Chapter 1161: Express (2 in 1)

Chapter 1156: Delivery (Two-in-One)

Qiao Sang was stunned: “Lightning Rod Room?”

“It’s a room specifically designed for Electric-type Pets to train in Yan Tian Star,” Mi Jiala explained. “This room constantly releases lightning and is filled with Electric-type energy. Pets choose the appropriate room level based on their own grade. Besides making Electric-type Pets’ training of Electric-type skills twice as effective, it also increases energy and enhances defensive power.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and she asked:

“Does Gaozhou have it too?”

“Yes,” Mi Jiala nodded. “This is a relatively popular training room in Yan Tian Star, and almost every country and city has them.”

After a pause, she added, “The venues with these training rooms are collectively called Pet Tempering Centers. You can find them by simply searching.”

Qiao Sang chuckled, “Pet Tempering Center? Why is it called Tempering Center? Won’t you be tempering in vain if you go in?”

Mi Jiala glanced at her and said clearly, “It’s Tempering Center, as in the ‘hundred refinements’ of tempering.”

“Oh, oh, I misheard,” Qiao Sang promptly admitted her mistake.

Could it be that my pronunciation still needs correction… Mi Jiala had a moment of self-doubt, then collected her thoughts and instructed:

“Xiaoting Dragon is still only a Beginner, so it should go to the Lightning Rod Room corresponding to Beginner Pets. It’s best not to exceed one hour, because the lightning inside…”

As she said this, she suddenly remembered that Xiaoting Dragon had the SS-grade Lightning Rod characteristic, and she changed her tone, continuing:

“The lightning inside should have no effect on Pets with the Lightning Rod characteristic, but Beginner Pets have limited energy absorption, so don’t stay inside for too long. If the time is too long, it will damage their bodies.”

“Understood,” Qiao Sang nodded.

Pets cannot absorb as much energy as you give them; otherwise, the owner of that guesthouse wouldn’t have kept the SS-grade ice wane crystal hanging around Cool Frog’s neck.

Watching Mi Jiala head to the second floor, Qiao Sang went to the outdoor training ground and called out:

“Tingbao!”

“Ting Ting?”

Tingbao, who had just moved its body to the outdoor training ground to prepare for training, stopped and turned its head, calling out to ask what was wrong.

“Don’t train yet, we’re going out,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ting Ting…”

Tingbao was silent for a moment. It felt that its Yu Beast Master’s ideas changed very quickly. A few days ago, she told it to battle train, today she told it to specifically practice Discharge, and just as it was about to train, she told it to go out again.

It remembered how difficult it was for it to form a contract with its Yu Beast Master, so it said nothing and moved its body, crawling towards its Yu Beast Master.

“Ya Ya!”

At the same time, Yabao teleported next to its Yu Beast Master and called out, indicating that it also wanted to go out.

“Okay,” Qiao Sang said.

She had already gotten used to Yabao following her wherever she went.

Even if Yabao was training, when she wanted to go out, its main body would follow, leaving a clone behind to train.

Compared to Qunbao and the others, Yabao could be said to be the most clingy.

“Ting Ting?”

Tingbao crawled over, glanced at Yabao, then turned its head to look in the direction where Lubao was, showing a reluctant expression, and called out, asking if Lubao wasn’t coming.

“It needs to train,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ting Ting…”

Tingbao showed an expression of “okay then” and called out.

As it spoke, it quietly moved its body, moving a little further away from Yabao.

Qiao Sang opened the navigation and searched for “Pet Tempering Center.” The closest Pet Tempering Center was two kilometers away from the villa.

Walking out of the villa, Qiao Sang held Tingbao and mounted the enlarged Yabao.

Yabao flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.

A few minutes later.

“This is it,” Qiao Sang looked at the navigation on her phone, put it away, and said.

“Ya Ya!”

Yabao called out and ran downwards.

A King-level Pet is over a dozen meters tall. To avoid affecting people and Pets walking on the ground, when they were about ten meters high, Qiao Sang jumped down from Yabao with Tingbao in her arms.

She was now a B-level Beast Tamer, and her brain domain had reached the level of an A-grade Beastmaster, so jumping from a height of over ten meters was an easy feat.

The moment her Yu Beast Master jumped down, Yabao simultaneously slowly shrunk in size and landed on the ground.

Under the gaze of a crowd of people and Pets, Qiao Sang walked into the Pet Tempering Center.

“Hello, do you have an appointment?” the male Staff in professional attire asked.

Next to him stood a Pet also in professional attire.

In Yan Tian Star, slightly larger venues and companies generally have two receptionists: one human and one Pet, used to receive people and Pets, respectively.

It seems this Pet Tempering Center is quite large… Qiao Sang glanced at the Pet next to him and said, “No, I want a Lightning Rod Room.”

“May I ask what the specific grade of your Electric-type Pet is?” the male Staff asked.

“Beginner,” Qiao Sang replied.

“Beginner Electric-type Pets can only go to the Beginner Lightning Rod Room,” the male Staff said while checking the availability of rooms on the computer.

After about three seconds, he spoke:

“There are currently vacant Beginner Lightning Rod Rooms. How much time do you need?”

As he spoke, he added, “For Beginner Electric-type Pets, I suggest you use it for one hour first.”

“Then one hour it is,” Qiao Sang said.

She still didn’t know what Tingbao’s training situation would be like in the Lightning Rod Room. One hour was just right for observation. If the effect wasn’t ideal, then it would be better to stick to the usual training method.

“Okay,” the male Staff said. “One hour is 2999 alliance coins. If you become a member, you can get an 8.8% discount on all future visits. We are a global chain, and you can enjoy the corresponding discount at any Pet Tempering Center. A recharge of 100,000 is required to become a member.”

Qiao Sang calmly said, “I’ll try it out first.”

“Okay, payment by QR code or card?” the male Staff asked.

“QR code,” Qiao Sang said.

After she paid, led by the male Staff, she brought Yabao and Tingbao to a dimly lit room.

When the door opened, there was nothing inside.

The male Staff introduced, “You just let your Electric-type Pet stay inside. Whether it’s training Electric-type skills, absorbing energy, or tempering its physique, it will be twice as effective. You can wait in the lounge area outside. We have a dedicated lounge area that offers massage services, movie watching, and free food.”

Qiao Sang asked, “Can’t I stay inside with them?”

The male Staff was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, smiling as he explained, “Our Lightning Rod Room will release lightning in all directions. If you stay inside, you will definitely be affected. Unless you are a Yu Beast Master with particularly strong defensive power, or a Yu Beast Master who has received feedback from a General-level Pet, I do not recommend staying in the Beginner Lightning Rod Room.”

Qiao Sang placed Tingbao on the ground and said, “Then I’ll stay inside with them. My defensive power is strong enough.”

Does this child have no common sense? I’ve explained it so clearly. These two Pets are species I’ve never seen before. She’s clearly a second-generation Yu Beast Master. If anything happens, I can’t take responsibility… The male Staff put on a professional smile and said:

“Unless you are a C-level or above Yu Beast Master and have received feedback from Fighting-type, Rock-type, or Steel-type Pets, I still recommend not staying in here.”

“Even if this is just a Beginner Lightning Rod…”

The male Staff’s voice abruptly stopped as he stared blankly at the red pet tamer badge that suddenly appeared in his line of sight.

“I am a B-level Beast Tamer. Is that enough?” Qiao Sang said, holding her pet tamer badge.

“Enough, enough…” The male Staff stammered.

A B-level Beast Tamer! This girl who looked under 20 years old was actually a B-level Beast Tamer!

Ah! What had he just told a B-level Beast Tamer!

Qiao Sang put away her pet tamer badge.

The male Staff respectfully finished saying some relevant matters, then quickly left the Lightning Rod Room, closing the door, looking a bit flustered.

Before long, the entire room emitted a yellow light.

Bright electric arcs descended one after another from the ceiling.

Qiao Sang sat cross-legged in the corner, holding Yabao.

Yabao was now a King-level Pet, and this level of electric arc felt like child’s play to it. It even extended its paw to touch the place where the electric arc fell, feeling nothing.

“Ting Ting?”

Tingbao stayed in the center of the room, looked at its Yu Beast Master, and called out with a confused expression.

It didn’t know what to do now.

“Just train Discharge as you normally would,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ting Ting.”

Tingbao nodded, then crackling yellow electric arcs appeared around its body, striking sideways.

The room flickered with yellow light, and bright electric arcs struck its body one after another, having no effect on it whatsoever.

Tingbao continued to use Discharge as it usually did when training in the outdoor training ground.

At the same time, Qiao Sang closed her eyes, her consciousness entering the yu beast codex, and she turned to the page about Tingbao.

【Discharge (Minor Achievement 702/2000) +】

【Discharge (Minor Achievement 703/2000) +】

…

【Discharge (Minor Achievement 706/2000) +】

Every few seconds, the value of Discharge increased by one Point.

Qiao Sang frowned slightly.

This was no different from training in the outdoor training ground; each skill use only increased the value by one Point.

As her thoughts flickered, the value of Discharge suddenly jumped, from 706 to 709 in one go.

Qiao Sang’s eyes suddenly lit up, and her consciousness returned to reality.

She saw Tingbao performing Discharge, looking no different from before.

However, Qiao Sang’s eyesight was amazing, and she had also awakened Spirit Vision, clearly seeing tiny yellow starlight surrounding Tingbao’s body at this moment.

This should be Electric-type energy…

As Qiao Sang thought, she re-entered the yu beast codex with her consciousness and turned to the last page.

【Discharge (Minor Achievement 715/2000) +】

Tingbao had only used Discharge twice just now, but the value had increased by six Points. Teacher Mi Jiala was right; training Electric-type skills in the Lightning Rod Room indeed rapidly increased skill proficiency… Qiao Sang rejoiced inwardly, and her consciousness returned to reality.

After watching Tingbao train for a minute, she suddenly thought of something, closed her eyes, and began Meditation.

She was just staying here anyway, so she shouldn’t waste time.

“Ya Ya…”

Yabao turned to look at its Yu Beast Master, then also closed its eyes and began Meditation.

An hour later, the lightning in the room stopped.

“Knock, knock.”

Immediately after, a knock sounded, and the door was pushed open. The Staff walked in and said:

“Hello, your hour is up.”

Qiao Sang opened her eyes and said:

“Extend for another hour.”

“Okay, I’ll add another hour for you right away,” the Staff exited the room and closed the door.

The lightning from the ceiling began to strike downwards again, one after another.

“Ting Ting…”

Tingbao panted and called out, indicating that it had no energy left.

Qiao Sang: “…”

I almost forgot that Qunbao isn’t here right now, so I can’t get energy recovery fluid at any time. It seems that if I bring Tingbao here in the future, I’ll have to prepare a few bottles… Qiao Sang thought, while her consciousness entered the yu beast codex, adding two hundred Points after Tingbao’s grade, then her consciousness returned to reality, and she said earnestly:

“Some energy can only be stimulated from potential when energy is exhausted. Try again.”

“Ting Ting.”

Tingbao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Then it began to sense.

Soon, yellow electric arcs appeared around its body.

“Ting Ting!”

Tingbao showed a surprised expression, looked at its Yu Beast Master, and called out.

It really didn’t form the wrong contract; its Yu Beast Master was truly too smart!

“Keep practicing,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

“Ting Ting.”

Tingbao showed a serious expression, called out, and began to release electric arcs.

Although Tingbao wasn’t as hardworking as Yabao, at least it was as easy to fool as Yabao… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

…

Six in the evening.

Qiao Sang returned to the villa with Yabao and Tingbao.

Yabao immediately ran to the outdoor training ground.

“Ting Ting…”

Tingbao moved its body, climbed onto the sofa, and collapsed, looking utterly exhausted.

In previous training sessions, there was an endless supply of energy recovery fluid and Lubao’s Healing Light, but this time, there was nothing. Tingbao only felt its brain throbbing from exhaustion.

Qiao Sang went to the kitchen, preparing to see what there was to eat.

“Shasha…”

At this moment, Colored Flower Bud Shalala, in the form of Fresh Fresh Grass, came over, showing a wronged expression.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang asked upon seeing this.

“Shasha…”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala called out with a wronged expression.

Qiao Sang turned to Tingbao and called out:

“Quick, translate that!”

“Ting Ting…”

Tingbao called out weakly.

It said why didn’t you take it with you when you went out for so long.

Ah? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

She never expected Colored Flower Bud Shalala to say that.

“I took Tingbao to train,” Qiao Sang explained. “That place is very boring. I thought you’d be better off staying at home.”

“Shasha.”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala looked up, and as if mustering courage, called out.

But it wanted to go out together. Could you please not forget it when you go out in the future?

No one could refuse Colored Flower Bud Shalala, and Qiao Sang was no exception. She immediately said:

“Of course, I’ll take you with me from now on.”

“Shasha.”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s eyes curved, showing a happy expression.

…

Time slowly passed.

Over the next ten-odd days, Qunbao and Qingbao went out every day to battle Pets.

Qiao Sang, Yabao, and Colored Flower Bud Shalala took Tingbao to the Pet Tempering Center for training every day.

The proficiency of Discharge increased at a visible rate.

That evening.

Qiao Sang returned to the villa with the exhausted Tingbao.

Before she could even take off her shoes, her phone suddenly vibrated.

Qiao Sang took out her phone and saw it was an unknown number.

She pressed the answer button, and an unfamiliar voice came through:

“Hello, are you home now? You have a package; it’s from Blue Star.”

Thank you to the boss, Salted Fish Washed Ashore, for the reward! Wishing the boss all the best and abundant wealth!
