The attribute panel of the green caterpillar might have suddenly changed to this.
At this point, although the green caterpillar is still very weak, its potential has already reached a very high level.
Even for those evolution researchers, even if they have a pile of exaggerated skills, none of them are as valuable as the current green caterpillar.
After all, the plasticity of mastery-level silk is too strong, representing infinite possibilities.
Actually, Shi Yu wanted to add more points to see if the mastery-level silk could be further improved.
However, he really doesn't have the energy at the moment... mainly because he temporarily doesn't want to face the fact that there might be higher-level skill proficiency.
“Ji...”
After learning Absolute Sleep, the green caterpillar was slightly surprised.
How could there be such a convenient skill?
Absolute Sleep can help the pet beast fall asleep instantly, and it's a super deep sleep that restores physical strength very quickly, which is exactly what it needs!
Finally, it can get away from insomnia...
“Don't think about insomnia for now.”
“Do you feel more mentally and spiritually alert?”
Absolute Sleep is a mental skill, and after the teaching is complete, it will enhance the green caterpillar's mental strength. After Shi Yu spoke, the green caterpillar raised its head in confusion, looked at Shi Yu, and then nodded, probably.
“...” Why does Shi Yu feel like he's a teacher asking a student a question, and the student can't give a clear answer?
“Your next training task is to practice lucid dreaming.”
“Have you ever had a recurring dream where you realize you're dreaming?” Shi Yu asked.
The green caterpillar nodded, yes, yes, yes, it has dreamed of being eaten by birds more than once.
Damn, it will remember this grudge.
“After realizing it, do you struggle intensely and wake up in shock?” Shi Yu asked again.
The green caterpillar found it amazing, how does Shi Yu know everything!
Shi Yu chuckled, anyone who has recurring nightmares reacts this way.
“Before going to sleep, concentrate and imagine, hypnotize yourself to recall the recurring dreams. This is the beginning of lucid dreaming.”
“If you encounter a similar dream and realize you're dreaming, you've already succeeded halfway. At this point, stay calm, focus your mind, and don't try to escape. Instead, start imagining.”
“This is your dream, and if there's no external interference, everything in it is controlled by you.”
“As long as your subconscious willpower is strong enough, the nightmare scene can disappear from your sight at any time. You can easily do whatever you want to see or become in your dream.”
When teaching skills, Shi Yu might rely on the skill manual, but for this, he knows it well.
Once, when troubled by nightmares, Shi Yu successfully countered a female ghost with this method, but unfortunately, it only happened once.
At this moment, the green caterpillar vaguely understood, and Eleven was listening in while training.
Oh, isn't it just daydreaming?
Too virtual, not suitable for it, no fun.
It also thinks the caterpillar can't grasp it, better to sweat it out!
Eleven chose to continue training hard.
Currently, Shi Yu's skill manual pages are full again, and he needs to contract another pet beast to increase the page count, so he can't copy any dream control skills. He can only let the green caterpillar practice lucid dreaming on its own.
He also wants to immediately contract the green caterpillar, but the beast control space level is not high enough.
However, before the green caterpillar forms a cocoon, Shi Yu will definitely complete the contract.
This has two benefits.
First, if the green caterpillar becomes his pet beast first and fails to form a cocoon, Shi Yu can use the beast control space to keep it alive.
The pet beast contract is a mysterious power. Unless it's absolute annihilation, as long as one party is in good condition, the other party in a critical state won't die directly, which is like locking the blood through the contract.
Second, if the green caterpillar completes evolution under the contract, Shi Yu, as the beast controller, might also gain some benefits, just like how a pet beast's growth level improvement can benefit the beast controller.
“Ji!”
Then, Shi Yu explained some key points of dream control to the green caterpillar, not only what he understood but also related information he found on the internet.
The dream control culture in this extraordinary world seems to be more popular than on Earth.
“Ji!!”
After thoroughly memorizing these pieces of knowledge, the green caterpillar immediately planned to start training.
“Hey, wait a moment.” Shi Yu yawned and then called out to the green caterpillar.
“I haven't finished talking yet. Don't dream randomly; have a plan.”
He took out his phone, opened a picture, and showed it to the green caterpillar.
【Image】
【Name】: Frost Dragon
【Race Level】: Medium Overlord
“Didn't you dream of turning into a dragon before? Look, is it this kind of creature?”
Shi Yu searched for a picture of an ice dragon on the internet. To be honest, the one they encountered in the ruins was a bit different.
The one they encountered had stronger scales, and only the whisker area was hair, while the ice dragon in the picture had ice-blue hair all over its body, half and half with scales.
However, the aura was the same, very majestic and dominant.
“Ji!!!”
Seeing Shi Yu take out his phone, the green caterpillar curiously looked at the picture and then shook its head.
It dreamed of turning into a green, wingless dragon, similar in size to itself, not this winged one.
“Green Dragon? No wonder.” Shi Yu roughly understood why the green caterpillar dreamed of turning into a dragon.
It must have seen a picture of a Green Dragon somewhere and then had an impression.
The Green Dragon is an ancient mythical creature, and many places like to use its statues or paintings to protect their homes. The green caterpillar might have seen it this way.
“Don't think about it anymore, look at this.” Shi Yu pointed to the Frost Dragon in the picture.
“This guy... or one of its kind, beat up Eleven in the ruins last time.”
“Look at it carefully a few times, try to dream it up. When the time comes, I'll teach you the skill to materialize your dreams, and you'll have a chance to defeat Eleven.”
“Ji?”
Really?
The green caterpillar: ? ω?
It looked at Eleven, who is its mental and ideological leader. Defeating Eleven sounds so fulfilling!
Eleven, in the middle of training, sensed someone was badmouthing it.
It turned its head and indeed saw Shi Yu and the green caterpillar looking at it with ill intent.
Eleven: ???
What did it do wrong by training hard?
Shi Yu chuckled and put his phone on the ground for the green caterpillar to observe the ice dragon.
Hmm... I'll print a photo later, this is too troublesome.
Indeed, Shi Yu planned to let the green caterpillar start with a big challenge.
Directly using the Frost Dragon as the object of dream materialization, of course, the initial effect will definitely be poor.
The materialized object might not even be as powerful as an awakened level 1 ice lizard, but the skill of illusion and reality must be cultivated gradually.
“Can't hold on anymore.”
At the same time, Shi Yu's eyelids were getting heavier.
After enhancing the silk 48 times and teaching Absolute Sleep once, and eating five divine beans and some other supplements, Shi Yu felt extremely sleepy, even with the supplements, his condition had reached its limit.
...
The next day.
Shi Yu wasn't woken up by the green caterpillar or Eleven, but by a phone call.
“Hello, your package has arrived!”
“Wait a moment.”
After hearing the voice, Shi Yu got up groggily, put on his cat slippers, and walked out of the training villa.
At first, Shi Yu was still quite groggy, but when he saw the familiar courier, he immediately became alert.
“Ah, this.”
The courier from Sky Wing looked at Shi Yu, then at the large villa behind him, suddenly understanding something and showing an envious expression.
A moment later, Shi Yu received the two Void Crystal Fruits and walked back into the villa.
After a night, Shi Yu looked out the window and saw that Eleven seemed to still be training.
Its training method was simple: doubling, Thunder Palm, Hardening, and Super Vision, all four skills activated simultaneously to train coordination.
This was taught by Shi Yu. After all, training a single skill is boring; it's better to go for combination skills directly.
This method can train four skills simultaneously and also develop the most important coordination ability for future combination skills, achieving two goals at once.
“After the caterpillar's evolution is complete, I'll help Eleven perfect the 'Thunder Armor' technique.”
“I wonder how long it will take for 'Electromagnetic Cannon'.”
The former is a perfect combination of Hardening and Thunder Palm, while the latter, Shi Yu estimates, would require at least mastery-level Hardening and Thunder Palm...
After going downstairs and greeting Eleven, Shi Yu quickly found the green caterpillar.
At this moment, the green caterpillar was sleeping in a potted plant in the training field.
“Wake up.” Shi Yu used telepathy to call it.
At the beginner level of Absolute Sleep, it cannot yet perceive external dynamics well while sleeping.
However, with telepathy, Shi Yu can definitely wake it up with one call, better than any alarm clock.
“Ji...” The green caterpillar opened its eyes groggily and then saw Shi Yu.
The next second, it “Ji, Ji, Ji” started to boast.
It, the green caterpillar, is a genius!
“Hmm, you said you can control your dreams quite well? You can already roughly outline the image of the ice dragon?”
Hearing the green caterpillar say this, Shi Yu was clearly surprised. This talent is impressive.
Although this ability can be practiced by ordinary people, the green caterpillar is a caterpillar, and to approach the requirements of lucid dreaming in just one night definitely indicates corresponding talent!
However, this is just the beginning. In this dream state, the image of the ice dragon the green caterpillar dreams of will definitely be very blurry.
The quality of the materialized illusion is related to the realism of the illusion. For the green caterpillar to perfectly materialize the ice dragon, it must dream of every single hair of the ice dragon clearly.
It's like requiring you to dream of a cat and be able to clearly count the number of hairs on the cat in your dream, that's success.
This is undoubtedly very demanding, especially for pet beasts without dream talent, but to complete the illusion and reality skill, this step is necessary.
Let's see if we can copy related skills in the future...
“Eat something first.” Shi Yu took out a transparent, glass-like Void Crystal Fruit and handed it to the green caterpillar.
“Ji...”
The green caterpillar didn't know what it was and couldn't smell any aroma, but since it was given by Shi Yu, it must be good.
“Ji.”
The green caterpillar called out, crawled to the side, and took a small bite.
Gulp.
After swallowing the fruit, the green caterpillar felt no taste and no change in its body.
“Finish eating first.” Shi Yu said.
Thus, the green caterpillar started to eat the Void Crystal Fruit.
An academic giant who studied the Ice Phoenix Moth and cultivated a green caterpillar with mastery-level skills published a public paper on silk.
Although the green caterpillar's mastery-level silk can change its properties through food, this change is not long-lasting.
To maintain a specific property, it must eat the same food every day.
If the food changes one day, the old property of the silk might be replaced by the new property.
From this, it can be seen that the green caterpillar's mastery-level silk perfectly inherits the characteristic of evolving in different directions based on different evolution materials.
Unfortunately, this giant did not publish the properties of all materials, only giving two examples.
Previously, the green caterpillar ate level 1 resources, Dragon Whisker Grass, which is used to enhance the sharpness and toughness of silk.
Now, after eating a Void Crystal Fruit, although the green caterpillar hasn't felt any change in its silk, the skill manual in front of Shi Yu changed.
【Skill】: Illusion and Reality
【Skill Level】: Advanced
【Status】: Teachable
Shi Yu: “!!!”
Indeed, it can!
The compatibility standard of the skill manual can be changed later!
“Ji...” At this moment, the green caterpillar, seeing Shi Yu's sudden look of surprise, still didn't know what was happening.
“I... forget it, first test the current property of your silk.”
“Ji!” The green caterpillar immediately nodded and then condensed its silk into a white arrow and shot it at the ground far away!
Whoosh!!
To the green caterpillar, it was no different from before.
In the end, with a “bang,” the silk arrow pierced into the ground, causing a crack, but the process was still unremarkable.
To be precise, the sharpness of the silk seemed to have improved.
After all, the training ground is specially designed, and the previous silk couldn't achieve this level of power.
“Ji...” The green caterpillar was confused, it seemed a bit stronger, but not particularly so.
It looked at Shi Yu, who was now looking at the crack in the training ground, silent.
“Did you just condense your silk into an arrow and shoot it?”
The green caterpillar nodded, yes, yes.
Shi Yu: “...”
He rubbed his eyes, suspecting he was blind.
“Try again.”
A moment later, another crack appeared in the training ground.
“Just one, put it on the ground.”
Then, Shi Yu had the green caterpillar spit out a silk strand on the ground.
Shi Yu squatted down, gently touched it, and finally confirmed.
The property of the space-type silk, besides being sharper, might be invisibility.
This can actually be achieved by the necromancy, mental, and light types, all of which can deceive spatial perception in different ways.
Shi Yu was slightly silent, wondering how easy it is to counter the spatial deception of the space type compared to other types.
If it's not easy to counter, it's still okay; if it's easy to counter, it's too weak, after all, to maintain this silk, 500,000 per Void Crystal Fruit can't stop, and it's far from the boundary line that can cut through space he imagined...
Sigh, after all, it's just a level 10 green caterpillar plus a Void Crystal Fruit with weak spatial power... he shouldn't have had high expectations.
“The key is not the silk, but this.”
Shi Yu extended his hand, preparing to teach the green caterpillar the “Illusion and Reality” skill.
Making the silk temporarily have spatial properties is not to enhance the silk but to increase the green caterpillar's compatibility with spatial types.
“Manual, teach.”
Before the green caterpillar could react, Shi Yu pressed his finger on its head.
The green caterpillar slightly lowered its head.
At the same time, a large amount of white light gathered into its body, changing its constitution.
In a short moment, countless experiences and knowledge about Illusion and Reality floated in the green caterpillar's mind, causing it to feel a splitting headache.
“Ji—”
A moment later, the green caterpillar, with a look of surprise, received and understood this super complex skill.
It looked at Shi Yu, who was stuffing divine beans into his mouth and drinking an unknown liquid, still a bit at a loss, when Shi Yu's voice entered its mind.
【Absolute Sleep, dream quickly, materialize the ice dragon for me.】
【From today, you are no longer a green caterpillar, but an Imaginative Caterpillar.】
An Imaginative Caterpillar that can summon a dragon to fight by daydreaming!
“Ji!!” The beast controller's order made the green caterpillar's blood boil, and it confidently fell asleep, after all, it practiced all night yesterday.
It had a lot of confidence in success.
Then... Shi Yu stood there for about five minutes, nothing happened, and the green caterpillar seemed to be sleeping soundly.
“...”
Stupid caterpillar, if this were in battle, you would have died a hundred times. Who would give you five minutes to cast a skill?
Shi Yu was speechless, but considering it was still a green caterpillar and not a dream beast, and the skill was just learned, he patiently waited.
Another five minutes passed.
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh~~~~
In front of Shi Yu, the space around the green caterpillar's body seemed to distort, and the image of the sleeping green caterpillar gradually disappeared, replaced by something that looked like a Frost Dragon... not really, actually just about two meters in size, looking like a blue lizard.
It breathed cold air, flapped its wings, and its eyes revealed an extremely domineering aura.
This was not a traditional illusion but a materialized illusion, a creature from the green caterpillar's dream that projected itself using spatial power and successfully materialized!
Frost Lizard, present!
Shi Yu was speechless.
It seems more practice is needed... otherwise, not only will it lack power, but
