Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 603

Chapter 603: Chapter 549: Lose a Few Games

"[Air Absorption, a high-level Flight Type skill, allows for the creation of a temporary vacuum state by absorbing air around.]"

A high-level skill, this Little Steel Falcon could indeed learn it... Qiao Sang closed the computer with satisfaction, without searching how to learn the skill by herself as usual.

Now that she was at the resource-rich Sainan High School, she didn’t need to figure things out alone; asking the teachers was enough.

...

Early the next morning, after arranging things for Yaobao and the others, Qiao Sang arrived in the classroom and saw a neatly folded school uniform on her desk.

Looking over at Tang Yi, he was already dressed in a white shirt, black vest, black suit, and black trousers.

"Did you not sleep well again last night?" Qiao Sang approached, staring at the two dark circles under Tang Yi’s eyes.

"Thinking about how only one match stands between me and that million-point bonus, I just couldn’t sleep," Tang Yi said with a sigh, resting his head on the desk.

Qiao Sang chuckled, "What’s there to lose sleep over? Just compete again."

Tang Yi stared at Qiao Sang with a resentful tone, "Tell me honestly, if you were just one match away from losing the bonus, could you sleep well?"

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and replied, "If I hadn’t experienced yesterday’s arena match and didn’t know how much the bonus was, I probably would be okay."

Hearing this, Tang Yi’s eyes looked even more resentful.

At that moment, Yuna leaned over and asked, "Qiao Sang, are you going again tonight?"

"Of course, why not." Qiao Sang said.

"Then I’ll go with you," Yuna said with a smile.

"I’ll join you guys," Tang Yi said without a second thought. "But once we get there, I’m not sticking with you. I need to go straight to the 11th floor to win the E-rank Beast Tamer arena match and claim the title of defending champion."

After some more idle chatter among the three, Qiao Sang asked, "Do we have a teacher in our grade who specifically teaches Pet Beasts designated skills?"

Yuna replied with a strange expression, "We do, but basically no one goes to these teachers."

"Why not?" Qiao Sang asked curiously.

"Because it costs points." Before Yuna could answer, Gene, who was sitting behind her, leaned forward and whispered, "Low-level skills cost 5 points, mid-level skills cost 10 points, and high-level skills cost 50 points; it’s such a rip-off."

At this, he smiled, and in an even quieter voice, said, "However, if you really want to learn, you can come to me. I’ll arrange for someone from outside to teach you. Seeing as we’re classmates, I’ll give you a friendly discount. You’re the champion, so low-level skills are definitely beneath your notice; just give me 8 points for mid-level skills and 40 points for high-level skills."

All of a sudden, Qiao Sang felt uneasy, "To think it even requires points..."

She had assumed the teaching was free!

"Of course it requires points," Gene went on. "Aside from normal courses, all other teaching resources at our school must be exchanged for points."

Yuna silently nodded.

Qiao Sang was silent for a long while.

She suddenly thought that it might not be so bad to learn Air Absorption and teach it to the Little Steel Falcon herself...

"Do you need it?" Seeing Qiao Sang silent for so long, Gene couldn’t help but ask.

"No need," Qiao Sang decisively shook her head.

Upon hearing this, Gene’s face showed disappointment, but then something seemed to click, and he smiled again, "If you change your mind, feel free to come to me anytime."

In her heart, Qiao Sang thought it was impossible to change her mind since she didn’t have enough points for herself.

But that brought her back to the idea, should she start focusing on earning points...?

With that in mind, Qiao Sang responded earnestly, "I will. And if you ever run into any trouble, feel free to come to me anytime, like if you fall ill or something."

Gene: "???"

...

At 7:30 in the evening, Qiao Sang, riding on Yaobao, arrived at the Hekin building with Tang Yi and the others.

While Tang Yi headed to the 11th floor, she and Yuna went to the 21st floor.

As soon as they entered, Qiao Sang noticed many people were glancing at her now and then, with the same kind of attention she had attracted during the national high school Beast Taming competition.

They hadn’t walked far when a staff member quickly came up to them.

Yuna handed over the VIP card.

The staff member paused for a moment, accepted it with both hands, and then apologized, "Miss, please wait a moment."

After calling another staff member over, he said, "Please take this lady to the private room."
