Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1168: Qingbao calls the boss? (Two in one)

Chapter 1163: Qingbao Calls Me Boss? (Two-in-One)

What’s going on…? Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned.

Could it be that Electric Bomb Weird wasn’t happy staying here just now?

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao called out from the side, asking if the task had been posted.

“It’s done.” Qiao Sang handed over her phone and instructed, “If anyone calls about the task, just answer it for me and tell them to come over today.”

“Xiao Xunbao ~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded and called out, its paw eagerly wanting to take the phone.

“And also.” Qiao Sang held the phone high and added, “You’re only allowed to check for half an hour. Don’t forget to go out and battle after lunch.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao drooped, but still nodded and took the phone.

Qiao Sang looked up at Thunder Dragon and Qingbao flying around in the living room and smiled contentedly.

Her original plan was twofold: first, to evolve Qingbao, and second, for her brain domain to reach 60% and contract Xiaoting Dragon. Now, both have been accomplished, and it’s even earlier than she imagined. Thunder Dragon has even evolved to High Level. Everything is developing in a good direction.

As her thoughts flickered, Dragon King, who was watching TV nearby, changed the channel.

It was a news channel.

The Host reporting the news said:

“Next, recently, there have been incidents of High-level Ghost-type Pets impersonating Beginner Pets for street battles, deceiving many Yu Beast Masters and Pets, who have suffered varying degrees of loss.”

“Below is an interview with a victim…”

The TV screen switched to the interview footage. A monkey-like Pet, about three meters tall and mostly brown, indignantly accused the camera:

“Bad bad!”

“Bad bad!”

“Bad bad bad!”

Qiao Sang was drawn in by the cries from the TV.

Bad Monkey, an Evil-type High-level Pet, likes to do bad things. Nine out of ten Bad Monkeys have criminal records…

It’s quite amusing that a Bad Monkey is calling others bad… Qiao Sang’s mind conjured up the information on the Pet being interviewed on the screen, and she couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly, a smile playing on her lips.

However, the next second, she couldn’t smile anymore.

The interview footage switched to surveillance. In the unclear video, a Ghost-type Pet, only tens of centimeters tall, suddenly appeared behind the Bad Monkey, raised its paw, and instantly condensed a black Shadow Ball, throwing it at the Bad Monkey’s head.

The Bad Monkey immediately fell to the ground, unconscious.

The Ghost-type Pet, only tens of centimeters tall, pointed at the hot dog vendor nearby and called out to the Bad Monkey.

The vendor nodded and handed over two hot dogs.

The Ghost-type Pet, only tens of centimeters tall, took the hot dogs and handed one to another Pet, also not very large, with a lower body of white clouds, that had suddenly appeared.

The two Pets ate hot dogs while walking away together.

Although the picture quality wasn’t particularly clear, Qiao Sang still easily recognized that the two Pets walking away together in the surveillance video were Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao.

Dragon King obviously also recognized who the two Pets were. It looked at Xiao Xunbao, then at Qingbao, and finally at Qiao Sang.

Just as it was about to say something, the surveillance footage on the TV switched back to the Host’s broadcast:

“According to many victims, this Ghost-type Pet is not large and does not wear a miniature shrinking bracelet, deliberately leading others to believe it is a low-level Pet, thereby tricking them into agreeing to a battle.”

“We have consulted with Pet experts, and this Pet is the Night Ring King of Blue Star, a King-level Ghost-type Pet of Blue Star. Please do not be deceived by its appearance and agree to battles casually, to avoid suffering varying degrees of loss…”

Xiao Xunbao was already sensitive about its size, so it shouldn’t be impersonating a Beginner Pet. It even made the news, and she wondered if it would affect Xiao Xunbao’s future attempts to invite others to battle… Hopefully, Xiao Xunbao is currently engrossed in its phone and hasn’t seen this news… Qiao Sang turned to look at Dragon King, wanting to signal it with her eyes to change the channel.

“Thump…”

At that moment, the sound of something falling on the sofa came.

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw Xiao Xunbao letting its phone drop, staring blankly at the TV, like a clay sculpture.

It saw it after all…

Before she could speak, Xiao Xunbao turned its head, looked over, its eyes brimming with tears.

Then, as if it had suffered a great grievance, tears fell, and it cried out loudly:

“Xun!”

Then, wiping its tears, it floated towards the room.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Aren’t you taking your phone?” Qiao Sang asked.

Xiao Xunbao’s body stiffened, and it silently floated back, picked up its phone, wiped away a tear, and floated towards the room, sobbing.

Seeing this, Qingbao followed, floating along.

“Thunder Dragon?”

Thunder Dragon was above, watching this scene, showing a confused expression, and called out, asking what was wrong with its boss.

“Nothing.” Qiao Sang stood up and said, “Let’s go to the outdoor training ground and try out all the awakened skills.”

Saying that, she walked towards the outdoor training ground.

Thunder Dragon instantly forgot about Xiao Xunbao’s matter, twisting its body and following along.

“Mog Mog…”

They all left?

Dragon King looked at the empty living room, devoid of people and Pets, feeling a bit lonely, and inexplicably thought of its own Yu Beast Master and those juniors in its territory.

In the room.

Xiao Xunbao sniffled and continued searching for the mysterious fruit on its phone.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao appeared beside it, calling out with a sense of emotion, indicating that it hadn’t expected them to make the news.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao looked up with a displeased expression, called out, indicating that it would never again casually challenge others to battle just because Qingbao wanted to eat something.

Battling the Bad Monkey was purely an accident. While looking for opponents on the street, Qingbao suddenly said it was a bit hungry and pointed at the hot dogs on a nearby stall, saying it wanted to eat. But Xiao Xunbao didn’t have money, so it challenged the Bad Monkey, who was buying hot dogs, to a battle with hot dogs as the stake.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao called out.

Didn’t you want to eat too?

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao angrily called out, indicating that it only battled because it saw Qingbao wanted to eat, and eating hot dogs itself was just a bonus!

After speaking, it looked at its phone, not intending to pay attention to Qingbao anymore.

Qingbao looked at Xiao Xunbao’s appearance, feeling inexplicably guilty.

Undeniably, during this period, Xiao Xunbao had indeed battled many low-level opponents because of it.

“Qingqing?”

After hesitating for a moment, Qingbao floated next to Xiao Xunbao, looked at its phone, and called out, attempting to strike up a conversation.

What are you looking at?

Xiao Xunbao moved its position with the phone, turning its back to it.

Qingbao: “…”

“Qingqing?”

Qingbao called out again.

Are you not going to talk to me anymore?

Xiao Xunbao continued to turn its back to it.

Qingbao pouted.

Since its birth, when had it ever been subjected to such neglect?

Unusual gusts of wind blew through the room, one after another.

The curtains swayed, and the chandelier swung.

Xiao Xunbao looked at its phone, and unlike usual, it didn’t quickly flee because Qingbao was angry.

The wind stopped.

Is it really angry? Did I go too far? Qingbao recalled how Xiao Xunbao never seemed to get angry before, no matter what, and now seeing it ignore itself, it uncharacteristically began to self-reflect.

Why isn’t the wind blowing anymore…? Xiao Xunbao strongly resisted the urge to look back.

Time passed second by second.

Just as Xiao Xunbao thought Qingbao had Wind Transformation and left, Qingbao’s voice rang out:

“Qingqing?”

Boss, you’re not really angry, are you?

“Xun?!”

Xiao Xunbao could no longer hold back, its eyes wide, it abruptly turned its head.

Qingbao called it, Boss?!

11:30 AM.

Dining table.

You Zhen Meow served the cooked dishes one by one.

“I didn’t expect Xiaoting Dragon to evolve into Thunder Dragon so quickly.” Mi Jiala sat at the dining table, looking at Thunder Dragon, and sighed with emotion.

It was supposed to take another day or two, but it evolved after she was only gone for one morning.

“It ate a bunch of Dragon Power Fruits this morning.” Qiao Sang said with a smile, “Teacher Ya Ke Lin checked Qingbao and also checked Thunder Dragon incidentally, and found that its energy had already reached the Beginner limit.”

“Thunder Dragon’s absorption ability is good.” Mi Jiala praised.

The energy a Pet can absorb daily is often limited; it’s not that it can absorb as much as it eats. Absorbing a lot of energy daily is also part of a Pet’s potential.

It’s all thanks to the Gold Finger… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

“What abilities and skills did Thunder Dragon awaken?” Mi Jiala asked.

“The ability is Static, and the skills are Dragon Claw, Electro Web, and Ten Thousand Volts.” Qiao Sang replied.

She didn’t mention the Thunder Devour ability.

In broad daylight, with no rain or thunder, under normal circumstances, a Yu Beast Master generally wouldn’t immediately detect newly awakened abilities in a newly evolved Pet without actual demonstration.

She planned to wait until it rained someday, or until an Electric-type Pet came over, and if Thunder Dragon could directly devour the opponent’s lightning, then she would pretend to have just discovered that Thunder Dragon had this ability.

“It actually awakened Ten Thousand Volts.” Mi Jiala was surprised for a moment, then quickly regained her composure.

Qiao Sang’s Pets and she herself were too abnormal. In comparison, Thunder Dragon awakening a High Level Electric-type skill didn’t seem to be anything to be surprised about.

As they conversed, Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao floated happily from the room.

It recovered its mood so quickly… Qiao Sang glanced in Xiao Xunbao’s direction and found that it was beaming, its mood appearing even happier than usual.

“Xiao Xunbao ~”

Xiao Xunbao floated to its Yu Beast Master’s side, actively placed its phone on the table, then went to its Energy Pill and began to eat with a great appetite.

Could it be that the mysterious fruit that can make it bigger has been found? Probably not. If a related clue had been found, Xiao Xunbao definitely wouldn’t eat first, but would talk about it instead… Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts, picked up on what Teacher Mi Jiala said, and joked:

“Maybe it evolved after being struck by Ten Thousand Volts, which is why it awakened this skill.”

Mi Jiala: “…”

“Thunder Dragon…”

Is that how it works…? Thunder Dragon ate its Energy Pill, showing a thoughtful expression.

So if it evolves by being attacked by other skills in the future, will it also awaken the skills that attacked it?

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and said:

“Are we going to stay here all the time, or should we change places?”

“Why, do you have somewhere you want to go?” Mi Jiala looked over.

“No.” Qiao Sang said, “I was just thinking that now that Qingbao and Thunder Dragon have evolved, there’s nothing else to do here all day besides training, and there’s still no news about the sun crystal. If we go to other places to inquire, we might find out something.”

Now that the news has also reported Xiao Xunbao’s incident, it might be difficult for Xiao Xunbao to find opponents for battles in the future. If they change places, this problem wouldn’t arise.

Qiao Sang didn’t mention the latter reason.

Mi Jiala showed a thoughtful expression, seemingly pondering.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang continued:

“Most importantly, there’s Colored Flower Bud Shalala.”

“Colored Flower Bud Shalala?”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala, who was eating its energy meal, showed a confused expression and looked up.

Qiao Sang continued:

“The Tenth Seat said to let me take Colored Flower Bud Shalala to travel everywhere. If I keep Colored Flower Bud Shalala here, I believe it will also be bored, after all, its original request to the Tenth Seat was to go out and travel.”

“Colored Flower Bud Shalala…”

Upon hearing this, Colored Flower Bud Shalala couldn’t help but show a moved expression.

“Steel Chief.” Steel Treasure’s inner voice came.

Good excuse.

Qiao Sang’s expression remained unchanged, pretending she hadn’t heard that.

Mi Jiala glanced at Colored Flower Bud Shalala, then stopped pondering, and immediately said, “Then let’s change places. Do you have a place in mind?”

“Menzhou.” Qiao Sang stated the location she had already decided on.

She had specifically searched online and found that Menzhou was the place where fire meteorites had fallen earliest, so there might still be residual sun crystal there.

“Then let’s go to Menzhou.” Mi Jiala said without a second thought.

Indeed, as long as the matter concerned Colored Flower Bud Shalala, Teacher Mi Jiala wouldn’t think too much… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

Mi Jiala immediately followed up:

“Get ready, we’ll depart tomorrow.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “That’s too fast.”

She was shocked for the Nth time by Teacher Mi Jiala’s efficiency.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to go?” Mi Jiala asked, “Why, do you still have something to do here?”

“I actually do.” Qiao Sang said, “I just posted a task, waiting for an Electric-type Pet to come and battle Thunder Dragon.”

Mi Jiala pondered and said, “Do you think Thunder Dragon might have awakened other abilities?”

Thunder Dragon is a Dragon and Electric dual-type Pet, so the abilities it awakens would undoubtedly be related to these two types. Electric-type Pet abilities are basically all related to electricity. To find out if there are corresponding abilities, an Electric-type Pet is needed for experimentation.

Qiao Sang immediately flattered her: “Teacher is brilliant.”

Mi Jiala’s lips curved slightly, then she restrained herself and asked, “Has no Electric-type Pet taken this task yet?”

“No.” Qiao Sang shook her head.

“Xiao Xunbao ~”

Xiao Xunbao, who was eating with its head down, looked up and called out, indicating that the task had already been accepted and it had already called to tell the other party to come over now.

It’s already been accepted? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

“Ding-dong ~”

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

You Zhen Meow went to open the door.

Not long after, it led in an Electric Bomb Weird with a black tie around its neck and a black top hat on its head.

“Diàn Diàn.”

Electric Bomb Weird took off its hat, bowed slightly, and called out quite gentlemanly.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said, “Diàn Sǐ Nǐ?”

“Diàn Diàn?”

Electric Bomb Weird put on its hat, showing a confused expression.
