Chapter 23 The Twenty-Third Mom
In more than a month, Xiao Xia Youjie has subdued more than forty cursed spirits. If some had not been lost in battle, the number would have exceeded half a hundred.
In the first week of the awakening ceremony, Xiao Xia Youjie was able to obtain three or four cursed spirit jades almost every day. He was very active in taming the cursed spirits in the nearby area.
According to Xiao Xia Youjie's description of the appearance of the cursed spirits, most of them he caught were fly heads, which were cursed spirits below level four. They were very weak cursed spirits. For Xiao Xia Youjie, they could be crushed into cursed spirit jade with just one move.
Bai Chuanmu wanted to say something but stopped himself several times, thinking that this kind of cursed spirit would not be of much use if it was subdued.
But seeing how excited Xiao Xia Youjie was, she hesitated again.
Like Little Eyes, the combat capability is very weak, but the low-level curse spirit training that has some functionality can still be useful, as for the others, the role they can play is minimal.
However, in the original work, Geto Suguru seems to really "accept everyone who comes".
When Xiao Xia Youjie tried hard to finish eating the Curse Jade for the Nth time, rinsed his mouth, and contentedly enjoyed the dessert prepared for him by his mother.
Bai Chuanmu couldn't help himself and advised: "Xiao Jie, there is actually no need to subdue all the cursed spirits you encounter. The cursed spirits that are too weak can be exorcised directly. They can provide little help to you."
Xiao Xia Youjie, who was digging into the mango pudding, was stunned. He bit the spoon and tilted his head and said, "But... I think the more cursed spirits I can subdue, the better, because there is no limit to the number of cursed spirits I can subdue. Although they are very weak, they can always come in handy. Um... didn't mom also say that we should accumulate little by little to make a lot?"
"It's important to accumulate little by little, but you also need to keep improving. Although there is no upper limit to your ability to subdue cursed spirits, your energy is also limited," Baichuan Mu said earnestly, "It's not worth spending too much energy on them. Although Xiaojie is very strong, he will feel tired after a long time, right?"
"I won't be tired. I feel like I'm getting stronger, so I'm very happy!" Xiao Xia Youjie scooped another spoonful of mango pudding, "And my mother is with me, isn't she?"
"Hmm..." Bai Chuanmu tilted her head and thought for a while, then came up with another reason. Her eyes were deep and her voice was lowered a bit, "Xiao Jie, properly exorcising the curse spirits will help conceal the identity of the curse spirit operators, so when facing curse spirits, you have to make choices. For the curse spirits that are of no use, Xiao Jie will just remove them directly."
Xiao Xia Youjie blinked his eyes: "I understand!"
Bai Chuanmu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the child listened to advice.
Xiao Xia Youjie was thinking seriously. It seemed that his father also relied on screening cursed spirits in the past, exorcising the weak cursed spirits and recruiting the powerful cursed spirits for his own use. No, the key point is whether they can be used. We must observe, understand and think about their abilities, as well as the occasions where they can play a role, and put them where they should be. This is the difference between being useful and being used.
Could it be that this... is this the legendary way of using people (cursed spirits)? !
It turns out that my mother wanted me to slowly understand and master the method of using the power of the Nengren (curse spirit). My mother really has good intentions.
Fortunately, Bai Chuanmu can't read minds, otherwise she would have a lot of question marks in her head, and maybe even a question mark curse spirit would be born.
Yes, Xiao Xia Youjie not only listened to the advice, but also changed his mind again.
…
After this conversation, the number and frequency of the cursed spirit jades that Xiao Xia Youjie brought back decreased slightly. He deliberately screened and exorcised a small number of cursed spirits and did not choose to tame them.
But there is another reason. Almost all the cursed spirits near their house have been cleared out by Xiao Xia Youjie. In the later period, most of his "income" has to rely on Bai Chuanmu taking him out to play on weekends. Only when he goes to places he doesn't often go to on weekdays can he encounter cursed spirits.
The kindergarten has no classes on weekends, so Bai Chuanmu takes Xiao Xia Youjie out to play every week, such as to the zoo, amusement park, cinema, etc. The kindergarten usually ends early, and Bai Chuanmu has now resigned and become a freelancer. Every evening, he takes Xiao Xia Youjie to the park to play, walks around the streets with him, and then watches him fight wits and courage with the air, cheering him up.
At first, Baichuanmu could see Xiao Xia Youjie fighting with the air every day. Later, as he had more followers, Xiao Xia Youjie began to choose to summon cursed spirits to fight, while he himself directed the battle from the side.
"Bulbasaur, use Leaf Blade!"
Bai Chuanmu saw several scratches on the wall that was accidentally damaged, and there was also a sharp sound, as if someone was scratching a blackboard with fingernails.
Are you, Bulbasaur, really amazing?
"Charmander, use Jet Fire!"
Bai Chuanmu saw the innocent grass turned into ashes in an instant, and the remaining soil also turned black, like charcoal.
You, little fire dragon, are really...very hot...is this a small leaky pot?
"Squirtle, just use..."
"Wait a minute, Xiaojie," Baichuanmu covered his face and thought carefully about the content of the original work. Xiayou Jie didn't command the cursed spirits to fight in this way, right? "You should be able to control the cursed spirits to fight directly with your mind, without having to command them out loud, right?"
Xiao Xia Youjie nodded and said, "Yes, but I think it's more handsome this way, and I want to be a Pokémon master. I saw in the anime that Xiaozhi and his friends fought like this, so I specially arranged similar skills!"
Xiao Xia Youjie works very hard, but it seems like he is working in the wrong direction?
Baichuanmu reflected on this and wondered if we shouldn't let children watch too many cartoons? But...but she wanted to watch it too!
She takes Xiao Xia Youjie to watch "Journey to the West" and "Pokemon" every day! This is an indispensable spiritual entertainment!
Xiao Xia Youjie commanded the cursed spirit to end the battle quickly. This new cursed spirit was quite powerful, so he pinched it into a cursed spirit jade and put it in his small bag. Then he exorcised a fly that was passing by and killed it.
A passing fly: QAQ?
Then Xiao Xia Youjie enthusiastically introduced his three cursed spirits to Baichuanmu. He has been "favoring" these three cursed spirits recently. Although his mother couldn't see, he still pointed at the Bulbasaur cursed spirit and said, "This is Bulbasaur. It looks like a dead tree, as tall as me, but round and has many small bumps on its body. Spikes can burst out of the small bumps. This is its skill, Leaf Blade!"
The image of the fat Xiao Huayu appeared in Bai Chuanmu's mind.
"This is Charmander. It looks a bit like a lizard! But it has no tail, its skin is purple-red, its claws are fiery red, and there's a hole in its head that allows it to spit fire... Actually, it spit out red mucus, very hot. I think it can also be called a jet of flame."
Bai Chuanmu's mind flashed with the image of a small clepsydra lying on the ground, wearing new purple clothes.
"This is Squirtle. It looks... uh, like a baby? It has a shell on its body, but it looks like a sewn-on shell. Its fur is blue."
Oh my goodness, a little real person?! Is there a little Tuogen?!
Xiao Xia Youjie looked at the Squirtle Curse Spirit and said in distress: "It's a pity that it doesn't have water skills. I don't have any other Curse Spirits that look like Squirtle. If I get a water Curse Spirit in the future, I will give it the name Squirtle."
Well, now the little Tuo Gen is also booked.
There are more weird meal replacements!
