Compared to card games, building block games were clearly much more fun, and Guoguo and Sakura naturally preferred them.
Moreover, they were at that playful, active, and easily engrossed age, with poor self-control, making them prone to addiction once they found a game they liked.
And so, without realizing it, Lin Chuan’s special training with Guoguo and Sakura, playing building block games, lasted from 9 PM until 12 AM.
As for the effect of the special training?
Lin Chuan said he didn't feel anything, which was normal.
After all, synergy and tacit understanding were elusive concepts, not something that could be rapidly improved by a few hours of last-minute small games; Lin Chuan’s cheat system didn't even support such a function.
Tacit understanding, the kind that allowed spirit beasts to move as one with their Beast Master in battle, required accumulation over time.
Perhaps a month later, some results might be seen, but it wasn't a big problem or too troublesome.
Today was a bit excessive, but in the future, spending an hour or two each day playing these tacit understanding games with Guoguo and Sakura would surely lead to changes in their synergy, wouldn't it?
Alright, now wasn't the time to talk about that; the immediate task was to smoothly and quickly go to Sleeping.
If he didn't go to Sleeping soon, he might suddenly die, just kidding~
It was just that if he didn't rest soon, Guoguo and Sakura's normal sleep schedule would be disrupted, affecting their training arrangements for tomorrow, and even their performance in the competition.
As for Lin Chuan himself?
He stated that this level of overwork was completely fine for him.
As long as it wasn't like before, with awakening in the morning, adding points in the afternoon burning mental energy, and then shopping at night leading to excessive fatigue, he generally wouldn't break down or be unable to get out of bed.
The key was Guoguo and Sakura; although they had passed their rapid growth phase, they were still in the cultivation and nurturing stage.
They still needed to strictly follow their schedule, with every bit of mental and physical energy carefully calculated, to ensure more efficient growth, improvement, and transformation.
A quick start leads to a quick finish; only by maintaining an advantage and not slacking off could they stand out in the enrollment assessment three months later—or rather, two and a half months later—and get into one of the Eight Great Academies!
Come on, my little darlings, my Eight Great Academies admission letter depends on you!
Lin Chuan shouted in his heart.
Lin Chuan's face, however, was expressionless, even a little fierce.
He very seriously instructed and ordered the two little ones to go to Sleeping.
They still wanted to whine and act cute, begging to continue playing building blocks, but seeing Lin Chuan's fierce expression and serious, compelling demeanor, Guoguo and Sakura instantly became good babies and immediately obeyed.
The two large leaf-like structures extending from the top of their heads, like hair, curled around them, and Guoguo and Sakura wrapped themselves into large watermelons.
The flowers on their heads, which had been continuously blooming due to their excitement, also gradually closed, finally turning into bud-like shapes.
"Yi ya ya."
"Yi ying ying ying."
Sleeping, the good babies are already Sleeping!
The two little ones made a sound like burying their heads in the sand.
Lin Chuan couldn't help but laugh.
Speaking of which, a thought flashed through Lin Chuan's mind: shouldn't he arrange for the two little ones to learn the 'Sleeping' skill by adding points?
Then, they could truly fall asleep instantly whenever they wanted.
Whether in daily cultivation or in battle, it would be an excellent self-recovery skill.
After all, both Rooting and Photosynthesis were affected by the terrain and environment.
If they were on a steel plate ground, or on a cloudy or rainy day without sun, then Rooting and Photosynthesis would be indirectly useless.
Hmm, it must be arranged!
Lin Chuan adjusted his previous skill construction outline in his mind.
Unfortunately, he hadn't encountered any materials that could inherit the Sleeping skill to this day.
The Sleeping skill wasn't too rare, but related spirit beasts or demonic creatures that naturally possessed it and had a high probability of producing Sleeping skill materials were not found in Tianshang Town or its vicinity.
It seemed he would have to find time to visit other big cities, Lin Chuan thought.
His thoughts stopped there; not wanting to think any further, Lin Chuan put Guoguo and Sakura into his Pet Space Device.
Hmm?
Why didn't he let the two little ones rest outside as before?
This was because of the Baby Cup.
Currently, there were many outsiders at Lin's Farm, either contestants or family members and spectators staying in hotels near the farm, as well as those who rented the farm's fruit tree forest for special training.
Lin Chuan could even hear monkey calls of 'Oh oh ji ji' coming from the fruit tree forest at this time.
Although the Beastmaster Association explicitly prohibited certain behaviors, it was better to be safe than sorry.
What if a new Beast Master couldn't control his spirit beast?
This was a common problem for new Beast Masters; every year, there were incidents of new Beast Masters failing to control and restrain their spirit beasts, resulting in injuries.
What if Guoguo and Sakura were injured then?
Therefore, it was better to put Guoguo and Sakura back into the Pet Space Device; it was only for these two days anyway.
Exhibiting the washing speed of a teenage boy, Lin Chuan changed into his pajamas and lay on the bed in just 3 minutes.
Just as he was about to close his eyes, Lin Chuan suddenly thought of something and picked up the watch-like Pet Space Device placed on his bedside table.
Gently touching the small button on the side, a tablet-sized virtual screen instantly unfolded in front of Lin Chuan.
Tapping and poking at the virtual screen with his finger, Lin Chuan quickly completed the adjustments.
What was this for?
Nothing much; Lin Chuan just activated one of the auxiliary functions of the watch-like Pet Space Device: 'Bed Check'.
Bed Check.
This small program was an advanced auxiliary program extended from the monitoring function, which many other ordinary, lower-level Pet Space Devices did not have.
Hmm, expensive things only have one drawback: being expensive!
The purpose of Bed Check was to supervise spirit beasts that didn't sleep soundly and liked to get up and party late at night while their Beast Master rested.
This specifically referred to many spirit beasts in their infancy or growth stages that were active, playful, or even mischievous.
It was simply the ultimate bane for these spirit beasts that liked to party in the middle of the night!
It could supervise on behalf of the Beast Master.
Once a spirit beast inside the Pet Space Device didn't rest when it should, and got up to party in the middle of the night, it would automatically activate and play the Beast Master's pre-recorded voice or video for the spirit beast to see.
Basically, no spirit beast could resist Bed Check; many baby spirit beasts deeply resented Bed Check.
Normally, Lin Chuan wouldn't think much of it; Guoguo and Sakura were well-behaved and would definitely Sleep honestly.
Well, Lin Chuan didn't know that Guoguo and Sakura often got up to party in the middle of the night while he was Sleeping, even squabbling to compete for the position of the team's big sister.
It was just that they had a sense of proportion and didn't truly fight with full power, only wrestling and tumbling, which was why Lin Chuan had never discovered it.
Back to the main topic, today, after playing building blocks for so long, Lin Chuan felt that the two little ones were probably still excited and might get up to party in the middle of the night, which was why he prepared to activate the Bed Check function.
After setting it up, Lin Chuan finally lay comfortably on the bed and closed his eyes.
The next morning.
Lin Chuan's biological clock woke him up punctually at 5:30 AM.
First, Lin Chuan put on the watch-like Pet Space Device placed on his bedside table, then checked the activation record of the Bed Check mini-program from last night.
Lin Chuan's eyes flashed; sure enough, it was as he expected.
The Bed Check mini-program was activated once!
This meant that Guoguo and Sakura really did get up to party in the middle of the night while he was Sleeping, but they were successfully scared back to Sleeping by the Bed Check mini-program.
Since there was only one record, it proved that Guoguo and Sakura were still quite obedient, so he wouldn't hold it against them.
Washing up, changing clothes, and in less than 3 minutes, Lin Chuan, refreshed and energetic, left his room.
Outside the small villa, in the small courtyard at the entrance.
Lin Chuan released Guoguo and Sakura from the Pet Space Device.
Immediately after being released, Guoguo and Sakura were still wrapped in their leaves, seemingly still in deep Sleeping.
After sensing the sudden change in air temperature and humidity, they quickly woke up, their entire watermelon-shaped bodies trembling slightly, and then their leaves slowly unfolded.
The flower buds on their heads also gradually bloomed into delicate flower shapes.
Speaking of which, due to their battle-pet oriented cultivation, the color and texture of the flowers on Guoguo and Sakura's heads were already different from the other Flower Leaf Leaf on the farm.
Guoguo's flower texture became increasingly translucent, feeling slightly hard to the touch, with a cool, smooth, crystal-like sensation, while its flower color changed towards a sacred pure white.
Sakura's flower texture, on the other hand, developed towards tenderness, feeling very soft to the touch, like a pure maiden's skin, while its color became increasingly pink, a cute color that dazzled the eyes and captivated the heart.
"Yi ya ya!"
"Ying ying ying,"
The awakened Guoguo and Sakura simultaneously greeted Lin Chuan good morning.
Then, the two little darlings hopped and jumped around Lin Chuan without stopping.
They were warming up on their own accord because they were about to do their morning exercises.
Originally, Lin Xuédòng led the exercises, but for a recent period, or rather, for the next three months until the enrollment assessment, Lin Chuan would be leading them.
Lin Chuan also did a brief warm-up, stretching his muscles and bones, and then took Guoguo and Sakura for two laps of jogging around the villa's small courtyard.
By 6 o'clock, Lin Chuan took a spray gun to the Flower Leaf Leaf field area, watering each field area one by one with the spray gun, waking all the Flower Leaf Leaf on the farm from their Sleeping.
Flower Leaf Leaf field area.
In the fields, the swaying flower buds slowly opened with the mist sprayed from the water gun.
Yi yi ya ya ying ying, crisp and cute sounds echoed through the fields.
Just like a kindergarten or elementary school scene, the Flower Leaf Leaf woke up one by one, shook off the water droplets on their heads, and then, using their chubby hands to push against the ground, pulled themselves out of the soil pits.
They then jumped twice, shaking off the dirt from their bodies.
Afterward, the Flower Leaf Leaf ran towards a small square in the field.
In no time, the Flower Leaf Leaf, from smallest to largest, from shortest to tallest, and divided into five rows according to their fruit flavors, neatly lined up on the small square.
At this time, Lin Chuan was already waiting at the front of the queue, on the slightly elevated, wide steps, with Guoguo and Sakura on either side of him.
"Good morning, everyone."
"It seems everyone slept very well last night; you're all very energetic and lively.
No one got up to play naughty in the middle of the night, right?"
With the demeanor of a leader, Lin Chuan said with a smile.
Below, there was a chorus of 'Yi yi ya ya ying ying' in response.
Only Guoguo and Sakura, standing on either side of him, had cold sweat on their foreheads, looking guilty.
Lin Chuan chuckled inwardly.
Although he wouldn't hold it against them, he still needed to lightly warn them.
Hmm, that's enough.
"Then, for today's morning exercises, prepare!"
From joking to serious, Lin Chuan said in a deep, low voice.
As the morning glow spilled across the sky, and the warm morning sun fell upon every Flower Leaf Leaf in the field's small square, a children's style music with a mysterious rhythm began to play.
"The third set, Flower Leaf Leaf Calisthenics, now begins!"
"One, two, three, four; two, two, three, four ~"
"Jump up, raise your hands ~"
"Three, two, three, four; four, two, three, four ~"
"Turn around, raise your leaves ~"
Under the morning glow, Lin Chuan led a group of Flower Leaf Leaf in their daily calisthenics.
The human eye couldn't observe it; only professional energy testing devices could detect it.
Strands, finer than hair, of warm morning sun energy slowly and continuously permeated the body of every Flower Leaf Leaf.
Especially Guoguo and Sakura, who were doing the calisthenics movements most seriously, accurately, and diligently on Lin Chuan's left and right, a faint, fresh green light appeared on their bodies.
An hour later, the calisthenics ended, and Lin Chuan wiped his sweat with a towel.
It was at this moment that Lin Chuan suddenly had an inexplicable sensation!
Energy seemed to surge into his body from the void outside, making him feel warm and very comfortable.
The physical and mental energy consumed during the calisthenics was almost completely restored in an instant.
Energy feedback!
Lin Chuan was slightly stunned, then suddenly woke up, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise.
He hadn't expected his Beast Master level to increase at this moment; he was now level 5.
At the same time, this also meant that just now, either Guoguo or Sakura, or both, had leveled up, which was why they could provide him with feedback.
Lin Chuan quickly took an energy tester to measure himself.
He was now Zero-tier level five, which is level 5.
Guoguo was First-tier level six, which is level 16.
Sakura was First-tier level five, which is level 15.
Very good, very well, Guoguo and Sakura both leveled up.
Immediately, Lin Chuan's mood brightened considerably.
With Guoguo and Sakura leveling up, he had even more confidence in today's competition.
Well, it should be an increase from 100% confidence to 200%.
Speaking of which, since Guoguo and Sakura had leveled up, and he had also leveled up, could he add another wave of points?
Lin Chuan glanced at the time.
It was now 7:12 AM.
The second day of the Hua Ye Ye Cup competition started at 10 AM, just like yesterday.
Plenty of time, he could add points!
Lin Chuan ran back to his room and took out all the skill materials he had bought from various Beast Master shops whenever he had free time these days, selecting them one by one.
Sakura already had a damage skill, although it was only an entry-level Poison Powder, with negligible damage.
But it was a damage skill nonetheless; even if the damage was negligible, as long as it lasted long enough, it could eventually take down the opponent's little darling.
As for Guoguo, she had previously inherited a fighting attribute's combat experience, but she didn't have a true active damage skill.
Now, it was time to give Guoguo an active damage skill!
Lin Chuan's gaze fell on a black fruit pit!
Previously, it had been put aside due to insufficient mental energy.
Now that his Beast Master level had risen to 5, his mental energy had noticeably increased, and he was confident he could inherit this skill to Guoguo.
A very rare and powerful Wood Attribute energy damage skill.
Bomb Fruit!
