Tang Tian thought to himself:
"Yes, yes, you are strong, and your hair is disheveled."
"And then what happened?"
"His wife is gone, so he hides in this small village, forging iron and drinking, making a decent living."
"I'm good-looking, why shouldn't I use it?"
"Let's go straight for the gigolo route!"
"If I encounter Qian Renxue in the future, I might be able to take her down without shedding a drop of blood."
Of course, Tang Tian only thought these things to himself.
He finished the last mouthful of porridge and wiped his mouth.
"I'm full, I'm going out to cultivate."
Tang San watched his elder brother's retreating figure.
He glanced at his own clothes, a rough cloth outfit he had casually worn for work, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Could it be that my brother really suffered too much of a blow?
Has his personality changed drastically?
However, looking at the older brother's confident stride...
Tang San felt that his familiar older brother was still there.
"Forget it, I should go and cultivate the Purple Demon Eye too."
Tang San shook his head.
They ran towards the mountaintop behind the village.
The two brothers parted ways at the village entrance.
One ascends to higher places, seeking the auspicious purple aura coming from the east.
One of them walked deeper into the village and entered the sparse grove of trees at the village entrance.
As a man who possesses a system.
Tang Tian must forge his own path.
He did not rely entirely on the system.
Although he knew that the system was his greatest advantage.
However, if one acts as a host without giving it much thought...
Wouldn't that make you a puppet of the system?
"Since my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, traditional meditation methods may not be entirely suitable for me."
"There must be a more efficient method of cultivation!"
Tang Tian stepped onto the soft soil.
He recalled the setting of Douluo Continent in his mind.
"I seem to remember a concept called mimicry cultivation."
"Although it is not common, the principle is actually very simple."
"It means placing the Soul Master in an environment that suits their Martial Soul attribute."
For fire-attribute martial souls, volcanoes are the best simulated environment.
For water-attribute martial souls, great rivers are paradise.
For ice-attribute martial souls, extremely cold places are beneficial for cultivation.
As for Blue Silver Grass...
This forest is overgrown with wild grass.
Isn't it just a low-budget version of a simulated training ground?
After all, blue silver grass is the most common plant.
Just like Pikachu from Pokémon, they can be seen everywhere.
"If I could establish some kind of connection between my martial spirit and these wild blue silver grasses around me..."
Even if each plant can only provide me with a little bit of energy.
"When they come together, they shouldn't be underestimated!"
This is what Tang Tian thought of last night—
[Blue Silver Grass Patching Project]!
Do it as soon as you think of it.
Tang Tian found a patch of grass where the blue silver grass was most lush and sat down cross-legged.
He took a deep breath and summoned his martial spirit.
A pale blue light shone.
After yesterday's increase in favorability.
The leaves of that blue silver grass had become noticeably more translucent.
Little Blue appeared directly in his palm.
Tang Tianqing cleared his throat and said:
"Little Blue, look around."
"These are all your kind."
"Although they lack intelligence, they are still members of the Blue Silver Grass family."
"Try to release your breath, feel it, and greet it."
"If you can get them to obey you."
"If you help us gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, our cultivation speed will definitely take off!"
The plan is perfect.
The logic is sound.
However, reality is harsh.
Several minutes passed, and there was still no response.
The blue silver grass just kept wrapping around his palm!
Tang Tian looked at the system panel with a sense of frustration.
But it almost made him spit out a mouthful of blood.
Blue Silver Grass is a socially anxious and gloomy plant.
The moment I heard that I should communicate with other people of the same kind.
The entire grass froze.
She clung tightly to Tang Tian's finger, shaking her head desperately, tears welling up in her eyes.
Blue Silver Grass (Timid):
No, you can't!
Wow, so much grass!
I don't know them, and I can't speak!
What if I greet someone and they ignore me?
What if they think I'm a freak?
I can't do it, I really can't...
Master... don't force me...
I want to go home...
[Waaaaah...]
In Xiao Lan's imagination.
Wild blue silver grass swayed in the wind all around, looking harmless to humans and animals.
It was as if a bunch of whispering passersby were pointing and gossiping about her.
That suffocating sense of oppression.
It almost made her faint.
Tang Tian: "..."
I was careless.
He only considered theoretical feasibility.
But they forgot that their own martial spirit's persona is that of a top-tier socially awkward person!
This is like forcibly throwing a shut-in into a stadium with tens of thousands of people.
Asking him to give an impromptu speech is bound to backfire!
In the sea of the spirit.
The little hammer emitted a mocking vibration without any mercy.
[Little Hammer:]
[Pfft—Hahahaha!]
[This is hilarious!]
Is this your beloved little darling?
[Even communicating with these mindless weeds terrifies you this much?]
[They're utterly hopeless!]
A true strong person remains unfazed even when facing a massive army!
With such a fragile spirit, I'm destined to be a potted plant for the rest of my life!
Faced with Little Hammer's taunts and Blue Silver Grass's collapse.
Tang Tian was not angry.
on the contrary.
His gaze became somewhat complicated, even carrying a hint of nostalgia.
once Upon a time.
Wasn't he the same in his past life?
Afraid of being called on to answer questions...
I'm afraid of having to introduce myself in class...
I'm afraid of class reunions...
When dining out, I hesitate to even call the waiter to order!
That suffocating feeling that comes from being overly concerned about what others think!
He understands it all too well.
But after the arduous training of Galgame!
He has successfully transformed!
He's already a master of Galgames!
If you treat this world like a visual novel, what is there to be afraid of?
"call..."
Tang Tian let out a soft breath.
Extend your hand.
He stroked the Blue Silver Grass that was still trembling in his palm.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Lan."
"It was my oversight; I was too hasty."
"If you don't want to talk, then don't talk; if you don't want to pay attention to them, then ignore them."
"We don't need to please anyone."
"There's no need to force yourself to fit into that circle."
"As long as I'm by your side, that's enough, isn't it?"
With Tang Tian's reassurance.
Little Blue finally stopped trembling.
She lifted the small leaf and stared at Tang Tian.
After confirming that Tang Tian was not just giving her a perfunctory answer.
Only then did I relax.
Since the "sticking plan" has failed.
Then we need to change our approach.
Tang Tian looked up at the sky.
See the sunlight filtering through the leaves.
What is the most instinctive talent of a plant?
It's photosynthesis!
"Little Blue".
Tang Tian spoke again.
This time, the tone was more relaxed and guiding:
"Since we don't like socializing, let's be quiet and beautiful girls."
Try to stretch your body and embrace the sunshine.
"Eat to your heart's content, absorb as much as you want, and turn it into your own power."
"This shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
I heard that I don't need to talk to strangers.
All you need to do is sunbathe.
Blue Silver Grass was clearly relieved.
For her, it felt just as comfortable as staying at home.
Is it enough to just... sunbathe?
"This... I think I can..."
[If it's for the master...]
The next moment.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
