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

Chapter 18 Proficient-Level Insect Silk

However, the hallucinogenic bug ultimately failed to mount any resistance.

She looked up at Lin Wu, and finally swallowed the pill.

In the next instant, Lin Wu felt as if the telepathic connection between himself and the hallucinogenic insect had been established.

"babble?"

The hallucinogenic insect looked at Lin Wu, let out a cry, and tilted its head, seemingly finding it somewhat strange. Lin Wu, on the other hand, felt this sudden connection, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

After a moment of contemplation, he looked at the hallucinogenic insect and tentatively beckoned to it...

"Pfft!"

The next moment, a strand of silk naturally shot out from the mouth of the hallucinogenic insect and stuck to Lin Wu's finger. Without saying a word, Lin Wu simply ripped off the silk, his expression of surprise becoming even more pronounced.

He understood the effect of the enlightenment pill.

He carefully sensed the flow of spiritual energy just now. In the beast taming space in his mind, spiritual energy was circulating, trying to construct skill templates time and time again.

Despite repeated failures, Lin Wu's pupils grew brighter.

"Bug, let's continue."

He waved slightly, urging them on, his heart filled with joy.

This is the effect of the Enlightenment Pill!

Now, Lin Wu finally understood what this thing did... It forcibly increased the telepathic connection between himself and the hallucinogenic insects!

Then, under the influence of a higher level of telepathy, Lin Wu actually felt that the hallucinogenic insects were as if they could become an extension of his own limbs at that moment!

It's as if, the moment the command is given, it will travel directly to the hallucinogenic worm along the telepathic channel constructed by the enlightenment pill, thereby accelerating the release.

At least, at that moment, Lin Wu clearly felt that the release of the insect silk was almost instantaneous. The nearly one-second interval between issuing commands and using skills in the past was now reduced to almost nothing perceptible.

"This is... a special medicine to upgrade a skill to the proficient level, or rather, to initially construct a skill template!"

In an instant, Lin Wu made this judgment in his mind.

Because the faster issuance of skill commands and the shorter delays are precisely because the skill template improves the speed of telepathy, thus making the skill upgrade to the proficiency level a symbol!

So, after the initial feeling, Lin Wu immediately tried to mobilize the mental energy in his mind, following the feeling he had when he gave the order.

After experiencing the operation mode of mental energy when using a proficient-level skill for the first time, Lin Wu's thinking became much clearer.

He kept making the hallucinogenic insects use their silk threads, and then, as if deep in thought, he tried to construct the skill template in his mind, following that familiar feeling, without relying on telepathy.

At this moment, Lin Wu had a strange feeling.

Through repeated construction, he seemed to be gradually becoming more proficient.

It's as if every attempt isn't in vain, but rather a step forward in a definite direction, like a progress bar that's slowly filling up...

Suddenly, Lin Wu's expression shifted, and his pupils contracted slightly. In his mind, his mental energy gradually formed a stable circuit, but it did not collapse as before.

Instead, it flew straight out and was engraved on the crystal wall of the Beast Taming Space!

【Silkworm Silk (Proficient Level)】

I have mastered the advanced level skill template for Insect Silk!

Moreover, the moment the skill template was completed, Lin Wu felt that his mental strength had also increased, and his previous fatigue was swept away.

"This is... a breakthrough in my mental strength?"

"Is this medicine really that effective?"

As the effects of the medicine gradually wore off, Lin Wu's eyes still held a hint of surprise.

Based on the effects of this medicine, he felt that he could successfully construct a skill template and bring the corresponding skill to the proficiency level with just one dose!

If, at the beginner level of a trainee Beastmaster, one raises all of the Pokémon's skills to the proficiency level... just in terms of the initiative in battle, one would already be far ahead of others.

"It's probably not just the effect of the medicine. The mysterious feeling I had just experienced might also have played a part in it."

"However, regardless of the circumstances, the medicine's effectiveness is definitely worth its price, and even exceeds expectations!"

Lin Wu let out a long breath, her heart filled with joy.

Just then, a whistle blew across the playground, and Wang Jie's voice echoed throughout the entire playground.

"Class, come here! Before get out of class ends, we'll have a simple quiz to determine your current standing in the school."

"When the weekly test comes, it will be easier for everyone to have a clearer understanding of their progress and setbacks. Now, those whose names I call, please step forward!"

"Zhou Tong, Shen Shen, Lin Wu... you guys come out first."

He shouted, and for a moment, Lin Wu was stunned and looked up at Wang Jie.

The other person seemed to notice his gaze, glanced in his direction, and then indifferently looked away.

Lin Wu took a deep breath, stepped out of the group, and then stood in front of Wang Jie. Looking at the crystal in front of him, his expression became somewhat strange.

Why is the sense of déjà vu for this scene so strong?

Haven't I seen this scene in many novels? Is there going to be some kind of defensive power next, three stages?

"Pick up the crystal. It will show the strength of your mental power and beast-taming space. After all, you should know that mental power and beast-taming space are the fundamental factors that determine the strength of a beast tamer."

Wang Jie explained calmly to the group in front of him, while picking up a form: "An extra battle score will be added during the weekly test. The three scores will be your total score, with each item worth 100 points."

"Teacher Wang, what level is 100 points?"

Zhou Tong glanced at the crystal, then looked up and asked somewhat nervously.

Wang Jie glanced at Zhou Tong and spoke in a calm tone:

"Don't overthink it. 100 points is beyond your reach right now. 100 points in three subjects is the minimum standard for a professional beast tamer in the school's assessment."

"For newcomers like you, getting a 5 in mental strength and beast-taming space is already pretty good... But don't worry, your teacher will help you later. As long as you follow your teacher's training, I guarantee you'll easily score over 80 before the college entrance exam."

He patted Zhou Tong's shoulder forcefully and spoke meaningfully. Then, the people in front of him picked up the crystals and infused them with their spiritual energy.

The next moment, the scores began to appear automatically on the paper in front of them.

Wang Jie scanned them one by one.

Hmm, a mental strength score of 6 is not bad for a beginner who has only been practicing for three days... That one is 4, this one is 7... they're not far off.

Finally, his gaze settled on Lin Wu, a cold smile on his face.

Wang Jie noticed that the kid skipped class this morning.

But this was exactly what Wang Jie wanted.

They don't buy their own medicine, they don't pay attention in class, and even their elf chose something like a hallucinogenic insect... Once the scores come out, won't this set a bad example?

Wouldn't that demonstrate to these students the cost of not having to pay for medicine?

Isn't this money just popping up everywhere?

Then, his spirits lifted, and he looked at the form in front of Lin Wu with a hint of joy...

Then, I was completely bewildered.

[Mental Strength: 12 points]

[Beast Taming Space: 9 points]

Wang Jie: ? ? ?
