Chapter 610: I Will Not Fail My Mission!
The next day.
Qiao Sang put on her black and white school uniform and left the dormitory.
After bringing Fangy and the others to their usual spot, she headed to the classroom.
Unlike usual, the classroom was surrounded by students from other classes, all discussing the Steel Sparrow's new evolution.
With the school being small, everyone was part of the same social circle, and the news had already spread throughout the entire school by last night.
People like them rarely agreed on something they found interesting.
But even the children of wealthy families, who were used to seeing the best, found it hard to resist the allure of a familiar's new form.
Especially since the person with the new form was right here at their school.
"I heard it's a Bond Evolution."
"You don't know? I was stunned when I heard the news yesterday!"
"Bond Evolution? That's just a guess, right? How could a Steel Sparrow undergo a Bond Evolution?"
Qiao Sang listened to the voices ahead as she approached the door of Class 3-6, pretending she knew nothing and preparing to walk inside.
"Qiao Sang!" Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice rang out.
Everyone fell silent instantly.
So many people can still see me... Qiao Sang turned around with a helpless expression, looking toward the source of the voice.
The voice belonged to Mabel, who had recently joined her on a trip to Sector 1 for the team competition.
Mabel, who was usually shy, felt embarrassed and awkward when everyone fell silent because of her sudden outburst.
But when she saw Qiao Sang stop and look at her, her desire to see the Steel Sparrow's new form took over.
"Is it true? Did Steel Sparrow really evolve into a new form?" Mabel's eyes lit up as she asked.
Everyone turned to Qiao Sang, waiting for her response.
Although the news had spread from Class 3-6 and some students with connections to the Trustee had confirmed it, it was still best to hear it from the person involved.
"Um, yes", Qiao Sang replied.
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately buzzed with excitement.
"Can you summon it for us to see?" a female classmate asked, her voice trembling with excitement.
Sigh, class is about to start, and with so many people around, it's not a good time to summon... Qiao Sang thought to herself but didn't answer right away.
At that moment, Mabel's eyes brightened as she had an idea. She called out loudly:
"I'll offer 2 credits! No, 3 credits! I'll offer 3 credits if you summon Steel Sparrow's new form and let me touch it!"
Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment, then her face broke into an unusually bright smile. She stepped forward and grabbed Mabel's hand, pulling her to a less crowded area.
"You said 3 credits, right? I'll find a place to summon it for you to touch."
Seeing this, everyone seemed to understand what was happening.
The crowd, which had been buzzing a moment ago, became even more excited.
"I'll offer 3 credits too!"
"Let's team up, I can give you 3 credits as well!"
"Let me touch first! I'll offer 4 credits!"
"Don't drive up the market price! 5 credits! I want to be the first to touch!"
"Alright, alright! Everyone calm down! We'll take turns, everyone will get a chance!" Qiao Sang said, her face beaming with excitement.
She hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise so early in the morning. A group of people was lining up to give her credits!
Judging by the number of people, even if the school only gave 20 credits for a Junior Familiar evolving to Intermediate, she would be able to gather her 1000 credits!
...
After the second class in the morning, Qiao Sang looked at the 1121 credits on her school account, unable to stop smiling.
I’m rich! Not only did I gather 1000 credits, but I have 121 extra!
If she had to earn these credits through the usual means, she would need to rank first in her class 12 times to get the additional 121 credits.
Under normal circumstances, ranking first even once was impossible for her.
But now! In just a single morning! She had earned 324 credits!
Of the three goals she had set last month, she had missed the monthly exam because she was in Sector 25 for Zhongkong University's special recruitment. However, the first goal of making Steel Sparrow evolve and the third goal of reaching 1000 credits before graduation had been not only achieved but exceeded!
Qiao Sang took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement, and tapped into the credits exchange menu to prepare for the Dream Insight Stone she had been eyeing for so long.
However, the moment she opened the credits exchange menu and started browsing, her expression froze.
Where's the Dream Insight Stone?!
Where's the Dream Insight Stone that costs 1000 credits?!
Calm down, maybe it's just a different order... Qiao Sang steadied herself, sorted the items from highest to lowest credits, and carefully scanned through them from top to bottom.
Then she was completely stunned.
Gone, the Dream Insight Stone was gone... Just a minute ago, Qiao Sang had struggled to control her excitement, but now her face was completely frozen, finding it hard to accept this reality.
At that moment, the Class Teacher appeared at the door and called out,
"Qiao Sang, come out for a moment."
Qiao Sang was still reeling from the shock of the Dream Insight Stone's disappearance and didn't move.
"Teacher is calling you", Yuna nudged Qiao Sang, reminding her.
"Oh." Qiao Sang finally stood up, her mind still dazed, and walked out of the classroom in a daze.
Class Teacher Mudeli looked at her and said with a smile,
"The Flying Familiar Research Institute has sent a researcher who wants to meet your Steel Sparrow."
"Oh." Qiao Sang responded numbly.
Mudeli noticed that Qiao Sang seemed a bit out of it but didn't think much of it, as there were many important people waiting, and meeting the researcher was the priority.
Qiao Sang followed Mudeli.
They arrived at a Companion Training Hall.
The Training Hall was empty, with only a few middle-aged men and women in formal attire, including the Principal of Sai Nan High School.
"This is Qiao Sang", the Principal introduced, a rare smile breaking through his usually stern face.
"Hello, I am Wang Rui from the Third District Flying Familiar Research Institute", a man with black hair and eyes, typical of Dragon Nation, introduced himself.
"Hello", Qiao Sang replied, maintaining her composure.
In the social world, no matter how bitter it is inside, one must always wear a smile, unless one has reached a level where social niceties are no longer necessary.
Qiao Sang clearly hadn't, she was still a struggling student.
"I'm here to see your Steel Sparrow's new form", Wang Rui got straight to the point. "Any new form of a familiar is of great significance to the Alliance, and they want me to understand as quickly as possible how the Steel Sparrow evolved."
"If it's a bond evolution, I hope you can describe how you usually interact with Steel Sparrow. If it's not a bond evolution, I hope you can cooperate with our institute during your time at Supernest for related research."
You want me to cooperate without any benefits? What are you thinking? When Fangy evolved into a Flame Listener, the Vice Principal gave me a position as a Junior Researcher with a monthly salary of 100,000. I don't want to hear any grandiose talk about serving the Alliance... Qiao Sang couldn't help but complain internally. It was the College Entrance Exam period, and she didn't want to work for free.
At that moment, the Principal's voice interrupted her thoughts,
"By the way, I've discussed with the Trustees, and the Dream Insight Stone will be delivered to your dormitory this afternoon as a reward for discovering a new familiar species for the Alliance."
"This time, you must cooperate well with Researcher Wang Rui. It's an honor."
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
Qiao Sang's demeanor turned righteous and solemn,
"I will not fail my mission!"
