Chapter 63 You Wanted to Torment Him

"David, is he really reliable?" John still had doubts. "The Spirit Control Bureau couldn't solve it, so how could a beef seller do it?"

"He's very reliable, don't worry," David said without hesitation. "Uriah is just working part-time during his vacation. He's a real expert."

John wasn't very convinced of Uriah's abilities, but he figured that he had spent the 50,000 Stellar Coins spent on a large amount of Beast-Taming power.

"By the way, come with me to the Beast Tamer Association," John said as he suddenly remembered something.

Owen from the Spirit Control Bureau should be posting a task at the association now.

"Let's go. I don't have anything else to do anyway." David nodded.

The Beast Tamer Association was not far from Rainflower Street, so they decided to walk there.

David said, "By the way, John, I'm planning to go to Skylight City in August."

"What are you going to Skylight City for? A vacation?" John looked puzzled.

David said, "I'm going to take the entrance exam for the Skylight City Culinary Academy."

A flicker of surprise crossed John's face as he asked, "Are you heading off to college?"

David nodded. "Yes."

John said, "I can hardly believe it."

David said helplessly, "You're looking down on me."

John said, "You're only a sophomore in high school; you can't take the exam. Even if you pass, you can't be admitted."

In the country, the Beast Taming University had provided a broad spectrum of disciplines, such as potion-making, materials science, medicine, and spiritual cooking, to name a few. Nonetheless, the emphasis was primarily on studies related to combat.

This was because the fundamental role of Beast Tamers was to subdue the Alternate Dimension. If no Beast Tamers were trained for combat, everything else would lose its importance.

The other majors were considered auxiliary and were not the main focus of the university.

However, some unique universities established only one auxiliary major. For instance, Spiritual Cooking University primarily taught culinary knowledge, with the main ingredient being ferocious beast meat, specifically used to feed contract spirits.

Unlike potions, food did not have a resistance effect. As long as it was consumed consistently over a long period, it could greatly enhance the contract spirits.

Otherwise, the government wouldn't have set up specialized universities for this purpose.

David said, "I'm taking the early admission exam. If I pass, I can start studying at the university."

David looked proud and very confident in his culinary skills.

The Skylight City Culinary Academy was the equivalent of the Quantum Academy of Techno-Magic in the culinary world. It was the most prestigious spiritual cooking university in the country. If one could graduate successfully, they would definitely be considered an elite talent in society.

"John said, Then I'll be the only one left in the City of Wisdom."

If David gots in, he wouldn't need to continue his senior year of high school and would become a college student. Since culinary universities had a five-year program, it was best to start early.

John raised an eyebrow, feeling like he was falling behind David.

David said, "Anyway, you'll go to Skylight City in a year. By then, you can apply to the Skylight City Alchemy University!"

The Skylight City Alchemy University was also a prestigious institution with an extremely high admission score requirement. It was renowned for its rigorous academic standards and was recognized as one of the top universities in the field of alchemy.

David was unexpectedly confident that John would get into a good university.

John said, "By then, I'll get into the Quantum Academy of Techno-Magic and also go to Skylight City."

"The Quantum Academy of Techno-Magic? I don't think you can get in," David said doubtfully.

John wanted to punch David when he saw his expression.

"Stop, thief! Stop!"

At that moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly.

Alex Brown was running wildly down the street with a bag, and someone was chasing him from behind. The distance between them was closing.

"Anyone who tries to stop me will regret it!"

Alex's voice was fierce, and everyone quickly made way, not daring to stop him.

John saw options appear before him.

[Option 1: Act decisively, catch the thief, and get a reward: A small amount of Beast-Taming power]

[Option 2: Pretend not to see, reward: Disguise potion]

[Option 3: Shout, "Go! Go!" and encourage everyone not to stop him, reward: Title 'Evil Cheerleader'.Effect: If contract spirit is evil, speed +20%, if good, speed -20%]

[Option 4: Run with the thief, always keeping pace with him. Reward: Unlock new item: Speed potion]

John was momentarily stunned and quickly dismissed the first three options, especially the third one, which had the worst reward.

John immediately sprinted toward the thief.

David also ran over. Their physical fitness was excellent, and they ran quickly.

Alex was alone and unarmed now, so defeating him would be easy.

At this moment, Alex looked back and saw them chasing him frantically, and he felt scared.

"Someone actually dares to stop me?" Alex tried to look fierce to scare them off.

But it had no effect.

John and David's pursuit speed increased again.

They were about to catch up to Alex, and the other pedestrians were praising John and David. They didn't dare to be heroes, but they admired those who did.

"This is a really unlucky day!"

Alex lamented to himself, realizing he was about to be caught by the police and detained.

John suddenly sprinted and finally ran alongside Alex.

"Take the wallet. Just stop chasing me." Alex gritted his teeth. John and David were both strong, and Alex knew he couldn't beat them.

But John didn't take the wallet. He let it fall to the ground.

John didn't speak or make a move; he just kept running alongside Alex.

"John."

David also caught up, but he was puzzled when he saw that John was still chasing Alex. .

John shook his head and just kept running alongside Alex.

'You want to torture him. I like it!' David thought to himself, a wicked smile appearing on his face.

John and David sandwiched Alex in the middle, and the three of them ran neatly down the street.

At this moment, the pedestrians were confused, and the person who had lost the wallet was also confused. What was going on?

The most confused of all was Alex. In all his time stealing, he had never encountered such a situation.

Alex thought, 'Either capture me or let me go. What are you doing? Are you tormenting me?'
