Chapter 24: Connected

Weighted training was Qiao Sang’s idea to improve Fire Fang Dog’s speed.

The improvement of speed is inseparable from explosive power and frequency.

If Fire Fang Dog could train its speed to the same level as usual while weighted, then when the weighted rings were removed, its speed would definitely improve by a considerable margin.

However, reasonable weighting is training; excessive weighting will put a burden on Fire Fang Dog’s body.

Qiao Sang remembered reading in a fitness magazine in her previous life that the most reasonable weight range to start with should be 8% to 20% of one’s body weight.

Fire Fang Dog’s weight was 19kg, but the weighted beads it chose were around 25kg.

Qiao Sang put down the weighted beads and was about to look at the weighted rings when a shop assistant walked over.

“Is there anything you’d like to buy? I can recommend something for you.”

Qiao Sang did not refuse: “I want to buy weighted equipment for Fire Fang Dog.”

The shop assistant smiled: “Then you’ll need a Gravity Necklace. The latest OM-8 model Gravity Necklace from Yongchuang Group can adjust its settings according to a Pet’s pressure tolerance. It can be used by Beginner Pets to High-level Pets, and your Fire Fang Dog can use it for at least 6 years.”

So high-tech?

Qiao Sang became interested and asked, “How much is it?”

The shop assistant heard this and felt there was a chance, replying, “350,000 alliance coins. If you apply for our store’s membership card, you can get a 5% discount.”

That could buy three Fire Fang Dogs…

Qiao Sang silently glanced at Fire Fang Dog.

Fire Fang Dog looked back at her blankly.

“Forget it, I’ll just buy Gravity Rings,” Qiao Sang refused.

The shop assistant maintained her enthusiastic attitude. She picked up a black Gravity Ring from the shelf and smiled, “If your Fire Fang Dog is just starting to use Gravity Rings, I recommend this 10kg Gravity Ring. Black also looks good on Fire Fang Dog.”

“Will it be too heavy?” Qiao Sang asked.

“How could it be? Fire Fang Dog can at least withstand half its body weight in Gravity while moving. If it’s a Fighting-type Pet, it’s fine for the Gravity to be dozens of times heavier than its own weight,” the shop assistant replied.

Qiao Sang understood.

This was the Yu Beast era; she shouldn’t use scientific basis from her previous life to explain things anymore.

Under the shop assistant’s promotion, Qiao Sang ultimately bought three Gravity Rings of 10kg, 15kg, and 20kg respectively, spending a total of 3500 alliance coins.

Qiao Sang took Fire Fang Dog to a lounge chair in the center of the mall and took out the 10kg Gravity Ring to put it on its right foreleg.

The size of this Gravity Ring is between 3cm and 15cm, with a buckle on the side that allows for size adjustment, and the force is distributed throughout the body, so there’s no need to worry about the Gravity being concentrated on the right foreleg.

“Do you feel alright?” Qiao Sang asked.

Fire Fang Dog stared blankly at the virtual screen above the center of the mall and did not answer her.

Qiao Sang followed Fire Fang Dog’s gaze.

When she and Fire Fang Dog first arrived, the virtual screen was showing advertisements, but now it was broadcasting the Beast Tamer Alliance’s grandest event.

The Global Interstellar Beast Tamer Alliance Cup.

Abbreviated as Interstellar Cup.

The Interstellar Cup is a competition that only top Yu Beast Masters selected from four planets can participate in, held every three years.

Just taking Blue Star alone, the global population is over 7 billion, plus the populations of the other three planets, it totals over 38 billion.

Selecting the top Yu Beast Masters from over 38 billion people to participate in the Interstellar Cup is not an overnight task.

First, one must win two national championships within at least one year, then gain national support to participate in the World Asia Beast Tamer Alliance Competition.

National contestants who rank among the top six in the World Asia Beast Tamer Alliance Competition must also participate in the selection for the Global World Beast Tamer Alliance Competition.

Finally, only the contestants who rank among the top six in the Global World Beast Tamer Alliance Competition can participate in the final Interstellar Cup.

The screen was broadcasting the Interstellar Cup.

In the screen, a refined-looking man in a white trench coat stood beside a Giant Toad about 60 meters tall.

The Giant Toad was entirely dark gray, with a deep and heavy color, staring solemnly ahead, wearing a custom-made pair of black sunglasses, giving it a cool yet mysterious feeling.

The audience seating, capable of holding 300,000 people, erupted in deafening cheers, all shouting Lin Ya and Giant Toad’s names.

The waves of sound surged one after another, echoing through the sky above the competition venue.

Qiao Sang watched the scene on the screen, her blood boiling, feeling that the passion of being a Yu Beast Master had been ignited!

As a Yu Beast Master, isn’t the greatest dream in this life to participate in the Interstellar Cup once!

Qiao Sang turned to look at Fire Fang Dog, who was still staring at the screen in a daze.

She knew that at this moment, she and Fire Fang Dog were of one mind!

Qiao Sang turned Fire Fang Dog’s face towards her and said solemnly, “Fire Fang Dog, believe me! One day, we will also stand up there!”

Fire Fang Dog: “???”

It listened to its Yu Beast Master’s words with a bewildered expression.

Up there?

What’s up there?

Being turned by its Yu Beast Master like that, Fire Fang Dog came back to its senses and tried to Point at the screen with its paw, but when it lifted its paw, something felt off, and it realized there was a newly bought item on its paw.

“Ya!”

Fire Fang Dog didn’t mind, it exerted a little force to lift its paw and Point at the screen, then barked excitedly.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“You mean you want to buy sunglasses?”

Fire Fang Dog nodded excitedly.

“You were looking at the sunglasses just now, not the competition?”

“Ya?”

Fire Fang Dog tilted its head.

What competition?

Qiao Sang: “…”

To hell with being of one mind!

…

…

Chagui Park.

“Ya!”

A scorching Spark shot out.

Fire Fang Dog, wearing black triangular sunglasses, was in high spirits, performing skill release training.

Qiao Sang watched from the side.

The triangular sunglasses seemed to be a strange switch; ever since Fire Fang Dog put them on, it had been in a state of high spirits.

It had already released Spark 21 times continuously, and its mental state was still exceptionally full.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but think, why does it feel like it’s on drugs…

Twenty minutes later, the effect wore off.

Fire Fang Dog collapsed on the ground, unable to get up.

Fortunately, there was still a lot of qi yuan milk left from the morning, and while Fire Fang Dog was drinking qi yuan milk, Qiao Sang’s consciousness entered the yu beast codex.

[Point 55]

Fire Fang Dog released Fire Fang 18 times and Spark 26 times this time!

Qiao Sang looked at Fire Fang Dog, her eyes flickering, and asked, “What other styles of sunglasses do you like?”

“Ya~”

Fire Fang Dog’s weak bark carried excitement.

Finally, at Fire Fang Dog’s choice, Qiao Sang ordered 6 different styles of sunglasses online.

One for each day of the week, never repeating.

At 3:32 PM, Fire Fang Dog recovered.

This time, Qiao Sang didn’t let it overexert itself, stopping it after Fire Fang Dog released Fire Fang 4 times and Spark 8 times.

The data for Fire Fang Dog in the yu beast codex also changed.

“Fire Fang Dog, next we will begin weighted training,” Qiao Sang said.
