Bab 16: The Pill Left Behind By His Grandfather
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shen Fei curiously lifted the yellow paper.
The effects of the pill were written on the back of the paper.
"Talent enhancing pill?"
This gray and unassuming pill was actually able to raise a Beastmaster's talent class?
No wonder the old man in the tavern quickly pressed his hand down when he opened the box! The dream-like effect of raising one's innate talent class was enough to drive any Beastmaster crazy!
He flipped over the yellow paper in his hand, which emitted the fragrance of medicine.
The pill's basic effect was very simple. It only increased the original talent by one class.
For example, the original F-class talent, Strength Enhancement, would become an E-class talent after eating this pill, and the talent power would increase greatly.
At first glance, it did not seem to be of much use. However, if it was given to an A-class Beastmaster who was close to S-class, it would be equivalent to creating a god!
Shen Fei curiously opened the yellow paper of the other pill.
[This pill can be used to increase the rank of spirit beasts.]
This pill was very similar to the one that could increase one's talent.
Similarly, the higher the rank of one's spirit beast, the more effective the pill would be.
However, to Shen Fei, these two pills might as well be ash. Shen Fei's talent was already at the highest grade, SSS-class. No matter how miraculous the effects of the pills were, it was of no use to him.
As for the other pill that could increase the rank of spirit beast familiars, it seemed to be of little value compared to the SSS-class Unlimited Evolution talent.
'Let's keep it first.'
In the future, if he encountered an auction house, he would find an opportunity to sell it at a high price, or leave it for someone who was useful to him.
Shen Fei picked up the pills. Just as he was about to wrap it back in the yellow paper, he heard a robotic sound in his mind.
[Low-grade medicinal pill detected. Talent Enhancing Pill. Would you like to upgrade the grade of the medicinal pill?]
'The Unlimited Evolution talent can also increase the grade of medicinal pills?'
He definitely had to upgrade it!
"Upgrade!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the pill in Shen Fei's hand started to emit a pungent yellow smoke by itself.
Shen Fei wrinkled his nose and quickly opened the window, breathing in the fresh air from outside.
The smell of this yellow smoke was incredibly potent!
[Upgrade successful! The elixir in your hand has been removed of all impurities, and its grade has been raised by one more level!]
[Talent Enhancing Pill]
[Effect: When the talent class is increased, the original talent effect will be doubled!]
The originally gray and dusky pill in his hand had shrunk to half its original size under the effect of his talent.
The originally rough surface had become extremely smooth and was even suffused with a faint golden light. It smelled like peach blossoms after the rain.
Satisfied, Shen Fei played with the pill in his hand. Although he did not know how to grade medicinal pills, the pill in his hand should be at least low-grade, right?
When he was young, his father had brought him to the auction house to play. In the auction house, even an low-grade healing pill was sold for a high price of nearly twenty million!
The value of this talent enhancement pill was at least over a hundred million!
Shen Fei hurriedly wrapped the pill with the yellow paper and carefully locked it back inside the box, keeping it on his body.
"Hoot, hoot!"
The Flame Owl stretched its neck and opened its mouth wide at Shen Fei, as if it was waiting for something.
"Oh, you're hungry?"
Growl!
Shen Fei instantly understood and placed the Flame Owl on his shoulder. He had not fed the Flame Owl anything since he left the beast breeding tower.
Thinking of this, Shen Fei quickly walked to the kitchen.
He could also cook today's meal together.
...
"Catch!"
Shen Fei carefully took out the red-hot charcoal from the stove and threw it in the direction of the Flame Owl.
The Flame Owl shuffled over with small steps, picked up the charcoal on the ground, narrowed its eyes, and tasted it with relish.
Shen Fei gently stroked the Flame Owl's head.
"You can eat here first. I'll come back after I send my father his meal."
"Hoot, hoot!" The flame eating owl ate the charcoal in its claws.
"Good girl."
Shen Fei picked up the food he had prepared and walked toward his father's room.
Originally, these chores were for the servants to do. But ever since his father became an alcoholic and squandered the money, the family could not pay their wages, so the servants left one after another.
In desperation, Shen Fei had to be self-reliant. Over the years, he had also cultivated some useful skills.
"Dad, are you awake? It's time to eat."
After a long time, there was no response from inside. It seemed that Shen Teng was still sleeping. Shen Fei decided to open the door.
"...Oh? Son, what did you call me for?"
In the room, Shen Teng slowly woke up on his bed.
'Good Lord, he only wakes once I open the door. What was I standing outside for then?' Shen Fei sighed.
He had originally intended to leave the food here and leave, but it seemed that he would have to stick around a little longer.
"Dad, it's time to eat."
Shen Fei forced out a stiff smile and pushed the food in front of Shen Teng.
Looking at the sumptuous meal, Shen Teng's expression was indescribable and heavy.
"Son, I have something to tell you."
Seeing Shen Teng's rare serious look, Shen Fei subconsciously stepped back.
'Did he drink too much today?'
"Where's the wine you bought earlier? Bring it over."
'It doesn't seem like he had.' Shen Fei heaved a sigh of relief and his tense body relaxed. 'But what does he want to say?'
"Come, come and have a drink with me."
Shen Fei's father took the initiative to pick up the jar of wine, poured a cup, and pushed it into Shen Fei's hands.
"Drink up. I have something to tell you after you're done."
Shen Teng's eager eyes made Shen Fei's heart go blank.
Other than asking him to buy wine, he seldom spoke to Shen Fei.
Why did he suddenly become so affectionate?
Shen Fei gulped down all the wine in his cup and casually put the cup to the side. Shen Teng, who stood in front of him, had an apologetic look on his face.
"All this time, I've never acted like a father, nor have I fulfilled any responsibility of taking care of you. It's been hard on you all these years, son."
"...So, you're aware."
In an instant, countless painful memories surged into his mind. Shen Fei clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.
After his grandfather had passed away, his father locked himself in his room and drank every day.
As for how Shen Fei was doing without anyone to take care of him, Shen Teng could not have cared less.
Not only did Shen Fei have to take care of himself, he also had to clean the house that Shen Teng always made a mess of.
Shen Teng lowered his head in shame.
"It's all my fault as a father. I don't expect you to forgive me. I know what I've done! But I've prepared a gift for you. At the very least, it'll make your Beastmaster career a little smoother! I hope you can accept this gift for grandfather's sake."
Shen Teng firmly looked at Shen Fei, his back straight. His originally cloudy eyes were extremely clear. The aura of his body had also broken away from his previous decadence.
Like a dream, his father seemed to have returned to his high-spirited days.
