It was Aunt Wang who opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they hadn’t met many times and hardly talked, Qiao Sang remembered her mother’s few friends and easily recognized Aunt Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Wang stood there, staring in stunned silence. She scanned Qiao Sang from head to toe, her gaze lingering on Yabao and Little Treasure-Seeking Ghost before she finally exclaimed in disbelief, \"Qiao Sang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie, it’s me. My mom asked me to bring something over.” Qiao Sang replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang recalled seeing her baby-faced, flat-chested reflection in the mirror that morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young lady?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still just a little girl…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie, this is what my mom asked me to bring you.” Qiao Sang said as she sat down on the sofa and gave Little Treasure-Seeking Ghost a knowing look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding perfectly, Little Treasure-Seeking Ghost took out some local specialties from its ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your mom, honestly... It’s already nice of her to send you over. Why bring gifts? No need to be so polite!” Aunt Wang said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then stood up, poured two cups of tea, and set them on the coffee table, looking ready for a long chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard from your mom that you got into Shengshui High School?” Aunt Wang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm.” Qiao Sang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And she also mentioned that you just graduated and already won first place in a competition?” Aunt Wang probed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm.” Qiao Sang wasn’t surprised that her mom had shared these details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out Xiangting wasn’t lying after all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, I questioned her on the phone, and today, she sent her daughter to prove me wrong...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Aunt Wang didn’t feel as proud of her own son anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you usually eat?” Aunt Wang asked suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? I eat whatever my mom cooks.” Qiao Sang answered, caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like I’ll have to get Xiangting’s meal plan...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then listen to her brag for half the day…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s your daily routine?” Aunt Wang continued with the questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang blinked.Why did this feel like a doctor questioning a patient?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could respond, Aunt Wang asked a series of other questions in rapid succession:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you take any tutoring during your third year of middle school?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does Fire Fang Dog usually eat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you and Fire Fang Dog get along?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My son wanted to bond with a fire-type pet as his first, but I said no. Do you think a fire-type would be good as his second?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got it—this was an interview.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Politely declining Aunt Wang’s offer to stay for dinner, Qiao Sang headed out and immediately called her mother to report that her mission was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother was quite pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang rode her bike back to her family’s old home. Yabao was still leisurely sipping milk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiyuan Milk could restore a pet’s stamina, but its effects weren’t immediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao had downed several bottles but still hadn’t returned to full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With too much free time, training on the old schedule from Hanggang would be a waste of the summer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang soon came up with a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone now flush with cash, she went back to her room and ordered 30 bottles of F-grade Energy Recovery Elixir online. F-grade elixirs were meant to restore energy in beginner-level pets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For city dwellers, energy recovery elixirs weren’t necessary, as pets could recover naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In competitions, the organizers would provide all the necessary treatments, so Beastmasters rarely had to buy their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main buyers of energy recovery elixirs were Beastmasters headed to secret realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since beginner-level pets were almost useless in these secret realms, F-grade elixirs weren’t in high demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, both their sales and prices were much lower compared to higher-grade elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, each bottle of F-grade Energy Recovery Elixir still cost 2,000 Alliance Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Beastmasters whose pets didn’t have healing abilities, these elixirs could be lifesavers in secret realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like most girls who love online shopping, Qiao Sang couldn’t stop after buying the recovery elixirs. She began browsing other items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no money before, but now that she did, she intended to make full use of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying on her bed, Qiao Sang scrolled through her phone, with Little Treasure-Seeking Ghost floating over, curiously peering at the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phone displayed items related to fire-type pets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang wanted to buy Yabao a tool that would accelerate the absorption of fire-type energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such tools were always in high demand on the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sped up energy absorption, shortening the pet’s growth cycle and helping it evolve more quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yabao had a golden finger, it couldn’t battle 24\u002F7, nor win every fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An extra energy-boosting tool would be very helpful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, these tools reduced the time needed for pets to release skills of the corresponding attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though pets weren’t allowed to wear such items during competitions, they could certainly use them outside of battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After browsing for a while, Qiao Sang settled on an E-grade Fire Condensing Orb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price of pet-related tools varied greatly, depending not only on their grade but also on who made them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the tool was made by a renowned master, even an F-grade item could cost more than a D-grade item crafted by a lesser-known Beastsmith, despite both being Alliance-certified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang carefully chose a shop with excellent reviews and credibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long chat with customer service, where she promised to leave glowing reviews and post beautiful photos, she finally purchased the orb for 120,000 Alliance Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the shop gave her a discount, she still felt it was too expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an E-grade tool made by an unknown Beastsmith cost this much, who could afford the higher-level B-grade or A-grade items?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the wealthiest Beastmasters were always the strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the rich could buy tools as easily as toys, the less fortunate had to treat every purchase like a life-or-death decision.How could they possibly compete?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Qiao Sang was about to exit the online store and browse elsewhere, a tiny gray paw appeared on her phone screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head to find Little Treasure-Seeking Ghost staring at her with big, watery eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seeeek~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure Seeker cooed, begging softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re still too young. I’ll buy something for you in a month.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure-Seeking Ghost blinked in confusion, then removed its ring and expertly handed Qiao Sang a bottle of milk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seeeek~ Seeeek.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>",1196,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.287Z",1,"novelbin.me","3e80ff9116b2bb427c259d5ff8cb41aac81cbce720f355355e0814302e8ded0f","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-82","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-80",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
