My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 12 Secret Realm Selection and Exam Teammates (Please collect! Please read!)
Zhou Lu was not in a hurry to let Hua Huo practice headbutt. After all, whether this skill could be successfully trained was completely unknown, and the exam was just around the corner.

He planned to have Hanabi train [Vine Entanglement] to a proficient level, which would at least ensure that he could perform well in the exam and strive to obtain more credits.

Looking at the message sent back by Wu Xiaoqing, Zhou Lu picked up Huahuo who was "peeking out" from the window to look for bees and walked out the door.

When he left, he took a special look at the next door. The music had stopped, and he didn't know if Teacher Xiao Xi had gone to work in the research building.

Even if you are a college student, you need to go through the Explorers Association if you want to enter the secret realm.

This is an official association established to manage secret realm exploration matters, and its main responsibility is to issue exploration certificates of corresponding levels.

After the pioneers have roughly explored the secret realm, except for a small number of areas in the secret realm, most areas will be designated as public exploration areas for beastmasters to explore on their own and find the resources or spirit beasts they want.

During this process, the pioneering army will rate the danger levels of the open areas, and take the danger rating corresponding to the most dangerous area of ​​the secret realm to determine the level of exploration certificate required to enter the secret realm.

Although the authorities have established safe areas in each secret realm for students to explore and conduct scientific research, an exploration certificate of the corresponding level is required to enter.

When it comes to entering the secret realm, everyone is treated equally. The only advantage students have is probably that after paying credits, a teacher responsible for safety will follow them throughout the process.

Where Zhou Lu is going now is a D-level secret realm. There is basically no threat in this level of secret realm. The only spirit beasts are mostly first-level spirit beasts with docile personalities and will not actively attack humans.

After the official cancellation of the D-level exploration certificate a few years ago, the D-level secret realm is gradually developing in the direction of a tourist secret realm, but it is still in the testing stage and only beastmasters can enjoy the benefits of this travel.

Since the D-level exploration certificates have been cancelled, Zhou Lu only needs to use his student ID to enter the secret realm.

At Wu Xiaoqing's suggestion, he chose the secret realm numbered D0153, which is generally known as the grassland secret realm.

The secret realm number consists of a letter and a string of numbers. The number represents the number of secret realms that have been discovered, and the letter represents its degree of danger. As for secret realms that have not been fully explored and cannot be rated, they generally start with S.

Zhou Lu plans to go find the C0032 secret realm of the white jade snail, which is the nd secret realm discovered by humans. It has a danger level of C and requires a C-level exploration certificate to be allowed to enter.

It was not far from the dormitory to the Explorers Association in the academy, but because Huo Huo wanted to get off and walk by himself several times, he had to stop.

Zhou Lu was quite pleased to see Fireworks crawling happily. Compared to yesterday when it just learned to walk, it could now walk quite well, but its speed could only barely keep up with his pace.

At night, water the firework with a bottle of low-level growth potion, which should make its branches and leaves more vigorous and able to withstand higher-intensity stem growth.

In fact, Zhou Lu could have easily put Huohua into the Beast Taming Card, but Beast Tamers who had just started training spirit pets generally wouldn't do that. They needed to spend a long time with their spirit pets to develop feelings.

Feelings are a mysterious thing, but sometimes they can really affect the evolution of pets.

"Huh? Zhou Lu!"

When Zhou Lu arrived at the door of the Exploration Association, he unexpectedly heard a familiar voice.

Well, that's the sound of a fine.

Zhou Lu looked in the direction of the sound and spotted Xu Wuhu in the crowd. This sturdy squad leader stood out in the crowd.

Because the first combat exam of the sophomore year is only a month away, the Exploration Association is full of students who are preparing to go to the secret realm. I heard that the queue at the training hall is even more exaggerated, and some people simply live in the venue and don't leave.

There were so many people, but Xu Wuhu was able to spot him in the crowd at a glance. Zhou Lu couldn't help but admire him.

Since they were teammates, there was no reason to hide. Zhou Lu took the queue number, squeezed through the crowd and came to Xu Wuhu.

It was then that Zhou Lu realized that there was another boy standing next to Xu Wuhu. He looked quiet and gentle, wearing a pair of half-framed glasses. He had an ordinary appearance, and was even less eye-catching than the pet on his shoulder. Zhou Lu's gaze briefly lingered on the man's pet.

It looks like a ball of pink jelly with a layer of transparent liquid covering its body.

Sticky baby.

The name of this spiritual pet immediately flashed through Zhou Lu’s mind.

As one of the most successful spiritual beasts in industrialization, the mucus produced by Sticky Baby has become one of the most important products in the world, and this product can be found in almost every industry.

The slime used to make sticky babies can achieve different purposes by adjusting the water content, ranging from the strongest glue to liquid that assists in gluing.

As for why Zhou Lu knew this, it all started with the news about a guy who bought the wrong product for entertainment and ended up being admitted to the hospital in an indecent posture.

Zhou Lu's thoughts quickly returned to reality because the system prompt sounded at this moment.

[Optional Task 5: Kill Li Yi]

[Task Introduction: Li Yi, the future president of Xin'an Biotechnology Company, provided Zhou Lu with a large amount of spiritual beast technology after getting to know him, and was one of his assistants on his growth path. Killing him may hinder Zhou Lu's rapid rise.]

[Task Reward: 2 Random Permanent Skill Cards (Grade B) for Tamers, 1 Random One-time Skill Card for Tamers]

Another assistant of mine.

No, where do I get so many noble people?

When Zhou Lu saw the system task, he silently complained in his heart.

"We are all classmates, so there should be no need for me to introduce ourselves, right?" Xu Wuhu saw the two of them looking at each other and laughed, "I didn't expect you to come here. I was planning to contact you."

"Contact me?" Zhou Lu asked doubtfully.

"Training." Xu Wuhu said, "Exams are a team sport. Although I can help you pass the exams by myself, you will only get passing credits. There are only two chances a year to pass exams and earn credits. It would be a pity to miss them. You have to try your best."

It is estimated that in the entire Combat Squad 3, only Xu Wuhu dares to say that he is the only one who can help them pass the exam.

But looking carefully at himself and Li Yi, if nothing unexpected happens, it seems that they really need Xu Wuhu's help to pass this exam.

His own Fireworks is a plant-type spirit beast that cannot leave the soil before reaching the second level, and Li Yi's sticky baby is not much better than Fireworks.

Among the spirit beasts, Sticky Baby is also notoriously slow in movement.

Wild species of sticky babies are standard ambush hunters. They often stick the surrounding fallen leaves and dirt on their bodies for camouflage, and catch passing insects by spitting out mucus, so they don't need to be able to move quickly at all.

The spirit pets of his two teammates are the type that need to be held by their owners in order to move quickly. Putting himself in Xu Wuhu's perspective, Zhou Lu himself felt the pressure of passing the level suddenly increase.

Snapped!
Just as Zhou Lu was analyzing the situation of the team, the sound of fireworks hitting leaves interrupted his thoughts.

Huahuo raised her head and spread out her leaves very seriously, declaring her presence to Zhou Lu.

The master has been staring at that pink ball since just now. This is absolutely not okay!
I am very cute too!
