Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 270: Roll the dead tooth treasure! (Ask for monthly ticket)
Under the pouring rain, a Pet appeared in the courtyard. Its body was mostly light blue, shaped like a fox, with a sky-blue diamond-shaped jade embedded in the center of its forehead. Its snowflake-shaped ears, the fur on its tail fin and neck, and its four limbs were transparent white, and its eyes were deep and dark. Its entire being exuded a cold and aloof aura.
Ice Dew Qiya…
Qiao Sang muttered the unfamiliar species name in her heart, suddenly realizing that she hadn’t named the Water, Ice Dew Qiya yet.
“Ya…” Ya Baowas not sure when he had followed along, but he looked at his unfamiliar companion with a shocked expression.
His fur hadn’t been shaved yet…
Sensing Ya Bao’s presence, Ice Dew Qiya flicked her tail and walked over with an aloof stride. She did not stop but proudly walked past Ya Bao.
“Ice Dew Qiya!” Qiao Sang called out.
“Lu.” Ice Dew Qiya turned her head.
“How about I call you Lu Bao from now on?” Qiao Sang asked.
Ice Dew Qiya stared at Qiao Sang for a moment, then flicked her tail and turned to walk inside.
Just as Qiao Sang thought Ice Dew Qiya disagreed, she let out an aloof cry.
“Lu.”
Qiao Sang smiled.
Although her personality had changed quite a bit, it seemed that her tsundere nature still remained.
“Ya Ya?”
At this moment, Ya Bao looked up at Qiao Sang with wet eyes.
Since this guy had already evolved, did that mean his fur didn’t need to be shaved anymore?
Qiao Sang rubbed Ya Bao’s head and said with a smile, “Of course. Congratulations, your fur is safe.”
“Ya!”
Qiao Sang turned back to the living room and sat on the sofa, her face beaming with joy as she asked Yang Du, “Why did Water Luyana suddenly evolve?”
Yang Du was stunned for a moment. “How would I know? I haven’t even asked you yet. I was startled when she evolved; there were no signs at all.”
“How could there be no signs?” Qiao Sang explained, “Water Luyana needs to be heartbroken and then evolve by relying on the emotional power generated within her. Something must have happened at that time to make her heartbroken.”
Yang Du was a bit dumbfounded. “How can there be such a perverted evolution method?”
“Tell me about it,” Qiao Sang echoed.
Yang Du recounted what had just happened in the courtyard, saying, “That’s all we talked about, and then she evolved.”
Qiao Sang was a single person from birth and couldn’t understand Lu Bao’s psychological state at the time.
After thinking for a long time and still not understanding why she would be heartbroken, Qiao Sang stopped thinking about it. In short, being heartbroken was enough!
On the other side.
Lu Bao stood in front of a full-length mirror, looking at her brand-new appearance. After admiring herself for a while, she revealed a satisfied smile.
However, if the camera didn’t zoom in closely, no one would notice this smile.
“Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao watched repeatedly with interest from the side.
“Lu Lu?”
Suddenly, Lu Bao called out.
Is Ya Bao more beautiful or is she more beautiful?
Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and then pointed to himself with his paw.
“Xun?”
Asking me?
“Lu.”
Lu Bao nodded.
Xiao Xunbao looked left and right again, and seeing that Ya Bao was not there, he answered decisively.
“Xun!”
Of course it’s you!
“Lu.”
Lu Bao showed a satisfied smile.
This time, the smile was a bit wider.
Qiao Sang and Yang Du were still chatting.
“Is this task considered complete?” Yang Du asked.
Qiao Sang nodded and said, “Of course.”
Yang Du’s eyes lit up with wild joy, and he eagerly asked, “Do you have anything else to do tonight?”
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “I still have three assignments to do.”
Although she didn’t go to school today, the assignments she needed to do were still notified by the homeroom teacher in the afternoon.
Yang Du’s surging excitement immediately subsided a little.
Qiao Sang continued, “However, our school is holding a sports meeting tomorrow and the day after, so it’s fine if I don’t finish the assignments today. If you’re in a hurry to go to the hospital, I can accompany you now.”
Yang Du looked at Qiao Sang and said earnestly, “Thank you!”
Qiao Sang waved her hand and said, “This is your reward for doing the task, there’s nothing to thank me for.”
To get a chance to cure an incurable disease just by making it rain—no one would think this was deserved… Yang Du felt a bit conflicted inside, but he didn’t say too many sentimental words.
Without much preparation, Qiao Sang put on her shoes and sat on a large Flying-type Pet summoned by Yang Du, then set off for the hospital.
After flying for about five minutes, Yang Du suddenly asked, “Oh, by the way, why did you post this task?”
Logically, those who accept tasks should have a sense of boundaries and generally wouldn’t ask such questions casually. However, Yang Du’s question at this moment clearly blurred the boundaries, making one feel much closer.
“I just forgot to mention it,” Qiao Sang replied. “Water Luyana wants to evolve. Besides being heartbroken, it also needs to be raining when she’s heartbroken.”
“It can’t rain every day, so I thought I’d find a Pet that can use Rain Prayer to follow her 24 hours a day.”
Yang Du’s body suddenly stiffened and he fell silent.
Qiao Sang noticed his discomfort and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Yang Du chuckled awkwardly, “Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that I left the Deep Sea Swamp Monster at your house.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
He could forget that? What a talent…
Yang Du waved his hand, and at the same time, the Deep Sea Swamp Monster, which was still silently casting Rain Prayer in the courtyard, disappeared from its original spot.
…
Hanggang Brain Hospital.
At this time, most doctors had already left work, and those coming and going were mostly doctors from the emergency department or inpatient department, as well as patients and their families.
Yang Du was clearly familiar with the routes here, walking purposefully towards the intensive care unit of the Neurology Inpatient Department on the sixth floor of the East Building.
Pushing open the door.
“Lili.”
A Pet with a pink and milky white body and wavy ears on both sides of its head sat on a stool. Upon seeing them, it stood up, nodded, and let out a soft cry, as if greeting them.
Qiao Sang was not unfamiliar with this Pet. It was a Talik, often seen in hospital dramas.
Because of its exceptionally keen hearing, it can collect surrounding information like a radar through subtle sounds. Its antennae on its ears can touch others and discern their condition and mood from their heartbeats. Coupled with its gentle nature, it has always been deeply loved by many patients’ families.
Family members who don’t have time to care for their loved ones usually try to find a Talik at the task center to act as a caregiver.
However, even so, Talik are rarely seen in real hospitals.
The fundamental reason is that the nursing fees are too expensive… they can’t afford it.
“It’s her, please!” Yang Du came to the bedside, his expression solemn.
Qiao Sang stepped forward and saw the woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed and a pale face. Even without makeup, it was not difficult to see that she was beautiful.
If she hadn’t known beforehand that her brain had suffered severe damage, just from her appearance, apart from feeling a bit pale, it would be difficult to tell that she had suffered a brain injury.
Qiao Sang didn’t look closely anymore, she formed hand seals and summoned Ice Dew Qiya.
“Lu Bao, use Healing Light on her.” Qiao Sang held Ice Dew Qiya, facing the woman on the bed.
Yang Du stood by, his hands tightly clenched in nervousness.
Ice Dew Qiya did not heal immediately, but looked around, then wagged her tail, turned to Qiao Sang, and asked a soul-searching question.
“Lu Lu?”
Is Ya Bao more powerful or is she more powerful?
Qiao Sang: “…”
Qiao Sang only paused for a moment, then said without changing her expression, “Of course you are more powerful.”
“Lu.”
Ice Dew Qiya turned her head back with satisfaction.
The next second, the sky-blue diamond-shaped jade on her forehead emitted a dazzling blue light.
As the blue light dissipated, the woman on the hospital bed slowly opened her eyes.
…
That night, Qiao Sang finished washing up and lay in bed, checking the yu beast codex.

【Points: 0】
Three more skills.
Icy Wind, Fine Snow, Ice Claw… Qiao Sang secretly calculated in her heart as she looked at the three new skills.
These three skills are all Ice skills. Although they are not as abnormal as the skills Ya Bao gained during his evolution, they are still good for an Intermediate Pet. At least they can attack from both long and close range, and the attack forms are not singular…
At the same time.
In the courtyard.
“Lulu!”
Ice Dew Qiya gritted her teeth, condensing the energy that was almost overdrawn from practice.
Normally, at this hour, she would mostly be resting in the pond, but today, she was still training diligently.
For no other reason than to absolutely crush Ya Bao!
…
The next day.
September 29th, clear sky.
Saint Water Middle School’s sports meeting was held on this day.
Qiao Sang, with Xiao Xunbao on her head, rode on Ya Bao, full of fighting spirit, and set off for school.
Along the way, Qiao Sang kept saying encouraging words.
“Xiao Xunbao, what have we been preparing for all this time? We’ve been waiting for this day to come! Now we’ve finally waited!”
“Xun!”
“Do you have confidence?!”
“Xun!”
“Tell me! What is our goal?!”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
“That’s right! It’s the Golden Hand, bah! It’s first place!”
“Xun!”
Class 1, Grade 1.
Even though it wasn’t class time, all the classmates had arrived early.
Everyone was discussing the sports meeting events.
Qiao Sang sat in her seat, giving Xiao Xunbao a full body massage.
Xiao Xunbao kept moving his claws, his eyes firm.
Jin Feifan watched from the side for a long time, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Qiao Sang, what are you doing?”
“I’m helping Xiao Xunbao warm up. Aren’t we going to have a competition soon?” Qiao Sang didn’t stop her movements.
Jin Feifan was stunned for a moment. “Are you talking about Chop with bare hands?”
Qiao Sang nodded and said, “Yes.”
Jin Feifan was silent for a moment. “You weren’t here yesterday, so you might not know, but Chop with bare hands is tomorrow.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
