Chapter 95: Chapter 39 Special Free Order Event (Seeking Investment and Follow-up Reading)_2

Qiuqiu skillfully grabbed the food from the plate with her little meaty paws and popped it into her mouth, while Lin Su initially used chopsticks, but soon discovered that even with chopsticks, he wasn’t eating as fast as Qiuqiu, so he decisively put them down and used his hands instead.

In the midst of their ravenous eating, the variety of delicacies on the plates swiftly diminished, creating a small mountain of bones and shrimp shells along the edges.

“Thump thump thump.”

Lin Su finished the last sip of Petal Cow’s milk, savoring the sweet and not fishy flavor with a hint of floral notes that gently swept away the last traces of greasiness in his mouth and nose. He glanced at Qiuqiu, who, with a round belly from overeating, lazily sat there licking the milk poured into her plate, and chuckled, “Let’s go, we should settle the bill.”

He swore, this was by far the most lavish meal he had ever had.

After wiping his hands clean of grease with a specially formulated degreasing wet wipe, Lin Su took another wipe and slowly cleaned Qiuqiu’s greasy little paws as well. Then he picked up Qiuqiu, stood up, and was ready to pay, but before he reached the front desk, some commotion in an open space nearby caught his attention.

“Eh?”

…

“Xuyang bro, you’ve been at Jinghua University for a year, how do you feel about it?” In a two-seater area not far from them inside the Han Food Restaurant, a girl curiously asked the boy opposite her.

“That’s definitely very good,” Zhang Xuyang said with a tone of pride, “As you know, Jinghua University is an old prestigious school in the Yanhuang Alliance. Its history dates back hundreds of years before the Great Calamity and even today, it regularly ranks first among universities.”

“As for your cousin…” he chuckled, “I’m considered quite good at the university, although I can’t compare to a few monsters in my year, but I’ve been very lucky.”

“I joined the research group of Researcher Shi Yuhua at the Institute, and participated in an important research topic. Although I didn’t contribute much, mainly helping out, that research topic is Jinghua University’s entry in the Tomorrow’s Breeding Achievement Contest. You might see me on screen tomorrow!”

Zhang Xuyang said somewhat proudly, as among his first-year classmates, none had the opportunity to be part of such an important project. Seeing the look of admiration on his cousin’s face after he spoke, he felt a great sense of vanity satisfied.

“Anyway, Qingqing cousing, in a few days when you get the qualification to apply for universities, choosing Jinghua University will be a no-brainer,” he said with a slight smile. “I’m acquainted with many students from other disciplines; no matter which department you enter, you’ll be taken care of by seniors.”

“Thank you cousin!” Zhang Qingqing giggled and nodded vigorously.

Seeking advice from her cousin who had entered Jinghua University a year earlier reinforced her determination to choose it.

“Eh?” As Zhang Qingqing was about to speak, suddenly there was some disturbance nearby.

She looked in the direction of the noise and saw that a large open space in the restaurant, which had been empty, now contained three different pets.

“Cousin, what’s this?” It was her first visit to this restaurant, and she was unfamiliar with it.

“This is a surprise event that occasionally takes place in this restaurant,” Zhang Xuyang explained, seeming familiar with the place and not surprised, “These three pets are at the juvenile, elite, and commander stages, specifically bred by the restaurant. If you can defeat any of them in your own rank, your meal is free.”

“That good?” A hint of eagerness appeared on Zhang Qingqing’s face.

“You think it’s that simple?” Zhang Xuyang shook his head, “First, use an energy detector to measure the normal energy values of those three pets.”

“Let’s see,” Zhang Qingqing’s gaze fell on the juvenile stage Green Feathered Eagle among the three pets, and after scanning with her communicator, her face instantly showed astonishment, “Over five hundred Bo Wa?”

Was this the normal energy value that a low-level commander species juvenile stage pet could achieve?

Her own pet was also of a low-level commander species, but its normal energy was just a bit over four hundred.

A full one hundred more Bo Wa than her own pet…

The eagerness in Zhang Qingqing’s eyes vanished in an instant.

“This juvenile stage Green Feathered Eagle is already considered the easiest,” seeing his cousin disheartened, Zhang Xuyang chuckled, “That elite stage pet has already undergone one evolution, its species rank reaching that of a high-level commander, its energy value is comparable to a sovereign species of the same rank, and as for that commander stage pet…”

“It’s of a sovereign species,” Zhang Xuyang spread his hands, “And not only are their energy values high, their Talent Skills are highly proficient as well, they also possess many teaching abilities, making them very difficult to defeat, so don’t daydream about pie falling from the sky.”

“But with that said, are there really people who can win a free meal? Isn’t that just drawing a pie in the sky?” Zhang Qingqing pouted slightly discontented, “Cousin, have you tried?”

“I have actually,” Zhang Xuyang replied with a wry smile, “My pet once fought against that elite stage pet and was effortlessly defeated. But to say that no one could win, that’s not entirely true. At least as far as I know, there is one person, the most monstrous guy in our first year at school, he has done it.”

Thinking of that monstrously talented individual, his face suddenly dimmed.

Who isn’t a favored son of heaven to enter the top academy of Yan Huang?

Yet there is such a person, who hammers down all their peers.

It’s truly terrifying.

“Hey, cousin, someone has issued a challenge!” Seeing a youth walking over not far away, Zhang Qingqing suddenly spoke up, “His pet is Xue Henqing, and that Xue Henqing is so adorable~”

“Adorable it is, but Xue Henqing is just a high elite race,” Zhang Xuyang shook his head, waving a power detector indifferently, “The normal power value is three… what the hell is with this Xue Henqing’s normal power value?!”

The scanning results on the power detector clearly showed that the normal power value of the Xue Henqing had reached 399P.

This is the normal power value a juvenile elite race can achieve?

Zhang Xuyang opened his mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.

But soon he snapped out of his shock over the abnormal normal power value of that Xue Henqing, “Such a Xue Henqing must have required a lot of care and attention in its cultivation, but I’m still not optimistic about its chances against the Green Feathered Eagle.”

“Um…” Zhang Qingqing bit her lip, “I think he might have a chance?”

After all, that youth is really handsome!

[Sequence IAM-0073

Race Name: Green Feathered Eagle

Rank: Low Commander Race

Attribute: Wind

Growth Stage: Juvenile

Normal Power Value: 577P

Talent Skills: Feather Blade Continuous Slash (Core), Tear, Sharp Eye]

Looking at the scanning results from his communicator, Lin Su, who was initially somewhat tempted, shook his head, “Forget it Qiuqiu, let’s not challenge it.”

With a normal power value so high, Lin Su believed that the skill proficiency and teaching skills of this Green Feathered Eagle wouldn’t be lacking either.

This wasn’t a training arena battle where both sides would know each other’s skills, so there were too many uncertainties.

More importantly, although wind and ice don’t counter each other, at the Juvenile growth stage, a flying pet practically has a complete advantage over non-flying pets, so Qiuqiu’s chances of defeating the opponent are slim.

“Meow!” (I want to try!)

“You might get hurt,” Lin Su said softly, “This isn’t a Battle Arena, the fight isn’t going to be that safe.”

“Meow!” (Want to save Lin Su money!)

“This…” Lin Su was caught between laughter and tears, “It’s just the cost of a meal.”

“Meow! (ᓀωᓂ)” (I can do it!)

“You…” Seeing Qiuqiu persist, Lin Su hesitated for a moment, then stroked Qiuqiu’s head, “Alright then, let’s give it a try.”

Qiuqiu’s skill proficiency also far surpassed that of others at its level, and although the normal power value difference between the two pets was significant, it wasn’t necessarily without a chance to win.

A glint of combativeness ignited in Lin Su’s eyes.

If that’s the case, then let’s give it a try!
