Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 499: the day after tomorrow?
Qiao Sang pushed the door open and was surprised to find the Vice Principal also there.
Before she could even greet him, Wang Weidou pushed the unopened package on the table towards her and smiled, “Open it quickly and see.”
Qiao Sang stepped forward and opened the package.
Inside were a temporary identity card for Super Dormant Star, an interstellar passport with a Super Dormant Star visa affixed, and an admission letter from Sainan High School.
The country’s efficiency is truly high; in just a few days, without her even having to go in person for photos or anything, everything was taken care of… Qiao Sang looked at these items, feeling emotional.
At this moment, Wang Weidou said gently, “The notice has come down; you need to depart the day after tomorrow. Be at school at 9 AM, and someone will come to pick you up.”
Qiao Sang was startled: “The day after tomorrow? That fast?”
Wouldn’t that mean she wouldn’t have to take final exams this semester?
Liu Yao, who was beside him, explained, “It takes about a month to reach Super Dormant Star, but that’s just to arrive at Super Dormant Star. You still have to travel to this school, and the journey itself might take a while. The country’s arrangements always have their reasons; it’s always better to depart early.”
Wang Weidou added, “The school is aware of your situation. Don’t worry, even if you miss the final exams, it won’t affect your personal file.”
Alright, the day after tomorrow it is. But the timing is quite magical, just right after Mom’s banquet… Qiao Sang nodded: “I understand.”
Just as Qiao Sang was about to say goodbye.
Liu Yao glanced to the side, and Xian Teacher, who had been quietly waiting, immediately floated in front of Qiao Sang and handed over the paper he was holding.
“This contains the latest special formulas for Energy Pills for Liao Xing Hound, Ghost Ring Spirit, and Ice Kexilu,” Liu Yao said. “You can find an Energy Pill maker on Super Dormant Star to produce them according to these formulas.”
The Vice Principal actually thought of this… Qiao Sang was deeply moved and reached out to take it: “Thank you, Vice Principal.”
Wang Weidou looked at this scene with a smile, pointing to the unusually conspicuous black box next to the table and saying:
“This box contains two months’ worth of Energy Pills for Liao Xing Hound and the others. They were all specially made by the Vice Principal in the past few days according to the new formula, and they can be given to them on the starship.”
There’s such a good thing? Qiao Sang was overjoyed and was about to offer thanks and flattery.
At this moment, Liu Yao pushed forward a stack of books and test papers on the coffee table, piled about half a meter high: “These are the textbooks and test papers for all subjects from three years of high school. You can do them during your month on the starship when you have nothing to do.”
Qiao Sang: “???”
Qiao Sang’s expression froze for a moment.
For a moment, the office fell silent.
After about two or three seconds, Qiao Sang managed to squeeze out: “You are truly thoughtful.”
…
After Qiao Sang left, Wang Weidou took a sip of tea and said:
“The competition is over, I didn’t expect you to still be willing to put effort into things other than research.”
Liu Yao said indifferently, “Qiao Sang is different.”
Wang Weidou glanced at him: “Is it for Liao Xing Hound?”
“Not entirely.” Liu Yao looked towards the door and said, “Qiao Sang’s talent, both in combat and in nurturing Pets, is extraordinary. Such a genius is truly rare in my life. You can just say I developed a love for talent.”
…
7 PM.
Qinglu Courtyard, Building 16.
After dinner, Qiao Sang, uncharacteristically, didn’t read or do practice problems. Instead, she took off her school uniform, changed into a casual black down jacket, and went out, holding the miniaturized Ya.
Since she only had tonight and tomorrow to stay on Blue Star, she had to make sure everything was prepared before she left.
Under the night sky, she went to the supermarket with Ya, buying several large bags of snacks and some daily toiletries.
Although it was said online that meals were provided on the starship, she would be staying there for about a month, so some necessary snacks were definitely needed.
She also bought some clothes suitable for 20-degree weather at a clothing store.
The temperature on Super Dormant Star is consistently around 25 degrees Celsius, so as long as the clothes’ thickness is right, they can be worn at any time.
It was still unknown what the school rules of Sainan High School, where she would be an Interstellar Exchange Student, were like, and whether she could live off-campus was also unclear. For her academic score, she would probably stay at school and have no time to go out, so preparing more clothes early was definitely the right thing to do.
After putting all the purchased items into Xiao Xunbao’s ring, Qiao Sang took out her phone and dialed Song Yuan’s number.
The sunglasses contract was for one year, and Ya had only shot two seasons of new sunglasses. There were still two seasons of sunglasses left to shoot, and since she would be staying on Super Dormant Star for a year, she naturally had to inform Song Yuan about this.
After two “beep-boop” sounds, the call connected, and Song Yuan’s surprised voice came through the speaker:
“Qiao Sang?”
“It’s me.” Qiao Sang got straight to the point: “I have to leave Blue Star the day after tomorrow. Have the new winter sunglasses been released? I can shoot them tomorrow, but I might not be able to do the spring ones. I will pay you the breach of contract fee.”
Song Yuan froze for a few seconds, astonished and bewildered:
“Leave Blue Star? Where are you going?”
“The country gave me an Interstellar Exchange Student slot. I have to go to Super Dormant Star the day after tomorrow,” Qiao Sang said.
Go to Super Dormant Star, to be an Interstellar Exchange Student?!
Song Yuan was truly shocked.
But then she remembered that Qiao Sang had won the National Campus Pet Beast League high school senior division championship.
With this achievement, it seemed quite normal to be selected by the country… Song Yuan took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice calm:
“Do you have time now? Can we meet?”
Qiao Sang thought for 0.1 seconds, then said:
“Okay, I’ll send you the location.”
…
City Center Mall.
Third-floor coffee shop.
Qiao Sang held a steaming coffee in one hand and a book in the other.
The college entrance exam wasn’t far off, time was precious, and couldn’t be wasted.
“Ya…”
At this moment, Ya’s retching sound came from beside her.
Qiao Sang turned her head and found that Ya had pushed the coffee in front of him to the side, his expression full of distaste.
“Is it that bad?” Qiao Sang asked with a smile.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya nodded with lingering fear.
It was too awful!
It seems coffee isn’t to Ya’s taste… Qiao Sang turned her head to the side: “Xiao Xunbao, do you want to try?”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao appeared and shook his head frantically.
Ya Brother said it was awful, and he wasn’t stupid.
It’s a pity he doesn’t go to school… Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao, this thought flashing through her mind for the Nth time.
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao felt his Yu Beast Master’s gaze, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart. He quietly became invisible.
Qiao Sang turned to Ya: “If you don’t want coffee, do you want something else to drink?”
“Ya…”
Ya began to ponder.
To drink or not to drink, that is the question…
At this moment, accompanied by footsteps, a familiar female voice sounded from far to near: “You’re too much, reading even when you’re out. Are you going to let others live?”
Qiao Sang looked up and, without surprise, saw Song Yuan.
“I can’t help it, I’ve fallen too far behind in my studies,” Qiao Sang closed the book.
Song Yuan pulled out a chair nearby and sat down, opened her bag, took out a contract, and placed it on the table, saying seriously, “Take a look, this is the new contract.”
After speaking, she subtly glanced at Ya beside her.
Ahhh! A miniature Liao Xing Hound! I really want to touch him!
A new contract? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, took it, and began to read.
Soon, she was dumbfounded: “You want to give me 20% of the shares?”
Song Yuan stared intently at Qiao Sang, saying:
“That’s right. I drafted this contract after you won the championship. There are no requirements, you just need to do a few new sunglasses photoshoots with Liao Xing Hound each year.”
Qiao Sang was tempted.
Although she now had an unlimited card, the card had a time limit and restrictions. Things like stocks couldn’t be bought on the stock market with a credit card.
The third-party custody bank card linked to buying stocks could only be a debit card, not a credit card.
“Why?” Qiao Sang asked.
Song Yuan’s tone was serious:
“Although this is my company, it’s not large-scale, and I can’t afford to hire famous Professional Beast Tamers. Ever since I hired you as an endorser, our monthly sales growth has exploded, with one month’s sales surpassing half a year’s previous sales.”
“Your progress is too fast. I dare to bet that your future is limitless, so I hope we can continue to cooperate.”
“20% of the shares is my sincerity.”
Song Yuan’s words were very sincere and truly from the heart, without any lies.
She wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Qiao Sang. A genius as abnormal as Qiao Sang couldn’t possibly stay in the Yuhua region forever.
Now, Qiao Sang was underage, and even if her family had money, what she could control was definitely limited. This was the easiest time to establish cooperation.
To be honest, giving 20% of the shares to a high school student like this, others would definitely think she was crazy, but she was betting on the future.
Qiao Sang’s talent was so high, and she was on the combat path, so the chances of her participating in various large-scale Yu Beast combat competitions in the future were simply too great.
As long as she showed a little promise, she would definitely make a fortune in the future.
Originally, she had some hesitation, but after hearing Qiao Sang say she was selected by the country to be an Interstellar Exchange Student, she knew she couldn’t wait any longer.
A true discerning eye! She was simply too insightful… Qiao Sang was deeply moved.
Even when she only had Ya, Song Yuan had chosen her at a glance. At that time, Ya hadn’t even evolved into an Yan Ling Dog.
Later, the contract became a million, and now it had become 20% of the shares.
She was just worrying about what to do after the unlimited card expired, and then Song Yuan delivered such a big surprise.
“I’ll be staying on Super Dormant Star for a year, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back for photoshoots,” Qiao Sang remembered this point.
Song Yuan smiled; she knew that Qiao Sang having this concern meant the contract was solid.
“I will send the sunglasses via interstellar express. You can take the photos yourself or ask someone to help, then just send them to me via the StarNet,” Song Yuan said.
“Okay.” Qiao Sang immediately stopped hesitating, took out a pen from her backpack, and signed her name.
The next day, 5:23 PM.
Shidu Grand Hotel.
Outside the hotel hung a banner that read, “Congratulations to Qiao Sang for winning the 336th National Campus Pet Beast League High School Senior Division Individual Competition Championship.”
Reporters, who knows where they got the news, rushed over upon hearing it.
It had been less than a week since Qiao Sang won the championship, and the excitement hadn’t diminished much.
Camera equipment and a dense crowd of reporters almost occupied half of the hotel lobby.
The hotel Staff tried their best to control the scene.
Meanwhile, Qiao Sang was already surrounded by a large group of relatives in the banquet hall on the third floor, being showered with red envelopes.
PS: The missing word count will be added tomorrow. I really ran out of time.
