“Gurgleee! (╬ ?皿 ?)=○”

Silkworm Baby was very dissatisfied.

Why, why is this happening?

I thought you are spending the reward money on me. How did it become increasing training intensity?

“Silly, think about it. Is jade powder for you to eat?”

Silkworm Baby nodded.

“Is Wood Spiritual Liquid for you to drink?”

Silkworm Baby nodded again.

“Aren’t those items for recovery used on you eventually?”

Silkworm Baby thought about it, and could only nod.

Su Hao thought he had let it pass.

Silkworm Baby continued calling.

“Gurgle! Gurgle, gurgle!”

“What, you said you want to be in charge of spending it?”

“Gurgle, gurgle.”

“No way, have you ever seen any sprite spending money itself?”

“Gurgle, gur… gle, gurgle!”

Su Hao was silent.

In drama series, there were indeed sprites that spent money themselves.

There were many, actually.

Since the protagonists in the drama series were sprites, how did Silkworm Baby end up a fan of drama series?

Who taught Silkworm Baby to read?

Su Hao thought about it.

It seemed to be himself, so he couldn’t shift the blame.

Su Hao thought about it carefully.?

Although it was mainly thanks to my key commands in defeating the Wood Mantis, Silkworm Baby also contributed a little.

I’ll give it… 20 yuan of pocket money.

“Gurgle!”

“You want the red?one¹? And two?! No way, only 20 yuan.”

Silkworm Baby was still dissatisfied.

The two couldn’t reach a consensus.

Silkworm Baby started bumping his head.

Thud!

A few minutes later…

Su Hao squatted on the ground. “It’s okay if you don’t want small notes, but you want a laptop… Do you, a sprite, know how to use a computer? Do you know how big the price difference is between 2 red notes and a laptop!?”

Silkworm Baby stubbornly said that he could only choose one between the two.

Su Hao thought again.

How is a silkworm supposed to use a laptop? It surely can’t. Then, buying a laptop would be just nice. Aren’t Silkworm Baby’s belongings also mine?

It doesn’t know how to use one, and I’ll use it for it, it is entirely reasonable!

The desktop at home is also pretty old and lagging… If I get a laptop, I can also bring it to school.

“Al-right.” Su Hao agreed.

Thus, the human and the sprite reached a consensus.

Silkworm Baby made a cry of victory. “Gur-gurgleヾ(??▽?)ノ.”

I’m liking the feeder more and more.

It leaped right onto him.

Su Hao rubbed it hard. In its joy, Silkworm Baby didn’t resist.

He didn’t forget to tell it, “Since I decided to buy you a computer, you have to pay more attention to daily training, alright?”

Silkworm Baby nodded hard.

“And you’ve got to learn to think about unique skills yourself, okay?”

Silkworm Baby thought about it and nodded.

“You can’t play with the computer before you finish your tasks, okay?”

Silkworm Baby attempted to change his mind with cuteness, but it didn’t succeed.

It just nodded weakly.

Su Hao was very satisfied. He finally regained his prestige as a Sprite Trainer.

The human and the sprite happily set off toward a computer flagship retail outlet.

…

The National Day holidays passed in a blink, and bland school days came again.

During the morning class, form teacher Old Chen walked rapidly into the classroom, her Marionette drifting behind her as usual.

Old Chen placed the heavy class plan onto the teacher’s table, looked around, and started speaking directly, “From this week onward, the school has added two mass lessons, Sprite Battle and Wilderness Survival, they will be on Tuesday and Friday mornings, respectively.

“The original classes on Tuesday and Friday will be shifted to other timings.

The students in the classroom were all… silent. But their expression didn’t look happy.

Who would be happy having added lessons?

“Do you have any questions?” asked Old Chen.

“Mi-Miss, why are there suddenly added lessons?”

“Oh, I forgot to tell you this. There will most likely be reforms to the college entrance examination this year. It will take place in new formats.”

Old Chen changed the subject. “In recent years, Sprite Battle has been added into the college entrance examination, which indeed reaped some results. Schools in all areas have increasingly paid attention to training battle skills of sprites.

“But focusing too much on competition on the battlefield cultivated only academics. A while ago, a top student graduated from Canglan Sprite University, a high-level Sprite Trainer at that. He was actually easily killed off when chasing down an elementary-level Sprite Trainer criminal.”

Old Chen shook her head.

Although this was an extreme example, it also illustrated that academic Sprite Trainers were too rigid. They lacked the ability to deal with sudden situations.

Furthermore, this kind of Sprite Trainers was hardly useful in emergency situations.

“There is news that the college entrance examination will include a combat-survival examination.

“What is combat-survival? It is to get you into a dangerous area, possibly facing hidden enemies, randomly attacking sprites, etc. It tests not only the battle abilities of sprites but also the Sprite Trainer’s judgment and response abilities.

“Therefore, the school opened two more mass lessons and spent a lot of money hiring an elite Sprite Trainer who moved on from An City years ago as your coach.

“You should feel fortunate. That coach has not only a strong sprite, but also strong combat abilities and strong educational skills. Several of his students became master-level Sprite Trainers.”

After elementary, mid, high, and elite levels, the highest was the master-level.

Master-level Sprite Trainers were already significant figures.

The president of An City’s Association of Sprite Trainers was just a master-level Sprite Trainer, and he was away from An City most of the time.

Upon hearing Old Chen say that, many students drew a breath.

If they were to train under such a coach, even if it was a bit difficult, a bit tiring, it seemed worth it.

Perhaps, they would become the next master-level Sprite Trainer, right?

Old Chen saw what the students down there were thinking with one look, but she didn’t discourage them. Instead, she threw out another big piece of news.

“What’s more, at the end of this semester, our school will hold a joint combat practice along with four other schools, like Yunhua, to imitate the college entrance examination’s reformed format.

“If you don’t want to lose face in the combat practice, you’d better train hard right now, with 1,000% of your energy!”

She raised her waist to look at the time. “Now, go with me to the field.”

Then she left the classroom.

Once she left, the classroom was immediately filled with voices.

After hearing about combat examination, especially that they would have to go down into the field, to survive in the wilderness, many faces showed sad expressions.

Why does the reform have to happen when it’s my cohort’s turn?

And it was changed to such a demonic examination!

It will kill me!

Su Hao patted Liu Ren’s shoulder. “Big Face Liu, you really have to exercise hard now. At least, lose the fat on your belly. Otherwise…”

Liu Ren thought hard with a sad face. Suddenly, he had an idea.

“No, so long as I evolve my Little Charcoal Tortoise into a Lava Tortoise before the college entrance examination, I’ll be able to sit on the back of the Lava Tortoise and travel as I like.”

Su Hao imagined the length of a Lava Tortoise.

It can indeed stand the weight of Liu Ren.

Yet… Do you not have the slightest idea of whether your Little Charcoal Tortoise would be willing to carry you?

Su Hao patted his shoulder and walked out of the classroom.

…

On the field, four classes had arrived.

Su Hao saw that Class One’s form teacher Old Gu was walking over at the distance, accompanied by a tall and strong man who looked like a bear.

The bear-like man walked near them and swept across them with a look full of suppression.

“Whelps, my surname is Xiong, you all can call me Coach?Xiong¹.

“Since First High hired me as the coach, I will train you with the strictest attitude. Understood?”
