This Summoner Is Too Powerful

At this moment, the scarecrow submerged its entire body below the water surface, leaving only its head exposed.

[Caocao!]

Scarecrow: Summoner, hurry up!

It was urging Li Pu.

Because it knew that it was undergoing rebirth, and getting stronger was undeniably a joyful thing.

"No rush, take it easy."

Li Pu took out a LiLi mushroom, but wasn't very confident.

Although this thing can be effective on the scarecrow when eaten, the key point now is whether it can dissolve in the [A-183 type plant-specific solution].

Plop!

His hand released, letting the LiLi mushroom fall into the tank.

A few seconds later, several tiny bubbles appeared on the surface of the LiLi mushroom.

After a while, the tiny bubbles became more numerous, and the size of the LiLi mushroom gradually shrank.

[Grass!]

The scarecrow, also observing, showed interest.

[Caocao?]

Scarecrow: Summoner, did the mushroom get eaten by this water?

Eventually, amidst a cluster of tiny bubbles, the LiLi mushroom completely disappeared.

"Whew..."

At this point, Li Pu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The LiLi mushroom can dissolve in the solution, making the first step a success, indicating that it can be used as rebirth material when paired with the [A-183 type plant-specific solution].

"Let me check the next step."

He picked up the plan paper and continued reading.

The scarecrow curiously leaned over, reading along.

"For optimal effect, continuously add the same materials."

[Caocao! Caocao-caocao-caocao-caocao!]

"Until the solution is completely saturated and no more materials can dissolve."

[Caocao-caocao! Caocao!]

After confirming, Li Pu pondered for a moment.

He didn't know how many LiLi mushrooms could dissolve, but to be safe and not affect efficiency, he simply picked all the mature LiLi mushrooms.

All of them, thrown into the tank in one go.

Plop! xN

All at once, a vast amount of tiny bubbles began to pop up.

In a moment, almost all the LiLi mushrooms were dissolved.

Only a few leftover mushroom pieces were suspended up and down in the water.

This meant the solution was now saturated and couldn't dissolve more LiLi mushrooms.

Li Pu sighed in relief; the situation was almost perfectly sufficient.

The light of the rebirth altar started to flicker frequently, indicating the beginning of the official rebirth stage.

The next step was several hours of soaking time, during which he and the scarecrow didn't need to do anything more.

Perhaps due to boredom from restricted movement or the effect of the rebirth solution, the scarecrow soon fell asleep soaked in the tank.

And Li Pu thought he should find something to do during this waiting time.

So he considered it and put on rudimentary mechanical gloves.

After the monthly exam, he should go to the card room to play the ranking match.

Because, as Li Fan introduced, after setting the initial rank, one could receive a Crystal Coin reward.

Moreover, every month thereafter, a card player stipend would be given based on personal rank.

For someone like Li Fan, without doing anything for a month, just the card player stipend would yield about 50,000 Crystal Coins, which was undeniably pleasant.

Not just every month; even now, getting 50,000 would have many uses.

Li Pu didn't know how much his initial rank reward and card player stipend would be.

He didn't expect himself, still a rookie, to easily obtain a five-figure number like Li Fan.

If he could surpass a thousand in a month, that would already be delightful, since that was essentially free.

His reluctance to play the ranking match was mostly due to two reasons.

First, he was a rookie after all, not familiar enough with the card games.

Sometimes in the Cube Card World matching battle, he would lose due to lack of experience.

Second, previously his card pool was lacking in quantity.

The monsters in the Southern Forest were numerous but relatively weak, unsuitable for top-tier play.

The last time he received the 5-chain reward at the market was mainly due to two sets of unexpected tactics and various coincidences.

If possible, Li Pu wanted his initial rank to be determined as high as possible.

Because in doing so, the initial rank reward for card players would also be higher.

However, things were a bit different now; the batch of aphids and series of cards collected from two instances were stronger than many Southern Forest cards.

Since he had time now, he could organize a deck.

And the daily once-a-day card fusion opportunity hadn't been used yet.

With a flip of his wrist, Li Pu took out cards he had recently acquired.

[Bo-Bo-Bo!]

A projection of an earthy yellow slime jumped out from the card surface.

Although the appearance of this monster was kind of cute, it was the strongest opponent Li Pu had encountered to date.

He and the scarecrow fought hard against it, and in the end, he injured his hand.

This card was indeed much stronger than the Southern Forest cards.

"Amazing, this card."

He hadn't had a chance to look before; now having browse the information, Li Pu couldn't help but sigh.

This Slime Matryoshka-like card's effect was similar to the boss in the instance.

It possesses two lives and has two modes of attack.

Respectively, they correspond to the big slime and small slime.

If this card could find the right fusion partner, its quality might still be able to reach another step.

After looking at this card, Li Pu casually drew out the next one.

[Klang-Klang!]

This time the projection was a green sickle-mouth aphid.

The standard of [Sickle Aphid] was fairly average, without particular features.

The only perk is that after participating in killing plant-type cards, it can restore some life points.

"Pretty mediocre card, just that,"

Li Pu held his chin and commented.

Mainly because this card's score was a bit low, and its offense and defense stats weren't appealing.

Even with a relative advantage against grass-type, it was still ineffective against strong grass cards.

Lately, he had acquired many new card types, so he continued browsing one by one.

A preview to see if there was a suitable fusion card.

Buzz!

About two hours later, a sudden intense light startled Li Pu.

It seemed the scarecrow's rebirth was reaching a conclusion.

He put away the cards and mechanical gloves and stood up.

Now the entire glass tank was covered by light.

And the scarecrow seemed still in a doze, completely unaware of this situation.

Li Pu had seen a similar intense light on Bai Youyou before.

Indicating the rebirth process was entering the final phase.

But at that time Bai Youyou's light seemed not as intense.

"Could the scarecrow's rank after rebirth exceed hers?"

Li Pu suddenly had a bold speculation.

To know that D-grade Bai Youyou had evolved into D+-grade Legyou.

Now the scarecrow's bright situation exceeded Bai Youyou's rebirth; perhaps it would transform into C-grade?
