Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 71: name?

Qiao Sang was still in shock.

The Fierce Arrow Fire Owl that had carried her there turned around handsomely and left.

It truly was a case of accomplishing the deed, then dusting off one’s clothes and leaving, deeply burying one’s功 and fame.

Hou Xiangyu, still sitting in B Zone of the audience, watched Qiao Sang and Wei Wenya being carried up by the Fierce Arrow Fire Owl and the Four-Way Swallow respectively, completely dumbfounded.

Had the award ceremony started?

What about him?

He was at least a third-place winner, right?

Why didn’t they come to carry him?

He had no presence at all!

Could they expect him to walk up?!

Before he could complain much more in his mind, his body suddenly lost balance and appeared in the air.

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah!”

Qiao Sang looked at Hou Xiangyu, who was being carried onto the stage by a Zhuang Tong Flying Owl that flew in from outside the venue, her expression dazed.

So this is what it feels like to watch someone else being carried onto the stage…

How embarrassing…

Qiao Sang made up her mind.

If the Host asked her to give an acceptance speech later, she would definitely curse a few words in front of so many people.

The prizes started being awarded from third place, and it was soon her turn.

The first-place prize was 200,000 alliance coins plus a Pet egg.

However, what was handed to Qiao Sang was not a Pet egg, but a voucher for choosing any Pet egg from a Pet base.

The Host was generous!

Only then did Qiao Sang remember that the platform’s introduction of the first-place prize stated it was a random Pet egg.

She had thought the Host initially didn’t announce the egg’s species to add a bit of suspense, but she hadn’t expected them to let her choose one directly from a Pet base.

Although this voucher could only be used to select a Pet egg not exceeding 500,000 in value.

But this was infinitely better than not having a choice and just having one handed to her.

A Yu Beast Master only has so many contract slots, and each one requires careful consideration before making a decision.

If there were no choice due to limitations, there would naturally be no way, but if there was a choice, one would certainly choose what they liked.

Qiao Sang’s preferred second contract targets were Water-type, Grass-type, and Flying-type Pets.

With this amount of money, the options became much more numerous.

“Qiao Sang, do you have anything to say about winning first place this time?” the Host asked.

“First, I want to thank my mother; it was her support that allowed me to contract my Fire Fang Dog. Secondly, I want to thank my Fire Fang Dog, who has always been with me; without it, I wouldn’t have won this competition. Finally, I want to thank the Host…”

After the photo session of the award ceremony ended, Qiao Sang called out to Sha Duo, who was also in the photo: “Mr. Sha Duo, I have a friend who is your fan.”

Qiao Sang returned to the audience.

The final segment of the Bai Xin Competition was to draw five lucky winners, but Bai Yunmiao was not drawn.

“Qiao Genius, are you going to check out that Pet egg right away, or will you wait until the yu beast codex has a second page?” Bai Yunmiao asked with a smile, showing no disappointment.

“I should go to the Pet base tomorrow to check it out,” Qiao Sang replied.

Bai Yunmiao wanted to ask further, but then saw Qiao Genius pull a piece of paper from her bag and hand it to her.

“I just got an autograph from Sha Duo for you.”

Bai Yunmiao was stunned for a long time, then took the paper and looked down at it in disbelief.

A moment later.

“Ah! Qiao Genius, I love you to death!” Bai Yunmiao pounced on Qiao Sang.

“Ya!”

The Fire Fang Dog, caught in the middle, let out a cry.

Bai Yunmiao quickly let go, afraid that the Fire Fang Dog would give her a blow.

A cafe near the Hunter’s Garden.

The warm, atmospheric lighting inside the cafe cast on the walls, creating a cozy and tranquil ambiance.

A completely pink Pet, with its two hands supporting a tray holding three cups of coffee on its head, came to a table of female customers sitting by the glass window.

“Gift.”

It placed the coffees one by one on the table, its slender, vertical, oval-shaped brown eyes narrowing with a smile.

“Who is this?” Song Yuan asked.

“This is my friend, Bai Yunmiao,” Qiao Sang introduced.

“Hello.” Bai Yunmiao kept a straight face, pretending to be mature and steady.

Qiao Sang was a little helpless; ever since she gave Bai Yunmiao Sha Duo’s autograph, she clearly felt that Bai Yunmiao had automatically elevated their friendship.

Topics she never discussed or asked about before were now spouted all at once.

The two took different buses home, and a few days ago, they had gone their separate ways after leaving the Pet arena.

But this time, when they accidentally chatted about going to discuss a collaboration later, Bai Yunmiao, worried, insisted on coming along, saying that people’s hearts were sinister, and at only 15 years old, she was easily deceived.

“Your friend is really beautiful; sure enough, beauties’ friends are all beauties,” Song Yuan praised.

“Not at all.” Bai Yunmiao immediately blushed, lowering her head and fidgeting.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She gets like this from just a little praise; she’s the one who’s easily deceived, right?

After a few pleasantries, Song Yuan got to the point.

“This is the contract I drafted; please take a look first. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, you can tell me.”

Qiao Sang took the contract and read it carefully.

3 minutes later.

“This endorsement can only be signed for half a year,” Qiao Sang looked up and said.

“Why? Are you not satisfied with the terms I offered?” Song Yuan frowned.

The terms she offered were already very good. Qiao Sang had won first place in the Bai Xin Competition.

But this first place would only be a traffic gimmick to attract customers for a few days before the hype faded.

Subsequent promotion and packaging would still rely on her.

An annual endorsement fee of 600,000, she had offered that price because of Qiao Sang’s potential and her desire to build a good relationship.

“Because the Fire Fang Dog will evolve in half a year, and the contract is signed for the Fire Fang Dog, not the Burning Fire Dog. By then, if the image appearing in half a year is not that of the Fire Fang Dog, I should be in breach of contract,” Qiao Sang said meticulously.

To endorse sunglasses, they needed to shoot a best-selling product every quarter. In half a year, the Fire Fang Dog would definitely not be able to appear for the shooting of this product.

Song Yuan: “…”

Evolve in half a year?

Who gave her that confidence…

The title of first place in the Bai Xin Competition, perhaps…

She contracted a Fire Fang Dog, not a Cotton Section Worm…

For a moment, Song Yuan regretted approaching Qiao Sang about the endorsement collaboration.

Often, some new Yu Beast Masters, after winning against a few people and achieving a small success, easily lose touch with reality, only to sober up after a long time.

She hadn’t expected Qiao Sang to be this type of person too.

“Half a year it is then. If there are no other issues, I’ll print the official contract according to this,” Song Yuan nodded.

Although she had developed some prejudice against Qiao Sang in her heart, she still smiled on the surface, no different from usual.

Qiao Sang, however, sensitively noticed that the other party’s tone had become much colder.

But she didn’t have any particular thoughts.

She simply thought it was because the other party was dissatisfied that she only signed for half a year.

After the contract was finalized, the three chatted for a few more minutes, and Song Yuan suddenly asked, “Oh, by the way, what’s the Fire Fang Dog’s name?”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then hesitated, “Name?”

Song Yuan: “…”

Bai Yunmiao turned her head and smiled, “She’s asking what other name you’ve given the Fire Fang Dog, but you probably haven’t given it one yet.”

Song Yuan interjected, “That won’t do. We’ll need to do promotions then, and we can’t keep calling it Fire Fang Dog Fire Fang Dog. It needs another name to distinguish it from other Fire Fang Dogs. How about ‘Hanggang’s Most Handsome Ya!’?”
