Chapter 55 The Girl from the Great Lake
Iridium Academy, Blue Porcelain Mansion.
This is a hotel in the academy, exclusively for non-school visitors, and now it is also open to students taking the retest.
Many students ate at the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel, including Heshia.
She ordered a T5-level seared red fish set meal, because she had never eaten this kind of fish in Arpeggio City, so she wanted to try it. It must be said that the taste is really good. The sweet and tender fish meat is slightly browned on the surface, and the matching herbs make it rich in taste, which makes people's appetite increase.
"Don't look around and try it. How can a snake eat fish?"
The girl knocked the small snake swimming on the table with the end of the chopsticks to make it a little quieter, and then continued to eat.
Delicate light gray long hair, soft and shoulder-length, because she had to go all out in the retest, Heshia did not wear glasses today, and her beautiful face was also revealed, but her figure was still a little slender and not fully grown. Among this group of students, she was not too conspicuous.
"Hello, can I sit here?" A short-haired girl with a simple headband came up to the girl.
"Sure." The girl looked around and found that there were more and more people in the restaurant. No wonder this girl came to share the table with her.
Looking at the indigo snake coiled on the table, the short-haired girl asked curiously: "Are you also a student here to take the re-examination?"
"Yes."
"Great, me too, by the way, this is my 'partner'." As she said that, she remembered something, turned out the backpack behind her, and took out a big crab with a blue back and a white background.
"How is it, isn't it very majestic, ahahaha~" She introduced her partner with a smile.
"This is the 'Tidecaller Crab'. There are such creatures in my hometown. I didn't expect to meet such a good partner in this re-examination~"
"By the way, my name is Miana, from North District 3, how about you?"
"My name is Heshia, from North District 7."
"North District 7, I've never been there. Seeing Heshia is so beautiful, I always feel that it will be a good place."
The girl shook her head, "Actually, it's not much different from other areas in the north."
Just as the two of them introduced themselves to each other, Miana heard a shout not far away and stood up immediately.
"Okay, I'll be right over!"
"Wait a minute, I'll bring lunch over." After saying that, she put her backpack and crab on the table, and quickly ran to the window to take the plate handed over.
The freshly fried steak sizzled on the black bottom plate, exuding an attractive aroma and color.
"Ahaha, I can finally have a good meal today." She picked up the knife and fork, looking eager to try.
After cutting off a piece and tasting it carefully, she chewed it contentedly, feeling the chewiness of the hot beef.
Then Miana cut off a large piece of steak that was oozing with oil and handed it to the big blue-shelled crab next to it so that it could eat it too.
"I can't treat my good friend badly." She said energetically.
This behavior made Heshia feel a little guilty. It seemed a bit inhumane not to give the little snake some food, but on second thought, it was still a bit strange to feed the snake with fish, so she had to take out the snack bag and took out a handful of meat particles and put them in front of the indigo snake.
After the two of them got a little familiar with each other, Miana continued to chat with Heshia. She was like a little fan that couldn't stop, talking about what she had seen and heard along the way and all kinds of complaints.
"Sure enough, you have to eat a big meal when you come to North District 1. It's not easy to get a sum of money from my dad. It would be a waste if I don't use it."
...
"It's impossible to save money. He will check the balance of my wallet, so I'd better spend it as soon as possible to feel at ease."
...
"We have a big lake there, and many people raise fish, so I don't want to eat fish anymore. Instead, I'm interested in other meats."
...
"Hershia, have you been to the North Third District? Next time you come, I can take you to play around the area. Sightseeing at the lake bottom is actually quite nice."
...
"Most of the cities in the North Third District are built on lakes and shores, and the sunlight is very strong. That's how my skin got tanned, it's definitely not natural."
...
"Land without lakes is basically a desert, but there are many solar power generation bases, which are connected together. Sometimes you have to wear sunglasses when you go out, otherwise you will be blinded."
After some communication, Miana also became interested in the girl's Arpeggio City.
"Will it be hot and stuffy if we live underground? I remember the teacher said that the closer to the ground, the stronger the geothermal heat."
"That's true, but the absolute altitude of the ground where Arpeggio City is located is not low. It is not in the high-temperature zone. The city has a circulating heat dissipation system to discharge the heat to the surface. In addition, the underground river in Arpeggio City also takes away a lot of heat, so the temperature has been very stable."
"This seems to be very good. It seems safe to live underground." Miana said that in the North Third District where she lived, various buildings and outdoor equipment had to be equipped with waterproof and rainproof facilities, otherwise they would easily break down.
"Each has its pros and cons." The girl nodded.
After lunch, the two walked towards the test site of the fourth level together, and talked about this test on the way.
"My partner is Tide Sequence 2 Blue Claw Crab. It can only attack with its big claws. Its shell is hard and not very flexible. I don't know what the last level is like, but I have a feeling that it will be related to fighting and we won't be able to pass it so easily."
Heshia also introduced the sleepy little snake on her wrist. After feeding it just now, this guy seemed to be sleepy. It is true that snakes are like this. In addition to hunting, they spend most of their time dormant.
"Hershia, are you saying that you want your companions to become stronger?" After listening to the girl's inference, Miana also thought about it.
"Indeed, it feels that the means of these 'partners' are always limited. If we help them develop them, they should be able to become stronger."
"Right! Indeed, that's right!" Miana suddenly figured something out.
"The theme is 'bonds', so we must make our companions stronger, otherwise blindly giving orders will be no different from a slave relationship."
"Making our companions stronger will highlight our value as contestants. Sure enough, working together is the 'bond' between us!" She raised the big crab in her hand, and its blue back shell glittered in the sun.
"But how should we do it specifically? Temporary training, or finding a way to help it advance?" She continued to be troubled.
Advancement? Heshia thought for a moment, looking at the little snake on her wrist. Soon she picked up the personal terminal at hand and began to query the huge database on the Star Network.
There are many directions for snakes to advance, some aiming to transform into dragons, transforming into the powerful dragons in mythology, and some aiming to highlight their own talents. Some are like the strange beasts and demon beasts in ancient legends, and some are aimed at auxiliary abilities. After all, in modern society, the combat power of extraordinary animals is ultimately limited, and their other roles in society will be greater. For example, in the "Dream of Glass", Butis rarely trains poisonous creatures to fight, but more often regards them as the existence of producing venom. After
looking at the introductions and papers one by one, Heshia also had an idea soon.
"Heshia." Suddenly Miana's voice sounded in her ears.
"What's wrong, Miana?" The girl took a half step back carefully. It was not that she didn't like Miana, but it was a long-term conditioned reflex.
"Help me, can you help me check the promotion direction of the tide-calling crab?" She held the big crab and shook it in front of the girl, making the big guy in her arms only spit bubbles.
"Okay." In fact, it was not a big deal, and the girl nodded in agreement.
So the two of them were not in a hurry to go to the assessment point, but sat on the lawn under the tree and began to look through and discuss.
Time passed quietly.
