The green caterpillar put down the branch and looked at the village elder with a puzzled face.
Although it is a little stupid, it shouldn’t be difficult to learn to count, right?
You must know that the owner has taught it for almost a day, and it already had the concept of numbers before. Numbers often appear in human language, and it will understand a little bit over time.
The only problem is that it is learning to count backwards. It always feels that its brain cannot turn, so it has never been able to do it well.
The green caterpillar was still thinking when he saw the village elder taking out the elf ball.
Along with a ray of red light, a sturdy fighting elf appeared. It was Old Man Qian's strange power.
Old Man Qian looked at Guai Li and said, "Check the number. It should be over twenty."
Guai Li scratched his head and without thinking too much, he followed his master's instructions and looked up the number.
Different from the pre-evolutionary power and wrist strength, the evolved Wei Li not only becomes more muscular, but also has two more arms on the back.
And this directly doubles the statistical range of Wei Li.
I saw Guai Li fiddling with his twenty fingers and muttering. When he found that the number was not enough, he quickly sat on the ground and fiddled with his four toes.
Although there are five fingers on Guai Li's palms, there are only two toes on the soles of his feet.
Just like that, as the count reached twenty-four, the strange power suddenly stopped and fell into a dazed state similar to a brain shutdown.
Old Man Qian looked at Wei Li who was sitting on the ground and cracking his toes. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he turned to look at Mark's green caterpillar.
This is a green caterpillar!
Although the monsters have strong limbs and a simple mind, they are not even inferior to the green caterpillars.
Old man Qian, who has been running the green caterpillar breeding base in Qingxi Village for many years, has a deep understanding of the intelligence of green caterpillars.
To say that the green caterpillar's intelligence is equal to that of the Magikarp is to insult the green caterpillar, but even if the green caterpillar's intelligence is stronger than that of the Magikarp, it is not much better and is far below the average elf IQ.
Among all the elves, Guaili's IQ can barely reach the average level.
Suddenly, Old Man Qian noticed something. He saw the pattern written on the ground by the green caterpillar holding a wooden stick not long ago.
Although they look crooked, these patterns are clearly numerical symbols.
Not only did you learn to look up numbers, but you also learned to write numbers?
Is this a green caterpillar?
Old Man Qian looked at the green caterpillar again, and saw the green caterpillar approaching Wei Li, and he was very enthusiastic in giving guidance to Wei Li to count, and he didn't seem to have the slightest bit of pride or complacency.
Old Man Qian took a deep breath unconsciously.
He did realize that Mark's green caterpillar was smarter than ordinary green caterpillars, but he never thought it would be so smart.
Reminiscent of the green caterpillar's excellent [collision] skills in the yard a few days ago, coupled with the size and strength of the ordinary green caterpillar, plus the fact that Mark, this kid, takes the green caterpillar to Qingxi Forest every day, training as hard as an ascetic.
.
The weather, the right location, and the right people are all in perfect harmony.
As long as this continues, this green caterpillar will definitely have a promising future.
Even if Mark fails to pass the Elf Academy in the future, when this green caterpillar evolves into a big butterfly, Mark can easily join an insect gym at the level of a small town, and then naturally become an official trainer.
Although it is impossible to compare with Qian Erniu and Lin Tong, Mark's life is already guaranteed.
Old Man Qian's thoughts were changing all the time, but Mark didn't notice it, he just thought there was something wrong with his approach.
He walked up to the old man Qian who had been stunned for a while and asked doubtfully: "Village chief, are there any problems if I let the green caterpillar learn mathematics?"
Old Man Qian came to his senses and wanted to praise him, but after thinking about it he gave up.
At Mark's age, it is the time to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. If you praise him too much, it can easily have the opposite effect.
He rubbed the stubble on his chin and said: "Is there a problem... No problem at the moment. You can continue to follow your method, but you must pay attention to the intensity of actual training and don't let your green caterpillar overdraw your body or suffer any injuries."
Permanent damage. As for how you just taught the green caterpillar to count backwards, you have seen my strange power. In fact, this is also an area that I am not very good at."
A few meters away, Guai Li, who was still cracking his fingers, heard something and looked at his master with some confusion. He saw old man Qian holding up the elf ball.
A red light flashed, and strange power was absorbed into it.
The green caterpillar came over with a curious expression, staring intently at the elf ball containing strange powers.
Old Man Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, thought of something, touched the green caterpillar's head and said, "You like Poke Balls very much?"
"Hiss!"
Old Man Qian smiled slightly: "If you like it so much, well, if you can learn to count backwards, I will help your owner fund half of your elf ball. However, what I said about counting backwards is just counting.
No, you have to write it on the ground with a wooden stick like you just did, and you can’t write it crookedly."
"Hiss!"
The green caterpillar jumped excitedly onto Old Qian's shoulders and rubbed Old Qian's cheek.
Mark glared at the smug Green Caterpillar and walked up to Old Man Qian, "Village Chief, you don't have to do this. Regarding the Green Caterpillar's Poké Ball, I myself..."
Before Mark could finish his words, he was interrupted by Old Man Qian waving his hand.
Old Man Qian had a straight face, soothed the lost green caterpillar twice with his hands and said: "Cultivating an elf is like nurturing a child. What I just said has given it expectations. If you directly dispel its expectations like this, you know you will give it
How much negative impact does it bring?
The matter is settled like this, as long as it can figure out counting backwards and write it down with a wooden stick, I will fund half of its Poké Ball.
Green Caterpillar, do you have confidence?"
"Hiss!!"
The green caterpillar jumped down from Old Man Qian's shoulder, first made a determined pose, and then immediately picked up the small wooden stick from before, started writing and drawing on the dirt floor, and entered a state of hard study.
Old Man Qian glanced at Mark, gently rubbed the stubble on his chin, and showed a half-smiling expression.
Although Mark's performance gave him the feeling of being replaced by a new generation, Mark is obviously still far behind in terms of experience in cultivating elves.
Old Man Qian said: "I'm not very good at teaching green caterpillars to count backwards, but you can learn this method of motivating elves. I can see that your green caterpillars are very sensible, but they must also take advantage of the situation.
, study and exercise with different mentality, the results are often very different."
Mark glanced at the green caterpillar writing on the ground, and then looked at the rising experience bar on the spiritual master's panel.
After some encouragement from Old Man Qian, the Green Caterpillar's experience bar increase rate through learning mathematics increased by at least 30%.
Mark nodded solemnly and said: "I learned it, thank you for your advice, but the elf ball is still..."
Mark's words were interrupted again by Old Man Qian waving his hand.
"Even if it's my support for you and the Green Caterpillar, I am the head of Qingxi Village. Shouldn't I help the potential young people in the village?
In fact, if I weren't afraid that you would become dependent on my funding, I could directly fund a Poké Ball once the green caterpillar completes the conditions.
Okay, we have been delayed a lot. You and the Green Caterpillar haven't eaten, so we will just have a quick meal and then go to the village school to report.
By the way, when it comes to eating, the more you eat, the better. Eighty percent... no, seventy percent full is enough..."
