Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285: Chapter 272: Failed, Next One

Seeing Shi Gaofeng reminded Qiao Sang of their agreement to visit the Beast Taming Center.

Almost every Beast Tamer will go through an assessment of their rank.

Even if one’s goal wasn’t to become a Professional Beast Tamer, every Beast Tamer who met the qualifications would be eager to try for an E-rank while they were still considered rookies at the F-rank level.

It wasn’t that reaching an E-rank Beast Tamer was very impressive, but the preferential treatment provided by the Alliance was simply too tempting.

The ranking of a Beast Tamer was not determined by national policies but was uniformly recognized by the Alliance in all countries and even on other planets.

As long as a Beast Tamer reached the E-rank, they could enjoy a 10% discount on any paid services at any Beast Taming Center throughout the Interstellar.

It was well known that Beast Taming Centers were widespread across the Interstellar, and any Beast Tamer would inevitably deal with them.

Pet care, check-ups, Beast Tamer cerebral domain scans, material grade testing, dining services, and lodging were all common areas where Beast Tamers needed to spend money.

The amount of money saved after the discount over a year amounted to a substantial expense.

The money saved with that discount could potentially cover the down payment for a house in a third-tier city.

"Are you ready to go to the Beast Taming Center for the assessment now?" Qiao Sang immediately asked.

Shi Gaofeng approached with a chuckle. "Smart, I’ve been waiting for you for ages. You don’t have anything else to do now, do you?"

Qiao Sang shook his head. "No."

Compared to obtaining the qualification certificate for an E-rank Beast Tamer, the upcoming competition events didn’t seem that appealing.

"Then let’s go now," Shi Gaofeng said.

Qiao Sang naturally nodded in agreement.

During the sports festival, the school was open, which allowed students to come and go freely. This was the main reason Shi Gaofeng chose to take the Beast Taming assessment during the sports festival period.

Qiao Sang rode atop Yaobao while Shi Gaofeng used an electric skateboard for travel.

Along the way, the two chatted idly.

"When did your Treasure-seeking Ghost evolve into a Treasure-seeking Demon?" Shi Gaofeng asked.

His tone was somewhat envious; Qiao Sang already had a Flame Listening Dog, and to his surprise, her Treasure-seeking Ghost had evolved into a Treasure-seeking Demon just a month after school started.

It hardly seemed fair.

"Just last week," Qiao Sang replied.

Although she usually trained at the training ground after school, she didn’t stay long, and Xiao Xunbao liked to stay invisible, so it was mostly Yaobao who trained.

After the last group chat, she remained unseen, and later on, because Shi Gaofeng and the others could not bring their phones to school, they naturally didn’t know beforehand about the Treasure-seeking Ghost’s evolution into a Treasure-seeking Demon.

Shi Gaofeng glanced around to make sure there was nobody nearby, then he lowered his voice and asked Qiao Sang, "Tell me the truth, did your Treasure-seeking Demon absorb some strange energy?"

Qiao Sang was taken aback. "Strange energy?"

Shi Gaofeng lowered his voice even more. "Like life energy or something."

Qiao Sang: "..."

"How is that possible, that’s illegal," Qiao Sang said in disbelief.

Shi Gaofeng pursed his lips, still skeptical.

Spectral-type Pet Beasts typically evolved and grew quickly by absorbing energy. If it weren’t for the absorption of some energy prohibited by national laws, how could it evolve so fast?

Moreover, it was very odd for a Spectral-type Pet to learn Combat Series skills.

However, he remembered reading a news article online where a Spectral-type Pet, as a result of absorbing the life energy of a Deep Sleep Scorpion, went from needing only two hours of sleep to requiring nine hours each day.
