Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 577: Assessment
Zhongkong University? The top-ranked university? Qiao Sang paused, then asked, “Can they arrive in a week?”
Tang Yi explained, “Zhongkong University also has people on Super Dormant Star. They will notify the people here to conduct the assessment. The entire assessment process will be recorded and then sent back.”
So that’s how it is… Qiao Sang immediately said, “Okay, I’ll go up and take a look.”
Without further conversation, Qiao Sang hung up the phone.
She pulled down her screen and connected to the Star Net.
The regular internet can only connect to places covered by signals within the planet, but the Star Net achieves information sharing throughout the universe by connecting various celestial bodies.
Correspondingly, it costs more, so Qiao Sang rarely opened it.
She typed in the four characters “Zhongkong University.”
And clicked on the official website.
Qiao Sang quickly found the special recruitment application portal.
Nowadays, online applications are convenient. Even if there’s no single-inch photo to upload in the phone’s background, one can directly use facial recognition to take a photo.
After filling in the information one by one, Qiao Sang looked through the assessment content.
[Pet Energy Value Test (Full Score 50), Pet 2V2 Battle Test (Full Score 150), Pet Doubles Test (Full Score 150), Secret Realm Survival Test (Full Score 200)]
Secret Realm Survival Test? Qiao Sang stared at the last test item, momentarily stunned. She thought, Zhiya University’s was only a Secret Realm simulation survival test, but Zhongkong University’s is directly a Secret Realm survival test? But what about Super Dormant Star, where there are no Secret Realms?
If she couldn’t figure something out, she’d ask someone else.
Qiao Sang quickly opened her chat app, found Tang Yi, and sent a message:
[Have you seen the test content? Do you know how the Secret Realm Survival Test is assessed?]
Tang Yi didn’t reply, but directly sent a voice call.
Qiao Sang answered, and Tang Yi’s voice came through the speaker:
“I’ve seen it. The Secret Realm Survival Test is basically letting people stay in a Secret Realm for one night, but there’s basically no danger. Zhongkong University always chooses Secret Realms with the lowest danger coefficient, where every area and its Pets have been marked. The school will designate a certain range for you to move freely, and teachers will follow in the dark throughout the process, responsible for protection and recording.”
“Then how do we test? Super Dormant Star doesn’t have Secret Realms,” Qiao Sang asked.
“That I don’t know,” Tang Yi said. “I heard about the Secret Realm Survival Test from people who had been assessed before, but I don’t know anyone who was assessed as an Interstellar Exchange Student like us.”
Before Qiao Sang could say anything, Tang Yi on the other end comforted her:
“Don’t worry, no matter what the Secret Realm survival assessment turns into, you’ll definitely be fine. For you, just focus more on the cultural score for the college entrance exam.”
So you know my cultural score isn’t good, right?… Qiao Sang felt helpless internally and said, “I understand.”
After speaking, she hung up the phone.
At this moment, a pleasant voice unexpectedly and leisurely sounded behind her: “Qiao Sang…”
Qiao Sang was startled.
To be honest, ever since she received the feedback and her hearing improved, it had been a long time since she had been startled by such an abrupt sound.
She turned her head and saw a meticulously dressed Caucasian girl, Levina, sitting on the landscape bench behind her.
“When did you get here?” Qiao Sang asked with a complicated expression.
“When you took your first call…” Levina also realized that her speaking had startled the other party. She smiled and said, “Perhaps you were too focused just now, so you didn’t notice.”
Indeed, her attention was completely on the registration earlier… Qiao Sang went and sat down next to her.
Yabao followed closely, jumping onto its Yu Beast Master’s lap.
Levina’s gaze fell on Yabao, unable to move away: “Your Liao Xing Hound seems to really like wearing sunglasses?”
“Ya.”
Yabao stylishly pushed up its sunglasses with its paw.
Because there were many people just now, it had to maintain its image… Qiao Sang smiled and said, “It really likes them.”
Then she thought of something and asked, “Why are you outside? Aren’t you going in?”
“I came specifically to find you,” Levina said with a serious expression. “You’re right, contracting a Pet with a completely new evolution chain does require careful consideration. Let’s exchange contact information, and I’ll give you an answer before you return to Blue Star.”
“Okay.” Qiao Sang did not refuse. She could tell that the other party genuinely liked Yabao’s appearance.
After exchanging contact information, Levina felt that her relationship with Qiao Sang had become much closer. She smiled and said, “I actually overheard your conversation just now. Were you asking about the special recruitment assessment?”
Qiao Sang suddenly understood the awkwardness of having one’s phone conversation overheard.
What if she had said something she shouldn’t have? Fortunately, everything she said was normal… Qiao Sang mumbled a complaint while giving a soft “Mm.”
“I didn’t mean to listen,” Levina said, immediately realizing this involved privacy. She quickly explained, “It’s just that after my brain domain broke through 20%, my hearing became very clear.”
I understand, that’s how I got here… Qiao Sang nodded:
“I know.”
Seeing that Qiao Sang didn’t misunderstand her, Levina relaxed. She smiled again and said, “Our school also has two exchange students from other planets. Do you want me to ask them how they were assessed?”
“No need.” Qiao Sang refused.
Tang Yi was right; with her current strength, no matter what the assessment changed into, she should have no problem. This wasn’t a written exam where getting the questions in advance would guarantee a perfect score.
…
One day later.
Third District.
Sainan High School.
Dormitory Area 1.
Dorm 502.
Qiao Sang opened her computer, logged onto the school’s official website, and couldn’t help but smile as she looked at her 800 points.
On the way back, Mabel, who was with her, separately touched Yabao and the others, directly bringing her points to 800, perfectly making up for her two late deductions.
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang picked up her phone, opened the chat app, found Mabel, and sent her a message:
[Contact me if you want to touch them again in the future]
Mabel did not reply.
Qiao Sang closed her phone, and her peripheral vision caught Steel Treasure staring at the trembling Chan Chan Stone with a thoughtful expression. She asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Ganggang.” Steel Treasure barked, indicating that Chan Chan Stone wasn’t producing much food when eating chili now.
Hearing this, Qiao Sang looked at Chan Chan Stone.
“Chan Chan…”
Chan Chan Stone showed a tearful expression. It also really wanted to sweat! Otherwise, who knew what insane things this guy would do to it! But, but it wasn’t something it could just produce whenever it wanted!
Qiao Sang looked at Chan Chan Stone and thought for a moment before saying, “Is it because it’s eaten too much spicy food and become immune?”
“Ganggang…”
Steel Treasure showed an “Oh, I see” expression.
It stared at Chan Chan Stone, realizing it would have to think of other methods.
“Chan Chan…”
Chan Chan Stone’s eyes welled up, feeling like it was doomed.
At this moment, Qiao Sang said, “Since it’s immune to the current chili, then get it something spicier to eat.”
“Chan Chan…”
Chan Chan Stone looked at that hateful human. Compared to other unknown methods, it wasn’t entirely against eating chili now…
Qiao Sang continued, “Actually, just eating chili all the time will definitely get boring. I’ll make some spicy food later, so Chan Chan Stone might like eating it more.”
“Ganggang.”
Steel Treasure thought for a moment, then nodded, indicating that this method was acceptable.
“Chan Chan…”
Chan Chan Stone stared blankly at Qiao Sang, feeling that this human didn’t seem so hateful after all…
…
For the next few days, Qiao Sang did not leave the school to participate in the Pet arena battles at Hejin Building.
The assessment was approaching, and adjusting her state was the most important thing, as no one knew when the special recruitment assessment would take place.
Although Lu Bao had Healing Light, psychological fatigue could not be eliminated.
On the seventh day after returning to school, Qiao Sang and Tang Yi were called to the office by their homeroom teacher, Mu Deli.
She introduced a man in a black suit in the office:
“This is Teacher Qu, sent by Zhongkong University of your Blue Star Dragon Country to assess you.”
“Hello,” the man said with a smile. “I will be fully responsible for your assessment this time. Since the assessment is not on Blue Star, the last item, the Secret Realm Survival Test, cannot be completed. So we’ve changed the assessment item. I’ve already requested a week’s leave for you. Pack your things and prepare to go to the Lower Tenth District with me.”
PS: Thanks to Boss Leng Huanzi for the reward! And thank you all for yesterday’s monthly votes! Waking up this morning to briefly see myself in first place really startled me.
