Chapter 608 I’ve Arrived… (Two Chapters Combined)
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao, seeing how much attention it received, instinctively puffed out its chest.
Ya Bao also straightened its chest.
But just then, its stomach rumbled.
Ya Bao’s little face turned red, but fortunately, its golden-red fur made it invisible.
“Qingqing.”
Qing Bao looked helpless and called out, indicating that it hadn’t expected that even after evolving, it would still be recognized immediately by the humans and pets of this country.
It silently expressed its appreciation and agreement with the eyesight of the humans and pets of this country.
“Xiaxia?”
Xia Bao, nestled in its Beastmaster’s arms, looked puzzled and called out, indicating that it felt like everyone was looking at its Beastmaster.
I feel the same way… Qiao Sang unconsciously straightened its back as well, and walked to a food stall that Ya Bao and the others had been frequently eating at recently, under the gaze of the surrounding people and pets.
Wherever it went, people made way for it.
The people and pets in front of the stall also quickly made way.
Even if the insensitivity powder failed and she was recognized, it shouldn’t be like this… Qiao Sang felt a sense of doubt upon seeing this.
She remembered that when she was recognized before, she was also surrounded by onlookers, but everyone was excited, taking photos and videos, and some even came up to ask for autographs. But now, why did everyone around her seem afraid of her…?
Qiao Sang went to the stall, collected her thoughts, and ordered a few tree fruit pancakes.
“Are you some kind of celebrity?” the stall owner asked enthusiastically while making the tree fruit pancakes.
Upon hearing this, the people around her cast horrified and surprised glances at the stall owner, as if to say, “You don’t know her?”
“I’m not,” Qiao Sang smiled.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao puffed out its chest and called out.
It was.
Qiao Sang glanced at it and said with a smile,
“But this pet of mine has acted in movies and has quite a few fans, so you could call it a celebrity.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao raised its head even higher.
“No wonder, I could tell this pet looked like a celebrity the moment I saw it,” the stall owner said enthusiastically. “What’s its name? I’ll follow it when I get home.”
“Little Treasure Hunter,” Qiao Sang replied.
“Xunxun~”
Little Treasure Hunter nodded.
The tree fruit pancakes were finished amidst the casual conversation.
Qiao Sang paid, opened the navigation on her phone, located the hotel, and placed it in front of Little Treasure Hunter.
Little Treasure Hunter leaned closer to look, then waved to the people and pets around it, making a “Xunxun” sound before its eyes glowed blue. It then disappeared from the spot, along with its Beastmaster and Ya Bao.
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that this clearly looked like a Ghost-type pet, but it also had psychic abilities…
Just then, the people around them seemed to come alive again, creating a noisy commotion.
A large crowd surged to the stall, their faces filled with admiration and envy, many exclaiming excitedly:
“You’re amazing! You can talk to Qiao Sang so casually!”
“You really don’t know her?”
“Uncle! Uncle! I want one of everything Qiao Sang just bought!”
“My goodness! Uncle, don’t you watch the news?!”
“Really? You don’t know Qiao Sang?!”
The stall owner, bewildered by the surrounding conversations, scratched his head and explained,
“I don’t usually watch the news.”
He glanced at the customer next to him who was ordering the same fruit pancake, about to confirm.
But then, he heard the voices of the people around him again.
“Qiao Sang! An S-rank professional beast tamer! The youngest S-rank professional beast tamer in history!”
“You don’t know an 18-year-old S-rank professional beast tamer?!”
“I really didn’t know him. No wonder I wasn’t excited when I talked to Qiao Sang earlier.”
“Everyone, please understand. The news just came out today. I’ve been working, so it’s normal that I didn’t see the news.”
“Uncle! Don’t just stand there! I want one of those tree fruit pancakes that Qiao Sang just bought here!”
The stall owner didn’t start working immediately. Instead, his eyes widened, his face full of question marks and exclamation marks.
What kind of master?
An S-rank professional beast tamer?
18 years old?!
“Uncle! Uncle!”
“Uncle! Uncle!”
“Are you still going to work or not?”
The stall owner’s expression was completely blank, and he didn’t respond.
…
Hotel room.
Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.
Michaela sat on the sofa, holding her phone. She looked over and asked with a smile:
“You just went to Donglei Street?”
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “How did you know?”
Donglei Street was the name of the street where the food street had just been.
“Because it’s already on the news,” Michaela said, placing her phone on the coffee table and pushing it towards her.
On the news? Josang paused, then picked up the phone.
A news article was prominently displayed on the screen.
Josang looked at the headline:
[“Josang, the Youngest S-Rank Professional Beast Tamer in History, Appears in East Thunder Street
, Thunder Kingdom!”] Below was a photo of her and Ya Bao in the food street.
Little Xun Bao, holding a tree berry pancake, came over, pouting and complaining,
“Xun Xun…”
Why does it look so dark in the photo…
Ya Bao was still happily eating its tree berry pancake, ignoring it.
“Qing Qing.”
Qing Bao floated over, pushing Little Xun Bao aside, and called out, indicating that it wanted to see.
It glanced down, quite satisfied with its own appearance, then looked at Little Xun Bao’s figure in the photo and called out,
“Qing Qing.”
You look even darker in person than in the photo.
Little Treasure Hunter: “…”
S-Rank Beast Tamer… Qiao Sang’s expression froze slightly as she looked at Michaela and asked,
“How did they know I became an S-Rank Beast Tamer?”
She remembered receiving her Beast Taming Badge just today, and she had only posted the news of becoming an S-Rank Beast Tamer on her WeChat Moments. Even if everyone knew, it would first be her mother and relatives on Blue Star. How did the people from Tianyuan Kingdom know? Did
the Beast Taming Center leak it?
No wonder the people around her looked at her so strangely back then; it was because of this…
Qiao Sang recalled the scene in the food street and suddenly understood.
Everyone held S-Rank Beast Tamers in absolute awe, just as she had done back then.
Even if a famous S-Rank Beast Tamer was very popular, when walking on the street, even if they were recognized and people were excited, they would never rush up and cheer like they would with other ranks of Beast Tamers. They would keep a distance before cheering and screaming.
Only a few daring fans would choose to get close.
Michaela chuckled,
“Whenever someone becomes an S-rank Beastmaster, the news spreads quickly throughout their country. Your situation is a bit special. Although your home planet is Blue Star, you are the youngest S-rank Beastmaster among the four major planets. If even a tiny bit leaks out, it will spread rapidly across every planet.”
She paused, then added,
“The Dean also knows about this.”
Qiao Sang was taken aback. Her first thought was: Isn’t it normal for the Dean to know? You would definitely tell the Dean that I became an S-rank Beastmaster.
Immediately afterward, she remembered the phone call she overheard Teacher Michaela answering earlier, and a second thought occurred to her: that call must have been from the Dean. It seemed that before Teacher Michaela even spoke, the Dean already knew the news, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone back to his room to prevent her from listening…
Suddenly, Qiao Sang thought of something else and changed the subject, saying,
“The Insensitivity Powder on me seems to be losing its effectiveness.”
“That’s normal,” Michaela said without surprise.
“Now that the news of you becoming an S-rank professional Beastmaster has spread to every planet, it’s too eye-catching. The Insensitivity Powder can no longer conceal people’s attention from you.”
As she spoke, she laughed and said,
“Originally, after you became the champion of the Master Challenge, the Insensitivity Powder should have stopped working for you long ago, but you happen to be on the most diverse Tianyuan Star. If you were on one of the other three planets, the Insensitivity Powder would have already lost its effect.”
So that’s how it is… Qiao Sang looked worried and said,
“Then what am I going to do when I go out in the future?”
Michaela chuckled:
“Don’t worry about that. It has the same effect as the Invisibility Powder, but there are many items that are stronger. I remember that among the materials with similar functions on Tianyuan Star, the Hidden Feather is the most famous.”
“Hidden Feather?” Qiao Sang asked
, puzzled. Michaela hummed in agreement and explained,
“This is a feather from the Royal-level pet beast, the Hidden Forgetful Bird. As long as you carry this feather, it’s as if you’re automatically invisible to everyone. No one will notice you, but you’re not actually truly invisible. As long as you talk to someone, they will clearly see your presence.”
Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up.
“This material is good. Can I buy it directly on the market?”
“It’s a bit difficult.” Michaela looked over and raised the corner of her mouth.
“But as long as you tell the Dean, she will have Guilunsel send it over.”
“Tell the Dean?” Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, thinking, what is there to tell the Dean? And what does this mean? Could it be that the Dean will give him the Hidden Feather?
It seems quite possible. He has officially become an S-level professional beast tamer. Giving him a Hidden Feather as a reward is not excessive.
But perhaps asking for just a single Hidden Feather wasn’t enough; the Dean should at least reward her with a large number of points…
Thinking this, Qiao Sang was about to refuse, a strategic retreat.
But just as she adopted a righteous demeanor, Michaela continued,
“The Dean said that from now on, anything valued below 100,000 points and 1 million Alliance Coins can be directly given to her, and it will be delivered to you.”
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
Qiao Sang’s eyes suddenly lit up, her righteous demeanor vanishing instantly.
This reward is great! Although she could easily afford 50,000 points and 1 million Alliance Coins, doing it too often would be painful. With this reward, she would never have to worry about the price of items and materials under 50,000 points and 1 million Alliance Coins again!
Qiao Sang’s expression turned serious; she was about to thank the Dean.
Michaela continued,
“The Dean also said that since you’ve become the youngest S-rank Beastmaster in history, the school will reward you with 2 million points. If you exchange items with other students in the points system, those items will be delivered to you first.”
“And,” Michaela smiled, “I mentioned to the Dean that you wanted to participate in the Interstellar Beastmaster Championship, and he readily agreed, saying he’d add your name to the next competition.”
2 million points…2 million points!
Qiao Sang was thrilled and exclaimed,
“I’ll call the Dean right now to thank him!”
With that, she pulled out her main unit to turn it on.
She had been using a backup phone for navigation, so that she could still use the phone’s functions when necessary—that is, when the main unit was off.
“No need,” Michaela stopped her. “You’ve become the youngest S-rank Beastmaster in history. The Dean deserves all the rewards he’s given you. Just focus on your growth and participate in the Interstellar Cup in the future; that will be the best way to repay the school.”
To be honest, she was a little worried that Josang would contact the Dean directly. She could clearly sense that the Dean wasn’t entirely satisfied with her now, and it wouldn’t be good if the Dean brought up changing mentors again during the call.
Although she believed her beloved student wouldn’t change her, if everyone kept mentioning it to her, it would inevitably make her doubt herself and waver.
“I will definitely participate in the Interstellar Cup!” Josang said immediately.
Isn’t that obvious? With your current age and talent, participating in the Interstellar Cup in the future is inevitable. What you need to think about is achieving good results in the Interstellar Cup… Michaela thought to herself subconsciously, but smiled and said,
“I believe in you.”
Josang suddenly thought of something and asked,
“If something worth less than 1 million Alliance Coins can’t be found on the market right away, can we tell the Dean and have Guilunsel send it over directly?”
She remembered what Teacher Michaela had said before, that if she needed the Hidden Feather, she could tell the Dean, and then have Guilunsel send it over.
“That’s right.” Michaela nodded slightly and said,
“That’s what the Dean told me.”
Thank you, Dean… Josang looked up to the heavens in her heart, expressing her gratitude with a face full of piety.
“I’ll contact the Dean now and tell him I need the Hidden Feather.” Josang said as she picked up her phone, preparing to turn it on again.
“You don’t need to call, I’ll just talk to the Dean.” Michaela said, also taking out her phone.
“My treatment has improved again…” Qiao Sang stopped turning on her phone, put it down, and asked,
“Yinyinyu is material from Tianyuan Star. The Dean is on Blue Star. Won’t it be too troublesome to find it?”
“Not troublesome at all. She won’t look for it herself. She just needs to notify others to look for it.” Michaela said as she dialed a number, stepped aside, and started the call:
“Dean, this is Michaela…”
My life is really getting better… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, thinking that if she had become an S-rank professional beast tamer a month or two earlier, maybe she could have become a Dragon Flash…
Qiao Sang’s expression became dazed as she thought of the “Object Recognition Monster” that had helped her with the mission and was now nowhere to be found.
She didn’t even know its real name…
Qiao Sang reached into her pocket and touched the silver-white beads that hadn’t been strung together yet.
At this moment, Steel Treasure’s voice rang in her mind:
“Steel Power.”
Didn’t it say that it would come looking for you again?
“I know.” Qiao Sang responded in her mind, gathered her thoughts, and turned on her phone.
I posted the news of becoming an S-rank professional Beastmaster on my WeChat Moments. My mom should know by now, I wonder if she’s called yet…
As these thoughts flashed through my mind, my phone screen lit up.
Sure enough, I saw a bunch of missed calls and unread messages.
Qiao Sang opened her contacts, just about to call her mom.
But at that moment, her phone vibrated; a number was dialing.
Qiao Sang glanced at the caller ID, paused for a moment, and answered, putting the phone to her ear:
“Hello, Dr. Jiang.”
“I’ve arrived on Tianyuan Star,” Dr. Jiang said, getting straight to the point.
