Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 301: Fake? (Wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival!)
Training Ground No. 1.
In the center of the field, Xiao Xunbao and Piaopiaoling were engaged in a free battle.
By the time they reached their third year of high school, everyone had been a Yu Beast Master for over two years, and their Pets had all shown significant growth. Their reaction speed was many times faster than when they first formed a contract.
At this stage, it was no longer possible to command every single action like when they first became a Yu Beast Master.
Otherwise, in a battle, if the opponent used Flame Jet, and it was already halfway to its target, their own Pet would instinctively prepare to counter with a skill.
That itself wasn’t the problem, but rather, it was when the Yu Beast Master only reacted and gave a command at that very moment.
Alright, here comes the problem.
Whether it was to make the Pet dodge or to make the Pet use a skill, as long as the commanded skill was different from the skill the Pet intended to use, there would be a brief reaction pause, leading to an error.
And this error could very likely determine the outcome of the battle.
Therefore, the reduction of command terms is a necessary process for every new Yu Beast Master to become a Professional Beast Tamer.
With fewer commands from the Yu Beast Master, the Pet’s own reactions and judgments become especially important.
The third-year School Team was currently training the Pets on their own judgment in combat.
To put it bluntly, it was letting them fight on their own.
While Xiao Xunbao trained, Qiao Sang stood on the edge of the field, tallying her assets.
She found that money came quickly, but it also went quickly.
Even though there were still seven digits in her bank card, the most important leading digit had changed again and again.
Aside from the large expense of Energy Pills, Ya Bao’s recent training with Mars Rain using clones required energy recovery liquid as if it were free; it would be gone after just a couple of sips.
Energy recovery liquid was bought batch after batch.
Learning skills cost money, and wanting to quickly improve proficiency after learning skills also cost money!
“Sigh, money flows like water, I’m having such a hard time…” After Qiao Sang finished sighing internally, her gaze shifted to the pair of dazzling golden gloves on Xiao Xunbao’s paws in the center of the field.
It was time to sell that pair of genuine pure gold gloves that Liu Qijia’s father gave her…
“Senior…”
“What’s up?”
Xu Yixuan, who was squatting beside her and massaging her own Pet, looked up confusedly.
She had some self-awareness, knowing that the surrounding classmates found her verbose. Normally, they would avoid engaging with her if possible, and her School Team teammates were the same.
She truly hadn’t encountered someone like Qiao Sang who would proactively strike up a conversation in a long time.
“The National Campus Pet Beast League is about to start. Have you all gone to gather information on the participating members from other schools? If so, where did you find it?”
Xu Yixuan didn’t expect her to ask this.
She had thought that someone as monstrous as Qiao Sang wouldn’t bother with opponents, let alone proactively gather information on them before the competition.
“Most of the participants are old opponents from before,” Xu Yixuan said. “Which one do you want to know about? I have all the data here. How about I just send you all the participating members’ information for all the schools within Zhehai Province?”
Is this what I want to know! No! Qiao Sang coughed and said:
“It’s been almost a year since the last National Campus Pet Beast League, right? Everyone’s strength must have changed during this period. Where should I go to get information like that?”
Xu Yixuan was stunned.
She hadn’t expected Qiao Sang to be so cautious while possessing such abnormal strength!
Most people who gather information on opponents at most know about the opponent’s Pets and combat style. There aren’t many who are this cautious.
Indeed, if she doesn’t win, who will!
For a moment, Xu Yixuan’s admiration for Qiao Sang reached a new level.
Xu Yixuan answered seriously: “If you know someone, you can directly ask people from other schools for information. If not, you can post on the general forum for Zhehai Province high schools to inquire, or go to the Yu Beast Center to post a task.”
Qiao Sang understood.
That night, a new post appeared on the general forum for Zhehai Province high schools.
Chapter Saint Water Middle School’s Third-Year School Team Unexpectedly Replaced Members Near the Competition! Let Me Reveal the True Face of the New Member! # Chapter
Clicking in.
The opening only had one sentence:
【First-hand information, private message, bring your price, fair dealing, can be verified if you don’t believe it】
As soon as this post came out, it instantly exploded.
Saint Water Middle School, that was Hanggang City’s number one, and Zhehai Province’s number two Yu Beast high school!
A school like that changed members so close to the National Campus Pet Beast League?
And it was a third-year student?
Isn’t that completely outrageous!
Regardless of whether they were high school students about to participate in the competition, everyone clicked in with great interest, causing the post’s popularity to soar.
Inside the room.
The forum’s backend on the computer and the phone on the desk continuously received new message notifications.
Meanwhile, Qiao Sang, the owner of the computer and phone, was in the living room explaining the effects of the potion to Lu Bao.
Indeed, Vice Principal truly lived up to his reputation as an A-level Breeder; he refined the blue dew crystal into a potion in less than an hour.
“This thing can let your eyes see if people one kilometer away have eye boogers,” Qiao Sang said.
“Lu.”
Lu Bao showed an interested expression, took the potion with her paw, and was about to drink it.
Qiao Sang was startled and quickly stopped her: “Wait!”
“Lu?”
Lu Bao stopped her action, showing a “What’s wrong?” expression.
“This is for dripping into your eyes, not for drinking,” Qiao Sang explained.
“Lu.”
Lu Bao nodded, not at all embarrassed, then raised the paw holding the blue dew crystal and dripped it into her eyes.
At times like this, Qiao Sang really admired Lu Bao’s mental fortitude.
This was truly aloof…
After Lu Bao had dripped the potion into both her eyes, Qiao Sang asked: “How do your eyes feel now?”
“Lu…”
Lu Bao blinked her eyes, looked around, then shook her head, indicating she felt nothing.
“This shouldn’t be…” Qiao Sang picked up the bottle with remaining potion and examined it carefully, muttering: “If this is fake, Vice Principal should have recognized it when making the potion…”
“Lu.”
Lu Bao flicked her tail and walked towards the courtyard.
It was a waste of her training time; Ya Bao had already been training for half a day.
Qiao Sang: “…”
It seems that in the future, I’ll have to get materials appraised for authenticity before trading… Qiao Sang sighed, placed the remaining potion on the coffee table, and returned to her room.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
After Qiao Sang closed the room door, Xiao Xunbao appeared, picked up the bottle on the coffee table, looked at it curiously, then sniffed it with her nose, and then, mimicking Lu Bao, dripped twice into her own eyes.
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao blinked her eyes, feeling no change.
“Xun.”
Another blink, still nothing.
“Xun!”
After another blink, Xiao Xunbao put the potion back on the coffee table with a look of disdain.
Fake!
…
Qiao Sang sat in front of the computer, surprised to find that her forum backend’s private messages had already reached 99+.
Her first thought was: Good heavens, so many people are playing on their phones and computers instead of doing homework!
