As the morning sunlight streamed in, Luo Fan opened his eyes again.
It was as if he had soaked in an elemental hot spring, as his entire physique had undergone a significant change. He sensed that all his magical cores had grown somewhat.
Then I checked my level, and wow, I'd only reached level 21.
"So much energy and only a 10-level increase? How is that possible! Leveling up in the early stages is supposed to be easy." Feeling the changes in its magic core, Luo Fan felt panicked. It remembered that leveling up was very fast after level 10, and it didn't seem to require much magic power.
Although it kept splitting apart to survive, how come it only grew so little from such a large piece of magic crystal?
Upon re-examining his magic cores, he found they had more than doubled in size, now roughly the size of a sesame seed. His overall size had increased by 50%, which was better than nothing, since he could adjust the size himself.
"Huh, there seem to be a lot more patterns on the magic core. I wonder what they're for. The magic flow speed has also increased a lot, probably more than twice as fast as before the contract. It's really great!"
After confirming that there were no other changes, Luo Fan began to move his body. He became several times more agile, and could even freely extend many tentacles. Even flipping through the books next to him became much easier.
My jumping ability seems to have improved quite a bit too. I charged upwards with all my might, and with a loud bang, I exclaimed, "Wow, I'm free!"
Looking at the small house beneath him, Luo Fan suddenly panicked; it seemed he had gotten himself into trouble!
"Luo Fan, what are you doing? Are you trying to destroy the house?!"
A familiar voice came from behind. I'd definitely gotten into trouble. Maybe I should hide? I can't fly, after all!
Back in the small room, Luo Fan carefully observed the girl before him, who seemed clearer than before.
I used to have a filter on me, but now my glasses have fallen off.
I have to say, even when she's angry, she's still so cute!
Seeing the obedient-looking slime in the room, Airi felt a headache coming on. After hearing Luo Fan's voice earlier, she had begun to sense the changes in her own magical energy gathering, and had accelerated that process.
Before she could even try, she heard a sound from the roof and rushed over.
This guy is still complaining, showing no sign of remorse whatsoever.
"Luo Fan, you'd better fix the hole up there today, or you'll be in big trouble!"
So a dark figure appeared on the roof, temporarily blocking the gap with a semi-transparent glass panel. We'll have to find someone to fix it later.
Liz in the room didn't seem to be too affected and was sleeping soundly. After squeezing one of his bodies next to her, Luo Fan then followed Ai Li to school.
"Not much change in size, except... it's hardened?" After kneading the slime on her shoulder, Ellie didn't notice any other changes. She had deliberately blocked out Luo Fan's noise while she was meditating earlier.
"Ugh~, my magic core, I'd rather sell it!"
"Aili, Master, I'm level 21 now! I've gotten so much stronger. Look, I can now take on 10 Yasuo!"
A black tentacle flexed its muscles in front of her, creating an indescribable awkwardness.
"Okay, okay, I got it! I need to level up to 6 as soon as possible and then go to the dungeon, otherwise I really can't afford to support you, you money-loser!" Ellie made up her mind in secret.
Luo Fan didn't dare to talk back, so he could only obediently lean on her shoulder, looking like a good boy.
Inside the school, many students hid to the side when they saw Ellie appear.
"Black Sli is here, let's go!"
After yesterday's events, Ellie has become famous once again.
"Luo Fan, you need to tone it down in the future. You're not allowed to spit saliva at girls!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Girls are so cute, how could I bear to do it? Unless I absolutely have to, hehe~"
In the classroom, I heard that familiar voice again; Xue'er's embrace still smelled sweeter.
"Brother Fan, why has your dark skin gotten so hard?"
"That's because I leveled up!"
"Oh, I'm only level 20, one level lower than Brother Fan." After saying that, Xue'er took out an ice crystal and put it in her mouth.
Crunchy!
I'm so envious!
Before class started, Ellie and Daisy were discussing how to teach Xiaoxue to read. Meanwhile, Luo Fan was already reading with Xiaoxue, and they both seemed very happy, while Xiaoxue kept babbling incessantly.
"Ellie, will Luo Fan spit his slime on us?" The little girl still didn't dare to get too close, and was even a little worried about her little Xue.
"No, I already disciplined it when I got back yesterday."
"Oh, that's good, that's good! Let me tell you, Xiaoxue really made me proud yesterday. Her magic control is almost as good as my brother's snowman now. He was so envious he was practically crying his eyes out, hee hee~"
"My Luo Fan has always had strong magical control abilities. Am I being arrogant?" Ellie couldn't help but complain in her heart, but she still quietly agreed.
"Quiet, class begins!" Ms. Monsa had already appeared on the podium.
"Yasuo is absent due to illness. Other students should also take care to keep warm in the fall. Okay, let's start registering everyone's pet levels, and then we'll continue with the history of magic."
After looking around, Ms. Monsa took out a magic scroll and began to check the levels of the students' magical pets.
"York, level 10; Lacey, level 12; Nar, level 15, not bad;..."
"Daisy, level 20, truly an outstanding pet, she's growing so fast!"
"Aili, level 21. Hmm? Didn't the headmaster say it would level up very slowly? I remember it was around level 10 yesterday." After double-checking, it was indeed fine.
Could something have happened last night?
The classroom suddenly became lively again, with various whispers rising up. Ellie noticed that many classmates were looking over.
"What's going on? How come Ellie's pet is at such a high level?"
"Aren't they all of normal quality? Mine is only level 10, it's frustrating."
"Could it be that Ellie's family is very wealthy? Didn't I hear she was kicked out of the family?"
Even Daisy stared incredulously at her best friend, and at Blackie who was playing with Xiaoxue, her mind a little blank.
"Quiet, quiet! Ellie's pet level is so high because of her own hard work. Everyone, please learn from Ellie. Okay, let's begin today's lesson. Everyone, turn to page 14!"
At this moment, sunlight was streaming into Alice's house through a hole in the roof, shining on her, and the little girl seemed to be sleeping even more soundly.
After class.
"Ellie, tell me what happened!" Daisy was getting impatient, and many people around her perked up their ears.
“My mother left me a mid-grade crystal, and it turned into this after I ate it.”
"Oh, I see! Ah~, it's intermediate level. Didn't it burst? My Xue'er can only eat ordinary quality crystals now, she can't handle anything higher."
The quality of the crystal matches the quality of the magical beast, with the lowest being low quality, followed by common, basic, intermediate, high quality, and then legendary quality. The higher the quality, the stronger the magical power it contains.
If a pet consumes crystals of too high quality, it may explode because its body cannot withstand the impact. Therefore, feeding pets should be done gradually.
"I don't know either. It pounced on me when my grandma handed it to me. Luckily, nothing happened."
Only then did Ellie feel a lingering fear, and looking at her pet's carefree appearance, she felt a little happy.
Upon hearing this, the onlookers quickly dispersed. They dared not attempt it lightly; if they went too far, their parents would beat them to death.
Besides, intermediate-grade crystals are not something they can obtain at this stage. I didn't expect Ellie to be a hidden millionaire.
After all, one such stone could buy a nice house in the most prosperous area of Sacred Heart City, with a considerable amount of money left over.
