《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 184: Returning to School
Advertisement
Su Hao stayed in Sprite Care Village for the time being.
On the fifth day after the end of the Sprite Cultivator Cup, he finally finished typing the paper.
It was uploaded onto the Union's intranet.
"I feel like I finally completed my homework…"
He stretched and looked at Reverie Butterfly.
The little rascal had also been very concerned about the secret manual training in the past few days.
It constantly constructed spiritual orbs.
In the beginning, even if the orb it constructed wasn't disturbed by external forces, it could only last for an hour or two.
This meant that its mastery of the solidification method was insufficient.
But today…
"Gurgle~"
In front of Butterfly, a white, translucent, and colorful bead revolved around it.
Under its control, the glass bead hit the floor, producing a crisp sound.
But the bead was intact.
"Gurgle~!"
Su Hao squatted and pinched it with two fingers.
It felt cold to the touch.
"How do you feel?"
"Gurgle~"
"At most, it can store 20% of spirit power. The power of the illusion-element unique skill is increased by 10%, the strength of the thought system is slightly increased, and the strength of spirit power is also slightly increased…"
"Not bad, not bad at all!"
Su Hao touched his chin.
One spiritual orb wasn't the little rascal's limit. As long as it was familiar, it could stabilize three spiritual orbs.
It could store 60% spirit power, and the illusion unique skill could increase 30%… The improvement was already very great.
"The Spiritual Orb can also be used as a weapon attack, and even… can self-destruct at critical moments."
It was too functional!
"Try?" He looked at Reverie Butterfly.
It controlled the orb to fly in the room. Xiu, xiu, xiu, its speed was much faster than before.
But when it hit a wall, the orb stopped.
"Gurgle~"
It said that it couldn't bear to hit it directly.
It felt like it would shatter, gurgle ~!
"Alright, you can try again after you've completely stabilized the pearl in the future."

"It's indeed not good to experiment in a hotel. If anything is broken, we still have to compensate."
"Gurgle~"
Butterfly nodded.
Su Hao could teach them.
...
Five days. Most of the school representatives had already returned.
Only a small number of people remained in the Sprite Care Village.
Su Hao was one of them.
At lunch.
Master Yao walked over in big strides and said the news he wanted to hear the most.
"The matter of the personal laboratory has been confirmed. You completely meet the requirements. You can apply for an interest-free loan."
"But you have to have a plan. Otherwise, the annual maintenance cost of a laboratory isn't low."
"Apart from that, you also have to understand the land, equipment, personnel, and other early-phase investments needed for a laboratory. You can only get the loan after making a thorough calculation."
"Also, when choosing the location, you have to fight for local policy benefits… I'll give you my assistant's number later. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask him."
"Thank you, instructor."
Su Hao really didn't know so much. He even felt a little dizzy listening to it.
"In addition…" Master Yao said again," The school has the intention to invest in your laboratory. The bank funds can only be used on laboratory construction. The subsequent maintenance and experiment expenses are still quite high. "
"Apart from that, the school can also provide you with some information and connections."
"You can consider it."
Su Hao expressed that he would.
Over the past few days, there were quite a lot of masters and experts who had extended an olive branch to him.
There were also many people who wanted to invest in his laboratory.
But...
It was impossible for him to agree.
"You can slowly accumulate connections."
"There doesn't seem to be a lack of experiments…"
For example, he needed to experiment with the Wood Mantis's evolution research.
But the experiments of others were exploration in the dark. He was deducing based on the answers, collecting relevant data, and providing the thesis with sufficient theoretical support.

It was different.
Therefore, he had to have full control over the laboratory before he could do anything.
No matter how poor or bitter, he couldn't let others invest in it.
But some friendly sponsors…
For example, a Sprite Cultivator said that he could gift him ten Wood Mantis.
"After the laboratory is completed, we can first create the evolutionary paper of Prayer Mantis. Then, we can conduct some experiments on the jade powder set meal and make it suitable for sale."
Su Hao thought about it. "I don't lack money or information, but I lack people."
Even if it was a small-scale laboratory, it needed a high-level Sprite Cultivator and a few assistants.
It was a personal laboratory, he had to get security.
If he wanted to register a company, he would need a professional manager to manage it. That would be even more troublesome.
And these…
He didn't know any of them!
"It's too difficult for me."
At the side.
Lin Xueguang was very shocked that Junior Su had owned a personal laboratory at such a young age.
When he heard this, a big question mark appeared on his forehead.
"What's so difficult for you?"
...
For the sake of building his personal laboratory, Su Hao was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.
The final location of the laboratory was set at a county city under Yunhua City, very close to An City.
Then…
Laboratory construction plans!
Plan design!
Construction unit selection!
Floor plan design!
The design for the electricity, air conditioning, fire control, drainage, and so on!
Buying equipments!
Renovation!
And so on… planning.
He made a list.
Half a month later…
"I'm finally done!"
Su Hao felt that he was probably crippled.
Then, he looked at the to-do list in his hand.
Well, about 200 million yuan.
Many equipment related to sprites cost at least ten million yuan each.
"It's too damn expensive…"
For a moment, he wondered if he could recoup his losses.
...
After applying for a loan, it would still take some time before the construction started.
Fortunately, someone as young and promising as him… wasn't the first to start building a laboratory during his university days.
There was already a process for reference.
Su Hao didn't need to monitor it himself. He flew back to Whale Island University.
"I'm finally back."
"Gurgle~"
Butterfly nodded fervently.
After accompanying Su Hao for so long, it had it too difficult.
If I had known earlier, I would have handed the mission to dazed crow, gurgle ~!
"I'm giving you a holiday. Call Flaming Cloud Crow and the others over."
"Gurgle~"
"Oh yeah, I forgot about the summoning."
"Gurgle, → _ →"
He was rather satisfied that he didn't see the Flaming Cloud Crow and other sprites in the villa.
Su Hao rested for a while.
About an hour or two later, he came to the training area and opened a venue.
He spread his fingers and summoned the three sprites, Flaming Cloud Crow, Water Unicorn Beast and Electric Bear.
"Squawk?"
Flaming Cloud Crow appeared in mid-air, covered in flaming feathers.
The Water Unicorn Beast called, "Neigh neigh".
Electric Bear… Electric Bear was stuffing food into its mouth.
"Howl? Sob, sob, sob ~"
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
He observed the Electric Bear. It had gained two more pounds compared to a few weeks ago.
Its strength had also increased significantly.
"Have you mastered the meat bouncing thunder ball?"
"Howl howl ~!"
Alright.
In fact, he had already seen it on the interface information. He just felt that he had to ask it personally.
It was like checking homework.
He then commanded the three sprites to utilise their signature unique skills and secret techniques.
He looked at the raging fire figure in the sky.
Su Hao nodded slightly.
"Flaming Cloud Crow, we can almost arrange for it to evolve. After it evolves, it can step into a phase where its strength can increase rapidly."
"Only missing the Heart of the Sun…"
He had gotten it back when he was at the Sprite Cultivator Cup.
