Chapter 101 Chapter 101

A few days before school started, Xia Muqing packed up the specialties she bought in Yandu and mailed them back to J Province to Xu Ling, Zhu Ning and others. She also asked Xu Ling to go to her house and bring some things for her.

In this way, she doesn't have to go back specially and can wait for school to start directly at school.

Xu Ling laughed at her over the phone, "Why don't you come back? The principal of No. 3 Middle School is eagerly waiting for you to give a speech to the freshmen! The last time you came back, I helped you get your files, and Teacher Yuan kept asking me what you were doing."

Xia Muqing coughed lightly a few times: "It's true, the project team has been very busy lately. And there's also money for the round-trip tickets for the three mysterious beasts..."

Xu Ling: "Wow, aren't you a wealthy woman? Why are you still worried about the train ticket money?"

Xia Muqing's tone was very sad: "Recently, I just discovered a new set of combat methods, and the training has been very effective."

Xu Ling immediately perked up and curiously asked, "What tactics? Tell me quickly."

Xia Muqing: "Krypton Gold Tactics."

Xu Ling: “???”

Xu Ling was still confused, but on the other side of the phone, Xia Muqing showed a vicissitudes smile that seemed to see through everything.

After this month, she finally realized that Yandu was indeed one of the most prosperous cities in Daxia. There were so many good places and resources both on and off campus.

This is the advantage of a big city. If she were still in S City, she would still be in a state of having money but nowhere to spend it. But when she came to Yandu, she could spend all the money in the blink of an eye.

Haha, what is Yandu University? It’s just a “den of debauchery” for beastmasters.

"...Oh, right," Xu Ling suddenly remembered something, "I have something else to tell you. A few days ago, when I returned to school, Lu Wenzhen came to see you. He wanted to express his gratitude."

Xia Muqing: "Why, did the Xiangyun Beast evolve successfully?"

Xu Ling: "Not really. It's not that easy to succeed. But according to him, after using the materials you recommended, the Xiangyun Beast was in much better condition when it tried to evolve, and even when it failed, it didn't suffer much damage."

"If this continues, he's confident that within a year, he'll catch up with you and become a Divine Beast Master as well."

Xia Muqing: "Ah...ah?"

Becoming a divine beast master within a year is indeed an amazing goal for a freshman who has just finished the college entrance examination, but for Xia Muqing, she felt no ripples when she heard this.

In just one year, she had already become a beastmaster, and she was already a divine beastmaster. In another year, who knew what her level would be?

But Lu Wenzhen was, after all, her former teammate and good friend. Regarding her friend's goal, Xia Muqing could only wish him well: "That's great. I wish him all the best... But why didn't he tell me directly? Why did he need you to pass it on?"

It’s not like Lu Wenzhen doesn’t have her contact information.

"Who knows?" Xu Ling shrugged. "Maybe he was too embarrassed to ask the original poster. I heard that he finally applied to Shanghai University. I guess he should have left by now."

Xia Muqing nodded.

Many of them had guessed that Lu Wenshen was going to Shanghai University, because Lu's mother's company headquarters was in Shanghai, and if Lu Wenshen went there, his family could give him more help.

Including the goal of becoming a divine beast master within a year, if he were to change places, he might not be able to achieve it.

There is nothing wrong with these. Family help is also a key support for many beastmasters in their growth. After all, training combat beasts is really too expensive!

…

Three days later.

Xia Muqing stood at the school gate and saw from afar Xu Ling dragging several large boxes and moving them down from the special car with great effort.

She hurried over to help: "Why did you bring so many things? Xiaofeng, hurry up, evolve."

The Swift Dog howled and transformed into a giant snow-colored dog. It obediently lay down on its front legs, allowing Xia Muqing to place the suitcase on its back, and then used its tail to curl up the handle of another suitcase.

Xu Ling wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Thank you!"

"This is the first time I've been away from home this far. My parents packed a lot of stuff. The clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter alone filled two boxes...and that's not all. Night Kingbird and Jade Briar are still dragging a few more things with them."

As they were talking, the Night Kingbird and the Jade Thorn also got off the train. The Night Kingbird was holding a large package in its beak, while the Jade Thorn had split into three or four branches, pushing several boxes forward simultaneously.

The octopus-like appearance stunned the surrounding students: "Plant-type profound beasts are really convenient."

"Jade Thorn? It looks so strong. It turns out that the freshmen who can be admitted to Yandu University are not simple..."

Xia Muqing also looked at the mysterious beast in front of her curiously.

After the Jade Thorn evolved, its body took on a jade-like transparent color, strong roots grew from its body, and the color of the flower buds on its head became a little darker. Several thin stamens emerged from the depths of the petals, helped to hold up the box, and then quickly retreated as if shy.

"When did Nightthorn Flower successfully evolve?"

Xu Ling raised her head happily: "It was last week. Wasn't this a surprise for you?"

"Last time at the Yunhua Ceremony, although the Nightthorn Flower hadn't reached its evolutionary stage, it still absorbed a lot of energy. After returning this time, I collected materials and wanted to give it a try to gain some experience. I didn't expect it to succeed in one go."

Xia Muqing patted its jade-colored vines and said, "Wow, little thorn is really doing well."

In this way, Xu Ling also owns two second-level evolved mysterious beasts.

Moreover, Xia Muqing observed that, perhaps because of its participation in the Starlight Return, the base of the buds of the Jade Thorn had small starlight-shaped lines, which connected into a beautiful wreath, unlike ordinary Jade Thorns.

If it participates in the battle, it will definitely be very powerful.

Xia Muqing: "Both of your profound beasts are already at level two. Have you considered raising a third one?"

Xu Ling: "Yeah, I've really thought about it. I originally wanted to buy a little thunder fox, or a three-tailed cat, but after thinking about it carefully, I decided to wait until we get to Yandu."

"This place is big and has a lot of resources. Maybe I can find someone better?"

Xia Muqing nodded. "Yan Da University has a 'kindergarten' that specializes in breeding profound beasts. The beasts raised there are all top-quality profound beasts. Only Yan Da students and teachers have the right to purchase them. Outsiders can't buy them."

"If you want to contract a third profound beast, it would be best to go there and choose one. I haven't been there yet. If you're free one day, why don't we go over there and take a look?"

The two chatted while pushing their luggage across the campus.

During the freshman enrollment season, the number of people in the school suddenly increased. Students from all over the world carried large and small bags, and were accompanied by various mysterious beasts.

At this moment, it felt a bit like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing off their magical powers. Along the way, Xia Muqing saw people using mysterious beasts to carry their luggage, using mysterious power to make luggage float in the sky, and even swallowing suitcases and then spitting them out when they got to a certain place...

After entering the dormitory, Xu Ling was also surprised by the spaciousness of the dormitory: "This place is so big, the school is so grand!"

The two packed their luggage and sat on their beds in the dormitory chatting for a while. Not long after, another student came and knocked on the door.

"Is this Xia Muqing and Xu Ling from Class 1?"

"Come join the class group. The counselor has announced that the class meeting will be held at 2 pm in Teaching Building 1."

The person knocking on the door was a girl named Lin Wan. She was not tall, but looked lively and cheerful.

Xia Muqing couldn't help but feel a little emotional. There are really flexible people everywhere. Although most people have just entered the school, some have already established contact with the counselors and started helping out with running errands as soon as they step into the dormitory.

After Lin Wan left, Xu Ling whispered, "She wants to be a class committee member, right?"

"I guess so," Xia Muqing said, "Being a class committee member earns you a fixed number of points every month, and it also makes you familiar to the teachers, which will make it easier to get into graduate school or stay in school in the future."

"So, are you planning to compete?"

Xu Ling rolled her eyes and threw herself back on the bed, "Let's just forget about it. Do you think I'm someone who can do that kind of delicate work?"

"But you, Mu Qing, are a famous beast master. Shouldn't the counselor arrange something for you?"

Xia Muqing shook her head: "I'm not interested either. I have too many things to do."

Rather than being a class committee member and helping the teacher run around and do chores, she would learn more by going to the project team twice.

"Besides, class committee members can only earn 5 credits per month, and taking my mysterious beast out for two meals will be enough. Compared to this, I have a better way to earn credits..."

Xia Muqing pulled out a piece of A4 paper from the table: "Look, this is the most complete guide to scoring high marks at Yanda University!"

The form was densely packed with detailed strategies for earning credits. Xu Ling's eyes widened as she read it: "...Wow, this is too detailed!"

"Internal information? Did Cheng Zizhuo give it to you?"

Xia Muqing smiled and nodded.

When chatting with Cheng Zizhuo a few days ago, she casually complained about spending credits too quickly. Unexpectedly, the next day, she received this detailed strategy sheet for earning credits.

It is said that Cheng Shenshoushi wrote this after working all night long, and it is a culmination of various strategies from online forums, adding his own summary and the personal experiences of his classmates. In short, it has the most comprehensive information and the best cost-effectiveness. It is indeed a must-have strategy for freshmen.

Xia Muqing was also very surprised when she received this strategy list.

Especially when she saw one of the items: "Achieve breakthrough academic research results and publish a beast taming paper in xx journal, and you can get a large number of credits based on the impact factor..."

"Xu Ling, let's sort out the evolutionary paths of Fengluo Lord and Night King Oriole and write a paper to publish it?"

Organizing the evolutionary routes of the mysterious beasts into a paper is only to provide the academic community with a reference for evolutionary research, and will not lead to the widespread emergence of the two evolved types of the mysterious beasts.

After all, whether it is the extraordinary qualifications of Fengluo Lord and Night King Oriole, or the many adventures on their evolutionary path, they are irreplaceable and difficult to reproduce.

Of course, Xia Muqing also has many new evolutionary routes with low barriers to entry and easy to replicate, but now, she still needs to find a reasonable explanation so that she can release what is in her head bit by bit.

Until then...

What does a journal article count for?

It's just a pure scoring machine.

…

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Muqing and Xu Ling arrived at the classroom on time.

There were quite a few people sitting in the classroom. When they saw the two of them come in, they looked at them curiously and whispered to each other.

There was no way. After all, Xia Muqing and her Fengluo Lord were too famous now. The students looked at her like a big star.

There was a person in the corner, holding his head and huddled against the back of the chair, mumbling: "Can't see me, can't see me..."

Xu Ling had already noticed the hair sticking up at the back of his head and greeted him from a distance: "Captain Yuan, nice to see you again, what a coincidence!"

Yuan Feiyu: "..."
