Chapter 496: It's Over!
Chapter 496: It's Over!
"Supernest?" Ye Xiangting was momentarily at a loss.
Qiao Sang nodded, "I won the championship this time, and the country has given me a spot to be an Interstellar Exchange Student at Supernest. I have to leave before the second semester starts, so I probably won't be able to celebrate the New Year at home."
There were less than two weeks left until winter break, which would last about a month. The journey from Blue Star to Supernest by starship would also take about a month.
In other words, she would likely have to leave immediately after this semester ended.
Go to Supernest as an Interstellar Exchange Student?!
Ye Xiangting stared at her daughter in shock, unable to speak for a long time.
She had been in a state of shock quite often recently.
Her daughter had won first place in the regional competition, all three of her familiars had evolved to the advanced stage, she had defeated a High-Rank Dragon Familiar, and she had overcome the terrifying General-Class Beast Companion. Each time, Ye Xiangting was left in awe.
She thought that after all these shocks, her ability to accept new surprises had reached a certain level, but she had clearly overestimated herself.
This... she's going to another planet?
The living room fell silent.
Ye Xiangting suddenly asked, "Can family members go with you?"
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and replied, "I don't think so."
Darn, she wished she could go too... Ye Xiangting felt a bit melancholic.
A region was vast, and people might not be particularly interested in other regions, but no one could resist the allure of other planets. Space travel had always been a romantic topic.
However, boarding a starship to travel to another planet came with numerous requirements and procedures, making it far from a simple endeavor.
After a brief moment of melancholy, Ye Xiangting's face took on a proud expression:
My daughter, I gave birth to her!
Then she suddenly remembered something and quickly pulled out her mobile phone to check her contacts.
Not calling all the aunts and uncles again, right... Qiao Sang mused and asked, "Mom, who are you calling?"
"The manager of the Capital Grand Hotel", Ye Xiangting said while scrolling through her phone. "You won the championship, so we have to celebrate properly. I booked ten tables at the Capital Grand Hotel, but the reservation was for when you have winter break. I'm calling to move it up to this Saturday."
It wasn't the aunts and uncles... Qiao Sang felt a sense of relief.
Five minutes later, her mother was sitting on the sofa:
"Hey, Second Sister-in-Law, I've moved the Feast to this Saturday. Will you be free then?"
"It's not that I'm busy, it's Qiao Sang. She just told me that the country selected her to be an Interstellar Exchange Student at Supernest. She won't be here for the New Year, and she'll probably have to leave right after this semester ends."
Ten minutes later, her mother was leaning back on the sofa:
"Sis, yeah, Qiao Sang is back. What else would she be doing? She's definitely studying. She participated in the National School Beastmaster League and has missed a lot of classes."
"I'm calling to move the Feast to this Saturday. It's because Qiao Sang just said..."
Fifteen minutes later, her mother was lying on the sofa:
"Big Brother, are you busy..."
Qiao Sang: "..."
...
After dinner, Qiao Sang went to the largest room on the second floor.
The room was already fully furnished, with a cozy and warm style.
The new bedroom was much larger than her old room, providing ample space for Fangy, Treasure Seeker, and Lulu to move around.
After a quick look at the layout, Qiao Sang took out her textbooks and the notes she had "scavenged" from the study gods and began to study diligently.
Although she knew it would be difficult to learn all three years of high school curriculum in just a few months, she still wanted to try taking the College Entrance Exam in her first year.
Apart from her desire to develop in the Hollow Plains as soon as possible, there was a very practical reason: the current level of Beastmaster training in high school was no longer sufficient to help Fangy and the others make rapid progress.
All her classmates only had Junior and Intermediate Beasts. Even if someone was willing to spar with her every day, it wouldn't add many Points.
If she had to stay in high school for two more years, it might take Fangy and the others a very long time to evolve to the General-Class.
In the past, it was Fangy and the others who had been working hard. Now, it was her turn.
Qiao Sang quickly flipped through the textbooks.
Unlike the high school curriculum from her previous life, the knowledge in these books was almost entirely new to her.
Geography, astronomy, history, and Beastmaster and familiar-related topics.
Fortunately, the Chinese language only required rote memorization. Even though the math problems were all related to familiars, she no longer found them incomprehensible. By memorizing the basic formulas and practicing different types of problems, scoring around 322 points wasn't entirely out of the question.
She just needed more time.
The light shone on the girl's face, as if coating it with a layer of white radiance.
Unbeknownst to her, it was already past midnight.
Drowsiness crept over her, and Qiao Sang glanced at the time on her mobile phone: 12:03 AM.
"Treasure Seeker, take me to Lulu", Qiao Sang said, turning her head.
"Seek~"
Treasure Seeker called out.
In the next second, Qiao Sang appeared by the pool.
The villa she had bought came with a pool, and Lulu had fallen in love with it at first sight. She spent most of her evenings there.
"Lulu, are you asleep?" Qiao Sang called out.
"Icechill." Lulu poked her head out of the water.
"Give me a Healing Light", Qiao Sang said.
Without asking why, Lulu immediately cast a Healing Light.
As the blue light dissipated, Qiao Sang felt invigorated. She turned to look at Treasure Seeker.
"Seek~"
One glance was all it took, and Treasure Seeker understood immediately.
The next moment, the scene in front of Qiao Sang changed back to her room.
Having a familiar was truly amazing... Qiao Sang sat down at her desk and continued studying.
Lack of time? Just push through it!
...
Over the next few days, with the help of Healing Light, Qiao Sang studied almost 24 hours a day without sleeping.
While her physical state was fine, the constant studying began to take a toll on her mentally.
But with the College Entrance Exam just a few months away, Qiao Sang persevered.
Before she knew it, it was the last class on Friday.
As the class ended, a clear and crisp announcement rang through the school's intercom:
"Class 1, Grade 1 student Qiao Sang, Class 1, Grade 1 student Qiao Sang, please come to the Principal's office immediately. Your interstellar visa and Interstellar Exchange Student acceptance letter have arrived. Please come to the Principal's office to collect them!"
All the students, including the teacher, were instantly abuzz with excitement.
Why didn't they just send a teacher to tell her? Why announce it over the intercom? It's so embarrassing... Qiao Sang put down her book, got up, and walked out of the classroom.
...
Principal's office.
"Why did you announce it over the intercom?" Liu Yao frowned.
Wang Weidou took a sip of tea and said, "What do you know, you research-focused guy? Our school has produced an Interstellar Exchange Student, and that's an honor! Of course, everyone should know about it. It will also motivate the students to study harder."
Liu Yao was about to speak.
"Knock, knock."
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Wang Weidou's eyes lit up, and he instinctively sat up straight, putting away his casual demeanor. "Come in!"
