Two hours later.

Shi Yu came out of the iron bamboo breeding base with satisfaction.

Illustrated page 6.

[Skill]: Hardening

[Skill level]: Low-level

[Introduction]: Gold skill, can harden the whole body, the effect is like invisible armor, and can also evolve into offensive power.

[Status]: No teaching target yet.

Shi Yu's process of copying the hardening skill was still very easy and smooth. He only did one simple thing, that is, feeding a wild iron beast food.

Unlike the little iron beast that has not yet awakened the hardening ability and chews iron bamboo as bones, the adult iron beast will use the hardening skill to arm its teeth before eating.

Then, he ate the iron bamboo, which was as hard as steel. This way, his eating efficiency could be doubled. He

ate one bamboo at a time, and it was crunchy. Shi Yu fed a bamboo and stroked it gently afterwards. He had acquired the skill.

"I won't have to come back for at least a month."

Shi Yu, who had become a real beast tamer, said after leaving the iron bamboo breeding base.

At this time, in addition to taking away the iron-eating beast cub No. 11, he also carried a backpack of fine bamboo shoots, which was the food for No. 11 tomorrow.

Unlike bamboo on Earth, the mutated plants here are still very nutritious, and their nutritional value is not inferior to some meat. Moreover, the digestive organs of the Iron-eating Beast are completely different from those of ordinary giant pandas, so as long as the bamboo is of good quality, the Iron-eating Beast may not need to eat dozens of kilograms a day to replenish some nutrition.

However, no matter what, Iron-eating Bamboo is only the most basic food for the Iron-eating Beast. There must be many more expensive upgrades, but Shi Yu may not be able to supply them for the time being.

Make money!

After becoming a beast tamer, you must first find a way to make money.

It's easy for me, as long as I don't starve to death. If the iron beast wants to grow quickly, it's not enough to have various skills, and nutrition must keep up.

Before that, I have to hurry back home and settle myself and Eleven.

Food, drink and shelter are all very important.

After a while, Shi Yu arrived home.

Pingcheng already has many high-rise buildings, but Shi Yu's hometown is a large bungalow courtyard.

For Shi Yu, a bungalow is actually better than a high-rise building. After all,

now that he has become a beast tamer, it is not convenient to live in a building to train pets.

Then I have to rent a venue, which is troublesome and a waste of money.

On the contrary, this place, although a little old, but the place is empty, is a good training ground.

After returning home, Shi Yu threw down his luggage and found that the place was full of dust, so he decided to do a big cleanup first.

But how can he do the work alone...

Panda Eleven, my partner!

My turn, summon!

A transparent circular pattern appeared in front of Shi Yu, and under the ripples like water, Iron-eating Beast Eleven crawled out.

Depending on the level of the beast taming space, the color of the space wall and the summoning array will be different.

For an apprentice beast tamer like Shi Yu, the space wall and the summoning array are transparent and tend to be colorless.

At this time, Eleven, who was summoned from the beast taming space, had a confused look in his eyes, as if he had just woken up.

It first shook its body quickly a few times, shook its soft black and white hair, and after it felt much more relaxed, it turned its head to look at Shi Yu who summoned it.

Eleven shook its short tail slightly. It had become Shi Yu's pet, and it was no longer like "Never be a slave!" and "Fearless!" as before. There was a natural sense of intimacy between it and Shi Yu.

This spiritual connection is even closer than the blood connection.

Eleven walked to Shi Yu's side subtly, rubbed his leg, and melted Shi Yu's heart.

It seems... a lot better behaved!

Shi Yu was relieved and smiled like an old father.

"Come, I'll teach you the hardening ability first!"

Cleaning is enough for one person. Iron-eating beast is so cute, how can you let it get tired? Training is already very tiring!

Well, let's establish an excellent image of yourself in Iron-eating beast's mind first.

"Ah?"

Iron-eating beast Eleven stood up. Hardening?

Speaking of it...

it stretched out its fist, and the next second, the fist with black hair immediately became darker, harder, and had a layer of metal texture, which was the hardening ability.

After entering the beast-taming space and taking a nap, Eleven finally woke up.

It was really comfortable there. Eleven felt that he was no longer hungry there, and his sleep was better. His body was warm, and his mind became clearer.

The hardening that he couldn't wake up before was mastered after a nap.

Shi Yu:? ? ?

Shi Yu: ???

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

What!

You awakened by yourself?

I just said I would teach you, but you learned it by yourself in advance?

Shi Yu was silent. Is that Lin Xiuzhu reliable? Didn't he say that it would take about a week for it to awaken the hardening skill?

How come it's so fast?

Shi Yu was happy, but he was upset because he was looking forward to the admiring expression of the iron beast after teaching it to harden.

"Let's clean the yard."

Eleven: o((⊙﹏⊙))o.?

Clean, clean?

"Forget it." Seeing Eleven's blank expression, Shi Yu decided to forget it.

There was no rush to clean up, he suddenly thought that the skill illustrations could be used to teach already learned skills, and teaching repeated skills could increase skill proficiency!

Skill proficiency is also very important. The same skill will have different effects if a pet has just mastered it and another pet has used it for ten years.

It is not impossible for a low-level skill with high proficiency to crush a high-level skill with low proficiency.

Shi Yu found the basic training manual for the Iron-eating Beast that Lin Xiuzhu gave him.

The hardening ability mastered by the Iron-eating Beast, no, or all skills, can basically be divided into five stages of proficiency.

The manual has already summarized it, and skill proficiency can be roughly described in five words.

Know, be familiar, be refined, be unique, and be transformed!

They represent entry level, proficiency, mastery, perfection, and ecstasy respectively.

For example, the proficiency of the hardening ability that Eleven has mastered right now is at the entry level. When you have just learned it, you can only harden a certain part of your body locally.

According to the manual, after reaching the proficiency stage, you can almost harden your entire body.

Generally speaking, it takes at least one month of serious training to practice a low-level skill from the entry level to the proficiency level.

Shi Yu was very curious. If a skill illustration is used to teach once, it can be equivalent to a few days of proficiency.

He looked at Eleven who was observing the surroundings, and then fell into deep thought.

Speaking of which, using the skill illustration to teach seems to consume physical energy.

How much physical energy will be consumed to teach a low-level skill hardening once?

Shi Yu, who had never tried it before, was really unsure. He seemed a little impatient just now. What if he was exhausted to death by teaching a low-level skill?

"Why not use the worst levelless skill in the skill illustration, Silkworm, to test the consumption?"

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

It seems worth a try...

But unfortunately, Shi Yu can only find another experimental object, because the Iron-eating Beast and the Silkworm skill are not compatible at all, so it is impossible to teach.

It is too difficult for the Iron-eating Beast to spit silk.

"Since you have already learned the skill, why not... let's have our first battle."

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

To be precise, he looked at a green figure on a persimmon tree.

A green sponge caterpillar was lying on a branch, taking a leisurely rest. It was so brave that it was not afraid of being eaten by passing birds.

As a disgrace to the supernatural world, the green sponge caterpillar has an impressive fighting power. Even ordinary sparrows that are not supernatural creatures and are ordinary spirits that have not undergone any evolution have a chance to kill it.

At the same time, it can be seen everywhere. When Shi Yu saw it, he immediately felt that it was the only experimental subject.

This green sponge caterpillar was malnourished at first glance, and was thinner than the ones raised in the pet base.

Generally, such green sponge caterpillars basically cannot evolve to immortality... Most of them degenerate into food for birds... But it was lucky to meet Shi Yu.

Here's a chance for you to get proficiency in Silkworm Skills for free!

"Iron Beast, take it down, be gentle."

Shi Yu gave the order, Eleven looked at the Spongeworm and was slightly stunned.

The first opponent in the battle is this little guy?

However, the beastmaster's order must be carried out. It immediately climbed up the tree and slapped the branch where the Spongeworm was waiting. All the skills were useless, and the Spongeworm fell down along with the branch.

This fall immediately made the Spongeworm a little confused.

"Ah."

Win, win, the Iron Beast Eleven on the tree shouted very happily.

First battle, just having hands will do.

"Beautiful!" After all, Ironmon is just a child, so Shiyu also praised it a little.

Raising a pet is like raising a child, you need to praise it more and not criticize it all the time.

Green Caterpillar: ???
