Gu Lingdian enters the picture —

6th-10th place: 1 yuan prize + free learning of a skill worth 5 yuan

When Gu Ling saw that the first place winner would receive a "prize of 15 yuan", his eyes lit up immediately.

First place, right?

Sword and Fairy 9! Give me extra training!

The group chat messages kept updating—

Long Yifei: Last year, the highest price for the placement exam was only 50,000 yuan, how come it's 150,000 yuan this year? And they even offer two free skills worth 100,000 yuan? Is No. 1 High School really that willing to spend so much?

Lu Jiuwen: Rumor has it that the annual Hailan City Senior High School Friendship Tournament, which is usually attended by second-year high school students, has been moved to the first semester this year. That might be the reason.

Long Yifei: If I remember correctly, the best record of No. 1 Middle School in friendly matches in recent years is reaching the top 16 in the individual competition and the top 8 in the team competition.

Dai Hao: If it weren't for the rule that each school could only send one team in the team competition, No. 1 Middle School probably wouldn't have even made it into the top 8 in the team competition. No wonder No. 1 Middle School was so generous this time.

Within Nanping County, Nanping No. 1 High School is the best key high school, but in the entire Hailan City, it can only barely rank in the top eight. The friendly match is not just a competition; in addition to the various resources that reward the players, it is also related to the subsequent allocation of teaching resources for senior high schools in Hailan City.

After reading the three people's chat history, Gu Ling understood the purpose of No. 1 Middle School's actions.

This year, Nanping No.1 High School plans to allocate some resources to cultivate its second-year high school students, hoping that they can perform well in the upcoming friendly matches and set new records.

Gu Ling clenched her fist secretly.

Then we need to push Xianjiu even harder!

As long as you perform well in the placement exam, you don't need to worry about the school not providing resources.

Gu Ling took out her notebook and started writing and drawing, creating a summer training schedule for Xianjiu.

Starting at 7 a.m., the training hall will have 3 hours of running on the wheel machine and 3 hours of running on the voltage machine.

Starting at 2 PM, the training hall will hold 3 hours of obstacle avoidance training and 3 hours of random combat training.

Starting at 9 PM, we watch the game for 1 hour and then train with the teething stick for 1 hour.

I meditate for 7 hours starting at 11 p.m.

Throughout the day, Gu Ling still gave Xian Jiu three hours for meals and entertainment.

After finalizing the training schedule, Gu Ling looked at Xian Jiu, who remained completely oblivious inside the voltage generator, and pondered to herself, "I have the training plan, but how do I get Xian Jiu to follow it obediently?"

Even with just one night of meditation, Xianjiu could slack off.

Although Xianjiu seems to be working hard and diligently now, what if it's just a passing fad?

If we don't find a way to truly make Xianjiu self-disciplined and motivated, even the best plan will be useless.

After training inside the voltage machine for two hours, Xianjiu raised its paw and pressed the horn inside.

Seeing this, Gu Ling turned off the voltage generator and released Xian Jiu.

"Meow~"

As soon as Xian Jiu came out, she jumped into Gu Ling's arms and started rubbing against his neck, meowing incessantly.

I've worked so hard, can I have an extra cat treat today?

Gu Ling originally stipulated that Xian Jiu should eat three cat treats a day, but after tricking Xian Jiu into learning a superpower skill, she added another one, making it four cat treats in total.

But the greedy Xian Jiu still wanted to beg for just a tiny bit more.

Upon hearing this, a sudden inspiration struck Gu Ling.

How about... we try this trick?

Gu Ling carried Xian Jiu out of the voltage room: "It's time for lunch now. If you do well this afternoon, I'll give you an extra cat treat tonight."

Xianjiu's cat-like eyes lit up: "Meow~" Really? Really? Really?

"Really, when have I ever lied to you?" Gu Ling asked without changing her expression.

Xian Jiu tilted her head and thought for a moment.

The beast tamer helped it improve its strength, gave it dried fish, bought it a hat... It seems that he really didn't lie to it, and he would do what he promised it.

Gu Ling took Xian Jiu away from the Starry Sky Training Hall and went home for lunch.

During her break after dinner, Gu Ling went online to search for "Rayon Cat's favorite canned food" and "Rayon Cat's least favorite canned food". After carefully selecting from a bunch of reviews, she spent 5500 yuan and reluctantly placed an order.

At 2 PM, the person and pet returned to the Starry Sky Training Center to begin the third training session.

Obstacle avoidance.

The floor, walls, and ceiling of the obstacle avoidance room have been modified. Once the obstacle avoidance switch in the room is activated, obstacle props will randomly appear on the floor, walls, and ceiling, and the pets participating in the training will need to use their skills to avoid them.

Gu Ling chose this training because he wanted to train Xian Jiu's Lightning Flash and Shadow Clone techniques.

"Xian Jiu, when using Lightning Flash, make sure that neither your main body nor your shadow clone gets hit by obstacles."

If a shadow clone is hit, it will disappear.

Xian Jiu nodded: "Meow!"

Gu Ling selected the lowest difficulty obstacle to dodge for Xian Jiu and tried it for 10 minutes first.

During her first obstacle avoidance training session, Xian Jiu was a bit flustered and kept getting hit by the obstacle props.

The obstacles have been modified so that they won't cause much damage to the pets; at most, they'll just get a few bumps and scrapes and look a little disheveled.

After 10 minutes, Xian Jiu collapsed on the floor, exhausted. Maintaining speed and splitting into multiple clones while also having to avoid obstacles was much more difficult than simply running on a wheel machine.

Gu Ling walked over and carried Xian Jiu to a safe area to rest. She took out a small water bottle from her backpack and gave Xian Jiu some water.

"Meow~" Xian Jiu sat on the chair, her four little paws holding the small water bottle, drinking water with gulping sounds.

Looking at the training records in the notebook, Gu Ling realized that Xian Jiu had been hit quite a few times.

—During the first dodge training session, I was hit 246 times.

After a 10-minute break, Xianjiu went back to training.

Gu Ling prompted, "Xian Jiu, there will always be a slight noise before the obstacle appears. Pay attention to this."

"Meow~" Xian Jiu responded.

This time, following Gu Ling's advice, Xian Jiu tried her best to calm down and observe her surroundings.

When an obstacle is about to appear, the location where it will appear will produce a slight tremor and sound.

"Thump~"

With her two cat ears perked up, Xianjiu jumped away from her spot as soon as she heard a noise at her feet, avoiding the obstacle that protruded from the floor.

"Meow~"

After successfully dodging several obstacles, Xianjiu became increasingly excited and happy, and gradually figured out some tricks to avoid them.

10 minute later.

—During the second evasion training session, I was hit 180 times.

Seeing the obvious improvement in his record, Gu Ling praised Xian Jiu: "Xian Jiu, you did a great job this time, keep up the good work."

"Meow~" After being praised, Xianjiu's cat tail perked up happily again.

After the break, Xian Jiu excitedly ran off to train again.

"..."

Two hours later, the obstacle avoidance training ended.

—Best record in evasion training: 75 times hit.
