Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 64 Gu Ling Scams People

After tidying up the room for a while, Gu Ling heard Xiang Jinli calling from downstairs: "Xiao Ling, come down quickly..."

When Gu Ling and Xian Jiu went downstairs, there were two more people in the living room, a man and a woman, who were about the same age as Gu Ling.

The woman's name is Gu Ya, and the man's name is Gu Zhou. They are Gu Ling's cousins.

"Zero zero".

Gu Ling.

Gu Ya and Gu Zhou were sitting on the sofa when they saw Gu Ling come down, so they got up and walked over.

Gu Ling greeted the two of them: "Sister Ya Ya, Gu Zhou."

"Gu Ling, is this your pet beast? It doesn't seem to have much fighting power."

Gu Zhou's eyes were immediately drawn to Xian Jiu, who was standing at Gu Ling's feet. He squatted down like Gu Ya, and was about to reach out and touch her when Xian Jiu swished its tail and dodged away.

Xian Jiu raised her chin and gave Gu Zhou a cold look.

This two-legged creature actually dares to question my strength?

Even if he's a family member of a beast tamer, I won't let him pet me today!

"Tch, what do you know?" Gu Ya easily reached out and stroked Xian Jiu's soft, fluffy fur, then turned to Gu Ling and exclaimed in admiration:

"This Rai-In cat has such beautiful fur; it's obvious you've raised it very well, Lingling."

Gu Zhou glanced at Xian Jiu again, but didn't see anything different. He scratched his head and said, "What can you tell from hair? My stubborn stone doesn't have any hair, so what can you tell from that?"

"You fell asleep again during the pet breeding class the other day, didn't you? No wonder you failed the written test at the end of the month," Gu Ya said, seeing right through her.

Gu Zhou's expression tightened, and he quickly turned to look towards the kitchen. After not hearing any unusual noises from inside, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm a beast tamer, so I just need to be able to command my pets in battle. Anyway, I can't concentrate on reading books."

"Gu Zhou, is your pet beast Stubborn Stone? Can I take a look?"

Gu Ling realized that the Beast Taming Ancient Book did not include information about the stubborn stone's pet beasts, so she could add it now and unlock a teaching slot.

"Sure." Gu Zhou raised his hand and drew a summoning circle. The circle flashed twice, and a pet beast that looked like a stone appeared on the spot.

Gu Ling successfully touched the stubborn stone and recorded the pet's information into it.

"Lingling, look!" Gu Ya summoned her pet beast as well: "This is my pet beast, the Hunting Feather Bird. Isn't it beautiful? It looks so dashing!"

Gu Ling reached out and touched the head of the Hunter Bird: "Hunter Bird? It only has one stage of evolution, right?"

"Yes, but when I was researching, I saw that the final evolution of the Huntsman Bird, the White-feathered Eagle, was so cool. Although it only has one evolution, the White-feathered Eagle's combat power is not weak." Gu Ya nodded.

"Hmm, it's really good. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Hunter Bird will look like after it evolves." Gu Ling's massage technique was very skillful, and the Hunter Bird unconsciously made a comfortable "purring" sound in its throat.

Previously at Henghu Station, the disciples of Baihua Martial Arts Academy arrived on white feathered eagles.

The White Feathered Eagle is also extremely fast among flying-type pets. When flying at full speed, its top speed can reach Mach 2, which is much faster than the flight speed of an ordinary airplane.

It would be pretty cool to be able to contract a White Feathered Eagle.

Gu Zhou rubbed his hands together, eager to get started: "Gu Ling, how about we have a pet battle right now? We haven't started eating yet, so let's treat it as an appetizer."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ya stood up and punched Gu Zhou on the forehead: "Lingling just got back and you're already looking for someone to fight? Can't you even let someone have a proper rest day?"

Gu Zhou had no choice but to change his mind: "Then tomorrow! We'll fight tomorrow morning, how about that?"

After saying that, he looked at Gu Ling with anticipation.

"Cousin, your Stubborn is a Rock/Ground type, and one of its Ground types is super effective against my Sage 9, right? This battle... never mind, I'm not fighting."

Gu Ling pretended to be embarrassed, slowly turning her head away, her gaze seemingly falling on Gu Ya.

Gu Ya paused for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening and silently uttered three words: ...game.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhou immediately offered some words of advice: "It's just a little bit of restraint. Adamantite isn't just a Ground-type, and Raicand can also beat it."

Gu Ling still looked hesitant: "Fighting isn't a good idea."

"Ahem..." Gu Ya suddenly coughed twice, offering her opinion: "Gu Zhou, this is the match you proposed, you should at least offer some kind of prize, right?"

Unable to think of a prize for the moment, Gu Zhou directly passed the question to Gu Ling: "Then Gu Ling, what prize do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ling's lips curled into a slight smile: "If you lose, you have to give me the latest game console you bought by saving up your living expenses."

"How...did you know?!" Gu Zhou's expression immediately tensed up at the mention of the game console, and he subconsciously lowered his voice.

Gu Ya, watching the drama unfold and fanning the flames, said, "Gu Zhou, are you worried you'll lose? Are you giving up?"

"Who said that!" Gu Zhou glared at his unscrupulous older sister, then gritted his teeth and agreed, "Deal! But if you lose, you have to buy me a new one!"

Gu Ya looked surprised: Oh wow, this kid's mind has suddenly become more flexible?

Gu Ling reassured Gu Ya with her eyes: It's okay, sis, just wait and see.

"Okay, it's settled then," Gu Ling readily agreed.

After making the decision, Gu Zhou belatedly realized that something was amiss: "Wait a minute, Gu Ling, are you up to something?"

Gu Ling blinked innocently: "No, what could I possibly be planning? Didn't you initiate the match?"

The two are cousins, but they have never formally called each other "cousin" or "sister" since they were little.

Gu Ling disliked Gu Zhou for being too naive and easily fooled. When they were little, Gu Zhou insisted on being the older sister, claiming it was to protect his younger brother.

Gu Zhou was already ruthlessly suppressed at home by her older sister, a model student, so naturally she didn't want another cunning "cousin".

The two became enemies, and whenever they met, they would always address each other by their first names, neither willing to yield to the other.

"What are you three chatting about? Come and eat..." At this moment, Xiang Jinli brought out a plate of freshly stir-fried braised pork ribs and placed it on the dining table. Within seconds, the aroma of braised pork ribs filled the air.

"Okay~ Second Aunt, I'm coming right now." Gu Ling was the first to respond, and then walked towards the kitchen to help bring out the dishes and bowls.

Seeing this, Gu Ya and Gu Zhou also went over.

The family sat around the table and ate dinner.

"Xiao Ling, try this braised pork rib..."

"And these vegetables that Aunt Li next door grows herself..."

"These fish were just caught, they're so fresh..."

Xiang Jinli kept putting food on Gu Ling's plate, and Gu Ling's rice bowl was soon piled high with various meat dishes.

"Second Aunt, let me finish eating first before I get more food." Seeing that Xiang Jinli wanted to give her more food, Gu Ling quickly spoke up.

Xiang Jinli stopped picking up food, but continued to nag, "Xiao Ling, you need to eat more. It seems like you've only grown taller, but haven't gained any weight."

"Look at Gu Zhou, he may be a bit slow, but he's as strong as a water buffalo. Good health is more important than anything else."

Feeling inexplicably called out, Gu Zhou pouted and said, "Mom, my IQ is perfectly normal, okay?"

"So how many points did you get on this monthly exam?" Xiang Jinli glanced at her son and her words were a fatal blow.

Gu Zhou: "..."

Gu Zhou didn't dare to speak and silently buried his head in his food.

Xiang Jinli turned to Gu Ling and asked, "Xiao Ling, how did your placement exam go?"

After taking a bite of rice, Gu Ling answered in a muffled voice, "I was lucky enough to get into the elite beast taming class."

"That's great!" Gu Ya said with delight. "I also got into the elite beast-taming class at Yangxi No. 1 High School, but Gu Zhou was a few places below him and didn't get in."

"Xiao Ling has always had good grades, so it's normal for her to get into the elite class, unlike Gu Zhou..."

Gu Zhou, who was eating braised pork ribs, suddenly froze.

If Gu Ling got into the elite beast taming class, does that mean her beast taming skills are very strong?

hiss……

Did he just fall into a pit?

Having already made the promise, Gu Zhou couldn't bring himself to go back on his word. He could only silently comfort himself: It's okay, it's okay. What if Gu Ling just got lucky? I was only a few places behind, dragged down by my cultural score.

……

After the group finished dinner, Gu Ya suggested, "Lingling, how about we go for a walk? Just to digest our food."

"Okay." Gu Ling nodded.

Xiang Jinli has been watching a popular TV series recently, and two episodes were just released tonight, so she didn't want to go out. She told the three of them, "Don't stay out too late, and remember to come back before 10 o'clock."

"Okay, Mom."

"Okay, Second Aunt."

Because it wasn't very convenient to go shopping with the Hunter Bird and the Stubborn Stone, Gu Ya and her brother put their pets away.

Only Gu Ling, carrying Xian Jiu who was full and didn't want to move at all, went out to stroll through the night market with Gu Ya and her brother.

The three of them walked from the bustling city to the seaside, wandering around wherever they happened to be.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery around her, Gu Ling felt a mix of emotions.

At this moment, Gu Ling noticed that a square that should have been there not far ahead was gone and had been transformed into a large pond with various aquatic pets.

Gu Ling asked in confusion, "Why is there a pond here? And why are there so many aquatic pets in it?"

Gu Ya explained, "They were all caught in the sea."

"A seafood hot pot restaurant that recently opened in town has a fishing event where you can use a special fishing rod to compete in catching aquatic pets. The winner of the event can win a six-month free seafood voucher."

"Sounds fun, but the prize doesn't really appeal to me."

Gu Ling can't stay in Ping'an Town forever; she'll have to go back after the holiday ends, and even if she gets the lottery tickets, she won't be able to use many of them.

Gu Ya shrugged: "It's all about participating, so it's fine to treat it as a way to relax."

"The event seems to start in two days. Let's go and have some fun together then," Gu Zhou said.

"Can."

Gu Ling thought about it again and decided that she could participate in this competition.

There should be many water-type pets in this event, so it's a good opportunity to farm some.

Gu Ling had spent half the day traveling and experienced the thrilling event of capturing pet poachers, yet she hadn't accumulated many points.

Besides that pile of dragon-type pet eggs...

Before handing over the dragon-type pet eggs, Gu Ling deliberately told Ye Wuyan that she wanted to take a closer look at them. Then she touched all 15 dragon-type pet eggs and recorded all the pet data into them.

More than 10 dragon-type skills were available for teaching on the spot.

Although Gu Ling doesn't have any dragon-type pets right now, she can collect them in advance so that she can directly teach them skills once she contracts a dragon-type pet in the future.

After wandering around outside for a while, the three of them returned home before 10 o'clock.

I just finished watching Xiang Jinli's TV series and am about to go to bed.

After Gu Ling finished showering, she returned to her room and was drying her hair when she received a bank transfer record.

— 200,000 received in bank card

Gu Ling's eyes widened in shock: "...70?!"

At that moment, a WeChat message from Zhou Mengran popped up at the top of the phone screen, and Gu Ling quickly clicked on it to check:

[Gu Ling, the nature reserve has given an extra 20 yuan in reward money. Keep this money safe.]

At this moment, Gu Ling was in a very good mood: "Although it was a bit exciting, the result was still good."

With this money, Gu Ling felt that the subsequent training plan for Xian Jiu could be adjusted slightly.

"I haven't decided which attribute to choose for my second pet yet, and the level of my pet space hasn't been upgraded either... Let's put it on hold for now."

First, we need to improve Xianjiu's strength to prepare for the friendly match two months later.

Gu Ling hadn't forgotten that the prize money for the friendly match was at least several hundred thousand!

"The pet supplies I bought during the summer vacation are all used up, it's time to buy a new one."

The Beast Taming Manual's outrageous tricks keep coming one after another.

Gu Ling couldn't handle it.

We can't rely entirely on that unstable little piece of junk, the Beast Taming Ancient Book.

[This is CCTV footage from the parking lot next to Henghu Station. I downloaded a copy, thinking you might need it.]

[If you're curious about Senior Ye, you can search for the name "Ye Wuyan".]

[video]

Seeing this, Gu Ling quickly typed a reply: [Okay, thank you, Teacher Zhou]

After drying her hair, Gu Ling called over Xian Jiu, who was playing games on her tablet: "Xian Jiu, come watch the video with me."

"Meow?"

Xian Jiu jumped over curiously.

Gu Ling opened the video.

In the video, the Flame Monkey is fighting three opponents and immediately severely injures one of the pets.

The other two pets tried every means and skill, but they couldn't withstand a single fiery punch from the Flamefall Monkey.

at the end……

The Frostbird appeared and froze the bald man in place with a single breath of ice.

After watching the entire video, Gu Ling felt that her eyes had been opened and couldn't help but exclaim, "Xian Jiu, Ye Xuechang's strength is really strong in the battle in the parking lot during the day."

One person effortlessly dealt with two pet poachers.

Xian Jiu nodded repeatedly: "Meow~" That Flamefall Monkey is really strong too~

Starting today, Infernape will be my ninth idol!

Gu Ling clenched her fist subconsciously, a surge of excitement rising within her: "When will we be this strong? This powerful?"

"Xian Jiu, we can definitely do it, right? We need to work hard to improve our strength so that if we encounter this situation again, we can solve it with our own power!"

"Meow~"

Yes! I want to be that powerful next time too! To defeat all the bad guys!

"So, let's do some special National Day training!"

Gu Ling, who was initially hesitant about whether to relax during the National Day holiday or continue training, suddenly had a clear goal.

Xian Jiu clenched her little paws, her face full of determination: "Meow!"

"Oh right, Teacher Zhou just mentioned Senior Ye's name... I'll go look it up first."

Gu Ling was quite curious as to why Senior Ye was so confident in saying that he had a 90% chance of getting a dragon-type pet from the Longfeng Cave Nature Reserve for free.

Gu Ling typed "Ye Wuyan" into her mobile browser, and before she even clicked search, a whole bunch of related search terms appeared below.

"Holy crap!"
