Chapter 552: Lose a few games

“Air Absorption, a high-level Flying-type skill, can create a temporary vacuum by absorbing air from the surroundings.”

A high-level skill, Little Steel Falcon could actually learn this… Qiao Sang closed her computer contentedly, not bothering to search for how to learn skills herself as she usually would.

Now that she was in Sainan High School, which had abundant resources, she could just ask a teacher if she didn’t understand something.

…

Early the next morning, after arranging everything for Ya Bao and the others, Qiao Sang arrived in the classroom and saw her folded school uniform on her desk.

Looking at Tang Yi, he was already dressed in a white shirt, black vest, black formal wear, and black pants.

“You didn’t sleep well again yesterday?” Qiao Sang walked closer and asked, staring at Tang Yi’s two dark circles.

“When I think that I’m only one match away from that million-dollar dividend, I just can’t sleep,” Tang Yi sighed,趴 on his desk.

Qiao Sang chuckled, “What’s there to lose sleep over? Just go compete again.”

Tang Yi stared at Qiao Sang, his tone resentful: “Honestly tell me, if you were also one match away from losing out on the dividend, could you sleep well?”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “If I hadn’t experienced yesterday’s arena match and didn’t know how much the dividend was, then it probably wouldn’t be a problem.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Yi’s gaze became even more resentful.

At this moment, You Na, who was nearby, leaned over and asked, “Qiao Sang, are you still going tonight?”

“Of course, why wouldn’t I?” Qiao Sang said.

“Then I’ll go with you,” You Na said with a smile.

“I’ll go with you guys,” Tang Yi said without hesitation, “But once we get there, I won’t be with you two. I need to go to the 11th floor to become the E-level Beastmaster Arena King first.”

The three chatted for a few more sentences, then Qiao Sang asked, “Do we have any teachers in our grade who specialize in teaching specific Pet skills?”

You Na looked strange and said, “Yes, we do, but hardly anyone looks for these teachers.”

“Why?” Qiao Sang asked curiously.

“Because it costs points,” Before You Na could answer, Gene, who was sitting behind her, suddenly leaned forward and whispered, “5 points for low-level skills, 10 points for mid-level skills, and 50 points for high-level skills. It’s simply too much of a rip-off.”

At this point, he smiled and said in an even quieter voice, “But if you really want to learn, you can come to me. I’ll invite someone from outside to teach you. Since we’re classmates, I’ll give you a friendship discount of 20%. As the champion, you definitely wouldn’t be interested in low-level skills. For mid-level skills, just give me 8 points, and for high-level skills, 40 points is fine.”

Qiao Sang immediately felt unwell: “It actually requires points…”

She thought it was free teaching!

“Of course it requires points,” Gene said, “Aside from our regular courses, all other teaching resources here require points to exchange.”

You Na nodded silently.

Qiao Sang was silent for a long time.

She suddenly felt that it might be better to research Air Absorption herself and then teach it to Little Steel Falcon…

“Do you need it?” Seeing Qiao Sang remain silent for a long time, Gene couldn’t help but ask.

“No, I don’t,” Qiao Sang shook her head decisively.

Gene’s face was filled with disappointment upon hearing this. Then he thought of something and smiled again: “If you change your mind, feel free to come to me anytime.”

Qiao Sang thought to herself that changing her mind was impossible; she didn’t even have enough points herself.

But then again, perhaps she should put earning points on her agenda…

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang sincerely said, “I will. If you encounter any problems, such as getting sick, you can also come to me anytime.”

Gene: “???”

…

At 7:30 PM, Qiao Sang rode Ya Bao with Tang Yi and the others to Hejin Building.

Tang Yi went to the 11th floor, while she and You Na went to the 21st floor.

As soon as she entered, Qiao Sang noticed many people looking at her from time to time, giving her a sense of being in the spotlight, similar to when she was in the National Campus Pet Beast League.

After walking a couple of steps, a Staff quickly came forward to greet them.

You Na handed over her VIP card.

The Staff was momentarily stunned, then took the card with both hands and apologized, “Miss, please wait a moment.”

After saying that, he called another Staff over: “You take this lady to the private room.”

He then turned to Qiao Sang, his attitude respectful: “Miss Qiao Sang, we have specially prepared a private lounge for you. Please follow me.”

Is this what they call becoming famous in one battle? Qiao Sang nodded: “Okay.”

You Na: “???”

No! We’re together!

…

The evening’s competition went very smoothly. Qiao Sang won all her matches, and even in the final match to become the Arena King, no difficult opponents appeared.

When she left the arena, the crowd cheered, and some even came with pens to ask for autographs.

This caught Qiao Sang off guard.

She had only competed for two days, and she was already this famous?

Just as Qiao Sang was surrounded by enthusiasm, hesitating whether to sign autographs, a business card was handed over.

Qiao Sang looked up and saw a man with yellow hair.

“Miss Qiao Sang, I am an agent from Chuangsuo Company. I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with us, I…”

Before the yellow-haired man could finish speaking, another middle-aged man squeezed him aside and, smiling, handed over his business card:

“Miss Qiao Sang, I am an agent from Weidao Company…”

“Don’t you understand first come, first served? I haven’t even finished speaking!” The yellow-haired man furiously pushed the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was not angry, but continued to smile at Qiao Sang:

“This person seems to have a bad temper. Your cooperation with him will definitely not be smooth.”

Upon hearing this, the yellow-haired man’s face completely darkened: “I’ll fight you!”

After saying that, he threw a punch.

The two quickly started wrestling.

Qiao Sang: “…”

No, just talk, why are you fighting?

Fortunately, the Staff intervened in time and “invited” both of them out.

At this moment, Jude walked over and said with a smile, “Miss Qiao Sang, can we talk?”

…

In the private lounge.

You Na sat on the sofa, sending messages in a group chat on her phone:

[As expected of the champion, on only her second day, she’s already been noticed by the official Pet Arena organizers.]

At the same time, Qiao Sang was chatting with someone nearby.

Jude said, “Every time you appear, we will give an additional 10% of the gambling pool’s dividends. You just need to cooperate with us for promotion and use our partners’ items and Spiritual Marks during matches.”

“Of course, we will split the amount given by our partners 80/20, with you taking the larger share.”

“You can also tell us what kind of items and Spiritual Marks you like your Pet to use, and we will find partners according to your preferences.”

“As long as you come, you can use a private lounge, and no one will disturb you.”

“If you have any other needs, you can also tell us.”

“Speaking of cooperation, no one is more sincere than our official Pet Arena.”

Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds and asked:

“The treatment is so good, it can’t just be about letting me use some items and Spiritual Marks, right?”

Jude smiled:

“You are indeed a smart person. Actually, it’s nothing much. We just need you to help us win the arena matches at critical moments, and…”

At this point, he paused and looked at You Na.

“I’ll go out and make a call first,” You Na said, very perceptive.

She stood up, pushed the door open, and thoughtfully closed it behind her.

Jude looked at Qiao Sang and continued:

“And lose a few matches when necessary.” (End of chapter)
