Icefield City Pet Breeding Base.

Night.

A figure walked out of the dormitory building, heading straight for the infirmary.

In pet breeding bases, fights between the wild pets raised are a common occurrence, and caretakers being accidentally injured also happens occasionally.

Therefore, most formal pet breeding bases are equipped with an infirmary.

The infirmary here doesn't discriminate against treatment subjects; it can treat injuries to both humans and pets. The treatment methods are also very simple... In the Beast Taming Era, of course, healing abilities of pets are used.

After quickly arriving at the infirmary, Shi Yu saw the on-duty doctor sitting in a chair, processing documents.

"What's wrong?" she asked, looking up when she saw someone coming.

"Doctor, I think I've twisted my wrist."

"I'm worried it will affect my work tomorrow..."

Shi Yu stepped forward, extending his hand, which was slightly swollen and still trembling.

"Let me see." The female doctor, expressionless, glanced at Shi Yu's wrist.

From his clothes, she could tell that Shi Yu was an intern caretaker here, a student fresh out of school.

These types of employees were often the ones who had accidents, and she was used to it.

"I'll give it a quick treatment." After saying that, she muttered something under her breath.

The next second, Shi Yu felt the surrounding temperature drop sharply, and a wind appeared out of nowhere.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

The breeze blew, and the curtains in the room fluttered.

At the same time, as the female doctor completed her thought, a huge white-green array flickering with countless light spots, like a star map, appeared in mid-air beside her, facing Shi Yu.

Then, the array produced ripples like the surface of water, and a white dandelion puff floated out.

The white dandelion puff was larger than Shi Yu's palm, had no roots, and after being summoned by the female doctor, it landed directly on the back of Shi Yu's hand.

"It'll be fine soon," the female doctor said.

As she finished speaking, the white dandelion puff flickered with a faint white light, enveloping the back of Shi Yu's hand.

In an instant, under the light, Shi Yu felt himself being healed.

His wrist was really twisted, but it wasn't that serious. He had done it himself on the way here. He had felt some pain before, but now it was completely gone.

Shi Yu inwardly exclaimed at how amazing it was.

No wonder that intern said the infirmary at the breeding base was impressive; it really was.

The existence of extraordinary creatures wasn't all bad for humans. In fields such as medicine, they could be of great help to humans.

After the treatment was completed, the white dandelion puff floated up from Shi Yu's hand.

At the same time.

In Shi Yu's mind, the third page of the stone encyclopedia opened.

The image of a White Dandelion Puff, a plant-type pet of medium racial level, appeared.

[Skill]: High-Speed Healing

[Skill Level]: Intermediate

[Introduction]: A wood-based healing ability that can accelerate the healing speed of ordinary injuries.

[Status]: No teaching target yet

This time, he had successfully collected and copied an extremely rare healing ability with high value and versatility!

The White Dandelion Puff had not only used its skill but also made contact with Shi Yu, just as Shi Yu had expected.

The doctors at the breeding base's infirmary were all Beast Tamers and had contracts with rare healing-type pets. Other employees had been treated here for accidental injuries, so Shi Yu had quickly thought of this method to try copying healing skills.

However, Shi Yu felt that he was being too hasty. There were still three months left in his internship, and there might be other opportunities in the future. There was no need to be so impulsive.

"Should you be okay now?" the female doctor asked, looking at Shi Yu after recalling her pet.

"Also, you're too alarmed. White Dandelion Puff said it was just a minor injury."

The rich expression on Shi Yu's face had made her think it was a much more serious injury...

However, seeking medical attention promptly for physical problems was commendable.

She had seen many Beast Tamers and pets who didn't pay attention to minor injuries, and small injuries accumulated over time would eventually develop into more serious problems.

Shi Yu: ...

Sorry, he had already put in a lot of mental struggle for this minor injury.

"I'll be careful next time. Thank you," Shi Yu said quickly, nodding his thanks. At the same time, he felt quite embarrassed, as he had delayed her work. He would buy some snacks that plant-type pets liked tomorrow to express his gratitude...

Using healing abilities to treat injuries was the treatment method of the pet breeding base's infirmary.

Even for small wounds, the doctors here preferred to use pets to handle them. The reason was simple: repeated treatments would increase the skill proficiency of the pets.

Learning a skill didn't mean one could use it proficiently. It often required many practices to truly make the skill one's own.

Therefore, the Skill Encyclopedia's method of increasing skill proficiency through repeated teaching was actually quite a bug, equivalent to accelerating the pets' training efficiency.

...

Through the breeding base's infirmary, Shi Yu successfully obtained a rare healing skill, and he was in a good mood.

After returning to the dormitory from the infirmary, Shi Yu washed up and went to bed.

Before going to sleep, he started looking forward to the day he would become a Beast Tamer.

After becoming a Beast Tamer, there would be more paths to take.

Especially if he could pass the professional Beast Tamer exam, he would hardly have to do anything except fulfill a small part of his obligations. The Beast Tamer Association would also give him money every month, almost a class leap.

"A Beast Tamer who has just contracted a pet is a Trainee Beast Tamer."

"After the abilities of both the Trainee Beast Tamer and the initial pet reach a certain standard, they can participate in the Beast Tamer Association's unified assessment."

"Passing the assessment means becoming an official professional Beast Tamer."

Shi Yu muttered to himself, wondering how long it would take him to go from Trainee to official with the Skill Encyclopedia...

Having the Skill Encyclopedia, he should have a significant advantage in pet breeding.

His age, around 18, was also the best age to become a Beast Tamer.

Thinking about it, Shi Yu fell asleep.

...

After transmigrating, Shi Yu spent a day trying to adapt to the new world.

At the same time, he determined his next goals.

The next morning, Shi Yu woke up early and started his new day of work.

And he took the time to buy a thank-you gift for the aunt who helped him treat his injury yesterday.

After adjusting his mindset and suppressing the urge to quickly become a Beast Tamer, Shi Yu began to slowly integrate into this world.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed, the internship was about to end, and Shi Yu was finally able to receive his pet.

Taking advantage of his work, he successfully copied and collected two more skills during this period.

The first was an intermediate skill, "Super Vision," from a high-grade transcendent wind-type bird pet, the Green-Backed Hawk, which was the group of pets patrolling the sky above the breeding base.

Super Vision, as the name suggests, is a skill used to enhance vision.

Hawks already have good eyesight, but creatures that awaken the Super Vision skill have even more perfect vision. They can not only see in the dark, see far, and see through ordinary illusions, but the opponent's movements, as far as they can see, will also appear several times slower to them.

Although it doesn't seem to directly form combat power, it has a very high upper limit and a wide range of uses. Pets that rely on vision for reconnaissance and patrol in various cities basically have the Super Vision skill.

Unfortunately, this is still a bit different from the perception skill that Shi Yu had in mind to maximize his five senses... If he could find the latter, who would settle for the former?

But this skill is also good. If the Iron-Eating Beast can learn this, its combat awareness will definitely increase by more than just a little.

The second is an advanced skill, "Absolute Sleep."

It came from a high-grade transcendent pet, the Sandman.

Sandmen belong to the undead type of pets, and their racial skills are only two: the mental-type "Hypnotic Wave" and "Absolute Sleep."

Obviously, this Sandman also belonged to a certain caretaker's pet.

The other party often used the Sandman's "Hypnotic Wave" ability to help some pet cubs fall asleep peacefully, making it a good support skill.

As for "Absolute Sleep," it is a skill used on oneself. After use, one can enter a state of deep sleep and recover physical strength at an ultra-high speed. It is a recovery-type skill.

Few pets can master the Absolute Sleep skill, but with the Iron-Eating Beast's love of sleeping, it should be possible, right?

The reason Shi Yu copied this skill was to see if he could be self-sufficient in the future...

After becoming a Beast Tamer, if you want to make your pet grow quickly, you definitely have to train it.

But training consumes a lot of the pet's physical strength. Pets will also get tired and need to rest.

Generally, in this situation, Beast Tamers can recall their pets to the Beast Taming Space to accelerate their physical recovery, but this will cause a lot of consumption for the Beast Tamer.

For richer individuals, they can buy some nutritional supplements.

But Shi Yu was different. He thought that if his pet could learn "Absolute Sleep," wouldn't it be able to recover its physical strength at high speed on its own...? It would save money and effort. Anyway, the Iron-Eating Beast loved to sleep; anywhere was fine.

Even if it got injured during training, he wouldn't have to buy medicine or go to the hospital, because he could also teach the pet the healing skill "High-Speed Healing" and let the pet heal itself.

This way, he could save a lot of money again...

He really was a genius.

Of course, Shi Yu was definitely not trying to be lazy when he copied these skills... It was purely out of necessity.

He believed that the Iron-Eating Beast, which he hadn't even met yet, would understand him. His family was too poor.

Shi Yu put in a lot of effort to copy both skills, just like how he secretly learned High-Speed Healing.

But why only two...? It was as if the encyclopedia had reached its limit after collecting five skills.

This made Shi Yu feel depressed.

Although he guessed there would be a limit, five slots to start with were too few.

Luckily, he didn't rush to copy low-level skills; otherwise, it would have been a huge loss.

Currently, the skill encyclopedia's maximum number of skills it can collect is five...

To add new pages, Shi Yu guessed that he would have to improve his Beast Tamer level, just like developing certain special Beast Taming talents.

The method for Beast Tamers to improve their abilities is actually very simple.

It is to constantly strengthen, transform, and expand their Beast Taming Space through meditation.

The more solid the Beast Taming Space is, the higher the level of pets that can be contracted, and the greater the binding force on the pets.

The better the environment within the Beast Taming Space, the faster the pets will grow.

The larger the area of the Beast Taming Space, the more pets the Beast Tamer can contract.

Beast Tamers can selectively develop their Beast Taming Space based on their own positioning. Not all three paths need to be perfected.

And as the Beast Taming Space upgrades, the associated special Beast Taming talents will also be strengthened.
