《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 205: The Chief Tool Person, Is You! (First Update)
Advertisement
He, Su Hao, was an unknown high-level Sprite Cultivator.
With a new and fruitless laboratory.
In just a few days, 36 elementary-level Sprite Cultivators had submitted their resumes.
He could only say…
The platform was awesome.
His high-level certificate and laboratory were all certified by the platform, and they were very attractive to newbie Sprite Cultivators.
"Let me see who submitted their resumes."
Su Hao browsed through them one by one.
Lin XX, a fresh graduate of Tiannan University.
He got a Sprite Cultivator license in his third year of university.
His specialty was… having no specialties.
Chen XX, a fourth-year student at Eastwood University.
During his first year of university, he passed the entry-level Sprite Cultivator assessment.
He was once the president of the student union of Eastwood University and received multiple awards.
Su Hao looked at the "XX Competition", "XX Competition" first prize, second prize, and so on and fell into deep thought.
"I've never won an award before, no… I've never heard of these competitions, bad reviews!"
He then looked at the third person.
Wang XX, a fourth-year student at Star Sky University.
His specialty was… money.
He was a rich second-generation heir.
"Drop it, next one."
"To me, abilities aren't the most important. Those who want to come to my laboratory to get rich are even less so."
What Su Hao wanted was just a tool that wouldn't gain emotions.
One who could meticulously complete his "arranged" missions.
Strong ability? Perhaps he would have a lot of opinions too. No.
Gilded? It was very likely that he would jump ship in the future. That wouldn't do either.
What he wanted was someone who wasn't talented but was serious in doing things and could keep secrets!
"Anyone with an impressive background will be rejected."
"Those with too many opinions, or even those who are restless will be rejected."
"Those who think they're awesome have to be rejected."
"If your grades are poor, you will have to be rejected too… Otherwise, what if you can't even use the devices?"
Su Hao kept selecting. In the end, there were only five people left.
Xie Tianhe, You Jingzhu, Zeng Kangcheng, Ru Qianqian, and Kong Yun.
All five of them were fourth-year students or fresh graduates.
After Su Hao confirmed, he sent them an email informing them to go to [Location Address] for the interview tomorrow morning.
...
The next day, at 8 a.m.
A black car stopped at the entrance of the laboratory.
Xie Tianhe got out of the car in a white shirt and black trousers.
At this moment…
Two Sprite Trainers were guarding the security pavilion by the gate.
High-level Sprite Trainers.
They were temporary workers Su Hao hired from Yunhua City's Association of Sprite Trainers.
They acted as a front.
Xie Tianhe followed one of them to the reception room on the second floor of the laboratory building.

He came the earliest and only saw a young man in a white coat.
He thought, that he must be someone from the laboratory.
He immediately greeted, "Hello, Senior."
Even though Xie Tianhe felt that the young man in front of him was very likely a university student, and was younger than him.
But...
The other party was most likely the official student of that high-level Sprite Cultivator.
Calling him "Senior" and leaving a good impression might be the key to him standing out from the competition!
That senior greeted him, but his expression was a little strange.
Xie Tianhe didn't think too much about it. After seeing the senior leave, he sat down and waited patiently.
Before long…
The other interviewers arrived one after another.
Xie Tianhe observed.
Apart from him, there were a total of four people.
The three girls and one boy were about the same age.
The boy sitting not far from him looked short and thin. He sat there with his head lowered, not saying a word.
Among the girls, one of them was wearing glasses. The Little Lotus Leaf she contracted was still not entry-level, and from the looks of it, it seemed to lack confidence… Xie Tianhe crossed her off the list of strong competitors.
Only the other two girls…
One was dressed maturely and was actually wearing a low-cut dress. He couldn't look anymore!
The other person was dressed professionally like him. The contracted sprite was a Tarō Mori, and she even brought a laptop… She gave off the feeling that she was professional.
The latter two were strong opponents!
After all, that high-level Sprite Cultivator could at most recruit one to two people.
Xie Tianhe compared them to himself.
At the same time, he was also wondering how the owner of the laboratory would test them.
Ask questions, or something else?
Thud!
In the reception room, it was exactly 9 a.m. sharp.
The young man in the white coat appeared again.
Xie Tianhe was the first to stand up. He opened his mouth and was just about to greet his senior to deepen his impression when he heard…
"I'm the owner of the laboratory and also the publisher of the recruitment notice. My surname is Su. Now, follow me."
Xie Tianhe's 'senior…', 'senior…' were stuck in his throat. His gaze gradually became' f*ck '.
...
"He's Teacher S-S… Su?"
They knew that the laboratory belonged to a high-level Sprite Cultivator named Su Hao.
But...
No one told them that Teacher Su was so young!
Perhaps Teacher Su looked young, but his real age was at most 30!
A high-level Sprite Cultivator at the age of 30?!
He had a bright future!
Many thoughts emerged in their minds, but they were only surprised for a moment before quickly following up.
...
"Yeah, it's alright, I'm not surprised."
Su Hao connected his cell phone to the surveillance cameras of the laboratory building. When he saw the performance of the five candidates, he nodded slightly.

Patient, quiet, curious, and not questioning…
It was his basic requirement.
The five selected people were barely qualified tools.
Which tool was better, then…
He walked up the stairs to the fourth floor, turned around, and looked at the five people in front of him.
"My test is very simple. Assist my sprite in completing an experiment, an experiment to collect data from the Wood Mantis. Whoever can, will stay."
To assist the teacher in completing the experiment…
The assessment project wasn't out of Xie Tianhe's expectations, and the reactions of the others were similar.
They were all experienced, not laboratory newcomers.
But suddenly…
One of them was stunned, and the other two were stunned…
They discovered something wrong.
What Teacher Su said just now was…
'Assist my… sprite', not 'assist me'?!
Applicant No. 1: "???"
Applicant No. 2: "???"
...
Applicant No. 5: "???"
Their gazes moved and saw the sprite… on top of Teacher Su's head.
It was a Reverie Butterfly.
"Gurgle~!"
That Reverie Butterfly called and waved at them.
Xie Tianhe was stunned for a moment before he understood.
He understood!
He understood everything!
Helping a high-level Sprite Cultivator to complete the experiment was too simple and ordinary!
Without any difficulty, how could they showcase their respective abilities?
Assisting a sprite to complete the experiment was the difficulty of the test.
No wonder Teacher Su could get a high-level title at such a young age. His way of thinking was indeed different from ordinary Sprite Cultivators like them!
He secretly sized up the others, feeling that none of his competitors noticed Teacher Su's intentions.
Their comprehension abilities were too poor.
It looked like he was going to win.
...
After watching the applicants enter the laboratory, Su Hao stood outside the door for a few seconds, then went straight to the monitoring room.
He only looked at it in the surveillance footage, not from the scene.
Why?
Because he wasn't familiar with the equipment!
That was why he got Butterfly to host the experiment.
"Anyway, the little rascal has always wanted to try the feeling of doing research. I'll give this opportunity to it."
...
In the laboratory.
The candidates looked at one another. They didn't know where to start.
At this moment, they saw that Reverie Butterfly pressed a switch. The next moment, on the left side of the laboratory, the alloy wall suddenly opened on both sides. Dark green sprites were hitting the floor and the wall with tinkling sounds.
It was Wood Mantises, ten of them.
They were all wild.
Wild sprites weren't very obedient. Was it really okay for them to appear directly in the laboratory without anesthesia?
What if the devices were damaged?
They thought to themselves, and told their sprites to watch closely again.
The next moment…
"Gurgle~!"
That Reverie Butterfly called out.
They saw that the wild and less obedient Wood Mantis actually sat upright one by one, and even lined up quickly.
One of them twisted in the wrong direction, its butt facing the door. It was knocked by the arm of another Wood Mantis, and pulled back.
The candidates were stunned.
"Gurgle~!"
That Reverie Butterfly turned around and shouted at them.
Just as Xie Tianhe and the other candidates were perplexed, their sprites called out.
"Howl ~!"
"Chirp, chirp!"
"Woo~!"
Their sprites translated for them, telling them to quickly get on the devices and experiment on the Wood Mantises!
So… this was what the interview requirement meant by bringing along one's sprites!
The Wood Mantises stood in a row forward.
The interviewers began to measure data and collect samples with devices.
And summarize them for the one leading the experiment… Reverie Butterfly.
They only used dozens of minutes to complete the full physical examination of the ten Wood Mantises!
Their cooperation was pretty good.
It was very efficient.
As expected of high-level Sprite Cultivators, the experiment idea was so clear…
Clear…
Clear…
Xie Tianhe suddenly remembered that Butterfly, which was using its Psychic power to control the equipments, was… just a sprite!
A sprite could actually host an experiment!!!
Teacher Su was indeed a high-level Sprite Cultivator at such a young age!
In order to learn from the young and promising Teacher Su, he had to apply successfully!
...
At the same time, in the control room.
Su Hao was observing the performance of the candidates through the surveillance cameras in the laboratory.
Two men and three women.
There was no problem with the basics.
Su Hao focused on observing their performance in other aspects.
For example…
Several people cast their gazes at Butterfly from time to time, their expressions either curious or shocked.
"Number One glanced at it three times."
"Number Two has peeked five times."
"No. 3… No. 5 is the most focused, or the least curious, and has been working hard."
No. 3 is an inconspicuous girl, and No. 5 is an inconspicuous man.
Su Hao observed the two of them for a while and was rather satisfied.
Serious, but not outstanding.
It was his ideal tool model.
He thought about it and pulled up their information.
Kong Yun came from a poor family… In the beginning, she didn't get into a Sprite University, but only got into an ordinary specialization at Tiannan University. Later on, she got the opportunity to transfer her Sprite Cultivator license from self-study to the Sprite Cultivator specialization.
Zeng Kangcheng came from an ordinary family, but he was luckier. He passed the written test… for a Sprite Cultivator licence during high school.
Later on, he successfully got into a Sprite University.
The two of them.
One was a short and thin boy.
The other was a girl wearing glasses. Her looks were only ordinary.
Su Hao observed for a while and made a decision.
"You."
