Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

[Air Absorption, a high-level Flying-type skill that can briefly create a vacuum by absorbing surrounding air.]

A high-level skill, little Gangbao could learn it…

Satisfied, Qiao Sang shut down her computer. Unlike before, she didn’t bother searching for ways to learn the skill on her own.

She was now attending Sainan High School, a well-funded institution. If she didn’t understand something, she could just ask the teachers directly.

Early the next morning, after settling Yabao and the others, Qiao Sang arrived at the classroom and immediately noticed a neatly folded school uniform on her desk.

She turned to look at Tang Yi, white shirt, black vest, black formal jacket, black trousers, he was already dressed in full uniform.

"Just thinking about how I was only one match away from that million-dollar bonus, I couldn’t sleep at all." Tang Yi sighed, slumping onto his desk.

Qiao Sang chuckled.

"What’s there to lose sleep over? Just compete again."

Tang Yi stared at her with a resentful expression.

"Be honest. If you were also just one match away from the bonus and lost it, would you be able to sleep?"

Qiao Sang thought for a moment.

"If I hadn’t experienced yesterday’s arena matches and didn’t know how much the bonus was, I think I’d be fine."

Hearing this, Tang Yi looked even more aggrieved.

At that moment, Yuna leaned over.

"Qiao Sang, are you going tonight?"

"Of course, why wouldn’t I?" Qiao Sang replied.

"Then I’ll go with you." Yuna said with a smile.

"I’ll come too." Tang Yi said without hesitation.

"But once we get there, I won’t stick around. I need to head to the 11th floor and claim an E-rank Beast Master Arena title."

The three chatted for a while before Qiao Sang asked, "Does our grade have teachers who specialize in teaching pet skills?"

Yuna looked a bit awkward.

"Yes, but hardly anyone goes to them."

"Why?" Qiao Sang was curious.

"Because it costs points." A voice answered before Yuna could reply.

Gene, who sat behind her, leaned forward and whispered, "Low-level skills cost 5 points, mid-level skills 10 points, and high-level skills 50 points. It’s a total rip-off."

He then grinned and lowered his voice further.

"But if you really want to learn, you can come to me. I can get someone from outside to teach you. Since we’re classmates, I’ll give you a discount, 20% off. As the champion, low-level skills probably don’t interest you, so I’ll charge you 8 points for mid-level skills and 40 for high-level skills."

Qiao Sang’s mood instantly soured.

"It actually costs points…"

She had assumed the lessons would be free!

"Of course it does." Gene said.

"Any teaching resources beyond the standard curriculum require points."

Yuna nodded silently in agreement.

Qiao Sang remained quiet for a long time.

Suddenly, she felt that studying Air Absorption on her own and teaching it to Gangbao wasn’t such a bad idea after all…

"Do you need it?" Gene asked when Qiao Sang didn’t respond for a while.

"No." Qiao Sang shook her head decisively.

Gene looked disappointed but quickly brightened up as he thought of something.

"If you change your mind, feel free to find me anytime."

Qiao Sang thought, That’s never happening. I barely have enough points for myself.

But now that she thought about it, maybe she should start figuring out how to earn more points…

With that in mind, Qiao Sang sincerely said, "I will. And if you ever need anything, like if you get sick, just come to me anytime."

Gene: ???

At 7:30 PM, Qiao Sang arrived at the Hekin Tower with Tang Yi and Yuna, riding on Yabao.

Tang Yi went to the 11th floor while she and Yuna headed for the 21st.

As soon as they entered, Qiao Sang noticed many people sneaking glances at her, reminiscent of the attention she received during the National Campus Beast Mastering League.

After only a few steps, a staff member quickly approached them.

Yuna handed over her VIP card.

The staff member paused for a moment before carefully accepting it. Then, with an apologetic smile, he said, "Miss, please wait a moment."

He called over another staff member.

"Take this lady to a private room."

Then, he turned to Qiao Sang with a respectful demeanor.

"Miss Qiao Sang, we have prepared a private lounge just for you. Please follow me."

So this was what they meant by fame from a single battle…

Qiao Sang nodded.

"Alright."

Yuna: ???

Wait, weren’t we here together?!

---

That night’s matches went smoothly. Qiao Sang won every round with ease. Even in the final match for the title of Arena Champion, no particularly troublesome opponents showed up.

As she left the arena, the crowd erupted in cheers. Some even held out pens, asking for her autograph.

Caught off guard, Qiao Sang hesitated.

Had she really become this famous after just two days?

As she was surrounded by enthusiastic fans, debating whether to sign autographs, a business card was suddenly handed to her.

She looked up and saw a blond man.

"Miss Qiao Sang, I’m an agent from ChuangSuo Company. Would you be interested in working with us? I…"

Before he could finish, a middle-aged man pushed him aside and handed over his own business card with a polite smile.

"Miss Qiao Sang, I’m an agent from Weidao Company…"

"You idiot! Do you not understand first come, first served?! I wasn’t finished talking!" The blond man shouted, shoving the middle-aged man angrily.

The middle-aged man remained calm, still smiling at Qiao Sang.

"This man seems to have a bad temper. If you work with him, your experience likely won’t be smooth."

Hearing this, the blond man’s face darkened.

"That’s it! I’m fighting you!"

Without another word, he threw a punch.

The two quickly began wrestling each other.

Qiao Sang: …

Seriously? You guys go from talking to brawling just like that?

Fortunately, the staff intervened swiftly and escorted both men out.

At that moment, Jude approached with a smile.

"Miss Qiao Sang, may we talk?"

---

In a private lounge.

Yuna sat on the sofa, tapping away on her phone in a group chat:

[As expected of a champion. Only her second day here, and the official Pet Beast Arena already wants to recruit her.]

Meanwhile, Qiao Sang was engaged in conversation.

Jude explained, "For every match you participate in, we’ll add an extra 10% to the betting pool distribution. You only need to help with promotions and use sponsor-provided items and glyphs during matches."

"Of course, we’ll split the sponsorship payments 80-20, you get the larger share."

"You can even choose what kind of items and glyphs your pet beasts use, and we’ll find the right sponsors for you."

"You’ll always have access to a private lounge, with no interruptions."

"If you have any additional needs, just let us know."

"When it comes to partnership sincerity, no one is more committed than the official Pet Beast Arena."

Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds before asking, "With such generous terms, there’s no way you’re only asking me to use some items and glyphs, right?"

Jude smiled.

"You’re sharp. Actually, there’s one more thing, we’ll need you to enter the arena at crucial moments and win matches for us. And…"

He paused and glanced at Yuna.

"I’ll step outside to make a call." Yuna said tactfully.

She got up, walked out, and considerately closed the door behind her.

Jude turned back to Qiao Sang and continued, "And occasionally, we’ll need you to lose a few matches."
