At most, one can rely on their awakened talents to do work related to those talents.
Of course, some people's talents are quite impressive. For example, those who excel in breeding Exotic Beasts, even if they can't become Beastmasters, they can still achieve certain status.
Take Mo Qingchen, for instance, even if he can't become a Beastmaster, he can still carry sacks at the dock or move bricks at a construction site, accomplishing the work of ten men. Isn't it easy for him to become prosperous?
"These goddamned Abyssal Rules, really something else."
Cursing softly, Mo Qingchen was forced to accept the reality.
Though still displeased, he had to remain extremely vigilant, cautiously floating down from the sewer opening.
That's right, floating!
With a Spiritual Power attribute of 20, he had the ability to lift a 200-pound object with Telekinesis.
Even though he had muscles, his height was just over 1.8 meters, and he weighed only 150 pounds. Including clothes, the Space Backpack, and a gas mask, it added up to less than 10 pounds.
He could completely use Telekinesis to lift himself and experience the thrill of flying.
Flying in the sky is impossible, at least not now.
With his Spiritual Power enveloping his body, he slowly descended through the sewer opening and soon landed on the ground.
Dark, damp, with garbage and sludge everywhere, quite fitting the sewer's scenario.
Through a Spiritual Power search, he found no trace of mutant rats within 20 meters.
Mo Qingchen walked slowly to the mutated rat he had just killed, pulled out the rebar stuck in the big rat's eye, then took out a net bag and placed the mutated rat's corpse inside, hanging it on his belt.
The tunnels inside the sewer were intricate and complex, and Mo Qingchen did not plan on wandering aimlessly.
He took out ordinary honey purchased earlier from the Space Backpack, opened the lid, and placed it directly at the corner of the tunnel while he hid on the other side of the corner.
Although this honey had most of its essence consumed after soaking the Unihorn Insect Egg, some residue remained.
Now it could be used to lure the rats.
The rats had very keen sense of smell and could detect the smell of food from dozens of meters away.
Honey is a good thing for many Exotic Beasts.
It's likely able to attract nearby mutant rats.
After waiting for a full half hour, just when Mo Qingchen was getting impatient, his dispersed Spiritual Power finally detected the movement of rats.
Two mutant rats lurking in the shadows, peeking and sniffing around.
After sensing no danger, they cautiously walked toward the metal bucket placed in the tunnel.
The aroma of honey, even in such a foul-smelling place like the sewer, was fully enticing.
The eyes of the two mutant rats showed some desire, slightly lowering their vigilance.
"Finally, prey arrives."
He muttered to himself, two rebars the length of chopsticks silently floated up under Telekinesis, aiming at the approaching rats' eyes.
At the moment the rats greedily smelled the honey aroma emitted by the metal bucket, black shadows pierced through the air, spinning and shooting out.
With the sound of "squelch squelch," the rebars precisely punctured the rats' eyeballs and pierced into their brains.
The spinning rebars acted like stirring rods, instantly mixing their brains evenly.
With two "thump thump" falling sounds, the two mutant rats died without any resistance.

[Alert: Beastmaster kills Mutant Rat (Level 3), Guardian Beast gains Experience Points +3.]
[Alert: Detected Beastmaster has not contracted a Guardian Beast, gained Experience automatically dissipates.]
The annoying Abyss Pattern alert sound made Mo's slightly raised lips immediately droop.
"Goddamned Abyssal Rules!"
Cursing, Mo Qingchen walked over, picked up the two rat corpses, placed them in the net bag, and hid at the corner again.
The total weight of the three mutant rat corpses was about 32 pounds, after butchering and deboning, it was estimated to yield about 15 pounds of mutated rat meat, roughly worth about 1,800 Dragon Coins.
This was a significant gain, though it was still far from the money needed to raise a Guardian Beast.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
Just as Mo Qingchen hid not long after, continuous sounds of mutant rats echoed in the tunnel.
The dispersed Spiritual Power also sensed the rats' movement.
This time, it wasn't just two; it was a whole nest!
"Damn! Stirred up a rat's nest."
A total of eight small Rattata; among them, two stood erect at a height of 0.4 meters, clearly adults.
The other six small Rattata were only about 0.2 meters tall, evidently still in the Juvenile Stage.
Juvenile Stage mutant rats pose little threat to adults.
But in a one-on-many situation, even adults might be surrounded and killed.
However...
Mo Qingchen's lips subtly curled, two rebars the length of chopsticks quietly floated up.
Juvenile Stage mutant rats are great!
If they were eight adults, Mo would definitely retreat to guerilla combat.
But now, just fight directly!
Again, spinning rebars executed instant kills, blending the brains of two adult Rattata yellow.
The remaining six small Rattata didn't even have the slightest resistance before being forcibly lifted into the air by Mo Qingchen's Telekinesis.
These Juvenile Stage Rattata were all at Level 1, with Basic Attributes generally at 1 point, unable to break free from his Telekinesis restraint.
Seeing these light purple-haired mice struggling in the air, screaming fiercely.
Mo showed no sympathy, grabbing a sharpened steel rod and stabbing it into the open mouths of each little mouse.
The Abyss descended, ushering in the Beast Taming Era, bringing with it countless killings.
Globally, unknown numbers of rat plagues occur every year, causing countless damages.
Speaking of White Crane City, why does the government issue tasks every quarter for Beastmasters to enter city sewers to eradicate mutant rats?
It's because these creatures breed quickly and easily overflow, causing threats to city residents.
Even now, in the Beast Taming Era, without passing the Abyss's enforced newbie Trial Dungeon, one can never become a Beastmaster.
With only the Attribute Panel, 99.99% of people can't beat Tier Zero Exotic Beasts!

[Alert: Beastmaster kills Rattata (Level 1), Guardian Beast gains Experience Points +1.]

[Alert: Detected Beastmaster has not contracted a Guardian Beast, gained Experience automatically dissipates.]
A total of nine alert sounds made Mo Qingchen roll his eyes.
However, he harvested a full eight mutant rats, even though six were in the Juvenile Stage, their bodies yielding little meat, it was still a big gain.
