42: Chapter 42 How about working a little overtime?

"This, this, this—a Third Rank, Tenth Stage magic beast, just died like this?"

"Is this the strength of the Contracted Spirit Beast that Chen Yi has?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, as expected of the record-breaker who passed the Beast Tamer assessment the fastest, truly awesome!"

"Phew, that was terrifying! Good thing it was taken care of, otherwise, I feel like we would have been caught sooner or later!"

"That's why I said from the very beginning not to go near that cave! If it weren't for Chen Yi, we would have all had to use our teleportation crystals!"

"I mostly just felt like there was something in that cave, I didn't expect it to be this thing—"

"You're still talking back? If you talk back again, I won't serve you tonight!"

---

At this moment, Chen Yi and his group also took out their score orbs and magic beast crystal cores, arriving beside these students.

As soon as they arrived, they heard their discussion.

"A cave? What do you mean? This thing came out of a cave?"

"Yeah! If you go three or four kilometers east from here, you should be able to see that cave. It's under a willow tree, quite hidden!"

A bespectacled Beast Tamer explained, "I saw how hidden the cave was and thought maybe it was a treasure spot specifically arranged by the school, but I didn't expect—"

The rest is unnecessary to say.

They went in to look for treasure, only to encounter a Ghost-Faced Spider and were chased for several kilometers.

Chen Yi and his group exchanged glances, the corners of their mouths curling up slightly.

It seems everyone's thoughts were the same!

Since there's a treasure cave, then we must definitely go and investigate it!

However, today's hunting time is coming to an end, so let's wait until tomorrow.

Since it's already night, it's naturally time to do what one should do at night!

Before long, Chen Yi and his group returned to the rest area.

After putting all the score orbs in, their points skyrocketed again by a large margin!

[Point Ranking]

[First Place: Chen Yi, Lin Mengxue, Luo Shiyin. Points: 21600]

[Second Place: Lin Mo, Fu Xuemei, Xu Ting. Points: 6100]

---

Even after wasting most of the day, the point gap with second place was still significantly increasing.

If they keep up this momentum tomorrow, they will surely secure the first-place reward!

After Chen Yi finished guiding the energy of the magic beast crystal cores for The girls, it was already midnight.

Luo Shiyin seemed to have discussed it with Lin Mengxue in advance, as this time they did not launch an attack at the same time.

"Little Brother Chen Yi, I want to learn a skill too!"

Lin Mengxue on the side also seized the opportunity to provide an assist, gently patting Luo Shiyin's perky buttocks with a wicked smile.

"Brother Chen Yi, listen to how pleasant this sound is. It must be very enjoyable to hear this sound a few more times before going to sleep, right?"

Chen Yi coughed lightly upon seeing this and said, "When did you two come up with such a double act?"

Luo Shiyin leaned into Chen Yi's ear and blew a puff of air: "Does Brother Chen Yi not like it?"

The breath was like an orchid, carrying a faint, subtle fragrance, extremely seductive.

But Chen Yi remained completely unmoved.

As the Beast Tamer of these two little vixens, he felt it necessary to teach them what true lady values are!

Stop thinking about random things all day and neglecting your proper work!

"I like it!"

The third day of the final assessment.

At dawn, Chen Yi unexpectedly woke up very early, already sitting at the dining table enjoying breakfast by 7:30.

Of course, it was ultimately because he only had to deal with one of the Spirit Beast Girls last night.

Compared to the night before, it was much easier.

This morning, Lin Mengxue and Luo Shiyin did not choose to cultivate with magic beast crystal cores as they usually did, but chose normal food instead.

On one hand, eating too many magic beast crystal cores indeed easily makes one feel sick of them;

On the other hand, even with Chen Yi's technique, refining magic beast crystal cores takes three or four hours, which is really too time-consuming!

It was time to properly explore the cave information obtained from other students yesterday evening!

Just as Chen Yi was about to get up, Luo Shiyin suddenly put on a shy expression.

She gently tugged at Chen Yi's hand and asked in a low voice: "Little Brother Chen Yi, didn't you say last night that I would be able to learn a new skill soon? Since that's the case, how about working a little overtime now?"

Hearing this, Chen Yi sighed.

The system interface showed that Luo Shiyin's current affinity was 14 points, and she could learn a new skill at 15 points of affinity.

It's just a pity that he was truly exhausted last night, otherwise, it definitely wouldn't have dragged on until this morning.

Loose lips sink ships!

"Alright, let's just consider it post-meal exercise!"

"Thank you, Little Brother Chen Yi~~ Mua~~~"

Seeing this, Lin Mengxue couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

At first, she was worried that Luo Shiyin, as a daughter from a large family, would be arrogant and proud, making it difficult to establish a good relationship with Chen Yi.

Now it seems she was overthinking.

The fact that Chen Yi could get along well with Luo Shiyin was undoubtedly the best result!

Soon, fifteen minutes later, a system notification sounded.

[Ding! Luo Shiyin's affinity has reached 15 points, meeting the rank requirement of Second Rank, First Stage. Congratulations to the Contracted Spirit Beast Luo Shiyin for successfully learning a new skill — Sonic Boom!]

Feeling her new power, Luo Shiyin was excited inside and hugged Chen Yi for a wild celebration.

"Thank you, Chen Yi! I really didn't expect that I could have this day—"

Chen Yi gently stroked Luo Shiyin's head with a faint smile on his lips: "What are you thinking? Do you think learning a small skill is the end? I promise you, you will definitely be able to stand at the pinnacle of the world in the future!"

"Really?"

"Do I look like the kind of person who would lie to you?"

"Woooo—thank you, Little Brother Chen Yi! You are the benefactor of my life!"

Luo Shiyin was moved to tears, throwing herself directly into Chen Yi's arms and releasing her emotions to her heart's content.

[Ding! Luo Shiyin's favorability +5 points!]

[Ding! Luo Shiyin's favorability has reached 80 points. Congratulations to the Host for successfully capturing the heart of the Spirit Beast Girls!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 15 Enhancement Points!]

[Congratulations to the Host for mastering the combat skill — Wind Blade Slash!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the item — hundred-year divine bee nectar!]

"Wait? Favorability broke 80 points just like that?"

Chen Yi was secretly surprised in his heart.

Before transmigrating, he always felt that those beauties were unattainable, and wanting them to take the initiative was simply harder than climbing to the sky, or perhaps they didn't even have the option of taking the initiative at all.

Now it seems, it's not that the campus belle beauties don't take the initiative!

It's whether you are worth them taking the initiative!

"15 Enhancement Points—let's save them for now! With 50 points of constitution, it should be enough to handle the two of them!"

Just then, Lin Mengxue also interjected: "Brother Chen Yi, what about me?"

Chen Yi smiled slightly, wrapped his arm around Lin Mengxue's slender waist, and gently pulled her into his arms.

"Let me apologize slightly, it should be—we will definitely be able to stand at the pinnacle of the world together!"

"Hmph, that's more like it!"
