"Finally got it done."

When Li Pu returned to the top of the valley with the last piece of mushroom fragment, he let out a long breath.

100 usable fragments, finally made up a complete set of the related item.

Before taking a break, he couldn't wait to let Caocao acquire [Small Fireball].

After spending 1500 Crystal Coins on the learning cost, he now had just over 100 left.

And the Grassman's original combat power of 22, after consecutively acquiring [Mushroom Poison Antibody] and [Small Fireball], reached a new high, breaking through the 30-point mark.

Grassman: LV4, Listen to the Wind

Strength: 22→31, F

Attribute: 10 Wood

Ability: [Gratitude]

Skills: [LV1 Snail Grass (C)][LV1 Entangle (F)][LV1 Mushroom Poison Antibody (D)][LV1 Small Fireball (F)]

Artifact: [Smart Roots (B+)]

Perhaps the Grassman's physical qualities hadn't improved, but with the increase in combat power, its ability [Gratitude] feedback made Li Pu feel a bit stronger, which was quite a good phenomenon.

So far, he was fairly satisfied with the Grassman's skill combination.

A burst (?) skill, [Snail Grass].

A control skill, [Entangle].

A defensive passive, [Mushroom Poison Antibody].

And a ranged attack method, [Small Fireball].

Even though the grade of skills besides [Snail Grass] wasn't particularly high.

But it's just the beginning now, these skills are just the foundation.

In his ideal state, based on these foundations, it should be fine to continue enhancing the skills themselves by fusion.

Before the first transfer, the Grassman can only have up to 5 skills.

Which means, there's still one slot, and Li Pu wants to find a skill that enhances its close combat capability.

Before encountering a suitable one, he doesn't plan to acquire it yet.

"Come on, show us."

After completing this, Li Pu sat down and commanded the Grassman.

The newly learned skill, of course, needed to be tested for its effect.

[Caocao!]

The Grassman raised its arms in celebration, it was also very much looking forward to itself.

It slightly sank its waist, placing both grass hands on one side of its body.

While building momentum, it mumbled unintelligibly.

[Eat groove eat groove eat groove...!]

"Why does this posture look so familiar."

Li Pu felt as if he had seen it in a cartoon before.

In the next instant, he had a brainwave.

If [Small Fireball] is used in combination with [Snail Grass], will there be an amazing effect?

[Snail Grass]: Unleash an attack with greatly increased power

[Fireball]: Release a fireball to attack

From the information, it seems like they can be combined and overlapped.

But watching the Fire Mushroom's performance, it's clear that the F-level [Fireball] has an incredibly slow release speed.

If combined with the slow-triggering [Snail Grass], wouldn't it be even slower?

Having the leisure to daydream means the Grassman's release of [Fireball] is truly too slow.

From the start, several seconds passed before Li Pu finally saw a wisp of flame appear between its two hands.

And yet that wisp of flame...

Set the Grassman on fire.

"Uh..."

[Grass?!]

Neither Li Pu nor the Grassman expected this scene.

"Careless indeed."

Watching the flame quickly spread from the Grassman's arm to its upper body made him feel a "clown turned out to be myself" kind of helpless amusement.

He had been focused on wanting the Grassman to conjure fireballs, forgetting its flammable nature.

No wonder summoned beasts initially couldn't acquire cross-attribute skills, it seems the current situation illustrates one of the reasons why.

Not to mention using a fireball to attack enemies, it couldn't even conjure a complete fireball before this happened.

If it's used in combat, it might end up perishing before the enemy.

"It looks like this skill can't be used temporarily until a solution is found."

Watching the clucking Grassman rush towards the lake, Li Pu sighed and covered his forehead.

The Grassman's dream of becoming a fireball-conjuring grand mage seemed so close, yet this sudden hurdle pulled it back again.

But he believed it wouldn't stump him, he'd figure out a way to solve it.

As the Grassman just leapt into Moonlight Lake, Li Pu suddenly heard human words from behind.

"Why have you turned green."

The voice appeared out of thin air, giving him quite a fright.

Turning around, it was actually his chosen [Sprint] teacher, Li Fan.

Li Fan also belonged to the attractive category, but previously he always gave Li Pu a kind of slightly dashing vibe.

However, now with the hazy moonlight, it was like...

Just a wanderer standing under the moonlight.

"Uh..."

As for turning green, Li Pu felt helpless too.

The strange liquid given by the little treant seemed to have a detumescent effect, so he drank a few more sips for convenience.

As a result, while the swollen feet healed, his skin temporarily turned sap green.

It was better now, right after drinking it, his skin was even greener.

"Mr. Li, how come you're here."

Li Pu felt that this kind of encounter was really too coincidental.

"Don't talk about that yet, did you do all this?"

Li Fan's sight was drawn to the remaining mushroom fragments on the ground.

"Yeah, wanted to gather some materials to sell."

After learning about the trading station, Li Pu had a good excuse.

"Oh? Did you have any harvest yesterday?"

Recalling yesterday's phone call, Li Fan realized.

Coupled with the assistant principal's previous explanation, it seemed this kid had initially developed the ability to act alone in the southern forest.

"Not bad, sold for a few thousand small Crystal Coins."

Since there were records in the trading station, Li Pu didn't plan to hide it.

"Hmm?"

This answer made Li Fan slightly surprised.

Cross out the "beginner" from "initial development."

The materials that could be sold for a few thousand Crystal Coins either have a large quantity or a high grade.

He suddenly felt that perhaps his own matters could be left to this student.

Since the school's four directions, just clearing the west side today had already been exhausting.

This task needed not only strength but also patience.

The weakest magical beasts in the south, maybe the student could handle it.

With that in mind, a plan was already forming in Li Fan's heart.

"Um..."

He lit a cigarette, looking into the distance: "Have you heard of cubic cards?"

His expression was as wistful as it gets.

It seemed like this person had many stories.

[Grass!]

At that moment, the Grassman crawled back up.

Sopping wet, it shook itself like a little dog.

The splashing water extinguished Li Fan's cigarette directly.

"..."

Li Fan thought what a lousy Grassman, such a rare moment of acting cool got ruined by you.

"Uh, Teacher Li, if you have something to say, just say it."

To compensate for the Grassman's rudeness, Li Pu quickly gave him an out.
