Taming Unrational Animals

Episode 16's

**Year 177 of the Alliance calendar, July 7.

It had been three and a half months since Shi Yu had come to this world. It had also been four days since he became a Beast Tamer.

On the first day, Shi Yu's contract pet, the Iron-Eating Beast Eleven, awakened his Hardening skill and welcomed his first victory, defeating the beast with the largest population, the silkworm.

The next day, Shi Yu used the Skill Duplication Book to raise his Eleven Hardening Skills to an advanced level.

On the third day, Eleven practiced as usual, improving her hardening ability every day.

On the fourth day, the Iron-Eating Beast reached Level 4 and learned an Intermediate Level healing skill. Then, it started training “fall” …

Falling exercises are a good way to practice. If the steel plate at the landing point is not broken, it means the hardening force of the Eleven is not enough, and it can continue the training.

If the steel plate breaks, it means the training has paid off. At that time, there was no need to worry about the broken steel plate being wasted as it could still be fed to the iron-eating beasts.

At that time, he should have the ability to eat and digest metallic matter.

Therefore, Shi Yu not only bought training equipment, but he also bought Eleven's spare food. This cost-to-effect ratio was truly too high.

On the fifth and sixth days, Shi Yu began to recover and recover from the weakness caused by teaching healing skills.

In the last two days, the appetite Eleven doubled again. The frequent use of both skills made him consume a lot of food, and rely more on the nutrients in his food than the Beast Taming Space.

On the seventh day, a week after becoming a Beast Tamer, Shi Yu was surprised to learn that using the Skill Index affected more than just stamina. There are also hidden benefits.

As long as he had sufficient nutrition, every time he recovered, his physique would slightly increase, such as how consumption from using an index was equivalent to consumption from exercising.

This discovery suddenly made Shi Yu feel that there was nothing wrong with frequently teaching the skill to enter a weakened state. After all, the body was the capital to control a savage beast.

On the same day, Shi Yu used the skill index again and taught Eleven the Hardening skill again.

After this lesson, the Hardening proficiency did not reach the expert level. However, compared to before, Eleven was indeed better at Hardening.

Currently, it was already proficient in various countries. It can simultaneously harden several parts of the body without affecting its movement.

But still, it wasn't enough, and the minor improvements made Eleven very uneasy. Therefore, he practiced harder, and a clear mark appeared on the alloy steel plate.

On the eighth day, Shi Yu recovered.

On the ninth day, Shi Yu continued to teach the Eleven Hardening skill. This time, Eleven's hardening skill ability finally reached the expert level.

Being at the expert level of Hardening Skills, the Iron-Eating Beast could use it to fight without affecting its movements!

After his skill proficiency increased, Eleven's growth level increased again, and reached Level 5.

Iron-Eating Beast: ·°(৹waste_ ⁇ ৹)°· ⁇ I'm really not cheating!

The unease in Eleven's heart grew stronger even as the marks on the alloy steel plate deepened.

“If it is to a proficient level of hardening, the iron-eating beast needs to train hard for a month under superior training conditions.

“In this case, expert level hardening skills will require iron-eating beasts to train hard for one year under superior training conditions.”

If they trained hard, it would be best if they did not sleep at all.

—No, normal Iron-Eating Beasts do not train as hard as this.

Now, they only used a week to accomplish this.

Training hard and not sleeping, it is an extreme routine. Beasts had not trained so hard from the start. However, in the courtyard, Shi Yu, who was leaning against a chair, analyzed Eleven's growth. He felt being a professional Beast Tamer was a very stable thing.

Both he and Eleven had bright futures ahead of them.

On the 10th day, he rested.

Following which, Shi Yu did not use skill books to continuously improve the abilities of the Eleven Hardening Skills.

From beginner to advanced, one “leson” is enough. From adept to expert, it seems to require two lessons... Then, from expert to perfect?

A sign of the Perfect Level Proficiency of Hardening Skills is “Aliran”.

The Expert Level Hardening could already harden the entire body of the Iron-Eating Beast, while Perfect Level Hardening could make the hardened area flow like liquid on the body of the Iron-Eating Beast, while the Perfect Level Hardening could make the hardened area flow like liquid on the body of the Iron-Eating Beast, overlay it to form a stronger effect.

As they needed to defend, the hardening would flow into the defense section, creating the thickest armor and receiving the lightest attacks.

In essence, it is an increase in the efficiency of the use of force. It could concentrate all of its power at one point to pursue extreme output and defense.

The enhanced level was already the pinnacle of skill prowess for ordinary pets. It would definitely require more teaching, but Shi Yu planned to experiment with the Green Silk Worm first. After all, the cooldown time for teaching silkworms was relatively short.

Furthermore, he had nurtured this green silk insect for 10 days. He had decided to cultivate the worm silk, but he had not taken action.

On the 11th day, Shi Yu lowered the birdcage from the tree. The green silkworm inside felt that something needed to be done, so it calmly turned around and changed its lying position.

If it was the time when Shi Yu had just caught up to him, it would still have some resistance. But now, after listening to Eleven's voice and the steel plates colliding daily, he had no resistance at all.

Besides, there's no need to do anything now. Every day, Shi Yu would put food in the birdcage.

Where else would these insects find the perfect living environment?

Moreover, Shi Yu had used this low IQ green silk caterpillar to practice telepathy for the past 10 days. He understood that Shi Yu had no enmity and was extremely obedient.

On this day, Shi Yu once again taught the green silk insect. After teaching it, the silkworm underwent a third resurrection transformation, reaching the third resurrection level.

However, the Worm Silk skill should remain at the advanced level.

On the 12th day, Shi Yu began teaching the green silk caterpillar for the third time. As expected, he underwent a fourth awakening transformation, reaching Level 4.

The growth rate of insect-type pets is indeed fast.

At the same time, the power of the worm silk also underwent a qualitative change. At this moment, his strength was already comparable to a fishing line. Furthermore, when the green silk caterpillar used that skill, he could be as agile as human hands and feet.

For example, using worm silk to tie flower knots was no longer a difficult task for the Green Silk Worms of today. Clearly, the skill of the green silkworm has gone from being proficient to being an expert.

As someone who has watched hundreds of Conan 1 episodes, he understands that this means that silkworms are starting to become a threat.

However, the threat is limited. The reason is very simple. The Green Silk Worm was too weak. Adults who use fishing rods as tools are completely different from palm-sized worms that use fishing rods.

However, it cannot be denied that the quality of green silk caterpillar silk today is very good. In general, even if it was the Green Silk Worm that would pupate, its silk abilities were rare at this level.

As long as the proficiency of this silkworm thread follows its growth rate, it turns into a butterfly by almost 100%.

At that time, not only could he sell worm silk, he could also sell the crystal powder of the Wind Crystal Butterfly…

If the worm silk achieved perfect proficiency before the cocoon transformation, or even higher, its evolution would be even more miraculous.

According to different cultivation methods, there might even be special evolutions.

For a total of 12 days, the teaching of the two pets allowed Shi Yu to confirm the effects of the skill book.

If the pet does not master a certain skill beforehand, after the first lesson, the pet will master the skill at an initial level proficiency.

In the second lesson, the initial level is upgraded to the advanced level.

After the fourth lesson, the level of proficiency will be increased to become an expert.

And Shi Yu intended to do so at once. He wanted to see how many times he needed to teach in order to improve his proficiency to the Refined level.

However, before that, they had been locked away at home for too long. Shi Yu planned to engage in an actual battle.

Eleven, who had mastered Expert Level Hardening and reached Level 5 after a difficult week of training, should have completed this round of training perfectly. His combat ability cannot be underestimated.

Time to test the results.

Shi Yu opened the birdcage, and the green silk caterpillar crawled in on its own as it was much safer inside than outside. At least, there is no need to worry about being bird food.

After resting for an entire morning, Shi Yu shouted calling the metal-eating little beast in practice.

“Eleven, stop training in the afternoon. Have a good rest and eat more. We'll go to war later!”

“Wuu?”

Eleven: Battle?!

The young and weak metal-eating little beast hugged the steel plate and knocked on it. Instantly, his blood boils**.
