Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

It's not that they were completely unaware.

Lin Su thought of the loose soil in her little garden that never needed turning, the occasional missing peaches, and the milk that her mother would leave in the garden and which would always disappear...

This was clearly a letter left by the original homeowner, an old man, and the one that condensed the life skill stone was his only pet, the Mud Flow Monster.

A high-level earth and ghost-type pet, it looks like a brown clay doll, moves slowly, and its body can blend into the soil. It is said to especially like land where a large number of skeletons are buried.

Having lived here for so long, it's natural to think of supernatural beings when something strange happens.

It was around that time that the family learned the reason why the house had been sold at a reduced price.

Ghost-type has a really bad reputation.

There's also an unspoken hierarchy of disdain among different attributes of pets. While Fairy and Psychic types are popular due to their rarity, Ghost types are generally avoided.

Their energy sources are largely linked to behaviors such as absorbing emotions and devouring life. They also have strange and unpredictable temperaments, and a single curse can bring inexplicable bad luck to someone.

Social news has reported numerous incidents of ghost-type pets injuring people.

There are few proper Beast Tamers who can contract Ghost-type creatures, which further damages their reputation.

It's not hard to understand why people are terrified of ghost-type creatures, given that they have wicked intentions and unpredictable pets.

However, they had already lived there for three years when they discovered it. Since nothing had happened for three years, they didn't specifically report it to the inspection department.

Lin Su continued reading.

"...I met it in the cemetery; it was hiding in a corner peeking...We found it on the outskirts of an open ancient tomb complex, and we confirmed there were no legal issues..."

We hope you can help us remove that egg. If you don't want to hatch it and form a contract with it, you can also release it back into the wild or a secret realm...

In short, it's about the old man meeting and getting to know the Mudflow Monster when he was young, and discovering a "zombie egg" after an archaeological expedition.

After years of trying to hatch the egg without success, and without a new contract page, he stored it in the Beast Taming Center before his death. The Beast Taming Badge is the key to unlocking the personal storage vault.

Hatching it was an obsession of the old man.

If they couldn't hatch back then, wouldn't they be even more dead after all these years... Lin Su sighed and was about to cross her legs.

"Ouch..."

She pinched her calf, which had suddenly cramped and lost control, and bumped directly onto the coffee table. She then moved it to the sofa and gently massaged it.

It seems best to stay home and not go anywhere for the next couple of days.

Now that we know the origin of the skill stones, we can use them.

Lin Su looked at the yellowish-brown bead and hesitated slightly between letting her pet beast fuse with it or selling it for money.

Earth-type moves have a wide range of applications and mostly consist of physical attacks. Ahri is weak to Poison and Steel types, so Earth-type moves are a good counter to her.

Although their attributes are different, they are both ground-dwelling animals, so theoretically, as long as your pet has enough comprehension, it should be able to learn them.

Friendly reminder.

Please do not have ideas such as fusing non-flying pets with flying-type skill stones or teaching non-dragon-type pets dragon-type skills, unless you have too much money to burn.

This bad luck has come true for me. Anyway, it's free, so if I can't learn it, so be it. I can't let other companies benefit from it.

Besides, my pet has an S-level talent, so maybe it can learn it in one go?

The entire thought process probably took less than two seconds before she spoke:

"Ah Li, come learn a new skill."

"Huanhuan?!"

The little fox, who had just moved the coffee table outwards a bit, opened its eyes wide in confusion.

Why do I suddenly have to learn a skill?

-----------------

Lin Su had never seen the appearance of other people's pet fusion skill stones, but her own pet's appearance seemed particularly devout.

Holding the skill stone in her two little paws and placing it in front of her chest, Ahri closed her eyes and began to comprehend it.

Ten minutes passed.

The round skill stone gradually turned into powder, and its light golden eyes opened, appearing exceptionally bright.

"Huanhuan!"

Ahri pounced on the beast tamer who had been watching her, letting out an excited cry.

It learned it!

Lin Su was knocked backward by the pounce, and was about to praise him with a smile on her face when she suddenly sneezed several times in a row.

After calming down, she rubbed her sore nose and then spoke:

"Great! That's so clever!"

Upon hearing this, Ahri rolled around in her beast tamer's arms, and the starlight swirling around the tip of her slightly swaying tail became even more pronounced.

"Huanhuan?"

Want to see it now?

She really should take a look, otherwise she wouldn't even know how long her bad luck would last... Lin Su nodded and said, "Just one time to release her."

-----------------

outside the house.

A small patch of yellow dust accompanied by heat made Lin Su quickly recognize Ahri's newly learned skill, and she confirmed it with Xiao Tu.

Hot Sands: Attack your opponent by hurling scorching sand. There is a 30% chance that the opponent will be burned. It can also thaw yourself or your opponent after use.

High-level Earth-type skills.

Combined with Ahri's inherent Divine Grace trait, there is a 60% chance that the opponent will be burned and begin to lose health continuously.

Honestly, she'd never seen a novice pet learn advanced skills! Her own pet's talent was truly unparalleled!

However, advanced skills also require a lot of energy, which is why novice pets can hardly learn advanced skills.

Ahri's energy was clearly insufficient after releasing it only once, and the sandstorm only lasted for one second.

But energy is a minor issue. Ahri will also pray for the new moon; given enough time, she'll recover.

Lin Su was very satisfied with this skill, but at the same time, she was deeply worried about her safety over the next two days.

She just twisted her ankle.

-----------------

For the rest of the afternoon, Lin Su stayed quietly in her room studying, doing almost nothing except flipping through books.

Dinner was also ordered as takeout.

I ordered from three different restaurants. The first one was canceled because it was late, the second one spilled when I opened the package, and the third one didn't have any utensils, but that didn't stop me from eating.

Although incidents of choking on meat, swallowing water, or accidentally biting one's tongue still inevitably occurred during the meal, it was obviously much safer than cooking for oneself.

It was 11 p.m.

In the pitch-black room, Ahri nestled in a small ball, fast asleep.

Lin Su changed from lying flat to lying on her side, and after turning over three more times intermittently, she discovered a very serious problem behind her.

She actually has insomnia?!

I'm exhausted after a long day, how can I not sleep?

Lin Su forced herself to clear her mind again, closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing. She entered a meditative state, but exited it again after less than two minutes.

This method didn't work, and she felt even more clear-headed.

Lin Su quietly put on her clothes and got out of bed. After lying down on the sofa, she suddenly realized that she had walked quite smoothly in the dark all the way. No accidents had happened at all?

Now is not the time to dwell on this.

She turned on the alpha brainwave music and began trying another breathing method: inhaling through her nose for a count of 4, holding her breath for a count of 7, and exhaling through her mouth for a count of 8...
