Chapter 536: Ore market

Chapter 534: The Ore Market

Qiao Sang turned her head and recognized the Staff who had previously allowed her to enter through the back door.

“Money?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.

The woman smiled and said, “Yes, money. Every contestant who wins a match gets money.”

“How much?” Qiao Sang asked casually.

She was currently in the richest period of her life and didn’t place too much importance on money that wasn’t sustainable.

“500 alliance coins per match,” the woman said with a smile. “But with the betting pool’s share, you can receive 130,000 alliance coins.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, suspecting she had misheard: “How much?”

Just by defeating an E-level Beastmaster and two intermediate Pets, she directly earned the amount of money a Fire Fang Dog used to cost on the market, with some left over?!

“130,000 alliance coins.” The woman knew what the young girl in front of her was surprised about and explained, “This is your first time playing today, and everyone doesn’t know much about your strength, so they all bet on Kash. Therefore, this time’s share will be a bit more.”

Understood, it means that now, as a newcomer, she can pretend to be weak to exploit the strong, but after a few more matches, there won won’t be so much of a share… Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds and said, “I think I can go back up and play a few more matches…”

The woman said apologetically, “I’m afraid there’s no chance today. Each contestant here can only go up once a day.”

Qiao Sang’s expression was melancholic, as if she saw a pile of money slipping away from her.

The woman changed the subject and continued, “Miss Qiao Sang, if you are interested in the arena matches, you can come again tomorrow.”

I want to come too, but tomorrow I have classes, homework, and I need to prepare for the college entrance exam… Qiao Sang’s expression became even more melancholic.

The child in front of her was clearly still a student, and tomorrow was Monday, so she probably thought she didn’t have time… The woman saw the young girl’s expression, pondered for a moment, and said,

“If Miss Qiao Sang wants to come, I can arrange a special lounge for you. You can do your homework in the lounge, and I guarantee no one will disturb you.”

Qiao Sang was a little tempted, not just by the money, but also by the Point.

She had figured out Sainan High School’s curriculum; there weren’t many practical combat classes. If Ya Bao and the others stayed in school all semester, they probably wouldn’t gain many Point… Thinking of this, Qiao Sang asked,

“What time do the arena matches end at night?”

The woman smiled upon hearing this, knowing that the young girl in front of her would most likely come again.

She pulled out a business card from her pocket:

“We are open 24 hours a day. You can contact me directly when you come. This is my business card.”

After Qiao Sang finished the procedures, collected her money, and left, a Staff member came forward and asked,

“Sister Feng, do you have high hopes for her?”

The woman smiled and said, “Without props or Spiritual Mark, she used a Little Steel Falcon to continuously defeat two intermediate Pets across ranks. How many people have you seen who can do that? And she is a D-level Beastmaster; her true ace Pet hasn’t even been sent out yet. Believe me, she is definitely a cash cow.”

…

11th floor, rest area.

Qiao Sang was applying strengthening oil to Little Steel Falcon.

Little Steel Falcon obediently cooperated without moving.

“Do you feel anything?” Qiao Sang asked while applying the oil.

“Gang gang.”

Little Steel Falcon carefully felt it, then cried out, indicating that it felt nothing, but this stuff smelled a bit bad.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao, three meters away, nodded vigorously in empathy.

It does have a bit of a smell… But it shouldn’t, right? Didn’t they say the effect of each application is very obvious? Could it be that she was tricked… Qiao Sang picked up a tissue she had prepared earlier to wipe her hands, just about to take out her phone to contact the Trainer named Monier.

At this moment, Little Steel Falcon’s body stiffened.

Qiao Sang noticed Little Steel Falcon’s stiffness, stopped her movements, and asked,

“Do you feel it now?”

“Gang gang…”

Little Steel Falcon showed an expression of endurance and nodded.

“What do you feel?” Qiao Sang asked again.

“Gang gang…”

Little Steel Falcon described it; it felt a little itchy.

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao appeared, curiously picked up the bottle with a little strengthening oil left in it, and poured it on itself.

Five seconds later.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao rolled on the ground, crying out desperately.

It was so itchy!

Qiao Sang looked at the empty bottle next to it and only then realized that Xiao Xunbao had used the strengthening oil.

This curiosity is unparalleled… Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao with a complicated expression.

Five minutes later.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao wiped the non-existent sweat from its forehead, showing an expression of relief after a narrow escape.

“Gang gang.”

Little Steel Falcon looked at it, cried out, indicating that it had already said it was itchy.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao instantly became agitated.

Was that called itchy?! That was called VERY itchy!

Little Steel Falcon: “…”

It suddenly realized that Xiao Xunbao was somewhat different from the powerful image it had imagined…

…

In the afternoon, Qiao Sang went to a jewelry store.

Upon hearing that she wanted to customize diamond gloves for Xiao Xunbao, the Staff’s eyes immediately looked at her as if she were some kind of novel human.

“No customization?” Seeing the Staff not speak for a long time, Qiao Sang asked.

“Yes! Of course!” The Staff controlled her expression and quickly said.

She looked back and forth between Ya Bao, Xiao Xunbao, and Little Steel Falcon, finally fixing her gaze on Ya Bao.

Then, the Staff took out a soft ruler and was about to measure Ya Bao.

“Ya ya?”

Ya Bao looked bewildered.

“What are you doing?” Qiao Sang asked, stepping back one step while holding Ya Bao.

The Staff was stunned for a moment: “Measuring Xiao Xunbao’s size.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao floated eerily in front of the Staff; it was the real Xiao Xunbao…

Under Qiao Sang’s explanation, the Staff was stunned for a long time.

If she wasn’t mistaken, this Pet should be a Ghost-type Pet.

So, this was to customize diamond gloves for a Ghost-type Pet?

Qiao Sang didn’t know that her actions at this moment had confused others for most of their lives.

After clarifying that the gloves would be ready in a week, Qiao Sang left Sainan High School’s address, her phone number, and name, then walked out of the store, searching for the location of the ore market.

…

As the sun set, a taxi drove to the side of a crystalline building.

The ore market was located here.

Because the location was a bit remote, Qiao Sang didn’t let Ya Bao follow the navigation but directly called a taxi.

After paying, Qiao Sang got out of the car and walked inside.

“Just tell me what kind of ore you’re interested in,” Qiao Sang said grandly.

“Gang gang.”

Little Steel Falcon nodded, understanding.

Qiao Sang walked into the entrance and looked around, seeing that the first floor was mostly stalls, neatly arranged, and the upper floors looked like shops.

There weren’t many people browsing, just scattered individuals.

Qiao Sang leisurely browsed.

Suddenly, Little Steel Falcon stopped in front of a stall.

“What caught your eye?” Qiao Sang smiled and looked down.

“All the diamonds here are natural,” the stall owner quickly introduced when he saw someone approaching. “Large particles, few impurities, absolutely top-grade. They’ll look great polished into diamonds.”

The young girl in front of him was clearly a Yu Beast Master. Diamonds were sky-high for ordinary people, but for Yu Beast Masters, they might not even be as expensive as a bottle of potion.

“Gang gang.”

Little Steel Falcon pointed with its wing at the diamonds on the stall.

This seems good.

Qiao Sang looked at the dazzling diamonds on the ground and was silent for two seconds: “I remember you bought ore to eat?”

“Gang gang.”

Little Steel Falcon nodded.

“And you have to eat it every day?” Qiao Sang took a deep breath and continued to ask.

“Gang gang.”

Little Steel Falcon nodded again.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Eat diamonds? Every day? Who the hell can afford that?!

“Gang gang.”

Little Steel Falcon glanced at its Yu Beast Master’s expression, then realized something, pointed forward with its wing, indicating not to buy yet, and to browse more.

Qiao Sang didn’t leave but hesitated for a moment and asked,

“Boss, can I use a credit card?”

The stall owner’s eyes lit up: “Of course!”

Qiao Sang pulled out her black gold card.

“Gang gang.”

Little Steel Falcon was stunned, seemingly not expecting Qiao Sang to actually buy it.

For the sake of future days, Qiao Sang earnestly said, “Don’t get addicted to eating them. It’s better to eat different kinds of ore.”

“Gang gang.”

Little Steel Falcon heard this, smiled secretly, and nodded.
