Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 196: Isn’t the opportunity here?
What to do when a genius junior sister suddenly talks nonsense seriously…
Before Wang Yao could figure out how to answer without hurting Qiao Sang’s self-esteem, Xu Yajie and Shi Gaofeng walked in with dark circles under their eyes.
Wang Yao immediately stopped them: “What’s wrong with your eyes? Were they sucked by a Ghost-type Pet?”
“Qun…” Little Treasure Hunting Ghost felt wronged.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Shi Gaofeng yawned and walked closer, saying, “School is about to start, isn’t it? I haven’t finished my summer homework, so I stayed up late to catch up. By the way, the ‘Pet and Evolution’ workbook was distributed to our entire grade, right? Have you finished yours? Lend it to me to copy.”
“Aren’t the answers in the back?” Wang Yao asked, puzzled.
“Our class teacher took all the answers away,” Xu Yajie said with a bitter face.
“Your teacher is doing it for your own good. It’s because your class has the worst grades,” Wang Yao said, shrugging her shoulders.
Qiao Sang casually asked, “Are you two in the same class?”
“Yes, he and I are both in Class 9,” Shi Gaofeng said, putting his arm around Xu Yajie’s shoulder, “If you don’t have any problems with class assignments later, you should also be assigned to Class 9.”
Qiao Sang hadn’t spoken yet.
Wang Yao glared at Shi Gaofeng, then turned to explain, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. He thinks you’re a special enrollment student. Most special enrollment students each year are assigned to Class 9, so he thought you would also go to Class 9.”
Shi Gaofeng was stunned for a moment and looked at Qiao Sang: “Aren’t you a special enrollment student?”
She is… Qiao Sang was about to speak when Wang Yao said with a serious face:
“Qiao Sang looks like a top student, she must have been recommended, how could she be a special enrollment student like you two?”
Underachiever Qiao Sang: “…”
“Don’t look down on special enrollment students,” Shi Gaofeng said, displeased. “Although our Class 9 doesn’t have high cultural scores, we’ve never dragged behind in terms of promotion rates.”
“That still can’t compare to those of us who are recommended,” Wang Yao said.
Among high school students, there’s a subtle chain of contempt.
Recommended students look down on special enrollment students, special enrollment students look down on regular students, and regular students always feel that if they were given the same time to train Pets and enough resources, they could surpass special enrollment students.
After all, their scores far exceed those of special enrollment students, and everyone basically awakened their brain domain at the same time and became Yu Beast Masters at the same time. The only difference lies in Pets and resources.
Most of those who can become special enrollment students are second-generation Yu Beast Masters from wealthy families.
This made everyone suddenly realize in high school the gap they hadn’t experienced in middle school, which in turn led to some people feeling unbalanced internally.
However, if a special enrollment student brought honor to the school, won competitions, and got into a famous Yu Beast University, everyone would then think they were amazing.
After all, those who can participate in competitions for the school are all special enrollment students from various schools. Isn’t winning among a group of special enrollment students amazing?
Although everyone felt unbalanced internally, they also knew that some things couldn’t be achieved by simply throwing resources at them; it still required real strength.
Yu Beast Masters might be able to widen the gap with their peers using resources in the early stages, but later on, it depends on aptitude plus resources.
No matter how rich one is, if a Yu Beast Master lacks aptitude and their brain domain cannot expand, they can only contract with one Pet in their lifetime.
If a Pet lacks aptitude, no matter how many resources are spent, not only will it be unable to learn skills, but evolution will also be a problem.
So, in the early stage when everyone had just entered high school and become a new Yu Beast Master, they were not convinced by special enrollment students.
Of course, none of the above applies to Saint Water Middle School…
Those who can enter Saint Water Middle School as special enrollment students are geniuses whose brain domains awakened independently. There are only a few such individuals in a city each year, so who would dare to be unconvinced?
The recommended students of Saint Water Middle School dare to be unconvinced…
Because most of them are also geniuses whose brain domains awakened independently.
Wang Yao was one of them.
As a recommended student who also became a member of the special enrollment students through her own strength, Wang Yao truly believed that Qiao Sang, who was a year younger and more capable than her, was a genuine recommended student.
“What’s wrong with being a recommended student? We’re still in the same school,” Shi Gaofeng rolled his eyes.
Wang Yao opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, when Qiao Sang patted her shoulder.
“What’s wrong?” Wang Yao turned her head and asked.
Qiao Sang looked touched and said, “Although I know I’m very smart, I’m really a special enrollment student.”
Wang Yao: “!!!”
“Hahahahaha…” Shi Gaofeng almost choked with laughter.
Wang Yao looked incredulous. So, she was crushed by a special enrollment student who was a year younger than her?!
No, that’s not right…
Wang Yao suddenly remembered that she and Qiao Sang had never actually battled. She had two Intermediate Pets, while Qiao Sang, although she had a Yan Ling Dog, her Treasure Hunting Ghost was still a Beginner Pet.
If Qiao Sang was a special enrollment student, her cultural scores should also be lower than hers…
Thinking this, Wang Yao’s confidence, which had been battered during this period, immediately returned.
Just as Wang Yao was silently regaining her confidence, Xu Yajie, who was beside her, suddenly said, “Qiao Sang, why do I feel like you’re different today?”
Qiao Sang was stunned: “Different how?”
“You seem very happy today, your mouth hasn’t stopped smiling. Did something good happen?” Xu Yajie asked.
“Now that you mention it, she does seem different than usual,” Shi Gaofeng also looked over.
Sure enough, everyone can tell when I’m in a good mood… Qiao Sang smiled and said, “It’s just that yesterday, when I helped someone find a lost Pet, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost learned Dark Shadow Control.”
Wang Yao: “…”
Xu Yajie and Shi Gaofeng fell silent.
A moment later, Xu Yajie spoke: “I didn’t expect you to be quite humorous, Qiao Sang.”
That sounds so familiar…
Seeing that two people in a row didn’t believe her, Qiao Sang said helplessly, “I’m telling the truth.”
“If that’s true, I’ll wash my hair while standing on my head,” Shi Gaofeng laughed.
“Count me in, I’ll have diarrhea while standing on my head,” Xu Yajie joked.
When Shi Gaofeng heard this, his competitive spirit immediately flared up: “Damn it, if that’s true, I’ll have diarrhea while standing on my head, and then wash my hair with my diarrhea!”
Wang Yao said in disgust, “You two are disgusting.”
“What’s disgusting about it? We don’t actually have to do it anyway,” Shi Gaofeng laughed.
If this were usually, Qiao Sang might not bother with them, but now…
“Are you two serious?” Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow and asked.
Shi Gaofeng was stunned for a moment: “Of course, if it’s true, you can make us do it in front of all the students in the school!”
After saying that, he didn’t forget to nudge Xu Yajie next to him: “You agree, right?”
“Yes,” Xu Yajie nodded.
This couldn’t be blamed on her. She was just wondering how to make Shi Gaofeng remove his negative review, and didn’t the opportunity just present itself… Qiao Sang turned to Little Treasure Hunting Ghost and smiled, “Little Qunbao, they don’t believe you. Show them.”
“Qun~”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was clearly very interested in the dire oath Shi Gaofeng and Xu Yajie were about to fulfill.
After happily spinning in a circle, its eyes suddenly turned purple. Immediately afterward, its shadow twisted, and then the shadow suddenly elongated, rapidly connecting to Yabao, who was quietly watching the show nearby.
Yabao blinked its wet eyes and looked down at its connected shadow on the ground.
The next second, it suddenly started spinning in place like a top.
Yabao: “???”
Wang Yao, Xu Yajie, Shi Gaofeng: “!!!”
Regarding the comments not being visible, it seems to be like this for every book. It should be fine in a couple of days…
