Beast Taming: Infinite Simulation as a Tamed Beast

Chapter 12 - 12: Simulation Again

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Simulation Again

"What should I call it?"

"Little Sam? I've used that one before, but it feels a bit weird. Little Larry? Little Mark? Little Barry?"

"My name is Vincent Wolf, so my pet beast..."

With excitement, Vincent clenches his right fist and smacks it into his left palm. "Let's call it Little Vincent!"

"Wait, that seems a bit odd."

"After naming it that, it feels somewhat indecent. Never mind, I'll randomly choose one from those few options."

Vincent tears five pieces of paper, writes numbers on them, and starts a drawing. In the end, he draws the number 5.

"Alright, it shall be called Little Barry."

He calls the Slime, which is in the middle of training, and tells it its new name.

"Come, learn with me, Xiaolan."

When Little Barry hears it has a name, it is very happy, because its still innocent spiritual wisdom tells it that a name represents its distinction among countless other Slimes.

However, it is confused. It blinks its big eyes and bounces twice.

Vincent feels the confusion from Little Barry coming through the Beast Space, and he feels embarrassed. "Sorry, I forgot you don't have a mouth. Let me teach you to write instead."

Little Barry watches its round body while Vincent falls into deep thought.

Vincent picks up a small stick from the ground, writes the words "Little Barry" on the ground, and then pokes the stick into Little Barry.

"Wrap this little stick around and control it so that your body's digestive juices don't dissolve it. See if you can use this little stick to write."

Little Barry tries for a long time, but the stick almost melts, and it doesn't manage to write a single word.

"As expected, making a Slime learn to write is too much of a stretch. The control over the digestive juices is not there either, making my bold ideas impossible to implement."

Disappointed, Vincent tells Little Barry to continue training while he eats something and prepares to start meditating.

Vincent takes out a Level 1 Meditation Amplification Potion from the Space Bracelet.

Level 1 potions are for Apprentice Beast Masters. Meditation amplification potions can boost the efficiency of meditation, and depending on individual utilization, it can equal half a month to a month of regular meditation.

Besides meditation, leveling up the pet beast can also provide feedback to the Beast Master, including physical fitness and spiritual power.

Little Barry is currently at Awakening Level 4, but its species level is very low, so the feedback it provides to Vincent is not much. However, with the help of the meditation amplification potion tonight, Vincent should be able to reach Level 2 Apprentice Beast Master.

"This has been here for who knows how many years; it shouldn't be expired, right?"

Vincent shakes the potion in the test tube, which flashes with a hazy purple light. He reads the label.

[Name: Level 1 Meditation Amplification Potion. Manufacturer: Los Angeles Potion Making Center. Ingredients: Water and confidential formula. Production Date: See spray code. Shelf life: Twenty Years.]

After checking the production date and the time on his phone, Vincent feels relieved.

"This tiny bottle of potion costs 20,000 Cathay currency. Luckily, it still has a few years before it expires, otherwise, I would be at a huge loss."

Vincent uncorks the wooden stopper on the test tube and swallows the sweet-tasting potion in a single gulp.

Suddenly, he feels waves of cool currents flowing through his brain, as if his head was filled with menthol. The icy stimulation makes his mind extremely clear, and his brain enters a highly rational state.

Vincent quickly begins to meditate, consuming this energy; otherwise, he might stay in this state all night and end up going crazy.

Three hours later, Vincent wakes up from meditation, feeling that his spirit has significantly improved and his Beast Master level has reached Level 2. He estimates that last night's effect was roughly equivalent to more than 20 days of his normal meditation.

Indeed, you get what you pay for. A 20,000 Cathay currency price tag doesn't lie.

He can only use meditation amplification potions twice a week to avoid damaging his brain.

At this pace, Vincent can gain one level in about a week and a half. In a little over three months, he could become a professional beast tamer.

"As long as there are enough potions in the Space Bracelet, I would need to spend six to seven hundred thousand Cathay currency."

"I may need to use the valuable resources, so I can't sell them."

"Unused ordinary resources can be sold, but it's still not worth it. It's better not to sell them unless you're really short on money."

Vincent calls out for Dragon Town a few times, but there is no reply from inside the building. It seems Dragon Town hasn't returned since noon.

Comfortable with the routine, Vincent doesn't find it strange. The Old Lizard is always out and about; he seldom stays home unless something big happens.

Looking at the time, Vincent realizes it's getting late. He summons Little Barry back to Beast Space and goes back to his room to sleep.

Day 2.

Vincent wakes up early, feeling refreshed and in good spirits after dealing with Flora Gates' issue.

He hasn't forgotten that his Beast-controlling Talent [Simulation] has been refreshed, so he silently starts the simulation.

The moment the simulation starts, Vincent feels as if he's been emptied, with all his strength mysteriously disappearing.

He collapses onto his bed, completely drained of his abundant energy in just a few seconds. His entire body is filled with deep fatigue, as if he had sprinted a full marathon.

"This is what you meant by it consuming some physical strength?"

"It's all my strength, for crying out loud!"

[Selectable Mysterious Realm: Water Mysterious Realm]

[Simulatable subject: Slime]

[Randomly obtained word: Lucky Break (Green)]

[Lucky Break (Green): You have a higher chance of obtaining rare resources than the average person.]

[Simulation begins:]

[On Day 1 of entering the Water Mysterious Realm, you find yourself turned into a Slime. You retain the memory of the simulation, and your mind is as calm as water, even a little amused.]

[On Day 2, you want to perfect your [Rapid Movement] skill proficiency, so you begin arduous training.]

[On Day 26, you sense a bottleneck. You believe that breaking through the bottleneck will perfect your [Rapid Movement] proficiency, and you need a breakthrough opportunity, so you decide to leave your seclusion.]

[On Day 27, you search around but don't find a Bubble Turtle, which irritates you.]

[In the outer area of the Water Mysterious Realm, not only are the pet beast species levels low, but the suitable water attribute resources are also scarce. You think that this area cannot satisfy your breakthrough needs, so you decide to explore deeper.]

[On Day 28, as you walk along, you find a Water Attribute Energy Crystal Stone and consume it. Your level is raised to Awakening Level 5.]

[On Day 29, you find another Water Attribute Energy Crystal Stone. While puzzled, you consume it, and your level rises to Awakening Level 6.]
