Since they had gathered enough bearweed, the team decided to head back.

In light of Jiang Guiju's encounter, they didn't linger any longer and avoided any further conflicts with magical beasts along the way.

This was exactly what Li Pu hoped to see.

Because he felt guilty and didn't want to be seen by the others, he didn't turn back even once the entire time.

From Scarecrow's account, he learned that it was a giant multicolored bird chasing them in that misty illusion earlier.

Perhaps due to some special reason, the bird didn't leave the mist's range, which was fortunate.

However, Li Pu felt that Scarecrow's description might have been exaggerated.

Judging by the feather in his hand, its size was at most as big as a chicken.

Nowhere near as large as the airplane Scarecrow described.

Besides, did it even know what an airplane was?

Anyway, this matter could be considered resolved just like that.

Thus, after spending some time returning to the school, this journey was thoroughly concluded.

The group bid farewell and went their separate ways, each busy with their own affairs.

Li Pu and Chang Shoushang headed the same way, as they stayed in the same dormitory building.

However, upon returning to the dormitory, Li Pu immediately closed the door behind him.

At this moment, the dormitory was empty, and Wu Guinan and Little Treeman were nowhere to be seen.

Buzz…

Li Pu opened the storage space and released Bubba.

[Eat eat!]

As soon as Bubba appeared, it raised its tiny fists at him with dissatisfaction.

However, its bulging and still-chewing cheeks indicated it likely had a good time inside.

"Good pal."

Li Pu checked his storage space.

He found that whatever Bubba could eat was now gone.

Luckily, this little guy wouldn't eat crystal coins directly.

"Now, it's time to look at the spoils."

After releasing Bubba, Li Pu also pulled out the multicolored feather.

While on East Wilderness Ridge, he didn't dare take it out again until now, back in the dormitory, he felt at ease.

This constantly color-changing feather was very light, practically weightless.

But more than that, Li Pu was concerned with the information it brought.

[LV1 - Energy Feedback (F)] 112/100

Passive Effect: Each time a skill is cast, recover a certain amount of Insight-type energy randomly.

Attribute Requirement: 5 Illusion 5 Wind

Type Requirement: Insight

Race Requirement: None

"Great item!"

Seeing the information, Li Pu's eyes lit up.

He had previously thought about helping Bubba acquire a skill to improve its sustainability.

Because Insight-type energy capacity was inherently the most substantial among the seven types.

Plus, in situations where other types don't trigger active energy recovery, Insight-type has the second-best automatic recovery ability, after the Balanced type.

Being inherently abundant and quick to recover, adding an endurance boost like [Energy Feedback] might actually turn Bubba into a magic machine gun.

The life energy contained within the feather was also plentiful, and just one feather was enough to make up a share of the related material.

"Hmm?"

But quickly, he noticed something seemed amiss.

Because the information feedback from the feather had mysteriously changed.

[LV1 - Energy Feedback (F)] 112/100

↓

[LV1 - Energy Feedback (E)] 112/100

Inexplicably, its grade suddenly rose by a large level.

A few seconds later, it shifted from E to C.

This time it was even more excessive, skipping D-level entirely to reach C.

A few more seconds later, it dropped from C back to F.

F→D→C→B→C→E→A→D

Watching for a while, he realized its grade constantly fluctuated.

At its highest, it even reached A+.

"So what does this mean? Is it an illusion of the feather, or is it really changing?"

Li Pu, puzzled, held the feather, feeling a bit indecisive.

The crucial part was, no matter how the grade changed, the price for acquiring it stayed the same.

Everything was at an F-level standard.

"So, does that mean anything above F-level is fake?"

This left him confused.

Eventually, after a few minutes, the grade stabilized at C-level and stopped changing.

Right after, Li Pu noticed that the acquisition price finally changed to conform to the C-level price.

"This..."

He couldn't quite figure out why the feather underwent such changes.

Continuing to hold it and observe, it wasn't long before the grade frequency modulation resumed.

Still oscillating between F~A+.

After a few minutes of fluctuation, it settled at B-level, and the price for acquiring it adjusted accordingly.

Frowning in thought, it seemed he grasped a bit of understanding.

[Guardian Beast Feather, F~A+ grade cultivation material]

[Trading station price, 6000 crystal coins per feather]

This was the trading station price that Scarecrow found earlier.

Previously puzzled as to why there was such a wide grade range without corresponding price fluctuations.

Now it seemed there was a reason.

"This time, I'm not exploiting a bug."

"The bug came to me."

Li Pu muttered to himself, bringing Bubba closer.

A plan had already formed in his mind.

Based on these observed fluctuations, the frequency modulation of the feather's grade lasts for a few minutes each time, with a few minutes' rest in between.

And between each frequency modulation, there would be a few seconds' gap.

So…

Holding the feather in one hand, he placed the other hand on Bubba's head.

[Eat eat?]

Bubba was first puzzled by this move, then showed a look of realization.

"No, I'm not eating, thank you."

Confronted with the carrot it reluctantly offered, Li Pu declined with a laugh.

It seemed this little fellow misunderstood, thinking he was craving its carrot.

Through telepathy, he signaled Bubba to stay calm.

Time slowly passed, and Li Pu patiently waited.

"Finally."

After more than twenty minutes, he finally achieved the first result he wanted.

The grade of the feather, after several shifts, stabilized at F-level along with the F-level price.

[Eat eat!]

Being pressed on the head for so long, Bubba had already grown restless.

"Just wait a little longer, it's almost time."

Li Pu calmed it once more while focusing all his attention on the feather.

A few minutes later, the feather started frequency modulation again.

He waited silently, and when it jumped to the A+ level, he immediately activated [Friend of Magical Beasts].

[Eat eat?]

Bubba, which passively acquired the skill, immediately noticed something different about itself, a new power emerged within its body!

At that moment, Li Pu also opened its panel, and a smile instantly spread across his face.

[LV1 Energy Feedback (A+)]: Each time a skill is cast, recover a certain amount of Insight-type energy randomly.

The panel doesn't lie, and an exceptional-grade A+ level skill was actually obtained through such a glitch.

Equivalent to saving tens of thousands of crystal coins for free!

"You little guy, starting off on a much higher note than Scarecrow."

He ruffled Bubba's head vigorously and laughed as he let go.

With just an LV1 possessing an A+ level skill, its potential is immense.

After resting tonight, he planned to take it to East Wilderness Ridge tomorrow to see how it performed in practice.
