1078: Chapter 1079: Unexpected Encounter 1078: Chapter 1079: Unexpected Encounter “Of course his grades are higher, although he had the advantage in the bonus points, the comprehensive evaluation still falls short compared to Dou Yanlan.”
Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen, who indeed was more skilled in combat than commanding.
But this ti, the academy assessnt focuses on the abilities of a Commander.
“So, is there a higher evaluation than an excellent student this year?”
Qi Xiaoshuang stared at Feng Yuan with an I-knew-it expression, certain he had deliberately concealed sothing.
Now it seed there might be a new evaluation added this year?
Feng Yuan chuckled and said,
“There’s nothing like that.
It’s just that the assessnt this year is a bit special, so there’s an additional award for the Excellent Commander, which has a much higher reward than that of an excellent student.”
“Excellent Commander?
Could it be…”
Qi Xiaoshuang paused, rembering sothing as she glanced at Qi Chen.
If she hadn’t guessed wrong, could it be…
Seeing the change in Qi Chen’s expression, Feng Yuan seed to realize sothing and said,
“Don’t worry, they won’t force her if she’s unwilling.
Besides, this title is just due to the focus of this assessnt, it’s not a big deal.”
“It’s not the sa as with Pei Yu?”
Qi Chen was still sowhat concerned, rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan said in a speechless tone,
“How could that be the case?
Right now, Maomu Academy doesn’t have the authority to be the reward of the military departnt.
Great Xia Academy might be a different story, but her scores aren’t high enough for Great Xia Academy.
Whether it is for an excellent student or an excellent commander, both evaluations are given by Maomu Academy.
Although it might be a bit discouraging, even if it were Shenhua Academy, your evaluation would still just be average.”
“That’s true, humph humph~ In the future, they will still need to recognize this genius~”
Qi Xiaoshuang said proudly, glancing at the White Shadow Wolf beside her.
Feng Yuan glanced at her and said,
“Even a genius can’t have the White Shadow Wolf as their first Taming Beast.”
The limit for a normal human’s first Taming Beast is the Good Level; going beyond that is simply not possible for a normal human to form a Taming Beast Contract.
Of course, Feng Yuan is an exception, but he didn’t need that.
Theoretically, he could directly sign a Taming Beast Contract with a Legendary Level, but that wouldn’t be aningful for him.
Even a Legendary Level beast couldn’t match the speed of his own hands, and it would also easily lead to others’ speculation, although he himself already looks quite mysterious.
“Tsks!
Can’t I first sign a Spirit Beast Contract?”
Qi Xiaoshuang stubbornly retorted.
A Spirit Beast Contract, being a mutual friendship, wouldn’t be included in the assessnt score irrespective of any changes to the evaluation criteria.
“If that’s the case, cheating would be simple.”
Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas and said nonchalantly, Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan oddly and said,
“Do you need to cheat?
With your own strength, you could completely achieve a perfect evaluation.”
“Humph humph~ Of course I can, but what about you?
If you ask Agunas to sign a Spirit Beast Contract with you, you might be able to directly enroll in Great Xia Academy~”
Rolling his eyes, Agunas shook its tail and said,
“I don’t want to partake in such nonsensical things.”
Although Agunas might agree if Feng Yuan really asked, it sohow feels…
wrong.
It doesn’t have a good relationship with Qi Chen, and doing this would feel like a deception.
“There’s no need…
I don’t want to resort to falsehoods on such matters.”
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly.
Even though doing so could get him into Great Xia Academy, he felt it more important to match his actual abilities.
Deceiving his way into Great Xia Academy, without the improved potential of Ah Mu, would only lead to struggling to keep up with the others, despite Great Xia having more resources than Maomu Academy, those resources still need to be fought for, and without sufficient strength, the resources he could get at Great Xia probably wouldn’t even surpass those at Maomu Academy.
“Tsks, the way you put it makes sound like the bad guy.
But forget it, the academy assessnt is over, there’s no use talking about this.
Ice cream, anyone?”
Feng Yuan imdiately spotted a newly opened ice cream shop and suggested, Qi Xiaoshuang followed, glancing at the White Shadow Wolf beside her.
Qi Chen looked at Ah Mu who shook its head.
Seeing Ah Mu’s refusal, Qi Chen smiled and walked over to a nearby seating area.
“Indulging in sweets once in a while is beneficial for the body and mind, don’t you want to try?”
“What kind of twisted logic is that?”
Qi Chen said, looking at Feng Yuan speechlessly.
Qi Xiaoshuang glanced at Qi Chen and said annoyedly,
“Don’t bother with him.
My brother doesn’t dislike sweet foods; he just prefers to have soone with him to enjoy them together.”
Feng Yuan licked his ice cream cone, looking at Qi Chen in confusion.
“Do I really need Dou Yanlan to eat with ?
That’s pretty high maintenance.”
“What are you babbling about…”
Qi Chen, speechless, glanced at Feng Yuan and then at Xiao Ji pecking at the ice cream.
Feng Yuan smiled smugly and said,
“Why are all of us enjoying ice cream while you’re not?”
“I just had a full al, not feeling like eating anything right now.”
Qi Chen said with a poker face, but who knows what he was actually thinking inside.
Qi Xiaoshuang looked around and said,
“Speaking of which, where is that shop you ntioned?
I’ve never heard of any famous tailor shop around here that makes formal attire.”
“Their gowns are okay.”
Veronia, setting her umbrella aside and elegantly eating her ice cream, said calmly, which made Qi Xiaoshuang surprisingly respond,
“Just okay?”
Seeing Qi Xiaoshuang looking at her with disbelief, Feng Yuan licked his cone and said,
“Did you ever consider Veronia’s identity?
The forr king of Mitradite, how picky must their taste be?
The ‘just okay’ coming from them is already a high complint, you know?”
“Really?”
Qi Xiaoshuang was still sowhat incredulous as she was not very familiar with Veronia’s standards.
And about the Mitradite from the Mythical Era?
Forget her, not even ancient history researchers might know about it, let alone have records, as most from that era have nearly been lost.
Moreover, from the Dynasty Era’s point of view, the further you go in ti, the more aesthetically pleasing it seems to modern people.
Too ancient an era, and their artefacts seem a bit too…
rugged and simple.
“Anyway, you’ll find out soon enough.
Forget it, let’s go, I’ll take you there and you’ll see.”
Feng Yuan said, getting ready to leave.
Qi Chen grabbed Feng Yuan, saying speechlessly,
“Are you planning to take the ice cream into the shop?
Aren’t you worried about staining their clothes?”
“Those are just samples.
If we really do stain them accidentally, we could just reverse ti, no big deal.”
Feng Yuan replied nonchalantly with a slight smile.
That shop displayed clothes directly even though they were not purely samples, but usually, the custors there would order custom-made clothes instead of off-the-rack.
People who shop there aren’t short of cash, and a tailored gown fits better, but considering the price, Qi Chen seed to recall sothing and said,
“I rember that shop’s gowns aren’t cheap; how about we check out the one on the first floor, Clothes Vogue, instead?”
He didn’t refuse to buy because, in fact, he didn’t have a gown.
Although he wore the Wolf God’s Robe to the last banquet, he felt a bit embarrassed and the more so as it was a dinner hosted by his classmate.
Feng Yuan glanced at Qi Chen and said, annoyed,
“Their clothes aren’t even as good as if you just wore the Wolf God’s Robe.
If it’s too expensive, I can lend you the money and you can pay back in a few months.
I believe once you start school, coming up with that amount of money would not be a problem at all.”
“This…”
“Yo~ What a coincidence, you’re out shopping too?”
At that mont, Feng Yuan noticed Yang Hongzhi hurrying by, he waved and called out loudly; Yang Hongzhi turned around in surprise and said,
“You’re here too?”
“Yeah, planning to get a gown, what about you?”
“You aren’t just saying that because you guessed what I was up to, are you?”
Yang Hongzhi looked skeptically at Feng Yuan, which was quite a coincidence since their purpose seed identical.
Feng Yuan replied, slightly puzzled,
“You too?
But didn’t you, as a freshman, already have one?”
Although gowns could be considered a luxury, Yang Hongzhi, even without the prestige of Mitradite, was a well-known figure at Maomu Academy, so how could he not own a gown?
At the very least, Feng Yuan believed he must have attended quite a few banquets.
“I do have one, but the teacher said it wasn’t very good and told there’s a shop here that makes the best gowns, and they even wanted to gift one…”
Yang Hongzhi said helplessly.
Regardless of the gown’s quality, it wasn’t cheap, and although he wasn’t short on money, it took so effort to refuse.
To prevent a fait accompli, he hurried over to order a custom gown.
