Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 502: Vail stock solution
Life on the starship was relatively peaceful. Although it wasn’t quite what Qiao Sang had imagined—a daily view of the starry sea—at least they didn’t encounter scenarios like black holes or alien beasts freely moving in space, as seen in movies.
Every day, Ya Bao either trained his Psychic power or engaged in Meditation.
Little Qunbao also trained his Psychic power and practiced the Decline Luck Curse on ants brought from Blue Star.
As for Lu Bao, she trained Healing Light and Therapeutic Sound Wave.
And the training subject was Qiao Sang.
With 24/7 continuous studying, Qiao Sang went from needing Healing Light every 12 hours, to every 6 hours, then every 3 hours.
In the end, she had to use Therapeutic Sound Wave along with it to keep going.
Looking at the abyss-like space outside the cabin every day, coupled with 24 hours of non-stop studying, Qiao Sang felt her brain swelling more and more, occasionally accompanied by headaches.
Fortunately, Lu Bao was always by her side. Whenever Qiao Sang felt unwell, she didn’t even need to speak; Lu Bao would sense it and send a Healing Light over.
Perhaps sensing her Yu Beast Master’s condition, Lu Bao simply stopped sleeping at night and even used Healing Light on herself, all to be able to provide Healing to Qiao Sang at any time.
For this, Qiao Sang was so touched that she hugged and kissed Lu Bao.
Although Lu Bao outwardly showed disdain, her wagging tail still revealed her good mood.
It was pitch black outside the cabin. If you didn’t look at the time, you wouldn’t know how much time had passed.
Qiao Sang stayed at her desk, constantly reading and doing practice problems.
“Dr. Zhou Tai once proposed that once a Pet reaches the General-level, the feedback received by the Yu Beast Master undergoes a qualitative change. A Yu Beast Master with a General-level Pet, as long as the connection with the Pet is close and not unstable, can achieve an average lifespan of 200 years.”
“This closeness refers to contracting and nurturing the Pet from a low level.”
“However, this theory was quickly debunked by Researcher Xue Dongshi. She raised an objection, stating that according to investigations and research, Yu Beast Masters who possess only one General-level Pet actually have a lifespan of less than 200 years.”
“She believes that a Yu Beast Master’s lifespan is not only related to the Pet’s own level but also greatly to the degree of brain region development.”
“Under Researcher Xue Dongshi’s research, later generations classified Yu Beast Masters from F-level to SSS-level based on their brain region development and Pet level.”
“Do you think this statement is correct? Why?”
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then began to write.
“Incorrect. The Yu Beast Master’s level is determined by the Beast Tamer Alliance based on statistical surveys and strictly according to the circumstances of all Yu Beast Masters from ancient times to the present, not solely based on Researcher Xue Dongshi’s research…”
While Qiao Sang was answering the questions, Yang Jiayi quietly pushed the door open and stepped out.
…
Dining area.
“Qiao Sang is still studying?!” Tang Yi said, utterly disbelieving.
Yang Jiayi nodded, sighing from the bottom of her heart:
“It’s terrifying. I’ve never seen anyone so dedicated to studying.”
Tang Yi blurted out, “She’s been studying for 32 days without sleeping, and you call that a person?!”
Yang Jiayi glanced at him and said faintly, “You have a point. That really can’t be called a person…”
Tang Yi asked, “Why do you think she’s studying so desperately? She won the National Campus Pet Beast League championship. She could easily get special admission to any Top Universities. As long as she can score above 350 on the college entrance exam, what Top Universities can’t she get into?”
Yang Jiayi shook her head:
“I don’t know.”
For special talents like them, as soon as they enter high school, they strive for special admission. They usually don’t read much; their books might still be brand new after a semester. They simply couldn’t understand why Qiao Sang, who stood at the pinnacle of special admissions, would study so desperately.
Tang Yi changed the subject:
“I heard that Sainan High School, where we’re going, is one of the best high schools on Super Dormant Star. The rules and hierarchy there are quite strict, a bit like Di Du Zhi Shang Yu Shou High School in our Chongdao Area. Resources are obtained through points. Do you think we can successfully obtain Weil Elixir?”
Brain regions cannot be forcibly developed; this is a truth everyone knows.
But there are always some invaluable resources that possess functions beyond ordinary imagination.
Weil Elixir is one such resource. It can enhance a Yu Beast Master’s brain region without any side effects, though it can only be taken once in a lifetime, with the best effect before the age of 18.
As for how much it can improve, it depends on the Yu Beast Master’s brain region’s tolerance.
One of the assessment qualifications for Top Universities is obtaining D-level Beastmaster certification. In the National Campus Pet Beast League for third-year high school students, there are almost no such players, but after the competition, before special admissions, a group of students who have passed the D-level Beastmaster assessment always emerges.
Besides the fact that they don’t need to compete during that period and students spend most of their time on Meditation, another reason is that some of them have obtained Weil Elixir.
Resources like these are strictly controlled by the state. They won’t appear in textbooks, won’t circulate online, and ordinary Yu Beast Masters will never have any way of knowing about them.
And the fact that a batch of Weil Elixir is released before the annual special admission assessments of various Top Universities is also sanctioned by the state.
This is no secret among the influential families in various regions.
Yang Jiayi said:
“I don’t know about others, but every Interstellar Exchange Student who reports to the school can get Weil Elixir. You can rest assured about that.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yi felt relieved.
He knew that Minister Wang of the Chong Dao Area was a relative of Yang Jiayi, so if she said so, the information should be correct.
…
Meanwhile, in the cabin.
Qiao Sang looked at another question on the test paper, pondered for a long time, and was about to start writing.
“Sa Sa!”
Suddenly, Sa Geng Meow’s cry echoed in the room, interrupting her actions.
Qiao Sang turned to look and saw Sa Geng Meow standing beside Ya Bao, who was Meditating. The leaves on her head stood upright, looking like she was looking for trouble.
Here she comes again… Qiao Sang thought, feeling exhausted.
Sa Geng Meow, Yang Jiayi’s Pet, for some reason, had always been at odds with Ya Bao. If she hadn’t told Ya Bao not to fight on the starship, they would have probably started fighting long ago.
“Ice~ Ice Ice~ Ice Ice Ice~ Ice~ Ice Ice~”
Ya Bao’s eyes were just about to open when Lu Bao had already begun to use Therapeutic Sound Wave.
An invisible sound wave rippled out.
“Sa Sa…”
The leaves on Sa Geng Meow’s head immediately drooped.
Ya Bao opened her eyes, blinked, and then closed them again.
Qiao Sang gave Lu Bao a thumbs-up, indicating a job well done.
“Ice Ke.”
Lu Bao’s lips curled up slightly.
Just then, the broadcast voice sounded:
“Attention, passengers, in ten minutes, we will arrive at our destination, Super Dormant Star’s Thirteenth District, Heto Starport. For your safety, please remain in your respective cabins during this time and do not walk around.”
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
Arrived?! Qiao Sang’s spirits lifted, and she quickly got up and walked towards the transparent cabin.
She looked out into the distance.
She saw a huge, blue-purple planet appear before her in the dark space.
