Chapter 11: From now on, Brother Bai will protect you.
"No, no, this isn't right."
Something's nine out of ten wrong.
Yuan Hai initially opened the document simply to compare it with the original skill paper, hoping to find evidence of the other party's erroneous alterations and then launch a direct attack.
But as he delved deeper into the paper, the highly reasoned and fluent content gradually made him break out in a sweat.
"So that's how it can be done?"
"Damn it, did the original thesis take so many detours? No wonder it was so obscure and difficult for me to understand."
"You can actually educate people like this? Why didn't I think of that?"
Gradually, Yuan Hai became so excited that his body trembled slightly, and his hand holding the mouse became uncontrollable.
This meticulously revised paper on the [Sword Spirit Grass] skill is a godsend for academic underachievers like him; compared to the revised version, the original is simply unbearable to look at.
"I've got it, I've got it now!"
Yuan Hai became more and more excited as he read, and his breathing became a little rapid. With this skill paper, even a beast-taming failure could have the possibility of successfully training a sword spirit herb beast pet.
"From complex to simple, easy to understand, even the way of casting is so simple and straightforward, it's practically made for the Sword Spirit Grass Beast Pet."
Just as Yuan Hai was parched and seemingly already envisioning his successful tutelage and triumphant moment, suddenly, the second half became unwatchable.
"屮!"
Looking at the prominent payment reminder on the screen, Yuan Hai blurted out, "This feeling is very unpleasant. It's like someone suddenly pushes open the door and walks in halfway through the procedure. It's really annoying."
However, what was even more infuriating was what followed. When Yuan Hai saw the price of the skills paper, he was furious.
"Ten thousand yuan? You're crazy for money, why don't you just rob someone?"
Yuan Hai instinctively complained, but after calming down, he seemed to think that 10,000 yuan was quite worth it. After all, this was a pet skill paper, and it was a combat skill paper at that. Outside, you would have to spend several thousand yuan to buy a combat skill paper.
"If the second half of the paper is of the same quality, then not only will we not lose money, but we'll actually make a killing on that 10,000 yuan."
After pondering for a moment, Yuan Hai gritted his teeth and directly recharged 10,000.
……
At the same time, in Lin Yi's dormitory.
After shutting down his computer, Lin Yi spent another hour training with Mushroom Cub before the two of them finally felt satisfied. After a quick wash, they both fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Lin Yi dressed neatly, yawned, glanced at the diligently practicing sword beast, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
As expected, the little mushroom cub made the right contract; it gets up earlier than him, an ox or a horse, every day.
"Little mushroom, you can practice on your own. The evolution fluid is right next to you. If you get tired, just have some. I'll take you to the weapons shop on the next street when I come back at noon."
After a whole night of deep thought, Lin Yi finally made up his mind to grit his teeth and forge a weapon for the mushroom cub.
After all, the little sword that Mushroom Boy sleeps with and can't bear to let go of is ultimately just an ornament. If this little guy were to go out and fight with such a fake thing in the future, people who don't know better would think that Mushroom Boy's owner is a poor bastard.
He, as the owner, couldn't save face either.
"Not every pet has a weapon; Mushroom Cub just happened to meet me."
Lin Yi whispered something, closed the door, and went downstairs.
Pet weapons are ridiculously expensive. Ordinary weapons are simply not enough to bear the extraordinary power within a powerful pet. Only pet-specific weapons, which have undergone special processing and are made of extraordinary materials, can bear that extraordinary power.
Naturally, the price was exorbitantly high, and Lin Yi wouldn't have even considered it if he didn't have over six thousand yuan in his pocket.
Spiritual plant cultivation base.
"You've formed a contract with a sword spirit herb pet?"
Lin Yi looked at the Sword Spirit Grass pet that Lao Bai carefully took out of his backpack and didn't know what to say.
"What's with that expression? I spent 120,000 to buy this, and that was with the school subsidy. It's a Sword Spirit Grass, one of the few combat-type pets among the plant-type pets. Many people in our department also choose this kind of pet."
Bai Deheng's face beamed with joy, and he retorted defiantly, "You're just jealous of me."
Lin Yi: ? ? ?
I'm jealous of you?
"Old Bai, have you ever thought that raising a Sword Spirit Grass pet is more expensive than raising a regular Spirit Plant type pet?" One pet cost 120,000, and the subsequent training costs are astronomical.
These kinds of pets are not just about feeding them; as their evolution level increases, they become money-burning machines.
Lin Yi knew a little about the Bai family's situation. This 120,000 yuan had probably emptied all of the family's savings, and they would have to sell everything they owned to make up for it.
He originally thought that what Lao Bai said that day was just something Bai's father mentioned casually, but he never expected it to be true. Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry.
"I've thought it through. I'll walk my own path from now on. If I don't have money, there's always the Beast Taming Loan, right?"
A determined look appeared in Lao Bai's eyes. Once his beast pets grew up, would he still be afraid of not being able to earn money to pay off his debts?
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
"Beast Taming Loan" is such a niche term.
However, he could only sigh inwardly; this was reality.
Lin Yi never tried to change others, and he couldn't change Lao Bai either.
This kind of thing has long been a common phenomenon in this world, and it is deeply rooted. After all, if an ordinary family finally produces a beast tamer, the whole family will inevitably bet everything on it.
All Lin Yi could do was pray that Lao Bai's dream would come true.
"Why are you looking so gloomy?" Old Bai mistakenly thought that Lin Yi was upset because he had contracted the Sword Spirit Grass pet before him, so he immediately patted Lin Yi's shoulder generously: "Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on. When you've earned enough money, you can contract one too."
The words "I'll protect you" made Lin Yi smile knowingly: "Okay, you'll protect me from now on."
However, the next second, the spirited young man who was supposed to protect others was carrying his pet beast on his back, bending over, and pushing the cart with all his might, heading towards the greenhouses.
At this moment, Lin Yi seemed to witness the intense clash between the cruelty of this world and the aspirations of youth, a sight that evoked a sense of melancholy.
"From now on, I'll protect you, little brother."
Lin Yi chuckled and said that after half a year of getting along, Lao Bai's honesty and sincerity had already won his heart. The two had always called each other brothers and supported each other. And the words "Brother Bai will protect you from now on" just now directly established the weight of this brother in his heart.
The early bird catches the worm, and it's another busy morning.
Lin Yi didn't slack off this time, constantly transporting the evolution fluid between the various greenhouses.
"Eat as much as you can. After this month, I'm quitting. I'll get someone else in the future, and I don't know if you'll still have enough to eat."
As he fed these old buddies, Lin Yi muttered to himself, "After half a year together, to say that I have no feelings for these little guys would be a blatant lie."
So before he finished this job, he fed the animals as much as he could, providing them with plenty of evolution fluid.
Anyway, it's not money from my own pocket that I'm spending.
It was just tough on the senior student who was in charge of adjusting the evolution fluid.
Hmm... and there's also that locust tree beast of the senior, whose back is so tired every day that it can barely straighten up.
