However, another problem arose.
Can the Green Silk Worm eat Spirit Stones?
The answer is obvious; it definitely cannot eat them directly.
Even with Eleven's teeth, it would probably not be able to chew them properly.
Should the Spirit Stones be soaked in water?
Or ground into powder?
Shi Yu fell into deep thought, feeling it was unreliable.
Beside him, the Green Silk Worm had already run off with Eleven to experiment with the wonders of the Masterful-level silk.
A single strand of silk was incredibly strong and sharp.
Although it had not yet reached the Extraordinary level, after dozens of attribute points, the Green Silk Worm's strength was considerable.
Using a single strand of silk, it could easily cut through ordinary rocks and trees.
Multiple strands entwined, the Silk Ray's power surpassed that of an arrow, easily piercing and shattering a large rock.
In terms of cutting power, the attack area became larger when multiple strands were entwined, but it also consumed more energy.
Even more impressively, with its current proficiency, the Green Silk Worm could instantly weave a large, complex web to trap enemies, becoming more agile than human limbs.
However, unfortunately, based on its current attributes, it was only strong and sharp, without any extraordinary qualities, still within the realm of insect abilities.
To further enhance its power, it needed to use the properties of the Masterful-level silk to absorb the attribute energy from food.
On Shi Yu's side, he could not find any information on whether Spirit Stones could be eaten. Just as he was about to ask Lu Qingyi, President Feng, and others if there were any methods, he suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Shi Yu, you're really poor and confused."
"Why not directly buy spatial plants as food instead of always thinking about stones?"
Shi Yu had not changed his mindset and had not realized that, having harvested a relic, he was now a wealthy person.
Selling a Spirit Stone for money and then buying a suitable spatial plant seemed like a reasonable plan.
Even if the middleman made a profit, the loss would not be significant, and it was certainly better than letting the worm eat stones.
If it formed a stone in its body, like a golden core, the Green Silk Worm might directly ascend, or worse, die.
...
After thinking it through, Shi Yu opened the all-powerful shopping website and searched for the spatial resources page he had previously glanced at and closed.
【Spirit Stone】: Can assist Beastmasters in enhancing the level of their Beast Space. (Out of stock)
Good grief, not only is it out of stock, but it also has no price listed, indicating it is a rare item.
However, this is normal, as this item, like energy crystals, is a universal resource.
Energy crystals can be used by any corresponding attribute pet beast, and although the conditions for the birth of common attribute energy crystals are quite strict, they are not impossible to achieve.
However, Spirit Stones are different. They can only be born in special places like secret realms or relic spaces.
Moreover, the demand for Spirit Stones is much greater than that of ordinary attribute materials, as they are essential for enhancing the level of the Beast Space, which every Beastmaster needs.
Furthermore, the more, the better.
After all, no matter how powerful a pet beast is, it cannot surpass the Beastmaster's own strength.
Once the Beast Space level is enhanced, a Beastmaster can suppress powerful Extraordinary beings even without controlling their pet beasts.
First, every time a Beastmaster's level increases, their physical attributes undergo a qualitative change.
This change is more terrifying than the improvements from pet beast feedback or Shi Yu's attribute point increases.
The former remains within the realm of normal humans, with the maximum difference being that between a normal person and a national athlete.
However, the latter creates a gap between a normal person and an Extraordinary being. Shi Yu estimates that at that point, he would dare to allocate Extraordinary-level skills, and the weakened period for teaching high-level skills would be significantly reduced, unlike now, where even in good condition, it only reduces by a few minutes, which is negligible.
However, this is not the most important aspect. After all, even if a Beastmaster's body is strong, no one would be foolish enough to challenge their pet beast in a physical fight. This is merely to ensure the Beastmaster's resistance in extreme environments.
No matter how strong a human body is, it is still difficult to compare with a pet beast.
The most significant and critical aspect of a Beastmaster's level increase is the strength of the Beast Space.
A high-level Beast Space, like the demon-sealing artifacts in Xianxia novels, the Master Ball in Pokémon, or the sealing techniques in Naruto, can directly suppress Extraordinary beings. A powerful Beastmaster can control strong pet beasts with just their Beast Space.
Of course, this is not the main combat method and can only serve as an auxiliary function.
However, it is clear that the most important foundation for a Beastmaster is not the pet beast but the Beast Space.
For some Beastmasters who pursue the strength of their Beast Space, bonds and cultivation are not important.
As long as the Beast Space level is high enough, they can directly control powerful Extraordinary beings in the wild to fight for them.
【Spatial Crystal Fruit】: A Level 1 spatial resource, a fruit containing weak spatial power, produced in secret realm spaces.
Price: 500,000 per fruit.
"Cough, cough, cough." Shi Yu was directly choked.
This price is over a hundred times that of other Level 1 resources.
Moreover, one fruit might not even be enough for the Green Silk Worm to eat in one meal.
However, perhaps one meal could last for several days?
Even so, it is still very expensive. After all, it only cost Shi Yu 400,000 to bring the Green Silk Worm's silk to the Masterful level.
"…Buy it!"
Shi Yu steeled his heart. Although spatial resources are expensive, the benefits of cultivating them are greater than those of other attributes.
The current expenditure is an investment.
Moreover, one Spirit Stone might be able to exchange for many Spatial Crystal Fruits. With his current wealth of several Spirit Stones, there is no need to worry about this amount of money.
Shi Yu directly bought two.
After completing the order, he even felt he could handle more.
He then looked at the Green Silk Worm.
At this moment, the Green Silk Worm was trying hard to penetrate Eleven's hardened skin with its Masterful-level silk, but it despairingly discovered that even with its increased strength, it still could not defeat Eleven.
"Roar!" Eleven looked down at the Green Silk Worm, indicating that its efforts were not enough.
Far from enough, it was still far behind.
It could not rely on the Beastmaster's attribute points and needed to learn to work hard on its own.
Only then could it gain the same strength as Eleven.
"Chirp..."
The Green Silk Worm looked up at Eleven with admiration, its eyes full of stars.
Suddenly, Eleven seemed so tall and mighty.
Of course, due to the language barrier, they were just making random gestures.
It was difficult for them to communicate smoothly.
"Ah, I don't even need to do the ideological work for the new pet beast."
Shi Yu watched the two beasts communicating, and Eleven's leading role was excellent.
In the future, it would be the ideological committee of the team, spreading the core idea that they should not rely on the Beastmaster's attribute points and must work hard on their own.
However, Shi Yu felt that just saying it would not deepen the pet beasts' impression.
There needed to be some incentive policies...
"Otherwise, when there are more contracted pet beasts in the future, we can create an effort ranking. The one who trains the most each day will get the most attribute points."
"Then, we can have a team meeting where all the pet beasts fight, and the ones with the highest strength will be rewarded with more attribute points..."
This would create competition!
After becoming a Master-level Beastmaster, if he contracted a new pet beast at each level, he would have at least 5 or 6 pet beasts.
Now it is fine, but in the future, with so many pet beasts, he would not be able to allocate attribute points to all of them, so a competitive rule within the team is necessary.
Shi Yu felt he was a genius.
"Come here, worm, I'll teach you the Absolute Sleep skill."
"Learning this skill should improve your mental power, and then you can try to control your dreams."
After that, Shi Yu called the Green Silk Worm, which was learning from Eleven, over.
The Green Silk Worm silently crawled over, facing Shi Yu's temptation, shook its head, indicating that it did not need more attribute points and wanted to rely on its own efforts.
"No problem, the relationship between attribute points and effort can be like getting on the bus first and paying later. Don't believe me? Ask Eleven."
Shi Yu finished speaking, and the Green Silk Worm looked at Eleven in confusion.
Eleven, the small iron-eating beast, shyly nodded, as it had no choice.
In the world of beasts, one cannot always choose their own path.
