Chapter 413: Chapter 392: There’s Such a Good Thing...

Qiao Sang had grown accustomed to the silence that settled over the classroom as soon as she walked in.

This time, however, the atmosphere was somewhat different from before.

As Qiao Sang took her seat, she immediately felt that the gazes of her classmates upon her were a bit strange.

If she had to describe it, it was like the conflicted feeling before watching a horror movie—you want to watch but are too scared to look.

Could it be that Xiao Xunbao had shown up wearing makeup?

Qiao Sang glanced in the direction where Xiao Xunbao usually was, only to find it still invisible.

At that moment, the student sitting in front of her turned around and said, "Qiao Sang, congratulations on taking the championship."

Having said that, she added, "Especially the match with the Liaoxing Dog, I saw it, super cool!"

Although the student in front seemed not much different from usual, Qiao Sang could still detect a slight nervousness.

It seemed that her own victory with Yaobao over Ding Yanjing in a split second had indeed stimulated them... After all, Qiao Sang wasn’t truly 15 years old and could understand the psychology of adolescents during puberty well.

Most teenagers in puberty are both fragile and sensitive; they dare not approach someone who suddenly emerges as completely incomparable to themselves.

Of course, some would still choose to approach, as long as the signals they sent out were reciprocated.

Just like the current desk mate.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment, then said, "I’m not the champion, I just got first place in the province."

The desk mate: "???"

Listen to that! Is that even something a person would say?!

Qiao Sang continued, "Right, could you lend me your recent notes? As you know, I haven’t been in class recently, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up."

To dispel the psychological resistance of teenagers in puberty was rather simple—to indirectly reveal that you are not much different from them.

The desk mate paused for a moment, "I never take notes."

Qiao Sang: "..."

Oh, right, almost forgot that a study god doesn’t need notes...

News about Qiao Sang quickly spread throughout the school.

During each class, students from other classes no longer perched boldly at the windows to stare inside, but instead pretended to casually pass by the door of Class One from time to time, sneaking a glance inside without making it obvious.

Qiao Sang was chatting idly with Jin Feifan in the classroom.

"Ah, the gap between us is so big. I didn’t even make it into the top 30, whereas you took first place, and in the senior grade no less," Jin Feifan lamented.

A corner of Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, "Put away your perfect-score test paper before you talk to me."

"It was just a mock exam," mumbled Jin Feifan as she tucked the test paper into her drawer. "Tests these days don’t really count for much."

Did you forget that you went to compete a while ago? You score perfect without attending classes, and now you’re telling me it doesn’t count for much? Qiao Sang glanced at her and said:

"My first place doesn’t count for much either, it’s just the provincial competition after all."

Jin Feifan: "..."

At that moment, Qiao Sang asked, "Who from the first-year team made it into the division competition?"

Jin Feifan was used to the fact that her top-class desk mate didn’t follow the first-year school team chat. She whispered, "Lu You made it, he got second place."

Qiao Sang turned her head to look in the direction of Lu You’s seat, only to see it was empty.

Jin Feifan went on, "There’s also Zheng Yining from the coordination group, she was third."

Qiao Sang wasn’t too familiar with most of the people in the first-year school team, but she recognized Zheng Yining as one of those she knew. She quickly remembered Zheng Yining’s Pet Beast.

It looks like her own evaluation wasn’t wrong; Long-Eared Cats really are well-suited for coordination competitions.

...

Classes were dull, boring, and seemed to drag on forever, yet whenever she attended one, especially to learn about Pet Beasts, the time seemed to fly by too quickly for Qiao Sang’s liking.

The day slowly turned to dusk, and soon it was time to leave school.

As soon as Qiao Sang stepped out of the school gate, she called for Yaobao.

"Yaobao."

Yaobao’s eyes emitted a blue glow as it glanced at the bracelet it wore on its left front paw.

The switch on the bracelet was pressed down by a force, and Yaobao instantly returned to its original size.

Qiao Sang flipped over onto Yaobao’s back, smiling, "Let’s go home."

"Yaobao!"

Yaobao let out a cry and began to run towards the sky.

This scene drew shocked stares from passersby, and it wasn’t until Yaobao was high in the sky that everyone remembered to take out their phones to capture the moment. Sadly, by the time they opened their camera apps, there was no longer any trace of it in the sky.

...

After dinner, Qiao Sang went back to her room to pack her things in advance and leaned against the headboard, scrolling through information about Pet Beasts from other regions on her phone.

Pet Beasts from the Ancient Mist Region, Lian Ke Area, and Xilü Area were very interesting.

Even though the Pet Beasts’ attributes were limited to just a few types, they had many special features not found in the Yuhua Region.

For example, the Solid-and-Void Grass from the Lian Ke Area possessed the solid-and-void characteristic, able to detect true and false statements.

All one had to do was place a hand on its leaves and say something.

If it was the truth, there would be no change, but if it was a lie, the leaves would slowly fold together.

Many people would rent a Solid-and-Void Grass on their wedding day to test their love.

When it came to the wedding vows and they reached the part about "Do you take them to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health" and so on, the Solid-and-Void Grass would almost certainly close its leaves.

This also led to the Lian Ke Area having the lowest marriage and birth rates in the country every year.

"Actually, it’s good to have a competition with all four regions together, so we can learn more about the Pet Beasts from other regions."

Just as this thought crossed Qiao Sang’s mind, a new message popped up at the top of her phone screen:

[Xu Yixuan invited you to join a group chat]

Qiao Sang clicked it and saw the new group name was "Yuhua Just Do It Squad," with 32 members.

The next second, another person joined, increasing the number to 33.

[Cheng Jinhao sent a red envelope]

[Cheng Jinhao: New members, please change your names]

Qiao Sang instinctively snatched at it, only to find it had already been claimed by others.

Huh? Is everyone in this group this quick with their hands... Qiao Sang quietly changed her name.

[Shan Huaiyang: When we get to the Ancient Mist Region, I want to check out the underwater ruins. Anyone want to join me?]

[Xu Yixuan: @Qiao Sang, this is the group for the Yuhua Region contestants]

Yuhua Region, eleven provinces, thirty-three people... looks like everyone’s here... Qiao Sang sent a "hello everyone" emoji.

Initially, everyone was just snatching red envelopes without talking, but as soon as Qiao Sang spoke up, people began to pop up.

[Jin Wei: Qiao Sang? The one from Zhehai Province?!]

[Song Baowen: Of course! It must be her; there aren’t any other Qiao Sangs heading to the divisional games, right?]

[Xu Yixuan: It’s her, it’s totally her]

[Jiang Xiaotian: Suddenly, I feel the importance of this group]

[Chen Yunru: Ahhh! Sister Qiao! When we get to the Ancient Mist Region, can I take a picture with your Liaoxing Dog? As a reward, I can give you all the data I’ve collected on the other regions’ contestants!]

Qiao Sang was startled for a moment, but without further ado, she "sold" Yaobao:

[@Chen Yunru, sure]

As soon as Qiao Sang sent the message, everyone in the group was instantly intrigued.

[Shan Huaiyang: I have data on contestants from other regions too! I’ll give it to you! Let me take a photo with Binglu Qia, okay?]

[Li Yue: I don’t know about others, but my data collection is 99% complete. I’d like to try Binglu Qia’s Healing Light, you know?]

[Jin Wei: Me, me, me! I’ve also gathered data! Just let me add you, that’s enough!]

Watching the stream of new messages, Qiao Sang pondered for several seconds.

Hadn’t expected such a windfall...
