Yu Ke... As Qiao Sang read the message, she immediately recalled who this person was.

How did she find me? Why is she looking for me?

Back at the auction, the only time I stood out was when I bid for the Qingfeng Compass. Could she be after that?

One question after another surfaced in Qiao Sang’s mind.

After thinking for a moment, she put the letter into her pocket.

She decided to contact the sender after her training. After all, she was quite curious about why this person was looking for her and how she managed to find her.

Yulai Bay.

A high-end villa district in the prime northern area of the Imperial Capital.

The gray-black pet beast that had delivered the letter floated into a towering three-story villa.

Yu Ke, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up eagerly when she saw the floating pet beast.

"Did you deliver the letter?"

"Li li."

The gray-black pet beast nodded.

Yu Ke’s eyes lit up. She picked up her phone and checked it, but her expression quickly dimmed with disappointment.

"Then why hasn’t she contacted me yet?"

At that moment, a girl sitting on the sofa, who looked around sixteen, with delicate features, spoke up.

"Sis, are you sure you didn’t mistake her for someone else?"

Although she was talking, her eyes remained fixed on a virtual screen in front of her, where a replay of today’s National Campus Beast Mastering League was being broadcast.

"How could I be wrong? She was the only one wearing a school uniform at the time." Yu Ke said.

"I remember her face very clearly. She’s definitely Qiao Sang, the one trending on the hot

[I know you come from an extraordinary background, but you’re from Yuhua. Some resources and information are only available in Zhongkong. For example, the Qingfeng Compass you won at the auction while it’s undeniably valuable, its worth is more in collection than in practical use.]

[It’s true that the Qingfeng Compass can help locate Qingqing Ni, but for most people, that just means getting a glimpse of it.]

[Throughout history, only three people have successfully formed a contract with Qingqing Ni using the Qingfeng Compass. Otherwise, do you think everyone would have given up so easily at 900 million?]

[Information like this is hard to come by unless you belong to a family with over a century of history in Zhongkong.]

Extraordinary background? Where did she get that idea?

Qiao Sang instinctively typed a response but quickly deleted it and rewrote: [You don’t seem much older than me. You’re probably still in school. Would you even have time for anything else?]

Yu Ke’s eyes lit up with excitement as she read the message.

She knew that if Qiao Sang was asking this, it meant their relationship was already halfway built.

[Don’t worry! I’m in college, so I have plenty of free time!]

Qiao Sang stared at the chat page, pondering for a couple of seconds before replying:

[Let’s set up a time to talk after my national championship is over.]

At the moment, Qiao Sang wasn’t lacking money or resources but only for the next year.

It had already been over a month since she got the Black Gold Card, leaving her with just a little over ten months.

This past month had given her a very clear understanding of how expensive resources were.

Buying real estate, like she did in her previous life, was unrealistic. Household registration issues prevented her from purchasing property in other provinces, let alone in other regions.

And even if she stockpiled existing properties, she’d have to pay property taxes every year.

While property prices were undeniably high, reselling second-hand homes was difficult. If she couldn’t sell them, she’d end up losing money every year.

The real estate market in the Beast master world wasn’t very liquid, meaning it was hard to turn assets into cash. Unlike the previous world, properties here lacked financial value.

At the end of the day, the most lucrative and expensive industry was still pet beasts.

Right now, her mother had opened a pet breeding store specializing in Fire Fang Dogs and was making a bit of money.

But her ultimate goal was to compete in the Star Cup.

A single pet breeding store could never provide enough resources for that.

After this conversation, Qiao Sang suddenly realized: She needed to start preparing for the days when she no longer had the Black Gold Card.

Yu Ke was based in Zhongkong, had connections, a background, and was still young, not one of those old, cunning capitalists.

She would indeed make a good business partner.

[Alright! Good luck with your competition! I’ll be waiting for you!]

Qiao Sang read Yu Ke’s message, then exited the chat page.
