Daily life at the college (V)
What do kittens eat?
This question troubled Linyin for several days.
From grilled fish to baked buns, to the iron stick bread in the cafeteria, to various brands of fantasy beast food, the kitten declined them all.
Even a pet kitten can't not eat...
Linyin was really worried that the kitten would starve, so she stroked the kitten's round head with one hand and flipped through the book "Basics of Fantasy Beast Care" with the other. The book said that the best choice for cat-type Fantasy Beasts was the brand of Fantasy Beast Food produced by Staples.
…She knew it was an advertisement.
But what if the kitten really likes this?
purchase!
She has a job and she has money.
Opening her personal terminal, Linyin started searching in the Star Network mall.
The kitten leaned in closer to take a look at the price, shook its head like a rattle, and looked at Linyin with a look that seemed to say "Don't waste your money, stop now" in big letters.
"Then tell me what you eat." Linyin scratched her head in distress.
The kitten lowered its head, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and the next second chose to show its little fangs and pointed at Linyin's fingers.
"You're going to...bite my finger?...and drink my blood?"
The kitten nodded like a woodpecker, then shook its head.
"You mean, bite my finger but don't drink my blood?"
The kitten nodded and shook its head again.
"You mean, just a little drink?"
The kitten's eyes lit up and it nodded again and again.
An unheard-of feeding method... Normally, human blood is only used when making a blood pact with a mythical beast.
However, Rinyin doesn't ask for much money, but she does ask for a lot of blood.
She boldly stretched out her hand for the kitten to bite. The kitten licked it with its tongue, licked it again and again, and finally made up its mind to take a bite.
A drop of blood oozed out of the wound and was quickly licked off by the kitten.
The kitten purred contentedly, then fell down beside Rin's pillow with a happy look on its face.
Kittens can legally sleep in early in the morning, but humans have to get up for morning exercises.
After settling the kitten, Linyin came to the open space in front of the dormitory building and practiced with the three of them, Shuijing.
That’s right, it’s the “Vajra Gong” that has a chance of producing infinite true qi.
"Put both hands into the three energizers of the sky!" Kaiya's rough roar startled the birds in the treetops. He raised his arms straight like two pillars.
"Oh shit, the fighting monkeys are returning to their ancestors." A curious person took a photo, but was reminded by his companions that it was not surprising.
"They're always downstairs, hanging out with their parents. They're always browsing forums. It's not news to them at all."
"Huh? Then why are they practicing this?"
"Look here," the companion pointed at the short-haired girl in the lead, "the spicy type leading the group is called Wu Dou Feng Lu, how could I possibly know what she's thinking?"
"That's true."
Linyin ignored the comments of passersby and slowly pressed down with both palms, "The end should be slow, like drawing a sword to cut through water."
Yuzhu silently followed Linyin in doing the movements. Although the movements of this set of radio gymnastics were a bit strange, she found after practicing that it really improved her physical fitness - before, she could carry three buckets of water to the fifth floor in one breath, but now she can carry five buckets!
"The eighth move, Phoenix spreads its wings and exerts force all over the body!"
The trio spun around and swung their arms at the same time. Kaeya roared too passionately and his palm accidentally hit Crystal. Crystal decisively hit back while changing direction, causing Kaeya to scream and jump on the spot.
Linyin pretended not to notice what the two people did.
If you are not stupid or deaf, you will not be an old man. When raising children, you must learn to be selectively blind.

"Try harder! Haven't you eaten yet?"
With dark skin and firm muscles, Jerry brandished a whip and scolded. From a third-person perspective, it was as if he had arrived at an ancient farm, with cattle and horses working silently under the whip.
However, in reality——
This is a strength training class for the combat department.
"I can't fight anymore, I really can't fight anymore." Kaiya faced the big "B" on the strength tester, sweat pouring down his head like a waterfall.
"Hold on a little longer, you're only 20 kilograms away from A!" Crystal was so disappointed with him that she wanted to go up and hit the tester for him.
"Don't, stand and talk, it won't hurt your back," Kaiya said, panting. "Next round, it's your turn. Let's see how many hits you can get."
"Uh..." Crystal recalled the big "C" in her strength evaluation during the entrance test and decided to keep quiet.
Elsewhere, after Yuzhu's satisfying punches, the tester screen generously gave her an "A." She excitedly turned towards Linyin, raised her hands, palms up, and said, "Boss! I got an A! The Eight-Part Vajra Kung Fu is awesome!"
Linyin made a victory sign and continued to sit idly on the bench waiting. Her index was so abnormal that all the teachers tacitly put her last to take the test so as not to discourage others.
"Rin, come here." Jerry beckoned Rin over and pointed to a large, new-looking machine. "It's new. The upper limit of this test is 2,000 kilograms. Keep it safe and don't break it again."
Jerry's words reminded Rin of a time when she accidentally broke a strength tester. Crystal had said she wanted to experience the feeling of getting an A on her report card, and when Jerry wasn't paying attention, she'd given the machine a blow. Unexpectedly, the machine's upper limit was only 500 kilograms, and the testing part was completely deformed.
Although Jerry reported the damaged machine as "routine wear and tear" and did not ask her and Shuijing to pay for it, Linyin has been extremely cautious when dealing with instruments since then, as it is better to be safe than sorry.
Charge up, raise your fist, and rush forward.
"Puff." The tester, which can withstand a single-point impact of 2,000 kilograms, took the blow steadily, and the words "850 kilograms" popped up on the colorful big screen.
"Fuck, the boss has become stronger again." Kaiya held the towel and opened his mouth into an egg shape.
Linyin felt that this new machine was quite stable and could not help but feel a little excited. After the Wuji Zhenqi was formed, she had not tried it yet. Should she try it or not?
The golden stream began to move, and Linyin's eyes turned golden. She could now see several gray holes on the surface of the tester that was hit. According to the description in "Wuji Zhenqi", these points were the weaknesses of the tester.
To be on the safe side, she chose to avoid these spots.
A faint yin-yang fish pattern appeared on the palm of his hand, and when he clenched his fist, golden light flowed out from the gap between his fists.
One punch!
"boom."
Amidst the loud noise, the tester swayed a few times.
Linyin thought to herself, no way, it can’t be broken again.
As she was trembling with fear, the swing of the instrument gradually became smaller and smaller, and finally it stopped, and "1255 kilograms" popped up on the screen.
"That's great, it's not broken." Linyin and Jeremy said at the same time.
………………
Training Room No. 4 on the first floor of the Fantasy Beast Teaching Building.
In the center of the field, a pangolin, over 1.6 meters tall at the shoulder, lay with its eyes closed. The hexagonal scales on its back reflected the light from the training room. Unlike the scaly tails of ordinary pangolins, this one had a brush-like shape.
"Could its true identity be a painter?" Kaia stood in the last row, holding the old optical telescope made of crystal and observing carefully.
"You'd better pray that this painter isn't our teaching mythical beast." Lin Yin had already noticed the pangolin's unusualness through her infinite true energy. "It's an Earth-level mythical beast."
As he was speaking, the students suddenly fell silent. Kaiya couldn't stop himself and roared exaggeratedly, "Earth-level mythical beast?"
"This student is quite right. It seems he's very knowledgeable about mythical beasts." Fianna, the Comprehensive Combat Skills teacher and the head of the Fighting Department's research department, walked slowly into the training room and placed her hand gracefully and gently on the pangolin's snout. "This is your teaching partner today, Dunjia Diling, an Earth-level mythical beast."
The students became agitated.
"Quiet."
The smile on Fianna's delicate face faded. "In two weeks, it will be your turn to go to the wild trials. There are over a hundred students in the combat department this year, but zero of you have contracted phantom beasts, and zero have completed phantom beast armor. How can you face the wild beasts?"
"If I had money to raise a fantasy beast, I wouldn't be here." Someone hummed softly.
Fianna's sharp eyes darted over, accurately catching the person whining. It was a boy with hair wax that made every strand of his hair distinct. "Hey, Hedgehog Head, you're not here. Where do you want to go?"
"The Thorn Flower Academy of Fantasy Beasts isn't ranked very high right now, but the admission requirement for the Fantasy Beast Department is that, in addition to possessing a contractable Fantasy Beast, the average of the three physical fitness items must reach A-level."
She approached the hedgehog-headed man, and the terminal recognized his information. She glanced at him and sneered, "Siwei Huang, physical fitness C level, agility C level, strength,"
"C-rank."
"Puchi." Finally, someone couldn't hold back his laughter. Now everyone couldn't help laughing and burst into laughter. Hedgehog Head felt very uncomfortable in the crowd, as if there was something stuck in his throat.
"If the Fighting Department wasn't always under-recruiting, someone like you shouldn't be here."
Fianna returned to the center of the venue, but she didn't let him go. "I know many of you came to Thorn Flower just to get a diploma. But, isn't it really a pity?"
"The Fighting Department and the Mystical Beast Department share the library, training grounds, and most of the teaching staff. They offer a variety of scholarships and competitions that reward Mystical Beast eggs. Despite these favorable conditions, you've still managed to obtain zero Mystical Beast contracts."
"Now, as the Director of the Combat Department, I officially inform you," Fiana pointed her right hand at the Dunjia Earth Spirit. "Just like the Field Trial, you will be in groups of five. No matter what method you use, you must survive its attacks for fifteen minutes. Those who fail will be disqualified from this year's Field Trial."
The students became agitated again, with questions like “why” and “what to do” intertwined.
"Quiet," Fiana said seriously. "Yes, if you don't participate in the field trials, you won't get a grade or credit for this course. If you don't get enough credits, find another way. I can't let the teachers die for some losers among you."
"I heard that something happened during the last combat department's field trial, and a teacher sacrificed his life to protect the students..." Crystal has always been well-informed, and she whispered to Rin and the others.
The teacher who accompanied the team on the field trial was randomly assigned. It could be said that this teacher sacrificed himself for a stranger.
"Now I think it's quite reasonable for us to face Earth-level mythical beasts in class... Who knows what we might encounter in the wild?" Kaiya's eyes flickered, and he sniffed. "If I were in danger, I would definitely let the teacher go first. All the teachers at Thorn Flower are carefully selected from among the young talents. I'm just a piece of trash. I don't deserve them to save me."
"Don't say that, you are also your parents' baby. If someone is missing from this world, there will be people who love them and cry sadly." Rin patted Kaia like a puppy.
"Woo, Boss, if I die, will you cry for me?"
“…”
"Let's have the person who knows the most about mythical beasts scout out the way for the first group." Fiana scanned Kaeya's face with the teacher's terminal. "Kaeya White, please get ready with your team. The timer will start in five minutes."
"Woo woo, boss, save me, I'm really going to die."
………………
The five members of the Rinyin team lined up in a row.
Rin, S for stamina, S for agility, S for strength.
Yuzhu, stamina A, agility A, strength A.
Crystal, Vitality A, Agility S, Strength C.
Kaeya, B stamina, C agility, B strength.
Jiaojiao, stamina B, agility A, strength A.
Jiaojiao is the petite girl who delivered the bear biscuits. When she heard that the Rinyin group was short of people, she volunteered to join. Judging from her three data, she should be a high-explosive player.
Linyin signaled that they were ready. Fiana said nothing, but pressed her right hand, and the clock numbers on the teaching screen began to scroll.
The Dunjia Earth Spirit slowly opened its eyes.
"Kaeya, Shuijing, retreat to a safe area. Jiaojiao, Yuzhu, support me and try to make it expose more skills." Linyin stood at the front of the team and waited for the four people to reach their respective positions before suddenly launching an attack.
The teaching fantasy beasts are all mature fantasy beasts that have had masters before, and their temperaments are relatively stable. Especially the Dunjia Earth Spirits are chosen to face these mortals without fantasy beasts, so they will not be too aggressive and should tend to defend and counterattack.
Linyin did not mobilize the Wuji True Qi at the beginning. Her physical strength alone was enough to attract its attention.
The Earth Spirit turned around fiercely, and its brush-like tail swept towards Rinyin with a momentum that could sweep away thousands of troops. Rinyin dodged it easily, "Save your brush for painting, little painter." After touching the ground, he jumped up immediately, did a handsome somersault in the air, and landed on the head of the Earth Spirit.
"Crystal, Kaia, get Leibi ready!" Rin stood up and tapped the earth spirit's eyes with her toes.
The earth spirit finally became a little angry and opened its mouth to let out a long howl.
Crystal pulled her homemade can bombs from her belt. She'd started developing them since her last abduction, and they were still at the stage of stability but limited strength. She gave two to Kaeya and threw one at the earth spirit's open mouth.
The can drew a beautiful parabola in the air and landed precisely on Di Ling's tongue. Di Ling quickly closed his mouth, and the sudden change in pressure caused the bomb to explode instantly.
It wasn't very harmful, but it was very insulting. The Earth Spirit spat out a few broken teeth, and its gray eyes turned slightly red.
"Give the painter a few more cans!" Linyin backflipped off the earth spirit's back, just in time to avoid it raising its scales. A crystal shield instantly formed behind the earth spirit, making it difficult for the cans of Lei Bi to leave a mark on it.
The earth spirit was getting very impatient due to the explosion, and the red in its eyes became more and more intense. When Lin Yin noticed this, she immediately used her Wuji True Qi, "Crystal, Kaia, get out of the way." Then she used her True Qi to pass through her hand and punched the gray area in the True Qi field of vision.
"Ouch." The earth spirit cried out in pain, but he did not turn towards Lin Yin who had hurt him many times. He aimed in the direction of the crystal, and the concrete ground melted under his feet like ice and snow.
"Damn it, it can burrow into the ground! The crystal is in danger!" Kaeya simply threw all the cans in his hand onto the path that the earth spirit must take to attack the crystal.
Jiaojiao and Yuzhu stood in front of Shuijing in tacit agreement. Linyin no longer conserved her Qi, using the momentum from pushing against the wall to briefly remain airborne. Her pupils turned completely golden, and the moment the scales on the Earth Spirit's head emerged from the ground, she channeled her Qi into the six meridians in her feet and stomped down hard on the Earth Spirit's head.
"Time's up." Fiana pressed the stopwatch and clapped softly. "Team Rinone passed the test. Level..."
"excellent."
"Yeah!" Several people hugged Lin Yin, "Long live the boss!"
Linyin was about to say that it was a pity that she didn't try out a few more skills when she saw Fiona quickly walk to the side of the Dunjia Earth Spirit, stand there for a few seconds, and finally let out a long breath.
She opened the terminal and asked, "Please transfer me to the Experimental Management Department. Are there any available Earth-level teaching beasts?"
