"Huh?"

The green caterpillar put down the branch and looked at the village elder with a puzzled face.

It's a bit stupid, but it shouldn't be hard to learn to count, right?

You must know that the master has been teaching it for almost a day, and it has the concept of numbers before, and numbers often appear in human language, and over time it will understand a little.

The only problem is that it is now learning to count backwards, and it always feels that its brain can't turn, so it can't get it right.

The green caterpillar was still thinking about it, and he saw the village elder take out the Poke Ball.

With a red light, a sturdy fighting spirit appeared, which was the strange power of Old Man Qian.

Old man Qian looked at Wei Li and said, "You check the number, you have to find more than twenty." ”

Strange force scratched his head, and without thinking too much, he followed his master's instructions to check and count.

Different from the heroic strength and wrist strength before the evolution, the evolved monster power has not only become more robust, but also has two more arms on the back.

And this directly doubles the statistical range of the strange force.

I saw the strange force fiddle with his twenty fingers, muttering on his lips, and soon found that the number was not enough, and quickly sat on the ground, and went to fiddle with its four toes.

Although the palm of the strange force has five fingers, the sole of the foot has only two toes.

In this way, as the count reached twenty-four, the strange force suddenly froze, and fell into a state of confusion similar to brain downtime.

Old man Qian looked at the strange force of breaking his toes sitting on the ground, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then turned his head to look at Mark's green caterpillar.

It's a green caterpillar!

Although the monster has developed limbs and is simple-minded, it is not so much that even the green caterpillar can't compare.

The old man Qian, who has been running the green caterpillar breeding base in Qingxi Village all the year round, has a deep understanding of the intelligence of green caterpillars.

To say that the intelligence of the green caterpillar is equal to that of the king carp is an insult to the green caterpillar, but even if the intelligence of the green caterpillar is stronger than that of the king carp, it is not much stronger, far below the average IQ of the elves.

And the IQ of the strange force is barely able to reach the average line among all the elves.

Suddenly, Old Man Qian noticed something, and he saw the pattern that the green caterpillar wrote on the ground with a wooden stick not long ago.

Although it may seem crooked, these patterns are clearly number symbols.

Not only did you learn to count, but you also learned to write numbers?

What the hell is this a green caterpillar?

Old man Qian looked at the green caterpillar again, and saw the green caterpillar coming to the side of the strange force, very enthusiastic to point out the strange force and count, and it didn't seem to be a little proud and complacent.

Old man Qian gasped unconsciously.

He did perceive that Mark's green caterpillars were more intelligent than normal green caterpillars, but never expected to be so intelligent.

Thinking of the excellent [impact] skills of the green caterpillar in the yard a few days ago, coupled with the body shape and strong body that surpassed the ordinary green caterpillar, plus the fact that this kid Mark took the green caterpillar to the Qingxi Forest every day and exercised hard like an ascetic.

The time, the place, the people, all three.

As long as it continues like this, this green caterpillar will definitely have a promising future.

Even if Mark fails to be admitted to the Elf Academy in the future, when this green caterpillar evolves into a Ba Da Butterfly, Mark can easily join a small town-level insect gym, and then become a formal trainer naturally.

Although it is impossible to compare with Qian Erniu and Lin Tong, Mark's life is already guaranteed.

Old man Qian's mind turned back and forth, but Mark didn't notice it, he just thought that something was wrong with his approach.

He walked up to Old Man Qian, who had been stunned for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Village Chief, if I let the green caterpillar learn mathematics, will there be any problems?" ”

Old man Qian came back to his senses and had the heart to praise him, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Mark's age is a period of guarding against arrogance and rashness, and if you praise too much, it can easily have the opposite effect.

He rubbed the stubble on his chin and said, "Is that a problem...... Not for the time being, you can continue to follow your method, but pay attention to the intensity of actual combat training, don't let your green caterpillar overdraw the body, or suffer any permanent damage, as for what you just said about how to teach 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, the strange force who was still folding his fingers heard something, and looked at his master with some blankness, and saw the old man Qian holding up the Poke Ball.

A flash of red light flashed, and the strange power was contained in it.

The green caterpillar approached curiously, staring intently at the Poké Ball with strange powers.

Old man Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, thought of something, touched the head of the green caterpillar and said, "You like Poke Balls very much?" ”

"Hiss!"

Old man Qian smiled slightly: "Since you like it so much, well, if you can learn to count backwards, I will help your master fund half of your Poké Ball, however, I said counting backwards, just counting is not good, you have to write it on the ground with a wooden stick like just now, and you can't write crookedly." ”

"Hiss!"

The green caterpillar jumped excitedly on Old Man Qian's shoulders and rubbed Old Man Qian's cheeks.

Mark glared at the green caterpillar who got carried away, and walked up to Old Man Qian, "Village Chief, you don't need to be like this, I ...... about the green caterpillar's Poke Ball"

Before Mark could finish his words, he was interrupted by Old Man Qian's wave.

Old man Qian had a straight face, and comforted the lost green caterpillar twice with his hand and said: "Cultivating elves is like cultivating children, what I just said has given it expectations, you directly dispel its expectations like this, do you know how much negative impact it will bring?"

It was settled, as long as it could figure out how to count backwards and write it down with a stick, I would contribute half of its Poké Balls.

Green caterpillar, do you have confidence? ”

"Hiss!!"

The green caterpillar jumped down from Old Man Qian's shoulder, first put on a posture of determination, and then immediately picked up the small wooden stick from before, wrote and drew 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 an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Although Mark's performance made him feel like a new generation of people replacing old people, Mark was obviously much worse in terms of experience in cultivating elves.

Old man Qian said: "I am not very good at how to teach the green caterpillar to count backwards, but this method of mobilizing the enthusiasm of the elves, you can learn it, I can see that your green caterpillar is very sensible, but you should also take advantage of the situation, learn and exercise with different attitudes, and the effect is often very different." ”

Mark glanced at the green caterpillar that was writing and drawing on the ground, and then looked at the rising experience bar on the Soul Master's panel.

After some encouragement from Old Man Qian, the growth rate of the experience bar generated by the green caterpillar through learning mathematics increased by at least thirty percent.

Mark nodded solemnly and said, "I learned, thank you for your advice, but that Poke Ball is still ......"

Mark's words were interrupted again by Old Man Qian's wave.

"Even if it's my sponsorship for you and the green caterpillar, I'm the head of Qingxi Village, shouldn't I help the young people in the village with potential?

In fact, if it weren't for the fear that you would become dependent on my funding, when the green caterpillar completes the conditions, I can directly fund a Poké Ball.

Okay, the time has been delayed a lot, you and the green caterpillar haven't eaten, let's have a simple meal, and then report to the school in the village.

By the way, when it comes to eating, it's not that the more you eat, the better, eight points... No, it's okay to be full at seven......"
