Chapter 228: None of Her Business

【Name: Treasure Ghost】

【Grade: Beginner (0)+】

【Points: 2620】

2620 — enough to let Little Treasure evolve… Qiao Sang couldn't help but grin foolishly.

"There's no evolution option…"

Qiao Sang calmed down a little. Treasure Ghost had two evolution forms, and the one she wanted Little Treasure Ghost to evolve into was Ring Ghost. If she blindly added points now, Little Treasure Ghost would very likely evolve into Treasure Spirit instead.

"Is it that the pet beast has to meet the evolution conditions for another form before the evolution species option appears, or is it that after adding points, whatever form it evolves into is just luck…"

Qiao Sang always felt that the data in her Beast Codex wasn't as simple as it looked. Otherwise, the name of the newest evolution form of the Fire Fang Dog — one that even the Alliance had no record of — wouldn't appear directly in the Beast Codex.

This wasn't hard to figure out — she'd just wait until Little Treasure Ghost's ring split into two, then check the Beast Codex again to understand… Having thought it through, Qiao Sang's consciousness returned to reality.

In just one day, she'd gathered enough upgrade points for Ya Bao and Little Treasure. To say she could fall asleep as usual as if nothing happened would be a lie.

When a person is excited, the brain is in an abnormally active state, which directly leads to insomnia.

Qiao Sang had insomnia…

……

September 2nd.

Early morning.

Qiao Sang washed up with dark circles under her eyes, ate breakfast, and set off for school with her backpack containing Water Lulu Yana.

The scene she'd anticipated — a crowd surrounding her and issuing challenges — didn't happen. Qiao Sang walked into Class One without any obstruction.

Holy Water Middle School only required students on the school team to board at school; it didn't force other students to do the same. But most students still chose to stay in the school dormitories for the convenience of studying.

As the only person in the class who lived off-campus, Qiao Sang had also become the last one to arrive in the classroom.

If nothing unexpected happened, the next three years of high school would probably be like this.

Looking at the academic gods in the class all practicing meditation, Qiao Sang silently went to her seat and began meditating too. Her morning reading plan was shelved to the side.

To be honest, being in the same class as so many academic gods put a lot of pressure on Qiao Sang.

Especially during class, when these academic gods listened so bored they could barely keep their eyes open, while she could only bury her head in taking notes.

At first Qiao Sang didn't understand, but by the third period she finally couldn't help turning to Jin Feifan, who was also drooping his eyelids beside her, and asking:

"Did something happen at school last night? Why do you all look so sleepy?"

Jin Feifan lowered his voice and said: "No, it's just that we already self-studied this content during summer break. The teacher's lecture doesn't feel like it has anything new."

Qiao Sang: "???"

"That student talking — Jin Feifan, right? Come answer this question." The teacher suddenly called out: "Silver nitrate solution is a commonly used reagent that is slightly corrosive and bactericidal. Which of the following options can replace the function of silver nitrate solution?"

Jin Feifan answered without thinking: "It's the powder of the Flower Umbrella Mushroom."

The teacher nodded and said: "Not bad, the answer is A. Sit down, and don't talk next time. Even though you already know all this knowledge, your deskmate still needs to listen."

Qiao Sang: "……"

At this moment, Qiao Sang had an epiphany.

The gap created by nine years of compulsory education couldn't be closed in just three short months to bring her up to the level of her classmates.

If she couldn't take the advantage in cultural scores, then she'd lead them in beast control!

After taking notes all morning, Qiao Sang didn't leave immediately after school, but stayed at her seat waiting for people to come challenge her.

But after waiting for a long time, not a single person appeared.

Wang Jihang, who had finished eating, returned to the classroom and saw Qiao Sang still at her seat. He asked curiously: "Qiao Sang, why haven't you left yet? The cafeteria food is almost gone."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang instinctively stood up, but held herself back and sat down again.

"I'll wait a bit longer."

"What are you waiting for?" Wang Jihang asked, puzzled.

"I'm waiting for challengers." Qiao Sang answered.

Before Wang Jihang could respond, Chen Dongjun, who had lost to Qiao Sang at yesterday's opening ceremony, cut in:

"You're this strong — who would dare challenge you?"

Qiao Sang said, surprised: "Didn't you see yesterday? When classes ended and school was dismissed, our classroom was surrounded — all of them came to challenge."

"Yesterday was yesterday, today is today — how could they be the same?" Chen Dongjun said irritably: "Yesterday, after you finished battling, your Flame Listener Dog couldn't fight, and your Treasure Ghost had also expended a huge amount of energy. Battle fatigue — that was the best time to beat you. Of course everyone wanted to challenge you. Now one night has passed, and your two freakish pet beasts have both recovered their combat power. Who would be idle enough to come looking for a beating by battling you?"

Qiao Sang: "???"

What the heck? Chen Dongjun's words directly left Qiao Sang dumbfounded.

So yesterday was the last day for delivering points! There would never be such an opportunity again?!

Sure enough, just as Chen Dongjun said, until school was dismissed, not a single person came to challenge her again.

The only two who came were one who wanted to take a photo with Ya Bao, and one who wanted to get an advance on the teleportation secret manual.

Qiao Sang reflected on herself in agonizing regret — why hadn't she just let Little Treasure Ghost hold on a little longer yesterday? Where would she ever find such a good opportunity to fleece points again…

"Tre…"

The invisible Little Treasure Ghost rubbed its nose, feeling an inexplicable itch.

……

After school.

Training Ground No. 5.

"You said you want to use the energy testing machine to test your pet beast's energy value?" Zheng Guoping asked.

"Yes." Qiao Sang nodded.

"Alright, wait a moment."

Zheng Guoping made a phone call on the spot. Ten minutes later, an energy testing machine was carried over by a Strength Pig.

"Perfect timing, the energy testing machine has been moved here — you all should get tested while you're at it!" Zheng Guoping clapped and shouted.

Wang Yao and the others stopped training and walked over.

"Qiao Sang, you've made me suffer." Seeing Shi Gaofeng said, looking at Qiao Sang with a resentful gaze.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?"

"Haha, it's nothing — every time he gets tested, Teacher Zheng gives him a scolding." Wang Yao explained.

Qiao Sang hesitated, then said: "Shouldn't you be used to being scolded by now?"

Shi Gaofeng: "…"

Since Qiao Sang proposed the test, naturally she went first.

Little Treasure Ghost had experience with energy testing before, so the machine was nothing new to her, and she very cooperatively put on the helmet.

Because Ya Bao's head was bigger than the helmet, she could only connect to an energy sensor for the test.

The results came out quickly.

Ya Bao,.

Treasure Ghost,.

Qiao Sang was not surprised that Little Treasure Ghost had broken through the energy limit of a beginner pet beast.

When Ya Bao first broke through the energy limit, it was nothing more than for two reasons: she had learned a high-level skill and had practiced Spark to the level of profound meaning.

Little Treasure Ghost had likewise learned a high-level skill. Although she hadn't yet practiced any skill to the level of profound meaning, her proficiency was already outrageously high compared to pet beasts of the same rank.

As for Ya Bao's current energy value, Qiao Sang already had a rough idea in her heart.

Ever since the first energy test, she had gone online to look it up — the energy limit for an intermediate pet beast was.

In other words, with all her current stat points added in, Ya Bao's internal energy value would already 100% exceed the scope of the intermediate pet beast energy limit.

"Qiao Sang, you've made us suffer…" Wang Yao murmured, recalling the numbers she had just seen.

"If I say my stomach hurts now, do you think Zheng Vio… Teacher would let me go?" Seeing Shi Gaofeng said, on the verge of tears.

Xu Yajie, meanwhile, was already trembling as he helped the Strength-Headed Duck put on the helmet.

"Xu Yajie! What are you doing! Your energy value! It's only gone up by a little over

3000 since the last test! Qiao Sang's Yan Listener Dog, which only evolved about a month ago, is already higher than yours!"

Qiao Sang silently took a step back, indicating it had nothing to do with her.
