41: Chapter 41 This can actually be deduced?

"Evolution Value +5 points...+5 points...+5 points...+5 points..."

Because after the White Bone Banshee evolved, there were still quite a few calcium tablets left.

Jiang Nan hadn't left the house for these past three days. He and the White Bone Banshee stayed in the villa, familiarizing themselves with the two new skills while using the calcium tablets to increase their strength.

It is worth mentioning that under the system's simplification function, the training method for Bone Metamorphosis became snapping her own bones, while the training method for Nether Ghost Fire was meditation... which is to say, sleeping!

"The White Bone Banshee absorbed a large amount of high-quality calcium elements, bone quality improved, its strength broke through to Silver Nine-Star (MAX)!"

"The White Bone Banshee practiced Bone Metamorphosis, proficiency +10, current proficiency: Mastery (MAX)."

"The White Bone Banshee practiced Nether Ghost Fire, proficiency +10, current proficiency: Mastery (MAX)."

"Kind reminder: Your Spirit Pet, the White Bone Banshee, has reached a strength bottleneck and requires special methods to break through!"

Hearing the system's prompt, Jiang Nan frowned slightly and opened the White Bone Banshee's system panel.

"Spirit Pet: White Bone Banshee"

"Strength: Silver Nine-Star (MAX)"

"Personality: Confident, Love-brained"

"Attribute: Dark"

"Race: Undead Race"

"Talent: Lord-level"

"Skills: King-rank · Undying Soul Fire, Mortal-rank · Steel-Cutting Flash · Mastery (Arcane · Flying Slash), Mortal-rank · Explosive Step · Mastery (Arcane · Chasing Stars and Moon), Spirit-rank · Bone Metamorphosis · Mastery, Spirit-rank · Nether Ghost Fire · Mastery"

"Affinity: 100%"

"Evaluation: Her strength has reached a bottleneck and cannot be forced to breakthrough by supplementing calcium elements. This situation often requires a professional Spirit Pet breeder to give you an answer, but asking the system seems to be a simpler and faster method..."

On the panel, besides the changes in strength and skill proficiency, what caught Jiang Nan's attention the most was the system's evaluation.

Normally speaking, a Spirit Pet's strength cap is closely related to its talent, and before reaching the cap, crossing each major realm requires the stimulation of certain treasures to achieve.

Previously, the reason the White Bone Banshee was able to go directly from Bronze Nine-Star to Silver One-Star was due to the mutation caused by the talent evolution, which directly skipped this step.

Now that he was facing this situation again, he could no longer take shortcuts.

"In the current common knowledge of the Beast Taming world, there are two ways for a Spirit Pet to break through a major realm. One is to rely on the accumulation of time and increasing one's foundation to force a breakthrough like wild magical beasts, and the other is to consume specific heaven-and-earth treasures to breakthrough in advance, skipping a large amount of natural growth time."

"The reason Beast Taming Breeders make money is that they can use the knowledge in their brains to analyze routes that are more suitable for a Spirit Pet's growth or breakthrough according to the different circumstances of different Spirit Pets..."

"System, can you solve the problem of Xiao Gu being unable to continue increasing her strength?"

"Yes, this system can not only simplify the training of moves and methods of increasing strength, but also deduce the materials needed for a Spirit Pet's breakthrough!"

"Can you do it for other people's Spirit Pets too?"

"The system currently does not have this function..."

"Fine, if you could even deduce breakthrough plans for other people's Spirit Pets, then those so-called Beast Taming Breeding Masters would be weak as hell!"

Dismissing the fantasies in his mind, Jiang Nan signaled the system to begin deducing the White Bone Banshee's breakthrough plan.

Because the White Bone Banshee was a special Spirit Pet that had never appeared in the Beast Taming world before, even the previous [Complete Knowledge of Beast Taming Breeding] did not record its breakthrough plan.

If the system didn't exist, he didn't know how much time it would take to find the White Bone Banshee's breakthrough plan.

"Deducing the White Bone Banshee's Gold Tier breakthrough plan... Deduction successful!"

"Plan 1: Supplement a large amount of calcium elements. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, forcing a breakthrough to Gold Tier. No side effects. Estimated experience points required: 100 million."

"100 million experience points!?"

"Damn it! The 100,000 evolution points needed for evolution almost cost me my life, and 100 million experience points... even selling me wouldn't be enough!"

"Plan 2: Use heaven-and-earth treasures to create a specialized breakthrough potion for the White Bone Banshee. There is a 1% probability of causing the side effect of reduced talent. Required materials: Purple Orchid Root, Other Shore Flower, Star Fruit, Five-Colored Flower, and a Gold Tier Dark Attribute Spirit Crystal with a purity of over 80%."

"The second method is much cheaper. The most expensive thing here is just the Gold Tier Dark Attribute Spirit Crystal; I've heard of many of the other materials."

"It's just... a 1% probability of talent reduction. Even if my luck is bad, it wouldn't be bad to that extent, right?"

Jiang Nan muttered to himself. His current savings were nearly 4 million, while a Gold Tier Dark Attribute Spirit Crystal with a purity of over 80% would cost at least over 5 million.

Thinking about it this way, he seemed to be a poor guy after all, unable to even afford the materials for the White Bone Banshee's breakthrough.

"Damn! I thought I was already rich, but I didn't expect to still be a pauper in the Beast Taming world..."

Jiang Nan wanted to cry but had no tears. However, this money had to be spent; it must be spent!

Just as he was immersed in the pain of impending bankruptcy, the angry voice of the White Bone Banshee suddenly reached his ears.

"Bone Metamorphosis · Bone Shield!"

A white figure instantly appeared behind Jiang Nan. A triangular shield transformed from white bone was grasped in the White Bone Banshee's hand, blocking a dark arrow flying from afar.

"Enemy attack? Who is it!"

Jiang Nan frowned, instantly becoming alert, and the alloy combat saber at his waist was unsheathed with a jerk.

He vigilantly looked around, but didn't discover anyone. It wasn't until the White Bone Banshee transmitted the position to him with her mental power that he saw a blurry figure in the dark woods.

Seeming to know that he had been exposed, the person in the woods simply stopped hiding, clapping while walking slowly toward Jiang Nan.

"Impressive! Impressive!"

"As expected of the person the Young Master wants to kill, it really isn't that simple..."

"It's just that I'm very curious. In the file, you are clearly a student from the Liberal Arts Department, so why do you possess such a powerful Spirit Pet?"

"Judging by the aura, it seems to be Silver Rank... A breed I've never seen before. It would be worth researching if I catch it. Was it left behind by your family elders to protect you?"

Seeing the person clearly, it was a middle-aged man with a sinister smile on his face.

The man was wearing a black robe, with a hood covering most of his face. His whole image seemed out of place in broad daylight, and one look was enough to know he was a dangerous individual.

Feeling the gaze filled with killing intent from the man, Jiang Nan frowned tightly, on high alert.

"Are you from the Lin family? Did Young Master Lin Tianxin send you to kill me?"

"Smart!"

"Why? My feud with your Young Master isn't that big, why escalate it to the point of taking a life?"

"No, no, no, kid... You seem to have misunderstood one thing. Ants like you are not qualified to use the word 'feud'. To the Young Master, your death is simply because he was in a bad mood when he went out today, then saw an ant on the ground, and in his anger, stepped on it and crushed it—it's just that simple!"
