Chapter 141: unusual ears

It turned out that others were specifically there to interview her, which was quite awkward…

At this moment, a slightly overweight middle-aged man in a white police uniform walked in, followed by two young police officers in blue uniforms.

“You must be Qiao Sang. You are truly young and promising, able to remain calm in a crisis and bring an A-level wanted criminal to justice at such a young age,” the middle-aged man in the white police uniform said with a smile, approaching her.

“This is Director Pan of our Hanggang City Police Station,” the male police officer in the blue uniform on the left introduced.

Qiao Sang was stunned and hadn’t even had time to speak when Director Pan chuckled beside her:

“Several media outlets have come to report on this incident. We will ensure they publicize it truthfully, so everyone knows that Hanggang has produced a young female hero like you.”

The beautiful reporter aptly interjected, “I will definitely report on it thoroughly.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

With things said to this extent, what else could she say?

It was two hours later when she emerged from the Police Station.

The reporter friends were too enthusiastic, and Qiao Sang felt she couldn’t quite handle it.

Questions came one after another, not only about how Huangming Mountain subdued the A-level wanted criminal but also about Qunbao.

However, it was understandable. The previously exposed photos of the Fire Fang Dog’s new form were not high-definition enough, and this news was still a hot topic.

Any Pet like the Fire Fang Dog’s new form appearing before the public would definitely attract attention.

Qiao Sang didn’t hide anything; since it was something that would be known sooner or later, she just told the truth.

Who knew these reporters would go crazy…

If she hadn’t put Qunbao back into the yu beast codex later, those gazes and that intense atmosphere felt like they were going to devour it alive.

It must be said that news media workers are truly… dedicated… for the sake of news… they aren’t afraid of fire-type Pets like ordinary people…

At a corner, Qiao Sang summoned Qunbao from the yu beast codex.

Qunbao was momentarily stunned upon seeing its surroundings after emerging.

Where are the people? Where are the microphones? Where are the cameras?

“It’s alright now, we’re out,” Qiao Sang said, watching Qunbao look around.

“Ya!”

Qunbao breathed a sigh of relief.

It hadn’t looked in a mirror or worn sunglasses today, and with so many cameras pointed at it, it was really afraid they would take ugly pictures of it. Thankfully, it was out now.

Just then, the ground suddenly rippled.

A Pet about 50 centimeters tall, covered in short, brownish-gray fur, with short, rounded ears, and a dark black stripe on its forehead, appeared before it.

“Ya!”

Qunbao was startled and instinctively wanted to spray Spark at it.

Because recently, all skill releases have been Spark, if Qunbao were to attack, the first skill it would think of would be Spark.

“Wait, don’t hit it,” Qiao Sang stopped it.

The Pet in front of them was a Short-Eared Mouse, a mid-level Pet that naturally possessed the ability to burrow. This wasn’t the most important thing.

What was important was that this Short-Eared Mouse not only had a work ID badge hanging from its chest but also a camera, clearly indicating it was a Pet with an owner and a job.

“Short-eared.”

The Short-Eared Mouse politely greeted them, raising its right paw to show the ID badge on its chest.

Qiao Sang bent down to look.

It was a press pass…

Qiao Sang looked at the Short-Eared Mouse with a complicated expression.

Indeed, its ability to not be afraid of crowds and burrow directly in front of the interviewee was quite suitable for a reporter.

“Short-eared, Short-eared.”

Seeing that the other party had looked at its work ID, the Short-Eared Mouse picked up its camera and called out twice to Qunbao.

Qunbao was stunned when the camera was pointed at it, then, realizing what it was about to do, it straightened its head and chest, striking a cool pose.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She wondered whether to remind Qunbao that taking photos from such a low angle, like the Short-Eared Mouse was doing, would result in photos from a death angle…

Qiao Sang looked at Qunbao, who was trying hard to maintain a poker face. Forget it, her Qunbao was perfect from 360 degrees!

This matter was just a small interlude.

The Short-Eared Mouse politely waved its paw and left, not bothering to ask questions endlessly like the other reporters.

However, even if it had asked, Qiao Sang wouldn’t have understood anyway, which was also true…

With a huge sum of money in hand, Qiao Sang was in a great mood, so much so that she walked with a spring in her step on the way to school.

…

Saint Water Middle School.

Vice Principal’s office.

Liu Yao squatted down, first picking up Qunbao’s paw to examine it, then flipping open its eyelid to look.

Qiao Sang sighed beside him, feeling as if it resembled a doctor examining a patient…

“Have you given it a name?” Liu Yao gently tugged Qunbao’s ear, looking inside.

Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned: “Qunbao.”

Liu Yao: “…”

“No, I’m talking about the species name for this form. You are the first to evolve a Fire Fang Dog into a new form, so you have the right to name it,” Liu Yao said.

“Yan Ling Dog.” Only then did Qiao Sang remember that she hadn’t told the Vice Principal about the name Yan Ling Dog.

“Yan Ling Dog…” Liu Yao stopped what he was doing and looked at Qiao Sang in surprise: “The name you chose is quite fitting.”

“Is that so?” Qiao Sang scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Of course, it was fitting. It wasn’t a name she came up with; it was the name displayed in the yu beast codex, so its origin was definitely authentic.

“When did you realize that the Yan Ling Dog’s ears were unusual?” Liu Yao asked.

Unusual ears… She didn’t know that…

“I knew it as soon as it evolved; its ears became much larger than before,” Qiao Sang blurted out.

The Fire Fang Dog’s ears were already prominent during its time, and after evolving into a Yan Ling Dog, judging by its current body proportions, they looked even more prominent than before, so it wasn’t too much of a stretch.

Liu Yao: “…”

“You’re only looking at the surface, but I’m not entirely sure right now. Let me check with an otoscope,” Liu Yao said, then nodded to the Tian Xian Bat beside him.

The Tian Xian Bat disappeared on the spot.

Five seconds later, it was back, bringing the otoscope equipment with it.

This efficiency, this speed… Qiao Sang was truly envious.

Liu Yao placed the ultra-fine endoscope near Qunbao’s ear.

Qunbao couldn’t help but twitch its ear. It was so itchy…

The visual display connected to the endoscope was only the size of a regular tablet. Liu Yao looked at the visual display, examined it for a bit, and quickly came to a conclusion.

“Indeed, the Yan Ling Dog’s inner ear has an ultrasonic positioning structure. The specific frequency of sounds it can hear is still unclear, but it should at least be twenty times that of humans,” Liu Yao said, putting away the endoscope and placing it aside: “It’s a pity it can’t emit ultrasonic waves like an Echo Bat, otherwise it could use the reflected echoes to move freely in the dark.”

Qiao Sang realized that ‘Ling’ (聆) meant ’to listen,’ didn’t it?

She didn’t feel it was a pity that it couldn’t emit ultrasonic waves. Originally, according to normal evolution, the Fire Fang Dog should have evolved into a Burning Fire Dog.

Now, being able to evolve into a Yan Ling Dog with stronger hearing and an additional powerful Superpower System was already a blessing.

“I think it’s pretty good as it is,” Qiao Sang said, smiling at Qunbao.

“Ya!”

Qunbao felt its Yu Beast Master’s gaze, its eyes curved, and it wagged its tail in response.

Liu Yao’s mouth curved upward at the sight and he didn’t say anything more about the Yan Ling Dog’s hearing.

“I’ve finished examining the Yan Ling Dog. I remember you also have a Treasure Hunting Ghost. Summon it now so I can see it,” Liu Yao said, standing up.

Qiao Sang nodded and said to the air, “Little Treasure Hunting.”

“Xun~”

The next second, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost appeared on the visual display.

It was holding the endoscope in its paw, mimicking Liu Yao’s earlier examination of Qunbao, and putting it into its own ear.
