Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Role of Bearing Points

Li Cunxu looked at his number of carrying points.

[Carrying points: 10]

"Ten points, twice as much as a normal person." Li Cunxu exclaimed with joy.

One person can gain up to five carrying points if they persist for ten minutes.

"I didn't endure all that time for nothing."

His clothes were damp and sticky, feeling very uncomfortable, so Li Cunxu went to the bathroom to take a shower and changed into a clean and comfortable set of clothes.

Seeing the golden sunlight streaming in through the window, Li Cunxu looked eastward, where the red sun had already risen, indicating it was going to be another sunny day.

"It's getting late, I was thinking of using God's Gift on the Water Slime, but I guess I'll do it after school."

Li Cunxu picked up the Water Slime that was sticking by his feet.

The Water Slime had a light blue color, its body was like jelly, soft and bouncy, and felt extremely satisfying to touch.

"Since you're so soft, I'll call you Xiaoruan."

"You're too fragile right now, not suitable to stay outside. I'll put you back into the Beast Taming Space."

The Slime's body was too delicate, Li Cunxu worried he might accidentally step on it and kill it.

Once Xiaoruan was returned to the Beast Taming Space, Li Cunxu noticed the interior of the space.

"My Beast Taming Space is also bigger than others'.

A normal person's Beast Taming Space is about five cubic meters, but Li Cunxu's was around ten cubic meters.

The larger the space, the bigger the activity space for the pet inside.

If the Beast Taming Space is too small, the pet might find it very stifling and might not want to enter it anymore.

Having contracted Xiaoruan and two other Slimes, Li Cunxu had no intention of discarding these two.

The Slime with the digestion talent could serve as a clean and eco-friendly garbage disposal; in the future, there would be no need to take out the trash, saving time and effort, and also reducing the burden on the city's garbage treatment facilities.

As for the Slime with the Spiritual Energy Spring talent, it could be sold at a high price to the doctor planning to build an infinite energy power plant.

A doctor noticed the otherwise unremarkable Slime and realized it could awaken the enviable purple talent of Spiritual Energy Spring. He had a whimsical idea to collect enough Slimes with the Spiritual Energy Spring talent and use its rapid spiritual energy recovery feature for electricity generation, hoping to create an infinite energy power plant that way.

Li Cunxu vaguely remembered that this doctor ultimately failed. The failure was not due to the Slimes but because his loose tongue angered an enemy, who attacked the power plant, causing all the collected Slimes to be wiped out.

Collecting Slimes had exhausted the doctor's funds, planning to achieve results before seeking further investment. However, with the Slimes all dead and no results to show, the investment naturally did not materialize, and his infinite energy power plant came to an untimely end.

Li Cunxu actually thought the doctor's idea was quite commendable.

On the bus, Li Cunxu searched for information on acquiring the Spiritual Energy Spring, but found nothing.

"Could it be that at this point in time, the doctor hasn't started building the infinite energy power plant yet?"

"Makes sense, it's still pre-launch at this time, so it's a bit early."

Li Cunxu's thoughts drifted, recalling something at the bottom of Hurricane Canyon.

Comet Shattered Jade.

A great item for mutually assured destruction.

It could unleash the power of a full-strength Overlord-level strike, enough to obliterate a ten-kilometer radius to ashes, leaving not a blade of grass behind.

Li Cunxu wondered whether to get his hands on the Comet Shattered Jade to deliver a severe blow to the mysterious person who forced him to bury his sister.

After some contemplation, Li Cunxu gave up on this unreliable idea.

Firstly, he didn't know the exact location of the Comet Shattered Jade, only that in a previous life, a member of the Azure Guild had unearthed it in a mine at the bottom of Hurricane Canyon.

Secondly, Hurricane Canyon was too dangerous for him; going there with his current strength would be suicidal, like a newbie who hasn't even left the level 10 starter village trying to venture onto a level 40 map.

Lastly, even if he found the Comet Shattered Jade by luck, it wouldn't be usable in Tongdu, which had large defensive formations restricting it; otherwise, Tongdu would have been destroyed long ago by someone carrying out a suicide attack with it.

When he arrived at the classroom, even after class started, he hadn't seen his desk-mate Chen Lu.

It seemed that she had already transferred schools.

Cao Xianzhi entered the classroom with a grim face, having lost his purple card drawn from the classroom, which naturally left him unhappy.

Cao Xianzhi looked at the list in his hand and said, "The students whose names I'm about to call will transfer to the breeder class."

"Xiang Feng, Chen Xu, Liu Yao, Li Cunxu..."

Li Cunxu raised his hand.

"Teacher, I don't want to be a breeder."

Cao Xianzhi: "This is Vice Principal Shi's decision; if you have any questions, you can go talk to him!"

Li Cunxu knocked on the door of the vice principal's office.

"Come in!"

Vice Principal Stone Golden Soup had a pair of upturned mustaches, and his eyes sparkled, giving Li Cunxu the impression of a sneaky villain.

How could the vice principal be a sneaky villain? I really have to break this habit of judging people by appearances.

Li Cunxu reflected on his bad habit.

Stone Golden Soup put away the pen in his hand and asked, "Who are you?"

"Li Cunxu."

Having no impression, Stone Golden Soup asked again, "Who is your homeroom teacher?"

"Cao Xianzhi."

Stone Golden Soup searched for Li Cunxu's dossier along with the homeroom teacher's name and saw the talent section filled in.

"Oh, it's you! What brings you here?"

"I don't want to be a breeder; I want to be a Beast Master. I don't want to transfer to the breeder class."

"A blue breeder talent, three contract slots, among which there's even a once-in-a-century flawed contract slot. You were born an ordinary person; your circumstances make you ill-suited to be a Beast Master. Being a breeder is your best outlet; even if you transfer to another school, you won't become a Beast Master."

"Is there really no way?"

Li Cunxu asked unwillingly, his obsession with becoming a Beast Master was stronger than average.

In his previous life's game, he only played the Beast Master path and never as a breeder; reborn, Li Cunxu wanted to follow the familiar path rather than explore a new and unfamiliar one.

The original character had the same obsession with being a Beast Master, yearning to become stronger to uncover the truth behind his parents' death.

"No, but don't be discouraged; the school is willing to lend you a pasture to display your talent." Stone Golden Soup comforted.

Li Cunxu's eyes lit up. Borrowing a pasture, even though Chen Xi had already given him one, for his Fertile Pasture talent, the more the merrier.

"How will the pasture's revenue be distributed?"

Stone Golden Soup frowned, somewhat displeased, and righteously said, "What distribution of revenue? Student, don't be too materialistic; having a pasture to train your talent is not easy to come by; others aren't even given such a chance."

Fertile Pasture requires training? It's a passive talent; it doesn't matter if it's trained or not.

Do they take me for a talent newbie?
