Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 76: Final Form

“What…?!”

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

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

“Err… yes.”

The 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.”

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

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

The 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!”

Chen Ping thought about it.

He actually… actually had some impression of this boy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

…

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

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

Handsome value +1+1+1…

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

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

After 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.

Not just them.

Su 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.

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

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

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

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

Perhaps…

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

Su Hao checked.

Writing 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.

Even so…

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

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

“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.”

Su Hao switched on the computer.

But he didn’t start writing his research paper.

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

[Sprite: Reverie Butterfly]

[Basic information: Wood-element, 36% growth stage]

[Contract target: Su Hao]

[Introduction: Zhuang Sheng Xiao is dreaming of butterflies, and the butterfly is dreaming of Zhuang Zhou.]

[Details: Omitted]

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

[Cultivation Plan:

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

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

…

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

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

[Unique skill training: Omitted]

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

Knock.

Expensive.

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

Although he felt that it was reasonable and logical.

It required Intelligence Points.

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

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

There was no discount at all.

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

Intelligence Points: 233

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

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

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

But saving was impossible.

With a thought, Su Hao deducted 107 Intelligence Points.

In an instant…

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

Its 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.

It was agile and graceful.

Fairy Butterfly (Wood / Illusion).

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

A sprite skilled in illusion unique skills!

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

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

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

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

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

It was difficult, but there was still time.

“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.”

Su Hao logged into his Union of Sprite Trainers account.

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

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

Su Hao chose the category.

And began to type.

“Regarding Silkworm Baby’s third evolution pathway…”

He typed 3,000 words first.

Not much.

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

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

Of 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.

The Union placed great importance on this aspect.

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

He also had to pay 800 yuan for the verification.

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

…

The next day…

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

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

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

The old man smiled embarrassedly before looking at Su Hao.

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