Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 195: Is there such a thing? !
The next day, Qiao Sang woke up and instinctively reached for her phone to check the time.
Instead, she touched Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s paw.
Qiao Sang’s spirits lifted, and she sat up immediately.
“You’re actually not asleep this morning?!”
For several days in a row, she had woken up to find Little Treasure Hunting Ghost asleep, so seeing it awake today came as a complete surprise to Qiao Sang.
The books said that some Pets tend to be sleepier during certain developmental stages and will return to normal after development is complete.
Could Little Treasure Hunting Ghost be like that?
Thinking about it, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s height did seem a bit taller than before…
“Qun~”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost pretended not to understand its Yu Beast Master’s words, blinking innocently.
What Qiao Sang didn’t know was that before going to bed last night, she had set a 3-hour time limit on the virtual helmet, fearing Little Treasure Hunting Ghost would forget the time while studying. This caused Little Treasure Hunting Ghost to be forcibly logged out midway, which was why it was still energetic early in the morning.
…
What can one million Point do in Yu Beast society?
It could buy ten Fire Fang Dogs, or one Bubble Bell, or even a horn from a Little Horned Dragon.
In short, if you’re only buying and not raising, there are quite a few choices.
Besides Pets, daily life could also be greatly improved.
Qiao Sang, having suddenly become rich again, naturally had to treat herself well.
Early in the morning, she decided not to eat the buy-one-get-one-free bread from the supermarket anymore. Instead, she went to the most expensive breakfast shop nearby and, with great extravagance, ordered all the popular items on the menu.
It cost a total of 567 Point.
Of that, Ya Bao and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost ate 552 Point, and she ate 15 Point.
Qiao Sang ate her 10 Point glutinous rice and drank her 5 Point soy milk, feeling that even with a million Point fortune, her life hadn’t improved much.
Where exactly was the problem…?
“Ya!”
Just as Qiao Sang was deep in thought, Ya Bao pushed its empty bowl forward with its paw, indicating it wanted another bowl.
“Boss, another bowl of Fire Mushroom Rice!”
“Coming right up!”
The boss soon came over with a bowl of Fire Mushroom Rice.
“Hello, 66 Point.”
Qiao Sang silently took out the money. So that’s where the problem was…
…
Upon arriving at school, Qiao Sang unexpectedly saw Jin Feifan at the entrance of the training ground.
“Why are you here?” Qiao Sang walked up and asked.
The second-year School Team and first-year School Team have different training grounds and training times. Normally, at this time, the first-year School Team members should just be waking up.
Jin Feifan’s eyes lit up when he saw Qiao Sang. He fidgeted a bit and said awkwardly, “I was waiting for you.”
Qiao Sang was a little surprised.
Jin Feifan was the type of person with genuine social anxiety; he didn’t even like to interact with people online, let alone in real life. She hadn’t expected him to come looking for her directly.
“Is something wrong?” Qiao Sang asked curiously.
“School starts in five days, and I’m a bit nervous, so I wanted to talk to you,” Jin Feifan said, hesitating.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Why didn’t you talk to me on your phone?”
“My phone is broken; I haven’t taken it to be repaired yet,” Jin Feifan said shyly.
No wonder, she thought, how could someone with social anxiety not use their phone and directly seek people out in real life… Qiao Sang comforted him, “It’s okay, don’t be nervous. Just chat casually with your classmates when the time comes; you’ll get to know them quickly. If that doesn’t work, summon Little Qiu Pu; that will definitely help build rapport.”
In Yu Beast society, talking about Pets is the quickest way to build relationships.
Jin Feifan froze for a long time after hearing this, then his face turned crimson, and his voice rose slightly: “I’m not nervous about that!”
Qiao Sang was confused: “Then what are you nervous about?”
“Haven’t you checked the group messages?” Jin Feifan explained, “On the day school starts, the School Team members will have a strength demonstration segment. All new students can initiate challenges, and if we lose, we might become substitutes or even be kicked out of the School Team directly.”
“There’s such a thing?!” Qiao Sang got excited.
“Ya!” Ya Bao also got excited.
“Why do I feel like you two are very happy…?” Jin Feifan said hesitantly.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao nodded vigorously.
Showing off one’s strength is, of course, a happy thing.
“No way.” Qiao Sang, however, awkwardly held down Ya Bao’s nodding motion.
Seeing Jin Feifan looking at her with a strange expression, she paused, then changed her tone and said in a deep voice, “I can’t believe such a thing exists!”
Jin Feifan: “…”
“Are there any restrictions?” Qiao Sang then asked, “For example, if we win one match, can other people continue to challenge us?”
Jin Feifan nodded, his mood low: “There are no restrictions in that regard. The group chat already said that if you win, your Pet’s condition will be restored immediately by the School Doctor, and then you’ll continue to wait for others to challenge you.”
“The school will decide whether to let you stay on the School Team based on your performance in battles and the number of times you win.”
This is too good! Doesn’t that mean as long as she doesn’t lose, she can keep battling, and most importantly, her Point can keep increasing… Qiao Sang was overjoyed internally, but considering Jin Feifan’s feelings, she didn’t show it on her face. Instead, she sighed and said, “This is too difficult for us.”
“Indeed,” Jin Feifan sighed.
After the two talked about this topic for nearly ten minutes, Jin Feifan hesitated for a long time and finally revealed her ultimate goal.
“I can’t leave the school. Can you help me take my phone out to get it repaired?”
“Sure!” Qiao Sang, in a much better mood, readily agreed.
…
After Jin Feifan left, Qiao Sang hummed a tune, a smile on her face, and walked into the training ground.
Wang Yao turned her head and saw Qiao Sang walking with a spring in her step and Ya Bao wagging its tail. She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What’s going on? You seem so happy?”
“Nothing much. Last night, when I went out to buy something, I helped someone find a lost Pet. During the process, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost learned a skill, that’s all.” Qiao Sang smiled and scratched her head.
“Qun~”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost appeared from its Yu Beast Master’s head and nodded.
“What skill?” Wang Yao asked.
“Just Dark Shadow Control,” Qiao Sang answered honestly.
In Qiao Sang’s opinion, there was nothing to hide about a Pet’s strength. It was just that she usually didn’t have the opportunity to show it, nor did anyone ask her.
When a Pet evolves, learns new skills, or grows in some aspect, it’s something to be happy about, and almost no one would hide it.
Most Yu Beast Masters would even want to post on their social media to show off if their Pet’s proficiency in a certain skill increased by one level.
Some would even host a dinner party specifically because their Pet improved. These things are common.
Qiao Sang was already quite low-key; otherwise, she’d have to post on her social media every other day.
“Dark Shadow Control?” Wang Yao froze for a moment, then burst into laughter: “Hahaha, Qiao Sang, I didn’t know you were so humorous.”
“You don’t believe me?” Qiao Sang looked at her.
Wang Yao said speechlessly, “Nonsense, only a fool would believe that. Dark Shadow Control, that’s Dark Shadow Control! Although I don’t have a Ghost-type Pet, I know it’s a high-level skill. Have you ever seen a low-level Pet learn a high-level skill?”
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “I guess only Ya Bao and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.”
Wang Yao: “…”
