Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

Chapter 51 A Fateful Reunion

"You're not from the central domain, so you might not have known about Ziying before."

Tan Xiao paused here: "The purple in Ziying comes from the color of the star array of the school's founders."

Purple, elite—Zi Ying aims to cultivate the top talents of the Dragon Kingdom. Besides their own exceptional talent, Zi Ying's students all come from well-off families, representing the best of the best.

For people like Lin Su whose household registration is not in the central area, the five of them can only recommend one person, and that person can only participate in the assessment.

These kinds of recommendations actually have a bit of a talent investment aspect to them.

But that's the reality of society. There are no hidden geniuses; those who don't actively shine will easily fade into obscurity later on. She didn't think Lin Su would refuse.

Lin Su couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Purple Star Array? SS-level Beast Tamer? A top-tier expert who can be counted on one hand in the entire Interstellar Alliance, someone who can be written into history books?

"But I've already signed the guaranteed admission agreement," Lin Su said with some regret, now regretting signing it so early.

Can this still be recommended?

Tan Xiao stopped talking abruptly.

There's really no way around that. Dragon Country has very strict rules regarding student registration. Unless the school that recommended her for admission withdraws her application, or Lin Su applies for a transfer with a legitimate reason after enrolling for one semester, she can't change high schools.

"Our school also has exchange students; you can apply to any school in China that meets the requirements," Tan Xiao added.

"Except for changing their household registration, exchange students enjoy the same benefits." It's just that the application requirements are a bit strict.

Lin Su nodded, and the two did not continue to discuss this unsolvable problem.

6:27 a.m.

Lin Su finished her two-hour meditation and turned around to see Ruan Xuyang reaching out and poking at the energy barrier blocking his way.

Ahri removed the barrier she had set up upon seeing him, and complained to her beast tamer in a spoiled tone, "Huanhuan."

This guy is so annoying, he comes over every now and then.

"Is something the matter?" Lin Su asked.

With a bright smile, Ruan Xuyang held up his phone and said, "Little sister, can I have your contact information? You can look me up next time you come to the Central Region."

When Tan Xiao returned in the early morning, he said that Lin Su had already been admitted to university without taking the entrance exam, so she didn't need their recommendation quota. He came over and saw Lin Su meditating from afar, so he didn't disturb her.

Lin Su glanced around at the girls who were secretly watching them, and couldn't help but reasonably assume that he had many older sisters—

But being handsome has its advantages.

"Call me by name next time."

After exchanging voice chat numbers, Lin Su put away her phone and got up to walk towards the starting point of the competition, which was also the results announcement area.

Ruan Xuyang, who was standing next to him, put his phone directly on his wrist, and the phone bent and clipped onto his wrist.

Lin Su: "???"

What kind of high-tech stuff is this? It feels so convenient. Is she sure she and these people live in the same time and space, on the same planet?

Ruan Xuyang noticed her glancing at his wrist, his peach blossom eyes slightly upturned, and he said naturally, "Aren't my hands pretty?"

Lin Su shifted her gaze to his hands and praised, "It's quite beautiful."

It takes skill for someone to be so narcissistic and not be disliked, largely thanks to his exceptionally handsome face and the fact that he speaks the truth.

"cough."

Unexpectedly, the girl agreed. Ruan Xuyang cleared his throat and awkwardly put his hands behind his back: "This terminal is a custom-made model. If you want something similar, I can recommend a designer to you."

terminal?

Lin Su paused for a moment: "Not for now."

You can buy a regular device at Xinggang. Each person is limited to one device that can be linked to their household registration. However, it can only be attached to the skin and does not have the natural bending function, similar to a mobile phone.

The main issue is that it's also very expensive, and people who don't need it for interstellar travel don't usually need it.

Despite the advanced technology we have today, people's lives are not actually very technologically advanced; most people still use mobile phones.

She knew about the existence of personal terminals because her family was well-off and her father studied mechanical engineering.

An awards stage had been set up in the open space. A virtual screen next to it displayed the scores of each group that had completed all the checkpoints and participated in the scoring, as well as the top three.

The second place score is 461 points, which is excellent.

The host was already standing on the stage with a microphone, warming up the audience, waiting for the final second of the competition to announce the rankings.

At 6:30 sharp, the score on the screen was frozen.

The host's tone became more enthusiastic: "The winners of this orienteering challenge have been officially announced! The first place winner is ————"

"Is this scoring really correct? How could there be more than 700 points?" The contestant ranked third couldn't help but question.

The people around him comforted him, saying, "Maybe he played four games at the perfect time to grab points."

If you're lucky enough to win a game, you can get 120 points, and then pick up some scoreboards, or like the second-place player, you can get a bunch of classmates to help you.

The two third-place finishers fell silent when they saw the second-place finisher's large group of friends fall silent. They knew they couldn't compete with that group; it must have been about 50 people who came specifically to participate and help them get points.

The awards ceremony lasted 20 minutes.

After the staff registered the delivery addresses of the two people, Tan Xiao confirmed that the task was completed and said goodbye to Lin Su.

"We'll be heading back to the central region soon. Would you like Daji to give you a ride?"

"No."

Lin Su shook her head and said, glancing at the Arctic bird grooming itself behind her. "Good luck, Tan Xiao knows how to name things."

"Well—see you again sometime."

"it is good."

Seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak, Lin Su gave the pretty older sister another sweet and obedient smile.

She can be quite patient when she's in a good mood, especially with good-looking people.

Tan Xiao paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile before turning around and striding back.

She thought—

Ruan Xuyang waved to Lin Su, and the group flew away on two bird pets amidst the onlookers, leaving behind a murmur of discussion.

"Is that an ice bird? I didn't recognize the other one either. Did you scan it?"

"Isn't the focus on their age and the color of their constellations?"

"I think it's about looks."

"Do you recognize the pet of the youngest girl who's still around?"

"Let me see—wait, where is everyone?"

Lin Su was naturally carried away by Ah Li via teleportation. She had already collected all the competition rewards, so why would she stay there?

At the entrance of the forest park.

"Huanhuan?"

Ahri nestled in her beast tamer's arms and turned her head to meow.

"Let's go home," Lin Su replied.

Having just received 324 million Alliance Coins, she splurged on a Didi Flying Bird ride, and the order confirmation showed it was almost there.

If it weren't so early, she would have liked to go to Sheng Yu Private Club first to see what physical training options and specific tutorials were available.

But it's fine to go later.

A young man landed in front of Lin Su in a Buli Flying Owl: "License plate ending in 9071?"

"right."

After Lin Su held Ah Li firmly, Buli Flying Owl quickly spread its wings and flew towards An Yun Road.
