Digimon: I really didn't want to be the Digimon Emperor!

[Digimon Hunter: Those dangerous places should be locked down! Are you out of your mind?]

As Cheng Yuan continued scrolling down, a message in the entertainment section caught his attention:

Penguin Pictures launches "Digital Queen Creation Camp," where contestants will compete on stage with their Digimon partners.

The comments section was filled with complaints:

[User 8848: It's the same old trick, nothing new]

[Digital Fan: Another draft? Can't we have something fresh?]

Cheng Yuan pursed his lips, about to turn off his phone, when his stomach started growling.

"Let's go, let's fill our stomachs first." He picked up the Meow Meow Beast, "Then I'll take you to Qingtian Square for training."

After finishing their meal, Cheng Yuan was practicing new skills with Meow Meow Beast by the fountain in Qingtian Square.

“Aim at that can,” he pointed to the trash can five meters away, “and fire!”

"Meow!"

The light bullet flew off at an angle and hit an old man's ice cream right in the hand.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Cheng Yuan quickly apologized and paid the money, then dragged the Meow Meow Beast to the other side of the fountain.

It seems that places with a lot of people are not very suitable for training.

He held the Meow Meow Beast, looked at the bright moonlight, and hummed "Butter-Fly." Although he was tone-deaf, he had a strong sense of rhythm.

I wish I could transform into a butterfly, fluttering my wings to fly to your side.

"It's just because I want to see you as soon as possible."

……

"Within the infinitely vast digital space, dreams and beliefs merge."

Nothing is impossible; no matter how much danger you encounter, I'll be by your side.

Even if I get lost in a maze of numbers, I will be able to see it through thousands of years.

"I will fly to you, Oh My Love..."

The meowing beast swayed its head to the rhythm, the golden ring on its tail flashing with each beat, looking just like a mini disco ball.

"Does it sound nice?" Cheng Yuan poked its soft belly. "If I'm in danger during future adventures in the digital world, will you come to my rescue wearing a five-colored holy robe and riding on a seven-colored auspicious cloud?"

"Meow!" The little guy nodded solemnly, making Cheng Yuan burst into laughter. Just then, a system notification popped up:

[Ding! Bond level increased, main attribute +5]

[Holy +5, Light +5, Dark +5]

"Such a good thing? Listening to music can actually improve attributes?" Cheng Yuan's eyes lit up. "It seems that cultivating relationships really works!"

"Meow!" Meow Meow Beast nodded affirmatively.

Sure enough, the trainer needed to build a relationship with the Digimon. Cheng Yuan discovered through the system that Meow Meow's attribute data had actually improved slightly.

"Meow Meow Beast, did you know that there's another version of this song called 'Evolve, Desk Mate'? I'll play it for you if you like."

He cleared his throat: "Evolve, My Deskmate... Who will marry the sentimental you..."

"Pfft!"

Just as I finished singing, a soft laugh came from behind me.

Cheng Yuan turned around and saw a pretty girl with a high ponytail hugging a guitar and chuckling to herself.

A star beast floated beside her, and three plectrum beasts circled the guitar like satellites—the little creatures were looking at him with adoration.

“This song…” the girl said, smoothing her hair a little shyly, “Is it your original song? I can’t find it on music platforms.”

Cheng Yuan opened his mouth, then suddenly realized a problem: Butter-Fly doesn't exist in this world!

"I guess so..."

“I’m Yun Yao,” the girl said, extending her hand confidently. “I’m a contestant on ‘Digital Queen Creation Camp,’ and we’re doing a roadshow over there.” She pointed to the makeshift stage not far away. “I heard you singing during the break just now; the melody was really catchy.”

Suddenly, the Star Beast floated in front of Cheng Yuan, clasped its hands together in a pleading gesture, and the three Piece Beasts knelt directly at the edge of the fountain, clasping their hands together in a pleading gesture, thirsting for the song.

“They…” Cheng Yuan’s lips twitched.

"They absolutely love your song!" Yun Yao clasped her hands together. "If you're willing... I'd like to buy the copyright to this song? The price is negotiable!"

Cheng Yuan's brain raced: Copyright fees = cash = wealth = a stronger Digimon!

Seeing Cheng Yuan hesitate, Yun Yao said that if the song became a hit, in addition to the cost of purchasing it, according to industry practice, he would also receive a share of the online song requests.

Cheng Yuan hesitated for a moment. This song didn't exist in this world, so selling it like this shouldn't be considered copyright infringement, right?

Let's just consider it a small investment in the world. Anyway, I have nothing to begin with, so Cheng Yuan agreed.

Over the next half hour, a magical scene unfolded in the square: a boy was humming the lyrics while teaching a song, a group of Star Beasts and Piece Beasts were frantically memorizing the score in their notebooks, and a girl was holding a guitar and occasionally exclaiming "So that's how it is!"

When Yun Yao was finally able to sing and play the song completely, she excitedly opened her phone: "Let's sign an agreement!"

The girl smiled, opened her phone, added Cheng Yuan's contact information, and sent him an agreement.

Cheng Yuan stared at the numbers that appeared on the screen—5 yuan in copyright fees plus a 10% share of revenue—and almost choked on his own saliva.

"I think...this might become a viral hit across the entire internet!" Yun Yao said earnestly.

After the agreement was signed, the 5 yuan was instantly deposited into his account. What surprised Cheng Yuan even more was—

Wealth Value +50000

The next day at school, Cheng Yuan walked with a swagger. During breaks, he continued his "little business."

"We've almost reached our goal."

On the third day, the system's wealth value finally exceeded the target. Cheng Yuan couldn't wait to give the Meow Meow Beast a final round of stat allocation.

【Holy 1005, Light 1000】!

With a dazzling golden light, MeowMeow's body began to change—

"It's about to evolve!" Cheng Yuan held his breath, his eyes fixed on the ever-brightening light...

Chapter 7 Evolution of the Puppy Beast

Cheng Yuan slammed the door shut and tossed his schoolbag onto the bed. The room was instantly illuminated by the golden light emanating from the Meow Meow Beast, making even the sunlight filtering through the curtains pale in comparison.

"Do we need to evolve here?" Cheng Yuan looked around. The small bedroom was filled with Digimon breeding manuals and data cubes.

He quickly cleared a space on his desk and placed the Meow Meow Beast on it.

The little guy's body trembled violently, and the golden fur at the end of its tail suddenly began to grow wildly. The fur intertwined with each other as if it were alive, gradually weaving into a perfect ring.

"Is this the process of the formation of the Sacred Ring?" Cheng Yuan held his breath, his fingers unconsciously gripping the edge of the table.

Suddenly, a blinding golden light burst forth from the Meow Meow Beast's body, and the temperature in the entire room rose abruptly.

The little creature was completely enveloped in a dazzling golden cocoon, the surface of which was covered with mysterious digital runes that projected ever-changing light and shadow onto the wall.

"Snap—"

The first crack appeared on the surface of the cocoon, followed by a rapid spread of spiderweb-like fissures. Cheng Yuan subconsciously stepped back, his back pressed against the door.

As the cocoon shattered completely, a taller, white figure gracefully landed. Its snow-white fur shimmered like pearls in the sunlight, and the sacred halo around its neck emitted a soft golden light.

"Little dog beast!" Cheng Yuan's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

[Little Dog Beast]

[Vaccine Type, Beast Type, Divine Series]

[Growth Period]

[Skills: Divine Ring, Dog Roar, Extreme Speed ​​Collision]

[Introduction: A beast-type Digimon possessing divine power, with a sensitive and loyal personality. Its Digicore on its chest can sense negative emotions in its surroundings, and its Divine Ring can resist the corrosive influence of dark forces.]

The little guy opened its bright blue eyes, and the moment it saw Cheng Yuan, it barked happily and pounced into its owner's arms. Cheng Yuan was knocked back two steps by the force of the impact, and his back slammed against the wardrobe with a "thud".

"Gently, gently!" Cheng Yuan smiled and ruffled the little dog's hair.

The little dog suddenly perked up its ears and turned warily toward the door. The next second, Cheng Yuan's mother called from outside the door, "Xiao Yuan! What are you doing in your room? The whole house is shaking!"

"N-nothing!" Cheng Yuan hurriedly replied, "It's just... I'm doing physical training!"

The little dog's tail swayed gently, and the light from its divine halo gradually dimmed. Cheng Yuan gazed at his new companion, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his face—he was one step closer to becoming Angewomon!

The next morning, the moment Cheng Yuan walked into the classroom with his little dog, the entire class seemed to be paused, followed by a deafening roar of surprise.

Wow! Growing up!

"It's only been a few days? That's incredible!"

"Cheng Yuan, are you cheating?"

"How did cats evolve into dogs? That's not scientific!"

Teacher Liu Liuyan pushed up her glasses and rarely showed an approving smile: "Not bad, not bad. You've evolved to the growth stage so quickly. It seems you've put in a lot of effort."

Zhao Lu stood not far away, looking at the cute and obedient little dogmon, then patted and looked at the Caprimon on her shoulder: "How can it be so cute... Caprimon, let's do our best, we'll catch up soon..."

The class bell rang, but the class group chat exploded.

[Li Xiang]: Cheng Yuan, please guide me! How did you manage that?

[Wang Ming]: Same here! My Green Leaf Beast is still in its juvenile stage I!

[Zhang Wei]: Is there some secret? Share it!

Cheng Yuan glanced furtively at the teacher writing on the blackboard with his back to the students, and quickly typed a reply:

[Cheng Yuan]: Actually, I used to be just average in academics and Digimon, and I'm still just average now. But! If everyone works even a tiny bit harder than me, I believe you'll catch up with me very soon~

[Zhao Lu]: ...Versailles, right?

[Wang Ming]: I give this performance a perfect score!

[Li Xiang]: The big boss is too humble!

"Cheng Yuan!"

The stern shout startled Cheng Yuan so much that he almost threw his phone away.

Teacher Liu was already standing in front of him, her face grim: "Playing on your phone during class? Come to the office with me!"

In the office...

Why are you using your phone during class?

"As a student, it's perfectly reasonable for me to secretly play on my phone during class, right?"

Cheng Yuan thought to himself, but said aloud, "A classmate just asked me how to raise Digimon. It's my fault for being so helpful and eager to teach; I always end up helping my classmates first. It's my fault."

Teacher Liu sighed and said earnestly, "Do you know that the class placement exam is coming up soon?"

Cheng Yuan kept his head down, and the little dog was pacing anxiously around his feet.

"Besides the arts and sciences, the combat department also has teachers from the Beast Tamer Association who provide special training and assessments." Teacher Liu pushed up his glasses. "Given your current stage of growth as a little dog beast, if you continue to work hard, it's not impossible for you to be admitted to the elite class through special admission."

Cheng Yuan suddenly looked up: "Really?"

"The premise is—" Teacher Liu tapped the table, "that you focus your attention on the right things!"

"Yes, teacher!" Cheng Yuan stood at attention, his heart overflowing with joy. The elite class meant better resources, more professional guidance, and...

One step closer to evolving into Angewomon!

He glanced at the smug little dog at his feet, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Cheng Yuan became famous, at least in Class 18 of the senior year.

To be precise, things completely exploded in Class 18 of the senior year. Just yesterday, everyone's Digimon were still struggling in their infancy, and Cheng Yuan's grades were only average.

But what about now? It's the growth period!

The first growth period for Class 18 of Senior Three!

One thing everyone knows is that last year, the minimum requirement for admission to Pengcheng Beast Tamer University was that the Digimon had reached the Growth stage, and other grades, also known as the "entrance exam cutoff line," were also considered.

Doesn't this mean that Cheng Yuan's Digimon have already reached the threshold of Pengcheng Beast Tamer University?
