Chapter 99 - An Ordinary High School Student



Chapter 99: An Ordinary High School Student

Ice Emperor Tooth led the way, while Black Ink Dragon’s ink-like body hovered in mid-air. There were no wild sprites disturbing them along the way. After walking for a few hours, they arrived at a relatively open area at the foot of the mountain.

That master-level Sprite Trainer summoned an elite-level Wind Chasing Horse.

The pegasus flew into the sky with a sound. After observing for a while, it landed in front of the Sprite Trainer and called out twice.

Ice Emperor Tooth’s Sprite Trainer, the middle-aged man with the surname Lu, looked at Professor Meng and nodded slightly.

Professor Meng said,

“Set up the camp and prepare for lunch.”

The research team had sufficient supplies. A Mountain Moving Ape, was able to carry a huge box that was more than a meter in length, width, and height.

The other sprite, Ten-Thousand Vine Turtle, also had several cardboard boxes stacked on top of it. They were tightly bound by vines and wouldn’t fall no matter how hard it shook.

With the sprites acting as helpers, it was very convenient to head out into the wild.

With a command.

The Sprite Trainers following the team opened the boxes skillfully, took out supplies, and set up the camp.

They were all experienced people.

In comparison, on the Sprite Cultivators’ side, many people were leaning on their knees, looking exhausted.

Even Professor Meng’s students weren’t any better.

“Su, Su Hao, why don’t you look tired?”

“Because I have two sprites.”

“Right, right.”

Tang Xin, who was wearing a knitted hat, had her long hair plastered to her face. After a long while, she finally calmed down and said, “I also want to contract two sprites, but I can’t afford it, and I don’t have that much time.”

Tang Xin’s experience represented the vast majority of elementary-level Sprite Cultivators.

They only contracted their sprites after they got their license.

After all…

Humans had limited energy.

Most candidates didn’t contract sprites when Su Hao took part in the Sprite Cultivator assessment.

They needed to learn a lot of knowledge, so they didn’t have time to accompany their sprites for training.

Money was also a problem that troubled them.

And even if one became an elementary-level Sprite Cultivator and cultivated a sprite to entry-level, it would still take one to two years.

Su Hao himself wouldn’t have been able to spend so much on nurturing sprites if it weren’t for the rewards from the research papers, the competition, and the benefits from improving unique skills.

Tang Xin had spent a large portion of her income on the cultivation of Sleeping Owl.

She was considered a part of the more outstanding batch.

Many sprites contracted by elementary-level Sprite Cultivators had yet to break through to entry-level.

It was just that those people couldn’t be seen in the research team.

They were all eliminated.

The primordial area wouldn’t sign contracts with Sprite Cultivators who didn’t contract entry-level sprites, even if they had sufficient professionalism.

Firstly, if he couldn’t get enough feedback, his physical strength would be limited.

Secondly…

Sprites couldn’t solidify passive Sprite Commandeering “Protection” without qualitative change before entry level.

Sprite Trainers without “protection” were weak. Even if there were elite-level guards, the management would not dare to let these people enter the primordial area.

“However, even with sprites’ feedback benefits, physical fitness is still limited without exercise.”

Su Hao noticed that there was a Sprite Cultivator in his early thirties. His sprite had already been cultivated to advanced entry-level. There might even be other sprites he didn’t bring along with him.

However, this Sprite Cultivator was still panting a little.

Unlike himself, whose body was merely warmed up.

“The difference is so big…”

Neither Professor Meng nor that expert surnamed Lu requested that they, the Sprite Cultivators, set up the camp. Su Hao was naturally happy to slack off.

While pretending that he was also a little tired, he carefully observed the actions of those elite Sprite Trainers.

I am a man who wants to conquer the New World. Setting up the camp and building defense in the wild are compulsory classes.

“It’s a pity that this isn’t taught in high school.”

After all, Old Chen and the other form teachers might not have went to the New World as many times as him.

The only one who really left the city was Coach Xiong.

And that was a few years ago.

Su Hao secretly guessed that Coach Xiong didn’t do well in the New World. Later on, when he changed a career path and became a coach, he taught a few master-level Sprite Trainers and became famous instead.

After observing for a while, he came to a conclusion.

“So difficult!!”

“As expected, I’m only suitable for plug flow.”

“Should I look for a sprite that can set up a camp on its own?”

Lunch was instant noodles.

Water came from the water molecules gathered by water-elemental sprites in the air. After being heated by fire-elemental sprites, a large pot of water was boiled in a moment.

Su Hao tried it. Needless to say, it tasted pretty good.

Perhaps it was because he was too hungry.

The food for sprites was also very good. High-level jade powder was provided by the primordial area, and some jade powder set meals were even concocted by Professor Meng.

Su Hao got Reverie Butterfly to give him feedback after tasting it.

“Gurgle, gurgle!”

“Green Bamboo Jade Powder, Emerald Jade Powder, Empty Wood Jade Powder…”

Su Hao took down notes.

It was a common jade powder set meal, after all. It was always good to learn more.

It was just that the little rascal still couldn’t differentiate all the ingredients inside.

After lunch, official work was about to begin.

Professor Meng started to split everyone into teams.

Apart from the three Sprite Trainers who stayed behind to guard the camp, the others were divided into six teams.

Professor Meng and that Sprite Trainer surnamed Lu formed a team. The others, led by five students of Professor Meng, headed to different areas to collect data.

Su Hao was assigned to the third team, led by a Sprite Cultivator student named Luo Cheng.

“Our working area for the afternoon is near the North Slope.”

With the map in hand, Luo Cheng looked at Su Hao, the other two Sprite Cultivators, and the five Sprite Trainers. “Introduce yourselves so that I can arrange the tasks.”

A muscular man frowned, but still said, “Zhong Yunrui.”

“Huo Lixue.”

“Wang XX.”

“…”

A young man with a White-Winged Moth on his left said excitedly.

“Senior, my name is Tang Qiwen. I’m a third-year student at Golden Armor University. I majored in Sprite Cultivation and Sprite Production and Plants. I received a second prize in the Sprite Cultivation Competition. I’m preparing for my master’s examination right now. My dream is to enroll in Black Dragon University…”

Luo Cheng nodded lightly. “That’s right. I hope you can become my junior in the future.”

Tang Qiwen looked especially excited to be recognized.

Tang Xin, who was traveling with them, felt a bit uneasy. “I’m Tang Xin, a second-year student at Yunhua Sprite University. My major is Sprite and Environment.”

Luo Cheng’s gaze looked towards Su Hao. “What about you?”

“Su Hao.”

“Uh… just a high school student.”

“If it’s professional knowledge, I might more or less know a little.”

“And if you’re asking me what kind of honor I have? Resume? Uh…”

Su Hao recalled for a moment. “I went to Light of Sprites, won awards for my thesis, and just got my mid-level Sprite Cultivator license… That’s probably all I got.”

In order to make his words sound convincing, he even deliberately took out that brand new document.

Luo Cheng :”…”

Tang Qiwen was a bit embarrassed.

Tang Xin had a (⊙▽⊙) look on her face.

My name is Su Hao.

I’m an ordinary high school student.

In order to showcase my competitiveness and value, I specially took my mid-level Sprite Cultivator license.

I didn’t expect that I would cause my colleagues’ discomfort on the first day of work.

I don’t understand.

It must be the world’s fault!
