Shi Yu was tired.

Not only because of the continuous overtime for a week, but also because the skill proficiency seemed endless.

This skill proficiency, it was entry-level once, skilled twice, mastered four times, and it's been more than ten times now, why isn't it perfect yet?

Shi Yu suspected that the Skill Index was messing with his mentality.

Following the thinking of mathematics, he couldn't guess what the Index was thinking at all.

Otherwise, logically speaking, Mastered + 4 should be perfect, which are different powers of 2.

"Perfect level proficiency doesn't seem as simple as I thought..."

After thinking carefully, Shi Yu accepted it.

After all, from entry-level to mastered, as long as the pets practice hard, it's an achievement that can be reached regardless of their aptitude.

But wanting to reach perfect proficiency is a realm that some pets, even those with beast tamers, may never reach in their entire lives.

It's not the same dimension anymore.

Let's try again!

With a mindset of giving it a try, Shi Yu gave the Green Silkworm two more points in Silk.

Then, the surprise often comes too suddenly.

"Ji..."

In Shi Yu's hand, the Green Silkworm first underwent a growth transformation in confusion, and then its cry entered Shi Yu's ears.

As an insect-type pet, it's normal for the Green Silkworm to grow fast. After being taught Silk twice, Shi Yu wasn't surprised that it had awakened to level ten.

However, apart from that, the message that Silkworm conveyed to Shi Yu was not simple.

"What, the Silk has finally undergone a qualitative change again?"

Shi Yu's hand trembled, almost throwing Silkworm out.

After Silk (Mastered + 12), it finally reached Silk (Perfect).

"Ji, ji!" The Green Silkworm nodded with bright eyes, then jumped off Shi Yu's palm.

Then, it looked at a large stone in the yard used for decoration.

Whoosh!

The Green Silkworm spit out Silk, not just one strand, but more like a dozen strands intertwined, so it was particularly thick, about the size of a thick straw.

Next, the white Silk-Ray shot towards the stone like a gunshot, and with a "crack," a crack appeared in the ordinary stone.

Shi Yu was about to say, "That's it?", which wasn't as powerful as entry-level Hardening. But thinking that this was just a Silkworm, he couldn't help but say with relief, "Good job."

Today, Silk finally entered the perfect realm, and Silkworm is one step closer to evolution!

[Name]: Green Silkworm

[Growth Level]: Awakened Level Ten

[Racial Skill]: Silk (Perfect)

This should be the current attribute of the Green Silkworm.

"Ji, ji!" At this moment, praised by Shi Yu, the Green Silkworm also cried happily.

At this time, Shi Yu finally realized that something was wrong.

He looked at the Green Silkworm, and after a long reaction, he realized that he seemed to be able to communicate with the Green Silkworm normally.

In the beginning, the Green Silkworm only had instincts, and Shi Yu couldn't communicate with it at all.

Later, after Shi Yu raised it for a while and its growth level increased, the two could communicate simply through telepathy.

However, the communication at that time was limited to some ordinary instructions, and the Green Silkworm's IQ was probably similar to or even slightly inferior to pet cats and dogs.

But now, as the Green Silkworm reached level ten of awakening and Silk reached the perfect level, Shi Yu could almost clearly feel its emotions.

And, when it communicated with Shi Yu, it began to resemble a child who could think independently.

It might still not be as smart as a mammal like the Iron-eating Beast, but Shi Yu was happy to reach this point.

Those level ten Green Silkworms in the breeding base weren't this smart. It seemed to be the merit of the perfect-level racial skill.

"So it seems that on the basis of the Mastered level, teaching it 12 more times, starting from scratch, that is, teaching it a total of 16 times, is the threshold for the perfect level!"

Shi Yu looked in the direction of the training ground in the backyard, which meant that Eleven's Hardening skill could also reach the perfect level after teaching it three more times, right?

Maybe two times would be enough, after all, Eleven's own training was also very hard, which would definitely increase some proficiency.

But after thinking about it, Shi Yu judged that it should still be three times. After all, perfect-level proficiency required many years of hard work. Although Eleven was very hardworking, it had only been training for a month.

Compared to the huge experience bar of the perfect-level skill, its hard work, rather than increasing proficiency, was more like perfectly converting the points Shi Yu added into its own things, rather than relying entirely on external forces.

"I was already bored from staying at home and planned to re-challenge the ruins tomorrow. Now it seems, I'll wait until I've also leveled Hardening to the perfect level before going."

After considering it, Shi Yu decided, and then he looked at the little bug on the ground.

He teased the little bug with a fresh expression. In the past, the Green Silkworm couldn't understand too much of what he said. Could it now?

"Silkworm, come here."

Shi Yu called Silkworm, and Silkworm immediately crawled over.

"There are several chickens and rabbits in the same cage. They all have one head. Chickens have two legs, and rabbits have four legs. Counting from above, there are 35 heads. Counting from below, there are 94 legs. Tell me, how many chickens and rabbits are there in the cage?"

Green Silkworm: ???

The Green Silkworm looked at Shi Yu with a blank expression.

"Forget it, Eleven can't do this either. It's a little difficult for you."

"Okay, next question, Dragon Beard Grass, Bamboo Leaves, Persimmon Leaves, Cabbage Leaves, which one do you like to eat?"

"Ji!"

The Green Silkworm wasn't confused when asked this question.

It said that it liked all of them.

If it had to choose one, it would want the one that gave the most.

If the amount given was about the same, it would want Dragon Beard Grass.

Shi Yu nodded. Okay, this IQ is still passable for the time being. With some training in the future, it will definitely become a great talent.

"Next question, who is better to you, me or Eleven?"

The Green Silkworm fell into deep thought.

It recalled that the Iron-eating Beast disturbed its sleep every day and dragged it to train together, which was too tiring for the Silkworm.

In comparison, Shi Yu not only built a house for it, but also prepared food for it every day. The difference was obvious!

"Ji!"

You are.

The Green Silkworm affirmed.

"A promising child."

"Last question, why do you like to sleep so much?"

Shi Yu was actually quite puzzled. He had studied the Green Silkworm relatively deeply. After all, he had been dealing with Green Silkworms almost every day during his three months as an intern breeder.

Normal Green Silkworms weren't this sleepy.

Sleeping...?

The Green Silkworm crawled around in place, as if thinking about how to explain it.

But it didn't need to explain it too clearly, because Shi Yu had telepathy, so Shi Yu could roughly infer it.

"Because... you can enter another world... you don't have to worry about food... you don't have to worry about escaping from enemies... you're free... in your favorite form... in various places...?"

After repeating it, Shi Yu was stunned and said, "Are you referring to dreaming?"

"It should be dreaming..." Shi Yu was wondering why this bug was so sleepy. It turned out that it didn't like sleeping, but liked daydreaming.

But can insect-type pets like Green Silkworms dream?

Shi Yu knew that some animals could dream in his previous life, but there were also a large number of animals that couldn't dream. In this world, where creatures had evolved to this level, it didn't seem strange for a bug to dream.

Shi Yu stretched out his hand, and the Green Silkworm slowly crawled up.

"Do you want me to give you a name?"

"Forget it, I'm terrible at naming things. Let's just keep calling you Silkworm."

From the fact that he directly named Eleven "Eleven," you can see how terrible Shi Yu was at naming things. If he gave the Green Silkworm a name, he was afraid that he would come up with strange names like "Shi Two," "Little Green," or "Little Green."

Silkworm was pretty good, a duplicated word, very cute.

"Ji..." The Green Silkworm was speechless.

"Forget it, these aren't the most important things."

Now that the Green Silkworm could communicate normally, Shi Yu suddenly felt relieved, because he didn't have to struggle with the Green Silkworm's evolution route alone anymore.

Right now, it had also reached level ten of awakening, and the next stage of skills was divine. Before its short lifespan ended, it had to pupate and evolve quickly.

While ensuring sufficient potential, he decided to give the Green Silkworm some autonomous choice, allowing it to eliminate some options for itself.

The Green Silkworm would decide which types it wanted to evolve into, and then he would find a way, so that he wouldn't be like a headless fly wanting everything.

Shi Yu took out his phone, then put the Green Silkworm on his shoulder, and under its confused expression, he opened a page.

"I'll start by introducing you to various attributes... You fill in your first, second, and third choices, and we'll see what happens in the end."
