Chapter 47: Suck-suck Ghost Treasure

Following the news anchor's report, the corresponding surveillance footage appeared in the upper left corner.

The surveillance camera was quite far from the alley entrance, only capturing a distant figure, and zooming in made it somewhat blurry.

But one could still roughly make out a young girl and a red pet beast.

Her mother squinted at the television and asked, "Why does this person look a bit like you?"

Qiao Sang forced herself to stay calm and said, "Probably because all good-looking people look about the same."

Mother: "……"

Fire Tooth Dog finished the water in the cup in big gulps, and the moment it looked up, it saw the footage playing.

"Yaya!"

"Yaya!"

Fire Tooth Dog pointed at the television with its paw, its face full of astonishment.

Logically speaking, Fire Tooth Dog shouldn't be that timid.

……

4,663 Alliance Coins.

Of course, these were basically all delivered by pet beasts, and the beast masters themselves didn't need to deliver them in person.

Two minutes later.

The place she needed to deliver to was the sub-district office on Jiangyi Street, which wasn't very far from her home.

"Yaya!"

Everything could only rely on one's own efforts.

She only bought three bottles of Qiyuan Milk today, and after paying 3,500 Alliance Coins in compensation, her assets were left with only 1,013 Alliance Coins.

"Yaya!"

Qiao Sang turned over and said, "Let me sleep a little longer."

After politely baring its fangs again, Suck-suck Ghost Treasure floated away.

After a couple of simple operations, Qiao Sang's phone backend displayed a notification that the Didi Speed Delivery courier had arrived.

Seeing that her beast master was still sleeping, Fire Tooth Dog directly pulled the blanket open with its mouth.

"Yaya!"

Learning a new skill wasn't like proficiency—she didn't have any corresponding golden finger for it.

Soon, a phone was fished out.

Unlike the professional delivery workers from her previous life, those who could register for Didi Speed Delivery were all beast masters with spare time.

Her pet beast had gotten up early in the morning to train and even woke her up, enduring the torture of变态辣 (extremely spicy) just to learn the Mars Rain she had casually bluffed about.

……

Ever since winning money on her second bet at the Star Net, Qiao Sang had withdrawn all her cash, afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself and bet again.

That's not what it meant!

It was that it and its beast master had appeared on television!

Mother looked over.

"Ya!!!"

This made her, as a beast master, feel quite ashamed.

How did it get on television?!

Seeing this, her mother asked, "What is Fire Tooth Dog saying?"

She remembered—Suck-suck Ghost Treasure was exactly the character from the ghost movie she had made Fire Tooth Dog watch back then……

Thinking this, she very naturally separated 1,000 Alliance Coins from the 4,663 Alliance Coins on the table to one side.

Fire Tooth Dog darted to the bedside, poking out only its head to look in Suck-suck Ghost Treasure's direction.

……

After taking the envelope and Alliance Coins, Suck-suck Ghost Treasure stuffed them into its body.

Then, from its limbless body, a hand with only two fingers suddenly grew out and knocked on the window.

"Yaya!"

This showed that even if the beast master's brain domain had undergone a second awakening and both pet beasts had evolved into intermediate pet beasts, as long as they hadn't taken the Alliance's E-rank beast master assessment, they still met the registration requirements.

It was hard enough to finally have a vacation after the middle school entrance exam—if she still couldn't sleep until she woke up naturally, what was the point of life.

Qiao Sang handed over a bottle of Qiyuan Milk at the right moment.

How could that terrifying thing from just now appear here!

"Ya!"

If lucky, she might run into a beast master taking the order who had a superpower-type pet beast, and the item could be precisely delivered within 10 seconds.

Fire Tooth Dog only exposed its body after seeing Suck-suck Ghost Treasure leave, frantically questioning its beast master.

"Yaya!"

The next morning.

Qiao Sang returned to her room and counted the money she had left.

Should she make Fire Tooth Dog watch more ghost movies to train it, or take it to a haunted house to play……

Qiao Sang had already registered on the computer last night. She looked at the registration conditions and rules, and didn't hold much hope of getting first place.

Whether delivering food or objects, everything could be delivered quickly.

Fire Tooth Dog used its still hoarse voice to frantically explain.

Fire Tooth Dog's paw trembled slightly as it pointed at the windowsill in the room.

With this much money, rebuilding one wall should be enough...

Qiao Sang opened the window.

Qiao Sang watched from the side, feeling guilty, and the irritation from being woken up that morning had completely vanished.

Qiao Sang did some mental math: the wall Fire Fang Dog had destroyed was only the middle section, so when the time came she only needed to patch the middle part.

Fire Fang Dog had already burned through most of the energy in its body. It stuck out its tongue and came over to its beast master.

After all that fuss, Qiao Sang ultimately didn't get to enjoy the meaning of life.

Suck Ghost Babe floated in, grinned again to show its fangs, then reached its two-fingered hand into its own body and rummaged around.

Qiao Sang handed over the envelope and 150 Alliance Coins.

After buying the Super Ultra Mega Spicy Roasted Wings and Qiyuan Milk, she only had 689 Alliance Coins left.

It was still yesterday's open pet beast training ground.

Qiao Sang looked in that direction.

After estimating the compensation money, Qiao Sang took out paper and pen and spent over half an hour writing a letter of repentance of about 500 words.

Qiao Sang answered: "It says the people on TV are good-looking."

The Hundred New Competition is an event that any F-rank beast master can sign up for.

Qiao Sang was woken up by Fire Fang Dog's barking.

Didi Express Delivery is a relatively fast and efficient way to send goods within the same city.

She saw a ball-sized black pet beast clinging to the outside of the window, a pair of dark-red eyes staring fixedly at her.

Fire Fang Dog inexplicably felt a chill and shivered without thinking.

Qiao Sang listened to Fire Fang Dog's words and fell into thought.

Seeing Qiao Sang look at it, it grinned and revealed a pair of snow-white fangs.

"Fang!"

Fire Fang Dog clearly looked determined to win the Mars Rain, but it was almost impossible for a beginner pet beast to learn a high-level skill.

In other words, the June 30th event only allows F-rank beast masters to sign up.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Qiao Sang was startled.

Qiao Sang translated: "It says I'm right."

This money would be gone in two days at most.

Putting the letter of repentance and 3500 Alliance Coins in an envelope, Qiao Sang picked up her phone and called Didi Express Delivery.

Fire Fang Dog: "..."

Qiao Sang couldn't think of any solution for the moment.

Fire Fang Dog barked energetically, showing no sign of the weak and frightened state from last night.

Didi Express Delivery requires the user to set a service fee. If the other party agrees, they'll accept the order. Qiao Sang had set it at 150 Alliance Coins.

Fire Fang Dog didn't seem to have much courage...

Fire Fang Dog took a bite of the Super Ultra Mega Spicy Roasted Wings and practiced breathing fire.

Qiao Sang steadied herself — it turned out to be a Suck Ghost Babe.

As a Ghost-type pet beast, suddenly appearing is pretty scary, but Fire Fang Dog seemed to be overreacting a bit.

"Fang!"

Qiao Sang could only place her hopes on the upcoming Hundred New Competition.

So Fire Fang Dog remembered it until now?

How is it supposed to fight Ghost-type pet beasts in the future?

"Fang fang!"

Some beast masters use their free time to take orders and earn some extra cash.

Looking at it this way, graduating middle school examinees who just awakened as beast masters would only be making up the numbers if they signed up.

The role was most likely just to add some buzz to the Hundred New Competition.

Qiao Sang held no hope for first place, but was determined to be in the top ten.

After all, past tenth place, forget an Evolution Stone Motorcycle, there wasn't even a single Alliance Coin...
