My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 29 Fireworks, why do you steal everything? (Please continue reading!)

Ruined……

Looking at the credits on his student card, Zhou Lu suddenly thought of something.

I was planning to use a few one-time skill cards for [Body Feeding] during the exam.

I was so engrossed in the exam that I forgot to slack off and do my homework.

Fortunately, I managed to get a few [Body Feed] by being late before the exam started, otherwise I wouldn't know how I would have gotten to the Secret Realm for training.

Anyway, let's check if there are any other tasks in the system first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhou Lu opened the system, a series of failed tasks appeared on his screen.

[Ding! Mission failed.]

[You made your spirit pet slack off during the exam, but this didn't change the result.]

You have received 10% of the mission reward. Please check your account.

The system has reset this task. Please try again.

*****

[Ding! Mission failed.]

You angered the examiner; you almost caused the exam to fail, but unfortunately, the principal showed up.

You have received 60% of the mission reward. Please check your account.

The system has reset this task. Please try again.

……

Zhou Lu was dumbfounded.

Did you provoke Liang Quan? It was clearly you who suddenly became angry!

Also, when did Hanabi slack off? I didn't notice at all!

Zhou Lu flipped the page down.

Your spirit pet stole the red orb. Unfortunately, the school doesn't seem to have discovered this.

Your plan to have Xu Wuhu and others' exam results canceled through this action has failed.

???

Zhou Lu suddenly looked at the fireworks to the side.

At this moment, Fireworks was holding the low-level growth potion that Zhou Lu had rewarded it with, wandering back and forth in front of a group of spirit pets in the rest area, stopping every now and then in front of a few spirit pets to wave the potion in its hand.

Look! This is my reward! You didn't get one!

"Hanabi, come here." Zhou Lu took a deep breath and called Hanabi over from a distance.

As soon as Huahuo heard Zhou Lu's voice, she happily crawled over.

Zhou Lu picked up Huahuo and headed straight for the dormitory, intending to ask her about the situation once he got back.

Before leaving, Hanabi didn't forget to stretch out her vines and wave her potion at the spirit pets in the distance.

The spirit beasts had an instinctive, natural desire for this growth potion, and their eyes revealed envy as they looked at Hanabi.

Unfortunately, their owner would never exchange them for this potion.

Wealthy students will buy more expensive potions, while ordinary students will not waste their credits on such low-grade potions.

Back in the dorm, Xiaoxi was sitting cross-legged on the computer keyboard, occasionally clicking refresh, muttering, "Why should I refresh the forum for you? Damn it, it's like I have nothing better to do all day."

Hearing the door open, Xiaoxi immediately turned around, scrutinized Zhou Lu, and said, "Looks like you passed the exam?"

Zhou Lu gave a brief report on the results.

Xiaoxi seemed very happy: "Congratulations! There aren't many people who get a perfect score."

"The 100 credits are extremely useful." Zhou Lu now felt as if he had a huge sum of money.

As he spoke, Zhou Lu remembered why he had rushed back.

He raised the firework, staring intently at it: "Did you steal something during the exam?"

Fireworks initially tried to play dumb, its leaves swaying.

"Give it to me," Zhou Lu said gently. "Stealing isn't something a good kid does."

Seemingly sensing that pretending to be stupid would make her owner dislike her, Hanabi finally obediently took a red pearl out of her flowerpot.

This was the objective the candidates needed to achieve in the first round of the exam. At that time, Zhou Lu and his group simply tied Liang Quan up, thus defeating the examiners and passing the exam.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Liang Quan, and no one noticed that Hua Huo secretly took the red pearl from the stage.

The funniest thing is that even the school didn't notice.

This red bead isn't actually anything particularly rare; it's even used as a consumable for exams.

Since this exam used the Mud Monster, even if the pearl disappeared, they could simply assume that they had been trapped inside the Mud Monster's body.

Although the items themselves aren't very important, Hanahime's behavior of taking things without permission still needs to be addressed.

However, when Zhou Lu took the item from Hanabi's hand, he could clearly sense Hanabi's reluctance.

"You should put this away," Xiao Xi suddenly said. "When a spirit beast shows a strong desire for something, it's usually because that thing is beneficial to its growth and evolution."

It is by utilizing this characteristic of spirit beasts that researchers have been able to gradually discover their evolution formulas.

Is it beneficial to the evolution of fireworks?

Zhou Lu looked at the red bead in his hand and suddenly began to think, "These things are often lost, aren't they..."

"Hey, weren't you just telling your spirit pet not to steal?" Xiao Xi said with deadpan eyes.

Zhou Lu shamelessly said, "Can a Beast Tamer collecting evolution materials be called stealing? If you can tell me where this came from, I might not have any bad intentions."

Xiaoxi rolled her eyes. "My consultations are all paid. And do you really not even have the ability to do your own research? The school's props are all procured through a bidding process!"

As a knowledgeable fairy, Xiao Xi was considered very easy to talk to in this group. Although she clearly stated that she would only reveal information if she was paid, her next sentence revealed information to Zhou Lu.

"Thank you, Teacher Xiaoxi!" Zhou Lu happily patted Xiaoxi's head.

Just as Xiaoxi was about to express her anger at this behavior, she saw Hanabi mimicking her by stretching out vines and rubbing her head.

Her lips twitched slightly, but she ultimately said nothing.

Meanwhile, Zhou Lu had already found information about the red bead on the school's official website.

Considering that this treasure is intended as an exam tool for combat, it needs to be durable enough while not being too expensive.

"A pearl from a giant white jade snail?" Zhou Lu couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the message.

He never expected that the red bead would actually be the pearl of the white jade snail, marketed as the Red Jade Pearl.

This is such a wonderful coincidence.

She was just about to go find the White Jade Snail when Hanabi showed such a strong desire for its pearl.

It seems we need to put our plans to visit the Linxi Secret Realm on the agenda as soon as possible.

During dinner, the college credited Zhou Lu's perfect score to his student card.

It has to be said that the academy is really generous, giving Zhou Lu a total of three opportunities to redeem materials for free from the academy's shop.

Moreover, there is no limit to the rarity of this exchange opportunity. In other words, as long as Zhou Lu can find it in the Academy Shop, no matter how rare the material is, he can exchange it for free.

Unfortunately, because the evolution materials for spirit beasts are always in short supply, many sought-after materials, no matter how rare, are snatched up instantly as soon as they appear.

With that in mind, Zhou Lu opened the forum.

This influx of credits gave him enough confidence to offer a reward on the forum for the ancient books he wanted.

However, as soon as Zhou Lu opened the forum, he saw an anonymous student posting in the black market that was selling several ancient books he had.

coming!

Zhou Lu's eyes lit up immediately.
