120: Teacher's tasks
"Botanical Garden, Resource-Type, Public Secret Realm."
"This place is a resource-type Secret Realm jointly owned by the Breeding Department and the Combat Department."
"It is not only used to foster Wood-attribute Pet Beasts, but also a fertile land capable of planting various sustainable resources, where precious plant resources thrive."
"When it comes to the high-quality seeds you need, it's no exaggeration to say that everything you could possibly want is here."
"However, successfully obtaining these valuable seeds is not easy; everything depends on whether your own ability is strong enough."
"You can choose to challenge the Pet Beasts of your seniors. If you can defeat them, then you will have the opportunity to ask for some seeds from these Pet Beasts as a reward for victory."
"After all, these Pet Beasts have been fostered here for quite some time, and they will more or less have some seeds in reserve."
After introducing the basic rules, Teacher Lu paused briefly, then earnestly offered a sincere suggestion.
"However, in my experience, I don't really recommend that you easily try to challenge the Pet Beasts of your seniors."
"The reason is simple: the seniors who are required to foster Pet Beasts for the task, their Pet Beasts are very likely powerful existences of the Monarch Tier."
"Unless, of course, you yourself also possess an equally powerful Monarch Tier Pet Beast, then disregard what I just said."
"The latter is to take on some tasks from the teachers. Even if you haven't enrolled yet, taking on some grunt work is not a problem."
"Now, you're on your own. My task is complete, so I'm off."
As soon as the words fell, he slipped away without a trace.
Li Wen: As expected, a professional worker.
Li Wen's gaze swept over the three Pet Beasts. Indeed, as Teacher Snake had said, all of them were of the Monarch Tier.
Emerald Vine King Serpent
attribute: Wood
Species: Mid-level Monarch
growth level: King-Rank Beginner
Energy Value: 2.03 million
trait ①: Vine Poison Symbiosis: All Skills of the Emerald Vine King Serpent possess additional poison elements, allowing them to coexist symbiotically within its body, forming a unique Vine Poison power. In battle, it can flexibly utilize the Growth of Wood elements and the erosion of Poison elements according to the battlefield situation, inflicting fatal blows on enemies.
trait ②: Sunlight Amplification: In any environment with sunlight, it gains Sunlight Amplification. All amplification effects caused by strengthening Skills are doubled. In sunny weather, it will attack in its strongest form, achieving a complete numerical advantage.
Skill ①: Vine Shell: The Emerald Vine King Serpent can use vines to form a high-strength Vine Shell to strengthen its own physical toughness, and after the Vine Shell breaks, its speed increases.
Skill ②: Poison Vine Entanglement: The Emerald Vine King Serpent can release highly poisonous vines to entangle enemies. The Poison Vines not only possess powerful binding force but also continuously release toxins during entanglement, eroding the enemy's body and gradually making them lose their combat ability... This is the third-stage evolution of the Vine Snake, an absolute numerical supremacist. If Lu Chen's special Vine Snake, which already possessed the Growth trait, evolved to this stage, it would be absolutely overpowered.
The level of Skill proficiency will play a decisive role.
The other two were a pure Wood-attribute Violent Forest Ape and a Wood- and Dark-attribute Jungle Hunter Wolf.
Li Wen immediately abandoned the idea of attempting a challenge and honestly went to look at the tasks issued by the teachers.
The Combat Department's tasks were entirely manual labor, which Li Wen temporarily disregarded due to the long time commitment or the strength restrictions.

Issuer: Lin Yan
Li Wen: Okay, good work deserves a reward, still abstract.
"Wait, that's not right!"
"Then what about my 10,000 academic credits? My reward was directly discounted by 90%, I've noted it down."
Lin Yan owes me 9,000 academic credits.
After writing, he contentedly put the small notebook into his pocket.
In a daze, thoughts surged like a tide, and he suddenly remembered that Lin Yan had given him an important task a long time ago.
Without further ado, he quickly summoned Qing Yan and had it transform back into its Huan Ling Die (Phantom Spirit Butterfly) form. He sent the taken photos to Lin Yan, who was far away at the competition venue.
At this moment, the atmosphere at the National Pet-Taming High School Tournament was tense and enthusiastic.
In the preparation area, everyone, including Lin Yan, who usually liked to take paid vacations, was fully focused and meticulously discussing tactics.
It should be known that this competition not only concerned their own reputation and status in the field of education but also the future development prospects of every participating student in the Pet-Taming world, and it carried the honor of their respective schools.
By now, the schedule had advanced to the crucial ranking stage, with only eight strong teams remaining to compete for the final championship.
Therefore, how to formulate an exquisite tactical arrangement to maximize their ranking became the focal point of everyone's attention at this moment.
Just as everyone was immersed in intense discussion, an abrupt notification sound suddenly rang out, breaking the previously focused atmosphere.
Lin Yan stood up with a slight apology and softly said, "Excuse me, everyone, please take a short break and continue your discussion. I'll go out and check a message first."
With that, he quickly walked out the door.
The others didn't pay much attention to this. After a brief pause, they resumed their tactical discussion.
Outside the door, Lin Yan eagerly opened his phone. When he saw the photo from afar, he immediately felt a rush of blood to his head, and his blood pressure instantly soared.
He widened his eyes, his face a mixture of shock and excitement, and then, unable to suppress his inner agitation, he rushed back into the room.
