Beast Taming Starts from Zero

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter spread out its paws and let out a helpless cry, indicating that you've been sleeping all day.

"Tingting?"

Tingbao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at his beast tamer.

Qiao Sang nodded: "This is already the second day."

"Tingting?"

Tingbao looked incredulous and exclaimed.

Why did it sleep for so long?
"Searching..."

Little Treasure picked up the skin that had just shed from the sofa, shook it, and barked, indicating that it was because you had shed your skin.

“Tingting…”

Tingbao looked at his shed skin and exclaimed, indicating that it took so long to shed skin.

Then, as if remembering something, it cried out again:
"Tingting?"

Does that mean I won't be able to accumulate 200 points today either?
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Xunbao with an apologetic expression.

Little Treasure Hunter: "???"

Little Treasure Hunter had a bad feeling.

The next second, the premonition came true.

"Tingting".

Tingbao called out apologetically.

Looks like I'll have to trouble you to train a bit more today, boss.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter quickly raised its paw, adopted a waiting posture, and barked, indicating that it would go out to find an opponent to compete with now. In fact, there was still time to accumulate 200 points.

"Tingting".

Tingbao gave a "Really?" look and exclaimed.

Then hurry up and go.

"Searching".

Little Treasure Hunter called out, indicating that he was leaving, and then his eyes glowed blue.

"Wait a minute," Qiao Sang stopped him.

Little Treasure and Tingbao looked over.

“Tingbao has just shed its skin and needs to adapt first before it can fight,” Qiao Sang said. “Don’t go to the competition today.”

This is what she just read in a book.

“That’s right,” Michaela agreed from the side. “Any pet needs an adaptation period after shedding its skin. Moreover, the new skin will be in a tender state for a certain period of time, and its defense will be reduced. It will be easier to get injured in battle. Once the adaptation period is over, there will be no problem.”

"Tingting".

Tingbao gave an "I understand" look, then looked at Xiaoxunbao and called out apologetically.

Looks like we can't compete today. Boss, you go to training.

Little Treasure Hunter: "..."

"Ya Ya." Ya Bao called out from the side, indicating that Little Treasure Hunter should come with me, since I also need to go back to training.

After saying that, he walked towards the direction of the open-air training ground.

Qingbao covered her mouth and laughed.

Little Xunbao glared at Qingbao, then turned around with a "I'm so unlucky" expression and followed behind Yabao.

Michaela picked up her phone and said:
"I'll make a call and have Jacqueline come over to check Thunder Dragon's physical data."

Each time a pet sheds its skin, its physical data will change to some extent. Generally, well-funded pet tamers will find a professional breeder to conduct tests and change the formula of the energy pills so that the pet can develop better.

It feels so good not to have to worry about anything... Qiao Sang thought to herself, and said, "Okay."

……

The next day, early morning.

After a quick breakfast, Xiao Xunbao took Tingbao Space to a charging station.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter called out earnestly, "Because of you, Boss, I've been training in my main body for two days now. You absolutely must collect 200 points today."

"Tingting".

Tingbao gave a "no problem" look and called out.

Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter showed a relieved expression, which then turned to worry, and he cried out:
"Search!"

Don't be so reckless as to challenge eight opponents at once!

"Tingting".

Tingbao, already experienced, showed a determined expression and called out in agreement, indicating that he was determined to challenge all eight opponents.

The surrounding electric-type pets all looked over, some sneering, some giving cold looks, and some trying to recharge. Finally, one electric-type pet showed interest, but then another electric-type pet leaned in and said something. The pet that was initially interested instantly lost interest and quickly left.

Little Treasure and Tingbao performed for a long time, but not a single electric-type pet showed any desire to battle.

"Tingting?"

Tingbao looked puzzled and barked, indicating that they were no longer challenging me to a battle.

"Searching".

"Searching".

Little Treasure Hunter pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and with a look of sudden enlightenment, he rattled off the news he had seen yesterday.

Tingbao gave him an "Oh, I see" look, then exclaimed worriedly:
"Tingting".

What if you can't find an opponent?

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter grinned and called out.

How could there be no opponents? Electric-types don't want to battle, and there are Bug-types too.

After saying that, his eyes glowed blue, and he left the spot with Tingbao.

A lush meadow, teeming with various insect-type pets.

Little Treasure Hunter and Tingbao appeared out of nowhere.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure winked at Tingbao in the direction of the insect-type pet.

"Tingting!"

Tingbao understood immediately, stepped forward, and shouted.

Some of the insect-type pets were startled and scattered, while others crawled or flew over with unfriendly expressions.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure sidled up to Tingbao and whispered a name.

These are people with low IQs.

"Tingting".

Tingbao called out to indicate that he understood, then stepped forward and showed his points recorder.

The insect-type pets looked at each other, and then many of them, wearing score recorders, stepped forward.

……

at the same time.

Villa, living room.

Qiao Sang walked in wearily, saying:
"Could you ask Feng to double-check whether the solar crystal is real or fake before sending a message?"

At first, when we first asked the wind to find the sun crystal, it was once a day. Later, it was once every half day, then once every few hours, and now it is several times an hour.

If even one of them were genuine, that would be fine, but none of them are genuine.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao barked once, indicating that it wanted to communicate with Feng.

As he spoke, he closed his eyes.

It rose on its own even when there was no wind around.

"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao barked once, indicating that it was going to train first and that it should be called again when it was time to go out.

With that, he ran toward the open-air training ground.

Qiao Sang sat down on the sofa in the living room.

The Dragon King was lying on his side on the sofa, watching TV.

Qiao Sang glanced at it; it was the news channel. She couldn't help but ask:

"I feel like you're watching the news channel all the time."

"Grind."

While watching TV, the Dragon King shouted that what was being shown on TV was mostly matches between noobs, which was not interesting and that watching the news was better.

"Steel Chieftain".

Steel Treasure translated in his mind. The Dragon King was already at the Emperor level, and battles between pets of lower levels were probably meaningless to him. Battles between Beastmasters with Emperor-level pets were major competitions that required a long preparation period and were not common. It was normal that there were no battles of this level on TV for a long time... Qiao Sang felt that he could understand, and he also started watching the news.

After watching for a while, the Dragon King changed the channel.

On television, the host, sitting on a sofa, conducted an interview:
"How have you managed to maintain the top spot in the standings since the start of the competition?"

It was about two meters tall, with a dark brown body, white from its chin to its belly, white single-toed claws, and three-toed feet. The dragon-type pet, with wings growing from its forearms, curled its lips and let out a cry:
"Tutu."

The subtitle below translates to: Relying on strength.

The Earth Dragon is a mid-level pet with both Ground and Dragon attributes. It likes to burrow underground to hide itself and rarely appears in front of people. It has a good relationship with Bug-type pets that often burrow into the ground, supposedly because those Bug-type pets bring it food. If you want to find the Earth Dragon, go to the lair of those Bug-type pets that like to burrow into the ground, and you will most likely encounter it... Qiao Sang recalled the information about this Dragon-type pet in his mind.

The host asked, "So far in the competition, have you encountered any opponents that you found particularly challenging?"

"Tutu?"

The brown dragon-type pet let out a cry.

Subtitle Translation: What does "tricky" mean?

"They're a tough opponent to beat," the host said.

"Tutu."

The brown dragon-type pet smiled and let out a cry.

Subtitle translation: There will never be such an opponent.

"You seem very confident," the host asked. "Do you think you can maintain your number one ranking until the end of the Pet Free Points Battle Tournament?"

A free-for-all pet battle tournament? Qiao Sang was taken aback.

This Teratomon participated in the Pet Free Points Battle Tournament? And it was consistently ranked first in points?

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang couldn't help but stare at the Earth Dragon on the TV for a closer look.

I wonder if Tingbao will ever have the chance to meet it again...

The Dragon King had obviously thought of this as well, and watched with great interest without changing the channel.

"Tutu."

The Garuda roared confidently.

Subtitle translation: Of course, as long as I don't give up the competition halfway through, I will remain in first place until the end of the competition.

"So confident..." Qiao Sang thought to herself as she looked at the subtitles.

……

the other side.

on the grass.

All the insect-type pets in the battle were stunned.

The pet wearing the referee's badge blew the whistle to signal the end of the match.

The barrier disappears.

A virtual panel appeared out of thin air above Tingbao, and the points on it increased by 8.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter barked excitedly, then realized there were a bunch of insect-type pets around, and its expression instantly turned to worry. It barked again:
"Search!"

Don't find so many opponents to compete against again!

"Tingting".

Tingbao was very perceptive. He called out, indicating that his mind was made up and that his boss shouldn't try to persuade him.

After saying that, it barked defiantly at the insect-type pets in front of it:
"Tingting!"

Anyone who wants to compete with me, come at me together.

The surrounding insect-type pets all showed angry expressions, and many of them, who were only wearing score recorders, were about to step forward.

“Dede.”

At this moment, an older insect-type pet let out a cry.

The insect-type pet that was about to step forward immediately held back and stopped moving.

Then, the insect-type pets turned around and disappeared.

"Tingting?"

Looking at the movements of the insect-type pets around him, Tingbao couldn't help but show a puzzled expression. He lowered his voice and called out, indicating why they weren't coming up to fight him.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter, hearing the commotion around him, called out, indicating that they were not in a hurry and that the creatures seemed to be looking for the stronger members of their species to fight.

"Tingting".

Upon hearing this, Tingbao showed an "I see" expression.

Little Treasure Hunter, seeing the insect-type pets around him staring in their direction, started to act out a dissuading act again:
"Search!"

"Tingting".

Tingbao looked at him with a "stop trying to persuade me" expression and played along.

Just as Xiao Xunbao and Tingbao were getting into their act, the insect-type pets around them suddenly moved aside, making way for them.

A pet beast, about two meters tall, with a dark brown body, white from its chin to its abdomen, white single-toed claws, three-toed feet, and wings on its forearms, walked out from among them.

“Dede.”

The older insect-type pet let out a cry.

The pet beast with wings on its forearms listened, glanced at Tingbao, and then let out a soft cry:
"Tutu."

I challenge you.

"Tingting".

Tingbao glanced at it, barked, and said, "Don't rush, I'll wait for seven more."

After saying that, he shouted:
"Tingting!"

There are still seven spots left. Who wants to challenge me?
The beast with wings growing on its forearms had veins bulging on its forehead.

This isn't a bug-type... Little Treasure Hunter took out his pet identification device and pointed it at the pet in front of him.

Before long, a mechanical voice with the same tone rang out:

"Master, you're using me again~ Let me see who you want to identify this time... A Terrestrial Dragon, a mid-level pet with both Dragon and Ground attributes. It has a solitary personality, prefers to stay underground year-round, and will dig a burrow for itself in the ground. It rarely appears in front of people... Master, you're not going to fight it, are you? That's too much of a bullying of a smaller creature..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Xunbao turned off the pet identification device.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunt approached Tingbao, lowered its voice, and called out, indicating that this guy was a dragon-type pet. If you were to fight it, you couldn't challenge eight of them at once, otherwise the chances of losing would be too high.

"Tingting".

Tingbao called out without even thinking.

Then I won't compete against it.

"Tutu."

The Garuda seemed to have overheard the conversation, and with a mocking expression, it barked, as if to say, "You're not going to refuse to compete with me, are you?"

The other person's mocking expression was too obvious, and Tingbao's face darkened.

It realized that this guy looked down on it.

"Tingting".

Tingbao called out.

Who said I was going to reject you?

After saying that, he pressed the points recorder on his claw.

The sixth brother was still too impatient... Little Treasure Hunter sighed, but did not stop him. He floated to the side and gave up the battle arena.

It's just a match; it won't waste much time.

"Tutu."

The Earth Dragon smirked, let out a cry, and pressed the points recorder.

A virtual panel instantly appeared above it:

[Race: Terrestrial Dragon]

[Level: Intermediate]

【Points: 13070】

[Ranking: 1]

Ranked #1? This is number one? Little Treasure Hunter's eyes widened in surprise.

Tingbao didn't pay attention to the rankings; he was just staring at the Garuda in the distance, waiting for the referee to arrive.

“Dede.”

Suddenly, the elderly insect-type pet came out and let out a cry.

Immediately afterwards, an insect-type pet flew over and hung an ID around its neck.

Upon closer inspection, Little Treasure Hunter was astonished to find that it was indeed a referee's certificate. Then, it noticed that the insect-type pet, which looked quite old, was also wearing a referee's bracelet.

“Dede.”

The elderly insect-type pet cried out and pressed the referee's bracelet.

Instantly, a barrier enveloped the surroundings. (End of Chapter)
