Chapter 33

The ultimate goal of Chang Jiantao and the rest was the Luminous Spider. Since Li Pu had brought back a large number of such spiders by chance, and they were all alive, why did they even still need to go out to capture the spiders? Wouldn’t it be much easier to buy them than to search for them in the deep mountains?

In any case, they only needed to turn in one Luminous Spider that was alive to pass the final exam of the “Material Collection” course.

He had heard from his brother that some seniors who couldn’t complete the assessment at the end of the term but did not want to fail would buy the required materials to pass the assessment at the end.

Chang Jiantao felt that it was better to be safe than sorry. He decided to first buy a living Luminous Spider to keep. If he really couldn’t pass the final exam himself, he would just hand it over.

In any case, a magical beast like the Luminous Spider posed little threat and was easy to raise, so it was better to be prepared.

Therefore, his suggestion was approved by the many students around him.

“That’s right, Li Pu. Why don’t you sell me one too?”

“Me too, please count me in.”

“Since we’re classmates, the price is negotiable.”

They surrounded Li Pu even more tightly.

Of course, some students still insisted on their principles and did not approve of this method. They silently retreated to the back. This included Fulde.

“How can he be so strong? We can’t even get out of the school gate, but he’s already able to kill a level 4 D-grade magical beast!” Fulde thought to himself. Instinctively, he didn’t believe that the other party had randomly picked up the big lizard.

Now, he seriously suspected that this guy was a rich second-generation like him. Rather, the other party’s family might even be more affluent.

That Scarecrow seemed to be a weak F-grade beast, but it might actually be some rare species like the king of grass-type magical beasts.

There was also an easy explanation as to why many people had seen Li Pu summon the Scarecrow in the Wind Listener Pavilion. After all, everyone only saw him summoning a Scarecrow on the summoning platform, but no one saw if he had torn the blue beginner talisman.

Looking at the figure that was surrounded by people, Fulde felt that he had found his short-term goal. In the following days, he had to work hard to catch up to Li Pu. As long as he surpassed the other party, he would be able to become the first in the grade!

At the thought of this, Fulde clenched his fists. Two weeks later, he would have his first chance to challenge another to a duel. Before that, he had to work hard, work harder, and work the hardest!

At this moment, Li Pu didn’t know that his low-profile self was being targeted by his classmate. He was already having a hard time dealing with the few people around him.

“Li Pu, did you kill that lizard?”

“I’m also very curious. Is your Scarecrow actually very powerful?”

“Please sell me the Luminous Spider. I’ll owe you a favor.”

“Tsk, what’s the use of your favor with your meager abilities?”

“Li Pu, sell it to me and I’ll arrange for the girls in our dormitory to have a social gathering with the boys in your dormitory.

“Do you think others don’t know how to hold a social gathering? Li Pu, our dormitory is open to social gatherings too!”

“… But you live in the boys’ dormitory.”

“Who knows! The sissies in our dormitory are no inferior to girls!”

“Don’t listen to their nonsense. Li Pu, just name your price.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Name your price.”

Among these students, some were curious, some wanted to get close to him, and some were jabbing at each other.

However, business was business, after all. Soon, the price for the Luminous Spiders was settled.

Li Pu was quite emotional about this outcome. As expected, others were right. It was easy to earn money from students.

He never thought that the Luminous Spiders he had brought back by accident could be sold for 100 crystal coins each here.

Now, seven of the spiders had already been sold, which amounted to 700 crystal coins.

It seemed that he would soon be able to pay back Wu Guinan’s money. How comfortable.

“Alright, there’s no problem with it,” Just as they had finished their discussion, the guard came back with the Mushroom-eating Lizard’s corpse.

“I’ve already helped you pack up the Luminous Spiders,” He was carrying a paper box in his other hand.

The paper box was filled with glass jars, and each jar contained a Luminous Spider. They were magical beasts that needed to be raised alone.

“Thank you, uncle,” Li Pu took the box and nodded in thanks.

Since he was a new student, the guard gave him a brief introduction. There was a special trading station in the school that was responsible for helping teachers and students deal with the spoils of war brought back from the outside. Things like living or dead magical beasts could be sold to the trading station for crystal coins. One could ask the trading station to process, dissect, or sell one’s spoils of war on one’s behalf.

“What do you think? Do you need me to ask it to drag this big lizard over?” Considering Li Pu’s previous struggle, the guard pointed at the Earth-hearing Beast beside him.

At this moment, the Earth-hearing Beast was happily gnawing on the small lizard tail that Li Pu had given it. Although it looked like an old dog, as a level two summoned beast, it could easily transport a big lizard.

“That would be great,” Of course, Li Pu was happy to relax.

The Scarecrow was still not as physically strong as he was, so he was the one who had put in more effort in dragging the Mushroom-eating Lizard over. To be honest, it was quite difficult.

If the dog could do it for him, that was naturally the best.

“However, please wait a moment,” With that, he placed the box down in front of everyone and began to trade with them.

The guard did not mind the situation. After all, this was outside the scope of his duty.

According to what they had agreed on, Li Pu gave out seven Luminous Spiders and received 700 crystal coins.

He didn’t want to keep the remaining 30, so he decided to deal with them together with the Mushroom-eating Lizard at the trading station.

He heard that someone would be on duty 24 hours a day at their next destination, so after he settled the business he had here, Li Pu asked the Earth-hearing Beast to lead the way.

The Earth-hearing Beast, who had not finished eating the lizard’s tail, was a little reluctant to leave. However, due to its good impression of Li Pu, it still buried the tail in a hurry, planning to enjoy it slowly when it returned later.

Looking at Li Pu’s back, the people who were still being punished to stand there couldn’t help but sigh.

“Do you guys think he’s considered to have passed the final exam of the Material Collection course?”

“That’s a given. Even without that giant lizard, just those living Luminous Spiders would be enough.”

“He’s so strong. If anyone dares to say that Li Pu isn’t the top student of this year, I’ll be the first to express my dissatisfaction.”

“That’s true. The difference between us is too great.”

“By the way, are we really going to be punished to stand until dawn?”

Under their gazes, the Earth-hearing Beast and Li Pu disappeared from their sight.

20 minutes later, Li Pu arrived at his destination. It was already past two in the morning, but the lights in the building were still on.

[Woof woof!]

After putting down the big Mushroom-eating Lizard and pointing at the entrance door with its claw, the Earth-hearing Beast was about to leave.

“Old dog, many thanks,” Li Pu thanked him and watched him leave.

However, after the Earth-hearing Beast left, he did not immediately enter the gates. Instead, he turned his eyes to the mushrooms on the back of the Mushroom-eating Lizard.
