Chapter 361: Ye Xiangting is numb (2-in-1)

【99 Changhua Street】

It’s about twelve kilometers from my house.

By the way, should I wear a mask tomorrow when I go there…

Although Qiao Sang had never won a prize before, she had seen how others claimed their prizes online.

Either they wore a mask or even used voice changers, or they let their Pet claim it for them; rarely did people directly expose their true faces.

Protecting one’s privacy was one reason, and avoiding the attention of criminals was another.

Once, a boss in Yanfu City won a grand prize of 2.8 million yuan. This prize wasn’t much for a big boss who owned a company, so he didn’t hide it. Who knew that as soon as he claimed the prize and walked out of the street, tragedy struck.

He was still alive, but his money was gone, and he was bedridden in the hospital for a month.

Qiao Sang felt that her unlimited card was far more attractive than that 2.8 million. If her face was exposed, the chance of being targeted would be very high. It was better to be cautious at such times.

As she thought about it, she shifted her gaze to Xiao Xunbao.

“Xun?”

Xiao Xunbao blinked, feeling her Yu Beast Master’s gaze.

Qiao Sang smiled: “Tomorrow, there’s a big task that needs you to do.”

“Xun!”

Upon hearing it was a big task, Xiao Xunbao immediately patted its chest without a word, indicating no problem.

Being a Yu Beast Master is so good… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but sigh.

Ordinary people who win the lottery can only rely on wearing a mask to hide themselves, but if a Yu Beast Master doesn’t want to expose their identity, they can let their Pet claim the prize.

Although there are many types of Pets, there are quite a few Yu Beast Masters who have contracted the same Pet in the same region.

As long as the procedures are completed, once the prize is claimed, the Yu Beast Master can casually wave their hand in the crowd to recall their Pet, and no one would know who claimed the prize.

However, others still had to consider where to meet up to retrieve the item from their Pet, but she didn’t need to.

Qiao Sang looked at the ring on Xiao Xunbao’s body, very satisfied with her discerning eye when she was at the Pet base.

Just as she was thinking, her mother came out of the kitchen, carrying dishes:

“Dinner’s ready.”

……

At the dinner table.

“Mom, what are you thinking about?” Qiao Sang asked, seeing her mother just eating rice without touching the dishes, looking like her thoughts were elsewhere.

Ye Xiangting, who had been lowering her head to eat, looked up, a smile appearing on her face:

“I’m thinking my daughter is promising.”

Qiao Sang was a bit surprised; she hadn’t expected her mother to praise her so formally.

To be honest, it felt a bit unaccustomed…

“You just found that out?” Qiao Sang chuckled.

Ye Xiangting was silent for a few seconds, then started eating rice again.

Yes, she was promising, and very promising at that.

Not to mention her own surroundings, even in the growth histories of those important figures, she had never seen anyone reach this level at 15 years old.

She knew her family’s situation well.

Most of those important figures came from impressive backgrounds, having excellent environments and resources from a young age, unlike her daughter, who had to think twice and give up even buying a Bubble Bell back then.

Yet, even with such a background, her daughter was already a big step ahead of those people on the path of a Yu Beast Master.

It was precisely because of her daughter’s exceptional talent, and considering the future resource issues, that she resigned from her familiar job and opened a Pet breeding shop.

Originally, she thought the money earned would be enough for her daughter not to worry about resources.

But now, she realized that even opening a Pet breeding shop couldn’t provide her daughter with a very good future.

The higher a Yu Beast Master advanced, the more resources they consumed, and the expenses were astronomical.

For a Yu Beast Master who cultivated a Beginner Pet to High Level at the age of 15, the amount of money needed later was unimaginable.

Ye Xiangting suddenly fell into a state of anxiety.

Her daughter’s talent was truly too good. If she, as a mother, was useless and couldn’t provide her with the necessary resources, causing her not to go far on the path of Yu Beast, Ye Xiangting felt she would never forgive herself.

“By the way, Mom, tomorrow we’ll go look at the shops on Wendan Street,” Qiao Sang said.

Wendan Street, Hanggang City’s most prosperous commercial street, is 1290 meters long and a gathering place for many well-known commercial brands. The annual rent for a 30-square-meter shop alone is as high as 500,000 yuan.

Although this rent seemed high, it was nothing for most brands related to Pets.

“Okay,” Ye Xiangting agreed.

Although she worried about not being able to provide her daughter with good resources in the future, that was only for the future.

For now, her daughter only had one High-level Pet. Whatever she wanted to buy, she should still be able to afford it.

“What do you want to buy?” Ye Xiangting asked.

Qiao Sang took a sip of soup and replied, “I want to buy a shop.”

Ye Xiangting was stunned for a moment: “Buy what?”

Qiao Sang said, “Buy a shop.”

“Buy a shop?!” Ye Xiangting’s voice suddenly became a few shades sharper.

The anxious emotion she had felt instantly vanished.

Ye Xiangting’s mouth twitched fiercely, and she kept chanting inwardly: The child is still young, the child is still young…

When she recovered, she controlled her emotions and said, “We don’t have money at home.”

Qiao Sang said indifferently, “It’s fine, I have money.”

Ye Xiangting: “??? ”

“Where did you get the money?” Ye Xiangting couldn’t help but ask.

“Xiao Xunbao picked up a lottery ticket and won the grand prize,” Qiao Sang said, taking a bite of rice.

Grand prize? Ye Xiangting suddenly looked at Xiao Xunbao, who was eating an Energy Pill beside her.

“Xun~”

Feeling the gaze of her Yu Beast Master’s mother, Xiao Xunbao looked up and scratched its head sheepishly.

It just picked it up casually.

“Is that true or false?” Ye Xiangting turned to her daughter, her voice trembling, wanting to believe but also daring not to, as she asked.

“It’s true.” Qiao Sang put down her chopsticks and said seriously, “It’s an unlimited card with a one-year validity. With this card, we don’t need to rent a shop; we’ll buy one directly. We’ll also look at houses these two days and get a bigger one. Then, Faith Weng won’t have to stay in the yu beast codex all the time, and Fat Home Dove, it’s time for it to evolve.”

After speaking, she told Xiao Xunbao to take out the lottery ticket and show it to her mother.

Ye Xiangting trembled as she took the lottery ticket and opened her phone to search.

30 seconds later, she sat dazed in her chair.

It really was the grand prize… Ye Xiangting subconsciously opened her contacts.

Qiao Sang’s eyelids twitched when she saw this, and she quickly said, “Don’t tell anyone about this.”

Ye Xiangting was silent for a few seconds, then quietly moved her hand away from her phone, her face serious as she said, “Don’t worry, your mother’s lips are sealed!”

Qiao Sang: “…”

……

The next morning, Qiao Sang woke up earlier than usual.

After a quick tidy-up, she headed for the subway.

Half an hour later.

Ten meters away from 99 Changhua Street.

“Have you remembered everything I told you?” Qiao Sang said with a serious expression.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded very seriously.

After their long talk last night, it knew that the happiness of the entire family for the next year was entrusted to its hands!

“Go!” Qiao Sang patted Xiao Xunbao’s head.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao put on a pair of black sunglasses that Yabao wore during its Fire Fang Dog period, turned its head, showed a “I’m fierce, don’t mess with me” expression, and floated towards 99 Changhua Street.

After Xiao Xunbao had been inside for about a minute, Qiao Sang followed and walked in.

……

Yang Yingfei, male, 45 years old, security guard at Hanggang City Lottery Center.

That day, he was leisurely drinking tea and watching the news as usual.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Suddenly, a voice sounded in front of him.

Yang Yingfei looked up. It was a Treasure Hunting Fairy…

Hmm? Where’s its Yu Beast Master?

Yang Yingfei looked around.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao crossed its arms, calling out like a big boss.

There’s no one else, just it coming to register!

It always remembered its Yu Beast Master’s words: register first upon entering!

Ah, another one who won a grand prize and didn’t want to show their face… Yang Yingfei had been a security guard for over ten years, so he was very familiar with this situation. He said:

“Information card or Yu Beast Master badge.”

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao immediately dropped its big boss demeanor and handed over the Yu Beast Master badge it had already held in its paw.

Yang Yingfei tapped a certain spot on the Yu Beast Master badge, and a virtual screen about 5 inches appeared.

For this kind of information verification, there’s usually no need to look carefully; just compare the photo on the Pet’s data page.

But as soon as he saw the Pet’s data, Yang Yingfei froze.

Because the first photo displayed on the Pet’s data was actually an Yan Ling Dog!

So, he looked up more closely at the Yu Beast Master’s information.

A moment later, Yang Yingfei pressed the call button and summoned the Flash Rat, which had the highest rating and strongest reception ability, to come over.

After the Treasure Hunting Fairy and Flash Rat left, he sat dazed in his seat, his mind unable to calm down for a long time.

A Yu Beast Master with three Pets at 15 years old… Such a person actually appeared in their Hanggang City…

“Hello, I’d like to register.” At this moment, a clear, crisp voice of a young girl sounded.

Yang Yingfei looked up, staring blankly at the young girl in front of him.

Seeing that the other party didn’t speak for a long time, Qiao Sang pushed her information card forward again: “I’m registering.”

Yang Yingfei suddenly startled awake, waving his hand and saying, “No need, no need, your Pet already registered just now. You can just go in.”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

He knew already?

So, what was the point of her deliberately entering at a different time than Xiao Xunbao?!

……

Wendan Street.

At ten in the morning, the sun was high, and even during working hours, the street was still bustling with people.

In front of a Pet clothing store.

Ye Xiangting asked with a slightly excited expression, “Did you get it?”

“Of course.” Qiao Sang took out a black-gold card and shook it in her hand with a smile.

“Which bank is this from?” Ye Xiangting’s eyes lit up as she took the black-gold card and looked at it.

“It’s from the Federal Dingshi Bank.” After getting the black-gold card, Qiao Sang had checked online.

There aren’t many banks that can issue unlimited cards, and Federal Dingshi Bank is one of them. The card is made of 23k gold and palladium metal. Palladium metal is a very rare precious metal. It is said that even if the card is melted down, selling the metal can fetch a considerable price.

Federal Dingshi Bank primarily deals with wealthy clients because its cards can be used not only in their own country but also on other planets.

The invitation standards for this black-gold card have always been unknown; Qiao Sang hadn’t found any information online.

“It’s actually Federal Dingshi Bank.” Ye Xiangting gasped, “When I first started working, I wanted to open a savings account at this bank, but they said it required a daily average asset of over 1 million yuan.”

Daily average?

1 million?!

Qiao Sang took a deep breath and decided to change the subject: “Mom, have you picked out a shop?”

“Yes,” Ye Xiangting said, a bit troubled when she brought this up. “But that one isn’t for sale, and the shops that are for sale are too small, even smaller than the one I’m currently running. They’re simply not suitable for opening a Pet breeding shop.”

Qiao Sang asked, “Which one did you fancy?”

Ye Xiangting paused for a moment, then pointed to the right and said, “It’s the one where Ritz Pet Supplies is located.”

Ritz, a high-end Pet supplies brand. Stores with such brand influence are very cautious about their location.

As soon as Qiao Sang heard it, she knew the location was absolutely top-notch.

“Then that’s the one. Let’s go.” With that, Qiao Sang stepped towards the Ritz Pet Supplies store.

“But that shop isn’t for sale!” Ye Xiangting called from behind.

Qiao Sang turned and smiled: “Then we’ll make them willing to sell.”

Ye Xiangting was stunned.

What was with her daughter’s sudden domineering CEO vibe?

……

Soon, Qiao Sang arrived at the Ritz Pet Supplies store.

She glanced at the surrounding environment and nodded secretly.

Having a two-story storefront on a commercial street with expensive rent, the tall curved bay windows gave people a strong urge to enter. Inside, it was estimated to be around 400 square meters, a good storefront!

“Hello, Miss, what can I help you with?” a Staff member asked with a smile nearby.

Ye Xiangting moved her lips but said nothing.

She really didn’t know how to tell the Staff who were renting this shop that she wanted to buy it; she would surely be kicked out…

Qiao Sang asked, “Is the person in charge of this store here?”

The Staff member was stunned for a moment, then asked, “May I ask what you need?”

Qiao Sang said, “I might be buying a lot of things later, so I’d like to communicate with him.”

Upon hearing this, the Staff member immediately beamed and said, “Okay, please wait a moment, I’ll go call him. He’s inside.”

Ye Xiangting silently glanced at her daughter, already thinking about how to comfort her after they were kicked out.

In less than a minute, a man who looked around 30 years old, dressed in a formal suit, walked over with a smile, accompanied by the Staff member.

“Hello, what supplies would you like to buy?” the man asked enthusiastically.

“I want the landlord’s number,” Qiao Sang said straightforwardly.

Is it too direct…

Just let my daughter gain some social experience…

Being a mother is so hard… In a short time, Ye Xiangting sighed three times.

The smile on the man’s face instantly froze. He first glared at the Staff member with his eyes, then turned and politely replied, “I’m sorry, I don’t know the landlord’s number.”

Qiao Sang took out the black-gold card from her pocket and said unhurriedly, “I want everything in your store.”

“Hiss…” The Staff member’s eyes widened instantly.

Holy cow! Isn’t this a scene from a TV show?!

A card from Federal Dingshi Bank, and it’s black-gold… The man stared intently at the black-gold card, his breathing suddenly growing heavy, and his trembling hand reached out to take it.

Just as the man’s hand was about to touch the black-gold card, Qiao Sang suddenly changed the direction of the hand holding the black-gold card: “I want the landlord’s number.”

“I’ll tell you!” The man quickly took out his phone and said, afraid that if he was too slow, the rich person in front of him would change their mind.

Ye Xiangting: “!!!”

Ten minutes later, with all the Staff of Ritz Pet Supplies lining up to see them off, Qiao Sang and Ye Xiangting walked out of the store.

“We will deliver all the items to your designated location as soon as possible!” the man waved excitedly.

Qiao Sang smiled at him, which was an acknowledgment of his service.

“Come again next time!” The man became even more excited.

There won’t be a next time… Qiao Sang walked while dialing the number the man had just given her.

“Hello, are you the landlord of 123 and 124 Wendan Street?”

“It’s like this, I want to buy your shop.”

“Yes, not rent, but buy.”

“Don’t hang up yet, listen to me, how about 30 million?”

“Okay, just contact me using this number. See you tomorrow.”

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Sang turned and smiled: “Mom, the landlord agreed to sell. He said he’ll sign the contract tomorrow.”

Ye Xiangting was numb.
