I require full payment upfront. Do you accept?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang’s first thought was:Damn, that’s so cheap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, borrowing material-related books for the vice principal cost her 5 credits per day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her second thought was:Let’s test the waters, maybe I can get a discount...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, she typed: [I’ll buy in bulk. Could you give me a discount?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About a minute later, the other party replied: [No discount on the credits, but I’ll throw in one extra B-grade Fire Washing Potion.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A treatment course required 10 bottles. Effects started showing after three courses, so an extra bottle... was it even useful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang grumbled inwardly but still replied: [Deal.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already considered the credits a nice surprise. Soon, she would be leaving Yulianton University, so hoarding credits would be a waste anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After morning classes ended, students began filing out of the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang remained in her seat, quietly waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao looked up with a puzzled expression.Not leaving yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said you wanted to train your fire energy’s temperature.” Qiao Sang explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bought a Fire Washing Potion, it increases fire energy’s temperature. Someone’s delivering it soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao’s eyes lit up at her words. He wagged his tail like crazy and happily rubbed his head against his Beast master’s cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gang Slice…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gangbao watched silently from the side. When she saw her Beast master enjoying the moment, she couldn’t help imagining herself in Yabao’s place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… her own head was so hard. If she tried rubbing like that, her expression definitely wouldn’t look like that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a tall, black-haired, black-eyed upperclassman walked into the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heavy dark circles under her eyes, a clear sign of frequent all-nighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her was a one-meter-tall monkey-type beast, carrying a backpack. Its fur was nearly all white, and it too had prominent dark circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang immediately recognized her: The one who accepted the task, Leona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl walked straight over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brainy Monkey, General-level Normal-type pet beast. Excellent memory. Rumored to possess intelligence on par with humans...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qiao Sang recalled its info, she prepared to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, a voice, same tone as Little Treasure, rang out: [Let me take a look~ Brainy Monkey. General-level, Normal-type pet. Super high IQ. When it thinks, it tilts its head back to boost brain cell flexibility. Summary: Smart, but sucks at fighting.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brainy Monkey silently glanced toward the space where the Pet Beast Identifier had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, it vanished again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leona didn’t seem to hear the identifier’s voice. Calmly, she confirmed: “You’re Qiao Sang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s me.” Qiao Sang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here are your 31 bottles of Fire Washing Potion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the Brainy Monkey placed its black backpack on the desk and unzipped it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang glanced inside, all of them were potions filled with bright red liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brainy Monkey began setting the bottles out on the table one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Count them.” Leona said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need, she’d watched the monkey take them out one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang said, “No need to count. I trust you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap, yap, yap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao, however, raised a paw and began counting each bottle seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leona was briefly stunned. She hadn’t expected that kind of reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brainy Monkey pulled a few sheets of paper from the backpack and handed them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are the appraisal certificates for the Fire Washing Potions.” Leona said, her tone softening, like someone who’d finally slept after a long night. Her mood visibly brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang took them, skimmed through, then picked up her phone and transferred the credits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve sent the credits. Check it on your end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leona didn’t take out her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I trust you too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, no, check it! You're making me feel awkward here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll head out first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked toward where Little Treasure was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Brainy Monkey glanced at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure grinned back with a friendly smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brainy Monkey: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao remained completely unfazed by the mood, his eyes glowing blue as he carefully floated the potions back into the backpack one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait.” Leona suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leona glanced at Yabao, speaking calmly: “I don’t know when your Fire Qilu evolved, but I know it’s a General-level beast. If you’re having it take the Fire Washing Potion, I suggest waiting a bit longer. B-grade Fire Washing Potions are best suited for late-General-level or King-level beasts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Using it at early- to mid-General level will cause immense pain, and may even leave hidden injuries.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao had just put all the potions into the bag and was about to take one out when he heard this. Silently, he retracted his paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang thought for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if we apply healing during the process?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leona fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Qiao Sang was basically a celebrity at Yulianton. Everyone discussed her and her beasts, including their rank and skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Leona knew she had an Ice Aipalu with Healing Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by her question, Qiao Sang clearly intended to use Healing Light while Fire Qilu took the potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To use an super-tier healing skill just to relieve potion pain…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a scene was hard to even imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leona hesitated, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That would work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang finally relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One minute later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao sat on the ground with a serious expression, opened a red potion bottle, and downed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao stood beside him, watching closely and ready to heal at a moment’s notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About three minutes passed. Yabao swayed his tail and blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where was the pain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t feel anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe it takes longer to kick in.” Qiao Sang said, uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao immediately straightened up with renewed seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later, his expression finally changed, like he was enduring something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lubao.” Qiao Sang called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Ai~” Lubao responded, signaling understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gurgle…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she began gathering energy to cast Healing Light, a sound came from Yabao’s belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao finally flopped onto the ground, unable to endure any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was hungry…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao: …\u003C\u002Fp>",1062,"2026-06-06T02:23:28.070Z",1,"novelbin.me","ed7b6d4446a209b07b94c41485b345fc24a32168bc7b63ba1e65ed710cb2e7a3","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-818","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-816",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
