"Howl 0^)"
The cub howled at Su Bai, indicating that it needed spiritual power.
"Come and drink this!"
He quickly poured the last bottle of potion into the cub's bowl. Purple Jade lowered its head and directly drank the potion, which increased the spiritual power in its body. Seeing this, the Little Bloodworm trembled in fright.
"Howl~"
With a howl, the spiritual power in the cub's body shrank and its aura became much stronger.
It had broken through to the warlord level.
"Howl~(?^?)"
With its head held high, the cub walked up to him full of aura. Look, Ah Bai, I'm much stronger than that little bug, aren't I? I've even awakened a new kill.
"Okay, you're the best."
Su Bai picked it up and caressed it. Its warlord fur now felt much smoother and softer, while its body was now more comfortable to the touch.
"Howl! (づ)ど)"
The cub's body weakened as Su Bai caressed it, and it lay in his arms limply, licking his hand with its pink tongue.
It had awakened a new skill called the Wood Spirit Replacement, which once activated, could instantly swap positions with other plants in its domain. However, it was limited to its domain.
"Okay, okay. You two are both very good and very strong. You're my favorite cuties. Since we won't be training tomorrow, can I take you to an amusement park, instead?"
Su Bai caressed the two with his hands. It had been quite a while since both were born, and he had been training them nonstop without going out to play; thus, he decided to take them to see the world.
"Howl?"
Amusement park? Was it a place with lots of fun?
The cub widened its eyes as it stared at its owner. Purple Jade had seen some videos online and thought that theme parts were fun places. Does Ah Bai really want to take us to one?
"Yes, it's the same amusement park you saw in that video." The boy touched its head and affirmed this.
The Little Tyrant did not really care much, but it was indeed nice to go out and play.
Extremely excited, the cub hugged Su Bai's neck with its two front paws and kept licking his chin with its little pink tongue while its head rubbed constantly against his.
Su Bai also took advantage of his pet's joy to caress it, especially its soft belly, again. The cub howled and almost weakened him with its cuteness.
He decided to shoot a video and share it with his girlfriend to make her jealous.
Chen Rouxue: "Ahhh! I'm dead. It's too cute. Let me caress it tomorrow, too~"
The girl was extremely envious. Her pet was not cute at all and even felt cold to the touch.
Su Bai replied, "Let's see how my mood is."
"Wow, you've changed. I originally wanted to invite you to bungee-jump as lovers. I'm feeling sad now. (╥_╥)"
Upon hearing that, the boy immediately changed his attitude."I'm just joking with you. Remember to praise this lassie, then she'll let you caress her."
Su Bai chatted with Chen Rouxue for half an hour while caressing the cub. Eventually, they ended the video-call and he put down his phone.
"Let's go downstairs to eat."
...
In the blink of an eye, it was early the next morning. Su Bai brought the cub and the Little Tyrant to the pet center. They were a little excited because they would be heading to the amusement park later today.
Soon, Chen Ruoxue brought Xiao Bai over.
"Wow, is this Purple Jade at the warlord level? She's so cute! Can you let me hug her?" The girl made a beeline for the cub as soon as she came over.
"Howl~"
The cub glanced at her, and then at its owner. Sigh... I will sacrifice myself for the sake of Ah Bai and let her hug me.
"Wow, her hair is so silky; it's smoother than silk!" exclaimed Chen Rouxue in shock while holding her boyfriend's pet.
"Hehe! ⊙〈⊙"
Big Demon shed tears of sadness. Love had indeed faded.
"Let's go to the Blue Moon Cultivation House first, " Su Bai said.
"Okay, have you checked the shortlisted reserve players of the Cannes juvenile team that Chen Bo sent yesterday?"
Chen Rouxue asked while on the way.
"Yeah, only two or three people from our team were shortlisted." He nodded.
Each of the ten counties and districts in Cannes had such a spring festival competition. In the end, only three players from each team would be shortlisted.
Ten players from each county and district meant thirty people, plus the twenty selected from the urban area. In total, there were fifty reserve players.
In the final selection, they would choose five official players and five substitutes among the fifty candidates. A total of ten individuals would make up the Cannes juvenile team.
"Although the next selection method hasn't been announced yet, the competition among the shortlisted players is bound to be fierce. Right now, these fifty candidates are still average Pet Tamers with warlord pets, " Chen Rouxue said.
"They're probably all cultivating a second pet, since only having one pet makes it easy for others to eliminate them due to that pet's attribute restraints, but it's all right; we're not afraid. Our energy exhaustion-recovery routine is still foolproof."
Su Bai nodded in agreement. They should not be afraid of such things.
They called a Flying Bird and soon arrived at the Blue Moon Cultivation House.
"Hello, teacher." They quickly greeted Hou Jie.
"Good morning. Su Bai, you won't come here without Rouxue, right?" The female teacher gave the boy a sideways glance. He had not come to this place for a month.
"No, it's just that I've been busy studying and training lately and didn't have much time. I came here this time with the thought of quitting my job here as a cultivation adviser. I'm often not in the store, so I'm too embarrassed to be paid."
Su Bai followed Hou Jie as she walked into the backyard.
"That's nothing to be embarrassed about. With your pet trainer certificate, you can get 50, 000 yuan a month. You're not allowed to resign from your job."
The teacher took a picture of the youth and gave him some information."You came here to pick the skills for the Little Tyrant, right? These are the fire, earth, and undead skills that I have. Take a look for yourself. When you finally make your choice, tell me. The gift I mentioned last time is a free skill, so you can choose as you wish."
"Wow! Thank you, teacher." Su Bai immediately thanked her.
"I prepared the things you want to buy. Just call me later when you're done, and I'll show you the items."
Hou Jie spread her hands and then turned to her female student."Are you buying a skill, too?"
Chen Rouxue shook her head."I came here to accompany Su Bai. Later, he'll help me prepare some medicinal cakes."
She originally wanted to buy a skill, but after receiving the Shadow Curse skill yesterday, coupled with Big Demon's awakened skill from being promoted to the warlord level, she had no need for a new skill in the meantime.
"That's okay. Choose first; I'll go out and do something."
Hou Jie nodded and turned to leave.
Su Bai picked up the materials and took a good look at them. The cub did not need any skill now, so he picked two good skills for the Little Tyrant.
After walking around, he finally made a decision. He chose two skills this time: a fire-undead dual attribute skill and an undead attribute skill.
This fire-undead attribute was based on the fire attribute and was called the Blighted Fireball. It was a fire-condensing technique, an intermediate skill that gathered immense power to form a fireball.
The Blighted Fireball technique integrated the undead attribute's blighted power with the fire attribute's explosive power. When launched, it would look like any ordinary fireball, but the ensuing explosion would hugely damage a large area.
The heat of the flame and the blighted power of the undead would also cause secondary damage to the enemy, especially the particularly terrifying threat to life of the undead attribute.
The other undead skill was called Bury, which was a concealment skill that, once activated, would make one's aura disappear. Just like death, it was difficult to be discovered.
"Rouxue, what do you think about these two skills?" Su Bai showed them to her.
Chen Rouxue looked up and said, "Hmm... It's not bad, but it's expensive, especially the Blighted Fireball. Even the internal price of the intermediate skill is 300, 000 yuan, and the other Bury skill is 150, 000 yuan. You're really rich, so you don't feel distressed about that anymore."
"Of course, money is useless, so I'm actually no longer interested in it. I think it's very profitable to buy these two skills, instead."
Su Bai raised his eyebrow and smiled.
"Then get these two. I see that you have lots of money to spend. I won't be able to support you if you can't even afford to eat." Chen Ruoxue shrugged.
"Oh, you're done choosing. Just give me 150, 000 yuan. I'll give the other skill to you as a gift."
Hou Jie walked over and took a look.
"Teacher, that's not very good..."
Before he could finish his words, his teacher spread her hands."Don't think about the 300, 000 yuan; it's just small money to me. My special lipstick is even more expensive than that.
"Furthermore, the cultivation house makes an average of several million a day. I really don't lack money, so don't even think of paying back that one million. I really don't enjoy being a creditor."
Su Bai: "..."
This was so inhumane. She was being a teacher just to experience life.
Chen Rouxue was speechless.
No wonder the color of the teacher's lipstick was so pretty; it turned out to be more than 300, 000 yuan.
"Don't promote it in school, though." Hou Jie blinked at the two of them."Come with me; I brought you the things you wanna buy. Take a look and see if it's appropriate."
"Okay."
The couple followed their teacher. Looking at Hou Jie's outfit, it appeared to be plain-looking. However, it was definitely some unknown but outrageously expensive customized model.
Thinking about how rich the people around him were, Su Bai sighed.
"How about this backpack? It's made of the Universe Rat's fur. It has a total capacity of about three cubic meters, and no matter how many things you put in it, the weight is the same, " Hou Jie said.
The Universe Rat was a special space monster. Its fur backpack was similar to a small space bag, but it was not as magical as the space bag in fantasy novels.
All things loaded had to be taken by hand, and there was no way to put anything larger than the opening of the backpack.
Su Bai bought it because the small backpack he usually used to enter the Scarlet Monster Wilderness was not enough, so he requested Hou Jie for help in purchasing it.
He picked it up and took a look, stretching out his hand to try it. This was not a completely large space but was divided into different small compartments. The largest primary slot could hold about five or six kettles at once.
The internal structure was very good, too. As for the appearance, Hou Jie's taste was naturally not bad and it was very good-looking as a small backpack.
Chen Rouxue looked at it and nodded in approval.
"How much is this?" asked Su Bai.
"500, 000 yuan." Hou Jie spread her hands.
Su Bai: Σ(?∀?ノ)ノ
"You said at the beginning that it must be less than 500, 000 yuan, so I bought this for you using my connections, or else it would cost at least 700, 000 or 800, 000 yuan in the market. Space-based stuff isn't cheap, you know."
Hou Jie shrugged.
"Okay, then. Thank you again, teacher."
Nodding, Su Bai handed the backpack to Chen Rouxue."Teacher, my family recently opened a large manor. I plan to plant some temporary spiritual plants or fruits. Do you need it in the store?"
He had asked the Trainer Association before but it was to no avail. Those seniors were willing to help him, but those people had spiritual fields worth tens of millions of yuan and only wanted some very special and rare spiritual plants.
"Hmm, I think we can cooperate. I'm planning to open a branch in Carp Town. Your family can supply me with special supplies. It's a bit expensive to obtain some consumable spiritual plants and fruits from dealers.
"If you're insured there, I can actually obtain the materials I'm selling in this store from you, but I'm afraid that it won't be insured."
Hou Jie rubbed her chin slowly.
"Oh, it's like this..." Su Bai gave a general overview of the manor's situation.
"If there are cracks in the stable space, it'll indeed be more stable. Just give me your parents' phone number. I'll send someone to check it out. How about we sign the contract if we can?"
Although Hou Jie did not care about money, she was more cautious about business matters.
"Of course."
He nodded and gave her his father's number.
After talking about this matter, he took his girlfriend to see their teacher's younger brother, Hou Lan.
"This is the Little Tyrant? It's really good; isn't this a mutation?" The young man stopped working to inquire.
"Yes, I hatched it according to the incubation plan given by my master." Su Bai nodded.
"No wonder. The plan given by Elder Gao must have no problem." Hou Lan nodded.
After they chatted for a while, Su Bai attempted to pay back the money he owed. However, the young man also showed him his nine-figure savings, telling him how rich he was and how insignificant that one million to him was.
"Hahaha! Are you shocked?"
In the laboratory, Chen Rouxue touched Su Bai's face and asked with a smile.
"It's more than that! I deeply feel the malice in this world and only my girlfriend can warm my soul at this time."
He exclaimed and tried hugging the girl.
"Dream on." She dodged and smiled."Quickly prepare the potion; then we'll bungee-jump together as a couple. It'll surely warm your soul."
"Howl~"
The cub also urged Su Bai to hurry up. It wanted to have fun at the amusement park; they had already wasted a lot of time here.
"Okay, okay. Don't worry." He already understood his identity as a tool.
After writing the list of materials and obtaining them from Hou Jie, he returned to the laboratory to make medicinal cakes.
