n“What…?!”

nMaster Chen Ping was so shocked that he dropped the document onto the ground.

nHe rushed to the wasted young man with unconventional agility and grabbed his hand. “You’re talking about Silkworm Baby’s third evolved form? Really?”

n“Err… yes.”

nThe sloppy-looking young man was shocked. He hurriedly added, “It’s a type of butterfly-shaped sprite. I heard that its development direction is headed towards mental power and illusion… It’s a sprite owned by a high school student.”

nMaster Chen Ping lowered his head and pondered. He kept analyzing in his mind as his expression became more and more agitated.

nHe looked up after a while. “Which big… Wait! You said it was a high school student?!”

nThe wasted youth nodded fervently with a bitter face. “Yes, yes, he’s a third-year high-schooler from An City First High. I heard that he even got a Sprite Cultivator license from us. His name is… Su Hao!”

nChen Ping thought about it.

nHe actually… actually had some impression of this boy.

nA new young student he took in lost to the candidate named Su Hao in the Sprite Cultivator Registration Examination.

nMaster Chen Ping was increasingly interested in Su Hao, whom he had yet to meet.

n“Go to An City and contact that student named Su Hao for me…”

nHe thought about it. “Wait, I’d better go myself.”

n“Teacher, aren’t you… still two research questions away from finishing your work?”

nBefore the young man could finish, his teacher, Chen Ping, glared at him, causing him to lose all words.

n“Is a research project more important than meeting a talented junior?”

n…

nThe Reverie Butterfly laid on Su Hao’s head as Little Fire Crow danced around it.

nThis combination attracted the attention of all young ladies no matter where Su Hao went.

nHandsome value 1 1 1…

n“What a sin, what a sin. If I get into a car accident because of this, do I need to take responsibility?”

nAlthough the attraction point was the Reverie Butterfly, it didn’t attract much special attention.

nAfter all, he was the one who received the most attention… Cough, even though Reverie Butterfly was a new form that never appeared before, for most ordinary people, it was too normal to see sprites they didn’t know of.

nNot just them.

nSu Hao’s classmates from the Sprite stream, and even Old Chen and Coach Xiong, if they hadn’t seen Silkworm Baby’s evolution with their own eyes, their first reaction after seeing the Reverie Butterfly would only have been to think that it was some very, very rare sprite.

nAfter completing the evolution, Su Hao didn’t stay around for too long and just went straight home.

nThe appearance of new forms was certainly not a small matter, but it was far from enough to cause a national sensation.

nEven though 60 years had passed since the appearance of a sprite, new sprites or new evolution pathways would still be discovered every year.

nHe, Su Hao, could still be an ordinary third-year student.

nPerhaps…

n“First, let’s do as Coach Xiong says. Publish the whole article.”

nSu Hao checked.

nWriting research papers on the evolution plan could also earn money, mainly due to the rewards from the Association of Sprite Cultivators. Compared to money, other hidden benefits were more important.

nEven so…

nHe figured out that he would be using too many uncertain terms such as “probably”, “maybe”, “possibly” in his upcoming first article.

n“But this is first-hand information, and I have the actual example of Reverie Butterfly.”

n“In the future, as long as I publish a few more ‘detailed’ articles and integrate them into a paper with sufficient points, I’ll be able to get most of the benefits.”

nSu Hao switched on the computer.

nBut he didn’t start writing his research paper.

nInstead, he took out the interface and looked at the data of Reverie Butterfly.

nSprite: Reverie Butterfly

nBasic information: Wood-element, 36% growth stage

nContract target: Su Hao

nIntroduction: Zhuang Sheng Xiao is dreaming of butterflies, and the butterfly is dreaming of Zhuang Zhou.

nDetails: Omitted

nEvolutionary pathway: (1) omitted; (2) omitted; Silkworm Baby → Dream Butterfly → Unknown (unlock with 30 Intelligence Points)

nCultivation Plan:

n(1) Basic Cultivation (Unlocked, 2 Intelligence Points Upgraded);

n(2) Speed-enhancement Cultivation (Unlocked, 4 Intelligence Points Upgraded);

n…

n(5) Spiritual Force-Enhancement Cultivation (Unlocked, 8 Intelligence Points Upgraded);

n(6) Spiritual Force-Enhancement Cultivation (unlock with 50 60 Intelligence Points);

nUnique skill training: Omitted

nSu Hao read it carefully. He only felt two feelings.

nKnock.

nExpensive.

n“After sprites evolve, the cultivation plan actually needs to be updated.”

nAlthough he felt that it was reasonable and logical.

nIt required Intelligence Points.

nHe needed a total of 77 Intelligence Points to upgrade the cultivation plans and unlock the spiritual force strengthening cultivation.

n“And the cost of unlocking Silkworm Baby’s final evolution.”

nThere was no discount at all.

nSu Hao glanced at the upper right corner of the interface.

nIntelligence Points: 233

nMost of his income came from the books in Yunhua City’s Association of Sprite Cultivators, but his expenses were also high.

nSilkworm Baby’s strength cultivation, physique cultivation, and Little Fire Crow’s full set of cultivation.

nHe wouldn’t be able to earn much Intelligence Points during the winter break.

nBut saving was impossible.

nWith a thought, Su Hao deducted 107 Intelligence Points.

nIn an instant…

nA figure appeared on the final evolution icon which was originally just a dark shadow.

nIts big eyes were as clear as water, and there were three pairs of wings with beautiful emerald green patterns on its back. Its body was even more slender, as if a butterfly dress with light yellow patterns was draped over it.

nIt was agile and graceful.

nFairy Butterfly (Wood

/ Illusion).

nThis was Silkworm Baby’s final form in its third evolution pathway.

nA sprite skilled in illusion unique skills!

nInformation rushed into Su Hao’s mind all at the same time.

n“As expected of the form unlocked with 30 Intelligence Points. The evolution difficulty is high enough.”

nMental power, multiple illusion-type unique skills, experience illusions, sufficient culture and knowledge…

n“It looks like the little rascal has to become a more cultured sprite after evolving into Reverie Butterfly.”

nIt didn’t conflict with the direction of the Reverie Butterfly Cultivation that he had expected.

nIt was difficult, but there was still time.

n“Besides, the second-stage evolution requires the Reverie Butterfly to be close to adulthood. It’s still early, there’s no point in being anxious.”

nSu Hao logged into his Union of Sprite Trainers account.

nHe found the interface where he could upload his research paper.

nIt was similar to when he uploaded the improved unique skills, just a little more complicated.

nSu Hao chose the category.

nAnd began to type.

n“Regarding Silkworm Baby’s third evolution pathway…”

nHe typed 3,000 words first.

nNot much.

nMost of the content was filled with nonsense as he drafted up a ‘valuable’ paper with a little dry content unlocked from the interface.

nIt was mainly because he was the first to do so.

nOf course, the first Reverie Butterfly was in his hands… Well, unless he really couldn’t come up with an evolution plan, he wouldn’t be able to escape the title of the greatest contributor.

nThe Union placed great importance on this aspect.

nSu Hao finished typing and waited until 11 p.m. before he uploaded the paper.

nHe also had to pay 800 yuan for the verification.

nAnd this was after the reduction of his level 2 privileges.

n…

nThe next day…

nSu Hao was prepared to make a trip to the Association of Sprite Trainers to get his new ID.

nWhen he reached downstairs, he saw an old man dressed rather “carelessly”.

nThe old man closed in with a whoosh and looked left and right at Reverie Butterfly, scaring the little rascal into hiding behind Su Hao.

nThe old man smiled embarrassedly before looking at Su Hao.

n“Little child, you look so talented. Why don’t you conduct research with me?”

n
