《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 106: Professor Meng's Invitation
Advertisement
They were going back tomorrow.
In the camp…
Su Hao was still writing cultivation plans.
As his name gradually became more known, the number of elite-level Sprite Trainers who approached him also increased.
He didn't expect this.
Indeed, gold would shine brightly.
But he had many troubles too.
Even if he could compress it to one plan per hour, he still couldn't design a cultivation plan for the sprite of every Sprite Trainer.
He, a Sprite Cultivator, had to use his brain to come up with a cultivation plan!
It was very tough!
Most importantly, his brain analysis might be able to shorten the time, but the handwritten plan wouldn't.
An hour was already his limit.
Brain: Do it faster, do it faster.
Hands: I can't do it.
Since Su Hao didn't want to make things difficult for himself, he didn't continue to shorten the time. Two to three hours was more or less enough.
It wouldn't seem too infertile.
Appropriate slacking could also make himself less tired.
As for money?
It was fine if he earned less, he wasn't a money-grubber like Reverie Butterfly, wasn't earning more than 2 million yuan in just a few days enough?
"Gurgle?!!"
It stared at the one, two, three, four, five, six… There were so many zeros in Su Hao's account.
The little guy sank into contemplation.
Indeed, my way of earning money is wrong, coo ~!
...
The next day, the research team started their return trip.
Apart from having lunch and a short rest, they had been on the road the whole day. By the time they returned to Deer Snow Town, it was already dusk.
The Sprite Cultivators were exhausted.
Especially for female Sprite Cultivators. It was alright if they were just tired or sleepy.
Being unable to take a bath for more than ten days in the wild was a bit uncomfortable, especially for Tang Xin and the others who came from the south.
One by one, they ran into the hotel and slammed the door shut.
However, elite Sprite Trainers like Zhong Yunrui had long gotten used to it. They just went off to play while whistling.
Before he left, he even invited Su Hao along.
But…
Su Hao rejected it righteously.
It wasn't that he wanted to reject him, but rather, he still needed to earn money to raise himself and his sprites.

"I still have three orders in my hands. I'll settle them all tonight."
— Not all Sprite Trainers approached him for consultation, either.
Some thought that their own cultivation plans were pretty good, while others didn't want to look familiar in front of him… Well, they didn't realize how outstanding he was.
In addition, others could tell at a glance whether his sprite analysis was good or bad.
But these Sprite Trainers couldn't understand the good and bad of the cultivation plans, they needed time to verify it.
At the end of the day, it was because he wasn't famous enough.
And Sprite Cultivator was a profession that depended on fame.
Professional evaluation? Primary-level? Intermediate-level? Advanced-level? That's too vague.
Many Sprite Trainers, especially those with money, were more willing to choose famous Sprite Cultivators.
There was a vast difference between an ordinary and a well-known Sprite Cultivator in terms of their capabilities in earning money.
For example, Professor Meng was a well-known high-level Sprite Cultivator.
Many people approached Professor Meng for consultation. Money was the most basic thing, and one needed to make an appointment, or even possess a certain status.
At Master Chen Ping's level, he had long stopped doing Sprite Cultivation consultations. Only a Heavenly King-level Sprite Trainer or someone with connections could get Master Chen Ping to take action.
"However, after Brother Zhong and the other Sprite Trainers verify the excellence of my cultivation plans, my reputation as Great Sprite Cultivator Su should be able to spread a little more."
"At the very least, we can develop a few stable customers."
...
After returning to Deer Snow Town, he looked for the manager of the primordial area to register and receive remuneration. His work was finally over.
Water Spirit Foal was also one of the "rewards". Su Hao brought it for registeration at the Administration Office, recorded its information, and uploaded it to the Union of Sprite Trainers. In the future, he would have three sprites under his name.
Reverie Butterfly, Flaming Cloud Crow, Water Spirit Foal.
They could all play a game of mahjong together.
"If I contract another sprite, won't we be able to play mobile games as a team together?"
It was just that Su Hao expressed his doubts about the gaming skills of Flaming Cloud Crow and Water Spirit Foal.

After a night's rest in Deer Snow Town, everyone in the team prepared to leave. Someone booked a bus so Su Hao was just about to hitch a ride to leave.
When he went downstairs, he met Professor Meng and the others who were eating breakfast.
"Little Su."
She waved.
Su Hao put on a warm smile and walked over. "Good morning, Professor Meng."
Professor Meng, who was already in her early forties, maintained herself very well. She was still looking charming. She sized up the young man in front of her.
At first, she didn't know about Su Hao.
The team hired some Sprite Cultivators just to reduce the workload and shorten the time. They were tools, so she didn't care who they were.
But later, those Sprite Trainers approached Su Hao for consultation and this finally attracted her attention.
After a brief understanding, she found out that the person was Su Hao.
At such a young age, Su Hao had already discovered a new evolution pathway for a type of sprite.
Perhaps it was luck, but luck only favored those who put in effort.
She really admired talented and hardworking juniors.
She asked, "Are you interested in coming to our Black Dragon University?"
She paused for a moment. "Although Black Dragon University can't compare to a prestigious school, its Sprite Cultivation specialization isn't that far off. If you want to apply for Black Dragon University, the school can directly accept you as a specially-recruited student."
"Not only that, the school's resources can be allocated to you as well. You can even enter the primordial areas within Dragon Nation. My laboratory is also open to you. In fact, as long as you achieve a certain level of results and are willing to stay in school in the future, the school can assist you in building your own research team and laboratory."
"If it is a prestigious school, it would be hard to get such good treatment."
Professor Meng's students were all stunned when they heard this.
Who exactly was this Su Hao?
It wasn't that they were ignorant. There was just a lot of information in modern society. They knew about the Reverie Butterfly Enchantment Evolution, but who would remember the author of a paper?
It was just that most of them had never actually read theses.
Even Su Hao was a little surprised.
He had to admit that Professor Meng's conditions were very practical.
In terms of research resources alone, Black Dragon University was indeed not much worse than a prestigious school.
The cost of building a Sprite Care Laboratory and a research team was even more astronomical.
Su Hao had heard about it before.
All high-level Sprite Cultivators had assistants or students.
For example, Professor Meng's team and laboratory were one of the signboards of Black Dragon University.
Su Hao also wanted to build a team so that he could better utilize the value of the interface.
But it was too early.
Firstly, he didn't have the funds, and secondly, he didn't have the ability.
Even if he wanted to build it, he wouldn't borrow the power of others — a team built by himself wouldn't be restricted by others.
He pretended to consider it for a while and said with a bitter smile, "Thank you for your appreciation, Professor Meng, but I've already decided to choose the Sprite Commandeering specialization, so…"
It was a bit of a pity for Professor Meng, but she didn't keep him any longer.
After chatting a little more, Su Hao left.
It was not until Professor Meng had also finished her breakfast and left the place when her students began to talk in low voices. All of them were asking who Su Hao was.
Someone took out his cell phone and searched with the intention of giving it a try. He took a look…
"Gosh! Brilliant! Impressive!"
Luo Cheng walked over and took a look. He staggered as if he had been struck by lightning.
It was alright if he couldn't win against Su Hao's sprites. After all, sprite cultivation was his home field. But why…
"It seems that my cultivation level and research level are also inferior to his?!"
"Be more confident…" said his senior.
Luo Cheng looked over as if he had discovered his savior.
Then he heard…
"Remove the word 'seems'."
Luo Cheng: "???"
...
An City.
The sky wasn't as blue as the primordial area. It was noisy with people coming and going, but it was the city he was most familiar with.
Su Hao took a deep breath.
"You're back. From now on, you can seriously prepare for the College Entrance Examination."
