Ye Bai’s gaze fell on his pristine and elegant deskmate, Li Weiyang, a name indeed fitting for her.
In ancient times, Weiyang Palace was the emperor’s grand main palace, symbolizing eternal royal power, absence of calamity, longevity, and immortality.
Since young, Li Weiyang held ambitions to rise swiftly through the ranks, aiming to become a peerless talent among men.
She had exquisite features, with every detail perfectly arranged; her eyes were deep and bright, as if capable of perceiving human hearts.
Her skin was fair as jade, smooth and delicate, seemingly able to squeeze out water, and her long legs along with her golden ratio figure drew attention wherever she went.
Li Weiyang’s smile was radiant and charming, continuously bringing warmth and joy to those around her.
She had been the reigning number one on Shen Mountain Middle School’s three-year school belle ranking, hailed as the most beautiful in the school’s history.
The image of an aspirational and genius research girl brought many halo effects to Li Weiyang, creating numerous benefits for her.
Only Ye Bai could see through the surface of this seemingly pure and unaffected little white flower to the essence of a predator behind the scenes.
Although the two sat beside each other as deskmates, they mutually held disdain for each other, yet did not disturb one another, even though Li Weiyang had never managed to surpass Ye Bai in exams.
After the awakening ceremony ended, Li Weiyang was surrounded by a circle of flattering individuals.
"Congratulations, President, you will be above everyone now, please take good care of us in the future."
"President, could you guide my pet beast evolution path in the future?"
"President, you’re really beautiful, your skin is so fair, which mask do you use?"
Li Weiyang glanced provocatively at Ye Bai, at this moment akin to a peacock displaying its feathers.
"Crazy woman!" Ye Bai rolled his eyes disdainfully.
The Eye of Insight talent, while rare, was still inferior to his daily intelligence system.
After all, this system could uncover many confidential intelligence, what was mere Eye of Insight in comparison?
Initially, Ye Bai’s reputation in the class was equally matched with Li Weiyang.
However, since he awakened this Unforgettable talent, he was cast aside by the others.
Because everyone knew that this talent had little practical use, the best scenario was to become a researcher staying in a laboratory.
If one were to go out to conquer new territories, it was almost impossible.
"Alright, those who’ve awakened talents, please follow me; we’re going to the Secret Realm to choose pet beasts."
"The school’s newly cultivated pet beasts have pretty good talents."
Zhang Lingxue raised her eyebrows, as only one-third of the total sixty students had awakened talents.
Those who couldn’t awaken talents were assigned to ordinary classes; they were already on a different level from students who had awakened talents.
The school’s Secret Realm was extracted by a powerful Pet Beast Master from his Pet Beast Space before his passing, utilizing a vast amount of Space Stones and through multiple expansions and efforts by successive principals, reaching its current scale.
Due to the sprawling size of the Secret Realm, traversing the entire area would take half an hour by car.
Homeroom teacher Zhang Lingxue donned a new outfit.
On her head was a white rabbit ear hat, with the ears constantly extending and contracting, appearing alive.
Zhang Lingxue took out a notebook and began to recommend suitable starter pet beasts she favored.
"Our school’s Secret Realm has expanded greatly over successive generations."
"Inside, numerous pet beasts are cultivated, and I have selected a few for everyone to consider."
Zhang Lingxue tapped a few times on the tablet on the school bus, and the projector displayed an image of a pet beast.
This particular pet beast was entirely white as jade, resembling a large silkworm with two small horns on its head, looking utterly harmless.
"This is the Hundred-Change Silkworm, also the subject of my research, and a primary pet beast of Shen Mountain Middle School." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel※fire.net
"It almost has no attack power, with silk-spinning skill as its only means of attack."
"The silk-spinning skill feels more like scratching an itch than causing any real harm."
"However, its defense is very strong; you can choose this pet beast as a transition during the early stage."
"Due to the instability in the genes of the Hundred-Change Silkworm, you can also study its evolutionary direction."
"Known evolutionary paths for the Hundred-Change Silkworm include Gray Poison Moth, Light Goddess Butterfly, Illusory Water Butterfly, Flame Butterfly, and Wood Elf."
"If anyone discovers a sixth evolutionary path for the Hundred-Change Silkworm and publishes it with reproducibility and stability, they can earn the Intermediate Researcher qualification granted by the Flame Country Alliance."
After introducing the Hundred-Change Silkworm, Zhang Lingxue tapped the tablet again, producing a tapping sound.
Another projection emerged.
This was a fiery red rock, with very short limbs, covered in holes from which sparks emerged.
"This pet beast is called Blast Stone, usually residing in volcanic areas; its temperament is somewhat docile, but you need to cater to its whims, or it might teach you a lesson anytime."
"Initially, the explosive power of Blast Stone is weak, possessing only the rolling skill, but as you invest resources into growing it, its explosion range will become increasingly strong."
"Powerful Blast Stones can even produce explosion levels akin to rocket artillery."
"Its evolutionary path to Explosive Stone is very clear, and it can transform into a powerful pet beast in a relatively short time, so it’s worth cultivating."
The homeroom teacher then switched to another pet beast.
This was a pet beast resembling a little snowman, with a body like piled-up snowballs, two branches inserted upside-down into its body, and a carrot nose with black eyes.
Despite its seemingly haphazard snowman appearance, it was indeed a pet beast.
It’s an Ice Pet Beast; its carrot nose is rumored to be crunchy and sweet to eat.
Don’t be fooled by its appearance; it possesses multiple evolutionary paths, supposedly quite popular among girls.
Only the quantity of this pet beast is particularly sparse; even within the school’s Secret Realm, it’s quite rare.
"This pet beast called Little Snowball, everyone might be familiar with it, as it often appears on school forums."
"Its numbers are very limited, and its evolutionary path is exceptionally clear. This year the school has specifically opened two slots for acquiring Little Snowball."
"It’s worth cultivating as it can evolve into either a meat-shield Blizzard person or an attacker Ice Ball."
"Due to the shortage, Little Snowball chooses its owner rather than being chosen."
At this point, someone cheekily raised their hand and asked Zhang Lingxue, "Teacher, if Little Snowball doesn’t choose anyone, can we freely select it?"
Zhang Lingxue rolled her eyes, "I’ve said it’s a reverse choice; if none are chosen, it means none are favored by Little Snowball, naturally it’s not happening."
