Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 600: express delivery

Qiao Sang was stunned by the sight.

Before she could react, the Chan Chan Stone in the center position knocked on the window twice with a “thump-thump.”

Only then did Qiao Sang seem to awaken, getting up and opening the window.

“Chan Chan!”

“Chan Chan!”

“Chan Chan!”

“Chan Chan!”

“Chan Chan!”

Five Chan Chan Stones jumped in one by one from outside the window, neatly and orderly, settling on the desk, and then facing Qiao Sang with a big smile.

Qiao Sang hesitated, “You guys are…”

“Chan Chan!”

The Chan Chan Stone in the center position let out a very spirited cry.

It was unclear what it said, but the other four Chan Chan Stones nodded in agreement.

Qiao Sang was silent for a few seconds, then said loudly:

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

The next second, Xiao Xunbao appeared out of thin air beside her.

“Translate it,” Qiao Sang said.

Xiao Xunbao looked down, following her Yu Beast Master’s gaze, with a puzzled expression, and then its eyes widened.

Three minutes later, Qiao Sang tried to digest the content Xiao Xunbao had translated, and couldn’t help but confirm:

“You want to stay and work together?”

“Chan Chan!”

The five Chan Chan Stones nodded in unison.

“Are you serious?” Qiao Sang still couldn’t quite believe it.

“Chan Chan!”

The Chan Chan Stone in the center position took a step forward and cried out with a very serious expression.

Qiao Sang didn’t even need Xiao Xunbao to translate; she knew it was serious just by looking at its expression.

This happened so suddenly that Qiao Sang was still in a rather bewildered state.

They had been so eager to leave in the morning, so why did they come back at night? And with their whole family?

Didn’t they not want to stay here?

Why exactly?

Seeing that the human in front of it didn’t speak, the Chan Chan Stone in the center position, as if thinking of something, pulled the Chan Chan Stone next to it over and slapped it hard on the back of its head.

“Chan Chan…”

The pulled-over Chan Chan Stone let out a coy cry.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao imitated the Chan Chan Stone’s appearance, diligently translating.

The five Chan Chan Stones actually looked quite similar, but Qiao Sang had spent a considerable amount of time with one of them, so she could still recognize at a glance that the coy one was the Chan Chan Stone she had brought back from the entrance of the ore market.

Unlike its usual listless expression every day, the Chan Chan Stone now had a lively expression, as if a significant change had occurred in its mindset.

After hearing the translation and seeing the Chan Chan Stone’s appearance, Qiao Sang’s mood suddenly brightened for some reason.

“As long as food and accommodation are provided, plus four zi tan crystals?” Qiao Sang asked with a smile.

“Chan Chan!”

Except for the still coy Chan Chan Stone, the other four Chan Chan Stones nodded vigorously at the same time.

Qiao Sang’s smile blossomed: “No problem, welcome.”

Not long after Xiao Xunbao teleported over, Steel Treasure, who had followed, quietly watched the scene from the side, its eyes sparkling with the most fundamental joy.

… …

Late at night, Xiao Xunbao floated around the living room, full of energy, searching for the hidden Chan Chan Stones.

Ever since five more Chan Chan Stones joined the family, it was the happiest.

Of course, Steel Treasure should theoretically be the most benefited, but Steel Treasure’s emotional expressions have always been quite subtle, so its happiness might not be very obvious.

Xiao Xunbao, however, was different; all its emotions were on its face.

Originally, no one would play with it late at night; her Yu Beast Master had to study, Ya had to sleep, Lu either trained or slept, Steel Treasure also slept, and the original Chan Chan Stone watched dramas every day like an exploited worker, in a bad mood, and would even fall asleep halfway through.

Now it was great; five Chan Chan Stones, taking turns on the night shift.

They could even play hide-and-seek with it halfway through their shift; it was simply too awesome.

“Xun!”

After finding all the Chan Chan Stones, Xiao Xunbao put its claws on its hips and laughed triumphantly, looking up at the sky.

Halfway through its laughter, it suddenly realized that Big Brother Ya and the others were still sleeping, and quickly covered its mouth.

Two of the Chan Chan Stones looked at each other.

One’s eyes seemed to say: “Is this also part of the job?”

The other’s eyes said: “Never mind, just do whatever the boss tells us to do.”

“Xiao Xunbao.”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao seemed to think of something, and let out a serious cry, indicating that it was going to train next.

“Chan Chan?”

The three Chan Chan Stones on the night shift immediately showed the enthusiasm characteristic of new employees.

So what were they supposed to do?

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao let out a cheerful cry.

Of course, they were to accompany it in training~

… …

Shortly after class ended the next afternoon, Qiao Sang received an inter-planetary call from Blue Star.

The call was from Song Yuan.

She got straight to the point:

“I’ve already sent the new sunglasses; I just received news that they’ve been delivered to your school’s mailroom. Please check for them and just send me the photos online after you’ve taken them.”

“I know,” Qiao Sang then remembered she still had this task.

“I won’t say more; inter-planetary calls are quite expensive. Take good care of yourself, and just contact me if anything comes up,” Song Yuan said and hung up.

Qiao Sang put her phone back in her pocket, turned around, and headed to the mailroom.

Sainan High School’s mailroom was usually responsible for handling and managing incoming and outgoing documents, as well as receiving express deliveries and temporarily holding takeaways.

While looking for her express delivery in the mailroom, Qiao Sang surprisingly found that she had two packages.

She looked at the shipping address on the express delivery slip:

[Kilun Jewelry Store, 2266 Viter Arcade Street]

Xiao Xunbao’s diamond gloves… Qiao Sang immediately knew what was inside the package.

“Yours,” Qiao Sang handed the package containing the diamond gloves to Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao showed a puzzled expression.

It first shook it, then cried out to Steel Treasure, “Xiao Xunbao~”

Steel Treasure was quick and decisive, casually sweeping its wing downwards.

A sharp flash of light passed, and the package’s wrapping was instantly split in half.

Its control of force was incredibly precise; only the very top of the packaging was opened, without affecting the items inside.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao opened the box, and upon seeing what was inside, its eyes instantly lit up, and it cried out excitedly, eagerly putting on the diamond gloves.

Steel Treasure looked at the item on Xiao Xunbao’s claws and was stunned for a moment, for the first time feeling that its brain was a bit slow.

But it didn’t intend to ask.

It just didn’t know that the second time it would feel unintelligent would come so quickly.

… …

8:30 PM.

Dorm room.

“Yes, lift your head a bit, that’s right, just hold that pose,” Qiao Sang said, holding the camera she borrowed from You Na, taking photos of Ya.

Ya wore the new sunglasses, striking poses confidently.

“Handsome!” Qiao Sang praised without reservation.

“Ya Ya!”

Under her Yu Beast Master’s praise, Ya’s poses became increasingly confident.

After nearly an hour of shooting, Qiao Sang finally put away the camera, satisfied.

“Steel Steel?”

Steel Treasure, who had been watching the shooting process for a long time, finally couldn’t help but cry out in confusion, asking if this was some kind of prop.

“No, it’s not,” Qiao Sang replied while opening the StarNet to upload the photos.

“Steel Steel?” Steel Treasure looked puzzled.

Then what’s the use of this?

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:

“It serves a styling purpose, making you more charming, isn’t that right?”

After speaking, she immediately thought of something and turned her head, smiling:

“If you have any favorite accessories, you can tell me, and I’ll buy them for you.”

“Steel Steel…”

Steel Treasure was confused.

It couldn’t quite understand the meaning of accessories; they couldn’t be food, nor could they make it stronger.

However, it couldn’t be denied that it didn’t seem to dislike them.
