Chapter 629: Chapter 570 Direct Passage Chapter 629: Chapter 570 Direct Passage “Yaobao…”

Yaobao displayed an awkward expression.

Although it didn’t recognize words, it knew that the appearance of a note spelled trouble.

It looked like she had indeed been set up… Qiao Sang almost failed to maintain her facial expression.

“I didn’t expect Qiao Sang of Sainan High School to be the first to draw lots, truly surprising,” the principal of the other school said with a smile: “Congratulations on bypassing two rounds in a row.”

I see your face shows no surprise at all… Qiao Sang said calmly, “I also didn’t know I was this lucky.”

Of course, it wasn’t a matter of luck… The crowd all had that “I know, you know, we all know” kind of smile on their faces.

…

On the way out of the competition venue, Qiao Sang couldn’t resist asking:

“What features does the pouched bird have?”

“Rain disc.” Hughlis thought for a moment and said, “Most pouched birds have the rain disc feature, which allows them to slowly recover during the rainy season.”

“Anything else?” Qiao Sang asked further.

Hughlis shook his head: “That’s it. Any other features depends on if the individual pouched bird has any talents.”

Overhearing the conversation, Geta turned and asked:

“Are you interested in pouched birds?”

Qiao Sang didn’t hide her intentions and replied directly:

“I just want to know how you managed to make me choose the pouched bird with the note so precisely.”

Upon hearing this, Hughlis laughed:

“This is no secret on Chao Su Star; many entertainment shows use pouched birds for interactions with guests, where people have to choose something. It’s been revealed that there is a net-like pouch under the pouched bird’s beak. Producers place an item in the pouch of the bird’s beak beforehand, and the bird presses it under its tongue, in the ‘pouch,’ until the prearranged guest chooses it, and then the bird puts the item back on its tongue.”

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched.

She had thought it was some magical feature, but it turned out to be just exploiting the physical characteristics of the pouched bird…

No wonder everyone else was so calm about her bypassing the rounds twice; everyone knew how the system was rigged except her…

…

The next afternoon, Qiao Sang came to the Pet Beast Battle Arena, carrying Yaobao in her arms.

The morning had decided who would move on to the semi-finals.

The spectator stands were nearly full to capacity.

Today was the last day of the friendship match, and some students from the other school who weren’t competing or volunteering also came to watch the matches, creating a very lively atmosphere.

“Is that person holding a pet beast Qiao Sang? She looks so young, not at all like a senior.”

“That’s her, the only contestant here who carries her pet beast.”

“I heard she has a nearly extinct pet beast, is that true?”

“I’m not sure, but it must be true; otherwise, such an outrageous rumor wouldn’t have spread.”

The crowd turned their heads, discussing Qiao Sang among themselves.

Some of them came to watch the competition largely because they were very interested in Blue Star’s pet beasts.

Although they had money and the capability to contract pet beasts from other planets, everyone clearly understood that it was better to thoroughly know the pet beast you contracted.

Even if heartstrings were tugged by pet beasts from other planets through events like The Interstellar Cup, they would resist, preferring to contract one when their Beast Tamer level was higher.

“Stop looking. There’s a huge risk in contracting a pet beast from another planet, and you want to contract a newly evolved type, at that. Do you know about its evolution methods? Don’t end up finding out that being advanced is its endpoint,” remarked a curly-haired Black girl, trying to dissuade her friend Levina from impulsively wanting to contract a Fire-Toothed Dog.

“I know, but don’t you think the Liaoxing Dog looks really cool?” Levina gazed longingly at a miniature version of the Liaoxing Dog in the distance.

The Black girl frowned slightly:

“Our Chao Su Star has many good-looking pet beasts; you don’t have to contract one from another planet.”

“But the Liaoxing Dog really catches my eye,” Levina argued.

The Black girl sighed silently: “I’m just advising you to be cautious. This isn’t a small matter.”

Her friend was great in many ways; she was just a little too fixated on appearances.

“I’ll think it over; Qiao Sang won’t return to Blue Star for another year, so I have plenty of time to consider,” Levina said with a smile.

It wasn’t like there were no other ways to get someone from Blue Star to bring a Fire-Toothed Dog to her, but after all, it was a pet beast from another planet. It wasn’t the same as getting to choose from one’s own planet where you could bring a whole lineup and pick your favorite; at most, you’d select a pet beast on Blue Star and then bring it over.
