My Card Beast Taming Game

However, the interviewers don't just target scions of wealthy families; they also ask ordinary card players some rather "sharp" questions.

For example, asking Mei Xian how long she had known Zhou Chen, and what her relationship was like with Lu Qingning and the others.

"And then what?"

"In the end, Xiaomei got the same second-tier spot as me, and she lived in the apartment next to mine!"

Han Baobao answered Zhou Chen's question with a smile.

Mei Xian's diligence and pragmatism are admirable, especially her willingness to enter the Secret Realm Academy. The Secret Realm Academy is notoriously tough, tiring, and dangerous, and only slightly more card masters are willing to choose it than those at the Array Domain Academy.

For this reason, even though Mei Xian did not argue her case, the interviewer still gave her an extra reward of 200 credits per year, 100 hours of quiet study, and 50 hours of advanced card master tutoring.

If Mei Xian hadn't failed to make the top twenty in total score, she might have even had the chance to receive the highest level of treatment.

"I'm already very satisfied."

She has a contented personality and recognized the gap between herself and others very early on.

In general, everyone Zhou Chen knew successfully entered Shen Du Academy.

This year, the number of places for general enrollment is 600, leaving more than a thousand junior card masters who will miss out on the Divine Capital Academy and have to leave disappointed.

Elsewhere, they would be considered the pride of heaven, but now they can only become silent background figures.

That's the cruelty of fate.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

Lu Qingning and the others spent the whole day at Zhou Chen's place, sometimes chatting, sometimes meditating, and sometimes practicing in an open area.

The group fully experienced the basic treatment of new disciples of the Wanfa Sect.

Especially Lu Qingning, although she has eaten and seen a lot, there are some things she can't bring into the Divine Capital Academy, so she can only rely on her own hard work.

During their rest, they ate fruits from the secret realm while watching the strongmen build a kitchen in a corner.

"Using a gold-tier spirit card to build a house, such a luxurious thing is probably only something that the Divine Capital Academy could do."

Han Baobao couldn't help but complain.

Although her family owns a spirit card store, they can't achieve this level of success.

The Chow Chow with a unicorn said, "This is nothing! Wait until the school team sets off in a while, there will be even more exciting things to see!"

"I've seen it! The Divine Capital School Bus—Xuanyun Ferry Whale!"

Han Baobao raised her hand very enthusiastically.

Every year when the Shen Du Academy teams set off, as long as the competition is within the territory of Zhu Xia, they will not take a plane, but will use the Platinum-level spirit beast Xuan Yun Du Jing as their means of transportation.

The grand spectacle often attracted a large number of visitors, and it once became a source of faith for the people of the capital.

Upon hearing this, Mei Xian also showed some longing on her face.

How could she not want to be one of those riding on the back of the Xuan Yun Ferry Whale? Although she had joined the Secret Realm Academy, she had not given up on striving to join the school team.

Whether it's wanting to continue standing by Lu Qingning and Han Baobao's side and not wanting to be separated from these two good friends, or considering the future, they should still fight for the school team.

The Secret Realm Academy is for making money, but the Arena Academy is where she can realize her ambitions!

Mei Xian subconsciously looked at Lu Qingning and found that her best friend was playfully fighting with Zhou Chen, punching the latter repeatedly. It looked like she was putting a lot of effort into it, but it was not hard to tell that she was actually not using any strength at all.

"..."

Will these two start talking?

Mei Xian had actually been listening to the gossip that Han Baobao shared with her, but in Mei Xian's opinion, Lu Qingning definitely valued her personal growth more than romantic relationships.

Before meeting Lu Qingning, she had never seen such an ambitious female card master who was constantly striving to grow and whose goal was to reach the top.

More than human warmth, what Mei Xian saw in Lu Qingning was a desire to become the strongest.

To a large extent, her diligence was inspired by the other person's behavior.

Whenever she felt tired, she would think that even someone with such a good family background like Lu Qingning was working hard, so what reason did she have to be lazy?

This has become her reason for persisting.

Therefore, seeing the two of them bickering, Mei Xian felt somewhat worried.

During the time she argued with Lu Qingning, she saw many people who neglected their personal growth because of their relationships.

In her view, this was a form of depravity.

But Mei Xian didn't know how to persuade her, what if she misunderstood?

In the vast Xiangyu Hall, a man and a dog chatted enthusiastically, a man and a woman laughed and joked, while a lone figure sat in the center, his face full of sorrow.

Sunset.

The three women departed in a heavenly chariot.

Although the interior of Xiangyu Hall was spacious enough for four people to live comfortably, there was still a distinction between men and women.

Are you afraid to live alone?

The one-horned Chow Chow, sticking out its tongue, said, "Want me to stay with you for the night?"

Zhou Chen shook his head decisively, "I have a spirit card, I don't need you to accompany me."

"Ok."

The unicorn chow chow left with a hint of regret. It had originally planned to spend the night at Xiangyu Palace and "spend the night together" with Zhou Chen.

I never expected him to be so heartless.

After the unicorn chow chow left, Zhou Chen looked at the dimly lit hall and felt a strange sense of desolation.

It's too spacious.

It was bigger and emptier than anywhere else he had ever lived...

Fortunately, I had Brother Chicken and the others with me.

Zhou Chen swiftly summoned the Long-Crying Captain and the Cloud Mist Witch, their radiance and mist intertwined, revealing the forms of a majestic rooster and a spirit cat.

"Hey!"

"Meow?"

"That's right, it's the new home."

He said with a smile.

Not far away, the Black-feathered White Ape lay on its side on a bamboo couch, waving to the Long-cresting Captain and the Spirit Cat.

It can appear without restraint, and therefore it was summoned long ago.

That evening, Zhou Chen tried entering the dungeon within the Wanfa Sect to grind monsters. After confirming that there were no problems by quickly entering and exiting, he confidently began leveling up.

As if to celebrate his housewarming, a loot drop in the dungeon.

Chapter 154: First Meeting with Elder Bai (26/106)

【Name: Evil Tiger Talisman (Spiritual Object)】

[Basic Effect: Increases health, attack, and defense]

[Special Effect: The larger the character's body size, the greater their vitality.]

[Additional Passive Skill: Devour]

[Devouring to a Tiger's Lackey restores lost health, slightly increases all attributes, and increases body size.]

"Specialized weaponry..."

Zhou Chen's expression was slightly strange.

It took him more than a month to get the White Ape's exclusive weapon, but the Black Tiger Demon's exclusive weapon was obtained so easily.

Keep in mind that he hasn't even gotten the main body yet!

Zhou Chen fell into deep thought, then turned to look at the Spirit Cards, including Captain Changming, and asked, "Should we use the Silver Selection Box?"

"Huh?"

Captain Changming tilted his head, while the other two simply didn't respond.

They couldn't offer Zhou Chen any advice at all.

He decided to put it aside for the time being, "Anyway, there's no chance to use any cards other than White Ape right now, let's talk about it later."

Maybe the main body will just drop like the exclusive weapon?

Although you'll rarely need the silver self-service box, you might regret it if it ever comes in handy someday.

Zhou Chen returned at four o'clock and slept until seven o'clock before being woken up by the unicorn crow outside the courtyard wall in the far distance.

"Are you awake? I'll come in as soon as you're awake~ Are you still sleepy? Zhou Chen~"

"Oh oh oh-"

Unable to bear the disturbance any longer, the Long-Cry Captain let out a loud cry.

Zhou Chen opened his eyes instantly, "Brother Chicken!"

"Huh?"

Captain Changming wondered why he was so panicked, and then he heard the order to take it and the Cloud Mist Witch to the third floor.

The Xiangyu Hall has three floors. The first floor is like a living room, the second floor is a bedroom, and the third floor is an attic that can be used to store miscellaneous items.

Although Captain Changming couldn't understand Zhou Chen's emotions, he still carried the lazy Cloud Mist Witch to the third floor.

Zhou Chen ran to the courtyard wall and opened the side gate for the one-horned Chow Chow. "Good morning."

Good morning! Are you settling in alright? Why is there a rooster crowing here?

The unicorn lion gazed at the Auspicious Rain Palace and asked curiously, "This fluctuation... Gold rank? No, it seems so weak. Is it a bird spirit card you raised?"

It bombarded Zhou Chen with questions, making him tremble with fear.

Fortunately, just as he had expected, the Changming Captain and his companions were difficult to detect at first glance, as long as they concealed their auras.

Having achieved most of his audacious test objective, Zhou Chen dared not let him delve any further, and said expressionlessly with his head down, "So what if it is?"

"...Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."

The Chow Chow keenly sensed the displeasure of the boy in front of it. Completely disregarding its status as a Platinum-level spirit card, it promptly slid down and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know anything, okay?"

Although it's unclear why Zhou Chen hid those two spirit cards, everyone has things they don't want others to know.

Therefore, it did not have the intention to overstep boundaries in order to satisfy its curiosity.

Zhou Chen's expression softened slightly, and he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The one-horned Chow Chow is indeed a very conscious of boundaries, otherwise I wouldn't have been calling him from outside so early in the morning, only opening the door after he woke up.

A mere three or four-meter-high courtyard wall—it wouldn't be easy for a one-horned Chow Chow to climb over it.

"Have you had breakfast? If not, I'll take you there."

When the unicorn crow said it wouldn't pay attention, it really didn't even glance at Xiangyu Palace. It circled Zhou Chen twice and walked outside. "Although school didn't start today, you can get in touch with the Dao of Array Domains in advance. Take advantage of the fact that Elder Bai hasn't gone into seclusion to break through yet and learn more from him."

The official start of the semester at Shen Du Academy is the 5th, and today is only the 3rd.

Zhou Chen followed behind it and asked, "Should we learn directly from Elder Bai?"

“That’s right. You’re his disciple. If you don’t learn from him, who will you learn from? Fatian? After Elder Bai goes into seclusion, you can learn from her later.”

The one-horned Chow Chow wiggled its rear and quickly led him to a grand hall where smoke was rising from the chimneys.

The place was bustling with activity, as many people brought their various pets to enjoy the food. When they saw him and the one-horned Chow Chow, they politely nodded in greeting.

Zhou Chen responded to each question and found an empty seat with the Chow Chow.

"Scan the QR code to order."

The one-horned Chow Chow shook its head, and a cell phone fell out from under its neck.

Its nimble paws unlocked the screen, and after scanning the code, it said, "This meal is on you. Order whatever you want."

"Row."

Zhou Chen didn't stand on ceremony with the Chow Chow.
