Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1573

Chapter 1573. Chapter 1567 The Statue (Two Chapters Combined)

Qiao Sang: “!”

What? You actually know another method? Qiao Sang perked up and quickly asked,

“What method?”

Little Treasure Float over, looking like it was listening intently.

“Xiao Yu.”

Xiao Yu Lai Shi called out, indicating that first you need a statue.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “A statue?”

“Xiao Yu.”

Xiao Yu Lai Shi nodded and called out, indicating that then you need to learn the mental link, leaving a trace of mental energy in the statue. Then, the emotions that humans and pets express when facing the statue will be sensed.

Statue, expression, sensing… Isn’t this the power of faith? Qiao Sang remembered what Teacher Michaela had said about the Sky Bird Kingdom. In that country, the supreme ruler, the Sky-Looking Bird, used statues in various places to allow people to transmit the power of faith to it through prayer and other means. Teacher Michaela had said that

Little Treasure’s current absorption of white energy was very similar to the Sky-Looking Bird’s absorption of the power of faith.

But one is the power of faith, and the other is the emotional energy of genuine affection—can they be the same?

Besides, Little Treasure Hunter isn’t a guardian beast, and it doesn’t grant wishes or anything. What place would want to put a statue of Little Treasure Hunter there

? “Xunxun?”

Just as Qiao Sang frowned in thought, Little Treasure Hunter called out curiously, indicating how big the statue needed to be.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Goodness, it’s already considered the size of the statue?

“Xiaoyu.”

Xiaoyu Lai Shi called out, indicating that it wasn’t sure about that. There shouldn’t be any special regulations, but its statue was over twenty meters tall.

As it spoke, it raised its paw and gestured.

Qiao Sang vaguely remembered this. The day before yesterday, on her way to find alien beasts, she had seen a statue of Xiaoyu Lai Shi in front of a giant building, which was indeed over twenty meters tall.

As long as it’s a country’s guardian beast, even if it doesn’t need to absorb any power of faith, there will basically be a corresponding statue in that country.

The twenty-meter-tall Little Treasure imagined the majestic appearance of its twenty-meter-tall statue in its mind, its eyes lighting up instantly. It excitedly called out to its Beastmaster,

“Xunxun~”

“Xunxun~”

It wanted a statue! It wanted a statue!

Before Qiao Sang could speak, Qingbao called out leisurely from the side,

“Qingqing.”

Even if you had a statue, it couldn’t be that big, otherwise no one would recognize you.

As it spoke, it looked Little Treasure up and down.

Little Treasure: “.”

“Xunxun!”

Little Treasure pointed at Xiao Yulai and called out in dissatisfaction, indicating that it wasn’t that big either.

“Tingting.”

Tingbao suddenly called out from the side.

It was wearing a miniature shrinking bracelet.

Little Treasure suddenly turned its head to look at Xiao Yulai’s paws, and sure enough, it saw the miniature shrinking bracelet. Its expression instantly froze.

“Qingqing! Qingqing!”

Qingbao burst into laughter, clutching its stomach.

At the same time, a pleasant breeze blew around it.

Just as Xiao Xunbao and the others were talking, Qiao Sang said, “I’ve heard of this way of absorbing energy, but it seems to absorb the power of faith. Can it also sense and absorb energy like emotions?” “

Xiao Yu,”

Xiao Yu Lai Shi nodded and called out.

It had sensed and absorbed a lot of emotional energy through statues.

Since Xiao Yu Lai Shi said so, perhaps this method really works. However, Xiao Xunbao is neither a guardian beast nor a leader’s beast of a country. It can’t help others fulfill their wishes, nor has it made any outstanding contributions to a country. What place would allow it to place statues anywhere? Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said,

“I understand, thank you.”

“Xiao Yu,”

Xiao Yu Lai Shi called out somewhat awkwardly.

Thank you too.

Qiao Sang was taken aback, then quickly understood and smiled, “Actually, even without me, I believe your bond would have helped you understand soon enough.”

She then couldn’t help but ask,

“May I ask why you said Xiao Yulai wasn’t there?”

The old woman glanced at Xiao Yulai, her expression embarrassed, and said, “It was Xiao Yulai who didn’t want to see strangers and pets, so she told me to say that.”

“Xiao Yulai,”

Xiao Yulai nodded frankly, indicating that it was its intention.

“No,” Qiao Sang explained, “I wanted to ask, Xiao Yulai is the guardian pet of Xiao Kingdom. If it didn’t want to see people, it could have just said so. And why did you pretend not to know it before?”

She remembered the old woman saying that she had grown up with Xiao Yulai.

Before, she definitely wouldn’t have asked such a question, but now that their relationship had clearly improved, she couldn’t help but voice her doubts.

The old woman paused for two seconds, then said,

“Because I don’t want to be disturbed. I’m an orphan, and Ah Xiao found me. Because of Ah Xiao, people often came to me seeking help. I don’t want to cause Ah Xiao any trouble, so I think it’s better to pretend we don’t know each other.”

“Xiao Yu,”

Xiao Yu Lai Shi called out immediately, indicating that if humans discovered it was here, everyone would quickly know about this place, and Lisa would definitely be disturbed. It didn’t want that.

The old woman looked at it, a touched expression on her face.

So that’s how it is. Qiao Sang felt a slight pang of emotion and smiled, “I understand. Thank you for your explanation. I should go now.”

This time, she didn’t let Xiao Xun Bao teleport directly.

The old woman and Xiao Yu Lai Shi saw her and Ya Bao to the door and waved goodbye.

A light rain fell.

Qiao Sang, shielding her head from the barrier Xiao Xun Bao had created, turned to look towards the house.

The old woman’s figure and Xiao Yu Lai Shi’s figure stood side by side, a harmonious sight.

Actually, even if you’re not a beast tamer and have no vested interests, ordinary people and their pets can get along quite harmoniously.

Qiao Sang waved towards the house and turned to leave.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao, watching the rain falling from the sky, grew impatient and cried out in confusion, as if asking why not just let Little Treasure Hunt teleport back?

“Xun Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunt raised its paw and cried out, indicating it was ready to move at any moment.

Qiao Sang stretched her hand out from behind the barrier, saying,

“Let me feel it first.”

The cool drizzle fell into her palm, washing away all her worries and bringing her joy.

“Ya Ya.”

Seeing this, Ya Bao mimicked its Beast Tamer, extending its paw.

Soon, its eyes lit up, revealing a joyful expression, and it cried out,

“Ya Ya!”

“Xia Xia.”

Xia Bao also extended its paw.

Two seconds later, its eyes curved, and the flower bud on its neck swayed unconsciously.

A fragrance, like that of nature, wafted out.

Lu Bao’s head popped out of the backpack.

Steel Treasure silently stretched out its wings beyond the barrier.

Thunder Treasure flicked its tail beyond the barrier, raindrops falling on it, and its eyes lit up.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao first stretched out its paw to feel the rain, then its eyes suddenly lit up, and it transformed into wind, floating happily in the rain.

9:30 PM.

Hotel, penthouse suite.

Michaela and Penjami appeared out of thin air.

Qiao Sang, who was meditating on the sofa, heard the noise, opened his eyes, and said,

“Teacher, you’re back.”

Michaela hummed in agreement and smiled,

“Today it finally rained without any negative energy, so the Object-Knowing Monster was in a good mood and willing to work longer hours, which is why it came back a little late today.”

In a good mood and willing to work overtime? Isn’t that what they say on the news? Qiao Sang turned to look at the Object-Knowing Monster with some surprise.

She had thought the news reports about employees willing to work overtime were just saying that because their bosses were around. Turns out, there really were people and pets who, after being caught in the rain, were in such a good mood that they volunteered to work overtime.

“Shishi,”

the Observer nodded without changing its expression, meowing in agreement.

Actually, it was just in a good mood and wanted to explore the country more, but it could only use work as an excuse; of course, it couldn’t say that aloud.

Michaela sat down on the single sofa and continued,

“Today I’ve searched the rest of Laughing Kingdom with the Observer. There’s no trace of any alien pets. We’ll leave tomorrow.”

Then, as if remembering something, she asked,

“Do you want to go look for Xiao Yulai first?”

“I already looked for her today,” Josang said.

“You looked for her?” Michaela looked over.

Josang said, “This afternoon, I went to look for Xiao Yulai.”

She recounted in detail what had happened that afternoon and the content of their conversation.

Michaela suddenly realized,

“No wonder the energy of the rain suddenly changed during its descent today. It was because of you.”

“It’s because your emotions suddenly shifted when you laughed at Yu Lai. The excitement was so intense that it overwhelmed the energy generated by the original negative emotions.” After correcting him, Qiao Sang thought of something and asked,

“Do you think there’s anywhere we can put a statue of Little Treasure Hunter?”

“Xunxun~”

A statue? Upon hearing these two words, Little Treasure Hunter instantly put down his phone and teleported over with an expectant look.

“I only know that statues are used to absorb the power of faith. This is the first time I’ve heard of absorbing and sensing emotional energy.” Michaela pondered for a moment and said,

“It’s probably impossible for Little Treasure Hunter to have a statue built in a city like a guardian beast.”

“Xunxun?”

Little Treasure Hunter became a little anxious upon hearing this and called out, indicating why.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao looked at it with a “Does this even need to be said?” expression and called out, indicating that it was because Little Treasure Hunter wasn’t a guardian beast.

Little Treasure Hunter: “…”

Michaela continued, “But we can try making a small doll and giving it to someone who likes Little Treasure Hunter, and see if that works.”

Josang was taken aback: “A doll?”

“Xunxun?”

Little Treasure Hunter looked curious.

“That’s right.” Michaela pondered, “Whether it’s a statue or not isn’t important. What’s important is using the statue as a medium to leave a trace of spiritual energy within it to sense the outside world. If Little Treasure Hunter can really sense and absorb it, using a doll as a medium is the same.”

After all, there are many dolls made in the shape of pet beasts on the market. Little Treasure Hunter’s fans might not specifically make or buy statues, but they might still buy dolls.

Josang nodded and said, “I understand. I’ll contact the manufacturer and make a batch of Little Treasure Hunter dolls.”

“Xunxun.”

Little Treasure Hunter imagined the image of its more than twenty-meter-tall statue in its mind, and then imagined what its doll would look like, and sighed heavily in its heart.

“This is way too bad.”

Just then, it heard its Beastmaster’s voice: “Little Xunbao, strike a pose, I’ll take a picture so the manufacturer can copy it.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao immediately snapped out of its reverie, grinned, and raised a short toe on each paw, striking a pose for the photo.

“Click!” Qiao Sang captured the moment and took the picture.

Michaela said,

“Let’s do a little bit first. We’re just testing whether Little Xunbao can sense and absorb emotional energy from it.”

“I understand,” Qiao Sang said.

“Tingting.”

At this moment, Tingbao called out.

But it remembered that the pet beast had said that to sense through the statue, one had to learn mental linking and leave a trace of mental energy inside. Boss probably didn’t know mental linking yet.

Little Xunbao: “!!!”

Tingbao’s memory and intelligence are really good. Qiao Sang turned to look at Tingbao, her face full of emotion.

“What did Tingbao say?” Michaela asked.

“It said…” Qiao Sang translated Tingbao’s words simply, “It’s alright, Little Xunbao is smart, it should be able to learn the Mental Link with some time.”

Mental Link is a high-level superpower skill that allows one to attach their mental energy to another creature or object, establishing a mental connection. If the connection is successful, depending on the level of proficiency, it can conduct long-distance telepathic communication, share senses, and transmit memories and emotions, somewhat similar to the effect of a bond.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out confidently after hearing its Beastmaster’s words, indicating that it could certainly learn it.

Tingbao didn’t say anything more. In its opinion, its boss was very smart and should be able to learn any skill related to its own attributes.

Michaela smiled and said, “Meimei happens to know the Mental Link skill, so let Meimei teach it.”

“Penpen.”

Penjiamei nodded readily.

In its opinion, teaching Little Xunbao a skill was a good idea, and it would also prove that its Beastmaster was still worth teaching.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao grinned at Penjiamei.

“I’d be happy to help with the teaching,” Qiao Sang readily agreed, smiling, “Then I   ’ll trouble you, Mei Mei.”

Then, remembering something else, she asked,

“Where are we going next?” “I’ve talked to you about this country before,” Michaela said. ”   Said about it?” Qiao Sang paused, then quickly recalled, and immediately had an answer:   ”The Heavenly Bird Kingdom?”   Xiao Yu Lai’s country was small, surrounded by many countries, and the Heavenly Bird Kingdom was one of them. Teacher Michaela hadn’t mentioned any of the other countries, only the Heavenly Bird Kingdom.   ”That’s right,” Michaela nodded slightly. “The absorption of faith power is somewhat similar to the method of sensing and absorbing emotional energy that Xiao Yu Lai mentioned. Perhaps in the past, we could find the answer to whether Little Treasure Hunter could absorb emotional energy using this method more quickly.”   Qiao Sang hesitated, “What about the dolls?”   She remembered that the Heavenly Bird Kingdom was a country managed by pets, and she didn’t know if there were any manufacturers specializing in dolls.   ”We’ll find a manufacturer in the Heavenly Bird Kingdom to make them,” Michaela understood what she was thinking, saying, “Although it’s a country managed by pets, there are quite a few humans living there, and it has all the necessary manufacturing industries.” (End of Chapter)
