Chapter 152
For the next few days, Chloe remained at the experimental base of The No.1 Military Academy, assisting researchers in conducting experiments on the Black Blob.
The Black Blob was always delighted to see Chloe and behaved extremely obediently.
However, if the Lion Cat was around, it would roll its countless eyes at the Lion Cat.
After several rounds of this, Chloe couldn't help but sigh, patting the Black Blob's tentacles while saying:
"Why bother? The Lion Cat doesn't care about your eye-rolling. Even if you roll your eyeballs until they fall out, you probably won't get its attention."
The Black Blob didn't listen.
It endured for about ten seconds, then started rolling its eyes at the Lion Cat again.
It even tried to use its tentacles to cover the eyes facing Chloe, only rolling its eyes at the Lion Cat with the other side.
The Lion Cat lazily lay on the ground, licking its own fur, completely unconcerned.
So the Black Blob rolled its eyes with even more vigor.
Even when being experimented on and rendered unconscious by electric shocks, the Black Blob's eyeballs still twitched unconsciously.
Chloe simply didn't know what to say, and could only shake her head helplessly: "What an idiot."
The Black Blob was an even bigger idiot than Daniel.
The consecutive days of experiments greatly excited the researchers, who happily recorded the experimental data and planned to extract genes for making medicine.
As the experiments were nearing completion, Chloe no longer needed to stay there.
On the day she was leaving, the Black Blob seemed to sense something and clung to Chloe tightly, throwing a tantrum whenever she moved a few meters away.
It looked anxious.
How could it not be anxious? Having just got its pet back, it might be leaving again. How could the Black Blob possibly be at ease?
Even with food, playtime, and a place to sleep here, the Black Blob didn't find this place very good without its human pet around.
Moreover, not every human was qualified to be its pet.
For instance, the humans who kept poking it with needles - the Black Blob didn't like them at all.
Since they weren't as good-looking as its pet, they naturally weren't qualified to be its pet.
However, the Black Blob couldn't stop its pet from leaving.
This made it very dejected.
So it could only do its utmost to make its pet stay with it for a little longer.
But this brief time wasn't enough, and its pet eventually left.
A pet could live well without an owner, but the Black Blob couldn't. Losing its pet would make the Black Blob very sad and unable to eat for a long time.
...
After leaving the experimental base, the first thing Chloe did was check whether her fellow Vampires had been training diligently.
As long as Chloe was there, those young Vampires would all behave themselves.
During training times, they would train; even when not scheduled, they would still train, fearing they might fall behind others' progress and get a stinging slap across the face from Chloe.
Chloe never went easy on anyone, and would take action when necessary, regardless of the person's identity.
Most importantly, no one dared defy Chloe's orders.
When Chloe arrived, the group of young Vampires, led by Yavi, were running laps on the training field.
Their speed was much faster than before, indicating the intensive training had paid off.
Chloe nodded in satisfaction.
This slight nod was quickly noticed by the young Vampires, led by Yavi, and they immediately perked up, running with even more vigor.
By the end of the fiftieth lap, they were panting heavily, their legs too sore to even walk.
Yet despite this, they all looked up at Chloe with bright, hopeful eyes, anticipating her praise.
Of course, Chloe was not stingy with praise; on the contrary, she enjoyed complimenting others.
"Well done. You see, you're not weak at all. As long as you train hard, the Human Race and Werewolf Race are no match for you."
Hearing this, Yavi said through heavy breaths: "Of course, we were just going easy on them before."
As soon as he said this, the others around him chimed in: "Yeah, that's right."
"Those little Human chumps are no match for us."
"Is that so?" Chloe remarked meaningfully, "But it was those same Human chumps who beat you until you were covered in bruises just a few days ago."
Everyone: "..."
They dared not speak anymore.
Chloe continued sternly: "Regardless, I hope you can coexist peacefully with the other races."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked somewhat bewildered.
They exchanged glances hesitantly.
Chloe knew this would be impossible to achieve in a short time, but she wasn't in a hurry.
Some things are better achieved without haste, as rushing often backfires.
She didn't give the young Vampires a chance to dwell on it further, her fingers resting on her sword hilt:
"What are you gawking at? You've had enough rest, haven't you? Start sparring practice right now, quickly!"
The young Vampires didn't dare complain and could only struggle to stand up and begin sparring with their peers through gritted teeth.
Not only Chloe, but the Human Race, Werewolf Race, and Elf Race, each occupying their own training room, were being similarly disciplined.
As a result, when the training session ended and everyone headed to the canteen for meals, they all eyed each other strangely.
The Vampires looked at the Werewolves: "Are these the ones we're supposed to coexist with? So burly and unsightly."
The Werewolves looked at the Vampires: "Are these the ones we're supposed to coexist with? So stuffy and pretentious."
The two groups found each other distasteful, glaring at one another after every bite of food, the atmosphere tense.
The Humans and Elves fared slightly better, able to exchange a few words during meals.
Since entering the canteen, Chloe no longer paid attention to her fellow Vampires.
She and Anderson occupied a table, eating their meals while waiting for others.
Sure enough, when Qin Huaibei and the others arrived, they spontaneously sat around Chloe and Anderson.
At this one table gathered the leading figures of different first-year races, a sight that surprised many at The No.1 Military Academy who witnessed it.
Although they knew the group had a good relationship since the United Military School Tournament, they hadn't expected them to be so close.
They appeared to be... truly without any rift between them.
Chloe and Qin Huaibei each snatched a chicken leg from Daniel's bowl, and before he could explode, they placated him:
"You're already quite heavy. Your body fat percentage is too high, you need to lose weight."
Hearing this, Daniel looked half-convinced: "Really?"
He unconsciously touched his belly.
"Really."
The two lied through their teeth while munching on the chicken legs they had just stolen.
Hearing their adamant tone, Daniel immediately lost confidence, putting down his bowl and patting his belly, muttering:
"Could I really have gotten fat? No way..."
