blue whales under the stars

Chapter 44

Mu Ye sat beside Bai Cang, studying the same leaflet with Sandor who was across the table.

The flyer introduced the general items of the testing room that was selected as the test site. The words were not very clear, but they were enough to arouse people's interest. People will definitely go to the testing room to try it out.

But now, even though the flyer doesn't include an explicit price, their intentions are clear.

Sandor turned his face to the side and sighed: "The preparatory student who lives with me is already going to go. When I go back at noon, he is discussing with people how to buy it."

Mu Ye frowned: "I always feel that there will be hidden dangers in doing so."

"But in the morning test, I almost missed the best score." Sandor scratched his hair a little depressingly, "The test is getting more and more difficult, and there are three more exams to land in the next one. In the last two times, I still don't know what kind of movement Lie Tian will make."

Mu Ye flattened the corners of the flyer, and asked: "Will the teachers of the academy not care about this kind of thing?"

Sandor curled his lips: "There are only seven real teachers on the passenger ship, three magicians and three warriors, and one animal tamer. The rest we saw were just entourages. Except for the exam, the teachers of St. Paul's College It will not appear, they are only responsible for the content of the exam and the safety of the passenger ship, and the rest is out of their control."

Because of the difference in strength and lifespan, the status of practitioners is very different from that of ordinary people. This is also one of the main motivations for these preparatory students to be so eager to be selected by St. Paul's College.Practitioners still have their own affairs to be busy with. For these preparatory students who only have a [-]/[-] chance of becoming formal students, they really don't have time to waste their time.

"Doesn't the accompanying people care? I remember that some people went to the testing room to check the condition of the equipment."

This time it was Bai Cang who answered the call: "The Hunting Sky Club has contacted the inspectors."

Mu Ye looked sideways with some doubts: "Contact?"

Bai Cang tapped the table lightly with his fingertips: "A consensus has been reached."

Only then did Mu Ye understand, and now he couldn't say anything.

There is still more than a day before the exam in the testing room on the fourth floor. Without the opportunity to practice on the ground, Mu Ye and Sandor can only try to find alternative tools to use.They didn't dare to use their full strength, and they had to reserve some strength to face the exam.But even so, after one afternoon, the spirits of the two of them were still a little obviously weak.

After dinner, Mu Ye and Sandor made an appointment for an hour to meet again.Going back to the room with Bai Cang, Mu Ye sank into the soft mattress, closed his eyes and rested for a while, then turned his head to look at Mr. Lan Jing, who was looking through the crystal beside the bed.

He softly called the other person's name, and when he saw someone look up, he asked, "Don't you need to practice for the exam?"

Bai Cang looked at him leisurely: "Me? Practice catching Yuan beast?"

"It's not this..." Mu Ye hugged the pillow, "Teacher didn't see your identity, did he?"

Bai Cang said casually: "If he is spotted, I will change back to my original shape and eat him."

He divided the Yuanjing in front of him by size, and found those shapes that could be used by the boy.The value of Yuanjing is calculated by weight, and low-level Yuanjing has a standard unit of counting in pieces when it is usually traded.However, the crystals dug out directly from the seabed crystal mines in Bai Cang's hands are no longer limited by the standard weight, and each gram has its own value.It is only with such deep pockets that people can directly use Yuanjing for practice.

After Bai Cang finished picking out the Yuanjing in his hand, he noticed that Mu Ye hadn't spoken after listening. He looked up and saw the surprised expression on the boy's face, which he couldn't hide.

"..." Bai Cang coughed lightly, "Don't worry, I don't eat people."

Mu Ye asked cautiously, "Didn't you have enough for dinner?"

Bai Cang couldn't help being a little funny, he put away the extra Yuanjing, got up and walked to the bed.Putting one hand on the boy's thin and graceful back, Bai Cang bent down, and gently kissed Mu Ye's side face and the tip of his nose.

"I can eat shrimp and fish, and when I become a blue whale, I can eat crabs and the sea, but I don't eat people." Bai Cang's voice was low and smiling: "Except Xiao Ye."

When he got up, he happened to see Mu Ye's expression. There was no way to describe the boy's expression in specific words, but what was certain was that it had nothing to do with peace of mind, shyness, or joy.

Mr. Blue Whale has learned human language so thoroughly that he had to spend a long time explaining to Mu Ye that what he said about eating Ono... was not eating in that sense.

In the evening, it was the one-to-one practice of the special elemental duo. This time they spent more time in the more complicated steps. When it was finally over, Mu Ye, who had spent a whole day of elemental power, went upstairs a little bit. It's exhausting.

Before going to bed, Mu Ye and Bai Cang mentioned the incident in the forest.He tried so hard to practice the use of elements, which had a lot to do with the beast tide that the forest would face next.Even if he couldn't study at St. Paul's College immediately, Mu Ye wanted to learn some useful knowledge as soon as possible so that he could go home and do something.

When mentioning the mountains and forests again, Mu Ye no longer had any negative emotions towards the tribe.He himself is not a person who is very good at holding grudges, and now that he has some understanding of his abilities, naturally he will no longer have any unreasonable worries about not being liked.

Bai Cang listened quietly at the side, but did not make much clear statement.

The process of going to St. Paul's College was smoother than he had imagined. Coupled with the special circumstances of this year's enrollment, it is not a bad thing for the two of them to stay in the college.That's why Bai Cang didn't stop Mu Ye and Sandor from preparing for the exam together.

In fact, Bai Cang already had a premonition that Mu Ye's return home might not be as smooth as the boy thought.

After watching the child fall asleep, Bai Cang lay down with him for a while, then got up and left the bed amidst his even breathing.There are restrictions placed around the room by Bai Cang a few days ago, and if there is anything unusual, he will be notified immediately.

Quietly leaving the room, Bai Cang went down the escalator along the empty corridor alone. Mu Ye's work and rest were very regular, and because he was tired today, he went to bed earlier.And there was no exam the next morning, so now, there are still many preparatory students on the deck.

Bai Cang looked around, but he didn't find the person he was looking for.He didn't pay much attention to it. After walking around, he walked towards the escalator of the passenger ship.

Walking into the room, several pentagonal starfish appeared beside Bai Cang's hand. At the corner of the stairs where there were no people around, he casually placed his palms on the escalator, and the starfish that became the same color as the wooden escalator quietly walked along the stairs. Scattered around along the escalator.

Starfish are small in size, and change their color at any time according to the color of the objects they touch. Even in the daytime, it is difficult for anyone to find these little guys, let alone now when night falls.

After sending the starfish out, Bai Cang returned to the second floor.He opened the door in front of his room to enter, but after the door was half opened, he hid his figure and left the room again.

As a beast spirit, Bai Cang has enough ability to hide his figure, but with Star Man, invisibility becomes something that hardly requires strength to maintain.In order to prevent unnecessary troubles caused by the surveillance ball, Bai Cang walked up the escalator to the fourth floor after finishing everything.

The practice in each test room on the fourth floor is coming to an end, only the test room used as the test location and several rooms with similar items next to it are still waiting for practice.Bai Cang carefully avoided the people passing by, and after looking around, he walked towards the spot he found last time.

It was an office area, which could only be entered with the permission of the staff of St. Paul's College, but Bai Cang is now invisible, and no one can stop him.After crossing the obstacle, Bai Cang stopped in front of a door, hooked his fingers, and a starfish crawled along the wall.

Bai Cang took out a thumb-sized blue Yuanjing and put it on Haixing's back. Haixing quickly stretched out his feet to wrap the Yuanjing up.Then the round spherical object gradually became transparent. During the change, the starfish holding Yuanjing rolled towards the door.When they got to the door, Starfish and Yuan Jing became completely transparent.As if it was not hindered at all, it rolled directly into the door.

Soon, the forbidden voice inside the door appeared next to Bai Cang's ear, and the other Yuanjing in his hand slowly revealed the scene inside the door.

After seeing the scene in Yuan Jing, Bai Cang frowned involuntarily.

The people sitting in the room are more involved than he imagined.

"This time there are a total of seven tests for magic students and warriors, and five tests for beast trainers. If each time is the best, the upper limit of the final points will be [-] points." A man wearing a staff uniform stood in the middle, facing People sitting in a circle around explained: "The upper limit we set is [-], this number will not attract unnecessary attention, of course, if you have already reached more than [-], you want [-] If so, we can help you do that too.”

Afterwards, the man announced the approximate points he had obtained, and then began to introduce the number of crystals needed to buy the points to the ten people present.

The more points, the greater the risk, and the corresponding price will be higher. The number of crystals mentioned by the man, even many practitioners who have already obtained official status, will be shocked. The ten preparatory students present did not reveal it. What a look of surprise.

It seems that the Hunting Sky Club has already screened and found a suitable buyer.

Bai Cang saw Anna Getaew's figure on the right side of the room, and he was the only one in the Getau family sitting in the room.Even if the Eight Great Clans have money, they will not give too much freedom to the next generation who have not yet become formal students. They must prove themselves in order to obtain more resources.

Negotiations went smoothly, as there were only four days left before the voyage would end, and there was no rush to exchange on the spot.After the discussion, the ten preparatory students were sent directly back to the second floor through the separate escalator in the room, which could ensure that their whereabouts would not be leaked, but in the end, Anna Getaew stayed.

Bai Cang heard him ask the man: "You said just now that the highest score is [-]?"

The man looked at him, and Anna Getaew continued: "As far as I know, the most points at present should be nine hundred."

Bai Cang frowned.

The man was obviously aroused: "Oh?"

Anna said: "In the Beast Tamer's test, someone got [-] points in the first test. If this happens again, his points will be even higher."

He told the other party about Bai Cang's detailed situation, and finally said: "I have heard of the name of the Skyhunting Society, and I also know that this is the first time that the Skyhunting Society has used the points of preparatory students to act like this. cautious."

"But since this special situation has already appeared, why doesn't the Skyhunting Society let go of it? There are more than 200 people on board, and even if only half of them spend money, the accumulated points in your hands are more than what can be sold. share. Besides, most people don’t buy an appointment slip just once.”

"After arriving in Sao Paulo, the points are useless to the Skyhunting Society. It's a pity that people who want to buy points can't go out with the crystals."

The man was obviously a little moved, but he smiled again: "My little friend, we will naturally make arrangements for the final count. If your sincerity is enough, maybe you can also receive our news."

Anna said: "I have always admired the Skyhunting Society's ability, and I'm just offering a suggestion. After all, if there are too many points left, it will be difficult."

The man understood, and Anna said again: "If you are the ten of us who were found after the investigation, then you should also know that the person who is likely to get [-] points has a poor family and background."

The man raised his eyebrows: "So?"

"So," Anna said slowly, "Faced with such a ready-made source of point supply, has Hunter not calculated the cost of attacking him and the possible benefits in the end?"
