For her second pet beast, Qiao Sang was leaning toward Plant Type or Water Type pet beasts that could learn healing skills.
If a team had a healer, its safety factor would absolutely shoot through the roof.
Then, when venturing into the wilderness where Extraordinary Creatures lived, they would have the confidence to go deeper.
However, most pet beasts with healing skills were reserved in advance by medical institutions. Ordinary pet tamers found it difficult to book one on the market.
Qiao Sang was in no hurry. It was merely an idea she had for now.
The matter of a pet beast egg could wait. The most urgent issue ahead was Fire Fang Dog's breeding.
Having accepted that her Pet Beast Codex had awakened again, Qiao Sang finally understood why her strength had suddenly increased so much.
Both the improvement of a pet tamer's Pet Beast Codex within their brain domain and the evolution of a pet beast could provide a certain degree of feedback to the pet tamer.
Judging by the timing, the changes in her brain domain must have occurred while she was sleeping after returning from the High School Entrance Exam.
After finishing her analysis, Qiao Sang calmed down. She looked at the sleeping Fire Fang Dog and pulled a few tissues from the bedside table to wipe away its drool.
Only five days had passed in the Pet Tamer Association before the High School Entrance Exam results were released. The efficiency was practically twice that of the Education Bureau in her previous life.
Candidates could directly enter their exam admission number into the Hanggang Education Enrollment Examination public account on their phones to check their results.
As soon as the news came out, every candidate who had just taken the High School Entrance Exam immediately pulled out their admission ticket and phone.
Qingcheng Jiayuan.
Building C, Room 606.
Qiao Sang stared at the score on her phone without saying a word for three seconds.
Her mother could not hold back any longer and anxiously asked, "How much did you get?"
Today was the day the results were released, so Ye Xiangting had specifically postponed work and stayed home.
"Mom, I have something to tell you. Don't get too excited," Qiao Sang said seriously, looking up.
"I'm not excited. Go on," her mother replied loudly.
"I got into Saint Water High School," Qiao Sang said with a smile.
"Huh?" Ye Xiangting froze.
"I said I got into Saint Water High School," Qiao Sang repeated.
"Saint Water High School..." Her mother repeated the words under her breath. She looked at her daughter in a daze and asked, "How many points did you get?"
"Yaya!"
Fire Fang Dog answered while looking at the phone in Qiao Sang's arms.
Qiao Sang smiled and stroked Fire Fang Dog. "359 points. Thanks to Fire Fang Dog, I got first place in Saint Water High School's Special Enrollment Exam last time, so I only needed to meet the minimum score for the High School Entrance Exam to get in."
If she had not placed first in that Special Enrollment Exam, Qiao Sang would have needed to score fifty points above the minimum cutoff.
"Yaa..."
Fire Fang Dog gave an embarrassed cry.
The Education Bureau had announced this year's minimum cutoff score last night. It was 329 points, three points lower than the previous year.
Qiao Sang had scored a full thirty points above the cutoff.
Saint Water High School...
First place in the Special Enrollment Exam...
359 points...
The bombshell left Ye Xiangting a little dizzy. She snatched her daughter's phone and brought it close to inspect it.
They were clearly just a few simple numbers, yet Ye Xiangting looked at them four or five times before finally confirming them.
It really was 359 points...
Qiao Sang waited beside her for quite a while, but her mother did not praise her. The next second, her mother tossed the phone back at her, pulled out her own phone, and started making calls.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Calling your grandpa and grandma to tell them the good news!" her mother said excitedly.
Qiao Sang: "..."
True enough, they should tell Grandpa and Grandma this news and make them happy.
Eighteen minutes later.
"Mom, didn't you finish talking to Grandpa and Grandma? Who are you calling now?"
"Your eldest uncle."
"..."
Twenty-five minutes later.
"Second sister-in-law, how has Li Chuan been lately? It's nothing, I just wanted to chat..."
Thirty-six minutes later.
"Brother-in-law, is my sister nearby? It's nothing. My daughter just finished her High School Entrance Exam recently. She did all right, nothing special, only just barely above the minimum cutoff. High school? Brother-in-law, you're not from Hanggang—do you know Saint Water High School?"
An hour later, her mother was still on the phone.
"Mom, I'm heading to school first," Qiao Sang said, holding Fire Fang Dog.
The report cards were being handed out today as well. The time had already been announced in the group chat, and students were told to go in.
"No, no, how could my daughter be as promising as your Jia Jia? I heard your Jia Jia is always in the top three of the class. My daughter is basically always in the bottom three. This time, she only got into Saint Water High School."
Without even looking up, her mother waved a hand to indicate that she could leave.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Wencheng Middle School, Class 3-7.
The area where the academic underachievers gathered.
"How were your grades?"
"Are you even my friend?"
"What's wrong?"
"Us guys have three things we don't ask when making friends: grades, family background, and parents. Especially grades," Guo Linze said seriously.
"...I'm not your friend. I sit in front of you, so how many points did you get?" Fang Sisi retorted.
Guo Linze: "..."
He did not want to answer that question. His eyes shifted, and he spotted Qiao Sang coming in with Fire Fang Dog in her arms.
"Holy crap, a Fire Fang Dog! Qiao Sang, you've got guts!" Guo Linze shouted.
By now, all the students whose brain domains had successfully awakened had contracted pet beasts, so Qiao Sang openly brought Fire Fang Dog into school.
She had thought that since everyone had pet beasts now, it would not draw much attention. But she had still underestimated the appeal of a Fire Type pet beast.
From the moment she entered the school gates, nine out of every ten people turned to look at the Fire Fang Dog in her arms. The one who did not was shortsighted and not wearing glasses.
"You're not bad yourself. You contracted a Short Tail Snake," Qiao Sang said, looking at the Short Tail Snake coiled around Guo Linze's head.
Although the Short Tail Snake was one of the choices for novice pet tamers, its popularity had always been the lowest among the five recommended beginner pet beasts because it was Poison Type.
Those who contracted one were generally braver novice pet tamers.
"Still, I can't compare to you," Guo Linze said sincerely.
Although Short Tail Snakes were Poison Type, they had gentle temperaments. As long as a pet tamer was careful, there would be no problem. But if things went wrong with a Fire Fang Dog, it could give its own pet tamer a good blast.
Qiao Sang smiled without saying anything. She had just sat down when she noticed Fang Sisi had nearly moved to the seat beside them.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang asked curiously.
"Nothing," Fang Sisi said, trembling.
"Yaa."
Fire Fang Dog recognized Fang Sisi and greeted her amicably.
Fang Sisi froze for a moment, then slowly moved her chair back.
Seeing Fire Fang Dog obediently staying in Qiao Sang's arms, Fang Sisi let out a deep sigh. "I finally understand. It's not that Fire Fang Dogs are well-behaved—it's that your Fire Fang Dog is."
Qiao Sang looked at the Cotton Segment Worm in Fang Sisi's arms and had already guessed what had happened. Suppressing a smile, she asked, "What happened? Didn't you say last time that you were going to contract a Fire Fang Dog too? How did it turn into a Cotton Segment Worm?"
Fang Sisi shot Qiao Sang a resentful look. "The moment I entered the Fire Fang Dog base, I nearly lost my hair. After finally picking out a quiet one to contract, I only touched its head when it blasted me with Spark. The new dress I had just bought was ruined."
Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment before saying, "Maybe the Fire Fang Dog you picked wasn't quiet enough."
Fang Sisi said bitterly, "It was quiet enough. It was the only Fire Fang Dog that was sleeping."
Qiao Sang: "..."
