Chapter 2: Selecting Pet Beasts (Part 1)

Ye Bai's gaze fell upon his pure and unsullied deskmate; Li Weiyang was certainly a good name.

In ancient times, the Weiyang Palace was the Emperor's main audience hall, also symbolizing that imperial power would never decline, would be free of disasters, and would last for eternity.

Since she was young, Li Weiyang possessed the ambition of the blue clouds; she wanted to become a dragon among men and a phoenix among women.

She had exquisite facial features, every detail just right, and her eyes were deep and bright, as if they could see through a person's heart.

Her skin was as white as jade, smooth and delicate, as if it could drip water; those slender legs and her golden-ratio figure could capture everyone's gaze wherever she walked.

Li Weiyang's smile was radiant and charming, always able to make those around her feel warm and delighted.

She had held the top spot on the Shenshan Middle School campus beauty rankings for three consecutive years and was hailed as the most beautiful campus beauty in the history of Shenshan Middle School.

The persona of an inspirational girl and a genius research girl brought Li Weiyang many halos, and this also brought Li Weiyang many benefits.

Only Ye Bai saw through this little white flower, who appeared pure and unaffected on the surface, but was essentially a man-eating flower in private.

Although the two were deskmates and looked down on each other, they kept to themselves, even though Li Weiyang had never beaten Ye Bai in any exam.

After the awakening ceremony ended, Li Weiyang was surrounded by a circle of people offering compliments.

"Congratulations, Class Monitor. From now on, you are a person above others. Please take care of us in the future."

"Class Monitor, can I ask you to guide my Pet Beast's evolution path in the future?"

"Class Monitor, you are really so beautiful. Your skin is so white; what kind of face mask do you use?"

Li Weiyang cast a provocative glance at Ye Bai; at this moment, she was just like a peacock spreading its tail.

"Crazy woman!" Ye Bai rolled his eyes with a look of disdain.

Although the Insight Eye talent was rare, it still couldn't compare to his own Daily Intelligence System.

After all, this system could provide many classified pieces of intelligence; what did a mere Insight Eye count for?

Originally, Ye Bai's fame in the class was on par with Li Weiyang's.

As a result, after he awakened this Photographic Memory talent, he was cast aside by everyone.

Because everyone knew this talent really didn't have much use; the best outcome was to be a researcher staying in a Laboratory.

If one wanted to go to the wilderness to expand territory, it was basically impossible.

"Alright, those who have awakened talents, please follow me. Let's go to the Secret Realm to choose a Pet Beast."

"The Pet Beasts newly cultivated by the school all have quite good talents."

Zhang Lingxue raised her eyebrows; out of the sixty people in the whole class, only one-third had awakened a talent.

Those who did not awaken a talent could only be assigned to ordinary classes; they were no longer in the same social class as the classmates who had awakened talents.

The school's Secret Realm was something that a powerful Pet Beast Master, before passing away, had stripped from their own Pet Beast Space, then utilized a massive amount of space stones, and after several expansions and the efforts of successive principals, it had expanded to this extent.

Because the Secret Realm was extremely large, it would take half an hour to drive through the entire Secret Realm.

The Class Teacher Zhang Lingxue had changed into a new outfit.

On her head, she wore a white rabbit-ear hat, the rabbit ears constantly twitching, as if they were alive.

Zhang Lingxue took out a notebook and began to recommend the Pet Beasts she favored that were suitable for beginners.

"Our school's Secret Realm has been expanded through the generations and covers a vast area."

"There are many Pet Beasts cultivated inside, and I have screened a few types of Pet Beasts for everyone."

Zhang Lingxue tapped the tablet on the school bus a few times, and the projector on the school bus immediately projected the image of a Pet Beast.

This Pet Beast was entirely white as jade, just like a giant silkworm baby, with two small horns on its head, looking completely harmless.

"This is a Baibian Can, which is also the subject of my research and the main Pet Beast of Shenshan Middle School."

"It has almost no attack power; the only attack method it has mastered is the Silk Spitting skill."

"The Silk Spitting skill, when it hits a person, is just like being tickled; it doesn't hurt or itch at all."

"However, its defensive power is extremely strong; everyone can choose this Pet Beast as a transition in the early stages."

"Because the genes of the Baibian Can are not very stable, everyone can also research the evolution directions of the Baibian Can."

"The currently known evolution directions of the Baibian Can include the Huidu E, the Guangming Nüshen Die that I researched, the Phantom Water Butterfly, the Flame Butterfly, and the Wood Spirit."

"If anyone can discover a sixth evolution path for the Baibian Can, as long as it is published and achieves reproducibility and stability, you can obtain the Intermediate Researcher qualification granted by the Yan Kingdom Alliance."

After finishing talking about the Baibian Can, Zhang Lingxue tapped the tablet again, making a clacking sound.

Another projection popped up.

This was a fire-red stone; its four limbs were very short, its body was covered with holes, and wisps of Mars-like sparks emerged from the holes.

"This Pet Beast is called a Baobaoshi; it usually inhabits volcanic areas. Its personality is slightly milder, but you still have to go along with its temper, otherwise, it will teach you a lesson at any time."

"At the beginning, the power of the Baobaoshi's explosion is not strong, and the only skill they know is Rolling, but as resources are invested into cultivating the Baobaoshi, its explosion range will also become stronger and stronger."

"A powerful Baobaoshi can even produce an explosion level similar to a rocket launcher."

"Its evolution path, the Blast Stone, is also very clear, and it can be transformed into a relatively powerful Pet Beast in a short time, so it is worth cultivating."

Subsequently, the Class Teacher changed to another Pet Beast.

This was a Pet Beast that looked like a little snowman; its body was like it had been piled up from snowballs, with two tree branches inserted into its body, its nose was made of a carrot, and its two eyes were black.

Although it looked like a casually piled snowman on the surface, it was actually a Pet Beast.

It was an ice-type Pet Beast; its nose was a Ruby Carrot, which was said to be crunchy when bitten and very sweet when eaten.

Don't look at this guy like this; it also possessed multiple evolution paths, and it was said to be quite popular among girls.

It was just that the number of this kind of Pet Beast was particularly scarce; even in the school's Secret Realm, it was a relatively rare Pet Beast.

"This Pet Beast called Xiao Xueqiu is something everyone might be more familiar with, as it often appears on the school forum."

"Its numbers are very few, and its evolution paths are also particularly clear; it is said that this year the school specifically opened up two spots for everyone to obtain a Xiao Xueqiu."

"It is very worth cultivating; it can evolve into a Blizzard Man, or it can evolve into an Ice Snowball."

"Because there are many monks but little gruel, the Xiao Xueqiu is selected in reverse."

"It is the Xiao Xueqiu that chooses you, not you choosing the Xiao Xueqiu."

At this moment, someone shamelessly raised their hand and asked Zhang Lingxue, "Teacher, if Xiao Xueqiu doesn't choose any of us, can we choose for ourselves?"

Zhang Lingxue rolled her eyes: "I already said it's a reverse selection; if it didn't choose anyone, it proves that none of you caught Xiao Xue's eye, so naturally, there's no chance."
