Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 823: Monkey

It wasn’t until the break of the third class that Qiao Sang received a private message from the Royal Union Dun official backend:

“[Pet Potion Department Fifth Year (2) Class Leona: I have B-grade Fire Cleansing Potions. Each potion is 5 points. I need full payment at once. Do you accept?]”

Qiao Sang’s first thought was: “Holy crap, that’s so cheap!” She knew that borrowing materials-related books for the Vice Principal used to cost her 5 points every day.

Her second thought was: “Try to haggle, maybe I can get a discount…”

Thinking this, Qiao Sang typed: “[If I buy them all at once, can I get a discount?]”

After about a minute, the other party replied:

“[There’s no discount on points, but I’ll give you an extra B-grade Fire Cleansing Potion.]”

A course of treatment is 10 bottles, and it takes three courses to be effective, so one extra bottle, is that useful… Qiao Sang mumbled to herself while replying: “[Deal.]”

She already considered the points a pleasant surprise, and she was about to leave Yu Liandun University, so any remaining points would be wasted if not spent.

As soon as the message was sent, the next second, a notification popped up in the backend:

“[Pet Potion Department Fifth Year (2) Class Leona has accepted your task.]”

After school in the morning, students gradually walked out of the classroom.

Qiao Sang sat quietly in her seat, waiting.

“Ya Ya?”

Xiao Xunbao looked up, a confused expression on its face, asking, “Aren’t we leaving?”

“Aren’t you trying to train the temperature of your fire-element energy?” Qiao Sang explained, “I bought Fire Cleansing Potions. These potions can increase the temperature of fire-element energy. Someone will deliver them soon.”

“Ya Ya!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up at the words, and it wagged its tail wildly, happily rubbing its head against its Yu Beast Master’s cheek.

“Steel Slash…”

Steel Treasure watched quietly from the side. When it saw its Yu Beast Master’s rather pleased expression, it unconsciously imagined itself in Xiao Xunbao’s place.

Its head was so hard; if it rubbed like that, its Yu Beast Master definitely wouldn’t have that kind of expression…

At this moment, a tall senior with black hair and black eyes walked into the classroom.

She had very dark circles under her eyes, indicating frequent late nights.

Next to her was a Pet, a monkey-like creature about a meter tall, carrying a bag, almost entirely white, and also with very dark circles under its eyes.

Qiao Sang recognized at a glance that this person was Leona, who had accepted the task.

The other party walked straight over.

“Debate Brain Monkey, a General-level Pet of the Normal-type, with excellent memory, said to possess intelligence not inferior to humans…” Qiao Sang’s mind subconsciously brought up information about the Pet in front of her.

Just as she was about to speak, a voice with the same tone as Xiao Xunbao rang out:

“[Let me see~ Debate Brain Monkey, a General-level Pet of the Normal-type, with extremely high intelligence. When it falls into thought, it tilts its neck back to increase the flexibility of its brain cells. In summary, it has a good brain, but it’s not good at fighting.]”

Qiao Sang: “…”

The Debate Brain Monkey silently glanced in the direction where the Pet Identifier had appeared out of thin air.

But very quickly, the Pet Identifier disappeared.

Leona seemed not to have heard the Pet Identifier’s voice and confirmed with an unchanging expression:

“Qiao Sang?”

“That’s me.” Qiao Sang nodded.

“Here are your 31 bottles of Fire Cleansing Potions.”

After Leona finished speaking, the Debate Brain Monkey placed its black backpack on the table and unzipped it.

Qiao Sang glanced inside; it was filled with potions containing bright red liquid.

The Debate Brain Monkey placed these potions one by one on the table.

“Please count them.” Leona said.

There was no need to count, the Debate Brain Monkey had already taken them out one by one… Qiao Sang said, “No need to count, I trust you.”

“Ya, ya, ya…”

Xiao Xunbao raised its paw and seriously counted the bottles one by one.

Leona was stunned, not expecting the other party to say such a thing.

The Debate Brain Monkey took out several papers from its backpack and handed them over.

“These are the appraisal certificates for these Fire Cleansing Potions.” Leona’s tone softened considerably, like someone who had just woken up after a long night, her mood visibly improving.

Qiao Sang took them, glanced through them, then picked up her phone, operated on it for a moment, and then put it down, saying:

“I’ve transferred the points, please check.”

Leona didn’t take out her phone: “I trust you too.”

“Oh, no, you should take it out. You’re making me feel awkward…” Qiao Sang smiled, “Then I’ll be leaving now.”

Saying that, she looked in the direction where Xiao Xunbao was.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao appeared.

The Debate Brain Monkey glanced at it.

Xiao Xunbao met the Debate Brain Monkey’s gaze and grinned, showing a friendly smile.

Debate Brain Monkey: “…”

“Ya Ya…”

Xiao Xunbao was completely unaffected by the surrounding atmosphere, its eyes glowing blue as it focused on controlling the bottles of Fire Cleansing Potions back into the backpack.

“Wait.” Leona called out.

Qiao Sang looked over.

Leona glanced at Xiao Xunbao and said calmly, “I’m not sure when your Flame Qilu evolved, but I know it’s a General-level Pet. If the Fire Cleansing Potions are for it, I suggest waiting a while longer, because B-grade Fire Cleansing Potions are suitable for Pets that have reached the General-level late stage or King-level.”

“Pets in the General-level mid-to-early stage using this grade of Fire Cleansing Potion will experience immense pain and may even suffer hidden dangers.”

“Ya Ya…”

At this point, Xiao Xunbao had already put all the Fire Cleansing Potions into the backpack. Hearing this, it silently retracted the paw it was about to use to take out a bottle of Fire Cleansing Potion.

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then asked, “What if we perform Healing during the consumption process?”

Leona fell silent.

Qiao Sang was already considered a celebrity at Yu Liandun University. Everyone was discussing what kind of Pets she had, their levels, attributes, and skills.

She naturally knew that the other party had an Ice Aipalu that could use Healing Light.

From this, it seemed the other party planned to have Ice Aipalu use Healing Light when Flame Qilu consumed the Fire Cleansing Potion.

To use the god-like Healing Light just because of the pain caused by the potion.

What an unimaginable scene…

Leona hesitated, then finally nodded: “You can.”

Hearing this, Qiao Sang felt relieved.

One minute later.

The villa.

“Ya Ya!”

Xiao Xunbao sat down on the ground, looking seriously at the red potion in its hand, opening it, and pouring it into its mouth.

Ice Ai observed Xiao Xunbao’s changes from the side, ready to provide Healing at any time.

“Ya Ya?”

After about three minutes, Xiao Xunbao wagged its tail and blinked.

Where was the promised pain?

It felt nothing.

“Maybe we need to wait a bit longer.” Qiao Sang hesitated.

“Ya!”

Xiao Xunbao’s expression instantly became serious again.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Xunbao’s state finally showed some slight changes, as if it was enduring something.

“Ice Ai.” Qiao Sang called out.

“Ice Ai.” Ice Ai responded, indicating understanding.

“Grumble…”

Just as it was concentrating energy to cast Healing Light, a sound came from Xiao Xunbao’s stomach.

“Ya Ya…”

Xiao Xunbao finally couldn’t bear it anymore and collapsed to the ground.

It was hungry…

Qiao Sang: “…”

Ice Ai: “…”

Monthly pass desired.
