《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 169: The Final Voting
Advertisement
It was actually a sprite that could speak human language!
Apart from the Luohan Panda, the Tyrant Bear in front of him was the second sprite that Su Hao had seen that could speak human language.
He had never seen Senior Wu's Trading Puppet speak before.
"Hmm… Perhaps the puppet itself doesn't know how to speak?"
Su Hao opened the interface and took a look.
The Tyrant Bear in front of him was indeed monarch rank.
He couldn't see anything more specific.
Many messages were a series of "???".
Su Hao looked towards the direction Tyrant Bear was pointing towards.
It was the food storage area.
There was spiritual jade, some strange vegetables and fruits, and a lot of fresh meat.
Su Hao saw a bunch of thigh meat thicker than his waist.
In the beginning, he thought it was sprite meat. In his mind, the demonic aura of Bear King Mountain filled the air, and the bears revealed their ferocious big mouths and fangs.
But thinking about it, that wasn't the case.
The curriculum of "Introduction to the New World" stated that in the New World, there were also ordinary creatures apart from sprites.
With plants, there would naturally be animals.
In the New World environment, there were many ferocious beasts that were even more ferocious than tigers and lions.
But no matter how ferocious a beast was, it was still trash compared to sprites.
Usually, sprites do not need to consume meat.
The breeding, growth, and living environment of sprites were practically two unrelated circles compared to ordinary creatures.
It was only until the chefs of Dragon Nation showed the Bear King Mountain sprites to a whole new world.
...
After walking around the place where the ingredients were placed, Su Hao finally saw some familiar bottles and cans.
For example, pepper sauce, sesame sauce, black pepper, cumin powder, and so on. These were all seasonings provided by Dragon Nation.
Su Hao was initially worried that he had not brought sufficient items.
Now, he was relieved.
Everything he had brought was here.
Everything he hadn't brought was here too.
"Very good, the goal is to conquer the stomachs of dozens of sprites!"
In the food ingredient area, Su Hao also saw other candidates.
One of them was one of the master-levels.
His moves showed his experience, and he seemed to be able to recognize a lot of the strange ingredients… He looked like a part-time chef.
Su Hao labelled him as a strong competitor.
The other person was also older than him, he was a young man, and probably had already graduated from university.
He was still an official Sprite Cultivator… The young man's gaze was always on the spiritual jade, but when he looked at the ingredients, he seemed very hesitant.
Clearly, he could not identify much of them.

Master-level Sprite Trainer Chen Ming saw it and was relieved.
"The three of us are the most direct competitors…
"But they are young after all, their understanding of the New World is far inferior to mine."
Especially…
He looked at Su Hao.
He had heard about how outstanding this young man was.
But he was just a first-year, it was very likely that he had never explored the wild in the New World.
How would he know to differentiate between the weird ingredients?
Relying on spiritual jades?
The jade powder set meal also required the addition of other ingredients.
In other aspects… everyone came to the cooking area. Who wasn't a Sprite Cultivator?
He brushed away their threats and looked at the ingredients in front of him, taking them at a steady pace.
A complete train of thought had already formed in Chen Ming's mind.
He reached out his hand.
Suddenly, he paused and turned his peripheral vision to the side.
When he saw the student named Su… Su Hao, who had quickly picked up various ingredients and spiritual jades.
"Is he fooling around?"
"No, wait…"
He saw Su Hao pick a few ingredients on the left, then walk to the right, running towards a certain ingredient with great purpose.
He did not seem to be picking at random!
"These ingredients indeed seem to be very compatible!!"
"Impossible, has he come into contact with these ingredients before?!"
"Even if he has, can he be like me, with more than ten years of experience?"
Su Hao… certainly didn't.
He took a few, then glanced at the interface.
Thanks to the high standards of ingredients provided by Bear King Mountain, they could appear on the interface.
[Seven-Colored Vine Fruit: Plucked from the Seven-Colored Vine. Its attributes are respectively Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder fruits. Sprites will be greatly benefitted after consuming it. Its effect is even better when paired with XXX, as below…]
[Remarks: After the Seven-Colored Vine bears seven fruits, it withers and dies.]
[Red Sun Flower: It can only be picked at noon when the sun is at its brightest. After being mixed with special methods, it can increase the temperature of sprite flames… It can be eaten multiple times.]
Su Hao was hungry for them.
The sight of it made him drool.
Not every ingredient could be displayed on the interface.
He didn't want those that were of too low quality.
If he did not understand, he would just not take them.
After selecting, he borrowed the complete facilities of Bear King Mountain and started to fiddle around.
The chef Tyrant Bear, who could only speak human language, kept nodding when it saw him.
When Chen Ming and the other nameless boy noticed, the pressure on them increased.
What kind of monster was he!

...
While the eight competitors were using their own methods, in the living room of Bear King Mountain, bears walked over with plates filled with fruit, nuts and vintage wine.
Some big bosses who came to Bear King Mountain for the first time took a few looks. They felt that no matter from which angle they looked at it, there was a strong sense of familiarity.
Oh…
When they thought about it, the scene in front of them seemed to be… somewhat similar to some film and television series.
The way these bears treated their guests looked…
It was also learned from some movies in Dragon Nation.
The computer provided by Dragon Nation to Bear King Mountain naturally contained countless movies, cartoons, and novels, apart from games.
Certainly.
There were no textbooks, history books, or related videos.
Everything stored in the computer was mainly for entertainment.
"Who do you think will come first?"
Heavenly King Wu said with a smile as he looked at Heavenly King Lu, whose hair was standing on end.
Heavenly King Lu's face darkened. He snorted. "Who doesn't know what you're thinking? But your little junior might not be able to get first place. In my opinion, the one with the most votes should be Chen Ming."
Heavenly King Wu thought about it and surprisingly didn't retort.
He didn't really think that Su Hao could win the highest vote either.
In terms of experience and methods, Chen Ming, who was a generation older, was much richer than Su Hao.
But as long as he was stronger than Old Ghost Lu's student.
Crush him.
That would make Heavenly King Wu very pleased.
"Well… he still has to try my best to get high votes."
There was an unwritten rule when searching for sprite contracts in the future.
When the two of them took a fancy to a sprite at the same time, who had the highest vote and who had the priority to seduce… the right to try.
...
From afternoon, till night.
Then through the night.
Su Hao used the Su-style set meal he created himself to gain a lot of good reviews from Bear Sprites.
"With so many bears enjoying it, even if only a third or a quarter of them vote, I can still get 20 votes."
...
Master-level Sprite Trainer Chen Ming also gained a lot of praise after the bear sprites tasted the delicacies cooked by him.
"I've underestimated that young man Su Hao, but with food and other aspects, my vote count definitely won't be low."
...
In the Thunder Prison Cultivation Area.
Wang Wu, a master-level Sprite Trainer with the Purple Lightning Wings, had very rich experience in how thunder-element sprites used thunder to cultivate.
He was giving pointers to some Rolling Beasts and Electric Bears.
"What a pity. It's very difficult to achieve immediate results in a day of cultivation. Seriously, the bear sprites of Bear King Mountain are either addicted to delicacies or computers!
"Damn it, I wonder if I can get 20 votes!"
...
"Fiery Bird students will never admit defeat!"
Wu Hang had already given up on the "Union of Sprite Trainers" game. Starting from "If it's a sprite, then go up to 100 levels", he finally attracted some bear types.
"20 votes, I must get it!"
...
At this moment…
Butterfly was no longer playing games with the Bear Sprites.
Because its name was gradually spreading.
Every bear wanted to team up with it.
Butterfly thought for a while and felt that there was no point in torturing noobs, so it went back to its old profession.
"Butterfly's class is starting…"
They had already changed places and arrived at a multimedia classroom.
Butterfly danced in mid-air as the computer connected to the huge projector screen behind.
He looked down.
Tyrant Bears, Thunder Roarings and Luohan Pandas sat in rows.
In order to ensure that all the sprites could see, Butterfly even let the shorter sprites sit in the front and the taller ones in the back.
It then started to lecture.
It wasn't just about the Union of Sprite Trainers game, but also about other things.
For example, a game called "Cut me down if you're a bear".
He also recommended a lot of movies, cartoons, and novels to his friends from the Bear tribe.
For example, the book it had written.
"Gurgle~"
It was a little regretful.
Bear King Mountain's Internet was a regional network.
The novels they read were also pirated novels, so they couldn't increase its income.
"Gurgle~"
It pondered, but the lecture didn't stop.
It went on until the next day.
In the middle, it played a few games with its newly gained fans.
Many Bear tribe sprites who were originally addicted to delicacies or stayed in the cultivation area also joined in when they heard the news.
Some had bright eyes and looked like they were fanboying.
Some were impressed by its skills and wanted to cozy up to it so they could play together.
His fans kept increasing in numbers.
Finally…
It was noon the next day.
Many Heavenly Kings and soon-to-be Heavenly Kings came to the square in front of the hall.
The Luohan Panda Elder stepped forward, his mouth slightly agape. "Woo…"
The sound spread far and wide.
Not long after…
Bear tribe sprites walked out of the Internet cafe's main hall or other buildings.
They participated in only one voting event per year.
Su Hao and the other eight contestants had also done what they needed to do. They had long arrived here to wait for the final result.
Puff~
At this moment.
Reverie Butterfly flew over and landed on his head.
Su Hao hadn't seen it for a day. He was just about to ask something when the Luohan Panda Elder spoke.

Cosmic Bulldozing Team
"Welcome to the Cosmic Bulldozing Team! CBT for short... references to any other acronyms are purely coincidental." Breve has one exceptional gift: an inborn potential for Resurrection magic. The cost? Every other healing spell she casts is absolutely paltry in comparison to the rest of her race, making her family outcasts within her society. That potential alone, however, classes Breve as a Rank A Healer. By what metric? Well, by the crazy elf lady who’s about to destroy her planet. Wait, what? Here's the low-down: her planet has been targeted by the Cosmic Bulldozing Team, which, as their name suggests, operates in the apparently lucrative business of destroying planets. This comes with the unfortunate side-effect of also murdering everyone who lives there. And Breve would’ve been killed, too, if she hasn’t unintentionally passed their audition for a new healer. Unwillingly saved by the people who just annihilated everything Breve ever knew and loved, she’s dragged into a massive spaceship before, without a moment’s reprieve, being assigned missions to sally forth and commit the same atrocities on other planets. And with Breve's home lying in a pile of celestial bedrock, it seems that cooperating is the only option. And she will cooperate, or so help her, they'll send her back whence she came: into the void of space, where the smashed rubble of her planet now drifts along. "Buckle in, rookie: you've got some planetary destruction ahead of you." (Updates every 2 days.)

Aggravated Defense (Progression LitRPG)
A quick TL;DR pitch. LitRPG Apocalypse with group progression, a non-overpowered mc, a limited skill-slot System where having a single skill over your opponent could make a big difference. A barrier mage mc who isn’t an Edgelord A sentient System that’s a character in its own right. And no harem or cheat skills. ~<>~<>~ Steven knew the world had ended when a great green and purple dome covered the city of Anchorage. Then things got weirder. First earthquakes, then bolts fell from the sky, changing and twisting the things they hit. Steven, stuck in the throes of apathy, had sought shelter out of boredom more than anything else. But when some fellow survivors are separated and trapped by a rampaging moose, an emotion breaks through his apathy. He can’t turn away. Some people say it’s everyone for themselves at the end of the world. Steven disagreed ~<>~<>~ Will update every Sunday and Tuesday at 9:00am, unless the chapter is beefy, then we'll just have one that week. For some more meta details about this story, it’s a LitRPG Apocalypse with a focus on abilities and how they are used over stats and numbers. It will have group progression, a non-overpowered protagonist, and a focus on unique and interesting classes. No overwhelming advantages for the main crew or broken cheat skills. No harem, some amount of gore, decent levels of profanity.
