Although the difference in just one or two skills seems very insignificant, in fact, this seemingly insignificant difference has an extremely profound impact on the strength of the magic pet.
The gap between general skills and specialized skills is not just literal.
Although Dean cannot categorically say that specialized skills must be more powerful than universal skills, judging from the information he has summarized so far, the value of most specialized skills is higher than universal skills.
This is a skill that can only be developed by familiars who are exceptionally talented in a certain aspect, or have special advantages. Its adaptability to them is far higher than general skills.
Coupled with the rarity caused by the inability to popularize expertise and skills, this has established their advantage.
Judging from Yi Di's evaluation of the two types of Shadow Dolls with and without expertise skills, the gap between these two skills is indeed the capital to widen the gap in their strength.
A demon pet that is born with an excellent specialty skill can even give up the development of some general skills and choose to use this specialty skill as a new construction core to combine the skill system.
Not only can it catch the opponent off guard and have unexpected effects, but this system built with new skills as the core will also have different levels of power and effect compared to a templated skill combination that relies solely on general skills. of enhancement.
The impact of a two-pronged approach on the actual combat effectiveness of the Demon Pet is immeasurable.
That’s why Dean spent a lot of money refining potions and trying to popularize his expertise. One reason is because it is profitable, and the other reason is to see how much external assistance can help bridge these innate gaps. effect.
This is also an expansion of thinking about the realm that cultivation can achieve, and the extent to which external interference can affect a familiar.
As Lan Xing said, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Only by knowing how much human power can play can he grasp the status of "nurturing", and thus have a deeper understanding of how to promote this concept, further improve the status of the breeder, and allow the breeding house to naturally insert the magic pet In the follow-up cultivation, we use after-sales service to win the hearts of customers.
This is also one of Dean’s plans for the future of the breeding house.
But that’s where it ends.
Dean's limit was to let his familiars learn specialized skills through human intervention.
He had never even thought about the exclusive skills beyond.
Just from the name, you can tell that the status of this skill is more transcendent.
And this is indeed the case.
Exclusive skills are a type of special skills that are even rarer than specialty skills.
The birth conditions are more stringent and the number is much rarer.
It is a skill born based on talent. It is usually bred from special talent. It is difficult to copy it even if it is a magic pet of the same race.
Kana is a great example.
It is a dual-talented magic pet. In addition to [Shadow Walking], a talent that all shadow dolls have, it also has a special talent called [Shadow Explosion].
Under the influence of these two talents, it has its own exclusive skills.
It once supported Kana and Dean through the most difficult period, and it is still shining until now, which shows the value of this exclusive skill.
And Kana is also the first case that Dean has met with [exclusive skills].
Starting from it, you can easily analyze the general situation of [Exclusive Skills].
Dependent on special talents, rare, powerful, and non-replicable... Commensurate with the power of exclusive skills are the harsh conditions for obtaining it.
At least for as long as Dean has been a breeder, apart from the evil Andal, he has never seen another individual who can use the exclusive skills of other familiars.
Of course, he doesn't mean that exclusive skills are necessarily more powerful than specialized skills and general skills.
It's just that the exclusive skills are more suitable for the magic pet itself than the other two.
Most of the time, suitable skills can better bring out the strength of a demon pet.
Therefore, from this aspect, a magic pet with [exclusive skills] can indeed be said to be the most favored pet.
However, there are still too few such talents. Dean had pinned his hopes on Xia before, but unfortunately its two skills that were about to be born were only specialized skills.
In fact, in order to explore the principles of skill creation and find more efficient cultivation methods, it is not that he has not done relevant research.
Dean once traced the origins and found that skills and "field" can also be linked together.
Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the current analysis equipment, he was temporarily unable to analyze what this connection was. He could only place his hope on those familiars who had mastered specialized skills and potions.
There are magic pets who have mastered the skills and teach them step by step, and they also take some potions. Dean doesn't believe it, not one of them can learn it.
But obviously, he has not yet received a successful case.
Speaking of this idea, I got it from the Shadow Doll.
He once bred two shadow dolls with [Specialty Skills]. They were born with advantages that were different from ordinary pets. They were very outstanding in a certain data, so they gave birth to special skills.
Dean thinks it is a bit of a recessive gene, so it does not appear in the skill tree of the race. But the difference is that this innate advantage can be caught up later in life.
As long as certain conditions are met, the same skills can also be learned from a familiar with [Expert Skills].
However, it is a bit too difficult to rely solely on yourself. Not only does it require hard work, but it also occasionally requires some external help.
That's why Dean started refining related potions in an attempt to reduce the difficulty for the familiars to learn skills.
Of course, the formula still comes from the system. Dean really has no innovation ability in this regard. The few times he tried to improve the formula on a whim, he almost blew up the house.
If the box hadn't been watching over it, it would have cost a lot of money just to rebuild and repair the breeding house.
Afterwards, Dean, who suffered repeated defeats, gradually realized his true level and gave up his plan to squander his inspiration. Otherwise, he would have tried to run away from home long before Crab Erha.
In the potion he refined, he added a high-grade herb called Belly Snake Leaf, which can improve the softness of the demon pet's body. Although the improvement is not high, after drinking it for many years, some obvious changes can still be seen. .
And this is what Dean already knows, the conditions for mastering one of the several special skills that Shadow Doll can learn.
"Let's go."
Watching the Shadow Dolls take the potion, Dean packed up his things and walked with Kana towards the breeding house.
One person and one pet passed by the selective breeding park where the Eagle-winged Cat was located. After saying hello to the fat cat Garfield who was stretching on the ground, he saw the fallen star hair monsters who were brought out for fun, and their steps couldn't help but slow down.
The figures of various demon pets appeared one by one beside him.
The Akaman fish is swinging its small tail in the special solution, and its crystal clear body is like a small gem, giving it a different kind of beauty.
Doremi flew over Dean's head, making a "dododo" sound and spraying saliva on his head like a sprinkler.
Kana wrapped herself with shadow tentacles and avoided this round of attacks. After Doremi's voice gradually faded away, she removed the skill, looked at the "watery" Dean, and let out a gloating laugh.
Dean wiped his hair, made a mental note to Doremi, and continued walking away.
The Royal Three Geese in the goose farm started to make a fuss on the hour, and the geese's cries kept coming and going with great force. Dean looked at the little demon pets with collapsed faces on the fence,
Because selective breeding has been going on, the number of low-level magic pets in the breeding house has gradually increased.
Under the protection of the box, their range of activities has become larger and larger, gradually spreading to the entire territory of the breeding house.
Dean walked this section and saw many familiars, running around in the breeding room and looking very active.
It's become lively.
Dean grabbed a fruit from the hand of the little monkey playing in the water next to him, followed the source of the sound, threw it far away, and accurately hit the most noisy big white goose in the goose farm.
The squawking of the geese stopped abruptly.
The act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys instantly silenced the goose farm.
"It's good to be lively. It means that our breeding house is prosperous and prosperous."
After making this action, Dean patted the little water monkey on the head as if nothing had happened and said with emotion.
"Here."
Kana dismantles him.
If you want to be lively, get Crab Erha back.
Don't think it doesn't know how much selfishness Dean has in mind when he doesn't actively seek out Erha.
"...Ahem, that's not necessary for the time being. It's good like this for now."
"I'm very satisfied."
Dean smiled hypocritically, and then took steps toward the Breeders Guild, which had been neglected for a long time.
