Chapter 843: Eagle Country (two in one)

Following the directional signs, Qiao Sang arrived at the Bobers base.

As soon as she entered, she saw her mother meticulously examining a Pet that was mostly beige, bipedal, with a curly tail and a tuft of curly fur on its head, looking very satisfied.

A Staff member was enthusiastically introducing it:

“This Bobers is four years and five months old, quite mature, which meets your requirements. It often helps the Trainers at this base take care of newborn Little Bobers. It was born at our base, and when it was a Little Bobers, it was quite popular, but at that time, it had someone it liked, so it always refused to form a contract with a Yu Beast Master.”

“Later, the Little Bobers it liked was contracted away. Two days later, it suddenly evolved into a Bobers, and its popularity immediately decreased.”

“As you know, it’s not that it’s not good enough; it’s that everyone prefers to contract Beginner Pets first.”

“If it hadn’t evolved, it definitely wouldn’t have been left until now.”

“Bobers.”

The Bobers nodded, seemingly unfazed by the Staff member so directly revealing its romantic history.

“It also helps take care of newborn Little Bobers, that’s pretty good.” Ye Xiangting caught the key point.

The Fire Fang Dog Pet breeding shop she currently ran would have Fire Fang Dogs hatching periodically, and what she needed was precisely this kind of Pet that could help care for young beasts.

Seeing that the client was interested, the Staff member quickly added:

“Moreover, its talent is excellent; it picks up everything very quickly. The Trainer at the base said it should be the Bobers that evolves into a Manager Bobers the fastest at the base.”

Ye Xiangting became more and more satisfied as she listened, saying, “This is the one.”

Qiao Sang walked over and asked, “You’ve decided so quickly? Aren’t you going to look at other Pets?”

“Bobers.”

The Bobers looked over.

“No.” Ye Xiangting looked at the Bobers and smiled, “I believe in fate. When I contracted Tonghua Owl, who was still a Little Chubby Dove, I also just went to that Little Chubby Dove’s base and knew it was the one at first glance.”

“Bobers.” The Bobers looked at the speaking human and let out a solemn cry.

“What did it say?” Ye Xiangting understood that the Bobers was talking to her and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“Steel Slash.”

Before the Staff member could speak, Steel Treasure, who had been quiet, let out a cry, helping to translate.

Older Pets really do give a different feeling than younger Pets… After hearing the translation, Qiao Sang glanced at the Bobers and said,

“It said it won’t disappoint you.”

The Staff member rejoiced inwardly, thinking, this deal is secure.

Sure enough, the next second, she heard the client’s voice:

“How much is this Bobers?”

Payment, contract, all in one go.

Thus, Qiao Sang and her mother walked out of the Pet base with the 1.19 million alliance coins Bobers.

…

6:30 PM.

The Bobers helped place the Energy Pills one by one onto the plates, serving them to Tooth Treasure and the others.

Qiao Sang sat at the dining table, watching this scene, and sighed:

“This Bobers is really smart. I only told it once at noon, and by evening, it remembered whose Energy Pills were whose.”

Ye Xiangting took a sip of soup and smiled, “Of course, you don’t even look at who chose the Pet.”

“Mom, have you packed everything? I bought tickets for tomorrow morning at 10:20.” Qiao Sang remembered the important matter and asked.

“I finished tidying up when I got back at noon.” Ye Xiangting said, “I can only stay there with you for a maximum of one week, so I don’t have much stuff.”

Qiao Sang replied:

“Once we get there, I’ll accompany you to look around properly. I’ll probably start school in about a week.”

The winter break itself was only a little over a month of rest. She had already spent about a month on the starship and stayed home for two days. By the time she went, she could actually report to school.

“You just got back and are starting school right away. Won’t that be too tiring? Do you want me to talk to the teachers there and ask them to let you rest for a few more days?” Ye Xiangting asked worriedly.

A year ago, she wouldn’t have been able to utter a single word of this.

But now, she had absolute confidence in her daughter, believing that even if she rested for a few more days, it wouldn’t delay her studies.

“No need.” Qiao Sang refused, “I have Dew Treasure. No matter how tired I am, it’s just a matter of a Healing Light.”

“Ice Ai.”

Dew Treasure, eating its Energy Pill, took a moment to let out a cry, agreeing with its Yu Beast Master.

The Bobers ate its Energy Pill with its head down, as if uninterested in these words.

Steel Treasure silently glanced at it.

…

9:00 PM.

Outdoor training ground.

The Bobers looked up at the moon in the sky, with a longing expression.

The entire scene was filled with a sense of tranquility.

“Boom boom boom…”

However, the violent explosions occasionally sounding not far away shattered this tranquility.

“Bobers…”

The Bobers’ newly formed emotions were interrupted. It couldn’t help but glance at the red and gray figures continuously releasing skills, then pulled its ears down, stuffing the tips into its ear holes, and continued to look up at the moon.

At this moment, a charred figure flew backward from the position where the skills had just clashed.

“Bobers!”

With its ears plugged, the Bobers didn’t react at all and was hit by the charred figure, pinned to the ground.

A blue light shone over.

The somewhat dizzy Bobers’ mind instantly recovered, and it clearly saw that the one who had crashed onto it was the Pet named Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao, fully recovered, looked at its big brother Tooth Treasure in the sky, then looked at Steel Treasure who had just come out of the house. It immediately felt that it couldn’t lose face in front of its only little brother. Gritting its teeth, it shouted and Space Moved over.

“Boom boom boom…”

Violent explosions quickly sounded again.

“Bobers…”

The Bobers got up from the ground, left its original spot, walked to a place further away from Tooth Treasure and Xiao Xunbao, and once again looked up at the moon, showing a longing expression.

“Steel Slash.”

Soon after, a voice sounded beside it.

The Bobers turned its head, recognizing it as the Pet named Steel Treasure.

“Bobers?”

The Bobers politely called out, asking if something was wrong?

“Steel Slash?”

Steel Treasure looked at it, calling out calmly, asking why it was now willing to form a contract with a human when it wasn’t before?

This question caught the Bobers off guard. It hesitated for a moment and called out:

“Bobers.”

The Little Bobers it used to like was gone, so there was no need for it to stay there anymore.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure immediately called out.

So you contracted with a human to get out of that place and find that Little Bobers.

“Bobers…”

The Bobers was a little startled.

So, so smart…

“Steel Slash.”

Seeing that the Bobers wasn’t hiding anything, Steel Treasure called out, kindly reminding it.

Since you’ve contracted, stay well by your Yu Beast Master’s side. Your Yu Beast Master is a good person; don’t think about secretly running away.

“Bobers?”

The Bobers showed a bewildered expression.

Why would it secretly run away?

“Steel Slash?”

Steel Treasure was a bit stunned by the other party’s reaction, then it called out.

Isn’t your goal to come out and find that Little Bobers?

“Bobers.”

The Bobers understood Steel Treasure’s meaning and showed an expression of “How could you think that?”

Since it had contracted, it naturally wouldn’t secretly run away. At most, once it got familiar with the home, it would ask its Yu Beast Master for help in finding the Little Bobers.

“Steel Slash…”

Steel Treasure was silent for two seconds, then called out, indicating that it was good that it thought that way.

After speaking, it turned and left.

It had clearly realized that this place was indeed different from where it used to be, whether it was the humans or the Pets.

“Bobers…”

The Bobers watched Steel Treasure’s back for a while, then looked up at the moon in the sky again.

Just as the longing in its eyes was brewing, a charred figure fell from high in the sky, once again accurately hitting it.

“Bobers…”

So, so scary. It could even hit it like this…

…

Time flew by.

Night gradually turned into day, then twilight, and then night again.

As the sun first rose, an airplane emerged from the sea of clouds, and a bustling city appeared below.

The gentle reminder of the flight attendant came from the loudspeaker:

“The plane is descending. Please fasten your seatbelts, passengers, and do not move around.”

Soon, the plane landed successfully.

Qiao Sang got off the plane and immediately summoned Tooth Treasure and the others.

Ye Xiangting saw her daughter with Dew Treasure on her back, Tooth Treasure in her arms, and Steel Treasure standing on her shoulder, and subconsciously asked:

“Isn’t it heavy?”

Qiao Sang shook her head: “Not heavy. My physique is great now.”

She was definitely not showing off. After several months of brutal defense training, she felt she could now solo a Beginner Fighting-type Pet.

After all, in Steel Treasure’s last battle on Super Dormant Star, its opponent was a General-level Pet, and she could still think calmly even when Steel Treasure was continuously severely injured.

As they talked, Steel Treasure, who was beside them, flapped its wings and silently flew to the side.

Ye Xiangting realized that her daughter was now a Yu Beast Master with four General-level Pets, so she didn’t say much. She called for Tonghua Owl to enlarge, climbed onto its back, and began to navigate.

She had been to Eagle Country twice before for the house, so she was somewhat familiar with the place. She couldn’t help but worry:

“Don’t think that Eagle Country is very prosperous and that the Imperial Beast Academy is also here. In reality, it’s much more chaotic than our Dragon Country. Be careful when you go out in the future; wild Pets might appear at any time.”

How much more chaotic could it be than the Lower Tenth District of Super Dormant Star… Qiao Sang glanced at the Flying-type Pets flying in an orderly fashion around them, silently complained inwardly, and said:

“Don’t worry, as long as no King-level or Emperor-level Pets pop out, I can handle them.”

Before coming, she had actually specifically researched Eagle Country online.

This country was powerful, a superpower like Dragon Country, but the environment here was not as safe as Dragon Country because most of the secret realms in Eagle Country were unstable, and secret realm cracks would appear out of nowhere from time to time, with wild Pets emerging from them.

But fortunately, the guards here were strong and could subdue wild Pets in time, so there hadn’t been any major disturbances in recent years.

“I heard that a King-level Pet emerged in the uninhabited area about two months ago.” Ye Xiangting said in a deep voice.

Qiao Sang understood that her mother was worried about her and comforted her:

“It’s fine. Xiao Xunbao can Space Movement. If I can’t win, I can escape.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Hearing her Yu Beast Master talk about her, Xiao Xunbao appeared, patted its chest, indicating not to worry, with it around, they would definitely run fast.

Qiao Sang glanced at it but didn’t translate.

Ye Xiangting felt relieved upon hearing this and focused on leading the way.

After about an hour, Tonghua Owl landed in a villa area.

The location was excellent, with many well-known brand stores and various facilities nearby.

“This is it, Bo Sai Manor 101.” Ye Xiangting said, looking at the modern villa with large curved floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao looked dazed. This scene, this dialogue, was exactly like the dream Aodinihi had after playing the flute…

Qiao Sang praised at the right time: “Mom, you have good taste.”

“Of course!” Ye Xiangting said with a smile, opening the door: “I remembered all your requirements, and it’s very close to the Imperial Beast Academy, just a ten-minute walk. The original owner of this house wanted a very high price, but after hearing you were a new student at the Imperial Beast Academy, she voluntarily lowered the price for me.”

When she spoke the latter half of the sentence, her tone couldn’t help but carry a hint of pride.

“I didn’t expect becoming a student of the Imperial Beast Academy to come with so many benefits.” Qiao Sang said, stepping into the living room.

Marble tabletop, leather sofa, metal decorations…

Qiao Sang looked at everything familiar yet strange before her, thought of something, and pressed the light button nearby with a “snap.”

The lights came on brightly.

Warm-toned lighting… everything matched up… this was where Xiao Xunbao was going to evolve next… Qiao Sang looked at everything before her, her heart warming.

“Isn’t it still daytime? Why turn on the lights?” Ye Xiangting asked.

Qiao Sang chuckled: “Nothing, just looking at the color of the lights.”

With that, she turned off the lights.

The lights in the predicted scene were on, so it seemed Xiao Xunbao should evolve at night… Qiao Sang remembered the details and subconsciously began to analyze.

…

An hour later.

A restaurant near Bo Sai Manor.

A fox-like Pet, only about seventy centimeters tall, bipedal, and wearing a uniform, brought the food.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to start eating, she noticed that the Pet was still standing quietly.

“Pets here basically accept tips for their work.” Ye Xiangting said, pulling out a paper 5 alliance coins and handing it over.

“Xie Xie.”

The fox-like Pet took the alliance coins, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.

Qiao Sang suddenly said, “I know why this restaurant hired this Pet.”

“Why?” Ye Xiangting asked cooperatively.

“Because ‘Xie Xie’ is a homophone for ‘thank you.’” Qiao Sang said earnestly.

Ye Xiangting: “…”

“That should be a wild Pet.” Ye Xiangting explained, “When I came here before, I noticed many Pets here act alone. Later, when I chatted with the original homeowner, I learned that most of the ones acting alone are wild Pets.”

“Eagle Country has many secret realm cracks. If some wild Pets can’t go back, the government here will selectively recruit them, and if suitable, they will be given identities to work.”

“And these Pets that stay basically wear identity collars that represent them as wild Pets. The Pet just now had one around its neck.”

PS: Another day without taking leave. (End of this chapter)
