After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Chapter 86: Chapter 83: New Skills in the Skill Tree

Back home, big sister hadn’t returned yet.

According to mom, she has another competition tomorrow, so she’s staying at the big hotel near the competition venue tonight and will come back tomorrow.

Chen Xing gave an “Oh,” nodding his head.

He felt a bit disappointed as he had been planning to find his sister.

There were some things he wanted to ask her.

Chen Xing poured himself some cool boiled water, drank it down, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand before heading back to his bedroom.

His father’s voice came from behind: “I watched the competition, and you performed brilliantly!”

…

Back in his room and lying on the bed, Chen Xing focused on the Skill Tree on the Stone Booklet.

Beginner Polishing Techniques and Beginner Waxing Techniques were new skills Chen Xing had activated the day before yesterday.

Because he needed to fill in at the last minute, with the idea that any increase in combat power was good, he’d simply used all his Skill Points to learn the only two skills that could directly increase his combat power.

Indeed, the polishing and waxing skills proved to be quite useful. Let’s not even talk about waxing, the improvements to speed and agility from the polishing skill were truly significant.

And these two skills were not one-time use!

They belonged to the State category of Skills, capable of lasting from one day to several days depending on the polishing and waxing effects.

After activating these two skills,

new skills appeared further down the Skill Tree.

[Beginner Manicuring Techniques] You’ve learned how to trim the nails of your Beasts, making them sharper and more convenient for hunting prey. (0/10)

[Beginner Hairdressing Techniques] You’ve learned how to dye the fur of your Beasts, which grants additional Attribute resistance to the corresponding Attributes after dyeing. (0/10)

These two skills also seemed pretty mystical.

Chen Xing felt that after learning these four skills, he could open a Beast-grooming, styling, polishing, and waxing shop in the city center.

Here it’s just mentioned to make the nails sharper.

There’s no specific standard for sharpness mentioned here, but considering the nature of these three skill trees,

Chen Xing believed that this skill wouldn’t disappoint.

But the required Skill Points were too many, so Chen Xing didn’t consider these two skills for the moment.

Better to save his Skill Points and diligently learn the Overcapacity Guidance Passive Skills.

In the Beast Taming Space, Taotie was eagerly staring outside.

“Ow ow,” Taotie howled, pacing restlessly in the Beast Taming Space.

The Beast Taming Space is a peculiar space that comes into being after a Beast Tamer contracts a Beast.

There is currently no accurate explanation for where this space exists.

Some say the Beast Taming Space is a subspace around the body of the Beast Tamer.

Others say all Beast Taming Spaces exist in another Dimension, and these spaces are interconnected.

Chen Xing moved the desk in the room to the corner and then summoned Taotie.

The summoned Taotie opened its mouth wide in excitement, looking quite cheerful and happy.

It’s only because I’m its owner. Anyone else seeing such a large crocodile open its mouth might wonder if the crocodile hadn’t eaten enough for dinner the night before.

“Are you full?” Chen Xing bent down, and only then did he notice that the big guy’s shoulder height had quietly grown to his waist.

He could just reach its head by stretching out his hand.

Taotie opened its large mouth, which was empty and pitch-black.

Today’s competition had used up a lot of energy, indeed.

“Alright, I know you’re hungry.”

Chen Xing went to the kitchen at home to heat up Intermediate Pet Food for him.

Usually, there was a large amount of prepared Intermediate Pet Food stored in the fridge.

Ah… Taotie’s appetite is getting bigger and bigger.

It’s eating more and more every day.

Using the pots at home to prepare its food, I’d have to cook several pots just to meet its daily consumption.

And Taotie’s size and weight are still increasing every day.

Could it be that one day 24 hours of cooking won’t be enough for its daily consumption?

Considering this possibility, a chill went down Chen Xing’s back.

Although that day hadn’t come yet, he had a sneaking suspicion that it might not be too far off.

So far, Taotie’s size was close to the limits of its ordinary counterparts, but it showed no signs of stopping.

It seems that its size is definitely evolving towards a super-large type.

The modified Intermediate Pet Food had improved its bloodline, elevating its potential.

What about combining the pet food I make with regular pet food bought from outside?

But that would definitely reduce the effectiveness.

So the best solution would be to find a type of meat that offered both nutrition and satiety.

But such meat was not likely to be cheap.

Chen Xing heated all the remaining meat in the refrigerator and fed it to Taotie. After feasting to its satisfaction, Taotie lay down in a ‘C’ shape on the floor.

Chen Xing used its warm and soft belly as a pillow, and the two protruding bone spurs on its side just perfectly supported his neck on either side, with his head resting on them. With both hands holding his mobile phone, he began searching for information online.

The results were not very promising, with too much spurious information online. Through the search, though, he did see a few rather superficial academic papers.

The meat from higher Energy Level beasts contained richer nutrients, which allowed Beasts to feel fuller more easily.

In one article, the state of fullness for Beasts was divided into two types.

One was nutritional fullness, the other was physiological fullness.

The higher the Energy Level of the Beast, the more high-nutrition food it required for healthy growth.

Therefore, higher Energy Level Beasts often had stronger digestive abilities, an innate gift developed over long evolutionary periods.

Stronger digestive abilities allowed them to eat more food, and to obtain more food, they also evolved stronger hunting abilities…

At this point, Chen Xing furrowed his brow, thinking, what is this nonsense? What kind of rubbish did you write?
