Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

On the desktop.

The pet egg was covered with fine, milky-white lines. These lines, forming a complete spiritual rune pathway, emitted a faint light, covering the eggshell like a thin veil.

The original contrast of red, white and silver is no longer strong, and even the transition is softer, adding a hazy and dreamlike beauty under the light.

"Click—"

Lin Su was very satisfied and took a picture of her first work as a memento, and then turned the camera to silent mode.

It makes a sound every time, ruining the atmosphere.

After their master beast tamer confirmed that he had finished writing, the two little ones who had been watching closely quickly came over and curiously examined the pet egg that had changed somewhat.

"Isn't it pretty? This is called a spirit pattern," Lin Su said with a smile.

"Ghost!"

Xiao Ying nodded vigorously, her two long leaves transforming into delicate claws that cupped her face. Her bright eyes gazed at Lin Su, and she gave a sweet, coquettish call:

"Ghost~"

It wants it too!

"Okay," Lin Su replied with a smile, "I can do it once I've learned it."

Obviously, she doesn't know how yet...

Spirit runes sound like ordinary drawing, but in practice, you'll find it's not like that at all.

Besides the need for a stable output of mental energy, different spirit pattern materials, the attributes and size of the pet will all affect the final product's effect.

That's why the course starts by teaching how to draw spirit patterns on pet eggs.

If the shapes are regular and the sizes are consistent, the resulting effects will also be relatively uniform. You just need to follow the example carefully.

Drawing on pets is much more difficult. Even the details of the spirit patterns need to be adjusted proportionally to the pet's size, not to mention things like fur...

Anyway, she failed the assessment for the spirit rune course that enhances local defense these past two days.

Each time, a supernatural creature would randomly appear for her to draw, and she had to draw three in a row for it to work. Heaven knows how she felt when she finally finished drawing a giant whale elephant and then saw that the second one was actually a flying ant. That feeling was truly indescribable.

It's that feeling of helplessness—knowing full well that you're likely going to fail the course, but still having to complete the assignments diligently.

Exceptional skills invariably require persistent practice. Although she is far from being exceptional, there's no use in being anxious. It has nothing to do with brains; it just requires pure practice.

"Ghost!"

Upon hearing the reply, Xiaoying immediately let out a happy cry, stretched out her two paws, and began to spin in the air, completely unaware that she might have to wait a long time.

"Huanhuan?"

Ahri also chirped curiously, asking what the purpose of drawing the spirit runes was.

"Different patterns serve different purposes."

As Lin Su tidied up the materials on the table, she explained, "For example, it can enhance defense, increase attack power, improve comprehension when learning skills, and increase the speed of energy absorption..."

The little fox nodded thoughtfully and called out:

"Huanhuan".

It wants that too.

It still remembers the two skills its beast tamer wanted it to learn, which it still hasn't mastered.

"Once I've learned it, I'll let you all try it."

Lin Su said that she would put the brushes and small buckets that needed rinsing into the sink for the time being, put the pet egg back into her backpack, and then said:

"Shall we go get some cake?"

She also needs to buy a device to protect the egg.

Putting pet eggs directly in your backpack isn't particularly safe, as the fabric can easily rub off the spirit runes. One or two rubs won't remove them, but repeated rubbings will affect the runes' durability, and you'll have to reapply them if they become ineffective.

"Ghost!"

Yay! Time for cake!

Xiaoying immediately raised her arms in response and was the first to float to the door.

After watching the TV series, it now recognizes a lot of food, and this time it can choose what it wants without the beast tamer's introduction.

"We used spatial teleportation to get there."

Lin Su waved for it to come back, then asked, "Ah Li, do you remember the shop where we bought the cake before entering the secret realm?"

It's very close to the guesthouse; there's a pet supplies store on the same street, and the food there is decent.

"Huanhuan~"

Ahri nodded and called out, a blue light flashing in her eyes. Then, she disappeared from the spot with her beast tamer and the returning flower.

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

13:36 PM.

On the table are the pet eggs, which have been stored away by a sturdy device, and a multi-flavored cream cookie.

Xiaoying wandered around the room with her milk tea in her arms, occasionally picking up a cookie and throwing it into her mouth, her cheeks bulging out.

Ahri was dozing off on her beast tamer's lap, her tail drooping lazily, occasionally twitching for no apparent reason.

Lin Su leaned back in her chair, petting the fox while sending two messages to Fu Qingpu.

【Team Leader Fu, thank you so much for the spot in the secret realm. I've made a contract with the Ghost Flower.】

Regarding the Mysterious Moon Realm, Illusionary Moon Fox has already mastered the Crescent Moon Prayer skill to perfection. Is there anything else I need to prepare before going to the realm?

According to Fu Yuchen, his regular time to play on his phone is after meals. If Fu Qingpu happens to be home and free, he will probably see the message soon. If he doesn't reply, it means he is busy.

Then she can prepare for the other party to reply to her message no later than a week later, and just go to the opening location of the secret realm to wait.

The Crescent Prayer at the Perfect stage can instantly replenish energy. Although a beginner pet cannot instantly restore 1/4 of the energy of a king-level pet, it is still quite a lot, saving a lot of money on energy recovery fluid.

I don't believe the other party won't include her...

Lin Su placed her phone on the table and casually turned on her computer, searching for well-known physical pharmacy supply stores in the capital city that also had live online customer service representatives.

These stores have real sales staff; they don't engage in deceptive sales tactics by claiming the product is out of stock. At most, they might say they don't have the product in stock.

Instead of waiting for news, why not ask first?

Hello, do you sell materials like Lapis Lazuli and Coral? If so, I can come to the store tomorrow or the day after to discuss it in detail.

After copying and pasting the question to customer service of 12 companies, Lin Su temporarily stopped and then opened the web pages of each company in the order of her inquiries to see their replies.

Sorry, not currently.

[Our S-level and above resources are only available for members to reserve. Would you be willing to disclose more details...?]

Sorry, you can try asking elsewhere.

【Hello, are you a pharmacist? You can bring your pharmacist level badge to the shop. If there is a genuine need, we can post relevant tasks to find you.】

Lin Su checked the pages, closing the ones she didn't need and adding more details about the ones she did need...

My phone suddenly vibrated.

Lin Su left the only inquiry page she hadn't replied to yet, then skillfully switched her network to the central area network before picking up her phone to check the messages.

Fu Qingpu: ...

Lin Su: "???"

She thought the other party would simply reply with "no" along with the meeting time and place, or give her a list of things she needed to bring herself.

What happened? A string of ellipses appeared.

Did she say something incomprehensible? What's there to be speechless about?
