Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 392: The styling is quite fashionable.
To think I have to go so far… Qiao Sang muttered to herself, looking at the information on her phone.
There are a total of 13 regions in Long Country.
They are Yuhua Region, Lianbo Region, Lianke Region, Liaoxi Region, Ancient Mist Region, Xi Lv Region, Beilun Region, Zhongkong Region, Chongdao Area, Tuwei Region, Dongjia Region, Guri Region, and Zhiya District.
The vastness of the territory means that the vast majority of Long Country people will never visit all the regions in their lifetime.
The distance between regions varies.
The Ancient Mist Region is separated from the Yuhua Region by the Lianke Region, Lianbo Region, and Chongdao Area.
To get to the Ancient Mist Region, even a direct flight would take over ten hours.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Xiangting asked, seeing her daughter staring at her phone for a long time.
Qiao Sang put away her phone and replied, “My teacher said the Sub-Regional Competition is in the Ancient Mist Region, and we’re leaving in three days.”
Ye Xiangting stopped what she was doing, turned to look, and exclaimed, “That far?”
Qiao Sang said, “No choice, who told me I made it into the Sub-Regional Competition.”
The Sub-Regional Competition, as the name suggests, is a competition held by region.
Although there are 13 regions in the country, regions vary in strength. Regions that are economically and technologically developed tend to have stronger contestants.
Some stronger regions might have contestants ranked tenth who are more powerful than the first-place contestants from weaker regions.
To prevent contestants from strong regions who rank lower from not making it to the National Competition, the Sub-Regional Competition adopts a mixed-region competition system.
The 13 regions are divided into four major areas.
One area will have contestants from 4 regions grouped together for the competition.
Correspondingly, the number of advancement slots in that area will also increase to the appropriate quantity.
Qiao Sang didn’t yet know which regions the Yuhua Region would be mixed with, but it was certain that the Ancient Mist Region was one of them.
After all, the competition venue for the Sub-Regional Competition is only held in the participating regions.
Although Ye Xiangting thought it was far, she didn’t say anything more.
Her daughter had never left Zhehai Province since she was little, let alone gone to other regions. Worry was inevitable, but her daughter making it to the Sub-Regional Competition was something to brag about for a lifetime, so she couldn’t stop her.
…
Late at night, the evening breeze blew in, and the curtains swayed slightly. Qiao Sang lay on her bed, scrolling through her phone, looking at travel guides for the Ancient Mist Region.
It’s not easy to get a chance to go to another region, so she had to visit the fun local spots.
Otherwise, who knows when the next time she would go to the Ancient Mist Region would be.
Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something, got up, put on her slippers, and went to the courtyard.
Snowflakes were falling, and the courtyard already felt like it had accumulated snow.
Lu Bao was still training, while Xiao Xunbao was excitedly building snow by the wall.
The level of dedication is terrifying… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, then said, “Aren’t you going to rest?”
“Lu.”
Lu Bao heard the voice, turned to look at Qiao Sang, and barked once, indicating she didn’t need to.
Qiao Sang continued, “We’re going to the Ancient Mist Region in a few days. You’re from the Ancient Mist Region, is there anywhere you want to see?”
“Lu…”
Lu Bao stopped training, turned to look, and appeared dazed.
Qiao Sang was amused by Lu Bao’s expression. Lu Bao’s image had always been aloof; even before she was heartbroken, she had never shown such a “silly” expression.
“Is there anywhere you want to go?” Qiao Sang asked again.
“Lu.”
Lu Bao came back to her senses, squirmed a bit, then nodded seriously.
As expected… Qiao Sang smiled and asked, “Where is it?”
“Lulu.”
“Lulu.”
Lu Bao gestured; there was a tree and a house in that place.
Qiao Sang nodded, “And then?”
“Lulu.”
“Lulu.”
Lu Bao continued to gesture, and there was also a very long Pet.
Qiao Sang nodded, gesturing with her eyes for Lu Bao to continue.
“Lu…”
“Lulu!”
Lu Bao first looked like she was lost in thought, then excitedly barked.
That Pet was green!
Qiao Sang looked at Lu Bao.
Lu Bao’s usually deep, profound eyes blinked at Qiao Sang.
After staring at each other for three seconds, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but say, “Keep going.”
“Lu?”
Lu Bao showed a confused expression.
Keep saying what?
Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned, looking at Lu Bao in surprise. After a few seconds, she tentatively asked:
“The place you want to go has a tree, a house, a long green Pet, and nothing else?”
“Lu.”
Lu Bao nodded.
Qiao Sang: “…”
With just these few descriptions, in an entire region, only a ghost could find it!
…
The next day, in the morning, Qiao Sang finished eating, and just as she stuffed her books into her backpack, she suddenly remembered that today was Saturday.
Goodness, this competition has made me forget what day it is…
Just then, her phone on the table rang. Caller ID: Mom.
Qiao Sang answered the call.
“Have you had breakfast?” her mother’s voice came from the phone.
“Yes,” Qiao Sang replied.
Ye Xiangting said gently, “The shop has been a bit busy these past few days, so I don’t have much time. Go look at the house I mentioned yesterday. If you like it, just buy it directly. Put your own name on it.”
Yesterday at dinner, her mother had told her the location and community name of the house she liked.
“I understand.”
Qiao Sang hung up the phone, opened the map, and searched for “Qinglu Courtyard.”
It was about 27 kilometers from where she currently rented.
She wondered if Space Movement, if practiced to the Profound Meaning, could directly move such a distance of 27 kilometers… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but look at Xiao Xunbao beside her.
“Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao blinked.
Qiao Sang retracted her gaze, took off her school uniform, changed into her casual clothes, and put on a baseball cap.
Xiao Xunbao realized they were going out and very consciously floated onto her Yu Beast Master’s head.
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao wiggled her bottom on the baseball cap for a while before finally finding a comfortable position.
Qiao Sang finished getting ready and bent down to pick up Ya Bao.
“Ya!”
Unexpectedly, Ya Bao took a step back and barked excitedly, indicating to wait a moment.
“Yaya!”
Then she barked at Xiao Xunbao again.
“Xunxun~”
Hearing her big brother speak, Xiao Xunbao immediately took off the ring and skillfully pulled out all the sunglasses from inside.
All the sunglasses were suspended in front of Ya Bao by Xiao Xunbao’s psychic power.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao looked at them one by one, then her gaze fixed on the red triangular sunglasses she used to wear most often.
These sunglasses were then controlled by a force and placed on Ya Bao’s face.
Then, Ya Bao ran to the full-length mirror and checked herself out.
“Yaya!”
After checking all angles, Ya Bao finally ran to Qiao Sang, wagged her tail, and barked, indicating they could go.
Qiao Sang: “…”
…
Qiao Sang called a taxi to Qinglu Courtyard.
Along the way, the driver uncle occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror inside the car.
Being on the hot search twice really makes a difference; she’s wearing a baseball cap and still got recognized… Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Just then, the driver uncle spoke, “Little beauty, you want to be a Pet Coordinator in the future, right? One of your Pets has such cool sunglasses, and the other has such shiny gloves. Their styles are quite trendy.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
