Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 161: Chapter 156 Completed

“`

The flavor of the energy pills was a big hit with Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao.

These specially formulated energy pills tailored to the pet beast’s condition were bound to be liked by any pet beast as long as there was no mistake in the recipe.

Perhaps what mattered most with energy pills was the effect.

The same recipe could produce different effects based on the level of the Energy Pill Maker who crafted them.

For example, the formula and method for making ordinary energy pills that increase a pet beast’s stamina are public knowledge.

Yet energy pills made by a low-level Energy Pill Maker might only allow a pet beast to pump iron for a minute longer, whereas those made by a high-level Energy Pill Maker could let the pet beast pump iron for an additional hour on top of its existing capacity.

The difference between the two was substantial.

Judging by the color and shape of these two types of energy pills, they seemed to be of the higher-quality variety.

After Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao voluntarily consumed some energy pills, Qiao Sang asked, “How do you feel?”

Yaobao’s energy pills were red, while Xiao Xunbao’s were black, and there was no mixing them up.

“Yaobao!”

Yaobao didn’t even think before responding—its only thought was wanting to eat more!

Qiao Sang: “…”

Ever since Yaobao had evolved, the connection between it and Qiao Sang could almost be described as telepathic, and misunderstandings of her intentions were rare. Clearly, its judgment was clouded by the delicious taste.

“That’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking if you feel any changes within your body?” Qiao Sang clarified.

Inside its body? Yaobao focused inward, and when it noticed changes within, its eyes suddenly lit up.

“Yaobao!”

“Ya Ya!”

Qiao Sang nodded as she listened. It seemed the red energy pill could increase the energy within Yaobao and maintain an active state for a certain period, which would be highly beneficial for skill practice at that time.

Besides, the flow of energy was faster, and it caused a slight overflow into every corner of the body, continuously forging its limbs from the inside out, playing a significant role in strengthening Yaobao’s physique.

The money was well spent!

Qiao Sang inwardly admired the work—none other than a Grade-A Breeder could have formulated such an energy pill recipe. In a word, it was flawless!

After analyzing the effect of the red energy pill on Yaobao, Qiao Sang turned to inquire about the effect of the black energy pills on Xiao Xunbao.

“Xun~”

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao conveyed its sensations.

Qiao Sang nodded. The effects of the black energy pills were similar to those of the red ones, except one stimulated Fire Element energy and the other stimulated Spectral energy.

Another difference was that the black energy pills did not cause Xiao Xunbao’s energy to overflow and refine its limbs.

Qiao Sang wasn’t disappointed by this, as spectral-type pet beasts didn’t rely on physical strength for battle—they relied entirely on special attacks for powerful output.

Accordingly, while the black energy pills didn’t enhance Xiao Xunbao’s physique, they enabled it to absorb some life energy.

It is well-known that spectral-type pet beasts absorbing life energy from humans is strictly forbidden by the state—with those that do commonly being labeled as evil.

However, spectral-type pet beasts could only speed up their growth by absorbing such energy, leading Breeders to seek out combinations of various materials to create energy pills containing life energy for them to absorb.

These types of energy pills were extremely valuable and weren’t usually priced openly on the market.

While energy pills made to a prescription typically had similar prices, if placed on the market, the black energy pills Xiao Xunbao consumed would likely be much more expensive than Yaobao’s red ones.

Having consumed the valuable energy pills, Qiao Sang didn’t delay and quickly had Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao start their training.

The active energy from the pills wouldn’t last 24 hours—once the energy pills were digested, their effects would pass.

Yaobao was always proactive about training, and Xiao Xunbao’s attitude toward training had changed after this task.

Both eagerly turned to their training routines.

Ever since Yaobao’s skill with Spark reached the peak of Mystique, Qiao Sang had been having it train Flame Tooth.

As an intermediate Skill and an Inherited Skill of the Fire-Toothed Dog breed, Flame Tooth naturally needed to be mastered and exalted.

Xiao Xunbao, on the other hand, practiced hypnotism, still targeting those 9 ants.

After watching for a while, Qiao Sang suddenly called Yaobao over.

“You can practice Flame Tooth using your Doppelganger, and the main body can run a few laps around the courtyard.”

“`

She never forgot to let Yaobao try using doppelgangers and having the original body act separately.

Plainly speaking, this was essentially a multitasking training method; eating while training was multitasking, and bathing while training was multitasking as well.

However, although the original body could usually eat and watch TV, Yaobao had just swallowed an energy pill, and the energy inside was refining its limbs, so it was necessary to get the original body moving.

As long as this training method became a habit, she believed that Yaobao’s doppelgangers and original body would eventually be able to use different skills simultaneously.

“Ya.”

Yaobao nodded. It had been using doppelgangers and acting independently with its original body for more than a day or two, and naturally understood its Beast Tamer’s intention.

After arranging for the two pet beasts, Qiao Sang returned to her room.

Picking up her phone, there were already 99+ messages, mostly from the group chat.

Qiao Sang couldn’t resist opening them to look.

She logged onto the Beast Taming Center’s official website and checked her task information.

“I really hope it’s a five-star rating…”

Although the task had been completed successfully, Qiao Sang still felt a bit uncertain; she always remembered the example Wang Yao had given…

The old lady’s temperament was truly not of the kind and friendly sort…

Qiao Sang, with a nervous heart, clicked open the task details.

Not getting a five-star rating was a minor issue, but cleaning bathrooms, that was a major one.

[Rating: Five Stars]

[Review: More useful than those people from the inspection department]

Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief; although there wasn’t a thousand-word rave review, this succinct comment and the five stars on top were enough to prevent Zheng Baolong from finding any faults with her.

It seemed the old lady was actually quite nice after all… A moment of silence.

…

The latest message in the invincible holy water group was from an hour ago.

[Wang Yao: Is anyone there? I’m so bored, come out and chat]

Wang Yao was really bored.

Her task only required the Great Flame Sparrow to quietly pose as a model, and all she had to do was watch over it to make sure it didn’t grow impatient and move.

Now, she could only occasionally play with her phone on the side, wanting to chat with her friends in the group to discuss how the task was going, but none of them were showing up.

Wang Yao listlessly looked through the trending topics on her phone.

Just then, her phone vibrated.

[Qiao Sang: I’m here!]

No sooner had Qiao Sang sent her message than another one popped up in the group.

[Wang Yao: Finally someone shows up!]

[Wang Yao: Qiao Sang, what are you doing, are you as bored as I am, you have no idea, I’m about to die of boredom]

In her opinion, Qiao Sang’s task was also boring enough, aimlessly looking for a Spectral-type pet, probably spending most of the time daydreaming, not knowing what to do.

[Qiao Sang: Not bored at all, I just woke up]

[Wang Yao: …You are amazing, knowing to just give up]

[Qiao Sang: Give up? No, I fell asleep after pulling an all-nighter on the task]

[Wang Yao: …]

[Wang Yao: That’s tough, how’s the task going?]

[Qiao Sang: Not bad, didn’t disgrace the mission, it’s completed]

This one sentence immediately blew up the chat with a bunch of lurking people.

[Shi Gaofeng: ?]

[Xu Yajie: ?]

[Zheng Guoping: ?]

[Wang Yao: ???]
