Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Removal of earthbound rats

There were many quests, but there didn't seem to be many suitable for Eleven.

 The quests here were purely some people who wanted to pay low prices to find Imperial Beastmasters to do temporary work.

 For example, that capturing live wind locusts was a task that a restaurant had commissioned the Imperial Beastmaster Association to release.

 Wind Locusts were transcendent creatures, agricultural pests, and hot food for the table.

 Compared to purchasing live wind locusts directly from a farm, it was more affordable to purchase them here in the form of a mission.

 The only drawback might be that the efficiency was slower, but this kind of mission was obviously not an urgent task with a limited time frame, and what was sought was a long and steady flow.

 Trying to capture flying Wind Locusts was actually quite troublesome, although these guys were not much stronger than Green Sheepworms, their flexibility was high, and their racial skill was Wind Wings, which was very fast.

 After looking around, if it wasn't for the fact that Eleven didn't know how to fly and it was really difficult to carry out this mission, there was no chance that Shi Yu would have chosen this mission.

 In the battle just now, although the victory was relatively easy, but Shi Yu was not without a little reflection.

 That ice-armored beast attacked very quickly, and Eleven, who didn't have much combat experience, could only subconsciously harden up his whole body to defend in the face of the attack.

 But in fact, there was another option at that time, which was to judge the opponent's attack position and only perform a partial defense.

 In this way, a lot of physical strength could be saved.

 Although it was said that proficiency level hardening gave them the capital to fight with their entire body hardened, winning at the smallest possible cost could clearly represent that the favored beasts possessed even better combat literacy.

 "Perhaps the next skill can put 'Super Sight' on the schedule."

 Although the Iron Eater's explosive speed was fast, its reaction speed and eyesight, know it all.

 Shiyu felt that he could have better eyesight than Eleven with a pair of sunglasses.

 This racial flaw caused Eleven to be unable to accurately judge the location of the enemy's attack during the battle just now, and could only harden his entire body.

 But if it was arranged with super vision, this situation could be greatly improved, and it would be able to effectively see the enemy's attacks during the battle.

 And tasks like capturing flexible wind locusts and the like were obviously also relatively good training avenues for exercising Ultra Sight, and reflexes, so naturally, they were Timothy's alternatives.

 "Actually, this task of clearing earthbound rats can also be ..."

 Since Eleven couldn't fly, Shi Yu looked towards another mission.

 Earthbound Rats are also the bottom tier creatures of the Favored Beast Realm, the racial skill is Earth Escape, they are good at escaping underground, in terms of combat power, the Awakening Stage Earthbound Rats are at most comparable to Wild Dogs, and one-on-one adults with weapons can handle them.

 However, the trouble with these creatures is that they reproduce too quickly, have huge numbers, are agile, and tend to work together as a team when they encounter danger, so you can't use the normal growth level to judge the threat they pose.

 The good thing was, unless they were in a desperate situation, their first choice when encountering other creatures was definitely to flee. Otherwise the impact caused would definitely be greater.

 But even so, this creature was even worse than the wind locusts, and was classified as one of the four pests, which were frequent, hungry, and rampant in their activities, searching desperately for food.

 Not only were they limited to stealing food and nibbling on crops, their earth evasion skill would also cause damage to buildings.

The number of earthbound rats in the city might be relatively small, but in some of the countryside the earthbound rats were huge in number, and it was difficult to get rid of them cleanly, which was a big headache for people.

 The task of eradicating earthbound rats was jointly issued by several towns and villages under the Ping Cheng District, and it was also a long-term task, with Royal Beastmasters organizing groups to go to the countryside to get rid of the pests almost every day.

 Eradicating earthbound rats was not necessarily easier than capturing live wind locusts, and it seemed that it could also be used to exercise Eleven's reflexes.

 This made Shi Yu think of a game ...

 Gopher Hunting!

 Spotting an earthbound rat and finishing it off before it evades the ground, isn't that the same as the gopher hunting mini-game.

 This quest, which would settle the reward according to the number of earthbound rats eliminated, was not as expensive as the one that captured wind locusts.

 Shi Yu suspected that the main reason is because their body structure is the same as earth bumps, no one wants to eat them, far less than the wind locust flavor, so the price is cheap ...

 "It's not bad to take Eleven to work on his reaction speed for a few days."

 "Let's put an end to the hardening training for now, proficiency level hardening is enough for now."

 Breeding a favored beast entailed all-round development!

 After determining to take on the task of removing the earthbound rats, Shi Yu, who was holding his identification, was ready to register.

 But just as he was standing in line, coincidentally, he felt that the person in front of him looked familiar.

 As if the Imperial Beast Master in front of him also sensed something in the dark, he subconsciously turned around before seeing the smiling Shi Yu.

 "What a coincidence."

 "Has the Ice Armor Beast recovered already?"

 This person happened to be the after-school honors student that Shiyu and Eleven had crushed just now, Chen Kai.

 At this moment, Chen Kai's face instantly darkened when he turned around and saw Shi Yu.

 "Recovered." He said unhappily.

 "Are you coming to do the quest as well?" Shiyu asked.

 Chen Kai nodded.

 After the Ice Armor Beast's injuries were treated by the Imperial Beastmaster who had mastered the healing ability in the sparring hall, the more he thought about losing the sparring match, the harder he felt.

 With that, Chen Kai decided to rise to the occasion and take advantage of the weekend to pick up a quest to work on himself, and then, took a taxi to get here, a step ahead of Shiyu who couldn't be bothered to take a taxi.

 "You too, what mission are you planning to take?" Chen Kai asked after nodding his head.

 He wanted to know what kind of exercise mission an "expert" like Shiyu had taken on, perhaps there was some reference value.

 "Clearing the groundhogs, no, it seems to be earthbound rats." Shi Yu said.

 "You're alone?" Chen Kai was stunned.

 Shi Yu nodded.

 "Is there any problem."

 "No. ... Generally speaking this quest is better suited for a few people to team up, because the Earthwalker Rats are too cunning, and teamwork tends to make it easier to remove them on a large scale."

 "Otherwise, I'll team up with you? I'll take this mission as well." Chen Kai rushed up and asked.

 Shiyu: ?

 What's wrong with this person.

 It's not like he's a pretty girl, and he just abused him, why is he so aggressive.

 "There's no difference between one person and two people right ..."

 "I can go and call out two more students, when that time comes, someone to control, someone to pull hatred and someone to output, it will be a bit more efficient."

 Shi Yu: "..."

 You're here to fight a BOSS?

 Shi Yu pondered for a while, a few earthbound rats alone were indeed not much of a threat, but if there were a large number of them, it would indeed be a bit difficult to deal with them if they encountered a nest on their own.

 Forming a group seemed to be a good choice, one couldn't be as self-absorbed as before.

 "It can be." Shi Yu nodded and said, "Then let's take this mission together."

 "Good, I'll call out two more classmates tonight to put together a standard four-person squad." Chen Kai smiled.

 If he were a normal person of the same age, he wouldn't be so uptight, mainly because Shi Yu's strength did strike him, and he wanted to further see how Shi Yu actually trained his pet beasts.

 A lazy iron eating beast, how else could Shi Yu train it?

 After the two made sure, they agreed to meet here tomorrow morning.

 After this, Shi Yu didn't stay out for long, and on his way home, he headed to the Chinese Herb Hall Grand Pharmacy, intending to replenish his supplements.

 "It's you again?" Inside the pharmacy, the young physician had an odd expression when he saw Shi Yu.

 In this half month, Shi Yu had already come for the third time ah.

 What exactly is this person doing every day ah, he suspected that Shiyu was a merging talent.

 "Cough, the amount of training and fighting for the favored beasts is a bit larger, plus I have been in poor health since I was a child, there is no way ...," explained Shi Yu.

 The young physician expressed understanding, sympathy, and took supplements to Shi Yu, at this time, Shi Yu was also considering whether he should change a pharmacy, or else he would sooner or later wind up being harmed.
