Chapter 457: Chapter 457

When Du You came back, he saw that Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi were already up and were preparing today’s lunch, or perhaps, dinner. In short, the three meals of the day were all combined into one.

Upon seeing Du You, the two familiar sisters couldn’t help but blush, looking quite embarrassed.

"We are already like an old married couple, what is there to be embarrassed about?" Du You walked over, pulling the two sisters to sit with him.

The two didn’t resist, obediently sitting next to Du You.

"Look what I’ve brought for you, I’ve got some good stuff." Du You proceeded to show them the Auto-Recovery Quiver, Deflection Amulet, and Swift Wind Amulet he had bought and handed them over.

The two sisters’ eyes lit up upon seeing these items. After becoming Professionals, they knew how important equipment and strength was to them. They didn’t hesitate and after expressing their thanks, the sisters promptly equipped the items.

"By the way, Master, you mentioned before that the College Battle is about to start. Is there anything we can help with?"

Du You nodded, pulling out some related information as he ate and spoke, "Indeed, there is. According to the rules, each person can bring three followers, but they must be absolute followers bound by a slave contract. If not, they cannot be used." Other contracts were entirely different and could be trained in different ways.

Only after a slave contract was signed would they be recognized as individuals.

According to various competition rules, such followers could not be used in single combat situations, but could be used in all other situations. After all, the number was sizable, and the absolute followers represented a part of the master’s own strength.

This test could be said to be quite humane. If you wanted to take advantage of this rule, you had to pay a price. For those who didn’t want to waste time and energy on training followers, this rule was useless.

Unfortunately, training absolute followers required one’s own Crystal Coins. Other methods simply couldn’t enhance their strength. Even if their families helped, they could only provide some equipment, nothing more.

To most people, these followers were more trouble than they were worth. Even if they trained them, they would eventually give up. Du You, with his extraordinary fighting power and always having enough Crystal Coins, was vastly different from most people who didn’t have enough Crystal Coins.

"Great, we can go together," Lin Yushi cheered happily.

Lin Yucha only nodded gently. Although they shared a telepathic link, they still had different personalities.

After eating, Du You led his two sisters back to their room. Under the shy gazes of the sisters, a new day of entertainment activities started. Over the next few days, they were either familiarizing themselves with their own strength or enjoying themselves together.

The sisters’ original procurement plans were disrupted by Du You.

Time passed by quickly and before they knew it, the date for the College Competition was fast approaching.

This time, almost every student was participating. Du You and his two sisters arrived at the college early in the morning. The gathering place was the same as before, and today’s crowd was possibly the largest ever.

What surprised Du You though, was when he arrived, he found Baobao sticking his tongue out as if playing the role of a husky. The look in his eyes, the postures, all reminded one of a husky.

"What’s wrong with him, why is he behaving like that?" Du You asked, thoroughly confused.

Li Xian, who approached from the side, said: "No choice, our class leader probably won’t be able to participate this time."

"What happened? He looks pretty strange." To be accurate, he didn’t just look strange, he looked downright insane. While Du You was speaking, Baobao suddenly started doing a Shamanic Dance.

This act immediately caught the attention of even more spectators, as it was truly strange.

"It’s alright, he will recover momentarily, but for the most part, he’ll remain ." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

Li Xian informed those who had gathered, "Baobao’s head was blown up in the previous Other World expedition, that’s why he’s ."

"What, his head was blown off and he still survived?" someone exclaimed in shock.

"What’s so strange about that? Baobao has the healing capabilities of an earthworm. As long as not all his hearts are shattered, he can’t die." Clearly, this unique healing ability of Baobao was well-known within the class.

"But is he really okay acting ? If he’s insane, wouldn’t it be better if he were dead?"

Zhang Yu also came over and said, "It should be alright. I asked Baobao a while ago. If his head was blown off, he would need some rest time. I wonder what is his current condition."

Li Xian shrugged, "I’ve asked the physician. Apparently, he needs around seven more days to recover, so he clearly won’t make it this time. It’s a pity."

The people around also chimed in, "Indeed, it’s said that many major powerhouses will be watching the competition for talented individuals to take under their wing. If Baobao misses this opportunity, he will surely regret it later."

Scouting for talent from universities to join their forces was a common practice. Many Professionals had affiliations even before graduation but were required to stay in school until graduation before leaving. During this period, they would receive aid from their affiliated powers which was to be paid back through work after graduation.

Every College Competition was a time for these major powers to be active.

Of course, if one does not wish to join, it’s fine. In this world, being an independent wanderer or functioning in small teams were the norm, making up over 70% of Professionals.

"Everyone, prepare yourselves. This time, we primarily function as class units and would collectively obey the student council’s orders. Because we’re not very familiar with each other, there is no need to form large teams. I am one of the commanders this time, and will definitely create better opportunities for our class," Xi Qianxue, who had appeared at some point, proclaimed from the front.

Xi Qianxue, who they had not seen for a while, now exuded a stronger aura. She seemed to have developed the attribute of a queen.

After hearing her, Du You somewhat understood. This woman had indeed joined the student council and had even become a significant figure amongst the freshmen. Her aura had reached the second tier.

Undeniably, Xi Qianxue was truly a top candidate in terms of talent and ability. Compared with the others in her class, Xi Qianxue’s glow was dazzling. Conversely, some people were gradually becoming ordinary.
