Early morning.
8:15 AM.
Qiao Sang woke up naturally, and the first thing she saw was Little Treasure's huge face only 0.1 cm away from hers, almost giving her a heart attack.
“Holy crap, why are you so close to me?” Qiao Sang jolted awake and sat up instantly, all drowsiness gone.
“Xun xun~”
Seeing that his Beast Master was finally awake, Little Treasure grinned, and his eyes began to glow blue.
The next second, all the objects in the room started to float.
Including the bed and Qiao Sang lying on it.
Even Lubao, who was in the water tank, was suspended in midair.
She opened one eye, glanced around, paused for a moment, and then shut her eye again.
Qiao Sang jumped in shock.
“Why are you suddenly using telekinesis?”
“Xun xun~”
Little Treasure pointed at the floating objects, then at himself, indicating that he now found controlling things to be super easy.
Well, you are now a General-level pet beast, and your telekinesis has reached the Ultimate level… of course it’s easy. Qiao Sang looked exasperated.
“Put me down, now.”
“Xun xun~”
Little Treasure chirped, and all the items in the room gently settled back to their original places.
Qiao Sang stared at him, suddenly sensing something off.
Usually, at this hour, when she wasn't blocking internet access, Little Treasure would be on the computer. Not only was he not playing, but he had come to her room to show off his psychic powers?
Something’s not right… way too off…
Don’t tell me he played two all-nighters and got sick of computers?
The thought gave Qiao Sang a headache.
If that’s the case, reaching the peak of the Ultimate tier in telekinesis might take longer…
“Xun xun?”
As she was thinking, Little Treasure let out an expectant chirp, asking if he could pull another all-nighter on the computer tonight.
Qiao Sang immediately perked up.
“Yes, of course you can!”
“Xun xun!”
Little Treasure lit up and zoomed out of the room.
Guess he’s not bored with computers after all… Qiao Sang sighed in relief, then a thought crossed her mind.
If he wasn’t tired of the computer, why wasn’t he in the living room playing and instead came here to show off his powers?
Frowning slightly, Qiao Sang closed her eyes and entered the Beast Master Codex.
The pages flipped, and she quickly found the entry for Little Treasure.
She scanned the information and froze at one line.
[Telekinesis (Ultimate 20000/20000) max]
“!!!”
Holy crap, it actually reached the peak of the Ultimate level!
That progress was insanely fast!
Stunned at first, Qiao Sang was soon thrilled but then something occurred to her. She exited the Codex, leapt out of bed, put on her slippers, and hurried to the living room, shouting:
“Don’t play on the computer yet!”
“Xun xun?”
Little Treasure had just begun using telekinesis to play and looked up in confusion, the blue glow in his eyes fading.
Qiao Sang said seriously:
“I forgot to mention, if you want to play on the computer now, use your Substitute. And same as before, you must recast it every minute.”
“Xun xun?”
Little Treasure tilted his head, puzzled.
Use the Substitute? How? Does it mean I play, or the clone plays?
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:
“You can play directly while casting the substitute, or have the clone play instead. Either is fine.”
“Xun xun…”
Little Treasure imagined both options and didn’t like either.
Whether playing while maintaining the clone or letting the clone play, both seemed exhausting…
Exhausting? You didn’t say anything about being tired when using shadow control or telekinesis… Wait. Actually, there is a difference… Qiao Sang considered it.
The key difference was that with shadow control and telekinesis, Little Treasure was directly in contact with the computer.
But using a Substitute meant the clone operated the computer while the real body had to monitor it every minute.
And if he controlled the clone to play, most of his attention would be on the clone, making the game less fun.
Qiao Sang thought for a bit and said, “How about this, don’t play for now.”
“!!!”
“Xun xun!”
Panicked, Little Treasure immediately summoned his clone to show he could multitask, play with his paws while the clone quietly sat nearby.
Qiao Sang: …
She rubbed the twitching corner of her eye.
“Go practice Psychic Headbutt outside for an hour first. We’ll talk about the computer later.”
“Xun xun…” Little Treasure looked back at her pitifully, but still obediently dismissed the clone and floated toward the outdoor training area, head drooping, looking completely out of energy.

Addicted to the internet, but still obedient… not bad. Qiao Sang felt somewhat comforted. She sat on the couch, picked up her phone, opened a shopping app, and bought the most expensive computer in 1st District with instant delivery.
If one computer can’t satisfy both him and his clone, then buy two. That way, both can play, and he can practice multitasking too.
Besides, her old computer was from junior high. With college starting soon, it was time for an upgrade anyway…
Ding dong-
Forty minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Qiao Sang opened the door to find a well-muscled fighting-type pet delivering a package.
“Is it the computer?” She asked.
“Kuai kuai.” The fighting-type pet nodded.
That was fast… Qiao Sang accepted the package and closed the door.
At that exact moment, a sharp pain shot through her body. She staggered, almost dropping the package.
What the hell… She gritted her teeth and carefully set the box on the table.
It’s brand new, can’t risk breaking it.
The pain came suddenly and disappeared just as quickly.
Qiao Sang took a moment to recover.
“Yap Yap!”
Yabao teleported into the living room, looking flustered.
Gangbao had passed out!
Qiao Sang blinked.
“Why?”
“Yap…”
Yabao sighed.
Old Four got hit by a Meteor Rain during training…
Qiao Sang: …
Well, that explains the sudden pain…
Looks like the first stage of endurance training is over but Gangbao still can’t handle the pain from Meteor Rain…
“Lubao.” Qiao Sang called.
“Lu.” Lubao slowly walked out of the room.
“Gangbao passed out. Go heal her.” She said.
“Lu.” Lubao flicked her tail in acknowledgment and drifted toward the outdoor training area.
Yabao followed.
Qiao Sang opened the package and took out the new computer.
But the second she did, the familiar pain struck again.
The word “F*ck” practically floated through her mind.
When it finally subsided, she took a deep breath and went outside.
There lay Gangbao, charred like a lump of coal.
“Yap…”
Yabao saw her and gave a helpless expression.
Old Three had healed Gangbao once already, but the moment she resumed training, she got knocked out again by Meteor Rain.
Qiao Sang: …
The strength gap between Yabao and Gangbao was just too big. Even with the meteor’s power toned down, Gangbao, still at intermediate level, just couldn’t withstand it.
Looks like Yabao can’t be the one training Gangbao anymore…
She opened her mouth to speak.
Suddenly, a chill swept over her.
Qiao Sang turned instinctively to the left.
“Lu…”
Lubao stood there, body taut, radiating icy energy. She stared daggers at Yabao and called out:
Who are you calling Old Three?
Qiao Sang: …
It’s over…
