Chapter 10: watch TV

Just as Qiao Sang was giggling, her phone vibrated. It was Fang Sisi.

Qiao Sang composed herself and clicked into the messages, only then realizing that her deskmate had sent eight or nine messages since yesterday.

“Why didn’t you come to class today?”

“I just heard someone say that Lao Ban called your mom yesterday, is that true!!!”

“Your mom found out you scored zero?”

“Why aren’t you answering me?”

“Are you there? Are you there?”

“Why didn’t you come to class today either?!”

“Why is your mom at school again? Nothing happened to you, did it?!”

The last message had just been sent.

“Did you disappear off the face of the earth?”

Qiao Sang tapped on her phone.

“Still alive.”

Soon, she got a reply.

“Wah, wah, so you’re still alive!”

“Why haven’t you been to school these past two days? You don’t know how dark Lao Ban’s face has been these two days!”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment.

“It’s summer now, are you sure he wasn’t just tanned?”

…

After a few casual chats, Qiao Sang told Fang Sisi why she had taken leave.

Fang Sisi didn’t believe her at all.

It wasn’t that she looked down on Qiao Sang; it was just that spontaneous awakening had only ever happened to exceptionally gifted individuals.

They were usually the top students in school, and even the very few who didn’t like to study would excel in other areas.

As for Qiao Sang, her grades were even worse than hers, so it was absolutely impossible.

Qiao Sang didn’t argue; she just went to her room, took a picture of the spontaneous awakening certificate, and sent it over.

There was no movement from the other side.

It was more than ten minutes later that Fang Sisi sent a message.

Qiao Sang looked down, her mouth twitching.

“May you not forget me when you get rich.”

…

…

Qiao Sang didn’t forget the Fat Home Dove. She went to the cupboard, took out the food specifically for the Fat Home Dove, and placed it in front of her before thinking of herself.

She simply made a bowl of egg fried rice to solve her hunger, and it was already 14:07 in the afternoon.

Perhaps because of the morning’s commotion, the Fire Fang Dog was curled up on the sofa, sleeping peacefully.

Qiao Sang didn’t disturb it.

She had originally planned to go to the Yu Beast Center again in the afternoon with the certificate, but seeing how soundly the Fire Fang Dog was sleeping, she changed her mind.

Qiao Sang tiptoed into her room, picked up a copy of “Extraordinary Creatures Analysis, Grade Nine, Second Semester,” and leaned against the bed to read.

It was only when she was checking the yu beast codex and information about spontaneous awakeners on her phone that she realized the high school entrance exam was not as simple as her deskmate had said.

The high school entrance exam tests only theoretical knowledge. Once awakened by magnetic wave stimulation, a brain development score will be added: 1% development is 20 points, 2% is 40 points.

With a total score of 650, this percentage of points was truly insignificant.

The Ministry of Education did indeed attach great importance to spontaneous awakeners, issuing a series of enrollment policies for them every year, but none of them stated that one could enter a Yu Beast High School with a zero score.

She could enter a vocational high school, but Qiao Sang didn’t want to.

Spontaneous awakeners could enter Yu Beast High School through two channels: recommendation and special recruitment.

Recommendation, in addition to quota recommendations, also depended on the junior high school grades. The student’s data would be sent by their school to the desired Yu Beast High School for admission qualification review.

With Qiao Sang’s grades, which were consistently third from the bottom in her class, even if she was a spontaneous awakener, the school would probably be too embarrassed to recommend her.

The remaining option, special recruitment, was Qiao Sang’s choice.

The 108 Yu Beast High Schools in Hanggang City issue special recruitment policies every year. Each person is limited to applying for special recruitment at two Yu Beast High Schools. Once the application materials are approved, they can participate in the corresponding examination.

Those who pass the special recruitment examination still have to take the high school entrance exam.

Only by achieving the specified score in the high school entrance exam can one attend a Yu Beast High School.

Although the specified scores for each Yu Beast High School are different, one thing is the same—the high school entrance exam.

Qiao Sang felt a bit helpless; in the end, she still had to take the high school entrance exam.

…

…

As the sun set, the Fire Fang Dog’s barking came from the living room.

Qiao Sang put down her book and walked out of the room.

“Ya!”

The Fire Fang Dog leaped and jumped into Qiao Sang’s arms.

Qiao Sang stroked the Fire Fang Dog’s head, her heart melting.

She had no choice but to choose the Fire Fang Dog that caught her eye, and she didn’t expect it to be so well-behaved. Perhaps this was fate.

One person and one beast sat on the sofa watching TV.

The Fat Home Dove, being large, sat on the floor.

The Fire Fang Dog had never seen anything so novel, its eyes filled with excitement.

If Qiao Sang wasn’t holding it, it would probably have run to the TV and pressed its face against it to watch.

The TV was broadcasting the weather forecast.

A capable woman in a suit, speaking standard Mandarin, said, “According to the weather doll’s detection, tomorrow in Pantai City will be sunny with scattered clouds, temperatures ranging from 30℃ to 36℃. It is recommended to wear…”

The Fire Fang Dog’s eyes widened. Why was there a person inside that box?

Qiao Sang changed the channel.

In a Yu Beast society, to achieve high viewership, Yu Beast Masters and extraordinary creatures were the true traffic drivers.

The major TV stations had clearly mastered this essence; no matter which channel she switched to, there were reports related to Yu Beast Masters.

“Mr. Wang Dian’ao, is your romance with Ms. Luotang real?” The reporter’s microphone was almost shoved into the young man’s face.

“It’s real,” the young man admitted generously.

“Both of you are participating in the Yuhua regional competition. If you meet in the competition, will you go easy?” another reporter asked.

“No, Luotang is an excellent Yu Beast Master. If I go against her, I’m not 100% confident,” the young man replied with a smile.

“May I ask about your Armored-Footed Bear…”

Qiao Sang changed the channel, and the screen shifted to a dark blue Thunder Horn Rhino appearing before the Fire Fang Dog.

Its eyes were fierce, its thick hind legs constantly plowed the ground, and purple electric arcs covered its body, making sizzling sounds, as if it would leap out of the TV screen the next second.

The Fire Fang Dog’s body stiffened, and its fur slowly stood on end.

“The Thunder Horn Rhino has endured the Black Wind Wolf’s tornado! It hasn’t retreated! It looks like it’s about to unleash some ultimate move. I wonder what contestant Xu Zhou will do next!” the Commentator exclaimed excitedly.

This was a rerun. Various regions held different competitions every year, and the sports channel Qiao Sang was watching now specifically broadcasted Yu Beast Master competitions in Hanggang City.

The camera cut to the all-black Black Wind Wolf.

The Black Wind Wolf’s blue eyes held a murderous aura, blood stained its body, and it was breathing heavily through its nose. Because its fur was black, the wounds were not obvious; only a few drops of blood on the ground showed it was injured.

The Fire Fang Dog relaxed.

“After using the tornado, the Black Wind Wolf’s stamina has clearly decreased…”

Before the Commentator could finish, the screen returned to the Thunder Horn Rhino.

It was seen that the purple arcs on its body grew stronger and stronger. When they covered its entire body for about two meters, it finally charged out.

“Bang!”

The TV made a violent explosion sound and was scrapped…

The air seemed to freeze.

Qiao Sang mechanically looked at the Fire Fang Dog, her gaze blank, and opened her mouth to say something, but before she could speak.

“Ya!” The Fire Fang Dog turned and snuggled into Qiao Sang’s arms.

That big guy in the box just now scared it!
