Chapter 31

Most students at Shengshui Middle School live on campus; individual students who live off-campus use the school's South Gate, while outsiders like Qiao Sang who are not from the school use the North Gate uniformly.

The North Gate was tightly closed, and the guard in the security room hadn't started work yet.

Qiao Sang checked the time for the nth time.

8:52 AM.

There were only 28 minutes left until the 9:20 AM assembly time for the Shengshui Middle School special recruitment exam.

Except for Qiao Sang and Fire Tooth Dog, there wasn't even a passerby at the large North Gate entrance.

Qiao Sang couldn't help but yawn sleepily.

If she had known, she would have stayed in bed a while longer and not come so early...

8:58 AM.

"No discounts," the man replied to him again.

After paying, the tallest boy asked again: "How much of a discount can we get if we call you guys later?"

"Teacher, I'm here for the exam," Qiao Sang walked over and said.

When Qiao Sang went to the side, Qin Wen said with interest: "This girl actually contracted a Fire Tooth Dog."

"Ten people, two in a group. The five winners rest first, and the other five losers decide on one winner. Adding the original five winners, there are six people in total."

The temperament of a Little Horned Dragon is much better than that of a Fire Tooth Dog; it's just that because it's a dragon-type pet beast, the price is too expensive, and not many people can contract one.

"That's not right. There are 9 special recruits in the group. If the remaining person isn't you, then who is it?" the bob-haired girl asked in confusion.

A formidable rival.

So they all decided on Li Yang's proposal.

"Everyone knows the exam rules, right? I'll say them again here."

"We signed up for the group purchase price," a bob-haired girl wearing a red headband said anxiously.

They were eight Black-Beaked Sparrows, each about 2 meters in size.

The man asked his companion next to him with his eyes if this was the case.

Looking over, they saw a flight-type pet beast with four legs, a long and thin tail, a body mostly blue, only the wings gray-black, and the whole body covered in thick armor, appearing in the sky 3 or 4 meters above the ground.

Except for Qiao Sang, everyone else understood what he meant.

Qin Wen rolled her eyes secretly.

Got it.

"Can we get a bit more of a discount? We can call you guys again when we go back later," asked the tallest of the six boys.

Qiao Sang tried hard to open her sleepy eyes.

The bob-haired girl with the headband, who was the first to verify her identity, looked around, then came to sit next to Qiao Sang and said familiarly: "You're also here for the exam, why didn't you come over with us?"

Simply arriving just in time...

At 9:00 AM sharp, the uncle guard came out from the school and opened the gate.

"Lu Liangye, right? You're the only one left. Your timing is quite good; if you had been two seconds later, you would have been late," Zheng Guoping mocked.

The bob-haired girl just wanted to say something when a trembling cry suddenly came from behind.

Qiao Sang was even more confused, "What group? What message?"

After a few minutes, the people who had just gotten off the Black-Beaked Sparrows outside the North Gate all walked into the field and lined up to verify their identities.

One relies on courage to contract a Fire Tooth Dog, the other relies on money to contract a Little Horned Dragon; how can they be the same?

However, Zheng Guoping is not easy to talk to and explodes at the slightest provocation, so she was too lazy to argue with him about this.

"Teacher, I'm not late, am I?" the boy walked up to the teachers and asked.

Back then, I don't know who said in the group that experts always appear last, and then everyone in the group said they wanted to be the last to arrive.

"These six people are divided into three groups. The winners get the top three, and the three losers compete again to eliminate one. The final five remaining people can obtain our Shengshui Middle School special recruitment qualification."

Its beak is pitch black like the feathers all over its body, and it has a pair of beautiful black curled tails, which are very easy to identify.

Qiao Sang was confused, "Why would I come over with you guys? Do I know you?"

"Qiao Sang, from Wencheng Middle School?" Sun Boyi lowered his head and confirmed the identity card and information.

The man riding on the back of the Armor-Plated Eagle nodded, and then the Armor-Plated Eagle flew away.

"Identity card," Sun Boyi said concisely.

"That would be 7222 Alliance coins," the man said.

Everyone: "..."

"For the sake of fairness, we will draw lots to decide. There are two of each number from 1 to 5 here. Those who draw the same number automatically form a group," Qin Wen took out a wooden box and said.

"It's me," Lu Liangye raised his eyebrows and showed the slip of paper in his hand.

How about that? Experts are always the last to appear!

"People who awaken autonomously are all self-conceited. Are there few who contract pet beasts that are hard to control for their first one? Lu You, who was recommended to our school this time, didn't he also contract a Little Horned Dragon?" Zheng Guoping said disapprovingly.

"It's the group that all special recruits are required to join under the Shengshui Middle School special recruitment official website," the bob-haired girl explained. "Didn't we agree in the group to meet at the Oujie Street intersection and come together?"

The bob-haired girl said in surprise: "Didn't you see the message in the group?"

Sun Boyi put a checkmark behind Qiao Sang's name on the paper, "Go sit on the side first, and we'll start when everyone is here," he said, returning the identity card.

Eight black dots appeared in the sky from far to near, and in a moment, they landed at the North Gate entrance, kicking up dust on the ground.

"Hello, a total of 8000 Alliance coins," said the man on the back of one of the Black-Beaked Sparrows.

"Hmm," Qiao Sang replied.

It's an Armor-Plated Eagle, a high-tier pet beast.

"No," the man replied.

Sun Boyi clapped his hands to gather everyone and said: "Everyone is here, let's start the exam."

They saw 6 men and 2 women getting off the eight Black-Beaked Sparrows one after another, looking about the same age as her.

Could it be that there are 10 people for this special recruitment?

Damn it! He showed off!

If you run into a strong opponent when you start in groups of two, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

"Let's pay for this one first," the man didn't answer directly.

The people in the group all awakened autonomously.

After all, four out of the five people who lose at the beginning will be eliminated.

Since things have reached this point, naturally, the money should be paid first.

Bob-haired girl: "..."

Soon everyone had drawn their lots.

Lu Liangye smiled without saying a word, his eyes glancing unconsciously at the other candidates.

The companion nodded and said: "Yes, we signed up for the group purchase price."

Everyone: "..."

While this group of people was chatting and trading, Qiao Sang had already brought Fire Tooth Dog into Shengshui Middle School.

There are 5 special recruitment quotas for Shengshui Middle School this time, and in the future, it's uncertain if they will be people from the same school. Naturally, there's no objection to getting to know each other and building a good relationship in advance.

Now there is only 1 minute left until 9:20 AM, and adding the girl in front of her, there are exactly nine people; everyone should be here.

Qiao Sang took out her identity card and handed it over.

There were only four teachers on the field, which seemed to show less importance to this special recruitment competition compared to Hanggang No. 6 Beast Taming Middle School.

To put it bluntly, it's just luck.

Li Yang, the tallest of the boys, later stood out and suggested that everyone just gather together and arrive together when it's almost time for the exam.

She looked at Fire Tooth Dog on the side without a trace.

Qiao Sang was silent for a while and said: "I didn't join..."

Can this be the same?

"What?" the tallest boy was confused.

"Dad, you go first," the boy who jumped down waved his hand and said.

Following the route given on the official website of Shengshui Middle School, Qiao Sang arrived at Field No. 3.

Zheng Guoping looked at the Armor-Plated Eagle with a deep frown. Their Shengshui Middle School does not allow outside pet beasts to enter. He just wanted to step forward to stop it when he saw a figure jump down from the back of the Armor-Plated Eagle.

"Let's start from No. 1. Who drew No. 1?" Qin Wen asked.

"Who is the other No. 1?" Qin Wen continued to ask.

At this moment, a fair-white hand was raised on the side.

"Me."

It was Qiao Sang.
