Chapter 298: A Way to Make Money

Zhang Junli, a member of the Individual Combat Team of San Song High School's Senior High School Team, was also known as Spiky.

Before each competition, he would gather intelligence on other schools.

Adhering to the principle that money can make even ghosts push mills, the information he gathered helped him achieve good results in the previous and the one before that National School League.

"Are you saying you don't even know what she looks like? And her mobile phone won't work for the next couple of days. What if you can't recognize her when she shows up?" the Boy in the cap asked.

"Don't worry", Zhang Junli chuckled. "I've already agreed on a code phrase with her. Besides, Holy Water High School usually doesn't allow students to go out. If someone comes out at this time, it can only be her."

"That's good." The Boy in the cap finally felt a bit more at ease after asking for a while.

Just then, the school bell at Holy Water High School rang, reaching the outside of the school gates.

Zhang Junli checked the time on his watch and said, "They've finished class. Wait a bit, and she'll be out."

Ten minutes later.

No movement at the school gate.

"Wait a bit longer", Zhang Junli said calmly.

The Boy in the cap remained silent.

Fifteen minutes later, a gust of wind blew, stirring up the dust on the ground.

The school gate still showed no movement.

Not even an ant had crawled out.

"Wait a bit longer! She's definitely coming out soon!" Zhang Junli gritted his teeth.

The Boy in the cap looked up at the sky, patted Zhang Junli's shoulder, and asked, "Look, don't you think it's about to rain?"

Zhang Junli looked up and said, "No way, the weather forecast said there's no rain today."

"Isn't the weather forecast sometimes wrong?" The Boy in the cap pointed to a medium-sized familiar flying overhead, worriedly saying, "Look at that Strider Bird. Its wings aren't even moving."

High school common knowledge: Strider Birds dislike flapping their wings when it's about to rain and instead glide through the air using the air currents.

"Where is it?" Zhang Junli looked around.

Just as his gaze shifted, Qiao Sang rode Fangy to the entrance of Holy Water High School.

Since bonding with Lulu, Qiao Sang had become much more sensitive to the weather. She looked up at the sky and said, "Fangy, it looks like it's about to rain. Do you want to go to the Beastmaster Codex?"

"Yah."

Fangy nodded, indicating no problem.

Seeing Fangy agree, Qiao Sang waved her hand and summoned Fangy into the Codex.

Just as she was about to enter the school gate, a low voice called from behind, "Why did you take so long to come out! We've been waiting for ages!"

Qiao Sang turned around and saw two unfamiliar Boys. Before she could ask who they were, the Spiky Boy quickly approached, excitedly saying:

"Who is Lin Ya?"

Qiao Sang was taken aback and instinctively replied, "A god-like man."

"Exactly! The code phrase matches! It's her!" Zhang Junli turned to the Boy in the cap, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

The Boy in the cap was equally excited.

The two of them looked at Qiao Sang with burning eyes.

Fine, using a code phrase is one thing, but making it so simple... Qiao Sang quickly realized these two had mistaken her for someone else. She was about to explain, "You guys—"

Just then, Zhang Junli pulled out an Azure Dew Crystal from his pocket and said, "I've brought the item. Where's your intel?"

Qiao Sang's eyes narrowed, and she swallowed her words. The information about the deep blue crystal flashed through her mind.

Azure Dew Crystal, a material specifically used for Water Elemental Familiars.

There were countless familiars, and even the most skilled Familiar Forgers and Familiar Trainers couldn't recognize all the materials related to familiars in the world.

Someone like Qiao Sang, a slacker, was even less likely to know.

But there are always some materials that leave a lasting impression.

For example, the Azure Dew Crystal.

Apart from being a specialty of the Yuhua Region, it also has a rather peculiar origin story.

The Azure Dew Crystal is not a naturally occurring mineral crystal. Instead, it forms from the eyes of a King-level familiar, the Early Ring Snail, after decades or even centuries under ultra-low temperatures and ultra-high pressure.

What makes it even more peculiar is an additional condition.

The Early Ring Snail that can form the Azure Dew Crystal must be nearsighted, and severely so at that—anything less than 600 degrees won't do.

Furthermore, the Azure Dew Crystal has another distinctive feature.

Although it is formed from the eyes of a nearsighted Early Ring Snail, the potions refined from it can improve the vision of Water Elemental Familiars, making distant objects as clear as if viewed through an eight-times magnification lens.

Qiao Sang couldn't help but think to herself that these two didn't seem to know the person they were actually waiting to meet.

If her guess was correct, the person they were waiting for should be a student from Holy Water High School. They didn't seem to have any doubts about the gender or age, which meant either they were completely clueless or it was just a coincidence that they matched her.

Most students at Holy Water High School were boarding students and rarely had the chance to go out, so the information they could gather was mostly limited to what happened within the school.

In just a few seconds, Qiao Sang had already run through a lot of possibilities in her mind.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Zhang Junli asked.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment before responding, "What kind of information are you looking for?"

"Just the new member of the Senior High School Team!" Zhang Junli said. "I want detailed information on this person!"

Qiao Sang was taken aback. "You mean me?"

"It looks like we've come to the right person", Qiao Sang said sincerely. "No one knows her better than I do!"

"I told you we came to the right person!" Zhang Junli turned to the boy with the cap, gloating, then looked back at Qiao Sang and said, "Go ahead, the more detailed, the better!"

"Her name is Qiao Sang, she's 15 years old, female, and in Class 1, Grade 1", Qiao Sang said earnestly. "She's very attractive, diligent, and positive. She has a Flame Listener and a Treasure Hunter Demon, and she recently bonded with a familiar. It was seen to be blue, so it's likely a Water Elemental Familiar."

"Wow..." Zhang Junli drew in a sharp breath, his eyes wide with disbelief. "A Flame Listener?! A Treasure Hunter Demon?! And a familiar?! Three in total?! At 15 years old? A sophomore? Are you sure?!"

"Absolutely sure", Qiao Sang said, lowering her voice as she cupped her hand around her mouth.

"The last piece of information is still circulating around the school, and not many people are certain it's true, but I can assure you it is. I've never told anyone else this, so you're getting the exclusive."

As she finished speaking, Qiao Sang stared at the Azure Dew Crystal in Zhang Junli's hand.

Zhang Junli immediately understood and handed the Azure Dew Crystal to her, saying solemnly, "If what you've said is true, you've really done me a huge favor!"

Qiao Sang took the Azure Dew Crystal and smiled genuinely. "Not at all, it's my pleasure. If you need to know anything else, remember to come back to me."

"Definitely!" Zhang Junli promised, patting his chest.

The boy with the cap looked oddly amused.

He had never seen a student from any school sell information about their own school with such a broad smile, usually it was more like a spy meeting.

After the two left, Qiao Sang weighed the Azure Dew Crystal in her hand and pondered for a moment.

It seemed she had found a way to make some extra money...
