With Lin Chuan’s fairy tale, “thumbelina,” as a starting point, the atmosphere of the storytelling session completely opened up.
Wan Wan certainly wouldn't waste such a good opportunity and began telling stories as well.
Book Spirit doesn't possess the human-like inspiration and creativity to innovate upon existing knowledge or create new knowledge.
However, Book Spirit possesses an almost photographic memory.
Wan Wan had memorized many fairy tales, short stories, and anecdotes.
To earn pocket money for her own cultivation and skill training by writing web novels, Wan Wan even memorized various popular web novel plot templates.
She only needed to change the names of the protagonists and supporting characters, alter the location and time of the story, insert them into the template, and then make a few minor modifications.
And it would be a new short, satisfying novel!
Wan Wan told stories for a full 6 hours, from 9 PM until 3 AM.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan stopped her.
Otherwise, Wan Wan could have continued telling stories; with the volume of stories she had memorized and the stories she could instantly create using web novel templates, she could have talked for ten days to half a month without a problem.
Well, Wan Wan's stamina couldn't keep up.
With her Soldier Grade Lower bloodline and current level of only 3, telling stories like this would probably leave her dizzy and exhausted in just a few days.
After this storytelling session,
Guoguo and Sakura completely accepted and genuinely liked Wan Wan, the Book Spirit, as their new companion.
Whenever they had free time, they would pester Wan Wan to tell them stories.
Especially Guoguo, who particularly loved all kinds of satisfying novels, almost becoming Wan Wan's little follower.
Upon learning that Wan Wan liked all kinds of delicious food, Guoguo immediately took out her treasured delicious nutritious soil to share with Wan Wan.
Naturally, Wan Wan thanked her three times and politely declined.
Wan Wan explained that she wasn't a plant-type spirit beast and couldn't eat soil; compared to soil, she preferred human snacks like potato chips, cakes, and jelly.
Guoguo tilted her head, not understanding for a moment.
Sakura, however, understood quickly and immediately pulled out a thick red envelope containing a full 20,000 star rock coins from her red envelope cabinet in her Beast Control Space, handing it to Wan Wan and telling her to buy whatever she wanted to eat.
Speaking of which, Guoguo and Sakura had accumulated a total of 200,000 star rock coins in their red envelopes; Lin Chuan wasn't short on this small amount of money now and no longer helped 'keep' their red envelopes, instead returning all of them to the two little ones for them to manage themselves.
As spirit beasts, Guoguo and Sakura could already be considered little rich ladies.
At least much richer than Wan Wan.
Previously, Wan Wan worked part-time as a web novel author, diligently writing in her free time, earning only 4,000 to 5,000 star rock coins each month, and even now, she had saved less than 60,000 star rock coins, while Guoguo and Sakura casually pulled out 20,000 star rock coins.
Wan Wan wanted to refuse, but her strength simply couldn't resist.
Finally, Sakura forcibly stuffed the red envelope into the interleaved pages of her main body, a cooking magazine.
Guoguo, realizing belatedly, also took a large red envelope from her red envelope cabinet and stuffed it into the interleaved pages of Wan Wan's main body book.
Is this... what it feels like to be taken care of by a little rich lady?
At the same time, Guoguo and Sakura's red envelopes were also given by Lin Chuan, which meant she was indirectly taken care of by the handsome and dominant CEO.
At this moment,
Wan Wan's favorability towards Sakura, Guoguo, and Lin Chuan soared like a rocket!
If this were a dating game where favorability could be directly seen,
Then, at this very moment, one would see the hearts representing favorability above Wan Wan's head.
From 3 hearts of friendliness, it instantly rapidly rose to 8 hearts of adoration!
...
The week-long celebration at Lin's Flower Leaf Breeding Base had 2 days left.
After these 2 days, Lin Chuan planned to depart for the Sixth Academy to report.
Although the Sixth Academy's notice said to report within a month, there were still nearly 20 days left.
However, Lin Chuan couldn't wait any longer!
Because Guoguo's level was almost impossible to suppress.
These past few days, Lin Chuan didn't dare to let Guoguo undergo daily training, and even didn't dare to let Guoguo bask in the sun, fearing that Guoguo might instinctively activate Photosynthesis and accidentally reach level 20, break through to Tier 2, and evolve into Flower Spirit, which would be troublesome.
At that time, just like Sakura's evolution before,
The level increase, breakthrough, evolution, and bloodline tier Transformation would result in a massive energy feedback, instantly pushing his Beast Master level from the current 9 to 10, allowing him to break through to Tier 1.
To suppress Guoguo's level, Lin Chuan also told Guoguo these past two days that he really, really wanted to eat the fruits she bore.
So, Guoguo focused all her nutrition and energy on accelerating fruit production.
Only by doing so was she barely able to suppress Guoguo's advancement.
Even so, Guoguo's head has been covered with fruits recently, so much so that Sakura often secretly picks them, offering them as a 'borrowed flower for Buddha.'
If Guoguo doesn't cultivate, Sakura can only stop and slack off.
He can't stimulate Guoguo's competitive spirit, otherwise, Guoguo will secretly start to overwork.
Then,
Lin Chuan could only focus his attention on Wan Wan.
By now, having spent 5 days with Book Spirit Wan Wan, Lin Chuan had a pretty good understanding of Wan Wan's personality.
Shy, introverted, quiet, timid, gentle, obedient, polite, and occasionally a bit clumsy, a standard literary otaku female personality.
However, sometimes she could also be very stubborn and determined.
For example, three days ago, Lin Chuan asked her to memorize Old Deng's research knowledge on Flower Leaf Leaf.
Lin Chuan's thought was that a basic understanding would suffice, just enough to assist him in taking care of Guoguo and Sakura later, such as helping to prepare daily nutritional soil and nutrient solutions.
However, Wan Wan stubbornly plunged into the mountain of documents and materials that filled two entire rooms.
Even though Lin Chuan tried to dissuade her multiple times, he couldn't get Wan Wan to stop.
She stayed up for two nights, a total of 48 hours, and forcibly memorized about 10 years' worth of Lin Xuédòng's 30 years of research accumulation, almost memorizing all the research data that was useful and potentially usable for Lin Chuan.
After completing the memorization, Wan Wan fainted on the spot.
Sakura and Guoguo immediately performed emergency first aid, continuously using Healing Aroma and Sweet Fruit; even so, she only recovered her spirits after resting for most of the day.
Wan Wan's stubbornness made Lin Chuan feel helpless; this was the drawback of having high intelligence but being inflexible and unable to adapt.
Once she set her mind on something, not even ten dragons could pull her back.
Well, let's not talk about these for now.
Now, it was time to let Wan Wan know certain truths.
"Wan Wan, ignoring the issue of bloodline quality, can you tell me the characteristics of your Book Spirit race, such as what type of spirit beast you are—logistics support, or some other type?"
"Also, what is the Book Spirit's most Specialties combat style, or what is your most Specialties combat style?"
Lin Chuan asked.
Lin Chuan's understanding of Book Spirit was limited to being an encyclopedia and an all-purpose secretary, and he knew very little about her combat style.
Is he testing me?
Or is he preparing to start cultivating me as a battle pet?
No matter which it is, I must take it seriously!
This is her chance to show herself!
Wan Wan's expression was serious, her small fists tightly clutching the hem of her dress, showing her nervous state.
Closing her eyes, Wan Wan quickly found the relevant content in her memory knowledge base.
Skipping over the racial characteristic of Book Spirit's expertise in memorization, which almost everyone knew, Wan Wan mainly introduced other aspects of Book Spirit to Lin Chuan.
"Book Spirit, primary Fairy Attribute, secondary Illusion Attribute."
"Book Spirit's combat also revolves around the 'Fairy' attribute."
"The Fairy Attribute is also known as the Natural Attribute, the Universal Attribute."
"The Fairy Attribute can simulate the skills of most other natural attributes, including the basic five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and higher attributes such as Wind, Lightning, Light, and Darkness."
"Using the Fairy Attribute to simulate the skills of other natural attributes is called Fairy Art."
"For example, the Water Attribute's Water Gun skill, when cast with Fairy Attribute energy, becomes Fairy Art - Water Gun."
"Ordinary attribute energy originates from the spirit beast's or monster's body and spirit core, while Fairy Art uses Fairy Attribute energy as an lead, mobilizing energy from the natural environment, and then condensing it into a skill."
"Therefore, the power of Fairy Art skills will be greatly affected by the surrounding natural environment."
“On the vast ocean, the effect of Fairy Art - Water Gun will be even greater. A 1st-tier fairy energy can even deal 2nd or even 3rd-tier natural attribute energy skill damage.”
“However, in the desert, Fairy Art - Water Gun might even fail to be cast.”
“Of course, there are also purely Fairy Attribute skills.”
“Purely Fairy Attribute skills are also known as Fairy Arts.”
“Fairy Arts often have incredible effects, such as divination, prophecy, Lucky Blessing, lucky curse, and so on.”
After speaking up to this point in one breath, Wan Wan paused to rest for a while before continuing:
“Book Spirit is a spirit beast that primarily battles using Fairy Arts and Fairy Arts, belonging to the energy burst type of spirit beast.”
“The specific combat power of a Book Spirit, excluding level factors limited by bloodline, is determined by the types of Fairy Arts it masters.”
“The more types and attributes of Fairy Arts it masters, and the higher its proficiency, the stronger that Book Spirit will be.”
“A sufficient number of Fairy Arts with different attributes, combined with the Book Spirit's own extensive theoretical knowledge, allows the Book Spirit to adapt to various combat environments. By considering factors like the environment and terrain, and applying its knowledge, it can find the most suitable, simplest, and most targeted tactical solution, thereby perfectly countering opponents.”
“Above, is the combat style of a Book Spirit.”
Magic burst, good heavens, Book Spirit is actually a magic burst type spirit beast, a pure mage!
And it even follows the counter-all-magic style: as long as I'm proficient in enough types of magic, there will always be one in my spell list that suits you!
“So, Wan Wan, what skills and Fairy Arts have you mastered?”
Lin Chuan asked again with anticipation and curiosity.
Previously, when Wan Wan introduced herself, she said that she had been cultivating herself, buying resources to train her skills with the money earned from writing web novels.
Wan Wan blushed awkwardly, pinching the corner of her dress with her small hand.
“W-woo, I, I, my bloodline rank is too low, and I don't have enough energy in my body.”
“Since my birth until now, which has been almost two years, I, I have only learned one skill.”
“A fire attribute smoke skill, Fairy Art - Smoke.”
Saying that, Wan Wan even demonstrated it for Lin Chuan.
She saw her small hand point at the void beside her, and immediately, a puff of white smoke appeared out of nowhere, completely enveloping her. She was faintly visible within the smoke.
Unfortunately, Wan Wan's body size was too small.
The actual volume of that white smoke was only about the size of a fist.
Lin Chuan blew a breath and dispersed it.
Wan Wan cast Fairy Art - Smoke again, this time putting all her strength into it, using all the Fairy Attribute energy in her entire body. In the end, she could only generate white smoke that covered half of Lin Chuan's body. Lin Chuan lightly waved his hand to fan it, dispersing it once more.
“Th-this, this is an entry-level smoke, used with Fairy Attribute energy, so it's Fairy Art - Smoke.”
Wan Wan said in a voice as faint as a mosquito's, afraid that Lin Chuan would be disappointed in her.
Indeed, Lin Chuan was a little disappointed.
He had thought Wan Wan would be like the characters in the web novels she wrote—an unworldly genius, limited only by her low bloodline rank and inability to advance her level, but with full comprehension, mastering many skills. As long as she underwent Nirvana rebirth and reforged her bloodline, she would soar to greatness.
However, this was also to be expected.
Moreover, this wasn't a big problem. Wan Wan wasn't a peerless genius, but Lin Chuan could turn her into one.
“Wan Wan, next, I will let you in on some of my secrets as a Beast Master.”
Lin Chuan said seriously.
“Hmm, it's hard to explain specifically, you should experience it yourself.”
Wan Wan didn't even have time to nod in response to Lin Chuan.
She saw Lin Chuan take out a small ornament made from low-level spirit beast material. It was a small pendant crafted from an unknown spirit beast's tooth. Judging from the size of the tooth and the patterns and chips on it, it seemed to be the incisor of a Flame Rabbit.
Confused, Wan Wan didn't understand why Lin Chuan suddenly took out such a small ornament. Was he going to give it to her as a gift?
While Wan Wan was confused and bewildered, Lin Chuan used Reincarnation of Inheritance.
Currently, Lin Chuan's Beast Master level had already reached level 9, and he was very close to level 10. His mental strength was more than 3 times what it was a month and a half ago during the Xiao Qingkong Cup.
Because of this, inheriting low-level skills was easy and smiling for him. He could inherit at least 3 times a day, and if he pushed the time limit, he could even inherit 5 times.
Formless black and white energies intertwined, flowing along Lin Chuan's arm and into the tooth pendant.
In an instant, the small pendant emitted a warm red glow.
What's going on!?
Before Wan Wan could react and collect herself, Lin Chuan placed the small pendant on her main book.
The warm red light suddenly burst forth!
Wan Wan's main book, including her exquisitely materialized body, was enveloped by the red light.
Wan Wan's consciousness instantly fell into chaos, as if she were having a lucid dream in broad daylight.
In a trance, Wan Wan felt herself transform into a Flame Rabbit, a red-furred, fire-breathing spirit beast with flames burning on its two ears.
Born in the wilderness, she spent every day foraging and avoiding danger. She lived for 10 years and was finally hunted and preyed upon by a bird monster.
Five minutes later, Wan Wan regained consciousness.
Dazed and bewildered, her large round glasses askew, Wan Wan stood there foolishly, entering a state of adorable blankness.
Lin Chuan waved his hand in front of her.
The faint breeze from his palm ruffled Wan Wan's hair, which finally woke her up.
“M-M-Master, ter.”
“You, you, you.”
Too nervous, Wan Wan stammered again.
Lin Chuan, however, just smiled at her, pressing his lips together without speaking.
Wan Wan took a deep breath.
Then she closed her eyes, immersing herself in her memory knowledge base.
Deeply imprinted in her memory knowledge base was all the knowledge of one skill.
Little Fireball!
Wan Wan used it by reflex.
A strand of hair-thin, silvery-white transparent Fairy Attribute energy emerged from Wan Wan's hand, drawing the natural energy from the surrounding environment and slowly condensing into a mini Little Fireball with a diameter of only 3 centimeters.
Although it was such an ultra-mini fireball, it couldn't deal any damage at all, at most it could only be used to light a cigarette.
But, without a doubt, it truly was!
Entry-level, Fairy Art - Little Fireball!
“Master, you!”
Dispelling the fireball, Wan Wan's eyes widened, and she looked at Lin Chuan in disbelief.
Lin Chuan put a finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture, then smiled and said:
“This is Skill Master. One of my Beast Master talents.”
“Sk-Skill Master?”
Wan Wan stammered, repeating the words.
She wanted to say that Skill Master didn't have such heaven-defying effects.
Skill Master was supposed to increase a spirit beast's comprehension.
But, you still had to practice skills the way you were supposed to. At most, a skill that originally took 10 practices to learn might only take 3 practices.
But Lin Chuan's was direct attribute points! Instant learning!
This was not a Beast Master talent, this was clearly a cheat!
However, Wan Wan's intelligence made her instantly swallow the words she had originally intended to say.
With an incredibly solemn expression, Wan Wan slowly and forcefully nodded.
“That's right! It's Skill Master.”
“Master, your Beast Master talent, Skill Master, is too amazing!”
After expressing her awe.
Wan Wan suddenly became shy and awkward again, looking like she wanted to say something but didn't dare.
Just as Lin Chuan was wondering.
He saw Wan Wan softly kneel on her main book, sitting like a duck.
With her head tilted up at a 45-degree angle, Wan Wan looked at Lin Chuan with pitiful eyes, like a discarded puppy.
Her two small hands were still tugging at Lin Chuan's sleeve, gently swaying.
“Master, that, that…”
“That, that, Wan Wan, still wants more!”
“Please, Master, Master is the best.”
He originally thought Wan Wan was just a dazed literary otaku, but he didn't expect her to be able to act cute.
A certain unnamed white palace-dressed Book Spirit gave a thumbs-up; this was all trained by it.
With that soft, weak voice, those pitiful pleading eyes, and her hands tugging at his sleeve, gently swaying.
This level of cuteness must be Expert Grade!
Oh my god!
In this situation, what tough man could resist?
