"Data panel".
Lin Ze's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly focused his attention to examine the area.
The soul strength of 0.8 is the same as the result obtained in the unified test organized by the school.
A constitution of 1.0 is not bad.
For a high school student who is not yet fully developed to reach the average level of an adult male is already quite remarkable.
Thanks to his predecessor's regular exercise.
As for the level...
According to normal procedures, after initially contracting a pet, one must undergo an evaluation and assessment by the Beast Tamer Association before becoming an apprentice Beast Tamer.
At present, Lin Ze is not even a trainee beast tamer, so he is naturally without a level.
"Soul power of 80... is that equal to soul strength multiplied by 100?"
Lin Ze continued reading.
What are achievement points?
[Completing achievements will earn you achievement points and reward items]
Achievement points can be used to increase pet growth, unlock pet skills, and enhance beast tamer attributes, etc.
"That's amazing!"
Lin Ze's breathing became somewhat rapid.
For ordinary beast tamers to improve their pets' strength level, besides feeding them precious and rare natural treasures, they can only follow the established methods of nurturing and training.
The former requires too much financial resources, and only a few wealthy young people with strong family backgrounds can afford it.
Most beast tamers can only spend a lot of energy and time to gradually raise their pets.
If this achievement system can quickly improve the strength of pets, then its help to him is self-evident.
With this cheat code, becoming a powerful beast tamer is no longer an unattainable dream for him!
Thinking of this, Lin Ze's emotions surged.
After a long while, he calmed down and turned his gaze to the little snowball beside him.
A new semi-transparent light screen pops up.
[Name]: Little Snowball
[Genus]: Ice
[Level]: Tier 1, Stage 1
Growth Rate: 23.48%
[Skill]: Cold Air Breath
Growth rate can be increased through combat or by consuming items rich in energy.
[Reaching 100% growth will trigger evolution, which will greatly increase the pet's strength and level.]
Pets are classified into nine ranks from first to ninth rank according to their strength, from lowest to highest.
Each level is further divided into nine segments.
First tier, first level is undoubtedly the weakest level.
"Huh."
Just then, Lin Ze's gaze sharpened.
At the very bottom of the panel, there are two lines of text.
[Optional Evolution Path]
[①Giant Route: An evolutionary path that enhances melee capabilities, focusing on improving constitution and strength while weakening ice element manipulation. The next evolutionary form is the Yeti, which can evolve up to the fifth tier.]
[②Empress Route: An evolutionary path that enhances affinity with ice elements, focusing on improving spellcasting abilities while weakening melee attributes. The next evolutionary form is [Ice Crystal Soul], which can evolve up to the King level.]
"This is..."
Lin Ze was taken aback.
I don't think the little snowball has any evolutionary forms.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been classified as the lowest-level F-grade pet.
"Could it be that I remembered it wrong?"
Lin Ze quickly took out his phone and went online to search.
However, all the information found indicates that the snowball does not have an evolutionary form.
His memory is accurate.
"In other words... this is an unexplored, hidden evolutionary path!"
"And there are two of them!"
Lin Ze couldn't help but take a deep breath.
There are countless kinds of pets.
Humans have identified less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of the species to date.
The same applies to the evolutionary direction of pets.
Humanity has spent hundreds of years and taken countless detours to finally discover more than 100,000 evolutionary paths.
However, this number is still far less than the number of unexplored evolutionary paths.
At least a thousand new evolutionary paths are discovered every year.
Researching the evolutionary direction of pets is a long and arduous process.
Lin Ze never expected that the system would have the function of displaying the evolution path of pets.
Moreover, it seems that all the evolution paths of pets can be displayed.
"That's amazing!"
After a moment's thought, Lin Ze understood the power of this function.
He could use this to select pets with great evolutionary potential for contracting.
Even if all else fails, you can still become an excellent pet breeder.
"As expected of a cheat system, its functions are simply incredibly powerful!"
Lin Ze was overjoyed.
The little snowball, which is known as a pet for ornamental purposes, actually has two hidden evolutionary paths.
One of them can even evolve to the King level!
According to the classification standards of the Beast Tamer Association, without exception, any pet with the potential to be a king is a top-tier S-class!
The difference between F-class and S-class is so vast that it's no exaggeration to say it's like night and day.
Once this gets out, I wonder how many people will be so shocked they'll dislocate their jaws.
Lin Ze was extremely excited and immediately clicked on the two evolution paths to take a look.
[Giant Route, Next Evolution Form [Yeti], Requirements: 100% Growth Rate, 10x Lower-Grade Ice Elemental Essence, 100g Barbarian Horn Powder]
[Empress Route, Next Evolution Form [Ice Crystal Soul], Requirements: 100% Growth Rate, 20 Lower-Grade Ice Element Essences, 1 Soul Jade]
There are two evolutionary paths, and the evolutionary requirements for the second path are significantly higher than those for the first.
Without even thinking, Lin Ze decisively chose the Empress route.
After all, this is the route that can evolve up to a King-level pet!
In the entire Pinghai City, there are very few beast tamers who possess king-level pet beasts.
"The next step is to figure out a way to evolve the little snowball."
Lin Zexin breathed a sigh of relief.
The long-standing problem has finally been solved.
With his cheat-like abilities, getting into the Beast Tamer Academy is no longer a pipe dream.
"The college entrance examination is on the 13th of next month. Before that, we must first obtain the qualification of apprentice beast tamer."
According to federal regulations, all students who wish to apply to the Beastmaster Academy must first undergo an examination at the Beastmaster Association and obtain an apprenticeship certificate.
This is actually a screening process.
This will eliminate most students who do not meet the requirements but are hoping to get away with it, in order to conduct the recruitment process more efficiently.
"Right, achievement points!"
Following the prompts, Lin Ze found the achievement list.
There are only a handful of achievements listed above.
[First Pet]: Successfully contract your first pet. You will receive 100 achievement points and 1 Soul Crystal (achieved, reward to be claimed).
[Apprentice Beast Tamer]: Pass the Apprentice Beast Tamer qualification assessment, complete the first baptism, and you will receive 200 achievement points and 1 Soul Crystal.
[Admission]: Successfully obtaining an admission notice from any Beastmaster Academy will earn you 300 achievement points, 1 Soul Crystal, and 1 Body Strengthening Crystal.
Lin Ze glanced at it and decisively claimed the reward for the first achievement.
[Gain 100 Achievement Points, Soul Crystal x1]
In the blink of an eye.
In Lin Ze's palm appeared a longan-sized, silvery, and sparkling object, resembling a gemstone.
[Soul Crystal: A unique crystal imbued with the power of the soul. When fused with other crystals, it can enhance the strength of the soul; the degree of enhancement depends on the user's original soul strength.]
Without hesitation, Lin Ze used it immediately.
In an instant, the soul crystal turned into liquid like snow meeting the blazing sun, seeping into his body through his pores.
Lin Ze felt a sudden surge of energy, and his whole body became refreshed and invigorated.
Looking at the personal panel again, the soul strength has become 1.8.
