Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 105: It seems successful

Chapter 105: It Seems to Have Succeeded…

It is crucial for Pets to learn skills, as they play an absolute role in both competitions and daily life.

If a Pet learns one more skill, its future options will greatly increase.

For example, if a Water-type Pet learns Air Bubble, it can completely encase a person in a bubble and dive underwater, allowing them to fully experience the underwater scenery up close without any special equipment.

Its Yu Beast Master would then have the opportunity to work as an underwater photographer, underwater safety officer, or underwater archaeologist, among other professions.

The Ancient Mist region, for instance, is known as the “Water World,” and its provincial capital, You City, is crisscrossed with waterways, where boats are virtually the only mode of transportation on the roads.

The main reason the Ancient Mist region is called the Water World is that the waterways beneath the 9 prefecture-level cities throughout the region are interconnected.

Beneath these interconnected waterways lies a world-famous underwater city, rich in ancient ruins. After long-term construction, buildings now cover the entire water area, making it a must-visit destination for travel bloggers from various countries.

There, a Water-type Pet knowing Air Bubble is a prerequisite for recruitment by the local Underwater Management Bureau.

Besides Air Bubble, a Water-type Pet knowing Rain Dance is a prerequisite for recruitment by the Meteorological Bureau.

And Water Gun is a requirement for firefighters.

A Yu Beast Master with mediocre aptitude might find their life of comfort secured for the rest of their days simply because their Pet learned a rare skill.

While everyone else was trying every possible method to teach their Pets skills, Qiao Sang’s Pets inexplicably learned new ones.

First, it was the Fire Fang Dog, and now it’s the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

Qiao Sang looked dazed, and a question suddenly flashed through her mind.

Where did the notion that skills are difficult to learn come from?

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, holding back a surge of energy, teleported while clenching its fists. However, after 6 teleports, it was still on the same street.

“Xun~”

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost turned its head to look behind it, feeling that its speed wasn’t as fast as it should be because the gas hadn’t been released.

It straightened its head, clenched its fists, and exerted itself, its face turning even redder.

“A Sang, this is Teleportation, right?” A voice, a little breathless, sounded from beside her.

Qiao Sang turned to see Ye Ranran standing there stiffly like a half-buried log, her eyes wide with shock as she stared in the direction of the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

She looks so silly…

Qiao Sang came back to her senses, completely forgetting that she had looked the same just moments before.

“It should be,” Qiao Sang replied.

“If I remember correctly, the Treasure Hunting Ghost should be a Ghost-type Pet, right?” Ye Ranran’s voice trembled slightly.

“You’re not mistaken,” Qiao Sang nodded.

“Then…” Ye Ranran murmured.

Before she could finish, Qiao Sang interjected, “It’s exactly as you’re thinking.”

Ye Ranran was stunned.

It took her a long time to find her voice: “How much did you spend?”

“I didn’t spend any money. I exchanged it with the Pet redemption voucher from the Bai Xin Competition,” Qiao Sang said.

Ye Ranran: “!!!”

This statement shocked Ye Ranran even more than when she first learned about Qiao Sang’s 5 million prize money.

“Where are Third Uncle and the others?” Qiao Sang asked.

Ye Ranran didn’t answer immediately. She looked at Qiao Sang resentfully and said, “I’m going to self-isolate.”

Qiao Sang sighed, “Look, for someone as low-key as me, I never intended to talk about this, but I didn’t expect the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost to suddenly learn Teleportation.”

There’s no need to hide a Pet’s good aptitude. With the existence of the yu beast codex, there’s no need to worry about others snatching away already contracted Pets.

Ye Ranran: “…!”

This must be intentional, right? This is definitely intentional!

Although the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost learned Teleportation, it was still young, and its internal energy was insufficient to support many movements. Its stamina was also far from meeting the standard, so it didn’t reach the finish line within the final time limit.

However, there were 23 other competing Pets in its fourth tier that also didn’t make it, so it wasn’t too embarrassing.

On the way back, Qiao Sang was in a good mood, holding the Fire Fang Dog and humming a few tunes from time to time.

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost wasn’t sad about losing. It lay on Qiao Sang’s head, leisurely drinking milk, showing that it didn’t have as strong a desire to win or lose as the Fire Fang Dog.

The family chatted and laughed on the way back, while only Third Uncle reverted to his usual taciturn self.

There was no particular reason, it was just that the Roar Swamp Crocodile, on which he had placed his hopes, lost to a Lightning Otter by 9 seconds, finishing second.

“Dad, second place is also pretty good. It covers half a year’s expenses at the Qi Tang Yu Beast Center. You can take the Roar Swamp Crocodile and the Inkfish for a check-up,” Ye Jingwen comforted.

“That’s right, Third Uncle. I actually think the second-place prize is much more practical than the first-place prize,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

Third Uncle forced a smile: “I’m fine. Second place isn’t bad either. You and Ranran worked hard this time.”

“Not at all, not at all,” Qiao Sang beamed.

She had originally thought she was just going along for the ride, but she never expected the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost to learn a new skill. This trip was well worth it!

Qiao Sang was in a great mood all the way home, but as soon as she arrived, her smile vanished.

“Oh, where’s the bicycle I rode out this morning?” Third Aunt suddenly asked, looking at the usual parking spot for the bicycle.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Night.

7:28 PM.

Liu Gan Stream.

Qiao Sang helplessly watched the Fire Fang Dog, which was already sensing its internal energy.

It should have been resting, having just gone through a marathon today and then cycling a long way back.

But the Fire Fang Dog was too motivated and insisted on coming to practice Energy Ball.

If a Pet wants to train, as a Yu Beast Master, one cannot say discouraging words.

Thus, the scene of them still being at Liu Gan Stream late at night.

Qiao Sang habitually found a spot, sat cross-legged on the ground, and rested her chin in her hand, watching the Fire Fang Dog in front of her, which had already condensed an Energy Ball.

She wondered if it was her imagination, but the Energy Ball seemed to have grown slightly larger.

Qiao Sang thought, looking at the Energy Ball.

I wonder if I can blow up a fish tonight…

The Energy Ball was already rising.

1, 2, 3… 6 meters and it hadn’t stopped yet.

Qiao Sang froze for a moment, unconsciously sitting up straighter. She looked up at the Energy Ball rising higher and higher.

Why hasn’t it lost control yet?

This height… it looks like it has already reached the standard for Mars Rain in the air?

The red Energy Ball continued to rise, stopping only when it reached a height of about 23 meters.

This time, the Energy Ball did not lose control and fall, nor did it explode on its own. Instead, it lingered in the air for 2 seconds before bursting open.

Three red flames fell in the silent night sky, like red meteors descending from the heavens, decorating the darkness.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Crimson sparks fell to the ground, making loud noises one after another.

Dust flew, accompanied by the vibrant crimson flames blooming.

One red flame landed not far in front of Qiao Sang, illuminating her wide-eyed, open-mouthed expression, her jaw nearly dropping.

Qiao Sang felt her brain had already crashed and stopped functioning.

Mars Rain…

It seems to have succeeded…
