi each took one of her hands.

An Jin’s body was in agony, but her mind was strangely clear—clearer than it had ever been. She could even feel all the pain circulate through her body several times before converging on a single point on her back.

It felt as if two bloody holes had been stabbed there by sharp blades, and something was frantically sprouting from the ravaged flesh.

...

Meanwhile, in Unicorn King City, inside a castle more magnificent and towering than any Stone Castle, snow-white, exotic flowers and the most brilliant Crystal Stones were everywhere.

On a tall throne, a handsome man with silver hair that flowed like moonlight was resting his chin on one hand, his eyes closed in a light nap. A pair of long, snow-white wings were neatly folded behind his back.

Countless Beast Servants attended to him with the utmost reverence.

Suddenly, the silver-haired man opened his enchanting violet eyes, their gaze as impassive as snow. He stared, stunned, at the air not far away. His hands, resting on the throne, tightened unconsciously, his knuckles turning deathly white.

"Wamiya..."

’His Wamiya.’
