Chapter 876: Lead to the tail (two in one)

If this Mechanical-type Pet could be mass-produced, there would be no need to worry about monopolizing the entire intergalactic express delivery industry… Qiao Sang’s expression was much calmer the second time she saw this mechanical claw. She reached out and took the potion bottle.

The mechanical claw slowly retracted into the screen.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao placed a sunflower seed on the mechanical claw and then stared at it curiously.

The mechanical claw paused, then retracted, taking the sunflower seed with it.

In the screen, the ripples dissipated.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao showed an excited expression to her Yu Beast Master.

“Did you see it? Did you see it? That sunflower seed is gone!”

“I didn’t expect this Mechanical-type Pet could directly take things back. If the computer screen was big enough, could I also be pulled in and instantly return to the Imperial Beast Academy… Probably not. What it can take are likely only items, otherwise, it would be too heaven-defying…” Qiao Sang thought to herself, subconsciously nodding as she said:

“I saw it…”

Then she collected her thoughts and looked at Xiao Xunbao: “Why haven’t you gone to train yet?”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s body stiffened and began to condense energy, casting Light Wall.

To show her Yu Beast Master that it was training, it did not change its position at all.

Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze and placed the shrinking potion aside.

It was still unknown how much shrinking potion Steel Treasure could absorb, but if it absorbed it well, it might be able to evolve directly into a Steel Sword Falcon. In that case, it would definitely need to be consumed outside. It was better to wait until they went to the training ground before giving it to Steel Treasure…

Qiao Sang continued to look at the Point exchange column.

【Name: Feather of Legend】

【Type: Feather】

【Function: Enhances Pet’s aura, or find the legendary Seven-Headed Bone Bird through the aura on the Feather of Legend.】

【Remarks: The Feather of Legend is a feather from the Seven-Headed Bone Bird. Note that the Seven-Headed Bone Bird only has one feather on each head. While you can find it through the aura on the feather, it can also sense the feather on you. If your strength is insufficient, do not exchange it to avoid seeking death.】

【Points: 100000】

One hundred thousand Points for just one feather from the Seven-Headed Bone Bird, that’s too exaggerated. Things from this legendary Pet are really expensive… Qiao Sang sighed, then browsed a few other items she was interested in.

【Name: Ghost Crystal】

【Type: Consumable】

【Function: Contains vast Ghost-type energy, deeply loved by Ghost-type Pets, and can help Ghost-type Pets increase their current stage’s energy absorption limit.】

【Remarks: All impurities in the crystal have been purified. Please feel free to let your Ghost-type Pet absorb it.】

【Points: 5000】

…

【Name: Energy Life Disk】

【Type: Auxiliary Tool】

【Function: Detects unactivated attribute energy within a Pet’s body through the Energy Life Disk. It can assist in deducing which attribute energy accounts for the largest proportion among the unactivated energies, to determine which form is suitable for the Pet’s next development.】

【Remarks: If the Pet has already reached its species limit, the detected energy will be the unactivated attribute energy at the current stage.】

【Points: 5000】

The Imperial Beast Academy really has a lot of good stuff… Qiao Sang fell into deep thought as she looked at the information on the Energy Life Disk.

This item could undoubtedly help a Yu Beast Master determine which form was more suitable for their Pet in the next stage, but the next evolution forms of Tooth Treasure and Steel Treasure, and how many there were, were still unknown. Even if detected, she wouldn’t know which direction to develop them.

As for Xiao Xunbao and Lu Bao, their subsequent evolution chains only had one path, with no branches.

Although she held a huge sum of 9695 Points, she would mostly be developing outside in the coming time, with few opportunities to earn Points, so it was better to be cautious… Qiao Sang thought for a moment and chose not to exchange it.

After roughly browsing all the currently exchangeable items, she closed the computer, picked up the shrinking potion, and looked at Steel Treasure:

“We’re going to the training ground now.”

“Steel Slash.” Steel Treasure nodded.

…

Yu Beast Center.

Outdoor training ground.

Qiao Sang stood still at training ground No. 9.

Discussions from around them constantly entered her ears:

“Holy cow, I was so scared just now. I was walking on the road, and suddenly hundreds of identical Fire-type Pets rushed over.”

“I saw them too. They’re training at ground No. 2 now. There’s also a group of identical Flying-type Pets at ground No. 5.”

“They seem to be clones. I saw that group of Fire-type Pets train for a while, and some skills would suddenly disappear when cast.”

“I don’t know what those Fire-type Pets are called, but they look really good and can fly. I’m going to include them in my list of candidates for my next contracted Pet.”

“I checked with my Pet Identifier. They’re called Flame Qilu, Pets from the Yu Hua region. As for those Flying-type Pets, I don’t know their origin; I can’t find anything about them.”

“Speaking of which, they all seem to be training by themselves. I really want to ask their Yu Beast Master how they get their Pets to be so self-disciplined.”

Qiao Sang automatically blocked out the surrounding sounds and handed the shrinking potion to Steel Treasure.

Then, thinking of something, she pulled back the hand holding the potion and said:

“You enlarge your body first.”

If the potion was taken and absorbed to the Point of evolution, it would naturally be best to maintain the original body size.

Otherwise, if the miniature shrinking bracelet was still in use, it might be directly scrapped due to the evolution of a large Pet.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure nodded.

Subsequently, its body slowly grew larger.

The surrounding sounds, which had suddenly intensified, once again entered her ears:

“Look! This is the Flying-type Pet that the Pet Identifier couldn’t identify!”

“Good heavens, so its body is this big! Is this a General-level Pet or a King-level Pet?”

“I don’t know. My Pet Identifier can’t identify it at all.”

“Is that girl with the ponytail the Yu Beast Master of this Flying-type Pet? She looks really young.”

“Wait! Look quickly! That Fire-type Pet is also by her side!”

“So, the Yu Beast Master of both of these Pets is her?”

“That must be right. Both of those Pets train with clones, and their training methods are the same. It’s highly likely they were cultivated by the same Yu Beast Master. Moreover, we don’t have either of these two types of Pets here, but this girl has both of them by her side. Who else could it be?”

More and more onlookers gathered.

Normally, upon seeing a Pet not typically found on the streets, people would at most glance at it and use a Pet Identifier, not specifically gather to watch.

However, earlier, a large group of identical Pets rushed out, and the spectacular scene instantly attracted everyone’s attention, especially since neither of these two Pet types was found in the Central Hollow region.

More importantly, one of the Flying-type Pets couldn’t be identified by the Pet Identifier.

This further piqued everyone’s interest.

Now, the Pet at the center of the discussion was right before their eyes, growing larger, seemingly about to do something. There was no reason not to watch.

Why does it feel like everyone is watching… Qiao Sang tried to ignore the gazes of the surrounding people and handed the shrinking potion to Xiao Xunbao:

“Give this to Steel Treasure.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao took the potion, floated upwards, and stopped in front of Steel Treasure.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure raised its wing, ready to take it.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao wiggled a short toe.

Your wings are too big, it’s hard to hold. I’ll feed it to you directly.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure looked at the size of the potion bottle, didn’t fuss, nodded, and opened its mouth.

Xiao Xunbao opened the potion and poured it into Steel Treasure’s mouth.

Steel Treasure swallowed.

If Steel Treasure evolved successfully, she would officially be a Yu Beast Master with one King-level Pet and three General-level Pets… Although she knew Steel Treasure’s evolution was only a matter of time, Qiao Sang still unconsciously felt nervous.

Time passed bit by bit.

The wind was calm, and nothing happened.

The people around began to whisper:

“What are they doing?”

“I don’t know. She just fed that Pet a bottle of potion, and then did nothing else.”

“Let’s wait a bit. Maybe it will train later. If it wasn’t going to train, she wouldn’t have come to the training ground.”

“Good Point. There’s no need to specially come here just to absorb a potion.”

As they conversed, a dazzling white light suddenly illuminated the area.

All sounds abruptly ceased.

Everyone stared blankly upwards, looking at the all-too-familiar light.

So, coming to the training ground, making the Pet bigger, and feeding it the potion wasn’t for better training, but for the Pet to evolve?

After their initial shock, everyone looked at the increasingly large silhouette under the white light, feeling more or less envious and longing.

Although the Pet in front of them couldn’t be identified, its size and aura alone indicated a very high level.

Seeing other people’s Pets evolve to a higher level always made them imagine their own Pets evolving and becoming powerful in the future.

Yu Beast Masters have a pursuit and longing for High-level Pets deeply imprinted in their genes.

It evolved… Qiao Sang’s heart filled with joy.

Although she had mentally prepared for Steel Treasure possibly evolving after absorbing the potion, the actual evolution still brought an unconscious surge of pleasant surprise.

These 300 Points were well spent…

No wonder talented Yu Beast Masters mostly come from people with background and resources. If these good things are used often, even if one isn’t a genius, they can still create a genius in the eyes of the public…

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao saw the light of evolution, first paused, then excitedly waved its claws.

The little brother becoming stronger meant its own status as the boss was rising in value!

“Tooth Treasure!”

Tooth Treasure wagged its tail, happy for its companion’s evolution.

Lu Bao poked its head out of the backpack and watched silently.

The white light gradually receded, revealing a Pet about ten meters in size, almost entirely covered in silver, steel-hard armor, with exposed purple feathers resembling sharp blades, appearing in everyone’s sight.

Its dark red eyes were exceptionally sharp, giving people a fear of meeting its gaze.

Someone, no one knew who, first swallowed their saliva and whispered:

“Is this Pet King-level, or Emperor-level?”

“King-level, probably. If it were an Emperor-level Pet, its aura seems a bit too weak, and its body size is also quite a bit smaller relative to an Emperor-level Pet.” The person next to him replied.

“Why do I feel like it’s not a King-level Pet? I’ve had close contact with King-level Pets, and I feel their aura wasn’t this weak.”

“Maybe this Pet just evolved. Its body is so big, it can’t possibly be a General-level Pet.”

The person who had originally raised the question fell silent.

“This girl looks so young, yet she’s already cultivated a King-level Pet. I really don’t know how she did it…”

“Don’t be deceived by appearances. For powerful Yu Beast Masters, appearance is never trustworthy.”

“You have a Point. Maybe her real age is older than all of us.” The person who said this kept their voice very low, afraid of being overheard.

More and more people joined the discussion.

Some, realizing belatedly, pulled out their phones to take pictures.

There were also some who wanted to go forward and strike up a conversation, but were deterred by the unknown nature of this newly evolved Flying-type Pet, imagining it as powerful and aloof, and dared not approach casually.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure slowly shrank and flew to its Yu Beast Master’s side.

Regarding its own evolution, Steel Treasure showed no particular joy.

It understood that even if it evolved and became stronger this time, it would still be the weakest in the team.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao, however, was even more excited than Steel Treasure, yelling excitedly and floating around.

Once Steel Treasure’s information is updated, I can probably go accept missions… Qiao Sang took out her phone, checked the time, and quickly planned her next steps.

She put down her phone and walked towards the service hall of the Yu Beast Center.

After only two steps, she saw Teacher Mi Jiala in the crowd.

Qiao Sang quickly walked over, surprised:

“Teacher, why are you here?”

Mi Jiala smiled: “You made such a big commotion, I heard the noise from here in my room. How could I not come?”

After hearing this, Qiao Sang’s first thought was:

As expected of an S-rank big shot, she can hear the commotion from so far away from the accommodation area…

Her second thought was:

This is an S-rank big shot, so hearing from such a distance seems quite normal…

The surrounding crowd hadn’t completely dispersed yet.

Feeling everyone’s gaze and recalling her teacher’s words, Qiao Sang felt slightly embarrassed internally, but maintained a calm expression, only quickening her pace.

Mi Jiala glanced at the evolved Steel Treasure, satisfied:

“Not bad. I just told you, and you immediately used Points to purchase the correct potion.”

Mainly because that potion didn’t feel expensive… Qiao Sang said earnestly: “One must listen to what the teacher says, right?”

Mi Jiala felt pleased upon hearing this, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve into a smile.

Although this monstrous student always had unexpected ways of surprising her, thankfully, they were all positive, and she was obedient enough.

“What are you planning to do next?” Mi Jiala asked.

“First, update Steel Treasure’s information, then go accept missions.” Qiao Sang stated her plan.

“I suggest you go accept the mission first,” Mi Jiala said. “Your Steel Sword Falcon is a Pet from Super Dormant Star, and it’s an entirely new evolution form, the first of its kind. It will definitely take a lot of time to update its information. By the time the information is updated, the Staff who posted the mission might have already gone off duty.”

That makes sense… Qiao Sang recalled her past experiences of updating Tooth Treasure and Steel Treasure’s information, which involved calling superiors repeatedly. She immediately turned around and walked towards the elevator.

“I won’t accompany you there,” Mi Jiala said.

“Okay.” Qiao Sang nodded, hugged Tooth Treasure, and rode the elevator alone to the third floor.

“Knock knock.”

She knocked on the door of the assessment office.

“Yin yin.” A Pet’s voice came from inside.

Qiao Sang paused, then raised her hand to knock again.

“Tooth Treasure.”

At this moment, Tooth Treasure barked, indicating that the fellow inside said to come in.

So that sound just now was for me… Qiao Sang turned the doorknob, pushed the door open, and walked in.

She saw that the usual Judge’s desk was occupied by a rat-like Pet with a black and off-white body, a tail that seemed to be one with its body, making it hard to tell where the tail began, two pointed ears, and silver-rimmed glasses.

Yin Xiangwei, a General-level Normal-type Pet, agile and very flexible, skilled at digging mazes underground. Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with the Pet’s information. She glanced at its desk, then at its official-looking demeanor, and hesitated:

“Judge?”

She remembered that Pets on Yan Tian Star could work independently and serve as various leaders. Perhaps some places in the Central Hollow region were also like this, after all, the Central Hollow region was much more developed than the Yu Hua region.

The rat-like Pet paused, then showed an official-looking smile:

“Yin yin.”

“Tooth Treasure.”

Tooth Treasure translated promptly.

It said it isn’t.

Qiao Sang: “…”

The energy value in the previous chapter was incorrect. I mistakenly thought the energy value was the Point value of the level. It has now been corrected.
