Cheng Huaijin tried her best to adapt to life at Yaotian Junior High School. She desperately absorbed knowledge, which would be the foundation for her future success in this world.

Through systematic learning, she discovered that the Black Egg Beast was indeed a very peculiar pet.

For example, most pets are not actually interested in human food, but Black Egg Beast stole her egg waffles when it was a Grass Sprite, and after it became Black Egg Beast, it fell in love with eating steamed buns.

Cheng Huaijin silently put the steamed buns into the small bag of pet snacks, pretending that the Black Egg Beast liked to eat pet snacks.

A tall tree catches the wind... She's already attracting a lot of attention; if she attracts any more, she might break.

Today is Friday. The last class this morning was "Pet Language and Communication". Cheng Huaijin used transliteration to record the tones of the pets.

"Heh—heh! Heh!" she said confidently to the black egg beast.

The black egg beast blinked at her.

"Didn't you understand?" Cheng Huaijin read the "hehe" in his notes again, his tone all crooked and uneven.

"Hehe." The black egg beast gently tugged at her cheek, opening its mouth wide to show her its lip movements.

"Hehe~!" Cheng Huaijin imitated it.

Black Egg Beast: = =

Then it flipped over and jumped onto Cheng Huaijin's head: "Hehe!"

-Just give up! Let's go eat!

Cheng Huaijin patted it: "Come down quickly, I need to go to the big classroom to grab a seat. We're going to see Bobo's long-awaited friend, so I can't be too sloppy! You've messed up my hair!"

"Hehe!" Black Egg Beast declared that it wanted to sit high up!

Cheng Huaijin said helplessly, "Alright, alright, sit on my shoulders. I'm not short either, you're just as tall!"

The black egg beast thought for a moment, then condescended to jump down, even bargaining that it would eat more steamed buns when it got back today.

"Sigh, I've been too good to you, Blackie." Cheng Huaijin shook his head. "Let's go! Time for dinner!"

The cafeteria offers different dishes every day, and today's most popular dish is Xicheng Malatang (a type of spicy hot pot).

You might think that there's nothing special about mala tang, that it's just cooking some vegetables together with seasonings.

No, no, no, Xicheng Malatang is a famous Chinese dish! What makes it special is that it uses ingredients that are all from pet-producing regions!

For example, the leaves of the Spicy Beast, the tears of the Five Flavors Beast, the meatballs of the Bouncy Beast... are all specialties of West City!

Xicheng, a city of pets and gourmet food!

We've gone off-topic! This isn't the time to talk about food! The important thing is that Xu Xingxi, the youngest Star-Level Beast Taming League player in China, is coming to Yaotian Middle School to give a speech!

More importantly, Xu Xingxi is a distinguished alumnus of Yaotian!

"I heard Xu Xingxi was originally going to enter Crystal Palace, but unfortunately she lost the competition and didn't make it." Fang Juexia took a sip of soup and exclaimed, "No wonder it's made with ingredients from Xicheng; the mala tang is absolutely amazing!"

Cheng Huaijin wholeheartedly agreed: "This soup is so delicious... oh, it's a little bitter, can you taste it?"

"Are you going to a lecture this afternoon?" A young voice rang out. Cheng Huaijin and Fang Juexia looked up and saw Lei Ke's conspicuous gold chain.

"Why is it you again? Why do you always show up? Did you deliberately run into us?" Fang Juexia asked directly.

Rick's lips twitched. "What's it to you? I didn't come looking for you."

"You still want to challenge Huaijin to a duel? Wasn't you beaten badly enough last time? I heard from the classmates that they want to kick you out of Yaotian F4. How have you been these past few days? Have you been defeated by the other classmates?" Fang Juexia knew how to be sarcastic.

Rick raised his chin: "Heh, I only lost to Cheng Huaijin, I won't lose to anyone else."

Cheng Huaijin: Don't mention it, I'm having a delicious meal right now.

The black egg beast nestled in Cheng Huaijin's arms, its bright eyes watching the two bicker with great interest.

Fang Juexia smiled innocently and adorably: "Really? I heard another freshman successfully challenged you!"

"What was it called again?"

Rick froze. "Who told you that?"

Fang Juexia smiled and said, "Oh right! It's Lu Yunqi, who came in third in the supplementary exam! I think you're pretty weak compared to the fourth-ranked person on the leaderboard."

Rick snapped, "If you're so tough, fight me!"

Fang Juexia smiled and declined, "Thanks for the invitation, but I'm second place, and Lu Yunqi is third. Challenge me again when you've beaten him!"

Rick took a deep breath and decided not to talk to Fang Juexia anymore!

He said to Cheng Huaijin, who was diligently eating, "Cheng Huaijin, why don't you go to the lecture this afternoon?"

Cheng Huaijin nodded.

"We'll save you a seat in the first row, so feel free to sit wherever you like when you get there." After saying that, he turned and left with a dashing air.

A collective gasp filled the air.

Wow, no wonder they're F4, they're so handsome!

"If we're talking about looks, Rick is number one!"

"Rek is very strong too!"

"But I heard he lost to the girl next to him..."

Oh no, I've gotten myself into this mess! Time to get out of here!

Cheng Huaijin picked up the plate and quickly slipped away with the black egg beast.

Cheng Huaijin didn't want to have anything to do with Lei Ke anymore, so she didn't sit in the first row, but instead stood at the back of the classroom with Fang Juexia.

Because they arrived too late! There weren't any seats left!

"Why don't we sit in the front? It's free, why not?" Fang Juexia asked.

Whenever Cheng Huaijin thought of Rick and the scarred boy, she felt a strange sense of danger, and her subconscious told her not to be curious about anything related to the scarred boy.

"No, it's quite clear even standing up," Cheng Huaijin replied.

Fang Juexia whispered, "Okay, anyway, I don't like that Lei Ke either. He's arrogant and domineering; he's obviously not a good person."
