Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 822: Fire cleaning agent (two in one)

“Alright.” Qiao Sang nodded without hesitation.

Lately, she had been constantly doing missions or Healing terminal illnesses late at night, so her sense of time was already different from that of a normal person.

For her, before 3 AM was not too late.

“Then I’ll be going now, return as soon as you can.” Pilit finished speaking and hailed a taxi.

350 Facang Street… Qiao Sang looked at the address on the mission details page and clicked navigation.

“Starting navigation for you…”

The voice broadcast sounded, and Steel Treasure flapped its wings, preparing to press the miniature shrinking bracelet.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang quickly called out, “Wait.”

“Steel Slash?” Steel Treasure stopped its movement, turned its head to look over, and showed a puzzled expression.

Qiao Sang said, “Let Ya Bao come.”

Steel Treasure: “…”

Is she disliking its body for being too hard…

In just a second, Steel Treasure understood the thoughts of its Yu Beast Master.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao, on the other hand, simply thought its own movement speed was fast enough, and slowly grew larger with high spirits, preparing to give its Yu Beast Master an experience that would not disappoint.

Its eyes glowed blue as it used psychic power to control Qiao Sang to its back.

Then, it exerted its limbs, dragging a red afterimage, and ran into the sky.

Ten minutes later.

Facang Street.

Both sides of Facang Street were lined with detached villas, each with exterior walls painted in different colors, and bright, reflective floor-to-ceiling windows and small gardens, looking elegant and comfortable.

Qiao Sang dismounted from Ya Bao, tidied her messy hair, and came to the front of 350 Facang Street to ring the doorbell.

Accompanying the sound of the doorbell, the door opened.

A blonde, blue-eyed woman with slightly high cheekbones, looking to be in her 40s, poked her head out: “Who are you looking for?”

Qiao Sang introduced herself: “I am the Yu Beast Master who accepted the mission; I contacted you before coming.”

The woman sized up Qiao Sang and Steel Treasure, finally focusing her gaze on Ya Bao, and stepped aside: “Come in.”

Qiao Sang took off her shoes and walked in.

At this moment, the woman noticed the backpack behind her, and her brows couldn’t help but furrow slightly.

Still carrying a schoolbag, this age is too young…

However, curiosity about the Pet ultimately prevailed, and her tolerance greatly increased: “What kind of fire-type Pet is this? I seem to have never seen it before.”

Although she didn’t know the name of this Pet, it wasn’t difficult to determine that it was a fire-type Pet from its color and fiery wings.

“It’s called Flame Qilu, and it’s a Pet from Blue Star.” Qiao Sang replied.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao let out a cry, as a greeting.

A Pet from Blue Star? The woman’s eyes suddenly lit up, and her attitude became much more enthusiastic, she pointed to the sofa and said, “Please have a seat first.”

Qiao Sang went to the sofa and sat down.

The woman walked over to the single sofa next to it and sat down, while looking at Ya Bao, she said, “To be honest, 11 Yu Beast Masters have already come for this mission of mine, but none of them succeeded in dissolving the Flame Ink Gold.”

Qiao Sang interjected, “My Flame Qilu already has several fire-type skills that have reached the Profound Level.”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and her attitude improved significantly again, saying,

“The higher the proficiency of fire-type skills, the higher the temperature of the fire-type attacks that can be unleashed. However, relying solely on proficiency, and not on the Pet’s inherent fire temperature, I’m afraid it still won’t be able to dissolve Flame Ink Gold. Among the 11 Yu Beast Masters who took the mission, two fire-type Pets had fire-type skills that reached the Profound Meaning.”

Qiao Sang had been studying at Yu Liandun University for some time now, diligently catching up on various knowledge, so she understood what the mission giver was saying.

For a fire-type Pet to unleash high-temperature fire-type skills, in addition to proficiency and learning high-level fire-type skills, some are inherently racial traits, and others are developed through continuous training with materials that increase temperature.

If two fire-type Pets have the same proficiency in fire-type skills and the same race, then the fire-type Pet that has specifically consumed materials to increase fire-type temperature will unleash fire-type skills with a higher temperature.

If two fire-type Pets are of different races, but have the same proficiency in fire-type skills, and during a battle one side clearly overwhelms the other, then it’s highly probable that one of them inherently unleashes fire-type skills at a higher temperature due to its race.

Ya Bao’s training in fire-type skills has focused on proficiency, but it hasn’t really consumed materials to increase fire-type temperature… Qiao Sang said:

“My Flame Qilu has a high-level fire-type skill that has been trained to the Profound Level.”

This sentence truly stunned the woman for a moment.

A high-level fire-type skill at the Profound Level, coupled with such a young-faced Yu Beast Master, felt incongruous no matter how she thought about it.

She pondered for a moment and asked, “It’s not a fire-type skill with explosive effects, is it?”

Phantom Flame is not… Qiao Sang quickly filtered through Ya Bao’s high-level skills in her mind and said, “No.”

“May I ask what skill it is?” the woman still asked, not reassured.

“Phantom Flame.” Qiao Sang replied.

“Wait for me!” The woman said no more, picked up her phone, and walked briskly towards the glass window to make a call.

A minute later, she hung up the phone, walked to the open kitchen, and while making coffee, said,

“I’ve just had someone retrieve the Flame Ink Gold. I usually work outside, so I don’t dare to leave such a valuable item at home.”

No wonder she asked so many questions at first, she was probably afraid of the Flame Ink Gold being delivered in vain again… Qiao Sang nodded lightly: “I understand.”

Before long, the woman came over with two cups of coffee.

Qiao Sang took it and thanked her.

However, just as she took a sip, the doorbell rang.

The woman got up to open the door, revealing a man in bodyguard gear outside.

After handing over the metal box he held, he turned and left without another word.

The woman closed the door and, holding the metal box, winked at Qiao Sang:

“The Flame Ink Gold has arrived, let’s go outside.”

Such high efficiency… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, took a sip of coffee, and got up to follow the woman to the open space behind the house.

The metal box had a password.

The woman pressed a few buttons on it, the box opened, revealing a fist-sized piece of metal, reddish-gold in color.

This is the Flame Ink Gold… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but think of her unlimited card.

If her unlimited card hadn’t expired, she wouldn’t need to do missions to obtain materials of this level…

Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts, unwilling to dwell on it, lest her heart ache.

The woman did not take out the Flame Ink Gold, but simply placed the open box on the ground and nodded, indicating: “You can start.”

Qiao Sang looked at the metal box and hesitated for a moment: “Will this box not be damaged?”

The woman smiled and said, “This material is specially made of flame-retardant metal, it’s not afraid of fire, just burn it.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang felt relieved and nodded to Ya Bao:

“Use Phantom Flame.”

“Ya!”

Ya Bao took a step forward, opened its mouth, and sprayed an invisible flame into the golden box.

Because the area was too small, there was no sudden sensation of rising temperature.

However, it was clearly visible that the Flame Ink Gold was now filled with a sense of distortion.

This was the déjà vu only experienced under intense heat.

The woman seemed to know that the Flame Ink Gold wouldn’t dissolve so quickly and began to chat:

“May I ask why you would contract a Pet from Blue Star?”

“Because I am from Blue Star.” Qiao Sang replied.

An alien? The woman was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something, looked at Steel Treasure, and asked with great interest:

“Is this also a Pet from Blue Star?”

It seems this person doesn’t pay much attention to the news; after all, Steel Treasure and Ya Bao were trending on Super Dormant Star… Qiao Sang’s expression remained unchanged:

“It’s called Steel Slash Giant Falcon, and it’s a Pet from Super Dormant Star.”

The woman frowned, her gaze falling on the miniature shrinking bracelet on Steel Treasure’s claw, and asked, “What is the Beginner form of Steel Slash Giant Falcon?”

“It’s Little Steel Falcon.” Qiao Sang said.

The woman looked at Steel Treasure in surprise for several moments: “When did Little Steel Falcon develop another form?”

Qiao Sang coughed and said, “Just a few months ago, it was a bond evolution.”

Little Steel Falcon bond evolution?

At this moment, the woman finally realized that the black-haired girl in front of her might be somewhat unusual. She was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

“I have a son at Zhi Zhou University who studies how to help Pets break through their limits. Steel Slash Giant Falcon is a new form, and its next stage of evolution should be unknown. Research on breaking through Pets’ limits might enable Steel Slash Giant Falcon to evolve to the next stage. Would you like me to send you my son’s contact information? You two could discuss it.”

As she spoke, her gaze swept across Qiao Sang’s face and the backpack she was carrying, then she continued:

“Perhaps you two could even become schoolmates in the future.”

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “I am currently a student at Yu Liandun University.”

For a moment, the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.

Qiao Sang keenly sensed that the mission giver no longer wished to speak.

Time passed bit by bit.

The Flame Ink Gold in the metal box was still burning.

“Ya…”

Ya Bao had been staring at the Flame Ink Gold, and seeing that only a little had melted after a long time, it couldn’t help but open its mouth and unleash another burst of Phantom Flame.

It really is hard to melt… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

“Yaya!”

Ya Bao was impatient; seeing that its Phantom Flame skill wasn’t having a particularly great effect, it turned to its Yu Beast Master and cried out, indicating whether to use a powerful move.

If you use Lava Purgatory or Mars Rain, what about their house… Qiao Sang complained inwardly, but on the surface, she soothed it:

“No need, this Flame Ink Gold has dissolved a little, just wait a bit longer.”

“Ya…”

Ya Bao, seeing that its Yu Beast Master said so, could only endure.

The woman beside them finally spoke again:

“If your Flame Qilu usually trains its fire-type energy temperature, plus the Profound Level Phantom Flame, it should be able to dissolve the Flame Ink Gold very quickly.”

“Yaya…”

Ya Bao’s ears perked up, and it stared thoughtfully at the Flame Ink Gold twisting in the Phantom Flame.

“It doesn’t usually train its fire-type energy temperature.” Qiao Sang said.

“You can have it train.” The woman looked at Ya Bao and said, “Although I haven’t seen other Flame Qilus, this Pet clearly doesn’t seem very old, and its talent should be good. I think it can withstand training.”

“Yaya!”

Ya Bao turned its head and cried out with determined eyes.

It wants to train!

Qiao Sang pondered for 0.1 seconds, then nodded: “I understand.”

After speaking, she smiled at Ya Bao: “I’ll let you train when we get back.”

“Ya!”

Ya Bao immediately showed an excited expression.

The Flame Ink Gold burned for over an hour before finally turning into a reddish-gold liquid.

The woman happily weighed ten grams of the golden-red liquid and put it in a glass container, handing it to Qiao Sang:

“This is your reward.”

“Thanks.” Qiao Sang took it and went to the door to put on her shoes.

As she opened the door, she suddenly thought of something, turned around, and smiled shyly: “Please give me a five-star review.”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

“Of course.”

Qiao Sang walked out of the house, waved her hand, and put the sleeping Ya Bao in her arms back into the yu beast codex, then silently glanced in the direction of Steel Treasure.

Now she remembers it… Steel Treasure said nothing, its body slowly growing larger.

The next day, as the sun rose.

Qiao Sang, who had been busy all night, woke up on time.

After a simple wash, she came to the living room.

Teacher Pilit had not yet woken up; only the Vice Principal and Steel Treasure were busy in the kitchen.

Qiao Sang came to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down, then thought of something and asked,

“Vice Principal, what kind of potion can increase fire-type energy temperature?”

Liu Yao, while pouring Energy Pills into a plate, asked, “Are you planning to give it to Ya Bao?”

Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation.

Liu Yao pondered for a moment and said,

“There are warming potions, fire-cultivating potions, and fire-cleansing potions. These three are the most commonly used on the market. However, Super Dormant Star is different from Blue Star. I’ve generally looked into it, and for the same names, Super Dormant Star seems to only have fire-cleansing potions.”

Fire-cleansing potion… Qiao Sang took out her phone, opened the browser, and typed “price of fire-cleansing potion.”

Soon, the page jumped and provided the answer.

【Depending on the grade, the most basic F-grade fire-cleansing potion is 10,000 alliance coins on the market, E-grade is around 30,000 alliance coins, D-grade is 50,000 alliance coins, C-grade is 100,000 alliance coins, B-grade is 200,000 alliance coins, and A-grade is not openly sold on the market, only to specific customers.】

Ya Bao is a General-level Pet after all, so at least C-grade should be used. 100,000 alliance coins can increase the temperature of all fire-type skills, which is not unacceptable… Qiao Sang looked at the content above, muttering to herself.

At this moment, Liu Yao spoke:

“This potion comes in a course of 10 doses, and it needs at least three consecutive courses to be effective.”

10 doses per course, one course is 1,000,000 alliance coins, then three courses would be 3,000,000 alliance coins… So expensive, no wonder when I used to battle, I never felt other fire-type Pets’ fire-type skills suppressing Ya Bao’s. It seems everyone must be reluctant to use it. Qiao Sang quickly calculated the amount, and the familiar ache in her heart surged again.

“So expensive…” She unconsciously blurted out what was on her mind.

Liu Yao paused his movements and turned to say,

“I can actually formulate the fire-cleansing potion. If you buy the materials and make it yourself, you should be able to save a sum of money. However, some materials on Super Dormant Star have the same effect as those on Blue Star but different names, so I’ll need a bit of time.”

“No need.” Qiao Sang quickly said, “I just said that casually. I went out to treat three people last night, and the money I earned is already enough to buy it.”

The Vice Principal had not only been cooking every day but also making Energy Pills during this period, taking care of everyone and every Pet meticulously, leaving him with little time for his own affairs. How could she bear to trouble the Vice Principal with making fire-cleansing potions?

Liu Yao couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this, and continued with his work.

3,000,000 is not a small sum. If one could save some money, why would anyone be unwilling to save? He understood that Qiao Sang was reluctant to trouble him.

If money can be saved, it’s naturally better to save some. And in another month, she would be leaving Yu Liandun University, so now was the time to spend her points… Thinking of this, Qiao Sang opened Yu Liandun’s official website, logged into her account, clicked on the mission release interface, and typed:

【Urgently seeking 30 bottles of fire-cleansing potion, the higher the grade, the better.】
