Beast Taming: the More the Better

The Immortal White Bone Sword's evolution through slaughter might have been like that as well, Su Ping mused. It's just unknown how that Fengdu Sword King, Yu Liangqing, managed to pull off such high-level kills.

Just thinking about it, Su Ping could envision an intense and thrilling scene in his mind.

Unfortunately, as soon as this image appeared, it was shattered by the last few words of the method for evolving the Extinguishing Spirit Yama Sword:

[It's recommended that the other Pet Beasts are elevated to Monarch Level, or to seek help from a Monarch Beast Tamer to capture Monarch-level Deadly Beasts so that they could be slain with the Immortal White Bone Sword...]

"Damn it, although it's realistic, it's really not romantic at all!" Su Ping couldn't help but grouse.

However, just at this moment, the ever-active Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas suddenly stirred again.

It wasn't on any specific Catalog, but a message appeared directly in Su Ping's mind:

[Obtained the Cultivation method for the 'Rotten Sword's' Evolutionary Body 'Immortal White Bone Sword', and its Second-stage Evolution 'Extinguishing Spirit Yama Sword'.]

['Rotten Sword' Catalog has not been activated; unable to further perfect and complete its Cultivation Evolution method!]

Hmm?

Su Ping frowned slightly and shook his head in frustration. Without the Catalog being lit, even with the evolution method, there are no Experience Points to improve further. This is, indeed, to be expected.

However, just as Su Ping was about to filter out this message, the Catalog for the Paperman lit up on the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas!

[Detected a special Evolutionary Body, 'Immortal White Bone Sword'; and its Second-stage Evolution, 'Extinguishing Spirit Yama Sword'. The evolution method is related to its compatibility with the Paperman's Paper Sword Form.]

[Can consume Paperman Record Experience Points to deduce the evolution method for this Evolutionary Body. Each attempt costs 100 Experience Points! With each failure, the chance of success for the next attempt increases.]

[Your own research can also speed up the success rate of deduction.]

Su Ping scratched his head. Did the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas have this effect too? But it must be said, the Paper Sword Form of the Paperman and this type of Sword Device Pet Beast indeed share a similar ingenious mechanism. In that case, should he give it a try?

Su Ping wasn't the type to be indecisive or deliberately make things harder for himself. If he could use the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas to "cheat" directly, why would he waste time researching? Was he soft in the head? Wouldn't it be better to spend that time researching something the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas couldn't help him "cheat" with?

So, Su Ping licked the corner of his mouth. A hundred Experience Points per attempt doesn't seem like much, does it?

He glanced at the Experience Points of the Paperman Record again: LV2 (1,451/2,000).

Over a thousand Experience Points, he thought. Compared to the Forest Wolf, leveling up the Paperman Record isn't that urgent. LV3 Mind's Eye isn't particularly necessary for the Paperman either. Since Qian Yi controls the Paperman, it doesn't need extensive vision for combat. So, should I try it? Try it!

Su Ping made his decision in an instant:

[Consumed 100 Experience Points from the Paperman Record. Deduction failed. Next attempt success rate increased!]

[Consumed 100 Experience Points from the Paperman Record. Deduction failed. Next attempt success rate increased!]

[Consumed 100 Experience Points from the Paperman Record. Deduction failed. Next attempt success rate increased!]

[...]

Su Ping's eyes turned bloodshot. He had burned through over a thousand Experience Points, leaving him with only a couple hundred. It was only then that he finally came to his senses.

What kind of messed-up system is this? How come this trick feels so familiar? Gacha? Or gambling?

At this moment, Su Ping gained a new insight in life, following his previous mantra that 'riddle-makers deserve death': Gamblers deserve a terrible fate!

He let out a long sigh and walked out the door.

The sunlight outside was incredibly blinding, making him feel somewhat dazed.

Fortunately, just then, the ringing of his phone diverted the heartbroken Su Ping's attention.

It was a call from Dong Muyun.

Su Ping answered, and Dong Muyun's voice chirped from the other end, "Su Ping! Come to the main entrance of Yun Tian. I've brought you that big toy you've been longing for!"

In an instant, Su Ping's eyes brightened.

Could he finally get some payback against Su Anyong?
