"Gu ji!"
"Gu ji!"
The octopus-shaped creature seemed very interested in Zhang Chen, flying around him.
"You look so soft, I'll call you Xiao Ruan!"
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"Gu ji???"
Zhao Xiyue chuckled and said,
"I thought you were going to call it Xiao Ruan, otherwise why say it looked soft?"
Zhang Chen scratched his head and said,
"Xiao Ruan does sound a bit better. Alright, I'll call you Xiao Ruan! From now on, you'll have a name, Xiao Ruan!"
"Gu ji!!!"
Upon hearing the name, Xiao Ruan excitedly landed on Zhang Chen's shoulder.
At this moment, whispers could be heard from the surroundings:
"Tch, I thought the boys in the experimental class would be different, but he summoned a mere decoration!"
"Hey, it's good enough that his talent is strong. He can't be good at everything, can he? What about the rest of us?"
"Although this guy looks cute, who knows where it came from? What if it's like Zhao Xiyue's two little dogs, able to transform and become incredibly powerful at any moment?"
"I have the ability to sense spirit energy. Zhao Xiyue's two contracted spirits clearly possess strong energy, but I can't sense any spirit energy from Zhang Chen's. Normally, all things, even stones and air, contain spirit energy. I've never encountered a black hole that completely lacks spirit energy before!"
A black hole with no spirit energy?
Zhang Chen contentedly stroked Xiao Ruan's head and body.
This was exactly the effect he wanted!
This time, he wasn't just being low-key; he had become a black hole!
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen's lips curved upwards, a smile on his face.
"I really can't understand you. You can still smile in this situation. Are you just doing the opposite of everyone else?!"
Zhao Xiyue shook her head gently.
At this time, all the classes had completed their summons.
But without a doubt, the two wolf kings beside Zhao Xiyue stole the show, becoming the strongest contracted spirits among the new students.
Zhang Chen's contracted spirit currently ranked seventh from the bottom.
There were still six students whose summoned contracted spirits were weaker than Xiao Ruan. Not only were they small, but they also had no skills.
At least Xiao Ruan could fly, while some contracted spirits were just a blade of grass. It was truly baffling.
"The lessons over these past few days have taught you the basic combat techniques of a spirit master!"
"The rest depends on your own practice. You can go to the surrounding exploration grounds to train yourselves and your contracted spirits."
"The final exam is the national league. Those who do not rank above the average will be expelled!"
"Everyone, continue to work hard!"
After saying this, Xi La slowly left the classroom.
"Finally, we can start our training!"
"I'm going to the ancient battlefield for training this weekend. Do you want to come with me?"
Zhao Xiyue turned and asked Zhang Chen.
"I won't be going. I still need to work part-time to earn money, as my expenses are quite high!"
Thinking of the two girls in the dormitory made Zhang Chen's head ache.
Moreover, if he wanted others to think he was trash, it would be by relying on his equipment to appear strong. Thus, buying high-level equipment also required a lot of money.
He never seemed to have enough money, no matter how much he earned!
"Alright then. Anyway, with your talent, even if you don't train, you'll still achieve good results in the final exam!"
Zhao Xiyue nodded, a look of disappointment on her face.
Zhang Chen pretended not to see it, afraid that he would soften and agree.
He had earned tens of millions as a corpse collector last time. If he softened, those tens of millions would be gone. He had to hold back!
Back in the dormitory, Xiaobai and Mo Ran were playing carelessly.
Xiaobai had tied eight small braids in Mo Ran's hair, making her look like a little spider.
It looked incredibly ugly.
Yet, Mo Ran was still giggling foolishly!
"Don't bully your sister!"
Zhang Chen said helplessly.
"I'm not! This is how she's supposed to be. She just doesn't remember it, so I'm helping her recall!"
Xiaobai said with her hands behind her back, feigning innocence.
"Hee hee!"
Mo Ran stood in front of the mirror, looking at her head full of small braids, still giggling foolishly.
Suddenly, her expression froze, as if she remembered something.
But soon, she started giggling again.
"It's fine, recovering memories isn't something that happens in a day or two!"
"Only in familiar environments, encountering familiar people, can one slowly recall. It can't be forced!"
Zhang Chen said, placing lunch on the table.
"Huh? Xiao Ruan?!"
At this moment, Xiaobai spotted Xiao Ruan slowly crawling out of Zhang Chen's pocket.
