Approaching the start of the semester, Shi Yu and Eleven stayed up all night discussing the design of the evolution equipment.

In the end, they unanimously decided against fancy wings, shields, and other equipment.

Actually, the main reason was that the evolution armor, besides being strong and hard, didn't have any other special properties.

Even if they added wings, they would be impractical and wouldn't provide any assistance; they wouldn't really allow Eleven to fly like a bird.

This was probably why, in the historical images Shi Yu had seen, the Iron-Eating Beasts' armor only simply protected their weak points.

"Sigh, in the end, we're just poor, and the materials are limited." Shi Yu felt a pang of sadness after sending the evolution blueprints to Dean Hao.

Ultimately, it wasn't that they didn't want something fancy, but their funds didn't allow it.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be cool to have two cannons mounted to fire electromagnetic cannons? It seemed they could only simulate something like that with hardening matter later.

In fact, another important reason was that too much flamboyance didn't suit Eleven's fighting style.

Eleven didn't like fighting with weapons or shields; it preferred close combat with bare fists. Compared to electromagnetic cannons, it preferred Lightning Armor Mastery.

Considering Eleven's fighting style, perhaps it was better suited to an armor that almost completely enveloped its body.

In the end, Shi Yu combined the armor structure of Iron-Eating Beasts from Lin Master and others, as well as images of Rune War Bears, WarGreymon, Mechanical Bulls, Armored Mewtwo, and Iron Man from his mind, to design an evolution equipment that suited Eleven's fighting style as much as possible.

However, Shi Yu still hoped that there would be some scraps left over to make a metal alloy bullet or something for Eleven to use as a weapon for an electromagnetic cannon.

Currently, Eleven was of the Metal element, but because of the growth potential of max-level Hardening, Shi Yu planned to give it a second attribute in the future: Lightning.

He would have it cultivate one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, electromagnetism, which went well with the Metal element. Then, he would copy a super-level Lightning skill similar to "Heavenly Frost Chill" that could modify lightning power, and Eleven would be invincible.

"Dean Hao, about how long will it take to manufacture this set of equipment?" After a while, Shi Yu called Dean Hao back.

The other side pondered for a moment and estimated, "I'll try to finish it before the start of the semester, but are you really planning to have the Iron-Eating Beast multiply in size and wear a giant armor…"

"Yes."

Dean Hao thought that these young people were really rich these days; this was a billion's worth of evolution materials.

Wasn't it possible that after evolving, the Iron-Eating Beast would become a high-level monarch race, approaching the overlord race?

"I'll let you know when I have news; I'll notify you when it's done," Dean Hao said.

With such a vast amount of material, even with the assistance of mechanical life, it would take him some effort to forge it into alloy armor.

"Thank you very much," Shi Yu said repeatedly, thanking him. This way, he might be able to see Eleven evolve before the semester started.

Shi Yu looked forward to it a little.

Cultivation, cultivation… the most important thing now was cultivation.

After entrusting the matter of the evolution equipment to Gudu University, Shi Yu began to meditate wholeheartedly again.

About five days later.

More than half of Shi Yu's gray-textured Beast Taming Space barrier turned white under his meditation enhancement.

This meant that the strength of his Beast Taming Space had touched the threshold of level three!

Shi Yu was in a good mood and continued to cultivate with peace of mind.

Two days later.

Shi Yu had secluded himself in the dormitory of Gudu University for a week in total.

On this day, he slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath, not expecting everything to go so smoothly.

With the amplification of multiple buffs, his meditation efficiency had almost increased tenfold!

"Finally leveled up."

Feeling the significant improvement in his physique once again, Shi Yu was overwhelmed with excitement.

Beast Taming Space level three!

This meant that his physical limit had been raised again. With subsequent stat points, it probably meant that his physique would soon be comparable to a transcendent-level ferocious beast!

Besides that, he could finally contract the Ginseng Baby.

After contracting it, his physical recovery speed would be directly boosted by the Ginseng Baby, making stat point allocation easier and more efficient!!

The combination of the two was a very important transformation for him, and it also represented that he could afford to evolve Eleven and Worm!

"Where's the Ginseng Baby?" Shi Yu used the relic ring on his wrist to look for the Ginseng Baby in the relic space.

At this time, the Ginseng Baby was still practicing the Energy Fruit skill.

With its training and Shi Yu's stat points, it could now control the equivalent of Energy Fruit very well, creating large bombs or small bombs as it wished, without accidentally blowing itself and its opponent to smithereens on the arena.

During Shi Yu's week of meditation, he had also added stat points a few times because the Ginseng Baby was there, and his mental state was better.

[Name]: Ginseng Baby

[Skills]: Sweet Scent (Sublime), High-Speed Healing (Perfect), Nutrient (Proficient), Earth Chain (Sublime), Source of Life (Entry), Multiplication (Proficient), Absolute Sleep (Proficient), Energy Fruit (Skilled)

He raised the Ginseng Baby's Sweet Scent to the Sublime level and Energy Fruit to the Skilled level.

After that, the Ginseng Baby's energy value directly surpassed Eleven's!

The energy value amplification of a race skill at the "Skill Approaches Dao" level was still quite significant.

If he also raised one of the Ginseng Baby's race skills to the "Skill Approaches Dao" level, Shi Yu really suspected that its energy value would directly break ten thousand, reaching the standard of a commander level.

Currently, Sublime-level Sweet Scent didn't have much of an amplification effect on Shi Yu's recovery, but it could be used to make perfume and spices to sell for money. Shi Yu even wanted to max out Nutrient and sell it for money, so the whole family could work together to buy evolution materials for Worm.

"Yi??"

At this time, the Ginseng Baby, which was burying landmines and trying out various uses for Energy Fruit, saw Shi Yu enter and stood up curiously.

"Dig them all out for me." Shi Yu had a dark expression. "Don't bury landmines at home."

"Yi!!" The Ginseng Baby patted its chest. Don't worry, it won't explode even if you step on it; it's a timed bomb.

"Timed ones won't do either; dig them out for me too!"

Ginseng Baby: QAQ Yes, sir.

After the Ginseng Baby had dealt with all the Energy Fruit, Shi Yu sighed slightly.

It was really difficult to take care of a baby; a Beast Tamer could easily die if they weren't careful.

He glanced at the skill index. Super-level skills were still unteachable. He couldn't help but sigh even more. He would wait until his physique was maxed out before looking at it again.

The next moment.

Shi Yu and the Ginseng Baby's gazes met.

Shi Yu took a deep breath and said, "Are you ready?"

"Yiya?? (Ready for what?)" The Ginseng Baby was stunned.

"What else could it be? Contracting!"

At this moment, Shi Yu looked inward at the Beast Taming Space in his mind.

It was a world with white crystal walls and an interior like a sea of clouds.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

As Shi Yu communicated with the Beast Taming Space, countless points of light flickered in front of him, and a white-textured array appeared above the Ginseng Baby like a star map!

"Awoo oooo!!!" "Jiji ji!!"

At the same time, Eleven and Worm rushed over from the distance of the relic, looking excited.

As Shi Yu's contracted pets, they had sensed Shi Yu's breakthrough as soon as it happened.

Their growth would bring Shi Yu considerable benefits, and Shi Yu's breakthrough would also raise their growth limits!

"Ying!! (Don't resist.)"

"Ji! (Put your hands up.)"

Knowing the contracting process well, Eleven and Worm immediately reminded the confused Ginseng Baby after running over.

"Just relax," Shi Yu said with a smile.

Next, like Eleven and Worm, please give me your guidance.

In the next second, countless faint points of light flowed out of the array, and the points of light enveloped the Ginseng Baby, about to surround and cover it!

"Yi! (Come on!)"

After roughly understanding, the Ginseng Baby shouted, its expression firm.

After being contracted, it wouldn't have to worry about being made into soup, right?

It naturally accepted the contract, its whole body directly enveloped in white light and gradually turning into fluorescence, disappearing into the outside world and entering Shi Yu's Beast Taming Space!

The third pet, Ginseng Baby, contracted successfully!

Shi Yu happily looked inward at the Ginseng Baby in the space and felt the feedback it was giving him after being contracted.

But the most important thing was that five more blank pages had been added to the skill index!

Now, there were 20 pages in total!

Excluding the deleted Insect Silk, Hardening, and Lightning Palm, there were fifteen skills recorded.

They were: Intimidation, High-Speed Healing, Super Vision, Absolute Sleep, Multiplication, Plant Control, Illusionary Image, Concealed Edge, Instant Transmission, Space Shackles, Void Concealment, Earth Chain, Sweet Scent, Heavenly Frost Chill, Energy Fruit.

And, five blank pages, ready to copy new skills at any time.

"Come out." Next, Shi Yu summoned the newly contracted Ginseng Baby from the Beast Taming Space.

At this time, as the translator for the three pets, the Ginseng Baby, Eleven, and Worm could understand each other's language through telepathy.

The Ginseng Baby, which had just come out of the Beast Taming Space, was still a little unaccustomed.

"Yi?"

"Ying!" "Ji!"

"Yi!!"

After the three pets communicated, they were instantly very excited.

Shi Yu also smiled and felt that he could start a new round of stat point allocation.

"But it's been a week, and I've even leveled up. Isn't Dean Hao finished yet?" Shi Yu suddenly thought of Eleven's evolution equipment.

"Dean Hao should be quite busy recently; let's wait a little longer."

There were only three days left until the start of the semester, and many freshmen had already arrived in Gudu.

As the dean of the Mechanical College, Dean Hao must be very busy. Shi Yu thought for a moment, took out his student card, and decided to copy a new skill for the Ginseng Baby first.

Next, it was time for high-intensity stat point allocation again. He had set his sights on a recovery and attack skill that was very suitable for the Ginseng Baby.

At the same time, it could also fill the defect that Energy Fruit only had one kind of Wood-type energy.

Many pets raised in the botanical garden of Gudu University knew this skill, and Shi Yu felt that he could copy it by taking a stroll there.

This ability was Accumulating Light Beam, a Light-type skill that was also very compatible with plant-type pets.

[Skill]: Accumulating Light Beam

[Skill Level]: Intermediate

[Introduction]: A Light-type skill that absorbs light energy and accumulates it in the body, allowing the light energy to be converted into physical energy or a light beam.

Shi Yu planned to teach this skill to the Ginseng Baby as well.

First, it could add another means of recovery, making the perpetual motion Ginseng even more perpetual motion, and freeload more natural power. Second, it could also add another attack skill.

This was another practical skill that served two purposes, but in terms of attack, it might be a bit tasteless.

For non-Light-type pets, because light energy was not easy to accumulate, and conversion also took time, it would probably take ten seconds to charge up before attacking once, so its practical value was low and, like Earth Chain, it was very dependent on the environment.

Even if it was trained to the Perfect level, Accumulating Light Beam would still need to charge and convert for a few seconds in a sunny environment, which was very slow.

But this was not a problem for Shi Yu. With proficiency at the Sublime level, would he still be afraid of not being able to instantly fire light beams?

"After learning it, besides ordinary bombs, the Ginseng Baby can also have flashbangs…"
