Chapter 129: Renting a House

"Because they all put their other pet beast in the care of a pet training center," Liu Yao replied.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is it the long-term kind?"

Liu Yao laughed. "Yes. After all, a person's energy is limited. Unless you're a professional Beast Tamer, it's impossible to take care of multiple pet beasts."

"As students on the school team, you have to set aside most of your time to train your pet beasts. If you could put all your time into them, that would be one thing, but you still have to study."

"In this way, it's very difficult for two pet beasts to make progress in every aspect. But if you keep one by your side and put the other in a training center, the efficiency will be much higher."

Qiao Sang nodded.

Indeed, once there are too many pet beasts, sometimes it's impossible to take care of them all.

If a pet beast is left with someone else for training while you are in class, it's very easy to fall behind classmates who haven't trained in terms of time efficiency.

Moreover, pet beasts of different attributes and species have different focuses; some training suitable for one pet beast is not suitable for another.

For example, the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost is not suited for physical or speed training. With its characteristics as a Ghost-type pet beast and the skill 'Teleport', it's already enough to make its movements unpredictable in battle.

Furthermore, its movement and evasion mainly rely on energy rather than physical stamina.

"Do you have any other questions?" Liu Yao asked.

It was rare to have a knowledgeable expert face-to-face to answer her doubts, so Qiao Sang naturally didn't want to waste this opportunity.

On the path of beast taming, without guidance and relying solely on one's own exploration, it is basically impossible to go far.

Even if you have money and resources, you still need someone to tell you how to use them.

Otherwise, it would be like when the Ten Thousand Flame Fruit was placed in front of her, and she foolishly thought it was a fruit for humans to eat.

Although Qiao Sang has a golden finger, if it weren't for Like Ya Bao's high talent and diligence, and the ability to go online to discuss how to learn skills with others, she alone wouldn't have made it to where she is now.

Qiao Sang asked the question that had been weighing on her mind for the past two days: "I've discovered that when Like Ya Bao uses 'Telekinesis', it can't use Fire-type skills. Is it because skills of two different attributes cannot be used at the same time?"

It wasn't that she hadn't looked this up online.

But the explanations online varied, and everyone felt their own made a lot of sense, so she didn't know which was the definitive answer.

Liu Yao was stunned for a long time, not expecting Qiao Sang to ask this question...

He thought for a moment and said, "What you're talking about should be a combo skill. It's possible, but this basically only appears in double battles. If it's just one pet beast performing a combo skill, the difficulty is very high."

"Just taking your Like Ya Bao as an example, setting aside the attribute issue, do you think it can release 'Flamethrower' while simultaneously releasing 'Fire Spin'?"

Qiao Sang shook her head. "Of course not, it only has one mouth."

"By the same logic, when a pet beast is maintaining one skill, it is basically impossible for it to use another skill," Liu Yao laughed. "You can change your way of thinking. Why must skills be released at the same time? As long as a pet beast releases skills fast enough, it can completely form a combo skill."

Qiao Sang asked, "But Psychic-type pet beasts can use skills to attack while maintaining themselves in the air with 'Telekinesis'. So why can't they use other skills when controlling others with 'Telekinesis'?"

"Because using 'Telekinesis' to maintain itself has already become their instinct," Liu Yao said. "When using a skill becomes as simple as breathing, naturally there is energy to do other things."

So that's how it is...

Just as Qiao Sang was chatting with Liu Yao, Like Ya Bao had already circled the private room three times.

Where is the mirror?

What happened to the promised mirror!

There were 9 researchers for the project.

For some reason, 2 fewer people came today. Seeing that the vice-principal didn't ask further, Qiao Sang naturally didn't speak up either.

Basically, no one was eating; they were all surrounding Like Ya Bao, eyes shining as they asked questions.

After finishing the meal and joining a research group, Qiao Sang left the Yuehe Hotel and didn't head toward the school.

Because she had an appointment.

Xingtong Street.

Near Shengshui Middle School.

"You must be Miss Qiao, right?" A young man in his 20s wearing a white shirt flew down riding a Fat Pigeon.

"That's me." Qiao Sang nodded.

"You can just call me Little Wang. I don't know which of the two houses you'd like to see first?" the young man asked.

He unobtrusively glanced at the pet beast beside the girl that stunned him and whose name he couldn't call out.

"The one on Shituo Road," Qiao Sang said.

That one was closer to Shengshui Middle School and was her first choice.

An hour later, Qiao Sang chose the house on Chang'an Road.

There was no other reason; it was just two words: cheap...

The house on Shituo Road was 10,000 Alliance coins a month, while the one on Chang'an Road was only 5,000 Alliance coins a month...

The house on Chang'an Road, whether in terms of area, layout, or renovation, was actually about the same as the one on Shituo Road. When looking online, both houses were around 10,000 Alliance coins.

But the house on Chang'an Road had been changed to an urgent rental two days ago for some reason, so the price had dropped.

After Little Wang's silver-tongued persuasion, Qiao Sang logically rented it.

By the time the lease was signed and the keys were handed over, it was already nearly 10:00 PM.

Qiao Sang didn't rush back to school.

She brought Like Ya Bao to the side of the pool in the courtyard that she was particularly fond of and laughed, "You'll have to make do with looking into the water for now. The mirror here isn't big enough. When we move in tomorrow, I'll buy a large full-length mirror."

Like Ya Bao was so moved it almost cried.

So you did remember!

It thought its Beast Tamer had forgotten!

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao couldn't wait to run to the side of the pool and look down. At this look, it was stunned.

Who is this handsome pet beast?!

"Xun~"

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, which had been hiding invisibly on Qiao Sang's head, floated to the pool and also looked down at its own appearance.

As it looked, it started making faces at its reflection in the pool.

"Ya?"

"Ya ya?"

Like Ya Bao turned its head to look at its Beast Tamer, face full of seriousness.

Qiao Sang's mouth twitched, and she replied, "That's right, this super invincible pervertedly handsome pet beast is you."

This modifier must have been learned from the super invincible pervertedly spicy grilled wings...

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao's eyes lit up, and it turned its head to look excitedly again.

Three minutes later, the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost was tired of playing and floated back onto Qiao Sang's head, while Like Ya Bao was still looking down, admiring itself.

Ten minutes later, Like Ya Bao was still looking.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Like Ya Bao, that's enough. We'll see it more clearly when the mirror is bought tomorrow. Don't look anymore for now; I have a training session I want to try," Qiao Sang said.

This idea was inspired by her conversation with the vice-principal in the evening.

Although it was late now, she just wanted to try it out; it wouldn't waste much time.

"Ya."

Hearing the word 'training', Like Ya Bao immediately turned its head, no longer narcissistic.

"You first create a clone," Qiao Sang said.

Like Ya Bao did as told.

Two identical Yanling Dogs appeared by the pool, indistinguishable from each other.

Qiao Sang picked up a stone from the ground and threw it above the pool.

"Clone, use 'Telekinesis' to control this stone."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Yanling Dog on the left had blue eyes, and the stone stopped falling in mid-air.

Watching the motionless stone, Qiao Sang's heart rate accelerated, and she immediately said, "Now try using your main body to release 'Ember' at it."
