Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 821: Release (two in one)

An unlimited card?

Steel Treasure quickly associated the term with something like a card.

During this time, its Yu Beast Master had been going out shopping, and all payments were made with that card; it saw it very clearly.

It seems that was the unlimited card.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure thought for 0.5 seconds, then called out, showing an expression of “I understand.”

If there was no money, it didn’t have to buy this Pet care oil; it felt its feathers were already good enough for a coordination competition.

How considerate Steel Treasure was… Qiao Sang felt a surge of emotion, the previous heartache completely vanished, and she declared grandly, “I just don’t have the unlimited card anymore, but I still have money to buy Pet care oil. Just buy it.”

During this time, she had been continuously stockpiling supplies, and every night she went out to heal terminally ill patients. Some family members of terminally ill patients even contacted her via Starcom, not only earning back all the money invested but also saving a considerable sum.

If used reasonably, continuing to lavishly raise Tooth Treasure and the others would be no problem at all.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure stared at its Yu Beast Master for two seconds, then nodded.

While lavishly raising them was one thing, some money that could be saved still had to be saved. At least B-grade energy recovery fluid couldn’t be drunk like water anymore, and the Points earned from battles could completely make up for it… Qiao Sang drank water while glancing through the glass curtain wall in the direction of Tooth Treasure’s training.

When she saw empty bottles of B-grade energy recovery fluid scattered everywhere, her heart couldn’t help but twitch again.

Just then, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

Qiao Sang took out her phone and saw a message from Sylvia:

【The movie Ghost Ring King guest-starred in will be released tomorrow.】

Movie release? Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and she called out:

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

The next second, Xiao Xunbao appeared in front of her, emanating a chill all over its body.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched: “You went to fight Lu Bao again?”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao shivered and nodded.

Qiao Sang remembered the important matter, coughed, and delivered the good news: “The movie you filmed last time is being released tomorrow.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao was first startled, then its spirits lifted, and it excitedly did a backflip in mid-air, the chill on its body seemingly vanishing instantly.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Immediately, it seemed to remember something, floating next to its Yu Beast Master and rubbing its face affectionately.

It wanted to go see the movie~

Qiao Sang smiled: “Of course, we’ll go together tomorrow. This is your first movie.”

“Xun!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao immediately floated happily in circles in mid-air.

Three seconds later, it enthusiastically challenged Lu Bao again.

Pet care oil, movie tickets… Receiving the news that the movie was about to be released, Qiao Sang’s mood improved considerably. She pulled out a chair by the dining table, sat down, picked up her phone, opened the shopping app and ticketing app, and purchased Pet care oil and movie tickets respectively.

After the purchases were completed, she silently canceled password-free payment.

Steel Treasure was fine, but Xiao Xunbao had been constantly buying all sorts of random things with her phone lately, so it was better to cancel it…

3:03 AM.

In the deserted alley, dozens of Ghost-type Pets were crowded together, jostling each other.

On the walls on both sides, some Ghost-type Pets only showed their heads outside.

They cried “Jie Jie,” “Lian Lian,” and “Gui Gui,” as if arguing.

“Xun!”

Just then, Xiao Xunbao, wearing a black cloak, appeared out of thin air at the very top, calling out.

The entire alley instantly fell silent.

Dozens of Ghost-type Pets simultaneously looked up with respectful and adoring gazes.

Xiao Xunbao thoroughly enjoyed such gazes.

“Gui Gui?”

A deep purple, one-eyed Ghost-type Pet called out, asking what the boss’s plans were for today.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao took out its Yu Beast Master’s phone and lit up the screen.

A movie poster titled 【Yu Beast Monster】 was prominently displayed on it.

Dozens of Ghost-type Pets looked at the poster with confused expressions, not understanding why the boss was showing them this.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao let out a slightly proud cry, indicating that this was the movie it starred in, and it would be released tomorrow.

Dozens of Ghost-type Pets immediately showed expressions of shock, astonishment, and “Boss, you’re so awesome.”

The scene became a bit noisy for a moment.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao waved its hand imperiously, signaling for silence.

The alley suddenly became quiet.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao called out twice, expressing its hope that they would all go see this movie tomorrow.

“Gui Gui!”

The deep purple, one-eyed Ghost-type Pet was the first to cry out, indicating that it was no problem at all, and it would definitely support the boss’s movie!

“Jie Jie!”

“Lian Lian!”

“Meng Meng!”

The other Ghost-type Pets echoed in agreement.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao looked at all this with satisfaction, then took out its phone and called out, indicating that the boss would now buy them movie tickets.

Dozens of Ghost-type eyes lit up, showing expectant expressions.

They had never had movie tickets before.

【Please enter payment password.】

Looking at the six blank spaces displayed below this line of text on the phone screen, Xiao Xunbao was silent for a moment, then turned off the phone and called out twice with a serious expression.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

“Xiao Xunbao.”

It thought for a moment, this was a good opportunity for training. Tomorrow, when you go to the cinema, you must not be discovered by humans.

“Gui Gui!”

The deep purple, one-eyed Ghost-type Pet was once again the first to cry out, indicating that it would definitely complete the mission and not disappoint the boss!

“Jie Jie!”

“Lian Lian!”

“Meng Meng!”

The other Ghost-type Pets were not to be outdone, instantly forgetting about the movie tickets, and cried out, indicating that they would definitely complete the mission too!

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao looked at everything before it, managed its facial expression, and kept itself from laughing out loud.

The next day, when Qiao Sang woke up, she saw Xiao Xunbao looking at her with a resentful expression.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, yawning.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao pointed to the phone charging on the nightstand and called out, asking why everything required a password to buy now.

Qiao Sang glanced at it, her tone dangerous:

“You played with my phone last night?”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao’s body stiffened abruptly, and it quickly shook its head, indicating no.

Qiao Sang stared at it without a word.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao quickly gave in, showing a guilty expression.

Because its movie was about to be released, it couldn’t resist showing off to its little brothers.

“What do you want to buy?” Qiao Sang didn’t question it, picking up her phone and opening the shopping app.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao sighed. It originally wanted to buy movie tickets for its little brothers.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang put down her phone and couldn’t help but confirm: “Are those the wild Ghost-type little brothers you once mentioned?”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, and she explained: “Wild Pets don’t have identity bracelets, so even if you buy movie tickets, they can’t enter the cinema.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, sighed for its little brothers for 0.1 seconds, and then became happy again.

Its little brothers had ways to get into the cinema.

7:05 PM.

Cinema.

Screening room.

Audience members entered one after another, looking for their seats.

Last row.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao stared at the big screen with a nervous expression.

“Tooth Tooth.”

Tooth Treasure sensed its little brother’s emotions, patted Xiao Xunbao’s shoulder, and told it not to be nervous.

“When will Xiao Xunbao appear?” Liu Yao asked.

“Not sure.” Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “But it should appear once in the early stages.”

She remembered the director saying that Xiao Xunbao had a scene before the protagonist became a Yu Beast Master.

“I didn’t expect this movie to be released before you left Super Dormant Star.” Pilit said with emotion.

“I didn’t expect it either.” Qiao Sang smiled.

“Di Di.” In the air, Aodinihi’s voice came, indicating that the movie seemed to be about to begin.

All the lights in the screening room suddenly went dark.

Everyone instantly fell silent.

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao seemed to hear its own violent heartbeat.

However, as time passed, Xiao Xunbao gradually showed a disappointed expression.

Why wasn’t it its turn to appear yet…

Just then, its Yu Beast Master’s voice rang out: “Look.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao understood something, and its heart rate accelerated again.

On the big screen, the lost protagonist seemed to hear something and slowly looked up.

Only a familiar figure slowly floated by, turned its head as it passed the protagonist, winked, and then leisurely departed.

The protagonist remained in place, looking at the direction where the gray-gold figure disappeared with eyes full of admiration.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao saw its shot, suddenly became excited, and accidentally cried out, but it quickly covered its mouth.

Just as Xiao Xunbao covered its mouth, some strange sounds began to echo in the screening room.

“Jie Jie Jie…”

“Meng Meng Meng…”

“Gui Gui Gui!”

Many audience members were startled and let out exclamations:

“What’s that sound?!”

“It sounds like the laughter of Ghost-type Pets?”

“Whose Ghost-type Pet is invisible? So scary!”

“Could it be a wild Ghost-type Pet?”

“Don’t scare me, there were several kinds of Ghost-type Pet sounds just now…”

Everyone was startled by the sudden laughter of the Ghost-type Pets and temporarily lost interest in watching the movie.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao saw most of the audience stand up and no longer pay attention to the movie, and couldn’t help but show a helpless expression.

Qiao Sang turned her head, saw Xiao Xunbao’s expression, and connected it with what it said this morning about movie tickets and its little brothers, instantly understanding everything.

“Lu Bao, Therapeutic Sound Wave.” Qiao Sang said in a low voice.

“Bing Bing~ Bing Bing~ Bing Bing Bing~ Bing Bing~”

Lu Bao started singing without a word.

Invisible sound waves rippled out.

The audience members one by one regained their composure and calmly analyzed:

Although there were many Ghost-type Pet cries, they hadn’t attacked or caused trouble for so long. It seemed they were probably contracted Pets, just invisible.

Thinking this, the audience members sat down again and resumed watching the movie.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Seeing this, Xiao Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief.

Pilit, who witnessed all this, suddenly said, “Your Ghost Ring King doesn’t seem to be affected much by Therapeutic Sound Wave now?”

Qiao Sang said calmly, “Is that so.”

Pilit: “…”

An hour later.

The group exited the cinema.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao floated happily in mid-air.

“Hey! Look! Isn’t that Pet that just appeared in the movie very similar to the one in mid-air?” A passerby who also exited the cinema exclaimed in surprise, looking at Xiao Xunbao in mid-air.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

This exclamation immediately gave Xiao Xunbao an idol complex. It took off its ring, quickly pulled out its black cloak from inside, and stylishly draped it behind itself.

“Xiao Xunbao acted well, it has quite a talent for performing.” Liu Yao praised as he walked ahead.

Only two shots… Pilit hesitated to speak, then remembered something and said, “You go back first, I’ll take Qiao Sang to the Yu Beast Center to pick up a mission.”

“Okay.” Liu Yao nodded, then asked with anticipation in the air, “Do you want to come with me?”

“Di.”

Aodinihi’s voice sounded in the air.

“Xian.”

Tian Xian Bat translated simultaneously.

Liu Yao said disappointedly, “Then I’ll go first.”

Having said that, he strode away.

Steel Treasure slowly grew larger.

“What kind of mission is it?” Qiao Sang flipped onto Steel Treasure’s back and asked.

Tooth Treasure was relatively resistant to anyone other than Qiao Sang getting on its back, but Steel Treasure didn’t have any special reaction.

In the past month, whenever they went to the Yu Beast Center, it had carried Pilit.

Pilit skillfully flipped onto Steel Treasure’s back and said:

“Someone wants to find a Pet with high-temperature Fire-type skills to dissolve a piece of Flame Qilu. The reward is 10 grams of Flame Qilu. This material is a main ingredient for some rare Fire-type potions, and you have Flame Qilu, so you’ll need it sooner or later.”

Qiao Sang’s unlimited card had just expired, and she had no resistance to these rare materials that could be obtained without spending money. She immediately said seriously:

“Then we have to hurry, it wouldn’t be good if someone else took this mission, Steel Treasure!”

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure cried out, flapped its wings forcefully, and quickly flew high into the sky.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao, who was still posing, saw this, and quickly followed with blue light in its eyes.

Half an hour later.

Qiao Sang came out of the Yu Beast Center and asked with some confusion, “Why doesn’t this mission limit the number of people?”

“Because Flame Qilu has a very high melting Point.” Pilit said, “It’s estimated that several groups of people have gone and failed to successfully dissolve the Flame Qilu, so they don’t limit the number of people.”

Qiao Sang suddenly realized: “No wonder you only told me about this mission after we watched the movie.”

Pilit smiled: “This is the first movie Ghost Ring King filmed. I thought you would watch this movie first even if you missed this mission, so I didn’t mention it beforehand.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao, who was beside them, heard this and immediately looked over with emotion.

No, that was the old me. Now that I don’t have the unlimited card, I really want to take on this kind of mission… Qiao Sang felt Xiao Xunbao’s gaze, held back her thoughts, and smiled: “You understand me.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao floated over, happily rubbing its Yu Beast Master’s head.

Pilit looked at the time on his wristwatch and said, “It’s not too late at this hour, you can go to the mission address now.”
