Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 895: Beast Tamer Monitoring (two in one)

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded, indicating no problem.

Practicing Charm with the future little brother was much better than training with Brother Yabao.

“Qingqing.”

Just as Qiao Sang thought the matter was settled, Qingqing Ni blinked her pure eyes and called out, asking if she could go out and find more objects to practice Charm on. Otherwise, practicing against only one target would be very boring.

Qiao Sang: “…”

To be honest, she hadn’t expected Qingbao to make such a request.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao patted Qingbao’s head like an older brother and called out, indicating that training was always like this, and she would get used to it later.

“Xiao Xunbao is right,” Qiao Sang said. “Training itself is boring. Charm might have a training target, but many skills can only be practiced alone.”

“Qingqing.”

Qingqing Ni nodded after hearing this, indicating she understood.

Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Qingbao just had her own ideas, but she was still very obedient in reality.

Immediately, she thought of something and said,

“There’s also the last move, Mist Field. Let’s see you use it.”

“Qingqing.”

Qingqing Ni sighed.

She couldn’t use this move either because she didn’t have enough energy in her body.

Qiao Sang comforted her:

“It’s okay. Just use it when you have enough energy later.”

Although Favorable Wind, Fairy Wind, and Mist Field were all high-level skills, the energy required for high-level skills was not always the same.

It was normal for Qingqing Ni, who was only at the Beginner mid-stage, not to be able to use Fairy Wind and Mist Field.

To have trained Favorable Wind to the mastery level at this stage, and to control it to such an extent, was probably due to this species being born a darling of the wind.

“Qingqing.”

Qingqing Ni nodded.

She thought so too.

“Qingqing?”

Immediately, Qingqing Ni turned to Xiao Xunbao and sweetly called out, asking if they could train now.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao looked at the ants he had just taken out, then at his future little brother.

“Qingqing…”

Qingqing Ni noticed Xiao Xunbao’s hesitation and showed a disappointed expression.

No…?

“Xun!”

Seeing this, Xiao Xunbao immediately patted his chest and called out, indicating that they could practice now.

He had to build a good relationship with his future little brother!

That way, it would be smoother to take her as a little brother in the future!

“Qingqing~”

Qingqing Ni smiled sweetly.

Xiao Xunbao took off the ring and prepared to put the ants back into it, ready to start training.

At this moment, Qiao Sang spoke:

“Actually, you can use Substitute to train Decline Luck Curse, and your main body can accompany Qingbao in practice. If your main body is affected by Charm but your Substitute isn’t, it means the training was successful.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Training with the main body was still training, and training with both Substitute and a clone was also training. Xiao Xunbao had no objection and nodded.

After arranging the training matters for Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao, Qiao Sang simply washed up, sat down at the desk, opened her computer, sent a message to Teacher Mi Jiala that she had left the Secret Realm, then searched the 16th Secret Realm forum, logged in, and started posting:

ChapterMy Days in the 16th Secret Realm# Chapter

[I was fortunate enough to obtain the key to the 16th Secret Realm and entered it. I went through the territory of the Gu Yi Bird and also the territory of the Ice Snow Bird, and even saw a Gu Yi Bird with my own eyes…]

This was also a way to make money.

Instead of letting others post and earn money, she might as well earn some herself.

Qiao Sang typed out a lot of text with a clatter and set it to paid reading.

……

The next day.

Nine in the morning.

Qiao Sang bought a new phone at a nearby mobile phone store, went to the business hall to replace her phone card, inserted it, turned it on, and dialed Teacher Mi Jiala’s phone number.

The phone kept “beeping.”

Finally, a voice prompt came: “Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later…”

Qiao Sang was helpless and had to return to the third floor of the Yu Beast Center to submit her mission first.

“Why did you come out of the 16th Secret Realm so quickly?” At the assessment office, the pot-bellied middle-aged Judge looked at the young girl in front of him with surprise.

He saw many people every day, but the person in front of him left too deep an impression, so he recognized at a glance that she was the girl who came to take the assessment mission back then.

“It’s been more than twenty days, that’s not fast, is it?” Qiao Sang said, placing a bottle containing Armor Piercing tears on the Judge’s desk. “There are 500 grams of Armor Piercing tears in here. Please take a look.”

“Please wait.” The middle-aged Judge, seeing this, had to suppress the urge to continue questioning. He picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number.

“This is the assessment office. Please come over now.”

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

The Yu Beast Center had specialized appraisers who could verify the authenticity and grade of the items and materials required for missions.

“Please have a seat. The person will be here soon,” the middle-aged Judge said.

“Okay.” Qiao Sang sat on a nearby sofa.

“The Secret Realm seems to close in three or four days. Why didn’t you stay a few more days?” The middle-aged Judge finally voiced the doubt in his heart.

Secret Realms were different from each other.

Some Secret Realms were regarded as a purgatory of no return, while others were seen as a paradise for getting rich.

The 16th Secret Realm was the latter.

Although it was equally dangerous, the benefits it could bring were completely worth the risk, so most people who entered usually stayed for the full duration.

“My mission is complete, and I have nothing else to do in there.” Qiao Sang explained without changing her expression, “Most importantly, I have other missions to do. There are only about four months left until the Regional Competition, and including this mission, I’ve only completed five.”

The middle-aged Judge immediately understood why the other party came out so early.

To reach this level of strength at this age, putting aside the talent issue, her family background must be solid, and resources certainly wouldn’t be lacking.

Compared to resources, obtaining the official qualification for the Regional Competition was clearly more important to her.

The conversation topics were exhausted, and the appraiser hadn’t arrived yet.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

If it were someone else, the middle-aged Judge would definitely go about his business, but the other party’s information prevented him from simply leaving the young girl there.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly felt a comfortable breeze blowing around him. He made small talk:

“The weather seems quite cool today.”

“It is,” Qiao Sang said, glancing out the window, agreeing.

The middle-aged Judge followed her gaze and saw the tightly closed window. He was startled, then looked at the main door.

He saw that the door was also tightly closed, and was startled again, his mind unable to process it for a moment.

Both the door and window were closed, so where was the wind coming from?

“Knock, knock!”

As thoughts flickered, a knock on the door sounded.

“Come in,” the middle-aged Judge said, collecting his thoughts.

The door opened, and an old man who looked sixty or seventy years old walked in: “I’m here to appraise.”

The appraisal process was not complicated.

After about three minutes, the old man put down the test tube in his hand and said, “This is real.”

He said this while packing his things: “The appraisal is done. I’ll be leaving now.”

After speaking, he picked up the items he had brought with him and left the room.

The middle-aged Judge sat in front of the computer, opened the relevant data, and clicked ‘pass’.

He looked up and said, “The mission has been approved. I hope to see you at this year’s Regional Competition.”

“You will,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

She had completed five missions in less than two months. Now that her brain domain had reached 50% and she had contracted Qingqing Ni, she believed that the upcoming missions should be even smoother.

……

Yu Beast Center.

Ground floor lobby.

Window 26.

Qiao Sang handed over her pet tamer badge and ID card: “I’d like to register some information. I just contracted a new Pet.”

“Summon your Pet,” the Staff said, taking the pet tamer badge and ID card and casually scanning them.

“Qingbao,” Qiao Sang called out.

“Qingqing~”

Qingqing Ni sweetly called out, then appeared.

The Staff looked up, and after a glance, froze on the spot.

“This, this…” She subconsciously stood up, but stumbled over her words, unable to form a complete sentence.

Qingqing Ni, seeing the human in front of her like this, thought something was wrong with herself. She couldn’t help but smooth her white clouds, straighten her posture, and then smiled sweetly.

“Qingqing~”

The Staff’s expression instantly became dazed, her mind blank.

It seemed she recognized Qingbao. After all, Qingqing Ni was a legendary Pet in the Central Hollow region… Qiao Sang was about to speak when a mechanical voice suddenly came from beside her:

[Qingqing Ni, a legendary Fairy-type Beginner Pet, a darling of the wind, but easily influenced by surrounding wind conditions. A breeze makes it peaceful, while a Typhoon makes it irritable. In short, the stronger the wind, the more irritable it becomes. It likes to float around on the wind, and can pass through any tiny gap like the wind.]

The entire Yu Beast Center instantly fell silent.

The previous second there had been talking, but this second it was terrifyingly quiet.

Is it talking about me? Qingqing Ni smiled sweetly at the human who was aiming a Pet Identifier at her.

“Qingqing~”

Excited emotions exploded. The man holding the Pet Identifier screamed uncontrollably: “Ah! Qingqing Ni! It’s Qingqing Ni! It’s the real Qingqing Ni!”

A cacophony of sounds immediately erupted, and more screams echoed through the Yu Beast lobby.

“Where is Qingqing Ni! Where is Qingqing Ni!”

“Ah! Really! Has Qingqing Ni really appeared!”

“Where? Tell me where!”

“Move aside! Don’t push!”

“Where’s Qingqing Ni! Where’s Qingqing Ni!”

“Ah ah ah! Mom! I saw Qingqing Ni!”

Everyone’s eyes were filled with excitement, eagerness, and madness, as they swarmed towards Qingqing Ni’s direction.

Some people took out their phones to take photos and videos, but their phones were knocked to the ground by people pushing from behind.

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

“Qingqing…”

Qingqing Ni, seeing a group of humans who looked like they wanted to pounce on her, was startled at first. Then, an inexplicable impulse surged in her heart, her eyes lit up, and she showed an eager expression.

At the same time, a gust of wind blew around her.

Holy cow, are the people in the Central Hollow region so crazy about Qingqing Ni… Even after witnessing the Ancient Mist region’s attitude towards Lu Bao, Qiao Sang was still a bit startled by the scene in front of her.

Qingbao must be scared too…

She raised her hand, just about to put Qingbao back into the yu beast codex.

Suddenly, a powerful pressure, like a tidal wave, descended overwhelmingly.

Immediately after, a slightly aged voice, as if through a loudspeaker, echoed:

“This is the Yu Beast Center. Everyone, please be quiet and remember the order.”

The powerful pressure had an effect.

Everyone gradually calmed down, but their gazes remained intensely focused here.

Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.

At this moment, an old man with graying hair walked from the direction of the office area, showing a kind smile to Qingqing Ni. Then he scrutinized Qiao Sang and slowly said,

“You are Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster?”

Qiao Sang said “Mm.”

Instantly, she felt that all the gazes that had been focused on Qingbao were now directed at her.

The old man introduced himself: “I am the inspector of the Jiantian Yu Beast Center. There are too many people here, let’s go inside to talk.”

Inspector? Qiao Sang was startled: “Talk about what? I just came to register Pet information.”

The old man looked at her: “But you’re here to register Qingqing Ni. Qingqing Ni is very important to our Central Hollow region. I hope you can cooperate. We’ll just ask you a few questions.”

They wouldn’t force her to break the contract with Qingqing Ni, would they? But the Beast Tamer Alliance and Dragon Country had strict laws against using any illegal means to forcibly break the contract between a Yu Beast Master and a Pet. This was Dragon Country and the Yu Beast Center, so it shouldn’t go that far… Qiao Sang felt a bit carried away by the previous madness of everyone towards Qingbao, but she quickly steadied herself and nodded:

“Okay.”

Yu Beast society had zero tolerance for illegal termination of Yu Beast Master and Pet contracts. Otherwise, back in the Ancient Mist region, she probably would have been targeted by everyone in the entire region.

Though thinking this, Qiao Sang still walked and took out her phone to dial Teacher Mi Jiala’s number again.

This time, after two “beeps,” the call connected.

“Hello, have you come out of the Secret Realm?” Teacher Mi Jiala’s voice sounded.

You finally answered the phone… Qiao Sang looked at the old man leading the way, who was also on the phone and occasionally turned back to smile at Qingbao. She resisted asking Teacher Mi Jiala where she had been. She said “Mm” and went straight to the point:

“I came out last night. I’m at the Yu Beast Center registering Pet information now. The person in charge here asked me to talk in his office. Teacher, please come find…”

“Wait,” Mi Jiala interrupted. “What Pet information are you registering?”

She slowly exhaled, trying to ask in a calm tone:

“Did one of your Pets evolve again?”

“Of course not,” Qiao Sang chuckled. “Yabao and the others basically just evolved. How could it be so fast?”

That’s true… Mi Jiala breathed a sigh of relief.

“I contracted a new Pet,” Qiao Sang continued.

“What?!” Mi Jiala’s composure broke, and her voice suddenly rose: “Didn’t I tell you that every Pet you contract from now on is crucial?! How could you just casually contract a fifth Pet?!”

She didn’t understand. To participate in the Interstellar Cup, every Pet was key. She had clearly said so before, so how could Qiao Sang still casually contract a fifth Pet!

She had just come out of the Secret Realm, so it was clear the contracted Pet was from the Secret Realm.

Could it be that there were purebred Pets with high talent and species limits in this Secret Realm?

Her student had always been smart, so how could she be so confused about this matter!

Qiao Sang moved her phone slightly away from her ear, then put it back: “Teacher, please don’t get agitated. This Pet I contracted…”

“We’ve arrived,” the old man said, having apparently hung up his own call at some point.

Qiao Sang glanced at the office in front of them and said into the phone:

“Teacher, please come find me at the Yu Beast Inspector’s office on the seventh floor of the Yu Beast Center now.” (End of this chapter)
