Chapter 602 – I’m Giving Up (Part 2)

11:00 AM.

Hotel room.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.

Xia Bao jumped down from its Beastmaster’s arms.

Before it could even stand up, it was hugged by a soft, slightly foul-smelling body.

“Qing Qing…”

Qing Bao hugged Xia Bao tightly, taking deep breaths, its expression showing “finally alive again.”

Before, Xiao Xun Bao had been helping it accumulate anger points, but today Xiao Xun Bao had gone out with Qiao Sang, so Wu Yuan You had to do it. And Wu Yuan You’s way of accumulating anger points was to lock it in a stinky room. Heaven knows how much it missed the fragrant Xia Bao.

“Qing Qing…”

Qing Bao took another deep breath, its expression showing bliss.

Xia Bao smelled the stench around it and subconsciously wanted to escape, but after glancing at Qing Bao, it didn’t move, holding its breath and silently emitting a fresh fragrance.

Thankfully, it hadn’t completely turned black… Qiao Sang glanced at the cloud beneath Qing Bao and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The biggest fear regarding Qingbao now is that it will return when its anger is almost at its breaking point. Because then, a few words from Xiao Xunbao and Teacher Mikaela could instantly unleash its full anger.

Qiao Sang looked away, glanced around, and, finding Mikaela missing, asked Wuyuanwang,

“Where’s Teacher?”

“Wuwu,”

Wuyuanwang pointed inside.

In the room? Qiao Sang arrived at Teacher Mikaela’s room, and just as she was about to knock, she suddenly felt a chilling aura coming from the crack in the door. She paused, wondering if Teacher Mikaela was frozen solid.

The thought flashed through her mind as the door opened.

“Penpen,”

Penjiamei greeted from the doorway, indicating their return. A

wave of cold air washed over her.

Qiao Sang glanced inside and saw Teacher Mikaela lying on the bed, completely frozen. “

Could it be that it’s been frozen until now…?” Well, Teacher is already an S-rank Beastmaster, so if the freezing effect wasn’t long enough, it definitely wouldn’t have any training effect… Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze and asked,

“Have you and Teacher eaten?”

“Penpen.”

Penjia Mei shook her head.

“Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll order takeout,” Qiao Sang said.

Little Xunbao’s eyes lit up at this.

“Penpen, Penpen.” Penjia Mei skillfully listed several foods.

“I know,” Qiao Sang said, “Should we wake Teacher up and ask?”

“Penpen.”

Penjia Mei called out, indicating that her Beastmaster didn’t mind eating anything.

… Qiao Sang nodded slightly: “I know, I’ll call Teacher when the food arrives.”

“Penpen.”

Penjia Mei nodded and closed the door.

“Xunxun, Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao deliberately floated to her Beastmaster’s side, rubbing her stomach and groaning.

“I’m so hungry, I’m so hungry, I’m so hungry…

” she said, resting her head on her Beastmaster’s shoulder, looking like she was starving. She

‘d already eaten quite a bit on the way this morning… Qiao Sang turned and chuckled at Little Xunbao, saying indulgently,

“I know, I’ll order now.”

She then went to the sofa, took out her phone, and started ordering takeout.

“Xunxun! Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao perked up, floating to her Beastmaster’s side and listing the food she wanted.

While ordering, Qiao Sang thought of something and turned to the quiet Object-Knowing Monster, asking,

“Is there anything you want to eat?”

“Shishi.”

“Shishi.”

The Object-Knowing Monster didn’t mention charging again, but instead chuckled twice, listing the energy meals that Ya Bao and the others often ordered.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then smiled and said, “Okay.”

She continued ordering.

…

Half an hour later.

Everyone sat at the table, enjoying their meal.

Michaela chewed her food, glanced at the Observer Monster eating at the table, and frowned.

“Why is the Observer Monster eating too?”

Tingbao glanced at the Observer Monster, also finding it strange.

The Observer Monster ate its energy meal at a leisurely pace, as if it hadn’t heard her.

Qiao Sang said, “I just found out that the Observer Monster can eat energy meals directly without needing to recharge, so I ordered some food for it.”

Michaela was taken aback; she didn’t know this.

After a moment, she said, “Why not just let the Observer Monster recharge? It would be much more convenient.”

Generally, even if mechanical-type pets can both recharge and eat, most Beastmasters would only let mechanical-type pets recharge, because it’s not only convenient but also saves a lot of Alliance Coins.

The Observer Monster glanced at Michaela.

“The Observer Monster prefers to eat energy meals directly,” Qiao Sang smiled.

“Is that so?” Michaela looked at the Observer Monster, frowning. “Why didn’t you say so before?”

“Shishi,”

the Observer Monster called out calmly, indicating that they hadn’t asked before.

“Maybe it doesn’t care about charging,” Josang said. “But I think since it prefers energy meals, it’s better to let it eat energy meals.”

Michaela didn’t offer any further opinion.

In her view, although charging was more convenient, even without charging, eating energy meals every day wouldn’t be a problem; it was all a small expense.

The Object-Knowing Monster glanced at Josang subtly, then silently shoveled its energy meal into its mouth without saying another word.

After eating and drinking its fill, Josang returned to her room, sat on the bed, and stared blankly, letting her thoughts wander…

Now she was basically certain that the Object-Knowing Monster was an alien pet, unaware that it had actually discovered it was indeed an alien pet.

Now that it’s defenseless, it’s actually a good opportunity to seize it. Once captured, and contacting the examiner, he could officially become an S-rank Beast Tamer…

But… Qiao Sang leaned back, staring at the ceiling, somewhat troubled.

Since the “Object-Recognizing Monster” could return to its own planet, there was no need for it to search for life-bearing planets with the Tenth Seat. Handing it over to the Beast Taming Alliance would definitely be harmful to it.

Qiao Sang imagined a scene:

the “Object-Recognizing Monster” being captured by him and taken to the Beast Taming Alliance, then handed over to the examiner.

“Recognize!”

The “Object-Recognizing Monster” looked at him in disbelief and cried out. “

I never thought you were this kind of human!

” he thought coldly. “Sorry, I just want to complete the mission.”

Afterwards, the “Object-Recognizing Monster” was imprisoned, studied, dissected, and taken away from its planet by the Tenth Seat, forced to search the boundless universe without freedom… The

“Object-Recognizing Monster” searched the universe while silently shedding two lines of tears…

“Steel Power.”

Just as he was imagining this, Steel Treasure’s voice rang in his mind.

Since this alien pet is so powerful, you probably can’t beat it.

Even though it slept last night and didn’t go out with its tamer this morning, its tamer’s thoughts made it clearly aware of the “Object-Recognizing Monster’s” abilities and identity.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang gathered its thoughts and said in its mind, “Isn’t there Teacher Michaela?”

“Steel Power,”

Steel Treasure calmly responded in its mind.

Since the “Object-Recognizing Monster” can return to its own planet, it’s definitely stronger than your teacher. Even if the two of you team up, you probably can’t catch it.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Unable to refute this…

“Steel Power,”

Steel Treasure called again in its mind, indicating that if you want to complete the mission, you might need to contact the Beast Taming Alliance for help to capture it.

Qiao Sang remained silent.

Steel Treasure seemed to sense something and called out in its mind:

“Steel Power?”

You don’t want to capture it?

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then thought to herself, “Actually, I don’t think it’s a big deal if

I become an S-rank professional beast tamer a year later.” She paused, then added, “I’m still young. Becoming an S-rank professional beast tamer a year earlier or later won’t affect me much, but if I recognize the alien beast and it gets captured, it might never have any freedom again.”

Gangbao laughed and called out,

“Gangquan?”

You’re not going to do this mission?

Qiao Sang looked at the ceiling, sighed heavily, and said, “I’m not doing it.”

“Gangquan,”

Gangbao called out with a smile, indicating that he supported whatever decision Qiao Sang made.

Gangbao… Hearing the voice in her mind, Qiao Sang felt much relieved.

To be honest, even knowing that the alien beast was right beside her, and that capturing it would allow her to officially become an S-rank professional beast tamer, she still hesitated.

After all, becoming an S-rank professional beast tamer would definitely improve her benefits, and she could participate in professional competitions she couldn’t participate in before.

But… Qiao Sang recalled the scenes she had imagined and the moments she had spent with the “Object-Recognizing Monster,” and ultimately couldn’t bear to complete the mission.

“Don’t reveal that we already know,” Qiao Sang instructed mentally.

“Gang Quan,”

Gang Bao calmly called out, indicating that Qiao Sang should be more worried about Ya Bao and the others than her.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Bing Luo?”

Just as they were communicating, Lu Bao’s voice suddenly rang out beside them.

Was the Object-Recognizing Monster really not the real Object-Recognizing Monster?

Qiao Sang stopped communicating in her mind, looked at it, and, without much surprise, asked, “Did you hear the conversation last night?”

“Bing Luo,”

Lu Bao nodded.

Given the “Object-Recognizing Monster’s” power, it could most likely have heard the conversation… But that’s fine too; it knows it knows its identity and will probably leave on its own… Qiao Sang suppressed her reluctance, not deliberately lowering her voice, and said,

“That’s right, it’s not the real Object-Recognizing Monster.”

“Bing Luo?”

Lu Bao looked puzzled and called out, indicating that it was who it was.

It had only heard the conversation from last night.

Qiao Sang said in a deep voice, “If I’m not mistaken, it should be the alien pet we’ve been searching for.”

“Bingluo?”

Lu Bao frowned, showing a “what?” expression, then its expression suddenly became serious, and it called out again,

“Bingluo.”

I’ll go catch it right now.

Saying that, it strode towards the door.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

“No!” Qiao Sang stopped it.

“Bingluo?”

Lu Bao turned its head, looking at its beast tamer in confusion.

I said this so that the “Object-Recognizing Monster” would leave on its own, not so that you would catch it… Qiao Sang said, “Let’s not act rashly.”

Lu Bao was silent for a moment, then called out,

“Bingluo?”

What does “act rashly” mean?

Qiao Sang: “…”

“It means don’t act recklessly.” Qiao Sang explained, “We need to wait for the right opportunity, otherwise it might escape.”

“Bingluo?”

Lu Bao called out in confusion, indicating what opportunity it needed to wait for. Why don’t I just go and freeze it?

Qiao Sang patiently explained,

“It’s very powerful and not so easy to freeze. We need to wait for the right moment.”

“Bing Luo,”

Lu Bao nodded.

Meanwhile, in another room, the Object-Knowing Monster lay on the bed, its face unconsciously turning cold as it listened to the voice beside it.

So this human had realized its strength and was looking for an opportunity to capture it again…

*Tsk tsk…* the Object-Knowing Monster sneered inwardly.

…

6:30 PM.

At the dining table, Michaela and Ya Bao were enjoying their dinner.

Josan pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at the Object-Knowing Monster standing against the wall, saying,

“Object-Knowing Monster, come and eat too. I bought your portion as well.”

“Shishi.”

The Object-Knowing Monster looked at her and calmly meowed, indicating it didn’t really want to eat and preferred to recharge.

You’re not a real mechanical pet… Josan paused, then a thought flashed through her mind: Could it be that the “Object-Knowing Monster” had overheard her conversation with Lu Bao and was therefore angry, refusing the food she bought for it?

Then came a second thought:

That shouldn’t be the case. If it really heard the conversation, it should have left by now…

Qiao Sang remained silent for a while, then looked at Ting Bao and said,

“Charge.”

“Ting Ting.”

Ting Bao nodded, twisting its body to stand in front of the Object-Recognizing Monster, crackling yellow arcs of electricity appearing on its body as it focused its energy on the monster.

The Object-Recognizing Monster remained expressionless amidst the yellow lightning.

Michaela, who hadn’t understood the Object-Recognizing Monster’s words, frowned and asked,

“Didn’t we order food for the Object-Recognizing Monster? Why is it charging?”

Before Qiao Sang could answer, Penjami called out,

“Pen Pen.”

The Object-Recognizing Monster wanted to charge itself.

But the food had already been bought… Michaela thought to himself, then continued eating.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said,

“I checked the weather forecast for tomorrow; it’s thundering. I’ll take the Object-Knowing Monster out to search for alien pets.”

Qiao Sang paused, her chopsticks still in her hand, and nodded,

“Okay.”

Perhaps while everyone was sleeping tonight, the Object-Knowing Monster would find a chance to leave…

“Shishi.”

Just then, the Object-Knowing Monster, now fully charged, barked, indicating it wasn’t feeling well and wouldn’t be going out tomorrow.

Qiao Sang subconsciously asked,

“Where are you feeling unwell?”

Unwell? Michaela looked at the Object-Knowing Monster.

“Shishi.”

The Object-Knowing Monster feigned discomfort, barking to indicate it didn’t know why, but it felt a bit weak this morning and wanted to stay and rest.

It seemed to have overheard the conversation and was preparing to leave… Qiao Sang didn’t hesitate much and said,

“Then you can stay and rest.”

“Shishi.”

The Object-Knowing Monster looked at Qiao Sang, its eyes slightly cold, and nodded.
