Chapter 45: Women Apparel’s Big Boss

After taking a shower, Su Bai came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.

He felt that it was really necessary to find a second pet. For his second pet, he wanted something fierce, stubborn, and domineering—the complete offensive kind.

One cute Purple Jade was enough, and now he wanted his next pets to be big and ferocious.

Such pets would be good to cooperate with the cub or to protect him. It seemed like a good idea, but he had not yet thought of what specific pet to get.

Still, he was not in a hurry. He had not upgraded the contract book yet, after all.

“Howl!”

The cub handed the phone back, indicating that there was a message for him.

“Who is it?”

Su Bai muttered and checked the phone to see a message from the Xingyu and Carp Mountain gymnasiums. Both had invited him to train in their facilities for free. If he performed well, he could become a disciple of either gym and have the opportunity to be sent to a monster university in the southwest.

However, he decided to pass up their offer after taking a look. They would not give him money and would even send him to a university, which was only first-tier. He could get himself admitted to it with his strength, so why should he join those third-rate gyms?

There were rules among gymnasiums, making it difficult to join another once a person became a member of one.

In addition, his master, Gao An, sent him a message, telling him not to join the two impossibly promising gyms.

“There, you can continue playing.”

Su Bai handed the phone to the cub again and then lay on the sofa to rest. The strain of nerves, which had lasted all day and night, made him very exhausted.

He took a nap and woke up at 4 p.m.

“Brother, you’re finally awake. You’re amazing! You won the contest.”

His younger brother put down his phone and praised him.

“Haha! It’s mainly because of my poverty; I did it all for money.”

He sighed.

Su Yue: “Oh, I’m also an imaginative person limited by poverty.”

“I was thinking of getting a pharmacist certificate before turning sixteen, but I’ve decided to try one this year.”

Su Bai patted his brother on the shoulder. “You can do it; I believe in you. If you pass the exam, I’ll get you a beginner material that you can absolutely be satisfied with when you reach sixteen.”

“Thank you, older bro. Mom and the others don’t know that you participated in a competition and even won first place. I’ll give them a call and we can celebrate in the evening.”

His younger sibling was elated.

“No need. I’m going out to meet with my classmates tonight as I’ve already promised them in advance. What do you want to eat? I’ll bring it back for you…”

He asked.

“Alright. I’m fine with anything. It just happens that I’m studying the ratio of energy potions,” said Su Yue after thinking for a while.

“Okay, then.”

Su Bai checked the time and it was almost 5 p.m. His appointment with his friends was at 5:30 p.m.

“I’ll go out now,” he said.

“Okay.” His brother nodded.

“Buddy, stop playing with the phone; let’s go.”

“Howl!”

Purple Jade threw itself into his arms, and then they went out together.

When the owner-pet pair arrived at the entrance of the restaurant Su Bai’s classmates had booked, he saw the others.

“Wow! You guys are impressive. What a showoff; you just forced them to be overcast.” Yang Zhou hugged his arm and chuckled.

“What do you mean by that? I was only employing a reasonable strategy. Do you know what it means? Don’t slander me out of thin air.”

Su Bai shook his head in disdain.

“F*ck! You’re really bad,” scolded his friend jokingly.

“Hey, your last method was really inspiring. I was still wondering how you would fight the water-fire twins, but I didn’t expect for you to win without doing so.”

“Yes, that’s impressive; I like it.”

Chen Tingting and Jiang Yang complimented him.

They were usually on good terms with Su Bai and the others and were considered as good friends, too.

Chen Tingting’s appearance was one of the best in the class, and many people secretly had a crush on her.

Jiang Yang was another weird classmate. He liked wearing women’s clothes and would have the best appearance in their class when he did so. This overwhelmed Liu Weiwei, Chen Tingting, Chen Rouxue, and everyone else.

“Wow, you all came early.”

While they were chatting, Chen Rouxue rushed over with her small, electric scooter.

Her hair was wet, and she was wearing a white shirt with gray bell bottom pants.

“We mainly came early to chat. Since everyone is here, let’s sit down in the hall and have the dishes serve to us. The grilled fish should be cooked by now.”

Yang Zhou gestured to them.

They walked in chatting freely. Little Devil’s performance had been very eye-catching, too, so Chen Tingting and Jiang Yang were all asking Chen Rouxue about her method of training it.

Unbeknown to them, there was a junior trainer in their midst.

Su Bai had not let rumors of this spread. He had too many classmates, and he could not help all of them. Anyway, after the subject divisions, they would have special pet trainers.

“By the way, have you heard of the recent disappearance of a few youths who are nearly sixteen-year-olds in Cannes?” asked Chen Rouxue.

Jiang Yang nodded. “I remember seeing that incident on the news. The Alliance seems to have sent down search officers.”

“I wonder what the level of those search officers is. This matter seems quite serious, or else the Alliance would directly throw it to the domestic pet management bureau.”

Yang Zhou said, “Fortunately, we are already sixteen and should be out of danger. I’m so sorry that we’re born as human beings.”

“Stop it, stop it. Let’s just eat. We’re all rookies, anyway; even if there’s an evil organization, it has nothing to do with us.”

Su Bai raised the glass of juice in his hand.

“Wow, you’re breaking my heart.”

“Can you not be so realistic, please?”

“Come, let’s cheer. Congratulations on these two for getting first place. It’s the first victory in their lives!”

With a bang, their cups touched and they downed the content at one go.

While they enjoyed the delicious grilled fish and chatted, a cheerful atmosphere filled the air.

“By the way, these two champions, we’ve previously agreed to hunt monsters on that mountain in the west of the town; are you both still good to go?”

Yang Zhou asked them when they were about to be done eating.

“Yes, but the best time for me is on Sunday as I have matters to attend to on Saturday.”

Su Bai nudged the cub.

“Okay, we’ll go on Sunday then. Although I received a bonus of 500,000 yuan, I’m still very poor.” Chen Rouxue sighed.

“Hey, Jiang Yang, Chen Tingting, do you wanna come along?” She turned to address the others.

“Can we come, too? Our pets are still low-level slaves, and they haven’t entered the growth stage yet. They’re such rookies. Won’t we be holding you guys back?”

Both classmates hesitated. Naturally, they wanted to go, but they also knew that they were really rookies.

“Of course, you can. As long as you don’t mind, Su Bai’s pet can catch some weak monsters and kill them with its detection skills. It should be no problem.”

“I was thinking about forming a hunting team yesterday. If you both are definitely welcome to join,” said Chen Rouxue.

“Really? That’s great. Of course, we will join.” The two did not even hesitate.

“Haha! Welcome, then. Our hunting team now has five members.” Su Bai lifted his cup for a toast. These classmates of his were quite cute.

“Cheers!”

“Actually, you don’t have to worry at all. Look at Yang Zhou; he’s on the same level as you guys.

“Plus, tomorrow, you all can practice together. We can talk about the specific precautions later,” added Su Bai.

Yang Zhou was speechless.

“Okay.” Jiang Yang and Chen Tingting nodded. “Oh, what’s the name of our hunting team? Should we go to the Hunting Hall to register it?”

The Hunting Hall, also called the Hunter’s Union, was a member of the Spirit Alliance, too. Registering as a part of a hunting squad or a hunter there would provide different privileges as the level increased.

This included information about monsters and spirits, special skills, jade stones, and so on.

They could undertake tasks and also post tasks in the Hunting Hall. By completing the tasks, they would not only earn bonuses but also accumulate quest points, which could then be exchanged for some exclusive treasures there.

“I can’t think of a name. We’ll leave it to Chen Rouxue. If we’re really doing it, then we’ll go register it together on Sunday morning.”

Su Bai did not want to do the difficult task of naming their group.

Chen Rouxue: ???

She was also terrible at naming things.
