Start With Contracting Sprites Novel - Chapter 93
Chapter 93: College Entrance Examination Rules
The journey back was peaceful.
Su Hao didn’t know whether to be worried or anticipating the Sprite Hunter’s appearance but fortunately they didn’t appear.
Perhaps it was due to the tight schedule.
Perhaps it was also due to his elite-level expert bodyguard Huang Tianhu.
It was more likely that… the value of the Reverie Butterfly wasn’t that high.
“A month ago, shortly after I came out of the Valley of Sighs, Master Chen Ping nurtured a second Reverie Butterfly. Now, although Reverie Butterflies are rare, my sprite is no longer the unique one.”
…
“The train has arrived at the station, An City Station. Alighting passengers please bring along your personal belongings and alight in an orderly manner…”
After more than a month, Su Hao finally returned to An City.
“Gurgle~!”
“Squawk!”
The Reverie Butterfly was lying on his head. On the other hand, the mighty Fiery Velvet Crow had lost its shoulder position due to its large size. It flew around, occasionally landing on car roofs or other higher positions.
The two were obviously extraordinary sprites so they attracted the attention of the other tourists at the bus stop.
“No wonder it’s said that wanted Sprite Trainers can’t hide easily. Bringing sprites along would attract attention everywhere you go… well, mainly in small cities like An City.”
In Magic City, it was not uncommon to see Sprite Trainers riding tigers, lions and other ferocious-looking sprites on the streets.
Ordinary people who didn’t intend to walk the path of a Sprite Trainer would also contract sprites and rear them as pets. To put it simply, an expense of more than 100,000 yuan wasn’t expensive in the eyes of many.
“But there are a lot more sprites in the recent years. In the past, not only would a sprite cost at least hundreds of thousands, it was also very difficult to buy one.”
Su Hao heard.
Large cities like Magic City had already started to categorize sprites.
Those who raised sprites as pets could enjoy appropriately-relaxed restrictions, but they could only contract a small number of sprites with relatively less destructive power.
For example, Silkworm Baby, Mini Pig, Silk-Cotton Owl, Little Seashell, Salted Fish King, etc.
Without much cultivation, those sprites were really just pets.
Unlike Flame-Patterned Hounds, Flame Lizards, Grassland Wolves, and so on, sharp claws and teeth were innately lethal.
“In addition, sprites whose size or weight exceed the limit are forbidden from going on the road.”
For example, the Lava Dragon Turtle, the Seaside Frog King, the Giant Armored Crab, and the other sprites had huge bodies and were too impactful.
Once they went on the streets, it would be to easy to create chaos.
Even in large cities, sprites in their final form were similarly rare.
“After reaching the elite level, Sprite Trainers often buy villas and manors in the suburbs to house their sprites. Powerful Sprite Trainers are never alone. The team alone responsible for nurturing, feeding, and taking care of the sprites behind their backs already comprises of a lot of people.”
“There are also Sprite Trainers who abandon their main sprites for training in the New World… But they must also leave their main sprites on Planet Aquamarine.”
On the day the school bus was attacked, Coach Xiong and President Luo each summoned an elite-level sprite.
Later on, Su Hao learned that Luo Jinghong didn’t just rely on a Mountain Moving Ape to secure his position as An City’s deputy president. He also had another elite level sprite with a slight weakness.
But that sprite was in the New World.
There was an immeasurable distance between him and Planet Aquamarine. It was impossible to summon his sprite from the New World to Planet Aquamarine with just the soul power of an elite Sprite Trainer.
Su Hao’s eyes darted upwards.
There were benefits to having a small body size. The Fairy Butterfly that had evolved from Reverie Butterfly wasn’t that big either.
It was at most as tall as its waist.
It was also an illusion-element sprite with strong senses. As long as it was allowed to learn a supplementary protection unique skill, it would be his first choice for personal protection.
But it was rather expensive.
…
After returning to An City, Su Hao first went back to his old house, and then headed to the new house given by the Association and the real estate company.
His parents had long moved there.
Su Hao observed for a moment. The security team in the area was made up of retired soldiers and Sprite Trainers.
The team leader was a high-level Sprite Trainer. In a small place like An City, this was already considered pretty good battle power.
The neighborhood was also close to the Association of Sprite Trainers. If anything really happened, elite-level Sprite Trainers would rush over within three to five minutes.
Of course.
In a city like Dragon Nation, he had not heard of a single terrorist organization attack.
Not to mention Sprite Trainers, even elite-level sprites might not be able to stand the sudden burst of special firearms.
“It’s already past three?”
Su Hao glanced at his cell phone and immediately threw the idea of returning to school to the back of his mind.
In any case, the new semester had already started a long time ago, and he had skipped classes for more than three to five days. It made no difference even if he skipped another day.
…
The next day, Thursday.
After sleeping in for a while, Su Hao got up from bed, took his time to wash up, and finally set off for An City First High.
He was still riding a shared bicycle he had gotten from the roadside.
It didn’t suit his identity as a genius Sprite Trainer.
“Do you want to buy a car? In any case, a car that costs more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan is already pretty good.”
He glanced at his account balance.
He had just transferred 500,000 yuan to his parents a while ago. In total, he had spent more than a million yuan hiring Huang Tianhu and buying evolutionary materials for Little Fire Crow.
The remaining amount was only two to three hundred thousand yuan.
Perhaps it was because it was very easy to get money, Su Hao spent it a little too extravagantly.
The few improved unique skills he uploaded still had an income of more than 100,000 yuan per month.
He thought about it for half a minute and decided to forget it.
“It’s too troublesome to learn to drive.”
“Driving isn’t as good as riding a mount. As a Sprite Trainer, you should follow in the footsteps of the new era and contract a sprite that you can ride and resist.”
Now, Su Hao was full of energy as he pedaled like a wheel of fire.
It was supposed to be a 20-30-minute journey, but he managed to get there in ten minutes.
When he arrived at the school gate and put down the bicycle, Su Hao seemed to have heard cracking sounds from the shared bicycle, clearly not able to bear the burden.
“The quality of bicycles these days is just terrible.”
…
At the door of Class Two’s classroom, Su Hao noticed that he had arrived at the right time.
The first period had just begun.
Old Chen, the form teacher, wrote a few large words on the blackboard, College Entrance Examination Rules.
Su Hao knocked on the door softly. After seeing Old Chen’s nod, he returned to his seat that he hadn’t seen in a long time.
He came back quite suddenly.
Liu Ren, Li Songting, and the others in the class were all shocked.
“The missing person has returned!”
“Big Boss Su is finally out of seclusion!”
“It’s time for Silkworm God… ah no, Butterfly God to suppress the school again!”
Although they were having a lesson and the students under Old Chen didn’t dare to speak.
They showed their amazing abilities.
Some either set up a book in front of them so that they could take out their cell phones to open the group chat.
While some reached under the table and hit the buttons on their phones blindly.
Instantly, dozens of messages appeared in the group chat.
Uh… Class group?
Form teacher Chen Fangjie: “@ Everyone who is playing with their phones in class just now, double the training load today!”
Liu Ren ,”…”
Li Songting was rendered speechless.
Su Hao, who hadn’t had the time to click on “Send” yet, quietly cleared out the words he typed. He put his cell phone away, sat upright, and looked serious.
Old Chen’s gaze swept across them. “Now, I’ll talk about this year’s College Entrance Examination Rules. All students, pay attention and listen.”
