Chapter 83: It's Releasing

~8 min read 1,464 words

"I want to ask you to help me steal something," Ye Ye Jingwen replied.

Oh, not borrowing money, then it's fine.

But stealing something...

Qiao Sang looked at Ye Ye Jingwen with a strange expression; so you're this kind of person...

Ye Ye Jingwen obviously saw what she wanted to express from Qiao Sang's facial expression.

"It's not what you think. I just want you to help me steal a Magnetic Hamster out," Ye Ye Jingwen hurriedly explained.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Steal a pet beast? Did you find the nest of wild Magnetic Hamsters?"

In towns, the control of wild extraordinary creatures isn't as strict as in the city.

Moreover, Qitang Town is near mountains and water, so some wild extraordinary creatures often appear.

Without resources and Beast Tamers, these wild extraordinary creatures are basically in their beginner forms and find it hard to go further.

The town government doesn't manage them much, seeing that they aren't dangerous.

If there's a report from the masses, they'll take action, but if not, they won't specifically patrol and increase their workload for no reason.

This has led some people to smell business opportunities in it.

The capture of wild pet beasts is basically done in secret realms.

Beast Tamers don't necessarily capture wild pet beasts for contracting; it could also be for trading for profit.

If Ye Ye Jingwen found the Magnetic Hamster's nest and wanted Qiao Sang to get a few out to sell, it would be understandable.

Because the Alliance stipulates that only Beast Tamers are allowed to sell wild pet beasts.

Not to mention whether ordinary people can capture wild pet beasts through other methods, even if they do capture one, it's easy for it to break free if they aren't careful, and there's no guarantee or safety to speak of.

However, there were still some things Qiao Sang couldn't figure out.

How can finding a wild pet beast's nest to capture it be called stealing?

This matter can explain why Ye Ye Jingwen didn't ask Ye Ye Ranran for help, because public officials cannot participate in such pet beast trading events.

But didn't she still have a Beast Tamer father?

It makes no sense not to think of her own father first for things that make money.

Before Qiao Sang could figure it out, Ye Ye Jingwen had already explained: "What are you thinking? It's not asking you to go to the Magnetic Hamster's nest to steal; it's that my friend caught a Magnetic Hamster on the mountain, and I want you to steal it out and release it back."

Qiao Sang: "..."

Ye Ye Jingwen continued: "A few days ago, I went up the mountain to see if I could find any Horned Grass, and I ended up running into a Velvet Spider. It was the Magnetic Hamster that came out to save me. If it weren't for it, I guess I'd be lying in the hospital now."

Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.

"Then when I went back, I told my friend about this. He said he'd buy some things the Magnetic Hamster likes to eat and go up the mountain to thank it. As a result, the day we went, the day before yesterday, he actually brought his dad."

Speaking of this, Ye Ye Jingwen was obviously a bit angry: "He lied to me! Saying something about thanking the Magnetic Hamster, but it was actually to catch it."

This didn't sound like a complaint about an ordinary friend, but rather a feeling of hatred for a scumbag.

Ye Ye Jingwen's tone changed, and she blamed herself: "If the Magnetic Hamster didn't still recognize me, it absolutely wouldn't have been so easily tricked out by some food to show itself."

She still remembers the look the Magnetic Hamster gave her at the time.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment and asked: "This friend of yours wouldn't happen to be your boyfriend, would he?"

Ye Ye Jingwen: "!!!"

Seeing Ye Ye Jingwen's shocked expression, Qiao Sang understood everything. She said earnestly: "Puppy love is not good."

She thought Ye Ye Jingwen was devoted to her studies, but she didn't expect that she was balancing study and love...

"He is no longer my boyfriend," Ye Ye Jingwen retorted.

This also indirectly admitted the previous relationship between the two.

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost had been listening to the conversation between the two. Just as Ye Ye Jingwen finished saying this, it took milk out of its ring and handed it over.

"Xun~"

Ye Ye Jingwen was stunned.

She looked at the words "for young pets" on the milk bottle and politely declined: "Thank you, I'm not thirsty."

After refusing the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, Ye Ye Jingwen said seriously: "Qiao Sang, can you help me steal the Magnetic Hamster out? Except for you, I can't think of anyone else."

After speaking, she silently looked at the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, who had put the milk back into its ring.

"Ya ya!"

"Ya!"

The Fire Tooth Dog held the milk in its left claw and patted its chest with its right claw, looking like it was all on it.

Qiao Sang said sternly: "Steal what steal."

Ye Ye Jingwen was suddenly a bit disappointed.

Actually, there were some things she hadn't mentioned.

If Zhang Huai could find a Beast Tamer for the Magnetic Hamster through normal channels, that would be fine.

But he told her that his dad had already found a buyer and was preparing to sell the Magnetic Hamster to a gourmet.

The fate of a Magnetic Hamster in the hands of a gourmet goes without saying.

This was also the part she couldn't accept.

She was prepared to accept her fate, but her cousin happened to return to the old home at this time.

If her cousin only had a Fire Tooth Dog, she wouldn't have brought this up, but she didn't expect her cousin to have also contracted a Treasure-Hunting Ghost.

The existence of the Treasure-Hunting Ghost made her think of the method of stealing.

"This isn't called stealing; this is called releasing," Qiao Sang continued.

Ye Ye Jingwen's eyes lit up, and she became excited instantly, nodding repeatedly in agreement: "Right, it's not stealing! It's releasing!"

Qiao Sang wasn't a person with overflowing kindness; it was just that since the matter happened to her own family, the angle of thinking about the problem was definitely biased toward her own family.

It's just that saying it is easy, but doing it is not that simple.

First of all, relying on the Fire Tooth Dog is impossible, because it only knows how to go head-on.

The releasing can only be done by the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost.

And the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost is only three days old and hasn't used any skills, so letting it act alone away from her always makes her feel a bit uneasy...

11:20 PM.

Qiao Sang and Ye Ye Jingwen rode their bicycles to the downstairs of a residential building in the town center.

The Fire Tooth Dog was already asleep and had been put into the Beast Taming Codex by Qiao Sang.

Because the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost is a ghost-type pet beast, it was extra energetic at night and didn't like to sleep.

"Is it here?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Yes," Ye Ye Jingwen nodded.

"Xun~"

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost called out, but its figure couldn't be seen in the surroundings.

Only Qiao Sang, who had contracted it, nodded accurately in a certain direction.

On the other side.

In the dim room, the sound of gnawing was constantly heard, occasionally mixed with the sizzling sound of lightning.

The Magnetic Hamster looked at the unchanging cage, full of despair.

It looked dejectedly at the night outside the window, wondering if its lover would change its heart if it knew it was gone...

The fruit on the mountain should be ripe in a few days; I don't know if there will be a chance to eat it in the future...

Humans, it's all humans!

It didn't even get to taste the food that lured it out in the first place; what a loss!

The Magnetic Hamster got hungrier the more it thought about it. It stood up angrily and bit the iron cage, turning grief and indignation into strength.

Suddenly, a bottle of milk appeared floating out of thin air in front of its eyes.

The Magnetic Hamster remained in the gnawing posture, stunned on the spot for a moment.

It suddenly realized something and turned its head sharply to look at its tail.

It saw that its tail had turned into a lightning shape at some point.

Oh my god!

It's a ghost-type creature! ===== CHAPTER 84 =====
