Chapter 509: Credit Ranking
Chapter 509: Credit Ranking
The Beastmaster Codex had indeed advanced to the fourth page... Qiao Sang felt a surge of joy.
When she realized her Brain Domain Development had reached 29% yesterday, she had a hunch that a breakthrough might be imminent.
But when it actually happened, she couldn't help but feel excited.
After all, a fourth-page Beastmaster Codex is one of the criteria for C-Class Beastmaster certification. Once she successfully becomes a C-Class Beastmaster, she will have the qualifications to participate in the Regional Tournament.
The Regional Tournament is the largest-scale competition in each region.
It gathers almost all the talented and powerful Professional Beastmasters, representing the highest level of combat among the younger generation of Professional Beastmasters in the region.
Every young Professional Beastmaster aims for the Regional Tournament. The honor is one thing, but the fame is also a significant factor.
Anyone who has participated in the Regional Tournament and achieved good results will receive countless invitations and endorsements from major TV stations, ensuring they won't have to worry about resources for a long time.
Though they receive attention like celebrities, their social status and earnings far surpass those of stars.
The Interstellar Cup is too distant, too far-fetched for most to even dream about. The Regional Tournament is already the dream of all Professional Beastmasters, and Qiao Sang is no exception.
She grabbed the mobile phone from the coffee table, eager to look up suitable Bonded Beast Companions.
Having come all the way to Supernest, it would be a shame not to bond with a familiar here.
“Fangy!”
At that moment, Fangy's voice echoed beside her.
Qiao Sang turned her head and was surprised to see the lively Fangy. “You're awake?”
“Ya ya.”
Fangy called out, indicating it had been awake for a while.
Awake for a while? Qiao Sang paused, glancing at the time on her mobile phone—7:58.
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
Damn! It was the second day of school, and she was going to be late again?!
...
Qiao Sang walked into the classroom, drawing the attention of all her classmates.
Being late for two consecutive days, not just in the Elite Class but in the entire Sai Nan High School, was quite rare.
Facing the gazes of her classmates, Qiao Sang calmly took her seat.
What others thought about her tardiness didn't matter; what mattered was that she had missed another significant portion of the class.
"Looks like we have a troublemaker in our class", a classmate whispered beside her.
"She's an Interstellar Exchange Student. The school can't do anything about her constant tardiness."
"I'm so jealous..."
"What's there to be jealous about? Our school operates on a point system. She's a sophomore who was promoted directly. If her grades don't keep up, she'll struggle to earn points in any course except Familiar Battle and field excursions. Being late once deducts three points. She'll lose all her initial points in no time."
"But she's an Interstellar Exchange Student, a champion. She won't lack for resources. Even if she loses all her points, her family won't say a word against her."
"Stop it, you're making me jealous too..."
Qiao Sang heard the conversations around her but kept her expression neutral, pretending not to notice.
During the next break, Qiao Sang turned to Tang Yi at the back of the class and asked:
"What is the point system at Sai Nan High School?"
Tang Yi was taken aback for a moment, remembering that Qiao Sang spent most of her days buried in books, rarely interacting with others. He wasn't sure if Sai Nan High School's point system was all that unusual.
He explained:
"At Sai Nan High School, resources are primarily exchanged using points. Three points can get you resources worth 300,000 Union Coins on the market. You can think of one point as being worth 100,000 Union Coins."
Qiao Sang: "???"
Wait, she remembered someone saying that being late once cost three points. She was late for two days, which means she lost 600,000 Union Coins just like that?!
Tang Yi continued:
"I know you don't lack resources, but some items available for exchange can't be found on the market. I checked the exchange system yesterday, and there are even SS-Tier resources listed."
These few words felt like arrows piercing Qiao Sang's heart.
Qiao Sang fell silent for a long time: "No one has ever told me this..."
"You're always reading, so there's never a chance to chat." Tang Yi lowered his voice: "People here won't tell us these things voluntarily."
"Why not?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Because we're interstellar exchange students." Tang Yi whispered: "Their points start counting from their sophomore year, while we only arrived in the second half of our junior year. The best stuff isn't available for us to exchange, and the teachers here are all from Supernest. To them, we're just here to experience a different learning environment."
"But they might be right in thinking we don't need those resources. After all, we're only staying for half a year. The points we can earn won't be enough to exchange for rare items, and the common ones, we don't really lack."
Qiao Sang processed the information, then said:
"The students here probably don't care much about points, right?"
"Who said that?" Tang Yi sighed: "They come from prominent families, so they might not care about resources, but they do care about credit ranking."
Qiao Sang looked at Tang Yi, gesturing for him to continue.
Tang Yi said:
"Credit ranking is a list that evaluates students' abilities in various aspects. Even if they don't care, their parents definitely do."
"If your points are too low, your family will think you're not capable. Once you're labeled as incapable, it will be hard to be trusted with important tasks in the future."
High school students are already being evaluated for their capabilities—no wonder they come from prominent families... Qiao Sang asked: "So, how do you earn points?"
Tang Yi patiently replied:
"Your grades in each subject, or bringing honor to the school, or helping classmates and teachers. Points can be transferred, and people here basically use points for transactions."
"By the way, how many points did you start with?"
Qiao Sang's heart skipped a beat: "Aren't we all supposed to start with the same points?"
Tang Yi looked at her with a pitiful expression: "You were the champion, I was the runner-up. How could our points be the same?"
Qiao Sang felt a bit awkward. So, initial points were based on that... She cleared her throat and asked:
"Where can I check my initial points?"
Tang Yi glanced at Qiao Sang, his eyes as if looking at a primitive person still using 2G internet.
"Check Sai Nan High School's official website. Log in with your student ID, and you'll see your points." Tang Yi said.
I see... Before class started, Qiao Sang took out her mobile phone and quickly logged into the school's website with her student ID.
"How many points do you have?" Tang Yi asked eagerly.
Qiao Sang's face fell as she replied: "94 points."
94 points, clearly she had already lost 6 points.
600,000 Union Coins, just gone like that...
"You?" Qiao Sang composed herself and looked up to ask.
Tang Yi was silent for two seconds: "Can you guess?"
Qiao Sang: "..."
Tang Yi was on the verge of tears. He never knew the champion and runner-up had such a huge difference in points! 20 points, he couldn't even bring himself to say it!
