Even if he got injured during training, he wouldn’t need to buy medicine or go to the hospital, because he could also teach his pet the healing skill “High-Speed Regeneration,” letting the pet heal itself.

　　This way, he could save a significant amount of money again...

　　He really was a genius.

　　Of course, the reason William Carter copied these skills was definitely not because he wanted to slack off... it was purely out of necessity.

　　He believed that the iron-eating beast he hadn’t met yet would understand him—his family was just too poor.

　　Both skills were copied by William Carter with tremendous effort, just like how he secretly learned High-Speed Regeneration.

　　But why only two... because after the illustrated handbook recorded five skills, it seemed to have reached its limit.

　　This really frustrated William Carter.

　　Although he had guessed there would be a limit, starting with just five was a bit too few.

　　Luckily, he hadn’t rushed to copy low-level skills, or he would have suffered a big loss.

　　Currently, the illustrated handbook’s maximum capacity is five skills...

　　To add new pages, William Carter guessed that, just like developing certain special beastmaster talents, he would probably need to raise his beastmaster level.

　　The way for a beastmaster to improve their abilities is actually quite simple.

　　It’s to continuously strengthen, modify, and expand their beast space through meditation.

　　The more solid the beast space, the higher the level of pets that can be contracted, and the greater the binding force on the pets.

　　The better the environment inside the beast space, the faster the pets will grow.

　　The larger the beast space, the more pets a beastmaster can contract.

　　Beastmasters can choose to develop their beast space selectively according to their own positioning; it’s not necessary to perfect all three routes.

　　And as the beast space upgrades, the accompanying special beastmaster talents will also be enhanced.

Chapter 6: Iron Bamboo Breeding Base

　　The three-month internship period passed in the blink of an eye.

　　At the dormitory building for intern breeders at the Icefield City Pet Breeding Base, the vast majority of interns were packing their luggage in their rooms.

　　The internship experience during this period had brought these interns a lot, but now it was time to leave. Rather than feeling reluctant, many were more filled with anticipation.

　　Take William Carter, for example—he was very much looking forward to it, because after finishing the internship and getting his certificate, he could finally develop freely!

　　During the internship, William Carter was the type of employee who was steady and hardworking, always completing his tasks very well.

　　While other interns would relax and play cards in small groups during their downtime, William Carter was different.

　　He temporarily played the role of his predecessor’s introverted personality and rarely interacted with others.

　　Of course, William Carter wasn’t suffering from this—he just couldn’t be bothered to socialize with the other interns, as he had more important things to do.

　　Compared to talking with people, he preferred to chat and bond with the pets.

　　This not only trained his telepathy talent but also gave him opportunities to secretly learn skills!

　　If it weren’t for the illustrated handbook’s recording limit, he felt he could have copied dozens of skills by now.

　　William Carter discovered that using telepathy in combination with the illustrated handbook produced even better results.

　　In the future, if he encountered powerful extraordinary creatures, using telepathy to cozy up to them and the illustrated handbook to “shear the wool” seemed like a pretty good combo...

　　Hmm... in short, he hadn’t wasted these three months.

　　After successfully obtaining his internship certificate, William Carter happily left the place.

　　Although he wouldn’t have such a convenient place to copy skills in the future, he was still quite excited that he could finally contract a pet himself and use the illustrated handbook.

　　The more he learned about this world, the more he realized that there was really no future here unless he became a beastmaster.

　　For the sake of his future standard of living, he set a small goal: to become a professional beastmaster within a year.

　　...

　　The morning sunlight shone through the thin clouds, falling on William Carter.

　　After leaving the Icefield City Pet Breeding Base, William Carter—carrying his backpack—looked back at the place one last time.

　　Logically, this was also a place where pet cubs were sold, and there were many varieties...

　　But having interned here, William Carter knew that the pet cubs here were just too expensive...

　　Of course, this wasn’t a problem with the pet base—it was his own problem.

　　So, the old home in the suburbs was still better.

　　Although there were fewer types of pets, at least locals enjoyed preferential policies.

　　The city William Carter was currently in was called Icefield City; both his school and internship location were within this city.

　　Domestically, Icefield City was a second-tier city.

　　There were over a hundred second-tier cities like Icefield City in the country.

　　Icefield City was considered quite developed; after all, only a handful of the nine first-tier cities could surpass it in terms of urban development.

　　It was the same everywhere—the more developed the place, the higher the cost of living, so William Carter could only aim lower for now.

　　His place of origin was a suburb under Icefield City, called Pingcheng District.

　　Although it was a suburb, after reconstruction, the beastmaster industry there was still quite developed.

　　Additionally, to support the local beastmaster industry, locals received discounts when registering as beastmasters or purchasing pets. His predecessor had taken advantage of a promotion to quickly pay the deposit for an iron-eating beast cub.

　　At this point, that batch of iron-eating beast cubs should be ready for pickup.
