CHAPTER 807: ACADEMY OF SOCIAL AND PET BEAST BEHAVIOR

Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

"Xun xun…"

Little Treasure removed his ring, slowly enlarged in size, then reached in with his paw and pulled out Adinishi, who was still stuffing snacks into its mouth.

Liu Yao stared in astonishment at the fat pet beast he had never seen before. Then, realizing something, he shakily pulled out his pet beast identifier from behind Sky Bat and aimed it at the creature in front of him.

"Dee dee."

Adinishi, unfazed, kept eating.

A mechanical voice sounded in the living room: [Identifying… Please wait… Sorry, unable to identify. Update recommended.]

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure thoughtfully handed over his own pet beast identifier.

"Thanks…" Liu Yao took it and pointed it at the feasting pet beast.

[Let me see, let me see…] A voice identical to Little Treasure's soon rang out: [Adinishi, a legendary phantom beast, awakens only once every hundred years. It's said the sound of its flute can predict the exact location of a pet beast's next stage of evolution… Oh my goodness, it's really Adinishi! Although it looks different from the documented image, its red flute is unique! Master, you've made it big! I got to identify a legendary phantom beast!]

"Dee- hic-"

Adinishi glanced at the identifier, let out a burp, and continued eating.

A- Adinishi. It really is a phantom beast… Liu Yao's pupils contracted violently. His mind buzzed, as if it crashed and could no longer function.

As an experienced breeder and researcher, he had seen plenty of rare pet beasts.

But a phantom beast, that was a whole other level!

You couldn't just describe it with the word rare.

He had never dreamed that he'd get to see a phantom beast with his own eyes!

And from another planet no less, now standing less than three meters away!

Liu Yao stood there, dazed and dumbfounded, like he'd lost his wits.

He couldn't fathom how Qiao Sang had encountered Adinishi in such a short time, and brought it home.

This was even more surreal than meeting Lin Ya and bringing him home as a friend.

After all, Lin Ya was human. He could talk. His schedule was occasionally public and traceable.

A phantom beast, on the other hand, was shrouded in mystery, the stuff of legends.

Liu Yao stared blankly at Adinishi for a long time, and finally murmured: "...It really is a phantom beast."

He looked at Qiao Sang.

That gaze was as if he were looking at a maniac.

"Vice Principal, Adinishi ate all of Yabao and the others' energy pills. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to make some more." Qiao Sang said apologetically. ȓἁΝО𝐁ËȘ

"How could you let Adinishi eat their energy pills?!" Liu Yao's expression instantly shifted, voice filled with urgency.

This is a phantom beast! There may only be one in the whole world!

Yabao and the others' energy pills were custom-made for their physiques.

What if something happened to Adinishi after eating them?!

Qiao Sang waved a hand and said helplessly: "I didn't want to either, but Adinishi got into Little Treasure's ring and ate all the food stored inside."

"Dee dee…"

Adinishi, while still munching, responded lazily.

It wasn't eating for free, those snacks were interest for playing the flute.

Little Treasure snorted, but didn't translate.

He had already given Adinishi lots of food before.

Liu Yao had now somewhat calmed down. He took a deep breath and finally asked the question that had been burning in his mind: "How did you find Adinishi?"

"Well, I went to the 30th District…" Qiao Sang animatedly began explaining everything that had happened in the 30th District.

The more Liu Yao listened, the more serious his expression became.

He hadn't expected Qiao Sang to experience so much in just a few days.

"...It's good that you came back safely." Liu Yao finally said with emotion after hearing the full story.

Then his gaze drifted back to Adinishi, still eating silently beside them.

If going through all that meant bringing back a phantom beast… who wouldn't want to?

After a pause, Liu Yao asked again: "Why did Adinishi come back with you?"

Qiao Sang thought for a moment.

"I'm not sure. It insisted on following me."

She glanced at Adinishi and added, "Maybe I helped it with something, and it trusts me."

Honestly, she had some suspicions.

Adinishi seemed to really like food, it had eaten everything in Little Treasure's ring, and its mouth hadn't stopped moving since. She strongly suspected that it had come along for the food.

But with Adinishi right beside her, she didn't dare say that aloud.

"Dee dee."

Adinishi nodded while chewing, clearly confirming her suspicions.

Seeing this, Liu Yao finally couldn't hold back: "Don't eat so recklessly, it's not good for your health."

Adinishi ignored him.

Qiao Sang chimed in, "He's a breeder. The energy pills you ate in the ring earlier were made by him. If you like them, you can tell him your preferred flavor. He can customize energy pills just for you."

Liu Yao froze, then carefully asked: "Is Adinishi going to be staying here long-term?"

"Not sure, but for now, yes." Qiao Sang replied.

"I asked Adinishi to help predict the next evolution site for Yabao and the others, but since it just did one not long ago, it needs time to rest before it can do another prediction. So it'll be staying here for a while."

S-Staying under the same roof with a phantom beast?!

Liu Yao's expression froze for a few seconds, then his face turned bright red. He looked at Adinishi, eyes sparkling like lasers.

"I'm in! Whatever flavor of energy pill you like, I'll make it for you!"

"Dee dee."

By now, Adinishi was almost full. Its appetite wasn't as intense as earlier.

It looked at the human in front of it, then at the one who brought it from the 30th District, and nodded, no problem.

Usually composed, Liu Yao looked ecstatic, even elated.

Being able to custom-make energy pills for a phantom beast, this was worthy of a life achievement record!

"Then… may I examine you and ask a few questions?" Liu Yao asked cautiously.

"Dee dee." Adinishi nodded.

At once, Liu Yao dashed upstairs to fetch his diagnostic tools and began examining Adinishi carefully.

Qiao Sang watched for a bit, then remembered she still had things to finish. She returned to her room and uploaded the finalized list of pet beasts she wanted to rent.

8:40 PM.

In her room.

The Body Forging Bug slowly crawled out of Qiao Sang's mouth.

After sending it off, Qiao Sang rushed to the bathroom and vomited for a while. She turned on the tap and rinsed her mouth with water.

Looking at herself in the mirror and recalling the recent training, her expression became dazed.

After this period of training, the pain from the bug entering her body had greatly diminished.

But on the night before she left for the 30th District, there was still some pain.

Yet just now, when the Body Forging Bug entered her body, there was barely any pain at all, only a mild nausea.

"Gang Slice?"

Just as she was thinking that, Gangbao flapped her wings and flew in, looking curious. She chirped, asking why she couldn't use different skills simultaneously with her clone the way Big Brother Yabao could.

Qiao Sang looked at her and patiently replied: "Your clone just learned the skill. Back when Yabao first learned how to clone, he couldn't immediately use different skills with the clone and the main body either. This all comes with practice."

"Gang Slice?"

Gangbao called out again.

So how does she practice?

"You have to learn how to multitask."

Qiao Sang, already experienced from previous training, explained smoothly: "First, you summon your clone. Then have your main body do one thing within the range where it can control the clone, and let the clone do something else."

"When you first start practicing, don't choose anything too difficult. For example, have the clone train while the main body feeds the Cha Cha Stones, that level is fine."

The crystals produced by the stones weren't nearly enough to fill Gangbao anymore.

But they all got along well, and Gangbao had gotten into the habit of preparing chili peppers for the Cha Cha Stones every day. Qiao Sang never brought up the idea of sending the stones away.

Every journey might come with some pet beasts she could bond with. Even if she couldn't form contracts, she didn't mind looking after them for the duration of the journey.

Of course, more importantly, the Cha Cha Stones didn't eat much, and she could still afford to raise them…

"Gang Slice…"

Gangbao seemed thoughtful after hearing her master's words. Then she nodded and flapped out of the bathroom.

When Qiao Sang stepped out of her room and went to the living room, the sight that greeted her was Gangbao using a robotic vacuum cleaner to clean.

She had a realization and turned to the glass wall that allowed a view of the outdoor training ground.

There, she saw a steel-feathered falcon identical to Gangbao controlling purple-glowing feather blades midair.

For a moment, Qiao Sang was full of emotion and couldn't help thinking of Little Treasure.

If Little Treasure had to practice multitasking, he would definitely make his clone play video games with him…

"Xun xun…"

Over by the coffee table, Little Treasure, who was teaching Adinishi how to play video games, suddenly felt an itch in his nose and raised a paw to rub it.

"Feel good?" Liu Yao was behind Adinishi, professionally giving it a massage.

Massaging a pet beast that ate too much helped with digestion.

"Dee dee."

Adinishi looked relaxed and signaled it felt okay.

Qiao Sang glanced over, her mouth twitching. She said: "Little Treasure, get ready. We're going to treat patients."

Dean Liz had already sent over the list of terminally ill patients. Her unlimited-use spending card was about to expire, and she didn't want to waste any chance to make money.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure chirped sweetly at his master, then turned to look at Adinishi, and his smile immediately disappeared.

"Xun xun."

He asked, should it come too?

"Dee dee."

Without hesitation, Adinishi closed the laptop and nodded.

Early morning, villa.

Qiao Sang yawned as she got up and habitually picked up her phone.

When she saw the notification from the Yulianton University backend, she immediately perked up, fully awake: [Student Mu Jing from Class 3, Year 3 of the Pet Psychology Department has accepted your task. Please confirm.]

Qiao Sang quickly logged into the backend, checked the photo and details, and clicked confirm.

Memories could blur over time, so the sooner she verified the evolution scene she saw, the better.

Besides, the planet was huge, unless the location had very distinct architecture or landscapes, finding the exact evolution site wouldn't be easy.

After a quick wash-up, Qiao Sang went to the living room and was immediately greeted by a breakfast feast on the table.

By now, she was no longer a rookie at pet beast training. She instantly recognized that nearly all the food on the table were high-energy pet beast breakfasts.

"Why did you make so much breakfast?" She asked, looking toward Liu Yao, who was busy in the kitchen.

Liu Yao beamed: "I noticed that Adinishi eats a lot, so I made a few more dishes to see which ones it likes."

So this was the treatment a phantom beast got…

Qiao Sang pulled out a chair and sat down. Staring at the table full of food, she hesitated: "What about mine?"

Liu Yao paused, then silently put down the berries he was holding, opened the fridge, pulled out a few slices of bread, and popped them into the toaster.

"I'll make yours now, it'll be ready soon."

Qiao Sang: …

Why did it feel like ever since Adinishi arrived, her own status had plummeted…

---

Forty minutes later.

Yulianton University.

"Where have you been these past few days?" Dorothy asked.

"I went to the 30th District."

Dorothy blinked.

"Why go there?"

Qiao Sang didn't hide it: "I received word that Adinishi might be in the 30th District, so I went to see if I could run into it."

Dorothy looked shocked.

"You went to that chaotic place just for this?

Qiao Sang looked back at her.

"Isn't that enough of a reason?"

"Phantom beasts aren't something you can just expect to see whenever you want." Dorothy scoffed.

"There are lots of places that spread rumors about phantom beasts or legendary pets just to attract people and boost local economies."

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment.

"The intel I received wasn't fake."

Dorothy raised an eyebrow, teasing: "Don't tell me you actually met Adinishi?"

Qiao Sang didn't reply. She pulled out her phone and opened a photo of Little Treasure being clung to by Adinishi, handing it over.

Dorothy didn't think much and glanced down...

In just one glance, she froze, stunned speechless.

Adinishi? That was Adinishi in the photo?

Qiao Sang really did meet the phantom beast Adinishi?!

Dorothy stared at her in disbelief, about to ask-

Qiao Sang shushed her: "Keep it secret."

Dorothy instantly clamped her hand over her mouth and nodded repeatedly.

---

After the morning classes ended, Qiao Sang didn't waste time and headed straight to the Academy of Social and Pet Beast Behavior.

Very soon, she saw someone downstairs who matched the profile photo.

Black hair, brown eyes, gentle features, with a scholarly air about him.

He clearly recognized her too. Jogging over, he extended a hand with a smile: "Hello, I'm Mu Jing."
