“… … Thank you.”
After a long silence, the Bloodfire Saint slowly spoke.
Qian Er's other three pets watched this scene, their eyes gleaming with envy.
But when they thought that Qian Er remembered the Bloodfire Saint's birthday, he definitely wouldn't forget theirs, and this envy was immediately replaced by anticipation.
… …
“Yo, Teacher, good morning.”
In the cafeteria, Qian Er, having just distributed the materials he obtained this time to his pets, immediately went to the cafeteria, ready to splurge a little.
The cafeteria was quickly becoming Qian Er's regular haunt.
As it happened, Qian Er, holding a tray, looked up and saw Zheng Xin walking in with the Water-type Professor Du Xiyue, and immediately raised his hand in greeting.
Hearing the voice, Zheng Xin originally thought he was just getting old and hallucinating, but after seeing Qian Er sitting there, he immediately wore a look of disbelief.
“Why are you here? Weren't you going to the monthly exam?”
He quickly walked to Qian Er's side and asked incredulously.
This monthly exam was a big deal! Qian Er was there to be the bait, the fishing spot, the angler, and the fish were all in place, but the most important bait was missing, how could that work?!
“What went were just a few flesh avatars, you've seen them before.”
Qian Er said with the same faint smile as before.
“I before… you've been using flesh avatars to attend class these past few days?!”
Professor Zheng Xin originally intended to ask what was going on, but the words suddenly caught in his throat, his eyes wide, clearly recalling the out-of-place Qian Er from before.
“That's right.”
Pulling out chairs for his teacher and his teacher's wife, Qian Er acknowledged with a smile.
“…Your Bloodfire Saint's mastery of the Flesh Avatar skill is the strongest I've ever seen.”
For a moment, Zheng Xin didn't know what to say, and after a long silence, he slowly spoke, his tone full of amazement.
At the same time, a sense of crisis arose spontaneously.
Now he understood why that guy Shi Zhong was so eager to go into seclusion.
The feeling of being chased by wolves was really uncomfortable.
“Oh, right, Teacher, what is this?”
After chatting for a while, Qian Er suddenly took out the golden fruit from his backpack.
The moment he saw this fruit, Zheng Xin's eyes went wide.
Qian Er was all too familiar with this look; he had the same look when he saw good things.
He dared to bet that if they weren't at the Imperial Academy, or next to his wife, or if he wasn't his student, he would have snatched it directly.
Reluctantly looking away from the fruit, he then reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
“Did you catch a big fish?”
He asked in a heavy tone, without even asking what kind of fish he caught.
In fact, he already knew the moment the golden fruit appeared.
“Mm.”
Qian Er nodded.
“This is called a Golden Cloud Fruit, and it is the life crystallization of pets like the Moyun Vine.
The Zhao family, one of the Eight Great Families, has a Moyun Vine as their inherited pet.
This pet's special ability is called 'Aiding the Poor and Lending to the Needy'.
Originally, this phrase was a very good one, meaning to help poor people improve their living conditions and let them live in peace, but that's just the external explanation.
The Moyun Vine's ability is to lend power to the weak, but this needs to be repaid, and at several times the amount.”
“In other words, it's high-interest lending.
Because of the pet's characteristics, the people of the Zhao family have also been greatly influenced, and they all attach great importance to wealth.
This Golden Cloud Fruit is the manifestation of this ability.
The 'loans' collected by the Moyun Vine are stored within this fruit.
The majority of the Moyun Vine's energy is stored within it.
The stronger the Moyun Vine, the larger the Golden Cloud Fruit within it.
At the very least, I've never seen a Golden Cloud Fruit as large as this before.”
Zheng Xin restrained himself from looking at the Golden Cloud Fruit and said this.
“Then what's this used for?”
Qian Er became interested, looking at the Golden Cloud Fruit in his hand with amazement.
“It has many uses: replenishing origin, improving aptitude, increasing strength, enhancing physique, and so on.
It can almost comprehensively improve a pet.”
Logically speaking, such a good thing should drive many pets and pet tamers crazy, thus keeping the Moyun Vine in captivity specifically to produce Golden Cloud Fruits.
But neither Qian Er nor Zheng Xin mentioned this issue.
After all, the Ginseng Fruit of Wuzhuang Temple is also a good thing, so why didn't any monsters try to snatch it?
“You can eat this directly.
If you're lucky, you might even have a chance to comprehend the Moyun Vine's ability to lend at high interest, but I've only heard of it, I've never seen it happen.”
“Okay, thanks, Teacher.
This time, it's my treat.”
After saying that, Qian Er, who had already finished eating, immediately went to the window to pay the bill for Zheng Xin and his wife, then quickly returned to his dormitory.
“Come, come, Fourth, come out quickly, I have a good thing for you.”
Calling the Dreamweave Grass out from the End-of-World world, Qian Er took out the Golden Cloud Fruit and said.
The Dreamweave Grass, which was enjoying a feast of guardian-level and quasi-king-level pets, curiously raised its head.
This time's harvest was truly not small.
On average, all of Qian Er's pets could improve by one or two levels.
To know that these are quasi-king-level pets, and they can still improve by one or two levels, one can imagine how rich this harvest is.
“This is for you.”
Saying that, Qian Er handed the Golden Cloud Fruit to the Dreamweave Grass.
The moment it saw the Golden Cloud Fruit, the Dreamweave Grass's eyes went wide, feeling that every organ in its body was urging it to eat this thing quickly.
But just as the Dreamweave Grass was about to reach out its bead stalk to grab the Golden Cloud Fruit, it retreated again.
“Mi~ (Let's give it to Big Brother Human Sovereign Flag instead.)”
It said softly with a soft, glutinous cry.
“Don't give me that.
It's already evolved into a quasi-god, but you haven't yet.
Now, out of the four of us, you're the only one who hasn't found your own path.”
If others heard these words, they would definitely feel like dying.
A species value of 450 is already almost the same as the species value of most pet tamers, but on Qian Er's side, it's still just that they haven't found their own path.
Being persuaded by Qian Er like this, the Dreamweave Grass was still somewhat hesitant, which made Qian Er speechless.
“How could I have a pet as indecisive as you?
It seems that I still haven't paid enough attention to your personality development.”
Saying that, Qian Er directly grabbed the Dreamweave Grass and stuffed the Golden Cloud Fruit under its root system.
Helpless, the Dreamweave Grass could only stretch out its roots and take root in the Golden Cloud Fruit.
Soon, the golden fruit was drained of its juices, leaving only a dry, shriveled peel.
And the Dreamweave Grass's body also lit up with the white light of evolution.
Seeing this scene, Qian Er stood up with satisfaction and silently took out his camera, turning on the video recording mode.
“I wonder if it can comprehend the Moyun Vine's ability to lend at high interest.”
To be honest, Qian Er was a little envious of that ability.
