Chapter 112: Energy testing machine

It turned out that the competition wasn’t just about battles, but also coordination matches, and there were individual and team divisions.

Qiao Sang understood now; no wonder there were Pets like Little Qiu Pu that weren’t good at fighting alone.

If it was a team battle, Little Qiu Pu could act as a healer with its healing skills, and if it had skills like Vine, it could also provide crowd control. If it also knew an offensive skill like Fly Leaf Knife, it could provide suppression, making it absolutely the best Pet choice for team battles.

Even if it wasn’t for team battles, Little Qiu Pu’s appearance would make it a good choice for the coordination group.

“There’s a very important reason why you were chosen: the默契 and cooperation between you and your Pets far exceed that of other new students in the same year. While they are still troubled by how to get along with their Pets, you can already command your Pets in battle. This is your talent.”

“Some of you may not be the most outstanding among the new students, but when it comes to raising Pets, you are the best!” Qin Wen encouraged loudly.

As soon as she said this, everyone unconsciously straightened their backs a little, and even Jin Feifan, who was trying to minimize his presence at the very edge, slightly raised his chin.

Only Qiao Sang looked bewildered.

Command Pets in battle?

Didn’t it just require a contract?

This is the best?

Qin Wen observed everyone’s reactions, then changed the subject.

“Let me say something upfront: you are the school’s initial choice, but not the final choice. I hope that through this training camp, all of you can make it into the final group, instead of being replaced midway.”

Qiao Sang secretly sighed, first praising them, then warning them, letting them know that this training opportunity was not easy to come by.

As expected of a teacher, her words were eloquent and systematic.

Sure enough, everyone straightened their backs even more.

“Let’s not waste any more time.” Qin Wen pointed to an energy testing machine nearby and said, “Let’s first test everyone’s energy values. Please come and line up to have your Pets wear the testing helmets.”

An energy testing machine is different from a strength meter.

A strength meter measures strength, while an energy testing machine measures the energy value within a Pet.

In short, it was a high-tech product that was many times more expensive than a strength meter.

Qiao Sang looked at the testing machine with a bit of psychological shadow.

However, since it only required wearing a helmet for testing and not releasing skills, Qiao Sang felt it wasn’t a big problem.

“This test isn’t for selecting people for the combat group, is it?” Zheng Yining turned her head and asked softly.

“Very likely.” Qiao Sang nodded.

The amount of energy value reflects a Pet’s stamina and the power of its skills, which are highly valued in combat competitions, while seemingly less useful in coordination competitions.

“It’s over, it’s over. If I had known this was coming on the first day, I would have told Long-eared Cat to eat more energy meals this morning.” Zheng Yining said anxiously.

The energy meal had just been eaten and was still undigested in the body, so the test results would be slightly off, but not by much.

Qiao Sang glanced at the Long-eared Cat elegantly licking its paws on the ground and said, “I think Long-eared Cat is more suitable for coordination competitions.”

Zheng Yining sighed when she heard this, saying, “I know, but Long-eared Cat isn’t interested in coordination competitions, it only likes battles.”

Qiao Sang was stunned, and looked again at the Long-eared Cat still licking its paws.

You really can’t judge a Pet by its appearance…

She thought of something and suddenly turned to Jin Feifan next to her, asking, “Do you have a group you want to join?”

Jin Feifan said sheepishly, “Little Qiu Pu and I both want to join the coordination group.”

“Pu.”

Little Qiu Pu weakly echoed from the side.

Qiao Sang nodded; this was not surprising.

While they were talking, the line had formed, and soon the first person finished testing.

“Wang Jihang, 2602.”

Qin Wen reported the value on the test machine screen connected to the testing helmet.

The energy value of a Beginner Pet is between 1 and 10000. As a new Yu Beast Master’s newly contracted Pet, this energy value was considered quite good.

Luo Qian was holding a pen nearby, recording notes.

“Next.”

Saying that, Qin Wen reached out to remove the testing helmet from Bubble Bell’s head.

Unexpectedly, Bubble Bell tilted its head and dodged.

Qin Wen was stunned and tried again. This time, Bubble Bell floated up directly with the helmet still on its head.

“Bell.”

Bubble Bell floated and laughed, thinking someone was playing with it.

“Wang Jihang.” Qin Wen helplessly called its Yu Beast Master’s name.

“Bell King, be good, quickly take off the helmet.” Wang Jihang stepped forward anxiously.

“Bell.”

Bubble Bell smiled and called out to its Yu Beast Master, then floated in the opposite direction.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Are they sure they can command it in battle with this?

Fortunately, the testing helmet’s wire was connected to the testing machine, so Bubble Bell didn’t float too far.

The testing proceeded quickly.

Among the first 10 people, the highest was Lu You’s Little Horned Dragon, with an energy value of 5630, and the lowest was Peng Xiaoyuan’s Lijian Sparrow, with an energy value of 911.

Zheng Yining returned, holding her Long-eared Cat that had just finished testing, looking dejected.

Long-eared Cat’s energy value was 1156. If they were truly grouped by energy value, she clearly wouldn’t be able to rank in the top 6.

Moreover, there was still Qiao Dalao behind her, so the combat group likely had nothing to do with her.

“Next.”

Qiao Sang stepped forward.

The other 11 people all looked over in unison, giving her their full attention, especially Lu You and Lu Liangye, who had lost to Qiao Sang before. They wished they could stare a hole through her.

It’s common for peers to compare themselves, and Lu You had never lost to anyone his age since contracting Little Horned Dragon.

Until he met Qiao Sang…

Lu You stared intently at Qiao Sang’s back.

After that loss, he had watched several of Qiao Sang’s subsequent Bai Xin Competition matches and had to admit that she was indeed much stronger than him in combat. She even managed to win against a Controlled Puppet with her Fire Fang Dog.

That being said, he still felt a lingering resentment, always feeling that given enough time, he could defeat her.

After all, he had contracted a Dragon-type Pet Beast, Little Horned Dragon, while Qiao Sang had contracted a Fire Fang Dog. In terms of both attribute and future growth, he had the advantage.

He had thought they wouldn’t meet again, but he didn’t expect her to also be a new student at Saint Water Middle School.

What he least expected was to see her again, and she even brought a Treasure Hunting Ghost.

But even so, as long as Fire Fang Dog’s energy value was lower than Little Horned Dragon’s during the test, he could comfort himself.

Just give him time…

“Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost floated over impatiently.

It had been watching this thing from behind and had long wanted to try it.

Fire Fang Dog stayed in its Yu Beast Master’s arms, somewhat lost in thought.

No training today, it feels so boring…

Qin Wen was slightly startled, then reacted and put the helmet on Treasure Hunting Ghost’s head.

“Qiao Sang, Treasure Hunting Ghost, 1388.”

Qiao Sang was stunned when she heard the number. Others might not know, but she was well aware that Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was not yet a month old, and this value could rank seventh among the Pets tested earlier.

Was it too high?

After reporting the value, Qin Wen reached out to remove the helmet.

As a result, Treasure Hunting Ghost tilted its head and dodged, then blinked its eyes and met her gaze.

Qin Wen: “…!”

Everyone looked at Treasure Hunting Ghost’s actions and were all stunned, turning their heads in unison to look at Wang Jihang.

Wang Jihang’s face turned red with embarrassment and anger, he snapped, “Why are you looking at me?!”
