nAfter being busy for half a day.

nThe good news was that both Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow could apply for sprite ID cards.

nThe bad news was that it was almost seven!

nHe was extremely hungry!

nThey hadn’t eaten much for lunch, and the application had dragged on till now.

nHe climbed to the sixth floor and pressed the doorbell.

nA moment later, the door opened.

nWhen Mom Su saw him, she was very relieved. “You’re not hurt, are you?”

nShe looked around.

nMom Su received a call from the school teacher in the afternoon, saying that the car was attacked on its way back to school.

nAt that moment, her heart tightened.

nEven though the teacher on the phone said that he was fine.

nLater on, Su Hao also called to let her know that he was safe.

nBut Mom Su could only be at ease after she saw him with her own eyes.

nWhen Father Su heard the commotion, he walked out to see Su Hao. He didn’t say anything, but he showed a relieved smile.

n“Since you’re not injured, quickly wash your hands and eat,” said Mom Su.

nAt a glance, Su Hao noticed the untouched dishes on the table. He couldn’t help but say, “Mom, didn’t I tell you guys to eat first? You don’t have to wait for me.”

nMom Su casted a glance at him, then called for Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow to hurry in.

nIn the end, she said, “We didn’t wait for you. We were waiting for Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow, the two great contributors.”

n“Come, come, come. Hurry, I’ve prepared both of your favorite food tonight.”

nThen, she looked at Su Hao and said, “What are you waiting for, heat up the dishes!”

nSu Hao didn’t have any status in the family. He exchanged a look with his father and walked towards the dining hall.

n…

nAt the dining table, Father Su and Mother Su kept asking about the situation in the afternoon.

nSu Hao simply explained.

nHe didn’t mention that he directly confronted the attacker and escaped from the mouth of an elite-level sprite.

nSince the school didn’t mention those things.

nThere was even less of a need for him to say it.

nIt would just worry them.

nBut Father Su and Mother Su were obviously not so at ease.

nAt this moment…

nA piece of news was suddenly broadcasted on the TV.

n…

n“Look, don’t worry. This is a small probability event. Those attackers won’t be able to do much.”

nHis parents were finally relieved.

nIt seemed that the attacker was indeed insignificant in front of the Association of Sprite Trainers.

nNo one was injured either.

nSu Hao knew a little more.

nBut when he saw the news, he also let out a sigh of relief.

nA part of the screen was covered in thick mosaic, but Su Hao could still recognize that it was the stone giant that had been summoned away.

nIt died a tragic death.

nPerhaps this rock giant was the one that exposed the leader’s position.

n…

nAt night, Su Hao was using the computer to look up some materials needed for Silkworm Baby’s evolution.

nHe knew exactly what he needed.

nHe was checking the price.

nThere weren’t many shopping centers selling items related to sprites, but there were still three stores selling them.

nSu Hao tapped away on the computer keyboard.

nThe main ingredient for Silkworm Baby’s evolution was wood-element essence.

nThat wasn’t cheap.

nBut for some supplementary materials, Su Hao could still get a discount of tens of thousand yuan.

nIt was indeed not easy to raise a family.

nAt this point, Su Hao’s ears twitched. He heard Father Su and Mother Su talking about words like “fraud”, “house” in the living room so he walked out curiously.

n“What house?”

n“There was a call just now. It said that you got first place in the joint examination. According to the incentive policy formulated by the City Affairs Bureau and Clear Water Real Estate, they want to reward you with a house!”

nMom Su pursed her lips. “Do you really think that I’ve read the public account for nothing? These scams are long outdated!

n“They even said that you came in first in the joint examination, is that even possible? Why don’t they find a more reasonable reason? Are they treating me as a fool?”

nMom Su was proficient in the “Prevention of Cheating Thirty-Six Techniques” and also frequently watched various legal programs. She had seen at least 800 to 1,000 scams so she was very satisfied with herself for easily seeing through the trickery of a cheat.

nThe public account and legal programs were not for nothing.

nSu Hao fell silent.

nDidn’t he tell them that he had gotten first place?

nWhen he thought about it carefully, it seemed that perhaps, perhaps…he really didn’t say anything.

nHe said with utmost cautiousness, “Mom, maybe he’s not a liar…”

nAfter much persuasion, Su Hao took out the joint examination certificate, the certificate awarded by the Heavenly King, and so on.

nIt was then that Father Su and Mother Su finally understood that their son indeed had the ability to win first place in the joint examination.

nIt wasn’t fake.

nHe even got his official Sprite Trainer license in the first semester of his third year of high school.

nBecause Silkworm Baby had already broken through to entry-level.

nHow awesome was entry-level? After Su Hao chose the Sprite stream, Father Su and Mother Su had a slight research on it.

nAfter a while, Father Su and Mother Su sighed and said, “Silkworm Baby is indeed very hardworking. Of course, you’re not bad either.”

nSu Hao was puzzled.

nHe always felt like he was here to just recharge his phone!

nAs they spoke,

nSu Hao’s cell phone rang.

nIt was Uncle Pan.

nHe swiped to answer the call.

n“Oh… Well… Alright… Thank you, Uncle Pan.”

nThe call was related to the house.

nThe location was in the Sprite Trainer neighborhood that Coach Xiong had mentioned. It was a high-end neighborhood specially provided for Sprite Trainers by the Clear Water Real Estate. There were many facilities related to sprites in the neighborhood.

nMany high-level sprites were large in size so it was even more necessary to raise them in a specialized training place.

nIt was just that there were very few large-sized sprites in An City.

n“It’s really a house?” Mother Su didn’t quite believe it.

n“It’s absolutely true. There’s no need to pay. You can go to the Guild or City Administration Office tomorrow for enquiries.”

nSu Hao said, “Apart from the house, Dad’s position can probably be moved up a bit.”

nFather Su was a civil servant in a career unit. It still wasn’t a high level even if he was moved up, but at least he got a promotion.”

nMother Su worked at a private company.

nSo the City Administration couldn’t manage it.

nHowever, Uncle Pan had said that as long as she was willing, he could arrange an idle job in the public service for her.

nThe workplace was in the city, near the Association of Sprite Trainers, and was also near the house rewarded to them…

nOne word to describe it was safe.

nApart from being surprised, Su Hao also felt the weight of a Sprite Trainer.

nIf it was before he transmigrated, even if he was the top scholar in the college entrance examination, a house was already considered a pretty good reward.

nHowever, in the Sprite stream, the City Administration Bureau placed great importance on the first place merely in the joint examination.

n“It may also have something to do with Heavenly King Zhou taking a fancy on you, and you getting a mid-level Sprite Trainer certificate.”

nSu Hao didn’t dare to be arrogant.

nWith such a high status as a Sprite Trainer, it was impossible that he merely grasped extraordinary power.

nHe had some guesses.

nBut after all, he was just a high school student.

nThe most important thing now was to nurture sprites and increase their strength.

nAt the same time…

nAs the joint examination ended, winter break arrived.

n
