Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 66 Dragon Capturing Team

Qin Shou looked at Long Xia and Lin Xiaomei, grinning sinisterly, "I’ve realized that forming a rescue squad is way more lucrative than being a Monster Hunter."

Lin Xiaomei’s mouth twitched. Was this guy... addicted?

Long Xia’s eyes lit up, "Lao Qin, are you saying...?"

Qin Shou patted both of them on the shoulders and laughed, "I plan on forming a rescue squad. You two can help me with logistics while I handle all the rescue missions myself!"

Long Xia immediately made the call, "I agree! Anyway, we’d only be dragging you down. It’s better for us to handle the logistics while you charge ahead!"

Charge ahead...

Qin Shou’s face darkened. Was this even human language?

Beside him, Lin Xiaomei appeared deep in thought before saying, "I have no objections to setting up a rescue squad, but it seems West City already has several rescue squads.

A newly-formed squad like ours would lack recognition, and advertising costs might be significant."

Qin Shou smiled confidently, "Relax, leave the advertising to me. Someone will definitely help us promote ourselves."

Seeing how assured Qin Shou was, Lin Xiaomei grew suspicious. This guy was most likely plotting against someone again.

"So, what should we name this rescue squad?" Long Xia asked.

Qin Shou replied, "I’ve already thought it through—let’s call it the Dragon Capturing Team!"

"Dragon Capturing Team?"

Long Xia thought about it, then clapped his hands and laughed, "Perfect! Dragon Capturing Team—a play on the name ’Qin,’ plus my ’Long’ surname. It’s absolutely flawless!"

"What about me?"

Lin Xiaomei asked softly.

Qin Shou counted on his fingers, looking quite serious, "Dragon Capturing Team: Qin, Dragon, and Xiao—all of which include the ’Xiao’ from your name.

How’s that? Perfect, right?"

Lin Xiaomei: "..."

Qin Shou, confused, asked, "Not satisfied? Let me think... How about the Lin-Qin-Xia Team?"

"Lin, Qin, Xia—it’s way better, right?"

Lin Xiaomei: "..."

Wordplay deserves a penalty!

...

Returning home, Qin Guofang and Hua Ping were overcome with excitement.

After Qin Shou took out various kinds of highly nutritious Monster Meat, the couple grew even more ecstatic.

"Son, you’ve finally done something good! You’re really showing the same spirit your old man had back in the day!"

"Hah, when I married you, you couldn’t even afford a pound of Barbarian Beef. If our son turned out like you, this life would be over."

"Hey, today’s the day our boy’s alive and kicking upon return! Isn’t this cause for celebration? Why do you always have to contradict me? What’s your deal?"

"Hmph, is today the first time I’ve contradicted you?"

"Uh... I suppose not."

...

After finishing Mom’s chaotic Monster Stew, Qin Shou chatted with the two elders for a while before retreating to his room.

Taking out the Earth Core Energy Crystal emitting faint light, Qin Shou radiated blue Star Power from his palm, extracting the Earth Core Energy within and channeling it into his body.

Paired with rhythmic breathing, his Star Power surged rapidly.

At this pace, Qin Shou could breakthrough to Newborn Eighth Star within a week.

A moment later, Qin Shou slowly exited his cultivation state, frowning slightly.

The energy within the Earth Core Energy Crystal was astonishing. Fang Bao had plenty of these, so why was he still stuck at Newborn Eighth Star?

Could there be restrictions on using Earth Core Energy Crystals for cultivation?

Or perhaps, for some reason, Fang Bao was intentionally slowing down his cultivation?

If it were the latter, this chubby guy almost managed to get himself wasted.

...

Early the next morning, Qin Shou got up, freshened up, and grabbed a quick breakfast before heading to school.

Having exceeded the leave period by this much, he wondered whether his brilliant class advisor would miss him...

At the station, the routine remained the same.

Roof riding!

"Hey, Lao Qin, why haven’t I seen you the past two weeks?"

On the rooftop, the fat guy snickered and asked.

Qin Shou gave Fatty a sideways glance and suddenly asked, "Fatty, is your Strongest Snail up for sale?"

Fatty snorted, "Not selling! Do I look like someone strapped for cash?

Besides, Uncle Wang has promised to hire a Vajra Realm Beast Tamer next month to upgrade my Strongest Snail into a Mechanical Snail. How could I possibly sell it to you?"

Qin Shou thought deeply, "Actually, your Uncle Wang treats you pretty well."

Fatty puffed up his chest, "Hah! That’s a given."

...

Twenty minutes later, Qin Shou arrived at school. Instead of heading directly to class, he went to Yu Shusheng’s office.

"Morning, Principal," Qin Shou knocked on the door and said. freewёbnoνel.com

Yu Shusheng glanced up to see Qin Shou and smiled slightly.

"Come in."

"Yeah."

Yu Shusheng stood up, walking over to Qin Shou, his gaze affirmative, "Impressive! You actually managed to return safely from the Underground World. Seems like you held back during the Beast Breeding Competition."

Qin Shou chuckled, "Principal, about the reward you mentioned last time?"

Yu Shusheng froze for a moment. Are kids this direct these days?

At least respond humbly first!

"Ahem, ahem..."

Yu Shusheng cleared his throat and handed Qin Shou a glowing crimson Crystal Stone.

"This is an Earth Core Energy Crystal, containing immense energy that can assist your cultivation..."

"Is this the one?"

Qin Shou deadpanned, pulling out an even larger Earth Core Energy Crystal.

"Principal, this Energy Crystal must be part of the reward, right!"

Yu Shusheng’s cheek twitched. "Heh... heh. Yes, this is merely one part of the reward."

"And the other part?" Qin Shou pursued.

Yu Shusheng cursed internally, calling Qin Shou a little rascal. "Wait until Lord Yan Long returns, then you’ll get a share of the Super Soaring Dragon’s genes."

Qin Shou’s eyes sparkled. Super Soaring Dragon’s genes?

Having been cared for by Soaring Dragon for so long, the genes would have been optimized. This reward was starting to look rather appealing.

"Thank you, Principal."

Qin Shou expressed his gratitude and conveniently took the Energy Crystal from Yu Shusheng’s hand.

"Don’t mention it. You’ve earned it."

Yu Shusheng’s smile became increasingly stiff before he suddenly remembered something and reminded Qin Shou.

"Oh, Qin Shou, last week, a student suddenly advanced to become the school’s fifth Newborn Nine Star student.

I’m afraid there may not be a spot for you in the Three Schools Trial a week from now."

Qin Shou raised an eyebrow, "Only Newborn Nine Stars can participate in the Three Schools Trial?"

Yu Shusheng shook his head, "No, to ensure fairness, it still comes down to strength.

In tomorrow’s selection round, as long as you rank in the top five, you can still join the Three Schools Trial."

Qin Shou’s face returned to calm, "Oh, then that’s fine.

But Principal, what exactly is the Three Schools Trial? Where does it take place?" He asked curiously.

"That’s classified. Since this is West City’s first participation... ahem, all you need to know is the rewards are incredible."

Yu Shusheng spoke seriously this time.

Qin Shou nodded, "Understood, Principal."

"Principal, have you heard of Leng Wanbai?" he suddenly asked.

Yu Shusheng instinctively answered, "Leng Wanbai is Lord Yan Long’s most beloved younger sister and has recently come to West City along with him...

Wait! You’re not planning to court her, are you?"

Yu Shusheng stared at Qin Shou with an odd look.

"Younger sister?"

Qin Shou’s heart skipped a beat.
