Chapter 178 Enrollment
Meng Wenbin instructed her not to reveal the existence of the Slavic Dragon before participating in the Intermediate Professional Tournament, and then turned and went back to his room.
It was already late at night, and Fu Mingyuan didn't run back and forth anymore. He went straight back to his room at the villa.
Before leaving, he glanced at Lin Manman, who was hugging and cuddling the dragon egg, with a complicated expression.
She actually awakened and formed a contract with him; such a talent is truly enviable.
After they left, Lin Manman put away her spirit pets and returned to her room.
After successfully forming contracts with Karl and Liuli, Lin Manman's spare pet slots were officially filled.
If you want to contract more spirit pets, you'll have to expand the system.
Thinking of the terrifying pain of expanding the pet slot, Lin Manman couldn't help but shudder.
If only someone could knock her unconscious while she's expanding...
Wait, doesn't Pipi have hypnotic abilities? Maybe that will work!
Lin Manman hesitated for a moment, but gritted her teeth and summoned Pipi, intending to give it a try.
She stared into Pipi's blank, beady eyes. "Wait a moment, when you see me feeling really uncomfortable, use your hypnotic ability on me, understand?"
"Hmm~" Pipi nodded.
Although the contract with Pipi was not long, and as the team's emotional stabilizer, Pipi was mostly invisible, but due to her personality, she was the most obedient to Lin Manman's orders.
Lin Manman patted its head, closed her eyes, and activated the system—it was all about charging in.
A familiar, excruciating pain shot from her mind to every part of her body. She opened her eyes and stared at Pipi. "Hypnosis!"
Pipi activated her skill immediately. Lin Manman stared into Pipi's eyes, feeling the sensations on her body growing more and more distant. The intense pain and consciousness seemed to be fading away from her.
Successfully hypnotized, she collapsed onto the soft bed.
When she regained consciousness the next day, she found her friends gathered around her bed.
Upon seeing her wake up, the eldest brother let out an exaggerated long sigh of relief.
"Little sister, you're finally awake! I don't know what happened last night, but your soul power went berserk and threw us all out of the spirit pet space."
"Then no matter how I called you, you wouldn't wake up. It wasn't until Pipi said that you were hypnotized by it that we were relieved."
Lin Manman looked at her bedroom, which was originally quite spacious, but had become extremely cramped because of the presence of her group of spirit pets.
Surrounding her bed were Honey Badger, Rainbow Jade, Silver Moon, Amber, and Boss. These creatures were all quite large, and they managed to turn her 1.8-meter-tall bed into a crib.
Ah-Dai squatted on the honey badger's head, and Liu-Li, relying on her height and long neck, could easily see Lin Man-Man's situation even when she was surrounded.
In the distance, Karl's dragon egg was carefully placed on a thick carpet. Pipi and Ruyi stood like a human pyramid at the foot of her bed, while Xiaoqi flew to her side, whimpering with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. I was just expanding my pet slots. This might happen again in the future, so please don't worry if it happens to you again."
Lin Manman looked around, nuzzled Xiao Qi, and felt her heart soften as she felt the care from her spirit pets.
"Next time something like this happens, give us a heads-up beforehand. You're making us worry unnecessarily," the eldest grumbled.
Lin Manman quickly apologized. In fact, she had only expanded on it once at the very beginning, and she didn't know much about the other aspects.
Having learned from this experience, she should make sure to settle the spirit pets properly before expanding again.
The eldest brother took the opportunity to ask for a lot of snacks before he was satisfied.
Lin Manman patted Amber's head and then rubbed Silver Moon's long fur before slowly bringing up the system to check her spirit pet slots.
The result was a pleasant surprise; all four expandable pet slots were filled in one go.
Moreover, because Pipi's hypnotic skills took effect, she only suffered a little at the beginning, and compared to the first time, she could be considered to have passed the level easily.
Thinking of this, she hugged Pipi, the great hero at the foot of the bed.
"Pipi, you've been a huge help this time! If there's anything you want to eat or want, just tell me, and I'll try my best to satisfy you!"
"Huh~" A rare glint of light flashed in Pipi's dull, beady eyes.
Lin Manman's arms, which were holding Pipi, stiffened for a moment. "You can't not train. Look at your friends. You'll all be fighting side by side from now on."
"If your individual beast's abilities are too weak, causing our entire team to be unable to perform to its full potential, wouldn't you be looked down upon by everyone?"
"Besides, you'll have the honey badger and Ah-Dai training with you, how lively is that? They've even taken time out of their own training to be with you, so you should at least show them some respect."
The eldest brother, who was listening nearby, twitched his ears. He had not been exposed to the 21st-century 'PUA' culture and did not know what moral blackmail was.
My gut feeling is that something's off about these words, but when I actually let them say them, they seem to make no problem.
Pipi's beady eyes went blank again. Thinking back on the few days when it was chased around by Honey Badger and Adai, it had indeed improved in some ways.
Although the promotion was forced upon me, any promotion is a good thing.
Just as Lin Manman was thinking about how to make amends to Pipi, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, we're going to register you for school today. Are you up?" Ms. Qin's gentle voice came from outside the door.
Lin Manman slapped her forehead; she had almost forgotten about it.
"Get up, get up, I'm coming." She hurriedly put all the spirit pets in the room into her spirit pet space, then quickly washed up and put on her clothes.
When the door was opened, Ms. Qin was still standing outside.
"I went to bed late last night and overslept today," Lin Manman said, scratching her cheek sheepishly.
Ms. Qin smiled and replied, "It's alright. Today is just to help you register for school and get familiar with the environment. Classes will officially start tomorrow, so it's okay if it's a little later."
"Mr. Xia will be taking you there today. Mr. Meng went to the research institute early this morning. You can have breakfast at the restaurant first before heading out."
Lin Manman nodded repeatedly. When she arrived at the restaurant, Xia Ming was there too, but he wasn't eating; he seemed to be waiting for her.
Upon seeing her come down, Xia Ming, whom he hadn't seen for many days, nodded and smiled gently at her.
"Uncle Xia, why didn't you come yesterday?" After spending quite a bit of time together, Lin Manman still had some feelings for Xia Ming.
For such an important apprenticeship banquet, and given that he is a highly valued talent by Meng Wenbin, there's no reason why he wasn't invited.
"They've arrived, but there were too many people, so I didn't want to disturb you, Miss." Xia Ming's eyes were refined and gentle. "Congratulations on officially becoming Master Meng's disciple. I wish you a bright future and boundless success."
"Thank you." Lin Manman responded sincerely to Xia Ming's heartfelt congratulations.
"By the way, Miss, for your future professional certification, you only need to come to me to complete it; you don't need to go to the Alliance's Professional Hall to handle it anymore."
To prevent Lin Manman's information about her spirit pet from being leaked, Meng Wenbin directly encrypted her file information. Naturally, her professional certification could no longer be processed at the Alliance Hall like that of normal professionals.
It has been corrected. If there are still any typos, please long-press to report them.
