Chapter 1061: Little Thunder Dragon’s Sense of Crisis (Two in One)

The next day, early morning.

Yu Beast Center, first floor lobby.

Qiao Sang completed the identity bracelets for her Pets and put them on one by one.

Her Pets were all wearing white identity bracelets, only Xiaoting Dragon’s was black.

Mi Jiala glanced at Xiaoting Dragon, who was hugging an ice cube with its back to Qiao Sang, and asked:

“What’s wrong with it?”

“I’m not sure,” Qiao Sang whispered, “Its mood has been bad since last night.”

To be precise, it was when lightning inexplicably emanated from its body at the outdoor training ground last night. She didn’t know what happened before that.

Qiao Sang collected her thoughts and asked:

“Where are we going today?”

Mi Jiala smiled slightly: “The Contract Viewing Fair.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “The Contract Viewing Fair?”

“That’s right,” Mi Jiala nodded, “On Yan Tian Star, contracts are a big deal for both Yu Beast Masters and Pets. There’s almost always a Contract Viewing Fair held every so often, the purpose of which is for Yu Beast Masters and Pets who want to form a contract to find their desired partner.”

Xiaoting Dragon’s ears twitched.

Qiao Sang immediately became interested: “Can people like us, who don’t have blank contract pages, go?”

“Yes,” Mi Jiala smiled, “Some Yu Beast Masters and Pets who hit it off will exchange contact information, and then contract later when the Yu Beast Master breaks through their brain region and gains a blank contract page.”

Qiao Sang wasn’t someone who particularly enjoyed watching excitement, but she was genuinely interested in some types of excitement she hadn’t experienced before.

Mi Jiala glanced in Xiaoting Dragon’s direction and continued:

“You can go and see if there are any Pets you’d like to contract.”

Xiaoting Dragon hugged the ice cube, and yellow electric arcs appeared on its body.

“Teacher, what are you saying?” Qiao Sang quickly said, “I already have Xiaoting Dragon. I’m just going to see it.”

“Xiaoting…”

The electric arcs on Xiaoting Dragon’s body disappeared, and it slowly moved closer to Qiao Sang, hugging the ice cube.

Mi Jiala noticed Xiaoting Dragon’s actions, her eyes full of amusement, and said:

“Don’t speak too soon. Yan Tian Star has many talented Pets, and most of them have the right to choose independently. Even at an ordinary Contract Viewing Fair, you might encounter a wild Pet with excellent talent that might not be worse than Xiaoting Dragon.”

Qiao Sang was unimpressed.

Xiaoting Dragon is a super strong dual-system Pet of Dragon-type and Electric-type, with a racial limit up to Emperor-level. How could it be so easy to find a Pet similar to it?

Even if there were, it wouldn’t casually agree to contract with someone.

“Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon finally turned its head and glared at Mi Jiala.

It really didn’t like this human…

…

Bawajing Avenue, No. 101.

Inside the museum-like building, many people and Pets wearing black identity bracelets were coming and going.

The original items in the building had been cleared out, and brown long tables replaced the original furniture.

Pets wearing black identity bracelets sat at the tables, organizing their materials.

From time to time, people would sit opposite the Pets and communicate with them.

Qiao Sang, holding Xiaoting Dragon, who had suddenly become willing to interact with her again, observed her surroundings and complained, “Why does it feel so much like an interview?”

“It is an interview,” Mi Jiala said, “It looks like this event is primarily for wild Pets, likely organized by a wild Pet organization.”

Saying that, she looked at Qiao Sang and asked, “Want to experience it?”

Qiao Sang became interested: “How do I experience it?”

No sooner had she spoken than Mi Jiala pushed her down into an empty seat nearby.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Dudu.”

“Dudu.”

A round bird-type Pet, with a white face and mostly blue body, chirped twice from the opposite side.

Then, it pushed a document over with its wing.

Qiao Sang lowered her head and quickly scanned it.

[Species: Duli Owl]

[Attribute: Flying]

[Level: Beginner]

[Age: 1 year, 6 months, 23 days]

[Trait: Vitality]

[Skills: Chirp, Peck, Aerial Ace]

The age was actually precise to the day… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

No wonder other seats were crowded with people, while this table had almost no one coming over. It was already one and a half years old and only knew three skills. Its talent wasn’t good…

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao appeared and leaned in to look at the document.

“Dudu?”

Duli Owl chirped twice with a smile.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao helped translate.

It wants your information.

If there wasn’t a contracted Pet nearby, she wouldn’t even be able to communicate… Qiao Sang complained inwardly, then cleared her throat and said:

“My name is Qiao Sang, 17 years old, B-level Beast Tamer.”

“Dudu!”

Duli Owl processed the information, and its eyes suddenly lit up.

At this moment, a noticeably larger Duli Owl walked up from behind and, with an “unworthy” expression, patted the sitting Duli Owl’s head and chirped.

“Dudu…”

The sitting Duli Owl showed a wronged expression.

“Dudu!”

The larger Duli Owl looked at Qiao Sang with a disdainful expression, flapped its wings, and motioned for her to leave quickly.

Is it trying to drive me away? Qiao Sang was a little unsure.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure’s voice echoed in her mind.

It is indeed driving you away.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then got up and left.

Mi Jiala walked to her side and asked with a smile:

“How does it feel?”

Qiao Sang didn’t answer but instead asked: “Did that Duli Owl look at my Pets and realize I don’t have a contract slot right now?”

“Duli Owls generally have average intelligence,” Mi Jiala said, “It doesn’t believe that you became a B-level Beast Tamer at your age and thought you were a liar.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

So that’s how it was… Qiao Sang instantly felt much better and answered the previous question:

“It doesn’t feel very good, a bit like a transaction.”

“Most contract models on Yan Tian Star are like this,” Mi Jiala said slowly, “You’re just not used to it. There are many benefits to contracting this way. On Blue Star, Yu Beast Masters mostly choose the Pets they want to contract, but giving Pets the right to choose also increases competition among Pets. They can also contract with like-minded Yu Beast Masters. After that, even if the Yu Beast Master doesn’t urge them, the Pets will actively train, wanting to become stronger.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Is it difficult to make Pets train actively?”

Except for Xiao Xunbao, her Pets all trained actively. Now that Xiao Xunbao had evolved into Night Ring King, its initiative had also greatly increased, and she didn’t need to worry about it at all.

Mi Jiala was silent for a while, then took a deep breath, composed herself, and said:

“For most Pets, it’s difficult. And Pets contracted under this model are very good at taking care of themselves; Yu Beast Masters basically don’t have to worry much.”

That’s true. Wild Pets on Yan Tian Star find Yu Beast Masters for themselves and even take out loans to buy houses. They clearly understand life much better than Pets on Blue Star… Qiao Sang agreed inwardly.

“Zhaozhao!”

Suddenly, a mostly black, square-shaped Pet on a nearby table chirped.

Qiao Sang collected her thoughts, turned to look, and saw a person sitting opposite this Pet.

Not only that, but there was also a long queue behind that person.

“Are you calling me?” Qiao Sang pointed to herself uncertainly.

“Zhaozhao.”

The square-shaped Pet nodded.

The man sitting opposite the Pet scrutinized Qiao Sang, then his gaze fell on Xiaoting Dragon.

Although he didn’t recognize what kind of Pet it was, he knew it was a Dragon-type Pet.

Can’t compare… The man sighed and got up to give up his seat.

The people in the queue looked at Xiaoting Dragon, and not one of them sat in the empty seat in front.

“It’s calling you,” Mi Jiala gestured with her eyes towards the vacant seat.

Qiao Sang bit the bullet, picked up Xiaoting Dragon, and went to sit down.

“Zhaozhao.”

The square-shaped Pet pushed a document over.

Qiao Sang looked down:

[Species: Zhaozhaodu]

[Attributes: Superpower System, Evil-type]

[Level: Beginner]

[Age: 9 months]

[Traits: Sleepless (Because it has a constitution that doesn’t sleep, it won’t enter a sleep state), Copy (During battle, it can copy the opponent’s trait by taking a photo, becoming the same trait)]

[Skills: Psychic, Double Team, Nasty Plot]

It’s actually a dual-attribute Pet of Superpower System and Evil-type, and it even has the Copy trait… Qiao Sang suddenly looked up, her face showing surprise.

Pets with such attribute combinations are not common; they can be considered rare. Such a Pet actually appeared at such an ordinary event…

“Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon seemed to realize something, and its body involuntarily began to tense up.

“Zhaozhao?”

Zhaozhaodu chirped politely.

This time, without needing a translation, Qiao Sang understood what it was saying and instinctively began to introduce herself:

“Qiao Sang, 17 years old, B-level Beast Tamer.”

Before Zhaozhaodu could speak, the people in the queue behind started to clamor:

“If you’re going to trick a Pet, at least trick a dumb one. How dare you try to trick Zhaozhaodu? Don’t you know it’s highly intelligent and also Evil-type?”

“I’m dying of laughter. If you’re a B-level Beast Tamer, then I’m an A-grade Beastmaster.”

“Zhaozhaodu, you’re not going to believe her nonsense, are you?”

“If you’re a B-level Beast Tamer, then show us your pet tamer badge!”

Qiao Sang took out her pet tamer badge and placed it on the table.

The people in the queue instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked at the red badge on the table, their faces filled with shock and astonishment.

In this day and age, no one would dare to openly commit fraud with a fake pet tamer badge. A 17-year-old B-level Beast Tamer was impossible, but this girl’s family might actually have a parent who is a B-level Beast Tamer… Everyone felt they had grasped the truth, but for a moment, they didn’t dare to say anything more.

A family with a B-level Beast Tamer, they couldn’t afford to provoke…

“Zhaozhao~”

Zhaozhaodu looked at the red pet tamer badge, then at Xiaoting Dragon and the Pets beside her, revealing a big smile, and chirped.

“Xiaoting…”

As soon as it spoke, Xiaoting Dragon immediately looked at Zhaozhaodu with an unfriendly expression, and yellow electric arcs appeared on its body.

“Steel Chief.”

At the same time, Steel Treasure chirped in her mind, indicating that this little guy said it was willing to contract with her.

Qiao Sang politely refused:

“Sorry, I don’t have any available contract slots right now.”

“Zhaozhao.”

Zhaozhaodu wasn’t disappointed, but instead pushed a business card over and chirped.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure helped translate in her mind.

It says you can contact it when you have a contract slot.

This Zhaozhaodu actually has a business card… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then took the business card.

“Xiaoting!”

Xiaoting Dragon’s face fell, and it twisted its body, struggling to jump out of her arms and crawl outwards.

“Xiaoting, wait for me!” Qiao Sang quickly got up and chased after it.

“Zhaozhao.”

Zhaozhaodu’s gaze fell on Xiaoting Dragon’s black bracelet, then it chirped with a smile at the people in the queue.

The Pet next to the first man in line chirped, helping to translate.

The man’s face immediately lit up, and he stepped forward and sat down.

Qiao Sang caught up to Xiaoting Dragon, picked it up, and asked:

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Xiaoting!”

Xiaoting Dragon didn’t answer, only twisted its body, wanting to get down.

It’s so angry, yet it’s reluctant to release lightning… Mi Jiala saw this scene and felt the preferential treatment.

Qiao Sang recalled the time when Xiaoting Dragon got angry, seemed to understand something, and tentatively asked:

“Are you angry that I took Zhaozhaodu’s business card?”

Xiaoting Dragon’s body stiffened.

So it really was like this… Qiao Sang found it both amusing and touching, and explained:

“I just politely accepted it. I came to this Contract Viewing Fair simply because I’ve never seen one before and wanted to experience it. I never thought about finding another Pet to contract. You know, you’re the one I want to contract.”

“Xiaoting?”

Xiaoting Dragon stopped struggling, looked up, and showed a “really?” expression.

Qiao Sang inexplicably understood what it was expressing and said seriously:

“Of course it’s real.”

Xiaoting Dragon no longer twisted and quietly stayed in Qiao Sang’s arms.

Mi Jiala walked closer, glanced at Xiaoting Dragon, and asked:

“Do you want to look around more?”

“Of course,” Qiao Sang said, “Since we’re already here.”

For the rest of the time, Qiao Sang explored almost the entire venue.

She found that if a Pet and Yu Beast Master hit it off on the spot and had an intention to contract, they would go to a designated area with notaries. The Pet would demonstrate its skills and activate its traits, while the person would present their relevant pet tamer badge and documents. If all the information matched and there was no deception, they would contract on the spot under witness.

This is quite good, it prevents falsification of information… Qiao Sang sighed with emotion while continuing to stroll around.

During this time, many wild Pets’ gazes fell on Qiao Sang.

Although they didn’t know the human’s specific details, seeing the few unfamiliar species around her and the Dragon-type Pet in her arms, they knew her family must be well-off.

The wild Pets stirred restlessly.

“Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon felt the surrounding gazes and, for the first time since its birth, felt a sense of crisis.

…

Evening, seven o’clock.

After dinner, her Pets successively headed to the outdoor training ground.

Xiaoting Dragon followed behind Luba.

“Ice Emperor.”

Luba turned and stopped, exhaling cold air, which quickly condensed into an ice cube, and chirped.

“Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon looked down at the ice cube, then moved its body, walked around the ice cube and Luba, and continued forward.

Luba: “???”

“Xiaoting!”

Xiaoting Dragon arrived at the open space, circulated energy, and yellow electric arcs appeared on its body, striking outwards.

Qiao Sang looked through the French window at this scene and hesitated, saying:

“Is Xiaoting training?”

Mi Jiala also looked over and smiled:

“Xiaoting Dragon is indeed at a point where it can train.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

A gentle breeze drifted by.

Qingbao appeared at the door and opened it.

“Meimei.”

Meimei stood outside the door, holding a bouquet of flowers, and chirped with a smile.
