Chapter 482 389: A Big Haul, Wave 2
Chapter 482 389: A Big Haul, Wave 2
The second grandfather's room was quickly found by him relying on his memory.
But this time, Li Pu discovered that he actually had permission to enter.
However, after walking in, he didn't find the items he expected.
There was only a safe box made of the same special metal.
As soon as he walked to the box, he unexpectedly triggered a voice message left by his grandfather.
[Congratulations, little Pupu]
[If you're hearing this message, it means Grandpa won't be back for New Year this year]
[There is a gift here to congratulate you on finally becoming a Summoner]
[Just loudly shout 'Long live Grandpa' three times, and the safe box will...]
Bang!
Before hearing the complete message, Li Pu had already kicked and broke the lock of the safe box door.
"For such an old person, still so childish..."
"It's a pity that I'm no longer the person I used to be."
He bent down and looked inside the safe box.
Inside was very empty, with only a pile of Crystal Coins silently placed there.
As everyone knows, the brighter and more dazzling the Crystal Coin, the more it contains internally.
It could be said that Li Pu has never seen Crystal Coins as alluring as these.
But faced with this situation, he seemed a little hesitant.
Because this appeared to be too straightforward and easy, completely inconsistent with Grandpa's style.
"Forget it, whatever."
In the end, he was still overcome by temptation and reached out his hand.
However, it was a hand activated with dual forces [Hardening].
And then...
Whoosh!
As fast as lightning, his hand reached in and grabbed the Crystal Coins back.
The amount within those Crystal Coins naturally fed back into his mind.
Dizziness.
The number made Li Pu feel a slight dizziness.
Unexpectedly, this pile of things actually contained 1,000,000!
"Grandpa, long live?"
Although he didn't repeat it three times, this sentence was indeed sincere.
After the 700,000 he earned from working on the farm was spent down to only 100,000, he now felt alive again.
When he first obtained the item, he was worried about where to find money.
After all, whether it was acquired or merged A-level items, they were all expensive.
Now, it's perfect, the problem is solved.
But after earning money himself, Li Pu only realized the preciousness of it.
This 1,000,000 Crystal Coins wasn't a trivial amount to him.
"It's rare for the old man to be so generous, am I being too much?"
He suddenly felt a bit guilty about his previous looting behavior.
But this emotion couldn't last more than three seconds.
Buzz buzz buzz... Boom!!!
Because the safe box in front of him abruptly trembled violently and then exploded.
The powerful impact directly blasted Li Pu against the wall, leaving a shallow human-shaped dent on it.
Only because he reacted quickly enough and activated [Hardening] on the front.
Otherwise, this blow might have cost him half his life.
At this moment, Grandpa's voice rang out again.
[Hahaha!]
[Not coming home for New Year this year, sending you a firecracker!]
[Little brat!]
"As expected of you..."
Li Pu stood up from the ground and spat out a mouthful of blue glowing blood.
With this, he no longer felt any psychological burden.
That's quite fine.
The old geezer.
Thus, Li Pu continued to scavenge through his grandfather's various rooms.
Upon reaching the third place, he discovered his grandfather's research material library.
Each piece of material inside was well-preserved through special methods and devices.
They were labeled with their origin and general uses, along with ingredient lists he couldn't understand.
Though it seemed like his grandfather wasn't doing research anymore, he didn't touch anything there.
Firstly, guessing they might be quite valuable, and secondly fearing that touching them could result in his grandfather hunting him down throughout the territory.
In the subsequent rooms, he only took things that obviously hadn't been maintained or specially stored.
After all, after so many years together, the grandpa-grandson duo knew each other's living habits quite well.
Which things were especially important to Grandpa, just from the arrangement, he could tell at a glance.
The final haul was not a lot; even when all the related items from the remaining rooms were added up, they couldn't surpass the souvenir from the first room.
But Li Pu was satisfied because at least he obtained enough related items, totaling 8, and all were A-level.
The rest were either not enough to constitute a full set of related items, or due to age, they had completely lost their imbued vitality.
But even if they weren't related items, they were still very high-quality materials.
Out of these 8 related items, only half appealed to Li Pu.
First, he took out two unusable ones to sacrifice to the Straw Man.
It's said that A-level related items are indeed different. Although the cost is high, they provided a massive amount of energy, allowing the Straw Man to level up all at once.
Then he used one for Bobo, bringing it from LV45→49.
There was no overflow, which meant that the energy from this related item was completely absorbed without waste.
Later, he would find some F-level related items to slowly bring it to max level.
From this, it was clear how difficult it was to level up at higher stages.
The related items that allowed the Straw Man to max out took only one to raise Bobo by 4 levels.
The last worthless related item was saved for the Ugly Little Wolf, raising it to LV21.
If the team had this strength earlier, they might have been able to repel the Golden Wind Dragon faster.
After finishing the sacrifices, it was time to deal with the useful related items.
The first one was the previously seen tiger skin with wings.
[Wings of Freedom]: Grants immunity to binding effects
After fusing it with the Straw Man's [Willpower], its grade was finally raised to A-level.
[Willpower]: Grants immunity to fear/illusion/toxin/slowness/binding/psychic attack effects, greatly increasing strength
"Come, try a bite."
After completing this fusion, Li Pu beckoned Bobo over.
If the Straw Man acquired it, it was as if he acquired it himself.
So he instructed Bobo to unleash [Big Mouth Bite] on him.
[Eating is good!]
For this, Bobo felt a bit excited.
It had long wanted to swallow the Summoner, but never succeeded.
Now the other party was proactively proposing this, a rare opportunity.
So it didn't bother with its pocket, directly showing its full form.
[Eat!]
The little kangaroo's large head suddenly inflated before Li Pu, and its dark mouth lunged forward.
Li Pu didn't know what the so-called "immunity" would entail, but he still chose to stand still.
[Eh?]
In the end, although Bobo's mouth had reached in front of him, it simply couldn't swallow.
It was as if there was a super strong repulsive force resisting its mouth from closing.
"You're not up to it, little kangaroo."
Li Pu, feeling playful, flicked its uvula that had also swelled to the size of a watermelon.
[Ouch!]
Bobo: Summoner, you're naughty!
The little kangaroo retracted its body with a face full of annoyance.
"Haha."
Li Pu just laughed twice, very satisfied with the new effect of [Willpower].
Besides [Wings of Freedom] being suitable for the Straw Man, there was indeed another related item for it.
It was a very strange cyan flame.
What made it strange was that it didn't feel hot to the touch, just warm.
Held in the hand, its texture felt more like a water pouch.
But the strangest thing about it was that Li Pu had seen it when he was very young.
In the same place, with the same color, even the same shape.
Which means that over all these years, this thing not only didn't extinguish but also showed no signs of wanting to extinguish.
No matter how peculiar it was, Li Pu felt the most important thing was its usefulness.
So he called the Straw Man over again, holding a Crystal Coin in one hand and pressing the green strange fire on its forehead with the other.
With a thought, he activated [Friend of Magical Beasts].
In just a moment, the green strange fire disappeared without a trace.
[Grass!]
Feeling the changes within, the Straw Man was somewhat joyful.
It seemed to have changed once more yet again.
