Chapter 248: Exchange students

Water Luyana is less than one year old?

Qiao Sang’s mind was a little dazed.

Isn’t it already seven years old and almost ready to be hung on the wall? How could it suddenly revert to its youth and become a young Pet?

Qiao Sang showed a surprised and bewildered expression: “But Water Luyana told me it was already seven years old, how could that be…”

It wasn’t that she didn’t believe the Vice Principal’s judgment, but when it came to age, who would know better than the Pet itself? It’s not like Water Luyana would be so bored as to make herself sound older, it’s not like Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

Liu Yao hadn’t answered yet when Water Luyana became unhappy.

“Lulu!”

“Lulu!”

Water Luyana first looked at Qiao Sang in a daze, then argued vehemently.

It had never said it was seven years old!

Never!

Qiao Sang froze for a moment: “Didn’t you extend seven claws and gesture last time?”

“Lulu!”

“Lulu!”

Water Luyana angrily extended its seven short toes and cried out twice.

It meant seven months!

Seven months!

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a long time and couldn’t speak, she really wanted to blurt out a certain plant.

But now in the Vice Principal’s office, she restrained herself.

It turned out that what Water Luyana gestured last time was seven months, not seven years!

What a huge misunderstanding!

Seven months and seven years are completely different, okay!

One is still a budding flower, the other is almost withered.

As a Trainer with excellent observation skills, hearing Qiao Sang’s words, her current dazed expression, and Water Luyana’s expression, there was nothing Liu Yao couldn’t guess.

He smiled and said, “So you didn’t even know your Pet’s true age before.”

Qiao Sang came back to her senses, scratched her head, and said apologetically: “I only contracted Water Luyana yesterday. When I communicated with it before, I couldn’t understand what it was saying, so I could only guess.”

“Lulu!”

Water Luyana proudly turned its head, indicating that it was very unhappy now.

At such a prime age, she actually guessed it to be so old!

“I was wrong, I’ll let Yabao take you for a flight in the sky later.” Qiao Sang decisively sold Yabao out.

“Lulu…”

Water Luyana’s tail unconsciously wagged, and it proudly turned its head back.

Liu Yao looked at Qiao Sang in surprise and said, “I think you have great potential to be a Trainer.”

“Maybe.” Qiao Sang shamelessly accepted the compliment.

Liu Yao petted Water Luyana for a while longer, then said with a reluctant expression, “You should recall it first.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Sang nodded without asking, and with a wave of her right hand, Water Luyana disappeared from its spot.

Liu Yao sat back in his chair and said with some envy: “I’ve lived for so long and have rarely seen endangered Pets, let alone contracted one. Nowadays, almost all endangered Pets are protected by the Alliance. The last time I saw one was for a research project, and it took several procedures to see it. I didn’t expect you to have such luck to contract one.”

Who wouldn’t agree? Qiao Sang also felt that she had been incredibly lucky.

In her previous life, there were still over 1,800 pandas as national treasures, but Water Luyana was even rarer than pandas, with fewer than 100. If more people knew about it besides her, she wouldn’t have had the chance to contract it.

Fortunately, the only person who knew Water Luyana’s whereabouts wasn’t as strong as her.

But to be honest, she still had to thank that person. If he hadn’t pursued so closely, Water Luyana probably wouldn’t have come from the Ancient Mist region to the Yuhua region.

Let alone run into her.

“I also think I’m quite lucky.” Qiao Sang nodded in deep agreement.

Liu Yao glanced at her: “But then again, you probably don’t know how Water Luyana can evolve, do you?”

“I’ve learned about it online.” Qiao Sang said, “Water Luyana must first experience heartbreak, and then during that heartbreak, in a rainy environment, it must use the emotional power generated within its heart to promote evolution.”

Liu Yao was surprised: “I didn’t expect you to know that. I thought these things couldn’t be found online.”

Qiao Sang smiled: “Good luck, I happened to meet a netizen who understood Water Luyana.”

“Since you know the evolution conditions of Water Luyana, you should also understand how harsh these conditions are. If Water Luyana wasn’t so difficult to fall in love with other Pets, its numbers wouldn’t be so small.” Liu Yao sighed.

Qiao Sang chuckled twice: “Hehe, my Water Luyana already has someone it likes.”

Liu Yao was stunned: “Are you sure?”

“Certain.” Qiao Sang nodded.

“That’s good then…” Liu Yao murmured.

He was genuinely a little envious. A Water Luyana that was confirmed to be able to evolve was completely different from a Water Luyana that could only be treasured but couldn’t evolve.

Liu Yao composed himself and said, “Since Water Luyana has someone it likes, it’s easier to handle. What you need to do now, besides having a Pet that can perform Rain Prayer nearby, is to make Water Luyana as heartbroken as possible on the day of its heartbreak.”

Qiao Sang froze for a moment: “Why?”

She could understand having a Pet that could perform Rain Prayer nearby, but why should the heartbreak be as painful as possible?

Liu Yao explained: “Water Luyana mainly evolves by relying on internal emotional fluctuations. Water Luyana generally don’t have a strong desire to win, but after evolving, there will be obvious differences.”

“Researchers have found that Water Luyana with more tragic heartbreaks will be much stronger than ordinary heartbroken Water Luyana, both in terms of energy value and other aspects, after evolution.”

“In other words, the stronger the emotional fluctuation during heartbreak, the stronger Water Luyana will be after evolution.”

This is too tragic… Qiao Sang couldn’t bear to say, “Since Water Luyana evolves by relying on internal emotional fluctuations, what about being in love? Does that not work?”

Liu Yao shook his head: “Someone once proposed this idea and researched it, but found it didn’t work.”

Too tragic, Qiao Sang sighed again in her heart, then suddenly thought of something, hesitated for two seconds, and tentatively asked:

“Assuming Water Luyana doesn’t need to rely on emotional power, but can evolve using energy materials like Water Stone, will it be less strong after evolution than a Water Luyana that evolved using emotional power?”

Liu Yao thought for a moment and said, “First, your assumption doesn’t exist. Secondly, if it could truly evolve by relying on energy materials, then the evolved Ice Dew Qiya would most likely not be as strong as a Water Luyana that evolved through emotional power.”

“Isn’t there a saying online, ‘The wise do not fall in love, the heartless will surely succeed.’ For Water Luyana, it means ’the heartless will surely become stronger.’”

“Water Luyana will only be stimulated to want to become stronger after experiencing heartbreak. As I said, Water Luyana will show obvious differences after evolution.”

It seems I can’t rely on Point, only Yabao. Qiao Sang nodded and said, “I understand.”

After chatting for a while, Liu Yao wrote down the Energy Pill formula for Water Luyana and handed it over.

Qiao Sang took it, said goodbye, and was about to turn and leave.

At this moment, Liu Yao suddenly called out, “Wait.”

Qiao Sang stopped and turned to look at the Vice Principal.

Liu Yao sighed heavily.

To be honest, he regretted calling out to Qiao Sang, but when he thought of Qiao Sang’s talent and her Pet, he felt that he couldn’t let his personal desires bury her potential.

Liu Yao was silent for a long time, then said, “If your Treasure Hunting Ghost or Water Luyana can evolve into an intermediate Pet in the next month, then you should participate in the National Campus Pet Beast League for the third-year high school section.”

Qiao Sang froze for a moment: “Didn’t you tell me not to participate in the third-year high school competition last time?”

They say women are fickle, but men don’t seem to be much different.

Liu Yao straightened his back slightly and said seriously, “If your yu beast codex didn’t have a third page, I would never have asked you to participate, but it’s different now. Now you might have a chance to get an Interstellar Exchange Student spot.”

“Interstellar Exchange Student?” Qiao Sang was startled upon hearing this.

Liu Yao looked at Qiao Sang and said word by word, “To be precise, it’s an Interstellar Exchange Student.”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”
