Chapter 230: Not Her Problem
Chapter 230: Not Her Problem
[Name: Treasure Seeker]
[Level: Junior (457/1000) +]
[Points: 2620]
2620 points—enough for Treasure Seeker to evolve... Qiao Sang couldn’t help but grin like a fool.
However, she soon calmed down a bit.
Treasure Seeker had an extremely high aptitude, and with Fangy already surpassing her maximum energy value in the Junior stage, Qiao Sang naturally hoped the same for Treasure Seeker.
There was another crucial point: Treasure Seeker had two potential evolution forms.
Qiao Sang wanted Treasure Seeker to evolve into the Ghost Ring Specter, and Treasure Seeker was still working on splitting the Ring in two.
If she blindly added points now, Treasure Seeker would evolve into the Treasure Hunter Demon without two Rings. To then evolve into the Ghost Ring Specter would require far more resources.
After reviewing Fangy and Treasure Seeker’s information several times, Qiao Sang’s mind returned to reality.
Gathering enough points for both Fangy and Treasure Seeker’s upgrades in just one day was no small feat. It was impossible to sleep as usual when she was this excited.
When the brain is highly active, it can lead to insomnia.
Qiao Sang had insomnia...
...
September 2nd.
Morning.
Qiao Sang, with dark circles under her eyes, finished her morning routine, ate breakfast, and set off for school with her backpack containing Aquariana.
The expected scene of a crowd surrounding her to issue challenges didn’t happen. Qiao Sang walked into Class 1 without any hindrance.
Holy Water High School only required School Team students to live on campus, but most students chose to do so for the convenience of studying.
As the only student in the class living off-campus, Qiao Sang was the last to arrive.
If nothing unexpected happened, the next three years of high school would likely be the same.
Seeing her classmates practicing meditation, Qiao Sang quietly took her seat and began meditating, putting aside her plan to read in the morning.
To be honest, being in the same class as these study gods put a lot of pressure on Qiao Sang.
Especially during class, when these study gods seemed to be half-asleep, she had to focus on taking notes.
At first, Qiao Sang didn’t understand, but by the third class, she couldn’t help but ask Jin Fanfei, who was also drooping his eyelids:
“Did something happen at school last night? Why do you all look so tired?”
Jin Fanfei lowered his voice and replied, “No, it’s just that we’ve already learned this content over the summer. The teacher’s lectures don’t add much new information.”
Qiao Sang: “???”
“Classmate, Jin Fanfei, right? Answer this question,” the teacher suddenly called out. “Silver nitrate solution is a slightly corrosive and antiseptic common reagent. Which of the following options can replace the function of silver nitrate solution?”
Without hesitation, Jin Fanfei answered, “The powder from the flower umbrella mushroom.”
The teacher nodded. “Good, the answer is A. You may sit down, and please don’t talk during class. Although you understand these concepts, your desk mate still needs to listen.”
Qiao Sang: “...”
At that moment, Qiao Sang understood.
The gap created during nine years of compulsory education hadn’t been bridged in just three months, preventing her from catching up to her classmates.
If she couldn’t excel in academic scores, she would have to lead in the Beastmaster aspect!
After taking notes all morning, Qiao Sang didn’t leave immediately after school. Instead, she waited at her desk for someone to challenge her.
However, after waiting for a long time, not a single person appeared.
Wang Jihang, returning to the classroom after lunch, saw Qiao Sang still at her desk and asked curiously, “Qiao Sang, why haven’t you left yet? The cafeteria food is almost gone.”
Hearing this, Qiao Sang instinctively stood up but then sat back down.
“I’m waiting.”
“Waiting for what?” Wang Jihang asked in confusion.
“I’m waiting for someone to challenge me,” Qiao Sang replied.
Before Wang Jihang could respond, Chen Dongjun, who had lost to Qiao Sang at the school start ceremony, chimed in:
“With you being so strong, who would dare challenge you?”
Qiao Sang was surprised. “Didn’t you see yesterday? After school, our classroom was surrounded by people all wanting to challenge me.”
"Yesterday is yesterday, today is today; how can they be the same?" Chen Dongjun said irritably. "Yesterday, after your match, Flame Listener couldn't fight, and Treasure Seeker had expended a lot of energy and was exhausted. That was the best time to challenge you, so of course everyone wanted to. Now, after a night's rest, your two freakish familiars have recovered their fighting strength. Who would want to come and get beaten up by you?"
Qiao Sang: "???"
What the heck? Chen Dongjun's words left Qiao Sang utterly confused.
So yesterday was the last day to earn easy points! There won't be such an opportunity again?!
Sure enough, as Chen Dongjun had said, no one came to challenge her until school was over.
The only two who came were one who wanted to take a photo with Fangy and another who wanted to get the Teleportation Codex in advance.
Qiao Sang reflected with deep regret. She should have made Treasure Seeker hold on a bit longer yesterday. When would there be such a good chance to earn points again...
"Seek..."
The hidden Treasure Seeker rubbed its nose, feeling a bit itchy for some reason.
...
After school.
Training Ground 5.
"You want to use the Energy Tester to check your familiars' Energy Levels?" Zheng Guoping asked.
"Yes", Qiao Sang nodded.
"Alright, wait a moment."
Zheng Guoping made a call on the spot, and ten minutes later, a Power Pig brought over an Energy Tester.
"Since the Energy Tester is here, you might as well all test your familiars' Energy Levels!" Zheng Guoping clapped his hands and shouted.
Wang Yao and the others stopped their training and walked over.
"Qiao Sang, you've really done it to me", Shi Gaofeng said with a mournful look at Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"Haha, it's nothing. He gets scolded by Teacher Zheng every time he tests his Energy Level", Wang Yao explained.
Qiao Sang hesitated, then looked at Shi Gaofeng. "Shouldn't you be used to it by now?"
Shi Gaofeng: "..."
Since Qiao Sang had requested the test, she was the first to go.
Treasure Seeker, having been tested before, was familiar with the machine and readily put on the helmet.
Fangy, whose head was too big for the helmet, had to connect to the Energy Sensor instead.
The results were quickly displayed.
Fangy: 42,239.
Treasure Seeker: 12,366.
Qiao Sang wasn't surprised that Treasure Seeker had surpassed the maximum Energy Value for a Junior Companion Beast.
Fangy had broken the maximum Energy Value by learning an Advanced Skill and reaching Mastery in Spark.
Treasure Seeker had also learned an Advanced Skill, and while it hadn't reached Mastery in any skill yet, its proficiency was already absurdly high compared to other familiars of the same rank.
As for Fangy's current Energy Level, Qiao Sang had a pretty good idea.
After the first Energy Level test, she had looked it up online. The maximum Energy Value for an Intermediate Pet Beast was 50,000.
This meant that with all the points added, Fangy's Energy Level was now definitely over the maximum for an Intermediate Pet Beast.
"Qiao Sang, you've really done it to us..." Wang Yao muttered, recalling the numbers he had just seen.
"If I say my stomach hurts now, do you think Mr. Zheng will let me go?" Shi Gaofeng said, on the verge of tears.
Xu Yajie was already trembling as she helped Powerful Duck put on the helmet.
"Xu Yajie! What have you been eating! 36,778 Energy Level! Only 3,000 more than last time! Even Qiao Sang's Flame Listener, who has only evolved for about a month, has a higher Energy Level than you!"
Qiao Sang took a step back, indicating it wasn't her fault.
