Chapter 98: Count me in

Training days were monotonous, but that was only for Fire Fang Dog.

Under a tree shade by Liu Gan Stream, Qiao Sang and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost were leisurely eating popsicles.

“You’re still young, you should eat less cold things,” Qiao Sang said, taking a bite of her popsicle.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost readily agreed with a sound, then put the entire popsicle into its mouth. Its body shivered, and its eyes curved into crescent moons.

Qiao Sang sighed inwardly at the sight; Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was getting naughtier and naughtier.

Ever since the incident with pretending to sleep, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s true nature had become more and more uninhibited.

In the past, if she told it to eat less cold things, it would definitely put down the popsicle immediately.

Unlike now, where it agreed verbally but its body was so honest.

Meanwhile, Fire Fang Dog sensed the energy within its body and opened its mouth.

The next second, an Energy Ball the size of a baby’s fist appeared before it.

Fire Fang Dog kept its mouth open, maintaining the operation of the Energy Ball, trying to make it condense more solidly.

“Yabao, you can do it!”

“Xun! Xun!”

Qiao Sang and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost cheered from the side, like two cheerleaders.

Fire Fang Dog’s attention was focused on the Energy Ball. When it felt the internal structure was stable enough, it tilted its head back, and the Energy Ball shot towards the sky.

Qiao Sang looked up, constantly monitoring the Energy Ball’s movement.

As expected, after rising to a height of about 4 meters, the Energy Ball rapidly descended, falling towards the Liu Gan Stream.

“Bang!”

With a loud sound, water splashed everywhere.

Then, a fish floated to the surface, its body flipped sideways.

“Little Treasure Hunting Ghost,” Qiao Sang called out.

“Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost bit its popsicle and mumbled a sound.

It extended two short toes, a blue light emanated from its body, and the Gathering Beads on its neck also glowed faintly in response.

The fish in the water was controlled and floated over.

Qiao Sang placed the fish into a plastic bag that had been prepared earlier.

This was already the seventh fish to suffer since Fire Fang Dog began training with the Energy Ball.

Fortunately, the fish in Liu Gan Stream were all wild, otherwise, the training ground would have to be changed again.

“Ya.”

Fire Fang Dog was already accustomed to failure. It didn’t get discouraged and continued to sense the energy within its body.

Ten days had passed since it started practicing the Energy Ball. Fire Fang Dog had progressed from an Energy Ball the size of a fingernail to one the size of a baby’s fist.

For a Beginner Pet, the speed of its progress was undeniably fast.

However, the internal structure of the Energy Ball was not solid enough. Each time, it would fall uncontrollably after rising only a short distance, and sometimes it would even explode on its own in the air.

Qiao Sang checked the time.

5:01 PM.

With the addition of f grade energy recovery liquid, Fire Fang Dog trained every day until it was time to eat before returning.

Qiao Sang considered herself a relatively motivated person, but without pressure, she felt she couldn’t be as diligent as Fire Fang Dog.

Having such a worry-free Pet was truly… amazing!

The new Yu Beast Masters who graduated from junior high with her were still exploring how to get along with their Pets.

Let alone training new skills, sometimes they even had to coax and trick their Pets just to get them to master the skills they already possessed.

The five types of Pet personalities recommended for new Yu Beast Masters were good.

But sometimes, a good personality doesn’t equate to diligence.

Fang Sisi had messaged her two days ago, troubled that her Cotton Section Worm was unwilling to spin silk.

Qiao Sang suggested she look it up online or find a Trainer to take a look.

A day later, Fang Sisi sent her the Trainer’s diagnosis results.

Although the diagnosis report contained a lot of information, it summarized into one word: lazy.

Qiao Sang looked at Fire Fang Dog, which was condensing an Energy Ball once again, with relief, and leisurely ate the rest of her popsicle.

…

5:56 PM.

At the dining table.

Third Aunt took a bite of braised fish and exclaimed, “The fish Qiao Sang brings every time is so delicious.”

Qiao Sang shoveled a mouthful of rice and said, “It’s because Third Aunt cooks it well.”

“You child,” Third Aunt said with a smile. “Oh, by the way, Ranran, how did your blind date go today?”

During the more than ten days Qiao Sang stayed at Qiao Sang’s Old Home, Ye Ranran had already been on three blind dates.

Regarding this, Qiao Sang expressed that it was none of her business, but gossip was on!

Qiao Sang lowered her head to eat, but her ears were perked up, listening.

Ye Ranran looked around the dining table, then her gaze stopped on Qiao Sang and she said, “How come I feel like you’ve gotten darker?”

Qiao Sang: “!”

Getting darker and gaining weight are things girls care about more, and Qiao Sang was no exception.

She had been outside every day during this period. Although she hid in the shade, the sun was bright outside, and she hadn’t applied any sunscreen, so the possibility of getting darker was simply too high.

“I just bought some Ming Shuang Coral powder. You can soak it and drink it then,” Ye Ranran said.

Ming Shuang Coral powder can significantly improve skin tone. It has an immediate effect after drinking and has always been highly praised in the current beauty market.

Qiao Sang nodded repeatedly and said, “Okay, so how did you feel after your blind date today?”

Ye Ranran: “…”

“No way, that person actually supported Klicker during the Interstellar Cup,” Ye Ranran said helplessly.

The Interstellar Cup had ended two days ago, but many people were still immersed in it and hadn’t recovered.

Klicker was the one who defeated Lin Ya back then.

His strength was clearly superior to Lin Ya’s. He won all the way and ultimately stopped at the top three.

Although Klicker was powerful, almost everyone in Dragon Country still supported Lin Ya.

Even if they weren’t Yu Beast Masters, it was impossible for them not to know what Lin Ya represented in Dragon Country.

Supporting different Yu Beast Masters during the Interstellar Cup could easily lead to emotional division.

According to statistics, during each Interstellar Cup, the divorce rate among couples increased by 9%, and arguments and breakups among couples due to the Interstellar Cup were everywhere.

“That’s certainly not good. What kind of people are they introducing?” Third Aunt said, displeased.

Apparently, Third Aunt also supported Lin Ya.

When the meal was almost finished, Third Uncle, who had been silent, spoke up, “A Sang, I’m still short a person for something.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a long time before she remembered the marathon relay race Third Uncle had mentioned some time ago.

Third Uncle had always lived in the town; could it be that he couldn’t even gather a three-person team for a marathon?

Could it be that Third Uncle’s popularity was poor, or was he being ostracized by the Yu Beast Masters in town?

For a moment, Qiao Sang imagined many scenarios.

“But Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was only born recently. I’m afraid it will hold us back,” Qiao Sang said, worried.

Since Third Uncle wanted to participate, he definitely wanted to win a prize.

The marathon was a very arduous competition. Most of the participating Pets had undergone systematic training and possessed a certain level of speed and endurance.

They were excellent in both physical and mental aspects.

If it was just a three-person team each sending out one Pet, it would be fine, but if two Pets had to be sent out, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was clearly not suitable for this event.

“It’s okay, we’re just short a person. You can just consider yourself making up the numbers. Besides the overall team ranking, this competition also calculates each Pet’s ranking based on the results of each relay segment. I mainly want to win the individual ranking,” Third Uncle explained.

Qiao Sang was immediately relieved.

If it wasn’t about winning the team ranking, it wouldn’t matter if Little Treasure Hunting Ghost only ran 100 meters before collapsing.

“Okay, count me in. Who’s the other person?” Qiao Sang asked.

Ye Ranran put down her chopsticks and said, “It’s me.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

It’s me.
