The White Bear on the Construction Site

The life of working at a construction site was undoubtedly dull and boring.

But whether it was Ji An or the winter bear cub, after the initial reluctant mentality, they both began to enjoy it.

First was Ji An. Due to his special status at the construction site, he was paid on the spot every day.

He was undoubtedly the happiest when he got off work and received his pay.

Every single coin that smelled like ink made Ji An genuinely happy.

As a power that had been influenced by the Yanhuang Kingdom, one of the nine countries of the new era, the currency used in Encircle Town was naturally the Yanhuang currency.

As for the winter bear cub, after mastering the skills of liming and carrying materials, it could do the work that only ten skilled laborers could do with Monstrous Strength.

A laborer's wages were only 60 to 70 Yuan a day.

However, the winter bear cub's wages were increased several times over the past few days due to its fast and good work at the construction site, in addition to Ji An's beastmaster status.

Even if it only worked for half a day, it was still paid 1200 a day.

The bear itself was equivalent to more than ten laborers.

Wouldn't they then be able to afford the sweetgrass milk every day?

However, what made Ji An sad was that the winter bear cub's appetite had also increased as it evolved.

From the initial 1 liter per day, it had increased to 1.5 liters.

The wages he earned every day at the construction site were not even enough to cover the bear cub's expenses.

Fortunately, due to Huang Liang's generous "donation", Ji An was now quite wealthy and could afford it.

When Ji An had asked the bear cub to do the liming and move materials, after the little fellow's initial curiosity and excitement had slowly died down, it had gotten increasingly reluctant.

However, after a few days of hard work and liming, it found that the proficiency of its Monstrous Strength was soaring.

In just three days, it rose from 13 to 58, an average of 15 points per day.

As such, the winter bear cub was also gradually taking pleasure in doing this.

For the winter bear cub, what could be happier than seeing its strength grow day by day?

If it were to encounter the black bear that had almost choked it and made it unable to resist now, the winter bear cub was confident that it could send the other party flying with one hand.

This was the meaning of strength!

The sudden appearance of a familiar working with everyone at the construction site was undoubtedly an extremely rare and strange thing for the workers.

However, the workers at the construction site of the cheap rental houses in the southern district had gradually gotten used to the existence of the white bear that could lime and carry aluminum building materials.

Of course, the arrival of Ji An and the winter bear cub didn't cause the workers at the construction site to lose their jobs.

Even though the winter bear cub could do the work equivalent to ten people's hard work, it was only around for half a day, while the construction site operated all day long.

In addition, Li Jing wasn't sure how long Ji An's whim of letting his familiar lime at the construction site would continue.

Therefore, the number of laborers at the construction site did not decrease.

The arrival of the winter bear cub only reduced the workload of the workers at the construction site. It did not affect their livelihood.

The days passed by while the winter bear cub continued liming.

The winter bear cub's body size and strength were increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the beginning, the winter bear cub that had just arrived at the construction site was only 80 to 90 centimeters tall, half the height of a human.

After working at the construction site for half a month, it had now completed its fifth Morphing and was already 1.23 meters tall.

After completing ten Morphings and entering the Extraordinary level, an adult winter bear would be two to three meters tall.

During the ten Morphings, the winter bear's size would also increase by leaps and bounds.

By the tenth Morphing, it should be able to easily break through the two-meter mark.

Ji An looked at the winter bear cub, who was as tall as a human teenager, and couldn't help but smile, "Little guy, I think it won't be long before you'll be taller than me."

Half a month of construction training allowed the winter bear cub's mastery of the Monstrous Strength to advance by leaps and bounds. Rather, it had caught up from behind and surpassed Hard Ice and Ice-breaking Palm in terms of mastery realms.

It had become the winter bear cub's skill that was only second to Hibernation.

[Monstrous Strength (209/695)]

Monstrous Strength had successfully entered the third realm of skill mastery, which was the Proficient realm

As for Hibernation, after more than half a month of non-stop training, of which the winter bear cub spent most of the time sleeping, the skill had broken through to the fourth realm, which was the Mastery realm.

Hibernation in the Mastery realm was of great help to the winter bear cub's strength improvement.

This was a skill realm that most winter bears would find difficult to reach in their entire lives.

Just by sleeping every day, under the influence of Hibernation, which had reached the Mastery realm, the strength of the winter bear cub would increase by the day.

If not for the breakthrough in Hibernation, it would have been difficult for the winter bear cub to advance two evolution levels in a short period of 20 days.

Usually, it would take two to three months for a familiar subdued by a beastmaster to advance one rank during the Morphing stage.

Moreover, the further one advanced, the more difficult it would be to improve.

It was already an anomaly for a familiar to advance by leaps and bounds like the winter bear cub.

Now, the winter bear cub's data was:

[Race]: Winter Bear

[Race Level]: Lower Extraordinary

[Evolution Level]: Fifth Morphing

[Energy Level]: 68.5

[Acquired Skills]: Hibernation (328/800), Hard Ice (197/785), Ice-breaking Palm (176/720), Monstrous Strength (209/695)

[Potential Skills]: Cold Air (0/682), Avalanche Impact (0/553)

Half a month of hard training had allowed the winter bear cub's Hibernation and Monstrous Strength to both achieve a qualitative breakthrough.

However, even though Hard Ice and Ice-breaking Palm had improved by quite a bit, they had not been upgraded to a new realm, which was the Proficient realm with a mastery value of over 200.

This made Ji An feel both regretful and helpless.

He had thought of many ways to improve the winter bear cub's Hard Ice and Ice-breaking Palm, which it had mastered earlier on.

However, the current training methods were not of much help to the winter bear cub's two skills.

First, Hard Ice.

Even though Ji An was already stronger than an ordinary adult, it was still difficult for him to achieve a training effect by striking the Hard Ice on the winter bear cub's body with an iron rod or hammer.

The winter bear cub's Hard Ice that was close to the Proficient realm was simply too thick.

Many adult Extraodinar-level winter bears would only be able to master the Hard Ice skill to the Proficient realm.

The winter bear cub could be considered to be approaching this realm in advance.

How could Ji An possibly break the defense of this kind of Hard Ice?

As for the original brick-splitting training, it was similarly rendered useless.

The winter bear cub didn't even need to use the Ice-breaking Palm now. With its current Monstrous Strength, it only needed to exert a little force and a hollow cement brick would be smashed into pieces like tofu.

Due to the lack of a good training method, the winter bear cub's mastery progress of its two elementary skills was relatively slow and was stuck before the third realm.

Ji An planned to change its training method after today's training.

The training of liming and carrying materials was no longer of much help to the winter bear cub, whose Monstrous Strength skill had already reached the Proficient realm.

After all, the winter bear cub could even lift a steel roll that weighed a few tons to the roof with its Monstrous Strength.

If it wanted to make another breakthrough in Monstrous Strength, it would need other training methods other than waiting for the skill to improve over time.

For example, using a gravity field created by an earth-type familiar to carry out gravity training.

Gravity training was originally the usual way to activate Monstrous Strength.

However, doing so was very expensive, and Ji An couldn't afford it.

As such, Ji An decided to stop the winter bear cub's training on Monstrous Strength for a while.

He would first place more importance on Hard Ice and Ice-breaking Palm.

Even though both were elementary skills, they were important to the bear cub in battle. He could not give them up.

Moreover, the mastery of racial skills like Hard Ice and Ice-breaking Palm would also affect the future evolution form of the winter bear cub.
