When Li Pu left the big stone wall, he was still a bit dazed.
This event went surprisingly smoothly.
He carried some medicinal wine from home, just out of habit.
After all, he used to get injured frequently; sometimes he'd get bruised here, or there would be a lump from getting hit.
As a result, that Climbing Wall Vine was too easily fooled, arrogantly claiming to have drunk all kinds of wine across the federation.
What nonsense.
So with the four leaves given by the Climbing Wall Vine, plus the one from before, he held a total of five jade leaves and headed back to meet up with the scarecrow and the radish.
The scarecrow, while appearing cunning, works diligently, possibly due to too much soda without an outlet for energy.
In short, when Li Pu arrived, he was somewhat shocked by the ground full of pits and holes.
With the assistance of the two summoned creatures, they dug up about fifteen plants of various materials.
Unfortunately, the subsequent materials did not have a unit price exceeding that of demon potatoes and winter fruit summer eggs.
After a tally, the total value was around 300 Crystal Coins.
In truth, such results made Li Pu quite satisfied.
Knowing that this entire trip didn't take much time, the outcome was almost comparable to a full day of hunting.
In passing, Li Pu also had the scarecrow use his watch to scan the Climbing Wall Vine leaves.
[Guardian Beast Leaf, A+-grade cultivation material]
[Trading post price, 4000 Crystal Coins/piece]
The fact that there's a related price at the trading post indicates it was sold there before.
However, what is a Guardian Beast, Li Pu wasn't sure.
But the price was astonishingly delightful.
Indeed, materials from an A+-grade magical beast are valuable.
The five leaves in his possession were actually worth 20,000 Crystal Coins.
To think, the little treant had mentioned that these leaves were the least valued part of the Climbing Wall Vine's body.
This implies that the leaves were its least valued parts.
For a moment, Li Pu thought about how much it would be worth if he sold the entire beast.
But it was just a passing thought, given that the other party was somewhat related, being the boss of the little treant, making it inconvenient to take action.
Of course, more importantly, the other party could probably blow him away with a single breath.
He had no intention of selling those five leaves at the trading station right away.
He planned to first collect 10 leaves to gather related items for the scarecrow, and then sell the excess.
If the number of Cloud Wolves over at East Wilderness Ridge turned out to be enough, he might earn quite a few Crystal Coins by completing the senior Climbing Wall Vine's tasks over time.
After taking stock of the trip's gains, Li Pu planned to lead the team back.
After all, he participated in the monthly exam in the morning, and now it was about time for a break, as he still had to attend a "Sprint" class tomorrow.
Truthfully, attending the "Sprint" class now didn't hold much significance for him, as it was mostly about practicing under Senior Sister Jiang's supervision, which he could do on his own.
But tomorrow's class was different; he wanted to witness Wu Guinan being punished by Li Fan for not ranking in the top two in the monthly exam.
As for the custody of the scarecrow and radish, there was no hurry.
Since the radish was just summoned today, it needed time to adapt to this new world.
So, after an hour-long journey, by the time they returned to the dormitory, it was already evening.
Like the scarecrow, the radish didn't like entering storage space and seemed fond of sticking to the scarecrow, showing some form of attachment.
Judging by the looks of it, they intended to sleep by gnawing on the scarecrow's head.
After finishing his wash, Li Pu prepared to go to bed to rest.
"Sigh..."
Meanwhile, Wu Guinan sat there sighing constantly.
Obviously, he had started to worry about the punishment he would face tomorrow.
As for Li Pu, while finding some schadenfreude, he was still considering other things in his mind.
The most efficient way to make money right now seemed to be through cultivation and training.
However, related commissions weren't available every day; it all depended on opportunities.
Additionally, there was the matter of going to East Wilderness Ridge.
Last time, Senior Sister Jiang mentioned inviting him there after the monthly exams were over.
Such matters were likely to happen within a few days, so there was no rush to go to East Wilderness Ridge in search of Cloud Wolves.
Being unfamiliar with the environment on his first visit, it was better to have someone guide him.
So besides watching Wu Guinan get punished tomorrow, there was also the matter of going to the card room.
This had already been decided previously, to participate in the ranking matches after finishing the monthly exam to determine his card rank.
Completing the ranking not only comes with initial rewards but also a monthly subsidy, so the sooner the better.
As he was just thinking about the Cubic Cards, a message suddenly popped up in his mind.
[The Advent of the Gods is Coming Soon]
"What is this? Did you receive it?"
At the same time, Wu Guinan, over there, asked, apparently also receiving it.
Li Pu nodded dumbfoundedly, without speaking.
He remembered that Li Fan had once mentioned that every long period of time, a mysterious giant world would have a small link with Blue Star.
When that time comes, the so-called "gods" from there would make a brief descent through the link.
Could the Advent mentioned in the message refer to this?
But he also remembered that Li Fan said those "gods" weren't serious figures either.
Their descent to Blue Star was merely to play card games.
Seemingly in response to Li Pu's thoughts, a second message popped up.
[To accommodate the divine version, Cubic Cards will undergo slight modifications]
"Modifications?"
Upon hearing this, Li Pu was again stunned.
Indeed, Li Fan had introduced before that Cubic Cards had undergone two updates previously.
Each version update maintained its core while implementing significant changes.
But the last update was over 100 years ago.
This kind of thing that hadn't happened for a century, it happened to occur when they were present?
[First update: Cancel Cubic Card-related Summoner talents]
As soon as this message appeared, Li Pu saw a skill glow ball slowly emerging above Wu Guinan's head.
"What's going on here..."
He looked up and found that the same was happening above his own head.
As the glow ball separated from his body, it began to become ethereal, as if it would vanish the next moment.
For reasons unknown, Li Pu suddenly reached out quickly to grab the light ball.
[LV?-Card Crafting (?)]
Active effect: Can merge any two original cards
Attribute requirement: None
Type requirement: None
Race requirement: None
In just an instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Without a bit of hesitation, he directly acquired this skill.
Looking up at Wu Guinan's head again, that light ball also seemed on the brink of shattering.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Li Pu pocketed Wu Guinan's light ball too.
With just a quick glance, he found there were no special acquisition requirements either.
So he crushed the light ball, learning this skill too.
"What?"
Meanwhile, Wu Guinan was still dazed on the chair, blinking in confusion.
Li Pu didn't know how to explain, especially since he wasn't too clear either, so they just stared at each other.
Subsequential messages updated several times, and Li Pu roughly understood them.
This so-called update largely simplified the Cubic Cards.
However, for him, digesting it would still take some time.
Bang!
Just at this moment, their dormitory door was suddenly flung open.
