Chapter 495: Chapter 459 I Want to Invest in You!_2 If I could forge a relationship with such a promising figure, would my family still arrange my future so casually once she grows up?

The beautiful life of the future might just depend on clinging to the legs of this future big shot.

Thinking of this, Yu Ke couldn’t contain herself and went looking for Qiao Sang, only to find the other person completely ignored her.

"I had a nice chat with Qiao Sang at the auction. If she isn’t contacting me, it must be because the Dream Beast sent the message to the wrong person," Yu Ke said to maintain her dignity in front of her sister.

Yu Le looked at the Dream Beast, "Is that so?"

"Li Li!"

The Dream Beast immediately became anxious; it hadn’t sent the message to the wrong person!

Yu Le asked, "What is it saying?"

"It says it made a mistake," Yu Ke translated.

"Li Li!" The Dream Beast’s eyes spat fire.

The translation was wrong, it hadn’t sent the message to the wrong person!

Yu Ke, seeing the Dream Beast’s expression was off, quickly changed the subject, "Are you hungry? Want some Energy Pills?"

"Li Li!" The Dream Beast instantly forgot its anger and nodded with curved eyes.

Suddenly, the phone screen lit up.

Yu Ke had sharp eyes and immediately saw that it was a friend request.

At that moment, Yu Ke felt like she could hear her own pounding heartbeat.

She clumsily picked up her phone, opened the messenger app and clicked accept.

Before she could type, a message had already arrived:

[Hello, I received your letter. I was wondering how you found me?]

It was really her! Yu Ke jumped up from the couch, her face flushed with excitement, "She contacted me!"

Yu Le glanced at her skeptically, "Didn’t you just say the Dream Beast sent the message to the wrong person?"

Yu Ke couldn’t care less about her sister then, wholly absorbed in typing her response.

"Li Li..."

The Dream Beast had a look of exasperation.

What about the Energy Pills...

...

[You’re trending now, so you’re somewhat of a celebrity. High school students all know you, and my sister happens to be in high school, so it was easy to find out where you live after asking around a bit.]

Qiao Sang, having finished her training, was now half reclining on her bed, looking at the message on her phone.

So she found out by asking around. Qiao Sang had thought it was due to some Pet Beast Skill or trait. And speaking of which, how could she be trending again... As she mulled over these things, Qiao Sang began to type:

[What do you need from me?]

Yu Ke replied immediately:

[I want to invest in you!]

Invest in me... Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment.

Before she could reply, another message came through:

[Investing means that anything you want to do, you can leave it to me. Of course, I understand given your family circumstances, you probably don’t need to worry about most things. But you’re still young, and there might be things you want to do that your family doesn’t allow. In those cases, you can come to me.]

Yu Ke got straight to the point.

She knew Qiao Sang was from the Yuhua Region and had only come here to participate in the National Inter-Scholastic Beast Taming Competition. If she didn’t establish a close relationship quickly, once the other person returned to the Yuhua Region, it wouldn’t be long before she’d be forgotten.

Qiao Sang’s gaze flickered, and she typed back:

[Why do you want to invest in me?]

Yu Ke sent over three question marks, indicating confusion.

[With your talent, do I even need to ask? There must be many who’d want to invest in you, but while others may wait until you finish the national contest or graduate high school, I have taken the first step before everyone else.]

Yu Ke continued:

[I know you come from an extraordinary family, but you’re from the Yuhua Region. There are some resources and information that only the Zhongkong Region has. Like the Qingfeng Compass you won at the auction—despite its exceptional value, its practical worth is mostly for collecting.]

[The Qingfeng Compass has been passed down to the present, and it’s true that it can be used to locate Qing Qingni, but most people can only catch a glimpse of her.]

[There are only three individuals who have seen Qing Qingni through the Qingfeng Compass and successfully contracted with her, or else do you think 9 billion would have deterred everyone?]

[This kind of information is hard to know without being from a family in Zhongkong Region that’s over a hundred years old.]

Extraordinary family? Where did you see that? Qiao Sang reflexively typed, but immediately deleted it and typed anew:

[You don’t seem much older than me. Shouldn’t you still be in school? Do you have time to do other things?]

Yu Ke’s eyes brightened at this message, filled with excitement. She knew that when Qiao Sang asked this, establishing a relationship was already halfway there.

[Don’t worry! I’m in university, so I have a lot of spare time!]

Qiao Sang stared at the chat screen for two seconds, pondering, before sending a reply:

[Let’s arrange a time to talk after I finish the national competition.]

Beast taming, starting from zero point Chapter 494 - 459 I Want to Invest in You!

Qiao Sang currently lacked neither money nor resources, but only for a year’s duration. With more than a month already gone, she had just over ten months left.

During this time, she had come to clearly understand that resources cost money.

It wasn’t realistic to buy houses and land like in her previous life; the issue of household registration limited purchasing property in other provinces, let alone in other regions.

Acquiring a large number of existing houses also meant paying annual property taxes.

Real estate was expensive indeed, yet resale of second-hand homes wasn’t easy. If she couldn’t unload them, she’d have to keep putting money into them each year.

The liquidity of Beast Taming World real estate was not particularly good, which meant it was difficult to liquidate and lacked financial attributes.

At the end of the day, in this world, what’s expensive and easy to earn money from is still related to Pet Beasts.

Though her mother had opened a Pet Beast Breeding Shop related to the Fire-Toothed Dog and made some money, her ultimate goal was to participate in the Interstellar Cup, and the subsequent resources couldn’t possibly be afforded by a single Pet Beast Breeding Shop.

After this exchange, Qiao Sang suddenly realized that she should start planning for the days after her Black Gold Card expired.

Yu Ke, being in the Zhongkong Region, had connections and background, was young, and not yet as cunning as those capitalist veterans, indeed making her an excellent partner.

[Great! Good luck in the contest! I’ll be waiting for you!]

Qiao Sang looked at the message from the other party and closed the chat screen.

ps: Cough cough, first posting 1.5 Chapters, will post another 1.5 Chapters in the evening, making up three Chapters worth of words, feels like a more appropriate place to pause, otherwise cutting off at the length of a single Chapter always seems to lack content.
