"When did you add so many friends? We've only been in this world for less than a month..."
Zhang Chen looked at the contact list on his magic energy phone. Besides teachers from various subjects, there was no one else.
"No, they added me proactively!"
"That day, I was accompanying Master in the library, and a boy wanted to add me as a friend, so I agreed."
"At first, I thought about secretly eating this guy to taste him, but I didn't expect people to actively strike up conversations every day, and many people would add me as a friend for no reason. As a result, there were more and more, and that's how it became like this."
Coco said with a helpless expression.
"You didn't... eat them, did you!?"
Zhang Chen asked with a worried expression.
He still wanted to study in this world for a while longer. If he directly became a wanted criminal, it would be troublesome.
"Of course not. This school manages its students very strictly. If someone disappears, they'll be found out quickly."
"So I've been holding back from eating them. I'm enduring it with great difficulty. Master, don't you want to give me a reward?!"
Coco twisted her slender waist, looked at Zhang Chen with a smile, pouted her small lips, and leaned in.
"Reward your sister, get serious with me! What are you thinking about all day!"
"I'm here to study magic, so it's important to get down to business first!"
Zhang Chen covered Coco's face with his hand and pushed her aside.
He knew this guy; she was the type who would push her luck.
If you let her gain even a little advantage, the next time she would directly ride on you, and later she might do something even more outrageous.
What was even stranger was that even though Zhang Chen's attitude towards her was very indifferent, she seemed to enjoy it.
The more Zhang Chen rejected her, the more she found ways to stick to him.
In short, neither giving in nor refusing worked; she was very troublesome.
He couldn't possibly send Coco home for treatment every day... Even if his own body was fine, it would be too much of a waste of time.
Coco was different from Katerina or Zhao Xiyue. The latter were humans with limited stamina. If the battles were fierce, after a few rounds, their stamina would essentially be exhausted.
However, for Coco, battles were nourishment for her body; she was the type who grew stronger with every fight.
If Zhang Chen and Coco truly fought, it would be hard to predict when the winner would be decided.
"Mhm, Master, you pick the books first. I won't bother you."
Coco sat on a nearby seat with her hands supporting her chin. The two mounds of her clothes rested on the table, swaying back and forth with her moving body.
"Yes, these books are very good... I can take them back and study them."
Zhang Chen spread out these magic scrolls on the table. One of the scrolls rolled to the side and stopped by Coco's pile of clothes.
"Move over there!"
Zhang Chen pushed the scroll forcefully towards Coco, and then it lay flat.
"I'll help you hold it down. I'm afraid it'll be blown away by the wind!"
Coco said with a smile.
"You..."
Zhang Chen's eyes went black.
Forget it, let her do whatever she wanted.
This scroll recorded the summoning of wind spirits. When wind magic reached a certain level, one could summon wind spirits.
Zhang Chen meticulously studied the magical construction patterns on it and gradually discovered that this was not summoning at all, but a way to create a new life.
It was equivalent to creating a non-carbon-based life form – an elemental life.
Moreover, these elemental life forms possessed consciousness and intelligence from birth, which was a huge difference from the blood and flesh Zhang Chen created, which were devoid of consciousness.
"Understanding this spell might make my understanding of life more profound!"
Zhang Chen sat excitedly in his seat and began to study.
Soon, the classmates in the classroom had all left, leaving only Zhang Chen and Coco.
The sun gradually set, finally disappearing completely below the horizon. Everything around was pitch black.
However, Zhang Chen could see in the dark by means of faint light, so he could still see very clearly in this situation.
Beside him, Coco was initially lying on the table, then sniffed her black-stocking-clad feet, playfully and quietly placed them near Zhang Chen's face, and even deliberately stretched with her body close to Zhang Chen, sticking out her tongue at him...
But Zhang Chen was completely engrossed in his study and didn't notice any external information.
"Phew, I'm finally done studying. It was truly beneficial."
"However... some of the details are not quite certain. I should find a teacher to ask."
Zhang Chen put away the scrolls and only then noticed that Coco beside him had long since fallen asleep out of boredom, curled up on the table, like a little girl lacking a sense of security.
"The contrast between being awake and asleep is too great! It would be great if she was always this well-behaved!"
Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly and said.
"Mmm? Master, are you finished?"
Coco felt Zhang Chen's gaze, rubbed her eyes, and woke up.
"Not quite. I need to find a teacher to ask about the details of this magic."
"If you're sleepy, go back and rest. You don't need to accompany me."
After speaking, Zhang Chen walked towards the dark and deep corridor at the entrance.
"I'm going too! Wherever Master goes, Coco will go!"
Coco rubbed her eyes, instantly entered an excited state, and followed behind, bouncing and skipping.
This was the first time Zhang Chen had walked around the school so late at night.
The entire school was dark. In the dim and damp corridors, there was only a dim torch every dozen meters.
If an ordinary student walked here in the middle of the night, they would probably be scared to death.
"Let me look at this floor plan. I'm looking for Bella, the chief professor of the Department of Life Magic..."
Zhang Chen murmured to himself, looking at the map on the wall.
"Bella? You mean that blonde, well-endowed girl? The one with a sweet face and a slightly shy smile?"
"So Master likes this style? I can do it too!"
Coco puffed out her chest, and at the same time, her hair slowly turned golden, and her appearance also changed slightly, looking much more pure.
"I still prefer you as you are. And I'm just going to study magic with her!"
Zhang Chen said indifferently.
"Tch, looking for a blonde girl to study life magic in the middle of the night..."
Coco said with a sly smile.
At the same time, she obediently returned to her previous appearance.
"It's next to the flower house in the backyard. That's where she lives!"
Zhang Chen confirmed the location, walked to the window at the end of the corridor, reached out, pushed open the window, and jumped straight down.
At that moment, in the sky, more than ten dark figures were also rapidly flying towards the garden.
