章節 4: Chapter 3 - Universe Body Cultivation Technique

Chapter 3 – Universe Body Cultivation Technique

"So, do we open the shop now?" Lucas broke the silence and asked Sery.

[As the owner of the pet nursery system, Master needs to become strong to protect the dignity of this nursery. So, Master will need to first become a pet tamer. Not only Master, Madam, and Miss Hailey needs to become one too] said Sery.

"But, we don't have any cultivation technique we can use to become a pet tamer. Also, our potential is low too," said Lucas. He did want to become a pet tamer in the past when he was a child even if he knew his potential was low. At the time, his mind was filled with dreams.

However, his dream was crushed when he found out that there was no way to increase his potential and he gave up to become a pet tamer. Not only that, but his family also could not afford the expenses of raising a pet.

Other than Roland who got the scholarship, none of the family members was a pet tamer because they could not afford it. Thinking about it, if his father was a pet tamer, he might be able to stay alive after that monster attack.

[Do you remember the single book on the bookshelf in your room?] Sery asked. Lucas remembered that book. [That is the system gift to you. The best cultivation techniques in the universe. Even if your potential is low, with this cultivation technique, you will be able to advance smoothly]

"Really?" Lucas was surprised.

[Yes. I am not joking. Also, Madam Katheryn and Hailey can learn this cultivation too. No problem. This cultivation technique is only available for this family. You can consider it as a family heirloom] said Sery. Lucas was happy. Katheryn was glad but Hailey was indifferent.

"I don't want to become a pet tamer," said Hailey. Lucas and Katheryn looked at Hailey but they just smiled at her. They knew the reason Hailey did not want to become one and did not want to force her.

"I will protect you in the future," said Lucas. 'Growl~' his stomach growling. They realized that they had yet to have breakfast.

"I will go buy some groceries first," said Katheryn. She went to her room and took her purse. Hailey went upstairs to the living room and switched on the television and watched cartoons. As for Lucas, he went to his room and took a look at the cultivation technique book.

It was a thin book with a thick cover. At the front of the book, the title was 'Universe Body Cultivation Technique'.

"Universe Body Cultivation Technique?" Lucas questioned. "What will this cultivation do?" Lucas asked Sery.

[This cultivation technique will absorb the energy in the surrounding and use them to enhance all parts of the body. Your bones, muscle, senses, brain, soul, and everything that is part of your body will be enhanced. Master, this is the ultimate cultivation technique. The best of the best. The name of the technique might not sound amazing but the effect said otherwise] said Sery.

"Really?" Lucas was shocked.

[Also, with this cultivation technique, Master can easily max out your stats. All Master needs is time and hard work to cultivate with this technique. No matter what Master's potential is, you will be fine if you cultivate this technique] said Sery, and Lucas was shocked.

Lucas opened the thin book and read the content of the book. He was surprised that there was only one line and when he read it, massive unknown knowledge entered his mind. Even so, he did not feel any pain. "It is warm," said Lucas and he closed his eyes to digest the knowledge.

A few minutes later, the system gave out a notification. [Learned Universe Body Cultivation Technique] Lucas opened his eyes and checked his stats.

Name: Lucas

Cultivation – Universe Body

Stage – 1

Rank – 1

Lucas was shocked to see his status. "Is this the effect of the Universe Body Cultivation Technique?" Lucas wondered. Previously, his status would only have health, energy, attack, defense, and speed. However, after he learned the Universe Body Cultivation Technique, new stats were added.

There was will, and comprehension. Not only that, but the attack, defense, and speed were also labeled physical while will and comprehension were labeled mental.

For will, it was to determine his determination. As for comprehension, it was to determine how fast he could understand something. Even if he could memorize a lot of things, if he could not understand it, the knowledge would be useless.

Other than these three new stats, there were other stats he could get in the future if he trained his body with the cultivation technique under specific conditions.

"This cultivation technique is amazing!" exclaimed Lucas. "Although it is hard work to cultivate this technique, the effect is great," said Lucas and he clenched his fist.

From the knowledge he got, it was mentioned how he could cultivate using the technique. Different from the common cultivation technique where someone would need to sit cross-legged and meditate, the Universe Body Cultivation Technique needed a lot of action for the best effect.

For example, if Lucas wanted to increase his health stats, he would need to eat nutritious food. If he wanted to increase his energy stats, he would need to exercise in increasing stamina or meditate to absorb the energy in the air.

If he wanted to increase his attack stats, he would need to train by attacking something. For defense, he would need to defend against something. For speed, he needs to run. For will, he needs to do extreme endurance training. For comprehension, he needs to understand what he was reading or learning.

Lucas did not mind the hard work because he was used to it. His family owned a farm before the monster attack and he was fine with hard work. In his mind, he started planning his schedule to train his body.

Unfortunately, the cultivation technique could not help him to increase his potential and capture power. The potential will determine how fast he was in advancing in cultivation but that would not be a problem any more thanks to the Ultimate Body Cultivation Technique.

The captured power would determine what monsters he could catch. His capture power was Tier 1 meant he could only capture the Tier 1 monster. The weakest tier a monster could have.

"Is there no way for me to increase the capture power? Without catching higher tier monsters, I will not be able to become a strong pet tamer," said Lucas. Sery said that as the owner of the nursery, he needed to become strong but with Tier 1 pets, there was no way for him to become strong.

[Open the shop and you will know the way to become a strong pet tamer] said Sery. Lucas followed Sery's direction and activated his system. After that, he chose the shop menu and a list of items appeared on the screen.

Nursing Pen Stage 1 - 5000 Peto

Pet Playground (Normal) Stage 1 – 50 000 Peto

Dungeon Capture Stage 1 – 100 000 Peto

Tier Breaker – 100 000 Peto

There were four items available. The first item was the nursing pen. The one selling in the shop was similar to the one on the first floor. It would cost Lucas 5000 Peto to buy one nursing pen. It was expensive but the effect was godly. It would not take him long to be able to add one more to the nursery.

The second item was the pet playground. The pet playground was much more expensive compared to the nursing pen. Lucas had no idea why it was that expensive when the nursing pen was much more useful but he felt like there was more to it that Sery forgot to tell them.

[The pet playground sells here is the same one as the one in the nursery. As you can see, it is written there that it is a normal playground meaning it is suitable for all types of pets. There will be more types of playground available in the future once you level up the system and they will have better effects] said Sery.

Both the nursing pen and pet playground had 'Stage 1' meant the item was only suitable for stage 1 pets. Higher stages of pets could not use the item.

"What is this dungeon capture? Is it the one I am thinking about?" Lucas asked.

[Yes. At the moment, our nursery only has a stage 1 normal dungeon. That dungeon is suitable to train pets without any element. Other pets are suitable too but the effects will lessen. Due to that, you will need this item to increase the number of dungeons we can have to train the pets] said Sery.

"…Then, are we stealing the dungeons the government is guarding? That is a crime," said Lucas. "Also, if we catch the dungeon, the pet tamer will have less dungeon to explore and train their pets," Lucas added.

[There is no need to worry about that, Master. Although the item is named 'Dungeon Capture', its function is copying the dungeon and sending the data to the Pet Nursery System. The Pet Nursery System will use the data to create the same dungeon for use in the nursery] said Sery.

"Then… is it a fake dungeon? You said that I can collect pet foods inside the nursery dungeon. If it is fake, how can I collect the food?" Lucas asked.

[No. The dungeon is real. Master should know that the Pet Nursery System is a cheat power, so the dungeon it copy is a real dungeon. Not only that, but the dungeon will also reset to new ones once the day in the real-time end. So, the monsters, plants, and resources inside the nursery dungeon will not lessen. If you ask me how the system did that? It is because the system is a cheat power] said Sery.

[Even so, there are some limitations to the nursery dungeon. The monsters inside the dungeon cannot be caught. They can be killed and their useful material can be collected but they cannot be caught. If Master wants to catch a monster as a pet, Master needs to go to the real dungeon or buy one in other shops] said Sery.

"Oo, okay. Thank you for the explanation and the Pet Nursery System is indeed a cheat power," said Lucas amazed with what the system could do. When he thought properly even the normal system was powerful too. Thanks to the system, humans could catch monsters and turn them into pets.

Lucas looked at the last item, "Tier Breaker. Is this the item that I can use to increase the tier of my pet?" Lucas asked and Sery confirmed it by saying yes. "They are as expensive as the dungeon capture…" mumbled Lucas.

Lucas chose the Tier Breaker item to see the explanation of the item. According to the item description, when Tier Breaker was used on a pet, their tier would increase by one. Other than that, there was a 10% chance of the pet to evolve to a better monster.

For a pet to evolve, they would need extreme luck or many treasures. Rarely would a pet tamer able to evolve their pet. Pet evolution was sought after by many pet tamers because once their pet evolved, the pet's tier would increase by one too.

So, the Tier Breaker item had a 10% chance of increasing the tier of a pet once more. "100k does not sound that expensive anymore," said Lucas. He knew how hard it was for a pet to undergo evolution and he was happy to find out that he had a better way and all he needed was 100 thousand Peto.

After he looked at the shop, Lucas checked the mission tab. There were many missions available but most of them were simple missions like gathering xx plants or training xx hours and so on. Each mission had points and that points would be used to level up the Pet Nursery System.

Once he had checked all the things he could check, Lucas decided to read something online to increase his intelligent and comprehension stats. Katheryn had just come home and prepared breakfast.

Half an hour later, "Lucas, breakfast ready," Katheryn shouted from the dining room. Lucas came out of the room and handed Hailey and Katheryn the Universe Body Cultivation Technique book. Hailey did not want to become a pet tamer and said no but Lucas said that even if she did not want to become a pet tamer, she could still learn the technique.

The cultivation technique was useful to them even if they were not a pet tamer, so Lucas wanted Hailey to learn it for safety. Hailey decided to learn it. It only took Hailey and Katheryn a few minutes to learn the technique.

After that, they had their breakfast.
