Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 696

Chapter 692 Freshman Assessment

The area where the freshmen of the Beast Taming Department are located.

The three of them got to know each other better during their casual chats.

“Did you see that?” Laila Li pointed to one of the nine big guys on the stage and said, “That’s the dean of our Beast Taming Academy.”

Qiao Sang looked in the direction she pointed and saw an old man with half white hair, a wrinkled face, but a ruddy complexion.

“I heard that this Gilbert Heron is 483 years old.” Langdon, the brown-haired boy, said in a low voice.

483 years old? Qiao Sang was really shocked: “So old?”

She looked at the big guy in the distance who was older than her grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather with a look of astonishment.

To be honest, it was mentioned in the textbook that when a beastmaster reaches a certain level, the feedback can be used to affect his lifespan and he can live much longer than ordinary people, but this was the first time she had seen someone who lived so long in reality.

Rounding it off, it’s almost five centuries…

“The older you are, the stronger you are.” Langdon did not hide his desire: “I must live that long in the future.”

Laila Li held a different opinion: “Living long does not necessarily mean you are strong. For example, Peter Newer was only a C-level beastmaster, but with the help of Shenghengmomu’s ability, he lived to 329 years old.”

“He was just an exception.” Langdon retorted.

What the hell? A C-level beastmaster lived to 329 years old? What kind of pet is Shenghengmomu, so awesome? ! Qiao Sang’s pupils shrank slightly, and she wanted to ask, but in order not to expose her “student scum” nature in front of her new friends, she silently took out her mobile phone and began to search for “Shenghengmomu”.

Soon, the page jumped and relevant information appeared.

[Shenghengmomu, a pet in the legend of Chaoxiu Star, can increase the lifespan of all things, but the price is still unknown. It is said that it will only wake up once every 500 years. 】

There are actually pets that can increase the lifespan of all things… Qiao Sang thought she had learned a lot.

Just as she was checking, a speech began on the stage.

However, Qiao Sang’s ears were automatically filtered. When she put the phone back into her pocket, she only heard the person on the stage say:

“This assessment will give corresponding points based on the results. You may not know the importance of points yet. Let me explain it to you here.”

“With points, you can buy any redeemable items in the school. Many subjects involving professional knowledge also require points to listen, borrow books, and live in a good dormitory. All of these require points.”

“As long as you give enough points, teachers and students from any department can serve you. S-level trainers, prop masters, pharmacists, spirit pattern masters, mechanics, appraisers, spirit plant masters… These talents are not lacking in our school.”

“In other words, as long as you have points, you can get everything you want here!” As soon as

this was said, the whole hall suddenly set off a tidal wave of noise.

Everyone has heard about points in the past few days since they came to report. They know it is important, but they don’t know it is so important!

“Ah! A senior took me to the dormitory, toured the campus, etc., and asked me to give her 2 points. Did I get cheated?”

“Oh my God! A senior borrowed 10 points from me. Can I not get them back?”

“Fuck, I saw a domineering peacock on the day I reported. When it saw me, it shook its body and dropped a feather. Then a senior appeared and insisted that I plucked the feather and asked me to pay 3 points. Now think about it, did I get scammed?!”

The freshmen began to talk about their experiences in the past few days, and condemned the seniors for using various means to cheat them of their points.

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something, took out his mobile phone, and checked the email sent by Yulianton University.

He soon stopped on a line of words.

[From now on, new students will be issued 100 points. 】

At this time, Qiao Sang heard Laila Li say with a regretful tone:

“If I had known that points were so important, I would not have let that senior sister teleport me to the reporting office on the day of reporting!”

Qiao Sang asked: “The one with 1 point?” Laila Li

looked over instantly: “You also teleported?

” Qiao Sang shook his head: “No.”

Laila Li: “… “

Langdon looked around and said in a surprised tone:

“I didn’t expect so many people didn’t know the role of points in Yulianton University. I thought everyone had learned about the situation here before coming to Yulianton University.”

Qiao Sang glanced at him: “There is no news about Yulianton University on the Internet.”

Like those well-known top universities, there is basically no information about their internal management on the Internet. There are only school rankings and environment, teacher background information, outstanding alumni, and some research and achievements.

Langdon was silent for a moment, and then he coughed and said:

“Yulianton University is mainly to let everyone understand that here, you still have to rely on yourself. Among the students who go to Yulianton University, there are some students from ordinary families. If everyone needs points, then to a large extent, the opportunities are equal.”

Qiao Sang understood a little.

During this period, she had an unlimited card and knew that some top resources and talents could not be obtained with money alone. Points here could weaken the influence of large families, and in a sense, they could achieve equal starting points.

The teacher on the stage continued:

“The assessment of each college is independent, and you do not need to communicate with each other. Now, please pick up the smart glasses in front of you to confirm the content of your assessment.”

Smart glasses? Qiao Sang looked forward and found that a pair of transparent smart glasses appeared out of thin air where there was nothing before.

Using space movement to transfer objects collectively?

How much proficiency is required to do this?

I don’t know if the little treasure hunt will work… Qiao Sang thought while putting on the smart glasses in front of him.

I saw a virtual panel frozen in mid-air.

[Please enter your student number and password]

Qiao Sang raised his hand and clicked.

Soon, new content appeared.

[Name: Qiao Sang]

[Major: Beast Tamer]

[Points: 0]

[Task: Defeat any beastmaster in the Beast Tamer Academy who has a water, ground, rock, ghost, evil, electric, grass, steel, fighting, or fire beast (one point for each one defeated)]

[Note: Do not take off your smart glasses during the battle]

[Test location: Any location.]

[End countdown: 2:59:52]

The total test time is three hours… But why are the attributes of the opponent’s beast specifically stipulated? There are obviously general, ice, flying, dragon, poison, insect, fairy, and superpower beasts… Does it mean that defeating a beastmaster with these beast attributes will not count as points… Qiao Sang looked at these stipulated attributes, his brain worked quickly, analyzing, and then he thought of something, and suddenly it became clear.

Water, ground, and rock restrain fire.

Ghost and Dark restrain Ghost

and Psychic restrain Water.

Rock, Steel, Fighting and Fire restrain Ice.

Fighting and Fire restrain Steel…

The purpose of the assessment is to let them defeat opponents with attributes that just restrain their own… If so, wouldn’t it mean that the attributes of the opponents that everyone needs to defeat are different… If one is not careful and chooses the wrong opponent, it may be a waste of fighting and lose the physical strength and energy of the pet… Everyone is afraid that it will take a lot of time just to select the opponent…

And there are only so many pets with certain attributes. If others fight first, once the fighting power of the opponent’s pet is gone, you can’t initiate a battle again… After thinking it through, Qiao Sang pressed his finger on the side of the frame of the smart glasses, and the virtual panel disappeared.

…

At the same time, several teachers in the Beast Taming area began to talk:

“Everyone wants to find a pet with opposite attributes to fight, but for others, it is a perfect restraint. Fighting will be a waste of time. The purpose of this assessment is to allow everyone to communicate more and learn more about pets.”

“Everyone has more than one pet. If you want to find an opponent with opposite attributes and make the other party agree to fight, both sides must have pets that restrain each other. You compete and I compete, only then can we fight. I think everyone needs to chat for a long time first.”

“Maybe some of them are just fools and fight without understanding clearly?”

“Impossible. After all, they are students of our Yulianton University. They are definitely different from those beast tamers who rely on brute force.”

…

The freshman area of the Beast Taming Department.

The freshmen also quickly understood the purpose of the assessment and talked to the students around them:

“What attributes do you have for your pets?”

“Water, grass, poison, what about you?”

“I won’t tell you, none of your pets can restrain mine.”

“…”

In order to fight smoothly, both sides must have pets that are restrained, but finding such an opponent is not something that can be done immediately.

The freshmen of the Beast Taming Department are all here. Some people want to get to know more people before making an appointment to fight. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find classmates from their own department after leaving. After all, everyone is a stranger.

For a while, students from other departments got up and left one after another, but no pair of students from the Beast Taming Department had successfully made an appointment to fight.

Amid the conversations of the crowd, Qiao Sang slowly got up.

It’s too troublesome. Just selecting opponents takes a lot of time. In this time, maybe the fight is over… Qiao Sang held Yabao, cleared his throat, and said loudly:

“100 points, whoever beats me first will get all my 100 points. I’ll wait for you outside!”

After that, he stepped forward and prepared to leave.

The noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at them with burning eyes.

Qiao Sang felt the burning eyes around him, and then he thought of something, stopped and added loudly: “Only those from the Beast Taming Department are allowed.”

After that, he turned and left.

The people from the Beast Taming Department were stunned at first, and then they stood up in unison, and began to squeeze each other and swarm towards the gate.

“Don’t block the way!”

“Who is blocking the way? I’m in front of you!”

“Do you want to fight?”

“If you want to fight, wait until I finish the competition!”

Several teachers in the Beast Taming Department area: “???”
