Chapter 58: Li Weiyi

The White Ghoul Witch’s offspring was just a creature of another dimension and yet, it could still fetch a price of 400,000 yuan. There were still possibilities for the price to go higher.

Why was the price of a White Ghoul Witch’s offspring so high?

Besides, even if one had spent a bomb on purchasing the White Ghoul Witch’s offspring, the chances of acquiring it as a Star Pet was still extremely low and just like acquiring Star Beads—a one-time process.

The question was, what was the point of spending so much money on the White Ghoul Witch’s offspring then?

Do those people have too much money to spare?

In reality, Jiang Xiao’s mindset was completely wrong. 400,000 yuan was not considered expensive and was instead a reasonable price.

Once a White Ghoul Witch’s offspring was absorbed successfully, it could be nurtured into adulthood and lead a cluster of White Ghouls.

The owner of the Star Pet could then claim sovereignty over the snowfield.

It was the inherent result of the differences between the White Ghoul Witch and the White Ghouls.

As Star Pets, the White Ghouls could ensure the safety of its owner and bring about immeasurable wealth.

To a nation, the White Ghoul Witch’s value was far greater.

With the White Ghoul Witch, the officials could manipulate it and alter the number of monsters and creatures in the snowfield. They could even use it to control a group of White Ghouls and use them for the maintenance of order or a special suicide squad.

In other words, the manipulation could bring the unruly snowfield into their area of control.

In that case, the price of 400,000 yuan for the White Ghoul Witch’s offspring seemed to be a little low.

The point was, why could the White Ghoul Witch’s offspring only fetch a price of 400,000 yuan if it had such a strong racial attribute?

It was because the above hypotheses were all drawn according to a perfect scenario and growth of the Star Pet.

In reality, White Ghoul Witches were not suitable for being Star Pets.

The White Ghoul Witch had low IQ and was very disobedient. One may be able to keep them in their star slots, but it would be difficult to really tame them.

The various attributes of White Ghoul Witches made them succumb to their lustful characteristic and at the same time, they were also bloodthirsty and obsessed with killing.

They were naturally brutal and angst.

Most of the creatures of other dimensions that could become Star Pets were “loyal” by nature, and even if they were not, they’d at least be relatively gentle or have higher IQs.

However, the White Ghoul Witches did not have such characteristics and were, in fact, even more brutal and ruthless.

Besides, the success rate of taming Star Pets was outrageously low. Hence, the price of the White Ghoul Witch’s offspring was only 400,000 yuan.

After buying the White Ghoul Witch’s offspring, absorbing it would be a barrier, followed by taming it.

The buyer who offered that price was probably very confident in his own abilities. In theory, the White Ghoul Witches were not suitable to be acquired as Star Pets, and it would almost be impossible to remove its brutal and violent ethnic nature while keeping its ability to suppress White Ghouls.

Who knew what the buyer might do with the White Ghoul Witch’s offspring? If he were to really acquire it as a Star Pet, what gave him that confidence?

Jiang Xiao wasn’t too sure, but he knew that someone had struck a fortune, and that was the male Awakened whom they encountered in the snowfield that day.

It was no wonder that he refused to let go of the White Ghoul Witch’s offspring. Jiang Xiao reckoned that the man must have decided to make as many gains as he could since his teammates had already died.

Jiang Xiao also had a better understanding of the path he could choose in the future. After getting stronger, he would be able to go to the different Dimensional Spaces to catch some offspring of creatures to generate a substantial income.

However, since the White Ghoul Witch’s offspring could fetch such a high price, why didn’t the officials send some powerful people to breed White Ghoul Witches and obtain their offspring?

Jiang Xiao felt that others could have probably thought about the same things as him.

Could it be that some aspects of this could not be completed?

Han Jiangxue also noticed the news while the students were happily discussing about it.

She sent Jiang Xiao a message on WeChat.

Ever since Jiang Xiao deleted his WeChat app, the two of them rarely communicated with each other via text message.

They decided on a time to meet each other.

The night before the game, Jiang Xiao obediently waited for Han Jiangxue at the basketball court below the Year Three field.

It was no wonder Jiangbin High School was an elite school. Well, at least, they had wonderful basic facilities.

The Teaching Block of the Year Three students was a separate one that was located in the “deep mountains”. There was a fountain in front of the Teaching Block, below which was the field that was above eight basketball courts.

However, there was no football field because it was located in the Teaching Block of the Year One and Year Two students.

The light was dim when Jiang Xiao heard the school bell ring at 8:15 PM in the Year Three Teaching Block.

The melody was rather familiar. It was “Dream Wedding”.

It was not really the dismissal bell, but merely the bell that indicated the end of a lesson. The students of Year Three had attended two consecutive night lessons, with a 15-min break in between. However, they still had to attend self-learning lessons at night.

School only truly ended at 10 PM.

The lights would be out by 11:30 PM in the Teaching Block, which also meant that a significant portion of students would be practicing there until 11:30 PM.

After going home, they might even have to study and practice until 1 or 2 AM.

The mere thought of it was terrifying because their first morning class of the following day would begin at 6:45 AM.

For the students who lived on campus, 6:20 AM would be the latest timing they could wake up at if they were to skip breakfast.

Meanwhile, those who did not would probably have to wake up even earlier.

This bunch of hardcore students.

They wake up earlier than the chickens but go to sleep later than them.

Before Han Jiangxue even arrived, he saw a few boys dashing towards the basketball court with a basketball.

They only have 15 minutes to rest and yet these kids ran from the Teaching Block to here?

How many minutes do they even have to play?

After some thought, Jiang Xiao had a new remark about the students in Year Three.

They were more energetic than ever after lessons.

Jiang Xiao looked at them for a while and realized that they really liked playing basketball and had superb techniques as well, especially the defender at the back who was even more nimble and agile than a monkey.

“Don’t use Star Power or cheat! If you do that again, I’ll rip the basket off!” a tall boy yelled.

“Let him continue throwing a tantrum. He almost cried after getting punished by the teacher,” said a gentle and tender voice.

Jiang Xiao turned to see a tall and burly boy standing beneath the bright, white light. His voice was gentle and he looked clean, fresh and handsome. His hair was black, short, and naturally wavy.

He’s so tall and handsome. He even has such a great figure. Can he give us average humans a way out?

“No matter where he goes, he’ll always be the most outstanding one,” said Han Jiangxue behind Jiang Xiao.

Rather stunned, Jiang Xiao stared at the boy carefully and asked, “Has my rival in love finally appeared?”

Han Jiangxue rubbed Jiang Xiao’s neatly-shaved head and felt that his short hair was rather nice to touch. “That’s my teammate, Li Weiyi. There’s nothing between us.”

Jiang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I’m relieved to see your eager explanation. Seems like I still have a place in your heart.”

Han Jiangxue stayed silent for a while before asking calmly, “Do you want to go back with a crippled leg?”

Jiang Xiao shivered and hurriedly changed the subject. “Do you want me to get familiar with your teammates in advance?”

“No, I saw the news about the transaction of the offspring today.” Han Jiangxue turned to look at Jiang Xiao and asked solemnly, “You must answer my following questions seriously.”

“Alright.” Jiang Xiao nodded.

Han Jiangxue asked softly, “Is the probability of you absorbing Star Pets 100% too? Can the Star Pets that you absorb improve your quality?”

Jiang Xiao was completely stunned.

He had never thought about that question before.

“I’ve never tried it, so I have no idea,” Jiang Xiao answered truthfully.

“Okay.” Han Jiangxue expressed assent with a nod, seeming a little disappointed. She then changed the subject. “Are you confident about the competition tomorrow?”

“The results of the draw are already out. We’re in Team A and we’ll be going against Class 7 for the first round. There are two elites in the same group of Class 4, but that’s not a huge problem.”

“Is your ultimate opponent Class 1?” Han Jiangxue asked, though she sounded rather firm.

“Yes. They’re in Team B and we’ll be facing them only in the ultimate battle. By the way, have you heard of Gao Junchen?” Jiang Xiao asked.

Han Jiangxue asked, “Uh-huh?”

Jiang Xiao continued, “The younger brother of Gao Junwei from your team. He’s from Class 1.”

Han Jiangxue frowned slightly. Gao Junwei’s family was rather rich, so she reckoned that Gao Junchen must have plenty of Star Techniques.

Although one could only own four Star Techniques during the Stardust Period, the quality of the Star Techniques could be very high.

“That’s your business.” Han Jiangxue motioned for Li Weiyi to come forth before saying softly, “We’ve already done what we can. His family, Xia Yan’s family and I have already repeatedly communicated with the principal. We’re all looking forward to your performance.”

At this time, the tall boy who was playing basketball walked towards them and said in a friendly manner, “Hello, Jiang Xiaopi.”

Jiang Xiao looked at the handsome boy who was 1.87m tall before turning to look at Han Jiangxue. “He’s so handsome, how could you bear to make him stand at the front of the team and face those fierce monsters?”

“My duty is to be at the forefront of the team. It’s my honor to be able to escort and protect the Rules and Medical Awakened.” Li Weiyi suddenly bent forward and whispered into Jiang Xiao’s ear, “Besides, I don’t want to be at the back, because Xia Yan is way more terrifying than those creatures.”

Jiang Xiao took a step back and turned to look at Han Jiangxue with a peculiar expression. “I like him.”

Han Jiangxue was speechless.

Li Weiyi remained silent.
