33: Genetic puzzle?
【Evolution Ritual】
【Completion: 2 / 8】
【Contracted Pet Beast: Qing Yan】
【attribute: Insect】
【Species: Agile Intermediate】
【growth level: Entry-level Intermediate】
【Energy Value: 301】
...【Skill ③: Super Digestion】
【attribute: Water】
【Skill Level: Advanced Skill】
【Skill Introduction】:
Possesses unparalleled digestive ability, can perfectly digest high-grade materials, and will never enter a state of 【Nutritional Excess】. Under conditions where the material quality is sufficiently good, it can also 【Acquire Skills】.
【Skill ④: Metabolic Acceleration】
【attribute: Insect】
【Skill Level: Basic Skill】
【Skill Introduction】:
Through the basic abilities of the insect race, it stimulates the body's metabolic rate to enhance recovery speed and various attributes, and can even increase the release frequency of poison powder type Skills.
Acquire Skills through high-quality materials? Isn't this just a pure gacha mechanism?
This Metabolic Acceleration should also have appeared because of 【Super Digestion】. Although the materials aren't too good, just like how low-grade coupons can yield good results, there's also the possibility of 【Acquiring Skills】; it's just a matter of probability.
But honestly, this ability is indeed a bit abnormal. Theoretically speaking, Qing Yan can possess Skills of all attributes.
The only limitation is Qing Yan's diet. Now, Li Wen has every reason to suspect that Gold-element Skills will be related to this aspect.
In this way, the distinction between the lower three elements, middle two elements, upper two elements, and the crucial one element is like a puzzle.
The lower three elements correspond to growth abilities: Water-element digestion, Gold-element devouring ability, and Insect-element should correspond to evolution Skills related to the 【Insect Silk】 Skill.
The middle two elements correspond to combat abilities: Fire-element and Lightning-element, which cover both defense and attack.
The meaning of the upper two elements is currently unclear, mainly because Li Wen's primary way of encountering Light and Dark elements at this stage is still through television.
As for the most crucial element, Li Wen is almost certain it's related to the integration of attributes.
This forms a complete genetic puzzle.
And Qing Yan's improvement of it also led to an increase in its species, from Agile Novice to Agile Intermediate.
The significant increase in growth level and Energy Value is probably also related to the complete digestion of materials.
As for why Entry-level Intermediate still has such a large gap in Energy Value compared to Ya Bao...
Originally, pet beasts like 【Little Green Worm】 have low Energy Value at the same growth level, let alone when compared to species like 【Sprout Beast】 which prioritize vitality.
“Let's go out for a walk. It's time to find some opponents for Qing Yan and test his strength.”
...Shanghe City Battle Arena, Second High School Branch.
Although it's called the Second High School Branch, it's not actually inside the Second High School, and it's not far from the First High School, so students often come here to battle in the evenings.
Not only to compete but also to improve their strength. It's said that because he didn't bring Chen Ping today, that kid stayed here all day.
As for who said it, of course, Chen Ping himself complained to him on QQ.
When he asked him if he wanted to spar with him, he fell silent.
Seriously, you're the one who said you wanted to spar, but when I agree, you're not happy.
ƪ ( ˘ ⌣ ˘ ) ʃ Graceful
“Hello, welcome.” After entering the venue, a young female receptionist greeted him with a smile.
“I'd like to spar. Are there anyPrecautions I should be aware of?”
Although he often heard his classmates discuss it, he had never actually been to this place.
“You need to choose your sparring level and sparring mode.”
Li Wen looked around. Besides this receptionist, all the other receptionists were busy serving customers. There were indeed quite a lot of people. If he had come any later, he would probably have had to queue up.
“There's a battle mode and a random gambling battle mode. In battle mode, you and the person you've arranged to fight enter the arena to battle. In random gambling battle mode, Beastmasters of the same level are randomly matched for a gambling battle, with the loser paying the venue fee.”
As soon as he heard the rules of the random gambling battle, the battle mode was no longer within Li Wen's consideration. Are you kidding? No wonder they say Beastmasters can change their social class. Now Li Wen even wanted to beg on the spot.
He couldn't afford a 100 yuan venue fee at all.
“The sparring level is Entry-level Intermediate, and the sparring mode is random gambling battle.”
“You're Entry-level Intermediate?” The receptionist looked incredulous. Although Li Wen wasn't wearing his school uniform today because he was working, his youthful face still made him look like a student at a glance.
“What's wrong? Is there a problem?”
She seemed to be trying to make up for her unprofessionalism earlier and quickly said,
“No, it's just that our levels here are only Entry-level and above.”
The division into Entry-level Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced is mainly because the Beastmaster's soul power grows much faster than their pet beast during this period, which is why it's divided this way.
For example, Li Wen's soul power is already close to that of a Level 3 Beastmaster. Theoretically, as long as his pet beast's strength reaches the required level, he can directly take the assessment for an Entry-level Advanced Beastmaster.
“Alright, then Entry-level.”
Based on the information Li Wen provided, the receptionist quickly processed the request and handed him a card.
“This is your card number. Once the system matches you with an opponent, the lobby broadcast will announce your arena. You can wait in the seats on the right side.”
“Okay.” Li Wen took his number tag, found a random seat, and sat down to wait.
He could only hope not to encounter an Entry-level Advanced opponent. If he were really that unlucky, then Da Jie Tou, who had just been brought back not long ago, would have to step in and fight above her level.
“Ya? Ya~”
“I'll still get a chance to fight? Yay!”
After learning the 【Disguise】 Skill, Ya Bao reverted to her size when contracted and once again occupied Li Wen's head, while Qing Yan could only retreat to his shoulder.
“If you don't get matched, then it's not your turn, since today is for testing Qing Yan.”
Qing Yan had no objections; he didn't want to fight anyway.
“Ying~”
“As long as it doesn't delay me from making money.”
...Meanwhile, in Arena Number Ten.
Chen Ping emerged with several people wearing First and Second High School uniforms, looking at the person surrounded by the crowd, and sincerely said,
“I really can't beat you, but I'm really looking forward to someone meeting you.”
Another person from the same First High School said, “Chen Ping, even you can't beat him, who else can fight him?”
The group from Second High School also echoed, “That's right, Chu Kai almost has no opponents in Second High School. Who else in your First High School can fight him?”
Chen Ping thought to himself, if these people really encountered him, he wondered what their expressions would be like, someone who even defeated the instructor, although it was with a new pet.
He said to the person who had just spoken, “It seems you took leave on the first day and didn't see the battle with the instructor. He was also one of the three who successfully took leave.”
At this moment, Chu Kai, who was surrounded like a star, received a message that he had been successfully matched. The location was still Arena Number Ten.
“I hope this opponent can give me some pressure this time.”
