"Are even eggs going to training classes now?"
"I suddenly feel so lucky to have only started training classes in junior high."
"Egg Lord: Are you polite?"
Hearing the streamer and the Seven-Colored Egg's conversation, the viewers in the live stream were stunned.
They knew they were competitive, but they didn't expect them to compete in such inventive ways.
Were they not leaving any room for ordinary people to survive?!
"No need to sleep much in life, and eternal rest in death... It turns out it's fake. This competition has reached the underworld."
"Indeed, there is no harm without comparison... Mom! Mom, don't hit me!"
"Holy crap, the person upstairs is being dragged away to do homework, hahaha..."
...
Glancing at the bullet comments in the live stream, Jiang Lin shook his head slightly. These viewers were still so good at entertaining themselves.
This combat training class wasn't actually proposed by Jiang Lin.
It was discussed by the other pet owners after they watched their pets' mission progress.
If they wanted to undertake missions, they couldn't be this weak.
Their psychological fortitude, tactical application, and attack power were all lacking.
Look at the Seven-Colored Egg; there was no harm without comparison.
Therefore, a combat training class was essential.
Jiang Lin thought that the Seven-Colored Egg would undertake missions in the future, and it would be good for it to learn more.
Although he usually taught it some things, they were not systematic or comprehensive enough.
Thus, when a group of pets formed the "Pet Counterattack Alliance,"
In the underworld, a group of pet owners also evaluated various combat training classes and enrolled their pets.
Didn't they want to strive and resist together?
Since their relationship was so good, they might as well learn together.
...
As the Seven-Colored Egg returned to the eighteenth palace, the other pets also quietly returned to their respective homes.
The little calf, wearing a colorful outfit, was immediately embraced upon entering.
"Xiao Hua, you're back!"
The ghost messenger owner happily said, "I saw your performance, it was amazing!"
"By the way, are you hungry? Is there nothing good to eat or drink outside? Do you want to lie down in your little nest first?"
As she spoke, she had already brought out various delicious foods and drinks and placed them in front of the little calf.
This series of reactions left the little calf stunned.
Looking at its owner's "you've worked hard" expression, it suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Its originally firm resolve began to waver.
Actually, thinking about it, its owner was quite good.
She would hug it, spend money to buy it all sorts of good things, and tell it all sorts of little stories from the human world...
"Xiao Hua, what's wrong?"
Seeing it not moving, the ghost messenger owner asked, "Do you want to try something different? Shall I take you to the ghost market for a meal?"
"Or are you tired? Do you want to rest first?"
"Xiao Hua? Xiao Hua?"
Hearing the repeated calls, the little calf, which was feeling quite touched, suddenly remembered the reason for its departure.
"...I don't want to be called Xiao Hua, I'm a bull!"
"I know, Xiao Hua!" the ghost messenger owner replied.
'I want to change my name!'
"Sure."
'Really?!' The little calf's eyes lit up, and it said joyfully,
'Then, then I want to be called Da Jun!'
Da Jun sounded like a handsome male.
It was much cooler than Xiao Hua! It had thought about it for a long time!
Seeing the little calf's happy expression, the ghost messenger owner couldn't help but hug it tightly.
So cute, ahhh—
"Da Jun? Sure!"
'You agree?!' the little calf exclaimed in surprise.
"Mhm!" The ghost messenger owner nodded. "So, do you want to eat first or rest first, Xiao Hua?"
The little calf: "..."
Get lost! You didn't listen at all!
(ꐦÒ‸Ó) I want to counterattack!
Wait... Did the owner just say she saw its performance?
Where did she see it? How did she see it?
...
At the little hedgehog's home—
As soon as the ghost messenger owner returned home, he saw a colorful lump "whoosh" under the table.
And then it hid inside and refused to come out.
"You're playing hide-and-seek after going out?"
He muttered, and without even looking, he knew what it was.
It was that aesthetic...
Besides the regular classes and combat training, should they also enroll in an aesthetics class??
He didn't call it out and went straight to his seat, tapping his hand on the side of the table.
Hearing the familiar sound and rhythm, the little hedgehog under the table immediately scurried out.
Its body reacted faster than its brain, and by the time it realized what was happening, it had already skillfully prepared the fruit.
It pricked the fruit with its spines and presented it to the ghost messenger owner.
The ghost messenger owner picked up a piece of fruit and commented, "Your reaction speed has improved."
It seemed that it had made some progress during the days it was out.
Hearing this, the little hedgehog immediately thought of the Pet Counterattack Alliance and its training and struggles outside, and its heart was filled with courage.
It raised its mung bean-sized eyes, looked at its owner, and raised its voice: 'Master!'
The ghost messenger owner, after finishing a piece of apple, glanced at it sideways: "What? You want to hit me?"
'Well, not exactly...'
The little hedgehog's newfound courage vanished with that glance, and its voice weakened.
It cautiously glanced at its owner, who had already returned to reading documents.
Was it over just like that?
But, but... when it returned, it had promised its leader that it would definitely achieve something.
The little hedgehog struggled a bit and said softly:
'Master, I, I don't want to be a fruit platter anymore.'
The ghost messenger owner picked at his ear: "What?"
The little hedgehog shivered but insisted: 'I don't want to be a fruit platter anymore!'
"Oh. Okay."
'Huh?'
It took the little hedgehog two seconds to react; its owner agreed?
It immediately shook its whole body, scattering all the fruit.
It felt overjoyed.
It even rolled around twice.
Indeed, joining the counterattack alliance was the right decision!
It would definitely listen to its leader in the future! Hehe~
The ghost messenger owner glanced at it, at the scattered fruit...
...
As for the fire fox—
Unlike its other companions, the fire fox rushed into its owner's arms as soon as it got home.
It acted spoiled, constantly seeking hugs and pats.
'Whimper~'
Compared to the outside world, jumping through hoops was too childish.
Its owner's embrace was the best~
From now on, it was also a little pet that had seen the world.
'Master, I'll never throw tantrums at you again, whimper~'
The ghost messenger owner petted the fire fox in his arms and thought: How about seven consecutive hoops next time?
...
And for 001 Marmot—
It, it didn't see its owner.
The logistics team was too busy.
They had to go wherever they were needed.
They had to clean up the mess when ghosts fought, help the agricultural department when needed, and check on construction projects...
As the head of the logistics team, there was a lot to manage.
The marmot stood in front of its house, looking at the empty dwelling.
A gust of wind blew, and the leaves in the yard fell, twirling on the ground twice.
Just like its heart, it felt so desolate.
...
The pets didn't know yet what their underworld owners had done while they were away from home.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that they looked at each other in the combat training class.
'What a coincidence, you're here too.'
'Yeah, yeah, what a coincidence, my owner enrolled me.'
'Me too...'
'So everyone's here...'
As the pets spoke, they fell silent.
Things seemed to be a bit different from what they had imagined?
When did their owners start gathering together?
