What should I do if my pet loves watching anime?

"Mwah~" The sheep nuzzled his hand affectionately, its eyes filled with the relief and a little bit of pride after completing the task.

Gu Beiri looked at it, and a thought suddenly struck him.

The mission seemed simple, but the process went much more smoothly than he had expected.

From initial observation and infiltration, to frightening and expelling, and finally to pursuit and confirmation...

Throughout the entire process, Mare the sheep demonstrated extremely high obedience and tactical execution.

Especially the exquisite control over electrical sites, and the precise grasp of the power and landing point of electric shocks.

These are all the results of a month of hellish training.

It seems that Zhao Wumian's abuse was not entirely without reason.

The extreme pressure and the tempering in real combat have indeed allowed Mare the Sheep and himself to grow rapidly.

"Let's go back and turn in the mission."

It was already evening when I returned to the Trainers Guild.

The receptionist was surprised to see Gu Beiri return so quickly and hand over the complete mission credentials.

He carefully checked the footage and confirmed that the monkey monster had indeed been driven away from the mission area without the use of excessive force.

"Good efficiency, and it was handled cleanly." The uncle rarely showed a hint of approval.

"The reward of 1000 Alliance Coins and 18 Guild Points has been transferred to your account."

The trainee level on your identity card will also accumulate evaluation points based on your performance in this mission.

He handed Gu Beiri an envelope containing cash and an updated ID card.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome.

"You're quite interesting, young man. Next time, you could try D-rank missions. Some escort or investigation missions are perfect for a smart newbie like you."

The uncle unusually said a few more words.

It was already dark when I left the guild.

Gu Beiri was planning how to use the money in the future.

I'll save some of it, use some to buy training supplies, and buy some things for my parents...

Thinking this, Gu Beiri opened the Sheep's interface again.

[Elf: Mare the Sheep]

[Level: lv14]

[Attribute: Electric]

【Characteristics: Electrical Manufacturer】

[Qualification: A+]

[Skills: Tackle, Shout, Electric Shock, Electromagnetic Wave, Electric Terrain, Draft, Cotton Spore]

[Custom Skill: Counterattack Shield]

Level 14 already?

Gu Beiri was quite surprised, but considering that the intensity of training and the frequency of combat had been much higher recently than in the previous two months, he was relieved.

Back at the Elf University dormitory, Gu Beiri had just pushed open the door to room 307 when he sensed something was wrong.

The main lights in the living room weren't on; only a table lamp was lit. Chen Hao huddled in the corner by the desk like a frightened quail, desperately winking at him, his expression screaming "Run!" and "Good luck!"

In the center of the room, Zhao Wumian sat imposingly on the hardest wooden chair.

He changed back into his signature black casual clothes, casually crossing his left leg over his right knee, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.

The poisonous toad crouched quietly at Gu Beiri's feet, its dark red eyes fixed on him, its venomous paws rhythmically tapping the ground.

A person and a frog, exactly the same.

"Is the mission complete?" Zhao Wumian asked calmly.

"Yes, disperse the monkey monster horde. I just submitted the request to the guild."

Gu Beiri answered honestly, and in front of Zhao Wumian, he wouldn't dare to make any small moves.

"Guild points, 18 points. Adding your previous arena points, your total points are now 143 points."

Zhao Wumian reported the numbers accurately, which clearly showed that he had very timely information.

"It's still a long way from the 1500 points needed to become a three-star trainer, but it's definitely safer and faster than the arena, and you can also get rewards."

Gu Beiri's heart was in his throat.

Is it coming?

He didn't believe Zhao Wumian was praising him.

This person is unpredictable and capricious in his behavior, speech, and so on.

The trouble is big.

At this moment, Gu Beiri wished he could strangle himself.

Why try to exploit that loophole!

Zhao Wumian stood up and slowly walked to Gu Beiri. His height gave Gu Beiri a considerable sense of pressure.

"Exploiting loopholes in the rules and exploiting vulnerabilities in the task system to quickly accumulate low-risk points..."

Zhao Wumian leaned slightly forward, his voice low but clear.

"There's nothing wrong with that in itself."

Even within the Special Investigations Division, we sometimes need unconventional methods to achieve our goals.

"Furthermore, you've made very clever use of the resources at your disposal. I must say, Su Wenya is really good to you..."

Zhao Wumian was already a head taller than Gu Beiri. As his face got closer to Gu Beiri, the scar at the corner of his eye gave him a ruthless aura.

Gu Beiri couldn't help but swallow.

The next moment, Zhao Wumian changed the subject.

"But, Gu Beiri,"

Zhao Wumian's eyes suddenly turned sharp as knives.

"The premise of exploiting loopholes is that you have enough strength and awareness to bear all possible unexpected consequences."

The reason rules allow loopholes is often because what fills them is a bloody lesson, or... a trap left by the designers for those who think themselves clever.

A barely perceptible, cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "It seems you're quite confident in bearing the consequences?"

"Teacher, I..."

Gu Beiri still wanted to argue and defend himself, saying that he was just choosing a suitable task and did not underestimate the risks.

However, Zhao Wumian did not give him another chance to speak.

The poisonous skeletal frog standing behind him moved without warning.

So fast that only a blur remained!

Gu Beiri didn't even see what it did; he only felt a slight, almost imperceptible prick on the side of his neck, like a mosquito bite.

The next second, a strong sense of dizziness swept over his consciousness like a tsunami.

The vision blurred and spun rapidly, and Zhao Wumian's cold, hard face and the Poison Skull Frog's dark red eyes became the last image to be captured.

He tried to steady himself, but felt all the strength drain from his limbs in an instant, and he fell softly backward.

In the instant before he completely lost consciousness, he seemed to hear Zhao Wumian's indifferent voice drifting over:

"As your mentor, this is the first lesson I'm teaching you."

Never assume that your opponent will play by your rules.

…………

When consciousness returned, the first thing I felt was the damp soil and decaying leaves beneath me, and the rich, foresty scent in the air, a mixture of fresh grass and a faint musty smell.

Gu Beiri suddenly opened his eyes, sat up abruptly, and looked around warily.

The tall trees blocked out the sun, with only sparse patches of light filtering through the layers of branches and leaves.

Vines entwine, shrubs grow in abundance, and in the distance come the chirping of unknown birds and insects.

This was a primeval forest completely unfamiliar to him.

"Baa..." A faint but familiar call rang out at my feet.

The sheep was anxiously rubbing its head against him, its body flickering with static electricity, clearly also feeling uneasy and wary of this sudden change in environment.

Gu Beiri quickly checked himself.

He was still wearing his training clothes, and some parts of them were covered in mud and grass when he fell.

He touched the side of his neck; there were no wounds or discomfort, but the stinging pain he felt just moments before losing consciousness was still fresh in his memory.

Memories from before I fell into a coma came flooding back, and scenes from last night replayed in my mind.

"Bastard." Gu Beiri gritted his teeth and squeezed out the two words.

No matter how much you curse, it won't help.

With a sigh, Gu Beiri patted his pocket and found an unfamiliar, slightly worn-out old-fashioned mobile phone in addition to the Poké Ball.

There was also a small wilderness survival backpack not far away.

"Damn it!"

Where did I come from? Is this still in China?
