Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 147 - 142: Forget About This Incident

Chapter 147: Chapter 142: Forget About This Incident

This Pet Beast Cultivation Institution was not very large, and it seemed rather deserted, with only a man in a black short-sleeved shirt sitting on a low stool, playing “Fight the Landlord” with two sand burrowers.

“Pair of twos!”

Qiao Sang had just walked in when she saw the man excitedly throwing cards.

“Burrow, burrow.”

One of the sand burrowers casually tossed out four cards, which appeared to be a bomb.

The man immediately fell silent.

...

“Excuse me, is anyone there?” Qiao Sang looked inside, trying to call someone else out from within.

“Yes, yes, yes!” The man, hearing her voice, immediately put down his cards and came over.

What good luck that a customer had come just at this critical moment, giving him the perfect excuse to get out of the game.

The man couldn’t help but feel happy as a smile beamed across his face, “Are you looking for a breeder, boarding services, or do you want your Pet Beast to learn a specific skill?”

Qiao Sang was slightly stunned. Was this institution’s service so comprehensive?

To know that breeding, boarding, and teaching Pet Beasts skills are all major services, it was rare for a single institution to offer all three.

Qiao Sang started to see this institution in a new light; despite its small size, it was fully equipped.

The man’s eyes lit up when he saw Yaobao standing by; not because he recognized it as the new evolution of the Fire-Toothed Dog mentioned in the recent news but because he was captivated by Yaobao’s appearance.

A Flame Listening Dog looked expensive no matter what.

It seemed like this was a wealthy client…

With that thought, the man’s attitude became even more enthusiastic, “We have professional breeders here, and we support monthly, quarterly, and annual boarding, as well as skills training.”

He pointed to the two Pet Beasts still holding cards and continued, “You see these two sand burrowers? They’ve been here for about a week and already learned to play cards and roll dice.”

“Whatever skill you wish your Pet Beast to learn, whether it’s Werewolf, Three Kingdoms Kill, or Murder Mystery, we can ensure it will learn it.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

So this “skill” was not the skill she had in mind…

“I’d like to make a month’s supply of Energy Pills according to this plan.” Qiao Sang took out two sheets detailing the breeding plan and explained her purpose.

The man laughed and took them, scanning the contents, but the quick glance almost made him lose his composure.

Wow, pure liquid, Fire Melt Fruit, Fire Elemental Crystal, Warmth-Containing Powder…

Just a glance at the list showed expensive materials…

What a big spender… Only a high-level Energy Pill craftsman would dare to use these materials to make Energy Pills.

This deal, if finalized, would require external help to produce.

“I wonder if these materials are supposed to be provided by us?” The man took the matter more seriously given the extravagant array of materials.

“How much would it cost if you provide them?” asked Qiao Sang.

She had not bought the materials before coming to the cultivation institution to save time, planning to have the institution provide them.

It might cost more than purchasing the materials herself, but was money an issue?

No!

She was now someone with an asset of 5 million Alliance Currency!

“200,000 then, for a month’s supply of the two types of Energy Pills,” the man estimated and said.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, her brain quickly doing the math.

200,000…

That’s 2.4 million a year, enough to buy 24 Fire-Toothed Dogs…

What the hell!

This place is a rip-off!

“Excuse me,” Qiao Sang retracted the papers from the man’s hand and turned to leave.

“Wait a second!” The man quickly blocked her, “The price can be negotiated, don’t rush off.”

He admitted he had marked up the price a bit, but it was only a little over the regular market price for making specialized Energy Pills, which wasn’t fixed. Doesn’t everyone negotiate the price before leaving? So why just walk away without discussing?

Finally having a potential deal after so long, he naturally did not want to let it slip away.

Qiao Sang stopped in her tracks and said, “50,000.”

“You can go now.” This time, it was the man’s turn to turn around and leave.

Qiao Sang: “…”

So be it then!

10 minutes later, Qiao Sang was back at the same place…

Because she had just called the vice-principal to confirm that the cost of the materials plus the production fee was indeed nearly 200,000.

No wonder people always say it’s easy to contract a pet beast but hard to raise one; she truly understood that now…

After over half an hour of friendly communication, the final deal was settled at over 180,000 per month.

Pay monthly, with an initial deposit of 20,000, and pay the remainder when the energy pills arrive each month.

…

Qiao Sang returned home with a heavy heart.

She thought the 5 million would be enough for her to splurge for a quite a while, but now just custom ordering energy pills for a year would cost nearly half of her entire wealth.

Plus, the materials Xiao Xunbao Ghost’s ring needed to absorb and the Dark Serene Crystal required for its evolution when the time comes, she feared that she might use up all her money…

At this moment, Qiao Sang felt an unprecedented crisis.

Because this was just the cost of raising a mid-level and a low-level pet beast, what would she do when her pet beasts reached higher levels?

Qiao Sang sat on the sofa and picked up her phone to search for the materials required for Xiao Xunbao Ghost’s cultivation plan.

The ring’s required materials weren’t too many, just 10 kinds.

Looking at the materials that came up in the search, she breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully they weren’t as expensive as she had imagined…

Of these, she directly placed orders for 8 kinds online, spending only 32,000 Alliance Currency.

But she hesitated to choose the Hundred-Year Root Grass and the Phantom Flame Fruit.

There were many fakes online, and these two materials were amongst the most expensive; one cost over 60,000, and the other over 80,000.

Buying materials isn’t like buying clothes, where you can spot the quality at a glance; if you get the right product, it’s a joy, but if you don’t, you end up embroiled in an annoying consumer rights battle with the seller.

For such expensive materials, you either buy them and take them to the identification center to verify, or you directly go to a branded physical store.

After thinking for a while, Qiao Sang decided to find time to visit a physical store to buy these two items.

She continued to look at her phone for a while, but then a crackling noise suddenly came from the courtyard.

“What happened?” Qiao Sang asked with surprise as she looked up.

“Xun!”

“Xun Xun!”

The Xiao Xunbao Ghost, hearing its Beast Tamer ask this, excitedly floated to the left and opened its mouth, imitating Yaobao’s fire-breathing stance.

Then it floated to the right side of the ground and imitated Shuilu Yana’s fainting position from before, closing its eyes and collapsing.

Qiao Sang: “…!”

She had actually forgotten about this!

In the morning, to stop Yaobao from finding Shuilu Yana and fighting, she tricked it into going early to school, and when she came back, she was only focused on searching for materials online and had forgotten about Yaobao’s business.

Now, had they already started fighting?!

Just then, a loud boom came from the courtyard.

Without a doubt, that was the sound of a fight breaking out…

Qiao Sang swiftly stood up with a tense expression and quickly walked towards the courtyard.

All she could hope for was that Shuilu Yana, like yesterday when Yaobao released Spark, had stayed under the water and hadn’t come out…

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao, wearing an expression of someone enjoying the spectacle, closely followed behind.

When Qiao Sang arrived at the courtyard and saw the scene in front of her, her vision went dark.

There, Yaobao was standing proudly with its head held high, while Shuilu Yana lay fainted in front of it.
