Taming Unrational Animals

Episode 9

Two hours later.

Shi Yu left the Iron Bamboo Nursery Base satisfied.

Page six of the index.

[Skills]: Hardening

[Skill Level]: Low

This is a metal skill that can harden the body. The effect was like invisible armor and could evolve into attack power.

[Status]: No Target Set

Shi Yu's copying Hardening process was still very easy and smooth. He had only done one simple thing, which was to feed the iron-eating ferocious beasts.

Unlike the small Iron Eaters who had yet to awaken their hardening abilities, the adults did not bite the Iron Bamboo like bones. They will first use their hardening skills to complement their teeth while eating.

Then, they would eat the Iron Bamboo that was as hard as steel. This way, their eating efficiency would increase by several times, bite by bite.

Shi Yu fed the Metal-eating beast Iron Bamboo and gently caressed it afterward. He thus acquired the skill.

“I won't be back for at least a month.”

Shi Yu, who had become a true Beast Tamer, left the Iron Bamboo Nursery Base.

At this time, in addition to carrying away the iron-eating child, he also carried a bag of premium bamboo shoots. This is Eleven's food for tomorrow.

Unlike the bamboo on Earth, the mutated plants here were still very nutritious. Their nutritional value is not inferior to some meats. Moreover, the digestive organs of those iron-eating beasts were completely different from ordinary giant pandas. Therefore, as long as the bamboo quality is good, the iron-eating beast may not need to eat tens of kilograms a day to replenish its nutrients.

However, no matter what, Iron Bamboo was only the most basic food of an iron-eating beast. There were definitely many more expensive upgrades, but Shi Yu might not be able to provide them for now.

Making money!

After becoming a Beast Tamer, he had to find a way to earn money first.

That was enough for him as long as he did not starve to death. However, if he wanted the iron-eating beast to grow quickly, having all kinds of skills alone was not enough. It should have enough nutrition.

Before that, he had to hurry home and settle down with Eleven.

Food, drinks and accommodation are all very important.

Soon, Shi Yu arrived home.

There were already many tall buildings in Ping Cheng, but Shi Yu's hometown was a large bungalow area.

To Shi Yu, a one-story house was actually better than living in a tall building.

After all, now that he had become a Beast Tamer, it was inconvenient for him to train his pet in a building.

If he lives in one of them, he will have to rent a separate place. It would be troublesome and a waste of money.

On the other hand, even though this place was a bit old, it was empty and would be a very good training ground.

After returning home, Shi Yu casually tossed his luggage. When he realized that the place was covered in dust, he decided to clean it first.

But how can he work alone…?

Panda Eleven, my partner!

The time! Call out!

A transparent circular formation appeared in front of Shi Yu. Under the ripples like water, the Iron Eater Eleven crawled out.

According to the level of the Beast Room, the color of the Spatial Barrier and the summoning array would be different.

For an apprentice beastmaster like Shi Yu, the spatial barrier and summoning array were transparent, almost colorless.

Eleven, who were summoned out of the Beast-Taming Space, looked somewhat lost, as if they had just woken up.

It first shook its body quickly several times, swinging its soft black and white fur. After his entire body relaxed, he began to turn his head to look at Shi Yu, who had called out to him.

Eleven swung her short tail slightly. After being Shi Yu's pet, he was no longer “never a slave” or “fearless” as before. There is a natural sense of closeness between them.

This spiritual connection is even more intimate than that between one's own family.

Eleven involuntarily walked to Shi Yu's side and rubbed her feet, melting Shi Yu's heart.

It seemed ... it became much more obedient!

Shi Yu felt grateful and showed a fatherly smile.

“Come, let me teach you Hardening!”

That's enough to clean it yourself. The iron-eating beast was very cute.

How could he let her get tired? Training is exhausting!

Well, first of all he had to establish his outstanding image in the heart of the Iron Eaters.

“Aduh?” Iron Eater Eleven stood up.

the hardening?

Speaking of…

It stretched out its fist, and in the next second, the fist with black hair immediately became darker and harder, with a layer of metal texture. That's hardening ability.

After sleeping in the Beast-Taming Space, Eleven finally woke her up.

It was really comfortable there. Eleven no longer feel hungry and sleep better. His body was warm, and his head was clearer.

Hardening that could not be awakened before was mastered after sleeping there.

Shi Yu: “?”

Shi Yu: “?”

Shi Yu rubbed his eyes and looked at Eleven's fist.

It's been awakened?

I've just said I'll teach you, but you learned it first?

Shi Yu was silent.

Was that Lin Xiuzhu reliable? Didn't he say that it would take about a week to awaken the Hardening skill? How can it be so fast?

Shi Yu was happy, but his stomach hurt. Thinking that he was looking forward to the look of adoration on the metal-eating beast's face after hardening.

“Come clean page.”

Eleven: o((⊙_⊙))o??

C—Clean?

“Forget, forget.” Seeing Eleven's blank expression, Shi Yu decided to let go.

He was in no hurry to clean up. He suddenly recalled that the Skills Index could teach a skill he had learned.

Teaching him the skills he has learned can improve his skill proficiency!

Skill skills are also very important. For example, if it is a skill where one pet has just mastered it and another pet has used it for 10 years.

It was not impossible for low-level skills with high prowess to destroy high-level skills with low prowess.

Shi Yu discovered the basic beast training manual of the iron-eating beast that Lin Xiuzhu had given him.

Hardening ability .. No, all the skills mastered by Iron Eaters can basically be divided into five stages.

The manual has concluded that skill proficiency can be described in five words.

Learn, Familiarize, Upgrade, Master, and Transform!

They represent early, proficient, expert, perfected, and transcendent.

For example, Eleven's hardening ability is at the beginner stage. It had just learned it and could only harden part of its body.

According to the manual, one could harden their entire body after reaching the level of proficiency.

In general, it takes at least a month of serious training to practice low-level skills from the beginner stage to the advanced stage.

Shi Yu was very curious.

If he used a skill index to teach once, would it be equivalent to a few days of training?

He looked at Eleven, who were observing the surroundings, and thought hard.

By the way, using a skill index to teach seems physically exhausting.

How much stamina is required to teach low-level Hardening skills?

Shi Yu, who had never tried it before, was completely unsure. He seemed a little anxious just now.

What if he died from exhaustion from teaching a low-level skill?

“Why did I not use the most useless skill in the skill guide, Worm Silk, to test its consumption?”

After all, the lower the skill level, the lower the consumption.

Looks like he should try it…

However, it was a pity that Shi Yu had to look for other experimental subjects because the iron-eating beasts and the Worm Silk skill had no match at all and could not be taught.

It's too hard to make Iron Eater spit silk.

“Since you have the Hardening skill, why don't we have you ... fight something for the first time?”

Shi Yu then suddenly looked at the two persimmon trees in his courtyard.

To be exact, he was looking at the green figure on one of the persimmon trees.

A green caterpillar lay on the branch, resting leisurely. It was very brave and was not afraid of being eaten by passing birds.

As a disgrace to the supernatural world, the combat power of the green caterpillar was extremely low. Even if it was not a supernatural being, but an ordinary sparrow that had not undergone any evolution, it had a chance to kill the caterpillar.

At the same time, they can be found everywhere. When Shi Yu saw it, he immediately felt that it was the sole subject of the experiment.

It is clear that the green caterpillar is malnourished. It was thinner than the one raised on the pet base.

Normally, such green silk insects would never be able to evolve. Most of them would be bird food.

I'll give you a chance to improve your mastery of the Silk Skill!

“Take. And be gentle.”

After Shi Yu gave the order, Eleven stared at the green caterpillar and was slightly stunned.

His first opponent was this little fellow?

However, it still had to carry out the orders of the beastmaster. He immediately climbed up the tree and broke the branch where the green caterpillar was standing with a slap. His hardening skills were not even required, and the green caterpillar fell along with the branch.

Autumn surprises the green caterpillars.

“Aduh.”

“We win, we win!” Iron Eater Eleven shouted in joy.

Victory is victory for this first battle, no matter the opponent!

“It's done well!” After all, the iron-eating beast was still a child, so Shi Yu also praised it a little.

Training a pet is the same as raising a child. He should praise and not criticize her all the time.

The green caterpillar went silent.
