Chapter 805: Where Have I Seen This Before?
Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
A pleasant female voice came over the public announcement system: "Dear passengers, all the wild pet beasts in the airport have been driven out. However, due to the damage caused by the wild beasts, all flights are currently delayed. New departure times will be announced in real-time based on actual conditions. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will do our best to provide the assistance and support you need. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.â
The passengers in the waiting lounge erupted in cheers.
Rather than blaming the airport for negligence, what they felt first and foremost was the joy and relief of surviving a disaster.
---
Tarmac.
The staff were busy repairing the ground and inspecting damage to the aircraft.
Although they had restrained themselves from using large-scale attack skills during the battle, the number of wild pet beasts that broke in was simply too many. There was even a second wave, which inevitably caused some damage to the aircraft.
Fortunately, the second wave came quickly and left just as fast, so the damage wasnât too severe.
Achill looked at Qiao Sang with a sincerely grateful smile.
âThis time we really have you to thank. If it werenât for your help, the wild beasts wouldnât have been resolved so quickly.â
Qiao Sang smiled back: âHelping everyone is also helping myself. After all, I was here too.â
If it werenât for her, this probably wouldnât have happened in the first placeâŠ
What a noble child,
Achill thought.
She helped so much and yet doesn't seek creditâŠ
His gaze softened even more.
Then he suddenly remembered something, pulled out a business card from his pocket, and handed it over: âThis is my business card. If you ever come to the 30th District again and need anything, feel free to find me.â
I probably wonât be coming back to the 30th DistrictâŠ
Qiao Sang took the card, glanced at it, and tucked it away: âThank you, I will.â
âWhere are you headed?â Achill asked.
âThe 1st District.â Qiao Sang replied.
The 1st District⊠Makes sense. Only a place like the 1st District could produce a prodigy like this.
Achill subconsciously glanced at the unfamiliar pet beasts beside her.
The 30th District was teeming with wild pet beasts. You could see almost every breed here, even rare ones werenât uncommon.
Beast masters from the lower and middle ten districts who wanted to contract rare beasts but didnât have the budget would often come to the 30th District hoping to get lucky.
But with so many species in the 30th District, Achill didnât recognize a single one of the beasts around her.
Just how rare were they?
Achill looked back at her and asked: âWhich flight are you on?â
âThe 3:30 AM one.â Qiao Sang smiled bitterly.
âI was just about to board when this happened.â
Achill pondered for a moment and said: âItâll likely take several hours to inspect all the planes here one by one. If you're in a hurry, another flight heading to the 1st District will arrive in about ten minutes. I can help you switch flights.â áčÎŹÎÆâżĐÈ
Qiao Sangâs eyes lit up instantly: âReally?â
âOf course.â Achill smiled.
Passengers flying from the 30th District to the upper districts were always the fewest. He was confident there would be plenty of open seats.
âThatâs wonderful, thank you so much!â Qiao Sang said gratefully.
She had just dealt with those five people and really didnât want to deal with any new headaches, especially that A-rank Beast master.
Who knew what tricks he had up his sleeve?
âItâs us who should be thanking you.â Achill said, then turned and began calling the ticket staff to arrange her flight change.
Qiao Sang pulled out her phone and redialed Mr. Piriteâs number.
âRing ring~â
This time, the call connected. A familiar voice came through the speaker: âHello?â
Finally!
Qiao Sangâs spirits lifted. She asked eagerly: âTeacher, are you okay?â
âIâm fine.â Piriteâs voice sounded strange, like heâd just finished crying and was still stuffy: âYou havenât boarded yet?â
âNot yet, something happened earlier and I had to change flights. Iâll be boarding soon.â Qiao Sang paused, recalling the sound in his voice.
âAre you really okay?â
âIâm fine.â Pirite coughed twice, his voice sounding more normal.
âJust head to the 1st District. Those two people seem to have gotten some intel and left. Theyâre probably heading your way. I bought a ticket to return tomorrow.â
He paused and choked up slightly, though he quickly composed himself.
âLetâs not talk now. There are still a lot of wild pet beasts on the road.â
Qiao Sang: ââŠOkay.â
After hanging up, she stared at her phone, deep in thought.
Mr. Pirite had definitely run into trouble. But from the sound of it, it wasnât life-threateningâŠ
At that moment, Achill came back after hanging up his own call and said with a smile: âGet ready. Your flightâs been successfully changed.â
---
Clearing outside the dense forest.
Pirite set down his phone, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face.
He hadnât expected the enemy to play dirty, using a beast to release tear powder just to mess up his ability to give commands.
Absolutely vile!
Thank goodness Qiao Sang had already left. If she saw him like this, how could he maintain his dignity as her teacher?
Suddenly, rustling sounds came from nearby.
Piriteâs eyes sharpened, and he turned with a tear-choked voice: âWhoâs there?â
âDo si.â
From the tall grass, a Dosidola poked its head out.
âOh, itâs youâŠâ Pirite said through his tears.
He recognized it as the one who had provided clues about Adinishi to Qiao Sang.
âDo siâŠâ
Dosidola looked around cautiously, then carefully walked over and stopped beside Pirite.
âI donât have any food on me right now.â Pirite said, seeing its approach and assuming it wanted something to eat.
âDo si?â
Dosidola stared at the tears running down his face, looking puzzled.
âAre you asking why Iâm crying?â Pirite asked, tears still flowing.
âDo si.â
Dosidola nodded.
âBecause I got hit with tear powder.â Pirite explained.
Upon hearing this, Dosidola suddenly turned and ran into the forest.
Pirite didnât think much of it and continued to sit there, crying.
He planned to leave after the effects of the tear powder wore off.
A few minutes later, the forest rustled again, something was running toward him.
Pirite wiped his eyes and looked toward the sound, sharp-eyed despite his tears.
It was the same Dosidola from earlier, now back with a green plant in its claws.
âDo si!â
Dosidola stopped in front of him and held out the plant.
âIs this for me?â Pirite asked, hesitant.
âDo si.â
Dosidola nodded.
âWhat is it?â Pirite asked, still weeping as he accepted it.
âDo si.â
Dosidola raised a claw and pointed to its own nose.
Pirite, who had decent field experience and often worked with pet behavior researchers, immediately understood what Dosidola meant.
âYou want me to sniff it?â
âDo si.â
Dosidola nodded again.
Still crying, Pirite lifted the green plant and sniffed it casually.
It wasnât that he had no caution toward wild pet beasts, but heâd interacted with this Dosidola before and knew it wasnât malicious. Plus, it was only a mid-level beast, it wasnât capable of hurting him.
---
âWhat kind of herb is this? It stings the nose.â
Pirite pulled the green plant away with a look of disgust.
Suddenly, he felt something. He froze, then looked sharply at Dosidola.
âThis herb you brought me⊠does it counteract the tear powder?â
âDo si.â
Dosidola scratched its head in embarrassment.
It didnât leave after delivering the herb. Instead, it watched Pirite with expectant eyes.
Pirite, no longer crying, felt much better and said with a smile: âI really donât have any food on me.â
âDo siâŠâ
Dosidola looked disappointed upon hearing that.
âBut I do have something you might need.â
Pirite continued.
As he spoke, he pulled a yellowish-brown crystal from his pocket.
It was an Earth Stone, a key item for evolving ground-type pet beasts. He remembered that Dosidolaâs evolution condition required one.
To ordinary Beast masters, Earth Stones were quite valuable, but the one Pirite had was mid-grade, neither powerful nor collectible. It had no use or value to him.
He only kept it because one of his own ground-type pet beasts liked to chew on Earth Stones like snacks, so he always had one on hand.
âDo siâŠâ
Dosidola took the Earth Stone with a confused look, unsure of what it was for.
âJust press it to your forehead and circulate your energy.â Pirite explained.
If a beast had sufficient energy in its body and met the conditions for evolution, the Evolution Stone would glow once activated.
Since Dosidola didnât trigger any reaction, it meant it hadnât yet reached the required energy level.
There were two possible reasons for this. One, its energy was still far below the threshold, so even with the Evolution Stone, it wouldnât work.
Or two, its energy had passed a certain boundary, but it needed to circulate its power to fully activate the stone and trigger evolution.
For tamed pet beasts, the ideal time to evolve was when their energy reserves were maxed out. But for wild beasts, evolution should happen whenever possible.
After all, it was survival of the fittest. The wild was brutal, if you werenât strong enough, you couldnât even eat.
Having said that, Pirite wiped the remaining snot and tears off his face, then looked up at Nyudikaka, who was on lookout in the sky.
âLetâs go.â
âNyuu~â
Nyudikaka let out a cry, its eyes glowing blue.
The next second, both it and Pirite vanished from where they stood.
âDo siâŠâ
Dosidola looked at the Earth Stone in its paw, hesitated, then slowly lifted it to its forehead.
Just before circulating its energy, it glanced at the scene before it, an empty clearing, tall grass swaying in the wind.
It felt oddly familiar, like⊠it had seen this place somewhere beforeâŠ
Shaking off the strange feeling, Dosidola focused and began to channel the energy in its body.
Under the moonlight, the quiet clearing rustled with moving grass.
Suddenly, a dazzling white light burst into view.
---
The next day.
The 1st District.
Airport.
After a smooth landing, Qiao Sang disembarked and switched off airplane mode on her phone, just in time to receive a message from Teacher Pirite saying he had successfully boarded.
She quietly let out a sigh of relief.
At that moment, a staff member approached her respectfully: âMiss Qiao Sang?â
Qiao Sang paused, then nodded, âYes.â
âYour pet vehicle is ready. Please follow me.â The staff member turned and began leading the way.
Qiao Sang followed behind, suddenly remembering
: Oh right, the VIP serviceâŠ
They arrived at the tarmac, where a bird-type pet beast stood with a carriage attached to its back.
The staff member opened the carriage door.
Nice. Saved her the trouble of exiting through the airportâŠ
Qiao Sang lifted her leg and stepped inside.
The door closed.
The bird beast flapped its wings powerfully and soared into the sky.
âYap!â
Yabao opened the window, gazing out at the sky.
âLu Ai.â
Lubaoâs head leaned next to Yabaoâs, also staring out.
Gangbao split into two copies, practicing the clone skill she had just learned, clearly in a good mood.
âXun xunâŠâ
Little Treasure looked at Yabao, then at Lubao, and finally at Gangbao.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten somethingâŠ
He wandered over to his Beast masterâs side and gave a fake cough, trying to regain a sense of presence.
âWhatâs wrong?â Qiao Sang put down the phone she had just picked up and asked.
âXun xun?â
Little Treasure lowered his voice and asked what to do about that flute-playing guy inside his ring.
Qiao Sang was about to respond when she suddenly remembered,
didnât Adinishi have the ability to see the outside world through the ring?
If that were true, could he hear sounds from the outside too?
Realizing that, she swallowed her original response and said instead: âSince he likes staying inside, letâs not bother him for now. Weâll deal with it when we get home.â
âXun xunâŠâ
Little Treasure nodded reluctantly.
Fine⊠He had waited this long. A little longer wouldnât hurtâŠ
---
Fifty minutes later.
Villa.
âXun xun!â
As soon as they entered the house, Little Treasure couldnât help but shout, then flopped dramatically onto the couch, declaring that this trip had been exhausting.
After that, he glanced around, at Yabao, at Lubao, at his Beast master, expecting a response.
âYouâve worked hard.â Qiao Sang said as she walked toward her room.
âYap!â
Yabao energetically ran off to the outdoor training field.
Gangbao headed the same way.
âLu Ai.â
Lubao gave Little Treasure a look, then the gem on her forehead lit up with blue light, shining on Little Treasureâs body.
Once the glow faded, Lubao turned and swam off toward the indoor pool.
Little Treasure: ???
He blinked, staring at the now-empty living room in confusion.
Why was this so different from what he imagined?
Wasnât everyone supposed to take turns talking about how exhausting the journey was, and then he could emotionally and dramatically recount his great contributions?
Then, once the flute guy came out and played his tune, he would ascend to the throne of
Boss!
That was the proper script!
At that moment, Qiao Sang came out carrying a pile of snacks, opened the fridge, and took out everything edible, placing it all on the dining table.
Then she turned to look at Little Treasure: âAsk Adinishi if heâs willing to come out now.â
âXun xun!â
Finally!
His Beast master hadnât forgotten about that guy after all!
Revived with energy, Little Treasure eagerly pulled off the ring and stuck his head inside.
After a few seconds, he emerged, expanded the ring, reached in with his paw, and carefully pulled out the very round and chubby Adinishi.
