Chapter 3 Are you serious, you goblin?
“To control a beast, you must first control yourself.”
“You can’t even lift three tons of super star stones, what kind of beast master are you?”
“So you are young Are you interested in practicing martial arts with me? I have three ancient martial arts novels here..."
Zhou Lu, who came to the laboratory as promised, stood in front of the window sill and looked at the people in front of him with his hands on his hips. The little goblin turned to look at Wu Xiaoqing, who looked embarrassed next to her: "So, this is what you said?"
However, this is not his main concern.
The moment this little goblin appeared in front of him, the system in his body jumped out to a brand new task.
[Optional mission three: Kill Xiao Xi, the general knowledge fairy]
[Task introduction: Xiao Xi, the general knowledge fairy, is one of the guides who pointed out the spiritual beast cultivation route for Zhou Lu. Due to unknown reasons, he takes special care of Zhou Lu and is an indispensable role in Zhou Lu's growth. Killing her might prevent the birth of the Demon King. 】
[Task reward: Advanced Spiritual Beast Growth Potion*5, Beast Master Random Permanent Skill Card (A Level)*1]
This little guy who is making noises is actually my future guide?
"Of course not!" Wu Xiaoqing glanced nervously at the little goblin flying around Zhou Lu and said, "You are also a student of the Beast Control Academy in name only. Is there even a person in the academy? Don’t even the general fairies know?”
Wu Xiaoqing was wearing a white research uniform. The loose clothes could not hide her proud figure, and with her pretty face, it was no wonder that even a research geek was attracted by it. Many boys in the college pursued her, and there were even rumors that professors pursued her.
The General Knowledge Fairy is not a spiritual beast to be precise. It is the fruit of the True God-stage spiritual beast’s Seeking Tree.
Qiudao Muze is the spiritual pet of the Heavenly King Yuan Gensheng, who feeds on knowledge.
Yuan Gensheng is also the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Spiritual Animal Science". One of the responsibilities of the notification goblins is to "check for plagiarism" and determine the priority and importance of spiritual beast research through the goblin network.
Of course, you can also use the new information you have obtained to trade with general fairies and obtain fairy coins in exchange for the evolution route of your spiritual beast or skills you can learn, or other information that Qiudao Mu knows. Knowledge.
“So.” After explaining, Wu Xiaoqing sighed, “How did you get into the college?”
“Your dad is not a professor, you don’t understand.” Zhou Lu Talking nonsense.
"...The teacher is not such a person..." Wu Xiaoqing's pupils shrank and she said in shock.
Zhou Lu was speechless: "Do you really believe it? I passed the exam, okay?"
"Yes." Teacher Xiao Xi nodded and said, "I can testify to this, even if I add He got twenty points, but he did pass the test."
Wu Xiaoqing looked at Zhou Lu in admiration: "What did you do?"
Not yet. When Zhou Lu was talking, Xiao Xi was the first to speak: "A paper in the magazine "Spiritual Beast Science", although it is a second work."
Wu Xiaoqing said in surprise: "So Xiao Lu is so powerful?"
"Oh, that's right." Xiao Xi was looking at the fireworks brought by Zhou Lu, and suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember that article, his father wrote it."
Wu Xiaoqing fell into There was a long silence.
Zhou Lu touched his nose: "I told you, your dad is not a professor, you don't understand."
At this time, Xiao Xi, who was observing the fireworks, spoke again: "Old Zhou I really don’t think about you at all. I really asked you to make a contract with a grass? To be honest, this is the first time I have seen an initial spiritual pet contract plant spirit beast. I don’t know how you can survive the first time. A combat test..."
Pa!
Before the little goblin finished speaking, two leaves slapped it on the head, one on the left and one on the right, knocking it out.
Hanabi skillfully stretched out the branches, wrapped the little fairy's fallen body, and actually inserted the little fairy into the soil of the potted plant under her body with its head facing down.
All these movements were so smooth that neither Zhou and Lu could react.
"Xiao-xi-lao-teacher!!!" Wu Xiaoqing, who was the first to react, said in horror with her hands on her face.
Zhou Lu rubbed his brows, and after some persuasion, he finally let Hua Huo loosen the vines entangled with Xiao Xi and pull out the little goblin.
Wu Xiaoqing hurriedly carried Xiao Xi, who was covered in dirt, to the pool to wash herself.
【Ding! Mission failed. 】
At this moment, the sound of the system sounded in Zhou Lu's ears.
[You tried to kill Xiao Xi, the universal fairy, but the mission ultimately failed. 】
【But your behavior is worthy of appreciation. 】
[You have received 1% of the mission reward, please check it. 】
【The system has reset this task, please try again. 】
Huh? Is there any reward for mission failure? And it will be reset after failure... Doesn't that mean that I can use this to get rewards repeatedly? As long as you never achieve the result of completing the task, your profit expectations can be unlimited?
I finally understand why in those works, the villain repeatedly lets the protagonist go. It’s because it’s more profitable, right?
If your own destiny is not blocked, is it possible for other people who have obtained this system to let you go repeatedly in pursuit of higher-yield rewards?
The 1% reward is quite a lot. Although it has been reduced from five bottles of high-level growth potions and one beast master skill to three bottles of low-level growth potions, in this era when the cost of cultivating spiritual beasts has skyrocketed, this is equivalent to A reward of 90,000 yuan.
At this moment, Zhou Lu was really moved.
He looked at Wu Xiaoqing who was preparing something not far away. But this thought disappeared as soon as it appeared. Although the mission reward was very tempting, I was not a devil, and I would not hurt someone who treated me sincerely for such a reward.
But... Zhou Lu glanced at Hanabi helplessly: "What are you doing?"
Fireworks swing their leaves: they are seeds.
“Huh?” Zhou Lu was a little confused.
Hanabi's leaves drooped and she answered cautiously: I want to see if it sprouts.
Zhou Lu was stunned and smiled. Although he didn't quite understand what Hanabi was talking about, Zhou Lu could still feel its emotions through the beast control contract.
He raised his hand and rubbed the fluffy young leaves of Hanabi, and said with a smile: "There is no need to rush to prove yourself, no matter what others say, you are my initial spiritual pet. And who said that plant spiritual beasts are weak? Isn’t the Qiudao tree also a spiritual animal? ”
Having said that, Qiudaomu was not Yuan Gensheng's initial spiritual pet.
Plant spirit beasts cannot metamorphose and shed soil before reaching the second level. This is a fact that cannot be changed at all.
However, although it is a little weaker, its complete lack of combat power is too absolute. The plant spirit beast is just inconvenient to move, but it is not impossible to fight.
Entering, poisoning, whipping...these are the specialties of plant spirit beasts. Although their actual combat power is not as good as other animal spirit beasts that also belong to the grass type, they are still capable of combat.
But these skills all need to be learned.
To acquire skills, either Huahuo learns from other spirit beasts, or Huahuo realizes it on his own...
Thinking like this, Zhou Lu's eyes fell on Xiao Xi, who had just been rescued. He could also use Fairy coins can be exchanged with general fairies for ready-made skill cards.
However, the skill cards exchanged are general skills produced in standard mass production, and are not as powerful as the inherent skills learned or comprehended.
"Teacher Xiao Xi, Zhou Lu..." Wu Xiaoqing was very nervous. This was a general elf who wanted to please the entire academy.
Xiao Xi seemed to have not recovered from the dizziness just now, and she flew back to Hanabi again.
However, what Wu Xiaoqing was worried about did not happen. Xiao Xi took a look at the fireworks and said with great appreciation: "Very good! Young people are very energetic! This is how plant beasts should be!"
I almost forgot. Yes, Xiao Xi’s main body, the Seeking Tree, is a standard plant spirit beast.
"But next time, don't do this kind of sneak attack. It's so scary." Xiao Xi rubbed her head, turned to Zhou Lu and said, "I can probably guess why your father wants you to Contracted Mengyuhua. Although Mengyuhua rarely enters the transformation stage, as long as they transform into spiritual beasts, their racial skills can bring them infinite possibilities. The training period is indeed longer, but once they grow up, they become A coach-level beast master is still very possible."
Zhou Lu nodded repeatedly, knowing that Xiao Xi was right.
Although Hanabi is weak, its racial skill [Drain] is extremely powerful. As long as it is an enemy defeated by Hanabi, there is a certain probability of obtaining skills or random attributes from the opponent. Although the obtained Skills and attributes are most likely time-limited, but it is possible to absorb permanent skills and attributes. Hanabi's [Transportation] is a permanent skill that can be absorbed.
That [Transportation] skill was obviously the skill Hanabi learned from the bees she killed.
[Carrying]: With the Flying Jade Bee racial skill, you can carry items with a mass up to a hundred times your weight.
Bees carry things by absorbing them on their legs, while Hanabi probably stuffs them into their own flower pots, but no matter what, this is a very good auxiliary skill.
However, before Hanabi learns to walk, this skill is simply negative. No matter how many things Hanabi can carry, these are his burden.
"Teacher Xiao Xi." Since Xiao Xi seemed to be easy to talk to, Zhou Lu asked more aggressively, "Then do you know the special evolution route of Meng Yuhua?"
"Special evolution?" Xiao Xi pointed at the fireworks and rolled her eyes. "This one of yours is the second Mengyu flower that I have seen that transformed into a spiritual beast. There are so few samples. I don't even know the specific route of ordinary evolution." I don’t even know, let alone special. What’s more, even if I know, it may not be suitable for your dream flower.”
Special evolution is similar to a genetic mutation that can be actively induced. With evolution, even the race of the spiritual beast will change.
However, special evolution is extremely rare, and sometimes it is inseparable from the individual spirit beast. It is very likely that it is only suitable for the current spirit beast, and other spirit beasts of the same race are not applicable at all.
Hearing this, Zhou Lu was a little disappointed. This meant that even Qiudaomu didn't know the information about the evolution of Hanabi. He could only look for information about ancient books on the academy forum.
I had read the academy forum before coming here, but I didn’t see any posts related to ancient books at all. It seems that I will have to pay attention there more often in the future.
"Let's not talk about it for now." At this time, Wu Xiaoqing came up with a pot of mushrooms, "First fry some mushrooms for me, Xiao Lu."
Newbies and new books, please read them! This is really important to me!
