Chapter 34: Chapter 31: Fooled by Him
The students of Shengshui Middle School mostly lived on campus, and those who resided outside would use the school’s south gate, while external personnel like Qiao Sang uniformly used the north gate.
The north gate was tightly closed, and the guard in the security room had not yet begun work.
Qiao Sang checked the time for the nth time.
8:52 AM.
Only 28 minutes left until the special recruitment exam assembly time of 9:20 AM at Shengshui Middle School.
Aside from Qiao Sang and the Fire-Toothed Dog, there was not a soul passing by the grand northern gate.
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but yawn wearily.
If only she’d known, she would have stayed in bed a bit longer and not arrived so early…
8:58 AM.
Eight black dots appeared in the distance and quickly approached, finally landing at the north gate, stirring up the dust on the ground.
Qiao Sang forced her drowsy eyes to open a bit wider.
They were eight Black Beak Sparrows, each about 2 meters in size.
Their beaks, like their feathers, were all black, and they had a pair of attractive black, curled tails that were easy to recognize.
From the backs of the eight Black Beak Sparrows, six boys and two girls disembarked one after another, all appearing to be about her age.
“Hello, that will be 8,000 Alliance Currency in total,” said the man on the back of one of the Black Beak Sparrows.
“We signed up for the group rate,” a girl with a bob haircut wearing a red hairband hurriedly said.
The man looked to his companion with a questioning glance to confirm if this was the case.
His companion nodded, “They did sign up for the group rate.”
“Then it’s 7,222 Alliance Currency,” the man said.
“Can we get a further discount? We might call you again later if we head back late,” asked the tallest among the six boys.
“Let’s settle this trip’s payment first,” the man did not directly answer.
With the conversation having reached that point, they naturally paid the money first.
After the payment was made, the tallest boy then asked, “How much of a discount can we get if we call you later?”
“None,” the man replied.
“What?” The tallest boy was baffled.
“No discount,” the man repeated his answer.
The crowd: “…”
…
While this group was chatting and trading, Qiao Sang had already entered Shengshui Middle School with the Fire-Toothed Dog. freewebnøvel.com
At 9 AM sharp, the uncle guard came out from the school and opened the gate.
It was as if he clocked in at the exact right moment…
Following the route provided on the official website of Shengshui Middle School, Qiao Sang arrived at the number three field.
There were only four teachers on the field, and compared to Hangkang’s Sixth Beast Taming Middle School, it seemed like they didn’t place much emphasis on this special recruitment competition.
“Teacher, I’m here for the exam,” Qiao Sang approached and said.
“Your identity card,” Sun Boyi said concisely.
Qiao Sang took out her identity card and handed it over.
“Qiao Sang, from Wen Cheng Junior High?” Sun Boyi looked down to confirm the identity card with the information.
“Mhm,” Qiao Sang replied.
Sun Boyi made a checkmark behind Qiao Sang’s name on the paper, “Go sit over there for now, we’ll start when everyone is here.” He then returned the identity card.
When Qiao Sang walked to the side, Qin Wen commented with interest, “That girl actually contracted a Fire-Toothed Dog.”
“Everyone who awakens on their own thinks they are exceptional, is it rare for the first one to contract some difficult-to-control Pet Beast? Isn’t Lu You, who got a guaranteed place at our school, contracted with a young Dragon-type Pet Beast?” Zheng Pingguo said dismissively.
Qin Wen secretly rolled her eyes.
How could that be the same?
The temper of a young Dragon-type Pet Beast was far better than that of a Fire-Toothed Dog; it was only because it was a Dragon-type Pet Beast that the price was too high and not many could afford to contract one.
One relied on courage to contract a Fire-Toothed Dog while another relied on financial power to contract a young Dragon-type Pet Beast, how could they be the same?
However, Zheng Pingguo was not easy to talk to, easily combusting over little things, and she didn’t feel like arguing with him about it.
