Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract

"Are you okay?" Mo Xu rushed forward and helped Xiu Xiu onto his arm.

"I'm still a little anxious." He was a little annoyed and checked Xiu Xiu's condition.

"It's okay," Xiu Xiu raised her little hand weakly, "Gen was trying too hard and I suddenly couldn't stand."

Mo Xu was thankful in his heart: "Not bad."

Xiu Xiu saw Mo Xu's worry and said considerately, "I feel fine. I didn't feel any danger when I was compressing the energy just now, otherwise I wouldn't have continued."

Oh, by the way, I forgot that Xiu Xiu also has the god-level characteristic of seeking good fortune and avoiding danger.

"Why did we fail again?" Mo Xu recalled the situation just now: "Could it be that we are still not strong enough even though we are in this state? It's just a mid-level regular skill, is it so exaggerated?"

Ge You, lying on his back, agreed: "Yes, and I clearly felt that I was about to succeed, but in the end I always had a weird feeling."

"What does it feel like?" Mo Xu asked. He also wanted to know what went wrong.

“Hmm,” Xiu Xiu didn’t know how to describe it. “It’s very strange. For example, it’s like downloading an anime and it crashes after 99% of the download.”

"......"

How much anime have you watched while resting at home?

Complaints aside, Xiu Xiu's description was very appropriate, and Mo Xu understood it all at once. Since the cultivation process seemed to be fine, the problem could only be with Xiu Xiu himself. Could it be that his energy was too low?

Mo Xu glanced at Xiu Xiu's current panel.

"Five-leaf Clover"

Rank: None

Attribute: wood

Energy value: 58.1

Features: "Super Lucky" Luck value 500, possessing unparalleled good luck, avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune, greatly increasing your own success rate.

[Wood Affinity] has a certain affinity for wood energy, which increases the success rate of learning wood skills.

Xiuxiu's energy is now within the "normal" range, and he can already handle the "Wooden Armor Technique" without using any assistance. The "Wooden Armor Technique" is already a high-level conventional skill. Now that he has these two major characteristics and his energy has skyrocketed, he should be able to handle this mid-level skill.

Mo Xu suddenly thought: "Could it be that there is a reason why Senior Sister said that we can't learn too many skills? It's not just a matter of efficiency?"

"Forget it, Xiu Xiu." Mo Xu picked up Xiu Xiu and said, "Let's not practice for now. Let's go eat."

Mo Xu planned to consult a master later, otherwise he might go astray if he continued practicing.

-

Mo Xu took Xiu Xiu to find a restaurant with a high rating, which was famous for its monster flavors.

Xiu Xiu is now lying on the small monster chair in the restaurant, eating a fruit plate. Inside the plate are specially provided fruits, which is the specialty. He devours the fruit piece by piece, and it is so delicious that he is almost crouching down.

Mo Xu was also very happy to see Xiu Xiu happy. This must be the fun of raising a cub.

He didn't eat much before calling Ju Conghan.

"Mo Xu?"

Ju Conghan's voice came from the phone.

Mo Xu asked politely, "Senior Sister, are you free? I want to ask you something."

"When you have time, ask me."

There seemed to be some noisy sounds over there, but they gradually faded away. I guess Ju Conghan was looking for a quiet place.

"Sister, this is the case. My monster is learning "Giant Extreme", but it always feels a little off. Sister, I want to ask if this skill is difficult? Or is there any special technique?"

"Giant Extreme? That shouldn't be the case." Ju Conghan said with some confusion: "This skill should be okay for beginners to learn. It's nothing special. My monster learned it in five days..."

Ju Conghan's voice suddenly changed direction when he said this: "That's not right. I've only been gone for three days, and you've only just arrived."

"Ah? Is that so?"

"Yes," Ju Conghan said patiently, "Before you reach the intermediate level of transcendence, it is difficult to learn your first skill. Don't be discouraged. And... I remember your spiritual power is not high, so you have to be more patient."

After hearing what Ju Conghan said, Mo Xu fell silent. He wanted to say that this was actually the second skill he learned, but that would be too outrageous, and he didn't know whether he should say it.

Is it really because the practice time is too short and no results are achieved?

“Uh…” Mo Xu laughed out loud: “I understand, Senior Sister. I will try my best.”

Seeing that Mo Xu accepted it humbly, Ju Conghan was very satisfied and asked, "How far have you practiced? Describe it to me."

Mo Xu recalled what happened in the morning and described it in detail: "Today I saw the shadow on Xiu Xiu's body showing signs of multiplication, but the body stopped just as it showed signs. Is there something wrong?"

"Eh? The phantom is multiplied? That makes sense, the phantom is caused by energy, which means that the energy is sufficient, the skill of "Giant Maximization" is also activated, and then the body will be multiplied. You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Ju Conghan's voice was filled with surprise. On the one hand, he was puzzled by this phenomenon, and on the other hand, he was amazed at Mo Xu's speed in learning skills.

"It's absolutely genuine, Senior Sister."

"Hmm," Ju Conghan on the other end of the phone also fell into deep thought: "It shouldn't be."

Seeing that the other side was also silent, Mo Xu couldn't suppress his inner doubts and tried to ask: "Senior Sister, do you think this is because this is the reason why I learned the second skill?"

Ju Conghan was silent at first, then her voice suddenly became louder, completely losing her usual ladylike demeanor.

"What did you say?!"

Even Xiu Xiu, who was eating the Qingxin Fruit, was startled by the sudden sound and her fork shook.

"You said this is the second skill you learned? And you have learned it to this extent?" Ju Conghan couldn't believe it.

If she remembered correctly, Mo Xu's energy value was extremely low. That lucky clover was not even extraordinary, right? Being able to touch the threshold of the first skill was enough to say that he was gifted, which made her look at him with new eyes. However, after learning one, he spent another three days to practice "Giant Extreme" to the virtual shadow multiplication.

This is simply unimaginable. Even the fairy beast cubs in ancient books cannot do it, right?

She couldn't help but ask, "Did you have any adventures these days, or did you feed some natural treasures?"

Mo Xu replied weakly: "No."

"You're such a monster, you lucky clover."

Hearing Ju Conghan's sigh, Mo Xu didn't expect that Ju Conghan would be so shocked. If he had known, he would have concealed his shortcomings. However, since he had already said it, he could only ask to the end: "Senior Sister, can you tell me in detail, is there any saying about the number of skills?"

Ju Conghan calmed down and explained, "There are limitations on the skills that monsters can learn. The later you learn a skill, the harder it is to learn. The difficulty of learning the next skill will be several times that of the first one. Of course, this limitation is different for each race and each individual, and there are differences in levels."

"But generally speaking, most monsters can only learn their first skill when they are at the middle level of the extraordinary. This is because when the spiritual power value is too low, it is impossible to communicate and resonate with the extraordinary energy. If skills are likened to a bridge built by extraordinary energy, then weak monsters will not be able to make such precise use of them. As the spiritual power value continues to rise, the difficulty of learning skills will become lower and lower."

"Except for the racial skills and innate skills that some high-level monsters have, it is difficult for extraordinary monsters to learn more than two skills. The same is true for higher levels. Therefore, skills should be selected based on the training plan of the beastmaster and the overall quality of the monster in order to achieve one's own tactical strategy. Otherwise, they can be learned at random."

Mo Xu suddenly realized that he had never expected that the energy of the monster beasts really limited the frequency of learning skills. That's right, otherwise everyone would learn all the skills at once, which obviously didn't make sense.

From this perspective, the "Giant Extreme" recommended by Ju Conghan from the beginning is obviously the most cost-effective skill.

Mo Xu asked, "Will this kind of restriction definitely fix the number of skills that monsters can have?"

Ju Conghan on the other end of the phone shook his head and said, "Not really. The in-depth explanation could be published in dozens of top journals, but there is no final conclusion yet. In layman's terms, this restriction is a rough estimate for every monster, but it varies for each individual. For example, your lucky clover is obviously an outlier. But even if it is an outlier, it is not completely unrestricted. It is because its spiritual power value is not high enough that it has failed in its "Giant Polarization". "

At this point, Ju Conghan added, "Of course, if you are stubborn and insist on grinding over time, it is possible to break through the limit. For example, it is not uncommon for people at the Transcendent level to learn three or even four skills. However, this time is often enough to break through to the Spiritual level, so normal people would not choose to fight to the death. Although your monster beast is blessed by nature, I also suggest that you put it aside for a while and wait until you improve it. Maybe, practicing at the intermediate level of the Transcendent will be as easy as drinking water."

But Mo Xu was still a little unwilling to give up. After all, he felt that he was just one step away from success: "Okay, then I'll practice for two more days. If it still doesn't work, I'll give up and focus on increasing my energy first."

Ju Conghan's forehead twitched when he heard this. Is this human language? Using "day" as a unit of measurement to break the limit, what would other hardworking practitioners think?

But on the other hand, she is more optimistic about Mo Xu's future. This junior brother who is also a pioneer may go very far in the future.

She gave a suggestion: "If you still want to try, you might as well look for Liu Yu from your school, he is a "polymath".

Mo Xu was slightly surprised: "'Scholar'? Liu Yu?"

"What, do you know me?"

"It happens to be my homeroom teacher..."

"That's quite a coincidence," Ju Conghan reminded again, "It's best not to spend too much time, and the more skills you have, the better. Remember, skills are a process, not a result."

"I understand. Thank you, Senior Sister. I won't bother you anymore."

After hanging up the phone, Ju Conghan couldn't help but feel that it was a bit magical. She ignored her busy official duties, walked out of the office to the database, and prepared to look through ancient books. Could it be that this lucky clover had the bloodline of some evil spirit in history?
