Chapter 2062 - 1564: Super Chowhound Chrysanthemum Pig!

First update, requesting subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~...

Qin Fang hadn't acquired a new skill for a long time; he'd been waiting for this day for an eternity... He'd imagined all sorts of possibilities, none of which resembled the scene before him now.

Nevertheless, being able to obtain this new skill, Qin Fang was genuinely thrilled... Especially since this skill was exceptionally rare and practical.

Almost immediately, Qin Fang even overlooked the existence of the Chrysanthemum Pig, and started to meticulously study the detailed aspects of this Beast Taming Skill.

Without further ado, Qin Fang immediately spent a substantial amount of experience points, instantly boosting his Beast Taming Skill to Grandmaster Level.

Perhaps because the skill level had been significantly upgraded, or maybe because the skill's description was very clear and straightforward, Qin Fang had gained a deep understanding of this skill.

"Truly... a divine technique!"

It was precisely because he understood these things that Qin Fang couldn't help but exclaim.

The Beast Taming Skill is absolutely a domineering skill, just thinking about it made Qin Fang drool; fortunately, he managed to obtain it under such serendipitous circumstances, or else Qin Fang would have been devastated!

This skill is divided into many small levels, but overall, it's a special skill used for controlling other animals.

The animals here can range from ordinary ones, as large as lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos, to as small as flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, etc... all fall within the scope of mastery by this skill.

However, the level of the Beast Taming Skill and personal strength also relate to the quality, level, and strength of the animals that can be mastered...

For example, a Three-eyed Viper or a Chrysanthemum Pig, both powerful quasi-spirit beasts and pseudo-spirit beasts, would require an extremely high level of the Beast Taming Skill, as well as the individual's strength reaching a fairly high level.

According to the limitations of this skill, theoretically, the level of the skill user should not be lower than the level of the animal being controlled...

That is to say, if the level of a Three-eyed Viper and a Chrysanthemum Pig is Level 8, then for Qin Fang to control them, aside from not mentioning the Beast Taming Skill level, he would need at least Grandmaster Level skills, or even Grandmaster Level skills, and just Qin Fang's personal strength would also need to be around Level 8, which is Great Grandmaster Level...

In other words, even though Qin Fang's current Beast Taming Skill level is suitable, he still can't control this Chrysanthemum Pig in front of him.

However, there are some exceptions!

For instance, if the Chrysanthemum Pig voluntarily formed an equal contract with Qin Fang, although the Beast Taming Skill isn't very applicable, it would still allow Qin Fang to manage this Chrysanthemum Pig.

Except, this is under the limitation of an equal contract, where both parties' status is equal, and there won't be any forced control occurring...

Because of this type of equal contract, the Chrysanthemum Pig and Qin Fang will coexist peacefully, avoiding any conflict or self-destruction, which puts Qin Fang's mind at ease!

Of course, creatures like the Three-eyed Viper and the Chrysanthemum Pig are considered rare and powerful fierce beasts, and in terms of level, they are even higher than Qin Fang.

Being able to control such fierce beasts would indeed be a joyous and commendable achievement, but the possibility is quite low.

The higher the level, the stronger the autonomy of these fierce beasts, and their resistance to this skill will be significant, reducing the skill's success rate substantially.

Conversely, the lower the level of the animals, the higher the success rate of using the Beast Taming Skill; controlling small creatures like flies and mosquitoes almost has no failure rate!

Of course, controlling one isn't much of an issue, but if one wants to control many at the same time, firstly, it would divide one's mind into multiple parts, which could lead to mental disorder, and secondly, the success rate would decrease progressively...

"Looks like I'll need to train more in the future... this skill will be very useful!"

No matter what, Qin Fang was genuinely happy and excited about acquiring such a skill, silently contemplating this in his heart.

The Beast Mastery skill may not seem very prominent at first, but when it truly shows its capabilities, it can be quite formidable.

Tasks that many normal people find impossible, using this skill to accomplish them would not only be much simpler but could also yield unexpected effects.

Even though Qin Fang hasn't truly used this skill yet, he has already estimated its potential in his mind in advance...

"Right, I'm already at Level 7, so why didn't the system grant me a new skill again?"

However, upon obtaining this new skill, Qin Fang suddenly remembered this issue, which made him feel quite upset.

From Level 1 to Level 6, almost every time he leveled up, he received many benefits, gaining new skills was what Qin Fang had always focused on the most.

Yet Qin Fang had already reached Level 7, his strength reaching Grandmaster Level, but the reward for leveling up had yet to arrive, no wonder he had these thoughts!

However, the System is unwilling to bestow this skill, and Qin Fang can't do anything about it, so he can only wait helplessly...

Perhaps it will be delivered to Qin Fang soon, or perhaps there will never be a free skill again; both are possible!

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore..."

Since Qin Fang doesn't have a good solution subjectively, he doesn't bother to dwell on it and gradually brings his thoughts back to reality.

The Chrysanthemum Pig is still perched on Qin Fang's shoulder, looking at him with a peculiar expression, seemingly pondering what Qin Fang is up to.

A mutual contract has brought Qin Fang and this Chrysanthemum Pig together; from now on, they are the closest partners.

Of course, as per the Chrysanthemum Pig's own understanding, it means... Qin Fang is the food supplier, and the Chrysanthemum Pig is the free bodyguard!

But, Qin Fang must supply the Chrysanthemum Pig with various kinds of food, both normal and abnormal... it all always needs to be enough.

However, when the Chrysanthemum Pig acts as Qin Fang's bodyguard depends on its mood, and one day it might just quit on him.

Unless Qin Fang's strength reaches the Great Grandmaster Level, and this Beast Taming Skill also reaches the Grandmaster Level, allowing him to enforce the Pseudo-Spirit Beast directly... Although still limited by the mutual contract, at least such quits would not occur!

"Little guy, from now on you'll hang out with me..."

Qin Fang didn't think much about it. Having such a powerful Pseudo-Spirit Beast by his side would definitely bring great benefits.

Let alone, Qin Fang also acquired the Beast Taming Skill, which alone already made Qin Fang earn back the cost, not to mention gaining a powerful Chrysanthemum Pig like this!

To his enemies, Qin Fang always steps on and wipes them out cleanly; but to his friends and partners, he is extraordinarily generous and unrestrained, never stingy with any benefits...

Just like with Monk Wukong and others, Qin Fang has never been stingy. Cultivating Yuan Pills and Blood Replenishing Pills, etc., Qin Fang always provides well and ensures everyone gets them.

For someone like Song Qingshan, relying solely on the Cultivating Yuan Pill to break through would be difficult, so he unhesitatingly lends a hand, and several people combined their strength to push him to the Grandmaster Level state...

And now, the Chrysanthemum Pig has also become one of Qin Fang's partners. Although its demands are a bit odd, Qin Fang didn't mind, immediately taking out a bunch of snacks from the Props Box and throwing them all to this gluttonous and cunning Chrysanthemum Pig...

Only its remarkably conspicuous chrysanthemum is seen swaying, while its head dives into the pile of snacks, munching away feverishly. It's hard to tell how many snacks it's devoured by now, as if its stomach is a bottomless pit, and it hasn't eaten in centuries...

"What a glutton~~"

Even though Qin Fang had some predictions about the Chrysanthemum Pig's appetite, when this Chrysanthemum Pig actually started gobbling up food, Qin Fang realized he underestimated it!

Watching the mountain of snacks disappear at a visibly fast pace, Qin Fang couldn't help but grit his teeth and mutter.

But unfortunately, nothing can be done now, and Qin Fang no longer has the right to regret!

"Luckily, I don't lack money now... Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to afford it!"

Of course, Qin Fang isn't truly regretful; the Chrysanthemum Pig's appetite may be big, but Qin Fang is no longer the poor child who had to save up for months just for a decent meal. His assets are enough to feed this pig for life...

"Moo~~ Moo~~ Moo~~"

It seems like the Chrysanthemum Pig heard Qin Fang cursing from behind. While munching away, it lifted one of its hooves and waved it at Qin Fang.

If it were before, Qin Fang wouldn't understand what this gesture meant from the Chrysanthemum Pig, but now he gets it.

"Darn! This guy has really become a monster..."

It's precisely because he understood the meaning that Qin Fang exclaimed in surprise—this pig actually flipped him off...

However, Qin Fang wouldn't take it seriously, as there's no point in competing with a pig, so he pretended not to see anything.

"Kiddo, you can eat these things shamelessly, but you also have to obediently do things for me... You should count as the local snake in this maze. You should be quite clear about where any precious treasures are in this maze, right?"

Not holding a grudge doesn't mean Qin Fang would simply raise this pig without any conditions; it also has to work...

As a local snake with such formidable power, its activity range is naturally larger, and it's definitely more familiar with the locations of treasures in the maze than Qin Fang.

Instead of letting Qin Fang search the map himself, it's better to have the Chrysanthemum Pig lead the way, saving time and effort... Instantly making Qin Fang's treasure hunting journey much easier!

With such a good "navigator", it would truly be a waste not to make use of the food already in the Chrysanthemum Pig's belly... (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
