Taming Unrational Animals

Episode 4

After imagining the future, Shi Yu was pulled back into the real world. Other than feeding the Snow Wolf, he had many other tasks to do, and these tasks would keep him busy throughout the morning.

It was not until noon that he was free, but the afternoon was still clearly arranged.

After lunch and lunch break, the apprentices in Shi Yu's dorm building had the same mission in the afternoon.

They have actually been doing this job for quite some time.

That's what was written in the previous worksheet: Record the green worm growth data…

In the afternoon.

Shi Yu did not stand out as he followed the large group into the forest filled with Green Silk Worms.

The forest was lush and therefore difficult to pass through.

Green silk insects are the most common pets here. At Icefield City's pet base, there were only 50 Snow Wolves, but there were thousands of green silk insects.

They can basically be described with four words: they are very numerous.

Their strength is also very weak. Compared to Snow Wolves who could continuously awaken four racial skills during their growth period, these green worms only had one skill.

Moreover, Worm Silk was a skill that produced something that could only be compared to steel wire only if used perfectly.

Beast Tamers split the abilities possessed by extraordinary beings into different levels according to their strength and effect. From low to super, they are categorized as following — skills without level, low level skills, middle level skills, high level skills, super level skills …

For example, the Worm-ruled Silk skill could not even be considered a low-level skill. It has no level at all.

Hence, it could be said that it was extremely pitiful for the Green Silk Worm to be classified as a low-level transcendent. After all, green silk worms could not even defeat most ordinary animals. They are only rated better because of their potential to evolve.

However, according to different cultivation methods, there are many uses of silkworms from green silk caterpillars.

However, pet breeding bases do not raise green silk insects to produce worm silk.

The reason why they keep such weak pets is because the green silk insect is one of the few pets in nature that can evolve naturally once.

After absorbing enough nutrients, they could evolve into Wind Crystal Butterflies and have a chance to awaken another species skill called Wind Blade, which would increase their combat power.

Although their species rank is still classified as low-level transcendent due to their lifespan after evolution, the Wind Crystal Butterfly is one of the easiest worm-type pets to raise. It was the optimal choice for most ordinary Beast Tamers.

Furthermore, Shi Yu and the others' task was to record and observe the growing conditions of the green silk caterpillars and determine when they would successfully evolve.

Compared to the Snow Wolf, the green worm was much less dangerous. After all, it was only the size of a palm.

It had a green hairy body, plain eyes, and two yellow antennas on its head. It was very similar to the larvae of the Citrus Phoenix Butterfly on Earth.

After getting to know them personally, Shi Yu finally understood why they were known as the weakest pets in the pet world…

Due to the silk produced by the green silkworm that had not been trained. Shi Yu was able to break it with a gentle pull…

During the observation process, Shi Yu's hand was wrapped in worm silk.

Compared to the Snow Wolf, the green silk worm was less intelligent. Shi Yu was not adept at telepathy, so communication between the two parties was not very good, causing the green silk worms to fight back.

But this resistance .. is too harmless.

However, this was not what made him the most silent.

What made Shi Yu speechless was that the stone index in his mind showed that a high level of mental type Prevention skill could actually be taught to green worms!

A green worm with the talent of a king???

Is this so-called compatibility standard weak?

The way Shi Yu saw the green worm changed.

From the looks of it, the Skills Index was not simple. After all, the Green Silk Worm was known to be the lowest level pet that could not learn any skills other than the Silk Worm before evolution…

As Shi Yu lamented the situation, the green worm slipped out of his hand, and the index changed once more.

At this moment, he flipped to the second page.

This time, a new image of a green worm has been added.

There's still a stack of text below.

[Skills]: Silk Worm

This is an insect skill. May be useful when used in extreme.

[Status]: No Target Set

Shi Yu: “?”

What's with this note? It's exactly what I thought!

Forget it, forget it... Did he just copy and record the insect silk skill?

He seemed to have fulfilled those three conditions.

Currently, the skill index has managed to record a second useless skill. Silk worm. After all, this skill looked extremely useless.

Oh, wait.Skills that are so weak can be used as experiments to test the stamina consumption of teaching a skill.

During the rest of the afternoon, everyone observed and recorded the green worms. Shi Yu also observed and recorded, but he actually had one more task, which was to continue studying the skill index in his mind.

The only valuable discovery was that he could actually teach the green silk worm that had learned the Worm Sutra skill!

They have already mastered these skills but can still be taught!

Shi Yu studied it for a moment. The feedback from the skills index is that repeating a skill can improve skill proficiency!

He understood, but unfortunately, Shi Yu did not dare to experiment here …

…

Till night.

After dinner, Shi Yu returned to the dormitory.

After returning, he took out the manual and started searching.

This is not an evaluation guide, but another book.

The manual records 51 pets raised on a pet breeding base in Icefield City and the skills of their species.

Shi Yu was trying to pick a target to achieve the skill from secretly.

He planned to see if there were any skills suitable for his Bespoke Eaters to learn.

Skills cannot just appear in a skill guide. He had to find a way to record his own new skills.

However, as long as a rare skill was successfully recorded, the skill guide would not be invincible.

Which Beast Tamer had ever nurtured a green worm that could use prevention skills?

For now, Shi Yu considered the skill index to be the second Taming Beast Talent. With this talent, the next goal is easy to predict.

He had to find a way to emulate his higher level skills and save it to train his pet after he became a Beast Tamer…

Unfortunately, after seeing the 51 pets at the breeding base through the manual, Shi Yu did not find the perception skills he was looking for…

The skill that young pets might raise here is a relatively basic low-level skill. They are very common and not worth copying.

Of course, the more skills he accumulated, the better. Better get ready.

However, after replicating the Worm Silk skill, Shi Yu suddenly thought of a problem.

Is there a limit to the number of skills that can be recorded in the skill guide?

Shi Yu did not dare to waste his page count before knowing the upper limit of this record. It is better to focus on middle and high level skills first.

“Looks like I can only change target.”

In fact, the place where Shi Yu was at the moment, the pet breeding base in Icefield City, not only had a large number of wild pets but also many Beast Tamers…

Their pet skills could also be copied by him, such as the prevention of the Snow Wolf King.

The chances of a Beast Tamer pet mastering a rare skill were much higher than the pet cubs raised here…

Thinking of this, Shi Yu pondered for a moment.. He had a bold idea.
