"Master Snake, I'll discuss something with you..."

After returning home in the evening, Jiang Yifan, who had the word 'weak' written on his face, said weakly while lying on the bed.

The copper snake, which was blowing balloons and holding a mini dumbbell with its tail, turned its head to look at him, but did not stop its bedtime workout.

"I know that you, as a snake that has slipped through the net of nine-year education, are indeed a bit weak in terms of culture, so I will first popularize the story of 'pulling out seedlings to help grow' with you, and then talk about the rest.

First of all, this story is about a long, long time ago, there was a peasant uncle..."

Jiang Yifan did not go straight to the point, but used a fable as a foreshadowing.

It wasn't until after the story was told that Jiang Yifan revealed his true purpose: "So what I want to say is that you are still young now, and you can practice your fighting skills and improve your combat awareness at this stage."

As for physical training or something, you don't have to work so hard at all, and when you grow up, you can redouble your efforts, aren't you all advocating a 'happy childhood' now? I think that's a good idea..."

Although the red copper snake can exercise hard with self-discipline, it is simply a pie-in-the-sky good thing.

But the problem is that when it is exercising now, as long as its physical strength is not enough, it will borrow it from itself through psychic skills.

It's okay to borrow it once or twice, but borrowing it seven or eight times a day is really a bit unbearable...

Although Shi Zhen said that it was actually harmless to his body, he endured it and passed.

But Jiang Yifan, who feels a little floating when he walks recently, is really a little skeptical about the credibility of Shi Zhen's words...

"Master Snake? Are you listening? ”

Jiang Yifan, who had talked to himself for a long time but didn't get a response, turned his head to look, only to find that the red copper snake had fallen asleep on the table at some point.

Looking at the balloon still in its mouth, Jiang Yifan guessed that it accidentally fell asleep because it was too tired before the bedtime workout was over.

"Alas, you're too yourself..."

Jiang Yifan sighed, walked over and gently picked it up, and then carefully placed it on a small bed that he had handmade himself.

"Huh? I've grown up a lot lately. ”

When he covered it with a small quilt, Jiang Yifan found that he couldn't cover his tail.

"It is estimated that after a while, not only the quilt, but even this small bed will not be able to sleep on you, and then a bigger bed will be made."

Looking at the red copper snake sleeping soundly on the bed, Jiang Yifan suddenly had a feeling of being a parent.

"Good night, little one."

After bowing his head and gently kissing the little head of the red copper snake, Jiang Yifan also lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep.

"Forget it, it's not harmful to the body anyway, you can borrow your physical strength if you want, I'm young and strong, and I can still hold it..."

The boy who was muttering to himself while massaging his sore muscles gradually became heavy and his consciousness fell asleep.

Outside the window, the moon and stars are scarce, and the night wind pushes the clouds and mist to circulate...

...

...

Time flies.

Late August, afternoon pedestrian street.

The sun is still hot at this point, but fortunately, there are tall banyan trees planted on the side of the street, and you can even feel a little cool when walking in the shade of the verdant canopy.

It is for this reason that couples in early love always choose to have a tryst in the here and now.

In this way, it is a good way to avoid the situation of 'dressing up and going out in the evening, causing parents to be suspicious'.

"Squeak——!!!

However, the silence of this tryst sanctuary did not last long before it was shattered by a loud cicada chirp.

The sound was so loud that it scared a girl who was still saying 'hate' to her boyfriend with a clip tone one second, and the next moment it directly turned into a majestic ''.

"The most annoying thing in summer, except for mosquitoes, is these 'frightening cicadas'?"

Jiang Yifan, who was sitting on the bench and watching all this silently, couldn't help but grin.

Cicadas chirp for courtship, and now that summer is almost over, there are still so many cicadas chirping happily, like a mockery of the single dogs who can't find a partner.

[Shocking Cicada, D-Class Balanced Demon Spirit]

[The appearance is not much different from that of ordinary cicadas, except that the wings are blue-green, and they can hide well in the canopy of trees without being discovered.]

Except for a 'loud voice' that shook the sky, he didn't have any combat ability, so he was once rated as an unranked demon spirit.

It wasn't until a study showed that residents who were plagued by their cries often experienced symptoms such as 'tinnitus', 'deafness', and 'neurasthenia' that they were re-rated as racial. 】

[Its pre-form is an unclassified 'silent worm'.] 】

"There's a 'cicada' on that tree, catch it!"

In the distance, several young people who looked like college students shouted and turned around to beckon to the demon spirits beside them, waving insect nets and running towards the banyan tree that made a sound.

Under normal circumstances, when encountering wild demons that have broken into the city, they will call the search bureau and ask them to send someone to deal with it.

But for the 'Startling Cicada', which is not aggressive and has a large number of wild spirits, it is really useless to let the searchers deal with it.

Therefore, the search bureau usually transfers these small troubles to the 'Demon Envoy Guild', and uses the power of the folk demon envoys to deal with them in the form of bounties on the task release platform.

For this opportunity to earn extra money, there are still many people rushing to do it, such as these college students at this time.

However, Jiang Yifan felt that what prompted them to work so hard was not necessarily the task bounty, but more likely to be some mandatory requirements of the school, such as doing social practice in the summer vacation.

After all, the cheapest labor = students.

"Yo, we haven't seen Ah Fan for a summer vacation, why do you look so vain? Young people should take care of their health. ”

Finally, Jin Yuanbao, who was belated, led Shi Xiongbao, who was already high in his buttocks, and after seeing Jiang Yifan's slightly pale face, he couldn't help but joke.

This summer, Jiang Yifan was doing penance in Shizhen, and Jin Yuanbao asked Jin's father to sign him up for a summer training camp because Shi Xiongbao was always lazy in training.

Therefore, the two who grew up together since childhood rarely did not see each other a few times this summer.

"There are some things that I can't control..."

Jiang Yifan sighed lightly, then reached out and poked his soft belly, "The effect of your training camp doesn't look very good, I thought that after a summer vacation, there would be a big change." ”

"? I'm enrolled in a trainee demon envoy training camp, not a weight loss training camp. ”

Jin Yuanbao rolled his eyes angrily, "And I didn't waste this summer, my Shixiong Bao graduated with the 'Labor Star'." ”

Speaking of this, Shi Xiongbao on the side still proudly tilted his head and crossed his waist.

"Stars of Labor?"

Jiang Yifan's black question mark .jpg

"Yes, don't look at this title as unpretentious, but in fact it is extremely golden, don't you believe that you will let your red bronze snake compete with my stone bear treasure later?"

As he was boasting, Jin Yuanbao suddenly noticed something unusual, "Huh? How did your bronze snake become like this? ”

In his impression, the little snake, which was originally only the size of a palm, was already half the length of an adult's arm at this time, and it looked very crowded curled up on Jiang Yifan's shoulders.

But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the copper snake should be copper, but why is it that he sees a bronze color at this time?

"Do you know what the snake is called?"

Jiang Yifan did not answer him directly, but asked a question instead.

"Hmm... Dragons? ”

"Well, it watched a lot of Jackie Chan movies this summer."

"What do you mean?"

"Discolored."
