Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309: Chapter 296: Gathering Intelligence

If there’s media coverage, that’s free advertising.

Qiao Sang thought the likelihood of media coverage was 99.99%.

After all, every time there was news, the media flocked to it like flies to fresh dog shit, and even when there was no hot news, they would report trivial matters or make up some nonsensical news.

For example, "When a school in the Yuan River region had a power outage, a teacher made the Magnetism Mouse work overtime to generate electricity," "A child born 20 days ago, his mother went to the Secret Realm to earn milk powder money," "A one-armed Gravity Monkey delivers 3000 packages a day, buys a house and car, supporting a family! What excuse do you have for disliking disabled Pet Beasts?"

Similar boring and nonsensical news was reported by the media every day, let alone a bona fide school Beast Taming competition.

As expected, the deputy headmaster on the other end of the phone said:

"Of course. There may be less media during the preliminary rounds of the campus Beast Taming competition within the province, but the official platform will livestream the event throughout, and when it comes to the finals of the campus Beast Taming competition within Zhehai Province, they will be livestreamed on two major satellite channels of our provincial TV station."

"If you care about your image, make sure you look good, style your hair nicely, but you can’t change your clothes, we have a uniform."

Qiao Sang automatically ignored the last sentence.

Satellite channels are regional TV stations that can be watched nationwide.

This meant that the Yuhua Region competition could be watched in the Ancient Mist Region as well.

Thinking about it, Qiao Sang felt that the deputy headmaster’s reminder about image wasn’t entirely unreasonable...

...

The next day, Qiao Sang woke up from her sleep and checked the time on her phone.

October 11th, 6:45 AM.

There were only 16 days left until the national campus Beast Taming competition.

"Yaobao! Time to get up!"

"Ya..."

Qiao Sang really wanted to take a leave of absence, but alas, not a single one of her classmates had requested leave since the start of school, and she had done it so frequently that she felt embarrassed to ask the teacher.

The bell for the break between classes rang.

Students from other classes excitedly ran to the corridor to get some air or went to the restroom in groups, but Class 1’s students stayed unmoved, eyes glued to their books, as if their butts were stuck to the chairs.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but turn and ask, "Do you know when the national campus Beast Taming competition starts?"

"I think it’s October 27th." Jin Feifan put down his book to answer.

Qiao Sang nodded, "That’s right, October 27th!"

Jin Feifan picked up his book again.

Qiao Sang pressed down on the book with her hand.

"What’s up?" Jin Feifan looked up, puzzled.

"Today is October 11th." said Qiao Sang.

Jin Feifan still didn’t get it, "I know that."

Qiao Sang looked at him with expectant eyes, saying, "There are only 16 days left until the national campus Beast Taming competition."

Jin Feifan felt a chill from Qiao Sang’s intense gaze, thought for a long while, and then asked, "Are you nervous?"

Qiao Sang: "..."

You’re not even nervous, how could I be nervous... Seeing that her deskmate didn’t get her point, Qiao Sang had to steer the conversation again, "Do you want to take a leave of absence?"

Jin Feifan asked with a clueless expression, "Why should I take a leave?"

"The national campus Beast Taming competition is coming up, right? Taking a leave would give us more time to train." Qiao Sang suggested.

Jin Feifan said, "I don’t want to."

"Why not?" enquired Qiao Sang.

"Because I think it’s more reliable to earn a top spot in a prestigious school by academics than to hope for the first place in the provincial competition," Jin Feifan said honestly.

Qiao Sang: "..."
