Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 113 Nobody Can Escape It

However, the situation outside did not affect Lin Manman's frantic head-banging with her two pets.

While the tall, thin man was contemplating whether to run away, Lin Manman had already knocked out all forty people in the first round.

With Lin Manman's buff, the Honey Badger can break through the enemy's defenses in one wave of attacks.

Despite the bravery of Honey Badger and Rainbow Jade, the older students who had gathered to watch and try to take advantage of the situation perhaps felt humiliated. Not only did no one back down, but some even clamored to continue as soon as the first round ended.

This was Lin Manman's first serious battle after leveling up, and the effect of her third talent combined with her spirit pet was unexpectedly good.

After the round ended, both Honey Badger and Rainbow Jade were still somewhat unsatisfied.

Lin Manman raised her hand to block the honey badger and the other person who was about to rush up to challenge her. It was one thing to not have a good fight, but it was another thing to delay collecting money.

"100,000 Chinese Yuan per person, who should start the payment?" She smiled and opened the payment code on her bracelet, asking the challenger who had just been revived after being knocked unconscious by her.

The person she asked was clearly taken aback, and he looked blankly at his companions.

Those who knew the situation dejectedly took out their bracelets and scanned 100,000 Chinese yuan for Lin Manman.

At this point, some of the people who had been tricked realized what was happening and began to cheat.

"We've never heard of having to pay money if you lose, especially 100,000 Chinese yuan. Are you crazy? Who would have come if you'd said so earlier?!"

"Yeah, I'm just a pastor who was called in to help. I'm not here for your 500,000, so you can't count us, right?"

Some, sensing the danger, even began sneaking behind others, attempting to escape.

Seeing this, Lin Manman understood everything. She frowned as she searched for the tall, thin boy in the crowd, and loudly asked Li Dongwu.

"Senior Li Dongwu, this is not what we agreed on! I said that if I fought against the senior students in the third grade, each of them would take away 500,000 Chinese yuan if they won, and only give me 100,000 Chinese yuan if they lost."

"Forty senior students from the second level can team up to challenge me. As long as they can stand up when they beat me, each of them will receive 500,000 Chinese Yuan. If they lose, they only need to give me 100,000 Chinese Yuan."

"How come the upperclassmen who lost are already cheating in the first round?"

Li Dongwu's expression was also very ugly. Lin Manman and the tall, thin boy were not familiar with each other, but they could guess that he was the one who did it. How could he, who had some acquaintance with the other party, not understand the situation?

He only glanced briefly at the senior students in the training hall and knew that this kid must have run away in fright when he saw a teacher coming.

This bastard ran away, but he, the one who stepped forward and made the decision with Lin Manman, couldn't easily clear himself of any wrongdoing.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, whatever your purpose in participating in this bet, you are all responsible for being incited to participate without understanding the situation."

"My junior just explained the details of the bet to everyone. If you can't give me 100,000 RMB on the spot, you can at least write me an IOU, right?"

Some quick-witted people immediately realized that Li Dongwu was also helping them find ways to procrastinate.

After he said that, some people who had already taken out their bracelets to pay Lin Manman secretly pulled them back.

"A bet is a bet, and debts must be repaid. Since you lost the bet, you must fulfill your promise. It doesn't matter if you don't have enough Chinese currency; the professional training resources that the school distributes every month can be used to offset the cost to Lin."

Just as Lin Manman was considering grabbing Li Dongwu and giving him a good beating, Lin Minsheng slowly walked in through the door of the indoor training hall.

The teachers who had originally intended to step forward and seek justice for Lin Manman all quickly returned to their seats upon seeing him arrive.

"I knew it! The disciples they've taken a liking to are definitely more anxious than us. What do they expect us to do?"

"If that's the case, then who was the fastest just now?"

"Haha, alright, that's enough. Let's watch these little brats get their comeuppance today!"

Several teachers hid in a corner of the rest area to continue watching the commotion.

The school is aware that every year there are some troublemakers who cause trouble for freshmen, but in order to give those students who have just become professionals and do not yet have a proper understanding of what it means to be a professional, they need to give them their first lesson in their professional careers.

This made these complacent newcomers realize that becoming a professional means constant fighting and competition, and that without diligent training, they would only be oppressed—a cruel reality—so they chose to acquiesce to this tradition.

However, over the years, it has been the norm for freshmen to be bullied by upperclassmen, with only one or two genius freshmen occasionally managing to give the upperclassmen a hard time. There has never been a situation where a freshman challenged so many upperclassmen.

After all these years, Lin Manman is only the sixth Level 3 freshman and the first Level 3 Beast Tamer!

It's important to know that Level 3 is basically enough to get into many ordinary vocational schools. Even within Jinling Affiliated High School, only a small number of students with exceptional talent can reach Level 3 before their senior year.

If Lin Manman were to turn the tables and teach these senior students a lesson today, it would be quite a source of amusement for these teachers.

These kids who managed to reach Level 3 before their senior year are usually arrogant and self-important. If they fail in front of so many freshmen today, they'll probably have to live a very humble life for the next year.

When Li Dongwu saw Lin Minsheng arrive, he breathed a sigh of relief. This matter had escalated, and he knew it wasn't something he could handle alone.

Now that Lin Minsheng has arrived, no one can blame him for whatever the outcome may be.

Those who have already lost the bet, naturally, have the opposite mindset.

Those who knew the situation and decided to participate themselves were fortunate. After all, they had mentally prepared themselves and felt there were no loopholes to exploit, so they obediently paid their money and retreated to the back of the group with sighs.

Those who had been fooled by the tall, thin boy with half-true and half-false information began to complain to Lin Minsheng with long faces.

After understanding what had happened, Lin Minsheng glanced at Lin Manman again.

"While it's understandable that you were deceived, the fact that you didn't understand the situation and were swayed by others for a little gain shows that you yourselves were not careful enough."

"Consider this a lesson learned; never trust others too easily again, not even classmates."

"If anyone doesn't have enough money to pay at once, there are teachers over there who will register you by grade and class. When the professional cultivation resources are distributed next month, two months' worth of resources will be deducted from your compensation and given to Lin."

Upon hearing this, the older students didn't even have time to wipe away their tears before hurriedly taking out their wristbands to pay the bill.

The professional cultivation resources that Lin Minsheng mentioned are the basic cultivation resources that the Chinese government provides free of charge to all professional high schools.

For example, there's the Blood Qi Pill to help warriors increase their health and vitality, the Mind Concentration Pill to help mages and priests increase their mental strength, and the Soul Nourishing Pill to help beast tamers increase their soul power.

Although they are all very basic cultivation resources, the amount needed for these two months would cost far more than 100,000 Chinese Yuan if purchased outside!
