Locke: Daily intelligence, I'm going crazy finding bargains!

Practical training field.

As soon as Luo Xing reached the edge of the field, Lei Lei and several boys from Class 2 blocked his way, staring intently at Su Mumu next to Luo Xing, their eyes filled with jealousy.

"Luo Xing, do you dare to fight me?" Lei Lei arrogantly blocked his way.

Luo Xing ignored the idiot in front of him and walked around him. Su Mumu followed behind Luo Xing and made a face at Lei Lei.

Lei Lei panicked and grabbed Luo Xing's school uniform sleeve.

"If you lose, stay away from Su Mumu from now on!"

Luo Xing stopped in his tracks, turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Lei Lei's flushed face, then glanced down at Su Mumu beside him.

Su Mumu was furious. She put her hands on her hips and was about to yell at someone when Luo Xing suddenly raised his hand, grabbed her shoulder, and pulled her to his side.

"Who are you? You're quite nosy." Luo Xing's voice was lazy.

Su Mumu bumped into Luo Xing's arm unexpectedly. Her ears instantly burned, and the words she was about to say got stuck in her throat. She obediently shrank next to Luo Xing without making a sound.

Lei Lei almost ground his back teeth to powder. He suddenly pulled out the Gulu Ball and slammed it heavily on the ground.

A burst of white light appeared, and a graceful bird with blue and white feathers hovered in mid-air.

"Holy crap! A rare quality Winter Sparrow!" A gasp erupted from the Class 2 group.

Lei Lei raised his chin smugly: "Scared now? It's not too late to admit defeat and get out of my sight."

Luo Xing released Su Mumu and casually took out the Gulu Ball and tossed it forward.

"Meow meow".

A flash of white light, and Meow Meow landed lightly, stretched, and yawned widely.

The students in Class Two were stunned for a second, then burst into laughter.

"That's hilarious! Using the weakest Meowth to fight the Winter Sparrow?"

"Grass-type versus Ice-type? The type is weak against it, and it actually chose Meowth? Has Luo Xing lost his mind?!"

Su Mumu clenched her fists and shouted into the arena, "Go Luo Xing! Meow Meow is the best!"

The referee raised the flag.

"3! 2! 1! Go!"

"Winter Sparrow, take off! Use the Freeze Ray!" Lei Lei shouted.

With a flap of its wings, the winter jay soared straight into the sky. A chilling, icy blue light quickly gathered in front of its beak.

"Go ahead and make the best of it, let's finish this quickly." Luo Xing said calmly, without even raising his hand.

Before the Winter Sparrow could even unleash its beam, Meowth slammed its hind legs into the ground, creating several cracks in the battle arena.

A green figure rose from the ground.

boom!

A muffled, loud bang came from mid-air.

Winter Sparrow let out a scream as it was struck by Meow Meow's punch and blasted out of the arena like a cannonball, completely unconscious.

The entire room fell silent.

The once noisy battlefield instantly fell silent, with everyone staring incredulously at the Winter Rain Sparrow lying on the ground, seemingly oblivious to its fate.

Lei Lei's smug expression froze completely. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a sound for a long time.

"That's it?" Luo Xing withdrew Meow Meow and turned to walk towards the stands.

Su Mumu jumped up excitedly, rushed over and hugged Luo Xing's arm, shaking it repeatedly: "Luo Xing, you're so cool! Meow Meow is amazing too!"

Luo Xing pulled his arm away and flicked her forehead: "Mind your behavior, this is in public."

Su Mumu covered her forehead, glared at him, but couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

Luo Xing felt that practical lessons were a waste of time for him, so he went straight to Old Wang in the stands.

"Old Wang, I'd like to apply for exemption from the practical training courses so I can go out and gain experience."

Old Wang did not refuse immediately, but instead opened a drawer, took out a form, and pushed it in front of Luo Xing.

"I've already prepared everything for you. Teacher Bai mentioned your cat's situation to me." Old Wang tapped his fingers on the table. "I also heard about what happened on the playground earlier. Practical training really isn't suitable for you."

Luo Xing picked up the form and glanced at it. The title read "Apprentice Magician Certificate".

"With this, you can enter those newbie protection zones. After that, you'll need to go to the Mage Association to take the assessment and obtain a medal before you can go to higher-level areas," Old Wang said, looking at Luo Xing.

"Thank you, Teacher Wang." Luo Xing folded the certificate and put it in his pocket.

"Be careful. Don't forget about the game." Old Wang waved his hand.

As Luo Xing walked out of the school gate, Su Mumu was standing across the street waving at him.

"Luo Xing! Here!"

After school in the afternoon, the school gate was crowded with people.

Su Mumu, carrying her schoolbag, hopped and skipped up to Luo Xing, blocking his way.

"Luo Xing! My mom wants you to come to my house for dinner tonight."

The two families had been neighbors for many years. Luo Xing stopped and asked, "What delicious food has Aunt Xu made this time?"

"Sweet and sour pork ribs! And your favorite braised shrimp." Su Mumu tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling.

Luo Xing couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at her greedy expression.

"Okay. I'll be there later; I have some things to take care of first."

Su Mumu grabbed his backpack strap, refusing to let it go: "Where are you going? Take me with you."

"Children shouldn't ask about adult matters." Luo Xing hailed a taxi and opened the car door.

"Who's a kid! I'm eighteen!" Su Mumu stomped her foot angrily and puffed out her chest.

"I really didn't notice."

The car sped away. Su Mumu froze for two seconds, her cheeks instantly turning bright red, and even the base of her neck felt hot.

"Luo Xing! You big scoundrel!"

The northern suburbs.

Following the coordinates provided by the system, Luo Xing found the "Wang Ji Wonton" stall.

The stall wasn't big, and an elderly couple was busy working there. Luo Xing found an empty table and sat down.

"Auntie, a bowl of wontons, please."

"Okay, coming right away!" The old lady quickly cooked the wontons and brought them to the table.

Luo Xing picked up the spoon and glanced at the corner. On the pickled vegetable jar, there was a bluish-gray stone slab. The surface of the stone slab was covered with dirt, but Luo Xing could see the faint light flowing on it at a glance.

[Item: Skill Tablet (Epic)]

[Recorded Skill: Listening Bridge (Martial Arts)]

[Effect: Passively senses airflow and muscle exertion, achieving 100% prediction of melee attacks from opponents of the same level, and uses this momentum to counterattack.]

Luo Xing's heart skipped a beat. This was a good thing, perfect for Miao Miao.

He finished his wontons in a few bites and went straight to the pickled vegetable jar.

"Auntie, I really like this stone, could you sell it to me?"

The old lady wiped her hands, came over and took a look, and laughed.

"Young man, I picked up this broken stone on the back hill to weigh down sauerkraut. If you like it, just take it. Why ask for money?"

Luo Xing certainly couldn't take it for free, so he took out all the Locke Coins from his pocket, intending to secretly put them under the bowl.

Just then, the old lady who sells pancakes next door came over.

"Hey Old Wang, have you found your DouDou yet?"

The old woman's smile vanished instantly, and she let out a heavy sigh.

"No, it's been three days already. This dog is usually very obedient, but a few days ago I don't know what happened to it. It would bare its teeth at people, and then it just ran away and disappeared."

The pancake vendor shook her head: "I heard from Old Li that the last time he saw Dou Dou, she was running towards the Fairy Forest. That place is dangerous, and you two can't go in."

Luo Xing paused.

Fairy Forest?

That's the largest free hunting area for beginners in Los Angeles. He originally planned to go there to level up and also look for good Pokémon.

"Auntie," Luo Xing picked up the stone slab, "I was just about to go to the Fairy Forest. What does Dou Dou look like? I'll help you find her on the way."

The old woman's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Luo Xing's arm.

"Really? Thank you so much, young man! DouDou is a protective dog, and she wears a star-shaped collar around her neck."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Luo Xing carried the stone slab in one hand and took a taxi straight to the Fairy Forest.
