Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1248

1248. Chapter 1243 Pre-match Communication (Two-in-One)

Qiao Sang glanced at the dialog box:

[Yan Tian Zhi Guang: What’s wrong with you? You didn’t broadcast live today?]

[Xiao Xun Bao: I’m on my way

.] [Yan Tian Zhi Guang: Where are you going?]

[Xiao Xun Bao: Yan Tian University.]

[Yan Tian Zhi Guang: Really? I’m right here! Come and play with me!]

[Xiao Xun Bao: Really? Are you a student there?]

[Yan Tian Zhi Guang: Yes, yes.]

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment when he saw this. He took the phone and swiped down:

[Xiao Xun Bao: Does your school have items that increase energy?]

[Yan Tian Zhi Guang: Yes, yes, there are a lot.]

[Xiao Xun Bao: Do you have potions and items that increase the King level?]

[Yan Tian Zhi Guang: Yes, yes, there are potions that can directly increase the level by a small level. Do you want them?]

[Xiao Xun Bao: (Nods) (Nods)]

[Yan Tian Zhi Guang: But it requires a lot of points. I can’t give them to you for free.]

[Xiao Xun Bao: What! You wanted to give them to me for free! 】

【Flame Sky Light: Yes, who told me to like you? But this potion really requires too many points, I’m a little reluctant to give it away】

【Little Xunbao: You like me (shy)】

【Flame Sky Light: Yes, yes, I’m your fan】

Qiao Sang ignored the meaningless part of the conversation and quickly scanned the bottom few lines.

【Flame Sky Light: You can come find me when you come to Yantian University. If you have any potions or items that I like, I’ll exchange them for the potions you want for you】

【Little Xunbao: Okay, I’ll go discuss it with my beastmaster】

The chat ended here.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao shouted proudly.

What do you think? I didn’t lie to you, did I? I even have fans at Yantian University.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then said earnestly, “There are a lot of scammers on the Internet. Don’t believe everything others tell you.”

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then shouted in disbelief.

Is Flame Sky Light a scammer?

“I’m not completely sure,” Qiao Sang said, “but the possibility of a scam is definitely high.”

She had watched Xiao Xunbao’s live streams and knew that he sometimes removed his ring and took things out of it in front of the camera, which could indeed attract attention.

However, the meeting place was Yantian University.

It would be difficult for ordinary scammers to commit fraud there.

After all, Yantian University is the top-ranked university in the galaxy. Anyone caught committing fraud on campus while posing as a Yantian University student could easily be a powerful beastmaster.

So, she was a little unsure.

Honestly, it would be a lie to say she wasn’t tempted.

King-level pets require a tremendous amount of energy to accumulate. By normal means, without the help of a cheat code, even a small amount of energy accumulation would take years, and that’s even if one had the resources to provide the pet.

If she truly obtained this potion, even just one bottle, it would save her several years of energy accumulation.

While the possibility of the other party being a scammer was high, there was also the possibility that they weren’t… Thinking of this, Qiao Sang continued,

“I remember that some buildings at Yantian University are only accessible to faculty and students. You can invite Yantian Zhiguang to one of these buildings. If he can get in…”

“Xunxun!”

Before he could finish his words, little Xunbao’s eyes suddenly lit up, a look of “I’ve got a solution” on his face, and he called out.

“What solution?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao grinned.

She’d tell Guilunsaier to check the internet and see.

“That’s not good…” Despite saying so, Qiao Sang honestly handed the phone back, uncertainly asking, “Will Guilunsaier help with such a small matter?”

She knew that little Xunbao had added Guilunsaier’s contact information yesterday in the presidential suite.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao also grew uncertain. He took the phone and called out, indicating that he would ask first.

As he spoke, he typed a line of text on his phone and hit send.

Guilunsaier didn’t reply.

After waiting for a full half minute, Qiao Sang sighed, “It looks like Guilunsaier won’t help.”

Guilunsaier is a mechanical-type, emperor-level pet, specialized in information.

Its brain can process a vast amount of information at high speed. Xiao Xunbao contacted it through its contact information. If Guilunsaier was willing to help, even if it was currently occupied, it would have responded immediately. The lack of a message after so long probably meant Guilunsaier didn’t want to bother.

“Xunxun…”

Xiao Xunbao cried out in disappointment.

If only Guilunsaier could eat, he could offer it sunflower seeds and milk to cultivate a good relationship. But it only needed electricity, and he couldn’t ask Lao Liu to shock it.

“Tingting?”

Tingbao, who was lying next to Lubao, keenly heard the word “Lao Liu” and looked up.

Seeing that his beastmaster and the boss weren’t looking at him, he lowered his head back down.

It seems that she can only use the method she thought of before, to invite Yantian Zhiguang to the teaching building where only teachers and students of Yantian University are allowed to enter… Qiao Sang was about to speak, but suddenly, she sensed something and looked down.

The computer screen was now rippling in circles.

This is… Qiao Sang’s heart moved, and she moved the laptop from the sofa and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.

Not long after, a mechanical claw with a black iron color stretched out from the screen.

Then, a black spherical mechanical head appeared.

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao was stunned when he saw Guilun Saier coming out of the screen, and then he shouted excitedly.

“Guigui.”

“Guigui.”

Guilun Saier shouted twice.

At the same time, two lines of virtual subtitles appeared in front of it:

“I’ve already verified the fan information you requested.”

“The other party is a student at Yantian University. Sending detailed information directly from a computer might be detected by Yantian University, so I can only deliver it in person.”

Damn, it turns out Guilun Sai’er wasn’t unwilling to help, but the information had already been verified and returned… Qiao Sang stared blankly at the two lines of text before him, inwardly marveling at the efficiency of the Emperor-level Mechanical Beast.

Just as he was thinking, a piece of information, represented by virtual subtitles, appeared before him:

“Pure Evil Clown, Yantian Star King-level Ghost-type Pet, named Chunshan, Pet Interstellar Research Level 6, no disciplinary record, good reputation, according to data analysis: credible.”

As the premier institution on Yantian Star, Yantian University also accepts pets as students, though not in the same numbers as humans.

Qiao Sang glanced at the information before her, and the first thing that came to mind was information about the Pure Evil Clown:

a king-level ghost-type pet with a purely evil personality and the ability to control the minds of others. It’s said that spending extended time near one will be affected by its aura, making it difficult to control and triggering one’s inner evil side.

Then a second thought occurred to her:

Isn’t the Pure Evil Clown purely evil? Can a pet with such a personality be trusted?

“Xunxun~”

As the thought flashed through her mind, little Xunbao let out a delighted cry. “

It’s not a liar. It didn’t lie to me. “

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, happy for little Xunbao. Then, a thought struck her, and she thanked Guilunsaier, “Thank you. That really helped us a lot.” “

Guigui,”

Guilunsaier called out.

At the same time, virtual subtitles appeared before it:

[You are a student of the Imperial Class, and Little Xunbao is your pet. It’s my duty to help you collect information. Furthermore, Imperial Class students also receive bonus points for searching for information. Feel free to come back to me anytime you need to find anything in the future.]

With that, its entire body burrowed back into the screen and vanished.

“Xunxun~”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao continued to float happily.

It was pleased that its fans hadn’t deceived it.

Qiao Sang, realizing something was amiss, pulled out his phone, logged onto the Imperial Beastmaster Academy’s official website, and checked his remaining points.

He saw three points missing, and the points spent record below read:

[At 10:35 PM, I paid 3 points to Guilun Saier for information.]

Qiao Sang: “…” …

The

next morning, Qiao Sang washed up briefly and took Yabao, the others, and Teacher Mikaela to the hotel restaurant for a hearty buffet breakfast.

Looking at Little Xunbao happily munching on an energy meal, she suddenly remembered something. She looked at Teacher Mikaela and asked,

“Can we trust the words of the Purely Evil Clown from Flame Star?”

A Purely Evil Clown? Its fans? Little Xunbao immediately looked over.

Mikaela sipped her milk and smiled, “Are you asking about the Purely Evil Clown from Flame University?”

“Yes,” Qiao Sang said.

She wasn’t surprised that Teacher Mikaela knew this. They lived in the same suite, and even with their doors closed, they could hear each other’s movements.

Mikaela pondered for a moment and said,

“If the Purely Evil Clown was truly evil as described in the profile, then Flame University wouldn’t have admitted it. I think it must have something special to be able to get in.”

The implication was that the Purely Evil Clown from Flame Star couldn’t be trusted, but the Purely Evil Clown from Flame University could be trusted.

Qiao Sang pondered this.

At this moment, Aiden came over with a plate of steak, sat down at the table, and said enthusiastically, “What a coincidence to see you here.”

“Hello, teacher,” Qiao Sang said.

“You’re the most polite among the Imperial Class,” Aiden said with a smile as she cut the steak.

How rude must the Imperial Class students be in the eyes of these teachers? She felt that the senior from Osian she met was quite nice… Qiao Sang muttered to herself.

Mikaela glanced to the side and asked, “Where are your students?”

“They went to Yantian University early this morning,” Aiden said.

“Why aren’t you going?” Mikaela asked.

“They’re just going for a stroll, not competing as students from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy,” Aiden said. “Some of the older guys at Yantian University know me. If I go, it would mean the entire Imperial Beastmaster Academy delegation is going, and I’m afraid it would draw too much attention.”

Mikaela glanced at him and said calmly, “Why don’t you tell me the truth?”

Aiden glanced at Qiao Sang subtly, his face slightly embarrassed as he said,

“They’re going to talk to students from other participating universities. Young people have their own way of communicating, and I can’t be there when they’re talking about certain things.”

During the official competition, teachers from various top universities were present, and there were cameras everywhere. Some provocative remarks could only be made before the competition, when the cameras weren’t on.

He didn’t go with them, simply to allow everyone to have a more enjoyable conversation.

Um, why are you looking at me? Does this have anything to do with me? Although Aiden’s gaze was subtle, Qiao Sang was still perceptive and a flicker of doubt crossed his mind.

…

At the same time.

Yantian University.

A luxurious restaurant.

“Why are you all here? Didn’t you say you couldn’t get used to our Flame Star food?” a black-haired man with a facial scar sneered at the crowd before him.

“Did you see us eating?” the slicked-back man asked angrily.

“I can’t get used to your Flame Star food either, but don’t you have chefs from various star systems?” a brunette woman wearing the Yulianton school badge fanned the flames as she ate her Super Star-style breakfast.

The students from the top universities participating in the Interstellar Prestigious Beast Taming Tournament didn’t wear uniforms, but were distinguished by their school badges.

“We’re all here to compete, so don’t be so angry the moment you meet,” a blonde woman wearing the Yuanzhou University badge on her chest tried to calm the mood.

Yuanzhou University, the fourth-ranked university in the galaxy, is located on Tianyuan Star.

“Yeah, everyone, don’t get so angry,” Aislin said, glancing at the slicked-back man.

The slicked-back man caught her gaze, snorted, and quieted down.

“Why haven’t I seen Franklin from your school?” Aislin said. “I hear he’s a rare beastmaster genius at Yantian University, one he rarely sees in a century. He’ll officially join the Yan class after this competition.”

A thoughtful expression crossed her face as she spoke. “I remember how old he was when he became a Class B beastmaster?”

“Twenty-four,” the black-haired woman wearing the Imperial Beastmaster Academy’s emblem chimed in.

“Yes, twenty-four—really young,” Aislin said with a smile.

Though it was a compliment, her tone was eerie, almost mocking.

“Franklin has his own things to do,” the short-haired woman said calmly. “Aislin, you’re already an A-level Beastmaster. It’s not appropriate to target a B-level Beastmaster.”

“Did I target him?” Aislin replied innocently. “I was just lamenting how young he was when he became a B-level Beastmaster.”

The other students from the top interstellar schools all looked on with anticipation.

Everyone attending the Interstellar Elite Beastmaster Competition naturally knew a bit about the participating students. Franklin had recently been featured in a top magazine, his disparaging remarks about other schools having been recorded, and everyone was quite upset with him.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was becoming increasingly tense.

The dark-haired man with a scar on his face sneered, “Aislin, don’t get too hung up on Franklin. You won’t be rivals in the future.”

His implication was that Franklin would be in the Flame Class, and the two of them would never again compete on the same field.

Aislin understood, but she wasn’t angry. Instead, she waved her hand and smiled, “I just feel bad that our school’s genius became a B-level Beast Tamer at such a young age. Otherwise, he would have joined us in the Interstellar Elite School Beast Tamer Tournament, and then he might have had a good match with Franklin, your school’s once-in-a-century Beast Tamer genius.” (End of this chapter)
