System first launch task

A transfer competition?

Gu Xiaoyue pondered for a moment; she had never heard of a transfer competition being held for class transfers before.

Her first thought was, could Chu Li have suggested this to the school leadership?

Immediately after, Ye Wanrou sent another message: "It's a duo competition format. I will definitely help you successfully transfer!"

She replied to Ye Wanrou: "Ye Wanrou, let's take a good look at the competition rules tomorrow. It's too late, let's go to sleep."

Since coming to this world, Ye Wanrou was the person who treated her the best, aside from her parents, so she tried her best to treat Ye Wanrou as gently as the original host had.

She even wondered if this was the last bit of gentleness left in her heart.

After all, in the apocalypse, zombies ate people, and people had to guard against each other.

If she had remained gentle and kind, she would have been eaten until not even her bones were left.

While still lamenting that her current life was comfortable and happy for her, she sat up from her bed abruptly.

Xiao Qi leveled up!

It had only been a few days—three days, or three and a half days to be exact!

This growth speed was simply too heaven-defying!

Gu Xiaoyue checked on Xiao Qi from the Imperial Pet Space; it had devoured all the beast food she had prepared for it before going to sleep!

The Four-legged Beast, now two sizes larger, was holding its belly and burping!

"Fine, fine, fine, being able to eat is a blessing." Gu Xiaoyue felt like pinching her own philtrum. In the apocalypse, where meals were uncertain, she had always eaten food in small amounts.

However, this wasn't the apocalypse, and it was normal for a pet to eat whatever it had. After all, what did it know?

Leveling up was a good thing. Just as Gu Xiaoyue was about to sleep, the system, which had been silent for two days, started beeping.

[Task Content: Transfer Competition - Successfully transfer classes. Do you accept?]

[Yes] [No]

[Sub-task: Win first place in the Transfer Competition. Do you accept?]

[Yes] [No]

Gu Xiaoyue's original intention was to wait until she saw the competition rules before deciding, as she didn't want to fight an uncertain battle.

Besides, this system issued tasks without mentioning any rewards!

But if she didn't accept the task, this damn system would just keep beeping.

Beep, beep, beep...

Gu Xiaoyue was annoyed by the noise, but she didn't want to press [No], as transferring to the Elite Class would definitely be a great help for her growth.

Impatiently, she selected [Yes] for both and turned over to continue sleeping.

But at this moment, Gu Xiaoyue had no sleepiness left. She thought to herself: "Give me two zombies to kill!"

Early the next morning, Gu Xiaoyue arrived at school, and Ye Wanrou was already waiting for her at the bulletin board.

"Xiao Yue! Oh my god, didn't you sleep well?" Ye Wanrou reached out to touch Gu Xiaoyue's forehead to check if she had a fever.

Gu Xiaoyue, sporting two dark circles under her eyes, replied, "I was just so happy knowing there was a transfer competition that I couldn't sleep."

Could she say that the system kept her awake last night, and then she went to the Imperial Pet Space to see Xiao Qi, who made her play with it for most of the night?

It seemed like it didn't need to sleep at all! Apart from eating and training, all it did was play!

Before she could fall asleep, Xiao Qi had already practiced its Thunderbolt Spell from low-level to intermediate-level.

Fortunately, even the most advanced brain couldn't scan Xiao Qi's attributes; otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible for someone to kill her and steal her pet.

In the apocalypse, her body was quite strong, but now, with Gu Xiaoyue's frail body, it was hard to even protect herself.

"Xiao Yue, look, the rules for this competition are like this: you can register as a duo, talent doesn't matter, but you can only register once, and the team is fixed.

In that case, there's no problem with us teaming up!" Ye Wanrou smiled happily. "I will definitely help you successfully transfer!"

"There are only three transfer spots. Did you account for the students with Yellow Tier talent in the key class?" Chu Li and Chen Yixuan saw them at the bulletin board and came over.

Ye Wanrou bit her lip. She had indeed forgotten about the students in the key class. She had only thought that with her beast-taming talent and Snowball, she could help Xiao Yue successfully transfer.

But if she really had to face two Yellow Tier talents, she wouldn't be confident. What if they faced a Yellow Tier plus a Profound Tier...

"If you're not confident, step aside!"

Chu Li turned to Gu Xiaoyue. "Teaming up with me is the only foolproof way."

Chen Yixuan, standing beside them, didn't speak. He knew that among the three, he was the weakest. If Ye Wanrou wasn't confident, he would be even less so.

Although unwilling, Ye Wanrou spoke up: "Xiao Yue, currently, teaming up with Chu Li is indeed the safest option. Plus, you might even compete for first place, and there are extra rewards for first place."

"Extra rewards?" Gu Xiaoyue's eyes lit up. Although she didn't know what they were specifically, having them was better than not having them.

Gu Xiaoyue thought that with Xiao Qi's strength, she could probably easily transfer even if she competed alone.

"Can I compete by myself?" Gu Xiaoyue looked at the competition terms and blurted out.

Ye Wanrou exclaimed, "That won't do!"

Chen Yixuan also spoke up: "Xiao Yue, don't be impulsive. Even if you could pass the transfer competition on your own, if you want to take first place, teaming up with Chu Li is your best hope."

Gu Xiaoyue considered it for a while. Xiao Qi was very powerful—heaven-defyingly powerful—this she knew, and it was indisputable.

But this was a competition, and they were all classmates. What if she couldn't hold back?

She remembered that when Xiao Qi was at Young life stage 1, just a low-level Thunderbolt Spell had shocked Chu Li into unconsciousness. If it were now—Young life stage 2, an intermediate-level Thunderbolt Spell—wouldn't that kill someone!

How could Gu Xiaoyue know that Xiao Qi's previous attack had already struck the original Chu Li to death, and this was the reborn Chu Li!

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xiaoyue decided: she would team up with Chu Li. Let him handle the fighting; it was better to keep Xiao Qi's strength hidden.

Although this might get gossips talking, what did it matter? The rumors about her and Chu Li were already so extreme—they were even rumored to have had a child together.

"Then I'll leave it to you, classmate Chu Li."

Gu Xiaoyue extended her hand, wanting to shake hands with Chu Li.

Chu Li also extended his hand and tightly grasped Gu Xiaoyue's hand.

Registration was in the morning, and the schedule was set in the afternoon. With nothing else to do, Gu Xiaoyue and Ye Wanrou went shopping.

These past few days, Ye Wanrou had been busy taking care of Snowball and building a close bond with it, so she really hadn't communicated well with Xiao Yue.

She was especially curious about things between Xiao Yue and Chu Li.

She also knew that in school, the rumors about Xiao Yue and Chu Li were spreading wildly and were quite outrageous.

Gu Xiaoyue herself didn't know the details, but she told Ye Wanrou about buying the beast food earlier.

She didn't mention awakening the Immortal Tier talent; even if she did, Ye Wanrou probably wouldn't believe it.

"Xiao Yue, you're not being a good friend! You borrowed from Chu Li but not from me!" Ye Wanrou pouted angrily.

Gu Xiaoyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She hadn't borrowed from Chu Li; she just couldn't bear to see Xiao Qi gnawing on turf every day.

"Alright, Ye Wanrou, you weren't there at the time. How about next time? Next time if I don't have enough money, I'll definitely borrow from you!" Gu Xiaoyue coaxed her gently.

"That's more like it! Let's go, Xiao Yue, let's go have a big meal. We didn't get to eat on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, so we'll make up for it now!"

While they were happily devouring the delicious food in front of them, Gu Xiaoyue received a Xingyuan message from Chu Li.

"Tomorrow at nine in the morning, the preliminary round. We are the first match."

Nine o'clock. Gu Xiaoyue kept it in mind. Regardless of which match it was or who the opponent was, the preliminary round would definitely be fine.

Little did she know, upon arriving at the competition venue, the opponent left Gu Xiaoyue a bit stunned. How could it be—
