The day after the man in black left, today happened to be Monday, and Xu Bai returned to school.

"Xu Bai, why didn't you come to school last week?"

"That's right, classmate Xu Bai, are you sick?"

As soon as they walked into the classroom, a group of girls surrounded Xu Bai and asked for warmth.

"Ah, it's a little sick......

In this regard, Xu Bai, who had already thought of an excuse, replied directly.

"Eh, are you sick, is there anything wrong with Xu Bai's body now?"

A girl asked with a worried face, and then stepped forward to "check his body" for Xu Bai.

"Ah, it's okay now, thank you for worrying about ......"

Xu Bai hurriedly took a step back without embarrassment, blocking his hands in front of him.

"Cut! But it's a waste to take a few days off when you're sick. ”

The boy at the bottom said sourly, he didn't see these girls care about him so much.

"Ma Maozong, shut your stinky mouth!"

"When classmate Xu Bai is sick, not only do you not have a word of concern, but you also speak ill of each other, are you still a classmate?"

"That's it, this Ma Mao Sect is too inhuman!"

Because of the relative proximity, Ma Maozong's words happened to be heard by the group of girls, which immediately caused public anger and was attacked by the group.

"What, am I wrong? Waste is waste, and people who are so big can still get sick! Ma Maozong, who was embarrassed and angry, blushed and shouted: "Didn't look at our brother Hao, I didn't see any problems running two kilometers outside on a rainy day?" ”

"He is him, and classmate Xu Bai is classmate Xu Bai!"

"That's right, Chen Hao is a cow, and Xu Bai is a human, can you compare?"

"And what's wrong with Xu Bai's illness and leave, is there any problem? Even if Xu Bai doesn't come to school, his grades are better than yours! ”

The group of girls also blushed, frantically defending Xu Bai.

Ma Maozong seemed to have grasped the topic, and replied again: "Yes, yes, yes, he is good at learning, but it is useful to study well, this world is the final say of the beast master after all!" I'm afraid he can't even ...... pet beasts."

"Shut up!"

Before Ma Maozong finished speaking, there was a scolding voice behind him.

Chen Hao looked at Ma Maozong with a gloomy face, and belittled Xu Bai in front of the girls, I'm afraid it's boring for myself, the key is to compare him with Xu Bai, don't you see that the group of girls are going to treat him as livestock?

"Okay, okay, the teacher is here, the class is over, and I'll get back to my seat."

Outside the door, squad leader Qin Yi walked in quickly and stopped the farce.

Not long after, after Xu Bai sat down, a female teacher in her thirties, who had a slightly mature temperament, walked into the classroom wearing high heels.

"Students, there is still a week to go before the winter vacation, have you thought about the pet beast you want to sign?"

As soon as Sun Xiaoman finished speaking, the people below began to talk about it, and when it came to signing the pet beast, they were all looking forward to it.

"Alright, quiet." Sun Xiaoman smiled and made a quiet gesture, "Although some of you have already signed a pet beast, I still have to say that no matter what kind of pet beast you want to sign, quality is the most important, especially your first pet beast, which is related to your future." ”

"Teacher, isn't the cultivator able to help pet beasts improve their quality?" A boy raised his hand and asked.

"Of course, but only if you have money, the services of a cultivator are not available to most people."

Hearing this, thirty percent of the people in the class didn't care, and the remaining seventy percent of the people swept their eyes down a touch of depression, and they were all people with average family conditions.

Of course, it generally refers to people who can't take out tens or millions of people casually, Xu Bai's kind of poor households in the class.

"Cultivator ......"

Xu Bai thought of his magical ability, he should be regarded as half a cultivator.

"Okay, don't think about it, after all, the cultivator is not 100% able to help pet beasts improve their quality, and if they don't do it, they will fail and cause irreversible damage to pet beasts."

As if remembering some bad memories, Sun Xiaoman flashed a trace of fear in his heart, and smeared the cultivator.

She had given a feathered goose to a skimming breeder, only to bring it back and turn it into a hairless brine goose.

"You'd better discuss it with your parents and let them buy you a high-quality pet beast, after all, you only have one life, and you have to rely on pet beasts to help you fight for it in the future."

Below, many people lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.

Indeed, Sun Xiaoman is right, the future is indeed relying on pet beasts to help them fight, as a beast master, there is no pet beast with high potential, how to talk about the future.

"Okay, okay, come back to your senses, let's start class, let's move on to what we were talking about......"

……

At noon, the school cafeteria.

"Classmate Xu Bai, don't take it to heart this morning, Ma Maozong is like this!"

"Yes, he's just a cheap mouth, and he doesn't clean up!"

"Drink, when I sign the pet beast, I will definitely beat him all over the ground to find his teeth, and vent his evil anger for Xu Bai!"

"Me too!"

"Count me in!"

At the dinner table, the girls crusaded against Li Maozong one after another.

"No, I'm fine, everyone is classmates, there's no need for this."

Xu Bai hurriedly waved his hand and said, he really didn't care.

"By the way, what kind of pet beast does Xu Bai plan to sign?"

Speaking of signing a pet beast, a girl blinked her eyes and asked Xu Bai with curiosity on her face.

"Yes, classmate Xu Bai will tell me quickly?"

Including Xiao Hanxue, the girls at the whole table looked at Xu Bai.

"What kind of pet beast...... Snake bar. ”

Without thinking about it, Xu Bai blurted out directly.

Really......

After hearing this answer, Xiao Hanxue felt a pang in her heart.

Although Xu Bai has never said anything about her family, she and many girls know how poor Xu Bai's family conditions are.

After school, she followed Xu Bai to his house, she didn't do it.

A small pet shop, there are almost no customers, and she has never seen Xu Bai's parents in the store.

originally thought that Xu Bai was just working part-time in the store, but after seeing him coming out of the store in the morning several times, she knew that it was his small home.

A high-quality pet beast, he ...... Can you afford it?

Xiao Hanxue hugged the little fire fox tightly, and secretly made a decision in her heart.

……

After returning home, Xu Bai hurriedly ran to the small room.

Looking at the three perfect quality snake pets in front of him repeatedly, Xu Bai was excited in his heart, he opened the glass cover of the snake's belly, grabbed it out of it, and planned to sign the snake belly as his first pet beast.

Xu Bai took out three "cards" and put one of them on the ground.

This is a contract card, after several versions of upgrades, humans have finally made the device that assists in signing contracts into its current appearance, which is not only easy to carry, but also greatly improved in function.

One such contract card cost a thousand yuan, and Xu Bai bought three, for which he spent almost all his savings.

"Put your hand on it."

Xu Bai said to the belly of the snake in front of him that kept trying to climb to his neck.

Hand?

The snake belly spat out the snake letter, and did not understand what the shovel officer in front of him was talking about.

"Oh, I was so excited that I forgot about it, snakes have no hands, you put your head on it."

The snake's belly rested its head on the contract card as if it didn't understand.

"Don't take up all the seats, leave some space for me ......"

On the contract card, the head of the snake's belly and Xu Bai's hand are placed on it together, which is how to use the contract card.

Xu Bai concentrated, and soon, a glimmer of light overflowed from below, and the lines on the contract card were gradually activated, and a traction force came from below, and then all the way to the brain.

In his mind, there seemed to be a space, and Xu Bai turned into a line in the space, constantly swimming forward, and finally, he saw a purple flame in front of him.

An indescribable sense of familiarity came from the purple flame, and Xu Bai knew that this was the spirit body of the snake's belly.

Xu Bai quickly swam towards the purple flame, the most critical step came, if Xu Bai did not receive any resistance when he touched the purple flame, it means that the contract was successfully signed, otherwise, it failed, not only mental consumption, but also wasted a thousand yuan contract card.

The line came into contact with the flames and did not receive any resistance, but was very welcoming to Xu Bai's arrival.

A sense of clarity came from his mind, Xu Bai withdrew from the contract space, looking at the snake belly in front of him, he knew that the contract ...... Signed successfully!

The process of signing the contract with the Serpent's Belly is interesting, its not-so-clever mind can't understand why it turned into a ball of flame and appeared in a place where there is nothing, until it sees a line swimming towards it, and it feels a familiar feeling on it—it's its shoveler!

It wanted to swim to that line, but it couldn't move, so it could only wait for Xu Bai to swim over, but when Xu Bai swam over, it instantly retreated from inside, and it was still at a loss: What did I just do?

Although he had learned the process of signing the contract, he still felt amazing and an inexplicable sense of déjà vu after he really felt it......

Abandoning the strange thoughts in his mind, Xu Bai touched the dazed head of the snake belly, and after signing a contract with the snake belly, he could now clearly feel its emotions.

If the level of the snake belly is higher, he can still communicate with Xu Bai spiritually, of course, now he can only express some simple thoughts.

"Whew~"

After signing the first pet beast, he can be regarded as officially embarking on the path of the beast master......
