Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 160: It’s unfair.
“This town is shrouded in mist all year round. Its residents have been mysteriously disappearing one after another, and an indescribable stench permeates the streets and alleys. Those who stray into it, along with their Pets, will lose their way and be trapped for life.”
“However, even so, many people still come here, because it is said that as long as one comprehends the mysteries of the town and then walks out of it, they will gain the attention of the legendary Pet Mihei Ramu, receive its favor, and thus obtain a wish.”
Qiao Sang looked at the introduction to the Lost Town secret room in her hand and couldn’t help but say, “Isn’t this just imitating Xi Han City, one of the ten ghost cities?”
She hadn’t looked closely when she first chose the secret room.
Fang Sisi picked up the nearby cola and took a sip, saying indifferently, “Entertainment comes from life, as long as it’s fun, that’s what matters. Look at Yan Ling Dog, it seems to be too scared to move.”
“It seems my Cotton Section Worm is doing pretty well, it even has the guts to run.”
Qiao Sang glanced at her and teased, “Don’t tell me this NPC will just run away before even saying its lines after opening the door.”
Fang Sisi said admiringly, “As expected of someone who got into Saint Water Middle School, so smart.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
Just then, a suppressed male voice came from behind: “Is Yan Ling Dog all show and no go? Why is it so timid? It’s far worse than Burning Fire Dog. It hasn’t moved for ages, could it be that it’s too scared to continue playing?”
Although the voice was lowered, the observation room was not large, enough for others to hear clearly.
The man also realized this and awkwardly picked up the drink next to him and took a sip.
Fang Sisi turned her head and gave the man a glare, then nudged Qiao Sang with her elbow and said, “He said that, and you didn’t react at all.”
Qiao Sang ran her hand through her hair, her finger touching the invisible Treasure Hunting Ghost, and said, “What reaction do I need? Didn’t you just say that Yan Ling Dog was less courageous than your Cotton Section Worm?”
Fang Sisi’s face flushed, and she became anxious: “How can that be the same? I was joking, he was clearly mocking…”
“Ah! Something! Something!”
Before he could finish speaking, the man who had just spoken suddenly shrieked, and with a “clatter, clatter” sound, he hurriedly stood up, apparently bumping into the table where things were placed.
“What’s wrong? What happened?” Everyone in the room was startled by him.
The man had already run to the side, his back pressed tightly against the wall, his face still pale with fright: “Something just touched my face!”
Qiao Sang felt the two strands of hair being grabbed again and turned her head to look, then calmly turned back to continue watching the screen.
The invisible Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, with its功 and 名 hidden deep, leisurely changed to a more comfortable position.
……
“Why isn’t it moving yet?”
“Some Pets aren’t very intelligent, could Yan Ling Dog be one of them? Should we have number 3 appear in front of it ourselves?”
“But the first stage of the plot hasn’t even passed, and the room’s layout hasn’t been displayed yet. Its Yu Beast Master is watching in the observation room, won’t she feel the process is too sloppy and that the money wasn’t worth it?”
“Then how about we let Black Mud go out and scare it, so it hides in that room?”
“I think that works.”
“Black Mud, Black Mud.”
Yabao’s large ears twitched.
It looked up at the door not far in front of it, which had just been pushed open by number 2.
According to the sound it heard, it should now go into this room to explore, then have a big fight with number 3 hiding inside, and then proceed to the second stage.
So troublesome…
Yabao looked up at the mist at a 45-degree angle, wondering why they couldn’t just come out and fight directly.
As it gazed, it suddenly felt the mist was a bit of an eyesore.
“Ya.”
Yabao maintained its upward gaze and activated the energy within its body, which quickly gathered into a fiery red Energy Ball.
“Holy cow!” In the observation room, Qiao Sang sprang to her feet, no longer able to remain calm.
“What’s wrong? Did you get your face touched too?!” Fang Sisi was scared and looked around.
“I told you there was something, and you didn’t believe me!” the man shouted, his tone full of grievance.
The people around looked at each other, and the timid ones picked up their phones and left, leaving only a few Yu Beast Masters who were worried about their Pets still inside.
Qiao Sang ignored the commotion beside her.
She looked at the screen, then sat back down as if her soul had left her body, muttering, “I remember it’s allowed to use skills in the secret room, right?”
Fang Sisi was stunned, looked at Qiao Sang, then followed her gaze to the screen, and breathed a sigh of relief: “I thought something serious happened, it’s fine to just use a skill. You can even fight in the secret room. Don’t let the screen make you think this secret room layout is huge; in reality, only a few scenes are real, the others are just illusions created by finding a Pet that can mirror to copy the surrounding scenes.”
“Even if you destroy the real scenes, it doesn’t matter, it’s allowed. Have you ever seen a Pet play a secret room without destroying something?”
“Yesterday, a Flat-billed Fire Duck came and even…”
Her voice abruptly stopped. Fang Sisi couldn’t continue.
She stood with her mouth agape, staring dumbfounded at the screen in front of her, as dozens of blood-red flames descended from the sky like scattered fireworks.
Everyone still in the observation room gasped.
The man, who had always been very present, swallowed hard. On the other side, a girl, still in shock, didn’t forget to pull out her phone and start recording.
On the screen, the purple mist had already been completely washed away, and dazzling, scorching flames continuously fell, incinerating the entire scene.
The illusion dissipated, and the endless town street instantly transformed into a room with brick walls.
Without the purple mist’s concealment, the entire room was completely exposed, tall and spacious enough.
The two rows of dilapidated houses around them successively disappeared, leaving only two twisting in the fierce flames.
Fang Sisi looked at the scene appearing on the screen in disbelief.
Oh my god!
This, this is Mars Rain!
High-level skill Mars Rain!
Her emotions couldn’t calm down for a long time. Is Qiao Sang a freak?! Not only has her Fire Fang Dog evolved into a completely new form before high school even started, but she also taught it Mars Rain!
You have to know, that’s Mars Rain! Mars Rain, which even High-level Pets might not learn!
Qiao Sang looked at the scene Yabao had created on the screen and suddenly felt something was wrong.
“How tall do you think this secret room is?” Qiao Sang asked after a long silence.
She had been startled by Yabao releasing Mars Rain not because she was afraid it would destroy things in the secret room.
Releasing skills was allowed in the secret room, and to allow Pets to perform skills well, the props or backstage of the secret room would be prepared accordingly.
What she was afraid of was Yabao using Mars Rain to blow off the roof of the secret room…
One must know that the Energy Ball of Mars Rain needs to rise at least ten meters high. Although the current secret room was tall enough, it didn’t seem to meet the height requirement for releasing the Energy Ball.
Fang Sisi didn’t answer; she was still immersed in the shock of Yan Ling Dog releasing Mars Rain.
……
“Quickly turn on the sprinkler system and have number 5 come over to put out the fire!” shouted a Staff member wearing a hat in the backstage monitoring room.
“But then wouldn’t the players immediately see that it’s all fake? They won’t have the immersive experience. How about we guide it to the next room to clear the second stage first, and then we put out the fire?” suggested a younger-looking Staff member next to him.
“Are you an idiot! The mist is gone! The illusion is gone! The secret room’s appearance is exposed! What kind of immersive experience can it possibly have?!” the Staff member with the hat roared.
“But…” The young Staff member wanted to say something more, but then looked at the monitoring screen and exclaimed in surprise: “The mist, why is the mist out again?”
The Staff member with the hat’s anger flared, and he cursed into the walkie-talkie: “Damn it! Who was in charge of props today! Why are you still making mist at a time like this!”
The walkie-talkie made a “zzzz” screeching sound, and after a while, someone inside replied: “It’s a misunderstanding, I made the mist at the beginning and then went to the restroom, I didn’t make it a second time at all.”
