Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 875: Shortening potion (two in one)
Points? Qiao Sang was stunned.
To be honest, she had been so focused on the assessment tasks recently that she hadn’t thought about the school’s Points…
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, “I feel like I still need to spend the Points on something more useful.”
Steel Treasure’s internal energy had already reached the mid-stage, and its Points had accumulated. If it went to one or two more Secret Realms, it would probably gather enough Points for evolution.
The Imperial Beast Academy’s Points could be exchanged for rare materials not available on the market. Exchanging Points for energy absorption materials seemed a bit wasteful for her.
After all, this kind of resource could be completely replaced by Points.
Unless it was like the energy pool where Lu Bao soaked and absorbed energy on Super Dormant Star, which could instantly boost a General-level Pet’s early-stage energy to late-stage perfection without side effects, directly saving years or even decades of a Pet’s energy absorption time, there was really no need to exchange for it.
“Do you know what a genius like you, who suddenly appeared, lacks most when trying to catch up with others in Di Class?” Mi Jiala asked.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:
“More resources?”
Mi Jiala shook her head and said, “No, it’s time.”
Qiao Sang waved her hand:
“There’s nothing I can do about that. When they became Di Class students, I probably hadn’t even been born yet.”
She still remembered that the oldest classmate in her class was 87 years old, comparable to a great-grandfather.
“But you’ve already caught up with most of the genius Yu Beast Masters who are ten or even twenty years older than you, haven’t you? Since you and those people in Di Class are now in the same class, why not try to catch up with them? You know, your goal is the Interstellar Cup, and you’ll be competitors sooner or later.”
Qiao Sang was a bit bewildered by this.
Wasn’t it a bit too early to consider those other students in Di Class as competitors with her current strength?
Teacher Mi Jiala actually thought so highly of her…
Qiao Sang tactfully said:
“I might not be able to participate in the same Interstellar Cup as them.”
Mi Jiala looked over: “Before the age of 30, reaching 50% brain domain and becoming a B-Grade Professional Pet Tamer is the minimum standard for entering Di Class. There are quite a few students in Di Class who are still B-Grade Professional Pet Tamers.”
This meant there were quite a few young people in Di Class as well.
If they were only a dozen years older than her, then the probability of participating in the same Interstellar Cup was quite high… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and tentatively asked, “You want me to exchange for resources that can significantly boost Steel Treasure’s energy to save time?”
“Exactly.” Mi Jiala nodded: “When resources should be used, they should be used. Using resources to save time is the correct choice. You should know that while you are progressing, others are also progressing. You should shorten the time faster than them. You should know, your Flame Qilu and Steel Slash Giant Falcon…”
At this Point, she paused and corrected herself: “No, it should be Steel Sword Falcon. Their next evolution forms and evolution paths are still unknown. You still need to explore their evolution chain, while others already have perfect evolution paths and don’t need to spend such time. This is the time others save.”
Steel Sword Falcon, she didn’t expect Teacher Mi Jiala to even know this name. This race name hadn’t been officially registered yet. It seemed Teacher Pilit had told her everything… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.
She had to admit, Teacher Mi Jiala’s last sentence really resonated with her.
Cultivating a new evolution form for a Pet was a great thing for any Yu Beast Master, but not necessarily for a Professional Beast Tamer.
Because Professional Beast Tamers need to continuously unearth their Pet’s talents, increase their strength, and strive to evolve them to their racial limit.
However, the next stage of a Pet’s brand new evolution form is completely unknown, and it’s uncertain what level the racial limit is. Yu Beast Masters need to spend more time and energy researching how to make their Pets evolve.
Even with researchers actively helping, it’s unknown when the next stage of evolution will be researched.
With this time, Professional Beast Tamers who started at the same line would probably have already surpassed themselves.
She had Gold Finger, so she could directly add Points to make her Pets evolve, so the pressure wouldn’t be too great.
But the problem was, she wanted Ya Bao and the others to evolve into their most suitable forms in the most perfect state.
This wasn’t as simple as just adding Points.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have used the dream enlightenment stone for Ya Bao, collected S-grade evolution resources for Xiao Xunbao, and made Lu Bao evolve according to their race’s abnormal evolution conditions.
Speaking of which, although Steel Treasure was also a brand new evolution form, it was the most worry-free among them…
Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts and nodded, “I understand.”
Not to mention whether there were resources that could directly and significantly boost Steel Treasure’s energy without side effects, the items redeemable with Points might just have items similar to the dream enlightenment stone.
Anyway, this was the Imperial Beast Academy. The resources inside should definitely be better than those at Sainan High School.
She really needed to take some time to look at the redeemable items.
As they talked, Steel Treasure passed through thick white clouds, and various uniquely shaped high-rise buildings emerged.
At this moment, the navigation voice sounded: “This navigation is about to end. The Yu Beast Center is directly below. Next, you can start walking navigation.”
As soon as the voice fell, Steel Treasure flew downwards.
They arrived? Qiao Sang’s spirits lifted.
She knew that the scene she had dreamed of was not inside the Yongtian City Yu Beast Center. Judging from the conversation between the two people in the dream, the scene should have been above the Yongtian City Yu Beast Center.
That is, here… Qiao Sang observed the surrounding scenery and found that it was just ordinary blue sky and white clouds, with nothing special about it.
If it weren’t for that conversation, even if she had dreamed it, she would never have known the exact location.
That Dragon-type Pet Beast, whose exact appearance couldn’t be seen, only knowing that the edges of its wings were serrated and it had a horn on its head, also didn’t appear…
Qiao Sang didn’t give up and sensed her yu beast codex and brain domain again.
There was no change whatsoever.
Alright, the place was right, but the time might not be… Qiao Sang gave up.
She didn’t know the exact time, so she couldn’t just stay above the Yu Beast Center all day…
Amidst her melancholy, Steel Treasure landed on the ground.
Qiao Sang dismounted.
After Mi Jiala also dismounted, Steel Treasure slowly shrank and flew to its Yu Beast Master’s side.
The two walked into the Yu Beast Center.
This time, Qiao Sang did not act alone.
Because a lot of time was wasted at air traffic control, almost all departments of the Yu Beast Center, except for the medical and accommodation departments, had already reached their lunch break.
After a simple check-in, the two headed to the accommodation area.
“Let me know when you figure out what the assessment task is,” Mi Jiala instructed.
“Okay.” Qiao Sang nodded.
Three minutes later, she took out her pet tamer badge, scanned the door of room 1908, and pushed it open.
Mi Jiala walked into the room next door.
Qiao Sang was quite satisfied with Teacher Mi Jiala’s habit of always booking two rooms.
She believed that if her 1v1 teacher was still Pilit, and she was a male, he would definitely only book one room.
She wondered how Teacher Pilit and the Vice Principal were doing now, and if they had also reached the predicted location like her… Qiao Sang half-lay on the bed, took out her phone, and opened the Imperial Beast Academy’s official website.
“Ya Ya!”
Suddenly, Ya Bao next to her cried out, indicating it wanted to go train.
Qiao Sang: “…”
“Wait for me, I’ll go with you after I look at something.” Qiao Sang said.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao cried out, indicating it didn’t need her.
After saying that, hundreds of identical Flame Qilus instantly appeared in the room.
Ya Bao’s eyes glowed blue.
The door opened automatically.
Hundreds of Flame Qilus rushed out one after another.
Alright, that’s competitive… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and instructed, “Go to an empty training ground, don’t go to the wrong place.”
“Ya!”
Ya Bao nodded and used telekinesis to close the door again.
“Steel Slash…”
Steel Treasure recalled the scene just now, showing a thoughtful expression, and then condensed energy.
Dozens of identical small Steel Slash Giant Falcons instantly appeared in the room.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and looked at Steel Treasure: “You’re going to train too?”
“Steel Slash.”
Steel Treasure nodded.
The next second, dozens of small Steel Slash Giant Falcons flew out from the window.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao watched from the side, sighing repeatedly.
Competitive, it was truly too competitive.
Isn’t it better to just relax and eat something… Xiao Xunbao silently took off its ring and rummaged inside.
Lu Bao glanced at Ya Bao, and without a word, walked out the door.
“Wait!” Qiao Sang, who had just lowered her head to log into the official website, heard the movement, looked up, and seeing Lu Bao’s direction, hesitated, “You’re not planning to go out and train too, are you?”
“Ice Emperor.”
Lu Bao stopped, turned to look at its Yu Beast Master, and nodded.
“Ya Ya…”
Ya Bao gazed at Lu Bao, then seemed to think of something, and once again condensed clones. Hundreds of identical Flame Qilus appeared in the room again, and then the door opened, and they quickly darted outside.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Lu Bao: “…”
Xiao Xunbao: “…”
“Steel Slash…”
Only Steel Treasure showed an expression of admiration.
After a brief two-second silence, Lu Bao walked out the door.
“Wait.” Qiao Sang stopped her: “You should change your training method now.”
“Ice Emperor?”
Lu Bao turned, showing a puzzled expression.
“Now that you’ve evolved, you’ve awakened three new skills: Avalanche, Ice Armor, and Energy Regeneration.” Qiao Sang said: “Among them, Ice Armor and Energy Regeneration can be practiced both in the room and normally in your backpack.”
“Now, just repeatedly practice Ice Armor and Energy Regeneration, that’s enough. You don’t need to go out specifically.”
Ice Armor is primarily for defense. Once proficiency increases, Ice Armor can be continuously cast, allowing for attacks while defending.
The importance of Energy Regeneration goes without saying.
After Lu Bao evolved, the new skills naturally needed to be trained.
It was just that she hadn’t expected to waste half a month in the Secret Realm, and was eager to make up for the lost time on tasks, so she rushed to complete new tasks and didn’t think about training.
“Ice Emperor.”
Just as Qiao Sang thought Lu Bao would question why not practice offensive skills, Lu Bao nodded, turned around and returned to its original position to lie down, its body beginning to emit cold air and condense Ice Armor.
Why does it feel like Lu Bao’s temper has improved a lot after evolving… Qiao Sang felt a little relieved and retracted her gaze.
Just then, her gaze passed over Xiao Xunbao, who was cracking sunflower seeds.
Xiao Xunbao, while cracking sunflower seeds, blinked.
“You go train too,” Qiao Sang said expressionlessly.
Xiao Xunbao: “…”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Good thing only Xiao Xunbao was so uncooperative… Qiao Sang muttered to herself, then lowered her head and logged into her account on the school’s official website.
She clicked on the Points exchange section.
She saw that it was divided into major and minor categories, very detailed.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to check them one by one, her phone vibrated. It was a message from Teacher Mi Jiala:
[I forgot to tell you, Di Class students have exclusive Points exchange. The resources above are not available to ordinary students. You can check them by clicking on your profile and then entering Di Class.]
[Oh, and it’s best to use a computer.]
As expected of Di Class, they even have exclusive Points exchange… But why is it better to use a computer? Is there a difference from a phone… Qiao Sang was someone who listened to advice, so she turned to Xiao Xunbao, who was about to train Light Wall, and said:
“Get the computer out.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao stopped its movements and quickly took out the computer.
Qiao Sang opened the computer, logged into the Imperial Beast Academy’s official website, clicked on ‘Profile’, and entered ‘Di Class’.
The entire page background instantly changed to a cool black, becoming much more high-end.
She clicked on ‘Points Exclusive Exchange’.
A series of never-before-heard item materials appeared on the page.
Qiao Sang randomly clicked on one:
[Name: Life Reversal]
[Type: Consumable]
[Function: Helps the Pet return to the period when its potential was at its best.]
[Note: It does not make the Pet revert to childhood, but rather restores the Pet’s internal potential to its most potent year, effective for one year. Please do not use it on young Pets to avoid waste.]
[Points: 2000]
This potential thing can actually be restored, that’s amazing… Qiao Sang marveled while clicking on another name she was more interested in.
[Name: Shortening Potion]
[Type: Potion]
[Function: Increases energy and shortens the time required for energy absorption.]
[Note: Helps the Pet absorb increased energy in a short period without side effects. One bottle can help a Pet increase its energy by approximately 50,000 to 100,000. The specific amount absorbed still depends on the Pet’s physique. Pets that have taken this potion more than three times are not recommended to take it again.]
[Points: 300]
Isn’t this the resource Teacher Mi Jiala mentioned? I thought it was a potion to shorten size… Increasing energy by 50,000 to 100,000, if Steel Treasure absorbs it properly, one bottle could directly make it evolve… Such a practical item, there’s no news of it on the market at all. If this were on the market, it would surely sell like crazy… My Points are still 9995, and 300 Points doesn’t seem very expensive… Qiao Sang was itching to buy it.
After a brief consideration, she selected one bottle.
She pressed exchange.
Instantly, a window popped up:
[Please wait… ]
One minute later, the window was still there.
It couldn’t be stuck, could it… Qiao Sang frowned slightly, preparing to close the page and try again.
At this moment, the computer screen went black.
Immediately after, ripples appeared on the screen.
This scene felt so familiar… Qiao Sang was stunned.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao floated over, interested.
A mechanical claw with a black iron luster and an extremely complex structure extended from it, then opened, revealing a bottle of white potion.
