Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

"Huh?"

"Brother Chong, why does Hu Zi’s bark sound a little different from yesterday? Also, is it just me, or has he... gotten a bit bigger?"

Hearing the Tiger Striped Dog’s bark, Xu Jun glanced back, a look of confusion on his face.

Chen Chong looked at Xu Jun, then at the Tiger Striped Dog.

’It wasn’t just a feeling—he really had gotten bigger!’

Although he’d only had the Tiger Striped Dog for two days, it never left his side, even sleeping by his bed.

It was no exaggeration to say he knew its size and features like the back of his hand.

Chen Chong remembered clearly.

The Tiger Striped Dog had been a little over half a meter tall and about seventy centimeters long, weighing around twenty-five kilograms.

It had been too dark to see clearly inside the house, but now that they were out, the difference was plain as day.

Now, the Tiger Striped Dog was nearly a meter long!

As for its weight...

Chen Chong picked up the Tiger Striped Dog and hefted it.

’This weight... He’s at least thirty-five kilograms, easy.’

That was almost as heavy as the smallest Fear Wolf from yesterday.

But the changes didn’t stop there. There was also the Tiger Striped Dog’s coat.

Many people described this breed of hound’s coat as black and gold, but in reality, black and yellow was more accurate.

It was only under the sun that the yellow stripes took on a golden sheen.

But now, the Tiger Striped Dog’s coat could truly be described as black and gold.

The once-deep-yellow stripes were now streaked with threads of gold, and the black sections had become a deeper, more profound black, creating a much starker contrast.

The same was true of its bark.

Before, while the Tiger Striped Dog’s bark had been deep, there was a distinct, sharp undertone typical of a medium-sized dog.

But now, it was a completely husky and powerful sound, just like the bark of a large dog.

Chen Chong quickly crouched down and began to inspect the Tiger Striped Dog carefully...

He hadn’t noticed before, but a closer look revealed even more changes.

The Tiger Striped Dog’s fangs were longer, and its black pupils now had a faint, blood-red undertone.

Its body felt more solid, its limbs were longer and leaner than before, and its claws looked sharper...

Chen Chong was stunned.

’Could it be that drinking the Terror Wolf King’s blood and devouring its heart yesterday caused the Tiger Striped Dog to begin evolving into an Extraordinary Creature?’

’How could it change so much in a single night?’

WOOF—

Seeing its master crouching beside it, the Tiger Striped Dog wagged its tail happily and nudged against him with affection.

Chen Chong’s face was quickly covered in slobber.

He smiled, looking at the Tiger Striped Dog. Its appearance had changed, but its personality was still the same.

’No matter how much the Tiger Striped Dog changes, as long as its Loyalty remains at 100%, it’s still my dog.’

’Perhaps this change is a good thing.’

’The Tiger Striped Dog breed was already the pinnacle of hound breeding, its small frame packing power far beyond its size. Now that he’s bigger, his combat strength will surely be even greater.’

At the same time, Chen Chong grew curious.

’After drinking the Terror Wolf King’s blood and eating its heart, did the Tiger Striped Dog inherit the power to transform into an Extraordinary Creature?’

’Will this power continue to develop over time, or has it stagnated? Will it need more things containing Extraordinary Power to evolve again?’

Chen Chong didn’t know. He decided he would observe the Tiger Striped Dog closely for the next couple of days.

He even resolved to feed the Tiger Striped Dog some more of the Terror Wolf King’s meat when they returned.

’If the blood and heart contained Extraordinary Power, then the meat should too...’

...

"Chen Chong, I’ve been to that patch of woods to the north before. It’s about three kilometers from our school. It’s going to be a bit of a hike."

As they headed north, Zhang Meng spoke while hacking away the overgrown weeds blocking their path with a wooden axe.

Chen Chong, Wang Biao, the Tiger Striped Dog, and Huang Mao followed close behind.

Before they had even left the school gates, Xu Jun and Jia Wen had already headed south.

The two locations were too far apart.

The overgrown field with the traps was to the south, while the thicket with the mudflats was to the north.

If they went to check the traps first and then headed to the thicket, the round trip would waste at least the entire morning.

To be more efficient, they decided to split up.

Chen Chong would take a team to scout ahead, while Xu Jun and Jia Wen would check the traps.

The Blood-tooth Python and the Stone Claw Eagle wouldn’t reappear so soon after their battle, so he wasn’t worried about Xu Jun and Jia Wen running into any Extraordinary Creatures.

After collecting from the traps several times, everyone knew how to handle the bird nets and fish cages.

Chen Chong had a slightly selfish motive for this arrangement as well.

His daily settlement was different from the others. For the exact same haul, he would inexplicably receive a higher grade.

Xu Jun, however, got a normal daily settlement, just like everyone else at the school.

The bird nets and fish cages in the overgrown field didn’t yield much, but the harvest was consistent.

Xu Jun’s daily settlement scores had been too low lately. If he let him lead a team to check the traps and the haul was decent, it could pull his score up.

Otherwise, if the whole group went, given the bullshit way the scoring system worked, the already meager haul would be split for "cooperation," and the resulting score would be even lower.

The D+ that Xu Jun could have gotten would be dragged down to a D-.

If they were lucky enough to find a live wild duck or pheasant in the nets, his good brother might even have a shot at a C-Class rating.

With Jia Wen’s fighting skills, the two of them would be safe as long as no ridiculously powerful creatures showed up.

Barring any surprises, they should be able to catch up after noon...

RUSTLE RUSTLE—

Knee-high weeds scraped against Chen Chong’s cargo pants, making a rustling sound.

The group walked in silence, hardly exchanging a word.

With the Tiger Striped Dog trotting alongside, they could rely on its hearing and sense of smell for an early warning against any dangers in the woods.
