So for the whole night, Li Pu and the grassman were soaking by the big stone wall.

By the time the fourth batch of hammer aphids was collected, the sky was already faintly bright.

At this moment, the grassman's level had significantly increased compared to before this operation.

Grassman: LV21, Listen to the Wind

Strength: 100, F

Attribute: 10 Wood

Abilities: [Gratitude][Water Film]

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

Inscription Tool: [Wisdom Root (B+)]

After leveling up seven times in a row, its combat power officially reached three digits.

On the road to the first transition at LV30, it's already over two-thirds of the way there.

But tonight's action could only end here for the time being.

Currently, there are five known types of mutant aphids that can be farmed, with only the scythe aphid left to tackle.

As for whether there are more after the scythe aphid, that is currently unknown.

Li Pu doesn't plan to explore further for now because he's out of money.

He needs to accumulate another batch of Crystal Coins before he can continue farming these aphids.

To have cleared so many aphids in one night, it can be considered a small feat.

Because no student has ever killed so many aphids, let alone in one night.

"Alright, that's it for today."

After looking around, Li Pu proceeded to gather the scattered [Tiger Iron Bones] before heading back home.

[Grass!]

Grassman: Summoner, when we go back, Ben Cao wants to take a cola bath!

The grassman, who had worked all night, was very happy to hear this news.

It took out a bottle of cola from its body, skillfully opened it, and started gulping down.

"If you're paying, I don't mind."

Li Pu just responded perfunctorily to this guy's bold words.

Lately, this guy's ideas seemed to be getting more and more eccentric.

He could already imagine that if the grassman really took a cola bath, it would definitely drink the bathwater while bathing.

Li Pu pulled out the original [Tiger Iron Bone] from the storage space, now about the size of a fist.

The suction of this large [Tiger Iron Bone] was now so strong that it didn't need to be picked up, as the small ones would automatically fly over.

"I wonder if this weird thing is worth anything."

Li Pu had decided to visit the trading post once back home.

To see if the clerks there were familiar with this [Tiger Iron Bone], and maybe even sell it for a good price.

But if he did ask, he feared he would return disappointed.

Because no student had ever gotten such a thing from mutant aphids before.

Bang Bang Bang!

After a series of metal clash sounds, all the small [Tiger Iron Bones] were absorbed.

[Roar...]

At that moment, Li Pu suddenly heard a strange low roar from the [Tiger Iron Bone] in his hand.

What followed was a strong sensation of trembling.

Unintentionally, he let go, and the whole piece of iron fell directly to the ground.

Whoosh!

A lot of energy-like black smoke started to emerge from the [Tiger Iron Bone].

[Grass!]

Grassman: This... this is the color of cola!

The grassman was the first to exclaim.

"What's going on..."

Li Pu frowned and took a few steps back.

He felt as if something unfriendly was about to emerge.

[Roar!]

A few seconds later, the black smoke formed into shape.

What it formed was an entirely black big tiger.

The moment the big tiger emerged, it was immediately attracted to the grassman.

Because the grassman had something on it that it desired - the 10 wood magnetic field.

If not affected by the 10 wood magnetic field, the [Tiger Iron Bone] particles, usually dust-sized and hidden in the aphids, would not have appeared.

They would remain hidden, either becoming natural nutrients after aphids' death or through their excretion.

"Watch out!"

Seeing the big tiger pounce at the grassman, Li Pu rushed forward.

He had been prepared the moment the black smoke appeared.

Activating [Sprint] and hardening his fists.

He couldn't just watch his summoned creature get attacked and do nothing.

What if that big tiger was really powerful?

If the grassman got bitten to death, it would cost a revival charm.

And right now, he had no money!

With firm resolve, Li Pu rushed to the side of the black smoke tiger before the grassman could react.

Puff!

His punch went through the opponent's body without a hitch.

This thing was even more ethereal than a ghost, with no physical form at all?

[Grass?!]

The grassman, finally reacting, hadn't the time to do anything but watch as the black smoke tiger drilled into its body.

[Grass Whoa Whoa Whoa!!!]

Startled, the grassman hurriedly pawed at its body, trying to pull the black smoke tiger out.

But the weird thing was that the black smoke disappeared seemingly without a trace once inside, without causing any bad reactions.

So, after a few seconds, the grassman realized it didn't feel any pain at all.

Li Pu: "..."

Grassman: [...]

Silence, so they both fell silent, one person and one grass.

So, what exactly is going on now?

It seemed so frightening just a moment ago, and now it's gone?

Really turned out to be an anticlimax?

[Grass Grass Grass!]

But the grassman suddenly seemed to feel something and pointed to the [Tiger Iron Bone] on the ground.

"You're saying it has a problem?"

At the grassman's indication, Li Pu picked up the [Tiger Iron Bone] again.

Just holding it immediately changed his expression.

The information on this piece of junk iron had changed.

[Iron Bone (A)]

Accompanying Effect: None

Attribute Requirement: 10 Wood

Type Requirement: Listen to the Wind

Species Requirement: Plant type

From the panel information, this thing belongs to the tool category within the [Inscription Tool].

A-level, half a grade higher than the B+ ranked [Wisdom Root].

Originally, obtaining an A-level [Inscription Tool] should have made him wildly happy, but Li Pu had no such reaction.

"It's just a piece of broken rock, how is it even a tool?"

"And... an A-level one at that?"

He was quite bewildered.

The key was, according to its conditions, only the grassman could use it.

Could it be that the black tiger scene earlier was the binding ritual of the [Inscription Tool]?

To say he had never heard of an [Inscription Tool] that binds itself before.

But now that things were like this, thinking too much seemed useless.

Li Pu thought it better to figure out how to best utilize this seemingly useless A-level tool to boost the grassman's combat power.

This was a question worth pondering, so he tossed the [Iron Bone] around while pondering.

Honestly, the thing's weight was surprisingly just right.

"Here, this thing is yours from now on."

After thinking for a while, Li Pu handed the [Iron Bone] to the grassman; he already had an idea.
