Comprehensive Building.
Seventeenth-floor lecture hall.
Qiao Sang finished deducting points and put down her phone.
She had earned 383 points in the morning’s assessment, and combined with the initial 100 points, she had a total of 483 points. Spending 5 points didn’t bother her in the slightest.
Dr. Doralisha glanced over the students in the tiered classroom and said with a friendly smile:
"Now, please place your student ID cards on the desk in front of you."
Most people had already placed their student ID cards on the table, but a few were still digging them out.
Everyone was given a student ID upon registration. Qiao Sang had put hers in her everyday backpack, so finding it wasn’t a hassle.
Although she didn’t understand why they needed them, she obediently took it out.
Once everyone had taken out their student ID cards, Dr. Doralisha looked down and operated the virtual panel on her desk.
The next second, a ten-inch virtual screen with a green background materialized above each student ID card, displaying their respective information.
"Very good," Dr. Doralisha scanned the room before pressing a button on the virtual panel and announcing:
"Let’s begin our class."
As she finished, all the green virtual screens above the student ID cards disappeared.
Is that it? No roll call? Qiao Sang couldn’t contain her curiosity and quietly asked the girl beside her wearing black-rimmed glasses:
"Does the teacher not need to take attendance?"
The girl with black-rimmed glasses had overheard Qiao Sang talking to the two boys in the back and knew she was a freshman. Thus, she wasn’t surprised to be asked such a question.
She patiently explained:
"No need for roll call. For classes like Dr. Doralisha’s, you need points to attend. If the screen on the student ID shows a green background, that means you’ve paid your points. If it’s red, then you’ll be asked to leave."
Good, I’m glad I acted fast and paid the points at the last minute... Qiao Sang felt extremely relieved.
Dr. Doralisha’s voice was gentle:
"I believe everyone understands the importance of Emotional Energy for Pet Beasts."
"We’ve conducted many experiments regarding Emotional Energy and found that once it reaches a certain amount, it can be transformed into a Skill, enhancing attacks, and some Pet Beasts can even evolve through Emotional Energy."
That’s talking about Lubao... Qiao Sang muttered to herself silently.
Dr. Doralisha continued, "Last year, Dr. Larry Fort experimented with extracting happiness energy from the Laughing Camel and found that when its happiness energy weakened, its body also became greatly debilitated, and its strength significantly decreased."
"Pet Beasts like these, with particularly extreme personality traits, rely on Emotional Energy to boost their strength."
At this point, she paused and asked:
"Does anyone here have a Pet Beast with an especially extreme character? You can summon it to come here, and I will demonstrate."
Especially extreme? Qiao Sang thought her own Pet Beasts were fine, considering she saw them through rose-colored glasses.
Even if Lubao seemed a bit aloof, it was actually quite agreeable and believed whatever it was told.
While she was thinking this, the girl with black-rimmed glasses next to her raised her hand and said:
"Me!"
After speaking, she made a Seal Gesture.
The Green Star Array lit up.
A spherical creature with white fur all over its body, a yellow nose, drooping eyebrows, and dark gray hair appeared within the Star Array.
It looked around sharply at the humans watching it, as if to say, "What are you looking at? Want to fight?"
The girl wearing black-framed glasses waved her hand, and the Pet Beast vanished on the spot.
Qiao Sang noticed that Dr. Doralisha didn’t use much professional jargon, she basically exclaimed in more common terms, which even someone like her, who wasn’t the best student, could fully comprehend.
As the class was almost over, Dr. Doralisha looked around and asked,
"Do you have any questions you would like to ask?"
Qiao Sang immediately raised her hand.
Dr. Doralisha had already noticed this girl with the Dragon Country’s face, not because she looked younger than others, but because she did not recognize the red Pet Beast that the girl was holding in her arms at all.
She had once seriously studied and understood almost all Pet Beasts, not just from her own planet, but from other planets as well.
The phenomenon of not recognizing a Pet Beast was something that hadn’t occurred to her in a long time.
"You may speak," Dr. Doralisha gestured with a smile.
Qiao Sang organized her thoughts before asking, "I have a Pet Beast that needs Emotional Energy of despair for its next phase of Evolution. I would like to ask, does a Pet Beast that requires Emotional Energy to evolve have to be fixed on a certain type of Emotional Energy? Can it be replaced with a different Emotional Energy?"
To evolve with Emotional Energy of despair? Images of a few Pet Beasts that needed this type of Emotional Energy to evolve flickered in Dr. Doralisha’s mind, and she replied with an unchanged expression,
"Each type of Emotional Energy actually produces different amounts and effects of energy, it’s just collectively called Emotional Energy. If your Pet Beast has been shown through research to rely on the Emotional Energy of despair to evolve, then other types of Emotional Energy will not be able to replace it."
Qiao Sang felt disappointed internally but found it within reason.
After all, if other types of Emotional Energy could replace the Emotional Energy of despair, then the species Shuilu Yana wouldn’t be so difficult to evolve.
Seeing that the girl with black hair fell silent, Dr. Doralisha glanced at the red Pet Beast that she still could not recognize and asked with a smile,
"What is the name of the Pet Beast that needs the Emotional Energy of despair to evolve?"
"Bingke Xilu," Qiao Sang said.
Bingke Xilu? Dr. Doralisha pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something and her eyes widened.
Bingke Xilu?! The very same Bingke Xilu that requires Emotional Energy throughout its entire Evolution Chain and is on the brink of extinction on Blue Star?!
