Chapter 73: Where Is the Discrimination?

6 min read1,405 words

Among these three types of pet beasts, there are quite a few priced below 500,000.

However, if you want a pet beast that has a healing skill in its genetic skills, it's very hard to get one.

It's not that there are no pet beasts at this price point.

It's just that pet beasts that fit this price range and also have a healing skill in their genetic skills are usually pre-ordered by internal personnel or official organizations.

Ordinary beast masters without channels or background relationships can only settle for other pet beasts.

After all, having such a pet beast significantly increases survival rates.

Even if they want to become doctors or nurses in the future, they have a shortcut.

Among these pet beasts, grass-type pet beasts make up the majority.

In the situation where everyone wants them but can't get them, the price of grass-type pet beasts has been hyped up, which in turn has driven up the prices of other grass-type pet beasts that don't have inherited healing skills.

For example, Bai Yunmiao's Golden Vine was reserved for her because her father has worked in a government unit for over ten years.

Therefore, even though grass-type pet beasts are mostly gentle, few people recommend them as pet beasts for new beast masters.

It's impossible to buy a pet beast with a genetic skill that has a healing ability.

Qiao Sang focused on pet beasts that might learn healing skills later on.

There are not a few pet beasts that can learn healing skills later on.

However, considering potential and high racial evolution limits, the range of pet beasts that fit these criteria is significantly reduced.

After two hours of research, Qiao Sang finally narrowed it down to three pet beasts.

They are the Cherry Cotton, Water Lamp Crocodile, and Fluffy Bird.

As long as the Cherry Cotton and Water Lamp Crocodile have no issues with their potential, they can likely learn one or two healing skills with specialized training.

The Fluffy Bird has a body as soft as cotton.

Its evolved form, the White Swift Bird, also retains its soft body structure and has a speed that ranks among the top in the same level of flying-type pet beasts.

The riding experience can be considered top-notch.

Most importantly, the prices of these three pet beasts are all between 480,000 and 500,000 league coins.

The pet beast egg exchange voucher given by the New Talent Competition is a one-time use.

Regardless of whether the pet beast egg is priced at 100,000 or 500,000, it's the same.

Since that's the case, it's definitely better to choose the more expensive one.

After making the decision, Qiao Sang turned off the computer, washed up, and lay on the bed with her hands behind her head.

Looking at the chandelier on the ceiling and listening to the sounds of her Fire Fang Dog playing with the Fat Pigeon in the living room, Qiao Sang's thoughts wandered, thinking about what she needed to do next.

Tomorrow, she will go to buy the pet beast egg, the day after tomorrow, she will sign the endorsement contract, and she has also agreed with her aunt to go back to her hometown in the middle of the month.

Today is only July 5th.

Song Yuan said that the contract signing will be followed by a shoot to take advantage of the New Talent Competition's popularity and promote it early.

If that's the case, she actually has nothing to do on July 8th, so she might as well go to her hometown earlier...

The sounds of play in the living room soon stopped, and the door to her room, which was slightly ajar, creaked open.

The Fire Fang Dog poked its head in and, seeing that its beast master was still awake, happily jumped onto the bed in a few steps.

"Ya."

It lay on its side in its beast master's arms, finding a comfortable spot to sleep.

A few seconds later, the Fire Fang Dog suddenly thought of something, opened its eyes, jumped off the bed, closed the door, and then returned to find a comfortable spot to lie down.

Qiao Sang felt very gratified.

It was worth all the hard work she had put in over the past month.

Back then, the Fire Fang Dog wasn't so well-behaved.

The three pet beasts she chose all have gentle personalities, so once they hatch, they will definitely get along well.

The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the more she felt hopeful about the future.

Before going to sleep, she checked the Beast Codex as usual.

When she looked, she was stunned.

【Name: Fire Fang Dog】

【Attribute: Fire】

【Level: Beginner (192/1000) +】

【First Trait: Blaze

Level: D (1/500)

Status: (Difficult to use)

Description: (When status is below 1/4, potential can be activated, fire-type skills increase by 2 times, speed increases by 2 times)】

【Skills: Bite (Beginner 74/100) +

Ram (Proficient 483/500) +

Fire Fang (Intermediate 645/2000) +

Spark (Intermediate 786/2000) +

Shadow Clone (Proficient 3/500) +

Flame Whirl (Proficient 164/500) +

Flame Charge (Proficient 109/500) +】

【Points: 454】

Oh my!

The Fire Fang Dog's level points increase by 1 or 2 points every day, but how did it suddenly have 30 more points than yesterday!

Also!

How did the trait appear!

The description is much more detailed than the skills...

And it seems that, like the skills, it can be directly upgraded with points.

Qiao Sang looked at the data, which was completely different from yesterday, and her heart raced.

She remembered that after defeating the small dragon, the points increased by 60.

From 220 to 280.

This made her more certain that the system increases points based on the opponent's strength.

Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why the small dragon, a beginner pet beast, and the desert fox, a mid-level pet beast, only differed by 20 points.

But today, during the semi-finals, she added 25 points and 91 points to Shadow Clone and Flame Charge, respectively, after fighting the Scale Absorber.

In theory, the points should have been 164.

Considering that defeating each mid-level pet beast earns 80 points, the points should have been 404.

But now, it's 454 points.

This means that one of the mid-level pet beasts she defeated today earned her far more than 80 points.

If there's no mistake, it should be the Scale Absorber...

But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that the pattern of point changes for all the data is different from before!

In the past, after the Fire Fang Dog used a skill, the corresponding skill points would increase by one point.

After the match with the small dragon yesterday, the Fire Fang Dog's data increased as usual after training.

But today, the Fire Fang Dog fought and defeated three mid-level pet beasts in succession.

To celebrate, she came home early to cook and didn't let it continue its usual training.

However, the data doesn't show an increase based on the number of times the skills were used in the match today; instead, it mysteriously increased by a lot.

No!

The data for Spark, Flame Charge, and Shadow Clone still increased according to the usual pattern.

The problem lies with Ram, Fire Fang, and Flame Whirl.

What's the difference between these skills...

Qiao Sang tried hard to recall the scenes from today's match.

Three minutes later.

"Wha—"

Qiao Sang promptly covered her mouth.

The Fire Fang Dog was already asleep, and she almost woke it up.

But.

Might as well really wake it up...

It's not too late, and she can go downstairs to verify her hypothesis...

If it's really as she thinks, the efficiency of skill training will definitely increase significantly, and the time required will be reduced accordingly.

This will leave more time for other things.

Qiao Sang looked at the Fire Fang Dog, who was drooling in his sleep, under the light.

In the end, she couldn't bear to wake it up.

She habitually picked up a tissue from the bedside table and wiped the drool from the Fire Fang Dog.

Forget it...

Let it sleep.

She can wake it up early tomorrow; there's no rush...

...

The next morning.

"Ya."

The Fire Fang Dog looked at Qiao Sang, who was still in bed, with a conflicted expression.

Her beast master really can sleep.

Should she wake her up?

It's hungry.
