Chapter 281: Compet.i.tion
The professors were silent.
They did not see what they wanted to see, but they were surprised to see this scene.
They were really shocked.
Moreover, this little caterpillar was so familiar with the operation.
It was obvious that this was not the first time…
!!
“This is w.a.n.g Che’s green caterpillar?”
Professor Yun took a closer look, “His little caterpillar already knows how to cook?”
“That can’t be, right?”
The work with the highest score was actually made by a little caterpillar?
Seeing was believing. If they did not see it with their own eyes, they would not believe it.
This made the professors feel very complicated.
“Even a bug has to be at such a high level. We can’t let other students see this video.”
Princ.i.p.al Nan said, “Otherwise, this will probably affect their confidence.”
As he spoke, Princ.i.p.al Nan glanced at the Greedy Duck beside him.
The professors: “???”
That made sense.
“This little caterpillar already knows how to farm.” Professor Yun pondered and said, “Little Shen told me that this little caterpillar usually takes care of w.a.n.g Che’s farms.”
“Old Yun, your words are a little ridiculous.” Princ.i.p.al Nan glanced at him.
“Why would I lie to you?” Professor Yun asked.
“It knows how to farm and cook… The key is that its combat strength is ridiculously strong…” Princ.i.p.al Nan stared at the video for a while, “This little guy is only one year old, right? When I was in university, I couldn’t even compare to it. ”
“Can a green caterpillar be that monstrous?” Professor Chen could not help but say, “Look at the way it’s made. It’s so familiar with it. I don’t believe it if it taught itself. There must be an expert guiding it. Could it be w.a.n.g Che?”
“I’ve taught this little duck for more than half a year, but it can only barely control it. As for the Greedy Duck, its intelligence is higher than the green caterpillar, right?”
“Quack!” The Greedy Duck immediately cried out in agreement, thinking that its intelligence was higher than a green caterpillar.
Why was this little caterpillar so familiar with it? Why was its level so high?
This was illogical!
“Didn’t you see?” Princ.i.p.al Nan replayed the video and pulled it closer, “Look here. w.a.n.g Che’s lips are moving on the side. He’s clearly reminding me of something. Otherwise, with this little caterpillar’s level, it would definitely have made a mistake in those places just now. It shouldn’t be able to refine the leaf biscuit just now.”
“Other than him, who else could it be?”
Professor Chen took a closer look and realized that it was true.
This stunned them.
How high was w.a.n.g Che’s level?
He could teach a little caterpillar so well?
Could it be that this little caterpillar was very talented in the first place?
w.a.n.g Che was only guiding it?
The professors fell into deep thought and began to doubt their lives.
“Ahem, it’s enough that we know about this.” Professor Yun agreed with Princ.i.p.al Nan, “Don’t spread it at this stage. Otherwise, this will be a huge blow to this batch of students.”
The professors nodded in agreement.
How could it not be devastating?
Looking at the King of Foods Compet.i.tion, they had studied for a few years, learned agriculture and food, and partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion confidently.
A genius like him scored 85 points. Everyone would definitely accept it.
However, if they discovered that their opponent was only a cute little caterpillar and had scored 85 points…
Remembering that their work had either just pa.s.sed or had no points….
How could they take the impact?
This huge difference would affect the confidence of countless students.
It would make them feel that they were trash at all times.
At the same time, a green caterpillar had won the t.i.tle of King of Food during the Winter Agricultural Festival.
This would definitely cause a huge commotion.
Moreover, the high score of 85 points this year might be the highest in the nine war zones.
After the King of Foods compet.i.tion ended, the few of them already roughly knew the situation in the other regions.
The first place was basically between 70 to 80 points.
Princ.i.p.al Gu said, “w.a.n.g Che isn’t someone who likes to hide himself, but he doesn’t like his life to be disturbed. He really didn’t hide anything in the previous compet.i.tion and yesterday’s meeting. However, in the end, he kept a low profile. Those who like to farm are all like this. Therefore, you and I just have to know about this.”
“Cut out the video and don’t say anything.”
The old professors nodded.
The compet.i.tion was over and the high score of 85 was very eye-catching.
However, it was acceptable for the entire war zone.
This score did not affect many people.
Instead, it motivated many contestants.
This was because this score was not unattainable. Many people were only a few points away or more than ten points.
Some contestants felt that they had lost in terms of agriculture.
For example, Chen Tian.
“Teacher! w.a.n.g Che from the Forest Academy is so strong! But if I can also complete the hidden elements of the Green Enamel Flower, I should be able to catch up to him!”
Chen Tian said excitedly to Professor Chen, “My food standard is not much lower than his!”
Professor Chen thought about it and did not know what to say.
He could only smile and pat Chen Tian on the shoulder, “Then you have to work hard. I hope for the next batch… Hmm, I hope I can see you surpa.s.s him one day.”
The teacher’s encouragement increased Chen Tian’s confidence!
He nodded heavily.
“Mingluan, interact more with w.a.n.g Che in the future.” Professor Yun said.
“I know what you mean. You want me to communicate with him and make more food recipes, right?”
Shen Mingluan smiled and said, “I understand.”
“No, I mean, you have to learn more from him and ask for guidance.” Professor Yun said.
“Eh…” Shen Mingluan thought for a moment, “In this aspect, I’m not that weaker than him, right?”
“You are.” Professor Yun smiled and said, “You have to believe me.”
“Okay.” Shen Mingluan looked at Professor Yun thoughtfully.
…
The King of Foods Compet.i.tion did not last long. The Agricultural Festival was in the afternoon.
w.a.n.g Che naturally planned to partic.i.p.ate.
The Agricultural Festival mainly had many new soul plants, some cultivated.
Some were discovered by exploration teams in the wilderness.
The value was not necessarily high, but it was definitely very rare.
An afternoon was enough for the transactions to finish.
w.a.n.g Che’s goal was to find another low-level spatial soul plant.
This way, the quality of the spatial staple food refined would be very high. It could also lay the foundation for the little caterpillar to learn a spatial soul skill in the future.
There were already two types.
The Agricultural Festival was a free trade event. One could exchange items using products or money.
It had a high degree of freedom.
Moreover, they were basically all soul plants and nothing else.
It was on the third floor of the stadium and would last until night time.
The Agricultural Festival did not take w.a.n.g Che much time. Although spatial soul plants were rare, they were still available.
However, the other party’s requirements were rather harsh.
“I happened to obtain this Sumeru Flower Seed on Illusionary Light Island. After appraisal, it is cla.s.sified as a low-level spatial soul plant.”
“If you want it, you can exchange it using more than three types of intermediate soul plant seeds or a high-level soul plant seed.”
This request was actually a little disadvantageous to w.a.n.g Che.
However, w.a.n.g Che did not mind. Professor Yun rewarded him with six intermediate soul plant seeds.
He took them out. As long as there was one seed left, w.a.n.g Che could nurture it.
After exchanging for the seed of the Sumeru Flower, he had three low-level spatial soul plants. Ethereal Lotus, the s.p.a.ce Valley Orchid, and the Sumeru Flower.
They were finally gathered.
w.a.n.g Che planted these three spatial soul plants in the third spiritual field.
In the future, the third spiritual field would specialize in growing s.p.a.ce-type soul plants.
w.a.n.g Che planned to not plant anything else in the fourth spiritual field first. He would experiment with certain plants and undergo transplantation too.
After changing the soul plants he needed, w.a.n.g Che returned to the villa to prepare for the compet.i.tion tomorrow.
Few first and second-year students partic.i.p.ated in the Two Kings Compet.i.tion.
If they partic.i.p.ated, they would be wasting their effort.
No one wanted to be abused, so they naturally did not want to partic.i.p.ate.
Therefore, it was better to be an audience and watch an exciting show. It was not too late to partic.i.p.ate in the coming year.
As for the third and fourth-year Contract Soul Masters who had already graduated and had yet to complete the professional test, they were the main partic.i.p.ants.
“It’s a battle between a Contract Soul Master and a soul pet.”
Therefore, the compet.i.tion could not be judged by common sense.
‘If your soul pet is strong, you can partic.i.p.ate.’
However, if he wasn’t strong and ran to partic.i.p.ate, he would definitely be beaten by other soul pets.
The rule was that if the soul pet partic.i.p.ated, the Contract Soul Master had to partic.i.p.ate too.
“In the previous Two Kings Compet.i.tion, in the end, there were many soul pets and few Contract Soul Masters.”
“There are more Beast Kings than Human Kings. Most of the Contract Soul Masters were beaten by their soul pets…”
w.a.n.g Che smiled and shook his head.
The students of the Battle Soul major were not the only ones partic.i.p.ating in the Two Kings Compet.i.tion.
Although most of the Battle Soul students’ martial souls were beneficial in fighting soul pets, students from other majors also had a certain level of combat strength.
Of course, the Human Kings of the previous Two Kings Compet.i.tion were basically all Battle Soul Masters.
It could not be helped. A Battle Soul Master’s individual combat strength was indeed strong.
In the early stages, their fighting strength was the most obvious and could best resist soul pets, especially Battle Soul Masters with spirit martial souls.
After possessing them, their combat strength would increase greatly!
Currently, the little caterpillar had only fought soul pets.
It had never fought a Contract Soul Master one-on-one before.
It was very inexperienced.
Hmm, this was a good opportunity.
w.a.n.g Che was not afraid of the Contract Soul Master rejecting the little caterpillar’s challenge.
First of all, there were only two chances to refuse. After using it, they could not refuse anymore.
If they refused again, they would lose.
Secondly, even the partic.i.p.ating students had partic.i.p.ated in the Thunder Soul Earth compet.i.tion and knew that the little caterpillar was very strong.
They might have the intention to challenge it.
The reason was simple.
The little caterpillar was very strong in the Thunder Soul Earth, mainly because it had easily defeated the Cloud Lightning Dragon in its true caterpillar form.
This was related to his martial soul!
Without him, many students felt that the little caterpillar could be challenged.
Not to mention that many other contestants might not know the little caterpillar’s exact strength.
As for himself… Hmm, that was up to fate.
However, he had to obtain the t.i.tle of Human King.
It was not for the reward, but for the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate.
This was what w.a.n.g Che was more interested in.
