The feedback from his tamed beast soon arrived, and Jiang Ziliu's dark energy rose rapidly. His fifth soul star lit up, followed by the sixth and seventh!
Through the Lightning Snake's contract feedback, Jiang Ziliu's dark energy level rose rapidly, also raising his life level to Seven-Star Limestone Rank!
The feedback different tamed beasts gave their beast tamer could stack!
Jiang Ziliu: Class: Seven-Star Limestone Rank beast tamer Lifespan: 16 (131) Life status: Healthy Soul strength: 11.3 Life level: Gray Rock Grade lifeform Dark energy level: 7.5 Personal skills: Probability Judgment (innate skill): Can determine the probability of a specified outcome at any time Feedback skills: Life Aura Concealment (SSS Grade) Electromagnetic Manipulation (SSS+ Grade) Tamed beasts: Black Iron Grade Azurite Rock Man, Black Iron Grade Mutated Lightning Snake Tamed beast skills: Azurite Rock Man: Life Aura Concealment (SSS Grade), Rock and Earth Evasion (C Grade), Rock and Earth Concealment (D+ rank), Earth Space Evasion (unawakened) Mutated Lightning Snake: Electromagnetic Manipulation (SSS+ Grade), Electric Current Attack (D+ rank), Lightning Divine Speed (D Grade), Mutated Spirituality (D- rank) Tamed beast levels: Azurite Rock Man: One-Star Black Iron Mutated Lightning Snake: Two-Star Black Iron Tamed beast status: Azurite Rock Man: Healthy, favorability toward beast tamer: 81%. Mutated Lightning Snake: Slightly injured, recovering, favorability toward beast tamer: 67%.
When the skill feedback appeared, Jiang Ziliu looked over the Mutated Lightning Snake's panel information and quickly selected the SSS+ Grade Electromagnetic Manipulation.
The skill feedback then succeeded, and he mastered this SSS+ Grade skill.
Only after receiving the skill feedback did he carefully examine the relevant information.
This Mutated Lightning Snake really was not powerful. Its skills were D Grade across the board. Had it not mutated, it would never have awakened the SSS+ Grade Electromagnetic Manipulation ability.
But this ability could count as an attack skill.
An exotic beast of ordinary Wisdom, however, would not know how to use this type of skill.
So despite possessing a powerful SSS+ Grade skill, this Mutated Lightning Snake did not know how to use it, leaving the skill as useless as chicken ribs.
It was precisely because of this that he had been caught by a low-level beast tamer.
After all, even an ordinary human would struggle to use this skill well without sufficiently advanced knowledge of electromagnetism.
The instant Jiang Ziliu saw this skill, he thought of a special power.
Railgun!
SSS+ Grade electromagnetic control could definitely unleash the power of a railgun!
With this skill, as long as he carried a coin, Jiang Ziliu's own attack power would become terrifying.
Jiang Ziliu did not dare test this skill at home, but he had already decided that it would become one of his trump cards. Unless he reached a critical moment when he needed to save his life, he absolutely could not use it lightly.
This mutated snake was far from simple!
A normal Lightning Snake only had two skills, Electric Current Attack and Lightning Divine Speed, both generally C Grade.
But both skills had deteriorated significantly in rank in the Mutated Lightning Snake he had contracted.
However, it had gained an SSS+ Grade skill, as well as another D- rank skill, Mutated Spirituality.
Jiang Ziliu placed great value on this D- rank Mutated Spirituality!
The emergence of spirituality meant that this mutated beast's Wisdom had improved tremendously.
It was precisely because it possessed spirituality that it had understood Jiang Ziliu was treating its injuries and had not attacked him then.
For the same reason, it had developed a favorable impression of Jiang Ziliu, allowing the contract to succeed.
Everyone knew the enormous advantage intelligent life had over other life.
This D- rank Mutated Spirituality could be improved.
Although it required corresponding soul-type resources, the possibility of improvement meant this Mutated Lightning Snake's Wisdom could be enhanced further.
With Wisdom, a tamed beast could bring more of its strength into play.
Jiang Ziliu also looked forward to the moment this little fellow unleashed a railgun!
Both his tamed beasts were extraordinary, and Jiang Ziliu was confident he could keep evolving them and raising their grades.
However, he still had one problem to solve.
Food for his two tamed beasts!
That would be no small expense.
Tamed beasts had some ability to absorb dark energy on their own, but their bodies were still material, and their lives could not possibly be sustained entirely by matter.
Thus, exotic beasts needed to consume a certain amount of food every day.
Their food consisted of specific exotic materials, or particular minerals, plants, meat, and other such things from Dungeon Spaces.
Among these, exotic beast cores were cheap. Ten yuan could buy a lowest-grade slime beast core.
Yet they were essential ingredients in exotic beast food.
At a minimum, Jiang Ziliu's Azurite Rock Man needed to eat a D- rank earth-attribute slime beast core every three days, paired with a piece of D- rank earth core black rock.
This cost roughly 80 yuan every three days.
After all, it was a rock lifeform and consumed very little when it remained motionless in the beast-taming space.
But the Mutated Lightning Snake was different. Eating once every seven days would do, and it could even eat just once a month.
However, each meal required at least ten kilograms of exotic beast flesh or one D- rank lightning-attribute beast core.
Lightning-attribute exotic beasts were relatively rare.
Because of this, Jiang Ziliu would have to spend at least 500 yuan on it every seven days just to keep it from starving to death!
And this feeding plan was the most basic one!
It could only meet the two tamed beasts' daily needs and could not help them improve at all.
To evolve tamed beasts, effort also had to go into their daily food, which needed special potion-like formulations.
This required regular consumption of certain high-grade resources over a long period.
Jiang Ziliu calculated that helping his two tamed beasts grow would require at least 10,000 yuan in basic food expenses every month!
If he wanted them to evolve quickly, that expense would have to rise to at least 20,000 yuan!
And that was the monthly expense!
The specialized potions used during evolution might cost upwards of 30,000 yuan!
The beast tamer's path was itself an enormously expensive supernatural path. Since Jiang Ziliu had acquired two tamed beasts, he would inevitably have to shoulder greater expenses.
He now had to think of ways to increase his income.
There were two ways to increase his income: venture into the wilderness beyond the base's sphere of influence, or explore various Dungeon Spaces.
During this process, he could not only gather various exotic beast resources to sell and increase his income.
With good luck, he could also gather food resources for his own tamed beasts, or even special resources to strengthen and evolve them.
Anything he gathered himself would cost only effort, not money.
Resources purchased directly in the base were bound to be extremely expensive.
After thinking it over repeatedly, he decided to explore Dungeon Spaces and gather resources to improve his tamed beasts, or simply earn money to exchange for the resources he needed.
