Before he went in to sell the lizard, Li Pu still had to sort out the mushrooms.
To be honest, if he sold the remaining Luminous Spiders to other students, he would definitely get more crystal coins. However, considering the limited time he had left, he could only sell it to the school as soon as possible.
On the way over, he had been paying attention to the freshness of the mushrooms on the back of the Mushroom-eating Lizard. A portion of them had already withered away with the death of the Mushroom-eating Lizard due to the lack of life force. If this dragged on, he wouldn’t be able to gather all the relevant items.
“You stay here and watch. I’ll go in first,” Thinking of this, Li Pu ordered the Scarecrow to stay behind.
[Cao!]
The Scarecrow nodded and sat down with its back against the Mushroom-eating Lizard.
As for Li Pu, he walked through the door with the box containing the Luminous Spider.
“Laboratory Building No. 3” was the name of the building written on a board hung outside. Most of the laboratory buildings in the school belonged to the lifestyle department.
The main research of the lifestyle department was the use of summoned beasts in all aspects of life. For example, building buildings, exploring geology, predicting the weather, and even the food industry.
The research on crafts also belonged to the lifestyle department, which included the processing of breeding materials, as well as the creation of inscription weapons and Summoner’s weapons.
The place that the guard had introduced to him was the place where the school purchased magical beasts, the trading station. Due to the nocturnal habits of some magical beasts, sometimes the teachers and students in the school had to hunt in the middle of the night. Therefore, in consideration of this, the trading station was open 24 hours a day, providing service at any time.
However, in a period like this where classes had not started, let alone in the early morning, close to no one would come even during the day.
The first floor of Laboratory Building No. 3 was the front of the trading station.
At this time, in the brightly lit Hall, only a girl with tired eyes was on duty at the front desk. Being on duty today, she was one of those who were more responsible. If it were someone else, they would have long gone to sleep.
“Yawn…! Hmm?” While the girl on duty was yawning when she suddenly saw someone walking in.
It was a handsome boy with a box in his hand. He was limping as if he had been injured.
“Hi…” The girl on duty looked at him with an inquiring expression.
In fact, she was already used to this kind of situation. The teachers and students who came to the trading station were all here to deal with their spoils of war, so it wasn’t strange for them to have various injuries.
“Hello, I would like to sell these,” Li Pu placed the box on the desk.
“Alright, please show me your student card,” The girl on duty turned on her computer program and habitually showed a professional smile. There were many uses for a student card in the school, including registration at the trading station and so on.
“Uh, I don’t think we’ve gotten our student cards yet,” However, this request made Li Pu’s expression turn awkward.
He had heard of the student card before. It would only be distributed on the first day of school.
“You don’t have a student card?” Such an answer stunned the girl on duty.
At first, she had thought that he was a hard-working senior student who had come to school to sell materials for money before school had even started. In the end… He was a new student?
“Wait, something doesn’t seem right,” She thought.
In the next second, she came to her senses. It wasn’t easy for new students to get out of school, especially before school started. Could it be that this boy had caught a magical beast in the school?
Western Capital University was located in the wilderness, so it was impossible for it to be watertight. Sometimes, some agile magical beasts that were good at hiding would still sneak in. For example, rats, cockroaches, and other critters.
“Eww…” At the thought of this, the girl on duty subconsciously took a few steps back. Cockroaches and rats were a huge no.
“?” Li Pu was a little confused, but he still opened the box.
“Hmm?” When she saw the Luminous Spiders in the glass jars, the girl on duty was stunned.
It wasn’t rats or cockroaches as she had imagined, but Luminous Spiders that were hard to find even in the South Forest! And they were still alive?! There were about 30 jars here!
She looked at the Luminous Spider in disbelief, then at Li Pu.
“Wait a moment,” Fortunately, she quickly remembered her duty and rushed into the inner room.
Her job was only to receive the customers. Someone else was in charge of the acquisition.
“Hmm?” Not long after, Li Pu saw a bald old man in a white lab coat walk out.
The key was that he knew this teacher. It was the teacher who had given him the blue beginner’s talisman at the Wind Listener Pavilion the other day.
At this moment, the bald teacher had a sleepy look on his face. It was obvious that he had just been woken up. Due to his seniority and age, this teacher with the surname Tu was called Elder Tu.
As the person in charge of the trading station, he didn’t need to stay on duty. It just so happened that there was a shortage of manpower these days, and there was not much work at all, so he just came here to spend the night.
He didn’t expect to be woken up not long after he fell asleep today.
At this moment, Elder Tu still hadn’t recognized Li Pu. He walked straight to the box full of Luminous Spiders.
“Good lord, did you ransack a spider hole?” Seeing so many Luminous Spiders, he raised his eyebrows.
“Elder Tu…” The girl on duty who was behind him stepped forward and whispered.
What? A new student?
When he raised his head and looked at Li Pu, Elder Tu finally remembered, “It’s you?”
As the last new student to successfully summon a magical beast, he still had some impression of Li Pu.
“Greetings, teacher,” Li Pu, who was also surprised to see him, nodded in greeting.
“Where did you get so many Luminous Spiders from?” Elder Tu’s question was actually the same as the girl on duty.
For the new students, not to mention the number of spiders here, just finding traces of the Luminous Spiders was not easy.
“I picked them up,” Li Pu didn’t lie.
He and the Scarecrow had been dragging the Mushroom-eating Lizard back to school and hadn’t noticed when these Luminous Spiders got latched onto the lizard’s back on the way.
“Picked them up?” When Elder Tu heard this answer, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he thought for a while and realized that this seemed to be the most reasonable answer.
Unless one was extremely lucky, how could a freshman get so many Luminous Spiders?
“Alright. I heard that you’re selling them, right? The school offers 80 crystal coins per spider,” He guessed that Li Pu probably did not know the rules, so he added, “No bargaining,”
“No problem,” Li Pu was overjoyed when he heard the price.
The student who first proposed to buy the Luminous Spiders didn’t lie to him. The price offered by the school was indeed 80 Yuan each.
In other words, the price offered by the students exceeded the school’s purchase price. Those students were quite generous.
Since it was 80 Yuan per spider, his carton of more than 30 jars could thus be sold for more than 2000 Yuan.
To Li Pu, it was exactly what he needed. He could learn new skills again.
