Chapter 9: red glutinous rice fruit

Inherited skills are moves passed down from parents and do not require later learning; Fire Fang is an ultimate skill that most Fire Fang Dogs inherit.

Although inherited skills are innate, don’t expect newly born young Beasts to be able to unleash them immediately; everything has a gradual process.

Humans are born knowing how to eat, but they still have to start from teething and drinking milk.

Skill proficiency starts with Beginner, and the next stage is Mastery.

Beginner-level skills are not very powerful and are considered newly mastered.

Lower-tier skills can generally be unleashed once they reach the Beginner level, but higher-tier skills, even at the Beginner level, may not always be usable every time, which is a matter of insufficient proficiency.

Fire Fang is a mid-tier skill. Logically, a Fire Fang Dog’s Fire Fang, having only reached Beginner (2/100) proficiency, should not be unleashed so easily.

But it did it.

Qiao Sang wondered if it was because as long as the yu beast codex showed the Fire Fang Dog’s skills, it would be able to unleash them.

Of course, all of this was her conjecture, and it would have to be verified later when the Fire Fang Dog learned higher-tier skills.

Qiao Sang withdrew her consciousness. Although she still wanted to research the Point issue further, now was clearly not the time for research.

The naughty child was still sitting on the ground, and the Desert Tail Fox was covered in injuries, with blood still flowing from its neck.

Qiao Sang took out her phone and dialed 661.

“Hello, is this the Yu Beast Emergency Center? This is the Hang Port Beast Center. There’s an injured Desert Tail Fox here. Could you please come as soon as possible?”

“Someone already called? Oh, then never mind.”

Qiao Sang hung up the phone and no longer paid attention to the dazed girl opposite her. She picked up the Fire Fang Dog and prepared to go home. Turning around, she found a group of people standing behind her.

The essence of humanity is to enjoy watching a spectacle. In just the short time it took for the fight, half the people in the arena had gathered, and some were even filming with their phones.

Qiao Sang’s scalp tingled. She picked up the Fire Fang Dog and left, with the Fat Home Dove following closely.

“Little sister, I see you have great potential. Are you interested in becoming a streamer?” a young man with red hair came up to her.

“Thank you, no,” Qiao Sang bypassed him.

“Can I have a Pet battle with you?” a boy wearing a hat chased after her.

“No,” Qiao Sang refused.

“Classmate, which school are you from?” an aunt asked with concern from the side.

Qiao Sang: “…”

…

…

When Qiao Sang returned home, her mother was not there, but a bag of hongfan fruit, which fire-type Pets particularly love, was on the dining table.

These fruits, which can enhance the physique of fire-type extraordinary creatures, cost 700 alliance coins each. Eating them occasionally is fine, but eating them every day would truly be unaffordable.

Qiao Sang stared at the hongfan fruit for a while, lost in thought.

She picked one up and offered it to the Fire Fang Dog’s mouth, smiling, “You eat it.”

The Fire Fang Dog sniffed it with its nose. It had only eaten uniformly distributed compressed blocks at the Pet base and had never eaten this before.

It smelled good and looked similar to the things on the tree next to where it used to live, just a different color. Unfortunately, it hadn’t gotten to eat the things on that tree.

The Fire Fang Dog no longer hesitated and swallowed the hongfan fruit in one Bite.

“Ya!”

The Fire Fang Dog’s eyes widened in surprise.

This food is so delicious!

Seeing it finish eating, Qiao Sang’s consciousness entered the yu beast codex.

[Name: Fire Fang Dog]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Level: Beginner (63/1000) +]

[Skills: Bite (Beginner 73/100) +, Ram (Mastery 135/500) +, Fire Fang (Beginner 2/100) +]

[Point: 50]

Nothing changed.

Qiao Sang frowned. That shouldn’t be right. After today’s battle, the values changed, indicating that everything the Fire Fang Dog experienced led to progress.

A hongfan fruit, which can enhance the physique of fire-type extraordinary creatures, shouldn’t have no effect after being eaten.

Could it be that it needs to be digested first?

“Ya!”

The Fire Fang Dog extended a paw and tugged at Qiao Sang’s hand.

Qiao Sang smiled, took out another hongfan fruit, and fed it to her.

The Fire Fang Dog swallowed it immediately.

After it finished eating, Qiao Sang’s consciousness reconnected to the yu beast codex.

[Name: Fire Fang Dog]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Level: Beginner (64/1000) +]

[Skills: Bite (Beginner 73/100) +, Ram (Mastery 135/500) +, Fire Fang (Beginner 2/100) +]

[Point: 50]

It changed!

The Level column changed from Beginner (63/1000) + to Beginner (64/1000) +!

Although it only increased by one Point, it proved her guess was correct!

However…

Qiao Sang hesitated, looking at the remaining 4 hongfan fruit on the dining table, then picked one up and offered it to the Fire Fang Dog again.

The Fire Fang Dog held the hongfan fruit with its two front paws and began to gnaw on it.

It had eaten two earlier, and the third one could no longer be swallowed in one Bite, so it had to eat it bit by bit.

After finishing, it patted its belly contentedly.

Qiao Sang’s consciousness connected to the yu beast codex, and she fell into deep thought.

The values didn’t change.

Could it be that two hongfan fruit are needed to increase one Point?

Qiao Sang picked up another hongfan fruit and offered it.

“Ya.”

The Fire Fang Dog patted its belly, indicating that it was full.

“Be good, just one more,” Qiao Sang stroked its head.

The Fire Fang Dog looked at Qiao Sang, wagged its red tail, and lowered its head to eat.

In the yu beast codex, Qiao Sang saw that the Fire Fang Dog’s level had changed to Beginner (65/1000) +.

Her guess was correct; it was indeed two hongfan fruit that increased one Point.

Qiao Sang’s gaze moved to the Points at the bottom. With a thought, she added all of them to the end of Beginner (65/1000) +.

[Name: Fire Fang Dog]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Level: Beginner (115/1000) +]

[Skills: Bite (Beginner 73/100) +, Ram (Mastery 135/500) +, Fire Fang (Beginner 2/100) +]

[Point: 0]

The values really can be added…

Qiao Sang’s breathing quickened.

One hongfan fruit is 700 alliance coins, so two hongfan fruit are 1400 alliance coins.

1400 alliance coins only add one Point, and the remaining 885 Points are equivalent to 1770 hongfan fruit.

That would be…

1,239,000 alliance coins…

Oh my goodness! That’s enough to buy a Superpower Pet!

Qiao Sang almost cried out in excitement.

If these Points can directly increase strength, doesn’t that mean she saved so much money! And the Fire Fang Dog can increase corresponding values whether it’s battling or eating things that enhance its strength!

Coupled with the Point bonus, she can completely cultivate the Fire Fang Dog into an Intermediate Pet three or even four times faster than others!

What else could this be if not a Gold Finger!

After a few seconds, Qiao Sang took out her phone and searched for all topics related to the yu beast codex. As expected, none of them showed her situation.

And those who awaken spontaneously only have a 3% to 6% higher brain region development than those who awaken later, allowing them to awaken the yu beast codex a second time more quickly and have more hope of entering a higher realm. There is nothing else special.

Qiao Sang calmed down.

She already had a guess beforehand, and now it was just a confirmation that her idea was correct. Besides, she had already transmigrated, so having a Gold Finger was nothing special.

Right.

Nothing special…

The Fire Fang Dog looked up at Qiao Sang, its eyes full of confusion.

Why was its Yu Beast Master smiling foolishly at the air?
