My Divine Beasts Are Really Not Evil Gods-Chapter 28: Proficiency Template

The more Lu Yu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Why do most people give up after trying so hard?
It's not just because of laziness, but because they can't see the results of their efforts.
You don't know if the direction you're heading in is right or wrong.
In this process, you feel lost, uneasy, and that your efforts aren't being rewarded, which ultimately leads to giving up.
Yet, some crudely made web games can get countless people addicted. A big reason is that they can see the characters they control constantly leveling up.
Do quests—get rewards and experience—level up the character—do more quests, thus forming a positive feedback loop.
The sense of accomplishment it brings is something that can't be felt in reality.
That's why so many people get addicted to virtual worlds; more than that, it's because they feel recognized and have found meaning in their efforts.
If you could get an attribute panel that gave constant feedback on your progress while studying, ninety percent of people would become diligent top students.
With a normal reconnaissance-type skill, you could check a pet beast's data, but you couldn't point out the correct direction for improvement.
Even a top-tier prophecy-type Beast Tamer couldn't guarantee that the future they saw was the correct one.
However, Lu Yu could.
Because he was the 【Master of the Gate】, the owner of the Key of Truth, the man who held Truth in his hands!
His Eye of Truth was linked to the Gate of Truth, allowing it to show the most correct path.
If he digitized it, he could totally create a Proficiency Template!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't wait to activate his Eye of Truth.
Inside his pupils, purple Void Vines intertwined into the pattern of a mysterious eye, overlapping as the Little Spider's data appeared before him.
【Race: Void Dream-Corroding Spider】
【Strength: Mid-stage Servant】
【Racial Potential: Top-tier Overlord】
【Skills: Spider Silk…】
【Evaluation: …】
The Information Template, identical to before, showed the Little Spider's current status.
However, Lu Yu wasn't satisfied with just this.
As he used his Eye of Truth further, he began to integrate it with his own memories.
This process was not simple.
The Red Copper Spirituality in his body began to drain rapidly. Thankfully, he had meditated all night and increased it by quite a bit, otherwise, it would have been depleted in no time.
As his spirituality was continuously consumed, the data on the template began to blur and warp. After using up half of his spirituality, a brand new, more concise and clear template finally appeared before Lu Yu.
【Race: Void Dream-Corroding Spider】
【Skills: Phantasm (Entry-level 25%), Spider Silk (Entry-level 54%), Dream Prison (Entry-level 81%), Void's Blessing (Entry-level 40%), Dreamscape's Blessing (Entry-level 42%), Rending Demon Eye (Entry-level 20%), Void Treasure Chest (Entry-level 20%), Void Ray (Entry-level 60%), Etherealization (Entry-level 20%), Mind's Eye Soul-Controlling Sword (Proficient-level 60%), Void Matriarch's Nest (Entry-level 0%)】
"It worked!"
A look of joy appeared on Lu Yu's face. His idea was feasible, just as he thought.
And to prevent a data explosion later on, he had deliberately chosen not to use a numerical system, instead adopting a percentage-based Experience Bar.
This way, he could clearly see the feedback from its training.
The Little Spider was truly worthy of being a Top-tier Overlord cub. All its skills started at a minimum of Entry-level 20% proficiency, a head start from the beginning.
And its 【Mind's Eye Soul-Controlling Sword】 was already at Proficient-level, with its experience bar more than halfway full.
This was a boon from the Heavenly Nun, which had already become a part of the Little Spider's knowledge.
It just needed to train step-by-step to integrate it into itself, turning it into a physical instinct. Soon, it could advance to Expert-level, and maybe even become its first skill to reach Perfect-level proficiency.
However, the obvious zero next to Void Matriarch's Nest made Lu Yu pause for a moment, but he quickly figured it out. It was because it hadn't created any Slave Beasts.
It was like a beehive; without Worker Bees to go out and gather resources, it was just an empty shell.
"I have to get the training for all these skills on the schedule, or I'll be wasting the Little Spider's potential!"
Lu Yu muttered, then interrupted the diligently training Little Spider.
As it looked on in confusion, he extended a finger and lightly tapped the spot between its brows.
The six Void Eyes behind the Little Spider trembled.
Mysterious vines spread within its pupils, weaving into the pattern of an eye, identical to Lu Yu's.
Although he couldn't lend it the Eye of Reality directly, he could use a Soul Link to transmit the data generated by the Eye of Reality to the Little Spider in real-time.
Lu Yu had essentially become a server, constantly sending out data.
"Ying!?"
The Little Spider was also a bit surprised, its small mouth agape as it looked at the Illusory Screen appearing in its mind.
Although it couldn't read the words, it could understand their meaning.
(.
) Proficiency Template?
Seeing the Little Spider's confused expression, Lu Yu said with a smile:
"Go on, give it a try."
"Ying ying!"
The Little Spider nodded, then continued to condense its Spider Silk, starting to weave all sorts of patterns.
It focused its mind intently on the spread of the silk; every step had to be cautious, or the threads would stick together.
After ten minutes, the Little Spider suddenly remembered the Proficiency Template.
It diverted one of its Void Eyes to take a look, nearly causing the silk in the air to disintegrate.
【Spider Silk (Entry-level 55%)】
The proficiency had increased by one percent!
In other words, its training was on the right track!
"Ying ying ying!"
The Little Spider chirped joyfully.
This feeling of seeing feedback on its results was simply too satisfying.
The originally tedious and boring task of condensing Spider Silk instantly became fun.
Unlike before, when it had forced itself to train just to make its master happy, the Little Spider now looked completely engrossed, spitting out large amounts of silk that morphed into countless shapes in the air.
In this process, if the training direction was correct, the increase was faster.
If the direction was wrong, the increase slowed down or even stagnated, allowing for targeted adjustments.
The proficiency level instantly shot up.
But as Lu Yu watched this scene, he couldn't help but worry. Would his little angel become a King of Involution from now on?
'Should I implement an Anti-addiction Mode?'
In the end, Lu Yu extinguished this thought.
He had to support his child's positive hobbies.
However, three hours later, Lu Yu wasn't smiling anymore.
Even though he was using the Eye of Truth at its lowest frequency, keeping it active for so long meant his spirituality was about to bottom out. A profound exhaustion welled up from the depths of his soul.
If he had to describe it…
It was like he'd been completely hollowed out!
If this continued… he'd be drained dry sooner or later!
So, Lu Yu decisively deactivated his Eye of Truth. Facing the Little Spider's puzzled gaze, he couldn't just admit that he couldn't handle it, could he!
That would damage his glorious image.
So Lu Yu forced a smile and said with a straight face:
"You have to balance work and rest, even when training!"
"Ying…"
The Little Spider nodded, though it still seemed unsatisfied.
Master wouldn't lie to it, so that means it's time to take a good rest.
Although the time was short, the results were obvious. The proficiency of its Spider Silk had already reached Proficient-level 1%.
After all, it was just a basic Rankless Skill, so it improved quickly.
The new Spider Silk didn't look much different, but when Lu Yu touched it, he could feel that its toughness and stickiness had greatly improved, its hardness no less than that of an ordinary steel wire.
And this was just Proficient-level. What kind of changes would there be when it reached Expert-level?
'Sweeping threads that could slice through anything?'
Proficiency Template, YYDS!
[TL] YYDS is Chinese internet slang for '永远的神', meaning 'eternal god'.

Looking at the Little Spider's unsatisfied expression, Lu Yu felt a headache coming on. His pet beast was going full try-hard, but he himself couldn't keep up!
What a great humiliation!
Leaving the Dreamscape, returning to reality.
The moment Lu Yu woke from the dream, he felt exhausted. Because the room's dark curtains were drawn, he turned on the light, picked up the mirror from the nightstand, and took a look.
His face was pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and he had the look of someone who had overindulged, on the verge of death.
The Kidney-Deficient Young Master was online!
Thinking about how every night would be like this from now on, Lu Yu suddenly felt his future was bleak.
He felt he had to resort to some science and ruthless tricks.
For example, getting some little pills, or…
Reviving that five-star rank Ghost Tree!
But where was he supposed to get so many souls?
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Just as he was plotting how to replenish his energy, a rhythmic knocking sound suddenly came, as if someone was at the door.
"Is someone here?"
Lu Yu was about to open the door when he suddenly froze, his pupils shrinking and his heart starting to race.
He suddenly remembered something.
Behind him wasn't a door, but a glass window.
What's more…
This was the eleventh floor
