4 The Child Chosen by the Pig

"Humph, the middle school entrance examination is in two weeks. Those classmates of yours who have come into contact with tamed beasts earlier should have already reached iron six or seven stars, right?" Fang Luolin said.

"The best is already a bronze five-star," Bai Ye replied.

"Already?" Fang Luolin was surprised. "Young people nowadays are amazing."

"You make it sound as if you're very old." Bai Ye rolled his eyes.

"Humph." Fang Luolin, who had been expecting these words, suddenly raised her slender neck, her face filled with pride.

"The family of that bronze five-star friend is in the farming business. According to him, the monsters on the farm adored him since he was a child. At the age of seven, he was already riding the strongest sow on the farm. When he was eight, the sow gave birth to a litter. Carrying the strongest piglet, the sow jumped out of the pigpen and placed the piglet in front of his bedroom, " Bai Ye exclaimed. "Well… This kid was chosen by the pig."

"What kind of sow was that?" Fang Luolin was puzzled.

"An Iron-armored Babirusa," Bai Ye said.

"I see. As I remember, there's a wide range of endowment value for an Iron-armored Babirusa. It should be between 6 and 35," Fang Luolin said.

There was a broad classification of pigs at various levels. Nevertheless, pig monsters raised by farms generally would not have a very high endowment value range.

The endowment value would determine the upper limit of a tamed beast.

The higher the endowment value of a beast, the greater the potential of its future achievements.

The endowment value was a term known by the Star Territory, whereas 'grade' was a term known by the locals of the Obsidian Planet.

The grades were categorized as follows: White (1-5), Green (6-20), Blue (21-50), Purple (51-200), Gold (201-500), and Red (501-1,000). A value beyond 1,000 was collectively known as the Color grade.

To Bai Ye's knowledge, there weren't any tools available to assess endowment.

The only way to find out the endowment value of a tamed beast was to sign a soul contract with it and then learn about its endowment value through soul contract communication.

However, after the soul contract was signed, it could not be rescinded unless one of the parties died.

However, the Beast Tamer would face severe repercussions if a tamed beast were to die.

Therefore, the only way to assess a monster's talent and endowment currently was through visual observation.

An experienced and knowledgeable Beast Tamer would be able to estimate a monster's endowment value from a number of comprehensive factors, such as the monster's hair, body shape, color, and combat power compared to its peers.

Of course, the endowment was not static. There were treasures that could elevate endowment and could be used repeatedly.

This kind of treasure was called source material.

Depending on the grade, there was also a limit to the elevation. These materials were not only scarce but also extremely precious.

Generally speaking, an endowment value of 6-35 also meant that the Iron-armored Babirusa could reach either the bronze or silver level upon entering adulthood.

Typically, monsters bred in a farm would be at the iron level and seldom at the bronze level.

After all, no matter how hard one tried to tame a monster, it was ultimately still a monster. Its wild nature was hard to tame.

It was also very difficult to control a group of silver-level monsters when they became hysterical.

Therefore, a farm that could raise an Iron-armored Babirusa was definitely not small.

"His Iron-armored Babirusa has very good genes. Its endowment value was already 54 at birth," Bai Ye said.

"Judging from your tone, you seem to be very close to him," Fang Luolin said casually.

"Haven't you seen him before? He's Wang Qilin. We often go home together after school," Bai Ye said.

"Oh, that skinny little boy." Fang Luolin was monetarily surprised but quickly calmed down again.

However, despite being a Purple Grade that had been groomed for seven or eight years, he was still a bronze five-star… Fang Luolin's mouth twitched in disgust.

"Your friend is really lazy."

Bai Ye laughed loudly.

Wang Qilin, who was indeed that skinny kid, was certainly very lazy.

If he had been slightly more diligent, the Iron-armored Babirusa might have reached the silver level by now.

Fang Luolin put down the punch and stretched her body. She looked relaxed and happy.

"After getting a beast, you should meditate properly and strive for an early breakthrough."

"Okay." Bai Ye nodded. "Sister, I wish to go on a trip during the holidays," he said.

"No, it's too dangerous." Fang Luolin refused.

"I have a beast now, so I can protect myself," Bai Ye said. "You don't need to worry about my safety."

After speaking, Bai Ye disappeared on the spot.

Fang Luolin widened her eyes. Bai Ye had disappeared in front of her, but she had not noticed anything amiss before his disappearance.

At the same time, in a peculiar space in front of Fang Luolin's eyes, Bai Ye was seemingly in another dimension yet could see the real world clearly.

In front of him, Fang Luolin's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. She turned her head in every direction, surveying the surroundings. She did not seem to notice that Bai Ye was standing in front of her in another dimension.

Bai Ye walked around this space freely. There was no gravity or buoyancy. Everything there worked according to his thoughts. Step by step, he walked freely in the air.

On the side wall of this squarish space were numerous colorful but small light spots "filtered" from the outer universe and devoured by this space.

It was functioning like a sieve, absorbing all kinds of energy from the outside world continuously.

This translucent world was 300 by 300 by 300 meters and could expand when the strength of the Super Dimension Mirror increased. When the area of ​​this space expanded, the speed of energy absorption would also increase. This was the true form of the Super Dimension Mirror, as well as the origin of its name.

At present, the Super Dimension Mirror was already at the iron three-star level. Not long ago when it had been born in the bathroom, it had only been an iron one-star. The absorption of the drifting element energy in the air during these two hours had enabled it to break through two small levels successfully.

As the Beast Tamer, he could travel freely to any location in this space and then reappear in the corresponding place in the real world.

This was one of the functions of the Super Dimension Space.

It was a space independent from the real world.

It could be called a space, but its other ability was Super Dimension.

As he looked at the walls of the space in front of him, Bai Ye tried to stretch his right index finger and poke a wall.

It felt like a layer of plastic wrap when it stretched outward in tandem with the movements of Bai Ye's finger.

In order to prevent injuring the people in the Base City accidentally, Bai Ye deliberately controlled his movements in a no man's land located 500 miles away from the Base City.

In the valley 500 miles away from the 36th Base City was a black-shelled giant tortoise 30 meters tall and covered in spikes. A giant thorn stood out in the middle of the giant tortoise's back. From a distance, it looked like the spiked helmet of a knight. At that moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky above the valley. An exceptionally thick finger peeked out of the crack arrogantly.

Through the thin layer of film in that space, Bai Ye felt as if he had poked something hard.

Through the crystal walls of the Super Dimension Space, he saw what was happening in the valley located 500 miles away.

He hesitated for a while and then pressed his finger down firmly.

His fingertip hurt, and he felt like he had been pricked by a needle. It was as if he was pressing on a cocklebur. Bai Ye quickly retracted his index finger.

In the valley, the black-shelled giant tortoise had already disappeared from its spot. The valley was filled with mud, and the ground seemed like it had been plowed once. A huge, deep pit had appeared in the middle of it. In the middle of the pit was a ball of mashed flesh whose original shape could no longer be made out.
