11:12 PM.

Sainan High School.

As soon as she arrived at the dormitory, Qiao Sang summoned Lubao.

“We’ll do the tests tomorrow. For now, let’s all get to know each other. If nothing unexpected happens, you’ll all be companions from now on.”

Qiao Sang had already looked up detailed information on Steel Falcon back at the manor.

Steel Falcon, a dual-attribute beginner-level pet of the Flying and Steel types. It possessed excellent flight abilities and an extremely intelligent mind, making it one of the few bird-type pets with high defense.

However, due to its extreme intelligence, many Beast masters found it difficult to control. As a result, it was not recommended for rookie Beast masters.

Its feathers were incredibly tough. Yet, despite their heaviness, it could still fly with ease.

It had high defensive and endurance capabilities.

According to the information online, Steel Falcon should be able to adapt to all four seasons on Blue Star, so forming a contract shouldn’t be a problem.

After saying that, Qiao Sang went to the bathroom, leaving the pets behind.

“Gang Gang.”

Steel Falcon glanced at Lubao and immediately assessed that this was yet another creature it couldn’t defeat.

It let out a call as a greeting.

“Xun Xun!”

“Xun Xun!”

Little Treasure enthusiastically waved his little claws and took on the role of storyteller, recounting everything that had happened that night.

From being deceived, to having its home destroyed, to relying on sheer determination to travel from 27th District to 3rd District, Little Treasure vividly narrated every detail.

“Yap Yap.”

Yabao nodded along as he listened, acknowledging that this newcomer was indeed impressive.

“Gang Gang…”

Steel Falcon felt a bit embarrassed hearing all that praise.

Lubao listened quietly. Though her expression didn’t change much, she kept her gaze on Steel Falcon, eventually focusing on its injured claws.

“Lu.”

Lubao called out a greeting, then the white gem on her forehead lit up, casting a healing light over Steel Falcon.

“Gang Gang…”

A refreshing coolness spread through its body, making Steel Falcon feel immensely comfortable. It couldn’t help but let out a cry of delight.

As the light faded, it suddenly realized something and raised its left claw to inspect it.

The injury was completely healed, there wasn’t a single trace of a wound left.

“Gang Gang!”

Steel Falcon was shocked. It put down its left claw, then lifted its right claw for comparison.

It repeated this motion several times before turning to Lubao with a serious expression. Without hesitation, it extended its wing and plucked several feathers from its body, offering them to Lubao.

“Lu…”

Lubao was momentarily stunned by this gesture.

At that moment, Qiao Sang stepped out of the bathroom. Seeing the scene before her, she twitched at the corner of her mouth.

“Stop plucking your feathers so recklessly. If you keep doing that, you’re really going to go bald.”

“Gang Gang.”

Steel Falcon solemnly placed the feathers before Lubao. It wasn’t just giving them away randomly.

Qiao Sang couldn’t understand Steel Falcon's words, but before Little Treasure could translate, she suddenly thought of something and asked:

“Are you male or female?”

She figured that since it didn’t care about going bald, it was probably male.

“Gang Gang.”

Steel Falcon answered.

“Xun Xun~”

Little Treasure translated.

Qiao Sang was stunned.

“You’re female?”

“Gang Gang.”

Steel Falcon nodded.

Qiao Sang was a bit surprised.

She hadn’t expected a female Steel Falcon to be so unconcerned about her appearance…

Yabao soon fell asleep. Lubao merged into her water bowl. Little Treasure played on his phone, while Qiao Sang sat at her desk, planning the next day’s activities.

She needed to test Steel Falcon's resistance to cold and heat. If there were no issues, they could proceed with the contract.

After the contract was formed, she’d need to visit the Beast master Center to register the information and take the D-rank Beast master qualification exam.

Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment. She remembered that when she took the E-rank Beast master exam, there were fixed time slots for the assessments. She wasn’t sure if the same rules applied on Chaosu Planet.

With that thought, she opened her laptop to check the exam schedule for professional Beast masters.

[On Chaosu Planet, the Beast master Center operates 24/7, and professional Beast masters can take the exam every day. Walk-in registrations are available from 9 AM to 9 PM.]

The Beast master Center here operates 24 hours a day?!

Qiao Sang was shocked.

On Blue Star, only medical and lodging services were available at night, everything else was closed.

They were both Alliance-run Beast master Centers, so why was there such a huge difference?

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but grumble internally.

Just then, a growl sounded.

Qiao Sang turned toward the source of the noise and saw Steel Falcon standing on the windowsill with its back to her.

It’s still awake…

Qiao Sang instinctively checked the time, 12:23 AM.

She didn’t say anything, just got up and walked out of the room.

A moment later, she returned with a plate of energy pellets.

“You must be hungry. Come and eat.”

“Gang Gang.”

Steel Falcon turned around and looked at Qiao Sang, then at the energy pellets on the floor. She wanted to refuse, but just then, her stomach let out another growl.

Blushing slightly, she hesitated for two seconds before flapping her wings and flying over.

She lowered her head to take a bite, paused for a moment, then quickly sped up her eating pace.

“These are just standard energy pellets. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to a breeder who can create custom pellets for you. That way, eating them will help you grow stronger faster.” Qiao Sang smiled.

In truth, the pellets Steel Falcon was eating weren’t that ordinary. Sainan High School made these specially for their students’ pets. However, they weren’t personalized, just generic pellets that all pets could eat.

“Gang Gang…”

Steel Falcon paused for a moment, then continued eating.

The next morning.

Under the effect of Lubao’s Healing Light, Qiao Sang felt refreshed as she brought Steel Falcon to a climate hall on campus.

This facility could simulate both summer and winter environments.

It was a classic case of wanting what one didn’t have.

Chaosu Planet had no summers or winters, so wealthy and bored individuals would install climate rooms in their homes and invite friends over to experience different seasons.

As a renowned aristocratic school, Sainan High naturally had such facilities.

At the entrance, an electronic screen displayed instructions. Qiao Sang scanned her school ID, and the doors automatically opened.

The moment she stepped inside, a gust of cold wind hit her. She instinctively hugged Yabao tighter for warmth.

Inside, snowflakes drifted down, and the floor-to-ceiling glass walls were not transparent but instead functioned as massive holographic screens, displaying a snowy landscape.

“Gang Gang…”

Steel Falcon, seeing this scene for the first time, was momentarily stunned.

Someone’s here…

Qiao Sang scanned the room and spotted a person bundled in a thick blanket in the corner.

The student seemed engrossed in something and occasionally chuckled.

The temperature was around 10°C…

Qiao Sang estimated that it wasn’t cold enough for a proper endurance test.

So, she walked over to the student and asked, “Hey, can I adjust the temperature for about half an hour?”
