Chapter 2: Enslaving a Wasp, Talent Skill!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After walking out, because his home was in the outskirts of the town and was close to the wilderness, Jobs quickly found a lush grassland.

Because it had just rained, many insects could feel the fresh air and came out, clinging to the grass to drink the water droplets.

Walking into the grass, he crouched down and quickly saw a ladybug clinging to a blade of grass.

Without any hesitation, Jobs reached out with his hand and knocked the ladybug off the grass. Then, he stepped on it.

[You have killed a ladybug and received 0.1 Monster Points!]

He had indeed obtained monster points.

Jobs looked at the system page, the remaining monster points he had was displayed as 0.1.

It was just that he had only obtained 0.1 monster points after killing a ladybug, and this was slightly less than he had imagined. Perhaps it was because insects were not a threat to humans and were only low-level creatures.

If he could hunt high-level creatures in the future, he would definitely obtain more monster points.

After considering that, Jobs continued searching for creatures in the grass to kill. Soon, he found another ladybug clinging onto a blade of grass. This time, however, just as he was about to reach out to kill the ladybug, a system prompt suddenly rang out in his ear.

[Ding, the host has successfully discovered a ladybug. Rearing a ladybug requires 1 monster point. Do you want to rear it?]

This time, after owning 0.1 monster points, when he wanted to touch the ladybug, a notification popped up.

Although he wanted to say yes and rear the ladybug, he did not have enough monster points. Secondly, the ladybug was not the first choice that Jobs wanted to evolve as a monster.

Thus, after considering it, Jobs decided to kill it.

[You have killed a ladybug and obtained 0.1 Monster Points!]

Next, Jobs began searching through the grass. As long as he found a creature, he would immediately kill it.

During the process, Jobs confirmed his previous conjecture. Killing an ant would give him 0.1 monster points, while killing an earthworm would give him 0.3 monster points.

Monster points were determined by the life force of the creature.

After knowing that, Jobs placed his focus on the loose soil and killed the earthworms hiding within it.

After more than 20 minutes of work, Jobs finally gathered 5 monster points.

After that, he killed another 20 insects and found that there were no conspicuous creatures left in the grass.

With a total accumulation of 7 monster points, Jobs got up and walked toward the ground not far away.

On the ground, a weakened wasp that was on the verge of death was using its last bit of strength to resist the ants around it which were trying to carry it away as food.

There were about seven or eight ants in total. After realizing that the wasp was retaliating, they attacked ferociously. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the wasp was killed by these ants.

He had noticed the Wasp earlier and deliberately left it alone, as with the ants attacking it.

The reason for this was because Jobs wanted to do an experiment.

[Ding, rearing a wasp costs 5 Monster Points. Do you want to rear it?]

“Yes.” This time, Jobs did not hesitate to press the confirmation button.

As soon as the 5 monster points were invested at once, the wasp, which had been attacked by the ants, suddenly seemed to have regained its vitality. It immediately flapped its wings and sent the two ants crawling on it flying.

Then, the wasp straightened its body, flapped its wings, and flew directly in front of an ant that was sent flying. The black stinger slashed across, and the ant was directly cut into pieces by the sharp stinger.

After dealing with one ant, the Wasp adjusted its position and used the same method to fly closer and cut another ant into pieces.

Right after that, the wasp showed its ferocity and mercilessly killed all the ants in front of it!

“I just enslaved it, but this wasp has already grown so much!”

Seeing this scene, Jobs’ eyes lit up. He deliberately left the ants here to eat the wasp. He wanted to test the strength of a pet that he had invested monster points into.

The truth was right in front of him. After the enslavement, the dying wasp immediately seemed to have regained its life and became abnormally ferocious. Even its main attacking method, the stinger, was enhanced.

Normally, the stinger of a wasp was used to attack large creatures. After the stinger was inserted into the enemy’s flesh and injected with poison, the stinger would be pulled out along with the wasp’s heart. It was a cruel suicidal attack that cost the user’s life.

The wasp’s stinger, after enhancement, was able to cut through the ant’s body directly, its sharpness was obvious at a glance. At the same time, it also meant that the wasp had an additional cutting method. It no longer had to face a situation where it would die if it attacked a large target.

From the looks of it, the enhancement effect was quite absurd. The wasp in front of him had already left the category of insects and become a high-level creature.

However, the strengthened wasp was unusually ferocious. Would it be hard to control?

Just as he was thinking about this question…

After killing all the ants, the wasp turned around and flew toward Jobs. However, it had no desire to attack Jobs’ finger. Instead, it rubbed against his finger affectionately.

It seemed very obedient.

Jobs’ heart stirred as he tried to give an order. The wasp at his fingertips obeyed his instruction in an instant, circling the air in a given pattern.

“I don’t need to say the order I gave out. I just need to have a thought in my mind and the wasp can sense it.”

After issuing a few commands to verify it, Jobs confirmed this idea.

This was a pretty good ability. In the future, any plans could be carried out in secret without worrying about exposing secrets.

“As my first pet, your name will be Little Yellow from now on,” Jobs looked at Little Yellow which was flying in the sky and spoke.

Although he could not sense the thought of the enslaved insect, Little Yellow was constantly spinning around him excitedly. It liked the name.

“When Little Yellow was killing the ants just now, I seemed to have received the notification of obtaining monster points.”

Jobs opened the system interface and saw 0.8 monster points listed. These were the monster points that Little Yellow had obtained from killing the ants.

The system notification also stated that any pets the host enslaved would allow him to gain monster points when they killed enemies. That was good news.

[Name: Little Yellow]

[Race: Wasp]

[Level: 1]

[Ability: Strengthened Stinger]

[Owner: Jobs]

[20 Monster Points can be used for one enhancement!]

…

Looking at Little Yellow’s attribute panel, Jobs ordered, “Now, go to the meadow on the left and kill all the creatures you can find. If there are any creatures you can’t kill, tell me.”

After hearing the order, Little Yellow bobbed its body up and down in the air before flying straight into the grass at the side.

Jobs also walked towards another bush.

He had just enslaved a wasp, so his demand for monster points was far from enough.

Then, Jobs and Little Yellow started hunting the creatures they saw.

Although he told Little Yellow to inform him when it encountered creatures that it could not kill, how could Little Yellow, which had evolved once, not be able to defeat those ordinary creatures in the grass?

The entire process lasted for four hours, under the joint effort of Little Yellow and Jobs, he had finally accumulated 300 monster points!

This was not a small number.

Immediately, Jobs ordered Little Yellow to come to him.

[Would the host like to use 20 Monster Points to enhance the pet, Wasp?]

“Yes.” Jobs answered as he hit the confirmation button.

[Ding! Level 2 enhancement successful. The Wasp’s stinger has become sharper.]

[Would the host like to use 40 Monster Points to enhance the pet, Wasp, again?]

Jobs hit the confirmation button again.

[Ding! Level 3 enhancement successful. The Wasp’s speed has increased by 100%.]

…

[Would the host like to use 80 Monster Points…]

[Ding! Level 4 enhancement successful. The toxicity of the stinger has increased by 100%!]

…

[Would the host like to use 160 Monster Points…]

[Ding! Level 5 enhancement successful. Congratulations to the host for enhancing the wasp to Level 5. Wasp has successfully awakened the innate ability, “Information Sharing”!]

He read the details of Little Yellow’s enhancement to level 5.

Jobs’ eyes lit up. He had been continuously investing in monster points to strengthen Little Yellow to level 5. This was what he was waiting for!

Every time a pet was upgraded to level 5, a talent skill would be awakened. A talent skill was the unique innate ability of each individual pet, it would also be obtained by the host.

This was the most powerful trump card which would allow him to establish himself in the Shipley Continent and become an expert!

With uncontrollable excitement, Jobs opened the detailed page of his newly awakened talent skill, [Information Sharing].
