Astral Apostle

  Chapter 69 What, I still have a talent for beast taming

   Killed a hyena that didn't even count as a beast, without blinking an eye, and without a wave in his heart.

   Zhou Jing grabbed a handful of weeds and wiped the blood on his hands. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he found that the [Item Analysis Function] on the Apostle interface lit up.

   looked at the panel information, and an item introduction popped up on it.

  [A mass of blood-stained grass]

  [Type: Plant, Weed]

  [Rarity: Everywhere]

  [Introduction: A common weed growing in the wild, I don't know who took it to wipe my hands, stained with blood, if you don't dislike it, it can be used to satisfy hunger]

  [Craft value: extremely low, medicinal, weaving, combustion-supporting...]

   "It's not a cow or a horse, who would eat grass without any problems."

   Zhou Jing complained in his heart, played with the grass, and tested the [Item Analysis Function].

   This auxiliary function can intuitively display the information of an object. In addition to a brief introduction, you can also query more detailed parameters, such as weight, density, volume, etc.

   Not only can you quickly understand unfamiliar items, but also has unique advantages in manual manufacturing, directly reaching the level of the eighth-level fitter with the same precision as the machine.

   "This function is very suitable for being a mechanic. In this world of black technology, it is a magical skill."

   Zhou Jing had a novel look on his face, scratching the grass, scratching the soil, not even letting go of the hyena's corpse.

   Moved his nose and smelled the smell of blood dissipating. He didn't stay in place any longer. He identified the direction of the sun, stepped forward, opened the panel, and looked at the current attributes.

  [Astral Apostle: Bill (No. 003)]

  [Attributes: Physical 18, Resistance 14, Perception 10, Spirit 7, Energy 0]

  [Qualifications: knowledge [blue], pharmacy [blue], eloquence [dark green], craftsmanship [green], natural affinity [green]...]

  [Talent: [Curiosity], [Pharmacist]]

  [Auxiliary function: [pet function], [item analysis function]]

"Apostle No. 3's starting attributes and aptitudes have improved a lot, and I have already roughly figured out the situation in this world, so I shouldn't encounter too many difficulties in the initial development... At most, I need to learn the language aspect. , Although there is no skill blessing, I have basically mastered the northern dialect of the Terra Empire. I have deliberately said a lot of vocabulary, and it is not a problem to choose words and sentences every day. This time I can also learn the southern dialect, anyway, I have the eloquence qualification. "

   "It shouldn't be far from the capital. Go to Jason first to see what the form of contact and placement of the apostles is, and then find a way to become a pharmacist apprentice in the capital later."

   Zhou Jing thought about the plan as he walked.

   The No. 3 Astral Apostle Bill takes the technical route. One of his life goals is to "build a monopoly industry". The biggest competitor is actually the lord, and the bigger the city, the more difficult it is to complete, and it is the most difficult in Wang.

The reason why    is put here is that there is no plan to set a life goal in the short term, and the purpose of coming to the king is to learn knowledge... If you want to make money, you must first have craftsmanship.

   It would be best to join the Imperial Workshop, but he used Jason to inquire about it. Most of the apprentices in the Imperial Workshop are trained from a young age, and if they are hired externally, they will only recruit elites who already have a high level of pharmacist.

   Fortunately, the capital is prosperous, there are many pharmacies, you can find a teacher from the folks, and the level is decent, relying on your own qualifications and advantages, you can quickly master it with a foundation.

   "I'm an outsider, and it's not that simple to be an apprentice to others. Pharmacists won't easily teach themselves the ability to eat, so I have to use money to clear the way... It seems that I have to borrow some money from Jason."

  Zhou Jing was thinking silently, when suddenly his ears moved, he heard a creature approaching from the side, turned his head to look, and found another hyena in the grass.

   There are quite a few beasts around here... It's a coincidence that the alien hunters only fight alien beasts, but this kind of beast is not their target, and they won't make a special trip for it.

  Therefore, wild beasts occasionally appear in the outer suburbs of the capital, threatening the residents or pedestrians in the townships. Usually, they will be exterminated only when ordinary hunters or guards are dispatched.

   This hyena-like beast bared its teeth and let out a low growl in its throat. It didn't jump up immediately, but circled around Zhou Jing vigilantly, and turned to his back to try to approach.

   "Want to dig my anus?"

   Zhou Jing subconsciously tensed his gluteus maximus and felt a chill.

  This beast not only looks like the second brother, but also has the same habits.

  Although it is a bit disgusting...but I just used it to test the [pet function].

   He turned his head and threw himself up without saying a word.

  The hyena was on guard and was about to dodge, but the speed was a lot slower than Zhou Jing, and the next moment, he was squeezed by a big hand on his neck, and he was pressed to the ground.

"呜呜 -"

  The hyena could not help but let out a whimper of panic and struggle.

   Zhou Jing controlled his strength, slapped the hyena twice, and then showed a kind smile.

   "Little baby, lie down and don't struggle, or I'll have to kill you."

  Technical tame, he hasn't learned yet.

   But physically tame, everyone can learn without a teacher.

  I don't know if it was out of natural affinity or out of fear, but the hyena was really moved.

   Then he didn't dare to move.

   Zhou Jing released his hand after seeing this.

  The hyena rolled over and sat up, squatting on the spot with its tail tucked, looking left and right and kept licking its lips, occasionally glancing at Zhou Jing pitifully, wanting to escape but not daring.

   If it was a pet dog, it would be quite cute, but unfortunately this is a second brother... No matter how you look at it, it stinks.

   Zhou Jing held back his disgust, smiled and spread his palms.

   "That's right, let's hold a claw and be a good friend."

  The hyena looked at the hand handed over, trying to understand, lost in thought.

   After thinking for a few seconds, it turned around and prepared to pull a lump in Zhou Jing's hand to provide the other party with food.

   Zhou Jing: "..."

  呔! The monster looks at the palm!

Snapped! !

   "Woooooo!"

  Three seconds later, the hyena returned to its original sitting position, and squatted in front of Zhou Jing tremblingly, with a large tuft of hair missing from its head.

   "Paws." Zhou Jing's smile remained the same, blue veins stretched across his forehead.

  The hyena was lost in thought again.

  In the end, the instinct for survival overcame the idea of ​​taking a bite. It hesitantly raised its paw and placed it in Zhou Jing's palm.

   At this moment, the panel reacted.

  [Do you designate this beast as a pet? ]

   "Designate one to take a look." Zhou Jing did not hesitate.

   Anyway, pets can be changed, so he improvised.

  [Successful designation... Current number of pets: 1/1]

  [Pet: Hyena]

  [Talent: Carrion, Sensitive Smell]

  [dominant tendencies: teeth, nose, stamina]

  [Skills: Biting Lv3, Digging Anus Lv3]

  [Cultivation potential: very low]

  [Cultivation: 0]

  [tacit understanding: 6/100]

  [training level: 0/5]

  [Comprehensive Combat Strength: Tier 1]

   "It came out." Zhou Jing was overjoyed, and carefully explored the pet panel, and soon had a clue.

  Talent, as the name suggests, needless to say. The dominant tendency is the prominent body part and the direction of expertise. Targeted training in these directions can improve the level of related skills or learn new skills.

  Cultivation potential represents the value and rarity of the organism, as well as the efficiency of improving the degree of cultivation.

  Cultivation is improved through daily training, battles, killing enemies and other activities, which is equivalent to general experience points, which can be used to improve skill levels, strengthen dominant tendencies, enhance a certain talent, etc. It is one of the most critical items.

   Compatibility is similar to favorability, capped at 100 points. The higher the tacit understanding, the more cooperative the pet will be, able to execute more complex commands and train more efficiently.

The training level is equivalent to the pet's "personal level". Different potentials have different cap levels. The higher the training level, the stronger the pet's basic attributes... The pet's specific attributes are not displayed on the panel, but comprehensive combat power, calculation skills, Talents, attributes and other factors, give the current combat power level judgment.

   The rank of pet's comprehensive combat power is the same concept as that of a normal person. The black-spotted hyena's comprehensive combat power is first-order, which means that its combat power does not exceed the level of first-order attributes.

   "It's not impossible to see the specific value, just spend 10 star point points to detect it."

   Zhou Jing nodded secretly, and basically figured out the mechanism of the pet function.

   He immediately looked at the hyena and found that after it was designated as a pet, the hyena no longer wanted to run away, but still did not dare to look at him.

   should be the reason for the low tacit understanding.

   "Well, ugly is a little ugly. Let's make do with it for the time being. Let's call you Xiaohei... er, let's be Xiaohei No. 1. I don't think you will live long."

   Zhou Jing touched his chin and gave a random name.

   He got up and took a few steps forward, then looked back, and found that Xiao Hei No. 1 was hesitant to follow, still showing fear.

   "Hey, this has really become a starting dog."

   Seeing that the pet will follow, Zhou Jing no longer pays attention, and rushes ahead by himself.

   After walking for a while, one person and one dog soon came to the edge of the wilderness, the road was in sight, and they could reach Tarn City, the capital of the king, by walking down the road.

   Zhou Jing was about to walk down the road when he heard the sound of grass falling down again.

   Brush brush...

   He looked at the source of the sound, and it seemed that the three black spotted hyenas wandering nearby noticed his scent and rushed over.

   "Isn't that right? Is the environment in the outskirts of the capital so bad now? Are hyenas migrating recently or what?"

   Zhou Jing twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his head to face the enemy.

   Soon, the three-headed hyena stopped not far away and confronted Zhou Jing in the distance, roaring while circling in a circle.

  Xiaohei No. 1 seemed to be stimulated, took a few steps forward, stood in front of Zhou Jing, and howled threateningly at the three enemies.

   The three-headed hyena barked for a while, a little dazed.

  ...what's the situation, we are all hyenas, why are you yelling at us?

   Seeing this, Zhou Jing's eyes suddenly lit up.

   By the way, pets seem to be experienced in killing enemies.

   "It's up to you, Xiao Hei No. 1! Give me a pick three!"

   Zhou Jing pointed at the three-headed hyena casually, in high spirits.

   Xiao Hei No. 1 couldn't help but look back at Zhou Jing.

  Although it is just a dog, its eyes reveal human disbelief, as if to say "Are you serious?"

   At this moment, a hyena on the side saw the flaw in its turning back and rushed up.

   "Come on, Xiao Hei No. 1, use collision!"

   What collision? I won't? !

  Xiaohei No. 1 was stunned and forced, and suddenly felt light, and was actually caught by Zhou Jing by the waist.

   Before the dog could think about it, the next moment he found himself flying, and was thrown out by a huge force.

boom! !

  The two dogs collided, resulting in one death and one injury.

  [Your pet kills an enemy and gains 2 training points]

"it works!"

   Zhou Jing's eyes lit up.

   He ran three steps and two steps to the side of Little Black No. 1 who was struggling to stand up, grabbing its dog legs without a word.

   "Woooooo!"

you! want! Do! Varied! What!

   In the horrified howl of Xiao Hei No. 1, Zhou Jing directly swung him up.

   The other two hyenas were so frightened by this strange scene that they wanted to flee... Anyone who sees the same kind being thrown around by the enemy as a weapon will panic a lot.

   However, they did not escape. The two hyenas were overtaken by Zhou Jing and killed one by one with the "Xiaohei No. 1 Hammer", taking their heads.

Snapped! Snapped!

  [Your pet gains 4 training points]

   The results of the battle were outstanding. Zhou Jing looked at the three hyena corpses on his hips and nodded in satisfaction.

  What, I really have a talent for animal taming.

   As long as I brush it, won't I be able to quickly improve the pet's strength? Wonderful!

   Of course, the action of force is mutual.

   Even if Zhou Jing used a little skill, Xiao Hei No. 1 was seriously injured and was dying.

  [Your pet's tacit understanding is reduced, currently 1/100]

   "Hey, the tacit understanding hasn't returned to zero yet? Are you licking a dog?"

   Zhou Jing looked at the tragic state of Xiao Hei No. 1, and he was calm and did not feel sorry at all.

  ... This is a beast that wants to slap his anus. If he wasn't strong enough, he's already had his testicles cut, how could he feel guilty, and it would be nice if he didn't kill this thing.

   "Okay, since you're not dead, I'll take you with me first, and I'll give you a cure when I finish my studies."

   Zhou Jing shrugged and treated Xiao Hei No. 1's injury at will, then carried him on his shoulders and continued on his way.

  Xiaohei No. 1 has a numb face.

  I beg you, let me go!

  …

After traveling for a long time, Zhou Jing carried the blood-spitting hyena, passed the towns attached to it under the strange eyes of passers-by, and finally arrived at the imperial hunter station with ease.

  Apostle Bill No. 3 was an unfamiliar face, and was stopped by the guards stationed at the door.

   "Who are you and what are you here for?"

  The guards routinely questioned and couldn't help but look at Zhou Jing...especially the hyena he carried on his shoulders.

   What shape is this?

   Zhou Jing said politely: "I just came to the capital, and I came to find a hunter I know, can you help me with the news?"

   "Okay, I'll have someone notify who you want to find." The guard nodded.

   "I'm looking for Jace, do you have this guy here? He should be an imperial hunter now?"

   "There is this person, you wait." The guard agreed, and there was no doubt about him.

   After all, he is just a messenger, it is normal for hunters to know anyone.

  Zhou Jing waited in an anxious mood, and after a while, three figures walked out of the station.

   In addition to Jason and Ross, who is inseparable from him, Cole also came over curiously.

  Zhou Jing made a move... There are outsiders coming, so be cautious.

   It was the first time that he used another apostle to contact a placed apostle. He didn't know the mechanism yet, and he was a little unsure.

   Soon, the three came to Zhou Jing.

   "Jace, he was looking for you." The guard said respectfully.

   Jason nodded and looked at Zhou Jing without speaking.

   Zhou Jing blinked and tentatively said, "That... do you remember me?"

   "Remember." Jason nodded.

   "This is your friend?" Cole on the side was curious.

   After getting along for a few months, he had limited understanding of Jason's past. Today was the first time someone came to the door to find someone, so he put down the training at hand and ran over to accompany him.

  Jason was silent.

   "Yes!" Seeing this, Zhou Jing took over the conversation and said, "I'm from out of town, and I used to have some interactions with Jess."

After    finished speaking, he paused, and seeing that Jason didn't respond, he continued to speak tentatively.

   "Do you remember, once you were injured while hunting and passed out in the wild. I picked you up, took you home for treatment, and lived with you for a while..."

   "Yes, I remember you."

  Jason continued to nod his head and said very little, but he didn't refute what Zhou Jing said.

   Seeing this, Zhou Jing became a little more courageous, remembering the characteristics of the new apostle, pretending to be a philistine, rubbing his fingers, he said:

   "You told me that there are many opportunities in Wangdu, so I also came to Wangdu, and planned to make a fortune here. I came to you this time to borrow some funds..."

   "How much do you want?" Jason asked calmly.

   "Hey, of course the more the better!"

  Isn't this a gift... Cole looked at Zhou Jing's greedy face and was a little displeased, but he couldn't say anything as an outsider.

  I thought it was Jason's friend, but Cole came over curiously, but now that he found out that he was just a cheeky person asking for money, he was not interested in watching.

   "You guys talk first, I'm going back to training."

   Cole greeted Jason, and after receiving a nod from Jason in response, he returned to the station on his own.

   Seeing others leave, Zhou Jing put away the philistine face he made deliberately, and pulled Jason to the side.

   Jason did not refuse, and let Zhou Jing take it with him.

   Walking to a secluded place where no one was paying attention, Zhou Jing breathed a sigh of relief and studied the situation of placing the apostles.

   The apostles that he controls himself, as long as they are in close contact with other placed apostles, they can command them through verbal commands, which is basically the same as the follower function.

   And when you touch the placed apostles, you can also read the experience log of the other party just like touching a follower.

   But the difference is that Jason is still the performance of the placement plan to the outside world, not as rigid and rigid as the followers.

There is a sense between the astral apostles, which is reflected on the small map. The astral apostles in the same world can see their respective positions on the map, and can issue a summoning signal to let other apostles move to their own position spontaneously, but they cannot be far away. Giving detailed instructions from a distance...means that you can only call people over, and you can't command others to do things remotely.

   During the arrival, you cannot directly switch the apostles you control in person. Only by returning to the shuttle preparation space, you can re-select the body of this consciousness descending during the delivery stage.

   "It is equivalent to a special follower with high intelligence, capable of executing complex plans, usually independent, and completely obedient when in close contact..."

   Zhou Jing felt joy in his heart.

  Although you can’t command and place apostles from a distance, you can only give verbal instructions like ordinary people, but it’s already very useful.

   After all, they are essentially themselves, and the priority of obeying their own orders is higher than the placement plan.

   So many things are easy to do...

   Zhou Jing relaxed in his heart, a lot of usages suddenly turned around in his mind, and then laughed:

   "Go, give me three hundred silver coins, and then help me enter the capital!"
