MTL - After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master

 Chapter 5 The first skill: Health Detection

 The school has equipment specifically designed to detect animal control levels. Chen Xing took the beast master to check it out privately the day before yesterday. The little saltwater crocodile only had a pitiful energy level of 1, and the newbie in the world of beast masters was only a little higher than the energy level 0 of the newborn.

 In fact, the methods for quickly breaking through energy levels are all in books and are taught in junior high school courses.

 Giving the animal a substance that is rich in energy and easy to absorb can quickly promote the growth of the animal. Nutritional medicine is undoubtedly the most cost-effective option. But even the cheapest general nutritional medicine costs money, a thousand yuan a bottle.

 The most talked about topics among other students in the classroom were the monthly exams and their experiences in cultivating saltwater crocodiles.

 In the past few days, the friend circles of elementary school, junior high school and high school classmates were basically all flooded by the beast.

 Cute photos of the cubs are posted on WeChat Moments.

But it’s only for these few months. After a while, the number of photos will decrease sharply. Because cubs of any race are good-looking, but many of them are hard to describe when they grow up.

 After today’s class, Chen Xing went home from school early.

 Sister has not come back. Training camps like this usually stay in the wild for three to four days.

　　Take out the black box from the bedroom, open the lid and look at the custom-made saltwater crocodile reagent placed inside.

 As soon as I took out the reagent and unscrewed the cap, the little Taotie smelled the fragrance and crawled over.

 “Aoao!” He looked at the master pitifully with his big eyes.

 “Open your mouth.” Chen Xing opened Taotie’s mouth with his fingers and poured all the nutritional reagent in.

“I fed the beast once, the intimacy value is higher than 90, and I obtained skill point fragments*2.”

Chen Xing's hand shook, and he almost didn't spill the last bit of nutritional reagent. His eyes lit up, and he discovered two important points. One was that Taotie's intimacy value became higher, and the other was that the higher the intimacy value, the more skill point fragments he obtained. many.

However, the rapid increase in the intimacy value of the little Taotie is not unexpected. At that time, the school distributed an egg that was about to mature and break. It also gave them two days off to let them stay at home to hatch the beast by hand. Although the crocodile that broke out of the shell was They won’t recognize the first person they see as their parents, but they will definitely develop a great dependence on them.

 The first life I saw when I broke out of the shell, plus carrying it with me everywhere, it only took half a month to increase the intimacy value to over 90 points, which is reasonable.

Since the skill point fragments obtained from feeding have increased, the gains from training should also increase, right?

 But Chen Xing soon discovered that the dizzy Taotie was not suitable for training.

After drinking his sister's reagent, Taotie was spinning around in circles as if he had drunk fake wine, his head chasing his own tail to bite him, but he couldn't catch up. Finally, he became anxious and jumped suddenly, biting the air with his teeth. .

This is the first time Chen Xing has seen a crocodile jump!

The four short legs just spread forward and jumped.

 It jumped quite far, a full ten centimeters.

Chen Xing touched Taotie, and it was hot all over. The temperature was nearly ten degrees higher than usual, and it was very hot.

In the evening, after dinner, Liu Yuzhen was cleaning up the pots and pans in the kitchen when her back pain suddenly broke out and the bowl she was scrubbing accidentally dropped to the ground.

Hearing the crisp sound of the kitchen bowl hitting the floor, Chen Xing hurriedly came out of the bedroom and found his mother hunched over using a broom to clean the debris on the floor.

He hurried over and said, "Mom, go and have a rest. I'll wash the dishes."

 “Don’t make trouble, just go and study quickly.”

Noticing that his mother's face was thin due to overwork, Chen Xing, who was a little depressed, said smoothly: "I've finished my homework. You can go and sit for a while. It won't take much effort to wash the dishes."

Empty the bowl fragments in the dustpan into the trash can. Liu Yuzhen looked at Chen Xing, who had already taken over the washing of the dishes, and hesitated to speak, but the pain in her waist made her hesitate and did not continue.

He held his waist and sat down on the stool in the restaurant. While looking at Chen Xing's back, he sighed secretly.

Chen Guohai, who was sitting on the sofa, put down the newspaper in his hand and said to his wife Liu Yuzhen: "I'll cook dinner tomorrow." "The doctor said you can't go into the kitchen. You will easily faint if you are a little tired, so don't make trouble at this time. "Liu Yuzhen refused forcefully.

 Chen Guohai, who wanted to do something but was rejected again, fell silent.

 He could only continue to pick up the newspaper and read it, even though he had read it seven times today.

 After washing the dishes, Chen Xing swept the floor of the house before returning to his bedroom. Looking at the dizzy Taotie lying on the table, Chen Xing secretly thought that he had made a mistake. He probably wouldn't be able to train today.

At 11:30 p.m., Chen Xing, who was woken up by the alarm clock, got up from the bed on time, and then shook Taotie awake from his sleep.

 After three hours of sleep, Taotie's state was significantly relieved. He was woken up with a confused look on his face, and then accompanied Chen Xing for a ten-minute training session.

 After getting the two skill fragments as a reward for today's daily training, Chen Xing lay down on the bed contentedly, with 7 skill fragments left.

Taotie, who lay back on the pillow and was covered with a quilt, stared at the ceiling in high spirits. His little head was full of confusion. Who am I? Where am I? Am I not sleeping?

Outside the window, the bright silver moonlight shone on the bedside. After being dazed for a while, the little Taotie closed his eyes and fell asleep.

 A dreamless night.

 The next day, Chen Xing came to school. There were still thirteen days before the countdown to the first monthly exam.

 Taotie was taken out from his pocket. Compared with yesterday, Taotie seemed a little bigger today. Chen Xing, who was holding him, could clearly feel that the weight of Taotie in his hand had increased a lot.

Took out a soft ruler from the drawer and measured it from the tail to the tip of the nose, 41.2cm!

I remember that when I measured it yesterday, it was only 35.7cm. It grew 5.5cm overnight, more than half a decimeter. It was definitely not my imagination.

 The effect of the medicine my sister gave me was so obvious. But the more this happened, the more Chen Xing felt that the medicine his sister gave him was unusual. Wang Qiming's beast control did not have such an obvious effect even after taking the customized medicine.

 He measured a few days ago and found that Taotie only grew about 2cm per day on average.

If you could drink that potion every day, you would be able to grow nearly one meter longer in one month than a beast master who doesn’t drink the potion! But a bottle of potion like this costs at least several thousand yuan, right? That’s six-figure expenses in a month, and millions in expenses in a year.

He suddenly realized deeply that money spent on money and money without money were completely two different concepts.

 In fact, this phenomenon has already appeared in the class. Some students from well-off families have obviously bigger beasts. Everyone is the same beast master, and there is no difference in breed. Maybe some beast masters with excellent physical talents can break this rule, but those are rare cases.

 No one noticed Taotie's changes. Now Taotie's size is barely average among the saltwater crocodiles in the class, so naturally no one will pay attention.

It was another day of classes. In the evening, Chen Xing returned home and fed and interacted with Taotie. After accumulating 11 skill point fragments, the "+" sign in front of it finally lit up.

 Chen Xing focused his thoughts on the plus sign. The next moment, ten fragments disappeared, and his skill point changed from 0 to 1.

 Pet trainer, pet caregiver, and pet nutritionist, Chen Xing can choose from these three career trees.

 It took him three days to collect one skill point. At this stage, the speed of obtaining skill points is not very fast.

 Hence, prioritizing career activation in the early stage is crucial.

 Chen Xing might have been confused before, but after giving Taotie a bottle of nutritional reagent yesterday, he felt the importance of nutrition firsthand.

Chen Xing did not hesitate to set his sights on the career of a pet nutritionist.

 Pet Nutritionist’s prerequisite skill—Health Detection, activate!
