Spirit Plant Masters Sweep Across the Beast Taming Interstellar Space

Chapter 41 If you electrocute me again, I'll really turn on you!

Leaving the seedling room and walking further ahead, you'll find individual laboratories where researchers can be seen working diligently in front of various instruments through huge glass windows.

"I'm in charge of that lab up ahead. We've been researching lightning grass recently," Lu Nan said, enthusiastically inviting Ge Bai to visit his lab, much like a child eager to share toys.

The laboratory was arranged in a very simple manner. In the center of a large, carefully arranged simulated ecological environment, a lightning grass was growing quietly.

"This was brought out from a secret place, and we observed that its discharge was extremely powerful."

"This lightning grass at the mortal level has an electrical energy value that can match the lightning of a thunder vulture at the transcendent level."

"What's even more difficult is that when we brought him back from the secret realm, he didn't strongly resist, and the initial nurturing went quite smoothly."

As Lu Nan spoke of these things, her eyes lit up.

Just now in the seedling room, Lu Nan explained to Ge Bai that only a small portion of the spiritual plants in the Spiritual Plant Research Institute are different evolutionary forms of domesticated spiritual plants.

A large portion of them are wild spiritual plants brought out from various secret realms.

Even bringing the spiritual plants out of the secret realm is not as easy as one might imagine, and this first step in the research is far from simple.

Seeing a plant that catches your eye and digging it up with a shovel? That's just wishful thinking.

Not to mention that within the secret space, spiritual plants and spiritual beasts are generally aggressive, and their attack power is generally not weak.

Researchers have also tried to withstand the attacks of the spiritual plants and forcibly bring them out of the secret space.

The plant died as soon as it was tried, and withered rapidly within two days. No matter what methods were used, it was all useless.

Since then, researchers have paid special attention to not only the attributes and skills of wild spiritual plants to determine their research value.

It requires careful attempts to confirm that the spiritual plant is willing to be moved before it can be brought back to the Spiritual Plant Research Institute.

"After we came back, we conducted preliminary tests on Lightning Grass and found out its preferred environment and food. It has grown quite a bit."

"But the development of attack skills has been particularly slow."

Lu Nan looked at the lightning grass with a helpless expression.

"I've seen him generate electricity in the secret space, and it's more powerful than anything we've observed since he came to the research institute."

"Now, his discharges are very irregular. Sometimes the discharge volume is large, and sometimes the discharge volume is small. Because of this instability, his discharges have not met the standards for skill assessment."

"He's still unwilling to form a contract with the spirit plant master!"

The more Lu Nan spoke, the more agitated she became, and she even seemed somewhat aggrieved.

The lightning grass also swayed slightly at the tips of its leaves, which shimmered with blue light.

Upon hearing this, Ge Bai activated the Spirit Plant Communicator skill again and, sure enough, heard the smug voice of the Lightning Grass.

"Hey, that idiot Lu Nan's here again?"

Ge Bai raised an eyebrow. Was there a conflict or a story behind this?

Thinking about it, she casually asked Lu Nan, "That skill is so unreliable, what do you do about it?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Nan suddenly perked up and said to Ge Bai with some pride.

"Let me tell you! I'm incredibly smart!"

"Think about it, the lightning grass's electrical discharge is unstable; the most likely reason is that it doesn't have enough lightning element within it! So what?"

Lu Nan kept everyone in suspense, looking at Ge Bai with a smile.

"So, we need to replenish his lightning element?"

Ge Bai tried to respond.

"right!"

"So, I found a Thunderflame Rabbit to charge the Lightning Grass."

Lu Nan spoke with great pride, but Ge Bai heard Lightning Grass cursing filthily beside him.

"Is this guy an idiot?! How dare he say that?! %…￥%#￥&…%￥#￥#@…&*&"

"How do I charge it?" Ge Bai asked in a low voice.

Seeing that Ge Bai was deliberately lowering his voice and acting cautiously, Lu Nan was a little puzzled, but said casually.

"Just let Flame Bunny use its Thunder-type moves on the Zapdos. That's how Flame Bunny members charge each other up."

Hearing Lightning Grass curse even louder, Ge Bai swallowed hard and asked, "So how's the effect?"

When asked about the results, Lu Nan immediately deflated.

"The effect isn't very good. At first, when the Thunderflame Rabbit was charging the Lightning Grass, it could generate a violent surge in power, but after that, it would become very lethargic."

Lu Nan really didn't understand why the Lightning Grass was shaking even more now.

He pointed at the lightning grass and said to Gobai, "Look, the lightning grass recognizes me. It's greeting us."

Ge Bai was speechless for a moment. "But I do know you. That grass can call you 'Silly Lu Nan' so smoothly."

Lightning Grass was probably wishing he had a mouth right now, otherwise he could have verbally abused Lu Nan until he questioned his existence.

"Hey, little girl! Can you hear me?"

Enraged, Lightning Grass suddenly uttered these words to Gobai.

Ge Bai blinked at him, wondering if he hadn't controlled his expression well.

But she didn't deny it, and coughed lightly.

"I knew you'd understand. Tell him for me that if that rabbit shocks me again, I'm really going to lose it!"

Lightning Grass, emboldened by Gobai's response, perked up.

Ge Bai's spiritual sense stirred, and he transmitted his voice, "Don't be anxious, what's going on? Tell me slowly. Is it that you don't like the Thunderflame Pattern Rabbit?"

"If you were in that situation, would you like it?"

"That rabbit's lightning-based skills contain fire elements, and its discharge is explosive and unstable. How am I supposed to absorb it? Risk my life to absorb it?!"

"Besides! I'm a blade of grass! I don't like rabbits! Not at all!"

"I'll be raised to death by him sooner or later, old man."

"I was so blind back then. He seemed like a good person, and the sweet words he said to me were so appealing. If I had known he was so stupid, I should have electrocuted him when he tried to poach me!"

From Lightning Grass's angry curses, Gobai heard three parts hysteria, three parts deep regret, and two parts sorrow.

"So, what kind of lightning element do you like?"

Lightning Grass was taken aback for a moment, but didn't hesitate much and answered directly.

"Thunderclouds, I love thunderclouds before a storm the most. Back when I lived in the secret space, the air would be filled with strong lightning attributes on thunderstorm days."

Ge Bai, with his sharp eyes, noticed that there was a lot of lightning element ore around the lightning grass, so he asked a question.

"What about lightning elemental ore? I remember that spirit plants can also absorb the energy from elemental ore."

Lightning Grass was probably a bit tired from venting its emotions, and it was feeling lazy right now.

"The concentrate is too high grade and too bulky, making it uncomfortable to absorb. I wish he could break it into pieces, preferably ground into powder."

???

Ge Bai really wanted to ask him, "How did such a delicate old man like you survive in the secret space realm?"

No wonder Lu Nan was able to bring you back.

Sorry everyone, I have to ask for leave again. I'll be updating this afternoon.
