But after the beast-taming society developed, a new profession emerged: Beast traffickers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those in this line of work are usually ordinary people or low-level beast tamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They don't dare venture into secret realms to capture pet beasts, nor do they target evolved pet beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a pet beast that has evolved once is usually too large, and if a mid-level pet beast senses something amiss, any random skill they use could cause a huge commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, even if these traffickers succeed, if the beast tamer of the mid-level pet beast is above E-level, the danger factor skyrockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forcing a pet beast to break a contract is something they simply can't accomplish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, their targets are always small, easily deceived low-level pet beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, cases of beast trafficking are rare, and every time one occurs, it makes the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the trafficker's confession, he had staked out a training center for a month before finally targeting a lone fluffball pet beast that wasn’t escorted by its tamer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spent a fortune on fragrant fruits that are highly attractive to grass-type pet beasts, and, as expected, the fluffball grew close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, using the lure of more fragrant fruits, he managed to coax the fluffball onto an unregistered long-distance hacker vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the contract, a beast tamer would sense any unusual changes in their pet beast, so the trafficker had to keep the fluffball well-fed and content before the vehicle left the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, that very evening, a flash of white light occurred, and the fluffball evolved into a sweet flower puff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t the end of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One minute later, as the sweet flower puff was eating the expensive fragrant fruit the trafficker had bought on loan, it suddenly vanished from the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trafficker was left dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only arrested later, learning that the fluffball's owner was a B-level beast tamer, and the fluffball was the fifth pet beast in their contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter where the fluffball wandered, as long as it remained in the area, the beast tamer could summon it back using their B-level beast tome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, the now-evolved sweet flower puff had reported the trafficker’s existence in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning the truth, the trafficker broke down in tears and swore to turn over a new leaf, promising never to engage in such activities again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this story made the news, many beast traffickers retired from the trade. Already a rare occurrence, pet trafficking cases stopped happening altogether for several months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qiao Sang remained cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it wasn’t that beast trafficking no longer existed, only that fewer people engaged in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small, valuable beginner pet beast like Crowned Cat, walking around the streets, exuding the aura of Alliance coins, could easily catch someone’s eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tamer of Crowned Cat must be quite bold...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang sighed internally before asking, \"Why is it specifically seeking out my Treasure-Seeking Ghost?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I recommended it.\" The receptionist answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wanted a beginner pet beast that could teleport as a sparring partner. Currently, only your Treasure-Seeking Ghost meets that condition in our club.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gathering all the information about Crowned Cat, Qiao Sang entered Training Room 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, sitting in the front row of the spectator seats, wearing a sunhat and sunglasses, was a pet beast gracefully eating the club's complimentary fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang froze for a moment. If she hadn't known beforehand that this was Crowned Cat, she wouldn't have recognized it with the hat and sunglasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crown?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crowned Cat turned its head at the sound, tilting it gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, Qiao Sang said, \"Little Treasure, translate for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure appeared, translating in real-time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t say much, just introducing itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming that Little Treasure could teleport, Crowned Cat pulled a phone from the bag beside it with its paw, turned on the camera, and aimed it at the training grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it removed the sunhat and sunglasses and gracefully walked to one side of the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow, it's even recording... Qiao Sang couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Crowned Cat's tamer. In a way, training a pet beast to this level wasn't easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang then focused on Crowned Cat, now fully revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large head, short limbs, a body covered in white fur, and purple eyes. Its small paws and ears were also purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with its graceful curves, a purple hook-shaped tail, and the purple crown on its forehead, the overall impression was just two words:Elegance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crown.\" Crowned Cat called out gracefully, signaling the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Treasure, go ahead.\" Qiao Sang nodded at Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure floated into the training field, disappearing from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang watched Crowned Cat intently, not daring to be careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battle was different from usual; without a beast tamer on the side to give commands, she couldn't react based on the opponent’s orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the sparring partner, she also had to provide advice during the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crowned Cat didn't panic when Little Treasure vanished. It stepped forward with its right paw, releasing a blue energy shield that expanded outwards, stopping at a radius of about 50 centimeters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang paused, recognizing the move as aMystic Guard, a defensive skill that envelops the user in a magical shield, protecting them from abnormal statuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked useful, but its fatal flaw was that it couldn't block abnormal statuses caused by special traits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, for an opponent like Little Treasure, with its ability to phase through, this technique was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the Mystic Guard, Crowned Cat raised its head elegantly, as if saying:Come here if you dare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure reappeared, curiously approaching the blue energy shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended a small claw, poking at the glowing shield. The spot he touched rippled, and his claw passed right through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost Seeker tilted his head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, his entire body phased through the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure blinked innocently at Crowned Cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crown!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Crowned Cat's fur bristled, losing all its grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had clearly never encountered anything like this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was Qiao Sang's turn to step in. She cleared her throat and explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Mystic Guard can block interference skills, but it's ineffective against fast or specially-abled opponents.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Little Treasure had teleported close to you and launched an attack, you wouldn’t have even had time to release your shield before taking damage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crown...\" Crowned Cat stared blankly at Qiao Sang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the moment, Little Treasure stuck out his tongue, ready to lick Crowned Cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just 0.05 centimeters away, Crowned Cat leaped back and raised its right paw, signaling for a time-out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crown!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1142,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.563Z",1,"novelbin.me","3ef40fcf594648954a941c09904cc9c6f64a4b551aedf9e40d08ea253d111053","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-183","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-181",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
