"Hmm..."

Li Pu sat up in bed and stretched lazily.

Glancing at the clock on the wall, it was already noon.

He hadn't expected to sleep for a full 16 hours; that was indeed a satisfying rest.

[Rustle rustle rustle!]

The little tree spirit extended its branches, bringing over a meal it had just fetched from the cafeteria.

As a competent roommate(?), it was already accustomed to doing tasks like fetching meals.

"Orange-fried egg, how nice."

Li Pu glanced at the lunch box and nodded.

The school cafeteria's phenomenal dishes always brought surprises.

His favorite fruit was the orange, and his favorite dish was fried eggs, a perfect combination.

After quickly washing up, Li Pu started eating with the lunch box in hand.

[Rustle rustle rustle!]

Meanwhile, the little tree spirit sat down in front of him with a bowl of fertile soil.

As it ate, it wrote words on a small whiteboard with a 'swish swish swish'.

"Lame Bro, do you have enough leaves?"

The little tree spirit showed concern for Li Pu's task progress.

"Just completed it yesterday."

Li Pu went to exchange leaves with Climbing Wall Vine yesterday, and the little tree spirit happened to be present as well.

However, it chose to stay behind to chat with Climbing Wall Vine and didn't come back together.

"Then it's all good."

The little tree spirit's command of writing was improving, even knowing how to write words like 'OK'.

"Boss Tiger asked Chacha to convey a message to you."

It continued to write.

"Oh?"

Seeing these words, Li Pu raised an eyebrow.

Could it be that Climbing Wall Vine had another mission to offer?

"After you handed in the wolf tail yesterday."

"Boss Tiger decided to wipe the place out in one go."

What the little tree spirit wrote next was quite shocking.

"Huh?"

Li Pu hadn't expected Climbing Wall Vine to play such a large-scale game.

Nor had he expected Climbing Wall Vine's dislike for Cloud Wolves to reach such a peak.

"This... might not be appropriate."

However, he held a skeptical attitude towards it.

As one of the largest wolf group gatherings in the East Wilderness Ridge, the number of Cloud Wolves inside Wolf Corridor likely exceeded 1000.

Climbing Wall Vine was a profound A+ level magical beast, not that he doubted its ability.

It's just that suddenly reducing so many Cloud Wolves might have a huge impact on the ecological balance of the East Wilderness Ridge.

If the school authorities knew, Li Pu felt that they wouldn't allow Climbing Wall Vine to do this.

"No worries, after you left yesterday, the principal visited."

"He negotiated with Boss Tiger, and Chacha was translating."

Once again, the little tree spirit started writing swiftly.

Li Pu finally understood the whole story.

As expected, Principal Tea was aware of Climbing Wall Vine's existence.

Originally, Principal Tea went there to seek an explanation from Climbing Wall Vine.

Because the little tree spirit had eaten quite a lot of tea leaves last time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Climbing Wall Vine proposed cleaning up Wolf Corridor.

Why Principal Tea agreed was not fully explained in the little tree spirit's writings.

They mentioned terms like "guardian beasts" as if Principal Tea had a request from it.

Eventually, both sides reached an agreement, with Climbing Wall Vine dispatching an army of aphids to clear out Wolf Corridor.

Afterwards, to maintain the ecology of East Wilderness Ridge, the aphids would take over the ecological roles of those Cloud Wolves.

After all, they were omnivorous and not necessarily needing plants to survive.

"When does Climbing Wall Vine plan to take action?"

After hearing all this, Li Pu felt tempted.

He could already envision a large-scale magical beast war.

Aphids had been hunted by Cloud Wolves before because the despicable Cloud Wolves, along with him, or rather with the grass people, exploited their inability to leave their territory.

Now the army of aphids dispatched by Climbing Wall Vine naturally wouldn't be bound by this restriction.

Though in a one-on-one fight, aphids definitely couldn't beat Cloud Wolves.

However, under Climbing Wall Vine's years of nurturing, their numbers surpassed the Cloud Wolves.

Three to attack one, or if that doesn't work, then four to attack one; they'd surely clear Wolf Corridor.

For Li Pu, there was no doubt that both sides of the battle would suffer heavy casualties.

In this way, he could continue working on his aphid-related collection career, completely justified and without worrying about irking Climbing Wall Vine.

Added to that, the parts from the numerous Cloud Wolves would be quite a fortune.

A complete Cloud Wolf carcass could sell for 80-100 Crystal Coins.

If broken down into parts, the tail might be worth 20-30.

Teeth and nails combined might be worth another 20-30.

Considering storage space issues, if only collecting teeth and nails...

Then 1,000 Cloud Wolves would be 20,000-30,000!

It's just a shame that wolf tails take up too much space, and once this is over, Climbing Wall Vine probably wouldn't allow tail-leaf exchanges, otherwise, he could earn even more.

However, 20,000 to 30,000 is still pretty good for Li Pu.

"The action is tonight."

The little tree spirit wrote down the time for Climbing Wall Vine's full-scale attack.

With 6-7 hours left until nightfall, there's plenty of time.

Knock knock knock!

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Before Li Pu could get up, Chang Shoushang pushed the door open and walked in.

"You're here, just right; there's a notice."

Chang Shoushang pointed at the door and pasted a paper on it.

"Got to run, let's chat later."

As the dorm leader, he seemed quite busy today, and he went to knock on another dorm room right away.

Li Pu took the paper and upon reading it, his eyebrows raised in delight.

"Great, this way there won't be any potential competitors."

Turns out the notification on the paper was related to the wolf-insect battle tonight.

The notice didn't explain the specific reasons, only saying that it detected a magical beast disturbance in East Wilderness Ridge from that moment onward, prohibiting anyone from entering East Wilderness Ridge.

Li Pu didn't see an issue with this.

Because he knew Grassman was quite familiar with the East Gate Old Lady, maybe he'd be allowed through.

If not, he'd set out from the south forest, climb over Big Rock Wall and head to East Wilderness Ridge.

In any case, no matter what, he absolutely couldn't miss this massive scavenging opportunity.

The last major enhancement of the Southwest Star Cup might very well hinge on this event.

"But come to think of it, why haven't those two come back yet?"

Thinking of this, Li Pu realized that Grassman and Bubub had been separated from him for 16 hours.

Where had they gone off to fool around?

As people say, mention Caocao, and Caocao appears.

Just as he finished speaking, a figure of a grassman appeared in the dorm hallway.

[Grass grass grass!]

Wearing Bubub, it seemed quite excited, and upon seeing Li Pu standing at the door, it quickly ran over.

"Hmm?"

Li Pu immediately noticed that the grassman looked quite disheveled.

As if it had just gone through a long-lasting tussle.

Bubub's fur was in a similar state.

[Grass!!]

Grassman: Summoner, Ben Cao has changed!
