Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 127: 122 Thank You, Vice Principal!



Chapter 127: Chapter 122 Thank You, Vice Principal!

Vice Principal’s office.

Qiao Sang kneeled on the floor, pale-faced, her hands bracing against the ground, trying to calm her emotions and struggling to control the urge to burst into a fit of swearing.

Impulsiveness is not good, impulsiveness is the devil.

It was just an unexpected spatial movement without prior warning, and this was the fifth time already. Discounting the third time when I went to the Jin Entertainment Building and was prepared, it was actually just four times.

The problem was not big.

Qiao Sang stood up and lifted her head, a polite and gentle smile appearing on her face.

...

“Vice Principal, were you looking for me?”

Liu Yao did not speak. He was focusing intently on the pet beast in front of him that he had never seen before.

The fur was soft and gorgeous, with red stripes indicative of the cat family pet beasts.

From many angles, it looked more like a tiger-type pet beast or a lion-type pet beast, with a long fluffy tail and red eyes, the characteristic sharp teeth significantly smaller in proportion compared to when it was a Fire-Toothed Dog.

The sharp teeth of the Fire-Toothed Dog were milky white, and now in this form, the teeth were a cold white tone, shorter yet appearing even more lethal.

Why did it evolve into a new form, and what were the conditions?

“Vice Principal, Vice Principal,” Qiao Sang called out twice in succession.

Liu Yao finally looked up, his gaze complicated as he looked at the youthful face before him.

He thought that a child who had just become a Beast Tamer for over a month, being able to contract two pet beasts — one of which exceeded the conventional energy level range in the beginner stage in about three months, was already the second most talented youth he knew of.

He didn’t expect her to have evolved the Fire-Toothed Dog into another entirely new branch, which by that alone meant she was incomparable to the talents of her time.

“I didn’t believe it when Mr. Qin told me, I didn’t expect it to be true,” Liu Yao chuckled softly.

Mr. Qin?

Qiao Sang was startled, then suddenly remembered that the energy value incident last time was also mentioned by Mr. Qin — the speed at which Mr. Qin relayed messages seemed to be on par with her mother’s…

“Let’s sit down and talk,” Liu Yao said, not taking the vice principal’s exclusive leather chair but sitting on the sofa for receiving guests instead.

Qiao Sang sat down opposite him.

“Lao Xian, make tea,” Liu Yao said to the Sky Manifest Bat.

“Xian.”

The Sky Manifest Bat flapped its wings, a blue light shimmering on its body.

Cups, teapot, and tea leaves rose into the air in synchrony, showing that this was not its first time performing the task given the practiced movements.

Qiao Sang’s eyes brightened, her mind starting to dream up the beautiful future when Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao would master telekinesis.

“Do you know why the Fire-Toothed Dog evolved into a new form?” Liu Yao’s words brought Qiao Sang back to reality.

Qiao Sang shook her head.

When Yaobao evolved into a Flame Listening Dog, she herself was completely bewildered.

“Then, what do you think caused your Fire-Toothed Dog to evolve into a new form?” Liu Yao continued to ask.

“Is it because of the energy value?” Qiao Sang speculated after thinking for a moment.

“That might be part of the reason, but it’s not all of it. Our Yuhua Region’s research institute has tried to breed various pet beasts to exceed conventional energy values before letting them evolve.”

“Although not all pet beasts have been successfully bred, the Fire-Toothed Dog is one of them. If merely exceeding the conventional energy value were the condition, it would evolve into the Blazehound,” Liu Yao explained patiently.

Qiao Sang nodded.

Sometimes the evolution of pet beasts doesn’t depend on just one condition, like the Silver Tail Sea Snake she encountered before that had to be in the sea and ingest a poison dewdrop simultaneously.

“Xian.”

At this moment, the Sky Manifest Bat finished brewing the tea, a total of five cups.

Four of the cups floated towards the guest table under the control of telekinesis, obviously, two of them were prepared for Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao, and one was for the bat itself.

The Sky Manifest Bat held a cup like an old scholar, savoring it slowly.

Qiao Sang looked on with wonder. So, pet beasts like to drink tea too…

“Yaobao.”

Yaobao approached and sniffed the tea in the cup, but quickly lost interest and returned to sit beside its own beast tamer.

“Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao also floated over and lowered its head to take a sniff.

Though it felt that it couldn’t compare to milk, it was still curious enough to stick out its tongue and take a lick.

“Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao’s expression froze, and it immediately retracted its tongue and floated back to its own beast tamer’s head.

So bitter, so hard to drink…

Qiao Sang stifled the urge to laugh, and as she did, a thought suddenly occurred to her, “Could it have something to do with intimacy?”

It is possible that when a pet beast’s relationship with its beast tamer reaches a certain level of rapport and intimacy, it might trigger an evolution in the pet beast that differs from regular evolution.

Liu Yao was taken aback, Intimacy? How long have you been contracted that the intimacy level has reached such a degree?

However… Qiao Sang’s talent should not be judged by ordinary standards. Given her, it might not be impossible…

“Research institutes have basically conducted research on all pet beasts regarding intimacy. Fire-Toothed Dogs cannot evolve through intimacy,” Liu Yao shook his head.

“What if the energy value exceeds and the intimacy is also reached?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Although these two requirements are seldom met, it’s not like no one has ever achieved them after so many years of social development. Think again, what else about your Fire-Toothed Dog is different from others?” Liu Yao said, sipping his tea.

Qiao Sang also took a sip of her tea, “Vice principal, I’m just a student. Even my first year of high school hasn’t started yet. The matter of how the Fire-Toothed Dog evolves into a new form should be left to professional researchers.”

Liu Yao put down his cup and cleared his throat, “I am a researcher, a senior one at that.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

The vice principal’s identity is so cool, both an A-level breeder and a senior researcher. Compared to that, the title of vice principal of Shengshui Middle School seems so useless…

“As the beast tamer who first bred a Fire-Toothed Dog into a new form, I hope you can cooperate with the research institute,” Liu Yao continued, “Of course, there are benefits to this.”

Qiao Sang’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Liu Yao said earnestly, “I can apply for you to become a junior researcher. If you want to pursue a career as a researcher in the future, this would be an excellent foundation.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

She naturally knew what it meant to be a researcher; researchers have a high status, only need to complete their research tasks, produce research results, and don’t have to consider other matters.

Once a research project is approved, a significant amount of research funding is provided, all required resources are allocated, and protection can be requested to enter some secret realms.

But.

It would be such a waste of time.

She hadn’t even started her first year of high school, hadn’t begun to catch up on the theoretical knowledge she was missing, and had already missed one day of yesterday’s training. If she participated in the research on the Fire-Toothed Dog’s evolution, she feared she wouldn’t have much time for future training sessions.

Besides, Xiao Xunbao was about to turn one month old and needed a training plan to be established, and Yaobao had just evolved to the middle stage. There was a mountain of things waiting for her to do.

Becoming a junior researcher would undoubtedly be a fantastic opportunity if she wanted to be a researcher in the future. But all she wanted was to earn money, nurture her pet beasts, attend a good university, and become a professional beast tamer.

If she didn’t want to be a researcher, then aside from having a high-sounding title, this opportunity wouldn’t be much use to her.

Qiao Sang organized her thoughts internally and was just about to politely decline when Liu Yao spoke up, “I remember you mentioned wanting to live off-campus. If you participate in the research, I will agree to that.”

Qiao Sang: “!”

Liu Yao continued, “And the matter with the mobile phone, I can approve that too, you just can’t take it out during class.”

Qiao Sang: “!!”

“I forgot to mention, junior researchers get paid, 100,000 a month.”

Qiao Sang leapt to her feet, “Thank you, vice principal, for giving me this opportunity!”
