Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Chapter 84 Let’s Do It Together

“Magnetic!!!”

The Magnet Rodent suddenly leaped to the corner of the cage, screaming in fright.

The person in the inner room turned over and continued to sleep without paying any attention.

In the past two days, the noise made by the Magnet Rodent hadn’t been small. The person inside had become accustomed to it, from initially being annoyed.

Those people had specifically sought out freshly caught pet beasts to use as ingredients, priding themselves on the health and freshness of their food.

A lively beast was good; movement proved the Magnet Rodent was still alert. Otherwise, a lethargic and listless one would easily be returned by customers.

...

The Magnet Rodent huddled in the corner of the cage, shivering intensely.

It remembered its mother saying that ghostly creatures were even more terrifying than the thorn-tailed lizards on the mountain.

Its great-grandfather had been cursed by a spectral-type pet and had turned into a female Magnet Rodent, dooming its great-grandfather to live his days in gloom and ultimately choose to leave his homeland.

It couldn’t also be about to change gender, could it?

If it returned to the mountain now, surely no one would recognize it!

Just as the Magnet Rodent was about to cry without tears and was in a turmoil of confused thoughts, the bottle of milk that couldn’t make it into the cage due to the barrier suddenly vanished.

Before the Magnet Rodent could begin to feel relieved, the milk abruptly appeared inside the cage.

“Magnetic!!!”

“Xun.”

Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, quickly appeared.

The Magnet Rodent’s cries came to an abrupt halt as it stared blankly at the small spectral creature before it.

It didn’t seem as terrifying as its mother had described…

“Xun Xun.”

“Xun.”

“Xun Xun, Xun.”

The little Treasure-seeking Ghost tirelessly explained its intentions.

The Magnet Rodent hesitated for a while, then began to confirm its suspicions incredulously.

“Magnetic?”

“Magnetic?!”

“Xun.” The little Treasure-seeking Ghost nodded its head.

“Magnetic!”

The Magnet Rodent cried out excitedly.

It nodded solemnly, indicating that it would cooperate with all its might.

But the next second, the Magnet Rodent’s spirits drooped again.

It pointed at the cage, then at itself.

“Magnetic.”

“Xun.”

At that moment, the little Treasure-seeking Ghost took off the ring and placed the milk inside it.

The Magnet Rodent was stunned.

It looked again at the little Treasure-seeking Ghost, eyes filled with admiration.

“Xun Xun.”

The little Treasure-seeking Ghost pointed at the ring and then at the Magnet Rodent.

“Magnetic!”

The Magnet Rodent nodded vigorously and without hesitation leaped into the ring.

After the little Treasure-seeking Ghost put the ring back on its head, it vanished from sight.

The dim room quieted down once more.

The person inside felt nothing amiss; instead, they felt relieved that their ears were finally at peace.

…

Outside the residential area.

“Why are you going up the mountain for Bahorn Grass? Can’t you buy it online?”

“I mainly want to save some money.”

With nothing else to do, the two of them started to chat casually.

“Why did you think to come to your hometown for the summer vacation?” Jing Wen asked.

“I mainly wanted to help my Fire-Toothed Dog evolve,” Qiao Sang replied.

Jing Wen was taken aback and really wanted to make a snide remark.

Do you remember you’ve just graduated from junior high? If pet beasts evolved so easily, the mountains around Qitang Town would have already become a dangerous realm!

However, she then thought about Qiao Sang’s recent actions and swallowed the words.

What right did she have to sneer at someone else? She might end up in the hospital just from trying to climb a mountain, and now, to rescue the Magnet Rodent that had saved her, she had to rely on her cousin.

If she had been a Beast Tamer, Zhang Huai wouldn’t have dared to catch Magnet Rodents in front of her with his father so brazenly.

Ultimately, it was because they didn’t take her seriously.

While Jing Wen was feeling downcast, Qiao Sang asked, “I heard from my aunt that you want to become a Spiritual Plant Master?”

Jing Wen nodded, a bit embarrassed, “With autonomous recruitment, a major in Spiritual Plant Mastery counts for 60% of the score, plus 20% for culture classes. The remaining 20% is based on pet beasts. I want to give it a try.”

“You’re the most studious one in our generation besides me. I believe in you,” Qiao Sang said.

You?

Studious?
