Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 298 Fifth-Order Beast Tamer

"Phew~ This level of performance is barely enough."

Bai Qi opened his eyes, looked at the caterpillar fungus in front of him who was looking at him with admiration, and said, "However, the realism and depth of the dream still need to be polished. Keep up the good work."

"Rest assured, hero, I will do my best."

Cordyceps nodded confidently.

After several days of special training from Bai Qi, Cordyceps gained a completely new understanding of dream creation, especially after seeing Bai Qi's bizarre and wonderful dreams, which amazed her greatly.

No wonder he could train four powerful pets; his brain circuitry is completely different from that of the humans he accidentally affected when he fused with the cordyceps.

He truly deserves to be called a hero!

Seeing the cordyceps in this state, Bai Qi was very satisfied.

Just as he had initially hoped, the Cordyceps dream not only saved him a lot of time, but also greatly increased his mental strength.

In comparison, the Dream Potion is somewhat lacking.

"Tsk, such great results, why doesn't anyone think to take advantage of it and make a virtual reality game? What's that saying again? Growing through entertainment, wouldn't it be great to improve your mental strength while playing games?"

Feeling the abundant spiritual power within his soul, Bai Qi grinned, then sat cross-legged on the spot and mobilized his spiritual power to surge towards the Evolution Egg.

After accumulating experience for over a month, and with the acceleration from the Cordyceps Dream these past few days, he can finally step into the fifth-tier Beast Tamer realm.

Alpha and the other three pets, who also noticed Bai Qi's change, stopped their training and gathered around him.

Crackling!

(Is the boss finally going to level up?!)

As the first pet in the team to reach the fourth-tier limit, Alpha was just waiting for Bai Qi's progress. Now that it can continue to improve, it is naturally very happy.

If I can reach the fifth rank, I should be able to force out more of the North Wind Eagle's strength, right?

Huh?

(How come human mental strength is increasing so fast? It's almost one-thousandth the effect of mine.)

"It should be the effect of Epsilon's dream, since the dream vine can promote the improvement of mental power. However, not many beast tamers can withstand this method."

Shuke glanced at the cordyceps beside him. According to data released by the Federation, although the Dream Potion could enhance the mental strength of Beast Tamers, it actually had significant side effects.

Besides being addictive, excessive dreams can also be a significant burden on a beast tamer's body, especially their brain.

In other words, Bai Qi's dream potions were all purchased internally by the association. If they were available on the market, they would absolutely not be able to be taken as sleeping pills like before.

Click-clack?

(Will this be bad for your health? Then Gamma needs to study cooking even harder to nourish her master.)

Bubbling.

(From a biological point of view, that is indeed the case, but the master's physical strength is much stronger than that of an average beast tamer, so there should be no problem.)

Just as the four pets were discussing Bai Qi's condition, Bai Qi's consciousness had already sunk into the consciousness space.

As Bai Qi continuously poured in his spiritual power, the golden eggshell on the surface of the Evolution Egg gradually peeled off and slowly flowed into the crystal wall of the Beast Taming Space.

Looking at the increasingly shimmering crystal walls around him, Bai Qi could sense the strength of his beast-taming space's crystal walls even though he couldn't touch them.

According to the teacher, after a Beast Tamer reaches the seventh rank, they need to build their own Secret Realm Tower to connect their Beast Taming Space to the crystal wall of the main world. The difficulty of this is self-evident. Some fragile Beast Taming Spaces may not be able to withstand the erosion of the spacetime storm and will be directly shattered.

Each evolution of the Evolution Egg strengthens his Beast Taming Space, so when he becomes a legend, he shouldn't have to worry about this problem anymore.

Soon, all the golden eggshells surrounding the Evolution Egg fell off, and dazzling rays of light instantly covered the entire Beast Taming Space.

When the light faded, the vast beast-taming space turned white-gold, and in the center of the space was a giant egg that was entirely white-gold.

"I knew it..."

Bai Qi smacked his lips, showing no surprise at the new appearance of the Evolution Egg.

[Name]: Evolution Egg (Platinum 0%)

Status: Activated

……

"Judging from this, it really looks like they're going to get a King Egg, but why does it feel like the Beastmaster's level isn't high enough?"

Bai Qi murmured a few words, his consciousness arriving before the Platinum Egg.

Compared to the golden egg, the patterns on the platinum egg are more complex, and when viewed from a distance, they seem to be outlining some kind of pattern.

Perhaps, when he becomes a legend, he will learn the secret of the Evolutionary Egg.

"Let me see what new abilities the Evolution Egg has gained."

Bai Qi placed his hand on the Evolution Egg, and a message immediately flooded his mind. After reading the message, Bai Qi couldn't help but smile.

"This ability is a perfect match for the skill encyclopedia."

Bai Qi released his hand from the Evolution Egg, looking at the cheat code that had been holding him back for several years with increasing satisfaction.

Although we can't temporarily boost our strength during battle, we can still maximize our combat power before the battle even begins.

"Being prepared is always better than being caught off guard"—that's the idea behind it.

After confirming that the Evolution Egg had no further intentions, Bai Qi's consciousness left the Beast Taming Space and returned to his body.

"Hmm, everyone's here?"

Looking at the four pets sitting around him, Bai Qi smiled faintly, glanced at the fifth curse mark that appeared on the back of his left hand, but did not rush to contract the insect grass. Instead, he took out the green dragon scale from his chest and slowly gathered his spiritual power on it.

[Material Name]: Green Dragon Scales

[Material Grade]: Legendary

[Material Description]: Scales from a legendary green dragon, capable of slowly absorbing the surrounding natural energy to replenish itself.

[Material Effects]: Can obtain: 1. Emerald Power (Super Skill - ?%), 2. Dragon Scale (Advanced Skill - ?%), 3. Nature's Affinity (Talent - ?%), 4. Dragon Blood (Enhancement - ?%)

Feeling the potential effects of the green dragon scales in his mind, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.

If the skill illustrations obtained from the Golden Egg freed him from worrying about the subsequent improvement of skills, then this material illustration completely freed him from the fate of being a gambler.

No matter what resources you obtain, as long as you check the effects of the material before using it, you can roughly determine the skills you might acquire. This is simply a godsend for raising pets.

After all, as the strength of his pets continued to improve, he could no longer use materials haphazardly as before. The compatibility of materials and the probability of acquiring skills needed to be carefully considered.

"But what's the meaning of the question mark before that percentage?"

After a moment's thought, Bai Qi placed the green dragon scale in Alpha's hand, and the information displayed in the material encyclopedia suddenly changed.

【材料效果】：可获得：1.翡翠之力（超级技能-11%）、2.龙鳞（高级技能-47%）、3.自然亲和（高级技能-8%）、4、龙血（强化-？34%）

Does the probability of occurrence depend on the specific pet? Yes, it does. If the same material is used on pets with different attributes, it would be problematic if the probability were the same.

Bai Qi then handed the green dragon scales to the other pets one by one, and the results were basically the same as he had estimated.

The probability of these four effects is basically the same for huskies, since this breed doesn't have many attribute biases.

Gamma, on the other hand, has a high degree of affinity with nature, but almost none of the others.

As for Delta, it is 100% dragon blood. However, there's an additional note: the effect cannot be maintained for long.

"So, it's just you left."

Bai Qi handed the green dragon scale to Cordyceps, and his eyes lit up when he saw the data on it.

[Material Name]: Green Dragon Scales

[Material Grade]: Legendary

[Material Description]: Scales from a legendary green dragon, capable of slowly absorbing the surrounding natural energy to replenish itself.

【材料效果】：可获得：1.翡翠之力（超级技能-76%）、2.龙鳞（高级技能-6%）、3.自然亲和（高级技能-18%）、4、龙血（强化-100%）

[Note]: The target of this application is the Dream Eater Vine. If the level is too low, the absorption effect will be greatly reduced.

Unlike the other four pets, the probability of obtaining Dragon Blood is calculated separately from the other skills. In other words, as long as you use Green Dragon Scale on Cordyceps, you will definitely get the Dragon Blood enhancement.

"Nicholas seemed to have mentioned that the Green Dragon uses the power of nature. Since Epsilon is half plant-based, does that mean there's an additional bonus?"

Bai Qi stroked his chin, roughly guessing the reason, and then noticed the additional notes that followed.

"As expected, a low level will affect the absorption effect. It was the right decision to have Delta postpone the absorption of the space crystal."

This note was not unexpected for Bai Qi. The higher the level of the pet, the stronger its absorption and utilization of resources. That makes sense.

"Perfect, this takes care of Epsilon's basic welfare."

Bai Qi chuckled, put the green dragon scales away again, then his expression turned serious, and he said, "I have extra contract slots now. I'll ask you one last time: are you willing to be my pet beast?"

"I am honored that you think highly of me, and I am naturally willing to accept."

Seeing Bai Qi's sincere expression, Cordyceps nodded repeatedly, and you could even see his afterimage.

They've already given him a name, he's enjoying all the perks, and there are four pet beasts eyeing him like hawks. How could he possibly say he didn't want to?

Cordyceps is certain that if he dares to say no, he might be caught, sliced ​​up, and used to make soup.

"Alright, relax and don't resist the contract."

Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this, activated the runes on the back of his hand, and two purple rune arrays enveloped the cordyceps, one above the other, and teleported it into the Beast Taming Space.

At the same time, Bai Qi felt a warmth spread through his body and soul, and his mental and physical strength were enhanced once again.

Contract complete!
