Chapter 170: I’m here to issue a mission

Late at night, the world was silent.

After washing up, Qiao Sang leaned on the bed with her hair half-wet, checking the yu beast codex, her gaze lingering on a few lines.

[Name: Yan Ling Dog]

[Level: Intermediate (1255 / 10000) +]

[Point: 1656]

Ya! Bao had been fighting Water Luyana every day during this period, gaining 50 Points daily. Today, he defeated two Ghost-type Pets, earning a total of 470 Points.

It seems that the Points gained from defeating a High-level Pet of a higher rank are around 200.

“Wait, wasn’t the level value only 1205 yesterday?”

Qiao Sang stared at the level column, momentarily stunned. The last time the level value surged was when Ya! Bao defeated the Control Scale Puppet.

That time, after a fierce battle, he also gained the Raging Flames characteristic, and the value directly increased by 30.

Although he faced two High-level Pets this time, the intensity of the battle was far less than when he fought the Control Scale Puppet. The best proof was that Ya! Bao was almost unharmed.

But why did the level value also increase by 50?

Could it be due to the breakthrough in mental power?

Qiao Sang pondered for a while, then turned to the next page.

[Name: Treasure Hunting Ghost]

[Level: Beginner (329 / 1000) +]

[Point: 20]

This… Qiao Sang was a bit bewildered.

Although the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s level value didn’t increase as much as Ya! Bao’s, it still increased by an additional 10 Points compared to usual daily gains.

That shouldn’t be. If Ya! Bao’s increase was due to a breakthrough in mental power, then what about the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost?

Qiao Sang replayed the events of the entire day in her mind, silently analyzing.

The scene paused on the afternoon when she fed Energy Pills to Ya! Bao and the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

That’s right, Energy Pills!

Qiao Sang suddenly realized.

Pets consuming Energy Pills is a method to improve various aspects of themselves. Correspondingly, the phenomenon of increased level values makes sense.

It seems that the majority of Ya! Bao’s additional value was indeed due to the breakthrough in mental power.

“I didn’t expect that the value gained from eating an Energy Pill would be higher than the total value gained from wearing an item every day. Yu Beast Masters really do need money after all…”

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but sigh. Currently, she only bought E-grade items for her Pets.

If she had enough money to buy S-grade items for Ya! Bao and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, wouldn’t they soar immediately with their aptitude?

As Qiao Sang’s consciousness exited the yu beast codex, she noticed a small puddle of water on the floor.

The puddle of water slowly flowed towards where Ya! Bao was lying.

Just as it was about to reach Ya! Bao, Qiao Sang spoke, “Um, I remember Ya! Bao didn’t attack you today, did he, Water Luyana?”

The puddle of water stiffened, instantly stopping its flow, and then silently flowed towards the door as if nothing had happened.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Wait.” Qiao Sang called out to it.

Water Luyana, in its water form, actually stopped for some reason.

“Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, milk.” Qiao Sang turned to look at the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

“Xun~”

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, who was practicing telekinesis with a coin in the room, lowered its glowing blue short paw and shrugged its paws.

It wasn’t hungry yet.

Qiao Sang’s eye twitched, and she said, “I wasn’t telling you to take it out and drink it yourself.”

“Xun…”

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost blinked, took off its ring, pulled out a bottle of milk from inside, floated over, and handed it to Qiao Sang.

“I went out yesterday and forgot to leave milk for you. Are you hungry?” Qiao Sang got out of bed and placed the milk in front of Water Luyana.

Water Luyana, in its water form, froze for a few seconds, didn’t take the milk, and turned to flow towards the door crack.

“Tsk, I didn’t expect it to be a tsundere.”

Qiao Sang sighed after the water flowed out.

She had been putting milk in the pool every day during this period. Initially, the milk was untouched, but in the following days, she found traces of the bottle cap being opened when she returned from school.

Although the amount of milk inside hadn’t decreased, the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost later drank some and discovered it had been mixed with water.

…

The next day.

In the living room.

Qiao Sang and Ya! Bao looked at each other. After a moment, both human and Pet looked at each other with serious expressions and nodded.

Then, another Yan Ling Dog, identical to Ya! Bao, appeared beside him.

The next second, Ya! Bao and his clone walked towards the courtyard.

Qiao Sang followed behind, filled with anticipation and excitement. Although Ya! Bao’s clone and main body could simultaneously release different skills in the secret room yesterday,

what if it was just an accident?

After all, some things can only be done under stimulating circumstances, and might not be possible during normal times.

Just like in her previous life, a female classmate at her school had never passed the running test. To help her pass the physical education exam, her father directly released a wolf dog behind her while training her to run.

The female classmate instantly became possessed by Liu Xiang, surpassing her own limits and achieving an astonishingly good result. She immediately declared that she would become a female Liu Xiang, participate in the Olympics to bring glory to her country, and even posted it on her Moments to announce it to everyone.

As a result, on the day of the school’s physical education exam, without the wolf dog behind her, she still failed. After running, she immediately set her Moments to be visible for three days only.

In the courtyard.

The two Yan Ling Dogs had serious expressions and struck the same pose.

Then, the Yan Ling Dog on the left slightly opened its mouth, revealing sharp, white fangs, while the Yan Ling Dog on the right’s eyes glowed blue as it glanced to the side, finally fixing its gaze on the milk the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was holding.

The next second, the sharp fangs of the left Yan Ling Dog were instantly enveloped in scorching flames.

At the same time, the milk held by the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost suddenly flew up and moved continuously around the courtyard.

“Success!”

Qiao Sang was overjoyed. Although she had a premonition that Ya! Bao would succeed, seeing it with her own eyes felt very different.

“Ya! Bao! You…” Qiao Sang looked at Ya! Bao excitedly, only to find Ya! Bao looking back at her with equal excitement.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Wait…” Before Qiao Sang could finish her sentence, she was suddenly pounced on by the excited Ya! Bao and knocked to the ground.

The premonition came true…

“Ya!”

“Ya! Ya!”

Ya! Bao wagged his tail happily, licking his Yu Beast Master’s face, completely unaware that his Yu Beast Master was being pressed down and couldn’t breathe.

On the other side, the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost used telekinesis to catch the out-of-control milk in time, looked down, saw that the milk hadn’t decreased, and then leisurely continued drinking it.

In the pool, Water Luyana watched everything unfold with half-closed eyes.

…

2:12 PM.

Yu Beast Center.

Third Floor, Task Hall.

Qiao Sang had just finished registering and was about to find a seat when she saw a familiar face.

A buzz cut, thick eyebrows and large eyes, and wheat-colored skin—it was none other than Shi Gaofeng from the second-year School Team.

“What a coincidence, have you finished your task too?” Qiao Sang walked over and greeted him.

Unexpectedly, Shi Gaofeng was startled and immediately took a step back, looking around nervously.

Seeing that there was no one else nearby, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “What a coincidence, why are you here? Haven’t you already handed in all the tasks?”

Qiao Sang saw his strange behavior but didn’t expose him, replying, “I’m here to collect my reward. The task publisher left the reward at the Yu Beast Center. What about you?”

Shi Gaofeng hesitated for a moment, then said, “I’m here to publish a task.”
