《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 81: Two Unique Mirage Arts
Advertisement
The next day…
Early in the morning…
Su Hao had just woke up when he heard tapping sounds coming from outside the window.
He quivered and turned to look. He saw a streamlined sprite with white feathers, several times larger than a pigeon, standing outside the window.
It knocked on the glass window with its beak.
It was a sprite, a mission bird, a courier for the Union.
It carried a sizable satchel on its back. When it saw Su Hao turning to look at it, it made two "coo" sounds.
Su Hao had just woke up and was still a little confused.
But Reverie Butterfly had already flown over and pushed open the window.
It said, "Gurgle, gurgle ~"
Mission Bird: "Cuckoo?"
Reverie Butterfly nodded. "Gurgle!"
This mission bird skillfully opened the satchel and took out a delivery box.
"Gurgle ~ (Please enter the password to confirm)"
The little rascal recalled the password number Su Hao filled in yesterday.
Its little hand pressed the buttons on the box, giving off beep sounds.
Very soon.
A parcel was delivered.
It opened with a click.
After completing the mission, the mission bird prepared to leave.
At this moment…
Reverie Butterfly took out a box of jade powder from the bookshelf beside it.
"Gurgle, gurgle."
"Coo? Coo, coo!"
The mission bird happily ate the jade powder. It left after circling twice outside the window.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the horizon.
Su Hao watched the whole process.
Well, it seemed like there was nothing for him to do. He might as well go back to sleep.
...
The Heart of Secondary Fire Attribute was a charcoal fragment the size of a fingernail, emitting red light.
The appearance of the Flaming Feather was a fiery red feather, about the length of a palm. Su Hao didn't feel any scorching energy from it.
The Stone of Illusion looked even more ordinary.
"But these three items alone are worth more than 10 million!"
In big cities like Yunhua, one could buy a house with that money.
If it was in An City, one could buy three to five to seven houses!

"No wonder Sprite Trainers are all rich, but the speed of spending money is also very fast."
Little Fire Crow stared fixedly at the charcoal shard. After it received permission, it swallowed it in one gulp.
On its forehead, the cluster of fiery red feathers lit up, like flames burning.
The red light spread across his body and covered its black feathers with a layer of light red, making them look totally different.
In Su Hao's eyes…
Little Fire Crow's spiritual force was increasing.
Starting from 153, it increased to 175 and only slowed down to stop at 179.
There was still quite a distance to 200 points.
But what the Heart of Secondary Attributes brought to the sprite was mainly an increase in potential.
Spiritual force was just a side effect.
The earlier he used it, the better effects it would bring.
After swallowing the broken piece of charcoal, Little Fire Crow's speed of improvement would be even faster.
Flaming Feathers needed to be worn for a long time. Su Hao planned to make it into a pendant and hang it on Little Fire Crow.
At this moment…
Reverie Butterfly was already playing with the Illusion Stone, lying on the table like it was taking a nap.
Su Hao couldn't help but poke it. It wasn't as fat as before, but it still felt fleshy.
Not bad.
After a long time, it opened its eyes.
"Gurgle, gurgle~~"
"A maze-like illusion? Not very creative?"
Su Hao was speechless.
At any rate, this was an illusion built by an extraordinary-level sprite. Little rascal, you've gotten too arrogant.
He then asked, "You've practiced Dream-building for so many days, you should be familiar with it, right?"
Su Hao unlocked the corresponding training methods for Reverie Butterfly, but illusions were things that couldn't be seen or touched. It was very difficult for him to judge based on the actual situation.
"If you're familiar with it, well… pull me into the dream space you have built to take a look."
He added, "Just construct ordinary dreamscape scenes, like the maze just now."
He added again, "Wait for me to lie down first."

Su Hao laid on the bed.
An indescribable power enveloped him.
Soon, he fell asleep.
His last thought was… He wouldn't have to worry about insomnia anymore!
...
In the gray space, Su Hao walked forward mechanically in his pajamas.
After taking a few steps, he was stunned, before vaguely remembering that he… should be in the dream constructed by Reverie Butterfly.
His current state felt like a particularly tired person, forcing himself to pull himself together.
"But if it's an entry-level sprite, it can definitely stay awake in the dream."
Su Hao looked around.
The dream realm was very simple and crude.
Or rather, it was fake.
It was like a small game with insufficient funds, easy production, and incomplete stickers.
It was obvious at a glance that it was an illusion.
He was in a sealed corridor, surrounded by crooked stone walls. After a few steps, a fork appeared in front of him, and he randomly chose one direction to walk towards.
Forks, dead ends, back roads, forks, dead ends…
"It seems like there's no exit?"
This maze was very small, and the workmanship was rough. He could easily tell where he was going.
Then, he slapped his head.
No rule stated that there had to be an exit for the Illusionary Maze.
He thought for a moment and punched the stone wall. When he approached the wall, he instinctively withdrew 30 to 40 to 70 to 80 percent of his strength. In the end, he hit the stone wall. The feeling was unreal.
But...
He couldn't punch through it.
"Alright, alright."
He shouted.
Light appeared in front of his eyes, and the drowsiness feeling immediately dispelled. Su Hao sat up from the bed in a flash.
"Gurgle, gurgle?" Reverie Butterfly's widened his big, expectant eyes.
Su Hao pondered for a moment. "It isn't great."
Reverie Butterfly: "(O _ O)?"
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
"You're saying that… you've already restored 80 to 90% of the maze inside the Stone of Illusion?"
Erm...
Su Hao pondered.
No wonder the Stone of Illusion wasn't too valuable.
But...
The same illusion could trap enemies with extraordinary-level sprites, but definitely not Reverie Butterfly.
The intensity was different.
It was best to start with precision.
Su Hao didn't know what the other Sprite Trainers were thinking, but an illusion, how could it be called an illusion if it wasn't realistic?
"For now, I can't use Reverie Butterfly's Dream-building ability in a battle…"
The dream realm was not stable enough.
It was harder to pull the enemy into the dream realm.
However, Dream-building could be done in many ways. It had unlimited potential, and he definitely needed to spend time on Dream-building practice.
"Other defects can be complemented with other illusion unique skills. After all, the interface said so."
He opened the unique skill of the Thousand Internet Search.
What greeted his eyes were all search results related to games.
In the Thousand Network, let alone finding the training method for illusion-type unique skills, not even a name could be found!
Ordinary Sprite Trainers wouldn't even be able to name a few unique skills of the illusion type!
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
He could only open the Union's shopping center and search inside the unique skills section.
He found a few.
"Dream of Bubbles": A huge bubble is produced. Whoever is hit will fall asleep.
"Eye of Nightmare": When eyes are met, the opponent is pulled into an illusion.
"Eclipse of the Dream": Erode the dream, increasing the damage caused by the dream.
...
They were all advanced unique skills.
There was no beginner-level illusion… The simplest was probably "Stunning".
If Su Hao wanted to let Reverie Butterfly learn the skills, he would have to buy relevant training methods at the Union's shopping center.
Only then could he trigger the unlocking mechanism of the interface.
"Anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem, the problems are Intelligence Points and Reverie Butterfly's learning time…"
One and two were unique skills with similar effects.
Su Hao thought for a while and finally decided to buy "Eye of Nightmare" and "Dream Eclipse".
Deduct money!
Download!
Browsing!
He opened the interface!
It was all done in one go.
[Eye of Nightmare: Unlock with 9 (15) Intelligence Points]
(Note: Unlock costs 15 points, 3 points deducted from the personal training experience of others, 3 points deducted from the outstanding talent of Reverie Butterfly.)
[Dream Erosion: Unlock with 10 (15) Intelligence Points]
