Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 527: It’s time to take action
The boy turned his head, saw the newcomer, froze for a moment, then quickly sat up and said, “Of course you can.”
Qiao Sang hadn’t expected the other party to be an acquaintance.
Though she said acquaintance, it wasn’t really; they were just in the same class, familiar faces, but had never spoken a word.
From his expression, he clearly remembered her too.
Qiao Sang smiled, “Thank you.”
After saying that, she took out her campus card and pressed the chip area, and a ten-inch virtual screen immediately appeared beside it.
The building displayed for localization was precisely the Climate Hall they were currently in.
As soon as she entered, the control panel for the hall appeared.
While Qiao Sang was adjusting the indoor climate, Hugh Lewis subtly glanced at the Pet he didn’t recognize and the Little Steel Falcon beside it.
Then he seemed to recall something and couldn’t help but ask, “You’ve contracted the Little Steel Falcon?”
“Not yet,” Qiao Sang said while operating, “But soon.”
“Why would you think of contracting a Little Steel Falcon?” Hugh Lewis asked directly, completely disregarding that the Little Steel Falcon was right there listening.
The Little Steel Falcon glanced at him, thinking, ‘Foolish human, of course, it’s because she fancies my body and my brains.’
“Isn’t the Little Steel Falcon pretty good? It has both defense and offense, and it’s smart,” Qiao Sang said.
As soon as she finished speaking, the temperature in the hall plummeted, and the light snow instantly turned into a blizzard.
Hugh Lewis shivered and quickly burrowed back into his quilt, looking at the young girl beside him. He was about to ask if she wasn’t afraid of the cold.
But before he could ask, Qiao Sang simply said to the air beside her, “Clothes.”
The next second, a Pet he had never seen before suddenly appeared, taking off the golden ring it wore on its ear.
Then the ring grew larger, and this Pet rummaged inside it with its claws. Soon, it pulled out a series of winter clothing: a sweater, cotton pants, a down jacket, a hat, and a scarf.
Hugh Lewis was silent.
Good thing I didn’t ask…
Fully geared up, Qiao Sang picked a spot and sat down, looking at the Little Steel Falcon.
“Gang gang…”
The Little Steel Falcon’s eyes flickered. It knew that if it just pretended it couldn’t bear it, the human in front of it would probably give up on contracting it.
Although this person was a good person, she was a human after all.
Getting stronger? Even without a contract, it could still achieve that…
At this moment, Hugh Lewis continued their previous topic: “Here, Pets like the Little Steel Falcon are generally only considered for contracts by C-level Beastmasters. You might not know, having just arrived on Super Dormant Star, but don’t let the Little Steel Falcon’s current docile appearance fool you. It might betray its Yu Beast Master any day.”
Qiao Sang dismissed it, “Not all Little Steel Falcons are the same, are they?”
“Indeed, not all,” Hugh Lewis said gravely, “But you can’t fully grasp what’s on their mind. Actually, Little Steel Falcons used to be quite popular on our Super Dormant Star.”
He paused here deliberately.
Qiao Sang cooperatively asked, “Did something happen?”
Hugh Lewis looked at the Little Steel Falcon not far away, his eyes complex. “Many years ago, there was a very famous Yu Beast Master in the First District. He had contracted a Little Steel Falcon, and even cultivated it to the Emperor-level Fixed Armor Yoduo. But suddenly one day, Fixed Armor Yoduo forcibly broke the contract without any warning. That Yu Beast Master’s strength could have potentially earned him a good ranking in the global competition, but all of that was ruined by Fixed Armor Yoduo.”
“And from that day on, the market for Little Steel Falcons plummeted. Even after several price drops, hardly anyone was willing to contract them.”
Qiao Sang froze, blurting out, “What’s the Little Steel Falcon’s racial limit?”
‘You’re going to contract it without even knowing that?! And aren’t you missing the point?!’ Hugh Lewis’s mouth twitched.
“It’s Emperor-level.”
So it’s Emperor-level… Looks like it’s similar to Little Qunbao… Qiao Sang asked again, “Since he could participate in the global competition, that Yu Beast Master’s brain domain shouldn’t have been low, right? How could the contract be successfully broken?”
‘Is that the point…?’ Hugh Lewis replied gravely,
“His brain domain wasn’t low; he was a B-level Beast Tamer. But Fixed Armor Yoduo was an Emperor-level Pet, so forcibly breaking the contract wasn’t difficult.”
“No wonder,” Qiao Sang shrugged. “That only means his strength progressed too slowly, and he couldn’t suppress Fixed Armor Yoduo.”
Yu Beast Masters on Super Dormant Star inherently follow the path of suppressing Pets with their strength. It’s clear that the other party spent a considerable amount of time cultivating the Little Steel Falcon into Fixed Armor Yoduo, and his brain domain must have been developed little by little during this period.
He was following the suppression route, but if the speed of his brain domain growth couldn’t keep up with the Little Steel Falcon’s evolution, who could he blame?
Hugh Lewis was stunned.
He hadn’t expected the other party’s final conclusion to focus on that. ‘Are all Yu Beast Masters from Blue Star wired this way…?’
But it actually seemed quite reasonable… ‘No, I almost got sidetracked…’ Hugh Lewis frowned and said,
“But most other Pets don’t act like this. It’s only Pets of the Little Steel Falcon species that have so many similar incidents.”
Qiao Sang waved her hand, “Their species might just be more individualistic.”
Hugh Lewis: “…”
The Climate Hall fell silent for a moment.
Qiao Sang checked the time and looked up at the Little Steel Falcon, “Do you feel cold?”
“Gang gang.”
The Little Steel Falcon stared at the human in front of it for a while, then shook its head.
Not cold.
…
Half an hour later, Qiao Sang emerged from the Climate Hall.
‘The netizens didn’t lie to me; the Little Steel Falcon’s resistance is indeed extraordinary. This is the first time I’ve encountered two extreme weather conditions, and its face didn’t even change…’ Qiao Sang mused as she led the Little Steel Falcon to a tree.
“You just stand still and don’t resist,” Qiao Sang said, forming hand seals, preparing to contract.
“Gang gang!” The Little Steel Falcon stretched out its wings and made a ‘wait’ gesture.
Qiao Sang froze for a moment, stopping her actions. “What’s wrong?”
“Gang gang.”
“Gang gang.”
The Little Steel Falcon chirped twice, indicating that it wanted to go to District 27 before going to Blue Star.
With Yabao’s translation, Qiao Sang smiled, “Of course you can.”
“Gang gang.”
The Little Steel Falcon nodded. Then there was no problem.
Qiao Sang formed hand seals.
“Gang gang!”
Halfway through, the Little Steel Falcon suddenly stretched out its wings again and made a ‘wait’ gesture.
“What is it now?” Qiao Sang had no choice but to lower her hands and ask.
“Gang gang.”
“Gang gang.”
The Little Steel Falcon chirped twice, indicating that it hoped to eat hard ore every day from now on, as that would help its strength grow faster.
Yabao translated synchronously.
“Absolutely no problem,” Qiao Sang readily agreed.
It was a good thing that the Little Steel Falcon had a desire for strength.
“Gang gang.”
The Little Steel Falcon nodded, a solemn expression on its face, indicating it was ready to proceed.
Qiao Sang formed hand seals.
Soon, specks of orange-yellow starlight gathered from all directions above the Little Steel Falcon’s head, quickly forming an orange-yellow star array.
At the same time, in Qiao Sang’s brain domain, the last page of the yu beast codex slowly revealed the Little Steel Falcon’s information.
