Chapter 116: Everything Has an Exception
Chapter 116: Everything Has an Exception
Luo Qian swallowed his words.
Qin Wen was both fierce and rigid. If she found out he had invited a student to the Harmony Group ahead of the scheduled grouping, she might just tear him apart...
Luo Qian's expression tightened as he noticed the flying figure beside Qin Wen. How did Vice Principal's Skyglow Bat end up here?
"Professor Xian's familiar's name is what? I feel like I've seen it before, but I can't remember the name", Qiao Sang asked.
"It's called a Skyglow Bat, a familiar from the Lianke Region. You might recognize it because of the recent scandal involving the actor Gao Xuan", Jin Fanfei explained.
Qiao Sang was taken aback but quickly remembered.
Gao Xuan was a second-tier celebrity. In this world, movies and TV shows weren't as popular as they were in the past.
Most celebrities' fame was tied to their familiars, and Gao Xuan's rise to fame was largely due to his Psychic-Type Mind-Eye Hawk.
Gao Xuan once saved 23 people from a landslide on a film set, and the rescue was captured on behind-the-scenes footage, which led to his rise to fame.
However, it was recently revealed that the Mind-Eye Hawk didn't save the people; it was a passing Beastmaster who used a Skyglow Bat to rescue them.
The blue light seen on the Mind-Eye Hawk in the footage was actually a preparation for the next scene, coinciding with the rescue.
The passing Beastmaster saved the people and left, and the rescued individuals, in their panic, didn't realize who had saved them. The behind-the-scenes footage was then edited to make it appear as if Gao Xuan's Mind-Eye Hawk had performed the rescue.
The photographer who had taken the behind-the-scenes footage exposed the scandal.
Qiao Sang had glanced at the content briefly but didn't read it in detail at the time.
No wonder it felt familiar but I couldn't recall the name...
"Here."
Just as Qiao Sang finished recalling, Professor Xian suddenly teleported in front of her.
"Wh... wow." Qiao Sang quickly changed her words.
Professor Xian looked at the paper in his claw and then at Qiao Sang.
"Professor Xian, this is Qiao Sang", Qin Wen said, turning to Qiao Sang with a smile. "Vice Principal is looking for you."
Qiao Sang was taken aback and hadn't reacted before Professor Xian raised his right claw and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"..."
Everyone fell silent.
After a moment, Zheng Yining approached Jin Fanfei and asked, "Do you think Vice Principal calling Qiao Boss over isn't a bad thing, right?"
A friend of a friend is a friend. The girl had come with Qiao Boss and stood together with her, clearly indicating a close relationship.
Jin Fanfei was surprised that someone would approach her.
"Probably not", Jin Fanfei whispered.
In reality, she wasn't sure. When a student was called to a teacher's office, it usually wasn't for a good reason, especially when it was the Vice Principal.
Luo Qian, regaining his composure, walked over and asked curiously, "What does Vice Principal want with Qiao Sang?"
Qin Wen glanced at him and replied, "Something good."
Luo Qian: "..."
...
On the other side, Qiao Sang looked at the man in a white lab coat with his hair neatly combed, filled with resentment.
Next time, could Professor Xian please give her a heads-up before using Spatial Shift to teleport her?
This could scare someone with a weak heart to death!
"Vice Principal, you called for me?" Qiao Sang forced a smile and asked.
"Yes, please have a seat", Liu Yao said as he poured a red liquid into a test tube.
Qiao Sang looked around the room.
Unlike the previous office, this room was filled with various precision instruments, and the humidity and temperature were clearly being controlled, making it evident that this was a laboratory.
Qiao Sang casually found a stool and sat down at the lab bench.
Fangflare looked curiously at the potion Liu Yao was making, involuntarily sniffing the air.
"Yah!"
So fragrant!
Liu Yao laughed when he heard Fangflare's exclamation. "Lao Xian, bring out that fruit."
"Xian."
Skyglow Bat responded and instantly disappeared.
When it reappeared, a plate of cherry-sized, red fruits with spiral patterns floated beside it.
In the next second, the plate of fruits appeared in front of Qiao Sang on the lab bench.
"Yah!"
Fangflare's gaze was immediately drawn to the plate of fruits.
It leaned down to sniff them, and its eyes lit up instantly.
"Xun~"
Treasure Seeker also drifted over curiously to smell the fruits.
But soon it floated back to rest on its Beastmaster's head, staring at Skyglow Bat instead.
Clearly, Treasure Seeker was more interested in Skyglow Bat than the fruits.
Qiao Sang felt a bit embarrassed looking at the fruits in front of her.
She never thought that even at her age, there would still be fruits she couldn't recognize...
What were they called again...
But it wasn't entirely her fault. There were too many fruits in this world, with different regions, countries, and planets having their own unique varieties.
She had mostly only eaten the more common fruits from the Yuhua Region.
As an A-Class Breeder, Vice Principal Liu Yao had the means to buy rare fruits from other regions as snacks.
Although she didn't recognize them, she couldn't show her ignorance in front of others.
"Thank you, Vice Principal", Qiao Sang said, picking up a red fruit and pretending to put it in her mouth.
"Yah."
Fangflare chirped happily, also using its paw to pick up a fruit and try to put it in its mouth.
"Wait!" Liu Yao, usually composed, suddenly raised his voice.
Qiao Sang was startled. "What's wrong?"
"Yah?"
Fangflare blinked, its paw holding the fruit paused at its mouth.
Liu Yao's eyes twitched as he explained, "This is Blazefruit, and it's only for Fire Familiars to eat."
He added, emphasizing, "Humans can't eat it."
Qiao Sang: "..."
This was probably a social death...
"Ha ha, I know, come on, Fangy, eat." Qiao Sang forced a laugh and pushed the fruit into Fangflare's mouth.
"Yah..."
Fangflare's mouth was blocked just in time.
It instinctively started to eat.
"Yah!"
So delicious!
And the energy inside its body started to warm up, feeling like it was increasing!
Fangflare swallowed the red fruit and immediately stuffed the one in its paw into its mouth as well.
"Ha ha, eat slowly, don't rush, there's more." Qiao Sang forced another laugh and placed another red fruit near Fangflare's mouth.
Liu Yao: "..."
"Teacher Qin just contacted me and said your Fangflare's Energy Level has reached 13,966", Liu Yao said.
Qiao Sang was taken aback. Could it be that Vice Principal Liu Yao came to see her because Fangflare was so outstanding?
"Um." Qiao Sang responded while feeding Fangflare.
"Do you know the Energy Level range for Basic Familiars?" Liu Yao asked.
Could it be that Fangflare's Energy Level exceeded the normal range for Basic Familiars?
Qiao Sang immediately had a guess.
She wasn't panicking. Even if Fangflare's Energy Level was over the limit, what did that mean?
It meant Fangflare was exceptional!
"15,000?" Qiao Sang guessed a number.
Liu Yao shook the test tube in his hand and said solemnly, "It's 1 to 10,000. Normally, when a Basic Familiar's Energy Level reaches 10,000, it will Evolve."
"Familiars that require additional conditions to Evolve are usually because their internal Energy Level is constrained and can no longer increase, so they use these methods to break through."
"However, there are always exceptions."
