Chapter 424: Underwater wild pet exchange activities

Qiao Sang directly advanced to the National Competition as the top seed in her group.

When this news reached Hanggang City, almost everyone who knew the scale of the National Campus Pet Beast League went wild.

Someone from their city directly advanced to the National Competition?

And it was a first-year high school student, only 15 years old, who competed in the third-year high school group?!

Suddenly, Qiao Sang’s growth story was thoroughly dug up.

…

A certain residential area.

A middle-aged woman sat on the sofa, holding an exam paper, her hands trembling with anger.

“How did you take this exam! Junior high school entrance exams are next semester, how are you going to get into a regular high school with these grades!” the middle-aged woman scolded furiously.

“Mom, what era is it now? What do grades count for? As long as I awaken on my own, I won’t have to worry about not getting into a school,” a bespectacled boy stood by the sofa, craning his neck as he spoke.

The middle-aged woman was so angry she laughed: “You, awaken on your own?”

The boy became displeased upon hearing this:

“You know Qiao Sang, right? The genius who directly advanced to the National Competition as the top seed in the regional competition. She’s just like me; in junior high, she was always among the bottom three in her class. Later, she awakened on her own and got into Saint Water Middle School.”

The boy suddenly thought of something as he spoke, and excitedly said:

“Oh right, Mom, after my brain domain awakens, I want to form a contract with a Fire Fang Dog, just like Qiao Sang!”

The middle-aged woman snorted: “A Fire Fang Dog, and like Qiao Sang? How many people like that are there? What do you have to compare yourself to her?”

The boy retorted unhappily: “No one talks about their son like that.”

“If you don’t want me to talk to you like that, then why aren’t you hurrying up and studying to improve your grades! What are you doing staying here!” the middle-aged woman suddenly raised her voice.

Didn’t you call me over to lecture me… the boy grumbled inwardly as he returned to his room.

After the boy left, the middle-aged woman showed a thoughtful expression, then picked up her phone and searched online for the price of a Fire Fang Dog.

There were quite a few families like this, discussing Qiao Sang and wanting to contract a Fire Fang Dog.

For a time, the business of Yazai Pet Beast Breeding Shop was exceptionally booming.

This caused Ye Xiangting to not even have time to call and chat with her friends and family.

…

Hai City.

Deep Sea Mantis Hotel.

After dinner, Qiao Sang lay on the bed, searching for fun places in Ancient Mist, occasionally replying to messages from others.

After confirming her direct advancement to the National Competition, she had a week of rest.

During this week, the remaining 32 qualifiers would be determined, and only then would the top eight ranking battles begin.

Since she had finally come to Ancient Mist and had free time, of course, she had to visit some fun places.

Work-life balance was the right approach.

“Underwater Ancient City is good. You can see relics, and maybe even find fossils of ancient Pets.”

“Underwater Arena City is also good, suitable for Ya Bao and the others to play.”

“Underwater Museum? Forget that one.”

Qiao Sang looked at the netizens’ recommendations, sifting through them one by one.

At this moment, her phone vibrated.

The caller ID showed “Professor Jiang.”

“Hello, Professor Jiang.” Qiao Sang answered the call.

“Tomorrow, Hai City has an event for interacting with underwater wild Pets. Do you want to participate?” Jiang Xiu asked directly.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “An event for interacting with underwater wild Pets?”

Jiang Xiu hummed in affirmation and replied:

“It’s a bit different here from the Yuhua region. There are wild Pets everywhere underwater. To make the wild Pets familiar with us and prevent them from suddenly attacking when they see us underwater, we hold an underwater wild Pet interaction event every three months.”

“Some water areas are safe, and some are not. Safe water areas mean that the Water-type wild Pets in that region will not casually attack humans.”

“Unsafe areas mean that the Water-type wild Pets in that region are not yet familiar with our presence and could attack at any time.”

“And where we are going is a water area that is not yet fully guaranteed to be safe.”

“Participants in the event must have a General-level Water-type Pet. If they don’t have a General-level Water-type Pet, then they must be accompanied by a Yu Beast Master with a King-level Water-type Pet.”

“Do you want to go? Water areas that haven’t been marked as safe mean that the things in that area are still there. You might be able to pick up some good things.”

I’m someone with an unlimited card for a year now, why would I care about good things…? Qiao Sang readily agreed: “I’m going!”

…

Underwater, on a super-large, bubble-encased Water-type Pet, Pei Shipan, dressed in a black suit, asked:

“Will this work?”

“I don’t know either,” Jiang Xiu said. “It was Old Xu’s idea.”

Pei Shipan was speechless for a long time.

The Old Xu that Jiang Xiu mentioned was one of the members who organized the underwater wild Pet interaction event.

The underwater wild Pet interaction event had actually just ended last month; there wasn’t one this month. But a group of people had gone to great lengths to come up with ideas to make Qiao Sang consider staying in Ancient Mist in the future.

The underwater wild Pet interaction event was actually meant for Qiao Sang to experience the underwater wonders and then let her pick up a bunch of good things.

If she was unlucky and couldn’t find anything, they would secretly drop good things for her to pick up.

According to Old Xu, no one would refuse an underwater world where treasures were everywhere.

…

Early the next morning, Qiao Sang got out of bed early.

She changed her clothes, hugged Ya Bao, and with Xiao Xunbao on her head, walked to the hotel lobby.

Jiang Xiu was already waiting on the sofa in the hotel lobby’s reception area.

Unlike usual, he was carrying a very large black backpack.

Qiao Sang exclaimed in shock: “Professor Jiang, do you need to bring so many things?”

Jiang Xiu smiled: “Just in case.”

“Why don’t you put it in Xiao Xunbao’s ring? That way it’ll be lighter,” Qiao Sang suggested.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao heard her Yu Beast Master’s words, placed her paw on the ring, and was about to take it off.

Jiang Xiu quickly refused:

“No, no, it’s not heavy at all.”

What a joke! If it were in Treasure Hunting Fairy’s ring, how would he throw treasures later?

…

In a certain underwater area, dozens of medium to large Water-type Pets gathered, all encased in bubbles, with people sitting inside.

After Jiang Xiu brought Qiao Sang over, sitting on a Sea Salt Lizard, one of the men wearing a camel-colored overcoat’s eyes lit up, and he said:

“Everyone’s here. Let’s depart now.”

Dozens of Water-type Pets moved in unison towards a certain direction.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao lay on the inner wall of the bubble, excitedly looking at the underwater world.

“Ya…”

Ya Bao, held in Qiao Sang’s arms, felt a bit tense.

Although she no longer hated water as much, being surrounded by water so closely from all directions still felt a bit unaccustomed.

Qiao Sang noticed Ya Bao’s state and asked:

“Do you want to go back to the yu beast codex?”

“Yaya.”

Ya Bao shook her head.

She had already learned that things she wasn’t used to had to be overcome, like Ghost-type extraordinary creatures, like water, only then could she become stronger.

Ya Bao has grown up too… Qiao Sang sighed with emotion internally.

Dozens of medium to large Pets majestically swam towards the deep sea area.
