After a long day of work, the good news was that both the Silkworm Baby and the Little Fire Crow could get精灵 ID cards. The bad news was that it was almost seven o'clock now! He was starving! He hadn't eaten much at noon to begin with, and now it had dragged on until this hour. He climbed to the sixth floor and rang the doorbell. A moment later, the door opened. When Mom saw him, she let out a huge sigh of relief. "Are you hurt?" She looked him over left and right. She had received a call from the school teacher in the afternoon, saying the vehicle had been attacked on the way back to school. At that moment, her heart clenched. Even though the teacher had said over the phone that he was fine. Su Hao had also called later to report he was safe. But Mom wouldn't relax until she saw him with her own eyes. Dad, who had come out at the sound of their voices, didn't say anything but wore a relieved smile. "If you're not hurt, then go wash your hands and eat," Mom said. Su Hao spotted the untouched food on the table at a glance and couldn't help saying, "Mom, I told you to eat first, don't wait for me." Mom glanced at him and then urged the Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow to come in quickly. Finally, she said, "We weren't waiting for you; we were waiting for the two big heroes, Silkworm Baby and Little Fire Crow. "Come on, come on, hurry up. Tonight, we've prepared your favorite food." She then looked at Su Hao, "What are you standing there for? Go heat up the dishes!" Su Hao, who had no family status, exchanged a look with Dad and headed toward the dining room. …… At the dinner table, Mom and Dad kept asking about the afternoon's situation. Su Hao only gave a brief account. He didn't mention facing the attacker head-on or escaping from the elite-level精灵. Since the school hadn't said anything about it, there was no need for him to bring it up. It would only add to their worry. But Mom and Dad clearly weren't fully reassured. Just then, a news program on TV suddenly aired a report. …… "See, you can relax now. It's a rare incident; those attackers won't cause much trouble." Mom and Dad finally felt at ease. It seemed the attackers were indeed nothing in the face of the Spirit Master Guild. And no one was injured. Su Hao knew a little more than that. But seeing this news, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Parts of the screen were heavily blurred, but Su Hao could still recognize the stone giant that had been summoned away. It had died a miserable death. Perhaps it was this stone giant that had exposed the group leader's location. …… That night, Su Hao was on the computer checking the materials needed for the Silkworm Baby's evolution. He knew exactly what was needed. What he was checking was the price. There weren't many shops selling精灵-related items, but he still had to compare prices. Su Hao clacked away at the keyboard. The primary material for the Silkworm Baby's evolution was Wood Essence. There was no discount on that. But for some auxiliary materials, Su Hao calculated he could save a few thousand yuan. Being a frugal man wasn't easy. Just then, Su Hao's ears perked up as he heard Mom and Dad in the living room talking about "scam," "house," and such. Curious, he walked out. "What house?" "Just now, there was a call saying you got first place in the joint exam, and according to the incentive policy set by the Municipal Council and Bishui Real Estate, you're being rewarded with a house!" Mom pursed her lips. "Do you really think I've read all those public accounts for nothing? These scams are outdated! "And they say you got first in the joint exam? Is that even possible? They couldn't come up with a more reasonable excuse? Do they take me for a fool?" Mom was an expert in "36 Anti-Scam Techniques," often watching various legal programs. She had seen no fewer than a thousand scams, if not eight hundred, and was very pleased with herself for easily seeing through the scammer's tricks. Her public accounts and legal shows hadn't been wasted. Su Hao fell silent. Had he not mentioned getting first place? Thinking back, it seemed—maybe, possibly, probably, apparently—he really hadn't. He tentatively said, "Mom, maybe it's not a scam..." After much persuasion, and pulling out the joint exam certificate and the award from the Heavenly King, he finally got Mom and Dad to understand that their son was indeed capable of taking first place in the joint exam. It wasn't fake. And he had already obtained the official Spirit Master qualification in the first half of his senior year. Because the Silkworm Baby had already broken through to the entry level. How impressive was entry level? After Su Hao chose the精灵 Department, Mom and Dad had learned a bit about it. After a long pause, Mom and Dad sighed, "Silkworm Baby really worked hard, and you're not bad either, son." Su Hao: "???" He felt like he was the one who came with a phone recharge! As they spoke, Su Hao's phone rang. It was Uncle Pan. He swiped to answer. "Oh... mm... okay... Uncle Pan, thank you." The call was about the house. It was located in the Spirit Master community that Instructor Xiong had mentioned, a high-end neighborhood built by Bishui Real Estate specifically for Spirit Masters. The community had many精灵-related facilities. Many high-level精灵 were large in size and needed specialized spaces for care. But in Ancheng, such large精灵 were rare. "It's really a house?" Mom was still a bit skeptical. "Absolutely true, no payment needed. You can ask the Guild or the Municipal Council tomorrow," Su Hao said. "Besides the house, Dad's position should also be able to move up a bit." Dad was a civil servant in a public institution. Moving up wouldn't be a high rank, but it was still a promotion. Mom worked at a private company. The Municipal Council couldn't control that. But Uncle Pan had said that if she was willing, they could arrange a cushy government job. The workplace would be in the city center, near the Spirit Master Guild, and close to the reward house... It could be summed up in two words: safe. Su Hao was surprised and also felt the weight of being a Spirit Master. If it were before his transmigration, even being the top scorer in the college entrance exam would only get you a house as a reward. But in the精灵 Department, just a first place in the joint exam got the Municipal Council's attention. "Maybe it's also related to Heavenly King Zhou's favor and me getting the intermediate Spirit Master certificate." Su Hao didn't dare get cocky. The high status of a Spirit Master couldn't just be about wielding extraordinary power. He had some guesses. But after all, he was just a high school student. The priority was to train his精灵 and improve his strength. Meanwhile, as the joint exam came to an end, winter break arrived.
