Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel
#176 - Friends
"Xiao Mo, I'm here."
Stepping out of the airport, Ye Mo immediately spotted his grandfather waving his arms and calling out to him.
"Grandpa," Ye Mo called out with a smile, jogging over.
Though his grandfather's face was beaming with a smile after a month apart, Ye Mo could still make out the fatigue etched upon it, suggesting his grandfather hadn't been doing too well.
"Come on, let's get in the car first."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Ruitang opened the car door and settled into the driver's seat, with Ye Mo following closely behind into the passenger seat.
As the car started moving slowly, Ye Mo, looking at his grandfather beside him, asked curiously, "Grandpa, how come you bought a car? When did you buy it?"
His curiosity wasn't about whether the family could afford a car, but rather that his grandfather had always been indifferent to cars; after all these years of not buying one, why the sudden purchase now?
From the driver's seat, Ye Ruitang chuckled, "Just bought it. It's mainly because I can't have spirit pets take me around in a base city like Bingdu, so I bought one."
Base cities generally restrict Beast Tamers from riding spirit pets within city limits, and only those with permits are allowed. As the chief of the Linghu District in Beihan City, his grandfather could use the power of his spirit pets to travel around Linghu District, and even the entirety of Beihan City, as long as it didn't affect pedestrians.
However, his status wasn't quite high enough in Bingdu.
Understanding the reason, Ye Mo nodded slightly. He then wanted to ask his grandfather how he had been recently, how the situation was with Beihan City's defense, and how the family's Tyrant Bear was doing, but considering they were still in the car, he decided against it.
For a moment, Ye Mo didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Ye Ruitang, who was driving, asked, "Xiao Mo, how has it been at the Modu Academy during this time?"
Ye Mo looked at his grandfather, thought for a moment, and replied, "It's been good. I've gained a lot during this time. My strength is vastly different compared to when I first arrived in Modu."
"Oh, right, Grandpa, I've already broken through to the Third Order and become an Advanced Beast Tamer."
Hearing this, Ye Ruitang turned his head in surprise and asked, "Already Third Order?"
Because Bai You was by Ye Mo's side, the invisible array enveloped Ye Mo as well, so in Ye Ruitang's eyes, he could only sense the false aura created by Bai You, and had always thought that Ye Mo was still Second Order.
With a thought, Ye Mo released his aura, allowing it to be sensed, and said with a smile, "Yeah, I just broke through a few days ago. Modu Academy really has a lot of resources; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to improve so quickly."
After personally sensing the genuine Third Order aura of his grandson, Ye Ruitang, though finding it hard to believe, could only accept it, retracting his gaze of shock and whispering, "Good, that's great!"
After his grandfather recovered from his surprise, Ye Mo shared some stories about Modu Academy with his grandfather, mainly focusing on how well he was doing, how abundant the resources were, and how friendly the teachers and classmates were, omitting any mention of battles.
After chatting for a while, Ye Mo, who was occasionally looking out the window, frowned and asked curiously, "Grandpa, isn't this the way back?"
According to his memory, this direction was completely different from before.
Ye Ruitang, with a serious expression, smiled and said, "It's indeed not the way back. We're going to Bingdu Academy first. Xiyang and Xiyue are there. Since we're here, I invited them to have a meal together."
Nodding slightly, Ye Mo asked, "How many rounds are there in this training event? Do you know, Grandpa?"
The training events organized by each city and academy are different. For example, his Modu Academy only had two rounds, but other academies might have several rounds.
"It should be eight rounds, eliminating about a quarter each round, and finally leaving ten people," Ye Ruitang said after thinking for a moment.
Huh? That many rounds? Hearing about the eight rounds, Ye Mo was genuinely surprised. If they were currently in the third round, wouldn't that mean they'd be eliminating a batch every half month? The level of competition felt even more intense than theirs.
… …
Soon after, at the entrance of Bingdu Academy, Ye Ruitang and Ye Mo spent some time at the gatehouse verifying their identities before finally being allowed to enter.
The reason they were entering the academy was because the place for their meal was the academy's cafeteria.
At the time, when he heard this, Ye Mo thought he had misheard, but after his grandfather's explanation, he finally understood.
Bingdu Academy, like Modu Academy, was built in the suburbs, or even more remote areas. Apart from a few academies nearby, there were hardly any other buildings. If they really wanted to eat outside, they would probably have to drive to the city center.
Therefore, the final choice for the meal location was within the academy. After all, this was a top academy. When compared, the food in the cafeteria was no less inferior to that of top hotels outside.
After all, the best ingredients in this world are often guarded by high-level magical creatures and demon beasts, or are high-level magical creatures and demon beasts themselves. You can't obtain them without strength, and as a top academy, martial virtue is essential.
Standing at the entrance, Ye Mo chatted with his grandfather while waiting for people. After a while, two figures ran over.
"Hello Grandpa, and Ye Mo, long time no see." Lin Xiyue still had her usual aloof demeanor, but Ye Mo couldn't help but feel that she seemed even colder.
"Hello Grandpa." Lin Xiyang, who ran over later, greeted them and then turned to look at Ye Mo, unable to suppress the joy in his eyes.
Subsequently, led by Lin Xiyue, with Ye Ruitang following beside, and Ye Mo and Lin Xiyang at the back, they walked towards the campus.
On the way, Ye Ruitang kept talking to Lin Xiyue, with Ye Ruitang doing most of the talking and Lin Xiyue answering.
Behind them, Ye Mo met with his friend Lin Xiyang and couldn't help but chat.
"Ye Mo, why are you back so early? Don't tell me you were eliminated during the training activity?"
"You're the one who got eliminated! My Demonic Metropolis Academy only has two rounds. I persisted until the second round and wouldn't be eliminated. It's you who barely made it to the third round. Better work hard, or I might see you at home next time."
"Don't worry, I'm incredibly strong now. I won't be eliminated that easily."
"…"
Incredibly strong? Ye Mo used his detection skill, looked at his friend's Level 23 appearance, and gently shook his head.
After experiencing the high concentration of ice elemental energy within Ice Capital Academy, Ye Mo and his group arrived at Ice Capital Cafeteria Number Two. Because they had booked a private room in advance, they went straight in and could dine at any time.
At the dinner table, although Ye Ruitang appeared somewhat stern, he really couldn't maintain that sternness when facing these grandchildren.
Thus, the entire dinner table became a chat room for everyone.
Through Lin Xiyang's words, Ye Mo learned a lot about their news.
Among them, Lin Xiyang was fortunate enough to obtain the qualification for the Ice Capital Academy training activity because of a mystical pet he contracted in the secret realm. Later, after his two pets broke through Level 20, they evolved not long after, giving him two commander-level pets at once, greatly increasing his combat power. He was originally facing the risk of being eliminated soon, but now his strength is among the top of all participants.
As for Lin Xiyue, from Lin Xiyang's words, her teacher was in Ice Capital Academy. After participating in this activity, her pet's level was close to Level 30, belonging to the real first echelon among all people, only weaker than the only two students who already possessed king-level pets.
When talking about those two students with king-level pets, Lin Xiyang kept sighing, wondering how someone's pet could have a king-level species at Level 20-something. It was too outrageous and unfair.
Lin Xiyang, who had fought against them, kept talking about his performance. During the process, Ye Mo looked at his proud appearance and didn't say that he had easily defeated six opponents of that level before, let alone now.
Thinking about it, his friend had been abused in the secret realm all along, and now he finally had a big increase in strength, and could even exchange a few moves with opponents who possessed same-level king-level pets. He should let him be happy for a while.
Just like that, after Lin Xiyang talked until his mouth was dry, he began to ask about Ye Mo's situation.
"Cough cough cough, what? You're Level 31!" Lin Xiyang, who was almost choked, coughed a few times and stared at Ye Mo with wide eyes.
Ye Mo drank his beverage and nodded slightly: "Yes, just broke through."
Hearing Ye Mo's words, and seeing that Grandpa Ye Ruitang didn't say anything, it seemed that Ye Mo had really broken through to Tier 3.
No, this is too outrageous, right? It hasn't been long since the secret realm, right? How could he be Tier 3 after such a short time?
He thought he could narrow the gap with him, but it seemed like it was getting further and further away. Thinking of this, Lin Xiyang couldn't stop the shock in his heart.
This was Tier 3. Among all the students in their training activity, not a single student had broken through to Tier 3, and neither had their pets.
Soon, the meal was finished. Then, Lin Xiyang and the others sent Ye Mo and his grandfather out of the academy, standing quietly at the entrance without saying a word.
Da, da.
Turning his head, Lin Xiyang saw his sister walking towards another direction in the dormitory area, and asked, "Lin Xiyue, what are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiyue didn't even turn her head, only leaving two soft words: "Cultivate."
A long sigh sounded. Lin Xiyang's eyes became much firmer. Hearing that Ye Mo had broken through to Tier 3 earlier really shocked him. Then, he reflected on himself. After his pet broke through, he felt that he had no risk of being eliminated, and he had indeed slackened a lot.
Looking at it now, he was still too arrogant and too easily satisfied, just because he could get in the top 20 in the training activity and was complacent.
Thinking about it, Lin Xiyang walked towards the school. He didn't want to sleep tonight.
…
After leaving the academy, Ye Ruitang drove, taking Ye Mo away from here.
On the way, looking at the scenery outside the window constantly receding, Ye Mo felt a little emotional.
Lin Xiyang is pretty good. He helped him contract a pet in the secret realm, and now it seems to be working well.
And Lin Xiyue, judging from her level, she hasn't been growing slowly during this time either.
It's just that he grew faster. Back then, his strength was about the same as Lin Xiyue, or even earlier, his strength was not as good as her.
And now, his strength is about to catch up with their father, Uncle Lin Ao.
Thinking of this, Ye Mo shook his head and chuckled.
At this time, sensing something, Ye Mo opened the starmap, and Bai Ling jumped out from it, looking at him with dissatisfied eyes, and shouted: "Meow."
Didn't you say that you would let me out at ordinary times?
Reaching out and stroking the fur on Bai Ling's back, Ye Mo smiled and said: "My mistake, I accidentally forgot just now."
He couldn't release his pet before entering Ice Capital Academy, so he took it back to the contract space. As a result, he thought too much after coming out and forgot directly.
Next, after Ye Mo apologized several times, Bai Ling raised her head and rubbed Ye Mo's palm, which was considered forgiving him.
"Grandpa, are we going straight back now?" After stroking the cat again, Ye Mo stroked the cat while turning his head and asked.
Ye Ruitang looked ahead and nodded slightly: "Yes, it's not too late now, we can still get home today."
"After we go back, let's have a good chat, let's not talk about it now."
Ye Mo nodded slightly, his eyes serious: "Okay."
