Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1472
Chapter 1472. Chapter 1466 Lucky Valley (Two Chapters Combined)
In a hotel room in Pear Country,
Qiao Sang opened her eyes, quickly washed up, and went to the living room. The first thing she saw was Xia Lala watering the flowers, while Xiao Xunbao was on the sofa, wearing a colorful wig and constantly calling out “Xun Xun, Xun Xun” into her phone, seemingly livestreaming.
“Xia Xia,”
Xia Lala called out, a sweet smile on her face, as a greeting.
“Xun Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao looked up and saw her Beastmaster. After greeting her viewers, she quickly ended her livestream and floated over, eagerly asking where they were going today.
Qiao Sang walked over, took the watering can from Xia Lala, and helped water the flowers while saying, “We should be going to Lucky Valley.”
Teacher Michaela had mentioned today’s plans when they were soaking in the hot springs yesterday; she remembered the location was called Lucky Valley.
“Xun Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao picked up her phone and eagerly typed “Lucky Valley” into it.
Soon, the relevant information appeared:
【Lucky Valley in Pear Kingdom is one of the most distinctive attractions in Pear Kingdom, having won the “Most Popular Scenic Spot of the Year” award for thirty consecutive years. Lucky Pupas live in Lucky Valley. At 5 PM, the Lucky Pupas will scatter seeds. If you can catch a seed, it is said that one of your wishes may be granted.】
“Xunxun!”
Little Xunbao put down its phone and excitedly called out, indicating that it wanted to go!
Qiao Sang smiled and said, “After everyone wakes up and has breakfast, we’ll go over.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao grinned, then its eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared from its spot, reappearing in the room.
Qiao Sang had amazing hearing and clearly heard a series of “smacking” sounds coming from inside the room, like tongues licking cheeks.
“Qingqing!”
Immediately afterward, Qingbao’s irritable voice rang out, along with the sound of a howling wind.
Qiao Sang put down the kettle and quickly went to the room. Sure enough, Qing Bao was glaring angrily at Xiao Xun Bao. Various items had been swept into the air by the gale, and the curtains were fluttering wildly.
Xia Lala floated in after her, but was blown away by the gale the moment she entered the room.
Qiao Sang reacted quickly and scooped Xia Lala into her arms.
“Xun Xun!”
Xiao Xun Bao saw its beast master and, as if seeing a savior, quickly teleported behind its master.
Qiao Sang coughed and said, “Qing Bao.”
“Qing Qing.”
The gale stopped, and Qing Bao looked aggrieved and called out.
Various items fell down in unison.
A flash of white light, and Gang Bao quickly caught and put the items back.
“Xun Xun.”
Xiao Xun Bao called out, indicating that it hadn’t done anything, just woken you up.
“Qing Qing!”
Qing Bao looked angry and called out.
The wind blew the curtains.
Seeing that another gust of wind was about to appear, Qiao Sang quickly changed the subject, saying, “Since everyone is awake, let’s go have breakfast first.”
The wind stopped.
Qingbao glared at Xiao Xunbao, then snorted and drifted towards the living room.
“Xunxun.”
Xiao Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
“Don’t wake Qingbao up with your tongue again.” Qiao Sang said in a low voice.
“Xunxun.”
Xiao Xunbao looked aggrieved and called out, indicating that it was trying to wake everyone up quickly. Besides, when it woke up Big Brother Ya Bao and the fourth and sixth brothers with its tongue, their reactions weren’t as strong as the fifth brother’s.
It automatically ignored the third brother, Lu Bao.
You even know you can’t lick Lu Bao. Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow, looked at Xiao Xunbao with amusement, and then looked at Lu Bao, who had just jumped out of the water tank.
Lu Bao noticed the gaze and looked over.
“Xunxun!”
Xiao Xunbao was startled, waved its paws, and called out, indicating that it didn’t lick him.
Lu Bao gave it a “you don’t need to tell me” look, glanced at it, and walked towards the living room with what could be described as elegant steps.
“Qing Bao is a bit of a germaphobe, just like Lu Bao. Don’t lick it anymore.” Qiao Sang lowered her voice and continued the previous topic.
“Xun Xun.”
Little Xun Bao pouted and nodded.
“Ya Ya?”
At this moment, Ya Bao finally woke up a bit. It looked at the pouting little Xun Bao and called out, indicating what had happened. Just
as Little Xun Bao was about to speak, Qiao Sang said,
“It’s about Little Xun Bao licking you awake. Are you awake? Now we’ll go eat.”
She paused and added, “After we eat, we’ll go to Lucky Valley.”
Just then, Ya Bao’s stomach rumbled.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao instantly woke up, all sleepiness gone, jumped off the bed, and ran towards the door.
“Xun Xun~”
Little Xun Bao happily followed.
Qiao Sang smiled, picked up Xia Lala, said “Let’s go” to Gang Bao, and walked outside.
Gang Bao flapped its wings and followed.
“Tingting.”
Tingbao, who had been quiet all along, watched his beast tamer’s disappearing figure and remained silent for a moment.
Had his beast tamer forgotten him?
A thought flashed through his mind as Qiao Sang’s head peeked back from the doorway. “Tingbao, aren’t we leaving?”
“Tingting.”
Tingbao’s eyes lit up involuntarily. He called out and twisted his body, flying away.
Lucky Valley.
A steady stream of tourists walked towards the entrance. Everyone was dressed differently, but whether human or beast, almost everyone wore a green leaf-shaped hair clip.
“Why is everyone buying this?” Qiao Sang, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, observed the tourists around him and asked. “
These are leaves from the Lucky Grass,” Michaela explained. “It’s said that the Lucky Pudding likes the scent of the Lucky Grass. If someone carries a leaf from the Lucky Grass, they’ll have a higher chance of encountering the Lucky Pudding and receiving its scattered seeds.”
“So that’s how it is.” Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang walked to a nearby stall and bought several leaf-shaped hair clips. He then pinned them to the heads of Ya Bao and the others, as well as to his own head, and handed two hair clips to Teacher Michaela and Penjami.
Penjami paused for a moment, then took the clips and pinned them to her head.
Michaela smiled and took the hairpin, saying, “Why did you buy so many? We’re all going together anyway, one would have been enough. As long as the Lucky Pudding is attracted, we all have a chance to catch its seed.” “Why
didn’t you say so earlier?” Josang laughed. “Isn’t this increasing the probability of the Lucky Pudding being attracted?”
Then, she asked curiously, “Can the Lucky Pudding’s seed really randomly grant everyone’s wish?”
“It’s not that magical,” Michaela said. “The Lucky Pudding’s seed mainly increases the luck of people and their pets. Everyone who comes here has some wish that wants to be fulfilled. With such a large number of people and pets, if one or two actually get their wishes fulfilled, they’ll post it online, and with some marketing, it’ll become more and more exaggerated.”
I knew it! If catching the seed really granted a random wish, tickets would definitely need to be booked in advance. Unlike now, even though there are many people, you can still buy tickets if you show up. Josang thought to herself, “…”
“It would be nice to increase luck a little.”
She meant it sincerely, since there weren’t many pets that could increase luck, and those with this ability were usually extremely rare, rarely seen in ordinary times.
After saying that, Qiao Sang thought of something and asked, “Teacher, have you been here before?”
She remembered that Teacher Michaela had stayed on Tianyuan Star for a long time before.
“I have,” Michaela said, “but I didn’t see Lucky Pupu back then.”
Amidst casual conversation, the two and their companions entered Lucky Valley.
Following the crowd, the further they went, the more plants appeared. After about ten minutes, they stopped at an area called “Distinguish the Real from the Fake.”
Many people and pets were there, sniffing and touching the flowers and plants, seemingly trying to identify something.
The sign above “Distinguish the Real from the Fake” also read, “Pet identification devices prohibited.”
“Xunxun?”
Little Xunbao called out curiously.
“What are they doing?” Qiao Sang asked, equally curious.
“Some of the plants here are actually grass-type pets in disguise. If you can successfully identify them, you can collect a prize at a designated location,” Michaela replied.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao’s eyes lit up, and it quickly floated inside, sniffing the plants.
Besides Lu Bao, Ya Bao and the others also entered the area with great interest, trying to identify the plants.
“High-level Beastmasters and pets should be able to identify them easily,” Qiao Sang said.
Unless one has learned a skill like “Concealing Breath,” at her level, she can still quickly recognize the energy and aura of a pet if she senses it carefully.
“It’s not a big deal if they recognize it; the gifts are just small presents, mainly to add some fun,” Michaela said. “Some grass-type pets will even make noise when they see cubs or children to make themselves easier to recognize.”
“Xunxun!”
“Ya Ya!”
“Gang Quan.”
“Qing Qing!”
As soon as they finished speaking, Ya Bao and the others each pulled a blade of grass from the ground. The moment the grass was pulled out, eyes appeared at the base and blinked twice.
A grass-type pet hopped over and led them to collect their prizes.
“Ting Ting.”
Only Ting Bao was still diligently identifying the plants among the flowers and grass.
“Aren’t you going to play?” Qiao Sang glanced at Xia Lala beside her and asked.
“Xia Xia.”
Xia Lala shook her head and called out, indicating that recognizing grass-type pets was too easy for her, and she didn’t want to disturb everyone’s work.
“That’s true,” Qiao Sang thought to herself. “Xia Lala can communicate with plants, so playing this game is practically like having a cheat code.”
She led Xia Lala through the “Distinguish Real from Fake” area, unaware that whenever Xia Lala passed by, some of the surrounding plants swayed in the wind, eager to attract attention.
Nearby tourists noticed the swaying plants, approached, and pulled them up. The moment they were pulled up, the plants revealed eyes, transforming into their pet forms.
Qiao Sang, Michaela, and Ya Bao continued forward.
Lucky Valley was vast, and tourists generally only explored the more bustling areas. The further in they went, the fewer tourists there were. It wasn’t that people didn’t want to explore every area, but ordinary people and low-level beast tamers had limited stamina. Exploring every area would be like climbing a mountain ten times.
Qiao Sang and Michaela had no such worries. They arrived at an area full of tree fruits, where there were only a few people around. There were still quite a few pets, most of them queuing to pay.
This area is called “Money Fruit,” and as long as you pay, you can eat as much as you want for free.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao pointed towards the fruit and shouted excitedly.
Without saying a word, Qiao Sang paid for all of Ya Bao’s and the others’ fruit, including Penjami’s.
Ya Bao and the others happily teleported or flew up the trees to eat the fruit.
Qiao Sang looked at Penjami, who hadn’t moved, and asked, “Aren’t you going?”
Penjami was about to answer
when Qiao Sang continued, “I’ve already paid.”
Penjami was silent for a moment, then teleported to the top of one of the trees.
Seeing this, Michaela laughed,
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Meimei not sleeping while sightseeing.”
“We’re out having fun, how can I sleep?” Qiao Sang said.
Michaela sighed, “You don’t know, ever since Meimei stopped training for the Interstellar Cup, she can sleep almost anywhere.”
Just as Qiao Sang and Michaela were talking, Sharara, who was picking fruit in a tree, twitched her ears, as if sensing something, and floated in a certain direction.
Along the way, many grass-type pets’ eyes lit up when they saw it, extending invitations to play.
Sharala shook its head, refusing each invitation.
Soon, it stopped in a place filled with flowers of various colors.
Sharala’s ears twitched, then it looked towards a patch of white flowers and approached.
“Xiaxia?”
Sharala called out.
The flowers and grass stirred, and a spherical pet, about thirty centimeters in size, mostly white, with grape-like eyes, suddenly poked its head out from among the white flowers.
“Xingxing?” The spherical pet looked curious and called out.
“Xiaxia,” Sharala’s eyes crinkled as it called out.
For no apparent reason, the spherical pet felt a strange fondness for the unfamiliar pet before it, its eyes also crinkling as it called out:
“Xingxing~”
“Xiabao! Xiabao!”
Little Treasure Hunter, with its eyes closed, was conducting a comprehensive search using its spatial teleportation perspective.
“Yaya! Yaya!”
“Qingqing! Qing…Qingqing!”
Qingbao called out with a look of surprise.
Not far away, Sharara floated over.
“Where did you go? You scared me to death!” Qiao Sang ran over, saying anxiously.
Little Treasure Hunter opened its eyes.
Ya Bao and the others all surrounded it.
Michaela looked at Sharara and, seeing it was unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief.
“Shasha.”
Seeing everyone’s anxious expressions, Sharara looked embarrassed and called out.
“It’s good that you’re alright.” Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn’t help saying, “In the future, it’s best to tell me where you’re going so I can go with you. Otherwise, we don’t have a contract yet, and if you get lost, it’ll be troublesome to find you.”
“Shasha.”
Sharara nodded obediently and called out, indicating that it understood and wouldn’t do it again.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to say something more, someone exclaimed,
“It’s a Lucky Pudding!”
Qiao Sang paused, then looked up following the voice. High in the sky, a group of mostly white, spherical pets floated by.
Wherever they passed, fluffy, white, feather-like objects drifted down like snowflakes.
“So many Lucky Puddings!” Michaela exclaimed in surprise.
Last time she came, she searched for ages but hadn’t found a single one.
These were Lucky Puddings. Qiao Sang reached out and caught a feather-like object drifting down. “Xia Xia?” Xia Lala looked up, a sweet smile on her face, and called out, indicating that her luck had increased.
“Is there a wish you want to fulfill?” A wish? Qiao Sang hesitated. Her first thought was to participate in the Interstellar Cup. Then she looked at Xia Lala, a thought flashing through her mind, and a second idea emerged: if it could really be fulfilled, she wanted to quickly break through her brain’s boundaries and form a contract with Xia Lala. At the same time, Shara stretched out her paw and caught one of the feather-like objects. She closed her eyes and made a wish in her heart: Shara wants to quickly form a contract with Josang.
