Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1511

1511. Chapter 1505: The Miscellaneous Affairs Shop (Two Chapters Combined)

“Impossible, it shouldn’t be the First Seat.” Qiao Sang quickly calmed down.

The First Seat was the highest-ranking administrator of the Beast Taming Alliance

. They would only deal with super-powerful figures and major events. Even in Qi Kingdom, they wouldn’t be interested in a coordinator with a bit of fame, let alone personally meet with them. Zhou Jing was a B-level coordinator. It wasn’t that coordinators of that level weren’t strong, but compared to the First Seat, he was like a small fry—utterly insignificant.

It was like a newbie player in a game who had just left the starting area, cleared a slightly difficult dungeon, gained some fame, and then was seen and received by the CEO in charge of the entire game—it was too absurd.

It must just be that some position in Qi Kingdom, like in the Beast Taming Alliance, also had a title called “First Seat. “

After figuring this out, Qiao Sang inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

“Xunxun?”

At this moment, Little Xunbao called out, indicating, “Shall we go back?”

It had already put everything into the ring.

Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment, then said,

“No, let’s wander around some more.”

The night in Qi Kingdom was dazzling with lights, filled with an atmosphere of extravagant luxury. Countless stylish people and pets chatted and laughed on the streets, showing no signs of financial hardship or busyness.

“Look at my new hairstyle, what do you think?”

“Let me tell you, a new pet grooming shop recently opened, and the results are amazing.”

“Jianjian!”

Look at my muscles, I definitely won’t be eliminated in the preliminary rounds again!

“My Liangliang Meow has been eating too much lately, she’s gotten a little fat, which doesn’t seem good for the coordination competition.”

Pedestrians and pets chatted in small groups, mostly discussing topics related to coordination and grooming.

Qiao Sang, with Ya Bao and the others, navigated through the bustling streets.

Lu Bao’s head silently peeked out of the backpack, observing everything around her.

Occasionally, someone or a pet would look over, stop instantly, and show an expression of amazement.

“Xun Xun.”

Little Xun Bao observed its surroundings, then suddenly sighed and called out, indicating that no one seemed to have noticed it.

It realized that the people and pets here preferred good-looking creatures. Everyone turned to look at their own Beastmasters and Ya Bao, but no one and no pet looked at it.

It didn’t think it was ugly at all. Little Xun Bao rarely fell into self-doubt.

“Qing Qing,”

Qing Bao glanced at it and called out, implying that maybe it was just too dark-skinned.

Little Xun Bao had a look of sudden realization, then grinned, revealing two rows of exceptionally white teeth.

The next second, a passing pet turned to look at it.

“Xun Xun!”

Little Xun Bao’s eyes lit up, and it called out happily, indicating that it knew it wasn’t ugly.

For the rest of the time, Little Xun Bao maintained its smiling expression with two rows of teeth.

“Ya Ya?”

After walking for a while, Ya Bao called out curiously.

Where are we going?

“The Miscellaneous Affairs Shop,” Qiao Sang said.

The Miscellaneous Affairs Shop was a shop that provided various daily chores. If no one could accept a task at the Beastmaster Center, or if a task couldn’t be posted there, people would usually try their luck at the Miscellaneous Affairs Shop.

On Tianyuan Star, some countries offer this type of service, while others don’t; Qi Kingdom is among the former.

During their conversation, Qiao Sang stopped in front of a shop called “The House That Doesn’t Need to Do Anything.”

She glanced at the navigation in her hand, then at the shop’s name above, confirming it was the right place, before entering.

“Keke!”

Inside, a bipedal feline pet wearing an apron was cleaning. Seeing a customer enter, it excitedly meowed.

A customer!

“Coming, coming!” an aged voice called out first.

A short while later, an elderly woman with gray hair, appearing to be around seventy years old, came out from the inner room.

She kindly inquired,

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“I’d like to ask a few questions,” Qiao Sang said.

“We charge by the hour, 500 Alliance Coins per hour,” the old woman said.

“No problem,” Qiao Sang replied.

The old woman sat down in the office area, pressed the timer on the desk twice, and asked,

“What do you want to ask?”

Qiao Sang sat down in the chair in front of her and said, “I want to ask where I can buy Ice Glass Fruit and Yang Vortex Crystal here.”

Upon hearing this, the old woman looked surprised, glanced at her and Ya Bao several times, pondered for a moment, and said,

“These two items are considered relatively rare among the materials needed for royal-level pets. Every January, the country holds a celebration, and the First Seat may designate a few people and pets at the celebration to fulfill their wishes. No matter how rare the item is, the First Seat can grant it, or you may be able to obtain it by being summoned by the First Seat.”

Although she was nearly a hundred years old, her tone of voice was unconsciously much more respectful.

“The First Seat again.” Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and asked, “Isn’t there a way to buy it?”

“You’re probably not from our Qi Kingdom,” the old woman said. “Some items are only accessible to certain nobles of Qi Kingdom; foreigners can’t buy them.”

The nobles of Qi Kingdom can only stay here for a week at a time; excluding today, that’s only six days. They definitely won’t be able to attend the January celebration. Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts and asked,

“What kind of person gets an audience with the First Seat?”

“The First Seat prefers outstanding coordinators,” the old woman said. “The First Seat only summons coordinators and pets that have performed exceptionally well in coordination competitions.”

Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment, finally asking the question he had been wanting to ask: “Who is the First Seat? Is it the leader of this country?”

Upon hearing this, the old woman instantly forgot her respect and asked in astonishment with a “What are you talking about?” expression:

“Don’t you know the First Seat of the Beast Taming Alliance?”

Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat. “You mean the First Seat here is the First Seat of the Beast Taming Alliance?”

The old woman laughed again. “I knew you wouldn’t know. Besides the First Seat, who else dares to call themselves the First Seat? That’s right, our First Seat is the First Seat of the Beast Taming Alliance.”

How could it be the First Seat of the Beast Taming Alliance? Qiao Sang was shocked, feeling that it was completely illogical.

The old woman chuckled, “I see surprise in your expression.”

The First Seat—that’s the First Seat of the Beast Taming Alliance! If you encountered this in any random country, wouldn’t you be surprised? Qiao Sang inwardly scoffed, then honestly replied, “I am very surprised. I never expected to meet the First Seat here.”

The old woman paused, seemingly equally surprised, “You didn’t know the First Seat was in our country?”

Qiao Sang explained, “There’s very little news about Qi Kingdom outside. Before coming here, I hadn’t seen any information about it.”

The old woman sighed, “I know people outside rarely know anything about our country, but I didn’t expect they wouldn’t even know about the First Seat.”

Perhaps it was precisely because the First Seat was here that the outside world found it difficult to receive news about Qi Kingdom, Qiao Sang thought to herself.

After asking some more questions about Qi Kingdom, she paid and left.

It was nearly midnight.

In her hotel room,

Qiao Sang leaned against the bed, her laptop in front of her, checking information about those the First Seat had previously summoned.

After entering Qi Kingdom, information and data from the outside world became difficult to access, but finding information within Qi Kingdom itself was no longer an obstacle.

Strangely, even though the First Seat is in the Kingdom of Qi and appears at the national celebration every January to randomly select someone to fulfill their wish, not a single photo of him can be found online.

After examining the list for a while, Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

The people summoned by the First Seat were mostly coordinators who had just achieved good results in some coordination competition and were very popular.

These coordinators participated in all large-scale events, and the lowest coordinator level was B.

These coordination competitions had level requirements for participating coordinators. Even if he wanted to gain attention through coordination competitions, aside from whether he had enough time and could achieve results, he was only an E-level coordinator and didn’t even qualify to register.

Trying to get a First Seat summoned through coordination competitions seemed impossible.

Should he try to find a noble?

But he was completely unfamiliar with Qi Kingdom and didn’t even know which nobles were there.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Gangbao suddenly called out,

“Gangquan.”

He could try finding that human named Zhou Jing.

Qiao Sang looked at it, surprised, “You’re still awake?”

“Gangquan,”

Gangbao said helplessly, indicating that it couldn’t sleep because Qiao Sang was thinking about things.

Qiao Sang was a little embarrassed: “I forgot to block it.”

After saying that, she agreed: “Finding Zhou Jing is indeed a good choice.”

Even if he’s not a noble, he does have a Yang Vortex Crystal. As long as we can get the Yang Vortex Crystal, it won’t be a wasted trip.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang looked at the little Xunbao who was sighing beside her and asked:

“Do you remember that human named Zhou Jing we met at the mall today?”

“Xunxun.”

The little Xunbao sighed and called out.

It remembered that the human was very popular.

“Use spatial teleportation to find him,” Qiao Sang said.

After saying that, she placed several addresses that she had already recorded on the computer in front of the little Xunbao and said: “Take a look at these locations. He should be in one of them.”

As a well-known celebrity coordinator in Qi Kingdom, Zhou Jing’s schedule could be found, and there were also leaks about where he lived.

“Xunxun.”

The little Xunbao called out listlessly, indicating what was the point of finding this human.

It was now only thinking about not being able to do its live stream and the fans waiting for it to do so, completely forgetting the conversation at the mall.

“Let’s trade Yang Vortex Crystals with him, and see if he can get us some Ice Glass Fruit,” Qiao Sang said. “If all goes well, we might be able to go back sooner.”

“Xunxun~”

Go back sooner? Little Xunbao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and it looked serious. It called out, indicating that it would take care of it. Then it looked at the computer screen, took out its phone, and located each address on it. Its eyes glowed blue.

Instantly, the terrain map in its mind appeared in its head like a three-dimensional picture.

After about ten minutes, Little Xunbao opened its eyes, pointed to one of the addresses, and called out:

“Xunxun~”

It’s here.

Little Xunbao’s spatial teleportation can now even see inside buildings.

After saying that, Little Xunbao couldn’t wait to call out again:

“Xunxun?”

Should we go now?

Qiao Sang looked at it and said with a smile:

“Don’t you know what time it is? Everyone else is probably already asleep. Let’s go tomorrow.”

“Xunxun.”

Little Xunbao sighed and called out, indicating that it would be okay then.

The image it saw showed that the human was indeed asleep.

Qiao Sang looked at the computer, memorized the address Little Xunbao had just pointed out, turned off the computer, and put it aside. Then, as if remembering something, she looked at Lu Bao in the water tank by the wall.

Lu Bao seemed to sense something and opened its eyes.

“You weren’t asleep either?” Qiao Sang asked in surprise.

“Ice Saint,”

Lu Bao called out, its head popping out of the water tank, followed by a faint blue light emanating from the gem on its forehead.

Qiao Sang realized what Lu Bao was about to do and quickly said, “I don’t need Healing Light.”

Upon hearing this, the faint blue light from the gem on Lu Bao’s forehead disappeared, and it quietly looked at its Beastmaster.

Qiao Sang coughed and said, “If you weren’t asleep, I originally wanted you to try freezing me.”

Lu Bao was stunned for a moment.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao looked puzzled and called out, indicating that the freezing resistance competition was over.

“Didn’t I feel a slight improvement in my brainpower during the freeze resistance competition?” Qiao Sang said seriously, “So I want you to freeze me again to see if it can help with the breakthrough in brainpower.”

She paused, then added, “Just thaw me when you wake up tomorrow morning.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao suddenly understood.

Lu Bao looked worried upon hearing this and called out,

“Ice Saint?”

Will this make it hard for you to sleep?

Qiao Sang’s heart softened, and she said gently,

“What’s wrong with not sleeping? As long as I come out of the freeze, one healing light from you will restore my condition. The most important thing now is to see if this method can improve brainpower.”

“Ice Saint.”

Lu Bao nodded, then circulated her energy, emanating a faint chill from her body.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Sang quickly lay down flat and closed her eyes.

The biting cold air swept over her, and a thick layer of ice crackled and solidified around her.

*Hiss.* Lu Bao’s freezing effect was indeed much more powerful than the Snow Blind Deer’s. She felt cold almost immediately after being frozen. Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

Back when she participated in the cold resistance competition, she only started to feel cold in the later days.

Just then, Gang Bao’s voice rang in her mind:

“Gang Quan.”

You were frozen for a week during the cold resistance competition; one night shouldn’t have much effect, right?

Qiao Sang: “.”

Time slowly passed.

Gang Bao closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.

“Xun Xun.”

Little Treasure sat on the sofa, scrolling through content about the Strange Kingdom on his phone.

Inside the water tank, Lu Bao kept her eyes open, staring at her frozen Beastmaster on the bed, too afraid to close them. (End of Chapter)
