Chapter 149: Chapter 144 Forgot to Update Information
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment before she remembered the matter of selecting a task.
“Is the task selected by ourselves, or is it designated by Zheng Baolong?” Qiao Sang asked.
“At that time, the staff at the Beast Taming Center will filter tasks for you based on your pet beast’s attributes, rank, and skills, and then we can pick our own. All you need to do is synchronize the completion progress to Zheng Baolong, and he usually won’t intervene, at most he’ll just scold you a bunch at the end of the task,” Wang Yao answered.
Qiao Sang was silent for a few seconds, “Is there never a situation where he praises instead?”
Wang Yao spread her hands helplessly, “You don’t understand, unless you complete the task perfectly, and the client gives you five stars along with a positive review that leaves Zheng Baolong speechless, he’s definitely going to nitpick and sermonize you.”
“Is it very difficult to get five stars?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.
...
“It’s not just difficult, it’s incredibly tough,” Wang Yao complained. “Some of the task publishers are so hard to please that they won’t give full stars for even the slightest dissatisfaction. Sometimes, even if you’ve clearly solved their problem, they’ll insist there was an issue with your attitude during the task, and leave you a lengthy review criticizing you.”
“Do you remember the three from the group battle team who returned from their task and got scolded on the training field for ages?”
Qiao Sang nodded, “I remember.”
“They took on a task that involved taking turns in sparring practice, and when they left, the person who published the task was still laughing and talking with them.” Wang Yao shrugged, “But after they submitted the task and went back to check, the comments claimed they were too weak and didn’t achieve any training effect.”
A sense of alarm went off in Qiao Sang’s mind, realizing that tasks might not be as simple as she thought.
…
Beast Taming Center in Hangkang.
Third floor, Task Hall.
The hall’s virtual supersize screen constantly refreshed with tasks, displaying either those newly published or the ones that had been lingering unaccepted for a while.
Quite a few people crowded in front of the virtual screen to check for tasks suitable for themselves.
The majority of tasks on display were for the Secret Realm and weren’t suitable for novice Beast Tamers.
“Have all of you registered?” Zheng Guoping looked towards the group of students in front of him and asked.
Shi Gaofeng, Xu Yajie, and others nodded.
“The main purpose of you taking on tasks is for training. Don’t just accept any task for the sake of completion. Consider what the task can bring to you, understand?” Zheng Guoping spoke with a heavy emphasis.
“Understood,” the group responded.
Zheng Guoping nodded in satisfaction and then turned to find a seat.
Wang Yao glanced at Zheng Baolong’s retreating figure and clicked her tongue, then whispered to Qiao Sang, “Aside from the beginning, he has never accompanied us to the Beast Taming Center again. He clearly came because of you this time, and that speech was probably for you to hear.”
Qiao Sang was slightly taken aback and suddenly felt some pressure.
There were 23 task reception windows, and her number was 02899; it was her turn before long.
Qiao Sang approached window 06.
The staff member at the reception was a woman with shoulder-length hair.
“Hello, please show your information card and Beast Tamer badge,” she said.
Qiao Sang fished out her information card and Beast Tamer badge and handed them over.
After scanning, the staff member looked at the information displayed on the computer screen several times with uncertainty.
What’s this? 15 years old? Fire-Toothed Dog and Treasure-seeking Ghost?
Are you serious? Could there be a mistake with the data?
Although filled with doubt internally, the staff member maintained a calm expression on her face.
“It doesn’t show you have an ongoing task here. Are you here to publish a task or to receive one?” she asked.
“To receive,” Qiao Sang said.
“Then, let me filter some tasks for you; please wait. You have a Fire-Toothed Dog, I wonder if it…” she began.
Before the staff member could finish, Qiao Sang interrupted her, “Mine is not a Fire-Toothed Dog.”
Of course.
