Li Pu didn't believe this grass talk.

Going out to play for more than ten hours, what's going to be different?

Its appearance looks like it just found a place to crawl around.

However, at the grassman's suggestion, he still opened the panel.

"Huh?"

As a result, upon seeing this, Li Pu was truly stunned.

One part of the grassman's panel had changed.

[LV1→LV2 Snail Grass (C)]: Launches a powerful attack (↑), significantly slowing movement (↓), with a knockback effect (↑).

Its skill had actually upgraded!

As everyone knows, there are only two ways to upgrade the skills of a summoning beast.

One is to use a corresponding skill light orb to directly upgrade the skill.

The other is to upgrade it through nurturing methods.

Within nurturing, it's subdivided into two types.

One is to feed certain nurturing materials that complement the skill.

The other is to frequently use the skill in special situations or against special targets for practice effects.

Li Pu didn't know how the grassman managed to upgrade its skill.

Could it have picked up a skill orb on the way, and a C-level one at that?

That would be too far-fetched, even more so than him.

"So, how did you actually do it?"

Then he looked at the grassman.

[Cough, cough, grass]

Then, the previously excited grassman suddenly started to pretend.

Li Pu knew what this guy meant, opened a bottle of cola, and handed it over.

[Grass!]

The satisfied grassman accepted the cola and tilted its head up to gulp.

[Sweet~]

Some of the cola flowed through the grass gaps, into Bubbu's mouth.

"..., what kind of combination do you guys have here."

This made Li Pu couldn't help but comment.

[Caocao! Caocaocao!]

[Grass!]

[Caocaocao!]

The grassman, content after finishing the cola, began recounting the events.

It turns out it was taken into a strange space by the old lady at the East Gate.

The air there was very heavy and sticky, making the grassman very uncomfortable as it greatly hindered movement.

In that space, the old lady took it to practice Tai Chi almost continuously for more than ten days.

After coming out, it became like this.

"Wait, what do you mean more than ten days?"

Li Pu questioned after hearing this.

[Caocao!]

The grassman thought the summoner's reaction was strange, as it indeed spent over ten days inside, what's wrong with that?

[Grass!]

Grassman: Summoner, if you don't believe it, look at Ben Cao's (?) watch.

The grassman raised its hand, remembering how Li Pu often checked the time while outdoors.

Little Tree Man: [Grass!]

"Let me see."

Li Pu still didn't believe it, so he looked at the watch.

It truly showed that 16 days had passed.

16 hours outside, 16 days inside?

Is this some kind of time and spirit chamber?

He still couldn't comprehend.

But this was the old woman's opportunity for the grassman, a good thing, so there's no need to delve into it overly.

Besides visiting to express gratitude, he needs to find a suitable opportunity to repay the favor, or else he'd feel uneasy.

"I wonder if the old lady likes things like lizard tails."

Thinking, he rubbed his chin.

[Grass!]

Grassman: You're treating the old lady like an Earth Listening Beast.

The grassman couldn't help but comment.

[Eat eat eat!]

At this time, Bubbu suddenly remembered something.

Seeing it, it rarely opened its mouth proactively, hopped in front of Li Pu.

Then slowly pulled out a big item from its belly pouch.

"Oh?"

As that thing revealed a corner, Li Pu raised his eyebrows.

Because he could see, it was a black feather.

Needless to ask, it was definitely from the Tower Eagle.

Undoubtedly, the grassman brought him another surprise.

The upgraded [Snail Grass] had indeed plucked two feathers from the Tower Eagle.

If it was someone else, the Tower Eagle wouldn't allow them to take the fallen feathers casually.

But seeing how diligently the grassman worked in recent days, even actively scratching it, it made an exception once.

"With this, the quantity is enough."

Caressing the two feathers, Li Pu received feedback.

As a related B-level item, Bubbu's acquisition fee for it is 15,000.

The skill [Eagle Strike], he originally had plans for.

It can be used to fuse with Bubbu's [Mighty Leap], enhancing the impact of the blue light kangaroo.

The fusion cost is 2,000.

Due to various factors like the summoning beast's level, number of reincarnations, number of skills, levels, original rank, material rank, etc., the usage cost of [Friend of Magical Beasts] varies greatly.

Nowadays, the difference between Bubbu and the grassman, besides their level gap of more than ten levels.

Back then, the grassman only had [Grass Fist (F)], while Bubbu had [Mighty Leap (D)], [Energy Feedback (A)], and [Sprint (C)].

When obtaining [Snail Secret Technique (A)], the acquisition cost was 10,000, fusion cost was 1,000.

Lower than the current price of [Eagle Strike (B)] used on Bubbu.

The significant price difference lies here.

If the fusion costs for all skills were 1,000, he would have become invincible long ago.

Probably already took leave to go home, having the grassman press on grandpa for a vigorous beating.

Now, however, he has nearly 20,000 Crystal Coins, and a mere 2,000 fusion cost isn't much.

So he instantly fused Bubbu's [Mighty Leap] with [Eagle Strike].

[Mighty Leap (D)] + [Eagle Strike (B)] = [Mighty Strike (C)]

[Mighty Strike (C)]: Delivers a powerful strike to the target.

From the description, the specific changes aren't visible.

However, within the dorm, it's not quite convenient to launch.

Therefore, Li Pu decided to set off for Wolf Corridor now.

But the grassman's return also brought bad news.

The East Gate is now completely closed.

If it was just the old lady blocking the way, perhaps he could have pleaded.

Closing it directly, Li Pu felt there was no room for plea.

Now his only remaining option would be to take a detour through the Southern Forest, cross the massive stone wall into East Wilderness Ridge.

From a timing perspective, setting off now should make it before nightfall.

Before departure, the little tree man handed Li Pu two small leaves.

These two leaves were only thumb-sized, jade-like in texture, emitting a special refreshing scent.

They didn't come from the little tree man, but from the Climbing Wall Vine.

From the little tree man he learned that the Climbing Wall Vine had given it before.

With the leaves on him, a 5-meter radius around would form a safety zone, keeping aphids away.

Li Pu expressed heartfelt gratitude for the little tree man's lending him the little leaves.

He promised to help it make more artificial pollination films after returning.

The little tree man, realizing it was exposed, could barely lift its head, quickly drove out the one person, one grass, and one bubbu.
