Chapter 550: Want to learn

Jude’s mouth twitched imperceptibly: “The amount is quite large, and we didn’t expect you to leave so soon, so we’re still calculating.”

The amount is quite large… Qiao Sang’s smile spread uncontrollably across her face, and she said in a great mood:

“No rush, take your time calculating. Be thorough. I’ll be waiting for you in private room 03 upstairs.”

After speaking, she strode away.

“Wait!” Jude quickly blocked Qiao Sang’s path and said, “There’s one more thing. I wanted to ask if you could be a guest for our arena competition tomorrow?”

A guest? Qiao Sang glanced at Wang Xuezhi on the commentary stand, then turned and flatly refused: “Sorry, I might not have time.”

What a joke. She didn’t know the Pets of Super Dormant Star, nor did she know any of their items or Spiritual Marks. Going up there would just be embarrassing.

Jude didn’t expect such a direct refusal. He persisted, unwilling to give up:

“Come whenever you can, as long as you can be here for three hours. Whether it’s morning or evening, just contact me, and we’ll send someone to pick you up.”

Saying this, he handed her a business card.

Qiao Sang took the card, just about to refuse again.

Jude added:

“We won’t waste your time. Afterwards, we’ll pay you 100,000 alliance coins.”

Honestly, just being a guest, with a dedicated commentator, and she just sitting there, only needing to say a few cooperative words, this treatment wasn’t bad.

Unfortunately, this was the richest period of her life.

Qiao Sang was tempted, but not by much.

She refused again: “I really don’t have time. I still have to go to school. However, I will be back tonight to continue participating in the arena competition.”

She’ll continue to participate in the arena competition? Why didn’t you say so sooner… Jude smiled slightly upon hearing this: “Then I won’t force you. I hope there will be an opportunity for you to be our guest in the future.”

…

As Qiao Sang entered the private room, You Na and Tang Yi immediately surrounded her.

You Na’s eyes lit up:

“Qiao Sang, you’re so amazing!”

Of course, I’m the champion… Qiao Sang modestly said: “That’s because my opponents didn’t really understand my Pet.”

“Didn’t you also not understand their Pets?” Tang Yi said with a smile: “Don’t be modest. I always felt you wouldn’t lose.”

While summoning Ya! and Ice Ke, Qiao Sang asked: “What did you bet on that last match?”

Tang Yi sighed: “3:0. You 3, Frida 0.”

Friend, you’re blindly trusting. Everyone else has a General-level Pet and you still bet 0 on them… Qiao Sang pretended to focus on summoning, as if the topic had never come up.

Tang Yi’s tone changed, full of trust: “If your Liao Xing Hound was at full strength, I believe the first round just now definitely wouldn’t have been a draw!”

“Ice Ke.”

Ice Ke, who had just been summoned, looked at the injured Ya! with closed eyes, and hearing the words, frowned slightly.

What kind of opponent? So strong? Even Ya! couldn’t win?

“Ice Ke, heal Ya!,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ice Ke.”

Ice Ke nodded, and then the white gem on her forehead glowed blue.

Beside them, You Na stared intently at the Pet radiating a mysterious aura, her heart couldn’t help but beat faster.

This, this Pet is too beautiful!

As someone who values looks, she knew much more about coordination competitions than Yu Beast Master battles.

Almost at first glance, she could tell that this Pet’s appearance alone would cause quite a stir in the coordination circle.

“Qiao Sang, what’s this Pet called?” You Na took a deep breath and asked.

“Ice Kexilu,” Qiao Sang said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ya! was fully healed.

You Na’s eyes brightened even more. The name was nice, and the Healing skill was so strong!

“Can I touch her?” You Na asked expectantly.

“Ice Ke.”

Ice Ke looked at her warily, emitting a bit of cold air.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang shook her head:

“I’m afraid not. Ice Ke doesn’t like people touching her casually.”

“Ya!”

Ya! patted Ice Ke with his paw.

That’s right, that’s right, this guy doesn’t like being touched by others.

“Ice Ke…”

Ice Ke glared at Ya!.

“Ya!?”

Ya! blinked his big, wet eyes.

Ice Ke glared again.

Ya! blinked again.

Ice Ke: “…”

Oh, I see… You Na let out a disappointed “Oh.”

She’s an endangered Pet. If she were that easy to touch, those people from the Ancient Mist region would go crazy… Tang Yi muttered to himself on the side.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

You Na said “Come in,” and the door opened automatically.

A Staff member walked in and respectfully handed Qiao Sang her player card:

“Your share of tonight’s appearance fee and the 20% of the betting pool as per the agreement are all on this card.”

“How much?” Qiao Sang asked.

“3.23 million,” the Staff member said politely.

“How much?!” Qiao Sang’s voice suddenly rose, and she almost jumped up.

“3.23 million,” the Staff member repeated.

Qiao Sang took her player card with a dazed expression.

Tang Yi, on the other hand, looked bewildered. So much money could be shared?

Then he thought of something, and his face was filled with heartache.

So, last time in the E-level Beastmaster arena competition, he missed out on a million-dollar share?!

The Staff member respectfully withdrew.

Is money really that easy to earn… If she came every day and won the arena king every time, then… Hehehe… Just as Qiao Sang was getting lost in her pleasant thoughts, You Na spoke up beside her:

“The profit-sharing agreement might be signed with the same person many times, but once you win the arena king, this agreement will never be signed with you again.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

She vaguely heard a “click.”

That was the sound of a dream shattering…

…

Sainan High School.

Dormitory Area 1.

Dorm 502.

Qiao Sang excitedly checked her balance.

[Your savings account ending in 0666 has a current balance of 5,127,833.67 yuan…]

The 3.23 million share, plus the twenty-something 3:0 bets You Na helped her place, and her previous balance, brought her total to over 5 million in just one night.

An unlimited card was good, but without a specific number, and many things couldn’t be bought with it, nor could it be cashed out easily like a regular credit card, it always gave a vague, uncontrollable feeling.

Only the money in her savings card was real, tangible, and visible.

Qiao Sang was in a good mood.

No wonder so many people spent all their time in Pet arena competitions. This earning speed was much faster than going out to do missions.

Of course, the spending speed was too…

Qiao Sang put down her phone, adjusted her mindset, and started doing practice problems.

Suddenly, she felt a blue light illuminate behind her.

Qiao Sang turned around and found Ice Ke was casting Healing Light on Ya!.

When the blue light dissipated, Ya! looked full of energy.

“Aren’t you sleeping?” Qiao Sang was startled and asked.

“Ya!”

Ya! let out a serious cry.

No sleep, he had to practice holding his breath!

He didn’t win against that bird tonight because his breath-holding wasn’t good enough!

Qiao Sang was greatly shocked upon hearing this. She hadn’t expected Ya! to have such awareness.

She didn’t notice that Little Steel Falcon, listening nearby, showed a thoughtful expression.

…

Half an hour later.

“Ya!…”

Ya! was sleeping with his eyes closed, drooling.

Qiao Sang: “…”

So Ice Ke’s Healing Light could only keep Ya! awake for half an hour…

Before, when Ya! wanted to train late at night, Ice Ke wouldn’t let him use it, so she hadn’t noticed this…

“Steel Steel.”

Just then, Little Steel Falcon cried out.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang turned and asked.

“Steel Steel.”

Little Steel Falcon cried out seriously, indicating he wanted to learn.

Qiao Sang was stunned: “Learn what?”

“Steel Steel.”

Little Steel Falcon pointed at Ya! with his wing.

He wanted to learn the skill that bird used to win against Big Brother tonight.
