Chapter 565: Chapter 565

When the group arrived at the academy square, many people were already there. Min Xi was in the middle, delivering a speech, rallying morale. There were quite a few people busily rushing back and forth, but in an orderly manner.

When Min Xi finished his speech, Old Mi brought Du You and the others to the front. "Hey brother, look who I brought with me. He’s quite powerful," Old Mi called out from afar.

Min Xi glanced at their direction and a smile appeared in his eyes—strong reinforcement arrived just as he was about to take action.

"It’s Du You. You are famous in our generation. Are these two Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi? The reputation of the Twin Archers is also quite significant. Having you all here boosts our confidence."

"What? The Twin Archers?" Many people, upon hearing this moniker, widened their eyes as if trying to pierce through the large cloaks they wore to see the pair within.

Du You didn’t anticipate that the sisters would be so popular, and nodded awkwardly, "Yes, it’s them." The fact that the sisters were his unwavering followers was no secret in the academy.

Seeing Du You’s acknowledgement, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi unhooded themselves, revealing their exquisite faces. The gaze of many people onto the sisters gradually turned enamoured.

"So it’s you. I remember now, you were absolutely brilliant on the battlefield."

Old Mi finally remembered, which caused some consternation for Du You. This fellow was more interested in women than battle. The moment Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi revealed themselves, he recognized them. Yet he hadn’t recognized him, Du You, despite his standout performance. Did his handsome face have such a low recognition factor?

Ignoring Du You’s self-depreciation, Min Xi was delighted: "We’ll move out in two days. Your abilities will be extremely useful on the frontlines in a large-scale battlefield. We will have to rely on you this time."

Du You nodded, "Of course, I’ll do what I can."

With two days to prepare, it would be best to rest here. After all, there was no rush.

After discussing the details, Min Xi assigned someone to prepare a room for Du You. Min Xi had many tasks to attend to and wouldn’t be able to entertain him all the time; Du You didn’t believe he held that much sway either.

Entering the room, Lin Yucha asked somewhat puzzledly, "Why do we have to join them? Haven’t we always avoided teaming up with others?"

Du You said lazily, "I don’t like having other people around because it’s bothersome. Wherever there are people, there’s conflict. More people means more trouble. It’s better by ourselves without bickering over anything."

"But this time is different. We need high purity Light Element Origins, which can only be found in two places. Where light energies are concentrated, and where negative energies are concentrated. The expedition we are joining this time aims for the very heart of the great plateau, which is also a concentration of dark energy."

"So that’s why! To use their forces to achieve our own goal. You’re clever, master," Lin Yucha said in admiration.

Lin Yucha rolled her eyes but asked, still unsure, "What I don’t understand is why you are so adamant about acquiring a unicorn? There are so many great pets, and moreover, you are a Dark Shaper."

To Lin Yucha, Du You being a Dark Shaper was a significant aspect. He could create unique Dark Creatures, which functioned just like pets and could level up as his skills improved.

The key was that these Dark Creatures could use pet equipment, which was much more effective than for normal pets. This profession had no need to raise a pet, especially one with a light attribute. Being a dark attribute himself meant having a light attribute pet would be problematic.

Du You shrugged, "I wish I had a choice. Our team lacks a Healer. Being dark attribute, I can hardly learn normal healing skills, and neither can the two of you."

Their peculiarities did hinder them in this regard.

"Besides, our large team would benefit greatly from support abilities, which we lack, but a Unicorn can provide. It can both support and heal, although it can’t heal Dark Creatures."

Although the Light healing could feel like murder to his Dark pet, its healing effect on him, the two sisters, and even his Xiaozi was excellent. Coupled with its incredible support ability, this was what Du You valued most. As for Dark pets, he could create a better one.

"Most importantly, while it is troublesome to get a Unicorn, it is one of the creatures most researched by the academy. I’ve already collected files from the academy. It has the complete evolution path of a unicorn." Fresh chapters posted on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵

That was what Du You cared about the most. Unlike skills, a pet was a wholly new Profession. In Du You’s eyes, it should be utilized to fill the gaps in their team.

Being a Summoner without augmented professions makes it hard for Du You to play to his full potential. Even though Light attributes couldn’t heal his pets, its other support abilities were fine.

Du You was all about doing things properly in one go. Conveniently, the academy had the world coordinates of Unicorns and a full set of research materials on Unicorns, or Du You would not have set his sights on it.

"We’ll stick with the main force this time, finish this phase of the plan, and then we can look for a Unicorn. We’re just going to give it a try this time. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll level up and look for other pets."

Sharing a glance, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi were actually worried that Du You might wholly obsess over this. Many people from the academy who were fixated on unicorns ended up being second-tier after graduation.

Because where the unicorns lived, there was a large enchantment for protection. Once you surpass the second-tier level, you can’t get in. Thus, anyone wanting a Unicorn must suppress their own levels.

Perhaps Unicorns existed in other worlds, but those would be on a much higher level. Facing those high-levelled Unicorns, it would be impossible to turn them into pets.

Time flew by, and two days passed peacefully. What puzzled Du You was that no one came to cause him trouble; the script didn’t seem right. It wouldn’t usually be this quiet, could it?
