《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 115: The Attribute of Reverie Butterfly (Happy Chinese New Year Eve~)
Advertisement
Su Hao looked at the messy training field in front of him and fell into silence.
He only dared to try the combination move after he opened an advanced training room.
Flaming Cloud Crow fused with Flaming Storm, Reverie Butterfly added with fuel to cast illusion.
The combination move was at most only half used.
He didn't dare to continue trying.
"Sigh, why is the quality of the training room so poor!"
It wasn't easy for him to become an intermediate-level Sprite Cultivator. Every month's free training session was very long, but he suddenly realized that he didn't need it anymore.
No wonder there were so few elite-level Sprite Trainers in An City!
He wasn't an elite yet.
Because Reverie Butterfly hadn't broken through.
A few months ago, in the primordial area of the Changbai Mountains, the basic attributes of the Reverie Butterfly were already very close, even comparable to the peak of entry level.
But in fact…
At that time, the little rascal's spiritual force was only 500-odd. It was just that its spiritual force had been compressed multiple times, so the power of the unique skill used was not inferior to an ordinary peak entry-level.
Physique… He had a special cultivation plan that allowed the little rascal to be the king among the weaklings.
The interface appeared in front of Su Hao's eyes, and he tapped on the attributes of Reverie Butterfly.
[Reverie Butterfly]
[Attributes: Wood-element]
[Characteristics: Dreams]
[Evolution pathway: Silkworm Baby → Dream Butterfly → Fairy Butterfly]
[Information:
Growth stage: 70.5%
Spiritual Force: 1355 (entry-level peak level+++);
Mind power: 1,677 (entry-level peak level+++++);
...]
[Unique Skills: Charging (Improved Multi-Stage Charging), Roaring, Stunning, Energy Ball, Granule Machine Gun, String Shot (Improved Sharp Cut Thread), Whirlwind Shock, Hurricane, Sound of Sleep, Dream Building, Eye of Nightmare, Dream Erosion, Psychic Shield, Psychic Shock]
[Special Cultivation:
Flight: Profound Truths of the Wind;
Dream-building Prolonged Scene: (1) If it's a sprite, then go up 100 levels. (2) An incredible maze;
Five Senses Illusion: visual control, hearing control, smell seal, taste seal, touch seal…]
Ordinary peak entry-level had approximately 1,000 points of spiritual force. The more outstanding the cultivation, the higher the upper limit, and it was also easier to break through to elite level.
The little rascal only broke through to entry level at 215 spiritual force. Even if the upper limit wasn't 2000+, it would still be much higher than ordinary sprites.
It hadn't reached its limit yet.
"Sprite cultivation is done step by step, so the process is very slow."
Psychic Shield, Psychic Shock, Sound of Sleep, and Dream Erosion were the new unique skills that Reverie Butterfly had learned in the past three months.
The Sound of Sleep was purely to make up the numbers. Its main energy was spent on the three Illusion-element suits — Dream Establishment, Eye of Nightmare, and Dream Erosion.

This extended into two fixed illusion scenes.
And the control of the five senses, that had yet to mature.
Reverie Butterfly practiced the two scenes over and over again every day, and finished setting up the scene in two to three seconds… And it was very stable — stability was the key, it wouldn't be broken easily.
The illusion scene of "going up to 100 levels" was used to disrupt the enemy and deal damage.
Not only did it need to jump across limited footholds, it also needed to dodge the densely packed falling rocks in the air — so flying was useless.
Su Hao let the Flaming Cloud Crow try it before.
Then, with the help of the feedback from Flaming Cloud Crow, he got first-hand information.
There was no need to mention the details, the Flaming Cloud Crow couldn't break free at all.
"Maze" Illusion Scenes were mainly used to trap enemies.
For example, Marionette, Sleeping Owl and other sprites with stronger mental power had strong resistance to illusions.
When they were injured by the illusion, the spiritual power that erupted instinctively could help them break free from the illusion.
At this moment…
He needed a harmless scene.
Just how strong was the Reverie Butterfly now…
Su Hao was really… unsure!
There was no one to compare it to.
The Marionette failed to break through to Elite level after such a long time. It couldn't take it anymore so it was abandoned by Reverie Butterfly.
Coach Xiong's Tyrant Bear. The little rascal was able to fight it well a month ago.
But for some reason…
Coach Xiong seemed to suddenly have an emergency and had left An City in a hurry. He hadn't returned ever since.
The improvements in the Flaming Cloud Crow were not small either.
Its spiritual force had exceeded 1,000.
The Water Spirit Foal was still at a stage where it had yet to reach entry level and evolve, it could only develop slowly.
But the speed of its improvement was also faster than Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow back then.
"Its spiritual force limit is very high."
Silkworm Baby's spiritual force limit was only 180 after going through the suction method.
And the Water Spirit Foal were already close to 200.
Although he couldn't get the secondary water-element Heart Attribute anymore, he could still expand the maximum spiritual force of the Water Spirit Foal to 220 with the Su-style stimulation method.
It was just that his spiritual force wasn't full yet.
...
At the front desk in the lobby.
There was a hint of embarrassment on Su Hao's handsome face.
The Flaming Cloud Crow stood at the side like a statue, without any sense of being the culprit at all.
A moment later…
The compensation amount for damaging the training room was out.
The girl at the front desk said, "The total is 35,700 yuan. Are you going to pay it immediately or postpone it?"

After all, he was a well-known mid-level Sprite Cultivator. The training hall wasn't afraid of Su Hao not paying the fees.
"I'll pay it now with my card," he said.
After settling the compensation for damaging the training room, Su Hao turned and left.
He secretly reminded himself not to come again in the future.
It wasn't until his figure disappeared around the corner when the young girl looked away and muttered,
"Talented and handsome, ah… I forgot to ask for his penguin number!"
...
After leaving Sprite Square, Su Hao didn't cause any more trouble for the shared bicycle. Instead, he called for a Special Sprite Car — he was afraid that some drivers wouldn't let Sprites get on ordinary beeps.
A car dropped him off at the entrance of a high-end villa district in the suburbs.
This was his new home.
That's right, he got a new house again!
Considering that it was no longer convenient to train and house sprites in the old house, and that it might disturb the other residents, he started to look for new houses.
Villas were the best choice. They could also settle down with large sprites in the future.
But then the problem arose.
Buying a villa was a bit expensive, and he still had to buy nutritional supplements for his few sprites with his money.
After thinking about it, Su Hao could only "inadvertently" reveal his identity as a mid-level Sprite Cultivator.
In An City, there was no need to doubt the status of a mid-level Sprite Cultivator.
He didn't know if there were any high-level Sprite Cultivators.
However, Zhao Liangcai, the owner of the Sprite Care House, was only an experienced mid-level professional.
As expected, Su Hao received a villa as a reward.
"Only a small portion of the villas in the Green Water Spiritual Court are for sale to the public. Most of them are given to outstanding talents in An City, such as mid-level Sprite Cultivators or elite-level Sprite Trainers… The purpose is to keep these talents in An City as long as possible."
At that time, Zhao Liangcai, also known as Big Brother Zhao, had told him so.
Su Hao learned that Coach Xiong's villa was also in this small area.
He thought that he could seek for Coach Xiong's Tyrant Bear here, but later on, he realized that… Coach Xiong didn't even live here.
"Seventy to eighty percent of the villas in the Green Water Spiritual Court have already been gifted out, but only less than twenty percent of those actually lived people."
Su Hao understood.
The other facilities in An City couldn't keep up.
Elite-level sprites didn't even have a training ground… There were also quite a number of elite-level Sprite Trainers who came from An City, but most of them had left their hometown.
He walked into the neighborhood.
The security officers here were already familiar with him.
In the eyes of ordinary security guards, people who brought three sprites with them were definitely big shots. They could remember them with just a glance.
Su Hao walked to the door of his villa. He opened the door, took off his shoes, and closed the door. Then, he turned on the air conditioner and slumped onto the sofa.
He scrolled through the news on his cell phone and saw that a certain Sprite Trainer trainee had made it to the hot topics while a wanted Sprite Trainer was shot dead…
As he swiped and swiped, his cell phone vibrated.
It was the phone.
He pressed the answer button and brought the phone to his ear. "Hello, Big Brother Zhao… Five big clients have booked a slot with me? Alright, alright, let's arrange for the meeting to be on Saturday morning."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he hung up the phone.
After becoming an mid-level Sprite Cultivator, his status in the Sprite Care House had also risen along with it.
Apart from the increase in consultation fees, the dividend between him and the Sprite Care House also increased from 50-50 to 70-30.
In addition, he didn't need to sit on duty every week. It was up to him when he wanted to go and when he didn't.
With his talent and current fame, he naturally had the ability to do it alone.
But there was no need to do so.
It was a waste of time.
Working at the Sprite Care House and taking on orders from big clients, apart from making money, he could also expand his connections.
"What a pity. The so-called big client of An City doesn't even pay as much as the consultation fees for the complete plan of an elite-level sprite."
Su Hao lived a life of two points and one line.
He went to school occasionally.
He trained his sprites at the lake behind the villa area occasionally.
He went to the Sprite Care House to earn some extra money occasionally.
He did some academic subject papers occasionally.
He teased Reverie Butterfly and walked the Water Spirit Foal occasionally.
Life passed by uneventfully. Soon, it was time for the first stage of the College Entrance Examination, the written test.
——
On New Year's Eve, I'm here to wish everyone a happy new year!
I wish everyone good luck, good health, and I hope everything goes according to plan ~
Respect to the warriors battling the coronavirus! Let's defeat the virus soon!
...
Well.
Then…
There is only one chapter today.
It is New Year's Eve, after all. You will forgive me, right?
"Gurgle ~ (yes yes) ~"

Lone: The Wanderer [Dropped Version (includes original draft of the rewrite's first volume)]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer? [Goal of 2 chapters per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] A/N: This story is in the middle of a rewrite, so please forgive any noticeable plot holes and wonky chapter numbers. I am working on it every day, so understanding would be greatly appreciated. The new cover art is a courtesy of the very kind and talented ssddx. This novel is a participant in The Writer's Pledge
