Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1408

Chapter 1408. Chapter 1403 Finally, we get to the main topic (two chapters combined)

” A mission?” Qiao Sang was taken aback at first, then realized something, her eyes lit up, and she quickly opened the official backend of the Beast Taming Center.

Sure enough, she saw that her mission to find a pet that could generate tens of millions of volts had been accepted.

“What are you looking at, so happy?” Michaela asked with a smile.

“My mission was just accepted,” Qiao Sang said.

Michaela immediately realized: “A mission to find a pet that can generate tens of millions of volts?”

Tingbao, who was watching the competition by the window, suddenly turned her head and looked over.

“Yes,” Qiao Sang nodded.

“Tingting.” Tingbao twisted its body and flew over quickly, approaching its Beast Tamer.

Michaela asked, “What level of pet is it?”

“Let me see…” Qiao Sang picked up her phone, quickly browsed the information of the person who accepted the mission, and said, “It’s not written on their profile.”

“If it’s a royal-level pet, I suggest you don’t let them come,” Michaela said.

“Tingting…”

Upon hearing this, Tingbao immediately looked over with dissatisfaction, and crackling yellow arcs of electricity appeared on its body.

Michaela glanced at it and continued, “A Royal-level pet can’t withstand the 10 Million Volts Thunder Dragon’s attack. Even trying would be harmful to it.”

“Tingting…”

The electric arcs on Tingbao’s body disappeared, and it gradually calmed down.

Although it was very unhappy with the human in front of it, it had to admit that the human was right, especially after watching its own Beastmaster’s competitions recently. It knew the gap between Royal-level pets and itself.

Tingbao has grown up too. It doesn’t even need her to stop it; it can control its impulse to attack Teacher Pi… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said, “I’ll call and ask.”

After saying that, she dialed the number of the person who gave her the mission.

After two beeps, the call was connected, and a mature female voice came from the speakerphone:

“Hello?”

“Hello, this is Miyuki. You just received my mission. I want to ask what level a pet that can use 10 Million Volts is?” Qiao Sang went straight to the point.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a voice said, “It’s a King-level.”

“Great!” Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up instantly, and she asked, “When do you have time to come over?”

The voice on the other end of the phone said, “Tomorrow at 2 PM, I’ll be at the address you gave me on time.”

Hanging up the phone, Qiao Sang couldn’t hide her joy: “It’s a King-level pet, and they said

they’ll come over tomorrow at 2 PM.” You know, King-level pets with super-tier skills are extremely rare. Even though she posted that task and added notes, she didn’t have high hopes. She originally thought it would take some time, but she didn’t expect to find a pet that met the requirements so quickly.

“Tingting.”

Tingbao’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but get excited.

Is it about to evolve?

Does that mean it can also participate in the competition…?

Michaela pondered and said, “Even a King-level pet’s 10 Million Volts Thunder Dragon attack is difficult to withstand…”

“Tingting…”

Crackling yellow arcs of electricity reappeared on Tingbao’s body.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang quickly chimed in, “I understand. I’ll have Tingbao train properly before enduring millions of volts. If she fails tomorrow, I’ll get her contact information so she can come back next time.”

If Michaela had said this, the power of the electric arcs on Tingbao’s body would definitely have increased. However, hearing its Beastmaster say this, it felt it made a lot of sense, even thinking its Beastmaster was very thoughtful. It couldn’t help but show a serious expression and nodded:

“Tingting.”

It would train hard and try to evolve in one go.

Michaela laughed, “That’s exactly what I meant.”

What do you mean? You clearly didn’t mean that… Tingbao expressed its dissatisfaction with its eyes.

…

The next day, early morning.

Nine o’clock in the morning.

On the desolate open ground, dark clouds covered the sky.

A strong wind surged, and from the dark clouds, a shocking bolt of lightning suddenly struck down.

Tingbao twisted its purple body and took the initiative to meet it.   With a deafening crash, terrifying lightning struck Tingbao’s body.

“Tingting!”   Tingbao   cried out in pain, plummeting downwards.   But just then, a gust of wind caught it safely.   The wind placed Tingbao on the ground, and Qingbao appeared beside it.   Lubao, standing nearby, didn’t say a word; the gem on its forehead emitted a ghostly blue light, illuminating the scene.   ”Tingting.”   The ghostly blue light dissipated, and Tingbao was fully revived.   It twisted its body, immediately preparing to fly back into the air.   ”Wait,” Qiao Sang stopped it.   Tingbao stopped and looked over.   ”You have the lightning-absorbing property; you can absorb some of the lightning power first before enduring it,” Qiao Sang said. “Practice slowly like this, and once your endurance increases, you can endure it all with your body. That might be better.”   ”Tingting.”   Tingbao nodded, then twisted its body and flew into the sky, opening its mouth to actively meet the lightning bolt that was about to strike.   This time, it wasn’t immediately struck down.   Sure enough, absorbing the lightning first had an effect… Qiao Sang was satisfied and retreated to a place unaffected by the gale.   Suddenly, she noticed something, turned her head, and found Xia Lala staring at her with blinking eyes not far away.   “What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me?” Qiao Sang walked over and asked with a smile.   “Xia Xia?”   Xia Lala looked shy, then, as if gathering her courage, called out, “When will you get a new contract page?”   Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment. To be honest, she really didn’t expect Xia Lala to ask that question.   When will you get a new contract page…   Qiao Sang pondered, “Probably a long time. I only recently became an A-level Beast Tamer.”

Becoming an S-rank Beastmaster from an A-rank requires not only talent and resources, but also a certain amount of luck and fortuitous encounters. Many who become A-rank Beastmasters at a relatively young age, even with abundant resources, may never reach S-rank in their entire lives.

Despite the Master Challenge gathering so many A-rank Beastmasters under 100 years old, it’s possible that none of these promising young A-rank Beastmasters will ever become S-rank. There

have been many prodigies who became A-rank Beastmasters in their teens, yet even at over 900 years old, nearing the end of their lives, they remained A-rank Beastmasters. Their brainpower was clearly only 0.1%, or even 0.01%, away from 70% of that of an S-rank Beastmaster, yet they simply couldn’t take that leap.

Therefore, almost everyone who becomes an S-rank Beastmaster, even without participating in interstellar competitions, achieves fame in interstellar space.

Of course, with the passage of time, or through deliberate erasure of their existence online, some S-rank Beastmasters will gradually be forgotten, like Teacher Michaela.

It wasn’t that she felt she couldn’t become an S-rank Beastmaster, but rather that she couldn’t break through her mental barrier as quickly as before.

“Xiaxia…”

Xia Lala looked disappointed upon hearing

this. Qiao Sang, seeing this, was about to ask what was wrong.

“Xunxun!”

Suddenly, Little Xunbao excitedly floated over, holding up its phone and barking, indicating that it had received an invitation from a magazine!

Qiao Sang’s attention was instantly drawn to it: “What magazine?”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao handed over the phone, barking happily, indicating that it was from a magazine called World Ghost.

World Ghost? Qiao Sang took the phone, glanced at the general content of the invitation, and then opened a search app and entered the four words “World Ghost”.

Soon, relevant content appeared.

World Ghost magazine is an S-level major publication sponsored by the World Beast Taming Association and the World Ghost Association…

Qiao Sang quickly browsed through it and immediately said, “This magazine is good, you can go if you want.”

Although she hadn’t read many magazines, both the World Beast Taming Association and the World Ghost Association were behemoths, and a magazine jointly sponsored by these two associations couldn’t be bad.

Money wasn’t important, increasing Little Xunbao’s popularity was the key.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao grinned, quickly took off its ring, and pulled out one piece of clothing, wig, and decoration after another.

“What are you doing?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao exclaimed excitedly, indicating that it was going to shoot a magazine and asking for help in choosing the best looks.

It then put a wig on its head.

Qiao Sang’s lips twitched slightly. “When you get to the magazine office, they’ll have a stylist to help you with the styling.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao’s eyes lit up, and it yanked off its wig, looking like it was really there.

“Of course,” Qiao Sang smiled.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao happily put everything it had just taken out back. *

Then I won’t style it~*

Qiao Sang smiled as she watched Little Xunbao’s actions.

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Lala, seeing this scene, looked envious. *

Is it because of the contract that they get along so harmoniously…?

* Then, it seemed to realize something and looked regretful.

…

1:58 PM.

In the first-floor living room, Mikaela sat on the soft sofa, checking the time on her phone.

Just then, Little Xunbao brushed its teeth, humming a song as it passed by.

“What’s wrong with Little Treasure? I feel like it’s brushed its teeth several times today,” Michaela asked, putting down her phone.

“It’s been invited by World Ghost magazine to do a photoshoot,” Josang said.

Little Treasure nodded while brushing its teeth.

“World Ghost?” Michaela was taken aback for a moment, then asked, “When is it going to do the photoshoot?”

She wasn’t surprised that Little Treasure was going to do a magazine photoshoot. Usually, famous beast tamers and pets go through this stage. Josang had already calculated that she had achieved initial fame when she first appeared in the Master Challenge, and she received many invitations at that time, but she declined them all.

“After the Master Challenge is completely over,” Josang said.

“That’s good. Little Treasure needs to be liked by everyone. Doing a photoshoot in a well-known magazine like this can further increase its popularity,” Michaela said.

Josang smiled and said, “That’s what I think too.”

“Ding-dong~”

The doorbell rang at that moment.

Tingbao, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, couldn’t wait to open the door.

“Hello, is Sanyoumu home?” the person at the door asked.

“I’m here, I’m here.” Josang quickly came to the entrance.

When she saw the person standing at the door, her expression froze, and she said in surprise,

“Serana?”

Then, she suddenly remembered that her opponent did indeed have a King-level Electric-type pet with a 10 million volt attack.

“It’s me,” Serana said with a smile from the doorway. “I was just guessing, but it really is you.”

“You accepted my mission?” Josang couldn’t help but confirm.

“Yes,” Serana nodded slightly.

“Come in quickly,” Josang led her to the sofa.

“Greetings, senior,” Serana greeted Michaela respectfully.

Those who had studied Josang’s background were familiar with her teacher.

“Hello,” Michaela greeted.

Steel Treasure brought over a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table in front of it.

It knew its Beastmaster wanted to build a good relationship with this human to increase its chances of obtaining the Sun Crystal.

“Well done…” After giving Steel Treasure an approving look, Josan thought of something and asked, “You knew it was me?”

“It was just a guess before,” Serana laughed. “Your ID is a split of your name, and besides money, the reward you offered included the option of Healing Light. There aren’t many pets that can use Healing Light.”

She paused, then added, “I also gathered information on you. Your sixth pet was Thunder Reverse Dragon, and the evolution condition for Thunder Reverse Dragon is 10 million volts. Considering all these factors, I felt there was a high possibility it was you.”

Michaela glanced at her.

Upon hearing this, Jo Sang instinctively became alert. Being so well-informed by her opponent was not a good thing…

Then, something occurred to her, and she felt a strange surge of joy: “Did you take this mission because you think it’s for me?”

If so, it seemed the other party also wanted to build a good relationship with her, and she could do just that. If the other party could win the championship…

With these thoughts flashing through her mind, Serana chuckled:

“How could that be? It’s just that the reward you offered is too generous, and I happen to meet your mission requirements.”

Gangbao silently glanced at his own beast tamer, his eyes saying: You’re just being presumptuous.

… Jo Sang pretended not to notice Gangbao’s thoughts and continued to ask with an unchanged expression: “Why would you take on a mission at this crucial moment?”

It wasn’t that there weren’t A-rank beast tamers who accepted missions at the Beast Taming Center, but it was during the competition. Normally, during this time, professional beast tamers would focus on their own competitions and wouldn’t do anything else.

Now that they had reached the top ten, it was even less likely that they would go out to accept any missions.

“Your reward is exactly what I need,” Serana said succinctly.

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered that the other person was a representative of commoner beast tamers, relying almost entirely on their own efforts.

Even with their current considerable wealth, it was all earned through their own hard work.

It’s tough not having a background; even at this crucial moment in the competition, they still have to come out and earn resources themselves… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, then stood up and said,

“I won’t waste your time anymore, let’s go out and begin now.”

“Tingting.”

Tingbao, who had patiently listened for so long, showed an expression of excitement mixed with nervousness.

Finally, we’re getting to the point… (End of Chapter)
