This is the hotel within the academy, exclusively for visitors from outside the school. Now it is also open to students taking the re-examination.
In the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel, many students dine here, including Heshia.
She ordered a T5-level seared red fish set meal. She had never eaten this kind of fish in Payin City, so she wanted to try it. It must be said that the taste was really good. The surface of the sweet and tender fish meat was slightly browned, and the herbs that were paired with it made it so delicious.
Its rich taste greatly increases appetite.
"Don't wait and try. No snake eats fish."
The girl tapped the small snake swimming on the table with the end of her chopsticks to calm it down a little, and then continued eating.
She has fine light gray long hair, smooth and shoulder-length. Because she had to go all out in the retest, Heshia did not wear glasses today, and her beautiful face was also revealed. However, her figure is still a little slender and not fully grown.
Kai, among this group of students, he is not too conspicuous.
"Hello, can you sit here?" A girl with short hair wearing a simple headband came to the girl.
"Okay." The girl looked around and found that there were gradually more and more people in the restaurant. No wonder this girl came over to share a table with her.
Looking at the indigo snake coiled on the table, the short-haired girl asked curiously: "Are you also a student here to take the reexamination?"
"Yes."
"Awesome, me too, by the way, this is my 'partner'." As she said something, she thought of something, turned out the backpack on her back, and took out a big crab with a blue back and a white background.
"Isn't it very majestic, hahaha~" She introduced her partner with a smile.
"This is the 'Tidecaller Crab'. There is this kind of creature in my hometown. I didn't expect to meet such a good partner during this retest~"
"By the way, my name is Miana, from the North Third District, where are you."
"My name is Hesia, from North Seventh District."
"North Seventh District, I have never been there. Seeing how beautiful Heshia is, I always feel like it would be a good place."
The girl shook her head, "Actually, it's not much different from other areas in the north."
During the small meeting where the two introduced each other, Miana heard a shout not far away and immediately stood up.
"Okay, I'll come over right now!"
"Wait a minute, I'm going to bring lunch." After saying that, she put the backpack and crabs on the table, then quickly ran to the window and took the dinner plate that was handed out.
The freshly fried steak is sizzling on the black base, exuding an attractive aroma and color.
"Ah haha, I can finally have a good meal today." She picked up the knife and fork, looking eager to try it.
After cutting off a piece and tasting it, she chewed it with satisfaction, feeling the chewy texture of the hot beef.
Then Miana cut off another large piece of oily steak and handed it to the big blue-shell crab next to her, so that it could eat it too.
"You can't treat my good partner badly." She said energetically.
Such behavior made Heshia feel a little uneasy about her conscience. It seemed a bit inhumane not to give the little snake any food. But after thinking about it, it was still a bit strange to feed the snake fish, so she had to take out the snack bag and take out a handful of meat pellets and put it on the
In front of the indigo snake.
After the two got acquainted with each other, Miana continued to chat with Heshia. She was like a little fan who couldn't stop talking about what she had seen and heard along the way and all kinds of complaints.
"As expected, you have to have a big meal when you come to the North District. I finally managed to get some money from my father. It would be a waste if I don't use it."
…
"It's impossible to save money. He will check my wallet balance, so it's better to spend it as early as possible for peace of mind."
…
"We have a big lake and a lot of fish farms, so I no longer want to eat fish, but I am very interested in other meats."
…
"Have you ever been to the North Third District, Heshia? I can take you around the area next time you come. The sightseeing at the bottom of the lake is actually pretty good."
…
"Most of the cities in the Northern Third District are built on lakes and shores, and the sun is very strong. This is how my skin tanned. It is definitely not natural."
…
"Land without lakes is basically a desert, but there are many photovoltaic power generation bases, which are all connected together. Sometimes you have to wear sunglasses when going out, otherwise it will blind your eyes."
After some exchanges, Miana also became interested in the city where the girl was located.
"If you live underground, will it be very hot? I remember the teacher said that the closer you are to the underground, the stronger the geothermal heat will be."
"This is true, but the absolute altitude of the layer where Payin City is located is actually not low, and it does not reach the high-heat zone. The city has a circulating cooling system to discharge the heat to the surface. In addition, the underground river in Payin City also takes away the heat.
It absorbs a lot of heat, so the temperature is always very stable."
"This seems very good, and it seems very safe to live underground." Miana said that in the North Third District where she is located, all kinds of buildings and outdoor equipment must be equipped with waterproof and rainproof facilities, otherwise they will be easily broken.
"Each has its pros and cons." The girl nodded.
After lunch, the two of them walked to the assessment location for the fourth level, and talked about the assessment on the way.
"My partner is the Tide Sequence 2 Blue Claw Crab. What it can do is the pincer attack with its pair of large pincers. The rest is that its shell is relatively hard and not very flexible. I don't know what the last level will be like, but there is always
I have a hunch that it will be related to the battle, and it won’t let us pass so easily.”
Heshia also introduced the sleepy little snake on her wrist. Just after feeding, this guy seemed to be sleepy. It is true that snakes are like this. Except for hunting, they spend most of their time dormant.
"Is Hesia saying that she wants her companions to become stronger?" After hearing the girl's inference, Miana also began to think.
"Indeed, I feel that the means of these 'partners' nowadays are always limited. If we help them develop them, they should be able to become stronger."
"The theme is 'bond', which must make the companion stronger, otherwise blind orders will be no different from a slave relationship."
"Let's make our 'companions' stronger so that we can highlight our value as contestants. Sure enough, we can advance together hand in hand. This is the 'bond' between us!" She raised the big crab in her hand, its blue
The back shell sparkles in the sun.
"But what should we do specifically, temporary training, or find a way to advance him to the next level?" She continued to have difficulties.
Are you going to advance? Hesia thought thoughtfully and looked at the little snake on her wrist. Soon she picked up the personal terminal at hand and began to query the huge database on Qixing.com.
There are many ways for snakes to advance, some with the goal of transforming into dragons, transforming into those powerful dragons in mythology, some with the goal of highlighting their own talents and characteristics. There are also those with the goal of auxiliary abilities, such as the alien beasts in ancient legends.
After all, in modern society, the combat effectiveness of extraordinary animals is limited, and their other roles in society will be greater. For example, in "The Dream of Glass", Botis rarely trains poisonous creatures to fight, but treats them more as
To produce venom.
His eyes passed through introductions and papers, and soon Heshia also had an idea.
"Hesia." Suddenly Miana's voice sounded in her ears.
"What's wrong, Miana?" The girl took half a step back cautiously. It wasn't that she didn't like Miana, it was just a long-term conditioned reflex.
"Help me, can you help me check the promotion direction of the Tidecaller Crab?" She held the big crab in her arms and shook it in front of the girl, making the big guy in her arms just blow bubbles.
"Okay." In fact, it's not a big deal, and the girl nodded in agreement.
So the two of them were not in a hurry to go to the assessment point. Instead, they sat on the lawn under the tree and began to read and discuss.
