Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Qiao Sang: "???"

Qingbao quickly floated away from Little Treasure Hunter.

Little Treasure Hunt blinked its innocent eyes as it ate the Cursed Crystal.

Calm down, calm down. Little Treasure Hunter will have to eat the Cursed Crystal sooner or later anyway. It's bound to happen eventually. Even if it can't control itself and casts the curse, there's always Tooth Treasure by its side... Qiao Sang comforted herself and asked, "How long will this situation last?"

"That depends on just how strong the curse power of the ghost-type pet that condensed this curse crystal is," Michaela replied.

That means I don't know... Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure Hunter and earnestly advised him:
“If you really can’t control the power of the curse and have cursed us, you must tell us.”

The curse of the Little Treasure Hunt is a curse of bad luck. If you are accidentally cursed, you will definitely be unlucky for a long time. I need to hurry up and complete the task assessment. I can't make any mistakes at this crucial point.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure swallowed the curse crystal, patted its chest confidently, and shouted that it could control the power of the curse and would never curse you.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao looked at him with an expression that said, "I don't believe it."

"How do you feel inside your body right now?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Search!"

Little Treasure felt it for a moment, then suddenly clutched his chest, revealing a pained expression.

I've never heard of anyone experiencing pain from using the Cursed Crystal... Upon seeing this, Michael's expression turned serious.

Qiao Sang was startled and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hyotei".

Lu Bao poked her head out of the backpack, stared at Little Treasure Hunter, and began to circulate her energy.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao's eyes revealed a hint of worry.

Hearing the noises on his body, Ya Bao slowed down his flight.

Just then, Xiao Xunbao's pained expression disappeared, and he looked at Qingbao, letting out a villainous "hehehe" laugh.

"Clear!"

Qingbao was terrified and quickly floated to its beast tamer's side, letting out a cry to indicate that it was cursing it!
"Search!"

"Search!"

Upon seeing this, the villain's expression vanished instantly. He lay on Ya Bao's body, clutching his stomach, rolling around and laughing.

so fun!

Your reaction was hilarious!

You can't even tell I'm lying!
"Gis!"

"Gis!"

Infected by the little treasure hunter's laughter, Giss Egg rolled around and laughed along with it.

Qiao Sang: "..."

It seems nothing's wrong... Michaela breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Bao looked speechless. The faint blue light that had just appeared on her forehead disappeared, and she shoved her head back into her backpack.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao realized he had been tricked. Veins bulged on his forehead, his face turned completely dark, and he gritted his teeth and yelled.

At the same time, strong winds were blowing all around.

"Gis!"

The egg was blown up by the wind, and the laughter turned into a scream.

A purple light flashed through the air, and Steel Treasure caught it steadily.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter finally realized he had gone too far with his joke, floated up and quickly cried out to indicate that he was just joking.

Qingbao remained silent.

The surrounding gale continued to sweep towards Little Treasure Hunter.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter shouted as he teleported.

The wind relentlessly pursued them.

Realizing that Little Treasure Hunter was alright, Ya Bao sped up its flight.

High in the sky, a dazzling crimson figure ran, while another small black figure, for some unknown reason, shouted and teleported around beside it.

This scene attracted the curious gazes of passing flying pets and people. Some people found it novel and took out their phones to take pictures while sitting on flying pets. But as soon as they took out their phones, the dazzling red and the shouting black figure had disappeared.

After half an hour.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure lay on Tooth Treasure's body, panting, and cried out, indicating that he had made a mistake.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao snorted coldly.

At the same time, the raging wind around him disappeared.

“We’ve arrived,” Michaela said.

Qiao Sang looked down, gazing at the dazzling lights of countless homes below.

Occasionally, a few flying-type pets would fly by in the air, all of them wearing or adorned with items or clothing that could emit light.

"It gets dark earlier in this city than in other places," Qiao Sang remarked.

On Yantian Star, the days are longer than the nights. It's usually still light around 7 or 8 pm, but here it's already completely dark by almost 7 pm.

"It's said that this is because there are generally more Ghost-type pets here than in other countries," Michaela said.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up: "That's great! This way we'll have more helpers to find Hidden Shadow Grass."

Michaela glanced at her: "Don't forget what I said earlier."

“I know,” Qiao Sang replied. “I will try my best to find a higher-level Ghost-type pet to help with the search.”

Pets of higher levels tend to have better self-control than those of lower levels.

“Instead of looking at the level, it’s better to look at the habits and characteristics of the species,” Michaela said. “For example, there is a ghost-type pet called Adamant. It is stubborn, but it will definitely do what it promises if it does something.”

"I understand." Qiao Sang immediately realized something and asked, "Why are there so many more Ghost-type pets here than elsewhere?"

Pets generally live in their own comfortable places. Ghost-type pets like to appear when the yin energy is heavy or at night. Logically speaking, this should be because the nights are long here, so there are many ghost-type pets.

What Teacher Michaela just said is that there are many Ghost-type Pokémon here, so the nights are long, which makes the sequence of events a bit strange.

“The Kingdom of Jia on Yantian Star once produced a Beastmaster who won third place in the Interstellar Cup. Her signature pet was a Ghost-type,” Michaela said. “Since then, Ghost-type pets have been very popular in the Kingdom of Jia.”

"In order to make the Ghost-type pets more comfortable, Jia Guo often uses weather-related skills to make the night come earlier."

So that's how it is... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Search?"

Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter perked up immediately and barked, indicating that there was such a benefit for just getting third place in the Star Cup?
“This is the third place in the Interstellar Cup.” Qiao Sang said with a smile, “If a country has a Beastmaster who can be selected to participate in the Interstellar Cup, the whole country will definitely watch it even if they don’t go to work. If they can get a good ranking in the Interstellar Cup, it’s not impossible for the whole country to take a few days off.”

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter's eyes lit up more and more as he listened.

Soon, Ya Bao arrived above a five-star hotel.

Since traveling with Sharara, Michaela has never disappointed in terms of accommodation.

As soon as the two and their pets stepped into the hotel, they felt a barrage of gazes directed at them from all the staff and guests in the hotel lobby.

Even in Yantian Star, where pets are everywhere, a royal-level pet is a big shot. Everyone had seen how Ya Bao descended from the sky.

With that size and that aura, it was undoubtedly a royal-level pet beast.

When checking in, the front desk staff were extremely respectful, as if afraid of making the slightest mistake.

Led by staff, the two and their pets walked through the lobby, took the elevator up, and went straight to the presidential suite.

"Please feel free to let us know if you need anything." The staff member said respectfully, "Around two or three o'clock in the morning, ghost-type pets may enter. Please don't panic. They are mostly young animals that have gotten lost. You can take pictures of them. If they disturb your sleep, you can contact us at any time."

Taking a photo… Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow slightly and said:
"I see."

While wild Ghost-type Pokémon may wander in, the situation is somewhat different from that of Super Star. Ghost-type Pokémon are popular in the Kingdom of Jia, and a large portion of the tourists who come here are there to see Ghost-type Pokémon that they don't usually see.

The fact that ghost-type cubs wander into the hotel at night is actually a unique feature of this place. Many people come here specifically to take photos and stay up all night just to capture this scene.

The staff member respectfully withdrew and closed the door behind them.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter removed the ring and took out various everyday items from it.

"Take out the energy detector first," Qiao Sang said.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter let out a cry, then plunged its entire head into the ring, and soon retrieved the energy detector.

"Qingbao, let's test the energy." Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao and said.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao floated over and obediently stayed next to its beast tamer.

"Looking around~"

Xiao Xunbao casually attached the connecting wire from the energy detector to Qingbao's body.

Qingbao cooperated without moving.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang seized the opportunity to enter the Beast Taming Manual and quickly increased Qing Bao's magical brilliance to the level of an ultimate technique.

Of all Qingbao's skills, only Magic Dazzling is closest to the ultimate technique and won't waste too many points.

Then, Qiao Sang added points to Qing Bao's level until he was just one point away from reaching the maximum level.

The most important thing for me right now is to take the A-level professional beast tamer exam. At this time, I need to improve the strength of my pets as quickly as possible.

After Qingbao evolves, it will definitely awaken at least two high-level skills. Then, if it consumes the Demon Fruit, the probability of awakening a super-level skill will be even higher...

Once Qingbao has evolved, Xiaoxunbao's energy will also be tested. If it stabilizes at the mid-King level, then Xiaoxunbao can take the King Energy Potion... Qiao Sang thought to herself as her consciousness returned to reality.

In reality, the energy has been measured, and the data has been displayed on the screen.

Michael stared at the data displayed above, paused for a moment, and muttered to himself, "The upper limit of general level..."

"Qingbao's energy has reached the upper limit of the general level! It can evolve!" Qiao Sang said, feigning surprise as he looked at the data on the display screen.

"Clear!"

Qingbao didn't know the upper limit of a general-level energy, but listening to the conversation, it knew it could evolve, and immediately showed a happy expression and let out a cry.

At the same time, a cheerful breeze swept through the area.

"Search..."

Xiao Xunbao was initially happy for Qingbao, but then something occurred to him, and his happy expression suddenly vanished, replaced by a dazed look.

Is the fifth one about to evolve?

Wouldn't it soon be on the same level as me?
It seems the fairy silk contained too much energy, which is why it reached the upper limit of the general level so quickly… After convincing himself, Michael slowly exhaled, his eyes brightening, and quickly said:

“I’ll contact Jacqueline right away.”

After saying that, he took out his phone.

She knew what was going to happen next.

"Take out the Fairy Jade," Qiao Sang said to Xiao Xunbao.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter removed the ring and reluctantly took out the box containing the Fairy Spirit Jade.

"Give it to me..." Qingbao snatched the box, eagerly opened it, and reached her paw inside.

Just as it was about to touch the fairy spirit jade, it stopped and looked at its beast tamer.

Josan nodded at it.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao smiled and picked up the Fairy Spirit Jade.

The white light is bright.

Qiao Sang's consciousness quickly entered the Beast Taming Codex, adding the last bit of number after the level.

Little Treasure Hunter looked at the bright white light and sighed heavily.

Suddenly, it seemed to remember something, floated over to Lu Bao's side, a hint of shared sorrow flashing in its eyes, and called out:
"Searching..."

The fifth one reached the King level so quickly! It seems to have evolved so easily...

"Hyotei".

Lu Bao called out calmly.

Because its evolution materials do not require the beast tamer to specifically search for them.

After saying that, it offered a word of comfort:
"Hyotei".

You don't need to worry too much, your own Beastmaster has already collected all the evolution materials for you.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunt showed an "that's true" expression, then looked at Lu Bao, and the feeling of shared misfortune turned into sympathy.

It remembers that Lubo's evolution path was the most difficult...

Thinking of this, Xiao Xunbao patted Lu Bao on the shoulder to comfort her.

Lu Bao glanced at Xiao Xunbao indifferently.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter looked embarrassed and quickly withdrew its paw.

Lu Bao looked away.

"Search?"

Little Treasure looked at Lu Bao with a puzzled expression and called out, "Old Five's level is about to catch up with ours, aren't you sad?"

"Hyotei".

Lu Bao looked at the white light and calmly called out.

Why be sad? We're all companions.

Little Treasure Seeker stared blankly at Lu Bao.

It felt that the other person had really changed a lot since before...

In its memory, Lu Bao was strong-willed; if it were the old Lu Bao, she would definitely be even less happy than it was now…

We're all companions... Little Treasure Hunter looked at the evolving white light before him, and thinking of this sentence, he felt inexplicably more at ease.

"Tingting?"

At this moment, Tingbao called out in a questioning tone.

After Qingbao evolves, will its level be the same as yours, Boss?

Little Treasure Hunter: "..."

Before Xiao Xunbao could answer, Tingbao called out again:
"Tingting?"

I chased after you and beat you up when I saw that Qingbao's level was lower than yours. If your level is the same as yours, will you get beaten up, boss?
In Tingbao's memory, Qingbao's wind chased after the boss almost every day, while the boss was always running away, just like tonight on the way to Jiaguo.

"Searching..."

Like an arrow piercing his heart, Little Treasure Hunter knelt on the ground, his paws bracing against the earth.

It really is still very sad...

"Tooth."

Ya Bao called out seriously from the side, indicating that in the past it was just Xiao Xun Bao and Qing Bao playing together. With Xiao Xun Bao's current strength, even if Qing Bao evolves, Xiao Xun Bao will definitely be stronger.

"Tingting".

Tingbao gave him an "I see" look.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure looked up at Ya Bao with a touched expression.

Brother Ya Bao… (End of Chapter)
