Chapter 98: Chapter 98: The Tragic Goldy

At this moment, David Jones felt extremely conflicted.
However, he couldn’t say that he regretted his decision.
After all, Rosewood College, as the holy land for Pharmacists in the country, would definitely have a top-notch elixir like the Star-Condensing Elixir.
He just felt a bit regretful for missing out on such an opportunity.
“If I just nod my head and don’t go to Dragonsoar Academy to enroll, can I take this elixir away?”
David Jones was silent for a moment, and then tentatively asked.
Stan Dragonjoy’s face suddenly stiffened, as his earlier offer to nod was not meant in this way.
“As long as you come with me to Dragonsoar Academy to enroll right now, this Star-Condensing Elixir will be yours,” he explained, emphasizing every word. Are you kidding? If he dared to give away the Star-Condensing Elixir just like that, his uncle would beat him half to death when he returned.
“Enroll right now?” David Jones asked dubiously.
“That’s right. This is this year’s enrollment letter. With your current strength, continuing to study in senior high school would be a waste of time.”
Stan Dragonjoy looked at the Rainbow floating in the air, his eyes full of admiration.
After hesitating for a moment, David Jones took a deep breath, and said in a relaxed tone, “Sorry, my goal is still Rosewood College.”
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Stan Dragonjoy’s face, as if David Jones’ refusal was unexpected.
“Don’t you want to reconsider?”
“Sorry.”
Stan Dragonjoy’s face showed a hint of regret and bitterness.
Was Rosewood College really that great?
There were actually Trainers who could resist the temptation of the Star-Condensing Elixir.
Watching Stan Dragonjoy’s disappearing figure, a trace of regret flashed in David Jones’ eyes.
The Dragonsoar Academy, which was famous for its Dragon-Type Pet Beasts, had never been within his selection range, since it would be too easy to expose his Second Talent.
Unlike other Training universities, most of the Trainers who entered Dragonsoar Academy had contracted Dragon-Type Pet Beasts.
With his strong affinity for the Dragon-Type, he estimated that he would be exposed in a few days at the academy.
Although being one of the Five Greats, Rosewood College would also have this possibility, as long as there weren’t too many Dragon-Type Pet Beasts, he could still cover it up.
“Forget it, there’s no use thinking too much. The most important thing now is to break through to Class III of my Arcane Star,” David Jones closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.
On the other side, Stan Dragonjoy looked at the cellphone in his hand, his expression constantly changing. In the end, he gritted his teeth and directly dialed his uncle’s number.
*beep-beep-beep…*
“Hello, what’s the result?” Elijah Dragonjoy asked curiously.
Stan Dragonjoy couldn’t help but swallow his own saliva, and then closed his eyes, saying in a low voice, “Teacher, David Jones refused. His target college is Rosewood College.”
“Even if I took out the Star-Condensing Elixir, he still refused!”
“Rosewood College? Indeed, it’s a good school.” Elijah Dragonjoy sighed as if he didn’t mind David Jones’ refusal at all.
Hearing his words, cold sweat suddenly broke out on Stan Dragonjoy’s forehead.
He knew his teacher’s disposition all too well and realized that this time, his teacher was truly angry!
“Since the enrollment failed, the Star-Condensing Elixir will be given to you. I only have one request: do not disappoint me in next year’s National College Competition.”
*beep-beep-beep…*
“Is this a blessing in disguise?” Looking at the disconnected phone, a trace of excitement gradually appeared on Stan Dragonjoy’s face.
Dragonsoar Academy, Vice-President’s office.
Looking at the Black Dragon totem on the wall, a glimmer of desire and hope flashed across Elijah Dragonjoy’s eyes.
“As long as the teacher takes that crucial step, the so-called Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five will quickly become the Big Six!”
Upon saying this, Elijah Dragonjoy couldn’t help but look towards the distant Mountain Tigrex, where his teacher was in seclusion.
In the evening, David Jones, who was shopping for high-quality staple food for his pets, suddenly received a notice from the Waterland Trainer Guild.
“Longriver City Dungeon, which has been delayed, is now open for reservation to Trainers within Sunbeam Province. Those who wish to explore can click here to sign up for the assessment. Those who pass the assessment will be granted access to explore the Dungeon. Resources obtained, other than pets, will be solely owned by the individual.”
David Jones looked at the familiar message displayed on his phone, pondering. Wasn’t this Longriver City’s Class III Dungeon supposed to be open earlier? How come it got postponed until now?
“Could it be that the Guild suffered too many casualties exploring the dungeon, and now they’re recruiting cannon fodder?” David Jones couldn’t help but guess.
“Meow.” (I’m hungry!)
Daphne whispered softly.
David Jones quickly checked the time on his phone, nodding; it was indeed a bit late!
“Just hang on a bit, I’ll prepare your dinner,” David Jones gently soothed them before heading straight for the kitchen.
As for the Longriver City Dungeon message he just saw, he completely put it out of his mind.
Longriver City was not far from Waterland City, requiring only a two-hour train ride. Still, he had no plan of heading to Longriver City’s Dungeon.
After all, he didn’t lack pet resources now, and there was no need to risk his own safety. It was more comfortable to stay at home and cultivate.
At dinner time
In front of David Jones was a plate of tomato scrambled eggs and chili stir-fried meat.
Meanwhile, an assortment of pet resources was placed on the dining table for the three pets, such as Rainbow’s Purple Herb, Lolo’s Evergreen Stalactites, Daphne’s Fire Arcane Crystals, and Spirit Fish.
Not long after they started eating, Rainbow swallowed the Purple Herb in front of her and looked at David Jones with hopeful eyes.
“We still have to wait a while; the Medium-sized Tiger isn’t grilled yet!” David Jones said with a smile.
Every time, it seemed that Rainbow and Daphne preferred eating his secret grilled fish over Purple Herbs and Fire Arcane Crystals.
The grilled fish was just a snack for them, not even able to increase their
Arcane Force by a bit.
“It’s fine; we can wait!” Rainbow conveyed through telepathy.
“Meow!” o( V )o (I want grilled fish too!)
Daphne’s eyes sparkled, and she began eating faster.
“This time, the grilled fish is large enough, so would you like to try some?” David Jones turned to look at Lolo.
It was weird; last time, the little guy saw Rainbow and Daphne enjoying themselves, and he shared his portion with them.
“Chirp!” (—V—)~* (Sure, but I want to eat that one!)
Following Lolo’s gaze, David Jones noticed Goldy, who was blowing bubbles in its huge fish tank.
As if aware of David Jones’s gaze, Goldy excitedly waved its tail, and its scales shone with golden light, like silk.
“No, Goldy is your future companion,” David Jones said, holding his forehead with his hand, somewhat speechlessly.
How could they all be like this? What kind of charm did Goldy have that made both Rainbow and you unable to forget about it?
Lolo’s eyes dimmed slightly before an excited smile appeared on his face.
“Chirp!” ( V *) (I’ll try the grilled fish too!)
Seeing this, David Jones couldn’t help but show a gratified smile.
That’s right, Goldy’s body is so small; how much meat can it have?
Not to mention his reluctance, even if they grilled Goldy, the meat on its body wouldn’t be enough for the three of them to fill up their teeth gaps!!!
