Chapter 185: The Growth of the Little Friends
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Heart of the Sun was exchanged in school. It cost 600 credits and a Cla.s.s B Exchange Certificate.
One word, expensive.
Even if he accepted missions on the school platform, it would take him a month to acc.u.mulate the amount needed — if he couldn’t find any high-value missions.
But Su Hao was a busy person.
He was busy contracting sprites, partic.i.p.ating in the Sprite Cultivator Cup, and settling the construction of the laboratory… He didn’t have time to take on those wanted missions.
There was no need to either.
Whale Island University’s representative team had won the champions.h.i.+p for the Sprite Cultivator Cup.
.
Su Hao wasn’t the team leader, but he had the highest contribution points. The rewards he received were very generous.
Reward: 3 million.
It was considered a basic reward.
It would be strange if most students didn’t value it…
Only experts and masters who weren’t short of money didn’t care about a mere few million yuan.
Apart from money, the organizers also gave each of them a set of rare books.
— Great works written by grandmasters and masters that may not even exist in Whale Island University’s library!
When he got the book, he was even instructed not to share with others… Su Hao was even more satisfied.
This meant that it was full of exclusive experience and knowledge.
Then, there was the support for his experiments.
Lin Xueguang had also received some funds. He planned to build a temporary team and carry out a special experiment after returning to school.
The above were the official rewards for the Sprite Cultivator Cup.
Whale Island University also rewarded them with credits.
Su Hao received 2000 credits and one Cla.s.s A Exchange Roll.
Awesome!
“There are credits again!”
But the bulk of the rewards he received weren’t these.
It was the reward from the thesis “Spirit Power Solidification”!
This thesis not only shocked the entire Dragon Nation’s Sprite Cultivation World, but its influence and sensationalism far exceeded the discovery of the Reverie b.u.t.terfly evolution pathway back then.
It was just that the news didn’t spread widely.
“Spirit Power Solidification” and “Spiritual Force Solidification” were techniques that could only be learned at the mid to high levels.
It wouldn’t be announced to the public.
There were no interviews either… At first, there were, but they were rejected by Master Yao’s suggestion.
And lowered its popularity.
Su Hao thought about it and agreed.
The external environment wasn’t safe enough, it was better to keep a low profile…
“Although our light is too bright, I’m just afraid it can’t be hidden anymore.”
But now, he more or less had some self-protection abilities. When dealing with ordinary elite-levels, his… sprite could KO them with two slashes, not too bad.
At most, he wouldn’t go anywhere out of the New World city anymore.
In any case, he didn’t lack resources for the time being.
Su Hao counted the rewards from the thesis.
“You can choose five rare treasures.”
The item list is even higher quality than back then.
There was a Heart of Attributes inside, a complete one.
There was also the Heart of the Sun that he needed.
As for the others…
He coveted a lot of them, but he didn’t need them for the time being.
Su Hao kept the opportunity to claim them in the future when he needed it.
“Apart from treasures, the paper on spirit power consolidation also brought in subsequent income…”
It was similar to selling improved unique skills. If someone bought it, there would be benefits.
But the percentage was not that high.
The officials took the bulk.
He took a small portion of the profits.
Dragon City University could also get some—their early work contributions couldn’t be denied.
“Without the directions given by Dragon City University and the opinions of the other masters, I wouldn’t have hit the unlocking requirements. Besides, without the platform provided by Dragon Nation, I can’t sell it even if I have the technology.”
“The solidification of spirit power is also a high-end knowledge. Even if it’s just a little, it’s still a lot of money.”
“Many universities will probably introduce it in the early stages. By then, there will be a large sum of income.”
Su Hao was already very satisfied.
One shouldn’t be too greedy and be content.
He logged into his account in the Union.
[Name: Su Hao]
[Authority: Level 8]
[Level: High-level Sprite Cultivator, Elite-level Sprite Trainer]
During the winter break of his third year in high school, he had a level 4 authority. Before the Sprite Cultivator Cup, he had a level 5 authority. But now, his mandate went from level 5 to level 8 in one go, even higher than that of many master-level Sprite Trainers.
High authority was speaking on the Union forum, s.h.i.+ning brightly.
Su Hao felt a little ashamed.
Apart from that, many limited edition items were open to him.
For example, he could buy the Heart of Attributes with money.
12 million yuan each. However, he needed to make an appointment, and he could buy up to three a year.
He didn’t look at anything else.
“I heard that high authorization still has many conveniences, but I’m just an ordinary… slightly special first-year student after all, I can’t come into contact with them.”
…
At the villa.
b.u.t.terfly leaned against the sofa and continued to practice the “spiritual orb”.
The three white orbs were triangular and fixed on its small head, near its antennae.
Like a white hats.
Under it sat a jade-like treasure.
The treasure was about the size of two fingers, and its color was similar to a pearl. It was the Marrow Jade that could nurture spirit power.
It was considered a pretty precious treasure.
It didn’t lose to the Heart of the Sun.
Su Hao remembered that it was given to the little rascal by a master surnamed w.a.n.g.
The Marrow Jade was kept close to its body, and b.u.t.terfly was constantly strengthening the “spiritual orb”. Its spirit powers improved significantly every day.
“I’m going out. If you have time, supervise the playful bear more, in case it doesn’t know what to do again.”
“Gurgle~”
b.u.t.terfly waved.
Su Hao closed the door of the villa, summoned the Water Unicorn Beast that was strolling in the garden, and got on the horse.
“Neighhh ~”
The Water Unicorn Beast raised its hooves and charged into the sky step by step.
…
It was winter again.
The cold wind blew.
Su Hao rode the Water Unicorn Beast to the regular battlefield and arranged to meet his three friends here.
Just like in high school.
The difference was that everyone had grown a lot, and wearing short sleeves was no longer his specialty.
Li Songting was wearing a loose set of clothes, and the muscles on his exposed arm were tight.
Liu Ren still had a pancake face. He was wearing casual clothes, but one could actually vaguely see some muscles.
Gu Lingyao’s hair was tied up, and she was even wearing a simple and practical usage suit… Su Hao took a few glances. Fortunately, he didn’t see any muscles.
But she also had a more mighty and valiant temperament.
It was from partic.i.p.ating in missions to catch wanted criminals.
On the other hand, he…
Su Hao glanced at himself.
Ever since he had the Water Unicorn Beast, he had abandoned the shared bicycle and had less running training.
He actually couldn’t see any muscles on himself at all.
Perhaps it was because he was too handsome that his muscles weren’t as obvious.
Seeing him appear riding the Water Unicorn Beast, Liu Ren waved and shouted.
“Old Su, let’s have a hot-blooded battle!”
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
He looked at Li Songting, then at Liu Ren, and silently took two steps back.
Afraid of being a.s.similated.
“We’re going to fight together today, you don’t mind, right?” Gu Lingyao said, “My Lingling has already evolved, you might lose.”
Gu Lingyao’s Tide-Calling Spring Sprite had grown to become a little taller than her.
The long dress made of water streams dragged on the ground. It pressed its palms together, and a sky-blue gem hung around its neck.
“Water Gem?”
It was a tool similar to Marrow Jade.
“Yes.” She said, “There was a lucky draw activity for old customers at Green Shade Supermarket some time ago. Then, I got it. There’s also a box of spiritual jades.”
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
There’s even lucky draws now?
…
On the battlefield.
On the opposite side, the Lava Dragon Turtle, the Master Hound, and the Tide-Calling Spring Sprite stood side by side.
Su Hao stood there.
Under the Water Unicorn Beast’s expectant gaze, he said,
“In that case, the sprite I chose to fight is…”
“Flaming Cloud Crow!”
“Squawk…”
With a cry, the Flaming Cloud Crow arrived per the summon.
Sparks flew.
Its red feathers were bright and s.h.i.+ny. Even if it wasn’t in its Flaming Feather Form, circles of redness spread out from its body.
“But it hasn’t evolved yet.”
Liu Ren thought to himself.
His Lava Dragon Turtle had just evolved, and the tactical system recommended by Old Su was also completed.
It was the moment its battle power had increased sharply.
It was the moment the difference in battle power between the two parties was the smallest!
“The best opportunity to defeat Old Su is today!”
