When Li Pu walked out of Mr. Tu's office, he was a bit dazed.

Because what the other party gave was just too much.

20,000, a full 20,000 Crystal Coins.

Moreover, after his shameless persistence, oh no wait, relentless persuasion, Mr. Tu agreed to pay 10,000 first.

After the job is done, the other 10,000 will be paid.

Besides this 10,000, there was another big surprise.

That is, what he casually asked for actually happened.

According to Mr. Tu, the little blue bird does indeed shed feathers periodically.

And Mr. Tu has already been collecting these fallen feathers because they come from an A-level magical beast.

Even in the juvenile stage, they are quite valuable.

Li Pu didn't actually want much, just 6/100 of a feather, and he only needed 17 of them.

Mr. Tu was very generous and immediately counted out enough to give to Li Pu.

However, as a condition, all materials collected later from the small elemental world by Li Pu must belong to Mr. Tu.

Li Pu agreed to this condition without hesitation.

Because even if he found A-level materials in the small elemental world, he wouldn't be at a loss.

He had truly acquired an A-level skill, matching the highest record of Tai Chi Snail [Snail Secret Technique] in rank.

More importantly, the freshly obtained 10,000 Crystal Coins were just enough to fuse skills.

Yes, Li Pu didn't plan to let the scarecrow acquire [Strong Ice Body].

There are two reasons.

First, the learning cost of this skill is incredibly high.

It has reached as much as 100,000 Crystal Coins.

He is already carrying the 500,000 dream of "Godzilla's Power" and doesn't want to add new burdens before it's realized.

Secondly, considering the quantity and combination of the scarecrow's skills.

Through indirect questioning, he learned from Mr. Tu the specific effect and role of [Strong Ice Body].

It's basically just a fancy form of long-range attack, releasing an ice-sculpted little blue bird to perform a shooting-style collision at the target.

This attack mode fundamentally conflicts with [Small Fireball].

So it's better to just fuse these two skills directly.

And in the preview results, the highest compatibility with [Strong Ice Body] was [Small Fireball].

[Snail Grass] + [Strong Ice Body] = [Snail Grass Ice]

Changing the original strike mode, releasing a leisurely ice sculpture replica

It's uncertain whether in the scorching sun, it might melt before reaching the enemy.

[Entangle] + [Strong Ice Body] = [Entangle Ice]

On top of the original vines, additionally releasing an ice-sculpted vine.

The scarecrow already strengthened, can perform multi-target entanglement, the additional ice vine doesn't feel very meaningful.

[Will Antibody] + [Strong Ice Body] = [Strong Ice Body]

The fusion result of these two skills is the strangest.

Transforming from passive immunity to fear/mushroom poison, to releasing an ice sculpture immune to fear/mushroom poison.

That is to say, with the fusion, the scarecrow would lose its original immunity effect, which would transfer to the ice sculpture.

Not only strange but also useless.

Moreover, [Will Antibody] is a very useful passive skill for Li Pu with [Imitation], so there's no way it can be fused recklessly.

So in the end, the actual target available is only [Small Fireball].

[Small Fireball] + [Strong Ice Body] = [Small Fireball]

Li Pu didn't know why the words "Small Fireball" were so stubborn, but from the effect, it's still acceptable.

[LV1-Small Fireball (E+→C)]: Releases a controllable Nether Blue Flame for attack

Nether Blue Flame, just hearing the name sounds cool, its power definitely surpasses before.

It seems to be the original fire attribute mixed with ice attribute, creating some special effects.

The most crucial part is, the fusion cost of [Strong Ice Body] is much cheaper than the acquisition cost, only a full 10,000.

And right in his hands, he happened to have a warm 10,000 Crystal Coins.

So with the scarecrow, he found a secluded place.

Learning from the last lesson, he chose a very open place this time.

It was just an ordinary muddy ground, without any trees or flowers around.

[Grass!]

Scarecrow: Summoner, you've brought me to such a secluded place again!

Scarecrow: Let's get started!

The scarecrow, having some premonition, appeared very excited.

Every time at such a moment, it felt like a real winner among grasses.

I bet there's no other grass like it, getting stronger just by drinking cola.

Buzz…

Following a tremor, the blue bird feathers in Li Pu's hand vanished.

He was already familiar with this kind of operation, so he immediately opened the scarecrow's panel.

Scarecrow: LV14, Listening to the Wind

Strength: 69→79, F

Attributes: 10 Wood

Abilities: [Gratitude] [Water Film]

Skills: [LV1 Snail Grass (C)] [LV1 Entangle (F)] [LV1 Will Antibody (D)] [LV1 Small Fireball (E+→C)]

Device: [Insightful Root (B+)]

Combat power increased quite a bit, worthy of celebration.

And thankfully, [Small Fireball] only ascended to C-level, because if it were any higher, the effect of [Water Film] wouldn't protect the scarecrow from self-ignition.

The next step is to let the scarecrow demonstrate the power of the new skill.

[Grass!]

[Eat groove eat groove eat groove…]

The scarecrow responded and began to rub its hands together.

Soon, a wisp of nether blue flame sparked between its hands.

The more the flame gathered, the bigger it grew, yet Li Pu noticed something was off.

Previously when the scarecrow cast [Small Fireball], one could feel a noticeable temperature rise around.

But this time, not only was there no increase in temperature, there was even a... chill?

As he was pondering, the size of the fireball was complete and began to form its shape.

Perhaps due to the upgraded skill level, the time the scarecrow took was much shorter than ever before.

However, when a plump, blue fireball flew out, Li Pu was dumbfounded.

This time's [Small Fireball] retained the previous two-wing characteristic while also preserving the replica feature.

At first glance, he thought it was a replica of the little blue bird.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be a chibi scarecrow, with its hands replaced by wings.

If not for the nether blue flames burning and surging at its edges attesting to its fiery, non-physical nature, he might have suspected it was the illegitimate child of the scarecrow and little blue bird.

[Grass chirp bang!]

After circling the scarecrow once, the blue little grass bird landed on the scarecrow's head.

Even its chirping was a blend of the scarecrow and little blue bird.

"Uh..."

Faced with such a scene, Li Pu was at a loss for words.
