Chapter 72: The Hottest Fugitive

"Kiba!"

The Fire Fang happily barked, seemingly very satisfied with the name.

"This name is already overused. My neighbor's daughter's boyfriend's Fire Fang was also called this," Bai Yunmiao said.

Qiao Sang fell into deep thought beside her.

She had never really thought about names before.

In this society, not all Beast Masters give their pet beasts names.

Some give their pet beasts names similar to online handles, not formal ones.

The purpose is to stand out and attract attention.

Others seek out experts to name their pet beasts based on their attributes, birth date, and birthplace.

But most just pick a simple name from the species name, adding a repeated character to it.

However, as the pet beasts grow, these simple names can become awkward to use.

Because pet beasts evolve.

Regardless of what the Beast Master thinks, many pet beasts become dissatisfied with their original names after evolving.

For example, the Cotton Worm.

Many Beast Masters call the Cotton Worm "Wormy," but its evolved forms, such as the Snow Butterfly or Poison Butterfly, have already undergone a perfect transformation.

At this point, calling them "Wormy" is no longer acceptable.

Since "Wormy" has been called for a long time and has become a habit, changing it to "Butterfly" would be awkward.

Therefore, some Beast Masters simply call their pet beasts by their species names.

Since they are bound by contract, the pet beasts know who is calling them.

Calling them by their species names is fine in daily life, but if the pet beast becomes a spokesperson, it definitely needs a unique name.

"Let's call it Kiba-Bo," Qiao Sang said.

Since they were giving it a name, they might as well choose one that wouldn't sound strange even after the Fire Fang evolves.

"Kiba!"

The Fire Fang protested, still preferring to be called the Hottest Kiba in Hangzhou.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Calling it Kiba-Bo means you are my treasure. Don't you like it?" Qiao Sang pretended to be disappointed.

The Fire Fang hesitated for a moment, then quickly tried to comfort its Beast Master.

"Kiba!"

"Kiba-Bo!"

"Kiba!"

It likes it, so let's call it Kiba-Bo!

"That's good." Qiao Sang immediately put on a serious face.

Bai Yunmiao was used to this scene.

Song Yuan, however, was stunned for a long time.

Truly worthy of someone who dared to contract a fire-type pet beast as their first, she could even make the fire-type pet beast comfort her…

What a talent…

The matter of the name was thus settled.

…

Qingcheng Garden.

When Ye Xiangting returned home, she saw a table full of dishes and some Speed Inducing Fruits, which flying-type pet beasts love to eat.

These Speed Inducing Fruits cost 1500 Alliance Coins each, and she usually couldn't afford them.

Ye Xiangting frowned, her first thought being that her ex-husband had somehow found out that her daughter had been accepted to Shengshui High School and had contacted her daughter.

Just as she was lost in thought, Qiao Sang came out of her room.

"Mom, you're finally back. The food I made has already cooled down."

Ye Xiangting was taken aback and hesitated, "Did you make all this?"

"Yes, to celebrate my winning first place in the Bai Xin Competition." Qiao Sang pulled out a chair and sat down at the table.

"Kiba!"

The Fire Fang ran out of the room and jumped onto Qiao Sang's lap.

First place in the Bai Xin Competition…

Ye Xiangting was stunned again.

She knew her daughter had been participating in the Bai Xin Competition recently.

But she thought it was just for fun…

First place?!

Are all the participants the same age as her daughter, just graduating from junior high school…

Even if that's the case, being first is still impressive…

"I won 200,000 in prize money and bought some Speed Inducing Fruits for Fat Home Pigeon." Qiao Sang pushed the Speed Inducing Fruits in front of Fat Home Pigeon.

"Pigeon!"

Fat Home Pigeon happily flapped its wings.

When it came back with Qiao Sang, it had already been drooling at the sight of the Speed Inducing Fruits on the table, but it didn't move until it knew who had bought them.

Now that it knew it was bought by its young master, Fat Home Pigeon had no more reservations and immediately picked up a Speed Inducing Fruit and started eating it.

Throughout the dinner, Ye Xiangting found it hard to believe what her daughter was saying.

200,000 Alliance Coins…

A pet beast egg worth less than 500,000…

Should she find someone to talk about this…

At 7:22 PM.

Qiao Sang returned to her room, turned on her computer, and prepared to research her second pet beast. She habitually checked the trending topics first.

The trending topics were all about the latest news from the Galactic Cup.

[The True Dark Horse, Felinus!]

[Red West's Regret at the Galactic Cup]

[The Succubus Spirit's Epic Feat of Defeating Three in a Row!]

[All Blue Star Beast Masters Have Been Eliminated]

[Eight People from Blue Star Illegally Entered Tianyuan Star This Afternoon]

Tianyuan Star was the host planet of this year's Galactic Cup.

In every Galactic Cup, there are always a few people who try to sneak in to watch the live matches and get caught, and this time was no exception.

This time, the people who sneaked in were from Blue Star.

She didn't need to click to know that the comments would be full of criticism, blaming the smugglers for disgracing Blue Star.

The Galactic Cup was a sensitive period.

On average, there wasn't even one Beast Master from each country participating.

People's sense of honor had transcended national boundaries and risen to the level of interstellar competition.

Qiao Sang continued to scroll down, and her eyes soon stopped on a particular trending topic.

Among all the Galactic Cup-related topics, one stood out as particularly jarring.

[A-Class Wanted Notice: The Hottest Fugitive]

Qiao Sang clicked to read it.

She swore it wasn't the "hottest" part that attracted her.

The man on the wanted notice had no beauty filters, with a cold, pale complexion, deep-set eyes, and a pair of deep, piercing phoenix eyes that were as cold as a frozen pond.

His lips were tightly pursed, giving off a "do not approach" vibe, but there was no denying that he had an exceptionally handsome face.

Among the fugitives, he truly deserved the title of "hottest."

Qiao Sang continued to read.

[Zhao Xian (male, 28 years old, from Zhehai Xianglin) and his accomplices murdered researcher Tan Yuxin and stole confidential research materials]

As she read on, Qiao Sang's breath caught in her throat.

5 million Alliance Coins!

This guy is worth a lot!

Qiao Sang couldn't help but re-read the wanted notice a few more times.

Since this guy is from Zhehai Xianglin, there's a chance he might return to his hometown.

They are in the same province, so if they happen to meet…

A person with such a bounty is naturally dangerous, but if she encounters him, she doesn't have to deal with it herself; she can call the police and get a reward for the information.

Although the chances are as slim as winning the lottery, one must have dreams.

After memorizing the man's appearance, Qiao Sang continued to browse the trending topics before starting to research water-type, grass-type, and flying-type pet beasts.

In her mind, the priority for the second pet beast's attribute was grass-type, followed by water-type, and lastly flying-type.

The grass-type pet beasts, aside from being expensive, had no other issues.

Water-type pet beasts that can fully utilize their power on land are rare, but Qiao Sang currently wanted one that might learn healing moves.

The flying-type pet beast was purely to satisfy her desire to fly.
