It was already late at night when Qian Er returned, and after taking a shower, he went back to his room and fell into a deep sleep.
Although he had rested well every day for a week, he still felt tired after returning home, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
He slept until noon the next day before waking up.
When he first woke up, seeing the bright sun outside, Qian Er thought he had missed the awarding ceremony.
Startled, he quickly got up, and while putting on his clothes, he called Professor Zheng.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered, and Professor Zheng's groggy voice came from the other end.
"Hello, what's wrong?"
The groggy voice clearly indicated that he hadn't woken up yet, which stunned Qian Er for a moment.
"Teacher, didn't you say that today is the day to receive the money? Why are you still sleeping? It's already eight o'clock."
Inside the room, hearing Qian Er's voice, Zheng Xin moved the phone away and tried hard to open his eyes, but only managed to open them a slit. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered whose voice it was.
"When did I say today to receive... oh, you mean the awarding ceremony, right? There's no rush for that. There are special protocols for these things. First, we need to hold a memorial ceremony in the capital, and then the speed of the procession is fixed. It will probably arrive here around three to four in the afternoon. Just wake up around that time."
After speaking, Professor Zheng Xin hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the busy tone of the phone, Qian Er lay back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
After lying down for a while, confirming that he was indeed not sleepy, he flipped over and sat up.
"Let's go, I'll take you guys out."
Releasing both the Myriad Transformations Demon and the Other Shore Flower, Qian Er threw the Other Shore Flower on his head, held the Myriad Transformations Demon in his hand, told the cat girl maid, and then pushed the door open and left the house.
He forcefully embedded his fingers into the Myriad Transformations Demon's body, lifting it up, and squeezing the clay-like Myriad Transformations Demon out of shape, letting it flow from between his fingers.
The Myriad Transformations Demon struggled a couple of times, and then slumped in Qian Er's hand, constantly making purring sounds like a cat being rubbed under the chin.
The seven-day war had been a blast for this little guy. With an unlimited supply of high-grade flesh and blood, although its level hadn't broken through, in terms of physical strength, the Myriad Transformations Demon's strength was no less than that of a Blood Ignition Saint just entering the garrison stage.
It should be known that the Myriad Transformations Demon's racial stats were what they were. Compared to the Blood Ignition Saint, they were completely worlds apart.
"Let's go, let's go get something to eat first."
Yawning, Qian Er walked towards the cafeteria. Normally speaking, the cafeteria wouldn't have any food left after eight o'clock, but he was special and could ask the chef to cook something special for him.
"Yo, it's Little Qian. It's been a while since I've seen you."
The people in the cafeteria all knew Qian Er. The chef, who was sitting at the dining table chatting with his colleagues, noticed Qian Er and greeted him with a smile.
Because the scope of the war was tightly restricted to the space created by the Ape Ancestor, they didn't know that just last week, humans and four victorious races had launched a war of extermination.
"It's nothing, I just went out to take care of some things. I wasn't in school last week. Hurry up and bring up something delicious, I'm starving to death."
Qian Er rubbed his stomach and said with a smile.
"Alright, you wait, I've been working on some new dishes these past two days. You're the first to try them."
The master chef stood up with a smile and walked back into the kitchen.
The master chef lived up to his name. Even the new dishes he had come up with didn't flop and suited Qian Er's taste quite well.
After eating his fill, Qian Er took his two pets towards the Pet Care Department. He was planning to crash a class there.
"Mee? (Aren't we going out to play?)"
Looking at the road to the teaching building, the Other Shore Flower, which was staying on Qian Er's head, perked up and asked, grabbing Qian Er's hair with two leaves.
"Of course we're going to play, don't worry."
Saying that, Qian Er walked into the teaching building of the Pet Care Department. This department was the liberal arts college of the Imperial Academy, a sub-department under the Pet Breeding Department, teaching various types of pet care, massage, and training. Students from the Imperial Academy often brought their pets here for care, which also served as teaching materials.
"You're here."
As soon as he walked into the teaching building, Qian Er noticed a woman who looked to be in her fifties, with elegant manners, standing in the hall waving at him.
"You must be Professor Lu Yuanshan."
Qian Er walked over with a smile and shook her hand. He had only made a reservation on the Care Department's website, but he didn't expect that this professor would personally come to greet him.
Professor Lu Yuanshan was also a pet master, but she wasn't one of those uniformly peak quasi-kings in the Pet Department, except for the Holy Department. Instead, she only had elite-level strength.
But elite-level strength couldn't hide her excellence. She was one of the few master-level pet care specialists in the world.
"It's me, come with me quickly, the students can't wait."
Professor Lu Yuanshan smiled slightly. Quasi-divine-level teaching materials were hard to find, especially since they not only had the Frost Lord, a traditional quasi-divine, but also the Blood Ignition Saint, a new type of quasi-divine that no one had replicated yet. Her students could be said to be in luck.
"Okay, by the way, Professor, I have quite a few types of pets. How do we usually take care of them in this situation?"
Qian Er followed behind Lu Yuanshan towards the open space behind the teaching building. The Frost Lord's size couldn't be accommodated in the teaching building.
"Haha, don't worry, our department has different care methods for different pets. For example, for skeleton-type pets like the Frost Lord, we will use bone sand and sandpaper to polish the bones. This can effectively relax the Frost Lord's body and make the bones more beautiful. Bone sand will also be integrated into the Frost Lord's body to enhance the Frost Lord's skeleton-type energy. Of course, the enhancement won't be too much, and you might not even notice it. This requires a long time of polishing. It won't be effective once or twice."
While Lu Yuanshan was explaining to Qian Er, the two had already walked out of the teaching building. Only then did Qian Er realize that there were already about twenty people waiting for him in the open space outside the teaching building.
After discovering Qian Er, their eyes lit up one by one.
"Junior Qian Er, you're finally here!"
A strong young man's eyes lit up, and he quickly squeezed past the students in front of him and approached Qian Er, saying.
"I was delayed a bit on the road."
Although Qian Er didn't know who this person was, he still explained with a smile.
"Then where are your pets?"
The young man didn't care, but still asked with shining eyes, which made Qian Er a little stunned.
Originally, he had guessed that this person wanted to curry favor with him, but he didn't expect that the purpose was to see his pets.
"Everyone step back a bit."
Qian Er said with a dumbfounded smile. As soon as he finished speaking, the students skillfully made way for a space.
The gate of the pet space was opened, and countless blood energy, yin energy, death energy, and cold energy poured out from it impatiently.
After the great melee some time ago, Qian Er's pets became even more ferocious, more sacred, and more solemn.
