Light Spring Murmur

Chapter 2: Skill Compendium

What happened... Where did this illustrated handbook come from?

In a daze, Shi Yu received a lot of information.

This information appeared in his mind in the form of pictures and words that were relatively easy for him to understand.

After a moment of dizziness, Shi Yu's expression froze.

Because the stone illustrated handbook that appeared in his mind instinctively allowed Shi Yu to understand some of its functions.

This function was very Bug-like, comparable to a cheat.

The illustrated handbook was called the Skill Illustrated Handbook.

It could copy the extraordinary abilities of transcendent creatures and record them in the illustrated handbook. Shi Yu could freely teach the abilities recorded in the illustrated handbook to other transcendent creatures besides humans.

The reason why transcendent creatures were powerful was because they possessed various extremely special skills... Copying and teaching, how could it sound so unscientific? Could the abilities of mythical creatures also be copied and taught to ordinary pets?

The information fed back by the illustrated handbook stated that three conditions needed to be met to successfully copy the abilities of other transcendent creatures.

1. Seeing the other party use the ability with your own eyes.

2. Physically touching the other party.

3. Completing the process from seeing the skill to touching the other party within 1 hour.

These were the conditions for copying and recording skills.

And to teach skills to other creatures, certain conditions also needed to be met.

Depending on the level of the skill, a certain amount of the user's stamina would be consumed during teaching.

In addition, the target of the teaching needed to have a certain affinity with the skill...

There were quite a few restrictions, but Shi Yu was still silent. Although he was not yet a Beast Tamer, he could clearly see that this illustrated handbook for copying, recording, and teaching skills would definitely make all Beast Tamers drool with envy.

The strength of a Beast Tamer depended not only on the abilities of their pets but also on three other aspects.

The first was the development of their own Beast Taming talent and Beast Taming abilities.

For example, a Beast Tamer with a Flame Enhancement talent might have different ratios of skill power amplification for their pets depending on their degree of talent development.

The second was skill manuals.

The vast majority of pets could only awaken their own race skills. The race skills that could be awakened innately were an important reference for the race level of pets.

Whether a pet's combat power was strong or not, the strength of its skills was crucial.

Generally speaking, it was difficult for pets to learn skills other than their race skills.

Teaching pets skills other than race abilities was no less difficult than teaching a seven-year-old child to fly a plane. However, through some special teaching methods, pets still had a chance to learn other skills.

This kind of skill teaching method was like martial arts manuals in Wuxia novels, very precious, and could quickly improve the strength of a pet.

If a Beast Tamer mastered the teaching method of a powerful skill and successfully taught it to their pet, the pet could even defeat opponents across races and levels.

The third was the evolution method.

The vast majority of pets had the potential to evolve, but many evolution paths were very secretive.

Beast Tamers who mastered evolution methods could allow their pets' race level to take a step further and then awaken stronger race skills.

Among these three, the first was the Beast Tamer's development of their own abilities.

The second and third were the Beast Tamer's accumulation of knowledge and experience.

And Shi Yu's Skill Illustrated Handbook was almost equivalent to giving him access to a large number of skill manuals.

Skill Illustrated Handbook...

Is this... a system? Or my second Beast Taming talent?

Compared to the ethereal system, Shi Yu was more willing to believe that it was his second talent.

But isn't my Beast Taming talent telepathy?

And I've never heard of such a cheat-level Beast Taming talent.

I've also never heard of a person having two Beast Taming talents...

Shi Yu's inner emotions surged.

In just one second, he imagined countless possibilities.

But if it was him, it seemed possible?

As a transmigrator, he was not a normal person to begin with.

Shi Yu has a telepathy talent, what does it have to do with me, Shi Yu? It's very scientific for me, Shi Yu, to have another copying talent.

"In any case, calm down first—"

No matter how you look at it, this is a good thing. This seems to be my transmigrator's golden finger...

From shock to joy, Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

From the beginning, he had felt uneasy after realizing he had transmigrated, feeling that something was missing. Now he finally felt comfortable. The happiness of a transmigrator was so simple and unadorned.

"Crap, it's getting late."

After indulging in the shock of awakening the Skill Illustrated Handbook for a while, Shi Yu suddenly realized that it was already very late.

He put on his clothes and prepared to go to work in the morning. He didn't even plan to eat breakfast. At this time, Shi Yu certainly didn't want to work, but wanted to try out whether the ability he had just awakened was real.

With anticipation in his heart, Shi Yu quickly left the dormitory.

...

The Icefield City Pet Breeding Base was very large, involving environments such as lakes, grasslands, forests, and snow mountains... all places where different pets lived.

To take care of so many pets, there were also many employees in the breeding base. There was a huge employee area nearby, and the processing and transportation of various pet feeds were also carried out here.

Inside the base's feed factory, a large number of breeders were currently gathered, but due to the different task assignments, most people didn't have much interaction at the moment.

After arriving here, Shi Yu went to look for the feed he was going to transport. The goal was very clear, but after getting the feed, the specifications of the feed exceeded Shi Yu's imagination.

"No wonder ordinary people can't afford to be Beast Tamers. These pets eat better than people."

As Shi Yu walked out holding two heavy insulated boxes, he couldn't help but say in his heart.

Inside the insulated boxes were layers of fresh meat. There were at least seven or eight types of meat, and they looked like specially matched nutritional meals.

There was a floor of such insulated boxes in the room, all of which were the breakfast for the snow wolf group he was going to feed next.

"Shi Yu?"

"Are you going to feed the snow wolves?"

When Shi Yu was carrying the meat back and forth, someone saw the type of feed Shi Yu was carrying and suddenly stopped to tease him: "Those guys aren't friendly. Be careful."

"But then again, the infirmary at our breeding base is still very reliable..."

"Don't listen to his nonsense. With the Wolf King around, there's no danger at all." Someone else reassured Shi Yu.

"Just kidding, just kidding. We're done moving. Do you need any help?" The first person asked again.

Shi Yu looked at the two of them, feeling very sorry that he had no memory of them at all. He could only respond with an awkward but polite smile: "Thanks, but no need. I'll be done moving soon too."

After speaking, the three of them didn't continue chatting, since they all had work to do.

After the other party left, Shi Yu remembered that the reason for his predecessor's personality, caused by his family's experiences, was that he liked to be alone and didn't like to interact with people. Therefore, he didn't make friends in the new work environment immediately, nor did he integrate into different small circles. He was always a loner, so his interpersonal skills were very lacking.

No wonder, as a fellow intern, he didn't have much impression of other people at all. He didn't even remember their names... However, he remembered a lot of information about the pets in the breeding base.

Shi Yu shook his head. For the time being, this wasn't a bad thing. He should just maintain this state for now.

The most urgent task was to slowly familiarize himself with this world first. Socializing and other things could be put off until later.

Finally, after spending some time moving a carload of meat feed, Shi Yu started the transport vehicle and came to a snow mountain area alone. This was where the snow wolves lived.

After arriving at the destination, he parked the car, got out, and then moved the meat. Shi Yu quickly busied himself.

In the process, white mountain bodies in the distance of the snow mountain flashed with afterimages, and traces of dozens of giant wolves appeared.

"Awoo!!!"

"Awoo!!!"

A heart-trembling sound rang out. Accompanied by howls, the snow-white giant wolves on the snow mountain ran towards this side. At first, they were very fast, but slowly they turned to walking.

But even walking was extremely oppressive.

"Awoo!!!"

Each giant wolf was 2 meters long and nearly 1 meter tall. They were very well-developed. It was hard to imagine that they were just "cubs."

They had long white fur all over their bodies, and their tails, backs, and limbs were covered with very dense ice-blue fur.

As they walked, the giant wolves' blue pupils stared at Shi Yu, their fangs exposed, filled with cold air.

[Name]: Snow Wolf

[Attribute]: Ice

[Race Level]: High Transcendent

[Race Skills]: Ice Shattering Fang, Ice Cracking Claw, Snow Concealment, Cold Breath

[Introduction]: A beast-type Transcendent creature evolved in the snow mountain area. Its frozen fangs and claws can easily tear apart steel. It is extremely skilled at hiding and hunting in snowy weather.

Shi Yu had a good reserve of knowledge, and the specific information about this pet immediately appeared in his mind.

"Awoo!!!"

"Awoo!!!"

At this time, the giant wolves stared at Shi Yu with drool dripping from their mouths, their pupils glowing.

"Sure enough, they can understand."

As for Shi Yu, who was being watched by a group of snow wolves, he only felt very novel at this time.

Although he didn't need to think to know that these wolves were very hungry and wanted to eat, Shi Yu did hear them.

This feeling of knowing what the other party was saying... made him feel at ease and gave him a headache.

He felt at ease because he felt like they were on the same wavelength, and he had a headache because one of the wolves said it wanted to taste his flavor.

Damn it...

What kind of shitty job is this?

Did he come here to be a breeder or a backup ingredient?

"Where's the Wolf King?"

Shi Yu tried not to mind this kind of trash talk and looked further away, searching for his thigh.

"Roar!!!"

After this group of snow wolves arrived, they all stood in a row obediently, not daring to act rashly, not because they were afraid of scaring Shi Yu, nor because they were polite, but because their boss hadn't arrived yet.

Under a more intimidating roar, the wolf pack opened a path, and what walked over was an even larger snow wolf, more than three meters long and at least one meter six or seven tall.

"Roar!!!"

The Snow Wolf King of the snow wolf pack slowly walked out, locking its eyes on Shi Yu.

The other snow wolves looked at the Wolf King with fear and respect.

Snow wolves were highly social Transcendent species, and the Wolf King had supreme deterrent power.

Some Wolf Kings could even awaken a deterrent skill that could create a sense of oppression, used to lead the wolf pack.

This was not a basic race skill of snow wolves, but a high-level ability that required extremely harsh conditions to awaken after birth.

Under the deterrent force, the snow wolves were all extremely well-behaved and did not dare to act rashly, very orderly.

Obviously, the reason why trainee breeders like Shi Yu could safely come to feed this group of snow wolves was not because of any telepathic communication ability, but because of the Wolf King's deterrent force.

This Snow Wolf King was the pet of a Beast Tamer in the breeding base, responsible for assisting in managing the wolf pack.

Now, Shi Yu suspected that the owner of this Snow Wolf King was secretly watching his performance somewhere on the scene to score him...

However, the other party had a very high status in the entire breeding base, and this Wolf King was just one of the pets they had released for free-range rearing. They shouldn't be so bored as to pay attention to them, a group of interns.

Could this wolf be his grading teacher? Shi Yu's expression was strange.

Next, the Snow Wolf King indifferently approached step by step and came to Shi Yu's side.

Shi Yu tensed up internally, looking at this majestic giant wolf with a strange gaze.

The sense of oppression that this Wolf King gave him was completely incomparable to that of the ordinary snow wolves.

The deterrence revealed in the other party's gaze alone could make Shi Yu's heart beat faster.

At this time, the Wolf King was also looking at Shi Yu. It did not eat immediately, but surrounded itself with cold air and continued to approach Shi Yu.

Then, its body brushed past Shi Yu, and its head touched Shi Yu.

As a rule, the Wolf King would leave its scent on the trainee breeder, so that the scent would leave its unique deterrence on the trainee breeder. In this way, the snow wolves would be much more well-behaved during the feeding process.

When Shi Yu felt the coldness around him, he understood that he had been marked by the Wolf King.

Is this how you leave a scent?

It's more civilized than marking by urinating.

While Shi Yu was sighing with emotion, suddenly, his Skill Illustrated Handbook took effect.

Because the Wolf King had subconsciously released Deterrence just now, and also had contact with Shi Yu...

The extremely dramatic and smooth process made Shi Yu feel confused. He had been thinking about how to find an opportunity to copy the snow wolf's skills, but it turned out to be so simple?

Moreover, it was actually the Wolf King's high-level skill.

The first page of the illustrated handbook opened, with the image of the Snow Wolf King at the top.

Below was a pile of text.

[Skill]: Deterrence

[Skill Level]: High-Level

[Introduction]: A mental skill that can intimidate, deter, and command with aura, and can also cause creatures much weaker than itself to faint. It is a symbol of possessing the "qualifications of a king."

[Status]: No teaching target yet
