Chapter 548: The Desire to Learn
Chapter 548: The Desire to Learn
Jude's lips twitched slightly. "The amount is quite substantial. We didn't expect you to leave so soon, so we're still calculating it."
The amount is quite substantial... Qiao Sang's smile couldn't be contained, and she said cheerfully, "No rush, take your time. I'll be waiting for you in the 03 private room upstairs."
With that, she started to walk away.
"Wait!" Jude quickly stepped in front of Qiao Sang. "There's one more thing. Would you be willing to be our guest at the Arena Battles tomorrow?"
Guest? Qiao Sang glanced at Wang Xue Zhi in the commentator booth and promptly declined, "Sorry, I might not have the time."
No way, she didn't even know Supernest's familiars, let alone the Artifacts and Spirit Patterns. Going up there would just be embarrassing.
Jude hadn't expected such a straightforward refusal. He tried again, "You can come at any time, as long as you can stay for three hours, whether in the morning or evening. Just contact me, and we'll send someone to pick you up."
As he spoke, he handed her a business card.
Qiao Sang took the card and was about to refuse again when Jude added, "We won't waste your time. After the event, we'll pay you 100,000 Union Coins."
To be honest, being a guest was a relatively easy job. There were dedicated commentators, and she would just need to sit there and say a few words. The offer wasn't bad.
Unfortunately, this was the wealthiest period of her life.
Qiao Sang was tempted but not much. She declined again, "I really don't have the time. I still have school, but I'll come back here to participate in the Arena Battles in the evening."
You'll continue to participate in the Arena Battles? Why didn't you say so earlier... Jude smiled, "In that case, I won't push you. I hope there's a chance for you to be our guest in the future."
...
Qiao Sang walked into the private room, and Yuna and Tang Yi immediately surrounded her.
Yuna's eyes sparkled. "Qiao Sang, you're so amazing!"
Of course, I'm the champion... Qiao Sang modestly replied, "That's because my opponents didn't know much about my familiars."
"Don't you also not know their familiars?" Tang Yi smiled. "Don't be modest. I always thought you wouldn't lose."
Qiao Sang summoned Fangy and Lulu while asking, "What did you bet on in the last match?"
Tang Yi sighed. "3:0, you 3, Frida 0."
Friend, you're just blindly trusting me. The others have a Champion-level familiar, and you still bet on them getting 0... Qiao Sang pretended to focus on summoning, as if the topic hadn't come up.
Tang Yi's tone changed, filled with trust. "If your Blazing Star Hound was in Prime Condition, I believe the first round wouldn't have ended in a draw!"
"Icechill."
Lulu, who had just been summoned, looked at the injured and unconscious Fangy and frowned slightly.
What kind of opponent? So strong that even Fangy couldn't win?
"Lulu, heal Fangy", Qiao Sang said.
"Icechill."
Lulu nodded, and the white gem on her forehead glowed with a blue light.
Yuna stared at the familiar radiating a mysterious aura, her heart racing.
This familiar is so beautiful!
As a fan of aesthetics, she knew more about the Coordination Competition than the Beastmaster Combat Contest.
At first glance, she was confident that this familiar's appearance alone could cause a stir in the coordination circle.
"Qiao Sang, what's this familiar's name?" Yuna took a deep breath and asked.
"Icechill", Qiao Sang replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, Fangy was fully healed.
Yuna's eyes lit up even more. The name sounds great, and the healing skills are so strong!
"Can I pet it?" Yuna asked hopefully.
"Icechill."
Lulu gave her a wary look and emitted a slight chill.
Qiao Sang shook her head. "I don't think so. Lulu doesn't like others touching it."
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy patted Lulu with his claws.
That's right, this guy doesn't like others touching him.
“Icechill……”
Lulu glanced at Fangy.
“Fangy?”
Fangy blinked her big, wet eyes.
Lulu glanced again.
Fangy blinked once more.
Lulu: “……”
Yuna couldn’t hide her disappointment as she let out a dejected “oh.”
After all, Fangy was an Endangered Familiar. If she were that easy to touch, the people in the Ancient Fog Region would have gone crazy. Tang Yi mentally rolled his eyes at this.
At that moment, a knock came at the door.
Yuna said, “Come in,” and the door opened automatically.
A staff member walked in and respectfully handed Qiao Sang her contestant card:
“The amount for your performance tonight, along with the twenty percent of the Bet Pool as stipulated in the agreement, is all on this card.”
“How much?” Qiao Sang asked.
“3.23 million,” the staff member replied politely.
“Three million, two hundred and thirty thousand?!” Qiao Sang’s voice shot up, almost jumping out of her seat.
“3.23 million,” the staff member repeated.
Qiao Sang took the card with a dazed expression.
Tang Yi looked bewildered. So, they could earn this much money?
Then he thought of something and his face turned painful.
So, the last time he participated in the E-Rank Beastmaster Arena Battles, he missed out on a million in dividends?!
The staff member bowed and left.
Was it really that easy to earn money? If he came every day and won the Champion of the Day each time, then... hehehe... Just as Qiao Sang was getting more and more excited, Yuna spoke up:
“The dividend agreement might be signed with the same person many times, but once you become the Champion of the Day, the agreement will never be offered to you again.”
Qiao Sang: “……”
She heard a faint “crack.”
The sound of a shattered dream...
...
Sai Nan High School.
Dormitory Area 1.
Dorm 502.
Qiao Sang checked her balance excitedly.
[Your savings account ending in 0666 has a balance of 5,127,833.67 yuan...]
The 3.23 million in dividends, plus the winnings from the twenty or so 3-0 matches Yuna had placed bets on, and her previous balance, had all added up to over five million yuan in just one night.
While an Unlimited Credit Card was great, it didn’t show a specific balance. Many things couldn’t be bought with it, and it couldn’t be cashed out like a regular credit card. It always felt a bit intangible and hard to grasp.
But the money in her savings account was real, tangible, and visible.
Qiao Sang felt delighted.
No wonder so many people spent their days in the Familiar Arena Battles. The speed of earning money was much faster than going on missions.
Of course, the speed of spending it was also faster...
Qiao Sang put down her mobile phone, adjusted her mindset, and started working on her problems.
Suddenly, she felt a Blue Light behind her.
Qiao Sang turned around and saw Lulu casting Healing Light on Fangy.
When the Blue Light dissipated, Fangy was seen looking energetic and lively.
“ aren’t you going to sleep?” Qiao Sang asked, surprised.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy called out seriously.
She wasn’t going to sleep; she needed to practice holding her breath!
She had lost to that bird last night because she couldn’t hold her breath long enough!
Qiao Sang was greatly shocked. She hadn’t expected Fangy to have such determination.
She didn’t notice that Steel Sparrow, listening nearby, had a thoughtful expression.
...
Half an hour later.
“Fangy”
Fangy had her eyes closed and was drooling.
Qiao Sang: “……”
So, Lulu’s Healing Light only kept Fangy awake for half an hour...
Lulu never used it when Fangy wanted to stay up late for training, so she hadn’t noticed this before...
“Ganggang.”
At that moment, Steel Sparrow called out.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang turned to ask.
“Ganggang.”
Steel Sparrow called out seriously, indicating she wanted to learn.
Qiao Sang was taken aback. “Learn what?”
“Ganggang.”
Steel Sparrow pointed at Fangy with her wing.
She wanted to learn the skills that had helped the bird win against Big Brother last night.
