Beast Tamer: The pet is just to help me build a bond

Chapter 82 Skill Book and Magic Core

On Monday, I go to school by bus as usual.

When he arrived in the classroom, Chen Wen found that he had become the focus of everyone's attention. Normally, he had to summon Abao to attract the attention of the whole class.

"Chen Wen, I heard that you represented the school in the competition last week and won five in a row?"

Chen Wen smiled and nodded, saying, "Isn't this nonsense? Don't you read the class group?"

"Niu beep!"

"That's amazing! You brought honor to our Grade 2 Beast Taming Class!"

"It's true. It's incredible."

"..."

Amidst all the praise, Chen Wen summoned Po out.

Lin Hai, the keeper that day, came running over with breakfast in his hand and said with a smile, "A-Po is so amazing, and I have contributed to that, too!"

"Don't I have any credit?" someone asked.

Chen Wen waved his hand and said, "Abao grew up eating at many people's homes. All of his achievements are due to everyone's efforts."

As he spoke, he secretly sent a message to Po in his heart.

Po, who was drinking the cow's milk, stood up quickly, not even bothering to wipe the milk stains from the corners of his mouth, and made a heart shape to everyone in a naive manner.

The classmates who had fed Abao in the past were immediately moved and felt a sense of accomplishment that their silly son had grown up.

"Abao is so cute, I want to take him away!"

"Abao, you are so good and polite."

"Yeah, it's not like my fang wolf, it's more like a Husky."

"Stop talking. My blue-eyed cat is not a pet, but a little master. It's too difficult to serve."

"..."

Amidst the laughter and complaints, the bell for morning self-study rang on time.

……

During the afternoon training session, Chen Wen and Li Siyu came to Lu Dong’s office as usual.

There was little point in continuing the pet summoning training, so the two of them prepared to ask Lu Dong how to train next.

After entering the room, Lu Dong raised his head and said, "Sit down for a moment..."

After a moment, he turned his gaze away from the computer and asked, "Are you here to ask about training?"

Chen Wen and Li Siyu both nodded.

"Both of you have raised your pets very well, and have basically tapped into their current maximum potential. Logically, the next step should be to conduct actual combat training to enrich your combat experience, but..."

Chen Wen and the other man's eyes suddenly lit up. Generally speaking, the key point is what comes after "but".

Lu Dong said solemnly: "Chen Wen performed very well last week. The school saw hope in you and decided to give you greater support, so the training plan needs to be changed."

"What support?"

Curiosity flashed in Chen Wen's eyes.

Li Siyu looked at Lu Dong with her eyes wide open.

Lu Dong did not explain to the two immediately, but asked: "Do you know how the skills of pets are divided?"

Chen Wen recalled the contents of the book and said, "It depends on how it is divided. If it is divided by skill power, it should be basic skills, advanced skills, and ultimate skills.

If we look at the skill attributes, they can be divided into physical skills, magic skills, and spiritual skills. Magic skills can be divided into gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder. "

After Chen Wen finished speaking, Li Siyu added: "In addition to what Chen Wen said, we can also classify skills based on whether they are inherited through bloodline. Generally, they are divided into racial skills and non-racial skills."

Chen Wen glanced at her and said, "You make me look stupid like this."

Li Siyu laughed softly.

Watching the two people laughing and joking, Lu Dong couldn't help but feel that the room was a little noisy. "That's enough..."

He took over the conversation and continued, "As Li Siyu said, pets can master skills other than racial skills. Chen Wen, you should be more clear about this."

Chen Wen nodded.

Although Po has no racial skills, it now has four skills in its skill bar: Xingyiquan, elementary meditation, Quanzhen internal energy and Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada.

Lu Dong continued, "There are generally two ways for pets to acquire non-racial skills. The first is through training and learning, which requires the guidance of a famous teacher or a pet skill book."

"Pet skill book?"

Chen Wen muttered to himself, there was no such knowledge in the book.

Lu Dong said: "A pet skill book, as the name suggests, is a book that records the skills of pets. It is a systematic training method summarized by animal masters and breeders after they have studied the principles of pet skills.

Basically, as long as the pet's attributes are suitable, you can train it according to the methods in the pet's skill book to let the pet learn a new skill."

After introducing the pet skill book, Lu Dong sighed, "Unfortunately, most pets are very slow to learn non-racial skills. Even simple skills take one or two years to learn. Therefore, pets are usually taught their own racial skills in advance using pet skill books."

Chen Wen was still wondering why local pets were not taken seriously since skill books existed.

Hearing Lu Dong's sigh, I understood it instantly.

Secret realm pets have racial skills, but they also have their own shackles. It is very difficult to learn non-racial skills.

People have not done enough research on local pets, and directly apply the experience gained from pets in secret realms to local pets. Seeing that local pets have no racial skills, it is natural to look down on local pets.

And their inference may not be inaccurate.

The fact that Po can learn martial arts quickly has little to do with whether or not he is a native pet. What’s more important is that he possesses the talent of “the heart of martial arts”.

Lu Dong then introduced: "The second method to obtain non-racial skills is to devour the magic core..."

The magic core is the energy crystal core in the body of a monster. Generally, only monsters that reach the extraordinary level have the probability of forming a magic core.

By absorbing the magic core of the monster, the pet can improve its spiritual energy and has a chance to obtain the skills possessed by the monster.

Of course, this would only be possible if the pet and the Warcraft were of similar species and had similar attributes.

If the absorbed pet's magic core is from the same type, the pet will grow faster and awaken its skills earlier.

In addition to being absorbed by pets, magic cores can also be used to refine potions, make weapons, and assist pets in leveling up.

With so many functions, magic core is naturally popular and sought after.

But the secret realm is dangerous, the monsters are ferocious, and not every extraordinary monster will give birth to a magic core.

Therefore, the price of magic cores has always been very expensive and remains high.

After listening to Lu Dong's explanation, Chen Wen thought for a moment and said in surprise: "You mean, the school is going to give us pet skill books and magic cores?"

"Yes!"

Lu Dong first answered in the affirmative, then said: "But these rewards are not easy to get. For the main players, the school will provide you with a primary skill book for free, and the other rewards will depend on your performance in the provincial preliminaries."

Upon hearing this, Li Siyu glared at Chen Wen resentfully.

Chen Wen smiled apologetically, then looked at Lu Dong expectantly.

He got five in a row. What kind of reward can he get for such performance?
Lu Dong took out a packaged jade box and said, "Chen Wen performed well this time and demonstrated the excellent beast taming teaching level of No. 1 Middle School. The school specially awarded him a primary earth magic core."

Chen Wen took the box in surprise and opened it. He saw an ochre-colored crystal lying quietly in the box. The small crystal exuded a heavy breath.

This tiny crystal is worth at least fifty or sixty thousand.

Li Siyu glanced at him enviously and said to Chen Wen, "Congratulations!"

"You will all have a chance next time."

After that, Lu Dong said to Li Siyu: "Go back and think about what basic skill book you want. I have something to talk to Chen Wen about."

"Okay, teacher!"

Li Siyu nodded obediently, then stood up and walked out of the office, closing the door.
