Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 274: Failed, next one
Seeing Shi Gaofeng reminded Qiao Sang of their agreement to go to the Yu Beast Center.
Assessing a Yu Beast Master’s level is something almost every Yu Beast Master does.
Even if one’s future goal isn’t to be a Professional Beast Tamer, at the F-level, when they are still a rookie Yu Beast Master, as long as they meet the requirements to apply for an E-level Beastmaster, almost every Yu Beast Master can’t help but try the assessment.
It’s not that being assessed as an E-level Beastmaster is incredibly impressive, but rather that the preferential treatment given by the Alliance is simply too tempting.
The Yu Beast Master’s level is not determined by national policy but is unified by the Alliance, and it is recognized in various countries and even on other planets.
As long as a Yu Beast Master reaches E-level, they can enjoy a 10% discount on any paid service at any Yu Beast Center throughout the galaxy.
It’s important to know that Yu Beast Centers are spread across the galaxy, and any Yu Beast Master inevitably deals with them.
Pet medical care, examinations, Yu Beast Master brain region testing, material level testing, catering services, and accommodation services are all places where Yu Beast Masters frequently spend money at the Yu Beast Center.
This amount of money, calculated over a year, is a significant expense.
The money saved after the 10% discount could even be enough for a down payment on a house in a third-tier city.
“Are we going to the Yu Beast Center for the assessment now?” Qiao Sang immediately asked.
Shi Gaofeng approached, chuckling, “Smart, I’ve been waiting for you for ages. You don’t have anything else to do, do you?”
Qiao Sang shook her head and said, “No.”
Compared to the E-level Beastmaster qualification certificate, the upcoming competition events were no longer as appealing.
“Then let’s go now,” Shi Gaofeng said.
Qiao Sang naturally nodded and agreed.
During the sports meeting, the school was open, and students could enter and exit freely, which was the main reason Shi Gaofeng chose the sports meeting period to go for the Yu Beast Master assessment.
Qiao Sang sat on Tooth Treasure, while Shi Gaofeng used an electric skateboard for transportation.
Along the way, the two chatted idly.
“When did your Treasure Hunting Ghost evolve into a Treasure Hunting Fairy?” Shi Gaofeng asked.
His tone was a bit sour; Qiao Sang already had a Yan Ling Dog, and he hadn’t expected her Treasure Hunting Ghost to evolve into a Treasure Hunting Fairy so quickly, just one month after school started.
It was simply inhumane.
“It happened just last week,” Qiao Sang replied.
Although she went to the training grounds after school every day, she didn’t stay long, and Little Qunbao liked to be invisible, so Tooth Treasure was usually the one training.
After the last group chat, she had also gone offline, and later, after the mission ended, Shi Gaofeng and the others couldn’t bring their phones to school, so they naturally didn’t know about the Treasure Hunting Ghost evolving into a Treasure Hunting Fairy beforehand.
Shi Gaofeng glanced around and saw that there weren’t many people, so he looked at Qiao Sang and asked in a low voice, “Tell me honestly, did your Treasure Hunting Fairy absorb some strange energy?”
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Strange energy?”
Shi Gaofeng lowered his voice again: “Like life energy or something.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
“How could that be? That’s illegal,” Qiao Sang said, exasperated.
Shi Gaofeng pouted, somewhat unconvinced.
Ghost-type Pets generally rely on absorbing energy to evolve and grow quickly. If it hadn’t absorbed some energy that is prohibited by national regulations, how could it have evolved so quickly?
Furthermore, it was very strange for a Ghost-type Pet to learn Fighting-type skills.
However, he had once seen a news report online about a Ghost-type Pet that, after absorbing the life energy of a Sleeping Scorpion, had its daily sleep time increase from two hours to nine hours.
He thought it was highly possible that Qiao Sang’s Treasure Hunting Fairy had also learned Chop because it absorbed the life energy of a Fighting-type Pet and was affected by it.
Shi Gaofeng glanced at Qiao Sang, feeling that this guess shouldn’t be casually shared with others.
Little Qunbao, invisible, sat leisurely on her Yu Beast Master’s head, looking at the surrounding scenery, completely unaware that her reputation was almost ruined.
…
Yu Beast Center.
The area for Yu Beast Master level assessment registration was packed with people.
Nowadays, any Yu Beast Master who meets the registration requirements wants to try the assessment, and among them, the largest group is F-level Beastmasters applying for E-level Beastmasters.
But even so, Qiao Sang and Shi Gaofeng, wearing Saint Water Middle School uniforms, were particularly conspicuous.
After all, their age stood out, making them very noticeable among a group of mostly adults.
Especially Qiao Sang, for no particular reason other than Tooth Treasure accompanying her.
Although the popularity of Yan Ling Dog had decreased significantly, seeing a Yan Ling Dog in real life was still a first for everyone.
A male student, who looked about 18 years old, standing behind Qiao Sang, was frantically taking candid photos with his phone.
Tooth Treasure’s ear twitched, and it turned its head to look.
The male student was startled and quickly put down his phone.
Having experienced being surrounded for photos, Tooth Treasure glanced at the human’s phone in front of it and immediately understood what the sound just now was.
Tooth Treasure turned its head back and silently puffed out its chest.
“Tooth…”
Another one attracted by its handsomeness, what a bother…
The Yu Beast Masters lining up to register for the assessment finished one by one and proceeded to the assessment grounds inside.
Just as it was almost Shi Gaofeng’s turn to register, he suddenly turned and said, “Qiao Sang, don’t be nervous. With your strength, there shouldn should be no problem.”
You’re the one who’s nervous… Qiao Sang looked at Shi Gaofeng’s forehead, which was already sweating from nervousness, and very considerately didn’t expose him.
She nodded and said, “I also think there’s no problem.”
Shi Gaofeng: “…”
The assessment wasn’t free; it cost money.
It wasn’t much, 500 alliance coins per attempt, which was also to prevent people from casually signing up for no reason, wasting human resources and time.
Paying, registering, filling out the application form—a series of procedures that were very simple.
When Qiao Sang entered the assessment area, she found dozens of people sitting around the area, including Shi Gaofeng, all Yu Beast Masters who had just registered and were waiting for the assessment.
At one end of the examination area, two Judges were sitting at a long table looking at computers, and in the middle of the area, one Judge was conducting a battle assessment, with a Jianjian Eye floating in mid-air monitoring the entire process.
Qiao Sang came and sat next to Shi Gaofeng.
Shi Gaofeng subconsciously looked at Qiao Sang, only to find her expression calm, without any hint of nervousness.
Logically, someone taking an assessment for the first time would either be excited or nervous, but Qiao Sang showed no expression at all.
Shi Gaofeng felt a bit of admiration, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, as expected of the person almost everyone in the school called a monster…
Seeing Qiao Sang staring at the Judge in the middle, Shi Gaofeng whispered, “If it’s this Judge when it’s our turn, then we’ll definitely pass.”
“I’ve looked into all the Judges today. The one currently assessing is notoriously lenient; out of ten people he assesses, basically nine will pass.”
No sooner had he spoken than the Power Head Duck on the field struck down the Fat Home Dove with a Water Gun.
“Fail, next.” The Judge, whom Shi Gaofeng had described as lenient, said.
P.S.: There’s one more chapter coming a bit later, but it will definitely be supplemented. I strongly recommend everyone to read it tomorrow morning after waking up.
