Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1059: Pet? Trainer? (Two in one)

“How audacious! It dared to climb into Lubao’s water tank!” Qiao Sang’s expression changed slightly, and she exclaimed, “Don’t…”

She sprinted forward, about to pick up Xiaoting Dragon.

However, Xiaoting Dragon was first controlled by an invisible force and lifted out of the water tank.

“Ice Emperor…” Lubao breathed a sigh of relief.

“Ting Ting?”

Xiaoting Dragon turned its head to look at Yabao, whose eyes were glowing blue.

“Yaya.”

Yabao placed Xiaoting Dragon on the ground, its eyes returning to their original color, and shook its head at it.

“Ting Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon stared at Yabao for a couple of seconds, then, catching it off guard, turned and quickly crawled towards the water tank again.

However, it had barely crawled two steps when it was picked up.

“Lubao doesn’t like others entering its water tank,” Qiao Sang said, holding Xiaoting Dragon.

“Ting Ting…” Xiaoting Dragon’s tail drooped, and it was unclear if it had understood.

“Lubao, get it a piece of ice,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Lubao.

“Ice Emperor,” Lubao called out, opening its mouth and spewing a blast of extreme cold.

The cold air rapidly condensed, forming a block of ice about fifty centimeters in size.

“Ting Ting!”

Xiaoting Dragon’s eyes lit up, and it jumped down from Qiao Sang, lying on the ice block, which was only slightly larger than itself, and rubbing against it vigorously, unwilling to leave.

“This Xiaoting Dragon is quite easy to understand,” Mi Jiala said with a smile.

Some Pets without a contract are very difficult to understand what they want to express and their thoughts.

“After all, it’s been with me since it hatched,” Qiao Sang said, seeing the crisis resolved, and sat down on the sofa.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Qingbao used Wind Transformation to open the door.

Outside the door stood a Pet about one meter tall, almost entirely light pink, with a small curl on its head, wearing a white identification bracelet and a miniature shrinking bracelet on its paws, and also wearing rimless glasses.

Fu Lu Tiantian, a Normal-type King-level Pet, has a very gentle personality, dislikes battles, and even if bullied, it will basically just cry a lot. It is skilled in healing abilities and is full of love, a Pet that can only evolve through the power of bonds… Qiao Sang’s mind recalled the information about the Pet in front of her.

“Are you Ya Ke Lin’s Fu Lu Tiantian?” Mi Jiala asked.

“Fu Lu.” Fu Lu Tiantian walked in, thoughtfully closed the door, and nodded with a smile.

It exuded an intellectual aura.

I actually saw intellect in a Pet… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

“Where’s Ya Ke Lin?” Mi Jiala asked.

“Fu Lu.” Fu Lu Tiantian pointed to the phone on the table and called out.

Immediately after, the phone vibrated.

It was a new message.

Mi Jiala picked it up, glanced at it, then put it down and said to Qiao Sang:

“Trainer Ya Ke Lin suddenly has something urgent, so she sent Fu Lu Tiantian to help get the Energy Pill formula.”

While on the starship, Fulaoda had already sent over Xiaoting Dragon’s Energy Pill formula.

It seems they’re going to make the Energy Pills directly based on that formula. I almost thought I could have a Trainer check it again once we arrived at Yan Tian Star, especially since Xiaoting Dragon has grown quite a bit over the past month and a half… Qiao Sang felt somewhat disappointed and was about to tell Xiao Xunbao to take the formula out of the ring.

Mi Jiala, however, continued at this moment: “She also said that Fu Lu Tiantian has already obtained a B-grade Breeder certificate and can help check Xiaoting Dragon’s current condition.”

Fu Lu Tiantian, a B-grade Breeder? Qiao Sang was utterly bewildered.

A Pet? Can it also become a Trainer? And a B-grade one?

“Fu Lu.” Fu Lu Tiantian nodded with a smile.

Mi Jiala seemed to know she would be bewildered and said: “On Yan Tian Star, Pets can also obtain certificates related to Trainers and breeders. And since they are Pets themselves, they can communicate better with other Pets, making it easier for them to obtain some certificates than for humans.”

“Yaya…”

Yabao and Steel Treasure were stunned, listening intently.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao floated next to Fu Lu Tiantian, curiously observing it.

Holy cow, so Pets can actually become Trainers! If Xiao Xunbao stays on Yan Tian Star for a long time, why worry about not being able to get a Trainer certificate… Qiao Sang’s heart surged, and she inexplicably thought of Xiao Xunbao’s intelligence.

Steel Treasure was smarter than Xiao Xunbao in some aspects, but unfortunately, it was illiterate, so becoming a Trainer would be a long and arduous journey.

“Steel Chief…”

Steel Treasure sensed the complaint in its mind and silently glanced at its Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang also sensed Steel Treasure’s thoughts, her body stiffening, but she quickly recovered, pretending as if she hadn’t sensed anything, and said to Fu Lu Tiantian:

“Since you’re a B-grade Breeder, of course you can help with the check. I’ll leave Xiaoting Dragon to you.”

“Fu Lu.”

Fu Lu Tiantian nodded, then its gaze fell upon Xiaoting Dragon, who was hugging the ice block, and it walked over.

Xiaoting Dragon, hugging the ice block, looked up at it and didn’t move.

“Fu Lu.”

Fu Lu Tiantian stretched out its paw and stroked Xiaoting Dragon’s head.

An invisible sound wave spread over Xiaoting Dragon with its voice.

“Ting Ting!”

Xiaoting Dragon’s gaze instantly changed from unfamiliar to affectionate.

“Fu Lu.”

Fu Lu Tiantian called out with a smile.

“Ting Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon showed a hesitant expression, but in the end, it still crawled off the ice block.

Fu Lu Tiantian took out its portable inspection equipment and began to inspect.

Goodwill Fluctuation, a Pet that uses this skill can make the target develop a good impression of itself in a short period… Truly worthy of being a B-grade Breeder, it’s indeed very experienced, knowing to use this trick to make Xiaoting Dragon cooperate… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and turned to ask:

“Xiao Xunbao, why don’t you also try to become a Trainer?”

“Xunxun!”

Xiao Xunbao was startled at first, then quickly shook its head.

It didn’t want to be a Trainer; that required studying, and it didn’t want to study.

Xiao Xunbao was filled with rejection.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang said nothing more.

She had only said it casually; becoming a Trainer required a lot of effort, and Xiao Xunbao still had to participate in the Interstellar Cup with her and train regularly, so naturally, it didn’t have that much time to study Trainer knowledge.

Mi Jiala said with a smile:

“Speaking of which, there are quite a few Pet schools on Yan Tian Star. If you occasionally have something to do and no time to train, you can let Night Ring King and the others stay at school.”

“Xunxun!”

As soon as these words were uttered, Xiao Xunbao felt as if the sky had fallen, floating to its Yu Beast Master’s side, tugging at her sleeve, and shaking its head wildly with teary eyes.

It didn’t want to go to school!

Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao with a helpless expression and said:

“Going to school is out of the question. Yabao and the others are quite self-disciplined in their daily training, and with you, Trainer, here, why would we need to go to any school?”

Most importantly, this is Yan Tian Star; she didn’t know how long they would stay or where they would go next. If there were similar Pet schools on Blue Star, she would be quite willing to let Xiao Xunbao occasionally go and learn.

“Xunxun~” Xiao Xunbao didn’t know its Yu Beast Master’s true thoughts, only that it didn’t need to go to school. It stopped crying and happily rubbed against its Yu Beast Master’s arm.

Steel Treasure silently turned its head, somewhat unable to watch.

Mi Jiala felt relieved and changed the subject, saying:

“Now that your Pets have basically reached the King-level, the Yu Beast Center, a place with many people and Pets, is no longer suitable for training. Tomorrow, we’ll look for a house and move to a different place.”

Qiao Sang was stunned: “Buy directly?”

Mi Jiala glanced at her: “Rent.”

That’s true, even if we stay on Yan Tian Star for a few years, renting is more cost-effective than buying… Qiao Sang nodded and said, “Okay.”

During their conversation, Fu Lu Tiantian finished its inspection. It looked over and called out:

“Fu Lu.”

“Xunxun~”

Before Qiao Sang could ask, Xiao Xunbao floated over, took off the ring, pulled out the formula Fulaoda had given them, and handed it over.

“Fu Lu.”

“Fu Lu.”

Fu Lu Tiantian carefully read it once, then looked up and called out.

“Yaya.”

“Yaya.”

Yabao helped translate immediately.

It said the formula was perfect and didn’t need any modifications.

Saying that, Fu Lu Tiantian put away the formula and called out: “Fu Lu.”

It would take the formula back to its Yu Beast Master, and it would be ready in about five days, then delivered.

“Yaya, Yaya.”

Yabao helped translate.

“Then I’ll trouble you,” Qiao Sang said.

“Fu Lu.” Fu Lu Tiantian called out with a smile, preparing to leave.

At this moment, Mi Jiala asked: “What happened to your Yu Beast Master?”

No matter which planet it was, if someone from Di Class needed assistance, people from the Imperial Beast Academy would help immediately, unless it was something particularly important; otherwise, it would be impossible for a Pet to come in their stead.

However, in her priority list, settling the matter of Xiaoting Dragon’s Energy Pill was more important, as Qiao Sang’s attitude suggested a high possibility of contracting Xiaoting Dragon.

“Fu Lu.”

“Fu Lu.”

Fu Lu Tiantian looked at Mi Jiala, showing a hesitant expression, and finally called out twice, revealing the truth.

“Yaya.”

“Yaya.”

Yabao translated in real-time.

This guy said its Yu Beast Master has recently been cornered by a wild Pet that wants her to help make Energy Pills, but that wild Pet can’t offer any corresponding reward, so its Yu Beast Master refused. However, that wild Pet has been constantly bothering her, and she doesn’t want that wild Pet to follow and disturb us, so she sent it over.

Just two short “Fu Lu”s contained so much meaning… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said:

“Since that wild Pet is so annoying, why not just make it Energy Pills or beat it up and drive it away?”

“Fu Lu…”

Fu Lu Tiantian sighed.

Can’t beat it.

“Yaya.”

Yabao translated.

“Then just help it make Energy Pills,” Qiao Sang said.

“It’s not that simple,” Mi Jiala said slowly. “Ya Ke Lin is an A-level Breeder; Pets that actively seek her out won’t be simple. If it could be driven away, it would have been long ago. Helping it make Energy Pills is even less possible. On Yan Tian Star, information channels among wild Pets are well-connected. If she sets this precedent, more wild Pets will come looking for her.”

“There was once a Trainer who, out of kindness, helped a wild Pet make Energy Pills for free, and afterwards, wild Pets came knocking on his door every day, wanting free production, causing him endless disturbance.”

“When I was on Yan Tian Star before, I even heard about a Yu Beast Master who won a certain battle competition, and many Pets wanted to contract with him. He once refused a Poison-type Pet, saying he didn’t consider contracting Poison-type Pets. The news spread among wild Pets, and as a result, whenever he went out later, he was challenged daily by wild Poison-type Pets.”

“Fu Lu.”

Fu Lu Tiantian nodded in deep agreement, indicating it was true.

Even a single sentence spreads so quickly, these wild Pets are quite united… Qiao Sang secretly complained in her heart, then looked at Trainer Mi Jiala, wanting to see how she would handle it.

However, Mi Jiala didn’t speak again.

“Fu Lu.” Fu Lu Tiantian called out, indicating it was leaving.

“Yaya.” Yabao translated.

Mi Jiala nodded slightly.

Fu Lu Tiantian closed the door and left.

“Aren’t you going to help that Trainer?” Qiao Sang asked.

Mi Jiala looked over, a little surprised: “Why should I help her? It’s not a big deal. That’s just a wild Pet. Ya Ke Lin is, after all, a Trainer from our Imperial Beast Academy. She can handle it.”

That’s true, what a pity, I originally wanted to see what kind of wild Pet could make an A-level Breeder unable to leave… Qiao Sang felt a slight regret, and with a glance, she saw Xiaoting Dragon had somehow climbed back onto the ice block.

“You should go to bed early tonight. We’ll look at houses tomorrow,” Mi Jiala said, getting up.

“Understood,” Qiao Sang said.

The next day.

Ten o’clock in the morning.

Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala arrived at a villa according to the navigation.

The area was shrouded in dense fog, with light, veil-like mist slowly drifting around the villa.

“Trainer, is this the place?” Qiao Sang asked.

This morning, Trainer Mi Jiala had found many houses for rent on the platform, and this was the third one.

“That’s right,” Mi Jiala said.

Qiao Sang glanced at the clearly visible building next to them and asked again: “Why is there so much fog only here?”

“A Zheda Monster lives here,” Mi Jiala explained. “This type of Pet likes to live in foggy places year-round. Even if there’s no fog, it will often spray mist to obscure itself and create a mysterious feeling. Even if it appears in front of people, it will keep itself in…”

As she spoke, a figure over a meter tall vaguely appeared in the mist.

Suddenly, a gust of Typhoon rose, and the mist immediately shook and scattered.

The visibility instantly increased, and everything in front of them became clear.

The figure over a meter tall appeared before their eyes.

Its body was mostly blue, with slightly sparse fur, wearing shorts, and it was pulling back its shorts, which were stuck between its buttocks, with its paws.

The Pet in front of them froze in its pulling posture and stared blankly.

“Zheda!”

The Pet wearing shorts seemed to be Stun, suddenly screamed, and turned to run into the villa.

After the gate closed, mist poured out from the crack in the door, once again shrouding the entire villa.

“Qingqing?”

Qingbao appeared, looking puzzled.

Mi Jiala was silent for two seconds, then continued her previous words: “Even if it appears in front of people, it will keep itself in the mist, disliking being seen directly by others.”

Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao.

“Qingqing~” Qingbao looked at its Yu Beast Master, showing an innocent expression.

At this moment, Mi Jiala’s phone vibrated.

She took it out, glanced at it, then put it down and said faintly:

“The Zheda Monster has refused to rent and told us to go back.”

Qiao Sang: “…” (End of chapter)
