Chapter 34

The reward!

To be looking for him at this time, the principal must be asking him to choose his prop reward.

Lin Yu immediately got up and headed to the principal’s office.

Ye Wenqian didn’t accompany him. She greeted Lin Yu and went to class.

This was his second time going to the principal’s office though, so Lin Yu was already very familiar with the way.

He walked with a cheerful pace, some anticipation in his heart as he wondered what kind of props they would have.

“Bang, bang, bang”, he knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Ouyang Rui’s voice sounded particularly carefree.

Lin Yu pushed the door open. Ouyang Rui was the only one in the principal’s office this time.

There was also a pet in humanoid form. It was about two meters tall, with green skin and muscles that were as solid as steel. It had a ferocious face and a pair of protruding fangs. A huge wooden hammer hung from his waist.

[Name: Camouflage Wood Troll]

[Attributes: Combat, wood]

[Rank: Heavenly reflection realm]

[Potential: Four stars]

[Description: A brutal creature with infinite strength. It also has the ability to control the wood attribute. It likes to build a wooden shed and sleep under it. ]

“A troll?” Lin Yu said in surprise.

He finally saw another humanoid pet beast except for Xiaozi.

Unlike Xiaozi’s elegance, this pet beast exuded strength and violence.

Lin Yu moved closer to it.

He could understand the combat attribute. Some pets that were good at close-range combat had this attribute.

The other attribute was something he could not understand.

A wood attribute troll?

If there had to be a second attribute, shouldn’t it be lightning or fire?

At the very least, those two would be more suitable for such a violent creature…

The principal held a cup of tea and looked at Lin Yu with a smile.

The troll stood there obediently, not as rough as described in the illustrated handbook.

“Principal, is this your pet beast? It’s my first time seeing other humanoid pet beasts,” Lin Yu asked curiously.

“Yeah, but in terms of potential, he’s definitely not as good as your Fallen Angel,” Ouyang Rui sighed.

“Do you want some tea?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the troll moved.

It dragged its huge body, walked to the table, and made a cup of tea for Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was dumbfounded by the scene. To think such a violent pet beast had been trained to be a tea boy. It was such a waste.

But then he remembered that he also asked Xiaozi to do the dishes… Ahem.

“Thank you,” Lin Yu took the tea.

He took a whiff, and the fragrance was overflowing. He raised his head and gulped it down.

“Principal, can we choose the prop now?” Lin Yu put down the cup.

Ouyang Rui couldn’t help but laugh, “Young people these days are so impatient. The props aren’t here.”

“Then where are they?” Lin Yu asked curiously.

“In the back mountain.”

“Huh? How come I didn’t see them during the meet that day?” Lin Yu was suspicious.

If there was really a pile of props hidden in the back mountain, he, the Great Demon King, had no reason to let them go.

“Haha, that place is more hidden. It’s at the foot of the mountain. Ordinary people won’t be able to find it,” The principal smiled.

“Then shall we leave now?” Lin Yu wanted to fast-forward the conversation.

“There’s no rush, we can go there directly from here,” Ouyang Rui stood up, removed a few books on the shelf, and pressed a certain spot.

Rays of silver light formed a spell array under their feet, dazzling and mesmerizing.

“What is this?” Lin Yu looked at the silver fluctuations under his feet and had a guess in his heart.

“A spatial teleportation array that leads directly to the back mountain,” Ouyang Rui looked at Lin Yu with a smile, waiting for him to be shocked.

“Oh,” Lin Yu nodded.

Ouyang Rui raised his brows and couldn’t help but ask, “You’re not surprised at all? This should be the first time you’ve seen it, right?”

Lin Yu smiled indifferently.

It was just a spatial teleportation array. Even if he had not seen it before, he had long read about it. After all, he had not read so many novels in his previous life for nothing.

However, pet beasts of the space attribute were really useful. They could save all the effort of walking… He wondered if he could get a space attribute pet beast from the handbook.

Lin Yu suddenly wanted a “tool pet” like this.

“Space attribute pet beasts are very rare. Even I haven’t seen one before,” Ouyang Rui said with emotion.

“I’ve seen one before,” Lin Yu cleared his throat.

Didn’t An Yuan have one at home?

Ouyang Rui almost spat out a mouthful of tea. He took a deep look at Lin Yu.

The spell array began to move rhythmically, and Lin Yu felt a layer of invisible power covering his body. It was a wonderful feeling.

The surrounding scenery was changing rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared in a new place.

The atmosphere suddenly became gloomy and quiet. Even the sky seemed to have darkened.

A group of crows flew past, letting out shrill cries.

Lin Yu looked around and saw tombstones standing in front of him.

“Is this a cemetery?” He said in surprise.

The school hid the props here?

”

The school’s ancestors are sleeping in this cemetery. There are the principals of each batch and great teachers,” Ouyang Rui took a step forward.

His mood seemed to have become much heavier.

“Umm, is the death rate of teachers or principals in our school very high?” Lin Yu gulped.

The school had only been established for a hundred years, right? Was he telling him that so many people had died? Which black demon king’s curse were they under?

“This world is not as safe as those of you who live in an ivory tower think it is,” Ouyang Rui walked in front, “The peace you have now is built on the sacrifice of many.”

Lin Yu followed behind, deep in thought.

The principal’s words had an underlying meaning, but he hated riddles the most. They made his heart itch.

“But that’s all in the past. It’s much more peaceful now,” Ouyang Rui stopped, “I’m having a very relaxed time as the principal now anyway. I’m planning to retire in a few years…”

“Then, principal, where should we go to choose the props?” Lin Yu quickly interrupted the other party to stop him from continuing to jinx his future.

“Look, isn’t this it?” Ouyang Rui pointed at a tombstone nearby.

In front of the tombstone, a strange mask was glowing with fluorescent light, looking quite eerie.

“This is an item left behind by a teacher. It’s called Hypocrite.”

“I see. The props that the principal was talking about are the relics of these ancestors?” Lin Yu suddenly understood.

He looked around the entire cemetery. There were so many tombstones. How many props were there?

He suddenly felt his mouth go dry and his heart burn with desire.

“This item is made from the skin of a pet beast that has the ability to transform. You can change your appearance as you wish when you wear it,” Ouyang Rui introduced the item to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu’s eyes narrowed.

Here it was! A necessary face-changing prop for the main characters in novels.

However, he wasn’t too interested.

He, Lin Yu, had always been upright and honest, so there was no need for him to change his appearance.

In other words, there were too many restrictions for the prop.

If it only changed his face, what about his body shape? What about his fingerprints and iris?

Although the technology in this world was not as developed, the most basic detection equipment was still available.

Such a prop would only be useful in some ancient worlds…

“Can I look at the others?”

“Feel free to do so,” Ouyang Rui pointed at the shiny necklace in front of the tombstone next to the one they were looking at, “This is a prop left behind by a principal. It’s called Instant Starlight.”
