“The final winner is Class A student Fang Yuan! Congratulations to student Fang Yuan for being the champion of the simulated combat test!”
The dean raised his hand and announced.
Zhang Yu had been completely defeated at all levels. One could imagine what he would suffer when he returned, but these were not things that Fang Yuan needed to care about.
The bet between the two had been witnessed by the student affairs office.
The broken heart of the sea, which had been taken from Zhang Yu’s neck, was handed to Fang Yuan.
[ Ding. Rare-grade pet accessory detected, heart of the sea. ]
[ Proceed to 100-fold enhancement? ]
[ Host can choose from the following enhancement methods. ]
[ First, give up the 100-fold enhancement , obtain the heart of the sea. Effect, firm wall. ]
[ Consume level 3 and above crystal cores, defend against all-round physical attacks within 1 minute. ]
[ Second, extend the 100-fold increase duration. Effect: absolute defense. ]
[ Consume level 3 and above crystal cores. Defend against all-round physical attacks within 100 minutes. ]
[ Third, increase the effect of the 100-fold increase. Effect: firm wall. ]
[ Consume level 1 and above crystal cores. Defend against all-round physical attacks within 1 minute. ]
One was to increase the duration, and the other was to reduce the consumption.
This was an easy decision to make.
Of course, it was the second choice. Within a full hundred minutes, he could max out his physical defense.
He was practically a team of one person.
As for the crystals consumed, although Fang Yuan did not have level 3 and above crystal cores on hand right now, but he believed that in the future, as he headed to a more powerful arcane realm, the number of high-level crystal cores he would obtain would only increase.
He should look ahead.
Fang Yuan received the heart of the sea, which needed to be recharged. He patted his cheap brother-in-law’s shoulder affectionately. “Keep up the good work, brother-in-law. Don’t look so sad. We’ll be a family from now on.”
Zhang Yu glared at Fang Yuan and left resentfully.
He had lost the bet. He would have a headache later, so he had no time to vent his anger on Fang Yuan.
At the same time, Fang Yuan was already standing on the podium.
He accepted the invitation to the pet trade fair and the permit to go to the back mountain arcane realm again.
He was quite satisfied with such a harvest.
He had been thinking about that mysterious giant bear pet in the back mountain arcane realm.
According to his initial judgment, it must be an extraordinarily powerful pet.
If he could keep it for his own use, it would bring endless benefits.
Therefore, before heading to the arcane realm, Fang Yuan had to find out if this bear was a pet that humans could contract with.
If it was, what kind of conditions did he have to reach in order to contract with it?
Although his predecessor was very serious about learning about pet knowledge, he was after all just an ordinary high school student. He had never had the chance to come into contact with such an extraordinary pet before.
He had to find a way to obtain more information.
The school actually had a library.
But in this era where knowledge was power, it was difficult for a student of the D class to come into contact with some core information.
The library was more open to the students of Class A.
This world valued scientific research. If a pet scientist who did scientific research reached a higher position, he would be able to become an expert.
If he followed politics, the military, business, and even the traditional guardians of the secret realm, he would be able to sit on equal footing.
For example, the Chen family of the Zhang, Wang, Li, and Chen families was a from pet scientist background.
It was said that Chen Ying, the only daughter of the Chen family, had long made up her mind to follow the path of scientific research in the future.
A lot of scattered information flashed through his mind.
At the same time, he planned to walk forward and head towards the direction of the library. However, he realized that he did not know how to get there.
He walked out of the playground.
He saw his classmate, Chen Ying, standing at the door.
“Classmate Fang Yuan, the last match was very exciting. I look forward to meeting you at the test venue next time.”
Chen Ying usually ranked at the top of the school grades.
It was not even more than that. Before the third year of high school, she had basically always been the first in the annual exam, and had never obtained the second place.
Although she was the one who had voluntarily forfeited the simulated test because of other reasons, she still clearly felt the pressure that Fang Yuan had brought to him.
“Student Chen Ying, is it? It just so happens that I have something to ask you.”
Fang Yuan went over to greet her. He knew this girl. She was his classmate and was also the only classmate in the class yesterday who did not lay a hand on him because of his status as a commoner, so he knew her.
Of course, her beauty was also another very important reason. With Chen Ying’s looks, it was very difficult for a normal boy to ignore her.
“Do you know how to get to the library?”
“Yes… I just happen to be going over there to obtain the access to the restricted book area on the second floor.”
After Chen Ying’s introduction, Fang Yuan learned that the school library was divided into three floors.
The first floor was an open area. In theory, it could be read by all the students in the school. The second floor was a restricted book area.
Even teachers who worked in the school had to pass the qualification assessment to borrow books from the restricted book area.
The way to get the qualification was also through a test.
However, it was a written test. What was tested was theory, not actual combat.
This was very advantageous for a student like Chen Ying who came from a scientific research family.
If she could pass the test today, she would become the first student in the entire school to obtain the qualification to be in the restricted book area. This was a great honor.
Chen Ying brought Fang Yuan to the entrance of the library.
“The qualification test is about to begin. I have to go and prepare. I’ll make a move first.”
After saying that, Chen Ying waved her hand and went to the second floor to prepare for the test..
Fang Yuan continued to move forward and entered the open area on the first floor of the library.
The bookshelves here were so high that they reached the ceiling. The four walls were filled with a dazzling array of books.
The students did not put down the scrolls in their hands and roamed in the sea of knowledge.
Facing thousands of books, Fang Yuan could not help but feel powerless. How long would it take for him to finish reading all of them.
[ Ding. Host’s location detected, school library. ]
[ Proceed with the 100-fold increase? ]
[ Host can choose from the following ways to increase your reading efficiency. ]
[ First, give up on the 100-fold increase. ]
[ Second, increase your reading efficiency by 100-fold. ]
