Will a Book Spirit, contracted with its creator, have exclusive talent skills?
There's such a secret about Book Spirit?
Lin Chuan immediately asked what kind of exclusive skill it was.
Wan Wan shook her head slightly, indicating that she wasn't clear about the specific effects of the skill.
Book Spirit are born with human civilization.
However, in the history of humanity, the number of Beast Master who have contracted with a Book Spirit that happens to be the author of the Book Spirit's original book is extremely rare.
Unlike Book Spirit that break through bloodline shackles using Nirvana Fire, although they are few, there are still one or two in the entire human civilization every ten years.
But for Book Spirit contracted with the author of their original book, there are no specific archival records, only rumors.
According to rumors, once a Book Spirit establishes a Spirit Beast contract with the author of its original book, it will awaken an extraordinary exclusive talent skill.
Lin Chuan pondered, then made a decision.
Alright, isn't it just writing a book?
If he had to write a book completely by himself, from conception, to character design, plot arrangement, and finally writing it out, Lin Chuan would indeed find it a bit difficult. However, he didn't need to write it himself; he just needed to transport some classic books from his previous life on Blue Star. Being a plagiarist was quite easy.
"Wan Wan, does the content of the book greatly affect the bloodline aptitude of you Book Spirit?"
"For example, would a Book Spirit that contains a Spiritual Core of Illusion Attribute in a book with extremely profound Secret Skill knowledge be special?"
Lin Chuan asked again.
Wan Wan pursed her lips, shook her head gently, and replied.
"The content of the book has an influence, but the influence is very small, almost negligible."
"For a Book Spirit, the content of the book mostly influences personality and natural preferences. For example, I, because my original book is a cooking magazine, like to eat all kinds of human delicacies, and thus was given the nickname 'Little Foodie' by an elder Book Spirit."
"In terms of ability and comprehension, it's more about destiny."
"Even a popular miscellaneous book can give birth to a Book Spirit with extraordinary comprehension."
"Even a book that records Secret Skill knowledge, the Book Spirit born from it might be very dull and clumsy."
Lin Chuan nodded slightly, rubbing his chin.
If the content of the book had a huge impact on the bloodline aptitude of the Book Spirit, then he would probably have to transport books like the Tao Te Ching, the Classic of Poetry, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
But since the content of the book has a relatively small impact on bloodline quality, and more on the Book Spirit's personality and preferences, then he won't transport those classic books. He doesn't want Wan Wan to gradually become a true bookworm, suddenly spouting ancient literary phrases at him.
Wan Wan's current personality and image—an occasionally adorable little foodie, and a reliable literary girl when serious—are very good.
"So, Wan Wan, what kind of books do you like?"
"Historical stories? Legends and biographies? Poetry and prose? Or online novels? Or like your current cooking recipes?"
Lin Chuan asked again.
This time, Wan Wan thought for a long time, finally blushing and shyly lowering her head:
"Um, um, I like the fairytale you told me before, thumbelina."
thumbelina?
So, it's fairytale fables.
Alright, Lin Chuan knew what kind of book he should copy.
However, writing a book, even copying one, isn't something that can be done in a day or two.
Moreover, according to what Wan Wan said, he couldn't just type on a computer and quickly print it into a book. He had to write it by hand, and then bind it into a book. Only then would it meet the conditions for being the creator of the Book Spirit's original book.
The material for the book also needed to be carefully selected.
Ordinary book paper certainly wouldn't do, and he couldn't obtain paper made from high-grade Spirit Beast leather right now.
Even the Sixth Academy's resource platform didn't have such resources. Who would use high-grade Spirit Beast leather materials to make paper?
Even if there were, it would require a special order and waiting for others to produce it.
Furthermore, as a freshman who just entered the Sixth Academy, if he specifically ordered expensive but obviously impractical items, it would be hard for the academy not to notice him.
Besides, the price of ordering, those academic points, were not something he could afford right now.
In addition to the paper for the book, the ink used for writing also needed to be carefully selected.
The Spirit Mark ink 'Xuan Guang Ink' used to draw and condense the Spiritual Core ritual array was very good.
Well, Xuan Guang Ink is Illusion Attribute ink.
To make the original book for Wan Wan, he still needed to use Fairy Attribute Spirit Mark ink.
Back in the main house study.
Lin Chuan used his computer, and Wan Wan used a small phone Lin Chuan provided her, to browse the Sixth Academy's internal resource platform together.
They selected various materials for making the book.
First, ink: 1 bottle of Xuan Guang Ink, plus 3 bottles of Spirit Fairy Ink.
According to Wan Wan herself, she couldn't just strengthen the Fairy Attribute; the Illusion Attribute also needed to keep up slightly, so that it could better fit Lin Chuan, the core Beast Master.
Then, the material for the book pages.
As expected, there was no paper made from precious Spirit Beast leather, but Lin Chuan did find some very exquisite paper made from fragrant plant materials, judging from the pictures.
It seemed to be made from a unique secret recipe by a senior who had contracted a Book Spirit.
According to this senior's description.
His Book Spirit loved to use this kind of paper as personal stationery, for writing greeting cards and blessings.
The fragrant, pleasant-smelling paper wasn't a supernatural item, but it was much better than ordinary paper, with good resistance to ordinary fire and water, so it wouldn't just burn if you held a lighter to it. Of course, when it came to supernatural fire skills used by Spirit Beast, it was no different from ordinary paper.
This senior also specifically stated that this kind of paper was one of the best gifts for a Book Spirit.
Beast Master who know an uncontracted and suitable Book Spirit, and wish to contract with them, can buy some as a gift for the Book Spirit.
It's best to become pen pals with that Book Spirit and cultivate feelings through continuous daily correspondence, allowing the Book Spirit to voluntarily lower their appearance assessment standards, and then a successful contract can be made.
And for Beast Master who have already contracted with a Book Spirit, regularly using this kind of paper to write daily small notes to their Book Spirit is also an effective way to increase intimacy and tacit agreement.
Lin Chuan after reading it: ???
There's such a trick?
So, Lin Chuan asked Wan Wan.
Can this method really improve intimacy and tacit agreement with a Book Spirit?
Wan Wan kneaded the corner of her skirt with her small hands, mumbling for a long time.
"Well, maybe, possibly, probably."
"However, it also depends on the specific Book Spirit. Each Book Spirit has a different personality and different preferences. Some don't like letters or small notes."
"What about you?"
Lin Chuan asked directly.
Wan Wan fell silent, quietly holding up a page of a book and hiding herself behind it, revealing half of her small head.
Alright, Lin Chuan understood.
He had previously wondered what kind of small gifts Wan Wan liked, besides being a little foodie who loved delicious food, just like Guoguo and Sakura liked flowers.
Now he knew. Should he say it's worthy of being a Book Spirit, worthy of being a literary girl?
She likes pretty stationery, cultured letters, and communicating with daily notes. That makes it simple. In the future, on holidays or whenever he's happy, he can write a few greeting cards and notes to Wan Wan.
Speaking of which, the smooth condensation of the Spiritual Core of Illusion Attribute was largely due to Wan Wan's efforts, as well as her desperate efforts to memorize knowledge. All of these deserve praise.
Lin Chuan decided that once the paper arrived, he would find some time to secretly make a greeting card bookmark and personally write a thank-you note for Wan Wan.
Back to the main topic.
Lin Chuan directly bought 15 academic points worth of this paper, with 300 sheets per 1 academic point.
A total of 4500 sheets of special scented paper should be enough to transport most of the famous fairytale fables from his previous life, with plenty to spare, even allowing for simple illustrations, including classic Andersen Grimm fairytales, One Thousand and One Nights, Alice in Wonderland, and many postmodern online fairytales.
These 15 academic points, plus the 10 academic points spent on mental potions earlier.
Lin Chuan had almost used up the 30 reserve academic points provided by the academy as a benefit.
Of course, only the reserve academic points were used up; Lin Chuan still had quite a few regular academic points on hand.
After reporting the successful condensation of the Spiritual Core of Illusion Attribute in his upper Dantian at Tier 1 to the academy, the academy directly rewarded him with 100 points.
One bottle of Xuan Guang Ink costs 10 academic points.
One bottle of Spirit Fairy Ink also costs 10 academic points.
Lin Chuan bought 2 bottles of Xuan Guang Ink and 6 bottles of Spirit Fairy Ink, and 80 academic points were gone just like that.
These academic points are really not enough to burn. It seems he needs to find ways to earn academic points. He has many resources and things to buy later.
Besides these two most important materials, there were also some other minor materials, such as book covers and binding threads. Lin Chuan bought these directly with star rock coin. Yes, star rock coin can also be used inside the Sixth Academy, and there's even a dedicated Beast Master store. However, purchasing with academic points is cheaper and more practical, and some limited and precious resources can only be purchased with academic points, such as Xuan Guang Ink and Spirit Fairy Ink, these Spirit Mark resources.
After placing orders for all the necessary materials, he just had to wait for them to be delivered, and then he could start writing, or rather, copying books.
At this point, Wan Wan's matter was temporarily concluded and set aside.
Lin Chuan took Wan Wan to the underground training room to check on Sakura's condition.
Lin Chuan's simple visual inspection earlier was not wrong.
After Wan Wan's careful observation, taking a magnifying glass and a ruler to measure Sakura.
It was confirmed that Sakura was a size larger than when she had just completed her reincarnation.
This growth rate was very unusual. In at most 3 days, Sakura would leave her juvenile stage, grow limbs, and enter the rapid growth stage of Flower Leaf Leaf.
During the rapid growth stage, with Sakura having already gone through one training session, retracing the previous path and skipping many unnecessary pitfalls, Lin Chuan believed that as long as sufficient resources were invested, Sakura would quickly return to her original level.
Wan Wan couldn't explain this situation with the knowledge she possessed, and even Old Deng's 30 years of research data on Flower Leaf Leaf couldn't explain it.
However, Lin Chuan's Beast Master talent, Reincarnation, was an unprecedented cheat-like talent in history.
Such an unreasonable situation became very reasonable under the influence of the cheat.
Wan Wan recorded various data for Sakura at this moment, intending to establish a Reincarnation archive.
Afterward, when Lin Chuan used Reincarnation to reincarnate other Spirit Beast, including herself, she would record every instance, continuously expanding this archive.
The more cases accumulated, the better they could analyze the specific situation of Lin Chuan's unprecedented, cheat-like Beast Master talent.
Subsequent additions of reincarnation auxiliary materials, control of reincarnation time, and the arrangement and allocation of resources could all be specifically planned and formulated based on this.
This would prevent situations where the team's combat power would be depleted or even collapse due to reincarnation.
While Wan Wan was conducting various tests and recording data for Sakura, the materials for copying and making books that were ordered earlier were delivered by a Spring Breeze Sparrow courier, packed in a storage bag.
After arranging today's training plan for Guoguo.
Back in the study, Lin Chuan immediately started working.
Well, he couldn't just pick up a pen and start writing, otherwise, it would be easy to make mistakes.
After all, if he wrote a wrong character with a pen, then that sheet of paper and the ink used to write on it would be wasted.
He had to first type out the e-book version on the computer, confirm that there were no typos or grammatical errors, then print it out, and finally carefully copy it character by character, not only without typos but also with neat formatting and handwriting as beautiful as possible. Only then would it be a perfect good book.
Turning on the computer, Lin Chuan pondered what the book title should be.
Was it Andersen, Grimm, uh, Lin Chuan's Complete Fairytales?
Or One Thousand and One Nights?
Alice in Wonderland?
His eyes flickered, and finally, Lin Chuan typed the four characters ""new fairytale compilation"" in the title position.
