I Choose You!

I Choose You!

Song Qian's words were like a bomb dropped into water.

Lin Yue was the first to blurt out, "Teacher, can all of us go?"

Song Qian nodded with a smile. "That's right. This time, all students in our advanced class can enter this secret realm for practical training."

"Of course, this is also the most basic kind of secret realm."

The advanced class students present were all somewhat disappointed at those words.

Seeing this, Lu Su secretly shook his head. Being able to enter a secret realm was already an excellent benefit.

Countless Third Year High School students wanted to get in but had no chance, and this was a completely unexpected windfall.

Song Qian continued, "It'll be in half a month. The secret realm is a mountainous forest type, so I hope everyone will prepare accordingly."

"Teacher Song means that those who can afford it should make a vehicle-type Item Card, or a rideable creature card," Jiang Nanxi softly explained beside Lu Su.

Her father was a Gold Grade Card Master, so she naturally knew all the ins and outs of such matters.

Although the terrain in mountainous forest-type secret realms was not especially complicated, having a mount could save a great deal of trouble.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Su glanced at Du Heng, who had remained silent with a gloomy expression ever since the rankings ended. Du Heng surely knew about this too.

Without paying him much attention, Lu Su nodded slightly and thanked Jiang Nanxi. "Thanks for the reminder."

Jiang Nanxi's lips curved into a smile. "No need to be polite."

With the ranking test over, the group returned to the classroom and began their afternoon classes.

The advanced class curriculum mainly consisted of card-making techniques and meditation classes, with the occasional wilderness survival class. After all, anything could happen in a secret realm.

The Association did not want greenhouse flowers who could only participate in Card Master duels. It wanted Card Masters who could truly take to the battlefield.

This afternoon's class was meditation.

But rather than a class, it was more like self-study.

After all, everyone practiced the same "Deep Blue Meditation Method," so there was not much for the teacher to teach.

Closing his eyes and savoring the satisfaction brought by the slow growth of his Spiritual Power, Lu Su slowly exhaled.

Ever since transmigrating here, he had discovered that he cultivated the meditation method much faster than the original owner of this body had in his memories.

He did not know whether it was because this body had once housed two souls, or because Lu Su himself was exceptionally talented.

However, he had no intention of investigating the exact reason. It was good news, after all—it meant Spiritual Power would basically never hold him back.

Time passed exceptionally quickly during meditation, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for school to end.

"See you tomorrow, Lu Su." Jiang Nanxi bid Lu Su farewell with a cheerful smile.

Lu Su nodded slightly. "See you tomorrow."

Watching Jiang Nanxi's retreating figure gradually disappear into the distance, Lu Su also set off for home.

Not long after he got home, someone knocked on his window.

"Tap, tap, tap."

Lu Su turned to look and saw a Goo Goo Chicken.

"I don't remember buying anything." Puzzled, he opened the window.

The Goo Goo Chicken pecked the button on the little bag it carried, and a crisp female voice came from within. "Please ship the order promptly."

Lu Su instantly remembered the materials he had listed on the trading website. If the Goo Goo Chicken had not come, he would have forgotten about the seven Ghoul (Green) cards he had listed online.

He hurried back inside, retrieved the materials, and handed them to the Goo Goo Chicken. The bird took them in its beak, placed them in its little bag, and flew away.

As he watched the Goo Goo Chicken's figure gradually turn into a tiny white speck in the sky, Lu Su began to consider getting himself a mount.

Listen to good advice, and you'll eat your fill. Since Jiang Nanxi had specifically told him about it, he naturally planned to make a mount card.

However, including the money from selling the materials, he only had a little over three hundred thousand Great Ming Treasure Notes. So, Lu Su only intended to make a Green Card for transportation.

Opening the trading website, Lu Su began browsing the materials he could afford.

Black Iron Grade Card Masters could actually buy Bronze Grade materials, but Lu Su had no intention of buying materials of such a high grade.

On one hand, his Spiritual Power level was not yet enough to make Bronze Grade cards. On the other hand—

He was poor.

Very quickly, he found the materials he wanted.

Chirp Sparrow (White), White-Headed Eagle (Green), and a blank card.

The three materials cost a total of thirty thousand Great Ming Treasure Notes.

Before long, the Goo Goo Chicken delivered the materials to Lu Su's home.

Sitting at his desk, Lu Su picked up his card-drawing pen and began sketching on the blank card.

Gradually, a large yellow eagle appeared on the card's surface.

After finishing the drawing, Lu Su placed the three materials together and wrapped them in Spiritual Power.

The next moment, he entered that Mysterious Space where stories were compiled once more.

Please begin compiling your story.

Pidgeot was large, with a broad wingspan and short claws with three pink toes.

Its feathers were primarily brown, with black around its eyes. The feathers on either side of its crest were red, while those in the middle were yellow. Its fan-shaped tail feathers were red.

At the beginning, Ash and Pikachu encountered Pidgeot's pre-evolved form, Pidgeotto, in Viridian Forest. After a fierce battle, Pidgeotto was captured by Ash.

During their journey, Ash and Pidgeotto repeatedly defeated Team Rocket and cleared Gyms. One human and one bird went through much together before eventually returning to Viridian Forest.

After returning to Viridian Forest, they encountered a flock of Spearow preparing to drive out the flock of Pidgeotto.

To protect the Pidgeotto flock, Ash's Pidgeotto was severely injured by the Spearow leader. In that desperate situation, Pidgeotto evolved into Pidgeot and successfully defeated the Spearow flock.

After that, Ash released Pidgeot back into the forest and promised that he would return to pick him up once he was done with his business.

Compilation complete. Lu Su silently waited for the Mysterious Space's judgment.

The next moment, he returned to his little room, where a card depicting a brown bird floated before him.

"It worked." Lu Su absorbed the card into his mind.

Pidgeot

Rank: Black Iron

Quality: Green

Category: Creature

Skill: None

Trait: None

Description: Reunited after twenty-four years, let's travel together again.

Looking over Pidgeot's information in his mind, Lu Su was not surprised.

This story was very simple, and the material grades were also very low, so he could accept that it did not possess any special abilities.

He was not trying to make a powerful combat card anyway. He only wanted to make a card for transportation.

Summoning Pidgeot, Lu Su carefully observed its physique.

Pidgeot stood around one and a half meters tall, more than enough to carry Lu Su through the sky.

However, Lu Su did not dare ride Pidgeot right away. After all, he was not some super rookie from Pallet Town.

Furthermore, if he wanted to ride Pidgeot within the city, he needed to register it with the Card Master Association.

Lu Su naturally intended to register it. Pidgeot was not a combat card anyway, so it did not matter if it was exposed. More importantly, he did not want to hear the bus announce "Welfare Card" every day anymore. It was simply too hellish.

After stroking Pidgeot's head, Lu Su recalled it into his mind.

Putting on a coat, Lu Su headed out to the Card Master Association to register it.

I'll revise Pidgeot's name later, but I can't change too much in a single day. So if new readers see Big Competition Bird later on, please bear with it. Thank you, everyone!
