Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 717: mood swap

Qiao Sang was stunned when she saw Ghost Sense leading Ice Kexilu into the living room.

Although they had only been together for less than a day, she already had some understanding of Ghost Sense’s personality.

It was the type that was quite timid, basically always staying by Ice Kexilu’s side. Even when told to search for despair emotional energy, it would quietly sniff in place, never moving a step.

Unless Ice Kexilu moved first.

It was truly unusual to see Ghost Sense floating in front with Ice Kexilu following behind, as it was now.

Moreover, from Ice Kexilu’s expression, it seemed a little excited…

At this moment, Ghost Sense stopped beside Xiao Xunbao, then its eyes glowed purple, interrupting Qiao Sang’s thoughts.

Wait, was it swapping emotions?

Qiao Sang saw Xiao Xunbao’s despairing expression and suddenly remembered Ghost Sense’s task, immediately finding it both funny and frustrating.

She never expected the first source of despairing emotion to come from Xiao Xunbao…

“Gangan.”

Ghost Sense’s eyes glowed purple.

At the same time, two short toes extended from each of its claws.

Soon, two wisps of white mist rose separately from Xiao Xunbao and Ice Kexilu’s heads.

If one looked closely, they would find that the white mist above Xiao Xunbao’s head was much denser.

The two wisps of white mist swapped places.

When the relatively thinner white mist flowed into Xiao Xunbao’s body, Xiao Xunbao’s despairing expression froze, and it lifted its head from the computer, appearing somewhat bewildered.

Its Substitute also looked up with it.

“Xunxun!”

Xiao Xunbao and its Substitute looked at each other, then showed an expression of “if not now, when?” and began furiously typing on the keyboard.

They had to seize the moment while they could still play!

“Ice Ke…”

Ice Kexilu, on the other hand, was first stunned, then, perhaps realizing something, its tail drooped, and cold air emanated from its body, looking utterly dejected.

This skill is so amazing… Qiao Sang watched the emotional shift in Xiao Xunbao and Ice Kexilu from the side, genuinely marveling.

One should know, Ice Kexilu had never shown such an expression before.

At this moment, Qiao Sang clearly realized that Ice Kexilu’s despair was promising.

Liu Yao had arrived beside them at some point.

He watched the scene of emotional swapping, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly spoke:

“I remember there’s also a Pet on our Blue Star that can cause emotional changes in its target.”

“What is it?” Qiao Sang asked with interest.

“It’s called Ji Si Dan (Gis Egg), a Pet from the Bainy Nation,” Liu Yao explained. “I’ve never seen it in reality, only read about it in data. It’s said that it can amplify the target’s emotions to their strongest degree.”

!!! Qiao Sang was stunned, her mind reeling with turmoil, filled with thoughts of Dr. Dorarisa’s research on Pet emotional energy vibration frequency.

If this research succeeded, wouldn’t it change the fluctuations of Pet emotional energy?

And Ji Si Dan’s skill, strictly speaking, also changes emotional fluctuations.

Could it be that the Ji Si Dan skill actually changes the emotional energy vibration frequency?

Various thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.

She couldn’t help but ponder:

If she first let Ghost Sense swap despairing emotions to Ice Kexilu, and after this energy dissipated, Ice Kexilu accumulated some despairing emotions it produced itself, then used Ji Si Dan to amplify this despairing emotion, wouldn’t it directly meet the emotional requirements for evolution?

While she was thinking, Liu Yao added:

“Unfortunately, Ji Si Dan is not from our Dragon Country, and it seems to be monopolized by a family in the Bainy Nation. Otherwise, with this Pet, Ice Kexilu’s evolution would definitely be much smoother.”

From another country, and monopolized… Qiao Sang immediately understood that even if she returned to Blue Star, she would likely never see this Pet.

“It is indeed a pity,” Qiao Sang sighed.

Liu Yao didn’t stay long, taking a cup of homemade coffee back to his room.

Qiao Sang sat on the sofa, observing Ice Kexilu’s state.

“Ice Ke…”

Ice Kexilu was currently in a low-pressure atmosphere.

Its emotions had changed, but its memories hadn’t.

It understood that its current state was due to its emotions being swapped, but it still uncontrollably recalled many things.

Could it really evolve smoothly?

Tooth Treasure and the others had made such great progress; if it never caught up to them, would its sense of presence become increasingly low?

Would its Yu Beast Master no longer send it out in future competitions?

Was it truly suitable for battle?

It used to be able to battle Tooth Treasure, but now the gap was growing, and it could feel that Tooth Treasure had lost interest in battling it.

Xiao Xunbao was so lazy, yet it was still stronger than it.

Even Steel Treasure, who joined last, felt like it was about to catch up to it.

In a while, would it become the fourth strongest?

“Ice Ke…”

The more Ice Kexilu thought, the more despairing it became.

“Gangan.”

At this moment, Ghost Sense called out, indicating that time was up.

Two visible white mists rose separately from Xiao Xunbao and Ice Kexilu’s heads, swapping places.

The mist sank and disappeared.

“Xunxun…”

Xiao Xunbao, who was frantically typing on the keyboard, froze, looked at Ghost Sense, then at its Yu Beast Master. Its emotions surged back, and it remembered that today was the last day with no time limit for playing on the computer. It pouted, wiped away non-existent tears, and showed an expression of “I must be strong,” continuing to type.

“Ice Ke…”

Ice Kexilu’s own emotions returned. Remembering how it had been just now, it felt a little excited, because it felt that it truly was despairing.

But soon, its emotions became slightly low again.

Although it had been influenced by despairing emotions to think of those problems earlier, such things could indeed happen.

If it really became the fourth strongest…

It seemed Ghost Sense was indeed used correctly. Dr. Dorarisa was right; emotional swapping by Ghost Sense, even if swapped back later, would leave residual emotions, thus creating emotions one didn’t originally have… Qiao Sang noticed Ice Kexilu’s state, and her eyes lit up.

Then she thought of something and looked at Xiao Xunbao, who was playing on the computer.

All of Xiao Xunbao’s emotions came and went quickly; making it feel despair seemed very simple… If she could continue to exploit it… Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then said:

“Xiao Xunbao, Yu Liandun University has special classes for Pets to attend alone. I want to sign you up.”

Xiao Xunbao: “!!!”

A bolt from the blue! Struck by lightning!

Xiao Xunbao instantly froze, and the computer in front of it no longer seemed appealing.

Its Substitute, due to the main body’s overly turbulent emotions and unstable energy, disappeared from its spot.

“Xunxun…”

Xiao Xunbao felt as if ten thousand arrows pierced its heart, staggering a step, its body unstable.

“Gangan!”

Ghost Sense, nearby, its eyes lit up, turning purple again.

Soon, white mist reappeared above Xiao Xunbao and Ice Kexilu’s heads.

This time, the white mist produced by Xiao Xunbao was much denser than before.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang silently apologized to Xiao Xunbao in her heart.

Three minutes later, when the white mist swapped back, Xiao Xunbao looked at its Yu Beast Master, its eyes teary, showing an expression of “Can I not go?”

Qiao Sang smiled and said, “You can.”

Actually, she had just said that on a whim.

No choice, Xiao Xunbao’s thoughts were simply too easy to read.

She had only been at the school for two days; she hadn’t even looked into whether Pets had separate classes or not.

“Xunxun!”

Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then showed an excited expression and pounced into its Yu Beast Master’s arms.

It knew it!

It knew its Yu Beast Master loved it!

“Ice Ke…”

On the other side, Ice Kexilu, whose emotions were becoming increasingly low, turned and returned to its room.
