Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Qiao Sang picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

She immediately remembered that she had left her contact information for the ghost-type pets, and on a whim, she quickly answered the call and said "Hello".

However, the imagined report of finding the Hidden Grass did not happen.

An unfamiliar female voice rang out from the speaker:
"What's wrong with you? You can't even keep an eye on your own Ghost-type pet. It's cut all the flowers off my Flower Clipper's head! Come here right now!"

Qiao Sang looked completely bewildered: "You must have dialed the wrong number. My ghost-type pet was just right next to me."

"How could that be?" The unfamiliar female voice said with dissatisfaction, "The Flower-Viewing Ghost is your pet, isn't it? It even has your phone number on it."

Flower-Admiring Ghost, an intermediate-level Ghost-type pet, loves flowers and plants. It will pick any it likes. It has a friendly personality and, compared to other Ghost-type pets, doesn't have any bad habits... Qiao Sang's mind flashed with information about Flower-Admiring Ghost.

She remembered that among the group searching for the Hidden Grass, there was indeed a Flower-Admiring Ghost...

“It’s not my pet. I just gave it a task and left my phone number in case it couldn’t contact me,” Qiao Sang explained. “You should have seen its identification bracelet; it’s a wild pet.”

"I don't care," the woman on the other end of the phone said. "You're the contact person for the Flower-Viewing Ghost, so you're in charge of this. Otherwise, I'll send the Flower-Viewing Ghost to the Pet Training Center."

A pet training center is a place for training and managing wild pets. Generally, if a wild pet makes a mistake, it will stay there for a period of time to be trained and then released.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to speak, the woman on the other end of the phone put the call on speakerphone.

“Enjoy…” came the weeping voice of the flower-viewing ghost.

It doesn't want to go to the animal training center...

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then said, "Where are you? I'm coming over now."

“I’m on Youling Street,” the woman said.

Qiao Sang hung up the phone, sighed inwardly, and opened the navigation.

Just then, my phone vibrated again.

It was still an unfamiliar number.

Qiao Sang's heart stirred again, and with hope in her heart, she answered the phone:
"Hey?"

"You're the beast tamer of the Murmuring Spirit, aren't you?" An angry male voice came from the phone: "How could you let it out without sealing its mouth? Now I've lost my job, what are you going to do about it?"

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then subconsciously said, "I remember that Nan Nan Ling's mouth has been sealed."

"What did you use to seal it? There's nothing on its mouth! It said all the things I was thinking about cursing the leaders!" The man's voice grew increasingly angry.

“Your boss probably wouldn’t understand,” Qiao Sang said.

"He has a pet! His pet has been translated!" the man roared.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then explained, "I'm actually not its beast tamer..."

The man interrupted, "You're not now, but you will be in the future. You're not just trying to avoid responsibility, are you?"

In the Kingdom of Jia, some beast tamers will raise young beasts even when there are no blank contract pages, in order to break through their brain domains and directly contract pets when a contract page appears.

During the breeding period, in order to prevent them from getting lost, it is common practice to purchase bracelets with location tracking and contact information for them to wear. Some poorer animal tamers will simply write their contact information on their pets.

“I really didn’t…” Qiao Sang was about to explain.

The man interrupted again, saying, "If you don't want it anymore, I'll let it work for me, and I'll let it go once I find a new job."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang heard Nan Nanling crying loudly on the other end of the phone:
"Muttering! Murmuring!"

I don't want to work! I don't want to work!
"So Ghost-type pets are supposed to be popular in Jia Kingdom..." Qiao Sang sighed heavily in her heart and asked:
"Where are you now?"

A dozen seconds later, Qiao Sang hung up the phone.

Just then, the phone vibrated again.

Qiao Sang glanced at the number and saw it was another unfamiliar number.

She stared at the number on her phone, but hesitated to make a move.

"Steel rights?"

Steel Treasure called out.

Aren't you going to answer?
Qiao Sang took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Are you the Beastmaster of the Dark Destroyer? It shut off the main power switch for our building, causing a power outage for the entire building."

"..."

"Are you listening? I hope you can come over now."

"..."

……

"Are you the Beastmaster of the Night Spirit? It uprooted the Darkflower that we carefully cultivated at our planting base."

"I am not its beast tamer."

"But it has your contact number on it. If you don't come, we'll have to leave it here and let it work to make up for the cost. At its value, it will work for at least two years."

"Catalyst! Catalyst!"

"..."

Within a few minutes, Qiao Sang received several phone calls.

She hung up the number that had just dialed, slowly exhaled, and tried to calm herself down.

"Steel Power".

Steel Bao barked, indicating that they shouldn't leave phone numbers on them anymore.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then asked, "Did Little Treasure Hunter secretly curse me just now?"

"Steel power..."

Gangbao looked thoughtful, shook his head, and called out.

Probably not...

It was quite certain that Little Treasure Hunter hadn't cast a curse, but its own Beastmaster's current unlucky state did indeed seem like it had been cursed, so it became somewhat uncertain.

Why does she feel like she's been so unlucky ever since she left the treasure hunt as a child...? Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out the Beast Taming Badge from her backpack and put it on.

"Steel rights?"

Seeing this, Gangbao exclaimed, "Would it be more convenient to wear this?"

“Of course.” Qiao Sang said as she opened the navigation and entered “Youling Street”.

The badge of a B-rank Beastmaster is a deterrent force wherever it is displayed.

As Gangbao listened to his beast tamer's thoughts, he seemed to be thinking of something, and his size slowly increased.

Qiao Sang watched the growing Steel Treasure, but did not stop it. Instead, he waited until it had fully grown in size before riding the wind onto its body.

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure spread its wings and flew high into the sky.

Its enormous size and powerful aura caused passing flying-type pets to keep their distance.

……

at the same time.

In the woods, Little Treasure Hunter, emanating a black aura, drifted among the grass.

Toothball stayed by its side.

Suddenly, it sensed something, looked puzzled, and called out:
"Ya?"

When did you curse me?
"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter was taken aback at first, then quickly called out.

It has no curse!

"Teeth..."

Ya Bao gave a "Really?" look.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded repeatedly.

of course!

Ya Bao wore a thoughtful expression and began to circulate his energy to purify the curse power within his body.

Since Little Treasure Hunter isn't cursed, where did the cursed power within it come from...?

Just then, it clearly saw a wisp of black energy emanating from Little Treasure slowly drifting into its own body.

"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao quickly called out.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter looked down and saw a wisp of black energy on his body drifting towards his older brother, Tooth Treasure. Startled, he quickly waved his paws and cried out:
"Search!"

This has nothing to do with it!

"Tooth."

Ya Bao nodded, indicating that it understood, then, as if remembering something, it barked again:
"Ya Ya." Go ahead and curse me; I don't think you can control yourself.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure looked embarrassed, called out, and then its eyes glowed purple as it looked at Tooth Treasure.

The next second, a layer of black light that could be seen with the naked eye appeared on the surface of the tooth.

However, it disappeared quickly.

Ya Bao instantly felt black energy spreading throughout his body.

Just as it was channeling its energy, a bug-type pet, mostly black with white spots, suddenly fell from the tree and landed on its head.

"Tooth."

Ya Bao grabbed the insect-type pet on his head and tossed it aside with a rather impatient expression.

Immediately afterwards, the leaves above rustled and shook.

Ya Bao looked up.

One after another, black insect-type pets suddenly fell from the lush foliage, like rain.

In just a few seconds, Ya Bao was completely overwhelmed by the black insect-type pets.

"Searching..."

Seeing this, Little Treasure Hunter silently took two steps back.

This shouldn't be its problem...

……

Six p.m.

Qiao Sang returned to the hotel looking exhausted.

Although his B-rank Beastmaster status was very useful, he couldn't help it when one Ghost-type pet got into trouble and another Ghost-type pet got into trouble.

With Little Treasure not around, it was difficult to teleport, so almost half of today's time was wasted on catching Ghost-type pets.

A dozen or so ghost-type pets stood in a row, looking embarrassed, and all let out a cry.

"It's alright." Qiao Sang walked to the refrigerator, opened it, and took out some juice as she said, "The best reward is for you to help me find the Hidden Shadow Grass."

The ghost-type pets all nodded, looking full of fighting spirit.

"We'll continue the search after dinner," Qiao Sang earnestly instructed. "But before we go out to search, you must remember the location of the hotel room and my phone number."

After repeatedly retrieving ghost-type pets, she realized the problem and cleaned up all the numbers on the ghost-type pets.

Ghost-type pets are popular in Jia Kingdom. However, if a ghost-type pet causes trouble, people will usually find the pet's tamer to take responsibility. If a wild ghost-type pet causes trouble, people know that there is no one to take responsibility, so they will basically just accept their bad luck.

Only ghost-type pets that cause particularly serious trouble will be taken to the pet training center.

The ghost-type pets all nodded obediently, indicating that they understood.

The information does indeed contain the truth; these ghost-type pets do have good personalities… Qiao Sang sipped her drink, feeling slightly relieved.

Although we wasted some time today, we've gained some experience in finding things with Ghost-type pets. These Ghost-type cubs all have families, and once we've built a good relationship with them, we can get them to contact their families to search together.

Moreover, after she posted the quest, quite a few beast tamers and ghost-type pets accepted it, so it wasn't a complete loss...

Just as I was thinking this in a good mood, Qingbao appeared, looked around, and called out:
"Qingqing?"

Has Little Treasure Hunt returned yet?

“No,” Jossan said. “It’s still searching outside, but it’s time to eat now, so it should be back soon.”

After speaking, he formed a hand seal.

Instantly, two mysterious and profound purple star arrays lit up in the room.

Before long, Ya Bao and Xiao Xun Bao appeared in the star array.

The once gorgeous and smooth fur on Ya Bao's body had become messy, with even some leaves still attached, as if it had fallen into a pit.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang was startled and asked:

"What's going on here?"

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter silently floated back two steps.

"Tooth."

Ya Bao cried out, indicating that nothing was wrong, but some unlucky things had just happened.

Qiao Sang instantly understood something and asked:

"Don't you possess the sacred fire?"

Just as Qingbao was about to float to Xiaoxunbao's side, she realized something, stopped, and took two steps back.

"Teeth..."

Ya Bao sighed and cried out, indicating that he had encountered a lot of bad luck before he could purify himself.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter looked guilty.

"Tooth."

Ya Bao then cried out, indicating that it was alright, as it only encountered bad luck when it was first cursed, and everything would be fine after purification.

"Tooth."

Then it seemed to remember something and cried out again.

However, even when Little Treasure Hunt isn't cursing it, the curse power within it will still drift into its body.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, quickly recalling the unfortunate events that had befallen her since Xiao Xunbao left, and a bad premonition arose in her heart. She said:

"Take a look inside me and see if there's a curse on me right now."

Ya Bao's eyes lit up with blue light as he looked over.

Soon, it opened its mouth and spewed out golden flames.

Ah, so I was cursed, that's why I'm so unlucky... Qiao Sang had a feeling that she knew it all along.

A short while later, the flames stopped, and Ya Bao, looking displeased, glared at Xiao Xun Bao and called out:
"Ya Ya!"

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter quickly waved its paws and barked.

It knows nothing!
"Little Treasure Hunter must have had too much cursed power within him, which unconsciously affected those around him," Qiao Sang explained.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded repeatedly.

That must be it!

"Steel Power".

Just as Ya Bao was about to say something, Gang Bao called out, indicating that he would take a look for me too.

Ya Bao looked over, his eyes gleaming with blue light.

A moment later, the blue light in its eyes faded, and it let out a cry:
"Tooth."

No curse power was detected.

When Gangbao brought Xiaoxunbao over, Xiaoxunbao was emitting obvious black energy, which affected even herself, but Gangbao was completely unaffected... Could it be that Gangbao's defense is strong enough to defend against curses...? Qiao Sang couldn't help but glance at Gangbao.

In the blink of an eye, the black aura that had disappeared from Xiao Xunbao's body reappeared.

Qiao Sang's thoughts suddenly stopped, and she and Ya Bao quickly retreated until they reached the wall before stopping.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter looked sad.

Is it really that scary...?

“Gis”.

Giss Egg didn't seem to understand what the black mist represented, and rolled around next to Little Treasure Hunter.

At that moment, Michael and Penjame appeared out of thin air.

“I’ve found a pet that can increase my luck,” Michaela said.

Qiao Sang didn't speak immediately, but looked in the direction where the Dragon King was.

Michaela followed the gaze.

"Grind?"

The Dragon King seemed to realize something. He first shook his buttocks twice, then reached down and pulled out the Gith Egg.

“Gis.”

Gisdan's eyes were swirling, and he appeared to be unconscious. (End of Chapter)
