You call this beast taming?

Pingjiang Training Base.

Wen Zhixu slowly opened his eyes after finishing his meditation.

"Two ounces."

Throw out the last fire-type energy block.

"Awoo!"

Having just completed his basic training, Erliang leaped up and precisely caught the energy cube.

Two liang: (๑´ڡ`๑)

After eating the energy cube, physical strength is quickly restored.

Next came skills training. It looked at Wen Zhixu, waiting for instructions.

Wen Zhixu fell into thought.

Now, Erliang has learned a total of five skills: Morning Light (proficient), Fire Fang (mastered), Thick Fur (proficient), Headbutt (beginner), and Super Smell (beginner).

I have six "Mastery Seeds" in my hand: four white, one green, and one blue.

He had already used a white-quality "Mastery Seed" on Erliang before, which was applied to the "Headbutt" skill.

However, the "Headbutt" skill has not yet reached the proficiency level.

Based on the state of the two ounces and his guess, the following conclusions can be drawn:

To upgrade a skill from beginner to proficient, a low-level skill requires one point, while a mid-level skill requires two points.

Therefore, with another white-quality "Mastery Seed", the "Headbutt" skill should be able to reach the proficiency level.

With two more pills, "super sense of smell" should be achievable.

As for the "Master Seeds" with green quality, after some thought, he felt that he should first improve the "Thick Skin".

On the one hand, it is because the training of the "Morning Light" skill is simpler and has lower requirements compared to "Heavy Fur".

On the other hand, it was because Erliang had too much energy after acquiring the "Rainbow Feathers" that Wen Zhixu felt his body was about to give out.

As for the most important blue-quality "Mastery Seed," there aren't many other options.

He was just unsure.

Can a blue-quality "Master Seed" really raise the proficiency of "Fire Fang" from Master to Master?

One more thing...

What changes would occur if a pet in the later stages of mutation truly mastered a master-level skill?

After a brief moment of thought, Wen Zhixu said:

"First, train your 'super sense of smell'."

Last night, the skill "Super Smell" combined with Erliang's innate olfactory talent had an effect that far exceeded expectations.

in particular.

The last bit of his sense of smell actually helped the bluebird beast tamer pinpoint the location of the powerful ghost-attribute extraordinary creature he was fighting.

Given the current situation where it's unknown how many ghostly supernatural creatures are lurking in the city, enhancing Erliang's sense of smell will not only provide greater assistance in capture missions, but also increase the possibility of self-protection and early detection of crises.

Also.

Wen Zhixu also wanted to verify one more thing...

"bring it on."

Using a white-quality "Master Seed", take out the remaining "Wind Crystals" and conduct enhancement training according to the "Super Smell" skill manual.

Pour out one-fifth of the "Wind Crystal" and place it on the table.

Unlike when she first learned "super sense of smell", now Erliang needs to actively use her nose to absorb the airflow generated by "wind crystal" in order to feel the changes in airflow and wind.

One hour.

The duration of the white-quality "Master Seed" is one hour.

"Waaah~"

As soon as training began, Erliang felt...

Ah Xu has added another "status" to himself!

Sneaky...

Is it the kind of pet that likes to reap without sowing?

Since I can't refuse...

No, we must work even harder!

I'm sucking and sucking—

We must turn all the frustration from last night into motivation for training!

After half an hour.

Wen Zhixu's expression changed.

He clenched his fist.

As it turns out, his guess was correct!

Training items and "Mastery Seeds" can be stacked!

"Mastery Seed" is an item similar to a double or multiple experience card. It can only work if the pet itself is diligently training.

During the duration of "Mastery Seed", the pet gains proficiency from each training session equals the proficiency gained from several normal training sessions.

So Wen Zhixu began to think.

If that's the case, then when pets use auxiliary items like "Wind Crystals" for training, doesn't that mean... one "Wind Crystal" is doing multiple things?

Now, his conjecture has been proven true.

Of course.

If it's something like an energy block, quicksand fruit, or animal bone, which is simply used to eat to restore status or improve energy and stats, then it can't overlap with "Mastery Seed".

However, this answer gave Wen Zhixu a clearer direction when he bought things for Erliang later.

After all, he has limited funds right now.

If possible, he would also like to buy an item that can help him practice "Fire Fang", so that the effect of using "Mastery Seed" will undoubtedly be better.

It's just unknown how long the blue-quality "Mastery Seed" lasts.

You should choose a day with relatively ample time to use it, to avoid wasting it.

...

With a gaunt face, Wen Zhixu dragged his weary body out of the training room step by step.

Erliang walked ahead with his head held high, looking very energetic. When he encountered someone he knew, he greeted them with great enthusiasm.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was training like crazy in the training room...

"Senior Brother Wen."

"Brother Xu~"

The news that Yang Pingjiang had accepted Wen Zhixu as a student had already spread throughout the training base.

Although many people secretly complained about his good luck and called him a poor kid from the slums, ordinary students would greet him politely when they met him.

Wen Zhixu was already used to this.

Jealousy can distort a person, but fortunately, he was the one being envied.

"Ah Xu!" Not long after he left the training room, Yuan Jingfan, looking excited, approached him.

"So...you've found someone?"

Wen Zhixu had never seen Yuan Jingfan so excited before; his fists were clenched tightly.

"What?" Yuan Jingfan was stunned upon hearing this.

"It's alright, it's good that you're not sick," Wen Zhixu waved his hand and said.

Yuan Jingfan didn't pay attention to what he said, his excitement unchanged, and said, "Ah Xu, I'm going to choose my initial pet, can you help me decide!"

Ok?

Is Yuan Datou finally going to choose his initial pet?

I wonder if his family can afford it...

Seemingly sensing his friend's concern, Yuan Jingfan quickly explained:

"There are two, both provided by the base. As a student, and given our relationship, you can give me a significant discount."

"Tell me about it."

"One is a mid-level extraordinary electric rat, with early-stage mutation strength; the other is a racially... "

As Yuan Jingfan was speaking, Wen Zhixu immediately said:

"Electric mouse!"

"Huh?"

"With your intelligent appearance and discerning eyes, it's immediately clear that an electric mouse, a clever and agile pet, is a perfect match for you!"

"Is...is that so?"
