Chapter 694 - 492: [Treasure Nurturing]_2
Chapter 694 - 492: [Treasure Nurturing]_2
Basically, these sizes are all stackable and can be put into the group’s storage space.
"Huh?"
However, when he picked up a fragment first, he let out a slight sound of wonder.
The relevant item information that had been absent before now appeared in his mind.
Upon looking down at the fragment in his hand, he realized the shell is divided into several layers from the cross-section.
The thick inner and outer surfaces resemble a sandwich, sandwiching a slightly pink, powdery texture inside.
And the relevant item of the Barbaric Elephant Pull is precisely this middle-layer substance; no wonder he couldn’t touch it before.
[LV1- Treasure Nurturing (A)] 17/100
Active Effect: Nurtures an inscribed device, gradually elevating it up to 1.5 ranks, this process absorbs upgrade energy
Attribute Requirement: None
Type Requirement: Resolute System
Race Requirement: Shell-type
"There’s actually such a skill!"
Li Pu was delighted after reading it.
Didn’t expect a skill that could upgrade an inscribed device, that’s wonderful.
Now he finally understood why the B-grade Barbaric Elephant Pull could explode an A+ grade [Calming Pill].
Turns out that pearl was always being nurtured by it.
It seems this skill, once activated, causes part of the energy needed for the summoner’s own upgrade to be absorbed by the inscribed device.
This point Li Pu was not worried about; his summoner upgrades easily, and he could just sacrifice more related items if needed.
The rank elevation of the inscribed device isn’t infinite, but a maximum of 1.5 ranks.
This is easily understood; for example, an E-grade inscribed device has poor material and can’t be forcibly elevated to B-grade or A-grade, or it might not withstand the force and be destroyed during the process.
After all, like Gan Wenlun used to upgrade an inscription for him, new materials are needed.
Upon seeing this skill, Li Pu immediately thought of [Stone of Human Demon] and [Golden Shield].
Currently, these two inscribed devices, one A-grade and one B+ grade, have a lot of room to grow.
Don’t know if [Treasure Nurturing] has the ability to elevate an inscribed device to S grade.
Also, is the nurturing speed quick or not?
If everything goes smoothly, then he wouldn’t need to find any S-grade power inscriptions, just find a B+ grade for nurturing instead.
But the core issue now is, which summoner should the relevant item be sacrificed to...
The scarecrow is ruled out first; it has no skill slots at all.
Then Bubu and Little Ugly Wolf are also ruled out; their skill slots are either already full or close to full, only further reincarnation can provide additional skill slots.
So, what’s left are No.2 and Fufu.
Li Pu was more inclined towards No.2, as he positioned it as a self-exploding auxiliary.
[Treasure Nurturing] is quite a high-ranking skill, and though auxiliary skills don’t reflect combat strength, they often enhance other attributes.
No.2 just needs to increase attribute values as much as possible to boost its explosive power; it’s pretty great.
Whoosh!
Right then, light flashes beside him, and No.2 appeared.
"Huh?"
"Has it... been revived?"
"Instant revival? A special innate ability?"
This situation made several seniors slightly wonder.
"What’s going on, was it attacked by a barbaric beast?"
"Could it have been a flying barbaric beast?"
Listening to everyone’s questions, Li Pu couldn’t specifically explain.
Who attacked whom, that’s really uncertain.
Since No.2 was back, it was just right.
Finding some large shell fragments, he directly let it complete the acquired task.
"Perfect."
Looking at his masterpiece, Li Pu nodded satisfied.
Probably no one could imagine, this mechanical big iron head could actually have a nurturing function for inscribed devices.
"Let’s try it now, open your mouth."
Thinking for a moment, he pulled out [Stone of Human Demon].
Through telepathy, he issued commands to No.2.
[Ahhhhhhhhh!]
No.2 opened its mouth, while its head split in the middle.
"Holy crap! What’s happening?!"
"Looks pretty terrifying!"
"Why did the machine suddenly split?!"
The inexplicable unfolding made several people panic.
This scene was quite bizarre.
"Oh, it’s not to be put inside through the mouth, huh."
Through telepathy, Li Pu realized he had been mistaken.
So he directly placed the brick of [Stone of Human Demon] into No.2’s head.
[So comfortable]
Bang!
No.2 closed back up, feeling like there was a foreign object in its brain.
Then, according to its information, they finally had a clear direction.
After taking several wrong turns and resolving several barbaric beasts, they finally reached the so-called "safe place" mentioned by No.2, which is the nearest Barbaric Beast Tribe.
In a way, No.2 wasn’t exactly lying.
Because after its mushroom cloud bombardment, there were no signs of active barbaric beast gatherings, only ruins and a few lingering creatures remained.
"Has this place been attacked by other tribes?"
"Never mind all that, quickly search for any flag."
The senior students quickly started the search.
Whereas Li Pu was more interested in the remains of those magical beasts on the scene.
Unlike the other barbaric beasts they encountered before, these communal magical beasts seemed much weaker.
Their bodies resembled monkeys but had fish-like heads with no necks.
Their backs, like other barbaric beasts, had stegosaurus spines.
Scattered around were shattered stones, probably materials they used to build simple shelters.
Upon touching, Li Pu soon discovered those back spines were relevant items.
[LV1- Blade Body (B)] 3/100
Passive Effect: Can turn parts of the body into blades
Attribute Requirement: None
Type Requirement: Rapture System
Race Requirement: Barbaric Beast Type
"Looks like good stuff."
Li Pu felt this trip to [Wild Beast Swamp] was truly worthwhile.
These barbaric beasts were strong individuals, even the relatively weaker communal ones here should still stand out in a separate second-year dungeon.
The key is that they mostly rely on their own physical prowess for combat, so most related item skills are likely linked to this aspect.
The current [Blade Body] seemingly fits Fufu perfectly.
Currently, it lacks attack means the most.
Moreover, Li Pu plans to develop it into a true martial arts master, solely fighting with its body.
Thinking it over, he decided to go against the norm and give the [Blade Body] rapture system skill to Fufu.
Metal blades certainly have greater lethality.
Thus quickly and discreetly, he consumed the relevant items.
[Silent!]
Fufu, who acquired new strength again, showed a joyful expression.
What magical method is this the master using, letting me instantly grasp new martial arts!
Under the influence of [Blade Body], its small wing edges now appeared blade-like.
Or, more accurately, the feathers on them had blade-fied, razor-sharp.
Unfortunately, when Li Pu tried pulling out a blade-fied feather, it reverted once removed from Fufu’s body.
Overall, Li Pu felt very satisfied with this trip.
White Fufu and Black Fufu each gained a skill, and No.2 also acquired one.
Added to that were a bunch of relevant items and materials, stuffing his harvest full.
Soon, All Tree and the others found the tribe’s flag.
Thus the dungeon task concludes, enabling them to return.
At semester’s end, based on completed tasks’ count and difficulty, they’ll get a comprehensive evaluation wave of points.
Exiting the dungeon, after bidding farewell to the group, Li Pu hurried to the trading station.
Knowing about the retained student’s existence, he felt immense pressure.
While still having money, he needed to complete the reincarnation of Bubu, Little Ugly Wolf, and No.2 today.
Oh wait, seems he needed to go to the Political and Education Office to bail someone out first.
"Let me see which review suits this occasion."
"Regarding low flying, overload, overspeed..."
Luckily Li Pu had long prepared, flipping out a big stack of papers fully written.
Before the previous semester concluded, he had Chang Shoushang’s brother, Chang Jiantao, write numerous reviews for him, just in case of various situations requiring an apology.
