At the same time, the system notification sounded in Ye Fei’s mind

[ Beep, Quest “Find the best pet egg” completed. ]

[ Quest Reward: Voice System upgraded to version 2.0. New Skill: Acquire the memory of a dead pet. ]

The system notification was simple and clear. There were only two sentences in total.

However, Ye Fei was very confused when he heard it.

“Obtaining the memory of a dead pet? What kind of skill is this?”

Before he could continue to complain, countless knowledge and skills related to fire gushed into his mind.

That was the inheritance of the Phoenix bloodline.

Among them, the most attention-grabbing and most powerful fire-type pet skill was called “True Phoenix Fire”.

Ye Fei only used his mind to roughly read it before he was deeply attracted.

If not for the fact that the principal was by his side, Ye Fei really wanted to immediately finish reading the entire “True Phoenix Fire”.

However, in order not to arouse the principal’s suspicion, Ye Fei could only suppress the curiosity and excitement in his heart. He smiled and said to the principal, “Principal, thank you for giving me this opportunity to choose such a top-grade pet.”

“Thank you for taking the time to accompany me personally in your busy schedule…”

The first sentence of gratitude was sincere, but the second sentence… was not necessarily so.

The principal chuckled and said, “You are the most talented student in the hundred years since the school was established. We are never stingy with rewards for geniuses!”

Originally, the principal intended to personally accompany Ye Fei to choose a pet egg, which was enough to show that he valued him.

But now, the principal changed his mind.

He felt that Ye Fei, who was already very talented, now had such a top-grade pet beast. His future was bound to be limitless.

This kind of talented and lucky student deserved more preferential treatment from him!

So, the principal smiled amiably and said, “Student Ye Fei, if you have nothing else to do, please come with me to my office.”

In fact, Ye Fei really wanted to say that he had something to do.

Right now, he could not wait to finish reading all of True Phoenix Fire and see if he could teach little firebird how to use this skill.

However, since the principal had personally invited him, how could he not give him face?

Therefore, Ye Fei could only brace himself and put on an expression that looked like he was very flattered. He smiled and agreed, “Sure, sure!”

Along the way, Ye Fei felt countless gazes on his back.

There were even some students who were braver who deliberately ran to the front, wanting to take a closer look at Ye Fei’s appearance.

However, most of the students were shyer and would only look at him from afar. Then, they whispered to their friends beside them, “That’s the newcomer King of this batch of freshmen…”

“Even the principal himself praised him as a genius!”

“Did you hear? The principal gave him his graduation souvenir from his student days. That thing is worth a lot of money!”

..

They thought that Ye Fei could not hear them because they were far away.

But in reality, Ye Fei could hear every word they said clearly.

However, Ye Fei did not take these discussions to heart. His heart was always calm and composed.

Ever since his parents went missing on the battlefield and he became an orphan overnight, Ye Fei had learned to not be affected by external words.

Regardless of whether others were mocking or admiring him, he could completely ignore them. He could only focus on himself and the present.

Soon, he arrived at the principal’s office.

Unlike what Ye Fei had imagined, the principal’s office was decorated in a very low-key and reserved manner. At first glance, it did not look special, but in fact, it was very impressive.

For example, there was a whole wall of bookcases behind the desk.

The materials used for the bookcases were very ordinary. They were just common wood on the market, nothing special.

However, the books in the bookcases were not ordinary.

Almost 80% of the books in the bookcases were out of print ancient books, and some of them were even solitary copies!

Those were things that could not be bought with money!

Another example was the green plants by the window.

The flower pot was just an ordinary pot. One could buy the same type of flower pot for less than 30 yuan in the market.

But the things planted in it were not ordinary.

It was a plant-type pet —

The Poplar Tree.

The legendary Divine Poplar Tree that did not die for a thousand years, did not fall a thousand years after death, and will not rot even after falling over!

The one that the principal planted in the flower pot was a small half-meter-long dead tree.

But on the top of the dead tree, a fresh and tender bud was pulled out!

Ye Fei knew that he could never achieve such a cultivation technique that could bring the dead back to life.

Not to mention him, even his father, who had opened a pet shop for his whole life and was definitely a master of nursing for pets, could not do it.

But the principal did it.

Ye Fei finally could not remain calm anymore. He could not help but run to the window and carefully touch the tender bud on the top of the dead tree.

This time, he could finally confirm that the bud was not grafted on, but was really a bud that was pulled out from the withered tree.

Ye Fei had never seen such amazing pet care skills!

Oh No, this was no longer just the scope of care, this was bringing the dead back to life!

“Principal, how did you manage to make the Poplar Tree grow branches?”

Ye Fei could not help but ask.

When the principal heard that Ye Fei could actually recognize that it was a Poplar Tree, his impression of him instantly increased by a large margin.

He smiled and said, “Your eyesight is not bad, to actually be able to recognize that it is a Poplar Tree with just a single glance.”

“There are people coming and going in my office every day. Everyone treats her as an ordinary withered tree. They are even wondering why I planted the withered tree in a pot… you are the first to recognize what it actually is, not bad, not bad…”

Ye Fei said humbly, “My father runs a pet shop. He often tells me some pet knowledge in his spare time. After listening to it for a long time, I naturally got to know him…”

The principal became interested and asked about Ye Fei’s father.

Ye Fei’s expression was a little gloomy. He replied, “My father disappeared on the battlefield a few years ago. There has been no news of him…”

The principal knew that this was a sad matter for Ye Fei, so he did not continue to ask any more questions. Instead, he cleverly changed the topic.

“When it comes to making poplar trees wither and grow branches, I was just randomly trying at first. I failed many times before I finally succeeded…”

“I have written down all the records of my failures and final successes in detail in my notebook. If you are interested, you can take it back and read it slowly.”

As the principal spoke, he took out a thick notebook from his desk drawer.

Naturally, Ye Fei wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity to learn, so he decisively said that he wanted to borrow it back to read.

“Since you’re so interested in this, I’ll give this notebook to you.”

The principal changed his mind. He didn’t want to borrow it and just gave it to him.

Ye Fei was a little embarrassed. “But what’s recorded here is all your hard work, principal. How can I keep it for myself…”

“It doesn’t matter. The experiment has succeeded anyway.”
