Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 244: Make a contract, now
“Ya!”
Magnificent fur, an imposing aura, and a heart-trembling cry.
The Pet that appeared from the star array gave off a strong Pressure.
Ge Zi Nan gasped, almost screaming in fright.
Holy crap!
Who can tell him why the Pet this kid summoned is a Yan Ling Dog!
Didn’t the internet say there’s currently only one?!
Most importantly.
Why is the star array green?!
Is this really a star array that a high school student, still carrying his backpack, should have?!
Sweat broke out on Ge Zi Nan’s back. Before he could recover from the shock, the Yan Ling Dog in front of him had already opened its mouth and shot out rotating flames.
“Naonian Monster! Save me!” Ge Zi Nan, terrified, quickly covered his head, squatted on the ground, and shouted loudly.
“Naonian!”
The Naonian Monster was clearly not good at fighting. Faced with the sudden situation, it didn’t react immediately, but instead let out a frightened cry from the side.
Just as the flames were about to hit Ge Zi Nan, Qiao Sang timely shouted, “Telekinesis!”
The flames were halted in mid-air by a force when they were only 0.1 centimeters away from Ge Zi Nan, then sharply reversed direction and struck the Naonian Monster not far away.
The scorching flames accurately hit the unprepared Naonian Monster.
“Bang!”
The Naonian Monster’s body was sent flying directly backward, crashing heavily into the wall behind it.
“Naonian!!”
A painful wail echoed through the room.
Ge Zi Nan’s face turned pale upon hearing the sound. He tremblingly lowered his hands and turned to look, only to find the Naonian Monster lying on the ground with its eyes closed.
It’s over. Ge Zi Nan’s eyes were dull, and he slumped to the ground.
Qiao Sang wiped the sweat from her forehead. Although the process was a bit different from what she had imagined, at least the Naonian Monster was defeated without much damage.
Speaking of which, she really hadn’t expected this Ge Zi Nan to be so weak.
Looking at his villainous appearance at the beginning, she thought he was some formidable character, but it turned out to be just this?
She even overthought it beforehand.
She originally thought that although the Naonian Monster was only Beginner, it was still a Superpower System Pet, so it should possess skills like instantaneous movement.
Now, inside the room, the task giver was still next to Ge Zi Nan. If she directly attacked the Naonian Monster, it might cause great destruction inside the room, and Ge Zi Nan might even coerce the task giver to force her to comply.
So she thought of letting Ya Bao pretend to attack Ge Zi Nan first. At that time, either the Naonian Monster would block the attack, or Ge Zi Nan would be forced to move away from the task giver due to the flames.
She didn’t expect this final situation.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao turned to look at her Yu Beast Master, whose expression seemed off, and cried out worriedly.
“I’m fine.” Qiao Sang smiled.
Fortunately, she broke free from the Hypnosis at the crucial moment, otherwise the consequences—
Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and froze in place.
Her attention had just been focused on the unknown Ge Zi Nan, but now recalling it, she remembered that the star array she had just summoned Ya Bao from seemed to be green…
She… broke through?!
Without the Naonian Monster’s control, the man nimbly got up, grabbed Ge Zi Nan by the collar, and punched him in the jaw.
Ge Zi Nan fell to the ground.
This punch also made Ge Zi Nan’s eyes refocus. He looked at the man unwillingly and sneered, “Consider me unlucky. You can call the police. When I get out, I’ll come find you again.”
“You bastard!” The man punched him again, saying indignantly, “You still dare to threaten me like this!”
Qiao Sang came back to her senses when she heard the commotion and stepped forward to ask, “Is he the one who’s been following you?”
Ge Zi Nan had looked defiant while being beaten, but when he saw Qiao Sang approaching, his pupils contracted, and he silently swallowed the saliva he was about to spit out.
Yan Ling Dog.
D-level Beastmaster with a backpack.
Can’t afford to provoke him…
The man still didn’t know he had narrowly avoided a spit attack. He turned to Qiao Sang, his expression softening, and said, “It’s him. This guy has been following me recently. He confessed everything when you fainted just now.”
“Why was he following you?” Qiao Sang asked curiously.
“I don’t know that yet. This guy hasn’t said.” The man finished speaking, grabbed Ge Zi Nan by the collar, and fiercely said, “Speak! Why are you following me!”
Ge Zi Nan snorted coldly, turned his head disdainfully, and then happened to meet Qiao Sang’s gaze.
His heart trembled. He had wanted to be tough for a bit longer, but then he saw the Yan Ling Dog also staring at him from the side.
In an instant, Ge Zi Nan’s little heart beat several times faster.
He took a deep breath, turned, and slapped the man’s hand away, roaring, “Don’t you know what you’ve done yourself?!”
The man frowned and said, “What did I do? Explain yourself.”
“If it weren’t for you pestering Yu Xinyan and showing off your love online every day, how would she not have time to train.” Ge Zi Nan grew more agitated as he spoke, “It’s all because of you! You’ve made her focus entirely on dating now, and she’s not even participating in the Regional Competition assessment!”
The man paused, “You’re Xinyan’s fan?”
Ge Zi Nan scoffed, “Otherwise, whose would I be?”
The man: “…”
The man gritted his teeth and said, “It’s her business if she doesn’t participate in the Regional Competition qualification, it has nothing to do with me!”
“Pfft!” Ge Zi Nan spat angrily, “Scumbag!”
“Heh, if you don’t believe me, I’ll let you hear what she said directly.” The man picked up his phone, which had fallen to the ground, dialed a number, and turned on the speakerphone.
Ge Zi Nan held his breath.
Qiao Sang quietly leaned closer. She smelled gossip.
“Hello.” Soon, a clear voice came from the other end of the phone: “Why did you suddenly think of calling me? Are you going to film another video?”
“No.” The man got straight to the point, “I just wanted to ask, are you really not planning to participate in next year’s Regional Competition?”
“Hahahahaha, participate in what Regional Competition? You still don’t know me, with my level, I can’t even get the qualification to participate.” The other end of the phone chattered on:
“Before, it was to create a positive and upward persona, and it also provided content for videos and live streams. This year, I’ve changed the direction of my live stream content.”
Upon hearing this, Ge Zi Nan felt as if struck by lightning, completely unwilling to believe the truth. He muttered, “Impossible, this is absolutely impossible…”
“Who’s next to you?”
“Your crazy fan and career fan.”
“Huh?”
The man didn’t continue the conversation but hung up the phone.
He looked at the dejected Ge Zi Nan and said, “You heard it all clearly.”
Ge Zi Nan was still in a daze and did not respond.
The man continued, “Since you know what the situation is, I hope you reflect well and don’t come looking for me again after you get out of the Police Station.”
After speaking, he looked at Qiao Sang and showed a gentle smile: “Could I trouble you to come with me to the Police Station?”
Qiao Sang was startled: “Didn’t you say you weren’t going to call the police?”
The man said awkwardly, “I originally thought he was either a sasaeng fan or someone madly in love with me, and I wanted to advise him well, but it turns out he’s not. If you hadn’t woken up in time just now, who knows what this guy would have done.”
“Now that he’s caught, of course, he needs to be sent in and taught a good lesson.”
“I—” Qiao Sang was about to speak.
The man added, “Don’t worry! I will definitely give you a five-star rating!”
Even if I don’t go to the Police Station, you should still give me a five-star rating, Qiao Sang complained inwardly, while saying aloud, “Okay, where’s the restroom? I want to use it first.”
The man quickly pointed to the left and said, “Just keep going straight.”
Qiao Sang followed the direction pointed to the restroom, locked the door, and opened her backpack.
Looking at Water Luyana, who was blinking and staring at her, she suppressed her excitement and whispered:
“Contract, right now.”
