Unscientific Beast Taming Chapter 2

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

What on earth occurred…? From where did this skill index originate?

Shi Yu’s thoughts swirled in confusion as a flood of data poured into his consciousness.

This data manifested within his mind through clear visuals and text that he grasped without effort.

For an instant, Shi Yu remained frozen in place.

Thanks to the stone tablet index that surfaced in his thoughts, he naturally comprehended several of its capabilities.

Such a capability proved utterly overpowered.

Named the skill index, it allowed him to duplicate the extraordinary powers of transcendent beings and store them inside this index. Furthermore, it appeared that Shi Yu possessed the freedom to impart the powers logged in the handbook to additional transcendent beings, excluding humans.

These beings wielded immense power through their command of countless unique skills. Yet, the notions of duplication and instruction seemed downright unscientific…

Was it feasible to duplicate the powers of legendary beasts and pass them on to everyday companions?

The skill index’s response indicated that fulfilling three requirements ensured the successful duplication of other transcendent beings’ powers.

1. Witnessing the ability in action firsthand.

2. Physical touch.

3. Executing the observation and contact within a single hour.

Such were the prerequisites for duplicating and storing skills.

Should he desire to bestow these skills upon other beings, additional criteria applied.

The instruction process demanded that the user expend a specific quantity of stamina, varying by skill proficiency.

Moreover, the recipient required a baseline affinity for the skill…

Restrictions abounded, prompting Shi Yu to ponder deeply. Though not yet a Beast Tamer, he recognized that this duplication, storage, and instruction power would leave every Beast Tamer envious.

A Beast Tamer’s prowess hinged not solely on the companion’s capabilities but intertwined with three key elements.

Primarily, enhancing their Beast Taming Talent and Beast Taming Ability.

Take Beast Tamers blessed with flame-enhancement talent; the boost to their companion’s skill potency might differ based on talent cultivation depth.

Next came the skill manual.

Typically, companions awakened only innate racial skills, serving as vital indicators of racial tier and overall potency.

In general, acquiring skills beyond one’s racial set proved challenging for companions.

Imparting non-racial skills resembled instructing a young child on piloting aircraft—immensely tough. Nevertheless, via specialized instruction techniques, companions could potentially master external skills.

These instruction techniques mirrored the secret manuals in wuxia tales, rare treasures that swiftly elevated a companion’s might.

Should a Beast Tamer secure a potent skill’s instruction method and enable mastery, the companion might triumph over foes of superior race and tier.

The third element involved evolution paths.

Numerous companions could evolve, yet countless paths remained shrouded in mystery.

Those Beast Tamers versed in evolution techniques elevated their companions’ tiers, unlocking superior racial skills.

The initial element focused on the Beast Tamer’s personal growth.

The latter two relied on amassed Beast Taming wisdom and expertise.

Shi Yu’s skill index equated to possessing an arsenal of skill manuals.

Skill index…

Could this represent… his “system”? Or perhaps a secondary Beast Taming Talent?

Over some nebulous system, Shi Yu preferred viewing it as an additional talent.

Yet, wasn’t his Beast Taming Talent telepathy?

Besides, no such overpowered Beast Taming Talent had ever surfaced in tales.

Not to mention dual Beast Taming Talents in one individual…

Emotions churned within Shi Yu.

In a mere instant, endless scenarios flooded his imagination.

However, given his circumstances, it didn’t seem implausible?

As a transmigrator, normalcy evaded him.

The prior Shi Yu held telepathy as his gift, but how did that connect to the present Shi Yu? Even if this version gained an extra copying talent, it aligned perfectly. Logical, indeed.

“First off, steady yourself…”

Regardless of perspective, this boon shone brightly. It resembled his rebirth ace, his golden finger in this reborn realm…

Transitioning from astonishment to elation, Shi Yu exhaled deeply.

Since awakening to his transmigration, unease had gnawed at him, a sense of incompleteness lingering. Now, fulfillment washed over him. Transmigrator bliss boiled down to such simplicities.

“Trouble, time’s slipping away.”

Absorbed in the thrill of his awakened ability guide, Shi Yu abruptly noted the late hour.

He donned his attire, gearing up for morning duties, skipping breakfast entirely. At that juncture, work held no appeal; instead, he yearned to verify his fresh power’s authenticity.

Eagerly, Shi Yu dashed from the dormitory.

…

Icefield City’s pet breeding base sprawled vastly. Its terrain encompassed lakes, meadows, woodlands, icy peaks… tailored habitats for diverse pets.

Managing such a multitude required a sizable workforce. A expansive staff zone lay adjacent, handling pet food preparation and shipment alike.

Within the base’s feed facility, breeders congregated in numbers. Yet, task variations limited their mingling.

Upon arrival, Shi Yu sought his assigned feed for transport. Purpose firm, he retrieved it—though its scale surpassed his expectations.

Hauling two cumbersome containers outward, Shi Yu mused inwardly.

Inside the insulated boxes layered pristine beast flesh, spanning seven or eight varieties, crafted like a balanced feast.

Ample provisions remained in storage, destined as breakfast for the impending Snow Wolves.

“Shi Yu? Heading to feed the Snow Wolves?”

As Shi Yu labored with the load, a colleague spotted the feed type and paused to jest, “Those fellows aren’t welcoming. Watch your step.”

“Though, our base’s clinic excels—”

“Ignore his jabs. The Wolf King ensures zero peril,” a nearby voice countered reassuringly.

“Only teasing, merely teasing. We’ve finished our haul. Assistance required?” the initial speaker inquired further.

Shi Yu regarded them both, regretting his total amnesia concerning them. Managing an uneasy yet courteous grin, he responded, “Appreciate it, but I’m nearly finished.”

With that, conversation halted among the trio. Duties beckoned, after all.

Once they departed, Shi Yu reflected on his predecessor’s solitary nature, shaped by familial woes. Thus, he shunned interactions in his fresh workplace, bypassing cliques and friendships, opting for isolation. Social ties suffered accordingly.

Small wonder an intern like him recalled scant faces or names… Yet, pet details from the base etched vividly in memory.

Shaking his head, Shi Yu deemed it harmless for now. He’d uphold the status quo. Still, wielding telepathy yet embracing solitude struck him as ironic…

Ultimately, gradual acclimation to this realm took precedence. Social bonds could follow.

At last, after maneuvering a cart brimming with meat feed, Shi Yu ignited the transport and ventured solo to the frosty mountain zone—the Snow Wolves’ domain.

Reaching the site, he parked, exited, and unloaded the meat, diving straight into tasks.

Amidst this, the distant white peak shimmered, unveiling scores of massive wolves.

“Aowuuu!!!!!”

“Aowuuu!!!!!”

Heart-rattling howls echoed. With these cries, the pristine wolves from the icy slopes charged forth, initially at blistering speed before easing to a trot.

Even in mere walking, their presence weighed heavily.

“Aowuuu!!!!!”

Every colossal wolf spanned two meters in length, nearing a meter in height, robustly built despite youth.

Their forms boasted lengthy white fur, with tails, spines, and legs clad in dense ice-blue strands.

Advancing, the wolves’ azure gazes fixed on Shi Yu, fangs gleaming amid an icy demeanor.

Shi Yu’s erudition shone; details on this companion surged forth. Attributes denoted power categories, racial levels gauged growth ceilings—low, medium, high. Skills, the extraordinary perks Shi Yu coveted to covertly snag via his secondary overpowered gift…

“Aowuuu!!!!!”

“Aowuuu!!!!!”

Now, the wolves eyed Shi Yu with salivating hunger.

“Sure enough, I get it.”

Watched by the Snow Wolf throng, Shi Yu merely sensed novelty.

Evidently famished and meat-craving, the wolves’ intent rang clear to him.

Grasping their message eased his mind… yet twisted his gut.

Relief stemmed from shared understanding. Agony arose from a wolf’s appetite for him.

Blast it…

What drudgery was this?

Breeder role, or mere menu item?

“Where’s the Wolf King?”

Shi Yu strove to dismiss the folly, scanning afar for the dreaded Wolf King.

“Roar!!!!!!”

Post-arrival, the Snow Wolves aligned dutifully, restraint absolute—not from courtesy to Shi Yu, but awaiting their leader.

A fiercer roar boomed, parting the pack for a grander Snow Wolf: over three meters long, towering 1.6 to 1.7 meters.

“Roar!!!!!!”

The Snow Wolf pack’s monarch emerged leisurely, eyes pinning Shi Yu.

Fellow wolves regarded it with awe and trepidation.

Snow Wolves thrived in hierarchical packs, their king holding unchallenged sway.

Certain kings unlocked intimidation skills, forging oppressive auras to rule the group.

No innate racial trait, this demanded rigorous awakening prerequisites.

Beneath the king’s intimidation, Snow Wolves complied utterly, order prevailing.

Clearly, safe feeding for novices like Shi Yu owed not to telepathy, but the king’s aura.

This Snow Wolf King served as a base Beast Tamer’s companion, overseeing the pack.

Shi Yu pondered if the owner observed covertly, evaluating him…

Yet, such a figure likely ranked high, with this merely one pet among many—unlikely to scrutinize an intern.

Might this wolf act as evaluator? Shi Yu’s face twisted oddly.

Subsequently, the Snow Wolf King advanced toward Shi Yu with cool detachment.

Shi Yu’s pulse quickened, eyeing the majestic beast curiously.

This king’s aura dwarfed the common wolves’ collective menace.

A single stare set Shi Yu’s heart racing.

Meanwhile, the Wolf King appraised Shi Yu, delaying its meal. Enveloped in chill, it neared further.

Then, it grazed past Shi Yu, head nudging him.

Per custom, the alpha imprinted its scent on the novice breeder, infusing deterrence for smoother feedings.

Sensing the chill, Shi Yu knew the marking complete.

Scent via proximity?

Impressive, far superior to urination.

As Shi Yu reflected, his skill index activated abruptly.

Triggered by the king’s innate intimidation and their contact…

The seamless, theatrical unfolding bewildered Shi Yu.

He’d plotted ways to snag a Snow Wolf skill, yet simplicity prevailed?

And the king’s advanced one, no less.

Paging to the start, the Snow Wolf King’s likeness topped it.

Beneath sprawled text.
