59: Chapter 59 The Magical Pet That Was Kicked Out of Its Home

City Lord Lu Feng cleared his throat, and his deep, resonant voice echoed throughout the entire Demon City.

"Everyone!"

"Today, the College Entrance Exam has come to a successful conclusion!"

"My son, Lu Yuan, has refreshed the historical record of the Xia Kingdom's College Entrance Exam with a score of 109,000!"

"As Lu Yuan's father, I announce that all hotels in the city will host an open banquet!"

"For ten days and ten nights!"

"Anyone can feast on precious treasures to their heart's content!"

As his voice faded, the entire Demon City fell into a momentary silence.

Then, it erupted into an uproar!

"Holy crap! An open banquet for the whole city?!"

"Ten days and ten nights?! Precious treasures? Unlimited feasting?!"

"Is this something a human would even think of?"

"That's too crazy."

"Young Master Lu is awesome! City Lord Lu is awesome!"

"This is blatant showing off of wealth!"

"If it were me, I'd show off too!"

A middle-aged man patted the shoulder of a teenager beside him, looking emotional.

"If my son could get a score like Lu Yuan's, never mind ten days and ten nights, what would it matter if it were a hundred days?"

The teenager didn't even look up, muttering, "Heh, if my dad were City Lord Lu Feng, would I even need to take the College Entrance Exam?"

...

At Lu Family Manor.

A huge dining table was filled with all kinds of precious treasures, emitting rich fluctuations of life energy.

But what drew the most attention was right in the center of the table.

Inside a palm-sized crystal bottle, a drop of crimson liquid was suspended.

It was seventh-rank Flood Dragon blood!!

Just by smelling it, one could faintly feel their body's attributes improving.

The Slime lay on the edge of the dining table, its beady eyes staring fixedly at that drop of dragon blood.

Its drool had already formed a small river.

"Master…"

"Can we eat it now?"

The Little Skeleton also cast a look of anticipation.

Lu Yuan was already lying on the sofa. "Eat up."

As soon as the words left his mouth, two figures rushed forward.

Time to feast!!

[Slime consumes sixth-rank Life Spirit Fruit, HP +280]

[Skeleton Soldier consumes fifth-rank Ghost Eye, HP +180]

[...]

The system's notification sounds kept ringing in Lu Yuan's mind.

He lay on the sofa with his legs crossed, playing on his phone while watching his two Magic Pets wolf down their food.

A happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The feeling of being able to get stronger just by lying down without having to do anything yourself was simply too amazing!!!

Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from outside the door.

City Lord Lu Feng strode over to Lu Yuan and patted his shoulder heavily.

"Good lad!"

"You're worthy of being my son, City Lord Lu Feng!"

"You've made me so proud!"

Then, he took out a set of equipment from his spatial storage that was entirely light pink.

It was exquisitely crafted and flawless.

[Diamond-grade Set — Flowing Light Star Meteor]

One of the top-tier luxury beginner sets.

Although its grade was far inferior to the protector set.

But the Flowing Light Star Meteor set effect was +30% skill cooldown and +10% movement speed!

Plus, it had a bonus to Light attribute damage!

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

This was definitely good stuff.

"But why is it pink?"

City Lord Lu Feng laughed heartily, his laughter full of smugness.

"Of course, I won it from that old geezer, Commander Xu Tianjiao!"

"This was the set he prepared for his own daughter!"

"You should have seen the look on his face back then, hahaha, it killed me!"

Lu Yuan shrugged.

"Fine then."

Although it was pink equipment, he wasn't going to wear it. He'd just let the next Magic Pet wear it.

"There's something even better."

City Lord Lu Feng stopped laughing and took a document from his pocket.

It was a contract.

He opened the first page.

A few lines of gold-stamped characters caught his eye.

[Star Academy SSS-grade Special Admission Quota]

[Recipient: Lu Yuan]

Following that was a series of benefit clauses.

[Privilege 1: Receive one portion of SSS-grade cultivation resources every month (including but not limited to sixth-rank or higher precious treasures, epic-grade or higher equipment materials, and rare skill scrolls)]

[Privilege 2: Priority to challenge all dungeons, unrestricted by level]

[Privilege 3: Free choice of various inheritances]

[Privilege 4: Permanent free use of all college public facilities]

[Privilege 5: Can apply for private dungeon access once a year]

[...]

Not a single word mentioned money, but everything was top-tier resources that couldn't be bought with money.

In the dining room, everyone was stunned.

Bai Zhi: ???

"Wait, is Star Academy always like this?"

"These benefits are too exaggerated!"

Celia's pupils dilated in shock.

"How is that possible!"

She was also an SS-grade special admission student at Star Academy.

But she had nothing like this treatment.

A one-word difference, yet a world of difference!!

Everyone was surprised.

Except for Lu Yuan.

He leaned back on the sofa, his expression remaining calm.

For him, the actual significance of these things was close to zero.

With his parents and grandfather around, the amount of resources didn't matter.

However, if it's free, why not take it.

Lu Yuan turned his attention to the two Magic Pets.

The precious treasures on the table had been swept clean.

With a flicker of his thought, he opened the Magic Pet attribute panel.

[Slime (Dragon Blood Variant)]

[Race Grade: Gold High-Rank]

[Level: LV.18]

[HP: 60011 / 60011]

[MP: 180 / 180]

[Attack: 103]

...

Sixty thousand HP.

Plus a set of healing skills, and [Dive Bombing] [Jester Academy].

I can only say, it's truly invincible.

[Skeleton Soldier (Demon Variant)]

[Race Grade: Gold High-Rank]

[Level: LV.13]

[HP: 32914 / 32914]

[MP: 100 / 100]

[Attack: 155]

[Hextech Rune: Heartsteel (10432), Tank Engine (1 stack)]

In this College Entrance Exam dungeon, although the Slime had a great time and stole all the spotlight.

The one with the biggest harvest was the Little Skeleton, who had been hiding in the back the whole time.

[Heartsteel] had stacked several thousand layers.

Its HP directly broke through 30,000.

Its height was also about to break through two meters!

It seems like the Slime is stronger now, but as the level increases, the effect of the Slime taking medicine is getting smaller and smaller.

The Little Skeleton is completely the opposite.

As time goes by, the higher its HP, the higher its damage, and the higher its HP...

I believe it will soon surpass the Slime.

I can only say, the Heartsteel equipment is too overpowered.

Lu Yuan opened his own attribute panel again.

[Level: LV.19 (4%)]

He was only one step away from level 20.

Level up one more time, and he would be able to summon a new Magic Pet.

His strength would see a huge increase.

Moreover, after having a third Magic Pet, the leveling speed would accelerate even more.

Of course, Lu Yuan didn't have too many expectations for the new Magic Pet.

After all, random summons are highly likely to be low-level Magic Pets.

What he was looking forward to most now was the new Hextech Rune.

He wondered what good things he could draw this time.

Lu Yuan didn't want to wait anymore and stood up to look at the two little guys.

The Slime was lying on the goose-down carpet, its short arms behind its head, legs crossed, eyes squinting.

"This is what life is about~"

"This Great King can finally lie flat~"

"Master, can you call two maids over later to give this Great King a massage?"

"This Great King fought for so long in the dungeon, my whole body is sore."

The Little Skeleton also relaxed for a rare moment.

It loved this kind of 'absolutely safe' environment.

But suddenly, it felt a sense of malice.

The Little Skeleton turned around vigilantly, meeting those familiar eyes.

"Ma… Master…?"

Lu Yuan lifted the round, well-fed Slime with one hand and stroked the Little Skeleton's skull with the other.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a kindly smile.

"Since you've eaten and drunk your fill, then go grind monsters."

"If you don't reach level 20, you are not allowed to come back."
