255: Poor Liver Beast Taming Road

"Respected user, your free training time for today has ended."

"Please move to a paid training field, or return tomorrow for beast taming training."

A prompt sounded, reminding her that time was up.

Although this was called a free training field, everyone actually had a training time limit; it wouldn't let you use it indefinitely.

Now that the time had been exceeded, she could only wait until next time.

She didn't know how many times she had swung it, but Wen Xinyi's arms were tired. However, Dog Thing's Rank was still at Level 1, which couldn't help but make her feel a sense of frustration.

"The experience is too little. Even if I want to grind, I don't know how long it will take."

According to her Soul perception, Dog Thing's experience seemed to have increased by less than one-twentieth.

At this rate, she would have to swing it for at least another nineteen days before Dog Thing could be promoted to a Level 2 spirit beast.

As a veteran ACG gamer and a hardcore grinder of Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves, and Roco Kingdom, Wen Xinyi knew well that when a pet's strength was lacking, the only way to have a chance of winning was through level suppression.

Wen Xinyi was a heavy grinder; even her Transmigration to another world was closely related to it.

If she hadn't stayed up all night grinding games the night before, how could she have dozed off at work and then inexplicably transmigrated here?

Returning to the main topic, the Freshman Competition was going to be held in a month.

If her spirit beast's Rank had no advantage at all by then and its stats were garbage, it would be strange if she didn't become a stepping stone for others.

Don't ask Wen Xinyi why she didn't go to the wild to level up; in this world, there were many spirit beasts with naturally ferocious temperaments.

Without a Level 20 spirit beast of one's own, the guards would not let you go to the wild to level up.

Her only option now was perhaps to switch to a paid training field to increase the speed of experience gain.

However, if you wanted to enter a paid training field, you had to spend a certain amount of beast taming gold coins.

Just like the world she came from, everything in the Beast Taming World required money.

People worked for each other, received labor compensation, and paid others in return.

There were two types of hard currency used in this Beast Taming World: one was beast taming gold coins, and the other was beast taming cards.

The former was easy to understand, being simple gold coins, but those gold coins contained energy stone fragments that allowed spirit beasts to absorb and level up.

Therefore, beast taming gold coins, which were linked to value, naturally became the mainstream currency of the Beast Taming World, used for purchasing various things.

beast taming cards were slightly more complex, yet they were also one of the important trading methods for people in this world, mainly used for exchange.

And these beast taming cards were also equivalent to "spatial rings," capable of Sealing targets and storing supplies, beast taming gold coins, and even spirit beasts.

Generally speaking, the number of uses for a beast taming card was limited; it couldn't be used more than five times back and forth, otherwise the card would shatter, causing the Sealed items or spirit beasts inside to be lost into the void.

If you found a professional Beast Taming Card Maker, you could have the cards repaired so they could be used again.

Just like the pile of beast taming cards at Wen Xinyi's feet now, they were all what spirit beasts became after being defeated, Sealed for protection while in a near-death state.

After the training field closed, they would be collected, restored, and then put back into training.

In addition, beast taming cards also had differences in strength; the higher the grade, the stronger the Seal ability, ranging from Level 1 to Level 100 beast taming cards.

Legend had it that the most powerful beast taming cards could even Seal Origin-Grade Spirit Beasts within them.

Everyone just laughed off this legend.

That was an Origin-Grade Spirit Beast!

It symbolized the power of creation, absolute strength, and status.

It was reported that every discovered Origin-Grade Spirit Beast would receive significant attention from the General Beast Tamer Associations of various regions.

Everything from their habits to their smallest actions would be closely monitored.

Their every move could have a significant impact on various beast taming regions, making vigilance necessary.

Furthermore, as existences at the ceiling level of spirit beasts, they were very likely to have evolved intelligence.

How could such existences be willing to be Sealed within a tiny beast taming card?

However, Beast Taming Card Makers had an even more important ability, which was the ability to create: Spirit Beast Summoning Cards!

beast taming cards and Spirit Beast Summoning Cards were different; the former could only store items and Seal spirit beasts, while the latter was entirely for performing Void Realm summons.

Although each beast taming card could only perform a Void Realm summon once, you could summon a random spirit beast.

And the grade of this spirit beast was also related to the grade of the Spirit Beast Summoning Card, which ranged from Level 1 to Level 100 Spirit Beast Summoning Cards.

In other words, the higher the level of the Spirit Beast Summoning Card, the rarer the summoned spirit beast, and naturally, the stronger its power.

Theoretically, even an Origin-Grade Spirit Beast could possibly be summoned, though the probability was extremely small.

However, this ability was not something every Beast Taming Card Maker could master; it not only tested the maker's skill level but, more importantly, their Soul strength.

A Beast Taming Card Maker who could produce three summoning cards matching their own spirit beast Rank within a month would be considered a Great Master... "That's it for today, I'll continue grinding tomorrow!"

Wen Xinyi sighed, packed up the stack of beast taming cards at her feet and placed them on the front desk, then left the Xinglan Spirit Taming Field with Dog Thing.

She returned to the Stana Orphanage, and after a simple wash, fell into a deep sleep.

The subsequent events were commonplace; as a hardcore game grinder, Wen Xinyi fully exerted her grinding spirit.

She attended classes normally during the day, and at night, she took Dog Thing to the Xinglan Spirit Taming Field for an hour of spirit beast "training."

Cultural classes? Weren't those simple?

With the experience of two lives plus her advanced knowledge, she could easily get high scores in these courses.

Also, it had to be said that Wen Xinyi discovered that although Dog Thing was garbage, it was truly resistant to being smashed.

Under repeated swings and smashes, other spirit beasts were smashed into card forms, while it remained normal, without even a single injury.

"Hahaha, not bad! This is perfect for my path of grinding for a poor Beast Tamer!"

So what if I don't have a Golden Finger or a System? I have my grind!

After finishing her training, Wen Xinyi started doing small part-time jobs nearby, handing out flyers and assisting Spirit Beast Healers. She basically stayed up until after midnight every day before returning to the orphanage.

The security in Stana City was excellent; even at night, many Beast Tamers conducted safety patrols, so she didn't worry about any accidents.

As time passed, even the owner of the Xinglan Spirit Taming Field—Old Man Wu—got to know her.

For no other reason than that the purple Eye Demon was simply too eye-catching.

Not long after Wen Xinyi started her routine, he thought several times that an Eye Demon from the free training field had escaped.

He later discovered that wasn't the case.

Subsequently, he gradually discovered that this young girl had extraordinary perseverance.

She set aside time every day to come to the Xinglan Spirit Taming Field for spirit beast training.

This was quite remarkable; one had to know that children of this age were usually still enjoying their childhood, playing happily and without a care.

This situation couldn't help but pique the interest of Old Man Wu, who had been retired from the Beast Tamer Association for many years.

And after his careful investigation, what followed made him admire her even more...
