It wasn’t until the third class break that Qiao Sang received a private message from Yuliandun University’s official backend:
[Pet Beast Potion Department, Senior Year (Class 2) - Leona: I have B-level Flame Cleansing Potions, one bottle costs 5 points, payment must be settled in full. Do you accept?]
Qiao Sang’s first thought was: Damn, that’s cheap! You know, back when I borrowed books related to material types for the vice principal, I’d spend 5 points a day.
Her second thought was: Let’s counter; maybe I can get a discount...
With that in mind, Qiao Sang typed: [If I purchase in bulk, can you offer a discount?]
About a minute later, the other party replied:
[No discount on points, but I’ll throw in an extra bottle of B-level Flame Cleansing Potion.]
One treatment course needs 10 bottles, three courses for effectiveness—an extra bottle, huh. Useful? Qiao Sang muttered to herself while replying: [Deal.]
As far as she was concerned, this point offer was already a pleasant surprise. She was about to leave Yuliandun University soon, and unused points would be wasted anyway.
Once the message was sent, the next second, a notification popped up in the backend:
[Pet Beast Potion Department, Senior Year (Class 2) - Leona has accepted your task.]
...
After the morning classes ended, students gradually left the classroom.
Qiao Sang sat quietly in her seat, waiting.
"Ya Ya?"
Yaobao looked up, confused—aren’t we leaving?
"You want to train your Fire Element energy temperature, right?" Qiao Sang explained, "I bought Flame Cleansing Potions, which can enhance the temperature of Fire Element energy. Someone will deliver them soon."
"Ya Ya!"
Hearing this, Yaobao’s eyes lit up, its tail wagging wildly as it happily nuzzled its Beast Tamer’s cheek.
"Gangzhan..."
Gangbao silently watched this scene from the side. When it saw its Beast Tamer’s satisfied expression, it couldn’t help but imagine itself in Yaobao’s place.
Its head was so hard—if it were to nuzzle like that, its Beast Tamer definitely wouldn’t have the same expression...
At that moment, a tall, black-haired, dark-eyed senior walked into the classroom.
Heavy dark circles under her eyes—which unmistakably suggested frequent late nights.
Beside her was a monkey-type Pet Beast about one meter tall, carrying a backpack, nearly entirely white, with equally heavy dark circles under its eyes.
Qiao Sang instantly recognized her as Leona, the one who had accepted the task.
The senior walked directly towards her.
Biannao Monkey, General-level Pet Beast of the Normal Element, known for its excellent memory and reportedly possessing human-like intelligence... Information about the beast instinctively flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.
Just as she was about to speak, a voice, sharing the same tone as Little Treasure Hunter, rang out:
[Let me take a look~ Bianji Monkey, General-level Pet Beast of the Normal Element, exceedingly intelligent. When deep in thought, it tilts its head back to increase brain cell activity. In summary: smart brain, lousy fighter.]
Qiao Sang: "..."
The Biannao Monkey silently glanced in the direction of the suddenly appearing Pet Beast Identifier.
Soon, the Pet Beast Identifier vanished.
Leona seemed not to have heard the identifier’s voice, as her expression remained unchanged while confirming:
"Qiao Sang?"
"That’s me." Qiao Sang nodded.
"Your 30 bottles of Flame Cleansing Potion."
Leona finished speaking, and the Biannao Monkey placed its black backpack on the desk and unzipped it.
Qiao Sang glanced inside—each bottle contained a bright red liquid potion.
The Biannao Monkey began setting the potions neatly on the desk, one by one.
"Please count them," Leona said.
No need to count; the Biannao Monkey’s one-by-one placement handled that... Qiao Sang said, "No need; I trust you."
"Ya, ya, ya..."
Yaobao raised its paw and seriously counted each bottle, one by one.
Leona hesitated for a moment, slightly surprised by such a response.
The Biannao Monkey took several sheets from the backpack and handed them over.
"Here are the identification certificates for the potions," Leona’s tone softened, as if after pulling an all-nighter, she’d just taken a nap, visibly improving her mood.
