Breeders.
A miraculous profession said to be able to determine how long it had been since a pet beast had pooped just by the frequency of its cries.
As long as one became a breeder, even an F-grade one, simply registering with a regional Breeders Association meant a substantial sum of breeding funds would be deposited into their personal account every year.
It truly meant earning money while lying down.
There might be one breeder among every hundred Beast Tamers, but there might not be a single Grade A Breeder among ten thousand breeders.
Qiao Sang's eyes lit up. This was the first time she had encountered a Grade A Breeder.
"Hello, Vice Principal." After greeting him, Qiao Sang turned Fire Fang Dog's head toward Liu Yao. "Fire Fang Dog, come on, say hello to the Vice Principal."
"Fang."
Fire Fang Dog gave a very polite bark.
A smile flashed through Liu Yao's eyes. Before he could speak, Qiao Sang curiously asked, "Vice Principal, do you know how long it's been since my Fire Fang Dog last pooped?"
Liu Yao: "..."
"Hahahahaha..."
Zheng Guoping beside them could not help laughing, only quieting down under Liu Yao's stare.
The notion that breeders could tell how long it had been since a pet beast pooped based on the frequency of its cries was a recent online meme.
The Number Three male guest on a dating reality show was a breeder. Since he was dull, not particularly handsome among the male guests, and his accompanying pet beast was an unpopular Ghost Type pet beast, he was left out in the cold. For eight whole days, not a single female guest chose him.
However, on the ninth day, the Number Two female guest's Swift Horn Deer developed nonstop stomach pain and kept crying after eating the Number One male guest's nutritious meal.
While everyone was blaming the Number One male guest, the low-profile Number Three male guest finally spoke.
"It hasn't relieved itself for over twenty days. It's blocked up. Give it a Smoothie Fruit and it'll be fine."
The Number Two female guest was stunned, because her Swift Horn Deer really had not relieved itself for twenty-three days.
Sure enough, after the Swift Horn Deer ate the Smoothie Fruit and relieved itself, it became lively again.
The Number Two female guest asked how he had known the exact length of time, and the Number Three male guest answered that he could tell from the frequency of its cries.
That answer shocked everyone. You could hear something like that?
The Number Three male guest instantly became the most sought-after male guest, surrounded by female guests every day as they had him listen to their pet beasts' cries.
As a typical researcher, Liu Yao had never watched any dating reality shows.
He looked at Fire Fang Dog and said helplessly, "I don't know."
This old scholar Liu Yao did not know the meme, but Zheng Guoping had watched that dating show with his wife.
How could he have figured it out from the frequency of its cries? The Number Three male guest had clearly sent his Ghost Type pet beast into the girls' rooms to eavesdrop on their conversations.
Qiao Sang had only heard the meme and had not watched the show, so she did not know the details. She had thought it was real. Though disappointed, she did not show it and asked another question instead. "What would happen if Fire Fang Dog soaked in those for half a month?"
Liu Yao explained, "If I'm not mistaken, Fire Fang Dog is currently nearing a critical point. It's somewhat like a sign that a skill is about to awaken, likely a skill related to speed. Vitality Grass and Comfort Heat Powder are medicinal materials that can activate Fire-type energy. Soaking in them for half a month might allow it to break through that critical point early."
Qiao Sang was stunned. In just over ten days, Fire Fang Dog had already learned both Spark and Shadow Clone.
And now there was another one?!
This was a genius Fire Fang Dog!
Qiao Sang looked excitedly at Fire Fang Dog. "Come on, Fire Fang Dog. Quickly thank the Vice Principal."
Not just anyone got to hear the guidance of a Grade A Breeder.
"Fang!"
Fire Fang Dog barked decisively.
Although it did not understand things like critical points, Vitality Grass, or signs, thanking someone when its Beast Tamer told it to could never be wrong.
"Earyii!!!"
Just as Liu Yao was about to say something else, Long Ear Cat suddenly let out a heart-wrenching wail from nearby.
Qiao Sang jumped.
She turned and saw Long Ear Cat curled into a ball, its front paws covering its face as tears streamed down its cheeks. It looked as though it were in unbearable agony.
Fire Fang Dog noticed Long Ear Cat's state too.
Did I beat it into crying?!
At that moment, Qiao Sang and Fire Fang Dog had exactly the same thought.
Feeling a little guilty, Qiao Sang walked over to Zheng Yining and asked timidly, "What happened to Long Ear Cat?"
Zheng Yining turned to look at her and gave a bitter smile. "It's a bit of a clean freak. When it woke up and found Tongue Tongue Drop licking it with its tongue, it became like this."
Qiao Sang: "..."
She could understand!
Fire Fang Dog let out a sigh of relief. As long as it had not done it, everything was fine.
"Teacher, with Long Ear Cat like this, I probably can't continue battling," Zheng Yining said to Sun Boyi beside her.
"Are you forfeiting?" Sun Boyi asked.
"I'm forfeiting," Zheng Yining answered.
She was already one of the five special enrollment picks, so there was no need to keep competing. Besides, with Qiao Sang here, she could not take first place anyway. She did not think Qiao Sang would lose to Li Yang.
"Alright." Sun Boyi nodded. "Then the final match will be Qiao Sang against Li Yang."
Originally, after Qiao Sang and Zheng Yining finished their match, Zheng Yining, as the loser, was supposed to face Li Yang.
Now that Zheng Yining had forfeited directly, Qiao Sang and Li Yang would face each other instead.
Li Yang: "..."
He wanted to forfeit too. His goal of placing in the top three of this Special Enrollment Exam had already been achieved. This girl named Qiao Sang and her Fire Fang Dog were far too brutal. Even Lu Liangye had not been her match, and he did not think he could win. But forfeiting without even fighting would be too cowardly...
Li Yang's pet beast was a Short Tail Snake. Its tail spike was poisonous, its fangs were poisonous, and even the blood in its body was poisonous.
After assessing the situation, Qiao Sang came up with a strategy.
The battle began—
Fire Fang Dog immediately split into two, running in circles around Short Tail Snake at a distance of roughly five meters. Soon, it looked as if there was only a single afterimage.
As the afterimage formed, Sparks continuously shot forth.
Short Tail Snake's eyes followed the constantly moving Fire Fang Dogs until its head spun. In the brief moment it felt dizzy, several flames struck it. It was cleanly and efficiently defeated without even moving.
Li Yang regretted it immensely. Had he known the result would be this miserable, he might as well have found an excuse to forfeit!
What kind of beginner Beast Tamer level was this? Even high school students already attending Beast Tamer schools were probably no better!
Lu Liangye watched from the side with great satisfaction. Compared to this, his own loss did not seem so bad.
"Qiao Sang wins."
After announcing the result, Sun Boyi gathered the top five.
"The results of this exam will be posted on Saint Water High School's official website in two days. Once your High School Entrance Exam results are released, bring your score reports to register at our school. If your scores do not meet the requirements, the spots will be filled by the other specially enrolled students in order."
The contestant who had been eliminated in the first round but had not yet left grew excited. Did this mean he still had a chance?
The next second, he deflated again. As long as they passed the Special Enrollment Exam, even the four below first place only needed to score fifty points above the minimum High School Entrance Exam score.
With such a low score requirement, who could possibly fail?
Sigh...
