Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 156: Energy Pills
Instead of immediately heading to the Yu Beast Center to collect her reward, Qiao Sang went home.
Upon returning to her familiar room, she collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep, her eyelids already unable to stay open after an all-nighter.
After dozing for less than a minute, Qiao Sang felt like she had forgotten something. A moment later, she struggled to get up and charge her phone.
Now, she could finally sleep peacefully…
3 PM.
Qiao Sang woke up feeling completely refreshed, not a hint of drowsiness. She felt invigorated, even the air seemed fresher, and she had no desire to linger in bed.
She got up and washed her face.
After washing up, Qiao Sang suddenly realized that Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, who spent 23 out of 24 hours a day by her side, was not there.
That’s strange…
Qiao Sang closed her eyes and sensed around.
Her yu beast codex now had two pages, and her developed brain region was over 10%. As long as Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was inside the house, she could sense it.
The page in the yu beast codex related to Little Treasure Hunting Ghost glowed blue, and as her mind worked, various fragmented images appeared in her mind.
The next moment, the fragments pieced together to form a complete picture.
A familiar background, a grayish-yellow figure.
This was in the courtyard…
Qiao Sang opened her eyes and went to the courtyard, where she saw Little Treasure Hunting Ghost staring motionlessly at something on the ground.
Upon closer inspection, nine ants were neatly lined up on the ground.
Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned. Didn’t Little Treasure Hunting Ghost like to play with beautiful and novel things? Had its hobbies changed now?
“You…” Qiao Sang turned to ask, but then saw Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s eyes had turned purple, staring intently at the ants on the ground.
Qiao Sang was taken aback. Was it practicing Hypnosis?
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was different from Ya. Without supervision, it usually wouldn’t actively train its skills.
When it first started training, it might have had some novelty, but after training the same skill for a long time, it would lose interest.
It was like a student who disliked studying in class, either messing around or dozing off when the teacher wasn’t looking, unable to concentrate.
Qiao Sang found it incredible. In the past, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost only trained its skills under her supervision. Now, it was actively practicing skills even when she wasn’t watching.
Had something she didn’t know about happened?
Qiao Sang recalled what happened today. Other than what Little Treasure Hunting Ghost dreamed about while being hypnotized, which she didn’t know, it had been with her the rest of the time.
It was the dream. She immediately came to a conclusion.
“Xiao Xunbao, what did you dream about when you were hypnotized today?” Qiao Sang poked Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, who was focused on its training.
She hadn’t asked before because she wasn’t very interested in the dream.
To be honest, she had always been a relatively rational person. Without much thought, she could guess a little about what happened between the Old Lady and Ghost Absorption Lamp.
After finding the Ghost Absorption Lamp, she vaguely knew what would happen, but besides a sigh of emotion, she didn’t think deeply about it.
However, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s change because of it made her curious about the dream.
“Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was concentrating on practicing Hypnosis and was startled.
The purple light in its eyes faded, and it turned its head to see its Yu Beast Master. It happily floated onto her head and habitually tugged at two strands of her hair.
“Xun!”
Qiao Sang reached out and held it down: “You still haven’t said what you dreamed about after being hypnotized today.”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost paused, then floated into the air and vividly described the scene it dreamed of.
After Little Treasure Hunting Ghost finished speaking, Qiao Sang hesitantly said, “So you’re actively training now to evolve faster so I can receive the feedback?”
“Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost nodded seriously.
Qiao Sang fell silent. It was false to say she wasn’t moved; who would have thought that Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, being so small, could think so much?
She reached out and stroked Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s head, saying with satisfaction, “Work hard. Evolving seven or eight times will be enough.”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was stunned. Seven or eight times…
“Xun!”
It clenched one paw into a fist and placed it beside its face, indicating it could do it.
The next second, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost suddenly thought of something and instantly teleported away. When it reappeared, it was holding a book.
“Xiao Xunbao.”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost handed the book over.
Qiao Sang was surprised, looked down, and was immediately dumbfounded.
“The Overbearing Champion Falls in Love with Me.”
Jin Feifan had lent her this book when they were boarding. It wasn’t that she borrowed it from Jin Feifan; rather, Jin Feifan had suddenly appeared before her with this book, wanting to get on good terms with her.
At that time, seeing Jin Feifan’s nervous expression, she didn’t refuse.
She flipped through two pages—traditional plot, no interest—so she put the book aside.
She had forgotten about the book, but now Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had found it and was solemnly handing it to her…
Qiao Sang looked at the book in silence for two seconds, then looked up and asked, “Is this for me to read?”
“Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost nodded seriously.
“Why?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.
“Xun.”
“Xiao Xunbao.”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost explained.
It had learned in its dream that for a Yu Beast Master to receive feedback, besides the Pet’s evolution, they also needed to read more books to develop their brain region.
Qiao Sang was stunned: “So you’re giving me this book to develop my brain region?”
“Xun.”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost nodded.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Should she teach Little Treasure Hunting Ghost how to read characters now…
“Oh, right.” Qiao Sang put down the book and changed the subject: “What did the Old Lady say at the end?”
What made her curious was probably the Old Lady’s final words, because it was clearly that sentence that made Ghost Absorption Lamp change its mind.
“Xiao Xunbao.”
“Xiao Xunbao.”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost paused, then repeated.
“Don’t save me, God Lamp. This is my last wish.”
Qiao Sang fell silent. A wish, huh…
…
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost wanted to stay in the courtyard to continue practicing skill release. Although its motivation for autonomous training was different from Ya’s, the direction of improvement was consistent.
Qiao Sang formed a hand seal and summoned Ya.
“Ya!”
As soon as Ya appeared, it instantly became excited seeing its surroundings.
Although it didn’t know why it was at home as soon as it came out, being at home was good! It could move around freely!
Qiao Sang looked at Ya’s energetic appearance and remembered how impossible it was to wake it up in the early morning.
She suddenly wanted to tap its head…
Fortunately, she managed to restrain herself. Qiao Sang had Little Treasure Hunting Ghost bring out the two cans of Energy Pill.
She had high hopes for the Energy Pill; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been willing to spend so much money on it.
Different Pets naturally had different tastes.
Energy Pill could satisfy a Pet’s taste and also purify and crystallize energy, condensing it together. Based on different formulas, it allowed Pets to advance further in corresponding aspects, building a perfect foundation.
In the past, she had always given Ya and Xiao Xunbao ordinary milk and easy-to-make energy meals. This was the first time she was giving them proper, specially formulated Energy Pill.
“Try the taste.” Qiao Sang took one Energy Pill from each can and placed them in front of Ya and Xiao Xunbao.
“Ya!”
Ya didn’t look closely at all. Since its Yu Beast Master told it to eat, it lowered its head and swallowed it in one gulp.
As the Energy Pill entered its mouth, Ya’s body trembled, and its eyes instantly lit up.
“Yaya!”
It looked at Qiao Sang, wagging its tail happily.
It wanted more!
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was much more cautious. It looked at the dark Energy Pill and then at Ya’s reaction.
“Xun.” Little Treasure Hunting Ghost sighed.
Big Brother Ya was never picky and ate everything, but it wasn’t like that. It only wanted milk right now…
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost looked up at its Yu Beast Master’s expectant expression, then lowered its head and sniffed. After a moment of hesitation, it stuck out its tongue and licked it.
“Xun!”
