The grassman in the water gave a mighty kick, causing the entire grass body to flip up furiously.
This time, unlike the last, it didn't fall over. Instead, it spun 720 degrees in the air, flipped three and a half times backward, and then steadily plummeted back into the water barrel.
Thump!
"Quit showing off, climb out honestly."
Li Pu shook his head.
[Caocao!]
The dripping wet grassman awkwardly climbed out of the glass tank.
This time, after being resurrected using the golden wood, which was different from the last time, its whole body was glowing with golden light.
The high-end, classy color on the grassman made it look like... a scarecrow.
However, after the solution quickly evaporated, its color returned to its original state.
"Let me see what's changed."
Li Pu scrutinized it for a while before finally opening the panel.
Grassman: 0(2) Revolution LV1, Listener of the Wind
Strength: 201, F
Attributes: 10 Wood
Abilities: [Gratitude] [Water Film↑] [Forgetfulness]
Skills: [LV1 Snail Grass (C)] [LV2 Wrap (D+)] [LV2 Willpower (D)] [LV1 Small Fireball (C)]
Famous Equipment: [Enlightened Root (B+)] [Iron Bones (A)]
"Whoa, impressive stuff."
Having browsed through, Li Pu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Firstly, this strength is not losing compared to the grassman before resurrection, the numerical difference within 5.
Which means post-resurrection, the grassman's level is reset, and its strength has essentially suffered no loss.
As a reference, it has gone through LV1 three times now.
The strengths were: 6, 57, 201.
The last resurrection cost it 70 points in strength, whereas this time only 4 points.
The comparison shows the huge disparity.
This phenomenon owes itself to the resurrection material used this time, the golden wood.
In cases where Li Pu found the general plant-type information scheme using golden trees, they clearly point out the efficacy of golden trees.
It allows summoned creatures to retain a large amount of strength during resurrection.
So he was mentally prepared for this situation.
But indeed, he didn't expect the strength to be preserved so well.
"Really cool."
Li Pu was quite satisfied with this result.
Besides, the grassman had another improvement.
That is the inherent ability [Water Film].
[Water Film]: Significantly reduces influence from C+→B-grade and lower fire attributes
"If it gains a small level with each resurrection, wouldn't a few more make it completely immune to fire?"
He held onto this hope.
However, theoretically, such resistance features become increasingly difficult to enhance as they rise, suggesting that even after several more resurrections, not being able to upgrade a small level is possible.
[Caocao!]
Grassman: Summoner, Ben Cao should go to work.
Now the grassman glanced at its watch, looking very much like a working person.
Here, "working" refers to its daily clocking in with Brother Talon Eagle.
Of course, "Brother" is the grassman's own term; Talon Eagle doesn't recognize it.
In Talon Eagle's eyes, it's just a massage grass.
But in the grassman's view, it is a boxing grass.
Daily using that big sandbag to practice Tai Chi.
"Go on, go on."
Li Pu waved his hand.
After being busy for several days, only the hyperactive grassman remained unaffected.
He himself planned to return to the dormitory to rest properly.
Thus, both decided to act separately for the time being.
[Nibble~]
Faced with a choice, Bub only hesitated for a second before attaching itself to the grassman.
Given the choice, it certainly stuck with the sweet end.
So, with Bub hanging on, the grassman headed towards the east gate.
With Bub's limitless refill-style [Sprint], the grassman and Bub quickly reached the east gate.
[Screech screech screech!]
Having noticed them from afar, the Talon Eagle let out a series of urging calls.
After some time getting along, the relationship between the two sides had warmed up considerably.
Though the grassman scratched slowly, the strength was ample, leaving Talon Eagle quite satisfied.
Yet upon arriving at the gatekeeper post, its first priority wasn't finding the Talon Eagle.
Because the gatekeeper granny dressed in Tai Chi training gear had been standing by waiting for quite a while.
In fact, during this time, aside from serving (?) the Talon Eagle, the grassman had an additional side task.
That is, accompanying Granny to practice Tai Chi.
At this moment, it stomped its foot, stood straight, and cupped its grass hands into fists before Granny.
[Master Grass!]
It might not truly understand the meaning of these two words, but Granny taught it to say this, so it did.
[Master Eat~]
While holding onto the grassman, Bub also followed suit in a muffled manner.
"Hohohohoho, finally here."
Granny clearly relished this routine.
Honestly, she really liked this grassman who had recently been keeping her company practicing Tai Chi.
Though it looked silly, it seemed to have a knack for Tai Chi.
When the fists started, with its languid, sluggish, carefree appearance, one couldn't help but feel the urge to appreciate its talent.
Moreover, although the language was not fluent, she could tell the grassman was very polite.
Such a grassman, how could Granny not admire?
And the adorable little kangaroo sticking to it daily also won her affection, getting fed carrots all day.
[Caocao!]
Grassman: Old lady, let's begin quickly now!
The grassman on that side immediately took stance.
Luckily, language was not fluently exchanged.
Before pounding on Talon Eagle, it always accompanied Granny for an hour of Tai Chi.
Initially, it wasn't voluntary.
But gradually, the grassman noticed the other party's technique felt a bit unusual.
Especially the move where both hands seemed to cradle an empty ball; it could apparently be adapted to its twisting fireball technique.
So, with this attraction, it continued.
"Hohohoho, don't rush."
Faced with the polite and eager-to-learn grassman, Granny gestured.
"Today, we'll practice in a different place."
"Guaranteed to significantly improve your Tai Chi skills."
Saying this, she led the grassman into the gatekeeper's room.
At this moment, inside there was a glowing portal to an alternate realm instance flickering.
...
Dragging his weary body, Li Pu returned to his dorm.
Earlier, had he not clenched his teeth, he would've nearly fallen asleep on the road.
As for why not go to the card room, it's because the dorm is much closer from the training field.
Moreover, he'd been spending many nights continuously in the cube card world, and once in a while he ought to completely unwind.
To have a proper, genuine sleep.
While sleeping in the cube chamber can fully rejuvenate physical fatigue, long-term nightly card-playing can still be mentally exhausting.
Having washed up, Li Pu climbed into bed.
Soon after, he fell into deep sleep.
Unaware of how long he slept until he was poked awake by a hand as dry as a tree trunk.
[Rustle rustle rustle!]
It turned out it wasn't tree trunk-like; it was literally a tree trunk.
