Chapter 168: I'm Here to Issue a Task

Deep in the night.

Qiao Sang finished washing up, leaned on the bed with half-wet hair, and checked the Beast Taming Codex, her line of sight stopping on a few lines.

【Name: Flame-Listening Dog】

【Level: Mid-level (1255/)+】

【Points: 1656】

During this period, Like Ya Bao fought with the Water-Dew-Dew Yana every day, and there was a 50-point bonus every day. Today, it defeated two Ghost-type pet beasts, adding a total of 470 points.

It seems the points for defeating high-level pet beasts across levels should be around 200.

"Wait, wasn't the level value only 1205 yesterday?"

Qiao Sang looked at the level column and was stunned for a moment. The last time the level value rose sharply was when Like Ya Bao defeated the Scale-Weighing Ghost.

That time, it experienced a tragic battle and also had an extra Fierce Fire trait, so the value rose by 30 directly.

This time, although it faced two high-level pet beasts, the tragic degree of the battle was far from comparable to the battle against the Scale-Weighing Ghost. The fact that Like Ya Bao almost didn't get injured at all is the best proof.

But why did the level value also increase by 50?

Could it be because of the breakthrough in mental power?

Qiao Sang thought for a while and flipped to the next page.

【Name: Treasure-Hunting Ghost】

【Level: Beginner-level (329/1000)+】

【Points: 20】

This... Qiao Sang was a bit confused.

She saw that although the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's level value didn't rise as much as Like Ya Bao's, it was still 10 points more than the usual daily increase.

This shouldn't be. If Like Ya Bao's increase was because of the breakthrough in mental power, what was the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's for?

Qiao Sang replayed the things that happened throughout the day in her mind and analyzed silently.

The screen froze on the segment where she fed Like Ya Bao and the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost energy pills in the afternoon.

Right, energy pills!

Qiao Sang reacted suddenly.

Pet beasts eating energy pills is itself a means to improve various aspects of themselves. Correspondingly, the phenomenon of the level value increasing is explained.

It seems that the majority of the extra value Like Ya Bao had was indeed because of the breakthrough in mental power.

"I didn't expect that the value added by eating an energy pill would be higher than the total value added by wearing props every day. Beast Tamers really have to rely on money..."

Qiao Sang couldn't help but sigh. She currently bought E-level props for her own pet beasts.

If she had money and could afford S-level props for Like Ya Bao and the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, wouldn't they take off on the spot with their qualifications?

When Qiao Sang's consciousness exited the Beast Taming Codex, she was shocked to find a small puddle of water on the floor.

She saw this puddle of water flowing slowly toward the direction where Like Ya Bao was lying.

Just when it was about to flow to Like Ya Bao's side, Qiao Sang spoke: "That, I remember Like Ya Bao didn't attack you today, right? Water-Dew-Dew Yana."

This puddle of water stiffened, stopped flowing instantly, and then, as if nothing had happened, flowed silently toward the door crack.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Wait." Qiao Sang called it to stop.

The water-form Water-Dew-Dew Yana was stunned for a few seconds, didn't take the milk, and turned to flow toward the door crack.

"Tsk, didn't expect it to be a tsundere."

Qiao Sang sighed after seeing the water flow out.

She had been putting milk at that water pool every day during this period. At first, the milk was intact, but in the next few days, she found that the bottle mouth of the milk had been opened when she came back from school.

Although the amount of milk inside didn't decrease, the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost drank it later and found that it had been mixed with water.

……

The next day.

In the living room.

Qiao Sang and Like Ya Bao looked at each other. After a moment, one person and one beast looked at each other and nodded seriously.

Then, another Flame-Listening Dog that looked exactly the same as it appeared beside Like Ya Bao.

The next second, Like Ya Bao and its clone walked toward the courtyard with steps.

Qiao Sang followed behind, her heart filled with expectation and excitement. Although Like Ya Bao's clone and main body could simultaneously release different skills in the secret room yesterday.

But what if this was an accident?

After all, some things can only be done under stimulating circumstances, and might not be possible when things are calm.

Just like in her previous life, a female classmate in her school had never passed running, and in order to let her pass the physical education exam, her own father put a wolf dog behind her when training her to run.

That female classmate instantly possessed Liu Xiang, surpassed her own limits, and ran a good result that was astonishing, immediately making a harsh statement to become a female version of Liu Xiang, participate in the Olympics, and win glory for the country, and even posted a circle of friends to announce it to everyone.

As a result, on the day of the school physical education exam, there was no wolf dog behind her, and she still failed. After running, she directly set her circle of friends to be visible for three days.

In the courtyard.

The two Flame-Listening Dogs had serious expressions, posing in the same way.

Then, the Flame-Listening Dog on the left opened its mouth slightly, revealing its white sharp teeth, while the Flame-Listening Dog on the right glowed blue in its eyes and looked to the side, finally fixing on the milk that the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost was holding in its hand.

The next second, the sharp teeth of the Flame-Listening Dog on the left were instantly wrapped in scorching flames.

At the same time, the milk held by the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost suddenly flew up and kept moving around the courtyard.

"Success!"

Qiao Sang was ecstatic. Although she had expected Like Ya Bao to succeed, the feeling of seeing it with her own eyes was still very different.

"Like Ya Bao! You..." Qiao Sang looked at Like Ya Bao excitedly, and found that Like Ya Bao was also looking at her excitedly.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Wait..." Before Qiao Sang finished speaking, she was knocked down to the ground by Like Ya Bao, which rushed over excitedly.

The premonition was fulfilled...

"Ya!"

"Ya-ya!"

Like Ya Bao wagged its tail happily, licking its own Beast Tamer's face, completely not noticing that its own Beast Tamer was being pressed so hard it couldn't breathe.

On the other side, the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost used Psychic to catch the milk that had lost control in time, lowered its head to look, and seeing that the milk hadn't decreased, drank it leisurely again.

In the water pool, the Water-Dew-Dew Yana half-exposed its eyes, watching everything that happened.

……

2:12 PM.

Beast Taming Center.

Third floor, task hall.

Qiao Sang hung up the number and was just about to find a seat to sit down when she saw a familiar face.

Crew cut, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wheat-colored skin—isn't that Shi Gaofeng from the school team in the second year of high school?

"What a coincidence, you finished your task too?" Qiao Sang walked up and greeted him.

Where would she have thought that Shi Gaofeng would directly step back in fright, looking around in a panic.

Seeing that there were no other people around, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "What a coincidence, why did you come? Isn't the task already handed over?"

Qiao Sang saw that his behavior was strange but didn't expose him, and answered: "I'm here to collect the reward. The task issuer put the reward in the Beast Taming Center. What about you?"

Shi Gaofeng hesitated, and said: "I'm here to issue a task." ===== CHAPTER 169 =====

Beast Taming Center.

Third-floor mission hall.

Just as Qiao Sang finished getting her number and was about to find a seat, she saw a familiar face.

A crew cut, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wheat-colored skin—isn't that Shi Gaofeng from the sophomore school team?

"What a coincidence, you finished your mission too?" Qiao Sang walked up and greeted him.

Who would have thought Shi Gaofeng would be so startled he took a step back, looking around in a panic.

Seeing there was no one else nearby, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "What a coincidence. Why are you here? Didn't you already finish handing in your mission?"

Seeing his strange behavior, Qiao Sang didn't expose him and replied, "I'm here to collect my reward. The mission poster left the reward at the Beast Taming Center. What about you?"

Shi Gaofeng hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm here to post a mission."
