Chapter 597 Also Has Problems (Part 2)

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao looked at its Beastmaster with a puzzled expression.

The surrounding items stopped moving, hovering in the air.

This is… Qiao Sang reached out and picked up a yellow crystal that was floating in the air, with a cheap price tag still attached to its surface, and examined it carefully.

Yellow, irregularly shaped, milky white flocculent…

Isn’t this Dragon Amber!

Qiao Sang was overjoyed.

However, along with the joy, a little confusion flashed through her mind: Isn’t Dragon Amber a very precious material? Why is it just displayed on the shelf like this, with the price tag still stuck on it, and in such a shabby shop? It seems too cheap…

And… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but glance at the object-identifying monster next to her.

Purifying oil, a remote shop, a sprained ankle, and Dragon Amber appearing—isn’t this too much of a coincidence…?

“Identify?”

With these thoughts flashing through her mind, the object-identifying monster looked at the yellow crystal and called out, indicating whether it looked the same as the gift Qing Bao had received last time.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao came over and called out, indicating that it seemed to be true.

As its attention shifted, all the previously suspended objects lost control and fell down together.

The shop assistant’s initial shock had subsided, and he couldn’t help but shout, “You have to pay for the broken items!”

Qiao Sang was in high spirits, put away the Dragon Sparkle in his hand, and generously said,

“I’ll pay for all of these.”

Ten minutes later, Qiao Sang walked out of the shop amidst the shop assistant’s rather obsequious smile.

The Object-Knowing Monster was also in a good mood. It looked up at the thundering sky.

Then, the lightning suddenly diminished and gradually showed signs of dissipating.

“Know-knowing?”

the Object-Knowing Monster called out, indicating that the lightning seemed to be about to disappear. Should they find an alien pet now?

Qiao Sang looked at it and smiled, “No, I’ll apply purifying oil to you first.”

Object-Knowing Monster: “…”

“Tooth Treasure.” Qiao Sang called out.

“Tooth Treasure!”

Tooth Treasure understood and called out, then its size slowly increased.

Qiao Sang controlled the wind, bringing the Object-Knowing Monster onto its back.

Tooth Treasure moved its limbs and transformed into a streak of fire, running into the air.

“Sit down,” Qiao Sang said, looking at the Object-Knowing Monster.

“Shishi,” the Object-Knowing Monster called out, indicating it would do it.

Qiao Sang didn’t insist and handed over the bottle containing the purifying oil.

The Object-Knowing Monster took the bottle, sat down, opened the cap, and began applying it to the soles of its feet.

With each application, it circulated its energy, making the treated area even more lustrous.

Qiao Sang sat down beside it and said, “I have to thank you this time. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten a Dragon Sparkle Amber at such a low price.”

The shop they had just visited didn’t know the value of Dragon Sparkle Amber; there was no box specifically for storing it, and the price tag only showed 6800 Alliance Coins—a super bargain.

However, the specific grade of this Dragon Sparkle Amber was still unknown; if it wasn’t Grade A, they would have to find another one.

“Shishi?”

the Object-Knowing Monster called out, feigning ignorance, indicating what Dragon Sparkle Amber?

Qiao Sang chuckled, “It’s the material you just mentioned that looks a lot like the gift Qingbao received last time.”

“I recognize it!”

The object-recognizing monster, while rubbing purifying oil on the soles of its feet, exclaimed with a look of sudden realization, indicating that this was indeed Dragon Flash Amber.

Fake, so fake… Qiao Sang casually put the Dragon Flash Amber away, but a thought that had crossed her mind before resurfaced:

This object-recognizing monster is definitely suspicious!

It’s a shop on the verge of bankruptcy, where even the exact value of the material is unknown, yet the object-recognizing monster claims many people will come to buy it.

The items given as compensation, besides the Dragon Flash Amber, weren’t particularly valuable, so it’s not some mysterious shop hidden in the city center.

And to twist its ankle on flat ground—while the probability isn’t zero—it just happened to knock the Dragon Flash Amber off the shelf; the coincidence was far too bizarre.

Speaking of which, the lightning strike was quite sudden. Could it have been the work of the Object-Knowing Monster…?

That’s unlikely. Such a terrifying lightning strike must have been done by a powerful pet beast; the Object-Knowing Monster shouldn’t have that ability…

But then again, how did the Object-Knowing Monster know there was a Dragon Sparkle here?

It’s been searching for alien pet beasts outside all this time, with Teacher Michael by its side. It hasn’t left the hotel at all.

How did it find it?

A jumble of chaotic thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind, a mixture of wariness and curiosity.

Wary because the Object-Knowing Monster was clearly suspicious, not simple at all.

Curious because why did it help her find the Dragon Sparkle, and what was its purpose in staying by her side?

Qiao Sang’s brain raced, recalling the Object-Knowing Monster’s condition for helping her find the alien pet beast: a visit to the Beast Taming Alliance headquarters.

The Beast Taming Alliance headquarters is indeed not a place that just anyone or any pet can enter, so it’s not surprising that some pets dream of going there…

To understand why the Object Recognition Monster is so strange, perhaps the answer lies with its Beast Tamer…

Qiao Sang collected her thoughts and smiled,

“Anyway, I still have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to find Dragon Flash Amber so quickly.”

“Recognition.”

The Object Recognition Monster’s eyes crinkled, and it called out, indicating that there was nothing to thank it for; it had only come out to buy purification oil for her.

Object Recognition… Qiao Sang looked at it, a slight stirring in her heart.

…

Hotel room.

“You found Dragon Flash Amber?” Michaela asked with a surprised expression.

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement, placing Dragon Flash Amber on the coffee table while recounting how she had encountered it.

“Tingting…”

Tingbao wriggled over, its eyes sparkling as it stared at Dragon Flash Amber.

Michaela couldn’t help but glance at the Object Recognition Monster, and said in astonishment:

“What a coincidence?”

It seems Teacher Michaela also noticed that the Object Recognition Monster was acting strangely… Josan thought to herself, about to say something in defense of the Object Recognition Monster.

But before she could speak, Michaela continued,

“Your luck is always this good. Give me the Dragon Sparkle, I’ll take it to an appraiser to have it tested.”

Saying this, she picked up the Dragon Sparkle from the coffee table.

Josan: “…”

Seriously? A sudden clap of thunder, then going to a nearly bankrupt shop, the Object Recognition Monster suddenly twisting its ankle, and then the Dragon Sparkle appears—aren’t you at all surprised?!

Josan suppressed the urge to complain.

Honestly, although the Object Recognition Monster was strange, she didn’t want to expose it directly. Every pet might have its own secrets, and she could sense that the Object Recognition Monster meant her no harm, even helping her find the Dragon Sparkle.

However, she still needed to find out why the Object Recognition Monster was acting so strangely…

Michaela didn’t waste any time, opened the navigation, and had Penjami lead her to the testing center.

After giving Ya Bao and the others a few instructions, Qiao Sang went to her room and closed the door.

She sat down on the bed, took out her phone, and sent a text message to Xiao Xun Bao.

Just a few seconds later, Xiao Xun Bao appeared out of nowhere and called out,

“Xun Xun?”

What’s wrong?

Qiao Sang lowered her voice and said, “Remember the Beastmaster’s house where the Object-Knowing Monster lived last time? We’re going there.”

She took out her phone and searched for the address Jian Yin Suo Suo had sent last time.

“Xun Xun?”

Xiao Xun Bao was taken aback and called out, indicating why they needed to go there.

“You’ll find out when you get there,” Qiao Sang said, placing the pre-set navigation location in front of it. “It’s here. We’re going now.”

“Xun Xun?”

Xiao Xun Bao called out, indicating whether they should bring the Object-Knowing Monster along.

“No need,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xun Xun?” Xiao Xun Bao called out again.

Where’s Brother Ya Bao?

“No need either. I’ll go find out some things and come back,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out, indicating that it would go tell Lao Wu first, otherwise it would get angry again.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s first thought was: Little Xunbao had just been training Qingbao in the indoor training room to accumulate anger points, so it should say goodbye before leaving.

Immediately following was her second thought: If Little Xunbao left without saying goodbye, wouldn’t Qingbao be able to accumulate anger points even faster?

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang was about to speak to stop it.

However, before she could speak, Little Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue and it disappeared from sight.

At the same time, in the living room.

Tiantian…

so clever…The object-recognizing monster thought to itself, not particularly surprised.

In its opinion, Qiao Sang was indeed a smart human. If it weren’t for her teacher’s misleading, it should have discovered that it had a problem long ago.

Maybe it should just expose itself like this…

The object-recognizing monster thought of having to go out on the street pretending to search every day, and of being struck by lightning every morning, noon and night, and briefly had the idea of giving up.

But then it thought of Qiao Sang, paused for a moment, turned around and went to its room, and lay down on the bed.

A monster that looked exactly like it appeared out of thin air beside it, its eyes closed.

The monster’s eyes glowed blue, and it vanished.

…

“Xunxun~”

Inside the room, Little Xunbao appeared out of thin air, calling out, indicating that it had agreed with Lao Wu that it was time to go.

“Wait.” Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and said, “Go check what the monster is doing.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao nodded and then disappeared.

Less than ten seconds later, Little Xunbao reappeared, calling out:

“Xunxun~”

It was sleeping.

Sleeping? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, thinking that it fell asleep so quickly.

Without thinking much, she picked up her phone, which had been set to a location, and placed it in front of Little Xunbao, saying, “Here.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao looked at the phone, its eyes glowing blue.

A short while later, it disappeared with its Beastmaster.

…

Lei Dian Kingdom and Mechanical Kingdom were not far apart. Qiao Sang’s vision went black four times before she finally appeared at the location set by the navigation.

“Why don’t we just go in?” Qiao Sang asked, looking at the black door in front of her.

Little Xunbao fell into thought.

To be honest, it didn’t know either. It should have gone straight in, but when it tried to locate the door, the space inside seemed to have distorted, causing it to end up outside…

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao snapped out of its thoughts and called out with righteous indignation, “

We can’t trespass!

” Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang raised her hand and pressed the doorbell.

“Ding-dong~”

The doorbell rang, but no one answered.

Qiao Sang pressed it again.

“Ding-dong~”

Still no one answered.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out, indicating that no one was home.

It should be… Qiao Sang opened her mouth, about to say, “Let’s go back first.”

Suddenly, the door opened.

A woman wearing glasses appeared at the door. She looked her up and down before speaking in a slightly hoarse voice,

“Who is it?”

“Hello,” Qiao Sang quickly greeted her, “Are you a Beastmaster who recognizes monsters?”

The woman with glasses looked her up and down again before realizing, “You’re Qiao Sang?”

“Yes,” Qiao Sang nodded, “I’ve come to ask you some questions.”

The woman with glasses looked around towards the door and asked, “Where’s the Object Recognition Monster?”

Her voice was no longer as hoarse as before.

“It’s sleeping, so I didn’t let it come over,” Qiao Sang said.

“Come in,” the woman with glasses said, making way for them.

Qiao Sang and Little Treasure Hunter went inside.

The woman with glasses led them to sit on the sofa in the living room and asked,

“What do you want to ask?”

Qiao Sang went straight to the point: “I want to know if the Object Recognition Monster has any other abilities besides its wide range of pet identification?”

The woman with glasses said unhurriedly,

“Of course, I’ve given it quite a few abilities, such as some superpower-type skills.”

Qiao Sang paused for two seconds, then asked,

“Does the Object Recognition Monster have any ability to find things?”

“What do you mean specifically?” the woman with glasses asked in return.

“For example, some materials and items that pets need,” Qiao Sang said.

The woman with glasses looked thoughtful and said,

“It can only identify pets, it doesn’t have the ability to find materials and items, but…”

“But what?” Qiao Sang asked.

“However, I once told it that it can find materials with corresponding energy by sensing special energies,” the woman with glasses replied.

It sounded reasonable, but the Object-Recognizing Monster’s behavior was still too strange… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and asked,

“Does the Object-Recognizing Monster have electric energy?”

“Yes,” the woman with glasses patiently answered, “but the relevant energy within its body is not much, only accounting for 3% of its total.”

3%… Qiao Sang nodded and said,

“I understand.”

The two chatted briefly afterward, and Qiao Sang got up to say goodbye.

The little treasure hunter’s eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared from the spot with its Beastmaster.

The expression on the woman with glasses’ face turned serious, and then her form changed, transforming into the Object-Recognizing Monster.

It walked to a door and pushed it open.

On the ground, a woman who looked exactly like it had before and an Object-Recognizing Monster who looked exactly like it now lay unconscious with their eyes closed.

The Object-Recognizing Monster took off its glasses, squatted down, and put them on the unconscious woman’s face.

Then it stood up, its eyes glowing blue, and vanished.

…

Hotel room.

Qiao Sang sat on her bed, lost in thought.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao called out curiously, indicating why she had asked those questions.

“I feel that the Object-Recognizing Monster is a bit unusual,” Qiao Sang said truthfully.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao tilted its head and called out.

What’s unusual about it?

Qiao Sang didn’t answer, but fell into deep thought.

She wondered if she was overthinking it, but she felt that the Beastmaster she had just met, the one who tamed the Object-Recognizing Monster, also had something going on…
