Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 16 Leaving the Village
After asking the thunderbird, Su Ming took the ring on the ground. The python was of no use to him, so he just kept it and let it become fertilizer for the soil. Maybe when the thunderbird saw that Su Ming did not want the python, it would take it back and eat it.

The ring is a level 10 silver equipment, which is just right for Su Ming to use.

Pure Silver Ring (LV10, Silver):

+150 health, +150 mana

+20 Constitution, +20 Spirit.

Durability: 28/30
Occupational requirements: None.

It increases life and magic, and is not very suitable equipment for a tamer, but there is no better choice, and it is better to have it than nothing.

At noon, the sun is shining brightly.

Su Ming left the woods. A dazzling light made him squint his eyes. He walked closer and saw that it was a pink diamond the size of a pigeon egg.

Rhodes's Test Pink Diamond: The pink diamond that Rhodes used to test the tamers was very valuable.

"Is this... a pink diamond?" Su Ming was a little confused, not knowing why a pink diamond appeared on the dirt road.

Su Ming picked up the pink diamond and held it under the sunlight to examine it. The cut surface of the pink diamond emitted a charming glow that easily aroused greed.

There were indeed players who tried to sell their pink diamonds and then switch to a different job, but they were killed by Rhodes at two levels and their proceeds from selling the diamonds were confiscated.

Su Ming was not greedy. He was just confused. The pink diamond was too clean, without any dust on it. It seemed as if someone had placed it there specially.

Su Ming put the pink diamond into his backpack and went to Rhodes' house.

"Teacher Rhodes, I'm back."

"Well, you're pretty quick. Did you bring the pink diamond back?" Rhodes asked knowingly, because he was the one who sneaked over and placed the pink diamond on the ground.

"I brought it back." Su Ming took out the pink diamond and said, "But I didn't take it from the tree. I picked it up on the road."

"Nonsense, I put the pink diamond on the tree myself, how did you pick it up on the roadside?" Rhodes was unwilling to admit that he made a mistake at work, even if no one knew about it.

For players, this is not the first time that this has happened to Rhodes. Although the number of times is rare, other people have encountered it and posted their experiences on the forum. The discussion is not very hot and only a few posts can be found.

Rhodes will deny his mistakes, and as long as the player does not continue to refute, he will quickly help you complete the job transfer and let you leave. If you continue to refute.

For example, like now——

Rhodes waved his hand and said:

"Alright, alright, it might have been blown away by the wind. Don't worry about it. I'll give you a token for your job transfer."

Su Ming continued to ask in a "ignorant" manner:

"Do you believe that I picked up the pink diamond on the road?"

This seemed to emphasize Rhode's mistake. Rhode said angrily:

"Stupid, what matters is the result, not the process."

"I know, I just told you that I picked it up from the ground..." Su Ming touched his head. Rhodes looked a little angry, and he didn't know why.

"Okay, okay, since you value the process so much, just go and do the task again. But I'm tired today, so you need to do it tomorrow."

This is the second stage. Players who encounter the same situation as Su Ming have not entered the stage that Su Ming is in now.

Su Ming felt a little aggrieved when he was suddenly asked to redo the task, and his tone became more serious:

"Okay! I'll do it again. However, if you still put it on the tree, I hope you can use glue or something to fix it. Don't call it an assessment, but the result is just like a child playing house."

Su Ming put the pink diamond on the table and left.

Rhode's beard was crooked with anger. He glared and said:

"You don't need to teach me how to do anything!"

There is a level lock in the Novice Village. Su Ming is already level 10, but he cannot level up, so he goes to the Snake Cave to continue collecting moonlight grass. At night, he buys a batch of materials from Paison and continues to make primary magic potions.

The next day, Su Ming found Rhodes.

Rhodes thought about it all night and realized his mistake. When he saw Su Ming, he changed his tough attitude yesterday, explained the real situation yesterday to Su Ming, apologized, and said:
"I hope you can forgive me."

"So that's how it is. As long as you tell the truth about this kind of thing, no one will blame you." Su Ming felt that Rhodes was a bit like a child. This might be the old naughty boy.

"Then, do I need to climb the tree again to prove myself?" Su Ming asked again.

"No need. Actually, I saw your performance yesterday remotely through the crystal ball. Otherwise, I would not have been able to place the pink diamond so accurately on the road you passed. You and your slime pet cooperate very well. You are an excellent trainer."

Rhodes took out a wooden whistle and handed it to Su Ming.

Tamer's Whistle: Proof of the Tamer's profession.

"This is your certificate of becoming a tamer. With it, you can leave the village." Rhodes said, "As a tamer, the most important thing is to listen. You have to listen to people, animals, plants, and even the sounds of the mountains and the sea. This will determine whether you can continue on this path."

System: You have completed the job transfer mission "Tamer's Assessment", and the level 10 skill "Coordinated Attack" has been unlocked. Now you can learn more skills.

Coordinated Attack (LV1): The tamer and the pet are close and work together to cause more damage.

Passive: Pet Slot +1. After the Tamer deals damage to the target, the target will be marked. Within 5 seconds, when the pet attacks the marked target, additional magic damage (10 + 1% of the target's current health) will be added.

Active: The tamer strengthens the mark, and the pet clears the mark after attacking, and causes (30 + 8% of the target's current health) magic damage. Cost: None. Cooldown: 15 seconds.

This level 10 skill is automatically given by the system after completing the job change. There is no need to learn it. It is considered one of the signs of job change. Each profession will unlock a skill that has both passive and active skills after completing the level 10 job change task.

"I'm very sorry for wasting half a day of your time. This is my research on coordinated attacks over the years. Take a look at it, it should be helpful to you." Rhodes took out a worn notebook and handed it to Su Ming.

Coordinated Offensive Research Notes: After reading, the coordinated attack level is increased by 1, and no skill points are consumed.

A level one skill was given, which was pretty good, so Su Ming used it directly.

The passive damage becomes 20+2% of the current health, and the active damage becomes 50+10% of the current health, which is a significant improvement.

At present, Su Ming does not know how precious these consumables that increase skill levels are.

Players can increase their skills to level 10 at most through skill points. After level 10, if they want to improve, they can only rely on external objects, such as equipment, such as the research notes that Su Ming has now obtained.

Equipment may be replaced at any time, but research notes are permanently added and are more valuable.

Afterwards, Su Ming said goodbye to Rhodes and came to the teleportation array in the village.

The teleportation array detected that Su Ming was carrying a whistle and activated automatically.

System: Preparing for random teleportation. The teleported town will be your main town. You will get 10% monster experience bonus near the main town. The town you are about to go to is called Thornroot.

I wish you a happy game.
