Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

9 pm.

Lin Su set her alarm, then spread herself out on the bed in a starfish shape, with Huan Yuehu beside her, mimicking her by spreading herself out like a pancake.

"Go to sleep."

She stroked the little fox and said softly.

We'll think about the rest tomorrow; a balance between work and rest is the right way.

"Huanhuan".

The Phantom Moon Fox turned to the side and curled up into a ball, snuggling closer to its beast tamer.

00:00 AM.

In the stillness of the night, the Beast Taming Compendium in Lin Su's mind suddenly lit up with white light, enveloping the sleeping man and beast.

Time stood still in this second.

Lin Su felt like she was dreaming. In her dream, she walked along a deserted path and then encountered her own Illusion Moon Fox.

Before I could even speak, a single-story building, seemingly shrouded in mist, appeared out of nowhere in front of me.

"Huanhuan?!"

The little moon fox, its tail held high, instantly appeared beside its beast tamer, its two paws gripping her trouser leg tightly.

...The tactile sensations in this dream are a bit too real?

Lin Su looked down at her pajamas, then bent down and picked up the little Phantom Moon Fox with its tail fur all puffed up: "Don't be afraid, it's just a dream."

"Huanhuan?"

Under the soothing comfort of its beast tamer, the Phantom Moon Fox gradually calmed down and let out a puzzled cry, indicating that it had dreamt of them together.

"This means we are destined to meet."

Lin Su observed the building in front of her and made up a lie with a straight face.

Without much hesitation, she carried her pet and pushed open the door to go inside.

The door closed automatically behind me.

The most prominent sign in the lobby, marked with "[08:00:00]", began its countdown the moment the door closed.

Lin Su looked around and found that most of the equipment seemed to be for testing, which she didn't recognize. There were also two rooms with their doors open directly in front of her.

Just as she was about to go over and take a look, a familiar, monotonous, mechanical voice sounded:

【Greetings, Master. I am Xiao Tu. Welcome to the Dream Training Room.】

Small picture? The small picture from her house?

Lin Su inexplicably associated the name with the image of her own robot vacuum cleaner, and suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

The mechanical voice continued on its own:

Below is an explanation of the rules and usage of the Dream Training Room:

The training room opens promptly at 00:00.

The activation condition is two consecutive complete sleep cycles, which means that you need to have 3 consecutive hours of sleep on the same day. If you wake up in the middle of the night, the count will start over.

The available time is your effective awake time for the day, rounded down by the hour, with a maximum of 18 hours. Training can be terminated early, but unused time cannot be accumulated.

We advocate for a balance between work and rest; therefore, sleep duration is just as important as waking time.

[When you are inside the training room, time outside is completely still, and all time statistics are based on the outside world.]

Lin Su understood perfectly; she couldn't sleep or make nesting dolls in the training room, but she still had a few questions:

"What is the effective duration of wakefulness?"

[If you are awake but daydreaming or dozing off, that period of time is considered invalid.]

"What if I or my pet are still awake when it's midnight?" Can I still enter if I'm not dreaming?

Whether your pet is asleep or not does not matter. However, if you are awake, it will be assumed that you are forgoing training that evening.

Dreams are the key to the training room. Little Tu suggests you avoid staying up late and go to bed on time.

If this really is a magic touch, she will become a healthy and energetic woman!

"Then what is the purpose of this training room?" Lin Su suppressed her amazement and continued to ask.

The small image's mechanical voice sounded again, this time with a hint of pride:

The training room is equipped with a full range of testing equipment and strength enhancement programs, which can help you understand your pet comprehensively and quickly improve its abilities.

[Furthermore, when you are awake, I can also provide explanations and talent assessments for contractable pets, acting as an encyclopedia. For example, the icon for the Phantom Moon Fox this afternoon.]

Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Lin Su was stunned and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Are the icons controlled by smaller images?

So, does she have an AI or intelligent being living in her brain? Is that really safe?

You can't blame her for being overly cautious.

Anyone who's read cultivation novels knows that the incredibly wise, almost cheat-like, old man who's always by your side isn't necessarily a good person...

"Huanhuan?"

Sensing the emotional fluctuations of its beast tamer, the Phantom Moon Fox let out a worried cry.

Lin Su stroked the back of the Illusion Moon Fox's neck fur, and after calming herself down, she tentatively asked, "Little Tu, do you live in my mind?"

Yes, I live inside your Beast Taming Encyclopedia, so I can see the outside world through your eyes.

Once a Beastmaster reaches a higher level, the pets in the encyclopedia can also see the outside world through the Beastmaster's eyes.

"Oh..." Lin Su said knowingly, "So you're my Pokédex Pokémon? Can you come out like a pet?"

No wonder she's called Xiao Tu; the Beast Taming Encyclopedia must be in her head, right?

The mechanical voice carried a hint of shyness:

[You could say that. I am actually your intelligent assistant. But I can't be released yet; you have to wait until you develop 70% of your brain capacity.]

"Then I'll try my best," Lin Su replied quickly.

It's uncertain when she'll achieve that. Right now, she's still a beginner, with her brain just awakened and only 8% developed.

After Lin Su finished speaking, she glanced at the sign and decided that since it was safe, there was no need to waste any more time.

She weighed the Phantom Moon Fox in her arms and said, "Let's take a walk around first. Xiao Tu, could you please provide a description?"

The mechanical voice carried a hint of excitement: "No problem! Master, you can take a look around the hall first!"

First, there's the full-body scanner, which provides the most detailed and accurate data analysis. I recommend starting with that.

This is an energy recovery pod, which can replenish energy at any time, ensuring that your pet can make the most of the time spent in the training room...

The human and the fox were like children naturally curious about the world, opening their eyes wide and looking at everything as they were introduced.

Finally, we arrived at the room.

The larger room was clearly a training room, with many standing targets in the spacious interior.

The mechanical sound from the small image rang out at just the right moment:

[Master, this is the skill training room. It can help your Phantom Moon Fox improve its skill proficiency and become stronger as soon as possible!]

Pet skills are classified into low-level, mid-level, high-level, super-level, and heaven-level according to their power and difficulty. As for god-level skills, they are legendary skills that no one has ever seen.

Skill proficiency is divided into seven stages from low to high: beginner, entry-level, proficient, master, minor achievement, major achievement, and perfection.

The higher the skill proficiency, the stronger the power.

Moreover, skill proficiency is a very mysterious thing. As long as the proficiency is high enough, it is not impossible for a low-level skill to fight against a mid-level skill with low proficiency.

But...

Proficiency isn't something that's easy to improve. Beginner skills are manageable, but advanced skills generally require years of practice.

Therefore, great strength is definitely the result of both hard work and talent, neither of which can be lacking.
