I Built a Home on the Back of the Black Tortoise

Chapter 2: The First Tamed Animal

“Ding! Tame able creature detected. Binding the God-level Taming System…… 90%……”

“Ding! The God-Level Taming System has been successfully bound.”

Before Mu Liang could even react, a message appeared in his mind.

After reading it, he finally understood what was going on.

The God-Level Taming System was an intelligent system that was used in a high dimensional world to train ‘Tamers’. During the delivery and teleportation process, it was accidentally drawn into the space-time turbulence and coincidentally merged with Mu Liang, who was in the middle of crossing over.

As expected of a higher dimensional world, even an intelligent system that is just used to train professionals could affect reality in lower dimensions.

Mu Liang sighed in his heart as he tried to figure out the purpose of the God Level Taming System.

Because he had a relatively low authority over the system, its existing uses were very simple.

That was to tame animals and let them evolve.

As the host, he could inherit a natural ability from the tamed animal.

Taming opportunities could be refreshed once a day, and their evolution required evolution points.

The evolution points had to be obtained from items that contained energy.

According to his understanding of playing games, Mu Liang asked the system in his mind: “System, you should be able to generate the specific details of the human body, right?”

“Ding! Body scan in progress……”

In the next second, a virtual interface appeared on Mu Liang’s retina.

[Tamer: Mu Liang]

Stamina: 3. Speed: 2.6

Strength: 3.2. Spirit: 2.7

Life Span: 24 years/79 years

Taming points: 10 (Refresh every day, can be accumulated)

Evolutionary points: 0

Ability: None

(Scanned and determined that the normal attributes of a human are 1)

…………

Tamed animals: None

…………

This was a very simple character profile. Even the skills that Mu Liang had learned as a special soldier were not shown.

The corner of Mu Liang’s mouth raised, and he whispered softly: “It is beyond my expectation that I can live to be 79 years old.”

“Mu Liang, are you willing to stay?”

Mino didn’t hear what he was saying, but when she saw that Mu Liang was smiling, she thought he was willing to stay.

“I’m going to help you in paying your taxes.”

Mino didn’t wait for Mu Liang’s reply and hurriedly packed her things as if she was afraid to hear the voice of rejection.

The young girl put the seven little lizards back into the cloth bag. Then she picked out five dried small lizards from the wooden box and left three dried small lizards as food.

Mino raised her head and looked at the tortoise in Mu Liang’s hand. This was a gift from his sister, to reduce the insects in the wooden shelter.

One tortoise could be exchanged for ten small lizards.

“We still need thirty-three small lizards.”

Mino quickly calculated and the corners of her mouth curved up slightly as she said excitedly, “As long as we can make some more stone traps in three days, we will definitely be able to pay our taxes.”

“Mino, this tortoise can’t be handed over.”

Mu Liang shook his head and interrupted the girl’s plan.

“Why can’t you hand it over?”

Mino was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted.

The young girl’s face was pale, and her voice was low as she asked, “Mu Liang, do you still not want to stay?”

“Can you give this tortoise to me?” Mu Liang did not answer the question.

“Huh? You want this tortoise?” Mino was dumbfounded for three seconds.

The young girl didn’t hear him say that he would leave, so her mood became happy once again. She waved her hand generously and said, “Sure, I’ll give the little tortoise to you.”

Mino put down the cloth bag, tilted her head, and felt a little distressed. She whispered to herself, “Without this little tortoise, we will need 43 small lizards.”

“Could it be that we need to set up traps a little further away?”

Mu Liang watched as the young girl clumsily drew a map of the surroundings on the ground and pondered where to set up traps to catch more small lizards.

He smiled and looked at the tortoise in his hand, feeling very warm in his heart.

“System, tame the tortoise in my hand.” Mu Ling ordered in his mind.

“Ding! Level 0 Land Tortoise detected. Taming in progress……”

“Ding! Consumed 10 taming points, taming successful.”

Mu Liang heard two voices in his mind and saw that the tortoise in his hand was glowing with white light.

Since the size of the tortoise was slowly getting bigger, he quickly put the little tortoise on the ground.

“Make a little room.”

Mu Liang dragged the confused Mino back a couple of steps.

“What’s wrong?” Mino cautiously looked at the wooden shelter’s door.

Soon, she was attracted by the tortoise, which was growing in size and glowing with faint white light on the ground.

Mino cried out in shock: “Why is the tortoise getting bigger?”

“Could it be a vicious beast?”

The girl’s expression changed as she thought about something terrifying.

Mino quickly pulled out a bone spike from her waist and she was about to rush forward and stab the tortoise to death.

“Stay still, it’s okay.”

Mu Liang hurriedly grabbed Mino’s arm to stop her. Otherwise, his newly tamed tortoise would have been stabbed to death by her.

“Mu Liang, quickly kill it. If it transforms into a vicious beast, both of us will die.”

Mino had seen the scene of vicious beasts wreaking havoc before, and even now, she felt scared just by thinking about it.

“Don’t worry, this tortoise has been tamed by me.” Mu Liang reassured the young girl.

At this moment, the tortoise had completed its transformation.

From the original size of a palm, it was now roughly a meter in length and width.

That tiny and cute tortoise’s head had become very hideous and its dark brown tortoise-shell had also become uneven as if it was carrying a stone.

“Ding! Level 0 – Land tortoise Evolution: Rock Armor tortoise (Level 1)”

“Tamed?”

Mino blinked and asked cautiously, “Really? It won’t bite?”

“Sure, I’ll show you.”

Mu Liang raised his hand and beckoned to the rock armor tortoise, conveying his meaning in his mind.

After the successful taming, he had established a spiritual connection with the rock armor tortoise, and he could feel that he could control the rock armor tortoise.

The rock armor tortoise crawled over, rubbed its head against Mu Liang’s palm, and squinted its eyes to express its affection.

“Look, I didn’t lie to you, did I?”

Mu Liang signaled to the girl to come over. The rock armor tortoise had a rough head. It was as if he was touching a rock.

“How did you manage to do that?” Mino’s eyes widened, and she covered her mouth in awe.

“You forgot that an Awakened person can do such a thing.”

Mu Liang said gently.
