Qiao Sang turned her head and recognized the person as the manager who had previously let her in through the back door to participate in the match.
“Money?” Qiao Sang asked in confusion.
The woman smiled.
“Yes, money. Every contestant who wins a match gets paid.”
“How much?” Qiao Sang asked casually.
Right now, she was at the wealthiest point in her life, so she didn’t care much about money that couldn’t sustain long-term growth.
“500 Alliance Coins per match.” The woman replied with a smile.
“However, including the betting pool dividend, you’ll receive 130,000 Alliance Coins.”Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, suspecting she had misheard.
“How much?”
Winning against just one E-rank Beast master and two mid-tier pet beasts had earned her the equivalent of a Fire Fang Dog’s market price?
And there was still extra?!
“130,000 Alliance Coins.”
The woman understood what the girl in front of her was shocked about and explained, “This was your first match today, so no one knew your strength, and they all bet on Mr. Kash instead. That’s why your share of the winnings is higher this time.”
Got it. That meant that as a newcomer, she could play the underdog and rake in the wins. But after a few matches, the dividends wouldn’t be as high...
Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds before saying, “I think I can go back up and fight a few more rounds...”
The woman apologized, “I’m afraid that won’t be possible today. Each contestant can only fight once per day.”
Qiao Sang looked regretful, as if she could see piles of money slipping away from her.
The woman changed the subject and continued, “If Miss Qiao Sang is interested in the arena battles, you can come back tomorrow.”
I’d love to come, but tomorrow is Monday, I have school, homework, and college entrance exam prep... Qiao Sang looked even more distressed.
The woman noticed the girl was clearly still a student. Since tomorrow was Monday, she probably thought she wouldn’t have time.
After a moment of consideration, the woman said, “If you want to come, I can arrange a private resting room for you. You can do your homework there, and I promise no one will disturb you.”
Qiao Sang was tempted, not just because of the money but also because of the skill points.
She had already figured out Sainan High School’s curriculum, there were barely any practical combat classes. If Yabao and the others stayed in school all semester, they probably wouldn’t earn many skill points...
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang asked, “What time does the arena close at night?”
The woman smiled upon hearing this, she could tell the girl in front of her would most likely return.
She took a business card from her pocket.
“We’re open 24/7. You can contact me directly when you arrive. Here’s my card.”
After handling the paperwork and collecting her winnings, Qiao Sang left.
A staff member approached the woman.
“Sister Feng, do you think she has potential?”
The woman smiled.
“Without using any equipment or spirit engravings, she defeated two mid-tier pet beasts in a row with just a small Steel Falcon. How many people have you seen do that? Plus, she’s a D-rank Beast master, her real ace pet hasn’t even appeared yet. Trust me, she’s a gold mine.”

11th Floor, Resting Area.
Qiao Sang was applying Strengthening Oil to her Gangbao.
Gangbao stayed still, cooperating obediently.
“How does it feel?” Qiao Sang asked as she applied it.
“Gang Gang.”
Gangbao concentrated for a moment before replying. She didn’t feel anything, except that the oil smelled bad.
“Yap!”
Yabao, standing three meters away, nodded fervently in agreement.
It really did smell... But that didn’t make sense. Wasn’t this oil supposed to show obvious effects immediately?
Could it be a scam...?
Qiao Sang wiped her hands with a tissue she had prepared in advance and was about to take out her phone to contact the breeder named Moniel.
At that moment, Gangbao's body suddenly stiffened.
Qiao Sang noticed and paused.
“Are you feeling something now?”
“Gang gang...”
Gangbao looked as if she were trying to endure something and nodded.
“What does it feel like?” Qiao Sang asked again.
“Gang gang...”
Gangbao hesitated before replying, she was a little itchy.
At that moment, Little Treasure suddenly materialized and curiously poured the remaining Strengthening Oil onto himself.
Five seconds later...
“Xun xun!”
“Xun xun!”
Little Treasure rolled wildly on the ground, crying out.
He was unbearably itchy!
Qiao Sang glanced at the empty bottle and realized what had happened.
This curiosity was really something else...
She looked at Little Treasure with a complicated expression.
---
Five minutes later...
“Xun xun...”
Little Treasure wiped his imaginary sweat from his forehead, looking as if he had narrowly escaped death.
“Gang gang.”
Gangbao glanced at him and chirped. I told you it was itchy.
“Xun xun!”
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure instantly became agitated.
That wasn’t just itchy! That was very itchy!
Gangbao: ...
She suddenly realized that Little Treasure was quite different from the powerful image she had imagined...

That afternoon, Qiao Sang visited a jewelry store.
When the staff heard she wanted to custom-make diamond gloves for Little Treasure, their expressions immediately turned as if they had encountered some strange new species of human.
“No custom orders?” Qiao Sang asked when the staff remained silent.
“We do! Of course we do!” The staff quickly composed themselves.
They glanced between Yabao, Little Treasure, and Gangbao, then finally settled their gaze on Yabao.
Then, the staff took out a soft measuring tape, ready to take its measurements.
“Yap?”
Yabao looked bewildered.
“What are you doing?” Qiao Sang took a step back while holding Yabao.
The staff member paused.
“Measuring for Little Treasure's gloves.”
“Xun xun...”
Little Treasure floated up, looking at the staff. He was Little Seeker, not Yabao...
After Qiao Sang explained, the staff member was stunned for a long time.
If they weren’t mistaken, this pet should be a Ghost-type.
So... she wanted to custom-make diamond gloves for a Ghost-type pet?
Qiao Sang was unaware that her request had left the staff confused for half their life.
After confirming that the gloves would be completed within a week, Qiao Sang left the store, leaving her school’s address and contact information.
She then searched for the location of the ore market.
---
At sunset, a taxi pulled up near a crystal-shaped building.
The ore market was here.
Since the location was a bit remote, Qiao Sang didn’t let Yabao navigate. Instead, she simply hailed a cab.
After paying the fare, she got out and walked inside.
“Feel free to pick out any type of ore you like.” She said generously.
“Gang gang.”
Gangbao nodded. She understood.
As Qiao Sang entered, she saw that the first floor mainly had vendor stalls, neatly arranged, while the upper floors looked like proper stores.
There weren’t many shoppers, just a scattered few.
She strolled leisurely.
Suddenly, Gangbao stopped in front of a stall.
“What caught your eye?” Qiao Sang asked with a smile.
“All my diamonds are natural.” The vendor quickly introduced.
“Large grains, few impurities, top quality. Perfect for polishing into stunning diamonds.”
The girl was clearly a Beast master. To ordinary people, diamonds were priceless, but to a Beast master, they might not even be worth as much as a single potion.
“Gang gang.”
Gangbao pointed at the diamonds with her wing.
These seemed nice.
Qiao Sang stared at the dazzling diamonds on display and hesitated.
“I remember you wanted ore to eat?”
“Gang gang.”
Gangbao nodded.
“Every day?” Qiao Sang took a deep breath.
“Gang gang.”
Gangbao nodded again.
Qiao Sang: ...
Eating diamonds? Every day? Who could afford that?!
Gangbao glanced at her expression and quickly pointed ahead, signaling to browse more first.
Qiao Sang hesitated, then asked, “Boss, do you take credit cards?”
The vendor’s eyes lit up.
“Of course!”
Qiao Sang pulled out a black-gold card.
Gangbao blinked, surprised she was actually buying.
For the future, Qiao Sang spoke earnestly.
“Don’t get addicted. You should eat a variety of ores.”
Gangbao secretly smiled and nodded.
