My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 11 Knowledge from the textbook (Please collect! Please read!)
Knowledge from textbooks...

Zhou Lu chewed over the words Xiao Xi left before she left.

The next second, his brain seemed to be electrocuted, and the memories in his mind were triggered.

These are the knowledge and memories he inherited from his original body, but they are like cold data in a hard drive. If you don't read and write them again, you will always subconsciously ignore their existence.

Zhou Lu searched the room for a while and finally found the textbook he remembered where his father's books were piled.

Looking at the pile of books in front of him, Zhou Lu felt that he should read them all.

Although he probably couldn't understand most of the researcher's reference materials, the part he understood was of great benefit to him.

Books are the least valuable part of his father's inheritance, but they are also the most priceless part. If he wants to go far enough on the road of beast control, knowledge will be the ladder for him to ascend.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lu opened the book "Basic Methods of Breeding Spiritual Beasts" in his hand.

This is one of the five required courses for freshmen. It mainly teaches the knowledge related to the cultivation and training of spiritual pets. It includes almost all the knowledge about spiritual beasts, even the breeding and delivery of spiritual beasts.

The mental health, reward mechanism and skill training of spirit pets are also involved.

In Zhou Lu's view today, this is simply a "Handbook of Dual-Use Military and Civilian Talents".

The other main courses are wilderness survival, sports fighting, spirit beast identification and beast tamer rules.

The first three courses are designed to teach students how to survive in the secret environment.

Survival in the wild goes without saying. If you want to obtain better quality resources, you must go to areas where there are few people.

Secret realm exploration is not a competition. Beastmasters can stand outside the safe circle and command their pets to fight. Many wild beasts have no moral principles, so you must have a way to fight back when necessary, which is the value of physical combat courses. However, Zhou Lu estimated that most students in this course could only barely pass, because the standard for full marks is to deal with non-spiritual beasts such as iron-eating beasts for five minutes.

But the squad leader seemed to be fighting directly with the iron-eating beast... He is indeed a family of famous macho men.

Of course, the best way to avoid risks is to know where the dangers exist and which spiritual beasts are most dangerous, and then avoid the risks of encountering them. This is also the value of the spiritual beast identification course.

But among these main courses, the most important one is the Beastmaster Code.

This world is extremely strict about granting Beast Tamers status. One must be an adult and pass the Beast Tamer Standards Examination of the Beast Tamer Association to become a formal Beast Tamer and contract one's own spirit beast. Otherwise, it would be considered as an individual illegally possessing a spirit beast, which is a serious crime among serious crimes.

There was no such regulation originally. It was only after a series of serious crimes committed by minors using spirit beasts that such restrictions were introduced under the appeal of the whole society. - Of course, this does not mean that there are no similar criminals now.

I heard that in the beginning of this era, people could contract spirit pets when they were infants, but later it was restricted to junior high school, then high school, and finally college students could only contract spirit pets.

I can only say that the "Minors Protection Act" plus the Beast Taming Super System are simply too invincible, and it's impossible to play without nerfing them.

After complaining, Zhou Lu quickly found what he wanted in "Basic Methods of Breeding Spiritual Beasts".

The content of this book is too much and too complicated. In addition, the original body focused all his energy on passing the exam, and did not look closely at the content that was not part of the exam. As a university main course textbook, it was written 26 years ago and its content is actually a bit out of date. Even the teaching ideas still assume that students have contracted spirit pets. I heard that under the leadership of major education companies, the textbook of this main course will be revised for the next class.

Nowadays, students need to pass a standard test before they can contract a spirit pet. When they took this course, they did not have any spirit pets, so naturally they could not learn any skill training. Although the teacher talked about it in class, this part of the content was not part of the exam at all, and Zhou Lu did not pay attention to learn it at the time.

No wonder the teacher of this course repeatedly told us not to throw away the textbooks even if we passed the exam.

Turning to the skill training section, the third chapter is about the training of head-butting skills.

As the most versatile skill of spirit pets, headbutt skills are applicable to all physical spirit pets, and training is also very simple:
Head hard, then hit repeatedly.

It seems like it’s the type that anyone with a brain can learn, but whether or not you can master it depends purely on the pet’s comprehension.

The textbook also specifically mentions several pieces of knowledge to increase the success rate of training. The best way to increase the success rate is to use harder objects as the target for the pet to hit.

Harder objects... The first thing Zhou Lu thought of was the facilities in the training hall, where there should be rocks specifically used for practicing impact.

So, is there anything harder than the rocks in the training hall?

Zhou Lu silently raised his head and looked at the wall in front of him.

It seems there is.

Zhou Lu quickly withdrew his gaze. Although he was impatient for Hua Huo to start practicing tonight, considering that Xiao Xi lived next door, he decided not to disturb her so late at night.

Swish, swish, swish.

There was a slight sound beside me.

Looking down, I saw Hanabi practicing [Vine Entanglement] on the corner of the table.

It has become quite proficient at using [Stem Walking] and [Crazy Growth], but [Vine Entanglement] is not a simple combination of these two skills. What it tests most is actually the experience of the individual spirit pet.

Facing different enemies, you should use different entanglement methods to better control the opponent. This is definitely not something you can learn behind closed doors.

If he wanted Hua Huo to master this skill, he would have to take it to a secret safe zone to find a place where spirit beasts frequently appeared but was not that dangerous, and find a large number of spirit beasts as objects to practice this skill.

I just don't know if there is such a suitable place.

Let’s ask Sister Xiaoqing later.

Zhou Lu thought so and opened the "Spiritual Beast Atlas" beside him.

This book is a textbook for the Spirit Beast Identification Course and can also be used as a reference book. However, now there are faster and more convenient electronic illustrations, and few people would bring such a heavy "Spirit Beast Illustrations" to explore the secret realm.

But the existence of an electronic atlas does not mean that this course is unimportant.

In the most urgent and dangerous moments, the human brain is more efficient than any other tool. When you are faced with a sudden attack from an unknown spirit beast, you may not have enough time to pull out your electronic illustrated guide to check.

Compared to the "Basic Methods of Breeding Spiritual Beasts" which has not changed in more than ten years, the "Spiritual Beast Illustrated Book" is updated every year.

Zhou Lu flipped through the illustrated book in his hand, trying to find the content in his memory.

Soon, he found the content he wanted.

******
Name: [White Jade Snail]

Properties: water, steel
Racial Skills: [Snail Shell Impact]

Secret Realm: C0032 (Linxi Secret Realm)
Introduction: A large snail with a huge white shell on its back. Its shell is as beautiful as white jade and extremely strong. It is the favorite shell of white jade hermit crabs. Their natural enemy, the iron fist wombat, likes to use their shells as boxing gloves.

******
The shell of the white jade snail is a well-known solid object in nature. Since the head hammer skills are used as the main means of attack, it is very necessary for Hua Huo to have a solid "home".

And it has to be beautiful.

The shell of the giant white jade snail meets both requirements perfectly, making it a perfect flowerpot for fireworks.

However, precisely because of its beauty and durability, the shell of the white jade snail is very popular, the price remains high, and the population in the secret realm is also shrinking.

If he remembered correctly, there should be a safe zone in the C0032 secret realm. However, as a C-level secret realm, one needs to obtain a C-level exploration certificate to enter there.

After Hanabi has learned the headbutt skill and [Vine Entanglement], she can go to the safe zone there and try her luck.
