Chapter 1: Quasi King‑Qualified Unicorn Bug!

"It's almost time to go to the Breeding House to choose a Little Spirit!"

"Do you all already have a Little Spirit you fancy?"

"I want a Little Fire Dragon, but that costs an extra 100,000 yuan, and my family isn't that wealthy."

Listening to the chatter around him, Lin Mo drooped his eyelids and carefully leafed through the Little Spirit move compendium in his hand.

This is one of the Cultural Course assessment items, and also the key to Lin Mo's admission to Jinling High School.

As a rising senior, Jinling High School provides every student with a free starter Little Spirit.

Of course, the so‑called free ones are mostly Green Caterpillars, Unicorn Bugs, and Little Rattata—these low‑tier Little Spirits.

As for the precious Three Noble Beasts, students must spend extra money to obtain them.

But for poor Lin Mo, being able to get a free Little Spirit is already very lucky.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

With the crisp click of high heels, a woman in a red dress entered the classroom.

The woman, named Hong Shao, is Lin Mo's homeroom teacher.

According to rumors in the class, Hong Shao is a rich girl, and teaching here is just gilded.

After a while, she'll go to the Spirit Academy to take a post.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Lin Mo.

"Come out and line up; let's go to the Breeding House together!"

Hong Shao glanced at the chattering students and said, "Move faster, or your Little Spirits will be taken by others."

Hearing this, everyone immediately sprang up.

One by one they stepped outside the classroom and lined up neatly.

"You brats!"

Hong Shao shook her head helplessly and said, "The school has already spoken with the Breeding House and will try to arrange some quality Little Spirits for you."

Following behind Hong Shao.

Soon they stopped in front of a manor.

Several figures in green work uniforms were busy inside.

"Everyone go in with your student ID!"

Hong Shao stood at the entrance and reminded the students, "You have only one hour to choose; after that, unchosen Little Spirits are considered forfeited."

Heeding Hong Shao's instructions, Lin Mo hesitated not at all and entered the area alone.

It has been a year since Lin Mo arrived in this world, yet every time he sees these wondrous creatures, it feels like a dream.

As an orphan, Lin Mo only has a few thousand yuan left for living expenses.

These are the savings from his monthly stipend, saved for today's Breeding House selection.

An extra bit of money might let him pick a better Little Spirit.

Ding‑dong! A Little Spirit Green Caterpillar detected ahead!

【Green Caterpillar (Insect Type)】

【Level: LV4 (Initial Level)】

【Trait: Scale Powder】

【Skill: Spit Silk】

【Potential: Novice Level】

Listening to the System Prompt Sound, Lin Mo skillfully looked behind him.

Little Spirit qualifications and power tiers: Initial Level, Novice Level, Ordinary Level, Elite Level, Quasi King Level, King Level, Champion Level, Triple‑God, Second‑God, First‑God.

Each tier spans ten grades.

Grades 1‑9 are Initial Level, 10‑19 are Novice Level, and so on.

Higher qualification means the Little Spirit's future achievements will be greater.

A Three Noble Beast with Novice qualification cannot advance to Ordinary Level nor achieve final evolution.

Therefore, for Lin Mo,

a Little Spirit with high qualification is more important than anything.

Having been in this world for over a year, Lin Mo has seen Little Spirits ranging from a few hundred to nearly a thousand.

The highest‑qualified among them is only a Quasi King‑level Fire‑Breathing Dragon.

Time being precious, Lin Mo didn't linger and set his sights on a Little Spirit that is only Initial Level.

Ding‑dong! A Little Spirit Little Fire Dragon detected ten meters ahead!

【Little Fire Dragon (Fire Type)】

【Level: LV4 (Initial Level)】

【Trait: Fierce Fire】

【Skills: Grab, Impact, Howl】

【Potential: Elite Level】

An Elite Level Little Fire Dragon counts as a Little Spirit with decent qualification.

With proper training, it can reach the final evolution form.

But when Lin Mo glanced at the price tag—100,000—

he immediately dismissed the thought.

The Little Fire Dragon is also the most precious among all Three Noble Beasts.

Its final evolution form, the Spitting Fire Dragon, moreover possesses two rare evolution forms.

Moreover, the Spitting Fire Dragon's imposing and mighty appearance naturally drives up the price of the Little Fire Dragon.

Among the wealthy male classmates in the class, most choose the Little Fire Dragon.

"Huh?"

Suddenly Lin Mo let out a soft 'yi', and his gaze fell upon a pale yellow Little Spirit.

【Unicorn Insect (Insect Type)】

【Level: LV6 (Initial Stage)】

【Trait: Escape】

【Skill: Spit Silk】

【Potential: Quasi King Level】

"A Quasi King Level Unicorn Insect!!!"

Lin Mo's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness; he never expected to encounter a Quasi King Level Unicorn Insect here.

Although the Unicorn Insect is an Insect-type Little Spirit, its strength is low.

But it also has its own advantage: it grows quickly and does not rely on resources.

It only needs to reach level 10 to evolve into Da Zhen Feng.

And a Da Zhen Feng with novice-level strength already possesses combat ability.

For the commoner orphan Lin Mo, this Unicorn Insect is obviously the best initial Little Spirit.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Mo quickly stepped forward, pointed at the Unicorn Insect in front of him, and said:

"This Unicorn Insect, I'll take it!"

The breeder at the Breeding House, seeing this, raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Lin Mo's plain clothes, didn't say much, and merely said ambiguously:

"The Unicorn Insect is free; the Spirit Ball is extra."

"......"

Lin Mo's face darkened; he directly took out 200 yuan and slapped it in front of the breeder.

Holding the blue-and-white Spirit Ball in his hand, Lin Mo lightly pressed the central button.

In an instant, the Spirit Ball instantly expanded to the size of a fist.

"Go!"

As Lin Mo lightly threw it, the Spirit Ball steadily landed on the Unicorn Insect.

Amidst the flashing red light.

The Unicorn Insect was instantly sucked into the Spirit Ball.

There was no resistance whatsoever.

This is also thanks to the Breeding House; if one encountered a Little Spirit in the wild.

Without defeating it and causing it to lose combat ability, it is fundamentally impossible to capture.

"Lin Mo, what Little Spirit have you chosen?!"

At the same time, a tall girl slowly walked up to Lin Mo's side.

The girl's name is Shen Lian Ni, the daughter of the Shen Clan Group, and she is also a woman who attracts much attention at school.

By rights, she should have nothing to do with him.

But since Lin Mo transmigrated here, his scores in cultural studies have been outstanding.

This instantly sparked a competitive spirit in Shen Lian Ni, and she naturally pays close attention to Lin Mo's every move.

"Unicorn Insect!"

Lin Mo hid nothing, immediately glanced at Shen Lian Ni, and asked: "And you?"

"Fire Chick!"

Shen Lian Ni smiled sweetly, and the Spirit Ball in her hand steadily landed on the ground.

A robust Fire Chick had already appeared before her.

"Ding-dong! A Little Spirit Fire Chick has been detected ahead!"
