Chapter 210: School starts

Qiao Sang was stunned for a long time before remembering that Yabao’s second photoshoot had not yet been completed.

She had originally thought it would start in mid-August, but she didn’t expect to be contacted until now; if Song Yuan hadn’t called, she might have forgotten about it…

Qiao Sang quickly picked up her phone and answered: “Hello?”

“Qiao Sang, how’s the special training going?” Song Yuan’s voice came from the speaker.

“It’s going well,” Qiao Sang replied.

“That’s good. Oh, by the way, when do you have time recently? Our new autumn collection of sunglasses is out. Let me know when you’re free, and I’ll arrange the photoshoot,” Song Yuan said, getting to the real reason for her call after some pleasantries.

“Can we do 6:30 tonight?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Of course, I’ll arrange it right away,” Song Yuan said readily.

…

6:42 PM.

18th floor of Jin Yu Building.

Inside the photography studio, under the spotlight.

“Perfect, simply perfect!” The photographer praised Yabao, who was wearing rectangular red sunglasses, while holding the camera.

“Ya.” Yabao lifted its head and struck another pose.

“Excellent, just like that!” The photographer exclaimed excitedly.

“This cyberpunk-style high-tech sunglasses were custom-made based on the image of the Yan Ling Dog. What do you think?” Song Yuan asked with a smile, looking at the Yan Ling Dog wearing the futuristic sunglasses in front of her.

The designers in the store had almost gone bald from overwork, finally settling on this sunglasses design, all to capitalize on the popularity brought by the Yan Ling Dog.

She had absolute confidence that these sunglasses would definitely become a hit!

“Very good,” Qiao Sang praised sincerely.

Compared to the previous pink heart-shaped sunglasses, these sunglasses suited Yabao much better.

At this moment, everyone was looking at the Yan Ling Dog under the spotlight, no one noticed a blue head peeking out from Qiao Sang’s backpack, also staring intently at Yabao.

Water Luyana’s dark blue pupils reflected Yabao’s image.

“Lulu…”

I didn’t expect this guy to have a handsome side too…

After the photoshoot ended.

“To celebrate the successful photoshoot, how about we go out for dinner tonight?” Song Yuan suggested.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then said, “I ate before I came.”

Song Yuan: “…”

“Alright.” Song Yuan paused, not forcing the issue, then asked casually, “Are you short on money?”

How could she be short on money when she had a seven-figure sum in her bank card… Qiao Sang muttered to herself, but her mouth was honest: “Yes.”

To be honest, a seven-figure sum was deceptive; she was genuinely short on money…

Although the balance in the card looked like a lot, two-thirds of it was for Yabao and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s food expenses, and now Water Luyana had to be added, plus various other miscellaneous expenses, it simply wasn’t enough.

Fortunately, she had a Gold Finger that allowed her Pets to directly gain Point and evolve, without needing to buy evolution materials, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to afford to raise three Pets with this money.

“Then, what do you think about us continuing our cooperation?” Song Yuan’s eyes lit up as she asked.

“Okay,” Qiao Sang nodded.

Her cooperation with Song Yuan had been quite pleasant. When Yabao evolved early, violating the contract, she didn’t take the opportunity to threaten her, so Qiao Sang had a very good impression of her.

Song Yuan took a deep breath. She never expected Qiao Sang to be so straightforward.

Many Yu Beast Masters, after gaining a little fame and achievement, would immediately become arrogant and raise their prices, but Qiao Sang was still the same as before, nothing had changed.

For a moment, Song Yuan couldn’t help but feel emotional, a child who had just become a Yu Beast Master was indeed different from an adult who had entered society.

Just as Song Yuan was sighing, Qiao Sang spoke: “However, I have two conditions.”

“Tell me,” Song Yuan said seriously.

“First, I hope it won’t matter if the Yan Ling Dog evolves during the contract period,” Qiao Sang said.

“Of course.” Song Yuan smiled and assured her, “You don’t have to worry about that. If anything, I’d even prefer it if you had an evolution during the contract period.”

As the newest evolution of the Fire Fang Dog, the Yan Ling Dog’s evolution was also highly anticipated.

If the Yan Ling Dog could evolve during the contract period, her online store would definitely make a steady profit.

“Second,” Qiao Sang said seriously, “the price needs to be increased.”

Song Yuan: “…Of course.”

Forty minutes later, Qiao Sang walked out of the building with a satisfied expression, holding a one-year, million-dollar contract.

…

The next two days passed as usual.

Yabao’s anti-dizziness ability had significantly improved; after spinning for half a day and stopping, it no longer felt dizzy. However, using its telekinesis to spin while simultaneously spewing a Flame Vortex was still somewhat tiring, often stalling midway.

But this was only because the Flame Vortex’s proficiency was not yet high. Once the Flame Vortex’s proficiency was raised to mastery, the Counterattack Barrier would no longer have any problems.

As for Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, besides spending three hours playing virtual reality games every day, it spent most of its time training with rings, so its training was also on track.

However, Water Luyana’s situation gave Qiao Sang a headache.

It had almost watched all the celebrity Pet video compilations circulated online for hundreds of years, but it hadn’t taken a liking to a single one.

The fact that Water Luyana had high standards was now confirmed by Qiao Sang.

…

September 1st, the day all high school students uniformly started school.

Qiao Sang woke up early, washed up, ate a piece of bread, and then headed to school with her backpack containing Water Luyana.

There were many people on the first day of school, so to keep a low profile, Qiao Sang put Yabao into her yu beast codex.

Since she had stayed in Saint Water Middle School throughout August, she had a relatively thorough understanding of the terrain inside.

She walked straight through the crowd and arrived in front of the freshman class assignment board.

She remembered Wang Yao saying that special enrollment students were all assigned to Class 9.

Class 9…

Qiao Sang scanned the list for Class 9, and after reading the list from top to bottom, she paused.

Why wasn’t it there?

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, and then a forgotten memory suddenly resurfaced.

Right, Mom had said when she called her to come for the intensive training that she had been assigned to the Yu Chong Class…

Qiao Sang looked at the list for the Yu Chong Class and, sure enough, saw her name at number 39.

First Year (1) Class.

The Yu Chong Class, which was also the key class.

Students selected for this class were all rigorously screened; they were either guaranteed admission students, top-ranking students from the high school entrance exam, or the cream of the crop among special enrollment students.

In short, those who could be selected were all exceptionally talented.

Qiao Sang originally thought that the academic prodigies in Saint Water Middle School’s Yu Chong Class would all be quietly sitting in their seats, holding books brought from home, waiting for the teacher to arrive.

But as soon as she entered, the classroom was in an uproar, with everyone chasing their Pets, running around in chaos.

“White Sand Fox, don’t run!”

“Damn it, whose Sand Burrowing Rat is this! Why is it biting my Little Sand!”

“Green Ke Meow Meow, quickly give him back his glasses!”

“Oh my god! Double-Headed Black Crow! Why do we have an Evil-type Pet in our class!”

“Can someone please take this Little Chubby Dove off my head!”

“Whose Short-tailed Snake is this! It’s crawling on me!”

“Holy cow! Why did my hat suddenly fly off!”

Qiao Sang looked over as if she sensed something, touched her head, and sure enough, it was Little Treasure Hunting Ghost who did it…
