Chapter 72: The most handsome wanted criminal

“Ya!”

Fire Fang Dog barked happily, as if very satisfied with the name.

“That name is so overused. My neighbor’s aunt’s daughter’s boyfriend had a Fire Fang Dog with that exact name,” Bai Yunmiao said.

Qiao Sang fell into deep thought beside her.

She hadn’t really thought about names.

In this society, not all Yu Beast Masters give their Pets names.

Some Yu Beast Masters give their Pets names that are more like online usernames, not formal ones.

The purpose is to differentiate themselves from the general public and attract attention.

Others will find masters specializing in naming Pets, who will name them according to their attributes, birth month and year, and birthplace.

But more often, they simply pick a random word from the species name and add a repeated character, and that’s it.

However, this repeated name becomes awkward as the Pet grows.

Because Pets evolve.

Regardless of how the Yu Beast Master feels, many Pets become dissatisfied with their original names after evolving.

For example, the Cotton Section Worm.

Many Yu Beast Masters call the Cotton Section Worm “Chong Chong,” but the evolved forms of the Cotton Section Worm, such as Ba Xue Butterfly and Ba Du Butterfly, have already undergone a perfect metamorphosis.

At this point, they would not be too happy to be called “Chong Chong.”

But “Chong Chong” has been used for a long time and has become a habit, so it would be awkward to change to “Die Die” now.

Because of this, some Yu Beast Masters simply call their Pets by their species name.

After all, it’s a contracted relationship, and the Pet clearly knows who is referring to them.

Calling them by their species name is perfectly fine normally, but it’s different if a Pet gets an endorsement; they definitely need a name of their own.

“Let’s call him Ya Bao,” Qiao Sang said.

Since she was going to give him a name, she might as well choose one that wouldn’t sound out of place even if Fire Fang Dog evolved later.

“Ya Ya!”

Fire Fang Dog protested with a bark.

It still preferred to be called “Hanggang’s Most Handsome Ya.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Calling you Ya Bao means you are my treasure. Don’t you like it?” Qiao Sang pretended to be disappointed.

Fire Fang Dog froze for a moment, then quickly reacted and began to comfort its Yu Beast Master.

“Ya!”

“Ya Ya!”

“Ya!”

It liked it! Ya Bao it was!

“That’s good then.” Qiao Sang’s disappointed expression immediately vanished.

Bai Yunmiao was accustomed to this sight.

Song Yuan, however, was stunned for a long time.

She truly lived up to her reputation as someone who dared to contract a Fire-type Pet as her first. She could even make a Fire-type Pet comfort her in return…

What a talent…

The matter of the name was thus settled.

…

Qingcheng Jiayuan.

When Ye Xiangting returned home, she saw a table full of dishes, and there were also Speed Lure Fruits, which Flying-type Pets absolutely loved.

These Speed Lure Fruits cost 1500 alliance coins each, and she usually couldn’t bear to buy them.

Ye Xiangting frowned, her first thought being that her ex-husband had somehow found out about their daughter getting into Saint Water Middle School and contacted her.

Just as she was lost in thought, Qiao Sang walked out of her room.

“Mom, you’re finally back. The dishes I made are all cold.”

Ye Xiangting was startled, then hesitantly asked, “You made all of this?”

“Yes, to celebrate me getting first place in the Bai Xin Competition.” Qiao Sang walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

“Ya.”

Fire Fang Dog then ran out of the room and jumped onto Qiao Sang’s lap.

First place in the Bai Xin Competition…

Ye Xiangting was stunned again.

She naturally knew her daughter had been participating in the Bai Xin Competition recently.

But she had thought it was just for fun, to join in the excitement.

And she got first place?!

Were all the participants middle schoolers who had just graduated, like her daughter…

It seemed even so, first place was still very impressive…

“I won 200,000 alliance coins in prize money, and I bought some Speed Lure Fruits. Fat Home Dove, eat them,” Qiao Sang said, pushing the Speed Lure Fruits towards Fat Home Dove.

“Jiu!”

Fat Home Dove happily flapped its wings.

On the way back, it had been drooling at the Speed Lure Fruits on the table, but it didn’t know who bought them, so it hadn’t touched them.

Now that it knew its little master bought them, Fat Home Dove had no more reservations and immediately picked up a Speed Lure Fruit and began to eat it.

Throughout dinner, Ye Xiangting listened to her daughter’s words and felt it was all unreal.

200,000 alliance coins…

Pet eggs under 500,000…

Should I find someone to talk about this…

7:22 PM.

Qiao Sang returned to her room, turned on her computer, and prepared to research her second Pet. She habitually checked the trending topics first.

The trending topics were all about the latest news from the Interstellar Cup.

[The True Dark Horse, Felinus!]

[Akanishi Yuki Regrettably Leaves the Interstellar Cup]

[Dream Demon Spirit Achieves Epic Feat of Three Consecutive Wins!]

[Blue Star Yu Beast Masters Completely Defeated]

[This Afternoon, Eight Individuals from Blue Star Who Illegally Entered Tian Yuan Star Were Apprehended]

Tian Yuan Star was the planet where this Interstellar Cup was being held.

In previous Interstellar Cups, there were always a few people who tried to sneak in to watch the live matches and got caught, and this time was no exception.

Only this time, the people who snuck in were from Blue Star.

She didn’t even need to click to know that the comments would be full of骂声 (cursing), likely accusing the illegal entrants of shaming Blue Star.

The Interstellar Cup was a sensitive period.

When the participating Yu Beast Masters were averaged out, some countries didn’t even have one.

Everyone’s sense of honor was no longer limited to country-to-country, but had risen to a competition between planets.

Qiao Sang continued to scroll down, her gaze quickly stopping on a particular trending topic.

Among so many trending topics about the Interstellar Cup, one that didn’t belong to this topic stood out particularly.

[A-Class Wanted Order, The Most Handsome Fugitive]

Qiao Sang clicked on it.

She swore, she definitely wasn’t attracted by the words “most handsome” when she clicked.

The man in the wanted poster had no beauty filters, with cold white skin, deep-set eyes, and a pair of profound phoenix eyes, yet they were as deep as a cold pool, like stagnant water.

His crimson lips were tightly pressed, giving off an aura of ‘do not approach,’ but it was undeniable that he had an exceptionally handsome face.

Among fugitives, he certainly lived up to the title of “most handsome.”

Qiao Sang scrolled down.

[Zhou Xian (Male, 28 years old, from Xianglin, Zhejiang) and accomplices murdered researcher Tan Yuxin and stole confidential research materials]

Further down.

Qiao Sang’s breath hitched.

5 million alliance coins!

This big brother is so valuable!

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but scroll back up to look at the wanted poster a few more times.

Since this big brother was from Xianglin, Zhejiang, it was possible he might return to Qiao Sang’s Old Home to visit.

They were both in the same province, what if they ran into each other…

Someone with such a high bounty was naturally very dangerous, but if she encountered him, she wouldn’t have to act herself; she could call the Police Station!

Then there would be an information fee to collect.

Although such a chance was comparable to winning the lottery, as a person, one must have dreams.

After memorizing the man’s appearance, Qiao Sang looked at the trending topics for a while longer before beginning to research Water-type, Grass-type, and Flying-type Pets.

Regarding the attribute of her second Pet, her priority order was Grass-type, then Water-type, and finally Flying-type.

Grass-type Pets, needless to say, had no flaws except for being expensive.

While not many Water-type Pets could fully exert their strength on land, the possibility of them learning healing moves was what Qiao Sang currently desired.

The final Flying-type Pet was purely to fulfill her wish of flying into the sky.
