Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 745: Wither (2-in-1)

The page redirected and quickly provided an answer:

“If you want it to be waterproof, you need to use special waterproof materials.”

Xiao Xunbao aside, Luyana is in the water every day, and Steel Treasure is often held by Qiao Sang, so they must be waterproof… She would mention it to President Li later… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she put away her phone.

Suddenly, a voice abruptly broke the silence on the street:

“It seems you two are having a pleasant chat.”

Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the voice.

She saw a woman, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, appear where there had been no one by the wall corner.

She was about 1.68 meters tall, wearing a light blue, ruffle-collared long dress, with slightly curly blonde hair, and light blue eyes that looked at Qiao Sang with a playful smile.

“You are?” Qiao Sang’s tone rose, expressing her confusion.

“Liz North, Dean of the Medical College.” The woman walked over.

Dean of the Medical College? So young?! Qiao Sang’s eyes were full of shock.

Were there any people that young among the nine big shots at the freshman welcoming area?

She had no impression!

Dean Liz instantly understood the meaning in Qiao Sang’s eyes and asked with a smile:

“Do you think I’m too young to be a dean?”

Qiao Sang was about to nod when she heard her say meaningfully:

“Because our Medical College has Pets that can change a person’s mental state and appearance.”

Qiao Sang felt she understood: “So you are not in your original appearance right now?”

Ever since she knew the other party was a dean, she subconsciously changed “you” to “you” (formal).

In fact, it wasn’t that she hadn’t doubted the other party’s words, after all, in her impression, the dean of the Medical College should have an image that made the public trust her, but the person in front of her looked neither mature nor steady, nor did she have a trustworthy appearance.

However, this was Yu Liandun University, so no one would be audacious enough to impersonate a dean of a college.

Most importantly, she knew that the deans of other colleges would appear before her sooner or later.

“This is my own appearance; I just maintain around 25 years old for a short period through my Pet’s skill.” Dean Liz subtly glanced at Qiao Sang’s backpack: “Interested in a chat?”

One minute later, Qiao Sang reappeared in the original private room at Yiwei Restaurant, only with a different dining companion.

“Order whatever you want to eat.” Dean Liz said.

Qiao Sang refused: “No need, I’m a bit full…”

After Dean Liz casually ordered a few dishes, she finally got to the point:

“I heard you have an Ice Aipalu?”

Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation.

Dean Liz said: “I don’t know much about the Pets on Blue Star, and the Ice Aipalu was only recently mentioned to me…”

She paused, then continued:

“Someone told me that the Beginner form of Ice Aipalu, Water Luyana, has the innate skill Healing Light.”

“I want to know, does your Ice Aipalu have it too?”

This person came for Luyana… Qiao Sang nodded: “Yes.”

Dean Liz’s eyes lit up slightly:

“Healing Light is like a divine skill for patients. Pets with this skill are born to save lives and heal injuries.”

She wouldn’t be trying to morally bind me, would she… Qiao Sang vigilantly said: “Luyana and I are not interested in saving lives and Healing injuries.”

“Ice Ai…”

Luyana, who was about to stick her head out to express her dissatisfaction, heard her Yu Beast Master’s words and retracted her head.

Dean Liz was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said: “It seems not only President Li and I have looked for you.”

Quite sharp… Qiao Sang said nothing, tacitly agreeing.

At this moment, a meticulously dressed Pet walked in, carrying two cups of coffee, and placed them on the table.

Dean Liz picked up the coffee, took a sip, then put it down, looked deeply at Qiao Sang, and said:

“Since you’re not interested in those words, I’ll tell you something practical. I’m not here to poach you for the Medical College, but to make a deal with you.”

A deal? Qiao Sang became interested and asked: “What is it?”

Dean Liz held up a finger.

Qiao Sang and Steel Treasure looked at the finger simultaneously, puzzled.

“100 points per time.” Dean Liz said: “I have many patients with incurable diseases here. You cure one, and I’ll give you 100 points.”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

100 points per time?!

“Steel Treasure?”

Steel Treasure was still puzzled.

Are 100 points worth a lot?

Qiao Sang felt a stir in her heart, but she didn’t agree immediately. Instead, she asked: “With so many people in the Medical College, aren’t there any Pets with Ultra-level skills like Healing Light?”

She believed other schools didn’t have them, but this was Yu Liandun University, ranked third in the galaxy, one of the top Medical Colleges in the world. It should gather the most amazing talents in the medical field.

Their Pets couldn’t possibly not have Super-level Healing skills.

Dean Liz became serious:

“Of course, there are medical professors and students with Super-level Healing skills, but even if Healing skills belong to the same Super-level, their Healing directions are different.”

“Many of our students’ Pets’ Super-level skills are not like Healing Light, which can solve the status problems of living beings.”

“Some specialize in treating aging, some specialize in treating congenital genetic diseases.”

“Healing Light cannot cure these two types.”

“And they cannot replace the function of Healing Light.”

When she got to this point, she sighed:

“Our college does have two professors whose Pets have Healing Light, but unfortunately, the proficiency is really difficult to improve. Until now, those two Pets are only at the Minor Accomplishment Level.”

“I believe you also know that Healing Light’s time and energy consumption vary with the difficulty of the treatment.”

She had guessed this, but wasn’t clear about it… Qiao Sang silently responded in her mind.

“Ordinary diseases don’t require Healing Light.” Dean Liz continued: “And those that do require Healing Light are all incurable diseases.”

“Currently, a Minor Accomplishment Level Healing Light can treat one terminally ill patient per day at most.”

“There are so many terminally ill patients, but the number of Pets with Healing Light is limited. This is also why I’m looking to make a deal with you.”

Is Healing Light difficult to improve? When she first contracted Luyana, its Healing Light had already reached the Perfected Level… Qiao Sang was greatly shocked.

At that time, Luyana didn’t even have a Gold Finger to use yet…

It was understandable that a Minor Accomplishment Level Healing Light could only treat one terminally ill patient per day.

No matter what, the most severe injury Luyana had treated was that lady with brain damage who was in a coma. After treating her, Luyana was noticeably much weaker…

And at that time, Luyana’s Healing Light had already reached the Profound Level…

To be honest, she had never seen a Minor Accomplishment Level Healing Light…

As she was thinking, Dean Liz’s voice came:

“If you have any other requests, feel free to make them.”

Even if ordinary people had incurable diseases, they had no ability to find these people from Yu Liandun Medical College for treatment. Those who could find them for treatment were all from the top circles… Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, and she said:

“I don’t want points, I want money.”

Her unlimited card was about to expire, and the cash from two investments hadn’t been settled yet. This might be an opportunity to make money.

Although points were important, what she needed most right now was cash.

“Alright.” Dean Liz readily said: “How much money do you want?”

For people in these top circles, money was just a bunch of numbers. 100,000 per time would definitely be too low, 1,000,000 should be more reasonable… After a brief thought, Qiao Sang extended a finger:

“This much per time.”

Dean Liz glanced at it and nodded without hesitation: “10 million it is.”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

“Do you have any other requests?” Dean Liz asked again.

“No.” Qiao Sang quickly shook her head.

Dean Liz pulled out her phone and said: “Then let’s exchange contact information. We can set a time later, and I’ll send you the patient’s information.”

“Okay!” Qiao Sang quickly pulled out her phone.

After adding contact information, Dean Liz suddenly remembered something and asked:

“May I ask, what is the proficiency of your Ice Aipalu’s Healing Light?”

Convenient, very convenient… Qiao Sang replied: “Profound Meaning.”

How much?!

Dean Liz was completely stunned by these two words.

Qiao Sang added: “So actually, I can treat more terminally ill patients per day, and I’d be perfectly fine with it.”

Regret!

So much regret!

Dean Liz was simply heartbroken!

She spoke too soon!

She should have poached Qiao Sang for the Medical College!

Yu Liandun Internal Library.

Qiao Sang left the restaurant, remembered that she didn’t know enough about most rare Pets, and came here.

The library was hemispherical, with bookshelves arranged on both sides of the circular hall, extending from the stairs to the seats up to the ceiling, each level filled with books.

Qiao Sang briefly asked the administrator and then came to a screen, clicked on the keyword search on the left, and entered: [Rare Pet]. Immediately, a list of related books appeared.

Qiao Sang glanced at them and finally clicked on “Rare Pet: Complete Edition.”

One minute later, a mechanical Pet, appearing to carry a tray on its back, flew over from mid-air, flapping its mechanical wings, bringing the book.

“Thank you.” Qiao Sang said, taking the book from the tray, and went to the registration desk, saying: “I want to borrow a book.”

The administrator looked up, glanced at the book’s cover, and said: “1 point per day.”

I still have over 400 points… Qiao Sang, with a generous air, pulled out her student card: “Okay.”

Leaving the library, Qiao Sang checked the time on her phone and turned to look at Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Before she even spoke, Xiao Xunbao understood, and its eyes glowed blue.

Qiao Sang’s vision went black.

The next second, she found herself in the living room of the villa.

The rich aroma of food wafted into her nose.

Qiao Sang looked towards the dining table and saw hot food and several plates of Energy Pills laid out.

Vice Principal… I already ate dinner… Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then came to the dining table and picked up her chopsticks.

“Steel Treasure!”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Steel Treasure and Xiao Xunbao simultaneously rushed to the side of the Energy Pills, lowering their heads and happily eating.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang put down her chopsticks, formed a hand seal, and summoned Steel Treasure.

“Ice Ai.”

At this moment, Luyana called out, indicating whether going for treatment would delay her training time.

“How could it?” Qiao Sang placed Steel Treasure’s portion of Energy Pills in front of it and said: “Your Healing Light has already reached the Profound Meaning Level, treatment is an instant thing, very quick.”

“Ice Ai?”

Luyana was silent for a moment, showing a puzzled expression.

Is money very important?

“Of course.” Qiao Sang patiently replied: “With money, you can have better resources and grow quickly.”

“Ice Ai.”

Luyana nodded, indicating understanding, then went to the Energy Pills and began to eat.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure habitually went to open the door.

Qiao Sang stopped it: “You guys eat, I’ll get it.”

Saying that, she went to open the door.

Standing at the door was Dean Virginia of the News Academy.

“Good evening.” Dean Virginia smiled and walked in.

“Good evening.” Qiao Sang said, looking outside: “Isn’t Senior Sister Yiwena coming?”

“I let her go do her own thing.” Dean Virginia said as she stepped inside: “She just became a graduate student, and she has many things to do. Teaching Ghost Ring King…”

Her voice abruptly stopped.

Dean Virginia looked at Ghost Ring King, whose entire body was covered in mysterious white Spiritual Marks, and raised an eyebrow: “It seems President Li of the Lingwen Academy has been to see you.”

Goodness, is there anything special about the Spiritual Marks drawn by President Li that she recognized them at a glance… Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation:

“This afternoon after school, I participated in an event of the Lingwen Society, and he was there.”

Dean Virginia didn’t reveal President Li’s intention and instead asked:

“Has Dean Gilbert of your college been to see you?”

Qiao Sang shook her head: “No.”

A flicker of confusion crossed Dean Virginia’s eyes.

It shouldn’t be, logically speaking, Dean Gilbert should be the one who wants to keep Qiao Sang the most, so why hasn’t he started acting yet…

Late at night.

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue, intently staring at the black flower on the coffee table.

In the dim living room, the Spiritual Marks on its body faintly glowed with white light.

“Chan Chan?”

Suddenly, a Chan Chan Stone next to it nudged Xiao Xunbao’s arm, its face full of curiosity, indicating, “What are these white things on you?”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao was startled, its eyes returned to their original golden-yellow, and it looked at the Chan Chan Stone with an expression of “Don’t touch me again.”

This thing could increase its comprehension, allowing it to learn Space Lockdown faster. If it rubbed off, it would be over!

“Chan Chan?”

The Chan Chan Stone showed a puzzled expression.

What is comprehension?

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao pointed to its head with its paw.

It means it can make its brain smarter.

“Chan Chan.”

The Chan Chan Stone looked utterly unconvinced.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao argued with it.

It was true, it already felt like it was about to learn it!

“Chan Chan…”

The Chan Chan Stone saw Xiao Xunbao’s serious expression and somewhat believed it.

Its eyes darted around, and then it thought of something, quietly went to Qiao Sang’s bedroom, tiptoed onto the desk, picked up a pen, and drew several strokes on itself.

In the water tank.

Luyana half-opened one eye, saw the Chan Chan Stone’s actions, and then closed it again.

In the living room.

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue again, intently staring at the black flower.

Confirming the surrounding coordinates… then connecting them…

Xiao Xunbao recalled what the human had said, and then remembered the Pet that demonstrated this move tonight, and the blue light in its eyes grew even more intense.

At the same time, an invisible Barrier gradually began to enclose the black flower from around it, moving upwards…

Just as it was about to converge at the highest point, Xiao Xunbao showed a hesitant expression.

The invisible Barrier instantly disappeared.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao didn’t give up, its expression becoming serious again.

The invisible Barrier once again converged upwards from around the black flower.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao dared not be careless.

The white patterns on its body glowed faintly.

Time passed by second by second.

Suddenly, on the coffee table, the black flower, which was still in full bloom, withered in an instant.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao was first stunned, then its eyes returned to golden-yellow, and it excitedly floated towards the ceiling, spinning around several times in excitement.

A gentle breeze blew in from outside the window, and the curtains swayed slightly.

The withered petals, which had still been formed on the coffee table, scattered.
