After communicating, the little tree spirit got the result.

"Brother Lame, Boss Tiger said it's not possible."

"Its leaves are very precious."

The line it wrote down made Li Pu's heart sink.

If that Climbing Wall Vine doesn't give it, he really can't forcefully take it.

After all, its strength is evident, and he might get tied up in a strange shape as soon as he has the thought.

This is truly a pity.

He envisioned that if the A+ level skill [Jade Iron Vine] merged with [Entangle], the straw man's skill would definitely become more powerful.

Of course, the fusion cost of 20,000 is quite high, but it's not impossible to find a way.

But now that the Climbing Wall Vine doesn't allow it, he can only dismiss the idea.

"Unless you can fulfill two conditions for it."

The little tree spirit wrote this next.

"..."

Li Pu suddenly felt an urge to send it a razor blade.

Can't you write faster? Why so slow?

"Being able to work for the senior is my honor, translation."

Nevertheless, he still looked at the little tree spirit.

As a novice Summoner, it's not excessive to call someone senior, right?

This is not about getting close undeservedly.

[Roar!]

Actually, the Climbing Wall Vine understood human language, and at this moment, it nodded its big head in satisfaction.

[Scribble!]

Meanwhile, the little tree spirit began writing quickly, scribbling on the magnetic whiteboard.

"It's a long story, oh no, a long write."

Its first line made Li Pu want to complain.

If you didn't write so much nonsense, it wouldn't be long.

"I've recently been troubled by something,"

the little tree spirit continued to write.

This kind of line made Li Pu feel inexplicably familiar.

So it's this kind of cliché.

Basically, helping an NPC complete a task and then getting a reward.

That could've been said earlier; he had gone through this many times when playing RPG games as a kid.

Yet, the situation was a bit unexpected as what the little tree spirit wrote next left Li Pu in silence.

"The Aphid Race under my command has recently been significantly reducing in number."

That's what it wrote.

Li Pu: "..."

Li Pu: "..."

Li Pu: "..."

Li Fan once said that some powerful plant-type magical beasts use bodily care and control aphids,

allowing them to eat withered or diseased leaves off themselves to maintain health and cleanliness.

And to clear nearby vegetation so they can monopolize the nutrients from the earth.

Now, with the Climbing Wall Vine's words, everything becomes clear.

Those massive aphids were indeed the little brothers of the Climbing Wall Vine.

But now, Li Pu's situation was very awkward.

Because not long ago, the culprit responsible for the massive extermination of aphids seemed to be Li Pu himself!

This is like in an RPG game where the hero originally accepts a mission to defeat an evil dragon in the village.

But now, it turns out the evil dragon comes to the village to accept the task of defeating itself?

If another student faced this situation, they would probably show their true colors in panic.

But he was Li Pu, he wouldn't.

"Aphids are so cute, and yet someone hunts them?"

"Rest assured, senior, I must punish the culprit severely."

That's what he said.

The scapegoat, oh no, the scapegoat grass, has been found.

Thinking about this matter carefully, he can really dodge responsibility.

Those aphids were mostly wiped out precisely by some grass!

Thinking this way, Li Pu completely convinced himself.

"On the other side of the Great Stone Wall, there's a group of annoying creatures."

What the little tree spirit wrote next seemed to turn the situation around.

"These creatures occasionally invade the Great Stone Wall to hunt aphids."

It turns out the real culprit was someone else; he almost sold grass for glory.

East of the Great Stone Wall would be the area of East Wilderness Ridge of the school.

He originally intended to transfer his main efforts there soon, but he didn't expect to accept a related task before even arriving?

Li Pu was considering this while the little tree spirit continued writing.

"This group of annoying creatures is the Cloud Wolves."

"Hunt them and leave proof, and for every 100 Cloud Wolves, exchange for 1 leaf."

Li Pu vaguely remembered the Cloud Wolves.

At that time, Senior Sister Xiong Paipai had demonstrated their card at the market.

He heard they are quite powerful creatures in the East Wilderness Ridge, and they enjoy living in groups.

Having to defeat 100 Cloud Wolves just to exchange for 1 leaf, and he needed at least 9 leaves.

This means he needed 900 Cloud Wolves to get enough.

"Is this some kind of extinction event?"

Li Pu doubted whether there were that many Cloud Wolves in the East Wilderness Ridge.

But after thinking it over, he found it quite reasonable.

He wiped out, oh no, the straw man wiped out so many aphids yet wasn't on the Climbing Wall Vine's blacklist.

That indicates those Cloud Wolves hunted even more aphids, truly despicable.

"Senior, this task is in capable hands."

With that thought, he magnanimously offered the task to the Climbing Wall Vine.

[Roar Roar!]

Apparently satisfied with Li Pu's attitude, the Climbing Wall Vine growled lowly, showing approval.

[Scribble Scribble!]

As for the little tree spirit, it was still writing.

It had mentioned earlier that the Climbing Wall Vine had two conditions.

Now, the Cloud Wolves were just one of them.

"Boss Tiger also said its favorite thing to drink is wine."

This line surprised Li Pu a bit.

Seems like this Climbing Wall Vine, like the straw man, has some peculiar hobbies.

One likes cola, and the other likes wine.

"I have tasted almost all types of wine in the Federal realm."

"If you can bring out a variety I haven't tasted yet,"

"I can give you an additional 5 leaves."

These lines are what the little tree spirit translated from the Climbing Wall Vine's words.

The term 'Federal' coming from a magical beast feels strangely out of place.

And moreover, the act of drinking wine, especially having tasted many kinds, would probably be hard to do without fully integrating into human society.

So Li Pu suddenly felt that this Climbing Wall Vine might have some deep stories.

But he realized what needed attention now wasn't the Climbing Wall Vine's backstory.

But that a single bottle of wine could exchange for 5 leaves!

Yet, given its strength, it shouldn't be lying.

Finding a wine variety it hasn't tasted might truly be a challenging task.

So...

"Senior, try this."

Li Pu pulled out a small bottle from his storage space.

Coincidentally, he happened to have it with him.

[Roar Roar?]

The Climbing Wall Vine didn't seem to expect this.

Scribble scribble scribble...

It tentatively reached out with some thin vines, took the bottle and unscrewed it.

Then it extended a vine from its mouth, dipped it into the bottle.

[Roar Roar Roar!!!]

In the next second, the Climbing Wall Vine became immediately excited.

Even though the taste was strange, it was indeed a wine variety it hadn't tasted before!

[Roar!]

This prompted it to look at Li Pu with an inquiring gaze.

"Kid, what kind of wine is this?"

The little tree spirit faithfully translated.

Li Pu: "Ancestral Bruise Remedy Wine."
