Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 900: Power of the Mind
It was 8:30 PM.
“Then I’ll be leaving now. I still have a lot of things to do at school. I’ll try to get the Energy Pill done and delivered within a week,” Fulaoda said.
“Okay,” Mi Jiala nodded.
“Goodbye, Teacher,” Qiao Sang said.
“Qingqing.”
Qingqing Ni, who was already awake, waved her paw.
Fulaoda looked at Qiao Sang and Qingqing Ni with a complex expression, then turned and left, closing the door behind him.
“Are you planning to leave tonight or tomorrow morning?” Mi Jiala asked.
“Tonight,” Qiao Sang didn’t want to waste time, saying, “I don’t have much time left to complete the task.”
“Alright, I’ll pack my things and we’ll go,” Mi Jiala said, turning to pack her clothes.
“Oh, Teacher,” Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and asked, “Why can Mischievous Heart allow one to use transformation-type skills one step faster than the opponent?”
Mi Jiala, while packing her clothes, retorted, “What, does Qingqing Ni have the Mischievous Heart characteristic?”
Qiao Sang promptly offered flattery:
“Teacher is smart.”
“Qingqing?”
Qingqing Ni showed a bewildered expression.
Mischievous Heart? It?
Mi Jiala laughed, “Generally, Pet with the Mischievous Heart characteristic are mostly Dark-type and Fairy-type. You suddenly asked about this, so I guessed that Qingqing Ni has this characteristic.”
At this point, she began to answer Qiao Sang’s question:
“Theoretically, Mischievous Heart works by applying Heart Power to the target when both sides simultaneously use transformation-type skills, making them invisibly a step slower. Hence, Mischievous Heart is often called ‘Nauseating Heart.’”
“However, the effect of Mischievous Heart varies with different levels. Don’t assume that simultaneously using transformation-type skills will always make you a step faster.”
“Different levels of Mischievous Heart have different effective ranges. For example, a Mischievous Heart with only an F-level can only affect a range within one meter, which is basically the same as not having this characteristic at all.”
“Furthermore, Pet with high levels or high Heart Power can counter this characteristic.”
Heart Power… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and asked, “If I want to increase the level of Mischievous Heart, do I just need to train Heart Power?”
“Heart Power is innate and generally cannot be trained,” Mi Jiala patiently explained:
“To increase Heart Power, it depends on whether the Pet breaks through the shackles of Heart Power during evolution.”
With that, she picked up the packed suitcase and moved it aside.
Pen Jiami appeared and took it.
Then, it and the suitcase vanished from the spot.
Mi Jiala glanced at Xiao Xunbao and continued:
“Qingqing Ni has a high potential. You don’t need to rush. As it evolves in the future, the Mischievous Heart characteristic will definitely improve.”
Qiao Sang thought to herself that she wasn’t in a hurry, after all, Xiao Xunbao’s Mischievous Heart was already A-level…
“Everything is packed. Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Qiao Sang carried Xiao Xunbao and followed behind Teacher Mi Jiala.
The two walked out of the accommodation area.
On the way, she inexplicably felt that the people passing by were staring at her with uncertain eyes.
Could it be that they recognized me as Qingqing Ni’s Yu Beast Master?
As thoughts flickered, a lady who had just brushed past her suddenly stopped, looked at her, and shrieked loudly:
“Ah! Qingqing Ni’s Yu Beast Master is here!”
Almost in the next second, a group of chaotic footsteps approached them.
At the same time, various voices entered her ears:
“Where is Qingqing Ni’s Yu Beast Master!”
“Really! Where is she?”
“Is Qingqing Ni also next to her!”
“Qingqing Ni! Qingqing Ni!”
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
Holy cow, how terrifying!
It felt like the zombies in those movies that smelled human!
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao appeared, blocking in front of its Yu Beast Master, preparing its eyes to glow blue and escape quickly.
“Penpen.”
However, before it could even circulate its internal energy, Pen Jiami appeared beside it.
The next second, the two people and the Pet vanished from the spot.
…
In the high sky, Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.
“Qingqing…”
Qingqing Ni appeared, showing an apologetic expression.
It also didn’t know it was so popular.
Qiao Sang comforted, “It’s okay. This wave of popularity will pass after a while, and it should be fine.”
In this society, information spreads so quickly, the news of Qingqing Ni being contracted must have already spread…
Judging by how it looked just now, her face was probably also remembered by people…
At this moment, Mi Jiala asked, “Do you have a mask?”
“Yes,” Qiao Sang immediately understood Teacher Mi Jiala’s meaning, looked at Xiao Xunbao, and said, “Take out a mask.”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao took off its ring and pulled out two white masks from inside.
After handing one mask to its Yu Beast Master, it considerately handed the other to Xiao Xunbao.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Wear it, and others won’t recognize you.
Steel Treasure silently turned its head, somewhat unable to bear to watch.
Qiao Sang had already put on the mask at this time.
Xiao Xunbao glanced at its Yu Beast Master wearing the mask, then looked at the mask offered to it, extended its paw, and pushed it forward, indicating a polite refusal.
“Qingqing.”
No need, it can turn into wind and others won’t see it.
“Xiao Xunbao.”
Xiao Xunbao didn’t force it and put the mask back into the ring.
Xiao Xunbao slowly grew larger.
Qiao Sang sat on Xiao Xunbao’s back and opened the navigation.
A mechanical voice sounded:
“Navigation successful. The current distance to the destination is 3.2 kilometers.”
What? Only 3.2 kilometers left? It was clearly 12.8 kilometers from the Yu Beast Center to the Sky Passage. It moved 9.6 kilometers in an instant? After being stunned, Qiao Sang turned to look at the Pet whose eyes had been glowing blue, controlling everyone in the air.
Xiao Xunbao seemed to feel the same way, took out its Pet Identifier, and pointed it at Pen Jiami.
Soon, a mechanical sound in the same tone as Xiao Xunbao’s rang out:
“Let me see~ Pen Jiami, a Tian Yuan Star Imperial-level Superpower System and Flying-type dual-attribute Pet. It can communicate emotions with humans through telepathy and can make itself invisible by enveloping its body with light-emitting refractive feathers.”
“Oh dear, Master, you shouldn’t be so hot-headed as to fight it, I suggest you…”
Before the Pet Identifier could finish speaking, Xiao Xunbao quickly turned it off.
“Penpen.”
Pen Jiami turned and glanced at Xiao Xunbao.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Xiao Xunbao grinned at it.
Pen Jiami kept staring.
Just as Xiao Xunbao felt its scalp tingling from being stared at and thought it was going to do something to it, Pen Jiami yawned.
Xiao Xunbao: “…”
It was actually an Imperial-level Pet from Tian Yuan Star… Qiao Sang recalled Pen Jiami’s skill of directly teleporting from the Yu Beast Center to the Yu Kong Hotel earlier and tentatively asked:
“Teacher, can you…”
“No,” Mi Jiala interrupted.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Mi Jiala calmly said, “I told you, I will not interfere with any difficulties you encounter during your tasks. The reason I let Pen Jiami appear earlier was actually to deter the leaders in the central area and prevent them from being too greedy.”
“If your talent wasn’t so high, do you think you could have left Jian Tian City so smoothly?”
“I know,” Qiao Sang said calmly, “It’s a good thing my talent is that high.”
Mi Jiala: “.”
“Not just the tasks, but anything you encounter on your journey can help you grow, so I won’t interfere, even if it’s just shortening the journey,” Mi Jiala said.
Then Pen Jiami just moved a distance of 9.6 kilometers… Qiao Sang complained internally, while outwardly appearing to listen attentively: “I understand.” (End of this chapter)
