Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 11 Threat
Zhang Dashan's gaze fell on Ye Bai. He looked at Ye Bai for a long time, and a satisfied smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "You are Ye Bai. You did a good deed yesterday."

"Li Weiyang sent word that she voluntarily gave up her chance to be selected by Shenshan Middle School and is giving this opportunity to you instead."

"Would you be willing to accept?"

Zhang Dashan asked the question as a formality.

Is there such a good thing?
Ye Bai raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Although Li Weiyang will not lack resources after entering the Supreme Academy, the resources of Shenshan Middle School are still considerable. The supplies in the resource box can at least increase the strength of the pet, and at least raise the pet level by several levels.

Whether or not you can break through to the second tier depends on how much resources are available inside.

Ye Bai was surprised that Li Weiyang gave up so easily, which made him admire her courage and determination.

It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal; why not take something that's offered to you for free?

Ye Bai immediately nodded, indicating that he agreed.

"So Ye Bai, you can choose two resource boxes this time."

Upon hearing this news, the students were shocked, and discussions immediately broke out on the playground.

"Ye Bai is too lucky. He just saved Li Weiyang and he got a resource box as a gift."

"That's right. Although the resource boxes at Shenshan Middle School are like blind boxes, the resources inside are not bad. This is equivalent to Ye Bai getting two sets of resources. I'm really envious."

"Sigh, I should have gone to save Li Weiyang back then. I could have blocked a bullet with my bare hands and shown off."

"It's said that the bullet was very weak, and Ye Bai's Hundred Transformations Silkworm could easily block it without even breaking his skin."

Many students were unaware that Ye Bai had taken a tremendous risk back then; they all thought it was just an ordinary act of blocking bullets.

The crucial point is that the ever-changing silkworm blocked the bullet without breaking the skin, which only deepened their misunderstanding.

Their gazes toward Ye Bai were filled with jealousy and envy.

Those classmates who rushed away back then are probably kicking themselves now.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of some students, and they looked at Ye Bai as if he were a big piece of fat meat. They secretly sent out a message.

"Please state your choice," Principal Zhang asked kindly. He had investigated Ye Bai's resume; he had been ranked first in the entire school for both years of high school.

However, the awakened talent is rather ordinary, being a D-level talent called "Photographic Memory".

But it doesn't matter. With two resource boxes, Ye Bai's strength should improve rapidly in a short time.

"Then let's make it thirty-eight or thirty-nine."

Ye Bai gave his answer.

Zhang Dashan chuckled, and the flames on the resource boxes designated by Ye Bai dissipated, causing the resource boxes to slowly fall to the ground from the air.

The boxes were one meter long, wide, and high. Ye Bai waved his hand and placed the two boxes into the pet space.

He could sense a surge of life energy emanating from one of the boxes, which should be the life seed mentioned in the intelligence, while the other box contained an aura of thunder.

Ye Bai smiled; this was an unexpected bonus.

"Wow, Ye Bai is quite the hidden talent. His awakened pet space is quite large. I feel like my pet space can barely fit a resource box."

"I heard his awakened talent is quite ordinary, destined to be a research-oriented talent. Why would he need such a large pet space?" said a classmate who couldn't have it and was just being sour.

"Oh, I'm so envious."

Ye Bai never expected that his actions would cause such a stir among his classmates.

After all the students had received their resources, Zhang Dashan nodded to Principal Liu Hang.

The wind was a bit strong on the playground. Liu Hang covered his hair, afraid that the wig on his head would be blown away by the wind, and he would become a big joke of Shenshan Middle School.

"Thank you, Principal Zhang, for distributing the resources to everyone."

"Thanks to the students for their hard work all along, our Shenshan Middle School will become better and better."

"During this time, everyone should familiarize themselves with their pets. The Phoenix Chick Cup and Young Scale Cup will begin soon."

"Students are encouraged to sign up."

The Phoenix Chick Cup and Young Scale Cup are similar to the Olympic Games in the real world. Only senior high school students can register, and each person can only register once in their lifetime. There is a strict review process.

These competitions are divided into city-level, provincial-level, and national-level competitions. Schools also need to conduct preliminary selections before they can enter the city-level competition.

The Phoenix Chick Cup is a combat-based competition, while the Young Scale Cup is a pet research competition, somewhat similar to a pet knowledge contest, and of course, it also includes a practical component.

Ye Bai's original goal was the Young Scale Cup. As long as he could win third prize or above in the Young Scale Cup National Tournament, he would definitely be admitted to a top-tier university in the Yan Kingdom Alliance.

The National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) mainly tests written and practical skills.

In practice, it is mainly achieved through talent testing and real-world application.

Ye Bai's talent is not an advantage, and he cannot expose his Eye of Insight and intelligence system, otherwise he will definitely be targeted.

However, with this intelligence system, Ye Bai decided to register for both competitions.

This is the only way to maximize profits.

After the students had all left, He Qingyuan came looking for them.

"Teacher, I want to have a bet with Ye Bai."

"If I lose, I'll give my resource box and insect stone to Ye Bai."

"If Ye Bai loses, he must give up his seat at the same table as Li Weiyang and give me his resource box."

He Qingyuan was clearly eyeing Ye Bai's resource box, since resources are king.

Upon hearing He Qingyuan's proposed terms for the duel, Ye Bai smiled coldly: "Do you think I'm stupid? Why would I agree to your request?"

Ye Bai mouthed the word "escape" silently, and He Qingyuan's face turned ashen. This was a disgrace that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

"Ye Bai, you'll agree to a bet with me. Look at this."

He Qingyuan took out a slip of paper and handed it to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai opened his eyes and his pupils widened in shock.

[Rectification Notice]

Fangyuan Pet Shop is involved in illegally collecting pets.

[Following a notice from the street management office, Fangyuan Pet Shop will be closed for rectification for one month.]

All the pets at Fangyuan Pet Shop will be temporarily stored at the street management office's shelter for one month.

"Ye Bai."

He Qingyuan quietly moved closer.

"You said if something happens to your pet in the adoption center, there's nothing that can be done about it, right?"

Ye Bai felt an unnamed anger welling up inside him.

A hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

This was the first time in a long time that he had been threatened.

His fingertips trembled slightly.

"Haha, Ye Bai, you're angry. That's your weakness."

"Don't think I'm despicable or shameless, it's just that you taking two resource boxes by yourself is a bit too conspicuous, you know?"

"Even if I don't make a move, someone else will."

"You can only blame yourself for not having good parents who can protect and support you."

At this moment, He Qingyuan was in a very good mood, and the depression in his heart was swept away.

Will you accept my challenge?

He Qingyuan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, looking like a refined scoundrel, and looked at Ye Bai with a mocking gaze.

After learning that Ye Bai had received two resource boxes, his family immediately set their sights on them and pulled some strings to use underhanded tactics.

However, this only applies to underhanded tactics. If they openly captured Ye Bai's pet to threaten him, and the Pet Guild found out, they would be in deep trouble. After all, the laws of the Yan Kingdom Alliance are not to be trifled with.
