Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 553: I’m not that kind of person
“So it was about throwing the match, no wonder the treatment was so good…” Qiao Sang thought to herself.
She wasn’t particularly surprised; for places involving large sums of money, it was almost impossible for there to be no manipulation behind the scenes.
“I’m afraid I can’t agree to that,” Qiao Sang said calmly.
“Why?” Jude asked, full of confusion.
In his opinion, almost no one could refuse such treatment.
Qiao Sang almost rolled her eyes.
Why do you ask! Ya Bao was currently in her arms, Little Qunbao was invisible beside her, and there was also Little Steel Falcon; to help it get more familiar with battles, it had stayed by her side the entire evening.
If she agreed to throw the match in front of her Pets, wouldn’t that damage her tall image in their hearts!
“I’m not that kind of person,” Qiao Sang said righteously.
“That’s true, a child so young hasn’t entered society yet, so she’s probably still idealistic. Whether it’s that Fire-type plus Superpower System Pet or that Ghost-type plus Superpower System Pet, they are rare existences on any planet. To be able to acquire these two Pets, her family must not be lacking money…” Jude had a rough idea and added, “The meaning of asking you to lose a few rounds isn’t to make you directly lose the match, but to lose one or two rounds within it, so that the score occasionally results in a 3:1 or 3:2 victory.”
It’s useless to say all that, Ya Bao and the others are still listening… Qiao Sang said again, “I’m not that kind of person.”
Jude was speechless for a moment, thinking that while this child was strong, she was also truly stubborn.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now,” Qiao Sang said, getting up.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to walk out of the room with Ya Bao in her arms, Jude called out loudly,
“Do you know how much money you can earn from a 10% share of the profits in a single day, not including endorsement fees?!”
Yesterday’s 20% share was 3.23 million, so 10% would be… Qiao Sang abruptly stopped, took a deep breath, and placed Ya Bao on the ground.
“Ya?”
Ya Bao looked up with a confused expression.
Little Steel Falcon flapped its wings, its expression showing no surprise.
This is more like it… Jude saw the other party stop and assumed she had thought it through. A smile immediately spread across his face, and he was about to say, “Your choice is correct.”
But before he could speak, Qiao Sang formed hand seals and summoned a Pet he had never seen before.
Jude was momentarily stunned.
What is she going to do?
“Lu Bao, Therapeutic Sound Wave,” Qiao Sang said.
Lu Bao didn’t ask anything and immediately began:
“Bing~ Bingbingbing~ Bingbing~ Bing~ Bingbing~”
An invisible sound wave rippled through the room.
After Lu Bao finished singing, Qiao Sang waved her hand, recalling Lu Bao into the yu beast codex. Then, she picked up Ya Bao again and said with genuine tranquility,
“I’m not that kind of person.”
With that, she pushed the door open and left.
Leaving Jude in the room, his expression tranquil as he thought: I seem to have forgotten to sign the non-disclosure agreement…
…
The night sky was clear, and under the bright moonlight, Ya Bao and a bird Pet with a white crest walked side by side.
“You didn’t agree?” You Na asked curiously, sitting on the back of the bird Pet.
“No…” Qiao Sang lay on Ya Bao’s body, looking melancholic.
“Why?” You Na pressed.
I want to know why too… Qiao Sang looked at the night sky, silent for a few seconds, then said, “Perhaps I’m not short on money right now.”
Suddenly, a voice called out from far to near:
“Miss Qiao Sang! Wait for me!”
Qiao Sang sat up and saw a medium-sized blue bird Pet flying rapidly towards them.
And the person on its back was Jude, who had spoken to her earlier.
Qiao Sang frowned. She hadn’t expected that even after what she said, this guy still hadn’t given up.
If he increased the treatment, making it a 20% or 30% share, could she still hold out then… Qiao Sang was momentarily both happy and worried. Happy that money was knocking on her door again, and worried that she didn’t know if she could maintain her tall image in front of Ya Bao and the others under such temptation.
At Qiao Sang’s signal, Ya Bao slowed down.
Soon, Jude caught up.
“Miss Qiao Sang! There’s something I forgot to say!” Jude said anxiously.
“Don’t say anything,” Qiao Sang interrupted him righteously to prevent herself from being tempted. “I won’t agree to anything you say.”
Jude was dumbfounded. How could it be okay if she didn’t agree to sign the non-disclosure agreement?
If Qiao Sang revealed that there was something fishy about the Pet Arena, regardless of whether others believed it, there would always be an impact, especially since she had defeated Frida and many people knew her.
Logically speaking, if someone refused to cooperate with the official party, they would need to sign a non-disclosure agreement before leaving Hejin Building to prevent the details of the cooperation from being leaked.
But just now, he had been affected by the Therapeutic Sound Wave, and his mind wasn’t very sharp. By the time he realized it, she had already left Hejin Building!
If Qiao Sang didn’t sign the non-disclosure agreement today, how would he explain it to his superiors when he went back?
Could it be that he would have to resort to extreme measures?
Jude felt a bit conflicted internally.
Qiao Sang was clearly not an ordinary child, and he didn’t want to take coercive measures unless absolutely necessary.
Suddenly, an idea sparked in his mind.
He hadn’t even started talking about the non-disclosure agreement yet…
Jude’s expression immediately became complicated. He tentatively asked, “Are you really not going to sign the non-disclosure agreement no matter what I say?”
Non-disclosure agreement?
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, thinking, what the heck? So he wasn’t here to talk about cooperation…
How embarrassing, she had misunderstood his meaning… Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then said,
“If you insist, it’s not impossible to discuss.”
Hearing this, Jude breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, “As long as it’s not an excessive request, I can agree to it.”
Before Qiao Sang could speak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of You Na out of the corner of his eye and realized her presence.
Jude’s face suddenly changed, and he asked,
“You haven’t told your friend here about the details of our cooperation, have you?”
You Na: “…”
So you only noticed me now, huh.
Qiao Sang shook her head: “No.”
Jude breathed another sigh of relief and said, “You can state your request.”
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “I want the teaching plan for Air Absorption.”
…
Sainan High School.
Dormitory Area 1.
Dormitory 502.
This efficiency is really high… Qiao Sang checked the document Jude sent.
“Air Absorption, a high-level Flying-type skill. It achieves the effect of absorbing all surrounding air to create a vacuum for a short period by using energy to strengthen the Pet’s respiratory organs.”
“Note 1: Before starting practice, one must first perform internal breath-holding. Only after fully mastering it should one proceed with the practice of concentrating energy to condense the respiratory organs.”
“Note 2: Filling the body with gas and holding the breath without exhaling is called internal breath-holding.”
“Note 3: The size of the Pet’s respiratory organs fundamentally determines the amount of Air Absorption. Compressing air with energy will have an effect, but it will not cause a substantial change.”
“Note 4: It is recommended that Pets with small respiratory organs do not waste time on this skill.”
“Note 5: It is recommended that Pets with small body sizes do not waste time on this skill.”
