Chapter 300: Ways to make money

Zhang Junli, a member of the individual combat group of Sansong High School’s third-year School Team, was the one with the spiky hair.

Before every competition, he would gather intelligence on other schools.

Adhering to the principle that money makes the world go round, the intelligence he gathered successfully helped him achieve good results in the previous and the one before previous National Campus Leagues.

“You said you don’t even know what she looks like, and her phone, according to you, can’t be used for the next two days. What if you can’t recognize her then?” the boy wearing a baseball cap asked.

“Don’t worry,” Zhang Junli said with a cheerful laugh. “I’ve already set up a secret signal with her in advance. Besides, Saint Water Middle School usually doesn’t allow students to come out. At this time, if someone comes out from inside, who else could it be but her?”

“That’s good.” The boy in the baseball cap finally felt a little relieved after asking for a long time.

Just then, the bell for the end of class at Saint Water Middle School reached outside the school gate.

Zhang Junli looked at the time on his watch and said, “They’re out of class. She’ll be out in a bit.”

Ten minutes later.

No movement at the school gate.

“Wait a little longer,” Zhang Junli said calmly.

The boy wearing the baseball cap didn’t speak.

Fifteen minutes later, a gust of wind blew, kicking up dust from the ground.

Still no movement at the school gate.

Let alone people, not even an ant crawled out from inside.

“Wait a little longer! She’s definitely coming out soon!” Zhang Junli gritted his teeth.

The boy wearing the baseball cap looked at the sky, patted Zhang Junli’s shoulder, and asked, “Hey, do you think it’s going to rain soon?”

Zhang Junli looked up at the sky and said, “How could that be? The weather forecast said no rain today.”

“Is the weather forecast inaccurate?” The boy wearing the baseball cap pointed at a medium-sized Pet flying in the air, worriedly saying, “Look at that Horizontal Bird. Its wings aren’t even moving.”

It’s common knowledge in high school that Horizontal Birds don’t like to flap their wings when it’s about to rain, but instead glide on air currents.

“Where is it?” Zhang Junli looked around.

Just as he momentarily shifted his gaze, Qiao Sang arrived at the Saint Water Middle School gate riding Yabao.

Ever since she contracted Lubao, Qiao Sang’s perception of the weather had become much sharper. She looked up at the sky and said, “Yabao, it looks like it’s going to rain soon. Do you want to go into the yu beast codex first?”

“Ya.”

Yabao nodded, indicating no problem.

Seeing Yabao agree, Qiao Sang waved her hand and put Yabao away.

Just as she was about to enter the school gate, a hushed voice calling from behind came: “Why did you just come out! We’ve been waiting for ages!”

Qiao Sang turned around and saw two unfamiliar boys. Before she could ask who they were, the spiky-haired boy among them quickly came over and said excitedly:

“Who is Lin Ya!”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and subconsciously replied, “A god-like man.”

“That’s right! The secret signal matches! It’s her!” Zhang Junli turned to the boy wearing the baseball cap and said excitedly.

The boy wearing the baseball cap also could not hide his excitement.

The two of them looked over with fervent gazes.

Setting up a secret signal was one thing, but making it so simple… Qiao Sang thought for a moment and realized these two people had mistaken her for someone else. While complaining, she prepared to explain: “You guys…”

Just then, Zhang Junli pulled out a blue dew crystal from his pocket and said, “I brought the item. Where’s your intelligence?”

Qiao Sang’s eyes narrowed, and she swallowed her words, information about the dark blue crystal flashing through her mind.

blue dew crystal, a material specifically for Water-type Pets.

There are thousands upon thousands of Pets, and even the most skilled Pet forging masters and Trainers cannot recognize all the materials related to Pets in the world.

It was even more impossible for a poor student like Qiao Sang.

But there are always some materials that are deeply memorable.

For example, blue dew crystal.

In addition to being a special product of the Yuhua region, it also has a bizarre origin story.

blue dew crystal is not a natural mineral crystal, but is formed from the eyes of a King-level Pet, the Early Ring Snail, after decades or even hundreds of years in ultra-low temperature and ultra-high pressure environments.

The reason it’s called bizarre is that another condition must be added.

That is, the Early Ring Snail capable of forming blue dew crystal must be nearsighted, and severely so, with anything less than 600 degrees of myopia being insufficient.

In addition, blue dew crystal has another memorable point.

Although it is formed from the eyes of a nearsighted Early Ring Snail, the potion refined from it can improve the vision of Water-type Pets, making distant objects appear as clear as if an 8x scope were installed.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but think to herself, these two don’t seem to know the person they’re supposed to meet…

If she wasn’t mistaken, the person they were waiting for should be a student from Saint Water Middle School. These two didn’t seem to doubt the gender or age, either they didn’t know these details, or it was just a coincidence that she ran into them.

And students who attend Saint Water Middle School are almost all boarders, usually having no opportunity to go out, so most of what they know is information from within the school.

In just a few seconds, Qiao Sang had already brainstormed for a long time.

“Why aren’t you speaking?” Zhang Junli asked.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then said, “What intelligence do you want?”

“Just that new member of the third-year School Team!” Zhang Junli said, “I want detailed information about this person!”

Qiao Sang: “???”

So after all this, the intelligence you want to know is about me?

“You guys have come to the right person,” Qiao Sang said sincerely. “No one knows her better than I do!”

“I told you we found the right person!” Zhang Junli turned to the boy wearing the baseball cap and showed off, then looked at Qiao Sang and said, “Tell me quickly, the more detailed the better!”

“Her name is Qiao Sang, 15 years old, female, in Class (1) of the first year of high school.” Qiao Sang said seriously, “She’s outstanding in appearance, diligent and eager to learn, positive and upward-looking. She has a Yan Ling Dog and a Qunbao. Some time ago, she also contracted a Pet. Some people witnessed it was blue, most likely a Water-type Pet.”

“Hiss…” Zhang Junli gasped, his eyes wide with disbelief as he asked, “Yan Ling Dog?! Qunbao?! And another Pet?! Three in total?! 15 years old?! First-year high school?! Are you sure?!”

“Positive.” Qiao Sang put her hand to her mouth and lowered her voice, saying:

“That last piece of news is circulating in the school, but few people have confirmed it’s true. However, I can guarantee you, it’s real. I’ve never told anyone this news before, so you’re getting an exclusive.”

After speaking, Qiao Sang stared at the blue dew crystal in his hand.

Zhang Junli instantly understood. He handed over the blue dew crystal and said solemnly, “If what you say is true, then you’ve really helped me a great deal!”

Qiao Sang took the blue dew crystal, smiling with utmost sincerity: “Oh, it’s nothing, it’s what I should do. Next time you want to know anything, remember to come find me again.”

“Definitely!” Zhang Junli patted his chest and guaranteed.

The boy wearing the baseball cap had a strange expression.

He had always seen others selling intelligence like secret agents meeting, and had never seen a student from any school betraying their own school’s intelligence while smiling so happily.

After the two left, Qiao Sang weighed the blue dew crystal in her hand and pondered for a while.

She seemed to have found a way to make money…
