Invitation

Qin Ming was unaware of the inspector's shock; he was delighted by Keda's extraordinary potential, which allowed him to make a breakthrough in such a short time.

Of course, I was also amazed at how ruthless the Spirit Master Association was. Keda had already said that the outside world made him feel irritable, so it would be strange if the Spirit Master Association hadn't added some special ingredients!

No wonder that after a normal contract, the spirit beast and the spirit master would develop a good impression of each other. Under normal circumstances, things would never have turned out like this.

Finally, Qin Ming panicked a little. After all, the wooden target being tested had exploded. Would that be considered damaging public equipment?

This wooden target doesn't look like a disposable item. Should we compensate for it?

Qin Ming, who was short of money, was somewhat sensitive to this matter.

Of course, this is absolutely not Keda's fault!

Qin Ming patted the somewhat bewildered Keda reassuringly, "You did a great job!"

"Quack~" (The duck is relieved)

Could it be that the Spirit Master Association is trying to extort money? Qin Ming felt it was hard to say…

"Alright, stop overthinking it!" The inspector snapped out of his daze. "In order to give young spirit beasts more care and encouragement, the association can't set up a target that can't be hit at all."

But even normal wouldn't be this bad! The inspector thought to himself, "That's the second half of what I'm saying."

"Your test has been completed, but some information needs to be verified. Please wait a moment."

Since the matter of compensation wasn't mentioned, Qin Ming felt relieved.

It was just verifying information; it was no big deal. Qin Ming felt quite at ease.

At this moment, Qin Ming was also somewhat relieved. Luckily, he hadn't waited until he had formed a contract with Little Fatty before coming, otherwise things could have gotten much more complicated...

However, Qin Ming seemed to remember something soon. After a brief silence, he looked at the seemingly relaxed inspector in front of him and asked, "Um... excuse me, can array crystals be sold? Where can I buy them?"

After confirming he hadn't misheard, the inspector was somewhat puzzled: "Your own spirit beast is so good, how come you don't take good care of it?"

Qin Ming realized he had been misunderstood and quickly explained, "I have a good talent for array formations, and I still have quite a bit left over after feeding my own spirit beasts."

Qin Ming wasn't one to show off, so he spoke relatively subtly.

"Oh, I see." The inspector understood. "You can post ads for them on the association forum, but basic array crystals aren't worth much, so we don't recommend spending your time and energy on them in the early stages!"

No wonder Qin Ming didn't learn anything about buying and selling array crystals at school; it turns out his version was ahead of its time.

"I was referring to the intermediate-level array crystallization." Qin Ming felt that the official personnel were trustworthy, so he spoke frankly.

But the inspector disconnected. "You, a mid-level array crystal? How is that possible?!"

Qin Ming realized that his version might be a bit too advanced, and jokingly explained, "Maybe it's just that I have a special talent?"

The inspector narrowed his eyes, "You think I believe you for a second!"

"You have a talent for mental abilities, don't you? Remember to conceal it a little next time, but with such extraordinary talent, it's probably impossible to hide it anyway."

As the inspector spoke, his expression turned strange. He really was a gifted genius, absolutely amazing!

But Qin Ming was puzzled. When did I acquire such talent?

How come I didn't know?

Seeing the inspector's confident expression, Qin Ming felt he was almost convinced.

Well, I must say, my mental strength seems to be increasing rather quickly lately.

Hmm? Is the normal growth of mental strength this fast?

Qin Ming sensed something amiss upon further reflection…

Because there was no reference point, Qin Ming initially thought it was an improvement brought about by a sudden enlightenment, coupled with his recent irregular sleep schedule and constant drowsiness... but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through...

Sigh, in short, it's all because of being drowsy that things went wrong.

Qin Ming didn't dwell on it; it was a good thing anyway.

With nothing else to do, Qian opened his communicator and sent a private message to Wang Yumo, "Have you completed the Beastmaster certification yet?"

Old Wang: "Of course! I'm a genius who completed the certification on the very first day."

Qin Ming thought about the large number of talented people still wandering around outside and realized that Wang Yumo wasn't exaggerating.

"How's your mental strength progressing? How long will it take to unlock the second contract slot?" Qin Ming felt that sometimes he needed someone his age to refer to.

Old Wang: ?

"Don't tell my buddy, you've completely lost your humanity!"

Old Wang couldn't wait for Qin Ming's reply and made a phone call immediately.

But Qin Ming didn't really want to answer and hung up.

Old Wang: ?

"Progress has been a bit stalled lately, so I was just asking," Qin Ming typed slowly.

Wang Yumo, who was cultivating his relationship with Keyun at home, suddenly took a deep breath on the spot.

"I felt like a breakthrough was just around the corner, but I got stuck, so I came to ask about the progress," Qin Ming explained slowly.

Wang Yumo felt he had breathed a sigh of relief too soon; he only felt a tightness in his chest. "If you can unlock your second contract slot within a month, universities across the country will come knocking on your door for you to choose from!"

"That makes sense," Qin Ming thought, his eyes lighting up.

Although he didn't know much about the major universities, after experiencing the benefits of condensing an intermediate-level spirit-gathering array, he realized one thing—

Once you reach a certain level of skill, some things will come to you without you having to worry about them.

After experiencing it, Qin Ming couldn't stop, feeling that he was very suitable for this kind of thing and planned to do it every day.

Therefore, Qin Ming sorted out his current tasks: try to open the second contract position within a month and strive for a university selection.

When Dada gets a little older, he can go to a martial arts school or dojo to train and learn new skills.

Very good, the goal is clear.

So, let's start with the first step: install software on the communicator to detect and identify the energy level of spirit beasts.

Qin Ming actually took out the communicator to do something serious in the first place, it's all Wang Yumo's fault for wasting time!

Installation complete, authentication information... failed!

Qin Ming looked at the inspector with some resentment. It had been 10 minutes and they still hadn't finished verifying the information. Had the certification passed?

Perhaps Qin Ming's resentment was so deep that even the inspector could sense it, because the inspector explained, "The information verification has been completed, but the official website's backend review process may take another 1-3 hours."

Okay, let's follow the procedure.

"When I become successful someday, I definitely want to experience the privileges of VIP access," Qin Ming thought to himself.

"Also, this is an invitation to the summer camp at Shanghai University. There's still a month left. I've sent you the detailed information through the back office. You can go back and consider it."

Qin Ming's eyes lit up. Look, this is practically delivered right to his doorstep!

With summer camp invitations like these, once you get a spot and don't cause any trouble during the camp, your spot is basically secured.

As for Shanghai University, one of the top universities in the country, Qin Ming had no complaints about it.

Qin Ming immediately felt that the 10-minute wait was well worth it. Maybe from now on, he should just follow the procedures; he didn't want to ask for any special privileges…

I don't need much, like today, a buy-one-get-one-free deal would be great...

Qin Ming felt relaxed and happy, and believed that happiness should be shared and passed on.

I immediately took a screenshot of the still-warm invitation and sent it to my friend Wang Yumo.

Lao Wang: Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ

Old Wang: "Old Qin, you really are no longer human... but... please take me with you! _(:з」∠)_"
