Chapter 511: Standings

The yu beast codex had indeed broken through to the fourth page… Qiao Sang’s heart filled with joy.

Yesterday, when she learned her brain development reached 29%, she already had a hunch that a breakthrough might occur.

But even with the breakthrough, she couldn’t help but feel excited.

After all, a four-page yu beast codex is one of the assessment criteria for a C-level Beastmaster, and once successfully certified as a C-level Beastmaster, one is qualified to participate in the Regional Competition.

It’s important to know that the Regional Competition is the largest event in various regions.

It gathers almost all Professional Beast Tamers with high talent and considerable strength in the region, representing the highest level of combat among the younger generation of Professional Beast Tamers in their respective regions.

Without exception, the younger generation of Professional Beast Tamers all aim for the Regional Competition; honor is one reason, and gaining fame is also a significant one.

Any contestant who has participated in the Regional Competition and achieved good results will be inundated with invitations and endorsements from major TV stations, and they won’t have to worry about resources for a considerable period afterward.

Although the attention is like that of a celebrity, their social status and earnings are much higher than celebrities.

The Interstellar Cup is too distant; no one even dares to think about it, but the Regional Competition is already the dream of all Professional Beast Tamers, and Qiao Sang naturally wants to participate.

She picked up her phone from the coffee table, immediately wanting to check online for suitable Pets to contract.

It was a rare opportunity to come to Super Dormant Star; not contracting a Pet from here would be simply inexcusable.

“Ya!”

Just then, Yabao’s voice rang out beside her.

Qiao Sang turned her head and was surprised to see a refreshed Yabao: “You’re awake?”

“Yaya.”

Yabao called out, indicating it had been awake for a long time.

Awake for a long time? Qiao Sang paused, looked down at the time on her phone: 7:58.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Holy cow! It was the second day of school, and she was going to be late again?!

…

Qiao Sang walked into the classroom, drawing the attention of the entire class.

Two days of school, two days late, this was rare not just in the elite class, but in the entire Sainan High School.

Facing the gazes of her classmates, Qiao Sang calmly walked to her seat and sat down.

How others viewed her being late wasn’t important; what was important was missing most of another class’s content.

“It seems we have a troublemaker in our class,” a nearby classmate whispered.

“She’s an Interstellar Exchange Student; even if she’s late every day, the school can’t do anything about her.”

“So envious…”

“What’s there to be envious about? Our school has a point system, and she was promoted directly from first year. If her grades don’t keep up, besides Yu Beast combat and outdoor expeditions, she’ll probably struggle to get points in her other courses. Being late once deducts 3 points, so she’ll likely lose all her initial points after just a few deductions.”

“But she’s an Interstellar Exchange Student, she came here after winning a championship, so she doesn’t lack resources. Even if all her points are gone, her family won’t say a word against her.”

“Stop talking, you’re making me envious too…”

The conversations of the surrounding classmates clearly fell into Qiao Sang’s ears. Her expression remained unchanged; she simply pretended not to hear.

During the next class break, Qiao Sang turned to Tang Yi in the back row and asked:

“What is Sainan High School’s point system?”

Tang Yi was startled, remembering that Qiao Sang spent all day reading and didn’t interact much with others, so it seemed quite normal for her not to know about Sainan High School’s point system.

He explained:

“At Sainan High School, resources are basically exchanged with points. 3 points can be exchanged for resources worth 300,000 alliance coins on the market. By extension, you can think of 1 point as 100,000 alliance coins.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

Wait, someone just said being late once deducts 3 points. She’s been late for two days, so wouldn’t she have lost 600,000 alliance coins directly?!

Tang Yi continued:

“I know you don’t lack resources, but some items that can be redeemed here are not available on the market. I checked the exchange system yesterday, and there are even some SS-level resources on it.”

These two short sentences pierced Qiao Sang’s heart like arrows.

Qiao Sang was silent for a long time: “No one ever told me about this…”

“You’re always reading, so there’s no chance to chat with you.” Tang Yi lowered his voice here: “The people here won’t actively tell us these things either.”

“Why?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Because we’re Interstellar Exchange Students,” Tang Yi whispered. “Their points are calculated from their first year, and we only arrived in the second half of our third year. The good stuff won’t be our turn to exchange. The teachers here are all from Super Dormant Star, and to them, we’re just here to exchange and experience different learning methods.”

“But they might genuinely think we don’t need those resources. After all, we’re only staying here for half a year. We don’t have enough points to exchange for things not available on the market, and for things that are available, they think we don’t lack them.”

Qiao Sang listened, processed the information, and said:

“The classmates here probably don’t care about points that much, do they?”

“Who said that?” Tang Yi sighed. “They’re all born into large families. They might not care much about resources, but they care about the points ranking.”

Qiao Sang looked at Tang Yi, signaling him to continue.

Tang Yi said:

“The points ranking is a list that judges students’ abilities in various aspects here. Even if they don’t care, their parents will.”

“If their points are too low, their family members will think that person is incompetent, and once judged incompetent, it will be very difficult for them to be reused in the family later.”

They already assess abilities in high school, as expected of large families… Qiao Sang asked: “Then how do you earn points?”

Tang Yi patiently replied:

“Based on your grades in various subjects, or by gaining certain honors for the school. You can also help classmates or teachers with some things. Points can be transferred, and people here basically use points for transactions.”

“By the way, what’s your initial score?”

Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, and she asked: “Aren’t our initial scores the same?”

Tang Yi’s gaze was resentful: “You’re the champion, I’m the runner-up, how could the points be the same?”

Awkward, so initial points depend on this… Qiao Sang coughed and said:

“Where can I see my initial points?”

Tang Yi glanced at Qiao Sang, his gaze as if looking at a primitive person still using 2G internet.

“Check the Sainan High School official website. You can see it by logging in with your student ID,” Tang Yi said.

So that’s it… While class hadn’t started yet, Qiao Sang pulled out her phone and quickly opened the school’s official website, logging into her account.

“How many points do you have?” Tang Yi eagerly asked.

Qiao Sang said with a rather displeased expression: “94 points.”

94 points, obviously 6 points had already been deducted.

600,000 alliance coins, just like that… gone…

“What about you?” Qiao Sang tidied her mood and looked up to ask.

Tang Yi was silent for two seconds: “Guess?”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Tang Yi cried internally, so there was such a big difference between the champion and the runner-up! 20 points, he couldn’t even bring himself to say it out loud!
