Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 395: And such good things
Qiao Sang was used to the class quieting down the moment she entered the classroom.
However, this time the atmosphere was a bit different from usual.
As soon as Qiao Sang sat down, she immediately felt that the way the surrounding classmates looked at her was not quite right.
If she had to describe it, it was probably that conflicted feeling of wanting to watch a horror movie but not daring to.
Could it be that Little Qunbao had put on makeup and appeared?
Qiao Sang looked in the direction where Little Qunbao was, only to find that it was still invisible.
At this moment, the person in front of her turned around and said, “Qiao Sang, congratulations on winning the championship.”
After speaking, she added, “Especially the Liao Xing Hound match, I watched it, it was super cool!”
Although the person in front of her looked no different from usual, a slight tension could still be seen.
It seemed that the match where she used Ya! to instantly defeat Ding Yanjing had stimulated them… Qiao Sang was not truly 15 years old after all, so she could understand the psychology of adolescents during puberty.
Most adolescents during puberty are both fragile and sensitive, and when someone they absolutely cannot compare to suddenly appears beside them, they dare not approach them anymore.
Of course, there are still some who will choose to approach, as long as the signal they send out is reciprocated.
Just like the person in front of her now.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “I’m not the champion, I just got first place in the province.”
The person in front: “???”
Listen! Is that even a human thing to say?!
Qiao Sang continued, “By the way, can you lend me your recent notes? You know, I haven’t been to class lately, and I’m afraid I’ll fall behind.”
It’s actually simple to eliminate this kind of psychology in adolescents during puberty, as long as you subtly show that you are actually no different from them.
The person in front of her was stunned for a moment: “I never take notes.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
Oh, she almost forgot that a genius student doesn’t need notes…
News of Qiao Sang at school quickly spread.
During each class, students from other classes no longer directly and openly peered through the windows as before, but instead occasionally pretended to walk by the door of Class One, then casually glanced inside.
Qiao Sang sat in the classroom chatting idly with Jin Feifan.
“Sigh, the gap between us is so big. I didn’t even make it into the top 30, but you got first place, and in the third year of high school section at that,” Jin Feifan lamented.
Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched: “Put down your perfect score test paper before talking to me.”
“It’s just a mock exam,” Jin Feifan mumbled as she put the test paper into her drawer, “Current exams don’t count for anything anyway.”
Did you forget that you went to a competition a while ago?! You haven’t even been to class and you got a perfect score, and then you tell me it doesn’t count for anything? Qiao Sang glanced at her and said:
“My first place doesn’t count for anything either; it’s just a provincial competition.”
Jin Feifan: “…”
At this moment, Qiao Sang asked, “Who from the first-year School Team made it to the divisional competition?”
Jin Feifan was already used to the big shot desk mate not checking the first-year School Team group, so she whispered, “Lu You made it, he got second place.”
Qiao Sang turned to look at Lu You’s seat, only to find it empty.
Jin Feifan continued, “And Zheng Yining from the Individual Coordination Group, she was third.”
Qiao Sang wasn’t very familiar with most of the people in the first-year School Team, but Zheng Yining was one of the ones she knew, and she quickly recalled Zheng Yining’s Pet.
Her judgment seemed to be correct; the Long-eared Cat was indeed very suitable for coordination matches.
…
Classes were boring, tedious, and long, but if she only attended occasionally and listened to some knowledge about Pets, Qiao Sang felt that time passed too quickly.
The sky gradually darkened, and it was soon time for school to end.
As soon as Qiao Sang exited the school gate, she summoned Ya!.
“Ya!”
Ya!’s eyes glowed blue, and it glanced at the bracelet on its front left paw.
The switch on the bracelet was pressed down by a force, and Ya! instantly returned to its original size.
Qiao Sang flipped onto Ya!’s back and said with a smile, “Let’s go home.”
“Ya!”
Ya! barked once and ran towards the sky.
This scene attracted shocked stares from passersby. Only when Ya! was in the sky did everyone remember to pull out their phones to film, but unfortunately, by the time they opened their cameras, no figures could be seen in the sky.
…
After dinner in the evening, she returned to her room and tidied up her things in advance. Qiao Sang leaned against the headboard of her bed, scrolling through information about Pets from other regions on her phone.
The Pets from Ancient Mist, Lianke, and Xi Lv regions were very interesting.
Although the attributes of Pets were all those few types, there were many characteristics that were not found in the Yuhua region.
Like the Illusory Grass from the Lianke region, which possesses the Illusory characteristic and can detect truth and lies.
You just need to place your hand on its leaf and say something.
If it’s the truth, there’s no change, but if it’s a lie, it will slowly close its leaves.
Many people would rent an Illusory Grass on their wedding day to verify their love.
When the wedding vows reached “Do you take him/her to be your lawfully wedded husband/wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part…” and so on, the Illusory Grass would almost certainly close its leaves.
This also led to the Lianke region having the lowest marriage and birth rates in the entire country every year.
“Actually, it’s quite good for the four regions to compete together; we can see more Pets from other regions.”
Just as this thought flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind, a new message popped up at the top of her phone screen:
[Xu Yixuan invited you to join a group chat]
Qiao Sang clicked in. The newly added group was named “Yuhua Just Do It Team,” with 32 members.
The next second, another person joined, and the members became 33.
[Cheng Jinhao sent a red packet]
[Cheng Jinhao: New members, please change your names]
Qiao Sang instinctively tried to grab it, but found that all had already been claimed.
Huh? Are everyone in this group so fast?… Qiao Sang silently changed her name.
[Dan Huaiyang: When we get to the Ancient Mist region, I want to go see the underwater ruins. Will anyone be joining me then?]
[Xu Yixuan: @Qiao Sang, this is the group for Yuhua region contestants]
11 provinces in Yuhua region, 33 people, it seems everyone is here… Qiao Sang sent a “Hello everyone” emoji.
Originally, everyone was just grabbing red packets and not speaking, but as soon as Qiao Sang appeared, everyone started popping up.
[Jin Wei: Qiao Sang? Is that Qiao Sang from Zhehai Province?!]
[Song Baowen: Nonsense, it must be her. There’s no one else named Qiao Sang going to the divisional competition, right?]
[Xu Yixuan: It’s her, it’s her, it’s her]
[Jiang Xiaotian: Suddenly feel the importance of this group]
[Chen Yunru: Ahhh! Little Sister Qiao! When we get to the Ancient Mist region, can you let me take a photo with Liao Xing Hound! In return, I can give you all the information I’ve collected on other regional contestants for the divisional competition!]
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then “sold” Ya! without a second thought:
[@Chen Yunru, okay]
As soon as Qiao Sang sent this message, everyone in the group was instantly tempted.
[Dan Huaiyang: I also have information on other regional contestants! I’ll give it to you! Let Ice Dew Qiya take a photo with me!]
[Li Yue: I don’t know about others, but the information I’ve collected is 99% complete. I want to try Ice Dew Qiya’s Healing Light, you know.]
[Jin Wei: Me, me, me! I also collected information! Just let me add you!]
Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds, looking at the constantly appearing new messages.
She didn’t expect such a good thing…
