Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 88 System Upgrade! [Two-in-One]

"Professor Luo, don't hit someone in the face! Our salaries aren't low!"

Upon hearing Professor Rowan's words, Detective Hao Ke immediately flew into a rage and retorted loudly.

"I didn't say anything wrong. Am I not allowed to speak the truth?"

Professor Rowan was now completely relaxed and even had the mood to banter with his old friend.

Kabai stood to the side, holding Chiyo and Oyagi, watching the two bickering, who could be a hundred years old combined.

The police station? She had never thought of that before.

Just getting into high school and then university would have required an immense amount of effort for Ge Bai a month ago.

The detectives from the Beijing-Hong Kong Police Department acted swiftly, completing the necessary documentation and evidence collection in less than half an hour.

The only problem is that the estimated amount of the theft cannot be determined.

Several agents pushed open the metal door that the beaver had gnawed open and surrounded the entrance to the spirit energy room, carefully examining the metal wall inside with flashlights.

After confirming several times, the group finally believed that what they were seeing was a complete metal wall, not another metal door.

So, they looked at Gobai with complicated expressions and reported the situation to Detective Hao Ke.

Although the Xiong brothers, Dong and Xia, did not succeed, the detectives who were at the scene needed to know the amount of money that might have been stolen, both from the perspective of convicting the brothers and facilitating their sentencing, and from the perspective of ensuring the integrity of the chain of evidence.

But what the hell is this metal wall? They really have no idea what to do with it.

"This seems to be a skill of the Golden Mud Foundation Building Beast."

One of the agents, who was quite knowledgeable, knocked on the metal wall in front of him, observed it carefully, and gave his guess.

He was right.

This afternoon, Ge Bai made this special request to the staff of the Spirit Plant Research Institute.

There were ventilation openings in the spiritual energy room, but the duct diameter was not large. Ge Bai estimated that the Xiong brothers, Xiong Dong and Xiong Xia, would still choose to break down the door to facilitate the transport of spiritual energy resources. Therefore, she asked the staff at that time if they could seal the door of the spiritual energy room with physical means.

The staff member of the Spirit Plant Research Institute happened to have contracted with a Golden Mud Foundation Building Beast, which is why there is this metal wall in front of everyone now.

Detective Hao Ke strolled leisurely to the metal wall. He hadn't noticed it at first and thought it was some kind of high-end renovation, with the door built like a wall.

He hadn't expected it to actually be a wall.

"You've got pretty good security measures in place, young lady," Detective Hao Ke said, looking at Ge Bai with a speechless expression. "So how are you going to get in by yourself? Do you need us to tear down the wall for you?"

Feeling somewhat embarrassed by the stares of everyone, Ge Bai scratched his head sheepishly.

With a sincere expression, she said, "No need, no need to tear down the wall. I'll have Chiyo teleport the people in."

Seeing that Ge Bai really intended to do this, everyone fell silent again.

Does she know how rare and precious space-type pets are? Is she using someone else's space-type spiritual plant as a teleportation portal?

"La, la!"

Chiyo, however, was unaware of her status as a rare and precious space-type spirit plant. After hearing what Ge Bai said, she consciously floated to the metal wall, swaying her leaves as she looked at the people in front of her.

Which one should I send it to? No problem, Chiyo will handle it!

In the end, several agents, including Inspector Howe, experienced the Chiyo card teleportation portal firsthand.

Very good, it emphasizes efficiency and convenience.

For the time being, Ge Bai really didn't intend to tear down this metal wall.

Oyagi and Chiyo spent all their time together without any problems. Chiyo could teleport them in and out without any inconvenience.

After the evidence collection was completed, Detective Hao Ke generously helped Ge Bai take over the task of communicating with the property management company.

"Then we'll contact the homeowner first thing tomorrow morning and come over immediately to complete the basement repairs."

The property manager of the mountainside garden had arrived early and stood aside to wait. After understanding the general situation, he sincerely apologized to Ge Bai and took the initiative to undertake the house repair work.

Whether the property management company will subsequently apply to the federal court for the two brothers, Xiong Dong and Xiong Xia, to bear corresponding civil liability after their criminal convictions is of little concern to Ge Bai.

"Then we'll be going now. Please contact me anytime if anything happens."

Detective Hao Ke waved his hand and dismissed the team, while Professor Rowan was somewhat uneasy.

It was Ge Bai who took the initiative to comfort Professor Luo Wan, repeatedly assuring him that he would be careful and would never act impulsively.

The property manager also spoke up at the right time, promising to conduct a safety inspection overnight and patrol 24 hours a day, with a focus on ensuring the safety of the area around Villa No. 16.

Professor Rowan reluctantly agreed to let Gobe continue living there.

The long day has finally come to an end.

He embraced Ooyagi and Chiyo, and didn't forget to summon Momoko as well.

Ge Bai, with the three little ones, threw himself onto the big bed in the bedroom.

She thought she would be so excited that she couldn't sleep, but she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, so much so that she didn't even hear what the Shennong System said after the "ding".

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, you have completed the system task: Defeat (repel) 100 spirit plants and spirit beasts below level one, and 10 spirit plants and spirit beasts above level one."

"The Shennong 2.7 system will begin upgrading at this moment, and the upgrade is expected to take 12 hours."

"The next system task will be released after the system upgrade."

-

The next day, his long-established biological clock caused Ge Bai to wake up precisely as soon as the sun rose.

As soon as she woke up, Da Liu shook all the branches of her body and affectionately rubbed her willow branches against Ge Bai's cheek.

"Bai Bai, you're awake. I want to go to the Spirit Energy Chamber."

Every morning before, Ge Bai would take Da Liu to the back mountain to practice meditation techniques.

Today we can finally upgrade our equipment and use the Spirit Chamber.

So even though she only slept for less than three hours last night, Da Liu was still full of energy because she was always thinking about the Spirit Power Room.

"OK."

Gobai stretched and tapped Chiyo's flower sword.

Chiyo was still fast asleep, holding Momo.

"La."

Feeling someone touch her, Chiyo impatiently shook her flower sword, turned to the side, and covered the flower sword with a leaf.

Seeing that it was amusing, Ge Bai leaned over, put his face close to Chiyo's, and whispered.

"Chiyo, are you still sleeping? Ooyagi has already started working hard. You're going to lose to him again today."

Hearing this devilish whisper, Chiyo jumped up in fright.

"Where's Da Liu? What's he practicing? I want to practice too!"

Even though Chiyo's eyes were still glazed over, she was already looking around, searching for Ooyagi's figure.

Momo, who was originally nestled in Chiyo's arms, was also thrown out and rolled far away on the big bed.

"Peach!"

Xiao Tao, who was woken up, was not happy.

Seeing Chiyo's reaction, Gobai laughed so hard he clutched his stomach and fell backward onto the bed.

Chiyo, who had finally realized what was happening, pouted and denounced Kakuba.

"Bye-bye! You're teasing me again. Da Liu just started working too! Humph!"

Ge Bai laughed until tears streamed down his face. Chiyo really didn't hide her desire to crush Dairyu at all.

Compared to Ooyuki, Chiyo's only advantage at this point is her higher spiritual power.

Seeing that Ge Bai had prepared a spiritual energy room for Da Liu, Chiyo had been very anxious these past two days, pestering Ge Bai to prepare a similar one for her as well.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ge Bai made a request: if Chiyo could train either the Chiyo Sword or Spatial Teleportation to the ultimate level, he would prepare a spatial energy chamber for her.

Chiyo reluctantly agreed.

It's not that Kaku is making things difficult for Chiyo, but from any perspective, at this stage, Chiyo should focus on honing her skills.

Otherwise, simply increasing spiritual power would just make one a weakling with slightly longer combat endurance.

Although Chiyo's two skills are rated very high, these two skills are still too few. Gobai is still thinking about how to cultivate Chiyo's new skills.

Thinking of this, Ge Bai suddenly remembered the system.

I think I heard a system notification sound before I went to bed last night.

Upon trying to access the spiritual connection system, Ge Bai was surprised to find that he could no longer log in.

There is only one mechanical prompt tone.

"Shennong 2.7 system is upgrading. Countdown to completion: 8:21:36".

Wow, the system has finally been upgraded.

I wonder what benefits this upgrade will bring.

Based on that, the system task for this period of time should have been completed.

Ge Bai counted the number of times the extraordinary realm pets had been defeated, including the previous battles and this time when he intercepted the Xiong Dong and Xiong Xia brothers.

If we include the time she knocked out the spirit-eating rat by hitting it with a stick, that makes exactly ten times!

It definitely counts. Why shouldn't stunning the Spirit-Eating Rat with a stick count as a knockback? The system didn't say it had to be a battle between pets.

Thinking of this, Ge Bai slapped his forehead. He had been too honest before and hadn't learned to exploit the loopholes in the system.

We need to improve next time.

"Chiyo, hurry up and take me to the spirit chamber!"

Seeing that Ge Bai had been laughing for a long time and then started to space out again, not even remembering to urge Qian Dai to move her space to the spirit power room, Da Liu became a little anxious.

The early bird catches the worm, and he didn't want to waste a single moment.

"All right."

Chiyo wasn't stingy either; despite the intense competition, she absolutely couldn't let Oyanagi's training be delayed.

She understands this perfectly well.

With a spatial teleportation, Da Liu disappeared from the bedroom.

After Yi Shu Yi Lan resolved her training issues, Ge Bai finally got up, albeit unsteadily.

Picking up the sulking Xiao Tao from the bed, comforting her a couple of times, and sending her back to her spiritual space, she didn't forget to send a telepathic message to Da Liu.

"We're going to school in a bit. Today's the final exam. If you get bored after you finish practicing, just go back to your spiritual space by yourself."

Yes, there are other ways to leave the sealed spiritual energy room besides using Chiyo's spatial teleportation.

Da Liu can also return directly to Ge Bai's spiritual space.

Ge Bai felt that since she made a contract with Chiyo, her understanding and application of space had become more skillful.

-

Leaving Da Liu at the villa, Ge Bai took Chiyo out.

The little orchid dangled from Ge Bai's ponytail, looking just like a hair accessory.

The graduation exam will begin at 10:00 AM, and the exam location will remain the same as the Chongming District Gongli Junior High School.

When Ge Bai arrived at school, it was already 9:30. She was still dawdling, preparing to enter the examination room just in time.

To everyone's surprise, He Leyao was waiting for her at the school gate, carrying a small bag.

"Ge Bai! Why are you so late?"

He Leyao had sharp eyes; seeing that Ge Bai was still dawdling, she rushed over and grabbed Ge Bai's arm.

This is the first time they've met since Ge Bai returned to school to fill out her college application and then climbed over the wall to leave the school.

"I know you've been really busy lately and haven't been able to message you often."

"Have you been browsing the Spirit Plant Master Forum? Your posts have been going viral lately, and I've already applied to become the moderator of the Weeping Willow section."

"The rules of the Spirit Plant Master Forum are too rigid; one person can only host one small section. But I really love the Cymbidium goeringii!"

"Bai Bai, when you have some free time later, could you call them out so I can see them? Just for a quick look!"

"Where did you buy this hair tie? Is it the same one as Xiaolanhua's? It's so pretty, give me a link!"

……

As soon as He Leyao saw Ge Bai, she started talking non-stop, and Ge Bai couldn't get a word in edgewise.

The small orchid hanging on the white horse's tail quietly used its leaves to cover its flower stalk.

This woman is so noisy, always chattering away.

Ge Bai finally found an opportunity to ask He Leyao a question.

"Have you contracted a spirit plant? What is it?"

"Sunflower".

He Leyao deftly drew a summoning circle and called out her contracted spirit plant.

A sunflower that gradually turned from orange to yellow appeared in front of He Leyao. After her body solidified, He Leyao caught her with one hand and placed the flower in front of Ge Bai.

"Isn't it beautiful? It's a sunflower with a different color, called Sky: Children of the Light."

"Positive."

The little flower looks thin and delicate, but it seems very vibrant.

As Ge Bai was trying to communicate with the spiritual system to check the sunflower's attributes, he realized he had forgotten that the system was upgrading.

However, it wasn't a big problem. He Leyao herself acted as the introducer, explaining her family's situation in the game "Skyfall" to Ge Bai in great detail.

"Although we don't have much attack power, our buffs are quite good. It would be even better if we could evolve into more complex skills in later upgrades."

The "Proliferation" skill that He Leyao mentioned is something that many single-type flower spirit plants dream of during their evolution.

Flower-type spiritual plants with the ability to multiply can not only increase their own spiritual power, but also replicate their own flowers and multiply into a vast area on their own, resulting in a geometric increase in all skill effects.

However, He Leyao was just saying it. Although the probability of the Proliferation skill appearing on single flower-type spirit plants is relatively high, this conclusion is drawn from the perspective of big data statistics, compared to other types of spirit plants.

It's not that most single-flowered spirit plants like sunflowers can evolve into multiplication skills.

Conversely, any contracted spirit plant that can evolve to possess the ability to multiply will cause quite a stir within a small area.

"Hmm, if the sunflower were to multiply, it would be quite impressive."

Ge Bai knew the probability was low, but he still tactfully echoed He Leyao, saying, "These things are hard to predict."

The two walked and talked until they arrived at the entrance of the examination hall.

"Gobai!"

Just as the two were about to enter the examination room, they heard a male voice coming from around the corner of the corridor.

Upon hearing the voice, Ge Bai frowned. Without even looking up, she could tell it was Jiang Yan.

I really don't want to talk to him.

Ge Bai glanced at him and walked straight into the examination room.

"Let's have another match after the exam."

Jiang Yan took two steps forward and shouted at Ge Bai's back.
