On the red rune circle, lights kept flashing, and within a moment, several trainers’ figures appeared.
“David Jones!”
Oswald Maud, who has just stepped out of the entrance, saw David near the base and his eyes lit up. He directly quickened his pace and walked over.
David, hearing someone calling his name, curiously looked towards the source of the sound. There stood a cultured young man wearing gold rimmed glasses. “You came out so late; it seems like you had a good harvest in the dungeon!” David said with a smile.
“Not bad, my Thunder Lion luckily succeeded in leveling up!” Oswald’s face broke into a smile, and he spoke very contentedly.
After reaching level X of the Fresh phase, pets enter a long potential period. During this time, pets need to learn various skills that match their type to uncover the hidden potential in their bodies, thus breaking through to the next stage naturally.
Being able to train his pet to Fresh Level X within such a short time, he was already very satisfied!
“Congratulations!” There was a hint of envy in David’s eyes, followed by a beaming smile.
Life is unpredictable!
Just three days ago, his pet Rainbow was a Coldjade Snake at Fresh Level X.
Now, Rainbow had become a powerful existence at lower-level Class II.
The speed at which Rainbow had advanced during these three days was something he couldn’t have dreamed of!
“Why didn’t you explore the dungeon with Margaret Yule?” Oswald raised an eyebrow, speaking teasingly.
Earlier on the bus, in order not to disturb the two, he hadn’t even greeted them.
“You misunderstood, we’re just friends.” David replied, suddenly feeling puzzled, and then he helplessly explained.
Having or not having something, it’s best to be clear about these kinds of emotional matters.
“I see, just friends.” Oswald laughed and echoed casually, with a skeptical expression on his face.
He didn’t believe that there could be pure friendships between men and women. So-called friends could eventually become girlfriends!
David glanced indifferently at the young man in front of him and didn’t plan to continue explaining.
Looks really can be deceiving; this seemingly handsome and cultured young man turned out to be so gossipy.
“David Jones!”
Speak of the devil, and she appears: Margaret Yule suddenly appeared beside them.
“What are you guys doing standing here? Aren’t you going to go inside and rest for a while?” Margaret looked puzzled, looking at their faces.
Seeing Margaret suddenly appear, Oswald’s expression froze. He thought to himself: “When did she come? She shouldn’t have heard my teasing words.” “Ahem!”
Oswald couldn’t help but cough twice. Wiping the cold sweat that appeared on his forehead, he changed the subject: “My pet just advanced to Fresh Level X, and I wanted to have a battle with David. Right, David?”
Facing Oswald’s plea for help, David shook his head helplessly: “I don’t think a battle would work, as Rainbow just advanced in the dungeon!”
At this moment, David’s plain words were like a bolt of lightning in Margaret’s and Oswald’s ears.
“You’ve advanced? Are you a monster?” Oswald’s gaze was fixed on David, disbelief in his dry and hoarse voice.
As the son of Waterland Trainer Guild Master, Oswald had always believed that
he was among the best novice trainers in Waterland City.
He was also convinced that he would be the one to carry the mantle in Waterland City’s future!
That was until he had met David in the qualifier tournament, a memorable defeat that had him taste failure for the first time in his life!
Failure wasn’t terrible; he had enough confidence to catch up.
But today, upon learning that David’s Rainbow had advanced, although he was still unwilling to accept it, he truly had no choice but to admit defeat!
“Indeed a monster!” Margaret, standing next to him, nodded empathetically, unable to hide her smile on her delicate face.
As expected, her instincts were still so accurate, and her choice was not wrong.
If even David couldn’t enter the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five, then no other trainers in Waterland City stood a chance!
Seeing the astonishment on the two people’s faces, David smiled slightly.
Even though he knew they had misunderstood, David had no intention of clarifying.
Whether Rainbow was Class I or II, this wasn’t his ultimate goal, and it wasn’t worth showing off.
On the bus back to the city, David looked at Margaret sitting next to him, a trace of hesitance in his eyes.
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Margaret touched her cheek, showing a trace of confusion.
“It’s not that, I have a question that I can’t quite figure out.” David stared at her small face, speaking naturally.
Margaret glanced at the Star Ring on David’s hand, blinked her clear eyes and whispered, “What question?”
“I want to know why you sold this to me.” David showed Margaret the initial level Star Ring on his finger that weighed heavily.
Although they had already settled the payment, the price of 250,000 Star coins was just too cheap!
”1 wanted to make friends with you.” Margaret’s star-like eyes flickered as she turned her head to look out the window.
“Are we friends? How can I help you then?” David asked candidly.
Even if Margaret was a rich woman, her Star coins didn’t come from the wind! She must have her reasons for doing this.
“Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for my friends!” Margaret turned
her head, her eyes sincerely looking into David’s.
“As for the rest, I’ll talk about it after you are admitted to the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five.”
Upon hearing this, David was slightly stunned, and then a confident smile appeared on his face.
“Alright, we’ll talk about it then.”
As if sensing David’s full confidence, the smile on Margaret’s face grew more expectant.
The bus slowly stopped at the Trainer’s Square.
After bidding farewell to the two, David looked towards the Trainer’s Tower not far away.
His Arcane Star and Rainbow’s strength had currently reached the Class II standard, which perfectly met the certification requirements for Junior Trainers.
Unlike Primary Trainers, Junior Trainers enjoy additional guild allowances, with a monthly subsidy of 50,000 Star coins.
Of course, this subsidy wasn’t given for nothing!
Junior Trainers must complete at least one Guild task per month to receive the subsidy.
As for the Star coin rewards, David wasn’t too concerned about them. He was more focused on the increased privileges after advancing as a trainer.
The higher the trainer’s authority, the more pet information and resources they can exchange at the Trainer Guild through Contribution Points.
So David planned to bring Rainbow to participate in the Guild’s assessment and certification next.
While updating his pet’s information, he would also test Rainbow’s approximate strength..
