Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 613: I will definitely live up to my mission!

The next day.

Qiao Sang left her dorm in a black and white skirt school uniform.

After taking Yabao and the others to their usual spot, she went to the classroom.

Unlike usual, the classroom was surrounded by students from other classes, all discussing the Little Steel Falcon’s new evolution.

The school had few people, and everyone was basically in the same circle, so the news had already spread throughout the school by last night.

It was difficult for people like them to be uniformly interested in a particular thing.

But when it came to a Pet’s new form, even the children of wealthy families, who were used to good things, found it hard not to be interested.

What’s more, the person with the new form Pet was currently in their school.

“I heard it’s a bond evolution.”

“You wouldn’t believe it, when I heard the news yesterday, I was stunned!”

“Bond evolution? That’s just a guess, right? How could a species like the Little Steel Falcon possibly undergo bond evolution?”

Listening to the voices ahead, Qiao Sang arrived at the entrance of Senior Three, Class Six, and prepared to walk in, pretending not to know anything.

“Qiao Sang!” Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice rang out.

Everyone instantly quieted down.

So many people actually still saw me… Qiao Sang reluctantly turned her head, looking towards the source of the voice.

The owner of the voice was Mabel, who had recently gone with her to the First District to participate in the team competition.

Mabel was already a shy person, and seeing everyone quiet down because of her shout, she immediately looked embarrassed and flustered.

However, seeing Qiao Sang stop and look at her, the desire in her heart to see the Little Steel Falcon’s new form instantly took over.

“Is what everyone’s saying true? Did the Little Steel Falcon really evolve into a new form?” Mabel asked, her eyes sparkling.

Everyone looked at Qiao Sang, waiting for her answer.

Although the news had come from Senior Three, Class Six, and some students connected to the school board had confirmed it, it still needed to be personally admitted by the person involved.

“Mm.” Qiao Sang responded.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stirred.

“Can you summon it for us to see?” a female student next to her asked excitedly.

Sigh, class is almost starting, and with so many of you surrounding me, it’s not good to summon it… Qiao Sang complained inwardly, not answering immediately.

At this moment, Mabel seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up, and she said loudly:

“I’ll offer 2 points! No, 3 points! I’ll offer 3 points! Summon the Little Steel Falcon’s new evolution for me to touch!”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then her smile became exceptionally bright. She stepped forward, took Mabel’s hand, and tried to pull her to a less crowded place:

“You said it, 3 points. I’ll find a place right now to summon it for you to touch.”

Seeing this, everyone seemed to understand something.

The crowd, which had been stirring a second ago, became even more agitated the next second.

“I’ll also give 3 points!”

“Let’s do it together, I can also give you 3 points!”

“Let me touch it first! I’ll offer 4 points!”

“Don’t randomly inflate the market price, okay! 5 points! Let me be the first to touch it!”

“Alright, alright! Don’t rush, everyone! One by one, everyone will get a turn!” Hearing the people around her, Qiao Sang said enthusiastically, her face almost splitting with laughter.

She hadn’t expected such a big surprise first thing in the morning—a group of people lining up to give her points!

Just based on the number of people, even if the school only gave the normal 20 points for a Beginner Pet evolving to Intermediate, her 1000 points would definitely be enough!

After the second class in the morning, Qiao Sang looked at the 1121 points on the school’s official website on her phone, and her smile was unstoppable.

I’m rich! Not only did I gather 1000 points, but I also got 121 more!

If this were through the usual means of obtaining points, she would have to rank first in the class 12 times to get the additional 121 points.

Normally, let alone 12 times, she couldn’t even rank first once.

But now! In just one morning! She earned 324 points!

Of the three plans written last month, besides the second one, to score 300 points on the monthly exam, which she missed because she went to District 25 for Zhongkong University’s special recruitment, the first plan, to evolve the Little Steel Falcon within a month, and the third plan, to reach 1000 points before graduation, had both been completed ahead of schedule, and even “exceeded”!

Qiao Sang took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement, and clicked on the points exchange tab, ready to exchange for the dream enlightenment stone she had coveted for a long time.

But the moment she clicked on the points exchange tab and scrolled through, Qiao Sang’s expression froze.

Where’s the dream enlightenment stone?!

Where’s my dream enlightenment stone that requires 1000 points to exchange?!

Stay calm, stay calm, maybe the item order is different… Qiao Sang calmed herself, clicked to sort the points from highest to lowest, and carefully looked through everything from top to bottom.

Then she was completely dumbfounded.

It’s gone, the dream enlightenment stone is gone… Qiao Sang, who couldn’t even control her smile a minute ago, now had a completely stiff expression, finding it hard to accept this reality for a moment.

Just then, the homeroom teacher appeared at the door and called out:

“Qiao Sang, come out for a moment.”

Qiao Sang was still immersed in the blow of the dream enlightenment stone being gone and didn’t move.

“The teacher is calling you.” You Na, next to her, nudged Qiao Sang, reminding her.

“Oh.” Qiao Sang then stood up in a daze and walked out of the classroom, not quite herself.

Mu Deli, the homeroom teacher, looked at her and said with a beaming smile:

“The Flying-type Pet Research Institute has sent researchers who want to see your Little Steel Falcon.”

“Oh.” Qiao Sang responded numbly.

Mu Deli saw that Qiao Sang seemed a bit out of sorts, but didn’t think much of it. After all, many important people were waiting, and meeting the people sent by the Research Institute was the priority.

Qiao Sang followed behind Mu Deli.

The two arrived at a Pet training hall.

At this time, there were no students in the training hall, only a few middle-aged men and women in formal attire, including the principal of Sainan High School.

“This is Qiao Sang.” As the principal introduced her, a rare smile appeared on his usually stern face.

“Hello, I am Wang Rui from the Third District Flying-type Pet Research Institute.” The man with black hair and black eyes, a typical Longguo appearance, introduced himself.

“Hello.” Qiao Sang had already managed her expression.

The world of social interaction is like this; no matter how bitter you feel inside, you always have to smile on the surface, unless you have reached a level where social interaction is no longer necessary.

Qiao Sang clearly hadn’t; she was still just a struggling student.

“I’m here because I want to see your Little Steel Falcon’s new form.” Wang Rui got straight to the point:

“Any new form of a Pet is of great significance to the Alliance, and the higher-ups also hope that I can quickly understand how the Little Steel Falcon’s new form evolved.”

“If it’s a bond evolution, I hope you can explain how you usually interact with the Little Steel Falcon. If it’s not a bond evolution, then I hope you can cooperate with our Research Institute for relevant research during your time on Super Dormant Star.”

You want me to cooperate without any benefits? What are you thinking? When Yabao evolved into a Yan Ling Dog, the Vice Principal gave me a monthly salary of 100,000 as an intern researcher. I don’t want to hear any of those grand principles about serving the Alliance… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but complain inwardly. It was pre-college entrance exam season, and she didn’t want to work for free.

Just then, the principal’s voice rang out beside her:

“Oh, and I’ve already discussed it with the school board members. The dream enlightenment stone will be delivered to your dorm after school this afternoon, as a reward for you discovering a new Pet species for the Alliance.”

“This time, you must cooperate well with Researcher Wang Rui’s research. This is an honor.”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Qiao Sang was filled with righteous indignation:

“I will not fail in my mission!”
