Riding in Lin Jing's car, Fang Yuan successfully returned to Peaceful City.
Finally, he and Eevee got off near First High School. Although... the atmosphere along the way was a bit strange, he had to admit that getting a ride was really comfortable and convenient.
And this place was less than a kilometer away from his home, so Fang Yuan could just walk back himself.
...
With a large backpack on his back and Eevee perched on his shoulder, Fang Yuan treated it as exercise, panting as he climbed to the fifth floor.
Putting down his backpack, Fang Yuan found the key and opened the door directly.
But when he entered the house, he was puzzled.
"You're back?"
"I'm back," Fang Yuan said.
In the living room, Father Fang was watching TV. Hearing the sound of the door, Mother Fang also came out of the kitchen.
"Great! Our family's great Trainer is finally back."
Father Fang stood up with a gratified expression.
"What's going on? Didn't you go to work today?"
Fang Yuan moved his luggage to the cabinet and asked.
"The factory gave us a day off, and so did your mother's workplace. Can you guess why?"
"Could it be because of me?" Fang Yuan asked in surprise.
"Yes, I said, our child is promising. Today, Mom will personally cook a big meal for Eevee, our great hero," Mother Fang said, her joy evident on her face.
Fang Yuan: Make it clear, who exactly is your child?! After Father Fang's explanation, Fang Yuan understood.
It was all because of the Little Phoenix King Cup.
For some reason, the leaders at Father Fang and Mother Fang's workplaces had also heard about Fang Yuan winning the Little Phoenix King Cup.
To congratulate him, they not only gave Father Fang and Mother Fang red envelopes but also gave them a day off.
"Again?"
Fang Yuan was speechless.
After the Secret Realm incident, in addition to the Trainer Association sending condolences, Father Fang and Mother Fang's workplaces also gave them condolence money.
That's why he said "again" this time.
"Yes, in the past, red envelopes were only given when someone's child was admitted to university. I didn't expect we'd receive them twice already. I'd say, you'll definitely receive another one after the College Entrance Examination," Father Fang said with a smile.
Fang Yuan and Eevee looked at each other.
Oh well, it's a good thing anyway. Who would complain about having too much money?
However, besides these things, Father Fang also told Fang Yuan another important matter.
Father Fang's expression was serious: "Son, this morning, two high schools inquired whether we had the intention of sending you to Modu for school. Could this be a new type of scam?"
"That's right, they said it's because of your performance in the Little Phoenix King Cup."
Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "For something like this, you could just call the admissions offices of those two schools to confirm if it's true, right?"
"The phone numbers do match the school information online, but we haven't confirmed again yet," Father Fang said.
"Then it should be true, but is it really necessary to make such a big fuss over a Little Phoenix King Cup?" Fang Yuan asked in surprise.
Just a rookie's competition...
"I'm not sure about that, and they also promised very good conditions, like waiving your Senior Year tuition for a year, and helping your mother and me solve the problems of work and accommodation over there…" Father Fang said.
"I also checked, and the educational resources and college entrance examination rates of those two high schools are much better than Peaceful City First High School. If it's true, should we consider it?" Father Fang said.
Which parents don't want their children to have better development? Father Fang and Mother Fang are no exception.
So before Fang Yuan returned home, they had discussed it many times, but in the end, they couldn't make up their minds and were waiting to hear Fang Yuan's opinion.
Fang Yuan fell into deep thought.
People go to high places, and water flows to low places.
If he could really go to Modu to study and have his tuition waived, Fang Yuan would naturally be willing.
Having experienced the environment in Modu, Fang Yuan knew the backwardness of Peaceful City. If he wanted to get better development, a big city would definitely be the first choice.
However, facing such a sudden event, Fang Yuan couldn't make a decision for a while.
No matter what, he was only sixteen years old.
Just as Fang Yuan was struggling, a guest came to the house.
Professional Trainer Yang Han, visited for the second time. Last time, only Fang Yuan was at home. This time, Fang Yuan's whole family was there.
As Fang Yuan's savior, Father Fang and Mother Fang were naturally very welcoming and immediately entertained him warmly, even inviting him to stay for dinner.
Yang Han smiled and declined, "No need, this time I came mainly to talk to Mr. Fang, Mrs. Fang, and Fang Yuan about some things."
Fang Yuan looked at this uncle and seemed to have guessed his intention.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. After Fang Yuan won the Little Phoenix King Cup, surely other schools have contacted you, right?"
Father Fang nodded, "That's right, there are two high schools in total. We were just discussing this matter."
"What do you think?"
Father Fang didn't treat this professional Trainer who saved Fang Yuan as an outsider.
The life-saving grace was, in Father Fang's eyes, unpayable. The Fang family had repeatedly tried to give Yang Han gifts, but he had refused. Father Fang felt that Yang Han's character was trustworthy.
"My opinion is, you can go, but it's not necessary," Yang Han said.
"Let me give you an example. After arriving in Modu, Fang Yuan's starting line may be a little higher than other students, but based on my understanding of you, the help you can provide to Fang Yuan is limited. In this way, as time goes by, other students will slowly catch up with this gap through various resources, and Fang Yuan will no longer have any advantage."
"No matter how talented a Trainer is, they need resources to support them. The environment in Modu is a competition of resources, so at least for now, it is not suitable for Fang Yuan."
The schools in Modu must have also investigated Fang Yuan's background. The cost of cultivating this kind of grassroots Trainer is too high. For the sake of rational allocation of resources, they will definitely not promise excessively high treatment. Yang Han was sure of this.
"So, Mr. Yang, your meaning is…" Father Fang heard the other party's implication.
"If Peaceful City First High School doesn't make a statement, speaking from the bottom of my heart, I highly recommend Fang Yuan go. Just the exemption of hundreds of thousands in tuition fees can alleviate a lot of pressure for you."
"However, what if Peaceful City can offer better conditions?"
"Actually, I'm here on behalf of the Peaceful City Trainer Association. Some time ago, the Secret Realm in Nanwu Town brought a batch of extra resources to the Peaceful City Trainer Association. To make reasonable use of these resources, the association, in conjunction with Peaceful City First High School, launched a New Star Plan. The main purpose is to support some local Rookie Trainers, providing vigorous cultivation specifically during Senior Year. Not only is tuition waived, but various subsidies and independent teaching are also provided..."
"Fang Yuan meets all the standards of the New Star Plan and is qualified to participate. If he participates in this New Star Plan, he also has the opportunity to directly obtain an Evolution Stone for Eevee to use."
"Moreover, in Peaceful City, the competitive pressure is relatively small. The resources that can be tilted towards Fang Yuan will definitely not be worse than if he went to any school in Modu."
"You might as well learn more about this before making a decision."
Yang Han glanced at Fang Yuan, obviously appreciating him very much.
"There's also the point that Senior Year is only a year, not worth making such a fuss over. If he needs to transfer schools, you would also have to accompany him to work in Modu, and may not adapt to the pace of life there. It's better to wait until he gets to university before deciding to let him develop in a better environment."
"Whether it's Modu University or Didu University, these famous schools are beyond comparison to any high school. Famous schools are a Trainer's starting point, the place where a Trainer truly experiences Growth. High school is just the foundation-laying stage. The gap in resources between schools can be compensated for through adjustments."
