Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets Chapter 74 - Returning with Huge Gains

Chapter 74: Returning with Huge Gains

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The advancement of the evolutionary stage was the most direct and obvious way to increase a soul pet’s strength.

The increase through soul power cultivation was gradual and slow.

w.a.n.g Che patted the green caterpillar on the head.

To most soul pets, completing the third stage evolution was actually just the beginning.

The Aviation Cup meant setting sail or beginning their first flight.

The students were about to set sail and step into a brand new world.

The green caterpillar had to work hard.

“I didn’t mean that.” Chen Fei coughed, “By the way, how many Heart Rending Flowers did you get this time?”

The topic changed.

At this moment, Adjutant Li and Li Yanming walked over.

“Get in the car first and go back to the border.” Adjutant Li coughed, “It’s not suitable to spend the night here. I’ll send you back tomorrow morning.”

The group boarded the military off-road vehicle and drove towards the border.

“Heart Rending Flower? I don’t have many.” In the car, Bai Youyou chuckled, “There are only eight flowers. I should be last in the compet.i.tion.”

“I didn’t get many either.” Cheng Cheng shook her head. “I can count them on one hand. Hmm, there are exactly nine.”

“I have ten.” Chen Fei thought for a moment, “Feng Xiao from the Glory Capital should have the most. He didn’t speak much on the communication device, but according to the other contestants, there should be more than twenty flowers.”

“He’s probably the first place.”

“Him again?” Bai Youyou frowned and said, “Is this guy that powerful? I’m always careful in the Floating Forest. I only go to the next location after confirming the safety of the surroundings. Every flower is very difficult.”

“Glory Capital is a large city of the West Peak Continent’s provincial capital. To be able to obtain the Enlightenment Cup, its value is not something other cities can compare to,” Cheng Cheng said. “His strength is naturally higher than other contestants.”

The three of them nodded in understanding.

“What about you, w.a.n.g Che?” Bai Youyou asked.

“Zero.”

“…”

The three of them had interesting expressions.

w.a.n.g Che did not care about the compet.i.tion.

Entering a mystic realm treasure land like the Floating Forest was naturally to explore other things and find treasures that were suitable for him.

It was very troublesome to deal with those Heart Rending Ants, so w.a.n.g Che did not want to waste time on those Heart Rending Flowers.

If he really went for them, w.a.n.g Che estimated that he would not have the time to find other treasures.

For example, the remnant soul will, the jumping gra.s.s, the Soul Calming Fruit, the two stones that contained life force, and the ancient soul device…

More than half of them would not be his, let alone what happened next.

w.a.n.g Che’s goal in coming to the Floating Forest was very clear.

Therefore, he did not care about the compet.i.tion at all.

On the other hand, other than a large sum of money, the rewards for the compet.i.tion were only good cultivation resources and military soul devices.

The green caterpillar did not lack anything now. He just needed to develop steadily.

Of course, there was also the reputation and glory of the first place in the compet.i.tion.

There was a certain bonus point for the college entrance examination. There was an additional bonus when choosing a suitable soul pet university.

This was the greatest reward.

However, w.a.n.g Che felt that these were not important.

“I understand now. w.a.n.g Che, you don’t care about the compet.i.tion at all.” Bai Youyou nodded, “You’re really cool, but not to mention the 500,000 dollars and a bunch of resources, the first place in the compet.i.tion can add bonus points to the college entrance examination. The top universities in the war zone will also specially recruit you.”

“Geniuses don’t need any bonus points,” w.a.n.g Che said. “As for universities, to geniuses, we’re the ones who choose them, not the other way around.”

The three of them: “…”

“That makes sense,” Chen Fei nodded in agreement.

“Alright…” Bai Youyou chuckled,” Are we too narrow-minded? “

“That’s true. Anyway, there’s no punishment for falling behind in the compet.i.tion. Instead of wasting time dealing with the Heart Rending Ant and obtaining the Heart Rending Flower, why not spend time finding other good things?”

Even so, they still valued the compet.i.tion.

The group chatted as they returned to the border.

Then, they slept for the entire night.

The next morning.

“Before leaving, we calculated your ranking in the two compet.i.tions for this Wilderness Soul Earth exploration.”

Adjutant Li looked at the energetic people and coughed a few times. He said seriously, “Actually, our military organized these two compet.i.tions for you newbies to see your comprehensive quality.”

“You’ve partic.i.p.ated in the Enlightenment Cup and are all champions. You have a certain understanding of soul pet battles. However, soul pet battles are entertainment compet.i.tions built on a certain set of rules. However, exploring the Wilderness Soul Earth will be life-threatening.”

“Once there are battles, there are no rules to speak of.”

“After this exploration, I believe you all have acc.u.mulated some experience. When you encounter difficulties in the future, you can deal with them more calmly.”

“The following are your overall rankings.”

“Of course, there are differences in ranking, but there are no differences in the acc.u.mulated experience.”

“Therefore, no matter how bad the ranking is, there’s no need to be discouraged.”

“The ranking will be recorded in your student records. It is also the first honor to be recorded in the war zone before you became Contract Soul Masters.”

The few of them nodded. Adjutant Li’s words touched them.

The records of war zones would be recorded in the Eastern War Zone.

Similar to historical records, in XX year, XX month, XX day, a certain student won a XX ranking in the compet.i.tion to explore the Wilderness Soul Earth.

They would leave it for future generations to judge.

Of course, the students were more concerned about the actual reward and bonus points.

“Chen Fei, 18th place in the first compet.i.tion, 19th place in the second compet.i.tion, 18th place overall.”

“Bai Youyou, 20th place in the first compet.i.tion, 21st place in the second compet.i.tion, 20th place overall.”

“Cheng Cheng, 21st place in the first compet.i.tion, 20th place in the second compet.i.tion, 19th place overall.”

When the results were out, they had expected this to be the case.

They were both on par with each other.

At this moment, Adjutant Li coughed and continued,

“w.a.n.g Che, first place in the first compet.i.tion, first place in the second compet.i.tion, first place in the overall ranking.”

Adjutant Li closed the doc.u.ment.

“The rankings have been announced. You can go and receive your rewards.”

Yet, the three of them were stunned.

???

w.a.n.g Che stood where he was and pondered.

“Wait, Adjutant Li? Did I hear wrongly?” Bai Youyou was stunned, “I remember w.a.n.g Che didn’t even get a single Heart Rending Flower in the second compet.i.tion, right? How did he get first place?”

The other two were also very puzzled.

“Because Student w.a.n.g a.s.sisted Officer Li in the Soul Earth and resolved a special matter, the military gave him an additional 50 Heart Rending Flowers as a reward. He is ranked first.”

After hearing this news, the three of them gasped.

Was this considered official cheating?

Impressive.

w.a.n.g Che: “…”

This…

w.a.n.g Che glanced at Adjutant Li and nodded, implying that it was the decision of the higher-ups.

w.a.n.g Che said, “This… isn’t this a little unfair to other contestants… I really didn’t expect to be first in the compet.i.tion.”

The three of them immediately nodded. They could tell that w.a.n.g Che was completely uninterested in these two compet.i.tions…

He could still get first place?

No, why did these words hurt…

“There’s no such thing as unfairness. The fundamental goal of the compet.i.tion is to test your comprehensive quality.”

Adjutant Li shook his head, “Be it the Heart Rending Flower or the exploration time, they are all just to prove your comprehensive quality. However, what you did already proves that your comprehensive quality far exceeds theirs.”

These words made the three of them very curious.

What did w.a.n.g Che do in the Floating Forest?

“Then I won’t refuse,” w.a.n.g Che did not argue.

“In this situation, I can only say this: awesome.” Bai Youyou blushed and said, probably shocked and excited by this news, “I reckon that Feng Xiao is so angry. He should have been first in both compet.i.tions, but in the end… he became second.”

“This is fate.” Chen Fei pinched his chin and said with a dark expression.

“To be able to get first place like this… I’ve really learned something.” Cheng Cheng had a strange expression on her face, “Are geniuses just not ordinary?”

w.a.n.g Che asked directly, “Adjutant Li, what are the uses of those Heart Rending Flowers?”

“Oh? You’re sharp enough…” Adjutant Li was stunned and said with a smile, “The Heart Rending Flower is indeed useful. The Heart Rending Flower is the main material to concoct a special medicinal liquid. According to the Heart Rending Flower you obtained yourselves, our military Contract Soul Masters will refine an equivalent amount of medicinal liquid for you. “

“This medicinal liquid can increase your soul pet’s soul power cultivation. Consider it a reward.”

“I thought you were going to take it back.” Bai Youyou was greatly surprised and delighted.

“Anything you obtain in the Soul Earth is yours. The essence of the Soul Earth exploration is to increase your overall quality and strength and help you grow,” Adjutant Li said. “If we take back the items, what’s the point of this Soul Earth exploration?”

“Alright, go and get your respective rewards. After you’re done, you can return to your respective cities.”

Chen Fei and the other two immediately followed the three soldiers to the back area and named their rewards.

w.a.n.g Che stood still.

“Student w.a.n.g, you’re not going?” Adjutant Li asked.

w.a.n.g Che hugged the green caterpillar and said, “Officer Li, do you have a Contract Soul Master called Xue Ling here?”

Adjutant Li said, “Why are you asking?”

w.a.n.g Che said, “That person was one of the Contract Soul Masters who went to save me back then, right?”

Adjutant Li was silent for a few seconds before nodding, “Yes.”

w.a.n.g Che continued to ask, “How is he?”

This time, Adjutant Li did not speak.

w.a.n.g Che did not ask further and said, “I won’t take the rewards. Just give them to the Contract Soul Masters who went to save me and their soul pets. I only know Xue Ling. As for the rest, you can split them accordingly.”

With that, he carried the green caterpillar and walked to the off-road vehicle that had been waiting for a long time.

Adjutant Li was stunned for a long time. His eyes lit up as he looked at the off-road vehicle ahead. He clenched his fist and his body trembled as if he was holding something back.

Suddenly…

“F*ck!”

Adjutant Li wiped his eyes, “Senior Yanming is right. This kid is too f*cking good at posturing! I can’t even hold it in anymore.”

After a while, Chen Fei and the other two carried their things and walked over.

Adjutant Li tidied up and returned to normal.

“Eh, Adjutant Li, why did w.a.n.g Che leave? Didn’t he take the reward?” Bai Youyou asked curiously, “For first place, there are so many good things…”

“I don’t think one person can take everything alone,” Cheng Cheng thought.

Adjutant Li shook his head and said, “He didn’t want anything.”

The three of them were stunned and confused.

“He didn’t want anything?” Chen Fei scratched his head, confused, “Why not?”

Adjutant Li looked into the distance and said, “He distributed them all to the Contract Soul Masters and their soul pets who went to save him yesterday…”

The three of them were stunned on the spot. While they were shocked, they felt enlightened.

They looked at the back of the off-road vehicle and could vaguely see w.a.n.g Che’s figure.

“I suddenly feel that he’s really handsome.” Bai Youyou looked ahead with a fleeting gaze, “He’s the kind of handsome that I can’t describe.”

The other two nodded heavily at the same time, their eyes following the off-road vehicle… They were silent for a moment.

…

In the car.

“Student w.a.n.g, I haven’t seen you for two days. Your experience in the Wilderness Soul Earth was smooth, right? However, why did you return empty-handed?” The driver of Dino Technology smiled and asked.

However, w.a.n.g Che smiled and said, “No, I came back with huge gains.”

The staff laughed.

The off-road vehicle sped away and quickly disappeared at the end of the forest road…
