Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 105 - Earning Extra Money

Chapter 105: Earning Extra Money

At the nameless lake.

The Foal neighed and ran around him happily, going one round after another.

Su Hao felt… dizzy.

This little horse was still young, its height did not even reach his waist.

He couldn’t ride it, of course. He had to wait until it evolved.

Su Hao looked at the information on Water Spirit Foals again.

The amount of soul power consumed during the contract was relatively higher, reaching 2.46 points.

It was also fortunate that Reverie Butterfly had provided him with more than 4 points of spare soul power, while the Flaming Cloud Crow had provided him with more than 2 points… Taking away the one point he used when contracting Little Fire Crow, he had more than enough points to contract the Water Sprite Foal.

The fact that its contract required so much soul power had nothing to do with its bloodline. The main thing was that this Water Spirit Foal had already developed to a certain degree.

It had long entered the growth stage.

Its spiritual force had exceeded 30 points.

“This Water Spirit Foal is already more than a year old.”

He thought about it carefully. It was his latest contracted sprite, but it was the oldest among the three?

When he contracted Little Fire Crow, it had just entered the growth stage and was one year old.

So, in comparison, Reverie Butterfly was the youngest?

(Butterfly Butterfly: ?? ???)

“Cough, but in terms of growth, this little guy is the most mature one.”

Ordinary sprites, after entering the growth stage, would gradually lose their potential and become pets if they did not have sufficient jade powder for nurturing.

Right now, most of the sprite performers or sprite theme parks were like this.

They could only act cute.

However, the concentration of spiritual energy in the primordial area was relatively high. The improvement of sprites was only slightly slower than nurturing them with jade powder, and it didn’t exhaust their potential.

In the future, as long as he nurtured it with higher-level jade powder, it could make up for its shortcomings.

Old Brother Zhong and Old Brother Huo had just contracted their sprites, and they had already fed high-level jade powder to their Cyclop and Small River Lobster.

“But the development of Water Spirit Foal isn’t slow at all. Perhaps it’s because of its bloodline.”

He unlocked the Basic Cultivation of Water Spirit Foal. Information flowed into his mind, and he nodded slightly.

Indeed…

The potential of second-generation sprites was generally higher than that of first-generation ones.

“However, if not for the special bloodline, as the descendant of an elite-level Horse King, the Water Spirit Foal would only be an ordinary second-generation sprite.

“Real second-generation sprites are the descendants of extraordinary and monarch rank sprites. They have pretty strong battle power almost the moment they are born, so breaking through levels is also much easier for them.”

According to the knowledge he had.

The evolution of sprites meant digging out the potential engraved in the sprite genes.

The easier a sprite evolved, the less potential one could dig out from it, and the easier it was to reach its limit.

For example, the White-Winged Moth Sprite.

But after reaching the limit, it didn’t mean that it couldn’t break through anymore, it was just that it was much more difficult.

This meant that there was no road ahead, and it had to open the way itself.

For sprites who had opened up roads, if they were to give birth to offspring, the ceiling of their descendants’ sprites would be higher than that of their own species’ sprites. This was equivalent to having a small road at the end of the main route to continue walking.

This was the case with the Water Spirit Foal.

The Water Qilin pathway was a hidden potential that hadn’t been stimulated.

It was the same for the Cloud Water Dragon Horse too.

“It’s just that the Horse King has long evolved to its final form and can’t stimulate the Water Qilin bloodline hidden in its body.”

“The sprite that ‘gave the present’ to the Horse King…I wonder how high is its level.”

That had already exceeded the knowledge Su Hao had.

After all, he contracted the descendant of the Horse King. Of course, Su Hao couldn’t just leave like that.

From his backpack, he took out some water elemental jade powder and fed it to the horses.

After staying for more than an hour, he left with the Water Spirit Foal and returned to the camp.

Cloud Water Dragon Horse looked at the little figure disappearing into the distance and snorted.

When a child is big, it can’t be kept!

He lowered his head and ate the jade powder Su Hao had left behind.

He took a bite, then another, and another big bite!

It turned grief and indignation into appetite.

…

After returning to the campsite, Su Hao communicated with the Water Spirit Foal, before crawling into the tent, falling asleep right away.

At midnight…

He was awakened.

“Neighhh ~ Neighhh ~”

Water Spirit Foal rubbed against his face.

It turned over, leaped, and stomped its horse hooves. A horse longing for the outside world was in no mood to sleep.

Su Hao sat up with dark circles under his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt a chill coming from his left side.

When he turned around, he saw Reverie Butterfly stood up. Su Hao seemed to have seen black mist rising, it was the anger from being woken up in its sleep.

“Gurgle!!!”

Its eyes lit up.

Water Spirit Foal fell down with a plop.

Instantly, it fell into deep sleep.

Having insomnia and lots of dreams? Find Reverie Butterfly — Su Hao had even thought of the advertising slogan.

The little guy continued to lie down. He reached out and pulled the small blanket over himself, covering even his head.

The Flaming Cloud Crow standing at the corner of the tent was motionless.

Nobody knew whether it was because he was on duty or because he was deep in sleep.

…

In the next few days, Su Hao completed his work seriously. At the same time, he started to arrange training for the Water Spirit Foal.

The poor Water Spirit Foal hadn’t even seen the beautiful world outside, but it was already pressed down by the strenuous training until it couldn’t breathe.

There was also the Reverie Butterfly which told it that it would have nightmares if it didn’t train properly.

So scary sobs~

I want to go home and cry!

The work was ordinary. Apart from collecting data, it was still… collecting data.

However, to Su Hao’s surprise, the extra money came right after.

At first, it was an elite-level Sprite Trainer who looked like the one who loaned his sprite to Luo Chengran the other day and failed. He approached Su Hao and asked him for a cultivation plan for a sprite that he had just contracted.

There were many Sprite Cultivators in the campsite, but the Sprite Trainer in front of him clearly had unique eyesight and discovered that he was the best one among the rest.

With this in mind, Su Hao provided a cultivation plan for the sprite that had yet to reach entry level according to the market price.

In less than two days…

Sprite Trainers came one after another.

In the beginning, it was merely to consult their newly-contracted newbie sprites. Soon, the subject of their consultation became their main force, their elite-level sprites.

The two were completely different.

The difficulty of designing a cultivation plan for an elite-level sprite was much higher than designing for a newbie sprite. Naturally, the fee standards were also different.

Other people needed to spend a few days to earn this sum of money, but he didn’t spend much time observing and analyzing them. He even had many unique cultivation methods for sprites with wood, fire, and water attributes.

He was just pretending by writing with a pen and paper.

A full set of cultivation plans was produced in two to three hours.

— Half of the time was for writing, the other half was for dawdling.

Even so, he managed to complete five big and eleven small orders in a few days.

On a certain night.

The Sprite Trainer of the Ground Wolf brought his sprite for a few kilometers training away from the camp.

He looked at the fully recovered Ground Wolf and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Who would have thought that the high school student… No, that Sprite Cultivator Su is actually so skilled, totally at the level of an experienced mid-level Sprite Cultivator, right?”

He didn’t know much about Sprite Cultivation. At first, he only looked for Su Hao to get familiar with him.

However, according to Su Hao’s suggestion regarding the use of recovery items, the recovery speed of the Ground Wolf’s injuries was nearly doubled.

Another elite Sprite Trainer also sighed and said, “If it wasn’t for the fact that I just consulted other Sprite Cultivators a while ago, I wouldn’t believe that he could complete a plan in just two to three hours. The information was the same, or even more detailed!

“It is said that Sprite Cultivator Su only needs to take a few looks to be able to analyze the state of the sprite and information on all aspects…”

“Maybe this is what you call a genius.”
