I Built a Home on the Back of the Black Tortoise

Chapter 3: Inheriting the ability of Rock Armor Tortoise.

In the wasteland-like post-apocalyptic world.

Plants and animals had mutated, and they were collectively referred to as vicious beasts.

People mutated as well, but their mutation was not as big as animals and plants.

There were three types of human mutations: awakened, mutant, and enhanced.

Awakened: Only appears in one out of ten thousand people, with various abilities.

Mutant: Only appears in one out of a thousand people. The strength of the mutant is determined by their talent.

Enhanced: Strengthen oneself through an external force, which is also the mainstream power system.

Mu Liang had learned the above simple information from Mino’s mouth.

“Huh? Mu Liang, you’re an Awakened One??”

Mino’s eyes were blank. She was unable to react to this shocking news.

“Yes, the ability I awakened is to tame animals.” Mu Liang nodded slightly.

The fact that he could tame animals would be exposed sooner or later, so he decided to disguise himself as an Awakened One.

“Mu Liang, you are too…… Too awesome.”

Mino came back to her senses and grabbed Mu Liang’s arm. She stuttered excitedly, not knowing how to express her emotions.

She had heard from her sister that there were no awakened people in their camp. There were only a few enhanced and mutants in the camp.

“Keep your voice down. Don’t let the others hear it.” Mu Liang reminded her with a smile.

“Yes, yes …… We cannot reveal your identity.”

Mino adorably covered her mouth and nodded her head repeatedly.

However, the young girl also fell into another new worry. Mu Liang was an awakened person. Would he still stay in this small camp???

Mu Liang looked at the girl, who suddenly became quiet for some reason and decided not to bother her.

He asked in his mind, “System, didn’t you say that I can inherit one ability of my tamed animals?”

“Ding! Whether to inherit the Rock Armor tortoise’s talent: Earth Rock Burst.”

“Inherit.”

“Ding! Earth Rock Burst is being improved…… Adaptation in progress…… Inheritance completed.”

Mu Liang listened to the mechanical sound in his mind, and then there was a cool and comfortable feeling deep in his brain, followed by a warm current flowing throughout his body.

“System, open my character profile.”

[Tamer: Mu Liang]

Stamina: 6. Speed: 4.3

Strength: 5. Spirit: 8.7

Life span: 24 years/100 years

Taming point: 0. (Refresh every day, can be accumulated)

Evolutionary points: 0

Ability: Earth Rock Burst (Level 1)

(The attributes of a normal human body are 1.)

…………

Tamed beast:

Rock Armor tortoise (Level 1)

Talent: Earth Rock Burst (Level 1)

…………

After reading his character, Mu Liang was stunned.

All of his attributes had increased, and even his life span reached 100 years.

If the rock armor tortoise kept evolving, would his life span reach a thousand years? Or maybe even ten thousand years?

Thinking about it, it was not impossible. The Taming Points would refresh every day, allowing him to tame new animals.

As long as he kept inheriting new talents, Mu Liang’s life span and his four attributes would be strengthened.

“What kind of ability is Earth Rock Burst?”

Mu Liang didn’t see the introduction of this talent on the panel, so he decided to try it himself.

He activated the Earth Rock Burst and saw that a palm-size spiky rock appeared on the ground a few meters away.

The rock armor tortoise tilted its head, and his emerald green eyes looked at the tip of the rock in front of it.

“The power of this talent is not bad. It can be used to attack the feet of the enemy and it can make them lose their mobility.”

“If you knock a person to the ground, and use another ‘Earth Rock Burst,’ it will definitely be a fatal blow.”

Mu Liang started thinking about how to make maximum use of his abilities.

He checked his character profile and found that launching his ability would consume stamina and spirit.

“It can be activated a total of about six times before I run out of energy.”

“It looks like I can only use it three times because I need to save some energy to deal with emergencies.”

Mu Liang immediately grasped the critical point.

Now he was thinking about another thing, which was how to obtain items that contain energy. This was related to the strengthening of the rock armor tortoise.

Let’s set a small target of evolving the rock armor tortoise into a Holy Beast!

“Mu Liang, you are an awakened person. How could you faint that day?” Mino suddenly raised her head and asked.

“I was bitten by a poisonous beast.” Mu Liang gave her the excuse that he had already thought of long ago.

It was impossible for him to reveal his identity as the traverser to anyone.

“Then are you going to leave after you’re healed?” Mino was emotionally disappointed.

After thinking for a while, the young girl also figured it out.

Since Mu Liang was an awakened person and he avoided answering her question of whether he would stay or not, she had found the answer to her question.

“Well, I will leave.” Mu Liang nodded lightly.

There would always be a time when he would have to leave the camp.

Mu Liang could only tame new animals and obtain items with energy after leaving the camp.

Mino bit her lower lip and asked in a bitter tone, “When are you leaving?”

“Two days later.” Mu Liang decided to stay for two more days.

His body was now fully recovered, and it was even stronger because of the strengthening he had received.

The reason he decided to stay for another two days was to find out if there were any items containing energy in the camp.

“So soon? Can’t you stay a few more days?”

Mino looked at Mu Liang pleadingly with an expression of wanting to cry but holding back from crying.

“You forgot that the tax is due in three days.” Mu Liang raised his hand and wiped the charcoal ash from the young girl’s cheek.

Since the young girl pretended to be a boy, she had smeared some charcoal on her face.

Then she wrapped her head with a piece of cloth and put on large grey tattered clothes.

“I’ll go and catch the small lizards. Trust me.” Mino’s small hand tightly gripped Mu Liang’s hand as she anxiously promised.

“Then let me ask you a question.”

Mu Liang gently asked: “Will you go with me two days later?”

“I am willing…” Mino stopped in the middle of speaking.

The young girl remembered her sister and what she had said to her when she was leaving: Be sure to wait for me to come back for you.

“You don’t have to answer me now. You can tell me the answer in two days.” Mu Liang comforted gently.

They had only known each other for five days. If he wanted the young girl to leave the place where she had lived for such a long time and accompany him to wander around, it was very difficult.

“Hmm.” Mino nodded lightly. Her small face was tangled up, and her heart was in a mess.

Should she leave with Mu Liang?

Or should she stay and wait for her sister?

If she didn’t leave, she might not meet him again.

If she left, she might never see her sister again.

It was so hard!!!
