Chapter 497: Pseudo Beast Master (2-in-1)

Super Dormant Star, the first planet developed and colonized by humanity.

Planets are easy to find, but those suitable for human habitation are few.

Even if found, there are other alien life forms on them. It’s not easy to communicate, interact, and establish connections with alien life, and even if a way to communicate is found, there’s no guarantee that the alien civilization encountered will be “civilized.”

So, when Super Dormant Star was confirmed as a habitable planet, all nations on Blue Star united as never before, forming the Interstellar Beast Tamer Alliance to ensure the overall interests of humanity.

Under a unified consensus, the first batch of human immigrants to Super Dormant Star were meticulously selected from various countries across the globe.

Due to contact with different civilizations, humans no longer held the previous “skin color theory,” and nations were able to unite more closely.

As time passed, a significant number of descendants of the first human immigrants to Super Dormant Star found partners from different countries, and people of various skin colors increasingly lived together on the same land.

Humans on Super Dormant Star can be said to be the people who least value nationalism, but rather prioritize humanism.

They firmly believe that regardless of hair color or skin color, everyone is primarily human.

Conversely, their attitude towards Pets is polarized.

The vast majority of people on Super Dormant Star believe that Pets and humans are different races and must be suppressed with absolute power, otherwise, a slight oversight could lead to a backlash, causing them to suffer the consequences.

Therefore, people on Super Dormant Star are also the most stringent when it comes to Pets.

Whether Pets are tired or not is unimportant; power is paramount—this is a saying that represents the attitude of most people on Super Dormant Star.

It is also because of their attitude that things like bond evolution are almost like legends to them.

As long as she could go to another planet, it didn’t matter which one to Qiao Sang, it’s just…

Qiao Sang stared blankly at a particular line on the form for a long time: “I have to go next semester?”

Wang Weidou thought his “precious gem” felt the time was too short and comforted her, “The country will handle all the procedures for you. You just need to wait for the notification and pack your things when the time comes.”

“As for the notification, you’ll receive it in a few days. After all, we need to ensure you’re at school for classes next semester, so you need to leave early. Going to another planet is not like going to another country; it’s not a one or two-day journey.”

Qiao Sang’s eyes were blank: “What about my college entrance exam? Will I rush back before the exam?”

Wang Weidou stared at Qiao Sang, then managed to blurt out, “You’re preparing for the college entrance exam?”

“Otherwise?” Qiao Sang retorted.

Wang Weidou was stunned. As the principal, he naturally knew that Qiao Sang could take the college entrance exam early, but to him, it was completely meaningless.

It’s good to be able to take exams beyond one’s grade level, but Qiao Sang won the championship in the third-year high school section of the National Campus Pet Beast League. With such an achievement, many Top Universities would offer her direct admission.

Achieving such a feat in her first year of high school and not choosing one of the top-ranked Top Universities would be a huge loss.

However, those top-ranked Top Universities more or less have cultural score requirements; they wouldn’t just grant direct admission because someone is strong in combat. Otherwise, everyone would just train Pets all day and not bother with books.

Students who are strong in combat and also intelligent are the top choices for those Top Universities.

He had looked into Qiao Sang’s grades; she didn’t score well when she got in, and after joining the School Team, she participated in competitions for several consecutive months, leaving no time for studying.

She’s only in her first year of high school now. Let alone the knowledge from all three years of high school, she probably hasn’t even grasped the key points from the first semester of her first year. Wanting to take the college entrance exam directly in her first year and achieve ideal results to get into the top-ranked Top Universities is simply a pipe dream.

Studying diligently for another year or two before taking the exam is the correct choice.

Wang Weidou was silent for a while, then said tactfully:

“I think if you study hard for another year in high school and take the exam next year, your chances of getting into your desired university might be higher.”

Qiao Sang said, “Vice Principal said I have three chances to take the college entrance exam. If I don’t make it this year, I can try again next year. I want to give it a shot this year.”

That Liu Yao fellow… Wang Weidou sighed and said, “If you want to take the college entrance exam directly in your first year, that’s certainly no problem. The college entrance exam at the high school you’re exchanging to is unified with ours here. As for the special recruitment test, due to the special nature of an Interstellar Exchange Student, the Top University you apply to will send someone specifically to conduct the assessment.”

Then there’s no problem. Otherwise, I’d have to specially come back for the special recruitment assessment and college entrance exam, which would take a lot of time on the road and reduce study time… Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head to fill out the form.

But soon, she was stunned again: “The exchange student period is one year. So, if I get into university next semester, what about the remaining half year?”

Not getting direct admission, but relying on the normal process to get into university in your first year, you really dare to dream… You should know that you’re a prodigy in Yu Beast, not in academics… Wang Weidou silently complained inwardly, his smile still intact on the surface:

“It depends on which university you get into. The country will arrange for you to exchange for another half year at a similarly ranked Top University on Super Dormant Star, based on the standards of the university you get into.”

Never mind, the precious gem has already won first place in the third-year high school section of the National Campus Pet Beast League. She can do whatever she wants with her high school life from now on. Anyway, regardless of the top-ranked Top Universities, the other Top Universities will certainly send many direct admission slots.

I see… Qiao Sang lowered her head and continued filling out the form.

…

Class 1, Grade 1.

“Super Dormant Star, the first planet in human history to be developed and colonized.”

“It has water sources, oxygen, and a constant temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. Its mass is about three times that of Blue Star. Unlike Blue Star, there are no secret realms there, but there are also Pets.”

“There, humans almost live alongside wild Pets. Humans without developed brain regions find life on Super Dormant Star relatively difficult.”

“Because they often have to drive away wild Pets, the status of Yu Beast Master on Super Dormant Star is generally much higher than on Blue Star.”

“On Super Dormant Star, ordinary people can also come into contact with wild Pets. As everyone knows, Pets have varied temperaments, and not all wild Pets are dangerous.”

“Some wild Pets are also gentle in nature, and through long-term contact, there are not a few examples of ordinary people living peacefully with wild Pets.”

“And those who are not Yu Beast Masters but can get Pets to help them do things, we call them Pseudo-Yu Beast Masters.”

Presumably knowing that Qiao Sang was about to become an Interstellar Exchange Student on Super Dormant Star, as the semester approached its end, the astronomy teacher skipped the previous review lessons and directly began teaching about Super Dormant Star.

Qiao Sang diligently took notes.

When class was dismissed, a group of people immediately surrounded her.

A classmate asked, “Qiao Sang, are you going to Super Dormant Star as an exchange student?”

“I heard some Pets on Super Dormant Star are super fierce. You could get attacked just walking on the street.”

“Don’t you think being able to see wild Pets every day is super cool!”

“If you stay there long enough, even if you don’t specifically train, your reaction speed will definitely improve, right?”

“I wonder if the courses there are the same as ours.”

“If only you had a blank contract page left, then you could contract a Pet from Super Dormant Star and bring it back for us to see.”

More and more classmates gathered around.

They were at the age of fifteen or sixteen, a time in life when they viewed things most equally.

Adults might gradually distance themselves or flatter others in an attempt to please them as the gap between friends widens, but young people, as long as the other party doesn’t show a “you mortals, don’t come near me” message, cannot suppress the desire to interact with peer-level big shots.

Now, coupled with the interstellar topic that almost everyone was interested in, for a time, almost all the classmates in the class gathered around.

Lu You, who was usually aloof, was also among them.

Qiao Sang patiently chatted with her classmates, showing no signs of impatience.

These were all academic gods! Borrowing one or two notebooks could save so much study time… Thinking of this, Qiao Sang chatted even more enthusiastically.

When the last class of the afternoon ended, Qiao Sang looked at the stack of notes piled high on her desk and smiled contentedly.

…

It gets dark early in winter. Before six o’clock, night had already fallen.

Many reporters and paparazzi were still at the entrance of Saint Water Middle School.

Qiao Sang stood in the corridor and clearly saw everything outside.

“Little Qunbao.” Qiao Sang said, “Let’s go home.”

“Qun~” Little Qunbao appeared.

The next second, Qiao Sang and Little Qunbao disappeared.

…

At 6:23 PM, Qiao Sang, with Little Qunbao’s multiple Space Movements, arrived at the entrance of Building 16, Qinglu Courtyard.

During the National Competition, she had called her mother and learned that her mother had already moved here.

Qiao Sang opened the door and found that all the soft furnishings inside had been arranged.

Although the refined decoration style was quite luxurious, the appropriate greenery and the uniformly styled beige soft furnishings made the overall feeling much cozier.

Where’s Mom… Qiao Sang looked at the empty hall, pulled out her phone, and prepared to make a call.

“Bang!”

At that moment, there was a loud bang.

Colorful confetti of various colors fluttered down from above.

“Ju Bi!” Fat Home Dove walked out, holding a cake with its wings.

“Welcome home, Champion!” At the same time, her mother’s voice came from above.

Qiao Sang looked up and saw her mother sitting on Faith Weng, holding the party popper that had just shot out the confetti.

I didn’t expect Mom to do this too… Qiao Sang smiled genuinely: “I’m home!”

…

At the same time, at the entrance of Saint Water Middle School, reporters and paparazzi who couldn’t find Qiao Sang gradually packed up their equipment and left.

After everyone had left, a man in a formal suit, with a rather handsome appearance, stepped out of a black car worth over 500,000 on the opposite side of the road and walked directly to the security office door.

“Can you contact Qiao Sang and tell her her dad is here?” Qiao Wangyang said.

The security guard, who had been silent towards the reporters, suddenly looked up and abruptly opened the communication window, but then he suddenly thought of something, and his previously excited expression turned suspicious:

“You’re Qiao Sang’s father?”

Qiao Wangyang nodded: “I am.”

The security guard carefully scrutinized the other party and asked, “Which class is Qiao Sang in?”

Qiao Wangyang was stunned for a moment: “Class One.”

Although he hadn’t been in contact with his daughter for a long time, all of this had been reported with Qiao Sang’s performance in the National Campus Pet Beast League.

The security guard continued to ask, “What’s Qiao Sang’s homeroom teacher’s name?”

How could he possibly know that… Qiao Wangyang opened his mouth, just about to speak.

At that moment, the security guard asked again, “If you’re Qiao Sang’s dad, why don’t you contact her yourself?”

Do you think I don’t want to? It’s just that she blocked me, and she also moved… Qiao Wangyang’s face darkened for a moment as he recalled being blocked and then specially going to her old address, only to be told by a neighbor that Ye Xiangting had already moved.

He couldn’t bring himself to say such a thing.

Seeing that the other party didn’t answer immediately, the security guard confirmed his inner guess and outputted again:

“Even if Qiao Sang didn’t bring her phone, why didn’t you contact Qiao Sang’s teacher?”

Qiao Wangyang was silent for a moment: “I don’t have her homeroom teacher’s contact information.”

“Is that so?” The security guard sneered: “Then do you have any proof that Qiao Sang is your daughter?”

Proof? Qiao Wangyang was a bit confused: “Qiao Sang is my daughter, does that still need proof?”

The security guard nodded: “Otherwise, how would I know if she’s your daughter?”

Qiao Wangyang laughed in anger: “Just call her out and you’ll know.”

Upon hearing this, the security guard stopped pretending and said with a look of disdain:

“Finally revealing your true purpose, are you? You just want to see Qiao Sang. These days, there are all sorts of reporters, even using the trick of impersonating her dad. If you were her dad, would you be unable to contact Qiao Sang and run to the school?”

“If you were her dad, would you not even know her homeroom teacher’s contact number?”

“If you were her dad, would you not know that Qiao Sang doesn’t live at school?”

“She’s probably already home now. Look at you, you don’t look anything like Qiao Sang. And you say you’re her dad.”

The security guard spoke his mind freely, then “slammed” the communication window shut.

Qiao Wangyang: “!!!”

Qiao Wangyang’s face turned from black to white, then white to black again, his body trembling, too angry to speak for a long time.

…

Qinglu Courtyard, Building 16.

A dazzling white light dissipated, and Fat Home Dove transformed into Tonghua Owl.

“Tonghua!”

Tonghua Owl rubbed its large head against her mother, happily nuzzling her.

“Xin Xin!” Faith Weng spread its huge wings and also cried out happily.

Ye Xiangting smiled, “Fat Home Dove actually wanted to evolve the day we moved in, but it wanted to evolve in front of you, so it waited until now.”

“Tonghua.” Tonghua Owl nodded.

“Ya Ya!”

Before Qiao Sang could even be touched, Yabao, looking at the evolved Tonghua Owl, excitedly cried out, issuing a battle invitation.

“Tonghua!”

Tonghua Owl, who hadn’t missed a single one of Qiao Sang’s competition livestreams, shook its head frantically.

Qiao Sang coughed, “Yabao, you need to respect your elders.”

“Ya Ya?”

Yabao tilted its head, showing a confused expression.

Can’t elders be fought? But before, at the base, elders often fought with it.

How weak your combat power was back then, can it compare to now? Qiao Sang quickly changed the subject: “The garden in the back is quite big. You haven’t trained today, do you want to try it there?”

“Ya!”

Yabao’s eyes lit up, instantly forgetting its previous question, and turned to run towards the garden.

“Tonghua.”

Tonghua Owl breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Xiangting watched Yabao’s figure disappear into the living room, her smile never fading: “When you wanted to contract a Fire Fang Dog before, I was worried that fire-type Pets had too hot a temper. I never thought you could raise it so well. And Little Qunbao, when it was still a Treasure Hunting Ghost, it really scared me to death. Who would have thought this child would be so well-behaved.”

“Qun~” Little Qunbao sweetly chirped, hearing the praise.

“When New Year comes, at the banquet…”

Qiao Sang looked at her mother and interrupted, “Mom, I might have to go to Super Dormant Star in a while.”
