Chapter 93: Chapter 92: The Kind-hearted God!
Reaching level thirty also meant that food-type spirit masters could now add a third attribute to their food, greatly enhancing their team's effectiveness.
Flender's eyes lit up with joy, clearly very pleased.
"Good, good, good! Oscar, you did not disappoint me. You are the fourth student among the current trainees to reach level thirty. On behalf of the academy, I congratulate you," Flender said.
Even Ma Hongjun's expression softened. He walked over to Oscar and, looking him in the eyes, sincerely congratulated him: "Not bad, Oscar. You reached level thirty so quickly. As a food-type spirit master, you are the most outstanding talent I have ever seen."
Ma Hongjun's words carried a hint of bitterness. After all, he had just experienced some personal turmoil. Although Flender had detailed the pros and cons of his body's transformation, Ma Hongjun still felt uneasy.
Especially when Flender had said: "It's only three minutes, but as long as it doesn't affect your ability to reproduce, it's worth the cost of becoming stronger!"
But how could Flender know that Ma Hongjun's three minutes included paying, undressing, doing the deed, dressing, and leaving! The actual duration was just three seconds!
Seeing his friend improve made Ma Hongjun feel worse than being defeated.
The others, including Yunfeng, all congratulated Oscar.
It wasn't until Tang San walked up to Oscar and congratulated him that Oscar's expression changed slightly. Still, he managed to squeeze out a smile and responded to Tang San.
Tang San didn't mind. In his heart, having Yunfeng as a friend was enough. As for Xiao Wu? She was his future girlfriend! There was no doubt about that!
Flender's expression shifted a few times before he sighed and announced: "Alright, today's class will now begin."
"Today's class is simple. Oscar, you're the main focus. The lesson for today is that each of you, except Oscar, must eat at least one of each of the two types of sausages Oscar makes."
"What?" Xiao Wu exclaimed.
"Dean, what kind of lesson is this?"
Flender responded sternly: "This is called adaptive training. Let me ask you, which is more important: life or dignity? When you have to choose one, which will it be?"
"Oscar's incantations may sound indecent, but I said it yesterday—he's a food-type spirit master with innate full spirit power and extraordinary talent. The sausages he produces are the best food-type spirit weapons I've ever seen. While at the academy, he is one of your team members. If you can't build rapport with him, you'll waste the best support you could have."
"This is also training for your mindset. If you can't do this, how will you survive in the spirit master world? For survival, you must do whatever it takes. Eating a sausage is nothing; in a life-or-death situation, you'd eat rats, cockroaches, and earthworms if you had to."
Hearing Flender's last statement, the three girls present turned pale and looked visibly uncomfortable, especially Ning Rongrong, who already showed signs of nausea.
Yunfeng, however, acknowledged Flender's words, knowing that in desperate situations, any edible thing could provide the energy needed to survive.
But seeing the girls' discomfort, Yunfeng thought for a moment and walked over to Tang San, giving him a meaningful glance.
Tang San immediately understood and nodded. While it didn't matter for most, he couldn't allow the girl he liked, Xiao Wu, to be upset.
With this in mind, Tang San walked up to Oscar, put an arm around his shoulders, and warmly whispered in his ear:
"When reciting your incantations, it's best if we can't hear them, or else…"
Oscar, still haunted by memories of the entrance exam day, quickly nodded, banishing any distracting thoughts.
Flender noticed Tang San's subtle maneuver but didn't interfere. After all, Tang San had powerful connections, and Flender couldn't shield Oscar forever. Some obstacles had to be overcome by oneself.
"This lesson is mandatory for everyone. Don't question my decision. From the moment you arrived, you were told that Shrek Academy trains monsters, not ordinary people. Oscar, begin," Flender said, his face stern and impartial. His expression told the students that no one would get away with slacking.
Oscar's heart was already celebrating, his eyes gleaming with mischief, especially as he glanced at Ning Rongrong. If he could, he would have kissed Flender out of gratitude, thinking to himself, "Dean, I love you so much!"
Flender's decision not only fostered team unity but also gave Oscar immense psychological satisfaction.
However, when Oscar looked at Tang San beside him, his smile disappeared.
"How did I forget about this troublemaker!"
Left with no choice, Oscar raised both hands and began softly muttering his spirit incantations:
"I have a big sausage." "I have a small sausage."
A thick and a thin sausage, each with a unique flavor, appeared in Oscar's palms.
Yunfeng and the others, noticing that Oscar merely moved his lips and still produced food, quickly understood that the volume of the incantation didn't affect its effectiveness. It only needed to be spoken aloud. Oscar's loud proclamations before were purely for his own twisted amusement.
Even Flender couldn't help but frown at Oscar.
Seeing the shift in the atmosphere, Oscar wisely kept silent.
In the end, Yunfeng stepped forward with a smile, took the food from Oscar's hands, and ate it in a few bites, saying earnestly:
"It's quite good. Keep it up, Oscar!"
Oscar swore he saw a god in that moment! The sunlight cast a golden glow on Yunfeng, making him appear divine and extraordinarily radiant.
"A kind-hearted god has finally shown me, Oscar, some mercy!"
Yunfeng's words were like a ray of sunshine, dispelling the darkness in Oscar's heart.
Oscar thought it was over, but Yunfeng's next statement nearly brought him to tears.
"You guys should try it too. It's quite tasty!"
