Chapter 23: See which one you like
Chagui Park, about 6 kilometers away from Qingcheng Jiayuan.
Under the lush plane trees, a slender figure sat cross-legged in the shade, reading a book.
The Fire Tooth Dog had forgotten how many laps it had run around this park.
Every time it was tired from running and returned to its Beast Tamer, it would see its Beast Tamer shouting encouragement with a look of trust, making it always feel that it was very powerful and could continue.
By the time it came back to its senses, it found itself running again...
Xiang Qiaosang closed the book and shook her head at the Fire Tooth Dog moving forward at a turtle's pace not far away.
The Fire Tooth Dog isn't doing well; it's already exhausted after running only ten laps.
Morning runs can't train the Fire Tooth Dog's speed; at most, it exercises its physical fitness and allows Xiang Qiaosang to roughly know where the Fire Tooth Dog's physical limit is.
By the time the Fire Tooth Dog insisted on running to Xiang Qiaosang again, the morning run came to an end.
Xiang Qiaosang handed the Qiyuan milk she had bought early to the Fire Tooth Dog.
Qiyuan milk is a drink provided for pet beasts, considered a brand with a relatively good reputation on the market. It can slightly replenish the pet beast's physical fitness and was bought by Xiang Qiaosang at a breakfast shop on the side of the road that specializes in making food for pet beasts.
The price of things involving pet beasts is always falsely high, but Qiyuan milk has remained the same for decades, never having increased in price since it left the factory, costing only 98 Alliance coins a bottle.
The Fire Tooth Dog stretched out its weak claws to take the milk and drank it gulp by gulp. In a few gulps, the bottle was empty.
"Ya."
The Fire Tooth Dog cast a longing look at Xiang Qiaosang.
Xiang Qiaosang was stunned; she only bought one bottle...
Unable to withstand the Fire Tooth Dog's gaze, Xiang Qiaosang handed over the bean curd she had bought for herself for 3 Alliance coins along the way.
The Fire Tooth Dog looked at the bean curd in front of it, which only had one bite left, and was silent for a while.
"Ya!"
The Fire Tooth Dog's wet eyes were full of accusation.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy you more later," Xiang Qiaosang comforted.
No matter how poor you are, you can't make your pet beast suffer. If you can't satisfy your own pet beast's appetite, how can you let it train well?
We are people with Alliance coins now, aren't we? Isn't it just Qiyuan milk?
Buy it!
Fifteen minutes later.
Xiang Qiaosang fell into deep thought while carrying a large bag of Qiyuan milk.
These Alliance coins should be able to last her for a while...
By the time the Fire Tooth Dog finished drinking three bottles, there were still seven bottles of Qiyuan milk left in the bag.
With four bottles of Qiyuan milk in its stomach, the Fire Tooth Dog finally became energetic, but its limbs were still sore and weak, and it was trembling even when walking.
Seeing this, Xiang Qiaosang didn't let it immediately perform skill release training.
"I'll take you to buy something good," Xiang Qiaosang smiled at the Fire Tooth Dog.
"Ya."
The Fire Tooth Dog's eyes lit up; it was clearly very interested in this good thing.
Vilie Plaza.
The largest shopping center in the Tangxin area, a boutique commercial complex integrating leisure, shopping, dining, and entertainment.
As soon as Xiang Qiaosang arrived, she was stopped by a handsome young man with blue wolf-tail hair.
"Beauty, are you interested in learning how to make your pet beast more charming? Come to our Mengli Pet Beast Styling Studio. We have a professional team of pet beast stylists, and our chief stylist even designed a style for player Luo Gang's Purple Demon Vine."
"Thanks, I'm not interested," Xiang Qiaosang refused.
"Beauty, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Look at my Qingyue Butterfly," the wolf-tail haired young man said, taking a step to the side.
Behind him, a Qingyue Butterfly with blue-purple wings and cyan veins appeared before Xiang Qiaosang.
The Qingyue Butterfly elegantly circled in the air, and the scattered scales refracted dazzling light in the sun.
It's quite good-looking...
Xiang Qiaosang was dazzled by the Qingyue Butterfly in front of her.
The wolf-tail haired young man looked at the girl in front of him, lost in the charm of his own pet beast, and struck while the iron was hot: "How about it? Blue-purple looks good, right? This was adjusted by our stylist according to the Qingyue Butterfly's preferences. Your Fire Tooth Dog's color is not bad, but it's too lacking in personality. Why not come to our Mengli Pet Beast Styling Studio to design an exclusive look?"
"Ya!"
The Fire Tooth Dog barked at the wolf-tail haired young man with dissatisfaction.
This guy actually said it lacked personality!
With the development of beast taming society, many derivative professions have emerged, most of which serve pet beasts. Pet beast stylist is one of them.
There are millions of pet beasts in the world, and there are all kinds of them, but pet beasts of the same species look about the same, at most with differences in height, weight, and fatness.
With the development of information, heterochromatic pet beasts appeared in the public eye.
If it weren't for the spread of information, a person might not see a heterochromatic pet beast in reality in their entire life.
Scarcity makes things valuable.
Although the value of a heterochromatic pet beast is not yet comparable to a Dragon-type pet beast, the selling price is already enough to rival a Fairy-type pet beast.
If you encounter some rare species, the price might exceed a hundred times more.
Later, the profession of pet beast stylist emerged.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a heterochromatic pet beast; you can dye it heterochromatic.
Although it sounds very good, almost no professional competitive Beast Tamer would choose to dye their pet beast.
The reason is simple.
It fades...
A pet beast will get injured after a match, and losing a layer of fur or fading a bit of skin will make the whole style go to waste.
That's what they say, but there are still some famous Beast Tamers who can't resist the temptation of heterochromia.
Some time ago, player Lin Ruochu used a golden Silver Frost Centipede in the nationally broadcast University Super League, but the first opponent she encountered was the Water-type Impact Bubble Turtle.
Ice-type itself has a great advantage over Water-type.
As a result, under the attack of a high-pressure water gun, most of the gold on the Silver Frost Centipede fell off, looking incredibly embarrassed, which directly affected player Lin Ruochu's mentality and performance, causing her to lose the whole match.
It's true that Xiang Qiaosang was dazzled by the Qingyue Butterfly, but not to the point of letting the Fire Tooth Dog dye its hair and get a style.
How good does this fiery red of the Fire Tooth Dog look!
This person has no eye for beauty.
"No," Xiang Qiaosang refused again.
Seeing her firm attitude, the wolf-tail haired young man didn't waste time and stopped another young woman passing by.
"Beauty, are you interested in learning how to make your pet beast more charming? Come to our Mengli Pet Beast..."
Xiang Qiaosang took the Fire Tooth Dog to a pet beast prop retail store on the third floor.
According to the sign, she came to the product she wanted to buy.
"Come, Fire Tooth Dog, see which one you like," Xiang Qiaosang smiled at the Fire Tooth Dog.
The Fire Tooth Dog looked curiously at the items in front of it.
There were beads on strings, as well as bracelets of different styles and colors.
"Ya."
The Fire Tooth Dog pointed its claw at the blue beads on the string.
Xiang Qiaosang picked up the beads and weighed them; her hand sank 50 centimeters uncontrollably.
"Let's go with the bracelet; this is bad for the cervical spine," Xiang Qiaosang said, looking at the Fire Tooth Dog's neck.
