《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 71: Its Answer Was Firm And Forceful
Advertisement
"Hello, please show us your contract certificate."
Contract proof… What the hell was that?
Su Hao pondered.
Why did it seem like… it's proof to show that your son is your son?
Indeed…
The process of applying for a sprite's ID card was a power dissuasion.
At this point, the staff member added with a professional smile, "It's proof of the Sprite Care House or related facilities when buying sprites."
"If you can use Sprite Commandeering, sir, using a Sprite Commandeering that can clearly be identified can also prove your contractual relationship with sprites."
Understood!
It turned out that the instructions stated that they needed Sprite Trainers to accompany the Sprites just for show.
Su Hao was considering which type of Sprite Commandeering to use.
Accelerate? Not obvious enough.
Persist? Persist your head!
Protection? The relationship with the sprite couldn't be told.
"I think I can only use Summon."
At this point, Coach Xiong said from the side, "Just take out that certificate when you were applying for official Sprite Trainers."
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
He took out a piece of paper… It was the certificate given to him during the application process.
The ID wasn't issued to him, but this temporary certificate had a seal on it.
There was also information about the sprites he registered on it.
Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow.
After registering the information as he had hoped, Su Hao heard the staff member speak again.
"To apply for an identity card, your sprite needs to have basic behavioral abilities. There's a small test question for your sprite later…"
Su Hao looked at Coach Xiong.
There was such a thing?
Coach Xiong widened his eyes, his eyes filled with the words "I don't know either".
He coughed a little awkwardly and said, "After all, I've never done it for a sprite. It's just hearsay."
Su Hao was fooled directly by him!
But the registration had already been done. If he said that he wasn't going to do it now, wouldn't that be a little too…
He could only blame himself for trusting the instructor too much. He neither saw it clearly nor asked clearly - everything was written at the side!

Luckily,
Su Hao didn't wait long.
Shortly after, the staff member led him, Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow into a large room.
The tall and muscular Coach Xiong was stopped outside the door.
Su Hao looked over. The large room was like a classroom.
The classroom of a children's class.
Sprites of small sizes squatted, crawled, and sat in their seats, while Sprite Trainers like Su Hao stood at the back like parents.
The moment he entered, Su Hao saw a Little Ground Wolf barking and running out.
Behind him, a middle-aged woman was shouting, "Hey, where are you going! Sit down! Come back here!"
This was probably the kind of behavior that wouldn't meet the requirements.
A staff member walked over and announced, "This small test won't take too much time. To cut a long story short, let's invite our examiner, Ms. Dancer, right now."
A sprite about 1.3 to 4 meters tall walked in with graceful steps. Its head was like a blooming purple flower, with a few tiny petals and calyxes hanging down to form limbs.
The torso position in the middle was covered by two intersecting red petals.
It was a dance dress that looked like it had a fork in it. As it walked, white flowers… appeared.
Flowers of the Moon have turned into sprites!
Moon Dancer.
Su Hao recognized this type of sprite.
It was the evolved form of a seedling.
Its final evolved form, the Moon Empress, had very harsh evolutionary conditions.
It had little to do with strength and age.
Instead, it was related to "beauty".
Only the most beautiful of the Moon Balls and Moon Dancers could evolve into the Moon Empress.
There could only be one.
Even if the Moon Empress left the race, no other Moon Dancers could evolve into its form before it died.
A magical race.
Miraculous sprites.
This Moon Dancer which came out to "work" was definitely not fated to be the Moon Empress.
Moon Dancer walked onto the stage. It crossed its arms in front of its chest and bowed slightly. "Fufu ~!"
It felt like a performer, not an examiner.
It deserved its name as a dancer.

But it didn't waste any more time as it started the behavioral ability test.
The test tested one's intelligence, ability to recognize, and mental state.
It was known as common knowledge.
The staff member released a picture and projected it onto the projector.
"Chirp ~ Chirp ~ Chirp ~ Chirp ~"
So, this Moon Dancer was supposed to interact with the sprites.
Many sprites could understand what humans were saying, but humans… unless they were contracted Sprite Trainers, it was very difficult for them to understand what sprites were saying.
But sprites could understand each other.
Even though…
Su Hao didn't understand it either. One was "fufu", the other was "gurgle". How exactly did they communicate with different languages?
He didn't understand what Moon Dancer was whining about, but he could understand the words on the picture.
[First question, look at the picture (1001.jpg)] and make your answer]
Which building did the pictures represent?
The hospital, the bus stop, the Sprite Care House, and the police station.
"Puff puff ~"
Silkworm Baby answered right away, "Gurgle!"
Little Fire Crow also learned some general knowledge along the way. It knew that places with cars were called car stations.
In the large room, the cries of the sprites rose and fell.
There were actually not many sprites in this batch who applied for IDs. Including Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow, there were only a total of ten sprites. Before this, there was even a Little Ground Wolf… Cough, Little Ground Wolf.
The entry-level Moon Dancer, could easily tell who among the nine sprites answered decisively, who hesitated, who was right, and who was wrong.
But there was one Little Fire Crow that it could never be sure of.
Intuition told Moon Dancer that this Little Fire Crow was clearly a little confused when it saw a more complex problem.
But its answers to the questions were absolute, firm, and forceful.
It was only slightly slower than the knowledgeable Silkworm Baby.
It didn't look like a sprite that was following along to study.
After all, the answers to every question hadn't been announced, so they didn't know who had the higher rate of correct answers.
It wasn't like there were no sprites who rushed to answer but got it all wrong.
Those sprites even led other sprites astray.
This Little Fire Crow didn't.
"Puff puff!"
How could the Moon Dancer not be able to judge any sprite itself!?
It held up a piece of cardboard that it had long prepared for the human staff standing at the side.
There were a few words written on it: Increase the force… Ah, no, increase the difficulty.
New pictures appeared on the projector.
"Furry ~!"
Moon Dancer began to read the question.
The pictures showed a car station, a train station, a high-speed rail station, and even a bus station!
This question was extremely difficult!
Before the Moon Dancer went on duty, it took it a long time of training to understand the differences between these several stations.
How could that stupid crow know the answers!
Its gaze was fixed on Little Fire Crow.
Then, Little Fire Crow tilted its head and covered its head with its black wings, looking like it was frowning in thought.
But the speed of its answers was second only to Silkworm Baby.
Its voice was unusually firm.
"Squawk! Squawk!"
The Moon Dancer was defeated.
Among the last nine sprites, only three were judged to have basic behavioral abilities.
It was determined by the number of correct answers they had during the questioning process.
Apart from Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow, the other was an entry-level Superpower Gibbon.
Its Sprite Trainer, a young man in his twenties, walked over to greet Su Hao.
"Impressive, one look and I can tell that you're an excellent Sprite Trainer who emphasizes on the comprehensive development of sprites' moral, knowledge, beauty and physical attributes."
"No, no, you're awesome too."
But Su Hao found it strange.
Logically speaking, Little Fire Crow loved to be in a daze most of the time… It was actually also a Cultural Crow?
Little Fire Crow hovered over his head and kept calling out "Squawk, Squawk".
It then flew to Silkworm Baby's side.
Showing its respect for Boss.
No matter what the Boss said, it stood firm and strong, carrying it out to the end.
Without any hesitation at all.
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
