Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 -158: Doppelganger Puppet

Qiao Sang was led into the observation room, while Yaobao had its eyes covered and was taken to the chamber leading to Lost Town.

Before leaving home, Qiao Sang had told Yaobao about bringing it to play in the chamber.

Knowing that it might break through and become stronger, Yaobao naturally had no objections and was eager to try.

The observation room was somewhat like a cinema.

Only the space wasn’t as large, and the lights weren’t turned off.

Instead of a custom special white screen, they used a virtual screen that was currently live broadcasting Yaobao’s movements.

There were a few people scattered around inside, all of whom were Beast Tamers playing the roles of NPC pet beasts in the chamber.

Some Beast Tamers who were worried about their pet beasts would accompany them in the chamber’s backstage, but most chose to watch from the outside.

As soon as Qiao Sang walked in, a girl in the back row stood up and waved, calling out, “Qiao Sang! Over here, over here!”

After selecting the chamber for Lost Town, she had contacted Fang Sisi via her phone, and sure enough, she was here.

Qiao Sang sat down next to Fang Sisi.

“Well, you only tell me when you get here. Were you planning to surprise me?” Fang Sisi asked with a smile.

“Not really, it was just a whim,” Qiao Sang honestly replied.

If the chamber for Lost Town hadn’t been for single pet beasts, she might not have thought about choosing it for the Cotton Caterpillar.

Fang Sisi didn’t mind, and as she watched Yaobao on the huge virtual screen, she exclaimed, “If I had known that the Fire-Toothed Dog had such a handsome evolutionary form, I wouldn’t care if it burnt my hair. I’d definitely bond with one. What do you think about contracting a Fire-Toothed Dog when I get a second page in the Beast Taming Codex?”

After the news that Fire-Toothed Dogs could evolve into Flame Listening Dogs came out, the most interested were naturally the current Beast Tamers of Fire-Toothed Dogs and their friends and family.

When Fang Sisi saw this news, she contacted Qiao Sang immediately and was among the first to know that Qiao Sang’s Fire-Toothed Dog was the very first to evolve into a Flame Listening Dog.

Qiao Sang fell silent for a long while, “You should think it over carefully, it doesn’t burn hair, it burns money.”

Fang Sisi: “…”

Yaobao just had its blindfold removed in the screen.

The surroundings were dim, but faint red light struggled to illuminate the area enough to keep people from being totally blind.

However, cold winds blew incessantly, and the shadows of objects swayed under the eerie light, creating a somewhat sinister atmosphere.

As a Fire Attribute Beast, Yaobao naturally had a warm body and didn’t feel cold.

Looking at the sole passageway before it, Yaobao’s ears twitched and it walked straight ahead without hesitation.

Suddenly, something rolled towards it, making a lot of noise in the quiet space.

Yaobao didn’t lower its head to pay attention and continued to move forward.

The staff in the control room were startled, and commanded through the walkie-talkie, “Bite its leg.”

“That’s a Doppelganger Puppet. Most pet beasts that come to play in this chamber are scared stiff by it. My Cotton Caterpillar wouldn’t even exercise when asked, but the moment it encountered this chamber’s puppet, it performed a hundred-meter sprint,” Fang Sisi laughed as she watched Yaobao on the screen: “But a Flame Listening Dog is a Fire Attribute Beast after all, known for its bad temper. Do you think it might just burn the Doppelganger Puppet?”

“It’s possible,” Qiao Sang answered.

The chambers for pet beasts to play were different from those for people; they could use their skills to deal with obstacles and NPCs.

Chambers were also set up with different difficulty levels according to the pet beasts’ ranks.

This store wasn’t large, but it did have chambers with difficulty levels suitable for mid-level pet beasts, since most Beast Tamers could raise them with a bit of effort.

If Yaobao was to overcome its fear, it definitely shouldn’t be scared into running around aimlessly; it should confront the challenge head-on.

In the chamber, under the dim light, a head with sharp teeth and matted fur opened its eyes and mouth upon hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie and pounced ferociously towards the red and white figure not far ahead.

However, just as it was about to bite, the red and white figure’s right hind leg suddenly kicked backwards, hitting the face of the aggressor with precision and sending it flying several meters away.

“Demon, demon!”

Following a scream, the head rolled several times, seeing stars, losing a fake tooth, and even shedding a clump of cheap fur from its head.

The staff in the control room were stunned for a moment before hastily speaking into the walkie-talkie, “Prepare number 2! Prepare number 2! The player is on their way now.”
