Chapter 15: New Pseudo-Native Skill: [Leap]
As we all know, people are not inherently superior or inferior, but they are divided into different classes, and this has been the case since ancient times.
Beastmasters and their pets are not immune to this age-old principle. The weakness of pets has established the mediocre position of spirit plant-type beastmasters. They can't go to the front line, nor can they defend the rear. They are caught between beastmasters and ordinary people, in an extremely awkward situation.
That's why countless predecessors in the spirit plant-based beast taming circle have devoted themselves to scientific research, all in order to forge a path that belongs to them.
Shedding the label of being a "vegetarian" is the lifelong dream of every plant-based beast tamer.
Tang Xinyi's mentor, Liu Bochuan, was one of the pioneers who dedicated themselves to this cause, and she was his successor. Therefore, when she heard Jiang Xiaoran say the words "successful cross-species education skills", Tang Xinyi's emotions were immediately stirred.
They are far too sensitive to these words.
Has the research on the cross-species nurturing skills of free-range mushrooms yielded successful results?
Upon hearing this news, Tang Xinyi was several times more excited than Jiang Xiaoran: "Xiaoran, who told you this?"
If it were just a single plant-type pet that achieved something, Tang Xinyi might not have lost her composure like this.
But if it's a free-growing mushroom, then it's a different story.
Jiang Xiaoran was stunned by Tang Xinyi's attitude.
"Senior, don't you even know?"
This time, it was Jiang Xiaoran's turn to be greatly surprised.
"I haven't received any news." Tang Xinyi shook her head. Could it be that her mentor has made a breakthrough but hasn't had time to tell her yet?
She looked at Jiang Xiaoran: "Xiaoran, where did you get this information?"
"I saw it with my own eyes... I guess you could say I saw it with my own eyes." Jiang Xiaoran said, taking out the video that Jiang Baoguo had sent her and showing it to Tang Xinyi.
As the video played further, Tang Xinyi and Cheng Jiaqi soon showed the same expression as Jiang Xiaoran on their stunningly beautiful faces.
Tang Xinyi was more shocked: "Lin Yi? How could it be him?"
As one of the participants in the Ground Mushroom project, Tang Xinyi immediately recognized the pet skill used by the Ground Mushroom as the signature ability of the Sword Spirit Grass.
She only gave that freshman a few days to write this skills paper. Could it be that he had already been researching this skills teaching method before that?
That's not very realistic; it's too far-fetched for a freshman.
"Could it be Old Liu?"
Recalling Lin Yi's firm attitude and words on the day he applied for the school subsidy, Tang Xinyi felt that it was not impossible. Perhaps the tutor had really made some discovery and reached some kind of deal with Lin Yi, which was why the other party had no choice but to choose to go to the ground mushroom.
With that in mind, Tang Xinyi immediately dialed Liu Bochuan's number.
Upon hearing that a ground mushroom had used a Blade Spirit Herbaceous Clan skill, Liu Bochuan was also surprised and shocked. His first reaction was to question the authenticity of the matter.
"Teacher, you didn't know either?" Tang Xinyi was stunned.
Good heavens, could it be that kid's own discovery of cross-species education?
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xinyi's already complicated feelings became even more complicated.
"Senior, you keep talking about Lin Yi, who is this Lin Yi?"
Cheng Jiaqi finally found an opportunity to chime in. Even she knew a little about the Mushroom, since her good friend Jiang Xiaoran had a contract with one.
Breakthroughs have been made in cross-species research on free-range mushrooms, and every plant-based beast tamer understands what this means.
Tang Xinyi calmed down and looked at the two girls, saying, "He is a student in my class."
Tang Xinyi was clearly a little uneasy when she said this.
Although they were nominally my students, we only met two or three times. The time we met most was at the cafeteria entrance.
"Senior, you should contact Lin Yi right away. This might be another turning point for the spirit plant-type beast tamers," Jiang Xiaoran reminded her.
"I'll call him right away and ask him to come to my office."
Tang Xinyi nodded upon hearing this. The teacher had just said on the phone that he wanted to come over in person, and contacting Lin Yi was the most urgent matter.
But as soon as Tang Xinyi picked up her phone, she looked embarrassed: "Um... I don't think I have his number in my contacts."
Jiang Xiaoran: ? ? ?
Cheng Jiaqi: ? ? ?
Aren't you his homeroom teacher?
"It's okay, it's in the class group's notes, let me look for it."
Tang Xinyi covered up her embarrassment and quickly found the string of numbers at the end of the name in the group and dialed it directly.
However, the ringtone lasted only three seconds before a series of beeping sounds came through.
Jiang Xiaoran and Cheng Jiaqi blinked their beautiful eyes and looked at Tang Xinyi together.
Tang Xinyi: "Fine, he even dared to hang up on me. He's got some nerve."
"Senior, do you think it's possible that you're not listed in his phone's contact list?"
Tang Xinyi: "..."
……
At the same time.
The back mountain of Tiannan Beast Taming University.
In a secluded grove of lush trees.
Lin Yi, who was teaching the mushroom cub new skills, hung up the call that was displayed as an unknown number. He put down his phone and looked at the little Puji in front of him.
"Little mushroom, don't let your mind be disturbed. Never answer a call from an unknown number, and never eat food given to you by a stranger."
Before Lin Yi could finish speaking, the bell rang again.
He frowned, thought for a moment, and then immediately pressed the answer button.
"Stop hitting me! I don't need a beast-taming loan, and I won't buy pet insurance. If you keep hitting me, I won't be polite."
Without giving the other person a chance to speak, he slammed down the hang-up button!
He had received these harassing calls countless times, asking if he needed a pet loan or wanted to buy pet insurance. They bombarded his brain regardless of the time or place. Since then, Lin Yi has never answered any more calls from strangers.
But the other party always has a persistent determination to contact you. Even if you block their number, they will call you again with another number. Only if you can give a clear answer can you be removed from their backup list.
To prevent further harassment, Lin Yi simply turned off his phone.
Fifteen minutes later.
[Contracted Beast Pet: Ground Mushroom]
【Attribute: Wood】
[Race Rank: Low-level Transcendent]
[Current pseudo-native skills: Grass Sword Technique Beginner Level (86/100), Leap Technique Beginner Level (12/100)...]
……
With the help of the cheat code, as expected, the second new skill was perfectly taught, and the skill also directly entered the 'beginner' stage.
New skill – [Leap]!
This is a skill that Lin Yi carefully selected for the little guy.
To date, he has 'copied' a total of six pet skills. Of the five skills Tang Xinyi gave him, only [Grass Sword Technique] and [Triple Absorption] are usable. Lin Yi doesn't care about the other three. The reason he 'copied' them in the first place was simply to improve his proficiency in using the cheat system.
The skill [Leap] is a new skill that Lin Yi found at Jiang Baoguo's place. It is a skill that his [Flea Beast Pet] awakened after evolution.
"In terms of jumping ability alone, if we're talking about jumping ability at the same evolution level, the Flea Beast is undoubtedly number one, and no other beast would dare to claim second place, right?"
Lin Yi was very satisfied with this skill. He also had some understanding of the pet [Flea]. The most terrifying aspect of this skill was its leaping ability.
The skill paper that Lin Yi obtained also contained a relevant description: the flea beast's native skill, [Leap], allows it to leap to a height of 150 to 500 times its own height.
If we translate that to a person, assuming someone is 1.8 meters tall, 500 times that is 900 meters, which is roughly the height of a 300-story building.
If we convert that to the little guy's height, at 18 centimeters, that's about the height of a 30-story building.
Of course, this calculation is not possible in practice, but based on the calculation of the Flea Beast's own skills, when this skill reaches the "beginner level", it can exert one-tenth of the vertical leap.
"If you factor that into the height of the mushroom, it would be at least ten stories high, right?"
Even if it's not ten stories high, it should at least be... three stories tall.
Lin Yi chose the skill of teaching mushrooms because he wanted to make the best of his own situation. His own little guy was only 18 centimeters long at most.
In terms of size, the ground mushroom is still at a disadvantage. Its short legs ultimately limit its mobility. Although the mushroom cub has the pet skill [Grass Sword Technique], it's useless if it can't jump.
Having a sword in hand isn't ruthless; the real skill is being able to strike the enemy with that sword at the crucial moment.
In the early stages of evolution, [Leap] is the skill that Lin Yi gave to the little guy. With this skill, the [Grass Sword Technique] will be even more powerful.
"Mushroom baby".
After finishing his instruction, Lin Yi let out a soft chuckle.
Mushroom Boy: (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ Mm, I understand
The little guy immediately shouldered the Cold String Sword, walked forward about half a meter, and stopped.
Mushroom Boy: (˶'ᵕ'˶) Looking up at the sky
Under Lin Yi's expectant gaze, the little mushroom bent its short legs slightly, pushed off the ground, and its body leaped up, shooting upwards.
"So fast!"
However, the cool moment lasted only three seconds before a muffled thud was heard, and the mushroom cap made intimate contact with the horizontal tree trunk, which was about the thickness of a bowl.
Hmm... that's fast enough.
It goes up fast, but comes down even faster.
As a few leaves drifted down, the mushroom fell flat on its back onto the ground, bouncing back and forth several times upon landing.
Mushroom: (×_×) Wow~ So many little stars!
Lin Yi stood there, stunned, blinking: ? ? ?
