Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 471 - 441: Zhongkong Region

Chapter 471: Chapter 441: Zhongkong Region

Junior research positions differ from trainee research positions.

Trainee researchers have no established post and are temporary in nature, requiring two years of participation in research projects before they can apply for a junior researcher evaluation.

In contrast, junior researchers are part of a career establishment, and their appointments are for life.

Logically, to become an official researcher, one must have the necessary education and research achievements for the projects they’ve participated in.

A high school student like Qiao Sang wouldn’t even be eligible to apply.

However, it’s not impossible for a junior researcher to apply out of turn.

Those who have made significant contributions to a research project can be nominated out of turn by two or more experts in the same field of research.

After some contemplation, Qiao Sang asked,

"How much is the salary for a junior researcher?"

Doctor Jiang: "???"

...

9:20 PM.

Deep Sea Mandis Hotel.

Qiao Sang lay in bed, recalling what Doctor Jiang had told her:

"Because the research concerns the evolutionary aspects of the Shuilu Yana species, you’ll need to spend a month each year at the Shuilu Yana Species Research and Conservation Center and move to the Ancient Mist Region to live and work after graduating from college."

"Don’t worry about housing. The research and conservation center can pay for a house for you. If you want, you can even live at the Shuilu Yana Research and Conservation Center."

Honestly, the perks were really good, with a monthly salary of 150,000. Qiao Sang was almost swayed.

It was a good thing she touched the unlimited card in her pocket and calmed down.

Although the benefits were tempting, they directly determined where she’d end up after college.

After finally arriving in the Beast Taming world, how could she be content to stay in one region long-term?

As she was mulling over this, there was a "dong dong," "dong dong" as someone knocked on the door several times.

From the sound of it, the visitor was very urgent.

Qiao Sang didn’t get up but looked towards Xiao Xunbao.

Without her even speaking, Xiao Xunbao intuitively drifted over.

"Xun Xun~"

It thrust its head through the door, leaving the rest of its body inside.

"Ah!!!"

There was a scream from outside the door.

Xiao Xunbao’s head retracted back inside, turned, and called out, indicating a teacher had arrived.

Honestly, I could tell it was you just from the scream... Qiao Sang said, "Open the door."

"Xun~"

Hearing its Beast Tamer’s instruction, Xiao Xunbao finally turned the doorknob.

As the door opened, Sun Boyi’s expression was complex at the sight of the pet beast that appeared.

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao blinked innocently.

Sun Boyi took a deep breath, stepped quickly inside, and returned to his excited expression from before being startled at the door, saying, "Qiao Sang, I’ve got something to tell you!"

"What is it?" Qiao Sang sat up, looking puzzled.

Sun Teacher was usually so composed; it was rare for him to show his emotions so openly, especially since he had just screamed "Ah!!!" and was now looking so happy—something was unusual.

"It’s good news!" Sun Boyi said excitedly,

"The principal just called me. The higher-ups have contacted him, and as long as you don’t use spatial movement to send your opponent out of the ring with Treasure-seeking Demon in the upcoming national competition, and if you place in the top two, they’ll let you become an intergalactic exchange student. They even want you to join the special top class for third-year high school students so you can apply for college this year!"

"What?!" Qiao Sang jumped up from the bed, startled.

"They said if you place in the top two of the national competition, they’ll let you become an intergalactic exchange student, and you can study in the special top class for third-year high school students, allowing you to apply for college this year!" Sun Boyi’s smile widened as he repeated the news.

In his opinion, securing one of the top two spots in the national competition was practically a certainty with Qiao Sang’s abilities!

No teacher ever wants the students under their care to be unsuccessful.

If Qiao Sang really managed to do it, getting into a top university after only one year of high school, then what would Litian Royal Beast High School count for!

Caught off guard by this piece of news, Qiao Sang’s mind suddenly became clear.

While unable to suppress her excitement, she also thought about her own academic performance.

For about three or four seconds, Qiao Sang took a deep breath to calm herself and asked, "When does the special recruitment for universities begin?"

Sun Boyi answered at a rapid pace, "Each top-tier university has its own special recruitment schedule, but in general, registrations for initial screening are at the beginning of the year, with assessments and tests in March or April."

"Let me know which university you want to go to, and I’ll look it up for you when the time comes," he added.

March or April... that’s two to three months before the college entrance examination... Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment.

She wanted to scream with joy that she knew what to do now, but reason told her that mastering three years of high school content in such a short time is even more difficult than winning the national championship for senior high students in the Beast Taming League...

Qiao Sang sighed, "Sun Bo, do you think I can do it?"

Completely devoted to training and competitions, and having watched so many battles, Sun Boyi who had blind trust in Qiao Sang said from the bottom of his heart:

"Of course, you can!"

The certainty in his voice gave Qiao Sang the illusion for a moment that "maybe I really can."

After Sun Boyi left, Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao:

"You heard everything."

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao nodded its head, as if to say that moving the opponent out of the field directly isn’t a big deal.

No big deal for you, but a big problem for me... Qiao Sang thought.

Actually, she was not planning to let Xiao Xunbao use Spatial Movement to move the opponent out of the field again since it would mean no points were scored.

She had not anticipated this consequence of using that move either.

It was both delightful and worrisome...

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao, as if sensing what its Beast Tamer was thinking, floated over and imitated Qiao Sang’s usual manner of rubbing its head, now rubbing Qiao Sang’s head and making a sound, as if to say your problem isn’t big either.

Qiao Sang: "..."

...

A day later, a plane arrived at Imperial Capital International Airport.

The airport at night, bathed in warm orange-yellow light, looked very welcoming.

Qiao Sang, holding Yaobao, was the first to walk out from the plane.

Sun Boyi followed closely behind.

Xu Yixuan, not having advanced to the national competition, watched the award ceremony and returned to Yuhua Region alone the next day.

The Imperial Capital’s airport was enormous; it took more than forty minutes just to get to the exit, not including the time to retrieve luggage.

Zhongkong Region.

The central region of Dragon Country.

Imperial Capital, one of the most prosperous cities in Dragon Country.

Upon exiting the station, Qiao Sang saw flight type Pet Beasts lined up in N straight lines mid-air.

The sheer number almost covered half the sky.

Each flight type Pet Beast was clad in a uniform of consistent color and style.

"Yaobao..."

Yaobao, never having seen such a scene, kept its mouth open and stared continuously.

A bird-like Pet Beast above with predominantly red feathers sensed Yaobao’s gaze and threw a coquettish glance downward.

"Yaobao."

Yaobao showed a perplexed expression and turned its head to look elsewhere.
