Chapter 139: The Minor Elemental Realm
Because Yi Lunyou said before, Li Pu's summoner beasts receive special training such that the summoner cannot watch from the side.
So, after leaving enough cultivation materials for the Honey Flower, Cai Yan bid farewell.
However, before leaving, he stealthily used his watch to measure the seemingly silly-looking straw man.
The feedback he received was actually [0 Transition, LV21].
This made him convinced yet very shocked.
Convinced because it seems Yi Lunyou indeed wasn't lying to him.
His junior's own summoner beasts have been trained to such a degree, which sufficiently proves his high level of training.
Shocked because it's been less than a month since school started.
A new student already has a summoner beast exceeding LV20, which is an incredibly frightening speed of training!
At this rate, wouldn't a 1 transition be completed within two months?
However, Cai Yan's estimation is actually too conservative.
With those aphids at the Great Rock Wall, the straw man reaching max level LV30 doesn't need two months.
Only the issue of Crystal Coins is needed.
So next, the Bee Maiden and the Honey Flower started suffering through painful yet enjoyable training to become stronger.
Earlier than the agreed time, after 4 days, Li Pu completed the agreed upgrade task.
This time he was careful to let the straw man exchange wrist communication numbers with the other party.
So upon completing the task, Cai Yan immediately received the message and arrived.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still very surprised to see the two summoner beasts, covered in injuries, looking listless yet incredibly healthy and had successfully upgraded.
Li Pu then took the pre-negotiated commission and left elegantly.
During these 4 days, he wasn't working tirelessly day and night.
From previous experiences, he managed to balance work and rest well, not missing out on meals or sleep.
Thus, with a bulging wallet and full of energy, he and the straw man again headed towards the Great Rock Wall.
Still using the old strategy, the straw man used [Small Fireball] to target and collected sufficient quantities of related materials from the fifth kind of mutant aphid - the Sickle Aphid.
Continuing to delve deeper along the Great Rock Wall, encountering new aphid species like Sword Aphid, Spear Aphid, Gun Aphid, Ivory Aphid, Star Hammer Aphid, etc.
But strangely, ever since the straw man obtained the artifact [Iron Bone], the strange [Tiger Iron Bone] hasn't dropped again.
Li Pu couldn't figure out the reasoning behind it, so he continued hunting creatures.
When the Crystal Coin was used up, the straw man's level reached LV25.
Straw Man: LV25, Listening to the Wind
Strength: 112, F
Attribute: 10 Wood
Ability: [Appreciation][Water Film]
Skills: [LV1 Snail Grass (C)][LV1 Entangle (F)][LV1 Will Antibody (D)][LV1 Small Fireball (C)]
Artifact: [Wisdom Root (B+)][Iron Bone (A)]
Though he has spent all his money, Li Pu didn't leave immediately.
Instead, he continued to explore the Great Rock Wall thoroughly to determine the remaining types of aphids.
The conclusion was, with sufficient Crystal Coins, those creatures could almost let the straw man reach max level.
"So the next task still needs to make money."
Sitting on a big tree branch, Li Pu talked to himself while opening a bottle of cola.
[Grass!]
The straw man below immediately exclaimed with distress.
You're just a mere human, drinking water is good enough, why drink cola!
Ignoring the straw man's protests, Li Pu started to ponder.
Training commissions aren't available every day, and hunting in the southern forest is too slow for making money for his current self.
The fastest way to earn money now seems to be completing Old Tu's small elemental realm collection task and earning that remaining 10,000 payout.
He had previously inquired from Old Tu, perhaps because it's a solo dungeon, the small elemental realm's size is even smaller than the little Yama realm that time.
Finding an elemental core inside might not be too difficult.
However, Old Tu also warned that it could be a bit dangerous, advising Li Pu to make adequate preparations before exploring.
So he plans to wait until the straw man reaches max level before going, feeling it's more prudent.
Moreover, the 10,000 payout is planned for the straw man's learning cost for [Sprint].
"But now that the straw man's level isn't low, maybe we can take a look inside?"
Thinking of this, Li Pu was immediately a bit tempted.
Looking around, seeing no interfering factors nearby, he took out the dungeon crystal.
As for the usage of the dungeon crystal, he had already been instructed.
If it were himself a few weeks ago, he really wouldn't have been able to use it.
Buzz…
With the infusion of summoner power, a narrow spatial rift half the width of a person appeared in front.
But the nature of a spatial rift is different, its capacity isn't related to surface area size.
[Caocao!]
Excited about exploring the new world, the straw man seemed very excited.
To be cautious, Li Pu let it go in for reconnaissance first.
[Caocaocao~]
Soon after, the straw man returned, indicating that there was no problem inside.
Li Pu then stepped inside, just like last time, the feeling of weightlessness descended, visual coverage blocked.
Once restored, he saw the surrounding scene change.
"It's not quite like I imagined."
Originally, Li Pu thought the small elemental realm should be a place of mountains and waters, but upon arrival found it was actually a vast sandy desert.
About 20 meters away from the dungeon light door, quite a few magical beasts were roaming, not less than a dozen at least.
In the small elemental realm, the magical beasts are naturally elemental monsters.
But here, the elemental monsters greatly differed from Li Pu's knowledge.
Previously seen on TV, like a wind element, was a tornado whirlwind.
For example, a fire element, was a fireball person.
Also, a water element, was a wave-like person.
And here, the beasts... were all slimes!
Different colors seemingly correspond to different elements.
But because they resembled large jelly-like slimes, there was an inferior or knock-off feeling compared to the various elemental summoner beasts on TV.
Li Pu had the straw man use its watch to test one of the bluish-white slimes, immediately getting results.
[Beep beep!]
[Low-Level Wind Element]: 0 Transition LV30
Chasing the Wind, 10 Wind, F
[Historical Bomb Shock (F)]: Launch a meaningless assault
F-level magical beast, doesn't appear very strong.
But its level is quite high.
After beeping a few other slimes, [Low-Level Earth Element][Low-Level Sand Element], all were 0 Transition LV30 max level.
"Feels... quite average."
This result made Li Pu wonder if Old Tu was being overcautious.
Moreover, facing wind, earth, and sand attributes, the straw man's attribute field has the advantage.
"Go ahead, test one out."
Pointing to the nearest wind element slime.
[Grass!]
Straw man acknowledged and charged forward.
