Tang Shaoyang did not know the word shepherd reminded of sheep. That was the only connection he had with the word shepherd and the reason why he did not like evolution. The assurance was the five thousand attribute points. That number indicated it was a good class, considering his other classes gave fewer attribute points.
The good news was the fact he gained millions of attribute points from this class, and he dumped them into Magic Power. He did not need to spread his stats allocation with Attribute Shift.
"Do I still have time?" Tang Shaoyang checked the message to make sure he did not miss any. He thought of checking his new skills.
"Word of Beast Spirit?"
When he read a skill with such a name, he thought of a skill that would bring the world full of Beast Spirit. That would make things easier for him because he did not need to look at the Beast Spirit habitat.
"Beast Spirit Is My Power?"Another interesting name for a skill. The notification did not show it, but it was actually a passive skill when he checked the skill in his status screen, "What this skill does, guys? Any clue?"
[Beast Spirit Is My Power (Passive)] The name was weird because Tang Shaoyang and his spirits could not come up with a guess of what the skill did. The worst part was that it was a passive skill, and he could not try the skill out.
The next three skills, Beast Spirit Fusion, Beast Spirit Bond, and Beast Spirit Evolution were self-explanatory. The fusion was what Kiara talked about, a better version of the Spirit Integration because he could fusion with more than one Beast Spirit. He believed the bond related to the contract, the way he made a contract with the Beast Spirit and the evolution, helped the spirit to evolve. The three skills were easy to understand. Then he encountered weirder skills down to the list.
[Beast Spirit Application] [Beast Spirit Store] [Portal of Beast Spirit] [Incarnation of Beast Spirit]
He might have a clue about the Incarnation of Beast Spirit, but the Portal of Beast Spirit was confusing. What does it mean by a portal of Beast Spirit?
"A portal that only could be used by Beast Spirit? But for what? To summon them?" His frustration got into him, and he used the skill.
[No Beast Spirit is waiting for your portal!]
The notification gave Tang Shaoyang a clue about what the skill did. It might be a way to move or maybe summon the Beast Spirit.
"It's a skill to summon the beast spirit… Then what's the Incarnation of the Beast Spirit?"
Tang Shaoyang tried to activate the Incarnation of the Beast Spirit.
[You don't have a Beast Spirit!]
He raised his right eyebrow in confusion. The two notifications were different, but similar in a way, the absence of the beast spirit. However, the second notification told him that he was not in possession of the spirit, saying he did not have a contract with a spirit while the first didn't specify anything. It just said no beast spirit was waiting. It might be related to the spirits he was not in a contract with.
[Try the Beast Spirit Store and the Beast Application. We might find the answer based on those two skills. Who knows, the store might sell you the Beast Spirit.]
Vandir urged Tang Shaoyang to check. The undead seemed to be more interested in the class than him.
It was finally the two weirdest skills he had. Tang Shaoyang tried the Beast Spirit Application first, and he expected a response from the System, a notification that he did not have an application or Beast Spirit. However, none of it happened as he was presented with a new screen.
[Beast Spirit Application]
- There is no application
Note: Don't be discouraged. Make your World of Beast Spirit a place worth living in and hospitable, and you might receive a few applications from a desperate Beast Spirit. Or you can create a wonderful world and raise your reputation as Shepherd of Spirit Beast, and your application box will be flooded.
Tang Shaoyang was confused at first, but then he started to understand how this class worked, and he might not need to look at the world where the beast spirit lived to make a contract. The key was his first skill, the World of Beast Spirit. Or as Vandir said, he might be able to buy the beast spirit from the beast spirit store. He tried Beast Spirit Store, and a new menu popped out.
2. Beast Spirit Market (Locked)
3. Beast Spirit Auction (Locked)
Note: You can unlock Beast Spirit Market at 3-Star Reputation!
Note: You can unlock Beast Spirit Auction at 7-Star Reputation!
He tapped at Build and it was split into more menus; Terrain, Facility, Feed. He tapped Terrain and was surprised with what he found. The things he could buy from the list were surprising; mountains, caves, lakes, rivers, trees, grasses, and more. The price was not fixed because it depended on how big the mountain he wanted to build.
The currency used to buy from the store was also interesting. He could see the price next to the thing, and it was a mix of his energy and Game Coin. He was relieved that it used Game Coin as currency since he had a lot of it.
Tang Shaoyang backed out from the Terrain and checked the Facility. There was not much in the Facility; Beast Spirit Research Center, Management Center, Beast Spirit Breeding Facility, Trade Center, Beast Spirit Medical Hub, and Beast Spirit Alliance Hub. There was not much on the list, but he guessed it because he did not have any contracted beast spirit.
He checked the Feed, and he guessed it correctly after seeing what was in the feed. He needed to contract the Beast Spirit, and it would sell the contracted Spirit Beast's food. It was based on what kind of Spirit Beast he had which was more convenient instead of looking at hundreds or thousands of types of feed.
Tang Shaoyang had checked all the skills but one skill, World of Beast Spirit. This skill was the key for this class from what he found out after checking all the skills. The moment he activated his skills, his vision darkened.
