C35 Tailor!
Although it was already nighttime, Zhan Tianming still decided to continue forward.
While he was traveling, he thought about a peculiar problem.
The Crimson Flame Ape was no doubt a force to be reckoned with, yet that Grade One beast rushed towards it without caring about the consequences. Its end was tragic and predictable: it was turned into a meat patty.
'Weird, really weird.'
'Are these demonic beasts not aware of this awesome concept called fleeing at the first sight of trouble?'
Zhan Tianming had no idea that his body was currently emitting a medicinal scent that could make any demonic beast go crazy for his body.
On the other hand, Zhang Young, responsible for this scent, had no idea that he had actually helped Zhan Tianming instead of harming him.
This medicinal scent couldn't be detected by ordinary beasts and vicious beasts.
However, it had a fatal attraction to demonic beasts.
Just a whiff of it, and any demonic beasts would go bonkers.
They would rush towards him with all their might.
Results...
All of them died under the fists of the Crimson Flame Ape.
Meanwhile, Zhan Tianming would just there and reap free experience points.
"Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Awesome!"
"This is just awesome!"
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, you have killed the Green Thorny Pig. You are rewarded with 2700 experience points, 1 Green Thorny Pig's head (Quest Item), 1 portion of special grade pork, and 1 portion of pig blood essence."
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, you have obtained a first-grade Wood Attribute demon core. Would you like to absorb it?"
Another Grade One Demonic Beast was killed.
"Absorb."
"Ding dong!"
"Absorption successful! Wood attribute damage added."
Zhan Tianming stood on the Crimson Flame Ape's shoulder and shouted in high spirits.
"Who is next?!"
All those demonic beasts who ponced on him died without exception.
Moreover, all this killing also increased the ape's strength.
Beasts, vicious beasts, demonic beasts—kill them all!
His experience points were skyrocketing like crazy.
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has broken through—you are now a nine-star Martial Disciple! You are rewarded with 1 attribute point."
Just as Zhan Tianming and the ape were about to reach the Wolf Valley, he found that he had broken through and was now a nine-star Martial Disciple.
Just one day, and he leveled up again.
By the time they reached the valley, it was already deep in the night.
So, Zhan Tianming decided against entering the Wolf Valley.
There were too many wolves in the Wolf Valley.
Also, they would be especially fierce since it was nighttime.
The Crimson Flame Ape could help him deal with some wolves; even then, the endeavor would be a pain.
Even though he wasn't going to enter the valley in the nighttime, it didn't mean he was going to rest.
His control over the ape was about to come to an end.
He once again activated Beast Control towards and tried to regain his control over the ape.
"Ding dong! Beast control failed!"
"Ding dong! Beast control failed!"
"Failed!"
"Failed!"
The success rate was low, exponentially low.
But Zhan Tianming did not panic and kept on using Beast Control.
Being a Level-4 Beast Tamer gave him twice the usual success rate in taming the ape. However, the twice here was just for show. Why? If one converted that "twice" in percentage, they would find that it meant a success rate of about 2%.
If he tried 100 times, he would only succeed 2 times. Or, 1 time every 49 failures.
Despite the miserable odds, Zhan Tianming kept trying.
"Beast Control!"
"Failed!"
"Beast Control!"
"Failed!"
"Beast Control!"
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, you have tamed the Crimson Flame Ape."
"Phew..."
Zhan Tianming let out a sigh of relief.
With less than two minutes left, he was successful in regaining his control over the ape.
This wasn't the first time he had regained his control over the ape.
After all, from the first time he had controlled the ape, nearly ten hours had passed.
Anyway, Zhan Tianming brought the ape and began looking around the valley.
He would kill any beast as soon as he saw one, showing no mercy.
The system space had long been filled to the brim.
Regardless of the chaos and destruction the ape caused, Zhan Tianming just sat on its head and looked through the system.
Occupation: Tailor.
Level: 0
Experience: 99/100
"Just a little more."
Zhan Tianming stared at the system interface.
After killing beasts and vicious beasts, there was a certain probability of getting their furs. These furs could be useful once he leveled up his Tailor profession. As long as it was upgraded to Level 1, he could activate it in three seconds.
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, you have killed..."
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, your Tailor profession has been leveled up. You are now a Level-1 Tailor."
He had leveled up.
He could finally tailor his own clothes now that he was Level-1 Tailor.
Zhan Tianming grinned.
Immediately, he opened the system shop.
Gold Dragon Bloodline: 100,000,000 Dragon Qi
Azure Dragon Bloodline: 100,000,000 Dragon Qi
...
His smile left as swiftly as it came after seeing the string of zeros.
To look for cheaper items, he kept on scrolling down.
Basic Tailoring Technique (Hat, Clothing, Pants, Shoes, Gloves): 10 Dragon Qi
"Buy!"
Instantly, his dragon qi points went from 101 to 91.
"Use it."
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, you have learned Basic Tailoring Technique."
Without any delay, he took out all his fur collection and...
Went to town with this Tailor thing.
"Stitching!"
"Ding dong! Stitching failed! Proficiency +1."
"Stitching!"
"Ding dong! Stitching failed! Proficiency +1."
"Stitching!"
"Ding dong! Stitching successful! 1 piece of leather armor is produced. Proficiency +3."
"Stitching!"
"Ding dong…"
Zhan Tianming continuously used his tailoring skills.
After an incense stick of time, all the fur and animal skin had disappeared from his system space.
"Damn it! This success rate is too low."
Zhan Tianming was a little dissatisfied.
However, there was no other way.
Currently, the level was only a Level-1 Tailor, so it would be strange if he could achieve a high success rate.
Taking another look at his system space, he found that he now had three pieces of leather armor, a pair of leather gloves, a pair of leather pants, and two pairs of leather shoes.
With all that fur and leather gone, his system space was much emptier now.
Zhan Tianming decided to wear the leather articles and then looked at his attributes.
Then he looked at the system.
Defense: 9 (+78)
Not bad.
It was much better than his original clothes.
No! Waaay better than his normy clothes.
While looking at his stats, he had to double take on one of the stats.
"Two points of luck?"
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pair of shoes with an additional attribute of luck attached.
"Haha, not bad, not bad at all."
Zhan Tianming laughed and then checked the other two pieces of leather armors and a pair of leather shoes. Unfortunately, they did not have additional attributes.
'Forget it, being able to tailor a pair of shoes with attributes while being a Level-1 Tailor is already good enough.'
He brought out the system interface after that.

Dragon Qi: 91.
Without thinking, Zhan Tianming added all 24 points to the attack stat.
Attack: 310 points.
"Open the professions panel."
Following Zhan Tianming's voice, the interface flipped to the profession page.
Beast Tamer (Level-4)
Cook (Level-1)
Tailor (Level-1)

Alchemist (Level-0)
...
After that, he opened the system shop and scrolled to the bottom.
Zhan Tianming selected a map.
"Buy."
