Chapter 473 - 385: Scarecrow Purifier
Two weeks later, Li Pu saw the mud-covered Scarecrow and Bubu outside the supplementary exam building.
It was obvious that because of his focus on reviewing, he hadn’t been keeping them in check, so they’d gone completely wild.
In fact, they hadn’t seen each other even once in those two weeks, which shows just how crazy things had gotten.
It’s just that there’s no sign of Ugly Little Wolf, not sure if it’s busy marking its territory or if it’s been caught by the authorities again.
Since there were so few people taking the supplementary exam, scores were marked and announced on the spot.
Li Pu devoted himself to the review over these two weeks and finally achieved satisfactory results — he passed everything.
"What’s this, a dungeon crystal?"
When Bubu took out the old lady’s gift and handed it to him, he was puzzled.
It was indeed a dungeon crystal, but he couldn’t use it yet.
Because the information inside the crystal indicated that only Summoners with a 3rd transformation or higher summoned beasts could enter.
The dungeon crystals Li Pu encountered before always had an upper limit, this one had a lower limit, which was the first time he had seen such a thing.
For now, it was still a little premature for him.
The closest to a 3rd transformation was Bubu, and it was only at 2nd transformation LV2. That 1 level was something it somehow upgraded on its own.
But soon, Bubu would be closer to the 3rd transformation.
Now that the supplementary exam was over, he had time to handle the matters of his summoned beasts.
"Hooray! I passed everything!"
Wu Guinan cheered behind him, but Li Pu didn’t pay attention and took the Scarecrow and Bubu to the training ground.
After making the two summoned beasts have a good bath at the training ground, he spent some Crystal Coins to level up Bubu.
The magical beasts on the farm were commodities, so out of professional ethics as a worker, he refrained from touching them.
Therefore, after returning to school, he assigned a task to his summoned beasts.
And that task was to remember to collect related items while playing outside the school.
The review time plus the supplementary exam, all added up to nearly 20 days.
During these 20 days, they indeed collected quite a bit of related items.
But Li Pu encountered a new problem, which was that the higher the number of transformations, the higher the level cap.
For example, for Bubu, after surpassing LV40, the required related items and Crystal Coins increased significantly.
Using up all the related items and spending nearly 50,000 Crystal Coins, he barely managed to bring Bubu up to LV45.
The specific stats are as follows:
Bubu: 2nd transformation LV45, Witty
Strength: 554, B+
Attributes: 3 Fire, 3 Water, 4 Devour
Abilities: [Tossing Bag][Energy Explosion][Barrier Devour]
Skills: [LV2 Impressive Hit (C)][LV2 Energy Feedback (A+)][LV2 Sprint (C)][LV2 Dance of Confusion (A)][LV2 Ghost Step (A+)][LV2 Big Mouth Devour (B+)]
Implements: [Golden Armor (C)][Magma Heart (C)]
It seems that with more summoned beasts, earning money might become faster, but spending it would definitely be faster too.
Li Pu estimates that to level Bubu to max, just talking about Crystal Coins, at least another 50,000 would be needed.
Counting Ugly Little Wolf at 2nd transformation max level too, front and back, it’s about 200,000.
No wonder the later it gets, the harder it is to improve a Summoner’s strength; the difficulty of leveling up is just too great.
Even for someone who spends money like me, it’s like this, let alone others.
After completing the cleaning and sacrifice of related items, Li Pu went to the trading post again.
This time at the trading post, he had two tasks.
First, to buy skill-enhancing light beads for the Scarecrow.
Second, to buy materials needed for Ugly Little Wolf’s 2nd transformation.
Due to the supplementary exam, he stayed longer in school, so strictly speaking, it’s already the end of the term. There were very few people on campus, so the trading post wasn’t crowded, and he quickly got what he wanted.
Considering his wallet’s thickness, Li Pu only bought three skill light beads for the Scarecrow.
C-level LV1→LV2, and 2 C-level LV2→LV3, costing a total of 150,000.
After use, the Scarecrow’s stats were as follows:
Scarecrow: 0 (7) transformation LV30, Listening Wind
Strength: 904, F
Attributes: 10 Wood
Abilities: [Gratitude][Water Film][Oblivion][Dragon Drive][Weeds]
Skills: [LV2→LV3 Snail Grass (C)][LV2 Entangle (B)][LV2 Willpower (B)][LV1→LV3 Small Fireball (C)][LV1 Godzilla Power (S)]
Implements: [Five Elements Ring (S)][Iron Bone (A)]
Except for the S-level [Godzilla Power], all other skills were at least LV2.
As for Li Pu’s own skills, he wasn’t considering them for now.
Spending 700,000 is delightful, but when it comes time to use it, it’s gone in an instant.
He’s pondering whether this year, when going back to visit for the new year, he should sincerely pay respects to his grandpa to get more New Year’s money.
Now he only has 300,000 left, and buying materials needed for Ugly Little Wolf’s 2nd transformation cost another 200,000.
The remaining 100,000 Crystal Coins Li Pu decided to hold onto for now, to keep as a reserve.
Otherwise, having no money on hand just doesn’t feel secure.
This time, the device needed for the transformation was huge, so Li Pu spent some Federation Coins to have someone transport it to the designated training ground.
Then he sent Bubu out to find Ugly Little Wolf, while he took the Scarecrow ahead of them.
Because in Ugly Little Wolf’s 2nd transformation plan, the Scarecrow plays a crucial role.
The name of this plan is Elemental Dragon Transformation.
The specific effect is to allow elemental-type summoned beasts to gain the power of a dragon.
