Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1544

1544. Chapter 1538 Senior Researcher (Two-in-One)

What?! There’s not even a description of the alien pet, and the location is the entire eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star! How am I supposed to find it? Qiao Sang had a bad feeling and asked, “Is there no other information about the alien pet?”

Felix said, “This alien pet has the ability to transform; it can freely change into the appearance of other pets, even humans.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Good grief, although there’s one more piece of information, the difficulty has increased even more, directly reaching hell level.

“The search area is too vast, and there’s not even a specific appearance. How am I supposed to find it?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but say.

Felix chuckled, “You’re the youngest S-rank Beastmaster in history, and you don’t even have the confidence to find an alien pet within a year?” *

I really don’t.* He could handle a battle, but finding a pet in the eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star that didn’t even know what it looked like and could change its appearance in various ways? Even Teacher Michaela probably couldn’t find that. Qiao Sang mentally scoffed, then hesitated before saying,

“I’m from Blue Star, and there’s still a lot I’m not familiar with about the pets of Tianyuan Star, and I…”

Before he could finish, Felix interrupted,

“I have a lot of confidence in you, and you should have more confidence in yourself. Even though the appearance of an alien pet is unknown, we can use the most advanced pet identification device to see if its information is recorded in the Beastmaster Alliance.” Logically

, as the examiner, he only needed to issue the task; how to complete it, and whether or not it could be completed, was the examinee’s problem, not his.

However, the person before him was truly extraordinary. Such a young S-rank Beast Tamer, not only had he contracted with Sharara, but he had also nurtured an endangered pet beast into a form that surpassed the species’ limits—unheard of indeed. Such talent, if he joined the Beast Taming Alliance in the future, would undoubtedly have limitless potential. This compelled him to offer some guidance.

Identify all the pet beasts in the entire eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star? Even that alien pet beast could change its human form… Qiao Sang sighed heavily inwardly, deeply realizing the arduousness of the task. However, on the surface, he nodded and said,

“I understand.”

Now that the mission had been issued, there was no point in saying more; he could only do his best to complete it. If he couldn’t, he could simply wait until next year to find another mission. After all, he was still young, and had plenty of time to be assessed as an S-rank professional Beast Tamer.

Thinking this, Qiao Sang relaxed considerably.

“Any other questions?” Felix asked.

“No,” Qiao Sang shook his head.

Felix looked at his mechanical-type pet, about to tell it to leave, but then he remembered something and looked back at Qiao Sang, saying in a friendly voice,

“Examiners and examinees are not allowed to contact each other privately. After your assessment is over and you officially become an S-rank professional beast tamer, we can get to know each other properly. If you have any questions then, you can come to me.”

Qiao Sang thought to herself, “I’m afraid I won’t become a formal S-rank professional beast tamer by the time the assessment is over,” but outwardly she looked flattered and nodded,

“Okay, I will definitely do my best to complete the assessment.”

Felix gave her a “I believe in you” smile before looking at his mechanical-type pet and saying, “Let’s go, let’s go back.”

The two-legged mechanical-type pet’s eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared with its group of figures.

Ten minutes later.

Ice Kingdom, hotel.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air in the living room of the room. She immediately sat down on the sofa, slumped down, and sighed.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao called out, indicating what was wrong.

“Xunxun~”

Before Qiao Sang could answer, Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating that its Beastmaster must think the assessment task was too difficult.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao looked puzzled and called out, indicating that it was just finding an alien pet, was it really that hard?

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating that of course it was difficult; they didn’t even know what the pet looked like, and they had to search across the entire eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao tilted its head and called out.

Is the eastern hemisphere that big?

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao gestured the shape of a ball, then sliced it in half with its paw, pointed to one half and called out.

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao looked at it and called out, indicating that it wasn’t that big.

Xiao Xunbao: “.”

“Gang Quan?”

Gang Bao called out from the side, indicating that you think the Dragon Kingdom is big?

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao thought for a moment, nodded, and called out.

Big.

“Steel Power.”

Steel Treasure called out. The eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star should be a hundred times larger than the Dragon Kingdom.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Treasure’s eyes widened in shock.

So big!

“Xun Xun~”

“Steel Power.”

Little Xun Bao and Steel Treasure nodded simultaneously.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Treasure thought for two seconds, then called out optimistically, indicating that it wasn’t difficult, since they had a year to complete the mission.

Let alone a year, just considering that alien pet’s ability to change its appearance at any time, even two years wouldn’t guarantee finding it. Qiao Sang sighed heavily inwardly.

“Xia Xia.”

At this moment, Xia Bao emitted a fresh fragrance and called out sweetly, indicating that there was no need to worry, as it could get the flowers and plants to help search.

Get the flowers and plants to help search? Qiao Sang’s mind raced with the ability to sense everything, and she sat up abruptly.

If she could get the flowers and plants in each city to help search, the efficiency of finding the alien pet would definitely increase significantly!

“Qingqing,”

Qingbao called out, indicating that it could ask the wind to help search.

Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao, her heart stirred again, and a look of gratitude appeared on her face.

The wind is everywhere; if the wind could also help search, the chances of finding it would definitely increase significantly.

Just as she was moved, Tingbao rationally called out twice:

“Tingting.”

“Tingting.”

But that alien pet could change its appearance in various ways, even transforming into a human. Even if it passed by its own beast tamer, the tamer might not recognize it. How could a plant and a wind with little intelligence possibly recognize it?

Qiao Sang: “.”

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao showed an expression that said, “You have a point.”

It remembered the time it used the wind to search for solar crystals, only to find fakes.

“Although the plant and the wind are as you said, they can still help quickly pinpoint some suspicious targets,” Qiao Sang said, “greatly increasing our chances of finding them.”

“Xiaxia?”

Xiabao perked up upon hearing this and called out, indicating whether they needed to search now?

Qiao Sang opened her mouth, about to speak.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated.

She took out her phone, and the caller ID showed: Dr. Jiang.

Dr. Jiang? Qiao Sang was stunned.

Dr. Jiang from the Water Luana Conservation Center in the Ancient Mist Region? Why would he call?

Qiao Sang answered the phone and put it to her ear.

“Hello, is this Qiao Sang?” A familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar voice came through the speakerphone.

“It’s me.” Qiao Sang asked, “Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Is something the matter?”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, as if someone was organizing their thoughts. After two seconds, Dr. Jiang’s voice came through:

“I just received news that an Ice Saint Ape has broken through its racial limit and evolved to the Emperor level. Its race is called Ice Luo Di Mu, and it has been registered with the Beast Taming Alliance. I only know of two Ice Saint Apes so far, one at our Water Luyana Protection Center, and the other is with you. I want to know if this Ice Saint Ape that broke through its racial limit is yours.”

Qiao Sang glanced at Lu Bao and said in surprise, “It’s my Lu Bao. Did you receive the news so quickly? I just finished registering Lu Bao’s information at the Beast Taming Center.”

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line, but the other person’s breathing could be heard suddenly becoming heavier.

A few seconds later, Dr. Jiang exclaimed excitedly,

“My God! How did you do that! Our conservation center has been researching Ice Saint Asia breaking through its racial limits, but we haven’t made any progress. Even I always thought Ice Saint Asia was the limit for the Water Luana race! I never expected you to give me, to give our Water Luana Conservation Center, such a huge surprise!”

He then eagerly asked, “How did you manage to make Ice Saint Asia evolve?”

“Actually, I wasn’t with Luana when it broke through its racial limits,” Qiao Sang said.

Dr. Jiang: “Not with Ice Saint Asia?”

His tone was full of bewilderment and disbelief.

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement and said, “Something happened back then, forcing me to be separated from Lu Bao for a short time. However, I roughly know something about its evolution. At that time, it was in a glacier environment.”

She then went on to explain in detail why Lu Bao evolved, concluding,

“So I think that for Ice Saint Asia to break through to the limit of its race, it wasn’t simply about pushing its sadness to the extreme, but rather overcoming that emotion and achieving a breakthrough, which led to its evolution.”

As Lu Bao’s Beastmaster, she also wanted to contribute to the Water Lu Yana race. The other party had dedicated most of their life to researching and protecting the Water Lu Yana race, and with Dr. Jiang and his team’s research, they might be able to discover the correct evolutionary path for Ice Saint Asia.

Dr. Jiang listened attentively and suddenly realized, “No wonder we’ve conducted so many studies, and Ice Saint Asia’s energy hasn’t fluctuated at all. It turns out that emotional energy needs to be converted!”

“This is just my speculation,” Qiao Sang said cautiously.

Dr. Jiang said, “Your speculation should be correct. We’ve always wanted to push Ice Saint Asia to its limit with certain emotional energy, and we’ve changed the environment, but we never considered that the emotion needed to be transformed. We will be researching in this direction from now on.”

Qiao Sang smiled and said, “I believe you can definitely figure it out.”

“We owe this research direction to you,” Dr. Jiang said gratefully. “I will submit a report to apply for an upgrade to your researcher level.”

Upgrade researcher level. Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

Although she hadn’t considered becoming a formal researcher, the researcher status had indeed brought her many benefits, such as the tens of thousands of Alliance Coins per month for a junior researcher.

“Can I?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Of course,” Dr. Jiang said. “If the researcher level isn’t increased step by step, with your contribution in helping Ice Saint Asia break through the racial limit, you can definitely become a senior researcher directly.”

“Senior researcher is too exaggerated,” Qiao Sang quickly said.

“You’re qualified,” Dr. Jiang smiled. “Not only Ice Saint Asia, but you’ve also cultivated entirely new forms for Fire Fang Dog and Little Steel Falcon, raising their potential to such high levels. The new form you cultivated for Little Steel Falcon even surpassed the original species’ limit. Even a senior researcher couldn’t achieve that.”

He paused, then added, “I’ll help you raise your researcher level first. I’ll credit you for this research on Ice Saint Asia breaking through its species’ limit. Once the research results are officially released, I’ll submit it again for you, officially making you a senior researcher.”

Senior Researcher. Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat.

It’s important to know that even the vice-principal is only a senior researcher.

Researcher levels are subdivided, starting from F-level (trainee researcher), E-level and D-level (junior researcher), C-level and B-level (intermediate researcher), and senior researcher is at the A-level. Only those who have achieved numerous significant research results can become senior researchers.

Junior researchers earn over 100,000 Alliance Coins per month; it’s unknown how much senior researchers earn.

Qiao Sang collected her thoughts and said seriously, “I will definitely cooperate fully with the research on Ice Saint Asia’s breakthrough of its racial limits!”

“Good! The research on Ice Saint Asia’s breakthrough of its racial limits depends on you!” Dr. Jiang excitedly asked, “When are you going back to Blue Star?”

Qiao Sang paused for two seconds, then said, “I’m not sure yet, but it will take at least another year.”

“No problem, no problem.” Dr. Jiang quickly said, “If you can’t come, I can go. I want to see Ice Luo Di Mu in person and learn about its related data.”

“Then I’ll wait for you on Tianyuan Star.” Qiao Sang didn’t refuse.

On one hand, she understood Dr. Jiang’s desire to see the Water Luya Nadi-level form; on the other hand, understanding the data sooner and returning to conduct research might allow her to become a senior researcher sooner.

“I’ll buy a ticket right now, wait for me!” Dr. Jiang said, quickly hanging up the phone, looking eager to get there.

Senior Researcher Qiao Sang put down her phone, in high spirits.

She never imagined she could one day become a senior researcher like the vice-principal.

A thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly remembered something. Looking around, she didn’t see Teacher Michaela, and looked towards a spot less than a meter away from Lu Bao, asking,

“Where’s Teacher Michaela?”

Where her gaze fell, Jiu Bugu appeared, calling out,

“Jiu Jiu.”

She wasn’t here. She went out not long after you left, and hasn’t returned yet. (End of Chapter)
