Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Chapter 100 The Second Arrival

Qiao Sang parked her bicycle by the roadside, took a picture to remember the location, and then boarded the shared flight.

The Large Winged Sharp-Beak, an evolved form of the Sharp-Beak, is typically about 2.5 meters in size.

Beast Tamers riding Flight Type Pet Beasts have no issues, but to carry passengers, one must have an air transport license.

There are specific regulations from the Air Management Bureau regarding carrying passengers on Flight Type Pet Beasts.

Flight Type Pet Beasts measuring 1.5—2 meters are classified as two-person mounts.

Those measuring 2 meters—2.5 meters are classified as three-person mounts.

...

While those between 2.5 meters to 3 meters can carry four people.

The Large Winged Sharp-Beak hovered between the standards for a three-person and four-person mount.

For such beasts that were on the cusp of the size standard, annual measurements of their precise dimensions were required by the Air Management Bureau.

However, many Flight Type Pet Beasts that did not meet the standard were overloaded with passengers.

Qiao Sang opposed such overloading practices.

But times change.

She dared not ask whether this Large Winged Sharp-Beak was overloaded, fearing the truth might be affirmative…

Along the way, the middle-aged uncle talked non-stop.

Initially, the two young men were cold and reluctant to engage in conversation for some reason, but later opened up a bit under the barrage from the middle-aged uncle.

Through the conversations, Qiao Sang learned that these two were also heading to JinSong Village to participate in the relay race’s second leg and felt completely at ease.

“I feel like the prize for the individual first place is better than that for the team first place. If it weren’t for the need to earn money to support the family, I’d definitely give it a try too,” said the middle-aged uncle.

Qiao Sang had been listening to their conversation and couldn’t help asking when she heard this, “What’s the prize for the individual first place this time?”

Her uncle was participating in the marathon solely for the individual first place prize.

Moreover, he and his original teammates also wanted the same prize, which was why he didn’t continue to team up, showing just how popular this individual first place prize was.

Her uncle was the sole breadwinner for a large family.

He had two Pet Beasts to look after, and his eldest son was attending Beast Taming University, a time when expenses were high. Ye Ranran wanted to study as a spiritual botanist, which was also an expensive major—as evident from the many spiritual plants in the backyard, which showed they had spent quite a lot lately.

For a moment, Qiao Sang’s mind was flooded with imaginings of the prize.

Things like cash, spiritual plants, several boxes of Pet Beast energy food—all practical items.

“A photographic collection of Yan Shen and his Pet Beast, taken recently during The Interstellar Cup, brand new and first issue too. No idea how our little broken town got ahold of it,” said one of the young men.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She wanted to go back…

…

By the time they arrived at the relay handover point in JinSong Village, quite a few people had already gathered there.

After registering at the competitor’s check-in, Qiao Sang took her Fire-Toothed Dog to the designated location—at the entrance of the village.

“Just follow the main group, and you won’t go wrong. You remember the Howling Swamp Crocodile, right? The one with the really tough skin, yellow color, and big mouth that greeted you this morning,” Qiao Sang said, still worried.

“Yaobao.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog patted its chest with a paw, looking confident.

“If you get tired, there will be tables with water set up along the route; just help yourself to some,” Qiao Sang instructed.

“Yaobao.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog nodded its head.

Actually, when it was tired, it preferred drinking milk, but since its Beast Tamer hadn’t mentioned it, it assumed there would only be water available.

After saying all that needed to be said, Qiao Sang left the racetrack.

Since the race was for Pet Beasts, Beast Tamers could only wait on either side of the track.

There were 233 teams participating in the marathon relay race, totaling 699 Beast Tamers and 1398 Pet Beasts.

At the entrance of the village, over two hundred Pet Beasts stood closely together, including the presence of High-Level Pet Beasts.

Despite this, the Fire-Toothed Dog stood out and wasn’t overlooked, its distinctive sunglasses and flame-like fur drawing the attention of many.
