Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

Tan Wan explained as she walked:

"It's not that some things don't come out early, but usually they're forced out by accidentally triggering resources."

As you know, the key only works if you take it off and hold it for 3 seconds or stick it to the pet egg. They didn't even have time to grab the pet egg before the rules handed them over.

Hmm? What's going on with this?

Suddenly realizing she had been making some assumptions… Tan Wan paused, then continued:

"The rest of them basically wait until the end, especially those looking for pet eggs, and those going in to see the scenery and learn about rare resources."

After all, there's no danger in the secret realm, so there's no need to rush for such a short time.

Lin Su listened and nodded, quickly putting away her down jacket and spraying herself with cleaning spray before speaking:

"I used my key to come out on my own. Has no one ever come out on their own before?"

Tan Wanxin said, "As expected."

She leaned against the tree and smiled, looking rather languid.

"Some do arrive early, but at most they arrive an hour or two early. This is the first time I've arrived more than five hours early like you have arrived."

"Look, I'm the only one on duty right now. But when the secret place closes, we'll have 10 people come to register everyone. Over 90% of the people are waiting to come out together when it closes."

After Tan Wan finished speaking, she couldn't help but steal a glance at the backpack next to the girl. She really wanted to, but she knew she shouldn't.

It's a Snow Dream Beast that seems to be of the fire attribute; if there's no doubt it's the only one of its kind on the entire planet...

Lin Su had already finished packing.

Noticing Tan Wan's gaze, she stepped forward with her backpack and asked:

"Sister, when I used the key to check the pet egg just now, it got a little hot. Could you take a look at it for me?"

Tan Wan immediately straightened up:

"Sure, sure! I studied animal husbandry."

She didn't rush to take the backpack, but instead pushed down the edge of the backpack to observe the part of the pet egg that was exposed outside the backpack, and then reached out to touch it to check its temperature.

"It seems fine. The heat you mentioned might not be caused by the pet egg."

As Tan Wan spoke, she proactively pulled up the fabric of her backpack and covered the pet egg. After thinking for a moment, she said seriously:

"If you use the key to get out beforehand, the key itself will get hot; it actually goes through a very brief burning process."

You came out by sticking the key to the pet egg, so you probably didn't notice and thought it was the temperature of the pet egg.

Of course, if you're still worried, you can go back to the Beast Taming Center or have a breeder check it with equipment after you leave.

Lin Su said "Oh," and then asked curiously, "Will the key sticking to the pet egg cause any problems later?"

Tan Wan paused for a moment.

She wasn't quite sure about that. There were already few people who would come out early, let alone someone who insisted on coming out in such a ceremonial way...

"I have a senior in college."

Tan Wan hesitated before speaking:

"He took a little fire crow egg and wanted to make a contract with it himself. He put the key on the pet egg and it came out almost 2 hours early."

He said the eggshell was a little ash-covered, and then the ash disappeared on its own. Later, his talent was tested and found to be A-level, so he immediately formed a contract with it.

Everything's fine now, so it shouldn't have any impact.

Lin Su's eyes widened.

Tan Wan knew it sounded a bit like nonsense, but said, "His own research group can do genetic testing, so it should be true."

"Is it like this during the day too?" Lin Su asked.

Tan Wan shook her head and said:

"No, under normal circumstances, the Realm Within a Realm opens close to 1 a.m., and those who come out early are basically at night in the secret place."

You started ahead of schedule this time.

"Okay, thank you, sister."

Lin Su had no further questions this time. She held her backpack in front of her, thanked him politely, and said goodbye.

"Then I'll be going now."

"Okay, okay."

Tan Wan watched as the girl gave Huan Yuehu a look and pointed in a direction, and the two of them disappeared from the spot.

The novice pet can teleport, and its proficiency is so high that it can carry people without making contact. Moreover, this is a fairy-type pet...

This little genius is terrifying; she now finds even the most illogical things to be reasonable...

Tan Wan silently sat back on her little stool, turned around to rest her head on the table for a while, and noticed that there were two bags of potato chips next to the tablet.

Oh, that's too formal!

The girl immediately burst into laughter.

But she couldn't refuse their hospitality, and since it was late in the afternoon, she decided to eat something first and maybe catch up on her TV show...

-----------------

Lin Su did not stop on the road.

Ahri's spatial teleportation skill was at the level of mastery when she arrived, but has now reached the level of minor mastery.

It took about 9 hours to get here, including food and drinks. Now it will only take 5 hours to get back to the entrance of the passage. I might as well wait until I get out and then book a room at the guesthouse to rest.

As for the issue of associated stones...

Lin Su lowered her eyes and glanced at the Snow Dream Beast egg she was holding. So many clues were enough for her to make a guess, even if it wasn't necessarily correct.

Based on what the Flaming Lion said, it suggested that it take the initiative to use the key to leave the secret place, and immediately at that, so as to give her a benefit.

Are there any benefits to voluntarily leaving the secret location?

Obviously yes.

She went out 5 hours earlier during the day and obtained a companion stone that can improve her pet's talent.

The senior student went out two hours early at night, and the pet egg was covered in soot. He then formed a contract with a little fire crow with an A-level talent.

Both companion stones and ash smoke enhance talents, the difference lies in the timing of their appearance, and obviously, the earlier they appear, the better.

Why didn't anyone notice this before?

Since no one knew about the existence of companion stones, they naturally wouldn't have thought that black smoke might improve a pet's talent.

Assuming she has amnesia now, if she gets a puff of smoke after coming out, she certainly won't associate it with her talent, since everyone who came out early would have their cards burn.

If she got a stone, she would just think that she was incredibly lucky, and that this pet egg might be some kind of lucky egg that she should treat as a treasure.

In addition, she was able to get it because she came out early after listening to the Flaming Lion's advice. Her gratitude might make her think, "Maybe I should just make a contract with it myself." Even if she doesn't make a contract, she will definitely treat it well.

Thus, the benefits of the Flaming Lion were indeed delivered, and her goal of protecting the eggs was achieved.

The logic then becomes clear.

First, after you actively use the key to leave the secret area, the key will be burned.

Secondly, if the key is placed next to the pet egg, the smoke produced after it burns will enter the pet egg, directly improving the pet's talent, just like the companion stone.

Finally, if it emerges early enough, such as during the daytime, the smoke will condense into a companion stone instead of being directly absorbed by the pet egg.

This "gift" was clearly not something the Flaming Lion had specially prepared for its pet egg; it was something that already existed in the secret realm itself.

So the next question is...
