Chapter 227: Brussels sprouts

Three months later, things had changed.

Just three months ago, she was called into the middle school homeroom teacher’s office, not only getting a face full of spit, but also having her parents called in.

Now, she was called to the principal’s office, but she was drinking tea with the principal of Hanggang City’s top-ranked Yu Beast High School… Qiao Sang sat in the chair, looking at the hot tea in front of her, lost in thought.

“Qiao Sang, what do you think of my proposal?” Wang Weidou held his tea, leaning back in his chair, smiling.

If anyone else had asked, Qiao Sang would have unhesitatingly replied: Not good.

But since it was the big boss of her current school asking, Qiao Sang had to consider her words carefully before speaking.

To be honest, she really didn’t know what the principal was thinking, to actually suggest she participate in the senior year competition of this year’s National Campus Pet Beast League.

It was like a game: if the rewards from the treasure chests were the same regardless of the mode you played, then why choose hard mode when easy mode was available? She wasn’t stupid.

Qiao Sang carefully chose her words, saying:

“I don’t think my current strength can compare to the senior year students.”

Hearing this, Wang Weidou almost choked on the tea he had just sipped.

You weren’t like this at the opening ceremony today!

He had originally given up on the idea, but after seeing that Yan Ling Dog not only had the Fierce Fire characteristic but also knew the advanced skill Mars Rain, the thought of having Qiao Sang defeat Ding Yanjing became active again.

Ding Yanjing was now in his senior year, and if he missed this year’s National Campus Pet Beast League, he would never have another chance to curb his arrogance.

In Wang Weidou’s opinion, Qiao Sang had a chance to defeat Ding Yanjing.

Even if she lost, she could still participate in the National Campus Pet Beast League next year.

With her strength, it wouldn’t be difficult to get first place in the sophomore year, it would just be a year later.

He had originally thought that with Qiao Sang’s high-profile and combative personality shown at the opening ceremony, she would agree without a second thought, but he didn’t expect her to refuse, even if it meant belittling her own strength…

Wang Weidou placed the teacup on the table and asked, “Do you know why I suggested you participate in the senior year competition?”

Qiao Sang shook her head.

“Because I think you have the strength,” Wang Weidou said seriously.

Even if you say that, I won’t go… Qiao Sang humbly said, “Not at all, I’m just a little better than my peers.”

“Students your age wouldn’t evolve a Fire Fang Dog into a completely new evolution, nor would they teach Beginner Pets and intermediate Pets advanced skills,” Wang Weidou said with a smile.

“Just good luck,” Qiao Sang returned with a smile.

So young, yet she feels as difficult to deal with as that Liu Yao fellow… Wang Weidou sighed and said truthfully, “Actually, there’s a very important reason why I want you to participate in this year’s senior year competition.”

Qiao Sang adopted a posture of serious listening.

“You know Li Tan Royal Pet High School, right?” Wang Weidou asked.

Qiao Sang nodded.

“Among Li Tan’s senior students, there’s a guy named Ding Yanjing. He’s not satisfied with just winning; he also wants his opponent to verbally surrender. Otherwise, he’ll repeatedly torment the opponent’s Pet on the field,” Wang Weidou took a sip of tea and continued:

“One of our school’s students encountered him during a competition, and their Pet was tormented, eventually unable to bear the blow, and withdrew from the School Team upon returning.”

“I also see that you have hope of defeating him. If you can defeat him in his last National Campus Pet Beast League, that would naturally be best. Even if you don’t win, with your strength, you can make him realize that our school’s students are not to be trifled with.”

Qiao Sang was stunned. Tormenting Pets? That’s so perverse?

“But if the Pet hasn’t fallen, how can they surrender? If it falls, the referee will announce the winner, so how can he torment the Pet?” Qiao Sang raised her doubts.

Could it be that this Ding Yanjing defeats his opponent, then provides Healing, and repeats this process… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ponder.

Wang Weidou didn’t answer. Instead, he took out his phone, opened a video, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Qiao Sang, saying in a deep voice, “Take a look at this.”

Qiao Sang lowered her head to look at the phone.

A competition was playing on it.

The Stupid and Fond Bear in the picture was entangled in green plants, its body swaying, clearly in poor condition, and then it was knocked unconscious by a green Energy Ball.

Just as the referee was counting down, a Pet with a green body, a round, milky-white cotton ball on its head, and a foxtail grass in its right paw quickly ran to the side of the Stupid and Fond Bear with its short legs.

The camera shifted.

“Do you surrender?” the boy in the Li Tan Royal Pet High School team uniform asked.

The scene cut to the Saint Water Middle School contestant.

Due to her improved memory, even though she had competed against over 200 people today, Qiao Sang recognized the person in the picture as one of them at first glance.

Of course, a very important reason was that this fellow’s behavior of waking up the Stupid and Fond Bear with food was simply too impressive…

Xue Chuhua’s face was dark, and he didn’t speak.

Seeing this, the boy in the Li Tan Royal Pet High School team uniform shouted, “Guwei Bao, wake it up!”

At this moment, the referee’s countdown had not ended. Guwei Bao, hearing its Yu Beast Master’s command, skillfully placed the foxtail grass under the Stupid and Fond Bear’s armpit and tickled it a few times, then quickly moved to tickle the sole of the Stupid and Fond Bear’s foot.

Soon, the Stupid and Fond Bear was tickled awake.

The referee announced that the battle would continue.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Wang Weidou spoke at the opportune moment, “The Pet already has injuries, but he still tickles it. If others don’t surrender, he repeatedly defeats them, wakes them up, and continues. This behavior is nothing short of torture for the Pet.”

Qiao Sang somewhat understood.

Although the scene looked quite amusing, imagine a Pet that has been battling for a long time and faints, only to be forced to laugh itself awake, with its injuries worsening as it struggles and laughs. This is simply a double torment of body and mind.

Wang Weidou revealed a gentle smile: “Now you also know why I want you to participate in this year’s senior year competition. Don’t feel pressured; whether you go or not is your decision. Even if you don’t go, I can understand.”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “Principal, this is a big matter. I need to go back and discuss it with my mom.”

“Good! Good!” Wang Weidou was overjoyed.

In his opinion, if a student’s parents knew that the school principal had made this request to the student, they would definitely agree one hundred percent.

Please, he’s the principal!

First, stabilize the principal by using her mom as an excuse, then say her family doesn’t agree, and the principal won’t make things difficult for her. Perfect… Qiao Sang’s smile deepened a few shades.

…

After leaving the principal’s office, Qiao Sang finally managed to sneak Water Luyana from the fountain into her backpack, only to be surrounded by people.

It was half an hour later when she finally broke free from the crowd and walked out of the school gate.

She had just walked a few steps when she heard the familiar school bell for class, and Qiao Sang’s mood instantly brightened.

Being a member of the School Team had another benefit: no evening self-study!

However, her good mood didn’t last long before another familiar voice came.

“Lulu.”

Qiao Sang was startled and quickly rotated her backpack 180 degrees to the front.

“How did you stick your head out?” Qiao Sang asked in a low voice.

“Lulu?”

Water Luyana’s ears twitched, revealing an embarrassed expression.

Where’s that annoying guy?

Qiao Sang was stunned, then suddenly realized, “Are you asking why we haven’t gotten home yet? I’m starting school today, so I might be a little late getting back from now on.”

Water Luyana: “…”
