Chapter 298: Selling Gold Gloves (Wishing everyone a double Happy Lantern Festival!)
Qiao Sang tapped the computer touchscreen, and the private message window popped up.
【The original poster is from Holy Water Middle School? How do you know so much?】
【Name your price? What do you want? Will 10 g of resources work?】
【What do you want?】
【I only hate that I have no money!】
【Want me to give you three sessions of Water-Secretion Shrimp hydrotherapy?】
Qiao Sang looked for a long time but didn't see anything that interested her.
Sure enough, money wasn't that easy to earn...
Just as Qiao Sang was about to close the private message window, the content on the chat page she'd just casually opened caught her attention.
【100 Alliance Coins, will you sell the information?】
Qiao Sang immediately replied:
【Sell!】
100 was still money!
Such a zero-cost deal—how could she possibly look down on it for being too little!
Qiao Sang decisively chose to sell herself out.
The forum backend nowadays could receive payments, and in no time, she received the notification of a 100 Alliance Coin transfer.
With this first taste of sweetness, Qiao Sang's patience instantly bounced back, and she went back to reading the private messages she hadn't finished.
Don't mention it—looking through them like this, there really were quite a few people making offers.
Although no one offered much, added together it was already enough to scrape together the money for one bottle of Grade E Energy Recovery Liquid.
At this moment, Qiao Sang experienced the joy of fleecing sheep.
Her phone was still flashing with messages nonstop.
Qiao Sang took a moment to pick it up and glance at it.
The result was, the moment she looked, she got a fright.
What happened?
What was going on?
Why was everyone @-ing her?!
She opened it to look.
【Bai Yunmiao: Qiao the Genius! Did you get picked for the Gao San school team?! Someone online is selling your information!】
【Shi Gaofeng: Your information got sold!】
【Zheng Guoping: The news that you joined the Gao San school team has leaked. How about coming back to our Gao Er school team?】
【Wang Yao: Someone's selling your info, but don't panic. I bet it's someone from our school. I'll find out for you. Selling you is the same as selling our school—I won't let them off easy!】
There were still plenty of messages, but seeing the one from Wang Yao, Qiao Sang felt it was still quite necessary to soothe her emotions, so she replied:
【It's just my information being sold, no need to escalate it to something as serious as selling the school......】
Wang Yao replied instantly:
【You're our school's precious treasure now! The treasure that anchors the school! Even you got sold! This person has zero sense of collective school honor!】
Qiao Sang guiltily rubbed her nose. Just as she was about to tell Wang Yao that the person selling the information was herself, she suddenly recalled the two boys mistaking someone else for her today.
There might really be someone in the school selling her information......
Thinking this, Qiao Sang typed back:
【You don't have any missions today, right? Where did you get a phone at school?】
【Wang Yao:......】
Early the next morning.
Qiao Sang navigated to a nearby gold-buying shop and rode Yaobao over.
"Xun..."
"Xunxun..."
Along the way, Little Xunbao cradled the palm-sized gold gloves of her own beast-tamer, her face full of reluctance to part with them.
These things were so nice—were they really going to be sold...
At first, Qiao Sang smiled and explained that money was what mattered most.
But Little Xunbao kept muttering nonstop, so Qiao Sang had no choice but to say: "If you can't bear to part with mine, then we'll sell yours instead."
Qiao Sang only said this to scare Little Xunbao—her own pair was pure gold gloves custom-made by Liu Qijia's father.
And Little Xunbao's pair was a pair of gold-imitation gloves she'd bought online—nowhere near as expensive as hers.
"Xunxun!"
The moment Little Xunbao heard that, she immediately placed the gold gloves she'd been holding in front of Qiao Sang.
Reluctant to part with them?
No such thing!
Qiao Sang: "......"
The gold shop was located in some alley.
Nowadays, shops in good locations were all selling things related to companion beasts; a place like a gold shop, if opened in a good location, was a guaranteed money-loser.
Qiao Sang walked in with Yaobao and asked: "Boss, do you buy gold gloves?"
The boss lady, who was combing the fur of a Bai Sha fox, looked up at her: "Did you bring your information card?"
"I did." Qiao Sang fished the information card out of her pocket and placed it on the glass display case.
The shopkeeper's wife seemed to casually glance at the unfamiliar pet beast beside the girl, feeling it looked oddly familiar.
She didn't think much of it, picked up the information card and looked at it, then paused at the date of birth field.
Tch, 15 years old......
If I don't make a killing today, I'll really be letting myself down.
The shopkeeper's wife leisurely stroked the Bai Sha Fox's fur and said: "The current gold price is 345 per gram. Have you decided to sell?"
Qiao Sang narrowed her eyes and asked: "Boss lady, isn't this a proper gold shop?"
"You child, what nonsense are you spouting! I have a business license!" the shopkeeper's wife said indignantly.
Qiao Sang said calmly: "Proper gold shops all adjust their gold prices based on the international gold price fluctuations, right? I remember today's quoted gold price should be 412 per gram."
The shopkeeper's wife was instantly stunned.
She hadn't expected such a young child to be an expert! She'd even checked today's gold price before coming!
"People in our line of work have to make some profit." Seeing the young age of the girl before her, the shopkeeper's wife tried to fob her off again.
At this moment, the lying Bai Sha Fox glanced at Ya Bao.
"Ya!"
Ya Bao grinned, baring its sharp teeth.
What of it! You wanna fight?!
"Shasha!"
The Bai Sha Fox was instantly so scared it got up and hid behind its own beast master.
The shopkeeper's wife quickly shielded the Bai Sha Fox behind her, stern-faced but inwardly flustered: "You child, can't you talk nicely? Why so fierce! So what if your pet beast is big! The price is something to be negotiated! I'll pay you based on today's gold price, alright!"
Qiao Sang: "......"
What just happened?
She hadn't said anything yet, so how was she being fierce?
"Ya......"
Ya Bao, seeing the Bai Sha Fox's state, showed a "how boring" expression and retracted its sharp teeth.
Thought it wanted to fight, didn't expect it to be such a scaredy-cat, how dull......
Twenty minutes later.
Alliance coins.
Qiao Sang walked out of the gold shop, looking at the extra money in her account and couldn't help but sincerely exclaim: Liu Qijia's dad! So generous!
"Xun!"
The invisible Little Xun Bao looked down at its own golden gloves, its gaze resolute.
This thing must be well taken care of, it's valuable!
Over the next few days, because the National Campus Beast Master League was about to be held, the热度 of Qiao Sang's post on the forum only grew.
Especially with people from Sacred Water Middle School constantly cursing under the post, plus people from other schools who had bought the materials going to verify and finding out the original poster was telling the truth!
The post was thoroughly on fire.
This also led to Qiao Sang being able to make a small fortune every day.
"Ya!"
"Buy!"
"Xun~"
"Buy!"
"Lu."
"Buy!"
In just a few days, Ya Bao and Lu Bao were fine because they still had daily physical training, but Little Xun Bao couldn't handle it and directly gained a whole ring of weight.
"This won't do, we're about to compete soon, and with you this fat, your movements will be much slower." Qiao Sang said.
"Xun~"
Little Xun Bao felt its round, bulging belly, then vanished on the spot and reappeared on the other side, sticking out a short toe and waggling it.
How could that be, it has teleportation.
Qiao Sang: "......"
At this moment, her phone rang.
She took a look, it was a call from the vice principal.
After answering, the vice principal's voice came through:
"The preliminaries of the National Campus Beast Master League are the day after tomorrow. Remember to gather at Training Ground No. 1 of the school by 8:30 tomorrow morning."
