Chapter 223: You Call This a Normal Harvest?
After Mentor Yanshan finished speaking, he walked aside and did not interfere further.
Yun Feimo looked at Wang Che with great gratitude.
“We’re all classmates, no need to be polite,” Wang Che said. “Just be more careful in the future.”
It wasn’t really their fault for being fooled.
That Brother Nan’s acting was quite good; he really seemed like someone who scolded them verbally but actually wanted to help them.
However, his final little trick.
did not escape Wang Che’s observation.
To put it plainly, that Brother Nan still wanted Yun Feimo and the other students to truly suffer a bit, not just receive a simple verbal scolding.
“When I become stronger in the future, I will definitely catch those guys and give them a good beating!”
Yun Feimo said angrily.
“Brother Che, you have so much experience. Do you have any way to help us get back at them?”
Kong Shijin asked.
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they looked at Wang Che with anticipation.
Wang Che thought for a moment, then said with a smile,
“There is a way, and it’s not difficult.”
“Brother Che, what do you mean?” Kong Shijin immediately became excited. “Can you explain in detail?”
“Classmate Wang, are you planning to take action? But their Soul Pets are quite strong,” Yun Feimo said worriedly. “Forget it, don’t fight recklessly in the wild.”
They could also tell that the other side was very powerful.
“Not exactly,” Wang Che said. “Why would I take action… In a place like the wild, there are ten thousand ways to teach someone a lesson.”
“They wanted to teach you a lesson, and you can teach them a lesson in return.”
“They are a club. They came to Jade Moon Lake naturally to collect materials. That Life-Gambling Bee has nearly two thousand years of Soul Power Cultivation. After the Fate-Playing Bee evolves into a Life-Gambling Bee, normal cultivation evolution no longer exists.”
“But there is also Martial Soul Evolution. After a Life-Gambling Bee consumes certain materials and combines them with the power of the Martial Soul, there is a chance for it to undergo a Martial Soul mutation evolution and evolve into a Death-Dealing Venombee.”
“This is a Supreme Soul Pet, quite powerful. In one-on-one Soul Pet Battles, few opponents can defeat it solo.”
Martial Soul Evolution was another type of evolution for Soul Pets.
It was different from normal cultivation evolution based on years.
Martial Soul Evolution required very strict conditions and followed different paths.
Currently, the forefront of the Soul Pet world is researching Martial Soul Evolution.
The Spirit-Tongued Insect King that Wang Che initially knew about belonged to this category.
For example, the Bamboo Bear’s several evolution forms—Thunder, Aura Harmony, Diamond, and the newly appeared Mountain-Hugging Bamboo Bear—
all belonged to special forms of Martial Soul Evolution.
This kind of evolution often required the Soul Pet to consume some special materials and have high compatibility with the Soul Pact Master’s Martial Soul.
Only then was there a chance for successful evolution.
Most students knew very little about Martial Soul Evolution.
“That Life-Gambling Bee is most likely trying to evolve into a Death-Dealing Venombee. One of the materials required for its evolution is the Toxic Treasure secreted by the Toxic Foam Frog. That is an even more potent toxin.”
“So, that group is definitely looking for the Toxic Foam Frog’s Toxic Treasure.”
“Naturally, they wouldn’t care about the Melon Toxic Frog’s Toxic Treasure.”
After Wang Che finished speaking.
Everyone suddenly understood.
Toxic Foam Frogs were not easy to find.
Wild Soul Beasts had a hard time evolving.
So far, they hadn’t seen a single Toxic Foam Frog.
As for the Giant Swamp Poison Frog, they hadn’t even glimpsed one.
“So, as long as we find the Toxic Foam Frog first and collect its Toxic Treasure, that will work?”
Kong Shijin immediately understood. “That would make them furious!”
“This method is great!”
Yun Feimo’s mind cleared up. “Let’s go, let’s go find the Toxic Foam Frog!”
Everyone’s eyes also lit up, and they were about to take action.
Wang Che thought to himself, after all, they were students, still quite impulsive.
They couldn’t stand provocation.
Well, they were all students, full of vigor and youthful spirit.
Who wasn’t a passionate and somewhat reckless youth back in the day?
So what if they were freshmen? Did being freshmen mean they had to be taught lessons and bullied by others?
That was probably their line of thinking.
“Wait, what I meant wasn’t for you to go get the Toxic Foam Frog’s Toxic Treasure.”
Wang Che explained. “Never mind whether the Toxic Foam Frog is easy to find or not. Even if you find one, it won’t be easy to collect from it. A Toxic Foam Frog that can evolve has at least a thousand years of Soul Power Cultivation. It’s too dangerous. You simply can’t obtain the Toxic Foam Frog’s Toxic Treasure.”
“What I meant was, let them do the collecting. You just need to give them a taste of their own medicine.”
“There’s no need for you to get directly involved.”
Everyone understood again and immediately looked at Wang Che.
He had a trick up his sleeve!
“The specific method is up to you,” Wang Che said. “I need to go collect some Toxic Treasure. This time, don’t be too reckless. You must seize the right moment. It’s best to make use of all your respective Soul Pets.”
“For example, you need to find the Toxic Swamp Frog first, then wait for the right moment. The other side will also put in some effort to collect the Toxic Foam Frog’s Toxic Treasure; they will surely be very cautious.”
“If you fail, it doesn’t matter. After all, you weren’t the ones doing the collecting; just come back.”
…
Wang Che gave a simple explanation.
Many classmates immediately got excited and began assigning tasks among themselves, planning to give it a try.
Some classmates had already obtained their Toxic Treasure. Under Wang Che’s guidance, others had also obtained theirs through various training exercises.
Now they were just bored with nothing to do.
They immediately started searching around Jade Moon Lake for the Toxic Foam Frog.
Wang Che planned to collect some Toxic Treasure first.
This thing was indeed quite useful. After processing, it could be used as fertilizer for Soul Plants, and it was also a rare material for the evolution of many Soul Pets.
It could also be used for making medicine, preparing medicinal meals, and so on.
“If I refine this thing and make special snacks for Little Caterpillar to eat, it should allow the silk threads and the mucus on the insect net it spits out to carry a certain level of toxicity.”
Wang Che pondered. “However, the Melon Toxic Frog’s Toxic Treasure has too little effect. It would only have a slight effect after long-term use. The Toxic Foam Frog’s is just average too. If it were the Giant Swamp Poison Frog’s accompanying Poison Crystal, just one piece would have a significant effect.”
The Giant Swamp Poison Frog had an accompanying Giant Swamp Poison Crystal.
That was truly very rare and special material.
If Toxic Treasure was blue quality, then Poison Crystal was a golden quality material.
Obtaining this material was very difficult.
Just finding the Giant Swamp Poison Frog alone was impossible.
Mentor Yanshan said that it had been many years since anyone saw a Giant Swamp Poison Frog at Jade Moon Lake.
This was quite normal.
For a wild Soul Pet to complete a Third Stage Evolution, it had to be a long-lived Toxic Foam Frog.
And even then, it might not evolve into a Giant Swamp Poison Frog.
“Forget it, let’s collect some Toxic Treasure to refine and test.”
Wang Che thought for a moment and released Green Caterpillar.
“Today’s task is still to practice the Art of Object Manipulation.”
Wang Che pointed at the Melon Toxic Frogs on the lotus leaves. “Spit out your Silk Thread and use the Art of Object Manipulation to wrap the crystals behind those Melon Toxic Frogs. It’s a bit tricky because of the distance.”
Green Caterpillar nodded. After two days of practice, its proficiency in the Art of Object Manipulation had become quite high in the Dream Space.
Now was a good time to practice for real.
Green Caterpillar spat out a slender Silk Thread, about forty to fifty meters long. Once it left Green Caterpillar’s mouth, it flew through the air like a flowing ribbon.
It accurately wrapped around a Toxic Treasure on one of the lotus leaves.
Quietly, it pulled the Toxic Treasure out from behind a napping Melon Toxic Frog.
The process went very smoothly, especially since the other students weren’t around—they had all gone off to cause some trouble.
Otherwise, they would definitely have been amazed.
They might have even suspected that Green Caterpillar was a Psychic-Type Spirit Pet.
“Well done.”
“Let’s collect a bit more.”
“A few dozen pieces of Toxic Treasure will be enough, that should be sufficient for refining.”
Wang Che said.
Green Caterpillar nodded. It also wanted to show off its Art of Object Manipulation.
So, under Little Caterpillar’s increasingly skillful control, more and more Toxic Treasure collected around it.
Soon, the pile almost looked like a small hill.
“That should be enough.”
Wang Che nodded. “We’ve probably collected all the Toxic Treasure around these Melon Toxic Frogs. Hmm… I hope the Melon Toxic Frogs won’t be too upset when they wake up.”
“Ssu wu ssu wu!”
Green Caterpillar felt a little embarrassed. It looked at the still sleeping Melon Toxic Frogs and bowed to them.
“Wang Che, what did you say to the other students just now? What are they doing… Hey? Why is there so much Toxic Treasure here?”
At that moment, Mentor Yanshan walked over. Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the pile of Toxic Treasure in front of Green Caterpillar.
He was completely stunned.
Wow, did they raid a Melon Toxic Frog nest?
How did they get so much?
“You… how did you get all this?”
Yanshan couldn’t help but look at Green Caterpillar.
He had sensed that Yun Feimo and the other students had scattered and were wandering around, not sure what they were up to.
A little curious, he went to check on them.
After observing for a while, he vaguely understood what the students were planning. He didn’t stop them; in fact, he felt somewhat pleased…
But then he thought, Yun Feimo and the others were still too inexperienced to come up with something like this on their own.
Someone must have given them the idea, and the only one with the ability and experience for that was Wang Che.
But Wang Che didn’t seem to be with them.
So he came back to ask about it.
“Just collected it normally.”
Wang Che said.
“You call this normal collection?”
Yanshan pointed at the pile of Toxic Treasure, feeling a slight tingle on his scalp.
How long had it been?
To collect this much Toxic Treasure—even if he tried himself, without disturbing the Melon Toxic Frogs, he might not have been able to do it this fast.
“Well, it’s not like I could ask the Melon Toxic Frogs to bring it to me themselves, right?”
Wang Che said with a laugh. “The plan was my idea. They wanted to get back at the others. I just gave them a suggestion. Do you think I did something wrong, Mentor Yanshan?”
“Wrong? Not exactly.”
Mentor Yanshan looked at Wang Che with some admiration. “In the eyes of many Soul Pact Masters, we Agricultural Soul Masters are seen as an easy target. So if we act afraid, that impression just gets stronger. Before Principal Gu became the principal, Forest Sea Academy didn’t have activity classes until the second semester of the first year. Later, Principal Gu decided activity classes were too important, so he arranged them right from the start of the school year.”
“It was so students could gain more field experience during activity classes.”
“However, they might not succeed.”
“That’s hard to say.” Wang Che said. “I think they probably will succeed. That Brother Nan and his group seem cautious, but they don’t really take our classmates seriously. Given their level of cleverness, it’s hard for them to imagine that freshmen like Yun Feimo would dare to plot against them.”
“And using the same method, too. Since they won’t expect it, there’s a chance of success. Even though they’re much stronger than Yun Feimo and the others.”
“They aren’t some sly, veteran Professional Soul Contractors. At most, they’re just students with a year or two more experience than Yun Feimo’s group.”
After listening to Wang Che… Yanshan thought for a few seconds and felt that made sense.
“After hearing you say that, I’m curious now…”
“Come with me to take a look.”
