Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1068: Hate Transfer (2 in 1)
However, Xiaoting Dragon was too small, and the wild Pets were all surrounding Qiao Sang, so they didn’t notice it at all.
“Ting Ting!”
Xiaoting Dragon’s face completely fell, and yellow electric arcs crackled outwards.
Only then did the wild Pets notice.
Some wild Pets, seeing that it was a Dragon-type, couldn’t help but show wary expressions and retreated a little.
Even though Xiaoting Dragon was just a Beginner Pet with no oppressive aura, the prestige of Dragon-type Pets among wild Pets was still very high, especially in the eyes of wild Pets like those on Yan Tian Star who lived with humans; they deeply understood how terrifying the Dragon-type Pet Beast race was.
There were also some higher-level wild Pets, all wearing miniature shrinking bracelets, who were very displeased with Xiaoting Dragon’s actions and looked over with unkind expressions.
They knew that Electric-type Pets releasing lightning externally was a form of Taunt and display of power.
“Ting Ting!”
Seeing that the wild Pets’ gazes were on it, Xiaoting Dragon continued to release yellow electric arcs, looking ready to attack at any moment.
At this moment, Qiao Sang walked through the wild Pets, picked it up, and asked:
“Did you just wake up?”
“Ting Ting!”
Xiaoting Dragon was first startled, then the electric arcs on its body disappeared, and it provocatively barked at the surrounding wild Pets.
Did you see? She’s mine!
The wild Pets, seeing the black identity bracelet worn by Xiaoting Dragon and then the young girl holding it, finally understood, and one after another, they showed expressions of “Tch, boring,” “Should have said so earlier,” and “What a pity,” then turned and left.
The onlookers, seeing that there was no more excitement, also left the venue one by one and returned to their training battles.
“Ting Ting.”
Seeing this, Xiaoting Dragon was satisfied, but it didn’t leave; instead, it stayed in Qiao Sang’s arms, declaring her to be its Yu Beast Master.
Mi Jiala watched this scene from the side, recalling the scene of her own initial contract with a Dragon-type Pet, and felt a sudden pang of sadness.
I didn’t expect Xiaoting Dragon to have such a sense of crisis… Qiao Sang held Xiaoting Dragon, looking at the departing wild Pets, feeling both relieved and amused.
“Rock Sharp.”
Rock Sharp Golem walked over and called out.
“Steel Chief.”
Steel Treasure called out in its mind, helping to translate, indicating that it wanted the money for witnessing.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang quickly pulled out one hundred alliance coins from her pocket and handed them over.
There were many wild Pets on Yan Tian Star, and many of them had opened their own shops and businesses, but not every wild Pet supported mobile phone and credit card payments, so she had withdrawn a lot of cash to carry with her.
“Rock Sharp.”
Rock Sharp Golem took the one hundred alliance coins, wanting to speak but hesitating. Its gaze fell on Xiao Xunbao, who was pulling out a golden yellow helmet from a ring and putting it on, and remembering the battle just now, it ultimately said nothing.
Qiao Sang came to the unconscious Curse of Calamity Envoy and turned her head to call out:
“Lu Bao.”
Lu Bao jumped out of the backpack and came to her Yu Beast Master’s side. Without a word, the gem on its forehead glowed with a faint blue light, shining on the Curse of Calamity Envoy.
Once the faint blue light disappeared, all of the Curse of Calamity Envoy’s injuries were gone, and it slowly opened its eyes.
Ya Ke Lin’s face was filled with shock when she saw this scene:
“This is Dragon Kingdom’s endangered Pet, Ice Emperor Ram. Did it just use Healing Light?”
One must know that even among the instructors of the Imperial Beast Academy, the number of Pets capable of Healing Light could be counted on one hand!
“That’s right.” Mi Jiala nodded calmly, as if what was cast was not the Ultra-level skill Healing Light, but a Beginner-level skill Healing spell.
The students of Di Class are indeed not simple… Ya Ke Lin took a moment to process and calm herself, her gaze involuntarily falling on the black-haired girl not far away.
Then she saw the Curse of Calamity Envoy open its eyes, and only then did she remember something, quickly running over.
The Curse of Calamity Envoy floated up.
“You lost,” Qiao Sang said.
“Rock Sharp.”
Rock Sharp Golem nodded.
“Xiao Xunbao ~”
Xiao Xunbao re-equipped its armor and accessories, showing a disdainful expression from the side, as if to say, “Being big isn’t so great.”
“Curse of Calamity…” The Curse of Calamity Envoy hung its head.
“Since you lost, then don’t bother me again in the future,” Ya Ke Lin said bluntly.
“Curse of Calamity.”
The Curse of Calamity Envoy nodded listlessly.
“However, if you bring enough money to pay for Energy Pills in the future, you can still come to me,” Ya Ke Lin continued.
“Curse of Calamity…”
The Curse of Calamity Envoy nodded.
Ya Ke Lin finally got to the point: “Remove the Curse on me.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang added: “Also remove the Curse on Xiao Xunbao.”
“Xiao Xunbao ~”
Xiao Xunbao deliberately floated to a position higher than the Curse of Calamity Envoy, put its hands on its hips, and nodded.
That’s right, that’s right.
“Curse of Calamity.”
The Curse of Calamity Envoy’s eyes flickered, and it called out to Xiao Xunbao, indicating that the Curse Body on it was nothing, it wouldn’t last long, and would disappear after a while.
Saying that, its eyes glowed purple as it looked at Ya Ke Lin.
Ya Ke Lin only felt a certain power disappear from her body, her limbs became sore and weak, followed by intense fatigue and drowsiness.
She closed her eyes and immediately fell into a deep sleep, toppling backward.
Mi Jiala caught her.
“Fu Lu.” Fu Lu Tian Tian stepped forward and took her Yu Beast Master.
The Curse of Calamity Envoy became invisible and disappeared from its spot.
From Qiao Sang’s perspective, she saw the Curse of Calamity Envoy turn around dejectedly and float up into the sky.
“Hey, you haven’t removed the Curse from Xiao Xunbao yet!” Qiao Sang shouted.
As soon as her voice fell, the Curse of Calamity Envoy’s body stiffened, and then it turned into a purple light, moving rapidly with a “whoosh” and disappearing.
Qiao Sang: “…”
“Xiao Xunbao ~”
Xiao Xunbao called out nonchalantly, indicating that it was fine; that guy said the Curse on it wouldn’t last long and would soon disappear.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang instinctively thought for a moment.
It was true that the Curse of Calamity Envoy had many Curse-type skills, but Xiao Xunbao was only Cursed because it attacked its body. This kind of Curse was because the Curse of Calamity Envoy had some Curse-type physical characteristics, like Curse Body, so it shouldn’t be a big deal, and the other party had already said the duration was not long.
Thinking this, she felt a little relieved.
“Rock Sharp.”
Rock Sharp Golem called out, indicating that the battle was over and it would leave first.
After speaking, it turned and left.
“Fu Lu.”
Fu Lu Tian Tian held its Yu Beast Master and called out, expressing gratitude.
“Let your Yu Beast Master rest well,” Mi Jiala said, “Don’t forget about the Energy Pill.”
“Fu Lu.”
Fu Lu Tian Tian nodded, then bowed to Qiao Sang, turned, and left.
“That Curse of Calamity Envoy is quite true to its word,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Ya Ke Lin’s sleeping back, feeling emotional.
Mi Jiala glanced at her, then at Xiao Xunbao, and said:
“If I’m not mistaken, the Curse Body that Night Ring King was afflicted with just now was Hatred Transfer.”
Qiao Sang: “???”
Xiao Xunbao: “???”
“Hatred Transfer?” Qiao Sang felt something was amiss.
This term was simple and easy to understand, and it didn’t sound like a good thing at all.
“Xiao Xunbao?” Xiao Xunbao also had a bad premonition and quickly asked.
“This is an innate characteristic of the Curse of Calamity Envoy race,” Mi Jiala explained. “Targets that attack it will be affected by Hatred Transfer. For a certain period, all entities that hate the Curse of Calamity Envoy will transfer their hatred to the target that attacked it.”
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
Xiao Xunbao: “!!!”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao was shocked and cried out, “What should I do? Will I be assassinated?!”
Qiao Sang: “…”
Xiao Xunbao really watched too much TV…
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao showed an angry expression and called out.
It will go catch that guy back!
Saying that, it inexplicably felt very annoyed at Xiao Xunbao and uncontrollably bared its fangs at it.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao felt Big Brother Ya Bao’s hostility and felt like the sky was falling, crying out.
It’s going to find that guy right now!
Qiao Sang had calmed down by now and said:
“The Curse of Calamity Envoy said the duration is not long, so the Hatred Transfer should disappear quickly. Moreover, this is a characteristic, not a skill, so even if we find the Curse of Calamity Envoy, it cannot remove it voluntarily.”
Mi Jiala nodded slightly: “Passively activated characteristics indeed cannot be voluntarily removed.”
This was also why she didn’t stop the Curse of Calamity Envoy from leaving even though she saw it, because there was no use in keeping it.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao showed a disappointed expression.
“Ting Ting…”
Xiaoting Dragon understood, and couldn’t help but show an angry expression, with crackling yellow electric arcs appearing on its body.
Xiao Xunbao looked down and saw the sixth one looking at it with an unkind expression.
Xiao Xunbao: “…”
Damn Hatred Transfer…
“Don’t worry, it will disappear quickly,” Qiao Sang comforted.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao nodded.
It could only wait for the Hatred Transfer to disappear on its own.
…
On the way back, Xiao Xunbao looked left and right, extra cautious, fearing someone would suddenly come up and hit it.
“Don’t be nervous,” Qiao Sang said. “The Curse of Calamity Envoy is a King-level Pet after all. Even if someone hates it, it should be a Pet of a similar level. King-level Pets are very rare on the streets.”
Xiao Xunbao: “…”
What if it gets more nervous…
Xiao Xunbao then thought of something and looked at Xiaoting Dragon, wanting to ask if it still felt hatred towards itself, but upon seeing it, it forcibly swallowed its words.
Xiaoting Dragon, in its Yu Beast Master’s arms, was constantly wary of the Pets looking over, occasionally showing yellow electric arcs while staring at other Pets.
The sixth one seems to be in a bad mood right now… Xiao Xunbao was silent for a moment, then floated to Ya Bao’s side, its expression serious as it called out:
“Xiao Xunbao?”
Do you hate me when you see me now?
“Ya Ya.”
Ya Bao shook its head, then uncontrollably bared its fangs.
Xiao Xunbao: “…”
Xiao Xunbao was tired, Xiao Xunbao sighed.
It floated to its Yu Beast Master’s side, seeking a sense of security.
Suddenly, Xiaoting Dragon looked up.
Their eyes met, and a feeling of displeasure surged. Almost instinctively, yellow electric arcs appeared on Xiaoting Dragon’s body.
… Xiao Xunbao was silent for 0.1 seconds, then concealed its figure.
“How do you feel about your first battle with a Pet from Yan Tian Star?” Mi Jiala asked.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:
“Their reactions are very fast, and their minds work very quickly. If they could check my information beforehand like in a competition, I probably wouldn’t have won so easily.”
The Curse of Calamity Envoy was shocked that Xiao Xunbao had Superpower System skills, but it quickly recovered and immediately used Shadow Severing Blade to cut off the shadow controlling it. This clearly showed it was using its brain in battle, which is not common among wild Pets.
Although there were some exceptionally clever wild Pets she encountered in the secret realm, most fought by instinct.
“That’s because Pets on Yan Tian Star have been exposed to battle culture since birth,” Mi Jiala said with a smile, quite satisfied with Qiao Sang’s answer. “I said before that battling is prevalent on Yan Tian Star. There are battle channels during specific time slots every day, as well as various battle events and variety shows. So, even without a Yu Beast Master’s training, Pets’ overall battle quality won’t be too bad. In fact, some Pets’ battle decisions are much more accurate than the commands given by a Yu Beast Master.”
“Many Pets on Yan Tian Star are dissatisfied with their Yu Beast Masters’ command abilities and want to terminate their contracts.”
“The strong battle abilities of Yu Beast Masters on Yan Tian Star are inseparable from the supervision and self-awareness of their Pets.”
“I believe that if Yan Jiaoou and the others stay here for a while, their battle abilities will also improve significantly.”
After listening, Qiao Sang’s heart stirred. She naturally wasn’t worried about the battle abilities of Ya Bao, Lu Bao, and Steel Treasure, but Xiao Xunbao liked watching TV and going out to watch the excitement, and Qing Bao’s battle experience was much less compared to Ya Bao and the others. If they were influenced by this environment, their battle abilities should greatly improve.
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang immediately said: “I’ll have them watch the battle channel when I get back.”
Mi Jiala was silent for a moment and said:
“You can set aside one or two hours a day for them to watch, but the most important thing is actual combat. Yan Tian Star has no shortage of opponents for battles. You can spread the word and invite Pets of the same level as Yan Jiaoou or Qingyin Fairy to battle them. If they win, you can give them a certain amount of money as a reward. I believe many Pets will come.”
Isn’t this just a擂台赛 (arena challenge)? Qiao Sang said:
“I’ll see if there are any suitable competitions for Qing Bao then.”
If it’s about battling, it’s better to just go participate in competitions directly.
Currently, among Ya Bao and the others, only Qing Bao has the least battle experience.
Mi Jiala looked at the wary Xiaoting Dragon and said:
“There’s no rush to participate in competitions, but if you want to, besides competitions suitable for Qingyin Fairy, you can also consider participating in competitions suitable for Xiaoting Dragon.”
Qiao Sang was stunned:
“Is it okay even if it’s not contracted?”
“Some competitions and events on Yan Tian Star don’t restrict that,” Mi Jiala explained. “Many Yu Beast Masters and wild Pets participate in competitions or events before they intend to contract, to see if they have chemistry with each other. If not, they find a different contract target.”
Quite cautious… Qiao Sang thought to herself.
“Ting Ting…”
Xiaoting Dragon looked at Mi Jiala with an unkind expression. It always felt that this human had ill intentions.
In casual conversation, Qiao Sang returned to her residence.
From afar, she saw a somewhat familiar figure holding a bouquet of flowers standing at the door.
“Meimei!”
Meimei in the distance heard the movement, turned her head, her eyes lit up, and she waved her paw at Qiao Sang.
“Ting Ting…”
Xiaoting Dragon keenly sensed something, and streaks of yellow electric arcs appeared on its body.
