Chapter 310: Chapter 297: The Way to Make a Fortune

Zhang Junli, a member of the San Song High School senior team’s individual combat group, was this hedgehog head.

He always gathered intelligence about other schools before each competition.

Adhering to the principle that money makes the world go round, the intelligence he obtained helped him achieve good results in the previous two National Campus League competitions.

"You said you don’t even know what she looks like, and her phone, according to you, isn’t working these days. What will you do if you can’t recognize her when the time comes?" The boy wearing a baseball cap asked.

"Don’t worry." Zhang Junli grinned and replied, "I’ve already arranged a secret code with her in advance. Besides, Shengshui Middle School doesn’t usually allow students to leave during this time. If someone does come out, who else could it possibly be but her?"

"That’s good." The boy wearing the baseball cap had asked for a while but finally seemed somewhat relieved.

Just then, the bell signaling the end of class at Shengshui Middle School reached outside the school gates.

Zhang Junli looked at his watch and said, "They’ve finished class, she should be out soon."

Ten minutes later.

No movement at the school gate.

"Just wait a bit longer," Zhang Junli said calmly.

The boy wearing the baseball cap didn’t say anything.

Fifteen minutes later, a gust of wind blew, raising dust from the ground.

Still no movement at the school gate.

Not a person in sight, not even an ant crawling out.

"Just wait! She must be about to come out!" Zhang Junli gritted his teeth and said.

The boy wearing a baseball cap looked at the sky and patted Zhang Junli’s shoulder, asking, "Take a look, doesn’t it feel like it’s about to rain?"

Zhang Junli looked up at the sky and replied, "How could it be? There’s no rain forecasted for today."

"Could the weather forecast be wrong?" the boy wearing a baseball cap asked, pointing at a medium-sized pet beast flying through the sky, worriedly saying, "Look at that Hengheng Bird, it’s not even flapping its wings."

High school common knowledge: Hengheng Birds don’t like to flap their wings when rain is approaching, instead they glide through the air using air currents.

"Where is it?" Zhang Junli looked around.

In the brief moment his gaze was diverted, Qiao Sang rode up to the entrance of Shengshui Middle School on Yaobao.

Since contracting Lubao, Qiao Sang’s sense of the weather had become much more acute. She looked up at the sky and said, "Yaobao, it looks like it’s about to rain. Do you want to go to the Beast Taming Codex first?"

"Yaobao."

Yaobao nodded, indicating no problem.

Seeing that Yaobao agreed, Qiao Sang waved her hand and took Yaobao back into the Codex.

Just as she was about to enter the school gate, a hushed yet shouting voice came from behind: "Why did you only come out now! We’ve been waiting a long time!"

Turning around, Qiao Sang saw two boys she didn’t recognize. Before she could even ask who they were, the hedgehog-haired boy hurried over, excitedly saying:

"Who is Lin Ya!"

Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment and unconsciously replied, "A man like a god."

"That’s right! The secret code matches! It’s her!" Zhang Junli turned to the boy wearing the baseball cap, saying excitedly.

The boy wearing the baseball cap was also unable to hide his excitement.

They looked over with eagerness in their eyes.

It was one thing to arrange a secret code for meeting up, but to make it so simple... Qiao Sang quickly realized these two had mistaken her for someone else. While internally criticizing the situation, she began to explain, "You guys..."

At that moment, Zhang Junli took out a blue Lulu crystal from his pocket and spoke up, "I’ve brought the thing. Where’s your intelligence?"

Qiao Sang narrowed her eyes, her words swallowing back down as the information about the deep blue crystal flashed through her mind.

Lanlucrystal, a material exclusive for Water-type Pet Beasts.

With countless Pet Beasts, not even the most skilled Pet Beast Forgers and Breeders could recognize all the materials related to Pet Beasts in the world.

Someone like Qiao Sang, an academic slacker, would be even less likely.

But there are always some materials that are memorable.

One such example is the Lanlucrystal.

Not only is it a special product of the Yuhua Region, but its odd origin story adds to its memorability.

The Lanlucrystal isn’t a natural mineral crystal; it’s formed from the eyes of a King-level Pet Beast, the Early Ring Sea Snail, after dozens or even hundreds of years under extremely low temperatures and high pressures.

The reason it’s considered peculiar is due to an additional condition.

Only Early Ring Sea Snails with severe myopia, and I’m talking about those below 600 degrees, can form Lanlucrystals.

Another point about Lanlucrystals which remains fresh in people’s memories—

Although formed from the eyes of myopic Early Ring Sea Snails, the potions refined from them can improve the vision of Water-type Pet Beasts, making distant objects appear as crisp as if viewed through an eight-times scope.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but think to herself that these two men seemed not to know the person they were really supposed to meet...

If she wasn’t mistaken, the person they were waiting for should be a student from Shengshui Middle School. They didn’t question the gender or age; either they were clueless about that too, or it was a mere coincidence they had bumped into her.

And since students at Shengshui Middle School are mostly boarders with little chance to go out, the information they could know was mostly within the school.

In just a few seconds, Qiao Sang had brainstormed for quite a while.

"Why aren’t you talking?" Zhang Junli asked.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment before saying, "What information do you want?"

"About the new member of the senior high school team!" Zhang Junli said. "I want detailed information about this person!"

Qiao Sang: "???"

So after all this, the information you want is about me?

"You have indeed found the right person," Qiao Sang said sincerely. "No one knows her better than I do!"

"I told you we found the right person!" Zhang Junli turned his head and bragged to the boy in the baseball cap, then looked at Qiao Sang and said, "Come on, the more detailed, the better!"

"Her name is Qiao Sang, 15 years old, female, in Class One of Grade One," Qiao Sang earnestly said. "She is distinguished in appearance, diligent in her studies, and has an optimistic outlook. She has a Flame Listening Dog and a Treasure-seeking Demon. Some time ago, she also contracted a Pet Beast, which witnesses claim was blue, so most likely a Water-type Pet Beast."

"Hiss..." Zhang Junli took a sharp breath, his eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "Flame Listening Dog?! Treasure-seeking Demon?! And another Pet Beast?! Three in total?! At 15? In grade one? Are you sure?!"

"Sure." Qiao Sang put her hand to her mouth, lowering her voice to say,

"The last piece of news is being talked about in the school, but not many have confirmed it to be true yet. However, I can assure you, it is indeed true, and I’ve never shared this news with anyone else before; you are the exclusive recipient."

After speaking, Qiao Sang fixed her gaze on the Lanlucrystal in his hand.

Zhang Junli instantly understood, handing her the Lanlucrystal and said earnestly, "If what you’ve said is true, then you’ve really helped me a lot!"

Qiao Sang accepted the Lanlucrystal, her smile as sincere as could be, "Not at all, it’s my pleasure. Remember to come to me again if there’s anything else you want to find out."

"Definitely!" Zhang Junli promised, thumping his chest.

The boy in the baseball cap looked on, his expression bizarre.

He had seen people sell information like secret agents making a covert exchange; he had never seen a student so happily betraying their own school’s information.

After the two men had gone, Qiao Sang weighed the Lanlucrystal in her hand and pondered for a moment.

She seemed to have discovered a way to make money...
