Chapter 550
Chapter 550
[Air Absorption, Advanced Flight Skill, creates a brief vacuum by absorbing the surrounding air.]
This Advanced Skill could be useful for the Steel Sparrow... Qiao Sang closed the computer in satisfaction, not bothering to search for how to learn skills as she usually did.
Now that she was at South Sai High School, renowned for its resources, she could simply ask a teacher if she didn't understand something.
...
The next morning, after making arrangements for Fangy and the others, Qiao Sang entered the classroom and saw a neatly folded school uniform on her desk.
Tang Yi was already dressed in a white shirt, black blazer, black suit, and black pants.
"Did you have trouble sleeping again?" Qiao Sang asked, approaching Tang Yi and noticing the dark circles under his eyes.
"Every time I think about how close I was to that million bonus, I can't sleep", Tang Yi sighed, resting his head on the desk.
Qiao Sang chuckled, "What's there to lose sleep over? Just go and compete again."
Tang Yi stared at Qiao Sang, his tone filled with regret, "Be honest, if you were just one match away from the bonus, could you sleep well?"
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and replied, "If I hadn't experienced yesterday's Arena Battles and didn't know how much the bonus was, I probably wouldn't have had any trouble."
Hearing this, Tang Yi's expression grew even more pained.
At that moment, Yuna leaned in and asked, "Qiao Sang, are you going tonight?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I?" Qiao Sang responded.
"I'll go with you", Yuna said with a smile.
"I'll go with you too", Tang Yi said without hesitation. "But once we get there, I won't be able to stay with you. I need to go to the 11th floor and win the E-Class Beastmaster Arena Battles to become the Champion of the Day."
After a bit more idle chat, Qiao Sang asked, "Is there a teacher in our grade who specializes in teaching specific familiar skills?"
Yuna's expression turned odd. "There is, but almost no one goes to these teachers."
"Why not?" Qiao Sang asked curiously.
"Because it costs credits", Gene, who was sitting behind Yuna, leaned forward and whispered, "Low-tier skills cost 5 credits, mid-tier skills cost 10 credits, and high-rank skills cost 50 credits. It's a total rip-off."
He then smiled and said in an even quieter voice, "But if you really want to learn, you can come to me. I can get someone from outside to teach you. Considering we're classmates, I'll give you a friend's discount. For a mid-tier skill, just 8 credits, and for an advanced skill, 40 credits."
Qiao Sang felt a chill. "Credits are required...?"
She had assumed it would be free!
"Of course", Gene said. "All extracurricular teaching resources here require credits."
Yuna nodded silently.
Qiao Sang fell silent for a long moment.
She suddenly thought that researching Air Absorption and teaching it to the Steel Sparrow herself might not be so bad after all...
"Do you need it?" Gene asked, unable to wait for her response.
"No, I don't", Qiao Sang shook her head firmly.
Gene's face fell in disappointment, but then he perked up with a new idea. "If you change your mind, feel free to come to me anytime."
Qiao Sang thought to herself that there was no way she would change her mind, especially since she didn't have enough credits herself.
But then again, maybe she should start thinking about earning some credits...
With that in mind, Qiao Sang said sincerely, "I will. If you ever need anything, like if you get sick or something, feel free to come to me."
Gene: "???"
...
At 7:30 PM, Qiao Sang rode Fangy to Herkim Tower with Tang Yi and the others.
Tang Yi arrived at the 11th floor, and she and Yuna made their way to the 21st floor.
As soon as they entered, Qiao Sang noticed that many people were glancing at her from time to time, much like the attention she received during the National Campus Beastmaster League.
After just a few steps, a staff member hurried over.
Yuna handed over the Vip Card.
The staff member hesitated for a moment, then took it with both hands and apologized, "Miss, please wait a moment."
He then called over another staff member, "You take this young lady to the private room."
He himself then turned to Qiao Sang with a respectful attitude, "Miss Qiao Sang, we have specially prepared a private lounge for you. Please follow me."
So this is what they mean by becoming famous overnight... Qiao Sang nodded, "Alright."
Yuna: "???"
No! We came together!
...
The evening match went smoothly, and Qiao Sang won every round. Even in the final match for the Champion of the Day, she didn't face any particularly tough opponents.
As she left the arena, the crowd cheered, and some people even approached her with pens, asking for autographs.
This caught Qiao Sang off guard.
She had only competed for two days, and she was already this famous?
While Qiao Sang was surrounded by the enthusiastic crowd, unsure whether to sign the autographs, a business card was handed to her.
She looked up to see a man with yellow hair.
"Miss Qiao Sang, I'm a talent agent from Innovate Co. I was wondering if you would be interested in collaborating with us. I..."
Before the yellow-haired man could finish, another middle-aged man pushed him aside and smiled as he handed over his card.
"Miss Qiao Sang, I'm a talent agent from Weydo Co. ..."
"Do you even understand the concept of first come, first served? I haven't even finished speaking!" the yellow-haired man angrily pushed the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn't get angry; instead, he continued to smile at Qiao Sang.
"This man seems to have quite a temper. Working with him would definitely be difficult."
Upon hearing this, the yellow-haired man's face turned completely black. "I'll take you on!"
With that, he threw a punch.
The two quickly got into a scuffle.
Qiao Sang: "..."
No, they were just talking, why did it escalate to fighting?
Fortunately, the staff intervened in time and "escorted" both men out.
At that moment, Jude approached and said with a smile, "Miss Qiao Sang, may we have a chat?"
...
In the private lounge.
Yuna sat on the sofa, sending messages in a group chat on her mobile phone:
[As expected of a champion. She's only been here for two days, and the Familiar Arena officials have already taken notice.]
Meanwhile, Qiao Sang was having a conversation with someone.
Jude said, "For each of your appearances, we will add a 10% bonus to the Bet Pool. All you need to do is cooperate with our promotions and use the artifacts and spirit patterns provided by our partners during matches."
"Of course, the amounts provided by the partners will be split 80-20, with you taking the larger share."
"You can also tell us what kind of artifacts and spirit patterns you prefer for your familiar, and we will seek out the appropriate partners."
"As long as you're here, you can use the private lounge, and no one will disturb you."
"If you have any other needs, feel free to let us know."
"When it comes to collaboration, no one is more sincere than the Familiar Arena officials."
Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds before asking, "Such good treatment can't just be for using some artifacts and spirit patterns, right?"
Jude smiled, "You are indeed a smart one. Actually, it's not much. We just need you to step in and win the crucial matches for us, and..."
He paused and looked at Yuna.
"I'll go make a call first", Yuna said, very tactfully.
She got up, pushed the door open, and kindly closed it behind her.
Jude then continued, looking at Qiao Sang, "And to lose a few matches when necessary."
