3:23 PM.
After finishing its weight training, the Fire-Toothed Dog came over to Qiao Sang.
Having adapted to the training over the past few days, the Fire-Toothed Dog's stamina had significantly improved, and it was still able to stand properly at the end of the training.
Qiao Sang took out the Miracle Source Milk she always carried and handed it over.
The current level of training meant that the Fire-Toothed Dog had to drink 8 or 9 bottles of Miracle Source Milk every day.
Watching the Fire-Toothed Dog chug down three bottles of Miracle Source Milk in a row, Qiao Sang felt a bit of financial anxiety again.
This money just flew away too quickly; in less than a week, she was down to around 30,000 Alliance Currency, and she estimated that by the end of the day, her assets would start with a '2'.
She still needed to find a way to make money.
Qiao Sang had thought about asking her mother directly, but seeing her leave early and return late each day, and then still having to cook dinner and prepare the pet beast's energy meal, she felt a bit hesitant to ask.
However, right now, the priority was the middle school exams; making money could wait a bit longer.
Once the Fire-Toothed Dog finished its Miracle Source Milk, Qiao Sang took it with her on the number 28 bus.
...
New Ocean Bookstore.
Since today was a day off, there were quite a few people in the bookstore, mostly students.
Qiao Sang was on the second floor, in the middle school section, selecting the set of middle school exam papers she wanted to buy to practice with.
Just as Qiao Sang finished choosing and was heading downstairs, a voice called out to her.
"Beautiful girl!"
"Knight!"
"Knightess!"
"The beautiful girl with the Fire-Toothed Dog!"
Qiao Sang then turned her head around.
It seemed like she was the only one in the bookstore with a Fire-Toothed Dog by her side.
A girl with a bun and bangs came walking over quickly.
"Why didn't you respond to me?" the girl complained.
She looked somewhat familiar...
Qiao Sang couldn't remember where she had seen her before, but she was sure they had met.
"Ya," the Fire-Toothed Dog barked, clearly recognizing who the person was.
The Fire-Toothed Dog actually knew this person?
"Oh, it's you. I didn't notice just now," Qiao Sang said, composed.
"I recognized you immediately, especially with the Fire-Toothed Dog by your side. It's very eye-catching," the girl said with a smile.
Qiao Sang blinked, signaling her to continue.
"I haven't had the chance to thank you for the incident on the bus last time. I did send you a message to thank you, but you didn't reply," the girl continued.
Qiao Sang remembered.
It was Bai Yunmiao, the girl who sat next to her on the bus the day she received 50,000 Alliance Currency.
"I haven't been checking messages much lately," Qiao Sang explained.
She had been busy training the Fire-Toothed Dog and studying, hardly checking her phone.
"Knightess, you really are different. You can even withstand not checking your phone. I can't do that," Bai Yunmiao said admiringly.
After speaking, she noticed the papers in Qiao Sang's hand and curiously asked, "Why are you buying middle school exam papers?"
"Isn't the middle school exam coming up in a few days?" Qiao Sang replied with a question.
"The middle school exam has something to do with you buying... holy crap!" Bai Yunmiao suddenly realized.
Unlike earlier when she had tried to keep her voice down, this time she exclaimed without restraint, standing out awkwardly in the quiet bookstore.
The people around who were reading frowned and looked over.
Bai Yunmiao quickly covered her mouth and then looked at Qiao Sang in disbelief, asking in a lowered voice, "Are you still a middle school student?"
"Don't I look like it?" Qiao Sang said, somewhat glum. Could it be that she seemed more mature?
