Chapter 563: Sure enough, you shouldn’t have your hopes up (2-in-1)

“That’s what the fortune tellers on the street say too…” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but inwardly complain.

Just as she was about to refuse, Mai Ji, who was walking ahead, turned his head and asked with a smile:

“Teacher Madeline from Sahe’er School, her Zeus Rice is usually hard to see. The office is just ahead, do you want to go take a look?”

Beside him, there were teachers and students from other schools, as well as several other Sahe’er School students who were serving as volunteers, all turning to look.

Logically, the teacher leading the group would be enough, there was no need to specifically ask the students. However, the initial topic of conversation from the several schools that came to talk was all about Qiao Sang, which made Mai Ji subconsciously ask for Qiao Sang’s opinion.

With a group of people staring like that, how could I say no… Qiao Sang nodded and said, “Okay.”

…

The group arrived at Madeline’s office.

At this time, the office door was tightly shut, and the entrance was filled with students wearing different school uniforms, discussing in twos and threes, making the place look a bit like a tourist attraction.

When they saw Qiao Sang approaching, the surrounding students uniformly turned their gaze towards her and Yarbao.

The previous match wasn’t particularly exciting; it was just that the Pet was something they had never seen before, and the Pet Identifier had indicated that one of them was an endangered Pet. Coupled with the orange-yellow star array that shouldn’t appear at the high school level, this left a deep impression of Qiao Sang in everyone’s minds.

“Why does she look even younger up close?”

“People from the Dragon Nation inherently look younger than their actual age.”

“That’s right, I once saw a woman from the Dragon Nation who looked only in her twenties, but when I asked, she was 42 years old. I originally thought she was at least a C-level Beastmaster, which was why she looked young, but I didn’t expect her to be just an E-level Beastmaster.”

It is well known that low-level Yu Beast Masters receive almost no feedback for maintaining their appearance.

“Indeed, some people from the Dragon Nation maintain themselves very well even if they are not Yu Beast Masters.”

At this moment, the office door opened.

Five students, uniformly dressed in pure white shirts and silver-gray jackets, walked out.

“Lulu.”

Behind them, a Pet that looked like an egg, with a body color predominantly creamy yellow, glanced around and then called out to several students wearing dark red school uniforms before walking inside.

Even if they didn’t understand what it was saying, it wasn’t hard to tell from its actions that it was calling them in.

After the students in dark red school uniforms went inside, Qiao Sang turned her head and asked:

“Are we not queuing?”

The people outside weren’t queuing, and the egg-shaped Pet was calling people in randomly, seemingly emphasizing a free-spirited approach.

“No need to queue.” Alva explained, “Teacher Madeline only divines for fated people. It’s said that if people queue up one by one according to the rules, it will affect the accuracy of Zeus Rice.”

Qiao Sang thought to herself that this was the first time she had heard such a statement. Speaking of which, could it be that You Na’s Zeus Mu’s divination was inaccurate last time because she wasn’t a fated person?

No, it should just be purely inaccurate. It wasn’t about her own problems last time.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang asked again:

“Is there any difference? Does the order of divination affect the accuracy of the divination?”

Whether or not to queue is just a difference in the order of entering for divination. Does this affect the accuracy?

“No.” Alva shook her head, “Zeus Rice has a fixed number of divinations each day. The exact number is unclear, but it’s impossible for everyone here to get a turn.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Understood, it means there’s no need to queue because you might not get a turn…

…

While Qiao Sang was waiting, at a huge training ground.

Thompson walked in with a rather unpleasant expression.

A black-haired boy wearing boxing gloves and sparring with his own Pet saw him, stopped his movements, and asked, “What’s wrong? You look terrible.”

“That Qiao Sang from Sainan High School also has a Ghost-type Pet,” Thompson said, walking to a seat on the side of the field and sitting down.

“A Ghost-type Pet?” The boy approached, surprised, and said, “What an unexpected attribute. I thought girls didn’t really like Pets of this attribute.”

“That’s not the most important thing.” Thompson looked at him and said in a deep voice, “The important thing is that her Ghost-type also has the Superpower System attribute.”

The boy sat down beside him, and upon hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then said in his usual tone, “You didn’t misread, did you? You know, having the Superpower System attribute and knowing one or two Superpower System skills are completely different.”

“I’m not an idiot, Ladke.” Thompson said, displeased, “That Ghost-type Pet can use telekinesis. Pets without the Superpower System cannot learn telekinesis.”

Ladke paused in the act of removing his boxing gloves, pondered for a moment, and then sighed:

“What kind of background does it take to acquire so many rare Pets?”

Thompson snorted lightly, “Isn’t it because she contracted a Little Steel Falcon?”

Ladke looked at him: “Did you just go looking for trouble with the Little Steel Falcon?”

Thompson remained silent.

Ladke felt a slight headache, knowing that this was an unspoken agreement.

He and Thompson grew up together, and he knew his family’s situation better than anyone else.

The reason Thompson disliked the Little Steel Falcon race so much, besides his father’s reason, was another reason others didn’t know.

Actually, Thompson loved Little Steel Falcons when he was little. Before his yu beast codex awakened, he kept saying that his first Pet would be a Little Steel Falcon. His family specially prepared a Little Steel Falcon that had just hatched from a Pet egg, so he could contract it as soon as his yu beast codex awakened.

He had spent a long time with that Little Steel Falcon, but then his father’s Fixed Armor Yoduo forcibly broke the contract and took that Little Steel Falcon with him.

Thompson was there at the time and clearly knew that the Little Steel Falcon left voluntarily.

This was a huge blow to the young Thompson at the time, so much so that the more he loved Little Steel Falcons before, the more he hated this race now. Every time he saw a Little Steel Falcon, he would give them a sour look.

However, bullying a Pet also depends on its owner, and Qiao Sang from Sainan High School was clearly not an easy target.

Ladke opened his mouth, just as he was about to analyze the pros and cons for his friend.

Thompson chuckled, “I know it’s during the exchange competition, but I just happened to see the Little Steel Falcon on the way here, so I told Toxic Erosion Eagle to spit on its head. Who knew it dodged it?”

“That’s a good thing.” Ladke breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “With so many people from different schools gathered here, it wouldn’t look good if things got out of hand.”

Thompson didn’t care: “What’s not good about it? Who can prove I did it on purpose? Besides, Toxic Erosion Eagle’s saliva would at most make the feathers on that part of the Little Steel Falcon’s head bald for a week. I think that Little Steel Falcon already looks a bit bald, so a little more won’t hurt.”

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, formed a hand seal, and summoned the Toxic Erosion Eagle.

“Why couldn’t you even spit accurately just now?” Thompson looked up at the Toxic Erosion Eagle and said, displeased.

“Du du…”

The Toxic Erosion Eagle lowered its head, looking as if to say, “I was wrong.”

At this moment, a cold breeze inexplicably blew in.

“Du… qiu!”

The Toxic Erosion Eagle’s nose tickled, and it uncontrollably sneezed.

Saliva splattered downwards.

“Du du!”

The Toxic Erosion Eagle realized something was wrong and quickly flapped its wings to fan the falling saliva to the side.

But even the most meticulous plan has its flaws, and a drop of saliva still fell.

Thompson only felt a chill on his head.

At the same time, his heart also chilled.

He seemed to realize something, and his expression froze.

“Cyril, you…” Ladke looked at his head, hesitating to speak.

“Du du…”

The Toxic Erosion Eagle silently retreated.

Thompson took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and reached up to touch and then pull at his head.

“Ah!!!”

Two seconds later, a scream suddenly echoed throughout the entire training ground.

…

The office door opened, and several students wearing the same style of school uniform walked out.

The creamy yellow Pet looked around, and as its gaze passed by the Little Steel Falcon, the Little Steel Falcon revealed its most brilliant smile.

“Lulu.”

The creamy yellow Pet was stunned for a moment, then called out to Qiao Sang and the others beside it, indicating that they could enter.

“How lucky.” Alva exclaimed, “It’s your turn so quickly. I won’t go in, I’ll wait for you outside.”

The luck was good, she had thought it might not be her turn… Qiao Sang sighed with emotion as she stepped forward and followed the main group inside.

Inside, she saw a woman with a high nose, thin lips, black hair, and brown eyes, as well as a Pet about seventy centimeters tall, mostly white, holding a stack of cards in its right hand.

Although their appearances were different, the ribbons on their bodies and the cards in their hands still showed a hint of Zeus Mu’s shadow.

Zeus Rice? So small? Qiao Sang glanced at its wrist and, sure enough, saw a miniature shrinking bracelet.

Madeline smiled and said, “Please sit wherever you like.”

There was a sofa nearby, and after the group sat down, Madeline said:

“Do you have any questions you’d like to ask? To ensure accuracy, I can only divine two questions for you.”

Qiao Sang thought to herself, so it’s not one person per divination, no wonder the people before came out so quickly…

Mai Ji thought for a moment and looked to the side: “Do you have anything you want to divine?”

The few people looked at each other, and Geta was the first to speak: “I do.”

Seeing that the other students didn’t respond for a moment, Mai Ji said, “Then you take the first question.”

Geta got up, came before Zeus Rice, and said seriously:

“I want to ask if I will inherit the family business in the future?”

Zeus Rice did not move.

Madeline smiled and said, “Distant events are unpredictable. Zeus Rice can only divine events within two days at most.”

Upon hearing this, Geta was a little disappointed and said:

“Then I’ll ask if I’ll have a chance to participate in the friendly match next.”

Madeline nodded to Zeus Rice.

Upon seeing its Yu Beast Master’s signal, Zeus Rice flicked the stack of cards in its hand upwards.

All the cards instantly froze in mid-air without any pattern.

Time in the air seemed to solidify.

A moment later, one of the cards suddenly lit up with a blue light, then flew towards Zeus Rice.

“Zeus.”

Zeus Rice glanced at the card face and made a sound.

Madeline translated, “You will be on the field.”

Geta smiled gracefully: “Thank you, I have no more questions.”

“Do you have any other questions?” Madeline asked.

After asking, she looked at Qiao Sang and said with a smile, “Don’t you want to experience the divination abilities of our Super Dormant Star Pet?”

Madeline was also present at the morning competition and knew that the girl in front of her was not from Super Dormant Star.

Did it sense that I am a fated person… Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment and asked:

“Can I divine about things that exist but I am not aware of?”

Madeline smiled and said, “Isn’t divination about pointing a direction for things you don’t know?”

Qiao Sang thought about it and felt it made sense, so she asked:

“I want to know if the next evolutionary form of the Liao Xing Hound is a single type or multiple types?”

Yarbao’s evolutionary form is completely new, with no direction, but she has the yu beast codex, so adding Points will definitely allow it to evolve without hindrance.

However, she is not sure if there is a more suitable evolutionary direction for Yarbao in the next stage, which is also the main reason she wants to accumulate Points to exchange for dream enlightenment stone.

Although the Yan Ling Dog and Liao Xing Hound that Yarbao evolved into have never appeared on Blue Star, the yu beast codex can accurately display their names every time, which makes her reasonably suspect that the forms of Yan Ling Dog and Liao Xing Hound have actually appeared on other planets.

And even the next stage of evolutionary forms.

Of course, if Zeus Rice divines that there is only one type, Qiao Sang will still accumulate Points to exchange for dream enlightenment stone.

After all, with the precedent of Zeus Mu, she doesn’t trust Zeus Rice’s divination abilities too much.

Everyone present was stunned, momentarily not understanding why Qiao Sang asked this question.

“That’s the Liao Xing Hound, right?” Madeline looked at Yarbao and asked in a confident tone.

During the friendly match in the morning, she had also used the Pet Identifier to identify it; now she was just confirming again.

“Ya.”

Yarbao nodded.

Yes, it is I.

“It is,” Qiao Sang said.

Madeline nodded to Zeus Rice.

Zeus Rice threw the cards that had just returned to its hand upwards again.

The cards froze.

Zeus Rice closed its eyes.

This time, it closed for a considerable period.

Zeus Rice frowned, then sweat beaded on its forehead.

In places unseen by others, the energy within its body was rapidly depleting.

After half a minute of such silence, Zeus Rice suddenly opened its eyes, and the cards in mid-air dropped to the ground.

Hugh Lewis and the others looked at the scene before them, exchanged glances, and saw confusion in each other’s eyes.

“Zeus…”

Zeus Rice shook its head at its Yu Beast Master.

Madeline looked at Qiao Sang and the Pet named Liao Xing Hound with a somewhat complicated expression, and said:

“Zeus Rice has exhausted its energy. I’m afraid it won’t be able to continue divining today. Please tell the others when you leave that they don’t need to wait anymore.”

Qiao Sang: “.”

As expected, I shouldn’t have hoped.

…

Seven PM, a five-star hotel within one kilometer of Sahe’er School.

Room 2703.

Qiao Sang stood by the huge floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the First District shrouded in night.

Sainan High School was generous, directly booking a room for each person in a five-star hotel.

This made Qiao Sang, who had to squeeze into a room with Yang Jiayi last time, feel a little unaccustomed.

She turned her head and saw Little Qunbao applying strengthening oil to Steel Treasure.

It seems that the team battle training in the past two days has also greatly improved the relationship between Little Qunbao and Steel Treasure… Qiao Sang thought with satisfaction.

After watching for a while, Qiao Sang asked:

“I see that your teamwork has also improved a lot these past two days. Do you want to go up and compete tomorrow?”
