Chapter 1636

Chapter 621 – Back to the Central Region (Part 2)

On a bustling street, Josang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.

Michaela was about to speak when the people around him screamed, stopped in their tracks, and frantically pulled out their phones, their eyes fixed intently on them.

The entire street instantly became crowded.

“Let’s change again,” Michaela said, frowning as he glanced around.

“PinkPink!”

Penjami called out, its eyes glowing blue.

The next second, they found themselves in an amusement park.

Before they could even observe their surroundings, tourists screamed and swarmed around them as if they’d seen mythical creatures.

“Let’s go!” Michaela said.

Penjami moved again.

On a sparsely populated, seemingly eerie street, Josang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.

Dr. Jiang glanced around, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak

when suddenly, one after another, ghost-type pets of various shapes appeared out of thin air, looking at Josang and Little Treasure with expressions of curiosity, surprise, or admiration.

Dr. Jiang’s body instinctively stiffened.

Penjami, prepared, its eyes glowing blue again.

Immediately afterward, a group of figures appeared high in the sky.

Dr. Jiang stared at the scene before him, his mind momentarily blank. His expression turned blank as he looked down, his face turning deathly pale. His composure vanished, and a scream of “Ah!” echoed through the sky.

Having grown up in the Ancient Mist region, he rarely traveled at high altitudes. Even when he did, it was usually on the backs of pets or in airplanes. This feeling of suddenly being suspended high in the air was a first for him.

Hearing the scream, Qiao Sang was startled and asked with concern,

“Are you alright?”

Dr. Jiang took a deep breath, composed himself, and said, his face still pale, “I’m fine, just my legs are a little weak…”

“Meimei, let’s find another place,” Michaela said, glancing at him.

“Penpei,”

Penjiamei responded, her eyes glowing blue.

But just then, Qiao Sang said, “Wait.”

Penjiamei stopped circulating her energy.

Qiao Sang reached into her backpack and quickly took out the Hidden Feather, which had been made into a necklace, and hung it around her neck.

A faint light enveloped her, then disappeared.

“Let’s go,” Qiao Sang said.

“Puff puff,”

Penjiamei called out, continuing to circulate its energy.

The group of figures disappeared into the sky.

On the wide street, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.

Dr. Jiang felt a sense of security as his feet touched the ground, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The people and pets around them all looked over, their gazes falling on Xiao Xunbao and the others, some shocked, some confused, some doubtful, but none of them screamed and gathered around like before, or took out their phones to take pictures and videos.

“It’s a good thing you wore the Hidden Feather, otherwise I feel like we wouldn’t be able to move.” Dr. Jiang glanced at the feather hanging around Qiao Sang’s neck and said with emotion.

Qiao Sang was quite troubled: “I feel like I’ve been an S-class professional beast tamer for a while now, and I haven’t participated in any competitions recently, but it feels like everyone recognizes me as soon as they see me.”

“At your age, you’re the only one in history to have become an S-class professional beast tamer. Even if you return to Blue Star in ten years, everyone will still recognize you.” Dr. Jiang laughed.

“Perhaps it’s also because of Toothpick and Little Treasure Hunt.” Michaela glanced around and said, “It seems like everyone here knows Toothpick and Little Treasure Hunt.”

“Toothpick!”

Toothpick smiled and called out confidently, indicating that it was normal for everyone to know him.

“Treasure Hunt~”

Little Treasure Hunt waved its paws and greeted everyone around enthusiastically.

The people and pets around were stunned at first, and then they became excited:

“Little Treasure Hunt! It really is Little Treasure Hunt!”

“Oh my god! It’s Little Treasure Hunt! Is Qiao Sang nearby too!”

“Is it really Little Treasure Hunt? Or could it just look similar?”

“Have you ever seen a Netherworld Lord that is so small and so dark?”

“It’s definitely Little Treasure Hunt! The way it greets is just like Little Treasure Hunt! And the pet next to it is obviously Toothpick!”

“Holy crap! It really is Little Treasure Hunt! It looks even darker than on TV!”

This is… Qiao Sang listened to the voices and stared blankly at the white energy that kept floating towards Little Treasure Hunt.

So much white energy, even before the competition has started…

“Steel Power.”

Steel Treasure called out in his mind in a flash of thought.

This is the Zhitia region; there must be many people and pets who like Little Treasure.

That’s right, this is the Zhitia region… Josang suddenly realized something, his eyes lighting up as he looked at Teacher Michaela and said,

“Teacher, let’s hurry to the hotel.”

The Zhitia region has many Ghost-type pets, and the people living here also prefer Ghost-type pets. Little Treasure, as a Ghost-type pet, is famous even in interstellar space; many people and pets in the Zhitia region must know it.

If the dolls with implanted mental links are distributed to the people of the Zhitia region, perhaps Little Treasure can absorb white energy from morning till night every day, and even get a boost before the official competition.

Thinking of this, Josang wished he could teleport back to the hotel right now to distribute the dolls.

“Okay.” Michaela had no objections, took out his phone, and set a location.

At this moment, Dr. Jiang said,

“I won’t be going with you. I need to go back to the Ancient Mist Region first. I’ll definitely come when you have your competition.”

Qiao Sang asked, “Are you leaving now?”

Dr. Jiang hummed in agreement, “I haven’t been back for a long time. I need to see Water Luana and the others, and I also need to hand over the research on Ice Lodimu.”

Hearing this, Qiao Sang didn’t try to stop him, saying,

“Then I’ll have Little Treasure Hunter take you there directly.”

“No need,” Dr. Jiang smiled, “Before I go back, I need to visit an old friend. There are some other things to do.”

“Alright then,” Qiao Sang said, then, as if remembering something, added, “Don’t buy tickets. I’ll mail them to you directly.”

Dr. Jiang laughed, “Okay, I’ll wait for your tickets.”

After saying that, he didn’t leave, but just stood there quietly.

Seeing this, Michaela realized she hadn’t spoken and said goodbye, “Goodbye.”

Dr. Jiang looked over and smiled, “Thank you for taking care of me these past few days.”

“It’s nothing,” Michaela said.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries.

Dr. Jiang remained standing, showing no intention of leaving.

Michaela finally couldn’t help but say, “Then we’ll be going now.”

Hearing this, Dr. Jiang looked at the backpack behind Qiao Sang, hesitating to speak.

Qiao Sang noticed the gaze and finally understood, saying,

“Lu Bao, Dr. Jiang is leaving.”

“Bing Luo.”

Lu Bao’s head popped out of the backpack, calling out to Dr. Jiang in farewell.

“Lu Bao is saying goodbye to you,” Qiao Sang translated.

“Good, good!” Dr. Jiang’s eyes were fixed on Lu Bao, his expression unable to hide his excitement, and he said, “I will definitely come to watch your competition!”

“Bing Luo.” Lu Bao nodded, then peeked back into the backpack.

Only then did Dr. Jiang remember to leave, saying,

“Then I’ll be going now.”

After saying goodbye again, he turned and left.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao waved at his retreating figure.

“Let’s go, over here.” Michaela placed the phone with the location set in front of Penjami.

Penjami glanced down, then her eyes glowed blue, and she disappeared with her group of figures.

…

In the heart of the city, a giant hotel building stood tall, extending upwards layer by layer, reaching straight into the sky.

In the hotel lobby, the receptionist’s hands trembled as she checked in.

Although Josang was wearing the Hidden Feather, essentially invisible when not communicating, her ID card still clearly showed her photo and name.

Once Josang, Michaela, and the others boarded the elevator, the receptionist could no longer contain herself and excitedly told her colleague,

“Josang! Josang is staying at our hotel!”

The colleague was taken aback at first, then confirmed, “The youngest S-rank professional beast tamer?”

“That’s her!” The receptionist nodded vigorously.

The colleague looked around: “Where is she?”

“Just now! I checked her in!” the receptionist said excitedly.

“Just now?” The colleague was stunned. “How come I didn’t see her?”

“She didn’t come; someone else checked her in.” The staff member said, operating the computer, “Look, it’s her on the ID!”

The colleague leaned closer, and when he saw the photo and name, he was so shocked that he covered his mouth with his hand and blurted out, “Holy crap! It really is her!”

The other staff members heard the commotion and came over, causing a stir in the lobby.

…

Room 3010.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao took off the ring, skillfully took out the water tank, and used its telekinesis to control it to place it against the wall.

Just as it was about to take out its usual daily necessities, Qiao Sang asked,

“Little Xunbao, have you already set up the mental links with all those dolls?”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao stopped and nodded.

With nothing to do on the starship, it had set up the mental links with all the dolls.

Qiao Sang said,

“Let’s start a live stream now, saying we’re giving away the plush toys to fans in the Zhitia region.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao was taken aback at first, then understood, her eyes suddenly lighting up. She nodded, quickly took out her phone, took the ring back, opened the live stream app, and started broadcasting.

Qiao Sang took out her phone, ready to call her mother.

But just then, the phone screen rippled, and Jian Yin Suosuo’s eyes opened from within, blinking rapidly. Immediately afterward, subtitles appeared like a projection:

【36 factions have just learned that you are staying at this hotel.】

“What?” Qiao Sang was shocked.

Michaela glanced at the subtitles and said nonchalantly, “It’s nothing. In many large-scale competitions, participating forces find out where their opponents are staying as soon as possible before the competition. Some do it to avoid staying in the same hotel, some have their subordinates automatically collect this information once the list is given, and some, well, they’re not so blatant, just want to find out the addresses and do some underhanded things.”

“I’m not surprised by that,” Josang remarked. “I just didn’t expect them to find out so quickly…”

She felt like she had just entered the hotel…

As soon as she finished speaking, the subtitles on her phone changed:

[I’ve also collected their addresses, and I’m sending them to you now.]

Josang: “???”

No, so fast? Wait, what’s the use of you getting their addresses? Josang said in astonishment, “So fast?”

She didn’t voice her thoughts.

The silver eyes showed a hint of shyness and blinked.

The subtitles changed:

[This is very simple for me.]

As soon as the subtitles appeared, the silver eyes became serious again, blinked again, and the subtitles changed once more:

[I’m going to collect information on all the contestants now.] Then

, the silver eyes closed and disappeared, the subtitles vanishing as well.

The phone returned to its original state. “

That’s incredibly efficient…” Qiao Sang thought to herself, then, as if remembering something, she looked at Teacher Michaela and asked,

“Now that so many forces know where I’m staying, won’t they come and do something?”

Michaela looked at her and smiled confidently, “No.”

“Why?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.

She didn’t understand why her teacher was so sure.

“You’ve only just become an S-rank Beastmaster; you pose no threat to them,” Michaela said.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Got it, I’m not worthy of them doing anything to me…

Michaela continued:

“And you’re the youngest S-rank professional beast tamer in interstellar history, all the factions will definitely want to see just how strong you are.”

Got it, they just want to see my strength but aren’t afraid of me… Qiao Sang paused for two seconds, deciding not to continue the topic, and turned to Ya Bao and the others, asking,

“Tired?”

“Ya Ya!”

“Bing Luo.”

“Gang Quan.

” “Qing Qing

.” “Ting Ting.”

“Xia Xia.”

Ya Bao and the others all shook their heads.

“Okay, let’s go train now.” Qiao Sang said, picking up her phone to locate the nearby open-air training ground.

To be honest, realizing she wasn’t the strongest among all the contestants was one thing, but being considered that way by all the participating factions still annoyed her.

She didn’t like being looked down upon.

Ya Bao and the others all responded.

“Wait,” Michaela said.

Qiao Sang stopped and turned to look at her.

Michaela said earnestly,

“Although all the participating forces don’t think you have much of a chance, you’ll still be monitored whenever you train. We need to find a suitable place where you won’t be watched.” *

I don’t think I have much of a chance in their eyes, so what’s the point of them monitoring me…* Josang thought to herself,

“Just let Meimei stay with me; she has her Mirror Realm.”

Michaela said, “This time, the opponents are different from before, and various forces are helping them from behind. Meimei’s Mirror Realm might not be able to withstand it.”

“Then what should we do?” Josang said, “Why don’t we just ignore them and train as usual?”

Anyway, with my strength that isn’t favored by the major forces, hiding it doesn’t seem to be of any use.

“No,” Michaela said, “You’re just not favored. In reality, since you became an S-rank professional Beastmaster, you’ve never appeared in any major competitions. People don’t know your strength.”

She paused, then added,

“I didn’t let you sign up for this competition because I thought you’d be eliminated in the first round.”
