The beast starts from zero

2 p.m.

Beast Control Center.

Qiao Sang came to the assessment office for inspection.

In the office, the examiner heard a deliberately low voice coming from the door:

"Take off your mask and get out of the way, otherwise I'm worried you'll be touched again."

"Qingqing." A childish and ethereal voice sounded.

Then there was a knock on the door.

  The examiner was silent for a long time, then responded:

"Please come in."

"I have completed the task of purifying the air around the Likang factory." Qiao Sang handed over the identity card and the beast badge.

The examiner looked stunned: "Finished? So quickly?"

I thought the other party came here because he realized that this task was a bit difficult and came to seek some help, such as introducing where to quickly find a pet that can purify the air.

After all, in Tianfu City, pets that can purify the air are needed everywhere, so much so that the beastmasters of these pets are almost all making a lot of money, and it is difficult to make an appointment.

Basically, any Beastmaster who accepts this task and wants to find others for help will have to wait for about a month, even if they are willing to pay the price.

Even if the other party has contracted the legendary pet Qingqingni, it shouldn't be like this. Qingqingni is still in the early stages and it's impossible for her to purify the air over such a large area...

To be honest, this was the first time she encountered a beastmaster who issued a task like air purification in the morning and came to her in the afternoon to say that he had completed the assessment task.

Qiao Sang hummed and said with a smile: "Although my pet does not have the ability to directly purify the air, it happens that some skills can also solve this problem."

  The examiner glanced at her and called the Environmental Protection Bureau with some doubt:

"Hello, this is the Beast Taming Center Assessment Office. I'd like to ask about the sky above the Likang Factory..."

The person on the other end of the phone also needs to confirm.

About twenty minutes later, the examiner hung up the phone and looked at Qiao Sang with a complicated and appreciative look:

"You completed your mission very well."

Qiao Sang smiled shyly.

The examiner clicked "Pass" on the screen and handed back the identity card and beast badge.

"Then I'll leave first." Qiao Sang said goodbye politely.

  The examiner said "hmm" and suddenly joked:

"Is Qingqingni often touched?"

Qiao Sang: "???"

Qingbao: “???”

……

After coming out of the assessment office, Qiao Sang dialed teacher Mikaela's number.

After a few beeps, the call was connected.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Qiao Sang went straight to the point: "Teacher, I have completed my mission."

Michaela felt a kind of numbness that she was used to, and said, "Where are you now? I'll come over."

Are they preparing to leave for the next city? Qiao Sang said, "I just submitted the mission and am going downstairs to the Beast Taming Hall."

"Wait for me." Michaela said and hung up the phone.

Qiao Sang came to the Beast Taming Hall.

Only about five minutes later, she saw Teacher Mikaela walking towards her.

"What is the mission this time?" Michaela asked casually.

"To purify the air," Qiao Sang replied.

Mikaela immediately guessed: "Did Ice Emperor Ram purify it?"

Qiao Sang said "hmm" and briefly explained the task process.

After listening to this, Mikaela nodded slightly and said, "This mission is quite suitable for you."

In the hall, some people recognized Yabao and took out their mobile phones to secretly take photos.

It is now rumored online that Qingqingni's beastmaster is a B-level boss, which has made those beastmasters who have not reached B-level restrained a lot, and they dared not step forward for a while.

Qiao Sang pretended not to see it and walked towards the entrance of the Beast Taming Center while chatting with Teacher Mikaela.

"The only thing left is Tianlie City."

"Yes."

"Teacher, you packed your luggage so quickly."

"You completed your task too quickly. I haven't even taken out the things inside..."

……

Tianli City.

It is one of the most unstable cities in the three secret rifts in the Hollow Region.

The probability of secret cracks appearing here is almost six times that of other cities.

Many ordinary local people can't stand the occasional wild pet, so most of them choose to work outside.

However, correspondingly, the beastmasters like this place very much. They think there are many secret cracks here and more wild pets than in other places, so there is a lot of room for development.

After all, wherever there are wild pets, there is a need for animal tamers.

Even the civil servants in the inspection department here have higher salaries than those in other regions.

When Qiao Sang came down from the air passage, he saw two white lights flashing in the air one after another.

Some of the people around were used to it, while others were ready to take action.

"They're arresting wild pets, right? Do you want us to join them? If we catch the wild pet, we can get some money."

"You go ahead. I'll let it go. I can't catch up with you at this speed."

"Then I'll let it go. This white light is quite big. It looks like it's at least a high-level pet."

Mikaela looked at the scene in front of him, listened to the surrounding sounds, and suddenly sighed: "This Tianlie City seems a bit like Eagle Country."

After Qiao Sang summoned Yabao and the others, he said, "I only know that the frequency of cracks in the secret realm here is quite high."

But it's still not as dangerous as the Eagle Country... She kept this in her heart and didn't say it out loud.

……

Qiao Sang took Gangbao and came to the Beast Taming Center according to the navigation.

After checking in, she followed Teacher Mikaela and prepared to go to the accommodation area.

Mikaela took two steps, turned around and asked, "Why don't you take the mission?"

The assessment of the public office and the accommodation area are not in the same direction.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "They should be getting off work soon now. I plan to take the task tomorrow."

Mikaela was surprised and said, "This is not like you at all."

Qiao Sang thought to herself, Teacher, do you have some misunderstandings about me?

To be honest, although she was very efficient in completing tasks and had a tight schedule some time ago, that was because she had half a year less time to complete tasks than others.

Now there is only one task left, but there are still more than two or three months left. There is no need for her to be as anxious as she was at the beginning.

"Now there is only one last task left." Qiao Sang said tactfully.

Mikaela was a little uncomfortable. She raised her hand, looked at the time on the watch on her wrist, and said:

"We get off work at six o'clock. It's five thirty-three now. You still have time to pick up a mission."

As she spoke, she put down her hand and added, "You can accept the task but not do it yet. The sooner you know what the task is, the sooner you can prepare."

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment.

She always felt that the scene in front of her looked familiar, as if it had happened somewhere before...

"I understand." Qiao Sang finally said.

……

Assessment Office.

"Dong Dong~"

Qiao Sang knocked on the door.

"Come in." A cold voice sounded from inside.

Qiao Sang pushed open the door and saw a white pet with a doll-like body and a huge mouth sitting inside, and no one else was in sight.

The pet with a huge mouth said, "Don't look at me, I'm the one talking." Yabao showed an expression of "you scared me".

  Shit, I got scared... Qiao Sang looked at the pet with a huge mouth and showed the same expression as Yabao, but she quickly managed her face and tentatively said:

"Examiner?"

"That's right." The pet with a huge mouth nodded and said, "I'm outside now and can't make it in time."

Qiao Sang: "???"

  No, didn’t you just say you were the examiner?

Are you outside again now?

"Xunxun..."

Just when Qiao Sang was confused, Xiao Xunbao appeared, took out the pet identifier, and aimed it at the pet with a huge mouth.

This action caused the pet with the huge mouth to look over.

At the same time, a voice with the same tone as Xiao Xunbao sounded:

[Let me see... Tongzuiwa, a mid-level fairy pet with the ability to synchronize voices. The beastmaster can use it to have a long-distance conversation... In my opinion, this pet is a bit too weak...]

Xiao Xunbao turned off the pet identifier, hid his figure, and retired after completing his mission.

"Same mouth!"

Tongzuiwa obviously knew what the pet animal identifier had not finished saying, and immediately shouted with an unhappy expression.

It turned out to be because of the simultaneous voice feature... Qiao Sang coughed and apologized:

"I'm sorry, you're so rare. I've never seen one before, and neither has my pet, so I wanted to learn more about you."

"Same mouth..."

The kid with the same mouth was stunned for a moment, then showed a secretly happy expression, tried hard to restrain the upward curve of his mouth corners, and shouted, indicating that if this was the case, it was not difficult to understand.

Then, it spoke in human language:

"It doesn't matter. Are you here to take on the mission?"

  It just has a simultaneous voice feature, but no visual sharing feature. It should be that the scene here is seen through the surveillance... Qiao Sang subconsciously analyzed it and nodded.

"If you're not here, I'll come back tomorrow."

“No need.” Tongzuiwa said, “My Tongzuiwa can also operate it. Give it your ID card and beast badge, and it will arrange it for you.”

This... Qiao Sang was silent for a few seconds, chose to trust, and took out the corresponding identity document and handed it over.

The boy stretched out his paw to take it and started to operate it skillfully.

"Same mouth."

Soon, it handed back the identity card and the beast badge and barked to indicate that it was fine.

"What is the mission?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look." Tongzuiwa spoke in human language: "Send me a screenshot of the task."

The second half of the sentence was obviously not directed at her.

I tried it with Tongzuiwa.

After about ten seconds, it said, "Someone's pet was captured by a pet in the crack of the secret realm and taken into the secret realm. Please help rescue the pet safely. The task must be completed before the official regional competition. The specific information will be sent to you through the backend."

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "Have you locked onto the specific secret realm?"

  "The detailed information will be sent to you. You can ask the beastmaster of that pet." Tongzui Wa paused and continued:

"It's time for me to get off work. Please close the door for me when you leave. Thank you."

After saying that, Tongzuiwa disappeared on the spot.

Qiao Sang: "..."

She took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was exactly six o'clock.

……

Beast Control Center.

Accommodation area.

Room 1129.

"Tooth!"

Yabao watched the game on TV and shouted excitedly from time to time.

It can't train now, and can only watch games to pass the time in the room.

Gangbao was also watching the game, but at the same time he was controlling his clone to train on the training ground.

"Xunxun..."

While dealing with Qingbao's charm, Xiao Xunbao took the time to glance in the direction of the TV.

This made Qingbao's mouth gradually pout, and the wind around him became a little stronger.

Lubao's whole body was covered with crystal ice armor, and she stayed in the holy water with her eyes closed.

Qiao Sang half leaned on the bed, looking at the task details sent by the Beast Taming Center on his mobile phone, which listed the names and contact information of the pets and pet tamers that were taken away.

Lele Seed, an intermediate grass-type pet... Qiao Sang stared at the information about the disappeared pet, pondered for a few seconds, and dialed the contact number left on it.

No one answered the first call.

Qiao Sang called again.

  After a few rings, the call was connected:

"Hey?"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little childish.

Why does it feel like a child... Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then said:

"Hello, I have accepted the mission from the Beast Taming Center. I am responsible for helping you find the pet that was taken away."

  The voice on the other end was suddenly ecstatic:

"Really? Then when are we leaving?"

"Is six days later okay?" Qiao Sang asked.

Yabao is still in the stage of absorbing the Fire Refining Fruit. It cannot use any skills and does not feel safe at all when entering the secret realm.

The voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then pleaded, "Can't you be faster?"

"I need time to prepare." Qiao Sang said, "To be safe, it's better to leave in six days."

There was no sound on the other end of the line for a moment.

"I want to ask you a few questions now."

"go ahead."

"Has the secret realm where the Lele seeds are located been confirmed?"

"Confirmed." The slightly childish voice said obediently: "The uncle from the inspection department told me that there is only one secret realm nearby. If there is a crack in the secret realm, it is basically connected to there."

Uncle from the inspection department… Qiao Sang repeated these seven words in his mind, had a bad feeling, and asked, “How old are you?”

The person on the other end of the phone said, "15, almost 16."

Qiao Sang was silent.

  Although there had been speculations before, isn’t this age a little too young?

"Hello, are you still there?" asked a childish voice.

"I'm here." Qiao Sang was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Can you enter the secret realm at your age?"

She remembered that there were restrictions on the level of beastmasters to enter the secret realm.

"Yes." The childish voice said, "I've already asked. My situation is special. If I don't go in, even if others find the Lele Seed, they won't know it's not mine. So the people from the Secret Realm Management Bureau said that as long as there are five C-level Beast Tamers in a team, or there is a B-level Beast Tamer who can protect me, I can go in."

"Since you accepted the mission alone, you must be a B-level beastmaster."

That's true, but I haven't exchanged my badge for a B-class Beast Tamer yet, so logically I should still be a C-class Beast Tamer... Qiao Sang immediately remembered something and opened the unread text messages on his phone.

  One of them was from the Beast Taming Center, and was sent around 4pm:

[Dear Beast Tamer Qiao Sang, congratulations on passing the assessment and becoming a powerful B-level professional beast tamer. You can choose any beast taming center to replace the beast taming badge. ]

It turns out that according to the information, he is already a B-level Beast Tamer... Qiao Sang suddenly realized.

No wonder this task was assigned to me...

As expected, the greater the ability, the more difficult the task... Qiao Sang immediately remembered something and asked, "Which secret realm is it?"

"Secret Realm No. 53." said the childish voice.

"What number did you say?" Qiao Sang suddenly straightened up and couldn't help but raise his voice to confirm.

"No. 53...is there something wrong?"

Secret Realm No. 53, it turned out to be Secret Realm No. 53... How could it be Secret Realm No. 53... Qiao Sang looked at Ya Bao's back, his heart in turmoil.

Secret Realm No. 53, where Yabao evolves.

  But I shouldn’t do that!

It took Yabao six days to reach the middle level of general...

Will he enter this secret place again in the future? Thinking of this, Qiao Sang calmed down a little. (End of this chapter)
