Chapter 252: I Have Something to Tell You

Register?

Shi Gaofeng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to ask Xu Yajie, who was nearby directing the training of the Force-Head Duck: "You said she went to register something?"

Xu Yajie thought for a moment and said: "I don't know, but it probably wasn't to register a pet beast."

Shi Gaofeng couldn't help rolling his eyes at him: "No kidding, you don't need to tell me that."

Qiao Sang already had two pet beasts; if she went to register again, that would be a third. Anyone with half a brain could figure out it was impossible.

Hanggang Beast Center.

Window 10.

Qiao Sang handed over her number slip and information card, saying: "Hello, I'm here to register a pet beast."

It was already one minute past the Beast Center's closing time. Logically speaking, the staff could refuse to handle the business, pack up, and head home.

But the female staff member at Window 10 still enthusiastically greeted Qiao Sang.

Staff members with this kind of good attitude, who couldn't bear to let a customer wait in vain over a one- or two-minute time difference, were basically newcomers to the workplace, still full of passion and freshness toward their jobs.

"Okay."

The staff member smiled and took the information card, placing it on the scanner.

Smiling like this all day had already made her smile slightly stiff, but soon this muscle-memory smile could no longer be maintained.

The staff member stared at the information displayed on the computer, her mind somewhat blank.

Fifteen years old?

Two pet beasts?

What did she just say? She wants to register another one?

Qiao Sang had gone through pet beast registration twice before and knew the next steps. Without waiting for the other to speak, she formed hand seals and summoned Lulu Yana, ready for the upcoming confirmation.

A green star array lit up outside the window, nearly blinding the staff member.

Actually, a green star array wasn't rare at all. Not to mention green—even the red star array representing B-rank beast masters could be seen from time to time in a beast center full of beast masters.

But a beast master with a green star array who was only a fifteen-year-old Gao Zhongsheng—that was terrifying.

Fifteen years old, just the age when one becomes a beast master, and her star array is already green?!

It took the staff member a long time to find her voice:

"Hello, please place the pet beast at the window so I can scan it."

One of the assessments for this job was to recognize all the pet beasts in one's own region. If you encountered pet beasts from other regions or ones you didn't recognize, you could use the identifier to scan and confirm.

The staff member took one look and was certain this was definitely not a pet beast from the Yuhua region.

If the Yuhua region had such a cute pet beast, it would have gone viral long ago.

It also wouldn't be the case that someone like her, who had specifically memorized the "Complete Guide to Pet Beasts of the Yuhua Region," wouldn't recognize it.

Qiao Sang placed Lulu Yana on the window counter.

Lulu Yana glanced at the human in front of her, bored, half-sat down, and raised her right front paw to lick it.

The staff member pointed the identifier at the light-blue pet beast and scanned it.

Soon, a virtual screen about 5 inches in size appeared above the identifier.

At the same time, a mechanical electronic voice sounded:

【Lulu Yana, a water-type beginner pet beast on the verge of extinction from the Ancient Mist Region. The gem on its forehead can release miraculous healing light.】

Staff member: "!

!"

The staff member was completely stunned. Her body, originally exhausted from working too long, instantly surged with adrenaline.

On the verge of extinction?!

The kind where there aren't even a few in the whole world?!

The staff member took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, and began registering the information.

"Hello, please keep your information card safe." After finishing the registration, the staff member handed the information card back with both hands.

"Thank you." Qiao Sang said, preparing to take the information card.

But when she pulled, she found she couldn't pull it back.

She was stunned for a moment, pulled again, still couldn't pull it back.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang looked up, puzzled.

"I'm sorry." The staff member hurriedly let go, apologizing.

"It's fine." Qiao Sang put the information card into her pocket.

Before she could even turn to leave, the staff member hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking at this moment: "I've never seen a pet beast on the verge of extinction before. Could you let me take a photo?"

"Sure." Qiao Sang said readily.

Qiao Sang was already used to people wanting to take photos of her pet beasts. After all, Ya Bao used to often be surrounded and photographed.

Besides, the staff member in front of her had stayed past closing time to handle her business. Her first impression was simply perfect. It was just a photo—there was no reason to refuse.

The staff member excitedly picked up her phone, opened the camera, and snapped a photo of Lulu Yana, who was still licking her paw.

Then she suddenly thought of something, quietly moved her phone up, and included the girl at the window in the shot as well.

A beast master with a green star array at fifteen years old—she was no less rare than a pet beast on the verge of extinction. She would definitely become a top-tier figure in the future!

Tianjing Yuan, Unit 1705.

Qiao Sang sat at her desk, skillfully turned on the computer, and began browsing posts discussing how to train Rain Prayer.

Although she wasn't in a hurry, Lulu Yana kept urging her. Within one hour of arriving home, she had already asked three times.

Thinking that tomorrow was the weekend and homework wasn't due urgently, Qiao Sang turned on the computer.

There were quite a few posts discussing the Rain Prayer skill.

After all, the Rain Summoning skill has wide uses — anyone who knows it will be welcome anywhere.

Qiao Sang casually tapped open a post and gave it a cursory glance.

【Anyone with a shred of common sense knows that a high-level skill like Rain Summoning requires professional training. Discussing it online will only get you a few training institutions' contact info.】

【You understand jack squat! No money! No money! Do I have to spell it out that plainly?!】

Qiao Sang felt a sudden stab to the heart. Without reading further, she switched to a more popular post, where many netizens were replying.

【No idea which idiot said to take your pet beast somewhere it rains year-round so it could feel it out. I went, and "feeling it out" lasted over three months. My pet beast never learned Rain Summoning, but I got arthritis.】

【Don't even get me started. Another idiot said to take your pet beast to a chronically dry place and force it to perform. I went, stayed half a month, and my pet beast went from "mm-mm-mm" to "AAARGH" — it's one bite away from biting me.】

That's rough... After reflecting, Qiao Sang kept scrolling down.

【Once you have the qualities of a charlatan — devout, and preferably able to dance — you can communicate with heaven and earth, and Rain Summoning will surely succeed!】

【Having fun being cheeky upstairs?】

【If you want rain, you need dark clouds. I think we need to figure out how to get a pet beast to form dark clouds first.】

【I know this one — dark clouds are condensed from fog droplets. When fog droplets are dense enough, white clouds turn into dark clouds.】

【We all know that, it's common sense. The question is how to get a pet beast to condense fog droplets.】

Fog droplets... Qiao Sang stared at the constantly refreshing posts, her thoughts racing.

She didn't know about other pet beasts, but Water Lulu Yana knew Water Mist. Water Mist and fog droplets were just a matter of diffusion versus condensation — she could absolutely start training and give it a try!

These netizens are all geniuses!

Less than five minutes online and she'd already gotten such a great lead!

Qiao Sang stood up, about to call out for Water Lulu Yana, but stopped when she remembered it should be practicing Healing Light beside Little Treasure Ghost right now.

Better not disturb Water Lulu Yana's practice...

Water Lulu Yana only has about 10 days left before it evolves with the boost of points. Currently the heaviest priority is to get its Healing Light to the Profound level before then.

And then there's Lovesick...

Qiao Sang thought for a moment, then went out and called Ya Bao into the room.

"Ya!"

Ya Bao wagged its tail, staring at Qiao Sang with dewy eyes.

Qiao Sang was silent for a long moment, then finally spoke:

"I have something to tell you. It's about Water Lulu Yana."

PS: Still one chapter short. I think I can make it up tomorrow.....
