Start With Contracting Sprites - Chapter 176

Chapter 176: Personal Laboratory

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Tuesday.

Since Su Hao had nothing to do, he participated in the Illusion Ability Application class with Butterfly.

On the way back to the dormitory.

Suddenly…

A figure appeared in front of him.

It was a Trading Puppet.

It looked at Reverie Butterfly.

Reverie Butterfly then looked at him. “Gurgle ~”

. 

He pointed at himself. “Senior Wu is looking for me?”

Trading Puppet held the silk thread and nodded.

“Alright, I’ll go over.”

The Trading Puppet disappeared with a whoosh.

He turned and walked towards Senior Wu’s manor.

Butterfly flapped its wings and flew in front of him, trying to ask, “Gurgle?”

It was asking if it could leave first.

“No.” Su Hao rejected it immediately. “If you leave, who will translate for me if I meet other sprites?”

“Gurgle?”

How did I become a tool sprite, gurgle ~!

I have a lot of things to do, gurgle ~!

I even developed a new business recently, gurgle ~!

There was unwillingness in Butterfly’s big eyes, but it still let Su Hao carry it and put it on his head.

…

Ten-Thousand Wood Manor.

When Su Hao arrived, apart from Heavenly King Wu, he also saw a middle-aged man with sparse hair and somewhat slovenly dressed.

He looked a little familiar.

He must have seen him somewhere before.

“Yao Jingxue, a professor from Laboratory No. 1 in our school,” Heavenly King Wu said.

“I’ve heard a lot about you, Master Yao.” Su Hao immediately followed up.

When Master Yao saw who was approaching, his eyes lit up. His gaze landed on the Reverie Butterfly above Su Hao’s head. After staring at it for a long time, the little rascal’s whole body tightened. With a gentle flap of its butterfly wings, the whole butterfly laid on his back.

Master Yao smiled awkwardly. “I’m a little excited, having seen the first evolved Reverie Butterfly. Exciting.”

“Its development is very perfect. I’ve seen other Reverie Butterflies, but be it the patterns of the butterfly wings or the agility of their eyes, they are inferior to it… You’ve nurtured it very well.”

After exchanging some flattery, Su Hao finally understood why Senior Wu had called him over.

“High School Sprite Cultivator Cup?”

Su Hao quickly searched through the knowledge stored in his mind.

But after a while, he was sure that he had never heard of it.

“High School Sprite Cultivator Cup and High School League, are known as the two big competitions of Sprite Universities.”

Master Yao said, “But the High School Sprite Cultivator Cup involves a lot of technique and experimental results, so it wasn’t made public… You’re a student of the Sprite Trainer School, it’s normal that you don’t know.”

He couldn’t help but say, “With your talent, you should have chosen the Sprite Care School. Academic education is the most important thing.”

“Bullsh*t!” Heavenly King Wu couldn’t help but say, “I called Little Su over for you, not for you to snatch him away!”

“Since even Teacher thinks highly of Little Su, it means that Teacher also thinks that Little Su is more talented in Sprite Commandeering!”

“It’s not like the principal’s students can only develop in the Sprite Trainer profession. If Student Su conducts experiments and research, and one day achieves a breakthrough result, your value will be worth more than dozens of Heavenly Kings.”

“How can there be such an exaggerated result…”

“Didn’t Grandmaster Ba, who developed the evolution of ‘giganticization’, increase the battle power of countless monarch rank sprites by himself?”

“If Little Su can become a Crown Sprite Trainer, he can even become the pillar of the country!”

The two of them argued.

It wasn’t that he felt that Su Hao could become a champion or a grandmaster.

It was mainly because they didn’t want to lose their momentum.

Su Hao was rendered speechless.

Although he was already very outstanding, he would still feel a little embarrassed to be praised like this.

…

After a long while, Master Yao, who was glaring at Heavenly King Wu, and Heavenly King Wu, whose hair was in a mess, sat down one after another.

Master Yao said, “I’m here because I want you to join the team and participate in this batch’s High School Sprite Cultivator Cup.”

Heavenly King Wu added, “He said that there are quite a lot of Sprite Cultivators present. It’s possible for you to find the evolution path of Reverie Butterfly.”

“Yes,” Master Yao said. “The High School Sprite Cultivator Cup isn’t just a competition. It’s also a chance for a young Sprite Cultivators of Dragon Nation to interact with the older generation.”

“It’s also a platform for display. If you have any ideas or experiments, you can use the High School Sprite Cultivator Cup to complete them… There are many materials there that you can use directly.”

Unfortunately, the evolution of Reverie Butterfly wasn’t attractive to Su Hao.

The evolution conditions were all stored in his mind.

It was impossible for him to reject it too decisively. As he thought so, he heard Master Yao say.

“Apart from that, based on the final evaluation of the judges, the Sprite Cultivator Cup will also provide an interest-free loan share for bonuses and experimental research… There are even a few students who can build personal laboratories under the state’s funding.

“Those aren’t important. What’s important is to communicate with other peers, verify your thoughts, and collide with new inspiration.”

Su Hao: ¥_ ¥

Butterfly: $o $

Su Hao felt that he could also participate in the High School Sprite Cultivator Cup.

He had always been a cultured person and had a desire for knowledge.

He raised a question about the ‘personal laboratory’ to NPC Master Yao.

A moment later…

Su Hao understood.

“The personal laboratory is different from what Professor Meng of Black Dragon University promised previously.”

At that time, Professor Meng had said that if he stayed in school in the future, the school could help him build a laboratory that belonged to him.

But in essence, the laboratory was still the school’s, only led by him.

It was even more unavoidable to bring students to help the school complete some research tasks and so on.

“But the personal laboratory completely belongs to me…”

Of course, the cost of constructing a laboratory was astronomical. The Dragon Nation only provided a few outstanding Sprite Cultivators with interest-free, low-interest loans, and a series of green light checks.

For example, the construction qualifications of the laboratory.

For example, some advanced equipment… couldn’t be bought just because they wanted to. They needed approval.

Su Hao had always had the idea of building a laboratory.

With the laboratory, he could take out many ‘experimental results’ more directly and apply for patents.

Su Hao was still thinking of starting a company around his “core product”.

“I have a lot of jade powder formulas. It’s too wasteful to only use them on my sprite.”

“If I make it into a product and sell it, the profits will definitely be a lot… And it’s also benefiting others!”

The jade powder set meal was considered the ‘most cost-effective’ sprite food.

But it wasn’t a high-end product.

With his current strength and status, even if the jade powder set meal he launched affected some people’s business, it wouldn’t be a big problem.

It was completely capable of stabilizing itself.

“Think about it more carefully. If you can develop high-end and rare products, you can also directly trade rare resources with some big clients or use them to do people favors.”

For example, Green Shade Group owned several types of fist products and was world-renowned.

It couldn’t be bought without any status.

“You’re thinking too far ahead. The personal laboratory isn’t even set up yet.”

“Let’s get the bonus prize first.”

Su Hao thought about it.

There was just one thing he didn’t understand.

He asked directly, “Master Yao, the quota for the High School Sprite Cultivator Cup should be limited, right? Then why…?”

Why did he look for an ordinary first-year like him?

There should be a lot of seniors from the Sprite Care Schools who had gotten their mid-level license.

“Because…”

Master Yao paused for a moment before explaining the reason.

“Our Whale Island University has a lot of talents in the combat specialization, but there aren’t many good seedlings in the Sprite Cultivation specialization…”
