Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 260: Dragon Nation’s Treasure Vault (First Update)

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since the battle ended.

The popularity of the league was at its peak as netizens were discussing it fervently. Su Hao scrolled through his cell phone when he had nothing to do and watched others discuss things related to him. From time to time, he pretended to be an ordinary netizen and echoed, “Yes, yes, yes, he’s too awesome (broken voice)!”

Butterfly, Red Flame Qiongqi, and the other sprites were all on camera, but Su Hao was surprised to find out that his handsome face was rarely seen on the Internet.

It wasn’t just him as the others were the same. Yesterday, he walked around the streets of Dragon City and clearly heard people ‘calling him’ from time to time. When he turned around and looked, apart from the young ladies and aunties (delete) who were attracted to him, no one else recognized him.

“Maybe it’s what Mentor Ma had said. It looks high-profile on the surface, but it’s actually low-key?”

He knew the reason.

Every school needed to use the league as a platform to showcase their teaching results.

Dragon Nation needed to use the league’s live-stream to broadcast the profession of Sprite Trainers — since the cost of contracting and cultivating sprites had already decreased today, advertising was especially necessary.

And Sprite Universities were the best way for ordinary people and ordinary families to step into the world of Sprite Trainers.

But due to the presence of aliens and organizations like the Dark Society, the information confidentiality of the league students had been raised to a high level. In the eyes of the audience, only his name, school, grade, and sprites were on the Internet.

This prevented him from attracting the surprised cries of many young ladies, but he wasn’t a vulgar person either. He only participated in the league to swipe experience bags and get some rewards.

Now, he had also used the experience bags to upgrade the Dazed Crow to extraordinary level.

Dumb Unicorn was the only lacking sprite left.

“There’s no need to swipe the bags next year. Well, let me see what’s the reward first, alright?”

When he heard that the reward had been sent to his account today, he opened his fingers and was about to summon the Dumb Unicorn when he suddenly saw…

In front, about 100 meters away, was a shared sprite service station.

There were a few water-blue horses tied inside. They were Dumb Unicorn’s distant relatives — Water Cloud Horse.

He walked forward and saw a nameplate hanging around the necks of every horse. On each of them was a very eye-catching QR code.

And on the service station signboard, there were hints on how to rent shared sprites.

[This shared sprite service uses sprites that are non-aggressive, good-tempered and skilled. Please ride them without any worry.]

[This service uses a time fee mode. You can stop at any location and dismount. Our sprites will return to the service station on their own.]

Soga~!

It was just that the fee was a little expensive, dozens of times more expensive than the shared bicycle.

“No wonder there aren’t many customers.”

Seeing his arrival, the few horses let out “Neighhh ~ Neighhh ~” calls. Su Hao couldn’t understand, but he could roughly guess what they were calling.

— Scan me, scan me neighhh~!

How enthusiastic.

With his eyes, Su Hao glanced at a Water Cloud Horse that seemed to have a better affinity with him. Then, he saw the horse untie itself, walked in front of him, and squatted down.

The saddle on its back was just at the height Su Hao could sit on with one step.

Look, this is what service is!

Su Hao really wanted to bring out the Dumb Unicorn and say this to him.

The subsequent riding experience made him feel that the Dumb Unicorn was still lacking a lot.

“The Water Cloud Horse’s footsteps are extraordinarily steady. When I sit on its saddle, my butt feels very comfortable. It doesn’t feel uncomfortable sitting on the horse while playing with my cell phone at all…”

Speaking of saddles, Su Hao had long wanted to prepare one for the Dumb Unicorn, but he faced a technical problem.

Summon!

The saddle couldn’t be together with Dumb Unicorn, so it was summoned back by him.

Unless…

“For example, Butterfly’s Spiritual Orb and Mirage Energy Orb can be brought back together when summoned, but other elemental crystals can’t.”

The Mirage Energy Orb was a high-level treasure, while the Spiritual Orb was an extension of the spiritual force solidification…

From this perspective, Su Hao had a bit of an idea.

“The most important thing now is to push the Dumb Unicorn to the extraordinary level… Oh, no, to receive the reward.”

While he was thinking, they arrived at the school gate of Dragon City University.

The high-quality Water Cloud Horse automatically squatted down. Su Hao got off the saddle and waved at the horse.

“Neighhh~ Neighhh~”

The Water Cloud Horse left step by step, turning its head from time to time, as if it was saying, “Dear customer, come and ride often~”

…

A certain villa in the League Village.

In NPC Mentor Ma’s hand was a stack of cards.

He picked up a black card. “Inside is 30 million Dragon Nation Dollars, the basic reward for the champion of the league.”

He picked up another card, which had a red lotus flower engraved on it. “This is the Red Lotus Group’s Spirit Jade Card. With this card, you can extract a total of 250 kilograms of spiritual jades of various attributes from each shop in the Red Lotus Group.”

Mentor Ma picked up the third and last card.

Engraved on it was a tree crown that held up the sky.

“This is the Green Shade Group’s high-level shopping card. It can buy goods worth 20 million yuan. Also, it can buy good things that can’t be bought with ordinary currency.”

The three cards had already made the eyes of many members light up.

But that was just the appetizer.

“One of the rewards for winning the league is specially provided by Dragon City University. It has been constantly promoted long before the start of the tournament. That is the pure pool of Dragon City University.”

Mentor Ma said, “The pure pool can purify the sprite’s spiritual force and mental strength, allowing the sprite to take another step forward, and even break through a huge bottleneck. It’s a very precious cultivation venue.”

“I heard that it was moved back from the New World, but because it requires a large amount of precious materials every time it is used, every slot is very precious, much more precious than our school’s comprehension of the profound meaning stone tablet, and you…”

He paused for a moment. “All five of you official candidates have a chance to send your sprites into the pure pool.”

Su Hao was one of the five official candidates.

Tong Shang and the other substitutes were naturally envious, but jealous… They didn’t dare to be jealous, they didn’t dare to be jealous.Their trump cards had all been abused by Butterfly before.

It was already pretty good that they could get a share of the other prizes.

Then, they heard Mentor Ma say, “Of course, the other precious reward is for all of you.”

He paused and created some suspense before saying, “That is… to choose treasures from our Dragon Nation’s treasury!”

“In a while, Heavenly King Bu will bring you to that… treasure vault that I have no idea where it is.”

“I can only tell you that there are many treasures in the treasure vault. If you can find a suitable one, it will be very helpful to you. Perhaps the opportunity for a sprite to break through to monarch rank in the future is related to a certain treasure… To be honest, I’ve never been there.”

Mentor Ma’s tone was inevitably regretful, completely whetting everyone’s appetite.

A few of them were curious, but they couldn’t ask. If they asked, they would be spoiling the fun.

Until…

Ten minutes later.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Accompanied by the familiar trembling of the ground, a strong and muscular body appeared outside the villa window, blocking the sunlight while casting a large shadow.

It was muscles… Cough, Martial Arts Heavenly King!

As he spoke, his voice rumbled into everyone’s ears.

“Come with me now, I’ll bring you to the treasure vault to choose your rewards for the league… Just bring yourselves along, you don’t have to bring anything else.”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked out step by step. The sunlight shone on Heavenly King Bu’s bronze skin reflected bits of metallic luster.

…

Following Heavenly King Bu, the ten of them went straight to the intersection of a neighborhood in the dormitory district.

After waiting for a short while, they saw a few familiar people coming over.

There was Captain Wang Dong from the Dragon City University team, team member Lan Qing, and so on… a total of four people.

Su Hao’s gaze swept over, stopping on the slightly familiar girl for an instant… That girl didn’t have much expression, but when the others from Dragon City University saw them, their expressions were a little unconvinced.

Indeed, those who were jealous of him were all males.

Then, he saw that two people from Fiery Bird’s school team had also arrived.

They were all led by the Heavenly Kings from their respective schools.

Suddenly, a water line appeared in the distance and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye… It was a huge water ball. The water ball dissolved, revealing the figure inside.

A middle-aged woman and a… somewhat peculiar-looking Fairy Snail with coral reefs stuck around its shell.

Monarch rank.

She was clearly another Heavenly King.

“You can just call her Heavenly King Gong,” Heavenly King Bu said. He took two steps forward and actually smiled. “Ah Ling…”

The newbies didn’t dare to listen to the conversation between the big bosses.

Before long, the Coral Fairy Snail spewed out countless streams of water like a dimensional hole, turning into a huge water ball that enveloped everyone.

With a boom, the water ball rose and flew into the sky.

…

The blue water screen blocked their vision. When they looked over, they couldn’t see anything. There was no wind, no shaking. It was as if they were still standing where they were.

But before long, the water screen that enveloped them dissipated inch by inch.

The scene in front of them was clearly not Dragon City University anymore.

Heavenly King Gong said, “We’re here. Follow me closely next.”
