Since there was nothing to do now, Gu Ling wrote down some people's names and looked them up online.
Since they were all of the same age, they must all be students. Gu Ling logged into a Xuexin website and entered his name into the search box. In order to narrow down the scope, he added some filtering conditions.
There must be people with the same name and surname across the country, but they happen to be second-year high school students, and they are in the same city, and they are also beast masters... The scope has been narrowed down a lot at once.
"Two-star beast master..."
"Both pet beasts are warrior-level?"
"Currently studying at Imperial No. 1 Middle School, I once participated in the Chaoyang District Pet Beast Youth Cup and won the championship..."
Gu Ling randomly searched for information on several people. Even though she was mentally prepared, the information she got really surprised her.
These people were obviously the same age, but they had already participated in various competitions, big and small, and won many honors. Gu Ling was surprised and could only sigh with emotion: There is a world outside the world, and there are people outside the world.
Gu Ling pondered in his heart: "The number of graduates in each training camp is less than 20, and the competitors are obviously not weak..."
Although the benefits for graduates of the recommended training camp are very exciting, the difficulty of obtaining a graduation quota is also obvious.
Gu Ling turned to look at Xian Jiu and Naughty Ghost, who were still watching cartoons, and shook his head slightly: "Forget it, let's let them play for a while. Anyway, the recommended training camp will not open until March next year."
Having just finished a friendly match, Gu Ling didn't want to push himself and the beasts too hard.
Moreover, the final exam will be held in half a month, and Gu Ling needs to spend more time on his studies.
If she does poorly in the exam, not only will she be laughed at by Gu Zhou when she returns home, but her second aunt will definitely talk about her the whole winter vacation because of it.
Gu Ling exited the WeChat group and took a look at the account information of his bank card.
The total prize money for the friendly match is 660,000, which has been credited to Gu Ling's bank card.
In the original Qiankun match against Yulan Middle School, Nanping No. 1 Middle School won the match. According to the rules, it could share the top 8 prize money of the other team's team match.
But because Yulan Middle School was disqualified from the competition, that part of the prize money was lost.
Now, including the remaining 188,000 in the original card, Gu Ling had a total of 848,000 in his hand, plus a pet beast resource card worth 2.5 million.
Gu Ling hasn't decided yet what kind of pet resources he should use the pet resource card to exchange for. Some common pet resources can be bought everywhere, so naturally there is no need to use resource cards.
"Xianjiu is about to be promoted to the warrior level, and the subsequent pet beast resources must also be upgraded to a higher level."
"The poison element training of the naughty ghost should also proceed to the next stage, and the ghost element of this department cannot be ignored..."
"..."
The more he thought about it, the more Gu Ling couldn't help but sigh.
Not enough money!
There is really not enough money to spend!
"We still have to continue to make money. It's too difficult to graduate from the recommended training camp. Just in case, we have to find another way to make money quickly..."
Half an hour later, the takeaway for one person and two pets arrived.
After lunch, Gu Ling took the quilts and clothes washed by the washing machine outside to the balcony to dry.
After all the housework was done, Gu Ling took out his mobile phone while sitting on the sofa: "Xianjiu, naughty boy, do you want to play some games?"
"Miwu~"
"Jie Jie~"
Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost's eyes lit up and they immediately agreed.
So, one person and two pets happily played black games.
After playing games for a few hours, it was getting dark. Gu Ling took the two little ones out to have a big meal, then went to the supermarket to stock up on goods, and then came back with some snacks.
Most of the snacks at home were packed by the naughty guy and taken to Hailan City. These days, he has been eating snacks while playing games.
When I returned home during the day, the remaining snacks at home were wiped out by Xianjiu and the naughty ghosts.
As soon as they entered the supermarket, Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost were like wild horses running wild, happily wandering around in the supermarket, but if they liked each other, they would stuff them into the shopping cart.
"Don't buy too much, it's holiday soon, and we won't be living at home then." Gu Ling was pushing the shopping cart behind, reminding the two little guys in front of him, and at the same time, he put his favorite items on the shelf next to him. I took a few bags of potato chips and put them in the shopping cart.
When the naughty ghost heard this, he immediately patted his belly with his chubby hand: "Jie Jie~"
Don't worry, beastmaster, the ghosts will definitely be able to eat them all! Not a drop is left!
Gu Ling sighed helplessly: "...Just this time."
"Jie Jie~" The naughty guy was immediately moved to tears and wished he could stick out his tongue and lick Gu Ling on the spot.
Gu Ling's face changed slightly and he immediately refused: "If you dare to lick me, I won't buy it!"
"Jie Jie~" The naughty ghost blinked innocently and laughed twice.
Xianjiu, who had already run away, saw that Gu Ling did not come, and urged dissatisfiedly: "Miwu~" come here, come here~
In less than a moment, Gu Ling went from pushing a shopping cart to finally letting Xian Jiu control three shopping carts at the same time with his telekinesis.
There is one for Gu Ling, one for Xianjiu, and one for Naughty Ghost.
Hmm... That makes sense.
After finally settling the bill, tens of thousands of dollars of small money evaporated in an instant.
Gu Ling's snacks are very cheap, and most of them are bought by Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost. He accidentally spends tens of thousands of yuan on some animal supplements.
After walking out of the supermarket, Gu Ling stuffed all these large and small bags of snacks into the naughty guy's belly.
"Done!" Gu Ling rubbed his palms that were red from the bag, turned around and glanced casually, and saw someone selling Kongming lanterns across the river.
In the night sky, several Kongming lanterns rose slowly and flew into the distance.
Gu Ling's thoughts moved slightly and he suggested: "Let's go over there and see. Someone is setting off the Kongming lanterns..."
Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost immediately raised their little hands happily to express their agreement.
A bridge was built over the river. Gu Ling walked across the bridge with his two pets and came to the other side of the river.
"Handsome guy, do you want to buy a Kongming Lantern and make a wish?"
"Kongming lantern makes a wish, 30 yuan each, brushes and paints can be provided..."
The owner of the Kongming Lantern seller was shouting. When he saw Gu Ling walking this way, he immediately smiled and said, "Beauty, would you like to buy a Kongming Lantern and make a wish?"
Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost lay on Gu Ling's shoulders, leaning their little heads forward curiously, staring at the Kongming lanterns on the shelves.
Can "Miwu~" really make a wish?
"Jie Jie~" Will the small cake you made a wish fall from the sky?
Gu Ling turned his head and asked the two little guys for their opinions: "Would you like to buy one to play with?"
Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost nodded excitedly: I haven’t played it before, I want to buy it~
"Boss, I want a Kongming Lantern." Gu Ling took out his phone and scanned the payment code.
"Okay, you can choose any of the Kongming lanterns here." The boss pointed to the Kongming lanterns on the left shelf. These Kongming lanterns have been assembled and almost became popular.
The Kongming Lantern has four sides, which can be used to write words and make wishes.
"One person writes one side, and the other side is written together." Gu Ling borrowed three brushes and paints from the boss, and gave two of the brushes to Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost.
"Miwu~"
"Jie Jie~"
After Xianjiu and Naughty Guy got the brushes, they excitedly started to paint on their side.
Gu Ling thought for a moment and then began to write:
[I hope the second uncle and second aunt are in good health]
[I hope the naughty ghost Xianjiu will always be happy]
[Hope to be admitted to Shanghai University]
After Gu Ling finished writing, he looked over it with satisfaction. Seeing that Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost were still writing the picture, he turned his head and looked curiously: "What wishes did you write?"
The next second, Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost blocked Gu Ling's sight with their bodies.
"Miwu~" Beast Controller, no peeking~
"Jiejie~" That's right, that's right~
Seeing the huge reaction from Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost, Gu Ling became even more curious, "So mysterious? What on earth did you write?"
But the two little guys were always guarding against her, so Gu Ling couldn't find a chance to peek, so he had to give up.
"Okay, okay, I won't read it. You write slowly."
Gu Ling stood up and walked to the unwritten side of the Kongming Lantern. After thinking about it, he suggested, "How about we draw a portrait on this side?"
Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost, who had finished tinkering with their bright faces, immediately nodded in agreement when they heard this.
So, one person and two pets began to draw small portraits.
"No, no, why are my legs so short? I have long legs that are easy to cut?"
"Miwu~" needs to add thunder and lightning special effects! This cat is the Lord of Thunder and Lightning!
"Jie Jie~" The ghostly eyes drawn by the beast master are not fierce enough and look silly~
A picture slowly emerged on the Kongming Lantern——
The 'girl' in the middle is holding a big trophy in her hand. On the left is a ghost that looks like a balloon and a dark cloud. In the middle, some red paint is used to draw eyes. On the right is a cat with lightning all over its body. You can vaguely see the slightly twisted cat whiskers.
It's just that the girl has a pair of devil's horns on her head...well, it was added by a naughty person.
There's an extra tail behind him...well, it's from Xianjiu.
By the time Gu Ling noticed, these two guys had already been painted on, and it was too late for her to stop them.
In order to go back for 'revenge', Gu Ling added a happy big red bow on [Naughty Ghost]'s head, and then painted [Xianjiu]'s hair in various colors.
"...Jie Jie!"
"...Miwu!"
Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost looked at 'themselves' in the painting in horror.
Gu Ling chuckled: Come on! Hurt each other!
Xianjiu and Naughty Guy immediately gave up and continued to pick up their paintbrushes and add things to [the girl]!
"...Hey, hey! That's enough for you! Why do I have four hands?!"
"Three eyes is too much!"
"..."
After a while, after some careful tinkering, a 'peerless painting' finally came out.
Gu Ling carefully picked up the Kongming Lantern from the ground and said, "Xianjiu, you naughty boy, get ready to set off the Kongming Lantern."
Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost each held a corner of the Kongming Lantern and looked expectantly at the Kongming Lantern that was about to take off.
"3, 2, 1... let go!"
The next second, the Kongming Lantern slowly rose into the sky. The firelight penetrated the thin paper, and the handwriting written on it was reflected redly.
Gu Ling glanced several times at what was written on the other side by Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost, but unexpectedly, Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost covered their eyes.
"Hey, hey! You two..."
When Gu Ling broke free from the restraints of the two little guys and raised his head again, the Kongming Lantern flew a higher distance, and the contents on it could no longer be seen clearly.
"There seems to be a doll-shooting game over there. Let's go over there and have a look..."
"Miwu~"
"Jie Jie~"
Along this street, Gu Ling took his two pet beasts to play all the way, playing all kinds of mini games.
By 10 o'clock in the evening, one person and two pets finally reluctantly prepared to go home.
On the way home, Gu Ling was still thinking about the "wishes" on the Kongming Lantern:
"What did you write on the Kongming Lantern? Just reveal it~"
Xianjiu and the naughty ghost looked at each other and laughed with a mean expression:
"Miwu~" This is a secret~
"Jie Jie~" Guess the beast master~
"Tch~ If you don't tell me, don't tell me~ I'm not curious at all!" Gu Ling curled his lips and ran forward quickly for a distance. After getting away from Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost, he suddenly shouted to the back:
"Let's see who can run to the gate of the community first! Let's start now!"
After saying that, Gu Ling ran away immediately without looking back.
Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost were stunned for a second, and then immediately chased after them when they reacted!
Damn it~
Beast master, you run away! You don’t follow martial ethics!
"..."
…
the next day.
After the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, the school held a commendation meeting for the friendly match.
Gu Ling and others stepped onto the stage one after another to receive the bonuses issued by the school.
Prize money for the champion of the friendly team competition: 50,000 RMB for each official player and 20,000 RMB for each substitute player
Prize money for the champion of the friendly individual competition: 100,000 yuan
Prize money for the top 8 in the friendly individual competition: 5,000 yuan
Except for Gu Ling who won the championship in the individual competition, Lu Jiuwen and Xia Zihan, although they were not in the top 8 of the individual competition, they still achieved the best results in previous years, so the school also prepared bonuses.
After receiving the award, Huang Weiwei jumped towards Gu Ling with excitement on her face: "Wow, wow, wow, Ling Ling, I can also get a bonus of 20,000 yuan!"
"The school is really willing to sacrifice money this time." Gu Ling also happily received 150,000 yuan.
Xia Zihan's eyebrows were curved and he was in a good mood: "In previous years, when the team reached the top 8, even if it was a formal team member, the school only awarded a bonus of 10,000 yuan."
Huang Weiwei smiled: "Then I have benefited from you, hehe~"
After the commendation meeting, all teachers and students returned to the classroom.
After Gu Ling and the others became 'celebrities' in the school for a few days, the other students gradually became distracted by new gossip or the upcoming final exam.
The elite second-grade class also resumed normal classroom learning. They were writing and writing in the classroom from morning to night, absorbing various knowledge points.
Although the competitive placement test at the beginning of the school year accounts for 70% of the grades, none of the students who may enter the elite class are real scumbags. They usually complain a few times, but when they really want to work hard to study, they only score one test after another.
In such a learning atmosphere, everyone is studying hard.
Unknowingly, half a month passed quickly...
One day, during the break between classes, an exclamation rang out:
"The time for the final exam is out. It will be Monday and Tuesday next week, which is the 16th and 17th."
"Wuhu! We will be liberated soon!"
"Ouch! The wonderful winter vacation is just around the corner!"
"..." (End of this chapter)
