After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

The words on the stone tablet refreshed.

"Rare Pet Exploration" skill activated!

A new, gray skill to be activated appeared below.

This new skill was located on a sturdy branch of the Skill Tree—"Pet Vaccination".

...

"Rare Pet Exploration" You can explore new rare evolutionary forms for your pets.

Once activated, you can check the compatibility of rare materials with your pets, thus exploring more extraordinary rare pet forms. (500/500) (Activated)

After the skill was activated, a line of flashing ethereal text appeared beside it.

[Tip] Based on the potential and combat power of the evolutionary forms at the same level, rarity is divided into gray, white, green, blue, purple, orange, red, gold, and multicolored.

Chen Xing frowned, there were nine grades in total, he mused.

Without this classification, it might have been fine, but with it... there was a direct comparison. He would definitely try to enhance the potential as much as possible.

Chen Xing took out the precious materials he had accumulated over this period to see how this new skill worked.

He took out a Blessed Conch and, holding the conch, pressed it against Taotie's tough skin.

A percentage progress pool emerged.

0.001%...12.12%...19.76%...

It finally stabilized at 20.12%.

At the same time, two dashed lines extended behind it.

One was blue, the other purple.

A prompt appeared behind the dashed lines.

Please continue adding materials to perfect the rare evolutionary path.

Reaching 100% meant that all the materials were gathered, right?

Chen Xing contemplated thoughtfully.

Was the evolutionary path of the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile behind one of these two evolvable routes?

If one of them was the evolutionary path of the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile, would it be blue quality or purple quality?

It surely couldn't be blue quality... If it were, it would only rank fourth from the bottom.

If it were purple quality, it would rank right in the middle.

Later, when he gathered the materials needed for the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile's evolutionary path, he would know.

Nevertheless, this experiment didn't fully clarify Chen Xing's doubts.

He took out another material, a grayish-white Ghostly Sea Coral.

This was a Water Element treasure obtained from the Inheritance Tower.

In terms of rarity, the Ghostly Sea Coral was far inferior to the Blessed Conch.

When the Ghostly Sea Coral touched Taotie's skin.

A percentage progress pool emerged.

5%...10.4%...14.4%.

It finally stabilized at 14.4%.

This time only one evolutionary route extended, and it was white.

Then Chen Xing took out another Fire Element treasure.

But this time, not even a gray evolutionary path appeared.

However, when Chen Xing switched to another type of Fire Element treasure, a green evolutionary route emerged.

Chen Xing nodded, understanding roughly how this new skill worked.

As Teacher Li Guanqi said, the bloodline of every species in the world has a corresponding key.

This key is a multi-digit code!

Each treasure corresponds to a unique code symbol.

As long as it contains the key corresponding to this code, the entire code will come to light.

To unlock the code, different codes need to be tried.

However... With so many materials in the world, trying them one by one would take a lot of time.

Of course, this ability had already solved many troubles.

After all, others would need to try slowly with materials, but one only had to let the materials touch Beast Taming to know their usefulness.

This increased efficiency by countless times.

But it was still more complex than Chen Xing had expected...

Suddenly, Chen Xing noticed that behind the extended dashed lines, there seemed to be a very subtle "!"

He clicked on it.

A line of text emerged from the Stone Booklet: Do you want to spend 10 Skill Points to deduce subsequent materials? (Note: To deduce one additional material for each evolutionary path, 10 times more Skill Points are required.)

Chen Xing frowned. If it were just deducing one or two materials, it wouldn't be much.

But he feared a big gap. If it needed three more materials, that would require 1110 points, which could almost be accumulated in a month.

But if four materials were missing, it would take about ten months to accumulate enough.

With this in mind, the skill was still a Skill Point consuming behemoth!

However, if one found a sufficiently rare evolutionary path, there was no need to evolve further.

Moreover, if he could discover several more materials and was only missing one or two key materials in the end, the cost of this function would be small and a lot of time would be saved.

Chen Xing thought for a moment and concluded that overall, the new skill was more beneficial than harmful.

Originally, Chen Xing had prepared the evolutionary route of the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile for Taotie.

But now that there were more options, he might as well wait and see.

Gather as many treasures as possible.

Letting different treasures contact Beast Taming, casting a wide net, would surely yield better evolutionary routes.

Chen Xing took out the other materials he had obtained from the Inheritance Tower.

These materials were prepared for Sìxiàng.

He had checked the compatibility of Taotie with these materials, and now it was time to check their compatibility with Sìxiàng.

This was like opening a blind box; no one knew what kind of path it would unveil before opening it.

He took out a clump of roots entwined with blue lightning from the box.

Sìxiàng's paws touched the roots.

A percentage progress pool emerged.

4.1%...10.8%...18.4%

It finally stabilized at 36.9%.

This was the most common type of material Chen Xing had ever seen.

A purple line extended outward.

Chen Xing was somewhat surprised.

After trying so many materials, even the Blessed Conch had only revealed a purple, rare evolutionary path for Taotie.

If the purple rarity represented the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile, then this evolutionary path was also not inferior to that of the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile!

Chen Xing then took out the Thunder Fire Demon Vine he had been rewarded for passing the ninth floor of the Inheritance Tower.

It possessed attributes of thunder, fire, and darkness simultaneously.

The percentage progress pool surfaced once again.

8%... 19%... 27%

It stabilized at 27.1% and stopped moving.

At the same time, a red dashed line followed the progress pool and extended backwards.

Chen Xing's pupils shrank.

Something good had actually emerged!

This was the rarest evolutionary path he had seen so far.

Chen Xing then tried the rest of the precious materials he had left.

The highest quality among the remaining materials was only blue.

Then came Dong Jun and the Twin-fiend Dogs.

Perhaps due to a mismatch in attributes, these precious materials only revealed blue evolutionary paths of the highest compatibility with Dong Jun and the Twin-fiend Dogs.

Perhaps unlocking a rare evolutionary path was not so simple.

Contemplating, Chen Xing decided to safely store the Thunder Fire Demon Vine for now.

Leaving it undecided.

If he couldn't find something more suitable later on, this evolutionary path of the Thunder Fire Demon Vine would become the next evolution direction for Sìxiàng.

Chen Xing took out the book given to him by Li Guanqi.

Skills could help him see compatibility, but being able to discover a few more combinations on his own was also extremely beneficial.

This way, he could save a great deal of Skill Points.

During these ten days, Chen Xing had read most of the contents of these books; it was definitely too soon to say he had fully grasped them.

But he had understood the general content.

Li Guanqi combined the Beast Taming evolution ceremony with traditional Chinese medicine theory.

She believed that, just like the day and night, cold and heat in life, precious materials also had different attributes such as cold, hot, warm, and cool.

For example, even if precious materials are of the Fire Attribute, they could be classified into cold fire, hot fire, warm fire, cool fire, etc.

When looking for compatible precious materials, one can match them based on the Beast Taming's constitution.

At the same time, she also took into consideration the problems of the five elements generating and overcoming each other. When matching, she would consider using medicinal materials that suppress conflicts according to the Beast Taming's own constitution as a guide for the medicine.

For example, Fire Element beasts. Most Fire Element beasts are naturally in conflict with the Water Element, so one could consider incorporating a Water Element precious material with a relatively mild medicinal property among the materials.

First, administer the Water Element precious material to stimulate the Fire Element beast's own protective mechanisms.

Then, administrate Fire Element precious materials, utilizing the stress response to enhance the absorption of other Fire Element materials.

The content in Li Guanqi's book only discussed some methods, but it did not mention more crucial data like which precious materials correspond to which attributes.

The effects of different material combinations were not covered either.

Nevertheless, her methods were still very enlightening for Chen Xing.

Chen Xing couldn't help but feel that if there were a warehouse filled with all sorts of precious materials, allowing him to touch the Beast Taming with different materials, that would be ideal.

The efficiency could then be extremely high.

Chen Xing pondered where he could find a large number of precious materials.

Warehouses of major trading companies should have them.

But such places were hardly going to let outsiders come and go as they pleased.

Besides that, there was the university's logistics warehouse, which should also have a substantial stock of precious materials.

Chen Xing hesitated since visiting the logistics warehouse didn't seem quite appropriate.

Chen Xing then opened the university's official website to see if there were any rules or legitimate ways to do so.

And to his surprise, he indeed found a way.

The college had part-time job recruitment for work-study programs.

Library assistant, logistics office assistant, cafeteria part-time worker, training ground assistant, laboratory assistant...

Logistics office assistant...

Chen Xing stared at this position for a while.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Director Huang, "Director Huang, is the logistics office hiring assistants?"

Director Huang replied immediately, "Can we talk over the phone?"

Chen Xing directly called Director Huang.

Through the phone came Director Huang's cheerful voice, "Does Chen Xing want to take on a part-time job? Our Beizhai College's logistics office has six assistant positions, and this year, coincidentally, one student has graduated, leaving a spot open. If Chen Xing wants to work part-time, I can arrange it for you."

Chen Xing, thinking about his mentor's previous instructions, asked another question, "It's not against the rules, is it?"

Director Huang's tone was relaxed, "It's not against the rules. The part-time jobs are for students in need. If multiple students apply, we ultimately rank them according to their grades.

Given Chen Xing's status as a Grade-A special recruit, his final ranking will surely be first, so there's no question of it being against the rules."

Chen Xing pondered for a moment, "Then I'll trouble Director Huang to arrange it."

Director Huang then asked, "It's no trouble at all. When would Chen Xing like to come in to go through the onboarding process? I'm available anytime here."

Chen Xing calculated a bit, realizing he would be going to participate in the Qinghai competition in early July, which would delay him for several days.

But it would just be one competition; the delay wouldn't be too long.

Chen Xing inquired in advance, "Director Huang, if I need to leave for some reason after starting the job, can I take leave?"

"Certainly," Director Huang explained, "The school has taken into consideration that students might need to go out, and although two people are enough for the logistics warehouse, we've deliberately added four extra spots to make it convenient for you all to take shifts. Just make up the leave days later."

That seemed quite fair.

Chen Xing replied immediately, "Then I'll come in to join tomorrow."

"Alright, the logistics office starts at nine in the morning. Chen Xing can come after nine."

Chen Xing also informed his mentor about it, and Han Yuning didn't object.

"You're all college students now, and you can manage your own time. When the semester starts, the course schedule is very relaxed—as long as you don't fall behind, it's fine."

However, she had a vague guess about Chen Xing's intentions.

What was most abundant in the logistics warehouse, of course, were the various precious materials and supplies stored inside.

Nine out of ten students who apply for the logistics department are related to those supplies.

Han Yuning reminded him, "Every item in the warehouse is accounted for, and besides you, there are other 'security guards' in the warehouse."
