1210. Chapter 1205 Registration
Half an hour later, in a villa planted with all kinds of expensive flowers, plants, and fruit trees, Mikala handed over the keys and password to the landlord.
“Gua Gua.”
The pumpkin-like pet pointed to the courtyard full of plants and called out, expressing the hope that you can take good care of them during this time.
“Mo Mo.”
Dragon King translated.
“Don’t worry, we will take good care of them. If you feel that we can’t take good care of them, just deduct the deposit.” Mikala said.
Just now, she paid a considerable deposit.
“Gua Gua.”
The pumpkin-like pet finally showed a satisfied smile and turned to leave the villa.
“Xia Xia!”
Xia Lala happily floated towards the courtyard.
“Is there no housekeeper this time?” Qiao Sang looked around and asked.
“There are plenty of restaurants in Huachang City that cater to grass-type pets. You can try different dishes every day, so there’s no need for a butler to cook every day.” Mikaela looked out the French window at Xia Lala, flitting among the flowers, and smiled.
“Besides, Xia Lala enjoys taking care of plants and flowers. Even without a butler, I’m sure she can take good care of them.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
As expected, everything revolved around Xia Lala… Qiao Sang internally grumbled, then nodded in agreement. “You’re right,”
he said, and took Xiao Xunbao to the chosen room and began packing. After
a quick tidying, Qiao Sang went to the living room and looked at Xia Lala in the courtyard. Just as he was debating whether to take her out with him,
Xia Lala noticed his gaze, glanced over, and with a narrowed eye, floated over and called out,
“Xia Xia.”
“I’m going out now. Do you want to come with me?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Xia Xia,” Xia Lala nodded without hesitation.
“I’m going to do some work. It might be a bit boring,” Qiao Sang expressed his concerns.
“Xia Xia,” Xia Lala called out sweetly, signaling she didn’t care.
Really… Qiao Sang’s heart softened. After picking up Xia Lala, he pulled out his phone, located the location, and said to Little Xunbao,
“This location, let’s go now.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao glanced at the phone and nodded.
Just as its eyes were about to glow blue, Qiao Sang warned,
“Don’t forget to stay and train with your Stand.”
Little Xunbao: “…”
Little Xunbao sighed and activated his Stand.
“Xunxun…” Before
Little Xunbao could say anything, his Stand looked at his original body, sighed, and then drifted off towards the open-air training ground.
Little Xunbao had been watching the landlord explain the layout of the villa, and he knew the location of the training ground, so the Stand naturally knew it too.
“Bingdi,”
Lubao, knowing where his beastmaster was going, called out, signaling he wouldn’t be going.
With that, he headed towards the open-air training ground.
Tingbao followed without a word.
“Tingbao, don’t go to training. Come with me,” Qiao Sang called out, noting the situation.
Tingbao stopped, turned to look at his beastmaster, a puzzled expression on his face, and called out,
“Tingting?”
Are we going to the competition now?
“No,” Qiao Sang said, “I’m taking you to register. The pets participating in the competition must be present.”
“Tingting…” Tingbao looked at Lubao’s retreating back, then at his own beastmaster, then back at Lubao’s retreating back again. Finally, he made up his mind, turned around, and twisted his body to fly in his beastmaster’s direction.
Little Xunbao’s eyes flashed blue.
The next second, Qiao Sang and Yabao disappeared from the spot.
…
Half an hour later.
At the Beast Taming Center.
Qiao Sang finished taking on several curse-lifting tasks and headed for Window 13.
Window 13 was dedicated to handling registrations for various competitions, and many people and pets were waiting in line.
After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, a mechanical voice finally sounded:
“Please proceed to window 13, number B188.”
Qiao Sang checked the number in his hand, picked up Xia Lala, and walked over. After handing her the number sheet and the beast badge, he said,
“I’d like to register my pet for the Pet Free Points Battle.”
The staff member, noticing the color of the badge, immediately became extremely respectful and asked,
“Which pet is participating?”
“Thunder Dragon,” Qiao Sang pointed to Ting Bao standing nearby.
“Okay, please show me your ID bracelet,” the staff member said.
Ting Bao didn’t move.
“ID bracelet,” Qiao Sang reminded him.
“Ting Ting,” Ting Bao finally realized and lifted the paw holding his ID bracelet and placed it on the counter.
To register, one must be a Dragon Nation citizen, regardless of which planet they were from.
The staff member picked up the device and scanned the ID bracelet. After having Tingbao look at the camera, they said,
“You’ll need to pay a deposit of 5,000 Alliance Coins. You can scan the QR code, pay by card, or pay in cash.”
Qiao Sang was stunned. “A deposit?”
This was her first time encountering a competition that required a deposit.
The staff member hummed, then patiently replied, “Because the Pet Free Points Battle you’ve signed up for requires you to wear a points recorder during the competition, we require a deposit for the recorder. Once the recorder is returned at the end of the competition, we’ll refund the deposit.”
So that’s how it was… Qiao Sang took out her phone and scanned the QR code to pay.
Soon, a staff member handed over a spherical bracelet and a competition notice, saying,
“This is the score recorder. Press the white button on it, and a referee will come. The number displayed is your score.”
“The contents of the competition notice are all important information. Take a look.”
Qiao Sang took it and noticed that the spherical bracelet showed “0”. She then glanced at the competition notice, and a thought suddenly occurred to her.
“What if wild pets come to register? Can they understand the words on the competition notice?”
This was a B-level beastmaster from Blue Star, a B-level beastmaster from Blue Star… The staff member replied respectfully,
“For pets, we’ll send them the relevant videos for them to review. You’ll also have relevant videos sent to your phone later.”
“I understand,” Qiao Sang said, taking back her beast badge and leaving the beast control center.
As soon as she left, the sun blazed down.
Tingbao looked at Xiao Xunbao expectantly, hoping that he would teleport back immediately.
Xiao Xunbao understood Lao Liu’s intention and gave him a look that said, “Don’t look at me. I don’t have the final say.”
Tingbao understood immediately and looked at his beastmaster with anticipation.
Qiao Sang quickly read the competition instructions and said,
“First, find an opponent to compete with. I’ll take a look at the general situation, then I’ll take Yabao to the task. From then on, finding an opponent for the competition is up to you.” (End of this chapter)
