Buy one get three free, or buy one get six free.
With one point increase, not only did he obtain three derivative skills of [Impact Training Method], but the Carterpie also obtained three derivative skills of [Impact], for a total of six abilities.
The only downside is that the process is a bit uncomfortable.
In that extremely real dream world, he never found out how to return to nature until his death, which made him feel extremely sad and at the same time produced an extremely strong sense of frustration.
In that world, he didn't remember having a Spirit Master System Panel. There were no living creatures other than him and the Carterpie, not even Wimpod Pokémon Egg in his backpack.
There is no Clear Creek Village there, only endless forests.
Even among the books that the village chief gave him from Clear Creek Village School, only the two books he had read, "Encyclopedia of Pokémons in the Summer Kingdom (I)" and "Encyclopedia of Pokémons in the Summer Kingdom (II)", retained some pages.
Mark opened his backpack and was about to flip through a few books, but suddenly he felt a cramp in his abdomen.
The aftereffects of adding points appeared again, and an extremely strong feeling of hunger came over me.
Soon, the man and the insect began to eat the sweet chestnuts that had been prepared earlier.
After dozens of minutes.
Mark was basically full and although he still felt a little empty, it was not serious.
The green caterpillar next to it is still eating, but the frequency of eating has decreased a lot. It is estimated that it will be full soon.
Mark opened the Spirit Master panel.
…
[Mark]
[Occupation: Spirit Master]
[Experience: 8%]
[Points: None]
[Royal Spirit: Green Caterpillar]
…
Compared to the 12% experience gained last time after being full, this time the experience is a little less. After Cartepie is full, the experience bar will reach about 9%.
Mark estimated that this might be related to the growth in the size of the caterpillar.
After the first addition, Cartepie's body size grew from 40 cm to 65 cm, so it consumed more food.
This time, although Cartepie gained more, its size did not grow much, so it consumed less food and naturally accumulated less experience.
While thinking, Mark spread his fingers to measure the length of Cartepie.
After a simple measurement, Mark found that Cartepie grew from about 65 cm to about 73 cm.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss."
"Oh? You mean, your body won't continue to grow?"
"Hiss, hiss."
Cartepie nodded continuously.
As it continued to eat, its body grew a little more.
Then in the process of development, it produced a sense of abrupt stop, as if his body had grown to its limit.
To describe it concretely, it is a bit like pouring water into a bottle that is full of water, which is naturally useless.
Cartepie was still thinking when he saw Mark pinching his chin and said, "It seems that you have fully realized your potential and grown to the limit of your body, so you feel the bottleneck.
If you want to continue growing, you can only add points to your five-dimensional potential, or as the book says, take some feed or fruit that can enhance your potential.
By the way, I remember that Cartepie leader was over one meter tall, and there seemed to be no one in the entire Cartepie group that was close to its size. Do you know why Cartepie leader was able to be so big? "
"Hiss."
Cartepie shook its head. It didn't know why Cartepie leader was so big, nor did it know what Cartepie leader's talent was.
Cartepie wanted to continue describing it, but suddenly he felt something and stretched out his forelimbs to touch his teeth.
"What happened to your teeth?"
Mark looked worried, thinking that Cartepie had got something stuck in its teeth while eating the fruit, but he found that after Cartepie covered its teeth, it suddenly curled up on the ground and kept twisting.
"hiss?"
Cartepie didn't know what was wrong with him.
Its teeth neither hurt nor itched, and it couldn't describe the exact feeling; it was amazing.
Crunch——
In a trance, Cartepie seemed to hear the sound of a door opening, or the sound of shackles breaking.
Something flowed into its teeth, making them stronger. At the same time, something indescribable emerged in its mind, as if it was the technique of using a move.
Just like it was born knowing how to [Strike] and [Spin Silk], it also learned a new skill...
"[Insect bite]?"
Mark discovered that Cartepie was not in the right state, so he opened the Spirit Master panel and saw a new skill, [Insect Bite], appeared after [Impact] and [Silking] in Cartepie's skill column.
…
[Insect Bite: Use sharp and strong teeth to bite the opponent, which has the effect of sucking nutrients from plant fruits]
…
In the Pokémon games, the moves that Cartepie can master are very limited. Apart from [Smash] and [Silk Spin], which are the moves it is born with, only [Insect Bite] and [Electric Grid] can be learned later.
Among them, [Power Grid] cannot be obtained through upgrading, and must be learned by using the move learning device.
Mark remembered that in the game, the effect of [Bug Bite] was to bite the opponent with teeth and eat the berries carried by the opponent at the same time.
In the real world, [Bug Bite] is definitely not exactly the same as in the game.
According to the description on the system panel, [Insect Bites] have the effect of sucking nutrients from plant fruits.
But this description is very confusing, and Mark cannot imagine what the specific effect is.
Mark looked at Cartepie and saw it fiddling with its teeth, seemingly confused by its sudden realization of the [Insect Bite] skill.
Mark patted Cartepie's head gently. "Don't be so surprised. This is a characteristic of Pokémons. As the body grows, it will learn some skills from its own blood genes, just like the [Impact] and [Silk Spinning] that you mastered when you were born.
Cartepie is a completely metamorphosed Pokémon, and its true bloodline gene will be formed when you evolve into Butterfree.
You have only mastered [Insect Bite] now. When you evolve into Butterfree, you will master many more skills from your bloodline genes, such as [Hypnotic Powder], [Paralysis Powder], [Poison Powder], and [Butterfly Dance]. "
"Ss ...
"Are you asking what a complete pervert is, and what bloodline genes are? How do you explain that... You definitely won't understand if I tell you about the bloodline inheritance in the world of swords and magic, right..."
Mark thought of something and took out the "Encyclopedia of Pokémons of the Summer Kingdom (II)" from his backpack and opened it. He turned to the chapter on Pokémons' skills and moves, which contained a page with an illustration of a double helix structure.
Like humans, the genes of Pokémons also have a double helix structure.
"This double helix structure represents your bloodline genes. If you use an electron microscope to observe your flesh and blood, you can see a similar double helix structure. The ability you just comprehended, [Insect Bite], is hidden in this double helix structure."
"In fact, this double helix structure not only contains abilities and moves, but also contains a variety of information, such as your skin is green, and the shape of the tentacles on your forehead is Y-shaped..."
"You ask what an electron microscope is? It's something that can magnify objects. Look at this grain of sand in my hand. What do you think it would look like if you magnified it tens of thousands of times..."
"Hiss?"
"How much is tens of thousands times? I'll teach you math later. You don't have to think about how much tens of thousands times is. Imagine magnifying this grain of sand to my size. An electron microscope is something that can visually magnify an object."
"Okay, let me continue to explain the complete metamorphosis you just asked about. In the world before I traveled through time, the complete metamorphosis was used to describe insects, but in this world, the complete metamorphosis..."
Mark said as he opened several other textbooks and kept flipping through them.
After searching for a while, Mark shook his head slightly.
"Only this book, 'Encyclopedia of Summer Kingdom Pokémons (II)', mentions completely metamorphosed pokemons. It says that the Cartepie, Beedrill, and Magikarp in Summer Kingdom are all completely metamorphosed Pokémons. Before evolving into their final form, they can only master very few skills and moves."
"As for the classification criteria and specific characteristics of completely abnormal Pokémons, I guess we can only find the answer by asking the teachers at school or in the library of the Pokémon Academy. Maybe the village chief also knows. We can ask him when we go back."
Mark put the book down and looked at the Cartepie. He saw that the Cartepie tilted its head and looked dizzy.
It can be seen that the Cartepie has tried very hard to understand his answer, but he is unable to do so.
Mark rubbed Cartepie's head and said, "Your intelligence is actually good enough, but you don't understand many words, and you haven't learned knowledge systematically. Just take your time. Let's take a look at the [Insect Bite] you just learned from your bloodline gene. Can you use [Insect Bite] on this tree?"
Cartepie nodded, and immediately rushed to the tree that Mark pointed to, leaving a very obvious tooth mark.
Compared to the initial [Impact] move, the attack power of [Insect Bite] is obviously much stronger.
You should know that the [Impact] that Cartepie used at the beginning could not leave any marks on the trees, it could only make the trees tremble slightly.
Mark took a quick look and found that the teeth marks at the place where Cartepie had bitten were very deep. If Cartepie had used more force, it might have been able to bite off a piece of wood.
The power is acceptable, but the effect of absorbing nutrients from plant fruits in the [Insect Bite] skill is not reflected.
Mark pinched his chin lightly, picked up a sweet chestnut fruit and placed it in front of the caterpillar and said, "Cartepie, use [Insect Bite] on this fruit."
Cartepie nodded and gently bit the sweet chestnut, leaving two inconspicuous tooth marks.
However, compared to the inconspicuous tooth marks, the fruit in Mark's hand has undergone a drastic change - the fruit has become lighter.
Mark broke the fruit open and saw that the flesh inside had been hollowed out, leaving only a few dry impurities.
Cartepie looked at the empty fruit shell in Mark's hand with surprise.
After all, it was the first time that the special effect of [Insect Bite] was used, and it felt very novel.
Mark was thoughtful, and suddenly thought of something and said, "Cartepie, can you use [Bug Bite] without touching the fruit?"
Cartepie was puzzled, but did as he was told, nibbling the air at another sweet chestnut berry that Mark picked up.
After biting the air for more than ten times, just when Cartepie thought it was of no use, it suddenly felt a full feeling in its abdomen, and some nutrients flowed into its stomach.
Mark raised his brows slightly and broke the fruit open.
There were no marks on the surface of the sweet chestnut fruit, but just like the previous one that had been bitten, the inside had been hollowed out.
"It really broadens my horizons. I never thought that the [Bug Bite] in the Pokémon game, which can eat the berries carried by the opponent, can be perfectly replicated in reality..." Mark sighed secretly.
Without thinking too much, Mark changed the subject and said, "Cartepie, after adding points, you have learned new skills such as instant attack, hard and soft penetrating attack, and multi-stage combo, but you haven't used them yet. Let's go to the Cartepie group and test them in actual combat!"
As Mark spoke, Cartepie looked up suddenly and suddenly realized something.
Yes, it was just busy thinking about the mess of things its master said that it didn't quite understand, and because of the newly realized [Insect Bites], it felt dazed and completely forgot the power it had acquired through constant practice in that long dream.
Compared with its [Impact (Instant Attack)], [Impact (Hard and Soft Penetrating Attack)], and [Impact (Multi-stage Combo)], the [Insect Bite] that it awakened and comprehended from that gene is just a dispensable little garbage.
Although it is fun to use, and you can even eat fruits from a distance, it is completely useless in actual combat.
Forty-seven years of practice flashed through Cartepie's mind like a revolving lantern...
If it were the current one, it should be able to charge through the layers of blockades ofCartepies head-on and fight the green caterpillar leader for real, right?
The green caterpillar clenched its forelimbs, revealing an expression that was eager to try.
Before Mark could speak, it could not wait to move towards the territory of the green caterpillars, and urged Mark who was left behind...
