Chapter 1637

Chapter 622 Surveillance from All Sides (Part Two)

“Teacher…” Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s first reaction was gratitude.

Immediately following was her second thought: “I never expected to be eliminated in the first round.”

To be honest, although among all the contestants’ information provided, her strength and combat experience were the weakest, and she had even joked that the other contestants seemed stronger than her, deep down she didn’t think she would lose quickly; otherwise, she wouldn’t have specifically traveled for over two months on a starship to get here.

“I never expected to be eliminated in the first round,” Qiao Sang stated her thoughts.

Michaela laughed and said,

“Very good. As the youngest S-rank professional beast tamer in interstellar history, you should have this kind of confidence.”

Then, she said seriously,

“So, before we find a suitable training ground, don’t take Ya Bao and the others out to train casually. I’ll go find a place tomorrow; you don’t need to worry about it.”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said,

“I have nothing to do anyway, so why

don’t I go find one now?” So diligent! He can’t even wait a whole night… Michaela thought to herself, then said, “I’ll go. You’re being watched by all the major powers right now. Even with Hidden Feather, you’ll definitely be detected under their watchful eyes.”

Without waiting for a response, she looked at Penjami.

“Penjami.”

Penjami understood, her eyes glowing blue.

Qiao Sang said, “Then…”

Before she could finish, Penjami disappeared with Michaela.

“We’ll look again tomorrow…” Qiao Sang said the last four words.

“Wuwu.”

Wuyuan called out from the side, indicating that you don’t need to worry about her; as your teacher, it’s what she should do.

“Teacher is too impatient,” Qiao Sang remarked.

Wuwu…

wasn’t it because you just said you were going out to find her…? Wuyuan thought to herself, but nodded in agreement and called out,

“Wuwu.”

She was indeed always impatient.

After saying that, it seemed to remember something, glanced at the cloud beneath Qingbao, and called out,

“Wuwu?”

Should it help Qingbao train now?

Qiao Sang remembered Teacher Michaela’s words and said, “Let’s wait until Teacher finds a suitable training ground.”

Although Qingbao’s Wind Fury Phenomenon wasn’t a skill, its current power was enough to be used as a super-class ultimate move. If there were any forces constantly watching her, it was better not to train her now.

“Wuwu.”

Wuyuan called out, indicating that it would be okay to call it whenever she needed help with training.

After saying that, it turned and went into the smallest room inside.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao called out in disappointment, indicating that she wasn’t going to train anymore?

Qiao Sang looked at it and comforted it,

“It’s only one night. The teacher will definitely find a training ground soon. We can train again tomorrow.”

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao showed an “okay” expression.

At the same time, unseen by anyone, the wires inside the living room TV flickered.

…

Inside a luxuriously decorated villa.

On the living room sofa, a woman with her hair neatly combed was flipping through the documents in her hand. Her hair was half gray, and her wrinkled face was stern and unsmiling.

Beside her, a pet beast made entirely of mechanical material, mostly yellow, opened its eyes, put down its paw from the notebook in front of it, and barked twice:

“Lianlian, Lianlian.”

A man in a suit knelt beside her on the coffee table, looked at the woman on the sofa flipping through the documents, and reported respectfully:

“Qiao Sang is not training. Her teacher went out to find a suitable training ground. Training will officially begin after a place is found.”

“How is Bing Luo Di Miao’s condition?” The woman did not look up, but asked while flipping through the documents.

The man looked at the mechanical pet beast.

“Lianlian.”

The pet beast, mostly yellow, barked, indicating that it was in good condition.

The woman said calmly,

“Continue monitoring the hotel. Qiao Sang’s teacher is Michaela from the Imperial Beast Taming Academy. With her experience, finding a training ground that isn’t monitored shouldn’t be difficult. If we want more information, we can only listen to their conversation in the room.”

“Understood.” The man finished speaking and nodded to the mechanical pet beside him.

“Lianlian.” The mostly yellow mechanical pet cried out, then placed its paw on the laptop in front of it, circulating its energy.

However, it quickly frowned.

The man noticed its unusual behavior and asked,

“What’s wrong?”

The woman on the sofa looked over.

“Lianlian.”

The mostly yellow mechanical pet lowered its paw and cried out, indicating that the network intrusion was unsuccessful.

The man was silent for a second, then looked at the woman on the sofa and reported.

“Looks like we’ve been discovered.” The woman smiled, “The Imperial Beast Taming Academy values Qiao Sang’s participation in this competition quite a bit.”

After saying that, she continued to flip through the information in her hand, saying,

“If you can’t hack in, don’t bother. Go check on the other contestants.”

The man nodded to the mechanical pet.

“Lianlian.”

The mostly yellow mechanical pet called out, placing its paw on the laptop again.

…

On the other side.

Hotel.

Room 3010.

Almost forgot to call Mom… Qiao Sang picked up her phone, ready to dial her mother’s number.

But just then, she sensed something and looked at her phone.

The next second, the phone screen rippled, and a silver eye opened from it.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then asked,

“Have you collected all the information?”

The silver eye blinked.

Immediately afterward, blue subtitles appeared like a projection:

【No, I’m just here to let you know that a mechanical-type pet has invaded this place. Your conversation here may have been overheard.】

“What?” Jo Sang’s eyes widened, then she quickly asked, “If I disconnect from the internet, can I stop the mechanical-type pet from invading?”

The silver eyes blinked.

Subtitles changed:

【Don’t worry, I’ve already stopped the mechanical-type pet from invading. You don’t need to worry about anything else either. I just came to say that what you said earlier might have been monitored.】

Upon hearing this, Jo Sang first recalled her conversation with Teacher Michaela. Finding that she hadn’t revealed any particularly crucial information, she breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, being monitored by a mechanical-type pet was quite unpleasant. After all, there were electronic devices everywhere, and if she really disconnected from the internet, she felt it would be quite difficult to endure. It was great that the Inspector could stop other mechanical-type pets from invading.

Jo Sang looked into the Inspector’s eyes and said gratefully,

“Thank you. I didn’t discuss any crucial information just now.”

The silver eyes curved into a smile.

Subtitles changed:

【That’s good. I’ll continue gathering information.】 The silver

eyes closed, disappearing along with the subtitles.

The phone returned to silence.

…

In the lounge of a hotel suite.

A mechanical pet with four claws on each side of its body took out a finger from the computer, looked at the woman in business attire beside it, and called out:

“Jin Jin.”

“Qiao Sang of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy can no longer be monitored.” The woman in business attire said to the blond old man beside her.

The blond old man looked over and asked in a weathered voice:

“Did you gather any information before?”

“Jin Jin.”

The mechanical pet with four claws on each side of its body thought for a moment, then called out, indicating that the pet named Little Treasure Hunter was live-streaming the giving away of dolls, which was strange.

The woman in business attire helped translate.

“Giving away dolls?” the blond old man asked in a puzzled tone.

The woman in business attire nodded, “That’s right. Actually, we’ve gathered information about this before. When Qiao Sang’s Little Treasure Hunt was on Tianyuan Star, he often gave away dolls via live stream.”

The blond old man pondered for a moment, then frowned,

“Now that they’re preparing for the Interstellar Beast Taming Championship, they’re still giving away dolls via live stream?”

He sensed something was amiss.

“Should I check it out?” the woman in business attire asked respectfully.

The blond old man thought for a moment and said ,

“Find a way to get the doll over.”

“Yes.” After saying that, the woman in business attire looked at the mechanical pet with four claws on each side of its body and said, “Get the doll Little Treasure Hunt sent over.”

“Come in.”

The mechanical pet with four claws on each side of its body barked, then inserted its fingers into the computer.

Soon, the screen changed to show Little Treasure Hunt’s live stream.

…

Hotel.

Room 3010.

“Xunxun~”

“Xunxun~”

Little Treasure Hunt enthusiastically interacted with the viewers in the live stream.

Qiao Sang stood by the window, continuing her phone call:

“I just arrived… in the Zhitia region… the competition venue is here, I need to prepare for the competition, so I’ll be staying here for a while… By the way, Mom, do you want to come watch my competition… Don’t buy tickets, I have a spot for the competition and can invite people over for free… Don’t buy tickets for those who come either, I’ll have Xiao Xunbao pick you up… Don’t worry, I’m definitely confident in the competition, otherwise why would I have come all the way from Tianyuan Star… How’s Faith Beast’s evolution going…?”

After about half an hour, Xiao Xunbao turned off the live stream and glanced at her Beastmaster, who was still on the phone.

Sensing the gaze, Qiao Sang said:

“Mom, I have to go now, I have something to do here. When you’re done, send me your location, and I’ll have Xiao Xunbao pick you up… Don’t worry, I’ll make sure I get some rest, and you shouldn’t overwork yourself.”

After chatting for a couple more minutes, Qiao Sang hung up the phone.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out happily upon seeing this, indicating that many fans from the Tia region had given him their addresses, and he estimated that he could deliver all the plush toys.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang smiled and said,

“Seeing everyone’s reactions on the way here, I knew you must have a lot of fans here.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao floated around happily, then called out impatiently. “

I’ll go deliver the plush toys right now.

” “Don’t go,” Qiao Sang said cautiously. “Many forces are watching us now. It’s best not to act alone. Wait for Teacher and the others to return; Meimei will help deliver them.”

She remembered the news she had read before, about some contestants’ pets going out alone before the competition, wandering into certain places, or eating something that led to them being beaten up by a group of races, or by some mysterious big shot passing by.

Some pets even did something that required them to spend several days in the police station.

In short, they all missed the competition.

These contestants’ pets usually don’t encounter these kinds of things, but they happened right before the competition, which makes it hard not to suspect something. Many netizens believe it was a setup by the opponents.

Although there are still about twenty days until the official competition, just to be on the safe side, she thinks it’s best if Xiao Xunbao doesn’t go out alone.

“Xunxun…”

Xiao Xunbao showed an “okay” expression.

Just then, Ya Bao suddenly sensed something, leaped to the window, opened it, and frowned as it looked out from the windowsill.

At the same time it opened the window, Qing Bao transformed into a gust of wind and floated out the window.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang noticed the movement and asked.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao turned to its beast master and called out, indicating that it had just sensed movement outside the window.

“Is someone listening?” Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang recalled the mechanical-type pet beast that Suo Suo had previously blocked. Her heart sank, yet she felt a pang of emotion. She thought to herself, “The competition is only twenty-odd days away, and so many forces are already paying attention to me. Is this what a large-scale S-rank professional beast tamer competition is like…?

” “Any further movement?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao sensed the situation, shook its head, and jumped back into the room.

“Qing Qing.”

At this moment, a gust of wind blew in from the window, and Qing Bao appeared, calling out, indicating that an ear had suddenly disappeared outside.

An ear? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, asking,

“Did you see what the ear looked like?”

“Qing Qing?”

Qing Bao shook its head, calling out, indicating that the ear was transparent and had been sensed by the wind; it hadn’t seen it.

A transparent ear… Qiao Sang mentally reviewed the information of the contestants from various forces, quickly recalling information that matched the requirements.

Li Yun of the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom, with his Emperor-level pet beast, the Tong Er Monkey, possessing the innate skill “Heavenly Ear,” which allows him to hear sounds from a great distance. With sufficient proficiency, he could even hear sounds from other countries…

Wasn’t this an opponent from the same country? Why are they listening to me?

Wait, I now represent the Imperial Beast Taming Academy…

Qiao Sang walked to the window, somewhat wistfully, gaining a better understanding of the opponents she would face.

This is how S-rank professional beast tamers gather information! It feels so much more sophisticated than the competitions she’d participated in before…

When Teacher Michaela returns, I’ll have to mention it to her and see if there’s any way to soundproof it…

Qiao Sang thought to herself as she closed the window.

No one noticed an ant quietly waiting in the corner.

…

At the same time, in a closed training ground.

On the viewing platform, a middle-aged man with a square face watched the two beasts battling on the field, a satisfied expression on his face.

“Sounds.”

At this moment, a beast, mostly black, called out beside her, indicating that Qiao Sang of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy had discovered two surveillance points.

The middle-aged man chuckled,

“Quite a few people are interested in her.”

You see, there are still more than twenty days until the competition. People will only collect all the past information about the contestants, and they won’t be monitoring them. The real monitoring will only begin when the match list is released and you know for sure that the opponent you will face.
