Chapter 11 Chapter 11 “Even Beast Beast cannot escape the fate of working…

"What's in front of you?" Songyue asked with a frown.

Jiang Qing thought for two seconds and said, "...Golden Light Shield."

Song Yue: "Is it your spirit beast talent?"

Jiang Qing thought about it and nodded uncertainly: "It seems so."

After a spirit beast forms a contract with a beastmaster, it will awaken an initial beastmaster talent. This power is triggered by the spirit beast and fed back to the beastmaster for use.

However, the awakening time of this initial talent is a bit uncertain.

Some spirit beasts will automatically awaken at the moment of the contract, some may be accidentally triggered by encountering changes along the way, and some may remain silent for a long time.

Songyue felt that Jiang Qing's situation belonged to the second category.

It was a blessing in disguise for her.

"Okay, what happened to you just now?" Song Yue changed the topic and asked. She glanced at Zhao Peng who was lying on the ground. She could tell from his expression that something was wrong.

"Student Zhao Peng was injured in the previous training, and after the high-intensity exercise, his body couldn't bear it and he fainted." Jiang Qing stepped aside to allow Song Yue to see Zhao Peng's full appearance better.

Songyue quickly squatted down and checked his body.

Jiang Qing noticed that the light spots emitted from Song Yue's hands during the examination were the same as those used by the doctor she met in the treatment room.

"Teacher Songyue, are you a teacher in the healing department?" Jiang Qing squatted down beside her and carefully observed Songyue's techniques.

"Yeah." Songyue summoned a palm-sized silver squirrel and nonchalantly answered Jiang Qing's question while treating Zhao Peng. "Combat students tend to lose focus during training, so each class is assigned a healing teacher."

"In addition, Mr. Dafei is an auxiliary professional teacher, and his job is to help you cooperate with each other better," Songyue said.

Jiang Qing nodded in understanding.

"Okay, do me a favor and help him go to the tree over there to rest." Songyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Teacher Songyue, why hasn't he woken up yet?" She remembered that the doctor just took a photo of her and she was fully recovered in an instant.

"My ability is limited, and it will take some time for him to recover." Song Yue generously admitted his own shortcomings.

After dealing with Zhao Peng, Song Yue stood up again. She looked at Jiang Qing seriously and asked, "Has your spirit beast awakened?"

"No." Jiang Qing shook his head regretfully.

Just at that moment, she clearly felt that Zhu Tianba opened his eyes, and the source of her strange ability was also given to her by Zhu Tianba.

But when I look at it again now, the little thing has fallen asleep again.

It was as if the eyes she had just seen were an illusion.

Songyue nodded without going into further details. She thought that this classmate was just lucky and awakened his talent for taming beasts at this time.

Plus, Zhao Peng was also there, so the Iron-Armored Bull didn't use all his strength.

Otherwise, how could Jiang Qing, a rookie at the first level of the human realm, resist an immortal-level spirit beast?

Song Yue's thoughts were also the thoughts of most students in the class. They were originally shocked that Jiang Qing was able to stop the Iron-Armored Bull.

Now think about it, if Zhao Peng's spirit pet did not use its full strength, and its beast taming talent resisted it for a while, and Teacher Songyue arrived in time and controlled the situation, it can be explained.

The training continued, and the incident between Jiang Qing and Zhao Peng did not cause any big waves.

Jiang Qing was left aside again and did not continue to observe other students' practice this time.

She summoned Zhu Tianba out of the contract seal, and seeing its body grow bigger, she was sure that she was not mistaken at that time.

Zhu Tianba did wake up.

But for some reason, it fell asleep again.

Jiang Qing looked at the golden tattoo of a pig totem on his wrist. There was an extra pattern on the outermost blank area.

She tried to open it with her perception, and the pattern slowly emerged, followed by a spiritual consciousness that entered her mind.

It was clearly a purely pictorial pattern, but she could fully understand the meaning of the text contained therein.

[Initial Beast Taming Talent: Defense]

[Skill Name: Golden Light Shield]

[Talent Description: Thin as a cicada's wing, indestructible.]

Skills are abstract things and have no names. It was not until Jiang Qing named them that they became concrete.

This is almost the same as what Zhou Qi told her.

And this shield is invisible to others but only she can see it.

It seems that this little thing is more useful than I thought.

The skill points of the spirit beast are added cumulatively. Every time a talent is added, a new pattern will be added to the outermost circle of the totem on Jiang Qing's wrist.

The person with the most totem patterns known today is Ji Changsu, the principal of their Fifth Beast Taming Academy.

Jiang Qing scratched Zhu Tianba's chin, and it immediately rubbed against him affectionately in its sleep.

The reason why the talent totem was lit up this time was that Zhu Tianba swallowed a large amount of star-patterned orchids, which led to his evolution.

Jiang Qing has been cramming a lot of knowledge on beast taming these past two days. He knows that Star Pattern Orchid is the material for the evolution of high-level spirit beasts. Although it is not a rare material, it is also relatively difficult to find.

Therefore, the selling price of star orchid in the market is usually higher.

If Zhu Tianba wants to evolve or upgrade a second time, she has to collect at least twelve special-grade Star Orchids, or substitute materials with equal energy to the twelve Star Orchids.

Jiang Qing took out Lingtong and searched on the Internet.

There are many ways to obtain Star Pattern Orchid. She can go to a special star-level material store to buy it, or she can post tasks and trade on the Beastmaster Forum.

But the average price of an ordinary star orchid is over 2,000, and the price of a special grade one is as high as 2,500. She has no money to buy it.

So there is only one way left, which is to collect it in the wild yourself.

If she collected other materials along the way, she could sell them to the material shop for a little profit. After a spirit beast evolved, it usually took some time to stabilize, and it was unknown when it would evolve again. So she didn't have to worry about the Star Orchid for now. Maybe she could find a cheaper substitute later, and then she wouldn't have to worry about it.

What’s more important right now is that she only has two hundred yuan left. How is she going to pay for Zhu Tianba’s food for the next week?

As Jiang Qing was thinking, the bell for the end of get out of class rang. The students, who had worked hard all morning, became excited and rushed to the cafeteria.

Li Xiu also sent her a message at this time, asking her if she wanted to have dinner together. Jiang Qing replied "OK" and prepared to go to the agreed place in the Red Mansion.

"Student Jiang Qing."

She heard someone suddenly call her name from behind.

Jiang Qing turned around and saw Meng Yanlang riding an undead rat towards her.

The undead rat looked much more normal now. The snake-like rat brains on both sides of its neck now circled and crossed, quietly stacked together, and it didn't look as scary as before.

"I heard that you were also assigned to the combat department. I came here specially to thank you." Meng Yanlang flipped over and jumped off the undead rat, and put the undead rat into the seal of the contract.

"Thanks to your reminder and help that day, my undead rat was able to recover completely," Meng Yanlang said. "Seeing how well you understood the undead rat's injuries that day, I thought you would be even better at healing."

"I guess so." Jiang Qing said with a blink.

Zhu Tianba is good at combat, but she is actually more suitable for healing.

Meng Yanlang didn't care about the meaning of her words. He invited her warmly: "Classmate Jiang Qing, do you want to go to dinner together? I'll treat you."

"I have another friend..." Jiang Qing was interrupted by Meng Yanlang before he could finish his words.

"It's okay, let's go together. Your friends are my friends." Meng Yanlang patted his chest and said generously.

Jiang Qing thought about it, sent a message to Li Xiu, and after receiving a response, he took Meng Yanlang to find Li Xiu.

Meng Yanlang was very generous and invited the "Spirit Beast Food Street" of the college.

This is a commercial street built with funds from outsiders. It has a prosperous business and gathers all categories of products.

Meng Yanlang took the two of them into a hot pot restaurant. The hot pot restaurant was crowded with people. Almost all the tables from the first floor to the second floor were full, and there were many customers waiting for a table outside the restaurant.

Jiang Qing felt the protest from his stomach and thought that judging from the situation, he would have to wait a long time before he could have lunch.

The next second, the owner of the hot pot restaurant took Meng Yanlang directly into a private room in a small courtyard as soon as he saw them.

"?" Two pairs of eyes looked at Meng Yanlang at the same time.

Meng Yanlang explained with a smile: "This restaurant was invested and built by my uncle, and my family also has some shares in the store, so I usually don't need to queue when I come to eat."

Passing through the corridor, Jiang Qing saw that this store actually had small spirit beasts wearing store employee uniforms serving food to customers.

"!" Jiang Qing was slightly shocked.

True, social animals.

I never thought that in this world even beasts cannot escape the fate of working.

Li Xiu asked bluntly, "This shop has more spirit pets than people. Is it because hiring animal workers is cheaper than hiring human workers?"

"No." Meng Yanlang paused in front of the box door. He smiled politely and said, "The labor costs of those spirit beasts you saw are much more expensive than those of human labor."

"How much?" Li Xiu asked curiously.

Meng Yanlang raised a finger and said, "100 per hour."

"......" Jiang Qing & Li Xiu.

The two of them gasped and spoke almost at the same time: "Are you still hiring animal workers?"

Meng Yanlang tilted his head back and thought for a moment, then answered seriously, "My uncle is usually in charge of everything in the store, but as far as I know, the store has no plans to expand recently."

Jiang Qing and Li Xiu looked at each other and saw the same regret in each other's eyes.

Poverty is their deepest resonance at this moment.

The hourly wage is one hundred yuan, which means eight hundred yuan for eight hours. A day's work by Lingchong is equivalent to half a month's work-study period for them in the college.

Comparing animals to humans is really infuriating.

Fortunately, Meng Yanlang's skill in ordering food quickly dispelled the sadness. The menu flew in his hands, making Jiang Qing and Li Xiu dazzled and secretly shocked.

Meng Yanlang put down the menu, summoned the undead rat, and threw it into the backyard to play alone.

Seeing this, Li Xiu also called out the Snow Melt Rabbit.

Spiritual animals belong to nature, just like pets, and the natural environment can bring them more happiness.

"Where's your pig? Do you want to let it out to play together?" Meng Yanlang was still very interested in Jiang Qing's spirit beast.

Li Xiu also looked at her expectantly.

Jiang Qing thought for a while and released Zhu Tianba. Just at this time, Zhu Tianba also woke up.

"After just one morning's absence, our Zhu Tianba has grown so much." Li Xiu noticed the changes in Zhu Tianba with her sharp eyes. She moved closer to Jiang Qing, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

Has it grown a lot in just one morning?

Meng Yanlang, who was sitting on the other side of the round table, squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Tianba.

It’s really amazing.
