Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 505: District 3
“Qunbao.”
Little Qunbao picked up the sleeping uninvited guest with its claws, floated to the window, and tossed it out.
Then, it turned its head to look at its sleeping big brother, Ya, shook its head, and showed a worried expression.
If it weren’t for it, what would they do?
… …
The street at deep night.
“Isn’t this Little Steel Falcon?” A bald man with dark skin and unfocused eyes swayed closer, kicking the purple bird Pet lying motionless on the ground.
A White Youth next to him, whose pupils were also glazed with drunkenness, squatted down and peered closer. After a careful look, the drunkenness in his eyes immediately dissipated:
“It really is Little Steel Falcon! And it’s a wild one! Does it look like the one from the news a while ago?”
Upon hearing this, the bald man also sobered up a bit.
He picked up Little Steel Falcon, examined it carefully for a few seconds, and then exclaimed in surprise:
“It really is! The news said Little Steel Falcon had a rotten claw, and this one’s claw is rotten!”
As a Pet with the Steel attribute, Little Steel Falcon’s defense is naturally top-notch. How many of them would have rotten claws?
Almost the moment he saw the rotten claw of Little Steel Falcon, the bald man knew that this one was definitely the Little Steel Falcon that had been wanted a while ago.
The White Youth’s eyes lit up and he said, “I remember the bounty for Little Steel Falcon was 200,000, wasn’t it?”
The bald man whistled:
“The government’s bounty is 200,000, but in the black market, Little Steel Falcon is worth more than that. Its feathers are excellent materials.”
The White Youth immediately understood what the bald man meant.
In fact, the market price of Little Steel Falcon is around 600,000, but that’s only based on Pet bases.
Unless a wild Pet is still in its egg or is an extremely rare species, it’s difficult to resell in the market due to its untamed nature. But the black market isn’t afraid, because Yu Beast Masters who are willing to buy Pets in the black market aren’t necessarily looking to contract them.
A Little Steel Falcon with a market price of around 600,000, sold to the black market, would definitely fetch more than the 200,000 offered by the government.
Pets like Little Steel Falcon are not easy to find normally, let alone one that’s wanted. He wondered why it was lying on the street… As thoughts flickered through the White Youth’s mind, he suddenly realized something and looked at the bald man, asking, “How do you plan to split it?”
“Split what?” The bald man’s expression turned sour: “I saw this Little Steel Falcon first.”
In an instant, their gazes were sharp, no longer showing any signs of their previous drunkenness.
In a place unseen by the bald man, the White Youth secretly formed hand seals behind his back.
A white star array lit up.
At this critical moment, secretly summoning a Pet, anyone with a bit of sense would know what the other party was trying to do.
“Bastard!” The bald man’s face changed drastically, and he quickly formed hand seals.
But it was already too late.
From the white star array, a moth-like Pet with pink ring-shaped patterns on its wings appeared.
“Hypnosis Powder!” the White Youth quickly commanded.
The moth-like Pet flapped its wings, and glowing powder immediately scattered towards the bald man.
The bald man hadn’t even finished forming his hand seals when he fell to the ground with a “thud,” falling asleep.
“You still want to fight me for it.” The White Youth’s smile turned disdainful as he kicked him, then bent down, picked up Little Steel Falcon, and turned to leave.
He didn’t notice that Little Steel Falcon had quietly opened its eyes at that moment, glanced at the identity bracelet worn by the moth-like Pet, and then closed them again.
… …
The next day.
It was almost noon when Qiao Sang woke up with a yawn.
She picked up her phone and checked the time: 11:41 AM.
Qiao Sang was shocked. She turned to Yang Jiayi, who had just come out of the restroom, and asked, “It’s almost 12 o’clock, why didn’t you wake me up?”
“Officer Chen said not to wake you,” Yang Jiayi explained. “He said it’s rare for you to get a good night’s sleep, so you should sleep more.”
How thoughtful of him… Qiao Sang asked while putting on her shoes, “When are we leaving?”
Yang Jiayi replied, “We’ll leave once you wake up.”
Amidst their casual chatter, Qiao Sang finished washing up, put away the books she had taken out yesterday, and carrying Ya, followed Yang Jiayi out of the room.
Yuanxin Hotel was very close to the airport. After just over ten minutes of walking, the group arrived at Rad Airport.
The tickets were bought on short notice, so the four of them weren’t seated together.
Sitting next to Qiao Sang was a young woman with a Southeast Asian face.
She was on the phone.
As a Yu Beast Master with three High-level Pets, the conversation between the two clearly fell into Qiao Sang’s ears.
“What? Toxic Moss Moth’s identity bracelet was stolen? Who did it?”
“It was a wild Pet. I saw it sleeping on the street and felt sorry for it, so I picked it up. I didn’t expect Toxic Moss Moth’s identity bracelet to be gone when I woke up.”
“Oh my goodness, can you just pick up wild Pets casually?”
“It’s my first time picking one up, I didn’t expect this to happen.”
“You’re just too kind, dear. Promise me you won’t pick up wild Pets randomly anymore, okay?”
“Honey, I’ll promise you anything you say, but since Toxic Moss Moth’s identity bracelet is gone, I can’t board the plane. I’ll have to trouble you to wait for me for a day.”
“Oh, my dear, I’ll wait for you.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
… … Qiao Sang remained expressionless, pretending not to have heard anything, and quietly read her book.
… …
Three days later, the plane arrived in Third District.
The sun of Super Dormant Star constantly emitted a halo during the day, its splendid ring causing Qiao Sang to take many photos as soon as she got off the plane.
On the way to Sainan High School, Qiao Sang noticed that there were fewer Pets on the road than in the Thirteenth District, but the number of large Pets had increased significantly.
The skyscrapers here soared into the clouds, and the Flying Pets in the sky almost all carried people.
An advertising airship slowly passed through a group of Flying-type Pets.
Compared to the Thirteenth District, the environment in Third District was much better.
“Ya!”
Ya looked out the car window at the large-bodied Pets and grew more and more excited.
The driver was talkative, his mouth never stopping the whole way.
“Are you all students of Sainan High School?” The driver explained himself: “Don’t mind me, I’m just asking. Although I’ve been driving around here, I’ve never picked up students from Sainan High School before.”
“I’m not questioning you, but students at Sainan High School basically travel by Pet. I’ve never seen anyone take a taxi.”
“But you all look like students from there. Oh, by the way, student, what’s the name of the Pet you’re holding? I’ve never seen it before.”
In the car, only Qiao Sang was holding a Pet.
Tang Yi didn’t have a lightweight shrinking bracelet, so his Pet was always put away when traveling by vehicle.
And Yang Jiayi, to avoid Sa Geng Meow getting into conflict with Ya again, had also mostly put Sa Geng Meow into her yu beast codex these past few days.
“It’s called Liao Xing Hound,” Qiao Sang said.
“Liao Xing Hound?” The driver praised, “This Pet is beautiful, it looks like a rare species. I’ve never heard of it.”
“Of course you haven’t heard of it.” Officer Chen was just about to introduce the three genius youths from their Dragon Kingdom on Blue Star.
Just then, the car stopped.
“Sainan High School has arrived.”
