Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 73
Advertisement
The week passed quickly, and May came. An entire week was spent doing the tests, and it took almost three days for them to get over it.
The most heated discussion among the students was who would be first, and this gave others the feeling that whoever obtained first place was more important than their ranking.
Su Bai spent his days as usual, attending classes at school and training with his friends, just Chen Rouxue, or alone.
The previously formulated No. 1 potion for the cub had been completely used up. On Saturday, they went to the cultivation room to prepare twenty bottles of energy potions and one hundred energy medicinal cakes.
He spent his salary as a trainer this month making so many energy potions he even had to fork out an extra 200,000 yuan.
In this way, he had only more than 200,000 yuan left. Thanks to his father's gift of crystal nuclei, he did not need to worry about money for the Purgatory Tyrant egg's undead crystal nucleus and other materials.
Though he felt pained over spending a lot of money, the cub growing up well and fast under his meticulous nurturing more than made up for it. Its fur was glossy, and its posture was elegant and slender—the very picture of a cute, little fox.
Moreover, as the cub drew closer to its evolution as a wood spirit, its strength kept improving significantly.
In addition, the Purgatory Tyrant's egg had already become saturated and full of light balls, so it did not need to absorb anymore.
Su Bai had almost gathered all the incubation materials and only lacked three rare warlord materials, namely the glazed fire crystals, the volcanic dew, and the psychic bones. Though these were available in the market, they were very expensive and cost almost 900,000 yuan, which he could not afford.
He needed money.
He needed to make money.
Monday, the first week of May, arrived. It was the time when the pet department would officially divide classes.
At 7:30 a.m., the test results caused a huge uproar in the classes.
The result was beyond everyone's expectations. The first place was neither Su Bai nor Guo Dong but rather Wang Er, an unknown student in Class 7. Su Bai was second, Guo Dong third, and Chen Rouxue fourth.

"I heard that Wang Er's original pet was an Electric Snake, but it suddenly mutated into an Electric Python with the dragon bloodline. This was why he obtained a very high score."
"Sigh. I thought Brother Gou would ascend the throne and be proclaimed the emperor, but who knew that someone would appear out of nowhere? I guess this is fate."
...
Guo Dong looked extremely gloomy, and he had not smiled since the release of the ranking yesterday.
He stared at this tabletop and fell into boundless fury. Forget about Wang Er coming out as a dark horse, but Su Bai had scored higher than him.
He obviously had such a mediocre pet, so why did he score more than 90 points? His score was even higher than Wang Er's Electric Python.
How was it believable?
He felt that this was more unbelievable than killing a tiger with a sliding shovel.
He had worked so hard, but why did God always find trouble with him?
...
Not long after, the form teacher Wang Wenyi walked in and glanced at all the students. "Everyone, don't be too sad; we all belong to the same campus. I'll continue to be your algebra teacher… In the future, come to me for guidance if you have any questions."
After a long speech, she picked up the form and said, "Next, I'll call students according to their designation. Those who are called will directly report to their corresponding class.
"Those who shall report to Class 1 are Guo Dong, Su Bai, Chen Tingting, Chen Rouxue, Yang Zhou, Jiang Yang, Liu Xing… Please bring your books and stuff to your new class."
Their form teacher looked at them.
They set out with their books, and though there were quite a lot, their pets helped carry them.
"Goodbye, classmates; goodbye, teacher." Su Bai waved to everyone and walked out of the classroom door.
He took a close look at his classmates. Although he did not have particularly good relationships with them, he still had many fond memories of them in these past two years.
He knew that their separation this time likely meant that they would not cross paths again for the rest of their lives.
Some people were destined to be passersby in one's life.

Everyone who walked out reluctantly took one last look at their previous classmates. No matter what relationship they had in the past, the previous contradictions they had were not worth mentioning now that they were separating.
After leaving the classroom, they saw that the other students had already come to report to Class 3.
"I'll definitely surpass you." Guo Dong stopped his classmate and spoke seriously.
Glancing at him, Su Bai laughed. "Then you'll have to work harder. I'm afraid that you won't be able to keep up with me."
Both of them did not have any major contradictions and just did not like each other. Su Bai did not like the other, and Guo Dong looked down on him.
It seemed like, besides the boy, only Chen Rouxue was good enough.
This classmate's current performance was indeed beyond his expectations, and he considered him a worthy opponent.
"Hah! I'll put you on the ground in the final selection of the spring festival competition in town on Wednesday." Guo Dong sneered.
Su Bai shrugged and ignored the other.
"Class monitor, can we be tablemates in the new class? I want to increase my progress."
Guo Dong walked up to Chen Rouxue and asked courageously.
"I'm really sorry, but I already have agreements with Su Bai." She shook her head.
"Okay, then."
Looking at the class monitor, he took a deep breath and returned to the back angrily. When he left, he glared firmly at Su Bai.
Very good! You're my lifelong enemy.
After he left, Jiang Yang and Yang Zhou nudged their friend and winked. "When did that happen?"
"It's nothing; don't overthink it." Su Bai glanced at the two. "You should think about how to face the big-muscled instructor."
Upon hearing this, the two people immediately frowned gloomily.
When they arrived at Class 1, only new faces were inside. A group of people from the science department was sitting inside.
"Shall we sit on the second row?" Su Bai asked.
"I think the fourth row is better; we can lean against the wall," replied Chen Rouxue, pointing.
"Okay. You'll sit inside?"
"I'll sit inside, so I can play with my phone in class." She blinked and walked over.
Yang Zhou and Jiang Yang quickly took the third row, while Chen Tingting and another girl sat on the second row.
Guo Dong sat in the last row, and the fifth and first rows were reserved for the slower students.
Soon, other people came in to report. They were all outstanding performers from other classes.
Soon, the class was filled with a total of thirty-five people.
However, Wang Er, whom Su Bai and the others really wanted to see, was not here.
It seemed that he was in Class 2. Similarly, some top-ranking students were in that class.
He guessed that the school wanted to make the two classes compete.
Once everyone was there, nobody spoke and just quietly tidied their things.
Big Demon at Su Bai's table kept revolving around Purple Jade as it made faces.
Not long after, a woman in her twenties entered the room with a form in her hand. She looked up at everyone.
"Hello, guys. I'll be your new head teacher from here on. I'm Wang Wenyi, and I'll be responsible for supervising your pet training lessons as an elite Pet Tamer. This is my contact information. I hope that we can get along well in the future."
While talking, she wrote her contact information on the blackboard.
Behind her was a commander pet called Sapphire Eye. It looked like a cat's eye and was a sapphire-like pet with a body the size of a basketball. Its blue eyes roames as they exuded a sense of oppression.
This was a monster of the superpower branch of the spirit department.
"Hello, teacher!"
All the students were shocked to find out that their mathematics teacher would be their head teacher.
"Have you seen the teacher's pet before?" Su Bai glanced at his tablemate.
"No, I've never seen it before." Chen Rouxue also looked very shocked. They only knew that Teacher Wang had a Flower Fairy and had never heard of this commander pet Sapphire Eye.
"Okay, I'll do the roll call; just raise your hand when I call you." Wang Wenyi glanced at the class and nodded.

Magic-Farming
A thought experiment gone out of control, inspired by kosnik4's popular story, Magic-Smithing. What would life be like for someone else who was transported to the world inside Magic-Smithing? Someone who wasn't as prone to encounter incresasingly dangerous people, whose life was a little less chaotic? What if this person was content with a simple life of farming? Tending to the plants, sowing seeds, and reaping a great harvest at the end of the year. Of course, he's also a data scientist, so he can't help but squeeze out the maximum possible efficiency of his time and the potential of his attributes. Who doesn't make excel spreadsheets in their spare time? This is a slightly more "Slice of Life" esque version of kosnik4's story. Hopefully lighthearted, funny, and as enjoyable to read as it is thinking of increasingly ridiculous skill progressions. Thanks to kosnik4 and Magic-Smithing for providing fertile grounds for creativity to thrive. NOTE: THIS IS A FAN FICTION, AND ALL INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS BELONG TO KOSNIK4. I'm a patron of his story, and love reading about what happens next in his story. I've tried my best to be as accurate to his canon science as possible, though it's not 100% feasible. Afterall, the story isn't even done yet! My plan for the releases is to release a single chapter a day until 3/7, and then release 4 chapters a week on M, W, F, & Sat. P.S. If anyone can figure out what the EXACT formula for Level XP is, I'd love to hear it. I'm starting to doubt my math and excel capabilities. I have an equation that is fairly accurate and stays close to his values, but not exactly the same.
