I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 22.2

She opened up the animal companions catalog on her bracelet.

Black Pterosaur, 10,000 points, too expensive, cross it out.

Unicorn, 8,000 points, also expensive, goodbye.

Double-headed snake, 7,000 points, still too expensive, gone.

…

Lin Xinghe found that she could only afford the last companion: a normal cat that didn’t have any special abilities.

Xiao Xue Ji watched the screen curiously.

There were also detailed introductions on the page and an option to view a holographic display.

Xiao Xue Ji tentatively tapped on that option, and a snow-white cat with blue eyes was playing with a ball of yarn and meowing.

She was fascinated by its behavior.

In less than a minute, an identical cat appeared in Lin Xinghe's arms.

The long fur was white, soft and slightly fragrant.

A pair of sapphire-blue eyes shone out from the poofy fur, and a rough tongue poked out to lick a pink nose. The cat was beautiful and fairy-like.

"Meow."

Lin Xinghe's heart melted.

She instructed gently, "You can stay with me in this form. If there are other people around, you can't be in your human form, alright?"

The cat nodded.

Lin Xinghe thought that Xiao Xue Ji was still different from ordinary toddlers. She was very intelligent, with strong learning and comprehensive abilities. Although she had been as ignorant as a newborn baby half an hour ago, she could already understand her words now and transformed twice. Her recharge time seemed to be shorter here than in the exam room.

Lin Xinghe packed up and left the dorm with Xiao Xue Ji.

Xiao Xue Ji's strong learning ability meant that Lin Xinghe should let her meet more people in order to adapt to this new environment faster.

Xiao Xue Ji sprawled across her shoulders, seemingly lighter than other cats.

Lin Xinghe climbed into her broom and flew to the cafeteria to eat dinner with her deskmate.

She had plenty of time until she planned to meet with Gu Taoyao, so she flew slowly to enjoy the scenery.

At that time, everyone had finished class.

Fantasy and xianxia department classmates dashed around in the sky, flying high and fast. Lin Xinghe was not in a hurry, so she rode her magic broom leisurely, and explained the basics of the school to Xiao Xue Ji in a low voice.

When she arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria, Gu Taoyao was waiting there for her. She stared at the companion Lin Xinghe's shoulder and said in awe, "Someone just said that you bought a useless pet cat. I   thought it was fake news, but it turns out you actually did buy a cat."

Gu Taoyao said sadly, "I remember that the pet cats cost more than 1,000 points. You are the first to buy one... Their abilities haven’t developed yet, and generally speaking, they won’t ever develop in the future. It’s just a purely ornamental cat, and..."

"Meow..." Xiao Xue Ji gently scratched Gu Taoyao’s face with her claws.

Gu Taoyao was about to die from its cuteness and immediately changed her words: "It's still worth it! Following you, it will definitely become very powerful! Ah, so cute! Is it a male cat or a female cat? What's its name?"

"Female cat, Xiao Xue Ji."

Gu Taoyao immediately thought of the last scene in Lin Xinghe's exam. When Xiao Xue Ji begged to be taken away, Lin Xinghe’s eyes welled up. That scene touched many audiences in many dimensions. It seemed that her deskmate was also a sentimental person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have raised a cat named Xiao Xue Ji when she came back. It is no wonder that she asked so many questions about bringing back living creatures.

Gu Taoyao avoided this sad topic and said, "Let's go eat!"

However, it was unfortunate that someone else wanted to bring up this sad topic.

"What's the use of naming it Xiao Xue Ji? It's not really Xue Xuan. Only when your brain has too much water will you buy a useless ornamental cat..." The person who spoke was Lu Qin, the president of the first class of the modern era department.

She originally thought that Lin Xinghe would not survive in the Snow Maiden exam room. She didn't expect her to perform exceptionally well and become one of the heroes of the modern era department. Lu Qin had had a little admiration for Lin Xinghe, thinking that she might be able to reverse the bad reputation of the modern department so that other departments would not dare to bully them. But now that she spent a lot of money to buy a useless cat, she felt that Lin Xinghe wasn’t too reliable.

She was lucky, but she couldn’t be that lucky in every exam room. A modern era department student who had no life-saving artifacts couldn’t survive in a real exam.

She admitted that Lin Xinghe was bold and careful, daring to do things that ordinary people wouldn’t ever dream of doing. If she was lucky and succeeded, she would be called a god, but if she failed, she would become the laughingstock of the whole school.

Lu Qin didn't feel guilty at all that she had pimped Lin Xinghe to Li Jun. In this school, the strong preyed on the weak. In order to survive in the examination room, she did whatever she could. Only villains attended this school, and some were even murders. No one was more noble than anyone else.

Lin Xinghe glanced at Lu Qin and said lazily, "I used the points I earned to buy what I wanted. Does it have anything to do with you? Come back and lecture me after you earn some points."

Lu Qin really couldn't earn many points, so when Lin Xinghe mocked her, Lu Qin's face turned blue with anger.

She sneered, "I'll see how powerful you will be in the next exam room!"

She glared at Lin Xinghe's cat and left.

During the meal, Gu Taoyao expressed her worries: "When you take exams, what will Xiao Xue Ji do? Do you want to bring it into the exam room or let it stay in the school?"

Lin Xinghe said, "I’ll bring her* into the exam room."

Gu Taoyao said worriedly, "If you die in the examination room, you cannot be resurrected. Your next exam room is a test for all four departments, and we still don't know what the exam prompt will be. It might be too dangerous..."

Lin Xinghe was just a little worried.

If Xiao Xue Ji used her skills, it would be easy for her to be recognized as the Xiao Xue Ji from her previous exam. Even if she refused to admit it, what if the school had a way to verify?

Lin Xinghe looked at Xiao Xue Ji beside her.

Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, Xiao Xue Ji was gone.

TL Notes:

*In Chinese, the pronoun “her” and “it” are pronounced in the same way, so while Gu Taoyao refers to the cat as an it, Lin Xinghe refers to Xiao Xue Ji as her.
