Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future
32 In A Predicament
Although Wang Yufei, an Emperor-tier Beastmaster, was famous for his Bronze Warbeast and Silver Guardian, he was also a genius.
The number of spirit beasts he owned had actually reached a staggering ten! Each of the ten spirit beasts had their own strengths, and each one of them would make countless Beastmasters go mad if they were to be brought out.
It was just that those two top-notch spirit beasts were more outstanding in general.
The higher a Beastmaster's tier was, the more spirit beasts they could contract.
For example, Emperor-tier Beastmasters could contract a maximum of ten spirit beasts consecutively!
As for a Rookie-tier Beastmaster like Shen Fei, who had just started this career path, he could only sign a contract with two spirit beasts at most.
Shen Fei understood that there were only two ways to increase his strength.
The first was based on the skills of the spirit beast. After the spirit beast's skill level was increased, the role that the spirit beast could play would also be greater.
Li Yuan's Silver Lightning Tiger was an example of a higher skill level. In the time it took to breathe, it could summon countless electric arcs that circulated around its body.
Although his Flame Owl had skills like Ring of Fire, the actual effect was just one fireball after another.
Moreover, Li Yuan's Silver Lightning Tiger did not seem to tire at all no matter how many skills it used. Meanwhile, after burning hundreds of spirit beasts, his Flame Owl showed signs of fatigue.
This was the effect of a skill's level on the skill itself. The higher the level of the skill, the more accustomed a spirit beast would become to it, and the easier it would be to unleash.
In a battle of equals, the level of a spirit beast's skill was also a key factor in determining the outcome of the battle.
After that, it was the Beastmaster's tier.
All Beastmasters would automatically be regarded as low-level Rookies on the day they awakened their talents.
At this stage of their career, not only was there no special treatment for Beastmasters, it was very easy for them to be looked down on. That was because there were simply too many Beastmasters who remained at the Rookie tier their entire lives.
...Especially those with low-class talents.
In the early years, when the city was still short of Beastmasters, they had opened up a preferential allowance policy for Beastmasters.
At that time, one could buy a beginner's cultivation technique book for a few thousand yuan. Since then, people had begun to pour in, choosing to become Beastmasters.
However, this also led to some people forcing themselves to stay in it, even if they were not suited for this profession, wasting the benefits granted by the policy.
As a result, the Gelin family officially canceled this welfare policy for Beastmasters last year.
Thinking of this, Shen Fei let out a sigh.
He was really unlucky! If he had been born a year earlier, there would not have been such trouble.
Talent affected the speed at which a Beastmaster's tier rose. In turn, The Beastmaster's tier would affect the efficacy of their own talent. The higher the tier, the better the effect of the talent.
Other than that, the tier of a Beastmaster also determined how many spirit beasts one could sign a contract with in the end. But quality was still better than quantity.
As strong as Wang Yufei was, the only spirit beasts that were truly worthy of being brought out were the two that had followed him for the longest time.
As for the other eight spirit beasts in his arsenal, no one really remembered them. The most important thing was to concentrate their strength and cultivate the two most outstanding ones.
Even though Shen Fei had absolute confidence in facing the state assessment and the final examination.
However, it was hard to say if the mercenaries hired by those families would allow him to live until then.
It was reasonable to assume that those families had spent tens of millions every year to find rare monstrosities!
Shen Fei was only a Rookie-tier Beastmaster of the lowest level right now. As for the Beastmasters supported by those families, they were basically at the Apprentice or Master tier.
The spirit beasts they found might not have a high rank. They were most likely at the Marquis or Count rank.
However, when paired with these Beastmasters' various strange talents, their combat effects were endless, and they would be even more difficult to deal with!
With Li Yuan's personality, he would definitely not let the matter rest.
From his vicious eyes, he would probably come to find trouble with Shen Fei again in two days. At that time, he would most likely have a few mercenaries by his side.
Shen Fei had to make preparations in advance.
Shen Fei rubbed his temples and fell into deep thought. If he wanted to deal with the Li family's young master with ease, he had to at least increase his Beastmaster tier within a month!
However, raising his Beastmaster tier required a corresponding cultivation method. If it was in the past when there was a preferential allowance policy, Shen Fei would have to grit his teeth, but he could still pay for the cultivation technique book.
But now, even the most basic cultivation technique would cost tens of thousands of yuan!
To the poverty-stricken Shen Fei, this was no different from adding hail to snow and pelting it at his face.
It was the same for spirit beasts to improve their skills. Not only did it require a lot of training, but it also required food that corresponded to the spirit beast's attributes to solve the problem.
For example, the Flame Owl had to eat the corresponding fire attribute pomegranate spirit fruit.
Spirit fruits were usually planted in large quantities in private villas, and the entrance fee alone was in the tens of thousands. And after picking them, visitors would have to pay another sum of money for these spirit fruits!
The only other option was to take the risk and go through the wormhole to the original environment of the spirit beasts to pick their food. However, this task was extremely dangerous, and one could die if they were not careful.
Furthermore, one spirit fruit could not sustain a spirit beast for a long time, and the market price for spirit fruits was very high!
In this way, to raise a decent spirit beast, even if one only considered the most necessary expenses, it would still cost at least four to five million yuan.
Shen Fei clutched his head. The biggest problem now was still the lack of money! He had to think of a way to earn money.
Unfortunately, in this world, he was only 18 years old. Before that, there were a lot of white-collar jobs that Shen Fei could not do. However, after becoming a Beastmaster, there were more paths that ordinary people here could take.
Shen Fei searched through his memories.
For example, he could go to the wild or venture into the wormholes to catch wild spirit beast cubs and sell them to the beast breeding tower.
It was not difficult to catch cubs. However, the difficult part was that each cub would be guarded by two Spirit beasts at the Count rank and above.
He made a rough estimate... With his current strength, this job was basically out of the question.
Shen Fei frowned. He had nowhere to vent his frustrations on. There was no other suitable work for him to do currently.
'This is such a difficult situation!'
If he wanted to improve his strength, he had to spend money to buy resources. With his current strength, he could not make money, let alone buy the resources he needed.
If those powerful families were not hunting him down, it would be fine. However, they kept a close eye on him.
'What should I do now?'
Shen Fei was in despair.
