Chapter 634 - 574 Assessment

Chapter 634: Chapter 574 Assessment

Zhongkong University? The top-ranked elite institution? Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned before asking,

"Can they come over in a week?"

Tang Yi explained, "Zhongkong University also has people on Chao Su Star. They will notify their local contacts to conduct the assessment, which will be recorded throughout the process, and then transmitted back."

So that was it... Qiao Sang immediately said,

"Alright, I’ll go take a look."

Without further chat, Qiao Sang hung up the phone.

She swiped down her screen and connected to the Star Network.

The ordinary Internet could only connect to signals within a planet, but the Star Network allowed for information sharing throughout the universe by utilizing connections between various celestial bodies.

Accordingly, it cost a bit more to use, and Qiao Sang rarely opened it due to the cost.

She typed in the four characters for "Zhongkong University."

She clicked on the official website.

Qiao Sang quickly found the special recruitment registration portal.

Nowadays, it was convenient to register online; even if there wasn’t a profile photo ready for upload in the phone background, one could use facial recognition to take a picture.

After filling in her information, Qiao Sang checked the assessment content.

[Pet Beast Energy Value test (full score 50), Pet Beast 2V2 battle test (full score 150), Pet Beast doubles test (full score 150), Secret Realm survival test (full score 200)]

Secret Realm survival test? Qiao Sang paused at the last test, thinking to herself, wasn’t it just a Secret Realm simulation survival test at Shidiya University? Now, at Zhongkong University, it’s an actual Secret Realm survival test? But how do you do that on Chao Su Star, which doesn’t have any Secret Realms?

When you don’t understand something, ask someone who does.

Qiao Sang swiftly opened the chat app, found Tang Yi, and sent a message:

[Have you looked at the test content? Do you know how the Secret Realm survival test is conducted?]

Tang Yi didn’t reply with a message; instead, he sent a voice call.

Qiao Sang answered, and Tang Yi’s voice came through the speaker,

"I’ve checked. The Secret Realm survival test involves staying overnight inside a Secret Realm, but it’s basically safe. Zhongkong University selects realms with the lowest danger coefficients and marks out the areas known to contain certain Pet Beasts. The school will designate a certain range for you to move freely, and there will even be teachers secretly following to protect and document the process."

"How are we supposed to do the test, then? Chao Su Star doesn’t have a Secret Realm," Qiao Sang asked.

"I don’t know about that," said Tang Yi. "I heard about the Secret Realm survival test from someone who’s gone through the assessment before, but I don’t know anyone who’s done the assessment as an Intergalactic Exchange Student like us."

Before Qiao Sang could respond, Tang Yi tried to reassure her,

"Don’t worry, whatever the Secret Realm survival assessment turns into, you definitely won’t have a problem. For you, it’s just a matter of focusing more on the cultural studies portion of the entrance exam."

You know my cultural studies aren’t up to par, do you... Qiao Sang felt helpless inside but said, "I understand."

After speaking, she ended the call.

Just then, a pleasant voice sounded unexpectedly from behind her, "Qiao Sang..."

Qiao Sang jumped in surprise.

Honestly, ever since her hearing had improved, it had been a long time since she’d been startled by a voice popping out of nowhere like that.

She turned around to see a meticulous-looking Caucasian girl sitting on the landscape bench behind her, Levina.

"When did you get here?" Qiao Sang asked with a complex expression.

"While you were on your first phone call..." Levina, realizing her voice had startled Qiao Sang, said with a smile,

"You might have been too focused just now, so you didn’t notice."

Indeed, her attention had been entirely on the registration... Qiao Sang sat down next to her.

Yaobao followed immediately, hopping onto her Beast Tamer’s knees.

Levina’s gaze fell on Yaobao and lingered, "It seems your Liaoxing Dog still likes wearing sunglasses?"

"Yaobao."

With a stylish lift of its paw, Yaobao adjusted the sunglasses.

It wanted to maintain a certain image since there were many people earlier... Qiao Sang laughed, "It does like them."

She then remembered something and asked, "Why are you outside? Aren’t you going in?"

"I came specifically to find you," Levina said earnestly. "You’re right, one should be cautious about forming a contract with a beast from a new evolutionary chain. Let’s exchange contact information. I’ll give you my answer before you return to Blue Star."

"Alright," Qiao Sang did not refuse; she could tell that the other party genuinely liked Yaobao’s appearance.

After exchanging contact information, Levina felt that her relationship with Qiao Sang had become much closer and said with a smile,

"I actually heard some of your conversation just now. Were you asking about the special recruitment assessment?"

Qiao Sang suddenly understood the awkwardness others felt when someone overheard their conversations.

If someone overheard something they shouldn’t have, it could be troublesome, but thankfully her conversation had been innocuous... Qiao Sang internally complained while she simply "Hmm" in acknowledgement.

"I didn’t mean to overhear," Levina immediately realized this was a privacy issue and hurriedly explained, "It’s just that my neural connection broke through 20%, and as a result, I can hear very clearly."

I understand, that’s exactly how I went through it... Qiao Sang nodded:

"I know."

Seeing that Qiao Sang didn’t misunderstand her, Levina’s worries were assuaged, and she regained her smile as she said:

"Our school also has two exchange students from other planets, do you need me to ask them how they are assessed?"

"No need," Qiao Sang declined.

Tang Yi was right. With her current strength, she should have no problems, no matter what the assessment changes to. This wasn’t a written test where leaking the questions ahead of time would allow her to submit a perfect paper.

...

One day later.

District Three.

Sainan High School.

Dormitory Area One.

Room 502.

Qiao Sang turned on her computer, logged onto the school’s official website, and the smile on her face spread uncontrollably as she looked at her 800 points.

On the way back, Mabel had petted Yaobao and the others once again, directly bringing her points to 800 and perfectly making up for the deductions from her two tardies.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang picked up her phone next to her, opened the chat app, found Mabel, and sent her a message:

[If you want to pet them again in the future, just contact me.]

Mabel didn’t reply.

Qiao Sang closed her phone and glanced sideways at Gangbao, who seemed to be deep in thought while staring at the shivering Chan Chan Stone, and asked:

"What’s wrong?"

"Gang gang," Gangbao barked, indicating that the Chan Chan Stone wasn’t producing much food when it ate spicy peppers anymore.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang looked at the Chan Chan Stone.

"Chan Chan..."

The Chan Chan Stone had a tearful expression; it also wanted to sweat! Otherwise, there was no telling what kind of crazy things this creature might do to it! But it wasn’t something it could just produce whenever it wished!

Qiao Sang looked at the Chan Chan Stone’s expression and thought for a moment before saying, "Could it have become immune because it has eaten too many spicy peppers?"

"Gang gang..."

Gangbao looked enlightened as if to say, "So that’s why."

It continued to stare at the Chan Chan Stone. It seemed they had to find another way.

"Chan Chan..."

The Chan Chan Stone looked tearfully, feeling doomed.

At that moment, Qiao Sang said:

"If it’s become immune to the current spicy peppers, then we’ll find something spicier for it to eat."

"Chan Chan..."

The Chan Chan Stone looked at the detestable human. Compared to other unknown methods, it now felt that eating spicy peppers wasn’t completely unacceptable...

Qiao Sang went on to say:

"Actually, constantly eating nothing but spicy peppers will inevitably lead to getting tired of them. Later on, I’ll make some spicy dishes, so Chan Chan Stone might enjoy eating a bit more."

"Gang gang."

Gangbao seemed to ponder for a moment then nodded, indicating that this method was acceptable.

"Chan Chan..."

The Chan Chan Stone stared blankly at Qiao Sang, feeling that maybe this human wasn’t so terrible after all...

...

In the following days, Qiao Sang didn’t leave campus to participate in the Pet Beast arena contests at Hekin Tower.

With the assessment looming, getting into the right state of mind was the most important thing after all; no one knew when the special recruitment assessment could take place.

Although Lubao possessed the Healing Light, it couldn’t erase the mental fatigue.

On the seventh day after returning to school, both Qiao Sang and Tang Yi were called into the office by their homeroom teacher, Mu Deli.

She introduced a man in a black suit who was in the office:

"This is Teacher Qu, who has been sent by Zhongkong University in Dragon Country of Blue Star to oversee your assessment."

"Hello," the man smiled. "I will be fully responsible for your assessment this time. Given that the assessment won’t take place on Blue Star, we cannot complete the final Secret Realm survival test, so we have switched to a different assessment item. I have already requested a week’s leave for you. Prepare yourselves, as you will be accompanying me to Lower Districts."

ps: Thank you to Mr. Leng Huanzi for the reward! And thank you to everyone for yesterday’s monthly votes! I was genuinely startled to see myself briefly at number one when I woke up this morning...
