《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 140: The Long Awaited Ding-Dong
Advertisement
Five minutes ago, Heavenly King Wu didn't attach much importance to the recommendation letter.
Heavenly King didn't give out many.
But over the years, there were a few.
As a close friend of Heavenly King Xia, recommendation letters were usually sent directly to him.
Heavenly King Wu would naturally give face to his good friend.
Giving that student some convenience was a piece of cake for a Heavenly King.
But that was all.
It was impossible for him to teach him personally just because of a good word from Heavenly King Xia.
How busy was Heavenly King of the Woods?
He didn't have the time to mentor any students!
At most, he would be handed over to be mentored by an experienced first-level mentor.
Two minutes ago…
Heavenly King Wu read most of the letter and nodded slightly.
Outstanding and humble students could always make one think positively of them.
"If this Su Hao is really as Old Xia said, then…"
There was nothing wrong with taking him in as his student.
To be able to teach an outstanding Sprite Trainer, he would also have a lot of face in front of his many old friends.
At this point.
"Woah?"
"He actually came from an ordinary family?"
The difference between ordinary families and Sprite Cultivator families was too great!
It wasn't like ordinary families did not have anyone strong.
Among the Heavenly Kings born in recent years, there were quite a few who came from ordinary backgrounds.
But they…
It was only when they reached the university stage and used the resources of universities that they gradually revealed their talents.
During the high school and college entrance examination, Wu Cuizhi had to admit that students with backgrounds had a huge advantage.
"This Su Hao has achieved so much with his own hard work. Now that he's at Whale Island University, how impressive…"
"He definitely has the disposition of a Heavenly King."
Not those Sprite Trainers who had a chance of becoming Heavenly King-level.
Who among the first-level instructors of Whale Island University didn't have the possibility of stepping into the Heavenly King Tier?
But many people's trump cards were still stuck at pseudo monarch rank after so many years. No matter what they tried, they just couldn't get past it.

They were also in despair…
"I didn't expect that Old Xia would actually introduce such an excellent student to me. Not bad, not bad. I can tell at a glance that he's fated with me!
"It's a pity that it's not time for school to start yet. I can't accept students yet."
According to the rules.
After the freshmen challenge segment, the instructors would actively seek out… Ah, no, the instructors would extend an olive branch. If two instructors valued a student at the same time, the student would have the right to choose.
He could choose to follow one of the instructors.
Heavenly King Wu touched his shiny and thick hair and pondered.
"With Su Hao's strength, there will definitely be quite a lot of first-level instructors who will take a fancy to him, but… not necessarily Heavenly King level."
"When the time comes, I, the dignified Heavenly King Professor, will personally recruit him. Those instructors would not be able to compete. It's clear at a glance who Su Hao chooses."
"It's stable!"
"No… I still have to be more cautious."
Heavenly King Wu then thought, what if… what if another Heavenly King also took a fancy to Su Hao?
Then the probability of him being chosen was only 50%.
It wasn't safe enough.
He thought about it and suddenly had an idea.
"Perhaps, I can…"
...
Whale Island University, Sprite Library.
Su Hao stood in front of this grand and spectacular building. He paused for a moment before walking in.
He took out his temporary student card, "beep", and stepped in.
This library had a total of five floors.
The first and second levels recorded the ordinary unique skills of each element.
For example, the most basic Charging, the slightly more complicated Granule Machine Gun, and the more advanced Energy Ball…
Here, they were all categorized as ordinary unique skills.
He could read it for free.
On the third level, advanced unique skills of each element were recorded.
Cloud Step and Water Path were both on the third level. This level's unique skill cost more, but it was also cheaper than the outside world.
The fourth level recorded the profound meanings created by master-level and Heavenly King-level Sprite Trainers.

It wasn't expensive either.
However, it was very difficult to understand profound meanings just by observing books and videos.
He still had to consult an instructor.
As for the fifth level…
It held the secret manual.
It could be understood as the inherited secret manuals of a certain sect, systematic battle methods, powerful and special killer moves, and so on.
Secret arts were often formed by combining multiple improved unique skills and profound meanings.
Su Hao wasn't in a hurry to go to the third level.
He first walked around the first level.
It was free.
It would be a waste not to look.
He came to a rack more than two meters tall. As far as the eye could see, it was filled with training books for Charging.
It wasn't the same.
There were more than a hundred versions.
"Charging training methods for sprites of different forms and attributes, and many improved Charging methods."
He saw that one of them was actually a Charging mainly designed for the Silkworm Baby.
He took it out and flipped through it.
"Impressive, it's only a little bit more than what the interface unlocked."
On the side of the charging bookshelf was a display screen.
Su Hao reached out and tapped. He saw a video related to the training book.
There was even a Sprite Trainer explaining.
It was very detailed.
If an ordinary student originally arranged training for his sprite, it would take half a month to learn a basic unique skill.
With the detailed tutorials in the library, he could master it in a week.
Any shorter would depend on the Sprite Trainer's comprehension ability.
Therefore, culture was very important.
If Sprite Trainers couldn't understand the tutorials of unique skills, how were they supposed to teach them to sprites? Were they supposed to let sprites learn on their own?
Well… Su Hao glanced at Reverie Butterfly, which was also reading.
It seemed, probably, like… not a big problem.
"These detailed tutorials are also helpful to me."
What Su Hao unlocked was the perfect plan.
But the cost of "crude" to "perfect" and "advanced" to "perfect" was definitely different.
Furthermore…
Ding!
It had been a long time since he heard such a beautiful prompt.
It was useless to read the Charging tutorials, but he had seen too many unique skills that he had never come into contact with before…
Intelligence Points+1.
Su Hao was touched.
If Intelligence Points didn't come soon, he wouldn't be able to open the pot anymore!
Raising three sprites was that difficult!
Su Hao was immersed in the prompt of the increase in Intelligence Points and couldn't help himself.
He went from the Wood-element unique skill area to Fire-element, then Water-element, and then to other elements.
He had even forgotten his original purpose.
...
At the villa.
The sky gradually darkened.
The Water Unicorn Beast on the treadmill snored weakly.
It was asking the Flaming Cloud Crow.
Why hasn't Su Hao returned yet ~?
Flaming Cloud Crow tilted its head.
It indicated that it was also mealtime.
But it didn't panic.
As long as one stared blankly at the wall, their hunger would be blocked outside the door.
This is it!
"Neighhh?"
The Water Unicorn Beast jumped off the treadmill and laid flat on the ground.
Its lifeless eyes stared at the wall.
It stared, then moved to the window and looked at the sky.
Come back quickly!
Unicorn would definitely train hard ~
...
In the library.
A middle-aged man with thick, dark, and glossy hair held a training book in his hand, his mind wandering.
"Strange, wasn't he still here just now?"
"I've already chased after five unique skill areas!"
"Is it that difficult to meet him by chance?"
The middle-aged man scratched his thick hair to calm himself down.
"There's no rush. There's still a long time before school starts. I still have a chance to familiarize myself."
...
On the first floor of the library.
With a huge knowledge bank and genius brain working speed, Su Hao had briefly flipped through the basic and elementary unique skill training books. In just a moment, he had roughly mastered the contents of the book.
"I can't continue to provide intelligence. Looks like I have to go to the next area."
He put the book back on the shelf.
Suddenly, he sneezed. He took a look and realized that it was already so late.
Then…
"Let's go to the third floor and buy the two unique skills first."

The Loyal Ones [Dark Biopunk Fantasy]
TLDR; A slave monster survives horror, war and servitude, while trying to live with himself. Thralls are a race of monstrous slave soldiers, in a universe where biological magic takes the place of technology. Centuries ago, their ancestors were desperate humans, who volunteered to be transformed for the Poison War. Today their unfortunate descendants are still soldiers and laborers. In contract law they are 'corporate wards'; slaves owned largely by arms dealers. Dally Harper starts this story as a champion cage fighter. He is one of the 'lucky' ones. It's all downhill from there. Content Warning: Explicit violence and gore, slavery, implied sexual assault. None of these are framed as positive or glorified, however they do have a strong impact on the plot and main characters.

What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.

Changement : Version Face [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Face. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Ange, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got heads. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28317/changement-version-pile-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.
