Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1168

1168. Chapter 1163 Qing Bao Calls Boss? (Two in One)

What’s going on… Qiao Sang was stunned.

Could it be that the electric monster wasn’t happy being here?

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao called out from the side, asking if the quest had been posted.

“Yes.” Qiao Sang handed over the phone and instructed, “If anyone calls to accept the quest, answer it directly for me and have them come today.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao nodded and called out, his claws eager to grab the phone.

“Also,” Qiao Sang raised the phone high and added, “You’re only allowed to check for half an hour. After lunch, don’t forget to go out and fight.”

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao wilted, but still nodded and took the phone.

Qiao Sang looked up at Tingbao and Qingbao flying around above the living room and smiled with satisfaction.

Her original plan—first, to evolve Qingbao, second, to reach 60% of her brain area and contract the little Thunder Dragon—had now been completed, even earlier than she’d imagined. Thunderbao had even evolved to the intermediate level. Everything was heading in the right direction.

As this thought flashed through her mind, the Dragon King, watching TV nearby, changed the channel.

It was a news channel.

The anchor announced,

“Next, recently, high-level ghost-type pets have been impersonating low-level pets and arranging fights on the streets. This has deceived many beastmasters and pets, causing varying degrees of loss.”

“Next is an interview with the victim…”

The screen switched to an interview scene. A roughly three-meter-tall, brown, monkey-like pet indignantly accuses the camera:

“Bad, bad!”

“Bad, bad!”

“Bad, bad, bad!”

Qiao Sang was drawn to the shouting on the TV.

The Bad Monkey, a high-level evil-type pet, enjoys doing bad things. Nine out of ten Bad Monkeys have criminal records…

It’s quite amusing, the Bad Monkey actually calling others bad… Qiao Sang’s mind flashed to the profile of the pet being interviewed on the screen, and

she couldn’t help but smile, a smile rising from her lips. But the next moment, her smile faltered.

The interview screen switched to a surveillance camera. In the grainy video, a ghost-type pet, only a few dozen centimeters tall, suddenly appeared behind the Bad Monkey. Raising its paw, it instantly condensed a black shadow ball and flung it at the Bad Monkey’s head.

The Bad Monkey fell to the ground, unconscious.

The ghost-type pet, only a few dozen centimeters tall, pointed at the Bad Monkey and called out to the hot dog vendor nearby.

The vendor nodded and handed over two hot dogs.

The ghost-type pet, only a few dozen centimeters tall, took the hot dogs and passed one to a similarly small pet, whose lower body was the shape of a white cloud.

The two pets ate hot dogs as they left together.

Although the image quality was not particularly clear, Qiao Sang easily recognized the two pets leaving together in the surveillance video as Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao.

Dragon King also clearly recognized the two pets in the video. He looked at Xiao Xunbao, then at Qingbao, and finally at Qiao Sang.

Just as it was about to say something, the surveillance footage on the TV switched to the host’s announcement:

“According to numerous victims, this ghost-type pet was small and didn’t wear a miniaturizing bracelet. It deliberately misled others into thinking it was a low-level pet, thereby luring them into agreeing to a fight.” “

We’ve had pet experts analyze it and confirmed it’s the Night Ring King of Blue Star, a king-level ghost-type pet. Please don’t be fooled by its appearance and rashly agree to a fight, as this could lead to significant losses…” Little Xunbao was already concerned

about size and wouldn’t pretend to be a low-level pet. And yet, this little thing made the news. Who knows if it will affect him inviting others to fight in the future… I hope he’s so engrossed in his phone that he didn’t see the news… Qiao Sang turned to look at the Dragon King, trying to signal him to change the channel with his eyes.

“Plop…”

At that moment, the sound of something falling on the sofa was heard.

Qiao Sang turned to see Little Xunbao, letting his phone drop, staring blankly at the TV, like a clay statue.

She still saw it…

Before she could say anything, little Xunbao turned and looked over, tears welling in his eyes.

Then, as if deeply wronged, tears fell and he cried out,

“Xunxun!”

Wiping away tears, he floated towards the room.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Aren’t you taking your phone?” Qiao Sang asked.

Little Xunbao froze, then silently floated back, picked up his phone, wiped his tears, and sobbed as he floated towards the room.

Qingbao, seeing this, followed suit.

“Tingting?”

Tingbao, watching from above, a puzzled expression on his face, called out, wondering what had happened to the boss.

“Nothing,” Qiao Sang said, rising. “Let’s go to the open-air training grounds and try out all the awakened skills.”

With that, he headed towards the training grounds.

Tingbao instantly forgot about little Xunbao and twisted his body to follow.

“Shh…”

So they were all gone?

The Dragon King looked at the living room, empty of people and pets, feeling a sense of loneliness. He inexplicably thought of his own beastmaster and the younger generations in his territory.

…

in the room.

Little Xunbao sniffed his nose and continued to search for the mysterious fruit on his phone.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao appeared next to him and called out with emotion, saying that he didn’t expect them to be on the news.

“Xunxun.”

Little Xunbao raised his head, showing a dissatisfied expression, and called out, saying that I will never find someone to fight just because you want to eat something in the future.

Finding a bad monkey to fight was purely an accident. When looking for an opponent on the street, Qingbao suddenly said that he was a little hungry, pointing to the hot dog on the stall next to him and said he wanted to eat it, but little Xunbao didn’t bring any money, so he found the bad monkey who was buying a hot dog and fought with the hot dog as a bet.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao called out.

Don’t you want to eat too.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao yelled angrily, saying that he only fought because he saw you wanted to eat, and eating the hot dog himself was just a side job!

After that, he looked at his phone, not going to pay attention to Qingbao anymore.

Qingbao looked at Little Xunbao’s expression and felt inexplicably guilty.

It is undeniable that during this period, Little Xunbao had indeed fought many opponents of low levels because of him.

“Qingqing?”

After hesitating for a moment, Qingbao floated to the side of Little Xunbao, looked at the phone, yelled, and tried to start a conversation.

What are you looking at?

Little Xunbao moved the phone a little, with his butt facing it.

Qingbao: “…”

“Qingqing?”

Qingbao yelled again.

You are not going to pay attention to me?

Little Xunbao continued to turn his butt towards it.

Qingbao pouted.

It had never been ignored like this since it was born.

The unusual wind in the room blew in gusts.

The curtains swayed, and the chandelier shook.

Little Xunbao looked at his phone, not escaping quickly as usual when Qingbao got angry.

The wind stopped.

Could it be truly angry? Had it gone too far? Qingbao recalled how little Xunbao had always seemed impervious to anger, and seeing how he now ignored him, he began to reflect on himself.

Why hasn’t the wind blown? Little Xunbao resisted the urge to look back.

Seconds ticked by.

Just when he thought Qingbao had transformed into the wind and vanished, Qingbao’s voice rang out:

“Qingqing?”

Boss, you’re not really angry, are you?

“Xunxun?!”

Little Xunbao couldn’t contain himself any longer, his eyes widening as he turned his head abruptly.

Qingbao called him, “Boss?! “

…

11:30 PM. At

the dining table.

Youshen Cat brought the prepared dishes one by one.

“I didn’t expect the little Thunder Dragon to evolve into a Thunder Dragon so quickly,” Michaela said, looking at Tingbao from the table.

They said it would take a day or two, but she’d only been gone for a morning and it had already evolved.

“It ate a bunch of Dragon Power Fruit this morning,” Qiao Sang said with a smile. “Teacher Jacqueline checked Qing Bao and Ting Bao as well, and found that its energy has reached the primary level limit.”

“Thunder Dragon’s absorption ability is quite good,” Mikaela praised.

A pet’s daily energy absorption is often limited; it’s not determined by how much it eats. Absorbing more energy daily is also a reflection of its potential.

It’s all thanks to the cheat code… Qiao Sang thought.

“What traits and skills has Thunder Dragon awakened?” Mikaela asked.

“The trait is static electricity, and the skills are Dragon Claw, Electric Grid, and 100,000 Volts,” Qiao Sang replied.

She didn’t mention the lightning-swallowing trait.

It was broad daylight, with no rain or thunder. Normally, a pet’s newly evolved, undiscovered trait wouldn’t be immediately noticeable to a Beastmaster.

She planned to wait for rain, or for an electric-type pet to arrive. If Ting Bao could directly absorb its lightning, she could then pretend she’d just discovered Ting Bao had this trait.

“It actually awakened 100,000 volts.” Mikaela was surprised for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

Qiao Sang’s pet and she herself were both too abnormal. In comparison, the Thunder Dragon awakening a high-level electric skill didn’t seem to be anything to be surprised about.

During the conversation, Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao happily floated over from the room.

The mood recovered so quickly… Qiao Sang glanced in the direction of Xiao Xunbao and found that it was smiling, and its mood seemed even happier than usual.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao floated to the side of its own beastmaster, put its mobile phone on the table, and then came to its energy pill and ate it with a big appetite.

Could it be that the mysterious fruit that can make the body bigger was found? Probably not. If he had found relevant clues, Xiao Xunbao would definitely not eat first, but talk about this matter first… Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts, followed up on what Teacher Mikala said, and joked:

“Maybe it evolved after being struck by 100,000 volts, so it awakened this skill.”

Mikala: “…”

“Tingting…”

Is that so… Tingbao took the energy pill with a thoughtful expression.

If it evolves after being attacked by other skills in the future, will it also awaken skills to attack it?

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and said:

“Are we going to stay here from now on? Do you want to change places?”

“Why, do you have somewhere you want to go?” Mikala looked over.

“No,” Qiao Sang said. “I just thought that Qingbao and Tingbao have already evolved, and they have nothing to do here except training all day. And there’s been no news about the Sun Crystal. If we go out and ask around, maybe we can find out something.”

The news has also reported on Xiao Xunbao’s incident. It might be difficult for Xiao Xunbao to find opponents in future battles. A change of location wouldn’t be such a problem.

Qiao Sang didn’t elaborate on the second half of the reason.

Mikaela looked thoughtful, as if pondering.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang continued,

“The main thing is Xia Lala.”

“Xia Xia?”

Xia Lala, who was eating an energy meal, looked up with a confused expression.

Qiao Sang continued,

“The Tenth Master asked me to take Xia Lala around. If I keep her here all the time, I’m sure she’ll get bored. After all, she originally asked the Tenth Master to go out and play.”

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Lala’s face was touched at this.

“Steel Chief,” Gang Bao’s inner voice echoed.

What a good excuse.

Qiao Sang remained expressionless, pretending she hadn’t heard.

Mikaela glanced at Xia Lala, then, without further ado, said, “Let’s change the location. Have you decided where to go?”

“Menzhou,” Qiao Sang said, naming the place she had already chosen.

She’d checked online and found that Menzhou was the earliest place to experience a fireball, so there might even be residual solar crystals.

“Then let’s go to Menzhou,” Mikaela said without a second thought.

Sure enough, as long as something involved Xia Lala, Teacher Mikaela wouldn’t overthink it… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

Mikaela then said,

“Get ready. We’ll leave tomorrow.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

Qiao Sang was stunned. “That’s too fast.”

For the nth time, she was shocked by Teacher Mikaela’s quick thinking.

“Didn’t you say you were going?” Michaela asked, “Why, do you have something else to stay for?”

“Yes,” Qiao Sang said, “I just issued a task, waiting for an electric pet to come and fight Tingbao.”

Michaela said thoughtfully, “Do you think the Thunder Dragon may have awakened other characteristics?”

The Thunder Dragon is a dragon and a pet with dual attributes of electricity. The awakened characteristics are undoubtedly these two. The characteristics of electric pets are basically related to electricity. If you want to know if there are corresponding characteristics, you need to find an electric pet to experiment.

Qiao Sang immediately offered his flattery: “Teacher, you’re smart.”

Mikaela’s lips curled slightly, then he restrained himself and asked, “Hasn’t any electric-type pet accepted this quest yet?”

“No,” Qiao Sang shook his head.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao, who was busy eating, looked up and called out, indicating that the quest had been accepted. It had already called the other party and asked them to come over immediately.

Already accepted? Qiao Sang was stunned.

“Ding Dong~”

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Youshen Cat went to open the door.

Soon, an electric monster with a black tie around its neck and a black gentleman’s hat on its head walked in.

“Dian Dian.”

The electric monster took off its hat, bowed slightly, and called out in a gentlemanly way.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, hesitantly said: “Electrocute you to death?”

“Dian Dian?”

The electric monster put on its hat and showed a puzzled expression.
