I know a new snack shop that just opened on Rongchang Street. Their signature dish, 'Cloud-baked Ham,' is made by a Magne-cook.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They use a Magnemite to make Cloud-baked Ham? Is that even allowed?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using extraordinary creatures as ingredients wasn't unheard of in this society, but it was usually done covertly. Who would be so brazen as to advertise it as a signature dish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And wasn't Magnemite's entire body made of magnets? Could that even be edible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yining paused, \"The Magne-cook is the chef at the snack shop... Did you misunderstand something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked up at the sky, laughing awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, the weather seems nice today. Maybe we should head home early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She probably didn’t misinterpret Boss Qiao’s earlier thoughts...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After declining the requests from Zheng Yining, Li Yang, and the others to compete in a Murkrow race, Qiao Sang immediately took out her phone once they parted ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To focus on the exam, Qiao Sang had turned off her phone when she entered Shengshui High School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she powered it on, two missed calls from her mother appeared on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang didn't return the call right away. She took a deep breath, her hands trembling slightly as she opened the Interstellar Betting Network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We won!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the Fire fang Dog heard its Beast Master’s excited shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire fang Dog wagged its tail, sharing in the joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang did some quick calculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had lost 5000 Alliance Coins betting on Baudelaire, but after subtracting the principal, she won 1200 Alliance Coins this time. Overall, she was still down by 38...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better not to dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang decided to ignore it and called her mother back. Her mother didn’t ask about the exam, only when she would be coming home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since her mother didn’t ask, Qiao Sang didn’t mention it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the final results of the high school entrance exam were still pending—better to avoid celebrating too early only to be disappointed later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, at her desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang held some freshly completed practice exams, checking the answers. These were last year's entrance exam papers from Hanwen City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanwen City and Hanggang City both belonged to Zhejiang Province, so aside from a few different focal points, the papers were largely similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking her answers, Qiao Sang sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she had made significant progress, she still made quite a few mistakes. With only a week left until the high school entrance exam, it seemed she would need to return to school tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it’s faster to ask others about the correct problem-solving approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yip-yip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Coo, coo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of the Fire fang Dog and the fat dove arguing in the living room reached Qiao Sang, bringing a smile to her face. Those two little ones were getting along quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, after correcting all her mistakes, Qiao Sang opened a shopping website.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered the vice principal's instructions: three sprigs of vitality herbs, two pounds of Heat-soothing owder, seven ounces of Fiery nitrate, and six ounces of Red Honey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Vitality Herb]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang typed in the keyword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopping page for vitality herbs quickly popped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>3,888 Alliance Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to give up, she scrolled down a few pages, but the price was consistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a price variation?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang clicked on the option to sort by price from low to high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the top of the page, the price was listed as 38 Alliance Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she dare to buy it with such a huge price difference?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hesitating, Qiao Sang clicked on it, clinging to a sliver of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she checked the reviews, they were all negative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Has the seller lost their conscience? Is this even Vitality Herb?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I gave it to my Cotton Tail Rabbit, and it had diarrhea for a week, losing a ton of weight (photo).]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This isn't Vitality Herb; it's some random weed, isn't it?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fake, fake, fake!!! Negative review, negative review, negative review!!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ibought a real Vitality Herb for comparison. I must say, the imitation is pretty close (photo) (photo).]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, it was a knock-off...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang searched for Heat-soothing Powder, Fiery Crystal, and Red Honey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heat-soothing Powder: 2600 Alliance Coins, Fiery Crystal: 6889 Alliance Coins, and Red Honey: the cheapest was 1999 Alliance Coins per pound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that just one bath for the Fire fang Dog would cost over 10,000 Alliance Coins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang quietly closed her computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the high school entrance exam was more important right now. The Fire fang Dog’s situation could wait. Besides, the Fire fang Dog hated water and didn’t like baths...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10:32 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire fang Dog had already fallen asleep, tired from playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, Qiao Sang entered the Beast Master Codex before going to bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Name: Firefang Dog\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attribute: Fire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level: Beginner (136\u002F1000) +\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skills: Bite (Beginner 74\u002F100) +, Charge (Adept 204\u002F500) +, Fire Fang (Adept 188\u002F500) +, Ember (Adept 256\u002F500) +, Shadow Clone (Beginner 5\u002F100)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Points: 109\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, the Fire fang Dog gained 55 points from three battles at the Thirty-seventh Beast High School. This time, it only gained 54 points from four battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The points gained from each battle vary, so the point increase is likely based on the strength of the opponent, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang made a guess and then fell fast asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today had been exhausting...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wencheng Middle School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qiao Sang walked into Class 37 with her backpack, the class erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa, Qiao Sang, I didn’t think you’d actually come back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where have you been all this time, skipping class?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, watch what you’re saying! Couldn’t it be family matters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about? Couldn’t it be a relative’s issue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We all missed you. Without you, the teacher kept picking on me and Fang Sisi.\" This was from Guo Linze, the class's perennial second-to-last student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher had essentially given up on the last-place student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the other students finished expressing their feelings and dispersed, Fang Sisi said earnestly, \"Qiao Sang, you’ve changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang was taken aback. \"How have I changed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the past, whenever you found a good excuse to skip class, you’d let me know. Now you’re going solo, not even taking me with you.\" Fang Sisi said with a tone of grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll bring you along next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Sisi shook her head. \"There won’t be a next time. There are only a few days left in school. If I skip, my mom would break my legs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way,\" Fang Sisi leaned in closer and whispered, \"I’ve got something to tell you, but you can’t tell anyone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fang Sisi’s serious expression, Qiao Sang nodded. \"Go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last week, our homeroom teacher, for some reason, decided to get a hair transplant, but... haha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Sisi couldn’t help but laugh, \"But the anesthetic was swapped with a hair removal agent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment before saying, \"How could that happen? The two substances are different colors, aren’t they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one who applied the anesthetic was Gigi Eye, a newly contracted pet in the dermatology department, and it’s not very familiar with these things yet.\" Fang Sisi explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang asked, \"How do you know about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you forget? My mom is a nurse there. She’s met our homeroom teacher before during parent-teacher meetings.\" Fang Sisi replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang’s expression grew strange.Could it be that the homeroom teacher went for the hair transplant because of what she said about his wig last time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he stopped answering calls and turned off his phone...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This medical mishap was pretty severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, for middle-aged men, hair is life—especially those who rely on wigs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me honestly, how many people have you told about this?\" Qiao Sang asked Fang Sisi suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Sisi was slightly taken aback and began counting on her fingers, \"Lu Siya, Chen Jinjin, Wu Huanjun, Guo Linze, Xie Jiayi, Chen Yu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>",1385,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","39e10ab78d3155bf447b47e03cb4901e05d4ec874320119b71782acade21900c","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-38","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-36",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
