Beast Tamer: Why is the intelligence system a game announcement?

Chapter 44 The Evolutionary Sequence of the Illusionary Insects, The First Battle of the Ghost Bone

Life seems to be getting unbearable.

An hour later, Lin Wu thought to himself with melancholy as he headed to the secret realm audition site.

Then, he looked at the psychedelic insects following him, and then at the ghost bone dragon slacking off in the beast taming space, and sighed.

"I still can't get rid of the bugs."

He said earnestly to the psychedelic insect, "The new elf is disobedient, so we can't delegate tasks to him. You'll have to do it yourself."

The psychedelic insect tilted its head back with a look of utter despair, completely at peace.

"It's okay, things will be easier for you after you evolve."

Lin Wu thought for a moment, looked at the crystal ball in her hand, and then comforted the hallucinogenic insect.

"babble?"

The hallucinogenic insect waved its forelegs blankly, and Lin Wu understood its meaning through telepathy.

"Uh, you're asking me if that means I'll have to do even more work?"

Lin Wu's eyes twitched. After a moment of silence, she chuckled and said, "Well, who knows..."

For a moment, the hallucinogenic insect was speechless. Lin Wu, on the other hand, looked awkwardly at the crystal ball in her arms, praying that the train would arrive at its destination soon.

However, as Lin Wu gazed at the crystal sphere, a wave of emotion stirred within him.

The crystal sphere in his hand was none other than the carrier of the psychedelic insect's evolutionary sequence!

The origin of the crystal spheres dates back to an hour ago.

At that time, Lin Wu had just received the mission from Bai Su.

Or rather, Bai Su told him what to do if he wanted to seize the opportunity to evolve the psychedelic insects and train the Qingyuan Meditation Method.

That is, to seize the entire secret realm in a way that is almost like taking it for oneself!

The reason lies in the nature of these two things.

In this world, if elves want to evolve, they need to improve their status within the ecosystem, which requires materials and rituals based on those materials.

These constitute the evolutionary sequence. Once the evolutionary sequence is filled, the Pokémon can enter the designated ecological sequence within the ecosystem, thus continuously climbing upwards.

According to Bai Su, the best material for the evolution of the hallucinogenic insect is butterfly silk.

In other words, the materials that Zhang De gave to Lin Wu.

So, all Lin Wu was missing was the ceremony.

It was at this moment that Bai Su gave Lin Wu this crystal ball. It could be considered an altar for an evolution ritual; as long as the requirements within were met, evolution could be achieved.

Thinking of this, Lin Wu looked at the crystal ball, and information naturally appeared in the Beast Taming Space.

[Psychedelic Bug Evolution Sequence, Advanced Stage]

【Materials: Butterfly silk】

[Ritual: By binding oneself with silk threads, consuming the ecosystem within the cocoon, and hiding among the crowd, one can break free of the cocoon and become a butterfly, ultimately achieving the butterfly destiny of three lives and three fates.]

[Ceremony Progress: None]

This is the evolution of the psychedelic insect that Lin Wu ultimately chose.

In other words: First, you spin a cocoon, then absorb the power of the ecosystem, then hide in a place where no one can find you, break free of the cocoon and become a butterfly, and you've evolved by ascending into the ecosystem!

The final advanced ecological niche it points to is the "butterfly" niche in the insect family, a niche that specializes in tankiness and flexibility!

Once it evolves, the vitality of the psychedelic insect will reach a terrifying level, and its survival strategy will be fully realized!

The most troublesome part is probably the ecological aspect.

First, a vacant ecosystem needs to be found so that the psychedelic insects can ascend into it with the help of the ritual and achieve evolution.

This is precisely why Bai Su sent Lin Wu to the secret realm.

Because the most precious resources in the secret realm are not anything else, but the ecosystems that have become ownerless after their original owners perished!

Evolution requires an insect-type ecosystem for ascension, and the larger the better. However, ecosystems of other attributes are also useful; the ritual's requirement to consume ecosystems of other attributes within the cocoon involves eating them. The more diverse the consumption, the better, and the larger the better!

And so, Lin Wu received that hellish mission...

Go and pack up the entire ecosystem from the secret realm and bring it back to us!

In this way, the psychedelic insect can achieve its most perfect evolution.

The difficulty was a little much higher, so much so that Lin Wu felt a bit dizzy. Unfortunately, at that moment, Bai Su told him, "It's okay, there's an even bigger one."

There's also the next stage of training in the Kiyohara Meditation Method!

Isn't that a coincidence? What it needs is also the ecosystem!

According to Bai Su, the Qingyuan Meditation Method is indeed not just about training mental strength. It can also directly enhance the quality of the Beast Taming Space, bringing it to another level.

Lin Wu hadn't looked at the specific methods yet; they were in a document on his phone. But the requirements were very clear.

He wants to absorb the energy from the destruction of the ecosystem in order to rebuild his spiritual power and beast-taming space.

So here's the problem: if you're going to force everyone in the secret realm to hand-feed the insects, and then destroy the ones that aren't fed, will everyone else be happy about that?

Thus, Bai Su made her second request.

Could you clear the area while you're at it?

Lin Wuren felt numb.

Clear the area? Me? Me?

Weren't they supposed to be the pride of the nation from Jianghai Province?

Even though there's a cheat code, I haven't been developing for very long!

But now, for the sake of the evolution of the psychedelic insects and his own mental strength, and even for the sake of taming the Ghost Bone Dragon as soon as possible, Lin Wu had no choice but to grit his teeth and go for it.

He sighed softly and carefully put the crystal ball away.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to pass the preliminary selection and obtain the qualification to enter the secret realm.

According to Bai Su, as long as she passes the preliminary selection, she will prepare some rewards for Lin Wu after returning home, as a way to increase investment.

In her words, "Zhang De is so generous, that's perfect, I should increase my investment too."

In other words, we are determined to win this preliminary selection!

Such a thought flashed through Lin Wu's mind, and just then, the train arrived at the station.

He immediately got out of the car and then directly experienced just how popular the audition was.

"How many people are here!"

Looking at the sea of ​​people in front of him, Lin Wu was momentarily stunned, and then his eyes twitched.

Are there that many beast tamers in Ningcheng?

Just as Bai Su said, beast tamers from all over Jianghai Province were rushing here, not knowing what kind of opponents they would encounter...

As Lin Wu was thinking this, she was about to squeeze into the crowd in front of her when she noticed a figure that surprised her.

The man ran out of the crowd in a disheveled state, muttering something under his breath. For a moment, Lin Wu's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"Zhang Shun?"

He asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Shun's face froze instantly. He looked at Lin Wu and cursed inwardly.

Misfortune never comes singly. Of all times, I ran into this guy when I was already in a sorry state and defeated!

"You're also trying out the audition?"

He looked at Lin Wu and frowned. Lin Wu looked at him, then understood.

"You just lost and came out? Is the competition that fierce in there?"

Zhang Shun's face froze again. He gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and shouted at Lin Wu:

"How can you call it a loss when it comes to beast tamers!"

"If it weren't for the ban on using advanced-level Pokémon, and only Pokémon that can be brought into the Secret Realm were allowed to participate in the preliminary rounds, how could I possibly have lost?"

"I had a four-game winning streak in the Swiss rounds, just one more game away from advancing, but then I ran into that monster in first place... and you too, what bad luck!"

He clicked his tongue, glared at Lin Wu, and quickly left, seemingly ashamed.

Lin Wu was speechless for a moment, but then sighed inwardly. Zhang Shun had also lost; the intensity was probably a bit too high. If they could only use the hallucinogenic insects, it might be a bit dangerous.

Well, at least I understand the rules now.

He also glanced at the notice board next to him. Only beginner-level spirits that can be brought into the secret realm can use it. There are five battles in total, and you can only pass the preliminary selection if you score a certain level.

Judging from the intensity of the match, it seems like you'll need to win all five games to advance.

For a moment, Lin Wu felt a little uneasy, worried that the Ghost Bone Dragon might be stopped.

But soon, he followed the next wave of people into the inspection station where the elves were issuing preliminary selection qualifications.

........................

Twenty minutes later, Lin Wu held his number plate and listened to the announcement that his number was being broadcast and he was being asked to enter the arena for the match. A smile appeared on his lips.

I take back what I said earlier, Professor Bai, you are right!

Can Ghost Bone Dragon really participate in the preliminary rounds?

According to the machine's judgment, anyone who can enter the secret realm is acceptable.

While the Ghost Bone Dragon has advanced rank stats, it lacks the corresponding ecological niche for that advanced rank, so it can naturally pass the machine's test smoothly!

He exhaled softly, communicating with the Ghost Bone Dragon in his mind.

"Bro, give it your all later, it's all up to you!"

The Ghost Bone Dragon responded lazily, giving off an attitude of "Don't bother me unless there's a fight."

Lin Wu raised his head and walked straight into the brightly lit battlefield ahead.

Let's begin, the first battle of the Ghost Bone Dragon!
