Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 147 Swallowing Dark Gold Equipment (Subscribe~)

Back in Inder City, Su Ming sent Xidi to the police station.

The lives of an entire village were involved, so the people at the Yinde Police Station did not dare to handle it and handed it over to the court of justice...

The Inquisition is the one that judges red-named players. It is an institution that combines theocracy and political power.

After it was handed in, they immediately brought people to investigate.

Su Ming also received the task of taking them to investigate the scene, so he spent some time taking them on a walk in the dungeon.

After collecting the evidence, Xidi was taken away.

Through this event, Su Ming gained 5000 points of reputation in Ende City and 1 point of world reputation.

Basically all the special stores in Yinde City are open to Su Ming.

After dealing with Xidi's affairs, Su Ming went to the Beast Tamer Guild to hand in the task.

After reaching 5000 reputation points, there will be many more "transparent" tasks on the commission wall, which can only be seen by players with high reputation.

In short, there are a lot of reputations and a lot of benefits.

It is also for this reason that some players choose to stay in a city for a long time and continue to accumulate their reputation in a certain city, which is also beneficial to their development.

Of course, there are also many players who will run around like Su Ming, so that they can come into contact with more NPCs, and the rewards they get may not be less than the above-mentioned gameplay.

Zaemon almost monopolized the experience of Akane's father, a golden BOSS, and the red commissioned missions also gave a lot of experience. After completing the missions, Zaemon was promoted back to level 25.

Su Ming's second transfer mission was also completed.

System: After a long adventure, you have comprehended part of the true meaning of a tamer and advanced to a listener. Your spiritual attribute grows by +2, and you have comprehended the skills "Listen to the Voice of All Things" and "Heart of the Strong".

Listen to the Sound of Everything (LV1):
Passive: Tamers can listen to the voices of all creatures. +1 pet, +20% favorability, +100% acumen, -50% threat value (hatred) judgment.

Active: The Tamer increases the maximum health of all pets by 50%, movement speed by 40%, attack speed by 40%, skill damage by 40%, and makes the pets ignore control for 10 seconds. Cost: 1000 mana. Cooldown: 4 hours.

After the second transformation, only one decisive battle skill is given, and it costs 2 skill points to learn it.

Upgrading this skill also costs two skill points. The remaining skill points from the previous level come in handy here. Some players use up all their skill points in the early stages and can only spend time (at the rate of 1 point per half a day) doing tasks to restore their skill points, or wait until level 27 to learn it.

The passive effect of the Tamer's decisive battle skill is very poor compared to other professions. The added attributes are of little help in combat and are all functional attributes.

20% favorability gain - convenient for catching pets.

+100% Agility - To prevent thieves, a tamer after the second transformation is basically unlikely to be approached by thieves by sneaking up on him.

Some people on the forum also said that the keen attribute can sometimes act as a material detector. When you occasionally pass by high-level but inconspicuous materials, it seems to remind you, similar to the NPC's ability to sense magic.
-
50% threat value judgment: The Tamer is less likely to be attacked by monsters.

The only thing that can hold up the scene is the attribute of pet number +1. After the second transformation, the tamer can have three pets, which is a great advantage when fighting against others.

Although the passive effect is weak, the final battle skill is very powerful. Players call the second skill of the tamer "mad dog mode"...

No matter which profession you are in, if you encounter a tamer in mad dog mode, you basically have to avoid it. Unless you can kill the tamer instantly, you won't be able to defeat him by force.

Heart of the Strong (LV1): Your level will not drop below level 25.

The Heart of the Strong is a universal skill. Every player will obtain this skill after completing the job change, which makes it convenient for everyone to PK. Otherwise, if others have awakening skills and you don’t, you will not be able to fight at all.

"Xiao Hei and Zuoemon are both melee pets. I should catch a pet with long-range attack to make the transition." Su Ming has been playing the game for so long that he also knows some skills of a tamer.

For example, catching pets.

Others are not like Su Ming, who can catch a pet and use it from the Novice Village to the Second Level or even continue to use it...

Most animal trainers will constantly change their pets during the upgrade process, and they will capture pets that are 5 or 6 levels higher than their own level. This way, the captured pets have a high initial level, and not too much experience needs to be allocated to the pets.

Once your own level has been raised, you can find higher-level monsters to capture, and continue this cycle of leveling up. It is rare to find a pet like Scar Pig that can reach more than ten levels in one go.

Su Ming wanted to imitate these people for his third pet. When he met a powerful pet like Xiao Hei and Zuo Weimen who was willing to follow him, it would not be too late to change it.

Su Ming was about to leave the Beast Tamer Guild to buy dark gold equipment for Xiao Hei when he ran into the guild president who had returned.

"Young Listener, I have heard your story. You are famous in Inder City. I never thought that a little girl like that would massacre an entire village... You must have listened to the whispers of her evil heart."

Many NPCs in Yinde City will now say similar words to Su Ming, and they are all polite remarks.

However, Su Ming thought that since the other party was the president of the Tamers Guild, he should have more information about pets. With his reputation, he might be able to get some useful information.

This is also a form of using reputation.

"President, thank you for your praise. I have just become a listener and I am still short of a pet. I would like to ask you, what ranged attack pets are suitable for me?"

"Long-range attack?" The president touched his chin, thought for a while, and replied, "The elemental creatures in the Element Mountains are quite suitable for you listeners who have just advanced. Go and give it a try. Remember to bring the corresponding elemental gems to increase the success rate of capturing them."

Su Ming was delighted. He didn't expect that he would actually ask the question. It's good to have a high reputation.

After thanking the president, Su Ming summoned Xiao Hei and took it to a place where no one would disturb it to eat equipment.

The wolf claw was swallowed by Xiao Hei in one gulp and gradually decomposed into light spots.

It takes 20 minutes to devour the dark gold equipment.

While waiting, Su Ming sent the properties of the blood gem to Venus and asked:

"Sister Venus, I have two gems like this and I want to exchange them for three gems of similar value that can be used in a headdress. Do you have any recommendations?"

Su Ming is not short of money now, so he plans to barter and improve himself. He is still short of 3 gems for his Zerg Crown.

Venus received the gem attributes and was secretly surprised. How come the good things from spore brother kept coming out...

"Brother Spore, wait for me for a moment. I'll go ask the merchants."

Venus posted the blood gem in the merchant group, asking if there was a headdress gem of the same value that could be used by a tamer or magic profession. After a while, the group was filled with screenshots of various gems...

Finally, someone privately chatted with Venus and sent her a gold gem with "+3% pet damage", a total of 3 gems, but he said that he wanted extra money, 5k gold coins.

Venus thought it was worth it.

This kind of gem that directly increases damage is indeed slightly more valuable than the two gems sent by Su Ming.

However, since the gem holes in the headdress are difficult to hit, the value goes down after repeating it. If it weren't for the headdress, this person might not have exchanged three damage-increasing gems for these two blood gems.

Venus asked Su Ming, and after Su Ming agreed, she asked Su Ming to pass the gem to her and she went to trade.

"By the way, brother Spore, I have a mission and need a dance partner. Can you help me tonight?" Venus asked.

"Okay." Su Ming agreed immediately.

In comparison, the help Venus gave Su Ming was much greater than the help Su Ming gave Venus. Venus had finally asked Su Ming to help her, so Su Ming naturally would not refuse.

After 20 minutes, the progress bar was full.

System: Your pet Xiao Hei devoured a piece of dark gold equipment, increasing its health and magic points by 2000 points, its armor and magic resistance by 100 points, and gaining the skill "devour".

System: Your pet Xiao Hei devoured a piece of dark gold equipment and condensed 1 "Intermediate Energy Crystal".

The appearance of intermediate energy crystals is similar to that of low-level energy crystals, both are small golden cubes, but intermediate energy crystals are more transparent and have a touch of flickering color inside.

Intermediate Energy Crystal: After consumption, increase 1 skill point.

Su Ming had guessed that Xiao Hei would also condense energy crystals after devouring the dark gold equipment. He originally thought that it would only increase more attributes, but he did not expect that it would directly increase skill points.

In the game, what is more valuable than attributes is undoubtedly skill points, which are precious attributes that can only be obtained once per level.

"Xiao Hei is only level 25, but he can devour three pieces of dark gold and bring me three skill points. When his level is increased, won't he be able to bring me more than ten or twenty skill points?"

Su Ming began to imagine a scene in which he would max out all his skills with the skill points brought by Xiao Hei.

"So, which skills should I choose with the extra skill points?" Su Ming pondered in his mind.

Since skills after level 15 are based on level points, the only skills you can choose from are those before level 15.

Among them, Scolding and Pet Food are the two skills that Su Ming would like to activate during use.

As the level of Scolding increases, it can scare away higher level monsters; pet food can help pets live longer, especially pets other than Xiao Hei.

However, considering the low growth rate of pet food (1%), Su Ming finally chose the scolding skill.

Although the BOSS has resistance, scolding is not only used to fight monsters, it is also very useful when PKing with players.

Xiao Hei doubled his hands twice, jumped into Su Ming's arms, and said happily:

"Master, I have become stronger again."

Su Ming lowered his hands and said with a smile:

"Hei, you seem to have gained weight. But you haven't grown much bigger."

"Hehe, it seems to be because of the new skills."

Su Ming checked Xiao Hei's new skills.

Devour (LV1):
Passive: Every time Xiao Hei devours a piece of equipment, his armor and magic resistance increase by 0.3%. The current bonus is: 18%.

Active: Xiao Hei teleports to a target within 5 yards and devours the target for 3 seconds. The devoured target cannot move or cast spells, and takes (500 + 15% of Xiao Hei's maximum HP) magic damage per second, and Xiao Hei recovers the same amount of damage.

If the target cannot be swallowed, it will immediately cause (1500 + 25% of Xiao Hei's maximum health) magic damage.

Cost: 200 mana. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

After Xiao Hei ate the dark gold equipment, his health was 19900 points, and the panel damage of this skill reached 10455 points.

However, with a cooling time of up to 10 minutes, it may not be very practical when dealing with monsters. But when dealing with players, especially long-range output, it is basically crippled after swallowing and spitting out. Those with poor equipment may be killed instantly by Xiao Hei.

Moreover, Xiao Hei is given a short-distance displacement effect, so he can swallow people by surprise.

This can be considered Xiao Hei's decisive battle skill.

The passive effect of swallowing may be the reason why Xiao Hei's weight increased. The volume remains the same, the density increases, and the mass increases...

Afterwards, Su Ming passed the blood gem to Venus.

After receiving three red gems that increased pet damage, Su Ming found a jeweler and inlaid the gems on the crown of the Zerg, and then went back to the vicinity of "Bariti Town" to kill monsters.

He planned to complete the half-finished task first, and then go to the "Eliment Mountains" to capture the third pet.
