The Little Rabbit Almost Grilled

"Tch, isn't it just being a maid?" Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed slightly as she stubbornly retorted, "What's the big deal..."

One couldn't really blame Xiao Wu for giving in so easily; Du Hao's conditions were simply too exceptional.

Not to mention Du Hao's own talent, which felt like the absolute pinnacle to Xiao Wu.

Just look at Zhu Zhuqing, who had been by his side the whole time; she was also a genius of the highest order...

For a little rabbit like her, who had to rely on human aura to continuously transform and level up, she simply couldn't resist such temptation.

"Heh, joking around before was one thing, but do you really think I'm someone you can just play with?" Du Hao said, his face full of disdain as he ate his delicious meal.

"Xiao Wu, that joke went too far." Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing spoke up for once.

Zhu Zhuqing wasn't joking; in this world, the status of a maid was actually a very lowly profession.

If Du Hao hadn't saved her previously, she, an ice-cold goddess, would likely never have taken on a job that 'naturally carried certain implications.'

"Haha..." Xiao Wu's rabbit ears instantly drooped, and she said timidly, "Did I... say something wrong?"

Watching the one boy and two girls being intimate with each other over there, Grandmaster, who was eating and chatting on the other side, couldn't help but smack his lips.

"Are kids these days all so precocious?" He cast a strange look toward Tang San and tentatively asked, "San, was that fellow townsman of yours always like this?"

"This... I suppose so?" To be honest, Tang San wasn't entirely sure himself.

After all, Du Hao had never mentioned anything about maids to him before.

"Hao-ge, you're the best~" Xiao Wu grabbed one of Du Hao's arms and said in a soft, sweet tone, "Xiao Wu won't be a maid anymore, okay??"

Seeing Xiao Wu acting so coquettishly, Du Hao, who had already finished his meal, felt a shiver run down his spine.

He quickly said, "I never intended for you to be one anyway, even Zhu Zhuqing was just playing along with me..."

After all, no matter how perverse he might be, he wouldn't make such jokes in an era as ancient as this.

At most, he would only play around in private...

Reaching out to stroke Xiao Wu's hair, Du Hao's gaze inadvertently drifted toward Tang San's table, his eyes suddenly lingering on Grandmaster.

A question suddenly popped into his mind.

He immediately turned his head and asked Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, have you already obtained your spirit ring?"

"Although I awakened at Notting Academy, I had full spirit power when I tested myself in private, but for some reason, it registered as level 7 during the official test. As for obtaining a spirit ring, I have to wait for the academy's collective spirit hunting trip, which is still over half a year away." Zhu Zhuqing explained to Du Hao in detail, along with some information about how the academy helped students obtain spirit rings.

After all, she was basically an ordinary person now, and as for the method of obtaining a spirit ring... this was the only path currently available to her.

"Is that so? That's indeed a bit tricky..." Du Hao frowned. He hadn't expected the first hurdle in his life to appear so quickly; it really caught him off guard.

Although it wasn't impossible to cultivate with innate full spirit power without a spirit ring, without the reinforcement of one, no matter how hard one worked to accumulate spirit power, they would just be a slightly fatter pig!

But damn it, the school wouldn't help students obtain spirit rings for another half a year, and as for the quality of those rings, they certainly wouldn't be anything special.

This led to a vicious cycle...

Innate full spirit power + half a year of hard cultivation = a slightly fatter pig.

Obtaining a spirit ring + uncertain factors = a spirit ring with a very low floor and a mediocre ceiling.

Combining the two equaled: "A commoner with no power or influence, destined for a life of mediocrity."

Is this a joke?

But fortunately, he had his golden finger, and combined with his innate advantage of foresight, he could barely resolve this issue...

However!

Don't forget, there is a very magical hidden law regarding obtaining spirit rings in the early stages of the Douluo Continent!

It could also be said to be something every Douluo transmigrator must know!

That is, the absorption conditions for the first three spirit rings are directly linked to one's physical fitness!

This was the main reason why Du Hao hadn't rushed to obtain his first spirit ring despite having full spirit power.

He was waiting!

Waiting for the moment he rolled a reward related to physical fitness!

As for what to do about the slowed cultivation progress?

Are you kidding me? With cheats enabled, what is there to fear?

Isn't this just conjuring an "egg" out of thin air?

In Du Hao's view, obtaining spirit rings could be done slowly, but it absolutely could not be done carelessly.

Waiting until his physical fitness improved to immediately obtain high-level spirit rings was the meta strategy!

According to Du Hao's own estimation.

His system could trigger two or more missions a day; he would definitely be able to grind out the rewards he wanted within a month!

At worst, he would just wear the system down!

Anyway, there was still plenty of time before graduation, so he was completely unbothered!

Besides, he had beau... he had patience.

If he were truly in a rush, he could always go ask his good brother Tang San's cheap master.

He could have him tell the principal to do him a favor; he had plenty of money, after all...

As long as one's mindset doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than problems.

Just like that, upon returning to the dormitory area, Du Hao still had the leisure to stroll toward Dorm Seven.

He prepared to see if his good brother Tang San had returned to the dorm yet.

Of course, that was secondary; the main reason was that it was still a bit early.

If he went back to the villa too early.

He would have nothing to do, so he might as well find something to occupy himself.

After all, the night was when he could truly unleash his nature, especially since he had just triggered a mission!

"Option One [Black]: Rabbits are so cute, how could you bully a rabbit? During the holiday, flip the pepper, and taste the flavor of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast...

Reward: Resurrection Coin *1."

"Option Two [White]: The rabbit is already so pitiful, let it have a good 'sleep'!

Reward: Nth-generation instructional book: Spirit Power Control: From 'Entry' to 'Burial'"

Although he didn't know why the second option had both white and black, the reward was quite impressive.

An instructional book from an unknown number of generations in the future couldn't be that bad...

Of course, the most important thing was.

Looking at the hopping little rabbit before him, he really couldn't bring himself to do such a cruel thing.

Even for a Resurrection Coin... it was! Not! Possible!

It was practically already meat in his own bowl; you wanted him to bully such a cute rabbit? Are you even human?

Just as Du Hao and the others arrived at Dorm Seven.

They happened to see a male teacher in his thirties standing at the dormitory entrance, saying something.

"Which one of you is the new Work-Study Student?" The teacher, holding a notebook, scanned the crowd repeatedly, his voice flat. "I need to arrange your work today, otherwise you will be expelled.

I hope you hurry up; I have other things to do."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu, who had been walking over happily, perked up her ears and walked over with her little hands!

"Teacher! Me, me, me!" Xiao Wu happily arrived at the front of the crowd. "Teacher, I am this year's Work-Study Student. My name is Xiao Wu, 'Wu' as in dance!"

"Mm, my name is Mo Hen."

Looking at the lively and cute little girl in front of him, Mo Hen's first impression was quite good.

His originally stern tone couldn't help but soften.

"I am here to arrange your Work-Study job. You will clean the garden on the south side of the playground every day.

Ten copper spirit coins per day.

Remember to clean it thoroughly, otherwise, there will be penalties." Mo Hen chuckled.

Xiao Wu nodded immediately, indicating she understood.
