Chapter 51
Su Ci placed the three cans of spiritual water on the coffee table, then picked up the one containing the small spiritual seed and flashed out into the yard.
Seeing this, A Yan also ran out quickly.
The two of them came to the spirit shield and squatted down.
The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the star chain fruit vine that was just buried yesterday. One of the strongest ones has a small tender leaf sprouted from a bud close to the ground.
The leaves are very tiny, even smaller than the nail of the little finger, but compared with the tiny tips of the spiritual seeds, they are undoubtedly much better.
Seeing this, Su Ci was very satisfied.
He planted these fruit vines not entirely to repay the favor of the Star Chain Fruit.
He could feel that the Star Chain Fruit Trees were the plants he needed right now. They could secrete or enrich certain substances to help the soil recover its fertility.
Spiritual seeds need these nutrients to grow, and the spiritual energy released can promote the growth and evolution of ordinary plants. The two complement each other, and planting them together is very beneficial to the recovery of the earth.
Su Ci was paying attention to the Star Chain Fruit, while A Yan's eyes fell on the lazy guy.
As soon as he approached, he heard a familiar snoring sound. He wanted to scold it, but when he got closer, he found that -
The lazy little thing has sprouted!
He almost fell to the ground, and finally he was sure that the little lazy thing really had a green tip!
Although he was surprised, A Yan was still very happy and felt a sense of accomplishment.
Both seeds have sprouted, the breeder should be very happy, right? He looked at the young man next to him and found that the breeder was indeed emitting a happy aura.
Great! Little spirit seeds... no, little spirit buds, please grow up quickly.
“Hungry…hungry…”
Hearing the little spirit bud start to cry out for hunger, A Yan quickly took out the diluted maintenance liquid, avoiding the little green tip, and carefully poured it on the soil.
Su Ci dug a hole in the bare mud and with a flick of his hand, the spirit seeds in the mud can flew out along with the mud and were transferred into the ground.
Originally, Su Ci was just worried that the spiritual shield could not prevent the red fog, so he planted the two spiritual seeds in two different ways. Now it seems that the spiritual shield is still quite reliable, and the growth effects of the two spiritual seeds in different environments are similar.
If that's the case, there's no need to separate.
"ah!"
The delicate kid who was moved to the ground seemed to sense the change in the environment. He let out a crisp exclamation and then continued to shout slogans.
It seemed to sense the presence of its companions, because its slogan became—
"Together! Long! Long! Long!"
"Together! Long! Long! Long!"
It was as if calling out to its companions to grow together with it, and another small spiritual bud about two palms away from it suddenly stopped crying out for hunger.
This little spiritual bud seemed to sense the presence of its companion.
Perhaps, they are more than just companions, because they are spiritual seeds transformed from the pollen on the same handkerchief, perhaps... they are also related?
Just when Ah Yan thought that the lazy boy, encouraged by the sloganeer, would finally get rid of his lazy habits and start to grow vigorously—
“Huff… Wuuuuuu…”
The familiar snoring sound slowly began to ring out again, but it seemed much quieter against the backdrop of the slogans.
A Yan: “…”
He is really a lazy bum. He can actually sleep even when it is so noisy!
Su Ci, who already had ordinary plant seeds, was not so concerned about the two spiritual buds. After all, they were eaten too much, and the cost-effectiveness was not as high as that of ordinary plants.
He stood up and said to A Yan, "Go back. We will start learning the formation today."
Hearing Su Ci's words, A Yan nodded.
He stood up, waved at the two small spiritual buds and the fruit vines, and then followed Su Ci back to the dormitory.
A Yan sat at his exclusive desk, while Su Ci pulled a chair over, took out new paper and pen from the space button, and began to lecture.
Su Ci did not start immediately, but asked A Yan to write the first divine text he had learned.
A Yan held the pen and wrote the strokes carefully on the paper. When the last stroke was put down, a complete divine text suddenly took shape, with a faint platinum-colored aura flowing throughout it.
This is the sacred text belonging to A Yan, and the power of rules flowing in the sacred text also belongs to him.
The power of rules is still very weak, but with Su Ci's eyesight, he can feel the purity of this power of rules, which is very rare even among rule-type spirits.
Perhaps, this is why A Yan was able to grasp the prototype of the book spirit.
"Very good." Su Ci praised.
A Yan already has his own understanding of the divine text. Although this understanding is still shallow due to the short time, it has laid the most solid foundation.
As long as he continues to work hard and doesn't slack off, even if he grows up crooked in the future, it won't be too bad.
"The divine text contains many mysteries, especially for you." Su Ci said, "You are a spirit of the rule type. As long as you practice diligently, you can gain more insights from the divine text than other types of creatures."
According to legend, the divine text was born between heaven and earth, but Su Ci believed that the divine text may have been born much earlier than heaven and earth.
So to be precise, the divine text should have been born in chaos and was the earliest embodiment of rules.
As a spirit that controls the power of rules, its nature is very compatible with the divine text. In terms of its ability to perceive the divine text, it is naturally superior to other creatures.
Of course, this does not include Su's poems.
Although Su Ci is not a spirit of rules, as the earth, he embraces all things and gives rise to all things. Most of the rules in the world come from him.
In this world, there are really few rules that can restrain him.
What's more, his life lasted for too long.
Even the dumbest person, after hundreds or thousands of years of accumulated experience, will definitely have much more knowledge than a newborn genius.
As for Su Ci, in terms of spirituality and talent, it is really hard to compare with him.
Therefore, if A Yan wants to catch up with him, it is not impossible, but it will take at least thousands or tens of thousands of years. However... it is hard to say whether A Yan can live that long.
Thinking of this, Su Ci frowned slightly.
No, A Yan will definitely live that long. With A Yan's talent, even if it's not millions or tens of millions of years, tens of thousands of years will definitely not be a problem.
Thinking of this, Su Ci began to enlighten him about the formation based on the sacred text written by A Yan.
"The formation was obtained by the earliest formation master of the human race from the divine text. She is the founder of the formation school, but it was her three disciples who carried forward the formation."
Su Ci casually recounted the history that had happened on this planet. Now the earth has become like this, and everything in the past has long since turned to dust, buried at the bottom of the long river of time, unknown to future generations.
"Based on their master's teachings, the disciples of the founder of formations developed different types of formations according to their own talents and abilities. These are offensive, defensive, and functional formations."
"The first two formations are mostly used in battle."
Su Ci casually drew an offensive formation on the paper. When the formation took shape, he lightly tapped his pen tip and a small whirlwind formed on the paper.
A Yan's eyes widened as he watched.
He looked at the whirlwind curiously and wanted to reach out and touch it, but without the keeper's signal, he finally controlled his dangerous idea.
Su Ci tapped the pen tip again, and the whirlwind shot out, picked up an empty can on the coffee table, dropped it to the ground, and then dissipated.
"Go pick it up." Su Ci said.
A Yan quickly ran over and picked up the can, only to find that the metal shell of the can had become scarred and had been cut in several places.
After discovering this, A Yan couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't reach out to touch it just now... He carefully placed the can in front of Su Ci.
Su Ci continued his lecture, "This is an offensive formation—the whirlwind formation. The original formation is much more complex and more aggressive than this. It can release up to eight whirlwinds at a time, but it also requires more energy to support its operation."
A Yan nodded.
"Defensive formations are also very interesting. With the blessing of a powerful defensive formation, even the top cultivator of the human race can be defended. It is very suitable for retreating."
Su Ci casually drew a defensive formation on another piece of paper. He tapped his fingertips lightly, and the formation patterns on the paper disappeared.
A Yan looked at the breeder and extended the pen over the paper where the formation was originally drawn. He saw that the tip of the pen had disappeared!
Seeing A Yan's surprised look, Su Ci curled his lips slightly, tapped the tip of the pen again, and the formation pattern appeared again.
"This is an invisible formation within the defensive formation. Of course, it's often mistaken for a functional formation, but in fact, judging from its structure, it still belongs to the defensive formation category."
"Attack and defense, in specific applications, can actually be converted into each other. Don't let this definition constrain your thinking." Su Ci reminded.
A Yan nodded, not quite understanding.
Then, Su Ci turned the page again and continued, "These two formations are not the focus of our study today. What I want to teach you is the functional formation."
He drew a miniature water purification array on the paper. "This array can purify the water source, filtering out the negative energy contained in the water, leaving only the useful spiritual energy."
Then, Su Ci used the water purification array as material to explain to A Yan the structure of the functional array and the specific role each structure can play.
Although the Water Purification Formation was a formation he created casually, it was still relatively complicated for the beginner A Yan.
But with the first divine text as a foundation, a mere water purification array would definitely not be a problem for A Yan. Su Ci was very confident in this point.
And A Yan also listened very carefully. As he focused, the two furry ears on his head and the mottled hair color seemed to slowly become purer.
When Su Ci was explaining the basic knowledge of formation to A Yan, it was already past nine in the morning.
The cubs in the nursery also have time to go out and play.
Number Eight had been waiting impatiently at the door. As soon as the nanny robot opened the metal door, he rushed out of the room.
"Baba, don't run around! We are going to the activity room now." 4586 chased after him.
“I know, I know!”
Number Eight waved at him and ran happily down the corridor, enjoying this moment of freedom.
He did not choose to take the elevator, but ran to the second floor via the stairs. When he was excitedly about to rush to the activity room, he bumped into a figure at the door of the activity room, which made him subconsciously brake suddenly.
Fortunately, the little wolf cub had good control over his body and stopped at the last moment, so he did not collide with the figure.
"Number Two!"
Sensing the other's breath, the little wolf cub instinctively took a few steps back to keep a safe distance.
He had more important things to do today and didn't want to fight.
Strangely enough, Number Two, who usually has a hot temper and seems to be in a rage all the time, seems quite calm today.
He just glanced coldly at No. 8 with his slightly bloodshot eyes, then impatiently shook his tail and walked straight into the activity room.
At this time, 4586 finally caught up.
“Eighty-eight!”
Number Eight nodded, stroking his chin, looking thoughtful. "4586, do you think Number Two is a little weird today?"
"What's strange?" the nanny robot asked.
Number Eight leaned closer to it, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "He has dark circles under his eyes!"
Although Number Two thought that he was looking at Number Eight coldly and cruelly just now, from the perspective of the little wolf cub, it was Number Two who looked at him with two big round dark circles under his eyes and looked extremely haggard.
It's so strange!
? ?
After hearing his words, 4586's electronic eyes also turned into two question marks.
"And then?" it asked uncertainly.
"He has dark circles under his eyes, which means he didn't sleep well last night, but he didn't pick a fight with me or get angry at me!" Number Eight said confidently, "So there must be something wrong with him!"
The 4586 program seemed unable to handle such a complex question, and it didn't know how to answer it for a moment.
Finally, the nanny robot said, "I'll report this to the breeder."
Then it said to number eight, "Baba, baby, we have to go into the activity room."
"Oh, yes!"
Thinking of something more important, Number Eight immediately forgot about Number Two's abnormality. As he spoke, he rushed into the activity room.
Unfortunately, he was still late today.
In the activity room, the flute was already in the hands of the little white deer.
Number 8 couldn't help but curl his lips. This was the disadvantage of having a later number. No matter what he did, he was always the last one in line. He looked around and found that number 3 had not arrived yet.
This little guy, why are you so slow! Now the flute has been taken away by number seven!
The little wolf cub swung its big tail unhappily, and when it found that No. 3 had not arrived yet, it walked straight towards the silver-haired boy.
When No. 7 arrived at the activity room, there was no one in the room except No. 6.
In order to prevent yesterday's situation from happening again, after 4586 opened the door for him, he did not hesitate and ran over hurriedly. Fortunately, he successfully got his favorite toy.
Number Six got there first, but he wasn't interested in the long tube in his hand and quickly went to play with his toy speeder car.
The toy flying car is a simplified version of a floating car. It is very thrilling and exciting to play with and is the most popular game. However, there are venue restrictions and it can only be played in a corner of the activity room.
Once the toy car reaches the edge of the field and has not stopped, it will automatically cut off the power supply. There are many devices installed in the field to prevent the cubs from getting injured, so the safety is still guaranteed.
"Quack! Quack!"
In the activity room, number six's scream was soon heard, which was usually laughter, devilish and noisy.
Number Seven frowned and was about to take the toy and move away from Number Six when he noticed Number Two walking in from outside. The red-haired boy said nothing and had a rare gloomy expression on his face.
Although the two are allies, Number Seven rarely provokes Number Two.
While he was thinking about whether he should go forward and ask what was going on, the noisy little wolf cub rushed in from outside and looked at him with an unfriendly expression.
Number Seven couldn't help but think of what the breeder had said to him yesterday.
Try to praise number eight...
However, looking at the aggressive look of Number Eight rushing towards him, Number Seven felt his scalp tingling, and his whole body was filled with vigilance and alertness.
No, he can't do it!
The silver-haired little boy pursed his lips, his cheeks slightly puffed out.
He almost died at the hands of this big stupid wolf. He must avenge himself no matter what!
Of course, after the experience of being almost strangled to death yesterday, No. 7 was inevitably frightened. He did not choose to confront him head-on, but instead cautiously moved aside and was about to walk towards No. 2.
However, before he took two steps, the little wolf cub with well-developed motor nerves jumped directly in front of him and blocked his way.
Number Two, who was sitting in the corner with one knee bent and a gloomy expression, was attracted by the movements of the two people.
The boy looked over here lazily and saw that No. 8 had stopped No. 7, but he had no intention of getting up to help immediately. Instead, his tail behind him kept hitting the floor, making a popping sound.
Hearing the sound of Number Two's tiger tail whipping, Number Seven managed to keep his composure.
He didn't choose to show weakness, nor did he retreat. He stared at Number Eight, raised his chin and said, "What do you want to do? I got the toy first today!"
It was indeed he who did not follow the rules yesterday, so he paid a heavy price.
But today, he got the toy first! So, Number Seven confidently threw back to Number Eight what he had said yesterday, "I got it first, so it's mine today!"
Number Eight stood up from a half-squatting position. As soon as he stood up straight, his tall and strong body immediately overwhelmed the short and thin Little White Deer in terms of momentum.
No matter how much No. 7 wanted to appear strong, it looked like he was just bluffing.
The little wolf cub's eyes fell on Number Seven, lingering mainly on his neck where the bruises had not yet completely faded.
Number Seven, who was being stared at, felt his hair stand on end.
He glanced at the other two "allies". Number Six was still immersed in the world of toy cars, letting out bursts of shrill laughter. Although Number Two was looking at this side, he had no intention of stepping forward to help.
Even though they were outnumbered three to one in the room, the little white deer still felt isolated and helpless.
But he understood that this was reality.
He and No. 8 are now one-on-one. If he doesn't even have the courage to confront No. 8, it will be difficult for No. 2 and No. 6 to accept him as an ally.
This is how the world is. No one will protect him unconditionally. If he doesn't want to be bullied, he has to become strong himself.
Even if you will be covered in bruises in the end, as long as you are fierce and ruthless enough and can make the enemy pay the same painful price, then if there is a next time, they will not dare to attack you easily again!
Just as the little white deer was about to strike first and pounce on Number Eight, the young boy looked away and muttered, "You're still quite energetic."
"What?" Number 7 didn't hear clearly and asked subconsciously.
However, the little wolf didn't explain. He just shook his beautiful big tail and said with disdain, "Do you think I'm as unruly as you? You got it, so you got it. You're talking as if no one else doesn't have it."
Number Seven was completely confused, but Number Eight didn't look like he wanted to fight. Although he was still alert, he felt a little relieved.
These carnivores fight like crazy, so if you can avoid fighting, it's better.
"Then why are you stopping me?" The silver-haired little boy asked coldly with a stern face.
"hey-hey."
Faced with his indifference, the young boy chuckled triumphantly. He pointed at the flute in Number Seven's hand and said, "You play with this thing every day, but do you know what this toy is called?"
Number Seven was startled for a moment, then calmed down and said firmly, "A toy is a toy. I don't care what it's called!"
"Hahahaha, so you just don't know, huh?"
The little wolf cub smiled smugly, "You're still laughing at me for being stupid, but I don't think you're that smart either. You don't even know what this flute is called!"
Number Seven, who had not expected to be laughed at by the big stupid wolf, couldn't help but choke, and his fair face slowly turned red.
The little boy clenched his fingers and held the toy tightly in his hand, but soon he realized something and his blue-black eyes widened slightly.
He looked at number eight and said suspiciously, "It's called the flute."
Now it was the little wolf cub's turn to be stunned.
He scratched his hair and wanted to show off, but he didn't expect that Number 7 would actually answer?
"Tsk, so you knew..."
Not far away, Number Two, who had been paying attention to their conversation, said: "..."
Even Number Seven was speechless. This stupid wolf really hadn't noticed anything at all. How could he have known?
And in fact, it seemed to be true. Number 8 continued, "Even though you know it's a flute, you don't know how to play it! That's why you're the dumbest one!"
Number Seven tightened his grip on the long tube again.
He really didn't know how to play it. Today was the first time he knew that this thing was called a flute...
"So you know how to play?"
He stared at the smug No. 8. Although he didn't want to believe it in his heart, No. 7 had already guessed it when he saw the expression on No. 8's face.
The Big Stupid Wolf’s thoughts are so easy to understand. If he didn’t really know how to do it, he would never say that.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the little wolf cub raised his chin and said arrogantly: "That's right, I just know how to play!"
Suddenly, the little white deer changed his mind and felt that something was wrong. He smiled contemptuously and said, "You don't think I'll give you the flute just because you said that? Don't even think about it. I won't be fooled by you!"
"cut!"
Number Eight snorted disdainfully, "Do you think you're the only one with a flute?"
As he said this, he reached behind his back.
Then, under the surprised gaze of Number Seven, the young boy took out a short bamboo flute from the collar on his back. Although it was stuck in the middle by his clothes, this action was not as handsome as the little wolf cub had imagined.
But when the little wolf saw the surprise on Number Seven's face, he didn't mind at all.
He swung the bamboo flute in his hand and chuckled, "Look at this! Isn't it more beautiful than the one you have?"
The bamboo flute Su Ci gave him was a variation of the flute used by the shepherd boy in his memory. Its shape was simple yet childlike, and it was made of real bamboo. It did look more pleasing to the eye than the high-tech flute in No. 7's hand.
Number Seven, as a white deer, is very sensitive to plants. He can feel a fresh and elegant plant scent from the flute in Number Eight's hand.
He took one look and was mesmerized.
"Where did you get this flute?" he asked subconsciously.
"Don't worry about that. All you need to know is that this is mine!" Number 8 shook his big tail with a look of boasting on his face.
"Besides, I can play this flute, and I play it better than you!"
As he spoke, the young boy placed the flute horizontally and began to play it seriously according to the results of yesterday's practice.
