Light Spring Murmur

Chapter 48: Keep Pumping Money and Keep Feeling Great

Shi Yu was finally happy to see that Eleven had learned its first high-level skill.

Although super-level skills capable of moving mountains and overturning seas, and god-level skills capable of changing the world recorded only in myths and legends, were still far away, it was still a great improvement.

However, looking at the "Cooldown: 48 hours", Shi Yu fell into deep thought.

Instead of preparing lunch for Eleven and the others immediately, he picked up the bottle containing the Divine Bean again.

One Divine Bean offset 120 hours of weakness. If he took another one, would he immediately be fully recovered, even in a better mental state than before?

The instructions said... Divine Beans could be consumed repeatedly in large quantities when in a weakened state until a perfect state was restored.

He bought the lowest grade Divine Bean, so he didn't have to worry about overdoing it. It should be fine to eat two or three in one go.

Wonderful!

This was a pleasure that couldn't be enjoyed with synthetic drugs like the Mingshen Capsule.

However, Shi Yu hesitated as he was about to eat the second Divine Bean.

The effect of the Divine Bean was significantly greater than the 48-hour weakness period. Wouldn't it be a waste to eat it directly?

The instructions didn't say whether it could be split in half. If he just ate it like this, he would be wasting tens of thousands of dollars, give or take.

"The price of a Divine Bean is 100,000 yuan."

"A ginseng baby's whisker is 50,000 yuan."

"So, perhaps I can switch to another supplement next."

"No, even a ginseng baby's whisker isn't safe."

Shi Yu took out the Queen Bee's royal jelly, which was also in a small bottle.

Although the Queen Bee had the word "Queen" in its name, it wasn't a King-level creature, but only a Commander-level creature.

This kind of creature grew by absorbing the nectar of different exotic flowers.

The so-called royal jelly had many other names, such as bee's milk, which was also a supplement in his previous life.

As for this world, its nourishing effect was even greater.

Shi Yu found his wolfberry water cup, poured out the contents, and began to brew a different supplement.

Although this small bottle of royal jelly was worth 300,000 yuan, it could be used many times. It could be taken orally after being mixed with warm water.

So, theoretically speaking, using this supplement first would allow him to control the amount best, striving to waste nothing.

Shi Yu mixed one-third of the royal jelly into a large cup of water.

After mixing it thoroughly, he took a sip and waited.

This took effect much slower than the Divine Bean. Shi Yu waited for several minutes before his body reacted a little.

[Cooldown]: 46 hours

Taking a small sip directly reduced the weakness period by 2 hours.

Shi Yu was immediately excited.

"It's good to be rich!!!"

It had to be said that you get what you pay for. The Mingshen Capsules he could buy in ordinary pharmacies simply didn't have this effect!

The Mingshen Capsules only relied on the effects of the drug to forcibly restore his spirit, and the cooldown time couldn't jump around on the big numbers like this. At most, it only assisted recovery.

How could it be like now... with the cooldown time jumping around on the big numbers, it was as if Shi Yu was seeing a new life.

He wouldn't go to that pharmacy again in the future. He wouldn't have to endure the strange looks of the shop assistants anymore.

"Glug, glug—"

Shi Yu took another gulp and carried the water cup with him.

He planned to clear the cooldown time today and then teach a skill again in the evening.

It was so good to spend money; the teaching efficiency was immediately improved.

It seemed that Eleven and Qing Mianchong wouldn't be able to enjoy too much of this 10 million starting capital. It was more cost-effective to save it all for buying supplements.

He was probably the only Beast Tamer who could bring out the effects of these supplements like this.



That night, Shi Yu drank almost half a cup of happy water.

His teaching cooldown time was finally cleared.

Shi Yu was happy, but not too happy.

Because brewing this cup of happy water used up one-third of his royal jelly. Half a cup was worth about 50,000 yuan.

However, it only restored 48 hours of weakness.

The Divine Bean, worth 100,000 yuan, restored a full 120 hours.

It was immediately clear which was more cost-effective.

"It's not quite right to calculate it this way. After all, the Divine Bean is mainly a supplement to restore physical strength and energy, while royal jelly has similar effects and can also prevent diseases."

Shi Yu was too lazy to calculate. The problem now was that he had taken too many supplements all day, and he was probably going to have trouble falling asleep again.

"As expected, insect silk should still be the first choice for teaching skills at night."

"The eight-hour or so weakness period of insect silk is perfect for falling asleep."

Shi Yu decisively went to find Qing Mianchong again and taught it insect silk for the fourth time after mastering the skill.

The proficiency increased, but there was no qualitative change.

It seemed that he had to continue teaching if he wanted to achieve perfect-level insect silk.

"It doesn't matter. I'll just rely on teaching a bit of insect silk every night to fall asleep in the future. I estimate it will soon be max level."

"It can both increase the proficiency of insect silk and prevent insomnia and staying up late, promote sleep, and ensure physical and mental health. It's a complete win."



August 2nd.

Morning.

Shi Yu took out another Divine Bean and the remaining half bottle of happy water, planning to teach Eleven another high-level skill.

"Eleven."

After morning exercises and breakfast, Eleven was called over by Shi Yu again, which made it a little uneasy.

To be precise, it had a bad feeling.

As expected, under Eleven's gaze, Shi Yu's right hand lit up again.

"Ying!"

What was it this time?

The little Iron-eating Beast covered its eyes.

"This time it's a skill that can increase training efficiency."

[Skill]: Absolute Sleep

[Skill Level]: High-level

[Introduction]: A mental skill that allows oneself to enter a super deep sleep to quickly restore various states.

[State]: Teachable

The Absolute Sleep skill seemed to have unimpressive effects, but it was actually very powerful.

In fact, the state that pets entered after entering the Beast Taming Space was similar to this Absolute Sleep.

It could be said that if a wild pet mastered this skill, it would almost be equivalent to carrying a Beast Taming Space with partial functions.

Moreover, it was still a Beast Taming Space with a not-low level.

Generally speaking, even entry-level Absolute Sleep should have a greater effect on a pet's physical recovery than a trainee Beast Tamer's Beast Taming Space.

If Eleven learned this, it basically wouldn't need to return to Shi Yu's Beast Taming Space to rest, except for some special situations.

Unless, Shi Yu could raise the level of the Beast Taming Space.

However, Shi Yu always felt that his speed of upgrading the Beast Taming Space might not be as fast as Eleven's speed of increasing the proficiency of Absolute Sleep.

In short, after teaching Eleven this skill, as long as his food supply was sufficient to ensure its nutrition, coupled with Absolute Sleep and High-Speed Healing, Eleven could train independently, and the training efficiency would be very high.

At the same time, with Eleven not relying on the Beast Taming Space to rest, Shi Yu, the Beast Tamer, would have more time and energy to strengthen the Beast Taming Space, thereby improving his Beast Tamer level.

This was very right... Beast Tamers should grow together with their pets.

Otherwise, it would be awkward if Eleven was already transcendent, but his Beast Tamer level was still that of a trainee.

"Awu—"

After Shi Yu introduced the skill, Eleven opened its eyes.

This skill was good!

"Not only that, this skill can also be used in battle when its proficiency is high."

Low-proficiency Absolute Sleep restores physical strength relatively slowly and inefficiently, but high-proficiency Absolute Sleep might only require a short sleep to restore a lot of physical strength.

"When the time comes, when encountering enemies, just use Multiplication, Hardening, and Thunder Palm to rush up."

"If you get injured, use High-Speed Healing to treat yourself."

"If you run out of physical strength, quickly shrink and then sleep. After being woken up, continue fighting. Did you learn it?"

Eleven nodded frantically, understanding everything immediately.

It learned it, it learned it. This tactic was really good.

That day, Shi Yu took Divine Beans, drank happy water, and watched Eleven train and recuperate on its own.

And he summarized a life lesson: keep spending money and keep being happy.



After having money, both Shi Yu and the two pets were obviously doing much better.

He taught two high-level skills in just two days, and he could still use insect silk every night. This was something Shi Yu wouldn't have dared to imagine before.

On August 3rd, Shi Yu originally wanted to repeat yesterday's routine and teach Intimidation as well. However, even with supplements, Shi Yu couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed after squandering his body like this for two consecutive days.

It was a psychological factor.

"Forget it, I'll take a break today and teach a low-level skill to relax."

In addition, he had promised to visit the Zhushi Martial Arts Center when he had time, but it had been two days and he hadn't set off yet. It was time to go and take a look.

After all, the Martial Arts Center seemed to have prepared training resources for the Iron-eating Beast. He shouldn't refuse free resources.

The Zhushi Martial Arts Center was also in Pingcheng. Shi Yu could arrive within half an hour by taxi. However, before going, Shi Yu first investigated the phone number of the Zhushi Martial Arts Center.

He planned to make an appointment before visiting, lest the person in charge wouldn't be there when he arrived, which would be meaningless...



Zhushi Martial Arts Center.

This was one of the strongholds of Iron-eating Beasts in the Eastern Ancient Kingdom.

The owner, Lin Hongnian, was a rare Master-level Beast Tamer in Bingyuan City.

Although he didn't obtain the title of Master-level by relying on Iron-eating Beasts, and his strongest pet wasn't an Iron-eating Beast, his representative pet was undoubtedly an Iron-eating Beast.

The Iron-eating Beast was the first pet Lin Hongnian contracted. Because of this relationship, he had always hoped to find better breeding methods for Iron-eating Beasts, or even evolution methods.

Unfortunately, restricted by its race, it was always difficult for the Iron-eating Beast to break through a certain bottleneck.

Even though he had researched two non-racial skills that were very suitable for Iron-eating Beasts to learn, it was still the same.

Over time, even though Lin Hongnian contracted stronger pets, he couldn't let go of this idea.

In the end, Lin Hongnian didn't give up. Based on inheriting the family's Iron Bamboo breeding base, he chose to open the Zhushi Martial Arts Center and recruit disciples widely.

Beast Tamers who contracted Iron-eating Beasts could join the Zhushi Martial Arts Center to study.

Talented apprentices even had the opportunity to come into contact with the secret manuals of Thunder Palm and Cannon Fist skills.

He hoped that by doing so, he could cultivate more powerful Iron-eating Beast Beast Tamers. When there were more people cultivating Iron-eating Beasts, perhaps someone more talented than him could find a better cultivation path for Iron-eating Beasts.

Inside the training ground of Zhushi Martial Arts Center, ten apprentices of different ages were training with their Iron-eating Beasts.

Zhushi Martial Arts Center only accepted trainee-level apprentices and provided basic training content.

Once they became professional Beast Tamers, they were considered to have graduated. However, there were also apprentices like Little Bear Yan Qi who failed the professional assessment and gave up halfway.

Of course, this was for ordinary apprentices. For talented apprentices, the owner, Lin Hongnian, would accept them as personal disciples and teach them earnestly without reservation.

Unfortunately, until now, apart from his own daughter, no Iron-eating Beast Beast Tamer had been able to enjoy personal disciple-level instruction.

Although he had cultivated a bunch of professional Beast Tamers, Lin Hongnian still hadn't found a disciple worth teaching with all his strength.

Until Lu Qingyi found him and entrusted him to help take care of someone.

Since he had agreed to the entrustment, regardless of that person's talent, Lin Hongnian would definitely teach with all his strength. After all, his two intermediate-level skill manuals were nothing compared to someone like Doctor Lu.

Then, Lin Hongnian heard about Shi Yu from Little Bear Yan Qi.

Mastery-level Hardening in less than a month.

A genius!

And he was related to a proud daughter of heaven like Doctor Lu. His future prospects were immeasurable, and it was entirely possible for him to cultivate the Iron-eating Beast to the King level.

Even without the relationship with Lu Qingyi, he would have to teach such a genius Beast Tamer with all his strength.

That's what Lin Hongnian thought at first.

However, when Little Bear Yan Qi told him that Shi Yu and the others had learned Thunder Palm in a day, Lin Hongnian understood.

Sorry, he wasn't worthy.

He also wanted to know how to learn Thunder Palm in a day with an Electric Slime and an Electric Ore.

"Father."

On the high platform of the training ground, Lin Xiuzhu looked at her father, who was looking at the training ground below, and said in a low voice, "Let's go out to eat at noon. Let's go to the Dragon Palace Fish Village."

Lin Hongnian frowned and said, "Have you completed your daily training?"

"Ah..." Lin Xiuzhu was speechless.

Lin Hongnian looked at this disobedient daughter and felt a pang of regret.

Originally, under his guidance, Lin Xiuzhu had passed the professional Beast Tamer assessment at the age of eighteen and had a bright future. Maybe she could surpass him and cultivate the Iron-eating Beast to the King level.

However, who knew that Lin Xiuzhu would actually choose the breeding major and also take courses in the evolution research department, wanting to study the evolution methods of Iron-eating Beasts.

He didn't know what he was thinking when he agreed to it at the time. The result was... Lin Xiuzhu didn't do well in either field. Her strength declined, and she didn't research any results on the evolution path.

"Wait until you finish your training," Lin Hongnian said sternly.

"But my mother wants to eat fish," Lin Xiuzhu said. "Not me."

Lin Hongnian was silent for a moment.

"This is the last time. You can't neglect training in the future."

Lin Xiuzhu: "..."

While the father and daughter were discussing what to eat for lunch, a martial arts center apprentice rushed over.

"Master Lin, a Beast Tamer named Shi Yu said that he might come to visit today and asked if you have time."
