Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 101: Chapter 42 Thoughts on Choosing a New Pet (Seeking Investment and Follow-up Reads)_2

Letting my pet beast help restore my spiritual state to make up for the lack of sleep after traveling to another world seems to perfectly resolve this bug’s weakness, right?

Perhaps I should experiment with it later to see if it indeed works as thought.

The secret bell of Doctor Ye from the Lin Family can repair the spiritual state. I could ask him to give it a try if it proves effective after one attempt, then I definitely need to find a way to contract a beast with similar abilities in the future.

Having such a beast would further enhance my Golden Finger advantage.

Keeping this thought in mind, Lin Su sat up from the bed and began packing his things.

I must leave for Yongnan City soon; I can’t keep the others waiting too long.

…

Traveling at the high speed of the Golden Feathered Vulture, the journey from Qingyun City to Yongnan City did not take long.

Due to Qiuqiu’s injuries not being fully healed, Lin Su planned to let Qiuqiu rest for a day and not challenge the Beast Taming Tower today.

After receiving the Championship rewards from Mu Yuxing, including the Fear Demon Statue’s eye core, Lin Su immediately headed home without hesitation.

Having not returned home overnight—even though he had informed them in advance—his parents were very worried and made Lin Su a splendid feast, inquiring about the details of the Championship.

Upon learning that Lin Su had won first place, his mother wore a smile that never faded, continuously serving Lin Su food, and for a rare change, his father, who was a martial artist and normally abstained from alcohol, also warmly served himself some fine wine to drink.

The family was joyously harmonious. After lunch, Lin Su went back to his room and took two small boxes out from his Space Ring, placing them on the table.

Feeling Qiuqiu’s condition within the Beast Taming Space, Lin Su smiled and summoned him.

Looking curiously around, Qiuqiu, whose vitality had completely recovered, lightly hopped into Lin Su’s arms.

“Mii?” (We’re home?)

“Yes.” Lin Su nodded, grasping Qiuqiu’s injured paw to take a closer look.

Seeing only a shallow scar remaining at the paw, barely noticeable, he finally let out a sigh of relief. “Does the wound still hurt?”

“Mii~(ฅ´ω`)ฅ” (It’s a bit itchy~)

“If it’s itchy, that’s good,” Lin Su laughed. “It means your wound is nearly healed.”

“Enough about that,” he pointed to the two boxes on the table, “The championship’s supernatural resources and the Space Heart have arrived. In two days, we’ll enter the Nirvana Pool.”

“Mii! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ” (Evolution resources!)

Qiuqiu hastily jumped out of Lin Su’s arms and curiously approached the two small boxes, seemingly sensing something, his gaze fixating on one of them.

“It seems you indeed have a certain affinity for evolutionary types,” Lin Su nodded and opened the box that Qiuqiu was staring at.

In the box, a stone eye core lay quietly on silk. Just by glancing at it, Lin Su felt a slight sting in his own mind, swiftly turning his gaze to Qiuqiu beside him.

Looking at the eye core of the Fear Demon Statue, Qiuqiu felt no discomfort but approached with more curiosity.

Lin Su laughed, “For the next two days in the Divine Martial World, you don’t need to train other skills.”

“Mii?” (What do we do then?)

“In two days, once we’re in the Nirvana Pool, you’ll start to evolve,” Lin Su pointed at the eye core. “The other resources don’t matter much, I’ll gather them for you these two days, but this supernatural resource is not your original attribute, so you need to adapt in advance.”

“Mii! Mii?” (Got it! How should I adapt?)

“Keep the eye core close to your chest, enter the ‘Deep Sleep and Dream,’ and absorb the naturally overflowing spirit energy from the eye core,” Lin Su patted Qiuqiu’s head. “Getting familiar with the resource’s energy now will increase the success rate of evolution and enhance the absorption effect.”

After hearing Lin Su’s words, Qiuqiu without hesitation stretched out his small paw, embraced the fist-sized eye core, wrapped it with his body after tucking it against his soft belly, quickly closed his eyes, and entered the state of ‘Deep Sleep and Dream.’

Seeing Qiuqiu eagerly starting, Lin Su laughed and turned his gaze to the other box.

Inside it was another reward from the Championship, the fourth-level resource, Space Heart.

This supernatural resource had the effect of accelerating a Beast Tamer’s meditation, rapidly elevating the tier of the Beast Taming Space.

Opening the box, Lin Su took the diamond-like transparent crystal that refracted colorful brilliance lying quietly inside, and placed it in the palm of his hand. He then closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Just a few minutes later, he opened his eyes in astonishment.

Previously, he had only heard that this supernatural resource could enhance meditation efficiency to a certain extent, the specific amount varying from person to person.

Therefore, he thought that if this resource could double the speed of meditation, it would already be quite impressive.

But now, just a few minutes into the meditation, he felt the terrifying boost that the resource brought.

Six times.

Using the Space Heart to meditate, the efficiency of meditation could reach six times that of normal meditation!

If with normal meditation, Lin Su had no hope of breaking through to the third level of Beast Taming Space before the university entrance assessment, then with six times the speed of meditation, he could almost guarantee that he would elevate the level of Beast Taming Space to third level within a month.

Unfortunately, he could not bring this supernatural resource to Blue Star, and there were no similar supernatural resources on Blue Star; otherwise, with simultaneous meditation on both sides, the speed of upgrading the level of Beast Taming Space could be even faster.

It seemed that he definitely needed to contract a space-based or storage-capable beast in the future, so that he would be able to carry items through his travels, and the advantage of the Golden Finger would be even greater.

Huh?

Why does this sentence sound a bit familiar?

Ah, I remember now.

He seems to have just said this morning that he must contract a beast that can recover mental states…

Remembering when he saw the Golden Feathered Vulture, he also said he must contract a bigger, more impressive beast…

I really am a fickle Beast Tamer, huh~

Lin Su fell into deep thought.

So, are there any beasts that are big, impressive, capable of storage, and can recover mental states?

Forget it, stop dreaming.

He scratched his head, sighing softly.

Impressiveness and such can be put aside for now, as it’s not a necessity at the moment.

However, the abilities to store items and recover mental states are important considerations for him in finding new beasts in the future, as contracting beasts with these abilities would greatly help Lin Su.

For the storage ability, space-based beasts are naturally the first choice, but space-based beasts are basically emperor-class species, and even in the divine martial world, they are very difficult to obtain.

Besides space-based beasts, there are also some beasts that are not space-based but have similar abilities due to their special natural talents; their species ranks are lower, and the difficulty of obtaining them is also reduced.

As for the ability to recover mental states, it’s commonly found in healing type spirit-based beasts. Although Qiuqiu evolved into a spirit-based beast, it wasn’t a healing type and couldn’t handle the task of recovering Lin Su’s mental state; he still needed to contract another beast.

With one ability predominantly from space-based and the other from spirit-based, finding a beast possessing both abilities is as difficult as climbing to heaven. However, contracting two separate beasts, each with one of the abilities, is not difficult.

Glancing at Qiuqiu lying fast asleep on the desk, a hint of a smile crossed Lin Su’s eyes.

What beast to choose next can wait for now, as the most important thing is Qiuqiu’s evolution.

Qiuqiu has already worked so hard, I also need to put in more effort.

Thinking this, Lin Su suppressed other thoughts, clenched the Space Heart in his hand, and began to meditate again.

In the following time, both person and beast spent their time meditating and in Deep Sleep and Dream, until the evening came and Lin Su ended his meditation reluctantly, putting Qiuqiu into the Beast Taming Space and going to sleep.

…

Blue Star.

Woken by the alarm clock, Lin Su rubbed his somewhat sore arms and couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

Last night, the drowsiness had come too suddenly, and Lin Su could only lie down directly on the couch, resulting in a poor sleeping posture and completely numb arms overnight.

But now it seemed that the aftereffects of the previous bug had disappeared.

Checking the time, Lin Su hurriedly washed up and rummaged through the big and small packages he had bought the day before to change into business attire.

Today is the start of the high school breeding achievements competition, and he would be on stage as the representative of Mountain City University.
