Chapter 5 The Thousand Transformations Silkworm

Ye Bai suppressed his hunger and quickly waved to the staff, saying, "I have signed a contract with this ever-changing silkworm. According to the school's regulations, I am entitled to a month's worth of food for my initial pet."

The lead staff member nodded: "Of course, there is indeed such a rule."

"Wait a moment, I'll send someone to bring you your rations right away."

The lead staff member clapped his hands, and immediately another person came up and took out bags of pet food weighing one kilogram each from his spatial backpack.

These rations are specially formulated according to scientific ratios, focusing on absolute nutrition, but the taste is not particularly good.

Ye Bai tore open a bag and threw the food inside to the Thousand Transformation Silkworm.

This peculiar thousand-face silkworm was incredibly fast. It shot out like a cannonball, caught the food in mid-air, and began to devour it greedily.

One bag of food can satisfy a young pet's three meals a day.

The silkworm devoured five bags of this food, indicating it was truly starving.

Having eaten and drunk its fill, the Thousand-Change Silkworm showed a satisfied expression on its face. It lay down on the ground like Ge You, and immediately felt sleepy.

All around, the Thousand-Change Silkworm's gurgling sound, like a resounding drum, could be clearly heard.

It has a naturally large appetite, eating more than other multi-faceted silkworms, so it always roams among the various groups in the secret realm to snatch food.

Because of its extremely fast digestion, the Thousand-Change Silkworm has not had a full meal yet, and it always feels a burning pain in its stomach.

Therefore, it risks its life to eat, even at the cost of incurring the resentment of some tribes.

Sometimes it can even be beaten up by a pet beast, so its ability to withstand beatings has been raised to the extreme. Ordinary physical attacks are like mosquito bites to the Thousand Transformation Silkworm.

It was only after it formed a contract with Ye Bai that it ate its first full meal since birth.

Seeing Ye Bai calmly choose a Hundred Transformations Silkworm under pressure, Li Weiyang's expression was quite strange.

Although the Hundred-Change Silkworm is a pet with unstable genes, it may have multiple evolutionary paths.

However, these pets don't have much offensive power at first; their defensive power is exceptionally strong.

However, this defense is as fragile as paper when it encounters a fire-type pet, and it can be easily breached.

Students who choose the Hundred Transformations Silkworm are usually from very wealthy families, whose families have already prepared pets with good qualities.

Coming to the school's secret realm is just a formality. In addition, the Hundred Transformation Silkworms of Shenshan Middle School are of good quality. If they can discover another evolutionary path for the Hundred Transformation Silkworms, they will become famous in history.

However, these students did not include himself and Ye Bai.

Li Weiyang and Ye Bai both come from ordinary families, and they have to rely on their own hard work for everything.

But why would Ye Bai choose the ordinary, non-aggressive Hundred Transformations Silkworm and give up the rare Little Snowball?

This left Li Weiyang completely baffled.

Li Weiyang simply did not believe that Ye Bai had felt any pity for the Hundred-Faced Silkworm.

After all, he was the same type of person as me, both being egoists, and wouldn't do anything that would be detrimental to myself.

Driven by curiosity, Li Weiyang made an exception and used her Eye of Insight, wanting to know why.

Her eyes turned blood red.

Ye Bai felt a piercing gaze directed at him, and when he turned around, he found that Li Weiyang's eyes had turned blood red.

It seems that Li Weiyang is activating the Eye of Insight ability. She must be trying to figure out her own intentions and why she made a contract with this 'ordinary' ever-changing silkworm.

Pet Name: Thousand-Transformation Silkworm

[Level: lv2 (Tier 1, Level 2)]

[Skills: Impact, Silk Spray, Hardening]

[Evolution Path: Eternal Silkworm, Materials Required for Evolution ???]

Strange, this pet is called Thousand Transformations Silkworm, which only has one more attack skill than the Hundred Transformations Silkworm. Why did it win Ye Bai's favor?

In terms of appearance, it looks almost exactly like a regular silkworm.

Something's strange, there's definitely something strange about this. After looking at the data on the Thousand Transformation Silkworm, Li Weiyang felt even more confused.

She felt something was off, and under the Eye of Insight, this guy could evolve into the Myriad Transformations Silkworm, but judging from the Hundred Transformations Silkworm, the Myriad Transformations Silkworm didn't have much attack power. What was Ye Bai after?

However, Li Weiyang didn't think about it too much at the moment, because she had more important things to do.

The thinner little snowball flew over with a somewhat forlorn expression after discovering Ye Bai's contracted pet.

It landed on Li Weiyang's fingertip, looking somewhat uninterested. Li Weiyang had always treated others as backup options for so long, but this time it was Little Snowball who was treating her as a backup option.

Although she was somewhat unhappy, Little Snowball was the rarest of all the pets, and even some important figures had been queuing up for a long time, eagerly waiting for a spot with Little Snowball.

If you're unwilling to sign a contract, there are plenty of others who will.

Moreover, this little snowball can evolve into an even rarer ice sprite, and has even learned the advanced skill of spraying snow.

From the moment of their birth, these pets have been the darlings of ice and snow.

A flash of icy blue light appeared between Little Snowball's eyebrows. Li Weiyang bit her fingertip and dripped her blood onto the icy blue light.

At this moment, she finally signed a contract with the little snowball. The little snowball yawned, looking slightly tired; the contract had taken a lot of its energy.

Without even saying goodbye, Little Snowball transformed into a streak of light and rushed into the pet space that Li Weiyang had created when she awakened.

After the contract was signed, He Qingyuan's boxing rabbit climbed out of the pool, completely soaking wet.

Its fur lay tightly against its body, making it look unusually thin.

Looking at his boxing rabbit, soaking wet and dripping with water, He Qingyuan's anger surged.

"Ye Bai, I challenge you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Lingxue emerged from a side path.

A meaningful smile appeared on her crimson lips.

She had just been hiding to the side and had witnessed Ye Bai and Li Weiyang's contract with their pet beast.

Zhang Lingxue, who was familiar with the Hundred Transformations Silkworm, noticed that Ye Bai's Hundred Transformations Silkworm seemed to be somewhat different.

"You want to challenge Ye Bai? Of course, no problem."

"Once we leave the secret realm, we can go to the battlefield to fight."

"It's getting late, we must leave the secret realm."

He Qingyuan's anger never subsided.

He was like a volcano about to erupt.

When they returned to school, He Qingyuan publicly challenged Ye Bai.

"But I feel that such a battle, without any extras, would be beneath your dignity, Young Master He."

“I remember you seemed to have obtained a Tier 2 Insect Stone last week, so let’s use this as a bonus.”

He Qingyuan hesitated for a moment. This second-tier insect stone was considered a rare item.

He also managed to obtain the Tier 2 Insect Stone by finding a bargain at a street stall.

“Okay, I’ll bet, but the stakes need to be equal. Ye Bai, what are your stakes?”

He Qingyuan knew that Ye Bai was not wealthy, his parents were missing, and he ran a small pet shop on his own.

The pets sold in the store are all low-end or substandard.

“My bet is simple: if I lose the game, I will automatically move away from Li Weiyang and give up my seat as Li Weiyang’s deskmate, so that you can have what you want.”

After hearing the bet between the two, the students started discussing it.

"The second-tier insect stone in He Qingyuan's hand is his prized possession."

“I have seen He Qingyuan show off the Insect Stone that he treasures more than once.”

"I feel that Ye Bai's bet doesn't seem to be commensurate with He Qingyuan's value."

"Are you stupid? Things are different now. What kind of talent did the class monitor awaken? It's the A-level talent, Eye of Insight!"

"Being close to the water tower gives you an advantage. If you can build a good relationship with the class monitor, she can use her Eye of Insight to help you choose a pet with exceptional talent. You'll recoup all the Insect Stones you've spent."

"This isn't a seat for a classmate, it's practically a wide, open road!"

To outsiders, Ye Bai's condition seemed like a complete scheme to get something for nothing.

However, in the eyes of a 'shrewd and experienced sycophant' like He Qingyuan, these conditions truly made his heart flutter.

"I agreed."

He Qingyuan agreed immediately.
