Many-Faced SSR

Xia Yuan was a little baffled by the scolding.

Why were you yelling so loudly?!

This woman really had eyes but couldn't see. She actually thought he was just an ordinary R Card?

He understood the frustration of missing the guaranteed pull, but that was no reason for her to insult him however she pleased!

Xia Yuan's gaze turned cold. He gave two dry "heh-hehs," expressing his speechlessness.

Those two "heh-hehs" made Jiang Li even more furious. "A trash R Card like you dares to laugh at me?"

Spiritual energy rippled around her, making the gold-threaded uniform robe exclusive to Spirit Contract Masters flutter violently. She suddenly raised her hand and, without hesitation, severed her soul connection with Xia Yuan.

"You think you're worthy of contracting with me?"

"A useless card like you is a waste of energy just by existing!"

"You're not even worthy of being my foot-wiping rag!"

"Understand?!"

"Trash!"

When a Spirit Contract Master first drew a character from the card pool, the two would form a soul connection to maintain the Contract Spirit's basic existence.

The Spirit Contract Master who drew the character also held the first right to contract with them.

Even if they failed to draw a satisfactory Contract Spirit, many Spirit Contract Masters would not immediately sever the connection. They could sell it to others or official organizations and recover some of their losses.

Xia Yuan was so angry that he laughed.

She got triggered herself, yet she had to vent her anger on him?

Since she had gone this far, he would not leave her any room either.

"Whoa! Which mental hospital forgot to lock its doors and let you out to bite people?"

Xia Yuan had no intention of indulging her and immediately fired back:

"You think I wanted to be drawn by you? If I'd known you were such a short-sighted crazy woman, I would've rather rotted in the card pool!"

Jiang Li froze slightly, clearly not expecting an R Card to talk back.

"You...!"

"You garbage card! You took up my guaranteed pull and still dare to curse me?"

Xia Yuan clicked his tongue twice and looked at her as if she were an idiot. "Your luck is so bad it could be the ancestral totem of the chief of the unlucky tribe. Someone mocks you and you get so embarrassed that you dump the blame on me? Are you stupid or what?"

The entire venue was stunned.

The watching students had never expected this R Card to be so good at cursing people...

Which Contract Spirit that descended from the card pool did not carry itself with lofty dignity and speak little?

A Contract Spirit that started passionately trading insults with a Spirit Contract Master the moment it landed was truly something they had never seen before.

"You... you, you, you..."

Jiang Li's fingers trembled as though she had Parkinson's. Other than "trash" and "useless," she could not force out another word. Her pretty face had turned a deep purplish red.

Xia Yuan impatiently picked at his ear. "Enough, enough. You've been introducing yourself for ages. I know you're useless trash already. No need to keep repeating yourself like a broken record."

A wave of barely restrained laughter erupted from below the stage.

Jiang Li knew she looked like a Joker now, and she did not want to keep making a fool of herself.

She stomped her foot resentfully, collected the other resources she had drawn, then turned and left the platform, saying viciously:

"Sure enough, an R Card is just an R Card. You don't have any of the qualities a Contract Spirit should have. Just wait to be annihilated!"

Feeling himself grow weaker and weaker, Xia Yuan's expression turned grave.

Indeed, his situation was rather dangerous.

If he was not contracted, he would disappear. That was equivalent to death!

But with an R Rank displayed above his head, it would indeed be difficult to find anyone willing to contract with him.

Xia Yuan swept his gaze across the venue and found that the young Spirit Contract Masters' eyes were especially grating. They were all filled with contempt and disdain, watching him like a joke.

He took a deep breath and could only recommend himself.

"I'm not an ordinary R Card. I'm a hidden character from the card pool."

"Whoever contracts with me is guaranteed to profit. I'll carry you all the way!"

At this point,

if he wanted to survive, he could only sell himself.

However, Xia Yuan's words only triggered roaring laughter throughout the venue:

"Pfft, hahaha! This R Card Contract Spirit is way too funny. He actually calls himself a hidden card pool character?"

"I get it. A new type of Contract Spirit: the comedian type!""

"Now that you mention it, he'd actually be pretty good at livening up the atmosphere in a Contract Spirit team!"

"An R Card trash spirit dares to brag about carrying people? What, can you laugh monsters to death or something..."

"An R Card Contract Spirit should just quietly dissipate. Who would be such a sucker as to contract a trash card character? What a waste of spiritual energy..."

"..."

If you can't find a book by its title, try searching for the author. It may simply have been renamed!

The laughter continued without end.

Jiang Li, standing below the stage, folded her arms and sneered. "You're about to die, yet you're still talking tough. Today, I'm going to watch with my own eyes as you turn to ash!"

She leisurely watched the boy on the stage, her eyes full of disdain.

Listening to the mockery filling the venue, Xia Yuan's heart sank to rock bottom.

It was over...

These natives simply did not understand what a promising investment was!

He had such a textbook webnovel protagonist's miserable opening, yet no one wanted to contract with him?

Did these people never read Tomato novels?!

Time passed.

Throughout North Sichuan Spirit Contract Master Academy, no one was willing to contract with a useless R Card.

Xia Yuan's figure also grew increasingly translucent, his sense of existence steadily fading away.

He was utterly helpless.

Was he going to die the moment he transmigrated? That was way too miserable!

Clearly, as long as he successfully formed a contract, he could transform into an SSR and gain top-tier combat power.

Just then,

a commotion broke out below the stage.

Someone cried out:

"It's Mo Shiyu!"

The crowd suddenly parted, opening a path through the back.

"So beautiful! No wonder she seized first place on the Chuanbei Campus Beauty Ranking as soon as she arrived. I heard her spiritual energy is also the highest among this year's freshmen!"

"House Mo of Chuanbei? That's a major family capable of possessing and nurturing SR Contract Spirits!"

"Gasp... That face... that figure... If you told me she was an SSR character from the card pool, I'd believe it!"

"She came to the Myriad Realms Spirit Card Pool to draw cards too?"

"Goddess Mo seems to have only one C Rank support-type Contract Spirit—the little kitten lying on her shoulder. As a freshman, she must still be lacking a main damage dealer!"

"..."

Xia Yuan looked up and spotted the campus beauty in the crowd at a glance.

She was simply too eye-catching. Her skin was so fair that it seemed to glow, and she had a tall, slender figure and exquisitely beautiful features.

Yet she did not have the usual pointed oval face. Instead, her cheeks had a slight baby-fat softness that made her look adorable.

Though her expression carried a distant aloofness that kept others at arm's length, her large, clear black-and-white eyes were innocent and pure like a fawn in the woods, giving her an oddly airheaded charm.

A cute black cat with snow-white wings lay on her shoulder.

Even the white Spirit Contract Master robe with gold trim could not conceal her stunning S-shaped figure. Her long, jade-like legs appeared and disappeared with each step, like an exquisite illustration that had stepped out of a two-dimensional world!

This mature beauty with a touch of cuteness had a uniquely captivating flavor.

Xia Yuan could not help taking a few more looks.

Before dying, getting to admire a beautiful campus belle from another world meant this trip had not been in vain...

Mo Shiyu swept her gaze over the card pool platform, eventually stopping on the boy wearing a "Chinese Youth" T-shirt. Her pupils shrank slightly!

From a perspective invisible to everyone else, a golden screen appeared before her eyes, displaying the status panel of that R Rank Contract Spirit:

[Contract Spirit's True Name: Xia Yuan] [Rank: R] [Level: Level 1] [Race: Human] [Combat Power: 1 (barely counts as a person)] [Skills: None] [Growth Potential: SSS+MAX!] [Hidden Attribute: Many-Faced SSR!] [Contract Recommendation Rating: Full stars!] [Hint: An incredibly, invincibly rare card pool character! The host is strongly advised to contract with him, absolutely, definitely! Miss this and regret it for life!!!]

Mo Shiyu looked cold on the surface, but a storm of shock had already erupted in her heart!

Since childhood, she had possessed a secret ability: she could see through the attributes and potential of uncontracted Contract Spirits, allowing her to decide whether to contract with them.

Many-Faced SSR?!

Both his growth potential and Contract Spirit recommendation rating were practically maxed out!

And the displayed data for this R Rank Contract Spirit before her was something she had never seen before.

Seeing the Contract Spirit's figure already becoming translucent, Mo Shiyu immediately made her decision and began running toward him.

Her ability could not be wrong.

She had to contract with this R Card!
