Chapter 51 - This Kid Will Achieve Greatness In The Future!
Chapter 51: This Kid Will Achieve Greatness In The Future!
The endless grassland seemed to reach into the horizon.
After Adjutant Li finished speaking, he gave each of them a backpack.
There was water, food, a tent, and some tools for survival in the wilderness.
This was enough for 50 miles of wilderness trekking and exploration after entering the Floating Forest.
They were already well prepared.
Wang Che carried his backpack and weighed it. It was about 15 kilograms.
With the current quality of humans in the world, it was not considered heavy.
For these reserve Contract Soul Masters whose bodies had been strengthened by the life contract, it felt even lighter.
After some thought, Wang Che stopped the green caterpillar rolling on the grass and planned to set off.
“Wait, Student Wang Che, Adjutant Li said that it’s better to travel together with someone. Why don’t we go together? We’ll split the rewards equally.”
The tall, capable, and long-legged girl with an impressive figure, Cheng Cheng, said casually, “We can take care of each other.”
Wang Che was about to reject when the pretty girl walked up with a smile.
“I don’t think so. Student Wang’s soul pet is a green caterpillar that eats leaves and grass. Your Golden Thorn Grass and the green caterpillar are not compatible. If you get together, it’s very easy to have conflicts.”
These words caused Cheng Cheng to frown. This logic was simply nonsense.
“Why don’t you come with me? My name is Bai Youyou.”
The obedient-looking girl smiled and said, “My Rolling Rock Weasel can dig holes. When we go to the Floating Forest, we can easily find some treasures buried underground. I can even give up the rewards for the competition. How about I give them all to you?”
How rich and imposing!
The competition rewards were not bad.
Wang Che thought to himself, ‘It’s so troublesome to be too handsome.’
“Ssss!”
The green caterpillar on the side chirped twice and looked at the Rolling Rock Weasel about the same age as it, as well as the Golden Thorn Grass on the other side.
It urged Wang Che twice, as if asking, ‘Who are you choosing? Don’t worry, I don’t mind.’
“It’s so cute.”
Bai Youyou walked to the green caterpillar and plucked a leaf.
She fed it to the green caterpillar.
The green caterpillar sniffed and its eyes lit up. It pouted at Bai Youyou, “Ssss!”
It seemed to be saying: ‘This is it, this is good!’
Wang Che: “…”
Cheng Cheng frowned. She didn’t seem to be good with words and didn’t say anything.
Wang Che knocked the green caterpillar on the head.
It could only obediently crawl back.
“Sorry…” Wang Che was about to reject them.
At this moment, the male student called Chen Fei also walked up and said, “Student Wang, why don’t we go together?”
Eh?
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Immediately, three gazes landed on Chen Fei.
Wang Che also looked at Chen Fei in surprise.
‘Why?’
‘A man like you is coming too?’
‘What do you want?’
‘Swordplay?’
“Student Chen Fei, what are you thinking?” Bai Youyou subconsciously took a few steps back.
“You misunderstand.” Chen Fei pushed up his glasses. There seemed to be no woman in his eyes, only the green caterpillar’s figure reflected in them. “I’m just very curious about this green caterpillar. Although the Enlightenment Cup isn’t very valuable, it’s still a beginner level soul pet competition.”
“I can’t imagine a green caterpillar winning. This green caterpillar doesn’t look mutated.”
“So, I want to go with Student Wang and observe this green caterpillar.”
“As for the two of you, please go ahead.”
Seriously…
Wang Che glanced at Chen Fei. This kid would achieve greatness in the future!
The green caterpillar looked at Chen Fei and the two girls, then immediately turned its head to the two girls.
It did not want to be observed and studied.
“I’m used to being alone.” Wang Che smiled and said, “It’s not suitable to travel with others. I’m afraid I’ll delay you.”
“It’s okay, I don’t mind,” Bai Youyou grinned.
“I mind.” Wang Che’s expression was serious, “The wilderness is so dangerous, the green caterpillar will drag you down. I’m just bringing this child out to explore and broaden your horizons. I can’t delay your exploration and learning. As for the champion of the Enlightenment Cup, it was purely a fluke.”
Then, Wang Che did not give them a chance to speak and immediately waved his hand.
Carrying his backpack and the green caterpillar, he walked on the lush grass.
The three of them were left stunned.
Wang Che breathed in the air and looked at the blue sky. He was in a good mood.
“Wu!”
A deer came to Wang Che’s side. It sized him up and stumbled away.
Wild soul beasts were indeed very different from soul pets in the artificial forest.
This deer had coral-like antlers. It was not big and looked small and cute, possessing a gentle nature.
It was not aggressive either.
The difference was that soul pets in the wilderness were slightly healthier than those cultivated by people.
Most of them had injuries on their bodies.
However, the aura on its body was clearly stronger.
“Ssss!” The green caterpillar sounded out.
It was saying that the deer was injured.
“Continue moving forward.” Wang Che said.
Injured soul beasts were very common, so Wang Che naturally could not care for them all.
There were too many soul beasts on the grassland.
Fortunately, most soul pets still had good intentions towards humans. As long as they didn’t actively attack, they wouldn’t interfere.
Some soul pets with milder temperaments would take the initiative to approach.
Insects, grass, flowers, animals, and all sorts of soul pets were things the green caterpillar had never seen before.
It was completely dazzled.
After walking for less than ten kilometers, the sky had not turned dark yet.
Wang Che set up the tent and planned to rest for a while.
Along the way, he picked up many special plants and herbs.
With his experience, he should be able to make some simple medicine for use on the way.
There were no expensive recovery drugs in the backpack given by Adjutant Li.
When Wang Che arrived, he did not buy any.
These things were too expensive, and Wang Che felt that he could handle things, so there was no need to buy them.
He also recalled the feeling when he first learned alchemy.
The grassland was rich in resources, although most of them were rather ordinary.
Others might not be able to discover the medicinal properties of these ordinary plants.
Most of the medicines in this world were made from materials related to soul pets.
“Alright, use the Raging Flame Strike now, but don’t charge. Stand in the pile of wood and start a fire. You have to control the temperature of the flames. Don’t let it be too hot or too small.” Wang Che said.
While refining medicine, it could also train the green caterpillar’s control over the Raging Flame Strike.
Naturally, this caterpillar had to be used to its limit.
The green caterpillar felt that it was a tool, but it still obeyed.
Before long, Wang Che refined more than ten pieces of ointment that could be applied externally as well as medicinal liquid that could heal injuries internally.
“You can easily find a large amount of wild grass in the wilderness grassland. These wild grass contain extraordinary soul power and also contain a certain amount of medicinal properties… Although the effect of refining it is slightly inferior to those store-bought potions, the advantage is in the quantity and convenience…”
After Wang Che refined the medicinal herbs, he used a few milk pine leaves to feed the green caterpillar and let the little guy play on the grassland for a while.
“Don’t go too far.”
The green caterpillar enjoyed playing on the grassland.
Its favorite thing was to lie on the grassland and roll around.
It flattened clusters of grass and then rolled around.
