Start With Contracting Sprites

The Luohan Panda Elder spoke human language.

It looked at the group of Bear King Mountain sprites and said, "You have five minutes to consider. Then, on the wooden board, mark out the human you have agreed on…"

Most sprites, of course, couldn't read or count.

But there was a huge wooden board behind Su Hao, on which circle marks were drawn with bear claws.

It represented him.

Some contestants had a line behind them, while others had an x.

It made Su Hao shake his head slightly.

The culture level of Bear King Mountain's sprites seemed very limited.

In comparison, even the Dazed Crow and the Dumb Unicorn with limited literacy were more cultured than those silly bears.

They were not illiterate to the extent that they couldn't count.

"Indeed, it's a very correct choice on my part to arrange nine years of basic education for sprites."

The Luohan Panda Elder roared a bunch of things.

"…You can only draw one pattern. It's useless to draw two. You can also choose not to draw. Alright, now each bear will receive the wooden board…"

A few Luohan Pandas carried a pile of wooden planks the size of half a door and handed them to the bears who were preparing to participate in the voting.

Compared to the bears present, the number of wooden boards prepared seemed a little less.

The Luohan Panda Elder could tell.

With its rich experience and brain speed, it quickly counted the bears and wooden boards present and said, "Those who only want to watch and don't want to vote, stand aside. Don't get the wooden boards."

But there were still not many bears who went to the side to watch the show.

The Luohan Panda Elder found it strange.

"In the past years, it's already considered a lot if there were 100 bears."

It wasn't necessary to participate in the voting segment. Many bears ignored it completely.

Those who were playing games continued to play games, those who were fiddling with food continued to fiddle with food…

Some were so engrossed that they didn't even know that humans had arrived.

"But why are there so many bears here today?"

The Luohan Panda Elder was puzzled. It didn't even have enough wooden planks prepared. It could only let the other bears run down the mountain and chop a few large trees to transport them up.

On the mountain?

Those couldn't be slashed. If they were slashed, it would become Bald King Mountain.

Their Bear King Mountain lineage also knew how to protect their environment!

Ten minutes passed.

Those who received the wooden boards, those who didn't, a group of bears muttered and looked at the contestants from time to time.

Su Hao felt like they were looking at him.

He couldn't help but touch his chin and think. "I'm indeed the most handsome boy in the crowd."

During the break, he poked Reverie Butterfly again and asked about the canvassing.

"Gurgle~"

"What, you said that not only did you pull votes, you even got the other bears to help pull votes?"

"Gurgle~"

"You even said that you've gotten your hands on a bunch of fangirls again?"

"Gurgle~!"

It nodded, looking like it wanted him to quickly praise itself.

But Su Hao didn't think so.

Where was this? It was Bear King Mountain!

Most bears were relatively naive, but those big boss bears that had lived for hundreds or thousands of years were not that simple.

Even the Su-style sprite delicacies that he had made himself had only received the approval of the Tyrant Bear Chef.

With Big Boss Xiong in front, many Bear tribe sprites also had extraordinary levels. How could they be convinced by the little rascal?

"Never mind, 20 votes are definitely enough anyway. It's time to consider which sprite to choose."

Su Hao sank into deep thought.

He started to use the interface to check the information of the sprites one by one.

Unfortunately, there were too many sprites, and their aptitudes weren't written on the surface like "red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple" or "SSS → E". He needed to look carefully, and it was a little confusing.

Finally…

The Luohan Pandas on the side used their claws to chop out wooden planks and distributed them.

The Elder Panda paused and said, "Start marking the humans you acknowledge, then hand over the wooden board."

A group of Bear tribe sprites of all sizes were using their claws to scratch.

A moment later…

The Luohan Panda kept the wooden planks and piled them in front of Elder Panda.

The Luohan Panda Elder looked at Heavenly King Xiong and the others. "We're starting to tabulate the data. Mr. Xiong, please be the notary."

The muscular Heavenly King Xiong nodded and walked forward.

He was familiar with the segment.

He knew that he had to help to tabulate the data so as to prevent the Bear King Mountain's sprites from making mistakes in their calculation.

Su Hao and the other contestants stood on the other side.

Wu Hang looked at him, unwilling to admit defeat.

The sixteen-year-old girl looked a little nervous and not that confident.

Similarly, there were also three to four others.

They didn't hook in enough bears.

Looking at the Luohan Panda Elder on the other side, they swallowed nervously.

Finally…

The Luohan Panda Elder picked up the first plank, turned to look at the eight contestants, and compared the pattern.

It said, "Su Hao one vote."

It picked up the second piece and glanced at it. "Su Hao two votes."

Then, it picked up the third piece. "Su Hao three votes."

Wu Hang was nervous.

He looked at the bears frequently. He really wanted to know whether those bears who played "If it's a sprite, then go up 100 levels" with him had voted for him.

Unfortunately, there were too many bear sprites, and they looked similar, so he couldn't recognize them.

At this moment, Luohan Panda Elder, who had picked up the fourth plank, finally paused and looked towards the contestants.

It seemed to be comparing the pattern.

"It's someone else's vote, right?"

Many people thought so.

Then, he saw Luohan Panda Elder show Heavenly King Xiong the wooden board. Heavenly King Xiong also shook his head.

Elder Panda shouted, "Who drew it? What a mess, invalid vote!"

Wu Hang: "???"

Pieces of wood were tabulated.

Su Hao's vote count rose from one digit to two digits, then to three digits.

The other contestants were stunned.

Especially Wu Hang and Chen Ming.

Their chances were very high. Those bears vowed solemnly and said that they would vote for them.

In the end? What was the result!?

Su Hao had more than 100 votes.

Three votes for Wu Hang.

Chen Ming got four votes.

Why, why did it turn out to be like this?

They were all a bunch of liar bears!

The Heavenly Kings and soon-to-be Heavenly Kings were also a little confused.

Heavenly King Xiong was the same.

They compared it over and over again and realized that the tabulation was indeed correct.

Su Hao's pattern wasn't the easiest to draw either.

Then why was there such a huge difference?

Even Heavenly King Wu couldn't understand.

He believed that he already knew Su Hao very well, but at this moment, he still felt that there was a mysterious veil covering his little junior.

It was simply… awesome.

Heavenly King Wu was very satisfied. He didn't care so much, as long as it was awesome.

At this moment…

Su Hao found it a little difficult to understand.

"There should only be 70 to 80 bears that I've fed before, right?"

"I am meeting many bears for the first time."

Su Hao thought for a moment.

He came to a conclusion.

These bears must have been attracted by my irresistible charm.

After all, I'm so handsome. Even if my charm transcends species, it's also reasonable and logical!

Besides, those bears kept looking over!

The case was solved!

"Gurgle ~?"

Butterfly slowly typed out a question mark and grabbed his hair.

It was only then that Su Hao realized that he was carrying a butterfly.

His mind was stuck for a moment before he suddenly reacted.

"Wait…"

"No way…"

His eyes moved up.

He glanced at Reverie Butterfly, then at the bears in the distance.

After staring straight for a while, he came to a conclusion that he found somewhat unacceptable.

Those bears actually…

Were looking at Reverie Butterfly!

"But butterflies and bears aren't the same species, right?

"Could it be that cuteness is more advantageous than handsomeness?"

"It may also be because the little rascal is a sprite."

"Gurgle~!"

Butterfly called out unhappily.

It emphasized that it relied on techniques!

No need to act cute, coo ~!

...

The voting results were unacceptable to many.

Su Hao: 349 votes.

The others… added up to only 20-odd votes.

Why was it so little?

Su Hao had already solved the case.

The key was the ten minutes before the vote.

Most of the "fan boys and girls" bears directly assimilated the small number of bears that originally intended to vote for others.

Anyway, it was just a vote.

They had only interacted with humans for a day. Could their relationship be stronger than the brothers and sisters of the bear clan?

Of course it was to show off.

...

Wu Hang, Chen Ming, and the others were still confused.

A contestant without a name suddenly said, "I… I think I saw it. When his Reverie Butterfly was playing games, there were so many bears surrounding it."

With that said, Wu Hang also had an impression of it.

At first, he saw a place surrounded by circles of bears, like a wall. At that time, he didn't see what kind of sprites were inside.

He didn't think too much about it.

Later, when he passed by a large room, he saw an image of many bears sitting in rows.

"Could it be…"

He looked over.

Chen Ming also looked at Su Hao. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. He was also thinking.

A moment later…

"I see, I understand!"

He said, "Making sprite set meals is just Su Hao's smoke screen. His real goal is to cover that sprite."

"It's very likely." Wu Hang continued, "I saw Su Hao's Flaming Cloud Crow and Water Cloud Horse following him, and I was wondering where that Reverie Butterfly went. So it turns out that Reverie Butterfly was the killer move he arranged."

"Impressive…"

The others sighed in envy.

Among the eight, Su Hao was indeed the one who received the most attention.

Many people noticed Su Hao's actions.

When Chen Ming was feeding the sprites, he tried his best to avoid Su Hao, but he didn't expect…

...

"This junior of yours is indeed… extraordinary."

Heavenly King Lu sighed and said, "He's much stronger than you were back then."

Heavenly King Wu: "???"

He snorted and said, "I've long expected this. In the challenge segment at the beginning of our Whale Island University's school term, Little Su used a similar strategy. Everything that had happened was in his plans. Even if an accident happens, Little Su has countless backup plans to make up for it."

"As expected of my junior. I won't deny that he's indeed a little stronger than me back then."

Heavenly King Xiong kept looking at Su Hao.

"He has the ability, but he doesn't act rashly. Instead, he pays the smallest price to achieve the highest yield. Cultivate him well. In the future, he will become a pillar of the Union, and…"

"Even though he won with an overwhelming advantage, he wasn't complacent because of it. He still had that indifferent but confident expression."

"He's pretty good, I really admire him."

The Luohan Panda Elder nodded.

Be it humans or bears, these big bosses weren't stingy with their praise at all.

After Heavenly King Xiong praised, he was troubled again. He looked at the Luohan Panda and said, "Elder, look, Su Hao passed the trial, but what about the others?"

But there had never been a year where only one person contracted a sprite in the end.
