Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 78: Chapter 74 Treasure-seeking Ghost

The corridors within the Pet Beast Base were numerous, with several new paths branching off at the end of each one.

They were quite maze-like, making it easy to get lost without someone familiar with the terrain leading the way.

The Qingyue Butterfly was leading the way.

Clearly familiar with the layout here, it almost flew towards one of the paths without any hesitation.

All the while the Qingyue Butterfly kept talking, which was a pity as Qiao Sang couldn’t understand…

But the Fire-Toothed Dog was having a great chat with it.

...

From the Fire-Toothed Dog’s words, Qiao Sang could vaguely guess what the Qingyue Butterfly was talking about.

It was nothing more than “Did you also come from here?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Me too,” and so on.

After turning three corners and passing through two areas, they finally reached the destination the Qingyue Butterfly intended to lead them to—the activity hall.

The interior had a layout similar to a courtyard.

At a glance, there were Pet Beasts of every attribute except for Dragon-type and Fairy Series Pet Beasts.

The Spectral-type Pet Beasts were the least in number, only a few scattered around.

Next was the Fire Attribute Beasts, also just a handful in single digits.

Looking at the whole activity hall, disregarding attributes and just considering species, there had to be dozens of different varieties, if not a hundred.

“Most of our base’s Pet Beasts are here. If you can’t decide which Pet Beast to contract, you can have close contact with them before considering,” a male staff member not far from Qiao Sang was saying to three young people, “Most of the Pet Beasts that appear here are of a gentle disposition, so you can be assured.”

Qiao Sang had sharp ears and overheard the conversation.

She thought that Yaobao probably hadn’t appeared here before…

Sure enough, there was excitement and curiosity filling the eyes of the Fire-Toothed Dog in her arms.

If it wasn’t for its Beast Tamer still holding it, it would have likely dashed into the fray by now.

“But there are still some things that need special attention. Don’t take a picture of that Flame Sparrow when it’s not on guard, and there is the only Fire-Toothed Dog in the hall—it just had a breakup and isn’t interested in anything. We brought it here to cheer it up; you’ll be fine as long as you don’t flaunt your affection in front of it,” the male staff member continued.

Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment.

Looking around, she indeed spotted a Fire-Toothed Dog meditating under a landscape stone.

This couldn’t be one of the ones that had fought over a female Fire-Toothed Dog out of jealousy…

And what about the other one?

Could it be it already won its beauty and returned?

Just as Qiao Sang was about to draw closer to listen carefully, the Qingyue Butterfly timely flew in front of Qiao Sang.

It always remembered its Beast Tamer’s words.

It needed to provide good customer service and not let the customer feel neglected.

The Qingyue Butterfly enthusiastically introduced her to the place.

“Yue Yue.”

“Yue Yue, Yue, Yue Yue.”

“Yue.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

The words of the male staff member were already not very clear, and Qiao Sang didn’t stay put, holding the Fire-Toothed Dog as she walked into the area where Pet Beasts were active.

She hadn’t walked two steps when a mostly green Pet Beast blocked her path.

Qiao Sang recognized it as a Grass-type Pet Beast, Huangbaohua child.

Its distinguishing feature was the yellow bud on top of its head that had yet to bloom.

If the flower on its head ever bloomed, that would mark the day it was to evolve.

It held a small yellow flower of the same color in its hand, offering it to her with a bashful appearance.

Qiao Sang’s pupils shook.

Fuck! Why does this scene seem so familiar!

In Qiao Sang’s bewildered moment, the Qingyue Butterfly dutifully took over the role of explaining what the Huangbaohua child wanted to convey.

“Yue.”

“Yue Yue, Yue.”

“Yue.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Yaobao, translate,” Qiao Sang said.

The Fire-Toothed Dog began to translate dutifully.

“Ya Ya.”

“Ya.”

“Ya.”

Qiao Sang calmed down.

It just wanted to be her Pet Beast, and she had thought…

When she understood the meaning of the Huang Bao flower’s child, Qiao Sang felt a bit heartbroken.

What a good Pet Beast.

It had a good appearance, good judgment, and a good attribute.

Too bad she didn’t have the money…

The Bai Xinsai’s voucher was for Pet Beast Eggs and couldn’t be exchanged for a Pet Beast that was already born.

Even if her endorsement fee came through, it would be useless; the price range for a Huang Bao flower was around 500,000.

She certainly couldn’t go bankrupt by spending all her prize money and endorsement fee on it.

“I’m sorry,” Qiao Sang said as she crouched down and painfully rejected it.

“Bao~” The Huang Bao flower child shook its head with a smile, looking unconcerned.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang felt even more heartbroken.

Such a good temperament…

Should she call Song Yuan and ask her to provide the endorsement fee in advance…

After all, the Huang Bao flower child met all her expectations.

Contracting a Pet Beast would certainly be best if it was a mutual choice.

But the money…

As Qiao Sang was struggling internally and unable to make a decision, the Huang Bao flower child turned its head and walked over to another young man who had just come in.

“Bao~”

The same little yellow flower, the same shyness.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She had indeed invested her feelings in the wrong place.

Most of the Pet Beasts here were gentle by nature and not afraid of strangers. After interacting a few times, Qiao Sang’s mood grew increasingly joyful.

Just as she was about to check out a little Fire Owl not far away, the Fire-Toothed Dog beside her suddenly stopped in its tracks, its body stiff as it stared at a tree.

Qiao Sang looked in the direction it was facing.

A yellow and grey Pet Beast was hanging upside down from a tree branch. It had no wings, no legs, yet its bottom clung firmly to the tree branch. @@novelbin@@

Its head was encircled by a yellow ring, and both of its eyes were yellow, with grey pupils the size of beans.

Feeling the intensity of her gaze, it looked over.

It curled a corner of its mouth and squinted its eyes, revealing a face full of a mischievous smile.

Qiao Sang quickly picked up the Fire-Toothed Dog and turned to walk in another direction.

Mama mia!

Why was there a Treasure-seeking Ghost here!

The Treasure-seeking Ghost was not only a bizarre Spectral-type Pet but also a troublesome existence even within the Spectral Series Pet Beasts.

It liked to search for treasures, but what it sought weren’t the gold and silver treasures in the eyes of humans, but things it found novel and liked itself.

Anything that interested it, it would find a way to pocket.

The yellow ring on its head wasn’t just for show; it was specially designed to store things.

That ring was like another space; once it put something in the ring, the item could never come out unless it itself took it out.

It sounded quite useful, and some unscrupulous people would indeed try to specifically contract with a Treasure-seeking Ghost.

But the Treasure-seeking Ghost had an extremely vexing trait—it only stored things it was interested in.

If the items a contracted Treasure-seeking Ghost liked were normal, it would be okay. But if they were not, it could truly lead one to bear a lifetime of infamy.

Once, a man was reported by a neighbor for theft.

To prove his innocence, the man didn’t resist when the police came to search his place.

When they found out he owned a Treasure-seeking Ghost, the police asked him to summon it.

Thinking himself innocent, he didn’t hesitate to let the Treasure-seeking Ghost take out everything from its ring.

As a result, the Treasure-seeking Ghost pulled out several pieces of women’s underwear from the ring.

This led to the man trying to explain himself for a long time, and even after it was verified that he was framed, he couldn’t lift his head in that community again.

Qiao Sang quickly turned and walked away, fearing she had something on her that would interest the Treasure-seeking Ghost.

But before she had taken two steps, the Treasure-seeking Ghost floated up in front of her with its body airborne.

Qiao Sang stopped abruptly in her tracks.

That was close, almost bumped faces…

The Treasure-seeking Ghost had a mischievous smile as it took off the ring from its head and pulled out a grey egg with a yellow ring.
