Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 813: School of Social and Pet Behavior (two-in-one)

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao took off the ring, slowly enlarged it, and then reached in with his paw to pull out Aodinihi, who was still stuffing snacks into his mouth.

Liu Yao looked at the never-before-seen fat Pet in front of him, his face filled with shock and bewilderment. Then, realizing something, he tremblingly pulled out the Pet Identifier he had acquired after replacing his Super Dormant Star and aimed it at the Pet.

“Di di.”

Aodinihi was unfazed and continued to stuff food into his mouth.

A mechanical voice sounded in the living room:

“Identifying, please wait… Sorry, unable to identify. It is recommended to update.”

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao thoughtfully handed over his Pet Identifier.

“Thank you…” Liu Yao took it and aimed it at the Pet, who was engrossed in eating.

“Let me see, let me see…” A voice with the same tone as Xiao Xunbao quickly sounded:

“Aodinihi, a legendary Illusion Beast, awakens only once every hundred years. It is said that the flute sound it plays can predict the exact evolution location of a Pet’s next stage… Oh, my goodness, it’s actually Aodinihi! Although the Aodinihi in front of me looks a bit different from the image in the data, its red flute is unique! Master, you’ve made it big! You actually let me identify a legendary Illusion Beast!”

“Di, hiccup~”

Aodinihi glanced at the Pet Identifier, let out a satisfied burp, and continued eating.

A, Aodinihi, truly, truly an Illusion Beast… Liu Yao’s pupils contracted violently, his brain felt a “buzz,” as if it had directly crashed, unable to think.

As an experienced Trainer and researcher, he had seen many rare Pets.

But, an Illusion Beast, this was an Illusion Beast!

It couldn’t simply be described with the word “rare.”

He never dreamed that he would actually see an Illusion Beast with his own eyes!

And it was from another planet, now less than three meters away from him!

Liu Yao was completely dazed, standing still like an idiot.

He couldn’t understand how Qiao Sang had managed to see Aodinihi in such a short time and even brought it home.

This feeling was even more fantastical than meeting Lin Ya and bringing him home, saying he was a friend.

After all, Lin Ya was a person, capable of communication, and his schedule was occasionally public and transparent, which was quite different from an Illusion Beast, whose whereabouts were uncertain and who only lived in legends.

Liu Yao stared blankly at Aodinihi for a long time, finally mumbling:

“It really is an Illusion Beast…”

He looked at Qiao Sang.

His gaze was like he was looking at a pervert.

“Vice Principal, Aodinihi has eaten all of Yabao and the others’ Energy Pills. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to make some more,” Qiao Sang said, feeling quite embarrassed.

“How can Aodinihi eat Yabao and the others’ Energy Pills!” Liu Yao’s expression instantly changed, his tone filled with anxiety.

This was an Illusion Beast!

There might only be one in the world!

Yabao and the others’ Energy Pills were customized according to their physical conditions.

What if Aodinihi ate them and something went wrong?

Qiao Sang waved her hand, helplessly saying:

“I didn’t want to, but Aodinihi entered Xiao Xunbao’s ring and directly ate all the food stored inside.”

“Di di…”

Hearing this, Aodinihi took a break from eating to respond.

He didn’t eat for free; that food was the interest for his flute playing.

Xiao Xunbao snorted, not translating.

He had clearly given him a lot of things to eat before.

Liu Yao’s mindset had now stabilized a little. He took a deep breath and asked the question that had been baffling him:

“How did you find Aodinihi?”

“It’s like this, I went to the 30th District…” Qiao Sang spoke with great enthusiasm, recounting in detail everything that had happened when she went to the 30th District.

Liu Yao’s expression grew more solemn the more he listened.

He hadn’t expected Qiao Sang to encounter so many things in just a few days.

“It’s good that you came back safely…” Liu Yao said with sudden emotion after listening.

Then he saw Aodinihi eating nearby and fell silent again.

If encountering these things could bring back an Illusion Beast, no one would probably be unwilling…

Liu Yao was silent for a moment, then asked:

“Why did Aodinihi come back with you?”

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, “I don’t know, it wanted to follow me on its own.”

As she said this, she glanced at Aodinihi and added:

“Maybe I helped it out, and it trusts me more.”

To be honest, she actually had some guesses.

Aodinihi seemed to really like to eat. Not only did it finish all the food in Xiao Xunbao’s ring, but its mouth hadn’t stopped moving just now. She strongly suspected that Aodinihi followed her back for the sake of food.

However, with Aodinihi right there, she couldn’t say it openly.

“Di di.”

Aodinihi nodded while stuffing food into its mouth, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Liu Yao looked at Aodinihi’s appearance, held back for a long time, and finally couldn’t help but say:

“Don’t eat so frantically, it’s not good for your health.”

Aodinihi ignored him.

Qiao Sang cooperatively said:

“He’s a Trainer. The Energy Pills you just ate in the ring were all made by him. If you like to eat, you can tell him your favorite flavors and let him customize your favorite Energy Pills for you.”

Liu Yao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and cautiously asked:

“Is Aodinihi going to stay here long-term?”

“Not sure, but for now, yes,” Qiao Sang said. “I asked Aodinihi to help predict the evolution locations for Yabao and the others’ next stage, but Aodinihi already made a prediction not long ago and needs some time to rest before it can continue, so Aodinihi will be staying here during this period.”

This, this means living under the same roof as an Illusion Beast long-term?! Liu Yao’s expression was blank for a few seconds, then his face turned crimson. He looked at Aodinihi, his eyes so bright they could almost shoot lasers:

“I can! I can make any flavor of Energy Pills you like!”

“Di di.”

Aodinihi had been eating all the way until now and was actually a bit full, so its desire for food wasn’t as strong as it initially was.

He looked at the human in front of him, then at the other human who had brought him from the 30th District, and nodded, indicating that it was fine.

Liu Yao, who was usually composed, showed unbridled joy, even excitement, on his face.

Being able to customize Energy Pills for an Illusion Beast was something that could definitely be written into his life’s archives!

“Then, can I check your body and ask you a few questions?” Liu Yao asked cautiously.

“Di di.” Aodinihi nodded.

Seeing this, Liu Yao instantly rushed upstairs, took out his testing tools from his room, and carefully began to examine Aodinihi.

Qiao Sang watched for a while, then remembered what she still had to do, returned to her room, and uploaded the edited Pets she wanted to rent.

8:40 PM.

Inside the room.

The Forging Worm slowly crawled out of Qiao Sang’s mouth.

After sending off the Forging Worm, Qiao Sang immediately rushed to the bathroom, vomited for a while, turned on the faucet, and rinsed her mouth with water.

She looked at herself in the mirror, recalling the recent training process, her expression somewhat dazed.

After this period of training, in the later stages, the pain of the Forging Worm crawling into her body had significantly decreased, but the night before going to the 30th District, during that training session, there was still some pain.

However, just now, when the Forging Worm entered her body, aside from a slight nausea, the pain was almost nonexistent.

Could it be that the second stage of her defense training was complete?

“Steel Slash?”

Just as she was thinking, Steel Treasure flew in, flapping its wings, looking inquisitive. It chirped, asking why it couldn’t use different skills simultaneously with its clone and main body, like Brother Yabao.

Qiao Sang looked at it and patiently replied:

“Your clone just learned it. When Yabao first learned to clone, he couldn’t immediately use different skills simultaneously with his main body either. This stuff all requires practice.”

“Steel Slash?”

Steel Treasure immediately chirped again.

How do I practice?

“You need to learn to multitask first.” Qiao Sang already had experience with training, so her teaching was very smooth: “First, use your clone, then have your main body do one thing within the range where you can control the clone, and have the clone do another thing.”

“When you first start practicing, don’t do things that are too difficult. For example, the clone trains, and the main body feeds Chan Chan Stone. That level is fine.”

The crystals currently flowing from the Chan Chan Stones were actually no longer enough to satisfy Steel Treasure.

But they got along very well, and Steel Treasure habitually prepared chili for the Chan Chan Stones every day, and Qiao Sang never mentioned letting the Chan Chan Stones leave.

On every journey, one might encounter some Pets they get along with. Even if they couldn’t be contracted, she didn’t mind taking care of them throughout the journey.

Of course, most importantly, the Chan Chan Stones didn’t have big appetites, and she could still afford to raise them for now…

“Steel Slash…”

Steel Treasure heard its Yu Beast Master’s words, looked thoughtful, then nodded and flew out of the bathroom, flapping its wings.

When Qiao Sang walked out of the room and into the living room, she saw Steel Treasure holding an automatic vacuum cleaner and cleaning.

She realized something and turned to look at the glass wall that overlooked the outdoor area.

In the outdoor area, a Steel Slash Giant Falcon, identical to Steel Treasure, was controlling purple-glowing feather blades in mid-air.

For a moment, Qiao Sang was filled with emotion, and inexplicably thought of Xiao Xunbao.

If Xiao Xunbao needed to practice multitasking, he would definitely have his clone play games with him…

“Xun Xun…”

By the coffee table, Xiao Xunbao, who was teaching Aodinihi how to play games, suddenly felt his nose itch a bit and couldn’t help but rub it with his paw.

“Does it feel good?” Liu Yao was professionally massaging Aodinihi from behind.

When a Pet eats too much, massage can aid digestion.

“Di di.” Aodinihi showed a comfortable expression, indicating it was alright.

Qiao Sang looked over, her mouth twitching slightly, and said:

“Xiao Xunbao, get ready. We’re going to help people with their illnesses.”

Director Liz had already sent the list of terminally ill patients. The unlimited card was about to expire, and she didn’t want to waste any opportunity to make money.

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao sweetly chirped to his Yu Beast Master, then looked at Aodinihi, his smile instantly vanishing.

“Xun Xun.”

He was leaving. Did he want to come along?

“Di di.”

Aodinihi closed the computer without hesitation and nodded.

Morning, villa.

Qiao Sang yawned as she got up, habitually picking up her phone to check it first.

When she saw the message displayed on the Royal Union Dun official backend, she instantly perked up and became much more awake:

“Mu Jing, third year (3) class of the Pet Psychology Department, has accepted your task. Please confirm.”

Qiao Sang quickly entered the backend, looked at the other party’s photo and profile, and clicked confirm.

Memories would blur, so the sooner she confirmed the evolution scene she saw, the better.

Moreover, the planet was so vast that unless there were particularly iconic buildings and landscapes, it wouldn’t be easy to find the evolution location.

After a simple wash, Qiao Sang came to the living room and immediately saw the unusually rich food on the dining table.

By now, she was no longer a Yu Beast Master novice and immediately recognized that almost all the food on the table was energy-rich Pet breakfast.

“Why did you make so much breakfast?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask, looking at the Vice Principal busy in the kitchen.

Liu Yao smiled brightly:

“I saw that Aodinihi seemed to eat quite a lot, so I made a few extra dishes to see which ones suited its taste.”

Is this the treatment for an Illusion Beast… Qiao Sang pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at the table full of dishes, and hesitated for a moment:

“Where’s mine?”

Liu Yao paused, silently put down the fruit in his hand, opened the refrigerator, took out a few slices of bread, put them in the toaster, and said:

“I’ll make yours now, it’ll be ready soon.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

How come she felt that ever since Aodinihi arrived, her status had plummeted…

Forty minutes later.

Yu Liandun University.

“Where have you been these past few days while you were on leave?” Dorothy asked.

“I went to the 30th District.”

Dorothy asked curiously, “Why did you go there?”

Qiao Sang didn’t hide it: “I received news that Aodinihi might be in the 30th District, so I went to see if I could encounter it.”

Dorothy looked surprised: “Just for that, you went to such a chaotic place as the 30th District?”

Qiao Sang looked at her: “Isn’t that enough?”

“Illusion Beasts aren’t something you can just meet whenever you want,” Dorothy couldn’t help but complain.

“Many places spread news of Illusion Beasts or legendary Pets to deliberately attract people and boost local economic development.”

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “The news I received wasn’t fake.”

Dorothy raised an eyebrow slightly and teased, “Could it be that you really met Aodinihi?”

Qiao Sang didn’t speak. She took out her phone, opened the photo of Xiao Xunbao being held hostage by Aodinihi, and handed it over.

Dorothy didn’t think much of it and looked down.

With just one glance, she was stunned, unable to speak for a long time.

Aodinihi?

Is that Aodinihi in the photo?

Qiao Sang really met the Illusion Beast Aodinihi?!

Dorothy looked at Qiao Sang in disbelief, about to ask for confirmation.

Qiao Sang “shushed” her and whispered, “Keep it a secret.”

Dorothy immediately covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly.

After the morning classes ended, Qiao Sang didn’t delay and immediately went to the College of Society and Pet Behavior.

Soon, she saw a person matching the photo downstairs.

Black hair, brown eyes, soft features, full of scholarly气质.

The other party clearly knew who she was as well. She jogged over, extended her hand, and said with a smile, “Hello, my name is Mu Jing.”
