As soon as Zheng Yun finished speaking, Zhang Zili sneered, “You even said that Chen Qiyue accidentally got bad results in the exam. If that’s the case, why won’t he take the college entrance examination again? The top three can choose a C-rank Fantastic Beast egg.”

“It’s great now. You bought an E-rank Fantastic Beast egg. As expected, you, Chen Qiyue, obtained your results by cheating in the past, right?”

“You!” Zheng Yun was so angry that smoke came out of his nose and ears. He placed the Fantastic Beast egg in his arms on the counter and was about to rush up.

He wanted to press Zhang Zili to the ground and beat him up. If he did not do that, his name would not be Zheng Yun!

“Stop!” The security guards on both sides quickly rushed over and pressed Zheng Yun down.

The manager of the Feeding House also rushed over when he heard the commotion. “What happened?”

Chen Qiyue had a bright smile on his face, but he did not expect things to develop to this point in an instant.

He coughed lightly and hurriedly went forward to explain, “It’s just a quarrel between classmates. It’s fine, it’s fine.”

Zheng Yun was furious. “Yuezi, it’s fine if others slander you, but why are you still holding that egg? You shouldn’t buy that. You have to take the college entrance examination again!”

“Since young, when have you, Chen Qiyue, ever fallen out of first place?”

The more Zheng Yun spoke, the angrier he became. His eyes turned red as he looked at Chen Qiyue. He did not understand what had happened to his best friend.

Chen Qiyue patted Zheng Yun’s shoulder nonchalantly. “Hey, what’s the tantrum about? It’s not like the Fantastic Beast eggs can only be bought with vouchers.”

Zheng Yun was stunned. “You don’t need vouchers? What do you need?”

The manager listened to their conversation for a while and guessed what had happened. It seemed that this child had not performed well in the college entrance examination and his companion wanted him to take the college entrance examination again.

He stepped forward and advised, “That’s right, that’s right. There’s no hurry. You don’t have to buy it with vouchers. You can buy it with money. You won’t waste the voucher.”

“He’ll have a chance to get better vouchers in the next exam.”

Only then did Zheng Yun realize that he had made a mistake. His face turned red. “Um, Yuezi, I’m sorry. I-I was just too anxious…”

Chen Qiyue hugged his neck. “You’re only doing this for me. Just don’t be so impulsive in the future.”

Moreover, I didn’t lie. I only said that I could buy it with money. I didn’t say that I would buy it with money, right?

Cough, cough. When the Fantastic Beast hatches, it’ll be fine if I don’t take the college entrance examination again.

Sigh, it’s so hard to be considerate!

“Humph!” Zhang Zili obviously didn’t see this coming either, but he didn’t say anything else. He hugged his Fantastic Beast egg and turned to leave.

He was only mocking Chen Qiyue. If Chen Qiyue really got first place after taking the college entrance examination again, he would be the one who would be embarrassed.

Zheng Yun came back to his senses. After knowing that Chen Qiyue would not give up on taking the college entrance examination again, he calmed down and glared at Zhang Zili’s back.

‘I’m going to have to give this guy a beating sooner or later.’

Zheng Yun finished registering at the counter. After Chen Qiyue was done registering, he went upstairs with him to activate and bind the Fantastic Beasts.

Obtaining a Fantastic Beast for the first time required the activation of a Fantastic Beast formation. Only after activation could one become a Beast Trainer.

After that, every time one obtained a new Fantastic Beast, one did not need to come to the Feeding House to activate it. One could bind it by oneself.

However, the bound Fantastic Beasts had to be registered.

Of course, some Beast Trainers above a certain level were qualified to activate the Fantastic Beasts for their disciples and children. They could activate the Fantastic Beasts on their own, but they also had to register with the officials.

Chen Qiyue and the other high school students who had just graduated were naturally brought directly to the second floor of the Feeding House to activate the Fantastic Beasts through the formation.

The second floor of the Feeding House was a very large hall. There was a complicated array engraved on the ground, which looked extremely similar to a magic array.

Right above the array, there was a huge magic crystal display that was more than ten meters long and several meters wide.

There were already many students queuing up beside the array.

Chen Qiyue’s eyes lit up as he stared at the array.

At this moment, in the center of the array, a person was activating the Fantastic Beast array.

On the array, there was a place specially designed to accommodate the Fantastic Beast egg. That student stood in the center of the array and faced the Fantastic Beast egg.

A middle-aged man in a gold-rimmed white robe was standing in front of the array.

In front of him was a magic crystal platform that was more than a meter tall. There was a red transparent crystal connected to it.

“Calm down. It’s about to begin.”

The middle-aged man placed his hand on the crystal. There was an array on the back of his hand that was exactly the same as the one on the ground, but this array was countless times smaller.

The magic array flashed, and the red crystal immediately erupted with a dazzling light. A wave of energy was transmitted from the red crystal.

It spread down the platform and touched the ground, instantly lighting up the array on the ground.

A red light enveloped the Fantastic Beast egg and the student.

On the back of the student’s hand, a magical formation similar to the one on the middle-aged man’s hand slowly appeared.

At the same time, a similar array appeared on the Fantastic Beast egg.

“It’s here! It’s here! Look at the magic crystal screen!”

Someone exclaimed. Chen Qiyue subconsciously looked up and saw the scene displayed on the magic crystal screen.

It was a fat white worm with a pair of cute big eyes on its head. It was so cute that it made people want to scream.

Beside it were some words:

Fat-Eyed Worm Egg

Aptitude: D

Potential: 37

Chen Qiyue held his breath and looked down at his Fantastic Beast egg. As expected, it was exactly the same as the subtitles he saw just now.

Chen Qiyue fell into deep thought. From the looks of it, he could only see the subtitles through his golden finger. Clearly, he still needed to continue exploring in the future to see if this golden finger had any other uses.

“Let’s go, Yuezi. Stop daydreaming.”

Zheng Yun pulled Chen Qiyue to the back of the group. He would not admit that he, too, had been stunned previously.

Zhang Zili had arrived earlier than them and was already in the middle of the queue.

The student with the Fat-Eyed Worm’s egg had already finished activation. He happily carried the Fantastic Beast egg to register.

“37 aptitude is not bad,” Chen Qiyue said slowly.

“Yeah, I hope my Fantastic Beast’s aptitude can exceed 40.”

Zheng Yun carried the Fantastic Beast egg in his arms and was also looking forward to it.

The activation of the array was quite fast. It didn’t take a minute for a person to finish it. Soon, it was Zhang Zili’s turn.

He hugged the Fantastic Beast egg and was clearly a little excited. He carefully stood in the center of the array.

After a while, exclamations came from the surroundings.

“F*ck, look, it’s a Lightning Rat with 58 aptitude!”

“Awesome! A C-rank Fantastic Beast egg. He’s one of the top three big shots, right?”

“C-rank’s aptitude ranges from 51 to 60. 58 is already at the top!”

Zhang Zili looked up and saw the aptitude information of his Lightning Rat. His face revealed an ecstatic expression.

He hugged the Fantastic Beast egg and didn’t leave. He just stood beside the array and looked at Chen Qiyue and Zheng Yun mockingly.

“Did you see that? I’m holding a top C-rank Fantastic Beast egg. Chen Qiyue, from today onwards, you won’t walk in front of me anymore.”

“So what if you take the college entrance examination again? You’re a year later than me. By the time you sign a C-rank Fantastic Beast egg, I might have already signed a stronger Fantastic Beast egg.”

“From now on, you can only look at my back and never catch up! Hahahahaha!”
