Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 145: Forgot to change information
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment before remembering that there was a task to do.
“Are the tasks self-selected or assigned by Zheng Baolong?” Qiao Sang asked.
“When we go to the Yu Beast Center, the Staff will filter tasks for you based on your Pet’s attributes, level, and skills, and then we’ll choose ourselves. Just update Zheng Baolong on the task’s progress. He basically won’t interfere, at most he’ll just scold you after the task is over,” Wang Yao replied.
Qiao Sang was silent for a few seconds: “Is there never a situation where he praises you?”
Wang Yao spread her hands and said helplessly: “You don’t know, unless the task is completed perfectly, the client gives you five stars and leaves a good review, making Zheng Baolong speechless. Otherwise, he will definitely nitpick and lecture you.”
“Is five stars very difficult?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.
“That’s not just difficult,” Wang Yao complained. “Some people who post tasks are incredibly difficult to deal with. They won’t give full stars if there’s even a slight dissatisfaction. Sometimes, even if you clearly solved their problem, they’ll insist you had an attitude problem during the task and leave a long comment criticizing you.”
“Do you remember the three from the team battle group who were scolded in the training ground for half a day after finishing their task last time?”
Qiao Sang nodded: “I remember.”
“They went to do a rotating sparring task. They sparred for several days, and when they left, the person who posted the task was even laughing and chatting with them,” Wang Yao shrugged. “But when they submitted the task and checked the comments, it said they were too weak and didn’t provide effective training.”
Qiao Sang’s internal alarm bells rang. It seemed the tasks were not as simple as she had imagined.
…
Hang Port Beast Center.
Third floor, Task Hall.
On the virtual oversized screen in the hall, tasks were constantly being refreshed. What was displayed there were either recently posted tasks or tasks that had been left unclaimed for a long time.
Many people gathered in front of the virtual screen to check if there were any suitable tasks for them.
The vast majority of the tasks displayed required going into a secret realm, which was not suitable for new Yu Beast Masters.
“Have you all registered your numbers?” Zheng Guoping asked the students in front of him.
Shi Gaofeng, Xu Yajie, and others nodded.
“The main purpose of you accepting tasks is for training. Don’t just pick any task to complete it. You need to understand what this task can bring you, understand?” Zheng Guoping said earnestly.
“Understood,” everyone replied.
Zheng Guoping nodded with satisfaction and turned to find a seat.
Wang Yao looked at Zheng Baolong’s back, tutted, and whispered to Qiao Sang: “Aside from the very beginning, he’s never accompanied us to the Yu Beast Center. This time, he’s clearly here for you, and what he just said was probably meant for you.”
Qiao Sang was startled, and immediately felt some pressure.
There were 23 task reception windows, and her number was 02899. It was soon her turn.
Qiao Sang went to window 06.
The Staff member at the reception was a woman with shoulder-length hair.
“Hello, please show your information card and Yu Beast Master badge.”
Qiao Sang took out her information card and Yu Beast Master badge and handed them over.
After scanning, the Staff member looked at the information displayed on the computer several times, uncertainly.
What the heck? 15 years old? Fire Fang Dog and Treasure Hunting Ghost?
Seriously? Could the information be wrong?
Although she was very doubtful internally, years of professional etiquette kept the Staff member’s expression calm.
“There’s no record of any tasks for you to hand over. Are you here to post a task or receive one?”
“Receive.”
“Then I’ll filter some for you. Please wait. You have a Fire Fang Dog, I wonder if it…”
Before the Staff member could finish, Qiao Sang interrupted her: “Mine isn’t a Fire Fang Dog.”
As expected.
The Staff member breathed a sigh of relief. She thought to herself, how could such a young child have contracted two Pets, one Fire-type and one Ghost-type?
She wondered which careless person made such a mistake during registration.
“Sorry, my Fire Fang Dog evolved, and I haven’t had time to update the information yet,” Qiao Sang continued.
Pet evolution doesn’t require registration within seven working days like contracting does. She had been staying at school recently, and by the time she finished training and came out, the Yu Beast Center was already closed, so she hadn’t updated her Pet’s information.
The Staff member listened blankly to this sentence, repeating it several times in her mind.
Evolved? Evolved?!
Seeing that the Staff member wasn’t speaking, Qiao Sang asked: “Do I need to go downstairs and update the information first?”
The Staff member came back to her senses and put on her professional smile again: “No need, you can just summon your Pet and let me see it.”
“Okay.” Qiao Sang nodded and began to form the summoning hand seals.
Ever since Yabao was interviewed by a large group of reporters a week ago, its handsome, high-definition face had appeared on various news pages in the Yuhua region.
When walking on the road, it would be surrounded by onlookers if there were many people. Going to school in the morning was fine, as there weren’t many people due to the early hour, but when returning home from school in the evening, they would always be surrounded by several circles of people.
There was no other way, they could only take shortcuts.
Qiao Sang was not flustered either.
Hot news emerged endlessly every day. Once the hype for the Fire Fang Dog’s new evolution passed, this situation would no longer occur.
In the past two days, when returning home, the number of people enthusiastically greeting them had significantly decreased.
In a while, their peaceful life should resume.
However, there was still some popularity now, and the Yu Beast Center was a place with a large flow of people. For ease of movement, Qiao Sang could only put Yabao back into the yu beast codex first.
Under the gray star array, a red and white figure appeared within.
The Staff member suddenly stood up from her chair.
This… this one looks so much like the Pet that appeared in the news a while ago?!
Her expression was dazed. Yes, the Fire Fang Dog’s new evolution. Wasn’t the Pet this child registered a Fire Fang Dog?
“Ya!”
Yabao barked excitedly.
It was finally out!
However, the next second, Qiao Sang waved her right hand, and before Yabao could express its inner excitement further, it returned to the yu beast codex.
…
Qiao Sang sat in front of window 06, looking at the tasks displayed on the desktop screen, sliding her finger across the screen, browsing them one by one.
They were all basic tasks that could only be done by Fire-type Pets and Ghost-type Pets, and the scope was all within Zhehai Province.
F-level Beastmasters were too low-level and would not be assigned adventure tasks in secret realms.
Based on Qiao Sang’s current Yu Beast Master level, the tasks displayed on the screen were all relatively safe daily tasks.
【Task: Haunted House urgently needs Ghost-type Pets for three days, no level limit, the scarier the appearance the better, preferably with skills like Dream】
【Task Location: No. 231 Qin She Road, Hanggang City, Zhehai Province】
【Task Reward: 1000 alliance coins per day】
Qiao Sang glanced at it twice and quickly rejected this task.
Little Qunbao was so cute and didn’t meet the requirements at all, besides, it couldn’t use Dream…
She continued to look down.
【Task: Looking for a Fire-type Pet that can precisely control energy output, for two days of outdoor camping. When cooking outdoors, it is hoped that the Fire-type Pet can perfectly control the heat.】
【Task Location: Nanxia Shiling, Hanggang City, Zhehai Province】
【Task Reward: 3000 alliance coins】
Wouldn’t it be better to just bring fire-starting tools… What a bunch of people with too much money to spend…
