8: Chapter 8 The Honey Badger's Provocation!

"It definitely has something wrong with its brain."

Lu Yuan was very certain.

City Lord Lu Feng, however, couldn't care less about that and patted Lu Yuan's shoulder excitedly.

"It doesn't matter if it's sick."

"As long as it has potential, that's enough."

After Li Muyao and City Lord Lu Feng watched the video of the Slime's battle in the Spider Cave, they were both extremely excited.

"Even if this Slime only has this one skill, it can still sweep through everything."

"In this College Entrance Exam, our son will definitely shock everyone."

Regarding the fact that their son had become stronger, his parents were naturally very excited.

Lu Yuan shook his head.

They still didn't understand the true value of using hacks.

Was there a need to be this excited?

There was still the 'Split' skill that he hadn't shown them yet.

Moreover, as the Slime's level increased, he could continue to spend money to enhance its attributes.

Later on, he would also be able to choose more Hextech Runes.

In the future, Lu Yuan would also be able to summon more Magic Pets and choose more Hextech combinations.

If they were this excited now, what would they be like when the time came?

Li Muyao stood up, grabbed Lu Yuan's shoulders, and began to imagine the future.

"Xiao Yuan, the most critical thing next is the College Entrance Exam."

"You must clear the Novice Dungeon to be eligible to participate in the College Entrance Exam."

"Mom, I know. Don't worry," Lu Yuan nodded, looking serious.

"The Slime will work hard tomorrow."

Li Muyao rubbed her son's head and shook her head helplessly.

Her son was good at everything, except for being too lazy.

Li Muyao took out an exquisite storage bracelet.

"This is equipment I prepared for you, along with a large amount of Life Magic Crystals."

Li Muyao lowered her voice and said:

"The Slime's Self-destruct requires consuming its own HP. You must not easily expose this weakness in front of others."

"There is a piece of equipment here that can conceal the Slime's HP."

Lu Yuan took the bracelet, feeling a warmth in his heart.

"Thank you, Mom."

Whether he went to college or not didn't really matter.

However...

His parents were so good to him.

Since he had hacks, it was only right to earn them some face.

After eating and drinking his fill, the spherical Slime rolled in front of Lu Yuan.

'Tomorrow's Novice Dungeon will be the battle where I, King Slime, prove myself. I want to tell the whole world that I, King Slime, am no coward!!'

Lu Yuan slapped it on the head.

"Go to sleep now."

The Slime let out an 'Awoo'.

It closed its eyes, and in less than three seconds, its breathing became slow and steady.

With its breathing, the snot bubble on its nose was still gently trembling.

...

The next day, early morning.

Sunlight spilled onto the streets of Magic City.

In front of the Magic City Royal Academy, luxury cars gathered.

This was a Magic City aristocratic school.

Those who could attend school here were either rich or noble, or they were gifted geniuses.

And Lu Yuan was undoubtedly the most dazzling existence here.

"Young Master Lu is here!"

"I heard he changed his class to a Summoner, but he summoned a Slime?"

"Holy crap, is that true? Isn't that the lowest-level Magic Pet?"

"It's absolutely true; it's already spread throughout the wealthy circles."

"So what?"

"Exactly, given Young Master Lu's family background, so what if he summoned a Slime? He's still the boss of our school!"

Although many people were whispering, no one dared to mock Lu Yuan to his face.

Magic City belongs to the Lu family!!

His grandfather is one of the strongest people in the world, Lu Zhentian; his father is the City Lord of Magic City; and his mother is the founder of the Treasure Pavilion.

Who would dare to offend him?

Lu Yuan walked into the campus carrying the Slime, and students along the way consciously made way and greeted him respectfully.

Lu Yuan didn't put on any airs as a young master, nodding at everyone with a smile.

The Slime lay on his shoulder, its little eyes darting around.

'Wow, there are so many people here!'

'Master, are they also your Magic Pets?'

Lu Yuan's mouth twitched.

"No."

'Oh, then why do they all greet you?'

"Because my surname is Lu."

The Slime tilted its head, looking puzzled.

'Is having the surname Lu that amazing?'

'Then I'll have the surname Lu too from now on!'

'I'll be called Lu Slime!'

Lu Yuan: "..."

This guy's train of thought was truly unique.

He didn't know who it learned that from.

...

In the classroom.

Lu Yuan had just sat down on the exclusive sofa in the back row.

A figure with dyed yellow hair and a thin build immediately hugged his thigh, looking resentful.

"Boss, the College Entrance Exam is coming up soon, and we might not be in the same school by then!"

"How am I supposed to live without you?"

Lu Yuan looked disgusted.

"Ugh, can you stop being so gross."

Ji Guangyao, his father was a capable subordinate of City Lord Lu Feng.

So he had followed Lu Yuan around since he was a child and was Lu Yuan's number one lackey.

Because he liked to dye his hair, Lu Yuan gave him a nickname—Shanji.

"Boss, Boss!"

Shanji looked gossipy. "I heard you went out of the city to level up yesterday. How many levels did you gain?"

"Five levels."

Shanji's eyes widened. "Five levels in one day? That's too fierce!"

"I spent two days straight grinding dungeons in the wild, and I only got to level 4."

The other lackeys also looked worshipful.

"Boss is awesome!"

"As expected of Boss!"

Lu Yuan waved his hand. "Low profile, low profile."

Just then, a crisp but provocative female voice came from the doorway.

"I thought you summoned a trash Slime and were hiding at home, too scared to come out!"

Everyone turned to look.

Standing at the doorway was a girl around seventeen or eighteen years old, tall, with delicate features and eye-catching fire-red long hair.

She was wearing a fire-red mage robe, her arms crossed over her chest, her chin slightly raised, her eyes full of provocation.

Xu Qianqian, the daughter of the commander of the 'Demon Suppression Army' stationed in Magic City base city.

The number two most famous person at Magic City Royal Academy, second only to Lu Yuan.

Her biggest characteristic was her extremely strong desire to fight.

No matter what it was, she had to compete for first place.

Ever since arriving at Magic City Royal Academy, she had pointed her spearhead at Lu Yuan.

But that was also the beginning of Xu Qianqian's nightmare.

She lost at whatever she competed in.

Defeated repeatedly, yet fighting repeatedly.

She regarded Lu Yuan as her lifelong rival!

Therefore, Lu Yuan also gave her a nickname.

"Honey Badger, you want to call me Daddy again."

"Ah!!!"

Hearing this nickname, Xu Qianqian immediately bristled.

"Lu Yuan!!!"

"I'm going to kill you!!!"

Xu Qianqian was furious, her flat chest heaving rapidly.

"If you have the guts, let's compete again!"

"Today in the Novice Dungeon, let's see who clears the dungeon first?"

The classroom instantly went quiet, and everyone looked at Lu Yuan.

Shanji leaned into Lu Yuan's ear and whispered a reminder.

"Boss, don't fall for her trick! Xu Qianqian this time awakened a Diamond-tier class, an Ice-Fire Mage! And she's teamed up with Deng Tianhao; that guy also awakened a Diamond-tier class."

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Two Diamond-tier classes?

That sounded quite impressive.

Lu Yuan smiled and said very casually: "Old rules?"

Xu Qianqian was stunned, then reacted, a victorious smile appearing on her face.

"Good."

"Old rules: if I lose, I call you Daddy; if you lose, you call me Mommy!"

The classroom was in an uproar.

No one expected that, under these circumstances, Lu Yuan would actually dare to accept Xu Qianqian's bet.

Shanji stomped his feet in anxiety.

"Boss, why did you agree? We're doomed!"

"Wait... Boss, did your family assemble a top-tier escort team for you?"

Lu Yuan stood up and patted Shanji's shoulder.

"No, we'll team up in a bit. Today, Boss will carry you guys to victory."

Shanji and the other lackeys were stunned.

Carry to victory?

How?

By relying on that Slime?

But they didn't dare to say anything, nor did they dare to ask.

If Boss says we do it, we do it!
