Having figured out the truth behind the stone statue's mutation, and with a large sum of money about to arrive, Shi Yu was overjoyed.

That day, he went to the Century Group's building, ready to splurge.

Century Group is a leading high-tech enterprise in the Ancient Kingdom of Dong Huang, with branches in almost all cities at the third level and above.

Shi Yu planned to buy a smartphone with a higher level of intelligence here.

Actually, when Lu Qingyi was around, Shi Yu had asked her if the organization would provide him with a phone.

And the answer he received was, of course, no.

She told Shi Yu to use part of the initial 10 million funds to buy one himself; at Shi Yu's level, there was no need to equip him with a special phone yet.

This was upsetting… but whatever, even buying a relatively intelligent phone would only cost 100,000, which was nothing compared to 10 million.

"Welcome, sir. How can I help you?"

As soon as Shi Yu entered the phone sales hall, a receptionist greeted him.

"I want to choose a phone."

"What are your basic needs?"

"It should be able to connect to the internet, have energy detection and a pet encyclopedia function."

After Shi Yu finished speaking, the receptionist immediately took out a silver-white phone from the counter and said, "How about this one?"

"This is the latest model from Century Group, the Illustrated m30, which contains information on 6029 pets and their skills. In addition, it can accurately detect the energy fluctuation levels of pets below the Extraordinary level."

"Its price is 99,998 yuan. If you choose this one, you can also get a 1,000 yuan discount if you buy it now."

"Can I try it out?" Shi Yu asked.

"Of course."

Shi Yu took the phone and found the encyclopedia function.

This encyclopedia function wasn't actually that magical; it was similar to the "scan" function on Earth's smartphones. It needed to use the phone's camera to target other creatures to work.

After opening the encyclopedia function, Shi Yu aimed the phone at a black and orange dog with a ferocious expression lying outside the hall. In just an instant, the phone began to broadcast.

[Name]: Mechanical Dog

[Attribute]: Mechanical

[Race Level]: Medium Extraordinary

[Growth Level]: Awakening Level Ten

[Race Skills]: Image Storage, Aura Detection, Current Bite, Self-Destruct

[Introduction]: Man-made mechanical life, used for guarding, tracking, and investigation.

Not only was there a voice broadcast, but the phone interface also displayed the specific information of the Mechanical Dog.

The information was relatively comprehensive, and detailed information about the skills could be accessed by clicking or voice commands.

[Skill]: Self-Destruct

[Skill Level]: High

[Introduction]: Detonates all the energy in the body, resulting in the user's death.

Shi Yu: "…"

This skill level is really high, but if he wants to copy it, will there be a bug?

See, touch… it's all self-destruction. What is he going to touch?

Forget it, forget it, anyway, Eleven and the Green Silkworm don't need this skill…

Because it had a basic energy fluctuation detection function, the Mechanical Dog's growth level was successfully detected.

Level Ten was quite high, just one step away from becoming an Extraordinary level creature.

"Very good."

Shi Yu said silently in his heart, the encyclopedia function was what he valued most.

Although he was considered a top student, he only knew the most about creatures with a race level of Extraordinary, and he couldn't even say he knew everything about them.

But with this phone, he could immediately find relevant information no matter if he encountered a high-race rare pet or a rare skill in the future.

Although he definitely had to continue studying to become an excellent Beast Tamer, using high-tech products could more or less make up for his shortcomings and take a shortcut.

In short, he thought this phone was great in every way, and the appearance was okay too, but… it was so expensive!

If he bought it now, his savings would be directly depleted.

It would be okay if the 10 million promised by Lu Qingyi arrived tomorrow, but if it didn't, he and Eleven would only have dirt to eat.

Roasted Dirt Rats.

I should have known to come tomorrow… Shi Yu once again deeply realized the shortcomings of his character.

Strong curiosity and a relatively impatient nature; this kind of personality is very suitable for courting death. No wonder he was the one who transmigrated.

"Never mind, I'm already here."

He had already given the rare evolution method, how could 10 million run away.

"Get me one," Shi Yu said to the receptionist.

"Okay, sir." The receptionist immediately smiled because it seemed like she could add a chicken leg to her dinner tonight.

…

After purchasing the phone and completing a series of procedures, Shi Yu left with a heavy heart.

However, he didn't rush home. Instead, he went to another company, Talent Group.

Talent Group and Century Group are two of the five major groups in the Ancient Kingdom of Dong Huang, and they have a wide distribution.

The latter mainly focuses on high-tech products, while the former mainly focuses on rare spiritual plants, minerals, pet food, and nutritional products.

Since he had already spent so much money, Shi Yu didn't mind spending a little more.

Eleven had been eating Iron Bamboo every day for nearly a month, which was enough. Although it also liked to eat it, Shi Yu planned to give it something better.

In the end, he bought some Level Two resources, Iron Heart Wood, which was also a recommended food in the Iron-Eating Beast breeding manual given by Lin Xiuzhu, even more advanced than Iron Bamboo.

Iron Heart Wood, as the name suggests, is wood with metal minerals inside, which can be regarded as spiritual plants with fillings, and is also one of the Iron-Eating Beast's recipes.

The attributes are the same, leaning towards metal and wood, which can effectively strengthen the Iron-Eating Beast's hardening ability and vitality.

This kind of ingredient provides more nutrients than Iron Bamboo. Generally, only Extraordinary level Iron-Eating Beasts would eat it as their staple food, otherwise it would easily lead to excessive nutrition.

That's what they say, but Shi Yu considered the consumption situation of his own Iron-Eating Beast… and felt that it was not a problem for it to consume all the nutrition, after all, its appetite was several times that of a normal Iron-Eating Beast.

As for the Green Silkworm, since it grows quickly, it wouldn't lack nutrition if he occasionally used the skill encyclopedia teaching, so Shi Yu didn't spend too much on it.

What he eats, the Green Silkworm eats, that's the bond! A bond that even Eleven can't enjoy!

Later, Shi Yu also planned to see if there were any more advanced tonics. After all, he was almost developing resistance to the Mind Clarity Capsules.

Moreover, the level of Mind Clarity Capsules was indeed not high… He would have money soon, so Shi Yu also planned to treat himself better. If he was good, then the pets could be good.

However, considering that the Mind Clarity Capsules at home had not been finished yet, Shi Yu finally decided to use them all up before looking for new alternatives.

After spending as much as he pleased, Shi Yu returned home feeling refreshed.

As usual, Eleven was pulling the Green Silkworm in daily training.

And Shi Yu himself, this time, in addition to meditation, could also lie in the yard and study with his phone.

After browsing for a while, because Shi Yu was registered under his Beast Tamer identity, he suddenly received a text message notification from the Pingcheng Beast Tamer Association for all apprentice Beast Tamers in Pingcheng District.

"The Pingcheng District Ruins have been opened. Those who are interested in exploring can sign up for the Beast Tamer Association's field combat experience assessment. Those who pass the assessment can obtain exploration rights. All gains within the ruins belong to the individual!"
