Chapter 1042: If you evolve now

After Teacher Teacher Mi Jiala leaves, Qiao Sang returns to her room and starts reading the books she redeemed from the library.

Although the pet beast impersonating Little Xunbao has been identified, points spent are points spent. Even if the time for borrowing the books hasn't expired, they can't be returned, so it's better to seize the time to read and enrich her knowledge.

Time passes. After she finishes reading two books, she discovers that Like Ya Bao and the others haven't returned yet, so she can't help but pick up her phone and look at the time:

23:32.

It's actually this late... Qiao Sang gets up, preparing to go out. As she looks up, she sees Guinaoke with its claw still inside the screen, so she can't help but ask:

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Guigui?"

Guinaoke turns its head, revealing a puzzled expression.

Immediately, it remembers something, pulls its claw out of the screen, and starts typing with a clatter.

Qiao Sang walks closer to take a look. It is written:

【Didn't you say work for a day?】

Qiao Sang is stunned for a moment: "Are you planning to work 24 hours a day?"

"Guigui." Guinaoke nods.

Suddenly feeling that these 18 points were spent very worthily, what's going on... Qiao Sang sighs inwardly, then asks again:

"Can you stay awake for 24 hours without sleeping?"

Guinaoke types: 【As long as I have electricity, I can work continuously.】

No wonder there are so many attributes of pet beasts, and only the Mechanical type can build a separate academy. It's a pity that my mechanical knowledge is zero, and I don't have that much time to spend on learning and manufacturing Mechanical-type pet beasts... Qiao Sang feels a bit regretful and says:

"Thank you for your hard work."

Guinaoke looks at the human who said it worked hard and types again:

【If you think I work hard, can you continue to find me if there is work in the future?】

Qiao Sang is stunned again: "Do you need work?"

Guinaoke: 【I need points.】

Qiao Sang smiles: "Shouldn't it be your Beast Tamer who needs points?"

Guinaoke: 【My Beast Tamer has too many things to do, and my evolution requires too many resources. Points can be exchanged for resources, so I need points.】

Qiao Sang's heart moves, and she asks:

"So you go out to earn points yourself?"

"Guigui."

Guinaoke nods.

Pet beasts earning points themselves, why didn't I think of that? It can save time, earn points, and exercise the pet beast's own abilities... However, among Like Ya Bao and the others, Little Xunbao and Gangbao should be the only ones suitable for going out to earn points alone. After all, Like Ya Bao is prone to causing trouble, Lubao definitely wouldn't want to deal with outsiders casually, and Qingbao is still too young, simple, and easy to be deceived, and it's also a legendary pet beast, very easy to be kidnapped...

As various thoughts flicker, a loud "Boom" sounds outside, causing Qiao Sang's thoughts to stop abruptly.

She leaves behind a sentence, "Don't worry, I'll definitely find you for jobs finding people and pet beasts in the future," then walks quickly out the door toward the open-air training ground.

"Guigui."

Guinaoke contentedly continues to reach its claw into the screen.

Open-air training ground.

When Qiao Sang arrives here, the first thing she sees is Little Xunbao fully revived, drinking milk while gesturing to Gangbao with its short toes, saying "Xunxun".

"Steel Sword..."

Gangbao slowly spreads its wings, entering a state of being about to attack.

"Aren't you guys resting yet?" Qiao Sang asks.

"Yaya!" Like Ya Bao, who was full of sleepiness, sees its Beast Tamer and instantly perks up, running over excitedly.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao appears beside its Beast Tamer, yawns, and lets out a cry, indicating that Little Xunbao still wants to practice.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao lets out a cry full of spirit, indicating that's right, it wants to practice!

Seeing this, Qiao Sang finds it both funny and gratifying.

She has never seen Little Xunbao train so hard. In the past, when it trained most crazily, it was combined with computer games. Unlike now, it's pure training.

"Is your energy still enough?" Qiao Sang asks.

Little Xunbao's energy is currently unstable, so it can't eat anything related to energy, and naturally, it can't take energy recovery agents.

"Xunxun~"

Little Xunbao lets out a cry, indicating that it rested half an hour ago and recovered a little.

Qiao Sang sighs and says:

"Rest first. We must combine work and rest. Let's practice again tomorrow morning."

"Yaya..."

As soon as these words are spoken, Like Ya Bao yawns.

It has long wanted to sleep.

"Ice Emperor."

Lubao has no opinion and nods.

Gangbao says nothing, only flies to its Beast Tamer's side.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao sees Like Ya Bao and the others looking like they all want to sleep, remembers that they are different from it and all need to sleep at night, so it has to compromise and nod.

That's all it can do.

2:03 AM.

Little Xunbao is on the bed, holding its phone, repeatedly looking at the trending searches about the Clothes-Changing Totem and the comments below.

【No wonder it couldn't be found for more than half a year. It turns out it was the Clothes-Changing Totem all along.】

【This Clothes-Changing Totem's IQ is really high. It can actually speak human language. If it hadn't transformed back into the Clothes-Changing Totem's appearance, I really wouldn't believe it.】

【Is the Public Security Bureau useless? They couldn't even find out that the Ghost Ring King was transformed from the Clothes-Changing Totem, and it had to be revealed by the Ghost Ring King's Beast Tamer.】

【I said long ago that the Ghost Ring King wasn't actually the Ghost Ring King. The Ghost Ring King is only a General-tier pet beast. How could it strip off Olson Velasquez's clothes and throw them to the police station? He is a C-tier bounty hunter with three General-tier pet beasts.】

【Indeed, if it were the real Ghost Ring King, it definitely couldn't have done this. In the video, it wasn't even a match for the Clothes-Changing Totem in one move.】

【Sigh, I would rather it really be the Ghost Ring King. Although it is a Ghost-type pet beast, it is only General-tier, much easier to deal with than the King-tier Clothes-Changing Totem.】

Little Xunbao silently closes its phone, looks at its Beast Tamer and Like Ya Bao and the others with their eyes closed, and gets up to float toward the door.

At the same time, Qiao Sang opens her eyes, looks at Little Xunbao's departing back, and sighs inwardly.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao arrives at the open-air training ground and begins to continuously release various skills.

It thinks of the scene of itself being instantly killed by the Clothes-Changing Totem being broadcast repeatedly on TV, and thinks of everyone's comments on the trending search. Its mouth gets more and more puffed up with anger, and the power of the skills it releases gets greater and greater.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounds:

"You really came here to train."

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao turns its head and sees its Beast Tamer, who should have been sleeping soundly in bed, and is stunned for a moment.

"Why, are you surprised to see me?" Qiao Sang asks with a smile.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao shakes its head, then thinks of something, and quickly lets out a cry, indicating that its energy has almost recovered now.

"I know." Qiao Sang says.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao thinks of something again, lets out a cry full of guilt, indicating, did I wake you up?

"No." Qiao Sang says warmly: "It's that I can't sleep. You forgot, in order to continue reading, I had Lubao cast a Healing Light on me when I was extremely sleepy."

"Xunxun~"

Little Xunbao's expression turns from cloudy to sunny.

It remembers.

Qiao Sang waves her hand, pretending to be helpless, and says:

"I can't sleep, so I guess I can only accompany you to train."

"Xunxun~"

Little Xunbao is stunned for a moment, then its eyes light up, and it nods.

It feels full of motivation to train now, a motivation different from before.

"Ice Emperor."

Just as Little Xunbao is circulating energy, preparing to train, Lubao's voice sounds.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao turns its head blankly.

"You didn't sleep either?" Qiao Sang looks in the direction of the sound, both surprised and unsurprised.

Several times before she went to sleep, she saw Lubao with its eyes closed in the water tank, but cold air was radiating from its body. She understood that it looked like it was sleeping, but it was actually practicing, and it probably had cast Healing Light on itself to increase training time.

"Ice Emperor." Lubao nods, then looks at Little Xunbao and lets out a cry, indicating that it couldn't sleep either and could accompany it to practice.

Lubao is still as cold on the outside and warm on the inside as ever... Qiao Sang sighs inwardly.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao hears this and looks moved.

At this moment, Qiao Sang remembers the important matter and says:

"Find the energy real-time detection bracelet and wear it on your hand, so it's convenient to see if the energy has stabilized."

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao immediately takes off the ring, searches inside for a long time, and finally finds a white energy real-time detection bracelet and wears it on its claw.

The moment it puts it on, the data on it jumps wildly and doesn't stabilize.

Qiao Sang takes a look and doesn't say much, starts letting Little Xunbao and Lubao train, finds a safe place to watch while holding the book she brought from the room, and occasionally looks up to give Little Xunbao a few pointers.

Time passes second by second.

The sky begins to brighten.

Opening her hearing, she can hear the sound of people walking and talking outside the villa area.

Qiao Sang picks up her phone to check the time, then looks at Little Xunbao and Lubao who are still training, closes the book, gets up, and walks into the kitchen to start preparing breakfast.

After preparing, she comes to the room and sees Like Ya Bao and the others still sleeping. Just as she wants to go out, her gaze falls on Guinaoke, who is still reaching its claw into the computer screen not far away. She lowers her voice and asks:

"Do you need to eat energy pills?"

"Guigui?"

Guinaoke scans Like Ya Bao, Gangbao, and Qingbao, points at itself, and lets out a cry with a puzzled expression.

Qiao Sang understands what it means and nods: "I'm just asking you."

Guinaoke starts typing:

【Thank you, I don't need to eat energy pills.】

Qiao Sang walks closer to take a look, says nothing, and turns to leave.

Guinaoke follows out, holding the laptop.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang asks.

Guinaoke puts the computer on the dining table and types with a clatter:

【I have already locked onto several targets, do you want to go take a look first?】

Qiao Sang looks at Little Xunbao, who is still training outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and says:

"Let's forget it for now. Find more, and then conduct an investigation after a while."

Even if the Clothes-Changing Totem is found now, Little Xunbao won't be able to beat it. It's better to let Little Xunbao train for a while longer.

"Guigui."

Guinaoke nods and continues to reach its claw into the computer to start working.

To become an excellent working pet beast, so that the task publisher will want to find it again in the future, the first thing to do is to talk less and do more practical things. Guinaoke knows this truth well.

In the next half day, Qiao Sang and Like Ya Bao and the others accompany Little Xunbao to train.

During this period, Little Xunbao rested twice, both to recover energy.

"Guigui."

At sunset, during Little Xunbao's break, Guinaoke points at the screen and lets out a cry.

Qiao Sang leans in to take a look:

【The time for one day is up. I have marked the locations of all the targets wearing that miniature shrinking bracelet, but there are still many places I haven't checked. Do you need me to stay and continue working?】

With so many targets, it's enough to investigate for a while... Qiao Sang opens the file, looks at the densely marked locations and pet beasts on it, and just as she is about to speak, Little Xunbao, who doesn't know when it came over, lets out a cry:

"Xunxun!"

Yes!

"Guigui." Guinaoke reveals a happy expression for the first time.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"If the number of days is long, can you give a discount?" Qiao Sang asks.

"Guigui."

Guinaoke turns its head to stare at the human in front of it for two seconds, then nods, indicating it can reduce it by two points.

"Steel Sword." Gangbao translates synchronously.

That is 16 points... Qiao Sang calculates subconsciously and asks: "Don't you need to go back and ask your Beast Tamer?"

"Guigui." Guinaoke shakes its head, indicating it's not needed.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao looks at its Beast Tamer with expectation, hoping she can agree.

"Qingqing!"

Just as Qiao Sang is about to speak, Qingbao, who is watching TV on the sofa, lets out a cry.

She turns to look and sees a piece of news playing on the TV.

The young-looking host broadcasts:

"At 4:01 PM today, on Shuanghua Street, the police discovered the traces of the Clothes-Changing Totem and are currently implementing an arrest. Please evacuate personnel near Shuanghua Road as soon as possible..."

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao stares fixedly at the TV.

It was actually found so quickly... Qiao Sang is a bit surprised.

You have to know, when the Clothes-Changing Totem was impersonating the Ghost Ring King before, they searched for more than half a year and didn't find it...

But it makes sense. Before, the Public Security Bureau never thought it was the Clothes-Changing Totem, so they were all looking for it according to Little Xunbao's image. Now that it is confirmed to be the Clothes-Changing Totem, they will naturally search according to the Clothes-Changing Totem's situation, just like she used the purple grape hair accessory to confirm it before...

It seems it's not Little Xunbao's turn to capture the Clothes-Changing Totem...

After all, now that the Clothes-Changing Totem's attributes and tier are known, the police will dispatch corresponding police forces according to its abilities. The Clothes-Changing Totem will likely not be able to escape... Qiao Sang thinks of this and can't help but look at Little Xunbao beside her.

She sees Little Xunbao clenching its claws, staring fixedly at the TV.

Qiao Sang sighs and says:

"Little Xunbao..."

"Xunxun?"

Before she can finish speaking, Little Xunbao lets out a cry, indicating, am I unable to beat this guy now?

Does this even need to be asked... Qiao Sang is silent, unable to bear answering for a moment.

Little Xunbao is so smart, how could it not know it can't beat the Clothes-Changing Totem.

"Yaya!"

Like Ya Bao lets out a cry, indicating that it doesn't matter if you can't beat it, I'll help you beat it!

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao looks dejected, turns around, and floats silently toward the direction of the room.

"Yaya?"

Like Ya Bao scratches its head, not knowing what it said wrong.

At this moment, Qiao Sang says:

"Actually, it's not that there's no way."

Little Xunbao turns its head abruptly.

"If your energy can stabilize and you can evolve now." Qiao Sang looks at Little Xunbao and says seriously:

"You know, your evolution location is right here." ===== CHAPTER 1043 =====
