Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 842: Meet the Treasure Hunter Again (Two in One)
11 PM.
Outdoor training ground.
“Tonghua?”
Tonghua Owl yawned, looking sleepy as he approached Steel Treasure, who was looking up at the night sky, and called out, asking if he wasn’t going to sleep yet.
“Steel Slash.”
Steel Treasure looked at the night sky, indicating he couldn’t sleep.
“Tonghua.”
Tonghua Owl patted Steel Treasure’s head.
If you don’t sleep when you’re young, you won’t grow big. We bird Pets only fly faster the bigger we get.
After speaking, he also looked at the sky, revealing a profound expression.
“Tonghua.”
Only by sleeping early will you, sooner or later, be able to fly as fast as I do.
“Steel Slash…”
Steel Treasure looked at the guy next to him, who wasn’t even half his actual size, then recalled the other party’s Flying speed today, remained silent for two seconds, and called out, indicating he understood and would go to sleep now.
With that, he flapped his wings and flew towards the house.
“Tonghua.”
Tonghua Owl looked at that small figure, revealing a relieved expression.
…
At the same time.
Inside the room.
Qiao Sang was half-lying on the bed, holding her phone, looking at several addresses in her memo, lost in thought.
Except for Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s next stage of evolution, which was in Eagle Country, Dental Treasure and the others, including herself, had predicted addresses all in Dragon Country, concentrated in the central region.
Could it be that she would be active in the central region for a long time next?
But she was about to enroll in Imperial Beast Academy.
The Beast Taming Department was a five-year program, so it couldn’t be that Dental Treasure and the others wouldn’t evolve in these few years… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, and a thought flashed: She was in Di Class, and she remembered Teacher Pilit saying that Di Class had 1v1 tutoring, basically training outside, not just studying in school.
Could it be that when she returned to participate in the Regional Competition, she wouldn’t be participating in the Yuhua region, but the central region?
The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the more she felt this possibility was greater.
After finishing her thoughts, she opened Super Dormant Star, logged into her account after a long time, and found that her followers had decreased by tens of thousands.
They were all active followers who had left… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, opened her camera, aimed it at Dental Treasure who was sound asleep, took a photo, clicked upload, and added the caption:
【Finally back.】
Her Super Dormant Star popularity was highest during the period immediately after the National Campus Pet Beast League ended. Later, she went to Super Dormant Star, and the few posts she made were all about sunglasses promotions.
Dragon Country had endless competitions, and every day amazing Yu Beast Masters appeared in the public eye. After so long, it was normal for her popularity to decline.
However, since she was back, this account still needed to be active occasionally, after all, the unlimited card was gone, and this was also one of the ways to make money…
Ten minutes passed.
There were only a sparse dozen replies, a world of difference compared to her previous popularity.
【???】
【What does ‘back’ mean?】
【Is this Dental Treasure?! Ah! So cute without sunglasses!】
【Ice Kexilu! I want to see Ice Kexilu! Please, post a picture of Ice Kexilu!】
There was no Ice Kexilu anymore, now there was only Ice Aipalu… Qiao Sang selected a few replies, then turned off her phone and went to bed.
…
The next day.
The morning sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Qiao Sang was startled awake by a hurried opening of the door.
She opened her eyes and found her mother standing at the door, full of excitement.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang asked sleepily.
“I took the Weil Elixir you brought, and I awakened my third Yu Beast Page!” Ye Xiangting took a deep breath and announced the bombshell news.
“!!!”
“Really?!” Qiao Sang immediately woke up completely, sat up from the bed with a jolt, and confirmed with a surprised expression.
Weil Elixir could enhance brain regions without side effects, but it could only be taken once, and the effect was best when taken before the age of 18.
Her mother was already past 18, and she had only hoped that her brain region could be developed even a little. She hadn’t expected her mother to awaken a new Yu Beast Page directly after taking it.
In this situation, there was only one possibility.
That was, her mother’s brain region had already reached the critical point of breakthrough!
“Yaya…”
Her Yu Beast Master’s voice was too loud, and Dental Treasure on the bed slowly woke up.
“Ice Ai.”
Lulu jumped directly out of the water tank.
“Do you think I would lie to you?” Ye Xiangting said, forming a hand seal.
A green star array instantly lit up on the ground.
Seeing that her daughter had clearly seen it, she put her hands down again.
The star array disappeared.
“Mom, you’re awesome!” Qiao Sang promptly flattered.
Ye Xiangting was in a great mood, took out her phone, and said, “I thought about it, today is a good day. You’re back, and I’ve awakened a new Yu Beast Page. We should gather everyone for a meal.”
Qiao Sang’s smile instantly vanished, and she quickly said:
“Wait!”
“What’s wrong?” Ye Xiangting asked, puzzled.
Qiao Sang’s mind raced, then she thought of something and asked, “Have you thought about what Pet you want to contract for your third one?”
“No, I just awakened my Yu Beast Page, I haven’t had time to think.” Ye Xiangting said, picking up her phone again.
“Then let’s go to the Pet base today! See if there’s any Pet you want to contract!” Qiao Sang spoke incredibly fast, fearing her mother would press the call button the next second.
Ye Xiangting didn’t put down her phone: “Contracting a Pet isn’t urgent.”
“But I’m leaving tomorrow,” Qiao Sang said.
Ye Xiangting’s hand movements paused.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang immediately continued, “I want to choose a Pet with you before leaving Dragon Country, and after taking Weil Elixir, it’s best to follow up with Meditation and good rest to fully exert the medicinal effect.”
Meaning, no dinner party!
Ye Xiangting was silent for a moment, then finally put down her phone and said, “Then get ready, we’ll go to the Pet base later.”
Taking Weil Elixir and developing the third Yu Beast Page was a pleasant surprise.
However, after developing it, further Meditation to improve by 1% or 2% wouldn’t have a significant impact on her, as she had too many things to do, and she had already passed the golden period for brain region development. It was basically impossible for her to develop a fourth Yu Beast Page in this lifetime.
Besides, just now, after breaking through her brain region, she felt that the medicinal effect in her body had completely disappeared.
She didn’t need to rest, and since her daughter wanted to find a contracted Pet with her, there was no reason not to agree.
No matter what, the contracted Pet would be family in the future, and her daughter’s preference was also very important.
Ye Xiangting turned to leave.
Suddenly, she thought of something, turned back and said, “Take a picture for me.”
Take a picture? A picture of what?
Before Qiao Sang could react, she saw her mother forming a hand seal.
The green star array lit up again.
“Hurry and take it.” Ye Xiangting said, maintaining the hand seal gesture.
Qiao Sang understood something, her mouth twitched, she took out her phone, and “clicked” a picture.
“Send it to me.” Ye Xiangting said.
Qiao Sang sent the photo over.
Ye Xiangting looked at the photo sent to her phone, revealed a satisfied expression, and turned to leave.
One minute later.
Qiao Sang silently opened her Moments.
She saw that her mother had just posted a Moment, which was the photo she had taken earlier.
The green star array was unusually prominent in the photo, with obvious signs of being brightened.
The caption was: 【A pleasant day. Going to the Pet base later. Do you have any good Pet recommendations?】
Qiao Sang: “…”
As expected…
…
Two hours later,
Hanggang City Pet Base.
Qiao Sang was holding Dental Treasure.
Steel Treasure stood quietly on his Yu Beast Master’s shoulder.
The Pet base, as a place for raising Pets, gathered a large number of Pets of different species.
But suddenly, two never-before-seen Pets appeared, causing almost all the Staff to look over.
Soon, a Staff member quickly walked over:
“Hello, do you have an appointment?”
Even though there was an adult next to her, the Staff member subconsciously looked at the young girl holding a Pet and with another Pet standing on her shoulder.
“No.” Qiao Sang shook her head.
“May I ask who wants to purchase a Pet?” the Staff member asked.
“My mom.” Qiao Sang said.
The Staff member immediately looked at the adult she had previously ignored, pretending to be shocked: “Is this your mom? She looks too young!”
Hearing this, Ye Xiangting’s smile spread uncontrollably, and she said:
“Please introduce the Pets in the base to me.”
“Okay, please follow me.” The Staff member led the way, asking as she went:
“May I ask if you have any preferences for the Pet you wish to contract?”
“I’m looking for a good-tempered, not too young, butler-type Pet,” Ye Xiangting said.
The Staff member didn’t immediately start introducing, but instead asked, “The Beginner Pets in our base are not very old. Do you mind directly contracting an Intermediate Pet?”
Ye Xiangting said without thinking, “I don’t mind.”
Her goal was not to be a Professional Beast Tamer or a Pet Coordinator. She had no talent requirements for Pets, and the level only needed to be within her controllable range.
Contracting a Pet now was just to better help herself.
“Then I suggest you look at Bobers,” the Staff member introduced. “This Pet has a horn on its head that can read the other party’s mood, just like a butler, staying by the Yu Beast Master’s side at all times to manage everything and take care of their daily life. Positive emotions are its energy source.”
She paused, then added, “Bobers are very popular, but relatively, the price might be a bit expensive.”
Ye Xiangting replied, “Let’s take a look first.”
During their conversation, Qiao Sang saw the area she had visited before.
When she saw a familiar figure, she stopped and said, “Mom, you go ahead and look, I’ll come find you later.”
“Okay.” Ye Xiangting thought her daughter needed to use the restroom, so she didn’t ask further and followed the Staff member towards the Bobers base.
Qiao Sang came to the Pet activity hall.
She remembered that it was here that she first met Little Treasure Hunting Ghost… no, to be precise, it was the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost egg…
While reminiscing, an exasperated voice rang out: “Don’t even think about extorting me! I didn’t even touch this egg just now!”
Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the voice.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
She saw Treasure Hunting Ghost holding a gray egg with yellow rings, accusing the man with snot and tears.
Standing next to him was a young man, who looked incredulous at Treasure Hunting Ghost’s crying appearance.
“Xun~”
At this moment, a Little Treasure Hunting Ghost poked its head out of the Pet egg, looked at the man, then looked up at Treasure Hunting Ghost who was crying while holding it, and its emotions were instantly infected, also bursting into tears.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
One big and one small Treasure Hunting Ghost cried profusely.
The people around them saw this scene and looked at the man with condemning eyes.
The man felt the gazes around him, his face flushed red: “I really didn’t do anything just now!”
“Steel Slash…”
Steel Treasure showed a confused expression.
Why did humans condemn humans when Pets cried? Shouldn’t they be impatient and scold the Pets not to cry?
Why did this scene feel so familiar… Qiao Sang walked over and coughed once: “Treasure Hunting Ghost, long time no see.”
Treasure Hunting Ghost glanced over here and continued to cry profusely.
Qiao Sang was helpless and called out:
“Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost appeared.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Treasure Hunting Ghost forgot to continue acting, and looked over blankly, with snot hanging down.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost stopped crying when he saw Treasure Hunting Ghost stop crying.
Seeing this, the man quickly took the opportunity to leave.
“Do you still remember me?” Qiao Sang smiled. “It was also here that you let me meet Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.”
“Xiao Xunbao?”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was stunned upon hearing this, revealing a “really?” expression.
He had no memory of it at all.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost carefully examined the Treasure Hunting Ghost staring blankly at him, then suddenly imagined something, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.
“Xiao Xunbao?!”
Could it be that you are my…
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Treasure Hunting Ghost raised his paw, indicating to stop, he wasn’t.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s tears stopped. So it wasn’t…
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Treasure Hunting Ghost looked at the human in front of him.
He had remembered.
He hadn’t expected this human to take such good care of that Little Treasure Hunting Ghost back then…
He had even been nurtured to be stronger than him…
He remembered this form seemed to be the evolution of his evolution of his evolution…
Could it be that a long time had passed?
For a moment, Treasure Hunting Ghost’s expression was a little dazed.
“Xun~”
The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, with half its body still in the Pet shell, opened its arms, looking like it wanted a hug.
Qiao Sang looked at him, thought of the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost from back then, and her heart softened. She was about to put Dental Treasure down.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Who would have thought that Little Treasure Hunting Ghost would pick up the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost from the Pet egg, coaxing him instinctively, and even making funny faces from time to time.
“Xun~”
The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was amused and giggled.
Treasure Hunting Ghost looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes rolled, his mouth drooped, and he was about to burst into tears.
Qiao Sang, who had already experienced his tricks, slowly said:
“I don’t have a contract slot now.”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Treasure Hunting Ghost’s previous expression vanished, replaced by a “tsk” expression.
“Don’t try to scam people anymore,” Qiao Sang said gently. “Now many people have watched Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s competitions and have come to like him, and this species. I believe that in the near future, even if you don’t do this, many people will actively come to contract you.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost nodded repeatedly.
Indeed, many people liked him.
Treasure Hunting Ghost looked at the human in front of him, saying nothing.
“I’m leaving now. I’ll come back to see you if I have the chance.” Qiao Sang finished speaking and glanced at Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost understood his Yu Beast Master’s meaning and reluctantly handed the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost back.
Treasure Hunting Ghost silently took the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.
Qiao Sang turned and left.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost followed.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Treasure Hunting Ghost looked at Qiao Sang and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s backs, then looked at the surrounding humans who were focused on other Pets and had never paid attention to them, remained silent for a moment, and left holding the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.
In the future, when looking for a Yu Beast Master, it’s better to find someone who likes them.
Look how well that fellow, who is already the evolution of his evolution of his evolution, is doing because his Yu Beast Master likes him. He’s so much stronger than him, and his hair has become so beautiful.
