Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 538: planning
Sainan High School.
Number 1 Dormitory Area.
Dorm 502.
Qiao Sang sat at her desk, looking at the black Chan Chan Stone that lay motionless on the table.
If it weren’t for the translucent crystals occasionally appearing from it, one would truly not realize it was a Pet.
Earlier, by the roadside, no matter what she said, it wouldn’t respond. To avoid wasting time, she simply put it in her pocket and brought it back.
She hadn’t expected this Chan Chan Stone to be so composed; even like this, besides the translucent crystals appearing, there was no other movement.
“Steel Treasure.”
Little Steel Falcon was collecting crystals one by one with a plate beside it.
These were all food; they couldn’t be wasted.
“Are you looking for zi tan crystal? If you want it, just say so. If you don’t speak, how will I know?” Qiao Sang placed the zi tan crystal next to the black stone, tempting it.
The Chan Chan Stone remained motionless, completely unaffected by the temptation.
“If you don’t speak, I’ll let Little Steel Falcon eat the zi tan crystal.” Seeing that temptation was useless, Qiao Sang threatened.
The Chan Chan Stone still didn’t move.
You’re forcing my hand… Qiao Sang looked at Lu Bao: “Begin.”
Without needing to say too much, Lu Bao immediately understood. It opened its mouth, and a song with an invisible sound wave immediately echoed in the room.
“Ice~ Ice Ice Ice~ Ice Ice~ Ice Ice Ice~ Ice~”
Like a gentle spring breeze and warm sunshine, the translucent crystals on the Chan Chan Stone stopped appearing.
Slowly, it opened its eyes, grew four limbs, and its body turned translucent white.
“Chan Chan…”
The Chan Chan Stone looked at Lu Bao with a peaceful expression, thinking, ‘So beautiful to listen to…’
When the singing stopped, Qiao Sang calmly asked, “How about coming with me?”
“Chan Chan.”
The Chan Chan Stone shook its head with a peaceful expression.
Not good.
“Just half a year. I only need the crystals from your body. During this time, all your food and expenses will be covered by me, and when the time is up, I’ll give you the zi tan crystal,” Qiao Sang said.
“Chan Chan…”
The Chan Chan Stone calmly thought for three seconds, then nodded, indicating it was acceptable.
Half an hour later, the Chan Chan Stone huddled in a corner, trembling, filled with fear and regret.
Humans were too terrifying!
Why had it been so foolish just now!
Qiao Sang and Ya Bao were discussing how to make the Chan Chan Stone produce more crystals.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao barked, indicating it could take the Chan Chan Stone for intense training, which would make more crystals flow out.
Qiao Sang nodded; this plan was feasible.
“Ice Ke.”
Lu Bao barked, suggesting that the Chan Chan Stone could eat more, which would allow it to excrete more crystals.
That’s not very good, is it? Although that stuff is crystal, it’s essentially poop… Qiao Sang subconsciously glanced at Little Steel Falcon, who was eating crystals next to her.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao raised its paw, indicating that the Chan Chan Stone could watch more tear-jerking dramas, which would definitely make a lot of crystals flow out.
This method is truly Xiao Xunbao’s style… Qiao Sang looked at Little Steel Falcon and asked, “What do you think?”
“Steel Treasure.”
Little Steel Falcon thought for a moment and felt that all three methods could be tried.
Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched: “The second one isn’t necessary, is it?”
“Steel Treasure?”
Little Steel Falcon showed a puzzled expression.
In its opinion, crystals were food, and where they came from wasn’t important.
Some of the Pet’s concepts were different from humans. Qiao Sang didn’t force Little Steel Falcon to agree with her thoughts; she just found the idea of eating crystals from that particular location a bit unsettling.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and decided to be frank: “I think the crystals from that location aren’t very clean. Didn’t we buy a lot of ore today? It’s enough to eat for a while, so there’s no rush to collect crystals. Let’s skip the second plan for now. The other two plans can be tried.”
“Steel Treasure.”
Little Steel Falcon took a bite of crystal, indicating it had no objections.
“Chan Chan…”
The Chan Chan Stone listened to the entire conversation, showing an expression of despair.
Why did no one ask for its opinion…
Then, as if it had thought of something, its eyes became determined.
It would let this human know that none of these plans would work! Its crystals were absolutely not that easy to obtain!
…
Late at night.
Living room.
“Xun!”
“Chan Chan!”
Xiao Xunbao and Chan Chan Stone cried with snot and tears, watching the scene of two Pets parting ways on the mobile phone video.
After crying for a while, Xiao Xunbao suddenly remembered something. While sobbing, its eyes turned blue, and it used its Psychic power to move the fallen crystals into a bowl already prepared on the coffee table.
“Chan Chan!”
“Chan Chan!”
The Chan Chan Stone’s tears flowed ceaselessly, and large crystals dropped down, completely forgetting its ambition from a few hours ago.
At the same time.
In the bedroom, Qiao Sang sat at her desk, writing down her upcoming plans:
[One: Evolve Little Steel Falcon within one month]
[Two: Score 300 points in this month’s exam]
[Three: Reach 1000 points before graduation]
[Four: Spend 4 hours a day participating in Pet arena battles]
With Lu Bao, she could stay awake 24 hours a day, giving her twice as much time to study as others.
Although she was catching up on three years of high school progress, her college entrance examination score only needed to be around 325 points. Excluding the knowledge points that required conceptual transformation, she could score around 300 points just by rote memorization.
To be honest, perhaps due to the strong memory gained from the feedback, studying without sleep for a month on the starship, high school knowledge wasn’t as difficult to absorb as she had originally imagined.
Moreover, there was a subject in the college entrance examination that tested Yu Beast Master’s brain domain, which was Meditation. The full score was 100, and a brain domain reaching 10% was a perfect score.
This 100 points was like a gift for her.
There were still a few months until the college entrance examination. If her target score was 325 points, she could completely spare a few hours to do other things.
Of course, the premise was not sleeping at night and continuing to study upon returning.
Ya Bao usually went to bed early at night, so after school, she had to go to Hejin Building before returning to study.
Sainan High School didn’t check dorms on weekends, and on weekdays, it was at 10 PM. She just had to make sure to return before that time.
After writing down her plan, Qiao Sang closed her notebook and picked up the “National Excellent Mock Exam Compilation” beside her, continuing to do practice problems.
…
The next morning, after breakfast, Qiao Sang took Ya Bao and the others to the outdoor training ground behind the school.
“Ya Bao, Lu Bao, keep an eye on Steel Treasure’s training, and don’t let Chan Chan Stone run off,” Qiao Sang instructed.
To unify the team’s names, Qiao Sang directly named Little Steel Falcon, Steel Treasure.
Little Steel Falcon was very casual in some aspects; it agreed to the name without even thinking.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao patted its chest, indicating it would take care of it.
“Ice Ke.”
Lu Bao nodded calmly.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao looked on enviously from the side. As soon as it thought about going to school soon, it felt the beauty of usual training…
“Chan Chan…”
The Chan Chan Stone stood by, eyes swollen and fists clenched.
It had miscalculated last night; today, it absolutely had to let this human know that its crystals were not that easy to obtain!
…
Half an hour later, Little Steel Falcon looked at the Chan Chan Stone, which had barely moved and was now lying flat on the ground, pretending it couldn’t move.
It flew to Ya Bao, who was training its Psychic power with Gravity steel beads, and pointed at the Chan Chan Stone with its wing, barking.
“Steel Treasure.”
“Ya!”
Ya Bao looked at the Chan Chan Stone and nodded.
“Chan Chan…”
A bad premonition suddenly rose in the Chan Chan Stone’s heart.
Ten seconds later.
“Chan Chan!”
“Chan Chan!”
The Chan Chan Stone ran uncontrollably, tears streaming down its face in the wind.
What exactly had it done wrong?
Why had things turned out this way!
“Ya!”
At the same time, Ya Bao’s eyes glowed blue, and its expression was somewhat excited.
The fourth one was right; training the Chan Chan Stone with Psychic power was much more interesting than controlling Gravity steel beads with Psychic power!
