Chapter 765: Star Communication (two in one)

“The Quiet-Staring Ladybug has fallen under the Ghost Ring King’s Dark Shadow Control attack!” the Commentator passionately announced. “Will this battle end here?!”

The mechanical Pet referee flew over to the Quiet-Staring Ladybug, observed for a moment, then blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.

As soon as the whistle blew, the Commentator’s voice rang out: “Let’s congratulate Qiao Sang for winning this round!”

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Ghost Ring King! Ghost Ring King!”

“Flame Qilu! Flame Qilu!”

The cheers in the arena erupted, creating an enthusiastic atmosphere, the kind only high-popularity players could generate.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao was startled by so many voices calling its name, then enthusiastically waved its paws towards the audience.

…

Qiao Sang returned from the passage. She had barely taken a few steps inside when she saw a tall, slender figure leaning against the wall.

“Congratulations on your victory,” Apollo said, walking quickly towards her with a smile.

Qiao Sang was taken aback. “Are you waiting here specifically for me?”

Apollo was a little surprised that Qiao Sang would ask so directly. He put away his smile, became serious, and frankly said:

“Yes, there’s something I’d like to ask of you. Can we find a place to talk properly?”

Qiao Sang took out her phone, checked the time, and looked up. “Yes, but we might need to add another person.”

Apollo quickly said, “No problem!”

…

Twenty minutes later.

Coffee shop.

Apollo, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, sat in a corner.

“Do you want to take off your mask?” Qiao Sang asked.

“I’m worried someone might disturb us,” Apollo said tactfully.

As he spoke, he looked at the black-haired girl in front of him with a strange expression.

This place was not far from where the Beastmaster Star Tournament was held. Many people who followed the tournament were in the vicinity, and quite a few had traveled specifically from other places.

Logically, the girl in front of him should be the most-watched player in the recent matches, yet the people around them seemed not to recognize her, all minding their own business. Even the people at the next table were the same, which was quite unusual.

Her face was clearly memorable.

At this moment, Pilit took a sip of coffee and calmly said:

“Don’t worry, I’ve had my Pet sprinkle us with sense-dulling powder.”

Apollo suddenly understood upon hearing this.

Sense-dulling powder, a powder naturally produced by some Grass-type Pets, reduces a person’s presence. Even if you interact with them face-to-face, it makes people subconsciously forget their appearance.

When exactly was the sense-dulling powder sprinkled? He hadn’t noticed at all… Apollo’s heart tightened, and he instinctively became wary of the older man Qiao Sang brought.

Then he remembered his own business, not daring to delay any longer. He took off his mask, looked at Qiao Sang, and said solemnly:

“I want you to have Ice Aipalu help me heal someone.”

I knew it… Qiao Sang asked calmly, “Who is it?”

“It’s my father,” Apollo said with a heavy tone. “He has pancreatic cancer, and it’s already in the advanced stage. The doctor told me that unless I could find doctors with Super-level Healing skills, I searched for a long time and finally found one. I managed to get him to agree, but after he asked about my father’s condition, he told me he couldn’t cure him.”

“That’s when I realized that even Super-level Healing skills have differences.”

As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Sang, his eyes shining with hope: “I’ve looked into it. Ice Aipalu’s Healing Light can do it! Miss Qiao Sang, if you agree to help me with the Healing, I’ll agree to anything!”

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then nodded:

“Okay…”

Before she could state her terms, Apollo suddenly sprang up from his chair, his face excited: “This is, this is too much! Thank you!”

The people around them heard the commotion and looked over, but quickly looked away, uncaring.

Apollo realized his lapse in composure and quickly sat down, trying to keep his voice calm: “What do you want me to do?”

“I want you to join a Yu Beast Master club,” Qiao Sang said.

Pilit: “???”

Pilit looked at Qiao Sang in surprise.

A Yu Beast Master club?

How did Qiao Sang get involved with a Yu Beast Master club?

Qiao Sang’s expression was calm.

She had already thought about it. Although You Na only asked her to join the Yu Beast Master club as a team member in exchange for shares, it would actually be a long time before she reached the King-level and participated in inter-stellar competitions.

Currently, the Yu Beast Master club was in its initial phase and desperately lacked famous, high-quality team members. As a four-time champion of the Pet Arena Championship, Apollo possessed both strength and fame, and he was also from Super Dormant Star. He would develop here in the future. With him joining the Yu Beast Master club, it would definitely bring the Super Dormant Yu Beast Master Club into public view in a short time.

“I can!” Apollo nodded without hesitation.

After speaking, he eagerly asked, “Can you help with the Healing today? My father is at a nearby hospital. I can sign the contract to join the Yu Beast Master club right now!”

“No need,” Qiao Sang said with a smile. “I’ll give you a contact. You can just contact them about the contract.”

“Then my father…” Apollo’s heart sank again.

“The illness can be treated now,” Qiao Sang added.

“Thank you! Thank you so much!” Apollo once again excitedly sprang up from his chair.

…

The hospital was only three kilometers away.

Going there, completing the treatment, and coming back only took half an hour in total.

In the sky.

Pilit finally couldn’t help but ask, “How did you get involved with a Yu Beast Master club?”

“A former high school classmate of mine started a Yu Beast Master club, and I’m a shareholder,” Qiao Sang didn’t hide it. “I figured I’d be returning to Blue Star soon and wouldn’t be much help, so I wanted to introduce some talent.”

High school classmate…

Is this Yu Beast Master club legitimate?

It won’t go bankrupt soon, will it…

Is it too much of a waste to have a four-time Pet Arena Championship champion join such a Yu Beast Master club…

However, this Yu Beast Master club will probably go bankrupt soon, and a brief “sell-out” in exchange for his father’s recovery seems quite worth it… Pilit stopped thinking about it and changed the subject:

“Did you gain anything from today’s match?”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:

“I think I should come up with more hand signal commands. In case I encounter a situation where my Pet can’t hear my commands again, I can use hand signals to make my Pet understand.”

As she spoke, Qiao Sang seemed to think of something and asked:

“What are the Spiritual Marks on Molly Ding-Ding and Quiet-Staring Ladybug for? I didn’t feel them during the battle.”

Pilit was silent for a moment: “They can make Pets unleash higher energy than usual.”

So that’s it… Qiao Sang suddenly understood.

At this moment, Pilit said, “Your Ghost Ring King doesn’t have a decisive offensive skill; it mainly relies on Dark Shadow Control, but Dark Shadow Control focuses on control.”

He paused, then suggested:

“I suggest you have Ghost Ring King practice more offensive skills for a while, or combine Dark Shadow with a certain offensive skill to form a combination skill, like the previous combination of Dark Shadow and Dark Shadow Control, which was very good.”

Qiao Sang heard this, thought about it, found it reasonable, and nodded:

“I understand.”

…

10:03 PM.

Qiao Sang returned to the villa and immediately saw the Vice Principal in the kitchen.

“Vice Principal, you’re back so early today,” Qiao Sang said, surprised.

“Thanks to you, all the material matters were settled ahead of time,” Liu Yao said, bringing out two plates of Energy Pills. “Come on, have Ya Bao and the others try them. They’re freshly made. See how they taste.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao instantly jumped out of its Yu Beast Master’s arms, ran to the Energy Pills, and began to eat happily.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao teleported to another plate of Energy Pills, extended its paw, and was about to pick one up when Liu Yao quickly pulled the plate away.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao looked at the human who usually made delicious food, showing a puzzled expression.

“These aren’t for you,” Liu Yao brought another plate of Energy Pills from the kitchen, placed them in front of Xiao Xunbao, and smiled, “These are yours.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao happily grabbed and ate them.

Liu Yao looked at Qiao Sang: “Bring out Lu Bao and Steel Treasure too.”

“Ice Ai.”

As soon as he spoke, Lu Bao jumped out from behind her.

Qiao Sang made hand seals and summoned Steel Treasure.

Lu Bao came to the Energy Pills, took a bite, instinctively wagged its tail, and showed a satisfied expression.

After Steel Treasure took a bite, it paused, then without a word, lowered its head and took another bite.

“Are these four types of Energy Pills all specially re-made?” Qiao Sang asked.

“That’s right.” Liu Yao saw that Ya Bao and the others seemed to like them, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his steady face.

Qiao Sang immediately said, “Thank you, Vice Principal!”

“It’s what I should do,” Liu Yao waved his hand, indicating not to worry.

Then, he thought of something and said:

“Oh, I’ve finished all five of your books. I’ll bring them to your room later.”

Finally finished! My points! Qiao Sang was overjoyed internally, but on the surface, she smiled slightly: “No hurry, just give them to me tomorrow at breakfast.”

…

Qiao Sang returned to her room and began to ponder Xiao Xunbao’s combination skills.

To be honest, Xiao Xunbao had many offensive skills, but if she had to combine them with Dark Shadow, there were quite a few limitations. After all, Dark Shadow was just an illusion, so close-range moves like Mind Headbutt and Chop definitely wouldn’t work.

Ghost Fire and Shadow Ball could work. Although the power might not increase much, from a visual effect standpoint, it would at least be scarier than Xiao Xunbao casting them alone…

If coupled with the Pressure characteristic, it might play a certain role…

Speaking of which, Xiao Xunbao’s Ghost Fire had already reached Profound Meaning, but it was a pity she hadn’t seen it use it many times…

While she was thinking, her phone rang.

Qiao Sang picked it up and saw it was You Na calling.

She answered the phone, and You Na’s voice on the speaker was unusually excited: “How did you manage to poach Apollo?”

That was Apollo Nowitzki! The most famous star player among current C-level Beastmasters!

“Didn’t he tell you?” Qiao Sang asked.

You Na said sheepishly, “I was too excited; I forgot to ask.”

Qiao Sang smiled: “He asked me for a Healing Light.”

“So that’s it…” You Na immediately understood what had happened.

Recently, Ice Aipalu and Healing Light had been trending in the top few spots, and she had seen it.

“I have a suggestion,” You Na suddenly said.

Qiao Sang was taken aback: “What suggestion?”

“I suggest you create an inter-stellar account during this period,” You Na shared her idea. “That way, even if you return to Blue Star later, people here on Super Dormant Star can still follow you.”

Qiao Sang heard this and smiled: “What a coincidence, I was just thinking of creating an account too.”

She had this idea tonight when she saw those people who wanted Healing Light constantly rushing towards her in the arena.

“Once you create it, tell me your ID! I want to be your first fan!” You Na said impatiently.

“No problem.”

After chatting for a couple of sentences, Qiao Sang hung up the phone, opened StarNet, and downloaded an application called “StarCom.”

Almost all registered users on this application were humans from different planets, making it one of the very popular applications on Blue Star.

However, logging in required using StarNet, and StarNet cost money, so Qiao Sang had never thought of downloading it before.

She pondered in the “Nickname” field and finally entered the six large characters: Genius You You You Mu.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao floated over, sweetly called out, indicating if it could play on the computer now.

Qiao Sang looked at it and suddenly said, “Give me some Pressure to feel.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao didn’t understand why, but still subconsciously adjusted its aura.

Its brows furrowed, showing an expression of “I’m staring…”

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “You go practice Pressure first.”

Xiao Xunbao: “???”

It didn’t understand!

Wasn’t it here to ask if it could play on the computer?

How did it end up not playing on the computer and having to train instead?!

…

The next day.

Qiao Sang took the five books the Vice Principal had given her at breakfast and, during class break, had Xiao Xunbao teleport to the library to return them.

6:30 PM.

Outdoor Yu Beast Master Arena.

“Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Beastmaster Star Tournament!” The Commentator’s passionate voice echoed throughout the venue:

“Today, the semi-finalists will be decided! Which star players will it be?!”

“Apollo! Apollo!”

“Stella! Stella!”

“Ilkay! Ilkay!”

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

Everyone loudly cheered for their supported star players.

Qiao Sang was surprised to find that the audience shouting her name was just as loud as those for others.

“Let’s look at the big screen!” the Commentator continued.

Photos on the giant virtual screen appeared, rapidly interchanging, and after more than ten seconds, they froze.

Qiao Sang saw her opponent, Stella.

“Stella, 34 years old, C-level Professional Beast Tamer,” Pilit said. “She has a lot of battle experience, so be careful.”

Qiao Sang smiled slightly: “Isn’t that exactly the kind of experienced opponent I need?”

Pilit was startled at first, then smiled: “You’re right.”
