Chapter 290: singing

Lu Bao was startled at first, then showed an interested expression.

“Lu!”

What does learning a new skill represent?

It means strength can be enhanced! It means being one step closer to defeating Ya Bao!

It will learn!

“Very good!” Qiao Sang was very satisfied with Lu Bao’s eagerness to learn and said, “This move is called Therapeutic Sound Wave, and it can make the target’s mood peaceful.”

“Lu.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Bao instantly reverted to her usual aloof expression, then flicked her tail and turned to continue training.

So it’s not an offensive skill. Not interested.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“This move is very powerful!” Qiao Sang shouted.

“Lu.”

Lu Bao called out without looking back.

No matter how powerful this skill is, it can’t defeat Ya Bao.

Not learning.

I thought you were simply eager to learn, but it turns out you’re only eager to learn to defeat Ya Bao… Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, and she opened her mouth to say:

“Who said this move can’t defeat Ya Bao when learned?”

“Lu?”

Lu Bao instantly stopped, turned her head, and showed an expression of “Really?”.

“Of course.” Qiao Sang said seriously, “To defeat Ya Bao, simply learning offensive skills is definitely not enough. Defensive, speed, and auxiliary skills can all play a decisive role in battle.”

“Just look at your Healing Light. If you use it halfway through a fight, isn’t it super useful? Others think you’re done for, but then you get back up, completely unharmed. It could even infuriate others to death.”

“Lu…”

Lu Bao showed a thoughtful expression.

Qiao Sang continued, “The Therapeutic Sound Wave I want you to learn now, while not as impressive as Healing Light, can make the target’s mood peaceful.”

“Think about it, if you’re at a disadvantage during a battle, your mood will definitely be restless. When you’re restless, you’ll inevitably have more openings. Therapeutic Sound Wave can solve this problem very well.” As Qiao Sang spoke, she herself felt it made a lot of sense, so she spoke with increasing confidence:

“Also, Ya Bao usually gets stronger the more it fights. The main reason is its strong fighting spirit. If you use this move on it during a battle, its fighting passion will definitely be weakened.”

“Once that fighting passion is gone, its combat power will definitely be reduced by at least half.”

“Ya ya Ya!”

As soon as Qiao Sang finished speaking, Ya Bao’s laughter came from the living room.

Lu Bao turned her head and looked through the glass, finding Ya Bao watching TV, rolling around and laughing foolishly, not paying any attention to her.

She was training hard here, but Ya Bao had no sense of urgency at all. It was clearly looking down on her and not treating her as an opponent!

“Lu!”

Lu Bao flicked her tail, looked at Qiao Sang, and showed a serious expression.

She will learn!

That’s right! Qiao Sang was overjoyed internally, but showed a look of relief on her face. She squatted down and stroked Lu Bao’s head:

“That’s right.”

“Lu.”

Lu Bao’s tail wagged slightly. She suddenly felt that being obedient was quite nice.

Qiao Sang only knew the conditions for Pets to learn Therapeutic Sound Wave, but she didn’t know how to learn it. However, this didn’t stop her from thinking outside the box:

“I’ll find a few healing songs for you to learn first. Try to infuse energy into your singing. You might learn it by singing.”

“If it doesn’t work, I’ll think of other ways then.”

“Lu.”

Lu Bao nodded.

Qiao Sang immediately took Lu Bao to the room, opened the computer, selected a popular healing-style song, and clicked play.

“Watch the Pet fall into a silent secret realm, listen to the roaring sound deep in the distance…”

When the song reached this point, Qiao Sang pressed pause and said, “You learn this.”

“Lu.”

Lu Bao nodded, then closed her eyes to gather her emotions. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was firm, and she opened her mouth confidently.

“Lu~ Lulu lulu~ Lulu~ Lu~ Lulu…”

This voice instantly stunned Qiao Sang.

What?

What is this singing?!

The singing echoed continuously in the room.

“Lu.”

After singing, Lu Bao looked at Qiao Sang and called out, showing a confident expression, indicating that she was ready for evaluation.

Qiao Sang was silent.

“Lu?”

Lu Bao called out again.

Qiao Sang still didn’t say a word.

“Lu!”

Lu Bao pouted and tugged hard at Qiao Sang’s pant leg with her paw.

Tell me how I sang!

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang’s heart was collapsing at this moment.

She had calculated everything, but she never expected Lu Bao to be tone-deaf!

And the kind where others sing for money, but she sings for lives!

Her voice was so nice, how could she be so out of tune!

After a brief silence, Qiao Sang composed herself and said, half-truthfully, “You sang well, I was just shocked by your singing.”

“Lu.”

Lu Bao showed an “Oh, I see” expression.

She believed it! She actually believed it! Don’t you know how you sing yourself?! Qiao Sang roared internally, but calmly said on the surface: “For this song, you practice it first. I’ll check if there are any other ways to learn Therapeutic Sound Wave.”

“Lulu.”

Lu Bao confidently called out, indicating that she thought this method would work and there was no need to bother checking for others.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Checking is definitely necessary, but Therapeutic Sound Wave is basically only learned by Pets that have it as an innate racial talent.

Moreover, this move isn’t particularly special among many skills, so not many people discuss it.

Qiao Sang looked for a long time but didn’t find any reliable ideas.

No choice, can only sleep first.

Although Lu Bao’s Healing Light allows people to stay up all night without any burden, Qiao Sang still feels that sleeping is very necessary at the moment.

One must rest after a day’s work. A balance between work and rest is the right way, unlike when she was in her third year of high school in her previous life, when time had to be split in half to be used.

…

The next morning.

As soon as Qiao Sang opened her eyes, she found Xiao Xunbao looking listless, with bloodshot eyes, and a pitiful expression looking at her.

Seeing Qiao Sang awake, Xiao Xunbao immediately pounced into her arms and burst into tears.

“Xun!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang was startled: “Why are you crying?”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao, with tears in her eyes, pointed towards the courtyard and then pointed to her own ears.

Qiao Sang was stunned: “Are you saying Lu Bao sang all night?”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao showed an excited expression.

That wasn’t singing! That was a sound-based attack skill!

Qiao Sang: “…”

At this moment, Ya Bao groggily opened her eyes.

“Ya…”

Ya Bao looked in Xiao Xunbao’s direction, still looking half-asleep.

Why is my little brother crying…

“Xun!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Seeing Ya Bao awake, Xiao Xunbao immediately pointed towards the courtyard again.

Big Brother Ya Bao’s ears are so good, he must have heard it too!

“Ya…”

Ya Bao looked bewildered.

Heard what? He didn’t hear anything…

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Lu Bao. She definitely won’t do this again tonight.”

“Xun!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes welled up with tears again, and she immediately pounced back into Qiao Sang’s arms.

I believe you!

…

Saint Water Middle School.

After finishing the morning classes, Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and, instead of going to eat as usual, went to the entrance of Class 9, Grade 1, and asked:

“Is Liu Qijia here?”

PS: I came back late last night, woke up late this morning and had some things to do, so I was late in writing.

Most importantly, Happy New Year everyone!
