Soon, it was the day of the result announcement.
Chen Qiyue stood under the wall and silently looked at his results ranking. It was the 98th.
It was just as he had expected.
Zheng Yun squeezed to his side excitedly. “Yuezi, I’m ranked 78th. Is that impressive? What’s your ranking? Why don’t I see your name in the top three?”
Chen Qiyue looked at him expressionlessly. Zheng Yun, who was familiar with his good friend, immediately lost his smile. “Did you screw up the exam?”
Before Chen Qiyue could answer, a mocking voice came from the side.
“Heh, the top student on the rankings has actually fallen to 98th place. I really don’t know how he got his previous results.”
Zhang Zili looked at them mockingly. In the past, Zhang Zili’s grades had always been lower than Chen Qiyue’s. Now that he saw Chen Qiyue get 98th place, he felt extremely good.
“What? 98th place?” Zheng Yun’s expression changed drastically. He immediately looked at the rankings and quickly found Chen Qiyue’s name at the third last place.
“I heard that when some schools recruit students, they also have to look at the students’ character. The former top student has now screwed up the college entrance examination. Perhaps he cheated in the past?”
Mocking voices came continuously. Zhang Zili looked at Chen Qiyue mockingly, “Forget it, who asked me to be nice? I won’t expose you. Anyway, you won’t be able to go to those top Fantastic Beast universities, hahahahaha!”
“F*ck, nothing good comes out of a dog’s mouth!” Zheng Yun rolled up his sleeves in anger and was about to step forward.
Chen Qiyue grabbed Zheng Yun. “Don’t. You’ll be punished if you fight in school. It’ll affect your chances of going to Fantastic Beast University.”
Zheng Yun was furious. “But this bastard accused you of cheating…”
Chen Qiyue looked at Zhang Zili indifferently and slowly said, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.”
Zhang Zili felt a chill in his heart when he saw Chen Qiyue’s gaze. He did not say anything else and turned to leave.
Zheng Yun took a deep breath and took a long time to calm down. He turned to look at Chen Qiyue and saw that he was in a daze. He thought of his friend’s score and asked worriedly.
“Then… What are you going to do? Why don’t you wait for a year and take the exam again? With your strength…”
Chen Qiyue was silent for a moment. “I’ll accompany you to take a look at the Fantastic Beast egg first. Can’t you buy a discounted Fantastic Beast egg? I still have a summer vacation to consider. There’s no hurry.”
Zheng Yun nodded. “You really have to consider this matter carefully. Actually, it’s not impossible for you to go to an ordinary university. It’s just that the top three students can choose C-rank initial Fantastic Beast eggs. You can’t miss this opportunity.”
The price of a C-rank Fantastic Beast egg was not only more than a million yuan, but the buyer also had to have a certain status to buy it. They needed to be certified as a Junior Feeder or an Entry-Level Trainer.
For ordinary students, to be able to obtain a C-rank initial Fantastic Beast egg, to a certain extent, they could surpass most people.
“Alright, I’ll accompany you to take a look first before making a decision,” Chen Qiyue said with a smile.
For Chen Qiyue, who was completely unfamiliar with the Fantastic Beasts and the industry, the best choice was to wait and see.
Then, the two of them went to the Academic Affairs Office to collect the Fantastic Beast voucher.
If Chen Qiyue decided to take the college entrance exam again, then he only needed to not redeem this Fantastic Beast voucher. In any case, the voucher would expire, and each person could only receive it once.
There was already a long queue outside the largest official Fantastic Beast feeding house in Jianlan City.
Two hours later, Chen Qiyue and Zheng Yun entered the Feeding House.
A beautiful receptionist, after registering their information, led them to different rooms.
“Zheng Yun, you can choose a Fantastic Beast egg in a room below D-rank.”
“Chen Qiyue, you can choose a Fantastic Beast egg from a room below E-rank.”
Every room in the Feeding House was assigned a level. In rooms of different levels, the qualifications of the Fantastic Beast eggs inside were naturally different.
“If I don’t choose, can I follow him to take a look in other rooms?” Chen Qiyue asked.
“Of course,” the receptionist replied with a smile.
“Thank you!” Chen Qiyue thanked him and pulled Zheng Yun to the D-rank room.
The Feeding House had the most D and E rooms.
Many students were deep in thought and choosing.
He walked into a D-rank room and saw rows of transparent cabinets. There were cute round eggs placed inside. These eggs had all kinds of colors. Most had labels stuck on them. Drilling Rats, Fat-Eyed Worms, and other common Fantastic Beasts.
The market price of such a D-level Fantastic Beast was about 400,000 to 800,000 yuan. Here, because he had the voucher, he enjoyed a 90% discount. He only needed 40,000 to 80,000 yuan to bring it home.
Chen Qiyue recalled that the living expenses his mother gave him were only 20,000 yuan. Good. He could not afford it.
Zheng Yun was also very conflicted about which egg to buy. These eggs from the same race looked the same.
In fact, D-rank and E-rank eggs did not seem to be different. It was just that during the aptitude test, the potential of the Fantastic Beast hatched from the D-rank eggs was higher and their aptitude was better. In the future, the advancement of the Fantastic Beasts would be faster and higher.
Of course, even two D-rank eggs had differences. It was just that they could not tell the difference.
Zheng Yun laughed bitterly as he thought about which Fantastic Beast to choose. “The Fat-Eyed Worm can eventually evolve into a Phantom Butterfly. It can hallucinate and hypnotize the target. Its infancy period is short and its evolution is fast. It’s a good choice for the initial Fantastic Beast.”
“If Drilling Rats evolve into Diamond Rats, if I take up archeology, I might be able to find a lot of diamonds. I would be rich…”
Chen Qiyue: “…”
He coughed lightly and patted Zheng Yun’s shoulder. “Take your time to choose. Shall I go elsewhere?”
Zheng Yun nodded. “Go, as long as you don’t choose the Fantastic Beast egg now.”
Chen Qiyue smiled and went to the room in the E-rank area. He planned to take a look.
Area E was different from Area D. There was an additional area here. The room in that area was very big. There were a few words written on it, “Random Fantastic Beast Eggs.”
“Random Fantastic Beast eggs?” Chen Qiyue curiously asked the female receptionist beside him, “Aren’t the Fantastic Beast eggs here tested?”
“It’s like this. The Fantastic Beast eggs in the other E-rank rooms are all cultivated. After testing, they can at least be nurtured to the elite level.” The female receptionist explained patiently.
“However, these random Fantastic Beast eggs were found in the wilderness. According to the appearance of the Fantastic Beast eggs, they were sent here without being tested. After all, the cost of testing the Fantastic Beast eggs is not small.”
“Therefore, although this place is labeled as E-rank, the aptitude of the beasts hatched here might be even worse. It’s not impossible for it to reach F-rank.”
Chen Qiyue frowned. “Isn’t that similar to egg gambling outside?”
The female receptionist smiled. “The Fantastic Beast eggs in egg gambling might only have worse aptitude and quality. Sometimes, the Fantastic Beast hatched might be disabled. At least, there won’t be such a problem with the Fantastic Beast eggs in the Feeding House.”
“Then, can I assume that it’s possible for these Fantastic Beast eggs to hatch creatures with better aptitude than E?” Chen Qiyue raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
“That’s possible, but it’s not very likely. Because the good-quality eggs were all taken away for testing. The rest…” The female receptionist didn’t finish her sentence, but her meaning was obvious.
Chen Qiyue came to a realization. If he could obtain a D- or C-level Fantastic Beast egg in Area E, then there was no need for him to take the college entrance examination again.
Thinking of this, he walked towards the room excitedly.
