Chapter 249: What are you waiting for!

An Interstellar Exchange Student?!

Qiao Sang’s expression froze, and she stood rooted to the spot, looking utterly dumbfounded.

Research vessels, space pirates, space architecture, interstellar Pets—a series of interstellar elements she’d seen on TV news kept flashing through her mind.

Not to mention the entire interstellar space, but even considering the other three habitable planets that humanity had already migrated to, Dragon Country was just too small.

Dragon Country had 13 regions, and the Yuhua Region, where she was located, had 11 provinces, while Hanggang City was just one of 12 prefecture-level cities in Zhehai Province.

It sounded like Dragon Country was quite large.

But in reality, Dragon Country was just one of hundreds of countries on Blue Star.

Although there were now very mature methods for space tourism, its exorbitant price meant that space tourism was still only for billionaires.

This was also one of the reasons Qiao Sang initially wanted to participate in the Interstellar Cup.

As long as she was selected for the Interstellar Cup, she could visit other planets with all food, lodging, and travel expenses covered.

Having finally transmigrated to a world with an interstellar background, who would want to stay on just one planet?

What Qiao Sang hadn’t expected was that she hadn’t even left her province yet, and now she had the chance to go to another planet!

It would be an unforgivable sin not to seize such an opportunity!

Liu Yao watched Qiao Sang’s expression change repeatedly, finally reddening with excitement, and couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

Well, it was already said.

Even if Qiao Sang met the requirements to participate in the third-year high school competition and lost in the end, he would just have to wait one more session.

If Qiao Sang won first place in the entire province next year, he could still go back to his research.

Thinking of this, Liu Yao’s regret vanished, and he said with a smile, “Every year, the country has several Interstellar Exchange Student slots, but these slots are not easy to obtain.”

“This year, our Interstellar Cup ranking wasn’t high, so the exchange student slots also changed from five to three.”

Qiao Sang came back to her senses and asked in surprise, “The Interstellar Cup ranking is also linked to the exchange student slots?”

“Do you think exchange student resources are that easy to come by? Interstellar resources are earned by our country’s own efforts,” Liu Yao said calmly. “The strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker; this is a law.”

“But don’t think three slots are few; some countries don’t even have one. Most Interstellar Exchange Student slots are actually selected from university students; it’s already good for high school students to have three.”

“Then what do I need to do to get this slot?” Qiao Sang asked.

Liu Yao smiled: “Generally speaking, Interstellar Exchange Students are selected from high school sophomores and seniors across the country, chosen from students with good academic performance and those with good Pet Beast talent. You definitely belong to the latter.”

Qiao Sang: “.”

You didn’t have to say that last part, Qiao Sang complained inwardly. She really wanted to argue, but thinking of her current situation in class, she felt embarrassed.

Liu Yao continued, “Among these types of students, the country basically selects from the National Campus Pet Beast League. A provincial-level champion in a grade is certainly impressive, but it’s not enough on a national scale. Just the Yuhua Region alone has 11 provinces, not to mention the champions for various grade levels.”

“Even if you make it to the final national competition in the first-year high school division, with limited slots, the country will still prioritize second-year and third-year high school students.”

At this point, Liu Yao straightened his back a bit more, staring intently at Qiao Sang, and said seriously:

“But you’re different. Your yu beast codex has a third page. In my impression, I’ve never heard of any 15-year-old child being able to develop their brain region to this extent.”

Qiao Sang listened silently, thinking, Am I really that amazing?

“For the second-year high school competition, if you don’t win the national championship in the end, you probably still won’t have a chance. But if you participate in the third-year high school competition, and rely on your own strength to enter the regional competition, plus your three-page yu beast codex, you will definitely enter the country’s sights. At that time, you have a very high chance of getting this exchange student slot,” Liu Yao said.

He wasn’t entirely without confidence that Qiao Sang would get an Interstellar Exchange Student slot in the future.

But there were only three slots now, and he didn’t know how many of these slots would be allocated to students with good Pet Beast talent in the coming years.

If it was only one, they would definitely consider third-year high school students, which would mean Qiao Sang would at least have to wait until her third year to have this opportunity.

A 15-year-old with three pages in their yu beast codex is completely different from a 17-year-old who has only just developed the third page in their yu beast codex.

Ultimately, he couldn’t bear to let such a talented child waste so much time in a small place like Hanggang City.

Although Hanggang City was a provincial capital, it was pitifully small compared to the outside world.

After listening for a long time, Qiao Sang finally understood.

She had to participate in the third-year high school group’s competition and make it to the regional competition to have a chance at this slot.

In other words, this slot was not 100% guaranteed to fall to her.

“Do you understand?” Liu Yao asked.

“I understand,” Qiao Sang said seriously. “Entering the third-year high school group’s regional competition isn’t safe enough. I need to get into the finals and win the championship to ensure this slot is absolutely mine!”

Liu Yao: “???”

As soon as she left school, Qiao Sang went straight to the Pet training institution she had visited last time.

“Boss, please make a month’s worth of Energy Pills according to this,” Qiao Sang placed the cultivation plan in front of the man.

Many people bought Energy Pills, but not many customized them according to a specific formula.

The young woman in front of him, as a wealthy regular customer, the man decisively dropped his cards that were about to win and enthusiastically greeted her.

The two Sand Burrowing Rats sitting at the table exchanged glances tacitly and secretly swapped their cards with each other.

It was 6:43 PM when Qiao Sang returned home.

Living room.

Qiao Sang looked at her three Pets and said seriously, “The plan has changed. We need to work hard for the next month. In a month, we will compete against opponents who have two more years of training time than us!”

Qiao Sang had absolute confidence in her ability to participate in the third-year high school competition at that time.

The evolution of Little Treasure Hunting Ghost itself was a matter of these few days.

And even if Water Luyana hadn’t been heartbroken, according to its current yu beast codex level data, it would naturally evolve within a month with the blessing of the Gold Finger.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao wagged its tail, its eyes lit up, and it nodded with an excited expression.

It loved competitions the most!

“Lu Lu!” Water Luyana glanced at Ya Bao and quickly nodded along.

“Xun”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost responded a bit absentmindedly.

Competitions? Could they have Gold Gloves? It still preferred the Chop that was going to be competed bare-handed in a while.

Qiao Sang immediately saw Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s state, her mind whirred, and she smiled, “Didn’t you used to watch the stars in the sky every night? If we win, we might have a chance to see them up close in space.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost first showed a dazed expression, then quickly floated towards the courtyard.

What are we waiting for?! Let’s train!
