Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 79: Filming
7:45 PM.
Qiao Sang sat at her desk, planning out the rest of her summer vacation.
It was only July 6th, and usually, high school started in early September.
She still had over a month and a half.
Fire Fang Dog’s Points had already reached 456. If all of them were added to its level, and assuming a normal increase of 2 Points per day, it would only take 176 days to evolve.
She could have Fire Fang Dog increase its Points through battles and complete an evolution during the summer vacation.
As for the Raging Flames characteristic, she had Fire Fang Dog try to activate it in the morning, but it couldn’t be used 100% like a skill.
She had also gained some understanding of characteristics.
The Alliance’s characteristic evaluation grades ranged from E to S, a total of six grades.
This wasn’t judged by whether it was useful or not, but by whether the utilization of that characteristic had reached its peak.
It was somewhat similar to judging skill proficiency.
If it was a mandatory characteristic.
For example, Moon Rush Grass sleeping in the rain; this was an innate E-grade characteristic that couldn’t be changed.
Because it couldn’t be self-controlled.
Many experienced Yu Beast Masters would consider the characteristics a Pet possessed when forming a contract.
Qiao Sang felt that the yu beast codex’s data and grade evaluation for characteristics might be based on the Alliance’s standards.
If Fire Fang Dog’s Raging Flames characteristic required Points or had to be activated by trying when it was in poor condition, she thought she could put it aside for now and let nature take its course.
After all, if future battles always required Raging Flames to turn the tide, she didn’t think she would be considered a qualified Yu Beast Master.
She experimented with skills this morning.
Since they were still in the residential area, Fire Fang Dog could only practice Fire Fang using its clones.
If it used clones to train other skills at the same time, it would probably be directly reported by the residents resting downstairs in the community.
5 clones, a total of 40 Fire Fangs released.
This was the current limit of Fire Fang Dog’s internal energy.
It was much better than when it could only release about 20 Fire Fangs a day after replenishing energy at the beginning.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was an unexpected surprise.
According to her original plan, her second Pet in hand should still be an egg.
However, she wasn’t averse to such unexpected events.
She even felt that a few more such surprises wouldn’t be a bad thing…
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was still a Beginner young Pet.
It would be too inhumane to make it train directly.
She could let it enjoy its childhood more; it wouldn’t be too late to train it a month later…
Summer vacation time still had to be focused on Fire Fang Dog…
Under the light, the young girl rested one hand on her chin and held a pen in the other, writing intermittently.
In the living room, three Pets were playing hide-and-seek.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, invisible, floated openly on the TV.
Watching Fire Fang Dog and Fat Home Dove aimlessly searching in the kitchen, it put its two short claws, curled into fists, to its mouth, feeling an inexplicable sense of unique excitement.
In another room, a phone call was still ongoing.
“Hello, is that second sister-in-law? No, nothing, just calling to chat. My Sangsang…”
…
The next day.
With Little Treasure Hunting Ghost sitting on Qiao Sang’s head and Fire Fang Dog in her arms, she set off for Jin Yu Building, where she had arranged to meet Song Yuan.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost held its milk bottle and drank on Qiao Sang’s head, its eyes curiously observing the surroundings.
Whenever passersby’s gazes met its, they would flicker and avoid, looking away first.
This made it feel particularly fun, so it deliberately sought out people to stare at until they looked back at it.
In contrast, Fire Fang Dog appeared much more mature and steady, unlike its usual self.
Because it knew today was an important day.
Its Yu Beast Master had said.
As long as today’s photos turned out well, it could drink as much milk as it wanted in the future! The new little brother’s milk powder money might also depend on this earning!
Jin Yu Building, 18th floor.
“CEO Song, the person you arranged to meet has arrived,” a young woman in professional attire knocked on the door and reported.
“Let her in,” Song Yuan said, picking up the contract she had already prepared.
The young woman did not leave, standing there, appearing as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.
She remembered that her boss had arranged to meet the first-place winner of the Bai Xin Competition.
Since they were going to discuss cooperation, Qiao Sang’s background had been investigated.
A recent junior high graduate, she was specially admitted to Saint Water Middle School, and with her Beginner Pet Fire Fang Dog, she won first place in the Bai Xin Competition.
But the information didn’t say she had a Treasure Hunting Ghost. Could it be a wild extraordinary creature?
Should she report this to the boss?
But the security downstairs seemed to be quiet…
“Is there anything else?” Song Yuan asked.
“No.” The young woman considered it carefully and chose to trust the security.
30 seconds later.
Song Yuan stared blankly at Qiao Sang, who was walking towards her, for a long moment. She didn’t immediately greet her but picked up her phone and dialed a number.
“Hello, is this the Patrol Department? I have a wild Ghost-type Pet here, a Treasure Hunting Ghost. The address is…”
Qiao Sang: “…!”
Qiao Sang quickly interjected, “This is my newly contracted Pet!”
Song Yuan: “!!!”
After a brief and effective communication, Song Yuan finally hung up the phone.
“I remember you just graduated from junior high,” Song Yuan said with a complex expression.
“Perhaps I’m just more of a genius,” Qiao Sang said.
Song Yuan: “…”
She suddenly didn’t want to speak.
After a while, Song Yuan still couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you contract a Ghost-type for your second Pet? You could have easily contracted a more manageable Pet first, and then considered a Ghost-type after a few years when you were stronger.”
Song Yuan was puzzled.
Actually, she wasn’t someone who liked to meddle in others’ business. There were indeed exceptionally talented children among her relatives, but compared to the girl in front of her, they all seemed a bit mediocre.
This made her couldn’t help but feel a desire to nurture talent.
Judging from the talent of the girl in front of her, she could completely pursue the path of a Professional Beast Tamer.
However, if one contracted a difficult-to-manage Pet too early, time would be wasted on cleaning up messes and engaging in a battle of wits with the Pet.
One would also have to guard against some radical-minded Pets who might try to break the contract, even at the cost of mutual destruction.
No matter how she thought about it, it wasn’t the right choice.
They say that the thoughts of geniuses are different from ordinary people, but her relatives’ children seemed quite normal.
Qiao Sang sighed, “Alas, I didn’t want to, but it’s a genius.”
Song Yuan: “…”
She really shouldn’t have spoken just now.
The endorsement and photoshoot went exceptionally smoothly.
Fire Fang Dog only needed to pose for three new seasonal sunglasses, which didn’t take much time.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost watched the entire process with curiosity.
It floated leisurely in front of a recently removed pink heart-shaped pair of sunglasses, clumsily took off the ring on its head, and put the sunglasses inside.
Qiao Sang: “…”
She had been closely observing Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.
Knowing the habits of a Treasure Hunting Ghost, it was impossible for her to let it do whatever it wanted.
Each Treasure Hunting Ghost liked different things, and she wanted to observe what her own Treasure Hunting Ghost liked.
She didn’t expect it to take the sunglasses.
Did it like the same things as Fire Fang Dog?
Just as Qiao Sang was about to ask Little Treasure Hunting Ghost to take out the sunglasses, before she could even speak, it took off its ring again and actively took out the sunglasses.
Qiao Sang was very pleased.
She thought Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had sensed her inner thoughts.
Unexpectedly, it took the sunglasses and floated in front of Fire Fang Dog, who had just finished shooting, and handed them over.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
“Fang~”
Fire Fang Dog barked shyly.
Qiao Sang: “…”
As the Yu Beast Master of the two Pets in front of her, she naturally knew what they were saying.
Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure Hunting Ghost with a strange expression.
Was that compliment serious?
Why did it always feel like there was a sense of worldliness that didn’t match its age embedded within it…?
