Chapter 27: Interstellar Betting Network
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Qiaosang hurriedly found the head teacher's phone and dialed it.
She didn't want the head teacher to see her mother's missed call and call back later.
No one answered the phone.
Xiang Qiaosang continued to call. After five consecutive calls, it changed from no answer to "the phone you dialed is powered off."
No way, Xiang Qiaosang sent a text message and gave up.
The Fire Tooth Dog kept its head tilted, looking out the window.
Xiang Qiaosang followed its gaze.
In the high sky of over a hundred meters, an advertising airship about 30 meters by 19 meters was moving slowly with a television screen.
Airships like this are occasionally seen by pedestrians when they look up. The news and competitions played are usually the latest hot topics.
At the moment, the television screen outside the airship was showing an interview about the Interstellar Cup.
"What is your opinion on the next opponent?" one of the reporters asked.
"Baodelai is an outstanding Beast Tamer. His tactical combinations are varied, especially the battle in the 24 to 22 round. The move 'Turn Disaster and Turn Disaster Again' with his Earth Disaster Dog and Two-Headed Snake Dragon is stunning. I believe you have all seen it."
The person answering was Lin Ya, the man with the Giant Toad that Xiang Qiaosang saw in the center of the mall last time.
"This is the third Interstellar Cup you have participated in. You stopped at the top ten in the previous two sessions. Do you have confidence in achieving better results this time?" the reporter continued to ask.
"Everyone is a top Beast Tamer in the interstellar space; I have no confidence," Lin Ya smiled.
The reporters looked at each other, clearly not expecting him to answer like this.
"However, I will work hard," Lin Ya continued.
"On the Interstellar Betting Network, your odds and player Baodelai's odds are 1.89 and 1.23 respectively. What do you think about your odds being higher than player Baodelai's?" another reporter asked.
"Everyone should still be cautious when placing bets," Lin Ya smiled easily.
Xiang Qiaosang was stunned for a while watching the interview on the airship's television screen, then lowered her head and searched for the Interstellar Betting Network on her phone.
The Interstellar Betting Network is the Alliance's official betting website. There are also other large and small websites where you can bet on Interstellar Cup matches, but for safety and credibility, you have to look at the Interstellar Betting Network.
Xiang Qiaosang didn't hesitate to bet 5,000 Alliance coins on Baodelai.
Although Lin Ya is the representative of Blue Star and the only Dragon Country person participating in the Interstellar Cup, Baodelai's odds are lower than Lin Ya's. These odds are calculated by betting companies through rigorous calculations. If there are no accidents, the high or low of these odds is the probability of their victory or defeat.
Xiang Qiaosang chose to trust the data provided by the betting company.
Besides the match between Lin Ya and Baodelai, Xiang Qiaosang also spent 5,000 Alliance coins to bet on another nearby match, also based on the winning rate.
After betting, Xiang Qiaosang felt refreshed, feeling that she had earned a little bit more or less.
In a blink of an eye, it was June 9th.
8:50 AM.
Hangzhou Sixth Beast Taming Middle School.
The Fire Tooth Dog looked at the surroundings in high spirits, its four limbs taking light steps, and the 10kg weight ring on its right front limb no longer had any effect on it.
Xiang Qiaosang walked toward the designated location with floating steps, the blue color under her eyes being exceptionally obvious against her fair skin, showing that she didn't sleep well last night.
Xiang Qiaosang couldn't help but yawn. Because of the interstellar time difference, she stayed up all night until three in the morning watching the match between Lin Ya and Baodelai.
Since it involved her money, sacrificing this bit of sleep was naturally nothing.
As a result, she stayed up all night until morning.
Before three in the morning, it was to watch the match, and after three in the morning, it was purely because she was so angry she couldn't sleep.
Lin Ya won.
Her 5,000 Alliance coins were gone...
What kind of data odds did the betting company give? It's not reliable at all!
Sure enough, gambling harms people. Xiang Qiaosang can only hope that the other match will let her earn back some capital; otherwise, she can only cut back on the few bottles of Qiyuan milk she has to buy every day.
Fire Tooth Dog, I'm sorry!
The Fire Tooth Dog was full of curiosity about the fresh environment, looking around, not knowing at all that the Qiyuan milk it likes to drink every day might not be guaranteed.
Admissions Office of the Sixth Beast Taming Middle School.
The door was ajar, and many people could be heard talking inside. Xiang Qiaosang knocked on the door.
"Please come in," a thick voice came from inside the door.
Xiang Qiaosang pushed the door and entered.
The people inside went silent instantly, their eyes brushing toward Xiang Qiaosang and the Fire Tooth Dog on the side.
Only to see 4 men and 2 women sitting in the office, all looking over 30 years old.
Xiang Qiaosang was a bit confused. Isn't today the special recruitment day? Why didn't she see anyone her own age? And why are these people staring at her? It's strange...
"Hello teacher, I'm here for special recruitment," Xiang Qiaosang said to the middle-aged man closest to her.
These people were all sitting, and they all had the unique temperament of a teacher. Xiang Qiaosang simply found someone nearby to state her intention.
"You must be Xiang Qiaosang. I am the vice principal of this school," Chen Shengtang said enthusiastically.
He controlled his inner excitement, showed a standard eight-tooth smile, and tried to make himself look amiable.
You know, this is the only self-awakened special recruit who applied for their school since the founding of Hangzhou Sixth Beast Taming Middle School!
Self-awakened Beast Tamers have a natural advantage in beast taming and can open up their brain domain again faster. Such talents only appear about 40 times a year in the entire Zhejiang Sea Province, and once discovered, they are basically recommended or specially recruited into the top few beast taming high schools. How could it be their school's turn!
But this year, such a talent chose to apply for their school!
This made him so excited that he waited here early in the morning, finally waiting for this student Xiang Qiaosang.
Chen Shengtang was more and more satisfied as he looked at Xiang Qiaosang. Not only is she good-looking, but she dared to contract a Fire-type as her first pet beast—she has courage!
And she applied for their school—she has vision!
Actually the vice principal...
"Hello, Vice Principal." Xiang Qiaosang was a bit strange that a vice principal of a school actually recognized her. Before she could think too much, she hurriedly took out her information card and the proof of self-awakening and handed it over.
Although she had already signed up online, the necessary procedures still had to be followed. The information had to be verified in person, and the degree of brain domain development had to be tested again to avoid omissions.
Xiang Qiaosang had a very flat mentality about this special recruitment for Hangzhou Sixth Beast Taming Middle School. Passing is definitely possible, and her heart is now set on Saint Water Middle School. Coming to this school is just to give herself a way out.
"Have you eaten breakfast?" Chen Shengtang asked with a smile, not in a hurry to verify the information.
"If you haven't eaten, the breakfast in our school cafeteria is still very rich, and I can take you to eat it," a female teacher wearing glasses said kindly.
Chen Shengtang looked at her with satisfaction.
The female teacher sitting by the window was a bit sour.
So good at reading the situation, no wonder she became the dean of students at a young age.
"I've eaten," Xiang Qiaosang replied.
The teachers in this school seem to be quite good...
Chen Shengtang lowered his head and looked at the self-awakening proof casually, mainly to see the degree of brain domain development.
At this look, his heart tightened a bit.
【Brain domain 5%–9%, large fluctuation, cannot be determined, needs to be confirmed again after stabilization】 ===== CHAPTER 28 =====
