Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1361

Chapter 1361. Research on White Energy (Part Two)

Villa, room.

Qiao Sang turned on her computer, searching for recent activities she could participate in during the Tan Kingdom’s Little Treasure Hunt.

She typed “pet activities” into the search bar.

A whole bunch of information appeared immediately.

Humans and pets coexist on Yan Tian Star, and Tan Kingdom was no exception. There were many activities pets could participate in individually, including fun battles, skill research demonstrations, and master imitations.

Qiao Sang glanced through them and found none of them were what she was looking for.

The energy Little Treasure Hunt needs requires genuine affection from everyone, so it’s best to target groups that already know about it. These events attract too many pets, easily distracting everyone…

Maybe we should just hold a meet-and-greet…

But we’ve only just finished the second round of the competition. A meet-and-greet would definitely attract those who love Little Treasure Hunt, but sometimes the more affection there is, the higher the expectations. If it loses in the next few rounds or performs poorly, it could backfire, and the meet-and-greet could become a point of attack…

Little Treasure Hunt is only at the early Emperor level now, so it definitely needs this white energy long-term. I can’t let my research cause negative fluctuations in everyone’s affection for Little Treasure Hunt…

“Knock knock~” Just

as I was thinking, a knock sounded on the door.

Immediately afterward, Teacher Michaela’s voice rang out: “Is it convenient to come in?”

Teacher Michaela is quite protective of my privacy now. Before, if there was anything, she and Michaela would just appear out of thin air in the room… Josan got up to open the door.

Michaela stood at the door, not coming in.

Before Qiao Sang could even ask, Michaela gave her a complicated look and said directly,

“I just looked into it. Beastmasters with advanced spiritual vision, combined with their connection to their pets, can potentially see certain energies related to their own pets. These energies are invisible to beastmasters with advanced spiritual vision alone. You seem to be in that situation.”

She patted Qiao Sang’s shoulder and said earnestly,

“Perform well. Don’t just find any pet with a good temperament and a potential Venerable level. I believe even those Venerable-level pets that are on the verge of extinction, the Dean will definitely find one for you.”

Huh? Josang paused, thinking, “Weren’t we talking about white energy? How did it suddenly veer into the topic of the pet the dean needs to find?

” “I’ll definitely choose my next pet carefully,” Josang assured him, then returned to the main point: “Teacher, don’t you need to confirm it with your own eyes? Maybe you can see that white energy too.”

“I asked Teacher Margot, who watched the competition with me,” Michaela said. “She also possesses advanced spiritual vision, but she didn’t see any white energy.”

“Is Teacher Margot’s spiritual vision as powerful as yours?” Josang asked.

Michaela felt a strange sense of satisfaction upon hearing this. Josang’s question indicated that subconsciously she felt her spiritual vision was stronger than Margot’s.

She smiled and said,

“I don’t know if it’s as strong as me, but don’t worry, I’ll still confirm it with my own eyes.”

After saying that, Michaela asked, “Have you decided what activities Little Treasure Hunt should participate in?”

“No,” Josang sighed, “I just looked around, and none of them seem particularly suitable for it.”

Michaela asked again, “What kind of activities do you want to find?”

“No need for battles, and the scale shouldn’t be too large…” Josang said, then her eyes lit up as she thought of something, and she said,

“Actually, I think we don’t need to find too many people and pets to verify this white energy. If we just want to accurately analyze what kind of positive energy Little Treasure Hunt needs, we might be able to analyze it by finding a few people and pets.”

Michaela raised an eyebrow: “What do you want to do?”

…

An hour later.

On a bustling street, with pedestrians everywhere, a ghost-type pet about one meter tall and mostly purple floated out of a shop carrying a bag.

It crossed the intersection without waiting for the green light, directly crossing it while the light was red.

Just as it floated into the middle of the road, a bus sped by.

The purple ghost-type pet, quick as a flash, tossed the bag upwards.

The bus passed right through its body and sped away.

The purple ghost-type pet caught the falling bag and drifted away, its accomplishment hidden.

High in the sky, Penjame cast a transparent barrier, concealing everyone’s figures.

Qiao Sang, watching this scene from within, said,

“This Swift Ghost is a fan of Little Treasure Hunter. It’s always very active during Little Treasure Hunter’s live streams. If it sees Little Treasure Hunter and generates white energy, it means that there’s no need for a battle; just showing affection for Little Treasure Hunter is enough to generate white energy.”

“How did you find its location?” Michaela asked.

“I asked Guilunsel.” Speaking of this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but laugh, “After my first round of competition, Guilunsel contacted me, saying that if I needed it in the future, I could just contact it, and it would all be free.”

Michaela fell silent instantly.

Even if she contacted Guilunsel, it would only get a bigger discount, not free service.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao looked intently at the swaying ghost below and called out, indicating that it was going to find it right now.

Then, it prepared to float down.

Qiao Sang grabbed it back, saying,

“Don’t go now. There are too many people and pets. Wait until we’re in a less crowded area. Have you forgotten how you almost caused a traffic jam last time?”

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao waved its paws, showing a helpless yet somewhat proud expression, and called out, indicating that fame was truly a headache.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Headache? I see you’re quite happy…

The group of figures followed high in the sky. When the swaying ghost turned into an empty alley, Little Xunbao teleported to the dim alley below.

It initially had its back to the swaying ghost, but as the ghost was about to pass, it crossed its paws in front of its chest and slowly turned around.

However, the swaying ghost didn’t show the expected surprise or hesitation; instead, it simply carried its bag and brushed past Little Xunbao.

Little Treasure Hunter: “???”

“Did you find the wrong pet?” Michaela asked high in the sky.

“No way, it was Guilunsel who sent me the location…” Jossan hesitated.

“Xunxun!”

During the conversation, Little Xunbao couldn’t help but turn around and call out.

Hearing the sound, Sasa Ghost turned around. It first looked at the crown condensed from purple ghost-type energy, then, as if remembering something, its eyes widened, its body trembled, and it floated forward to carefully examine Little Xunbao.

“Sasa!”

A moment later, with a “bang,” the bag fell to the ground.

“Sasa?!”

Sasa Ghost showed an expression of disbelief and surprise, calling out, “

Little Xunbao?!”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao smiled and nodded.

“Sasa!”

Sasa Ghost immediately covered its mouth excitedly, exclaiming, “It really is you! You’re so dark, I didn’t even see you!”

Little Xunbao: “…”

“Sasa!”

“Sasa!”

“Sasa!”

Sasa Ghost excitedly recounted its journey to becoming a fan.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao initially crossed its paws, quite concerned about its image, but the more it listened, the more moved it became. It even took off its ring, pulled out paper and pen, and offered to sign it.

The ethereal beauty was so moved that tears streamed down her face.

At the same time, high in the sky, Qiao Sang clearly saw specks of white light drifting from the ethereal beauty’s body into Little Treasure Hunter’s body.

Indeed, as long as there’s genuine affection, it doesn’t need to be on a competition field…

“Teacher, did you see it?” Josang asked.

“Yes, I saw it. This wisp of a ghost seems to be a fan of Little Treasure Hunter. It probably didn’t recognize it just now,” Michaela said, looking down.

No, it’s because Little Treasure Hunter is too dark… Josang understood what the wisp of a ghost had said earlier and couldn’t help but mutter to herself,

“I asked about white energy.”

Michaela narrowed her eyes, looked carefully, and asked, “Has it been generated?”

Josang hummed in agreement: “Just now.”

“I didn’t see it.” Michaela smiled: “It seems to be the same as the previous analysis.”

After a pause, she asked, “What kind of subject are you looking for for your research?”

Josang said, “Someone who doesn’t know Little Treasure Hunter.”

…

Half an hour later, in a remote suburb.

A ten-year-old boy was walking home with a schoolbag on his back and a rodent pet perched on his head.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew up.

“Whoosh!” The rodent pet was blown directly into the air.

“Whoosh!” The boy reached out to grab the rodent pet.

But he was too small, and the wind was too strong.

In the blink of an eye, the rodent pet was blown dozens of meters into the air.

Just as the little boy was about to burst into tears, the rodent pet’s figure suddenly disappeared in the sky.

Immediately afterward, a figure that seemed to blend into the night appeared out of thin air, holding the rodent pet that had been blown into the air in its paws.

At the same time, the wind stopped.

“Swish!” The little boy was overjoyed and hugged the rodent pet tightly.

“Swish swish!” The rodent pet cried out.

It was so scared! So scared!

“Xunxun~”

Seeing that the rodent pet was frightened, Little Xunbao took off its ring, took out a tree fruit from it, and handed it over.

“Swish swish…”

The rodent pet sniffed the tree fruit, then its eyes lit up, and it quickly took it and started to eat it.

“Thank you so much!” The little boy said gratefully.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao scratched its head and called out, indicating that it was no trouble at all, it was just a small favor.

“It seems only liking is acceptable; positive emotions like gratitude won’t work,” Qiao Sang analyzed, looking down from high above.

She meant she hadn’t seen any white energy being generated.

“Children are simple-minded; accepting help will definitely generate some goodwill, and this goodwill must include a bit of liking,” Michaela said from the side. “It seems that ordinary liking isn’t enough to generate the white energy Little Treasure Hunter needs.”

Does the liking need to be more intense… Qiao Sang wondered.

“Xunxun~”

In a flash of thought, Little Treasure Hunter called out from below, indicating it was leaving.

Then, it turned and was about to float into the sky.

“Can I know your name?” the little boy called out quickly.

“Xunxun~”

Little Treasure Hunter called out, then floated into the air.

“Swish swish.”

The rodent-like pet called out, helping to translate.

Its name was Little Treasure Hunter.

On Yan Tian Star, some people, after deciding on a pet they would contract with, would even specifically learn the relevant language so they could understand without a contract.

The little boy understood.

The boy and the pet watched Little Treasure Hunter depart.

“Little Treasure Hunter! Thank you!” the little boy waved and shouted.

“Swish, swish!” The rodent-like pet also waved its paws.

In the dim light, Josang clearly saw specks of starlight emanating from the little boy and the rodent-like pet, drifting towards Little Treasure Hunter’s location.

“There’s white energy…” Josang murmured.

Michaela was taken aback at first, then guessed, “It seems even a little bit of liking can generate this kind of energy.”

“No,” Josang said, “I think it might be because they know Little Treasure Hunter’s name…”

A name… Michaela fell into deep thought.

…

Two hours later.

Villa, room.

A pale yellow desk lamp shone on the computer screen. Josang sat at the desk, typing rapidly, recording his research on white energy that day.

Today I found four research subjects. The first was a fan of Xiao Xunbao, who generated white energy the moment they saw Xiao Xunbao. The second was a child and pet who didn’t know Xiao Xunbao. They made contact through help, and no white energy was generated when they thanked the fan, but it was generated when they learned Xiao Xunbao’s name…

The third was someone who knew Xiao Xunbao but wasn’t a fan. They were pleasantly surprised to see Xiao Xunbao and asked for an autograph, but no white energy was generated. The fourth was a passerby whose wallet had been stolen. This wasn’t a deliberately staged accident. After helping them get their wallet back, the person expressed sincere gratitude. Xiao Xunbao didn’t reveal their name, and the person didn’t generate white energy…

Qiao Sang looked at her notes, pondered for a few seconds, and typed down her analysis:

It seems that those who generate energy must genuinely like Xiao Xunbao, not just superficially like the third subject, and they must also know Xiao Xunbao’s name…

Therefore, to quickly collect this energy, Xiao Xunbao’s fame must increase rapidly, ideally to the point where the entire intergalactic world knows its name. Only then will there be a chance to absorb this energy upon its first appearance, instead of just during battles…

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao watched intently from the side, a “So that’s how it is” expression on his face.

Let everyone know his name…

The more Little Xunbao thought about it, the more excited he became, wishing he could train for a few hours right now.

However, just then, Ya Bao pushed open the door and walked in.

Little Xunbao turned around, their eyes meeting.

Almost instantly, Little Xunbao froze, remembering his miserable experience that day, immediately abandoning his training thoughts.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao called out, indicating that he had wasted too much time outside that evening and wanted to come train with him earlier tomorrow.

Little Xunbao stared at the computer, pretending not to hear.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao raised his voice and called out. “

Little Xun Bao, I’m talking to you!

” “Xun Xun…”

Little Xun Bao turned his head, his face ashen, and called out. “

I know…

With Ya Bao supervising, it seems I won’t have to worry about Little Xun Bao’s training for a while…” Qiao Sang was very satisfied. (End of Chapter)
