Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 627: Admission Letter

Since she was sure she had been admitted to the Imperial Beast University, skipping the next half-month of classes wouldn’t be a big deal… Suddenly, Qiao Sang had the urge to skip the afternoon classes altogether.

But then, she remembered something and decided to tidy up before leaving the dormitory.

Her knowledge in certain areas was indeed lacking, so it was still necessary to attend classes. Besides, there wasn’t anywhere else she could go on Chaosu Star.

She would wait until she officially received the admission letter from the Imperial Beast University in a week before making further decisions…

With that thought, Qiao Sang started walking towards the cafeteria.

“Xun xun?”

At that moment, Little Treasure, who had seemingly been holding back for a long time, finally spoke up, asking if pet beasts in university also needed to attend classes.

I have no idea… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment before smiling and saying, “They probably don’t have to. I heard that university beast tamers and their pet beasts participate in activities together.”

“Xun xun~”

Qiao Sang looked at him with a soft expression.

Forget it. On such a happy day, she should let Little Treasur enjoy himself too…

2:12 PM.

Qiao Sang was sitting in the classroom, snacking on sunflower seeds while playing on her phone.

Tang Yi walked in and immediately noticed this scene.

He sat down in his seat, astonished.

“You’re not reading?”

Qiao Sang continued munching on sunflower seeds.

“There’s no class. Why would I read?”

Tang Yi was momentarily stunned.

“But don’t you usually love reading the most?”

Qiao Sang glanced at him.

“Who said that?”

Tang Yi: ???

Does this even need to be said? Everyone knows that you spend almost all 24 hours of the day buried in a book!

“You… You haven’t been possessed by someone else, have you?” Tang Yi gasped in mock horror.

Qiao Sang paused, then put down her sunflower seeds, leaned in slightly, and whispered,

“I got into the Imperial Beast University, so I don’t need to prepare for the entrance exams anymore.”

“What?!”

Tang Yi shot up from his seat, exclaiming, “You got into the Imperial Beast University?!”

All the classmates turned to look at her in shock.

Qiao Sang cleared her throat and said in a composed manner,

“Keep it low-key.”

“Answer me first!” Tang Yi couldn’t stay low-key at all.

“It’s true.” Qiao Sang tried to suppress the upward curve of her lips as she said,

“Someone helped me send a recommendation letter to the Imperial Beast University. This morning, after class, a professor from the University came to interview me, and I passed.”

Tang Yi stared at her in disbelief for a long moment before sitting down, his expression dazed. He mumbled, “You monster…”

Please, just call me a genius… Qiao Sang internally retorted but held back from saying it out loud, worried it might sound too arrogant.

Suddenly, Yuna, who was sitting nearby, hesitantly asked,

“You really got into the Imperial Beast University?”

Qiao Sang nodded.

“You’re not going to Yulianton University anymore?” Yuna pressed further.

Everyone at school had already heard about how, a month ago, Qiao Sang had received a recommendation letter for Yulianton University.

It wasn’t exactly a secret, every year, the student with the highest accumulated points was usually the one to receive it.

Can I just say that Yulianton University never even contacted me? …Qiao Sang inwardly complained but outwardly remained composed as she replied, “I’m from Blue Star. It’s more convenient for me to study at a school from my own planet.”

Of course, she couldn’t outright say the real reason. The Imperial Beast University and Yulianton University had always been rivals, and saying that would made the academy lose face.

Ever since she burned the Yulianton University letter, Qiao Sang had considered herself a student of the Imperial Beast University.

After a slight pause, she added, “Besides, in the first semester of my freshman year, I’ll be doing an exchange program at Yulianton University. So technically, I’ll have studied there too.”

Getting into the second-best university in the entire interstellar system and then going to the third-best university for an exchange semester… Yuna suddenly felt a pang of self-doubt.

For the first time in her life, she realized just how vast the gap between people could be.

The rest of the class, listening to their conversation, looked at Qiao Sang with expressions that ranged from admiration to envy.

Though none of them would have trouble getting into top-tier universities, schools like Yulianton University and the Imperial Beast University were simply out of their reach…

For a while, the atmosphere in the classroom became a little heavy.

Qiao Sang’s successful direct admission to the Imperial Beast University quickly spread across the entire school, making her once again the center of attention at Sainan High School.

However, this didn’t affect her life much.

Students at Sainan High were naturally reserved, keeping a polite distance in social interactions.

Aside from a handful of them who couldn’t resist coming over to see her when her pet beast, Steel Falcon, evolved into Steel Guardian Falcon, most people merely discussed the news from afar.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Qiao Sang ate and slept well. She felt refreshed, no longer plagued by the dizziness caused by late-night study sessions. In fact, her mind had never felt clearer.

8:13 PM.

Qiao Sang sat in front of her computer, browsing the various items she could redeem with her points.

In a few days, she would be leaving Sainan High School. Since one point was worth 100,000 alliance coins on the market, she might as well use them all before she left.

[Name: Magical Hood]

Function: By absorbing a pet beast’s energy and aura, it can conceal the beast’s appearance.

Note 1: This item only covers the head, leaving the rest of the body unchanged.

Note 2: If used on one pet beast and then switched to another, it must be thoroughly cleaned first; otherwise, it will still carry the previous beast’s aura, reducing its effectiveness.

Note 3: The hood’s size automatically adjusts to fit head circumferences between 10 cm and 1.9 m.

Points Required: 50

Disguising a pet beast’s appearance didn’t seem all that useful, but the hood’s design looked stylish. It would probably look great on Gangbao… Qiao Sang thought as she examined the images of the hood.

Just as she was about to call Gangbao over to ask her opinion, her computer screen suddenly went black.

Then, a barely visible ripple appeared in the center of the screen.

The ripple spread outward in concentric circles, growing larger and larger.

Out of the screen emerged a complexly structured mechanical claw with a dark iron sheen.

The claw was holding an envelope larger than an A4 sheet of paper.

The envelope was sealed with intricate golden wax.

Qiao Sang was startled, staring blankly at the mechanical claw, unable to react at first.

Seeing no one take the envelope, the claw trembled slightly, as if urging her to hurry up and take it.

What the hell…? Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment before accepting the envelope.

The mechanical claw, as if sentient, gave a small wave before silently retreating back into the screen, disappearing without a trace.

A second later, the screen returned to normal.

Qiao Sang lowered her head, looking at the envelope. Suddenly realizing something, she perked up with excitement and eagerly tore it open.

Inside was a red folder with embossed gold lettering, elegant yet prestigious in design.

On the cover, the words were printed clearly:
