1217. Chapter 1212: Consequences of Purifying the Curse (Part 1) (Two-in-One)
A bolt from the blue!
Little Xunbao froze.
After a few seconds, it snapped back, took a step back, and called out in a trembling voice,
“Xunxun?” “
Three, three more hours of training for the original?
” Qiao Sang smiled, “If you don’t want to train for three more hours, have Tingbao accumulate over 200 points every day.”
“Xunxun…” Little Xunbao cried out, his face changing dramatically.
200 points a day? This, this is too hard…
Qiao Sang continued to smile, “Then you train your original for three more hours every day.”
Tingbao accumulates over 200 points every day, and I train my original for three more hours every day… Little Xunbao quickly calculated in his mind.
Laoliu already had to compete daily. If he constantly sought out opponents, accumulating over 200 points a day wouldn’t be impossible. And his own avatar was already training every day. He’d have to take Laoliu out to fight opponents all day, and then have to train his original for three more hours after returning. That would be too much.
Lao Liu, big brother, I’m so sorry… Little Xunbao finished his calculations, looked hesitant, and called out,
“Xunxun…”
He’ll work hard to get Lao Liu to accumulate at least 200 points every day…
“Ya Ya,”
Yabao called out, listening to the conversation. “How about we do both? Once you’ve accumulated 200 points with Tingbao every day and come home, I’ll train for three more hours. “
To him, training is a serious matter. If he puts in a little extra time and effort every day, he can accomplish both tasks his beastmaster has outlined.
“Xunxun?!”
Little Xunbao looked at Yabao in disbelief and called out. “
Are you a demon?
” “Ya Ya?”
Yabao called out, his expression puzzled. What kind of demon is that?
Gangbao, watching from the side, couldn’t help but laugh.
“Qingqing~”
Qingbao was delighted, nodding repeatedly and calling out in agreement.
He thought it was a great idea.
The wind around him lightened with his mood.
“Xunxun!”
Little Xunbao cast a pleading look at his beastmaster.
Yabao is even more ruthless than me… Qiao Sang coughed and said, “Just do as I say. Little Xunbao needs a break, too.”
“Xunxun!”
Hearing this, little Xunbao nearly burst into tears of gratitude.
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao, standing beside him, gave a look of “you’re lucky!”
“Ya Ya.”
Yabao nodded and called out, agreeing.
“Xunxun!”
Little Xunbao raised his two short toes, swearing, and called out firmly.
He promised to help Laoliu accumulate more than 200 points every day from now on!
He had looked so hesitant before, but now he was so determined… Although Qiao Sang had expected this, she couldn’t control her facial expression and smiled.
At the same time, within the barrier, the pet wearing the referee’s certificate blew the whistle to signal the end of the match and called out,
“Lili.”
The barrier then vanished.
Qiao Sang looked up and saw that all six electric-type pets had fallen to the ground. A virtual panel appeared above Tingbao:
[Species: Thunder Dragon]
[Level: Intermediate]
[Points: 56]
[Ranking: 1000+]
“Tingting!”
Tingbao called out energetically, signaling its continued competition and asking who would be its next opponent.
The surrounding electric-type pets exchanged bewilderment, then scattered.
After two matches, they had all realized the dragon-type pet’s absolute resistance to electricity.
Soon, the surrounding electric-type pets returned to recharge or departed.
Tingbao froze for a moment, instinctively glancing towards where Xiao Xunbao was.
Then, it spotted its own beastmaster, Yabao, and the others.
Tingbao’s expression was one of surprise, then a thought struck it, and a guilty look took hold. Tingbao twisted his body and flew over, calling out,
“Tingting?” “
Why are you here? “
“I came just to see you,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
“Tingting?”
Tingbao called out, asking if something was wrong.
Qiao Sang didn’t answer, but instead asked,
“What were you guys doing?”
Tingbao paused for a moment, then looked at Xiaoxunbao. “
Don’t look at me, don’t look at me…” Xiaoxunbao turned his head away, avoiding his gaze.
His own beastmaster knew everything… Tingbao suddenly understood.
“Tingting.”
It was silent for a moment, then called out, indicating that it had been playing.
Such honesty… Qiao Sang was stunned, not knowing how to respond.
“Tingting.”
Just then, Tingbao called out again, indicating that it had wanted to eat and play on its own, and that the boss hadn’t dragged it along.
Its expression was sincere, and it was obvious that it was sincere.
Xiaoxunbao: “…”
Really, you might as well not say it…
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao called out, saying, “Old Six, stop covering up for Xiaoxunbao. He saw everything you did.
” “Tingting?”
Tingbao called out, somewhat unconvinced, asking, “What did you see?”
“Qingqing.”
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao immediately recounted the scenes his clone had seen in detail.
“Xunxun…”
Little Xunbao interrupted mid-sentence. “
Stop talking! Isn’t it enough for it to admit it?”
“Tingting.”
Tingbao called out seriously.
It was because the eldest brother saw that he wanted to play that he took him out.
Little Xunbao looked at Tingbao in a daze.
He didn’t expect that at this critical moment, Tingbao would still speak for him.
Laoliu… Little Xunbao was suddenly very touched.
“Okay, it doesn’t matter who takes who out to play.” Qiao Sang said, “The important thing is that you have to accumulate more than 200 points every day in the future competitions.”
“Tingting.”
Tingbao nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then, as if he had just realized it, he called out:
“200 points doesn’t mean 200 opponents, right?”
“Xunxun.”
Little Xunbao nodded heavily.
Tingbao was silent, imagining the scene of himself fighting 200 opponents a day.
200 seems like a lot…
As the thought flashed through his mind, Qiao Sang pulled out his phone, checked the time, and said,
“It’s getting late. Hurry and find your opponents and try to accumulate the required points for today before tomorrow.”
“Tingting.”
Tingbao breathed a sigh of relief when his beastmaster didn’t question him and his boss about the past two days’ fun. He nodded.
“Xunxun?!”
Little Xunbao exclaimed in disbelief.
Do we need to accumulate 200 points today?!
“Of course,” Qiao Sang said.
“Xunxun…”
Little Xunbao tried to argue, but it was already quickly approaching seven in the evening…
Qiao Sang laughed, “Who said it was seven o’clock in the evening? You’ve been playing all day, so you’ll have to make up for it in the evening.”
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao couldn’t help but smile, nodding repeatedly in agreement.
“Xunxun…”
Little Xunbao tried to argue again.
Qiao Sang interrupted, “Go ahead, and don’t forget the other thing I told you.”
If Tingbao didn’t accumulate 200 points, he’d have to train three hours a day in his main body… Little Xunbao’s expression suddenly turned serious as he remembered this. He called out,
“Xunxun.”
He got it.
With that, his eyes glowed blue, and he vanished with Tingbao.
Pretty quick… Qiao Sang picked up his phone, activated the navigation system, and said,
“Let’s go to the next mission location.”
…
a charging station three kilometers away.
“Tingting?”
Tingbao surveyed the surroundings and called out, indicating where we were.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao called out.
This is another charging station. Don’t worry, I’ve memorized the locations of all the surrounding charging stations. I’m sure we’ll find enough opponents.
It had already figured out that the number of electric-type pets that could charge at a single charging station was limited. Furthermore, according to the competition rules it had seen, it couldn’t compete with the same opponent twice, otherwise it would be suspected of cheating. So, it had searched for the locations of numerous charging stations.
With that, a worried expression crossed its face , as it prepared to begin.
“Tingting,” Tingbao called out, signaling a wait. ” Xunxun! ” Little Xunbao called out anxiously, signaling that they couldn’t wait any longer, or they wouldn’t have enough time to accumulate 200 points today! ”Tingting?” Tingbao called out, simply wanting to know what their Beastmaster had just said. ”Xunxun…” Little Xunbao froze, then sighed and called out, indicating that their Beastmaster had said, “I’m the one taking you out to play. If you don’t accumulate 200 points every day, I’ll have to increase your training time. ” It didn’t choose to lie. ”Tingting…” Tingbao called out with a guilty expression. If it hadn’t played for so long, this wouldn’t have happened… ”Xunxun~” Little Xunbao called out soothingly. It’s okay, just fight hard every day from now on, and I’ll find you opponents. ”Tingting.” Tingbao showed a serious expression, indicating that he would fight well and strive to win all the games. Little Xunbao was deeply relieved to hear this. Although this little brother was the last one to be recruited, he felt that this little brother was the most suitable for him. ”Tingting.” Just as Little Xunbao was about to start his performance, Tingbao called out again. If he didn’t accumulate 200 points a day, then you, the boss, would have to work hard. ”Xunxun~” Little Xunbao was stunned for a moment, patted Tingbao’s head, and called out seriously. Don’t worry, the boss will definitely make you do it. After saying this, he showed an extremely worried expression and raised his voice: ”Xunxun!” Don’t think about challenging eight opponents without even starting a game! The surrounding electric pets looked over. Tingbao: “???” … 7:20 pm. Villa, living room. On the dining table. Mikaela glanced around and asked, ”Where are Night Ring King and Thunder Dragon?” Lubao, who was tucking into her energy meal, pricked up her ears. ”They’re still out there competing,” Qiao Sang said, taking a bite of her food. Mikaela was a little surprised. It wasn’t uncommon for pets to go out on their own beforehand, especially Night Ring King. But no matter how late it got, they’d always come back for dinner. This time, they hadn’t, and Qiao Sang didn’t wait for them to return before eating. Qiao Sang took a sip of his soup and continued, ”I’ll go find them after I finish eating and bring them some food.” Mikaela thought this made sense, but after some thought, she cautioned, ”Thunder Dragon is still young, a juvenile. Long competitions and training aren’t ideal. Ten hours a day is usually enough.” In the past, Thunder Dragon’s combined competitions and training never exceeded ten hours, so she hadn’t said anything. But today, it was noticeably longer. She remembered the Thunder Dragon going out for the competition in the morning. Ten hours. Even if you count from the time she separated from Xiao Xunbao and the others in the afternoon, and Tingbao played non-stop until midnight, it still wasn’t ten hours… Qiao Sang said, ”I understand.” Michaela knew Qiao Sang wouldn’t have any problems with that, so she changed the subject: ”How’s Yabao’s Sacred Fire training going?” He’d mastered it, but there wasn’t a burning sensation yet… Qiao Sang replied, “Still the same. No noticeable improvement.” It was right. This was a super-level skill, nearly divine-level. How could it improve just by spending two days on a curse-breaking quest?… Michaela internally grumbled and asked, ”What was the most difficult curse to break today?” ”Yabao!” Hearing this question, Yabao couldn’t help but look up and call out. Qiao Sang translated, ”It’s a curse that renders people speechless. The quest-giver has been cursed for three years. Yabao spent a long time casting Sacred Fire to purify it.” Michaela pondered for a moment and said,
“You’re probably talking about the Aphasia Curse. Here, it’s typically afflicted by a ghost-type pet called the “Mellie-Sounding Monster.” They naturally enjoy pleasant voices, and if they encounter a person or pet with a bad voice or a poor singing voice, they’ll curse them.”
After a pause, she added,
“This curse has a time limit, lasting three years. The ghost-type pet that casts it appears to be quite high-level and skilled, so be careful.”
When a ghost-type pet’s curse skill reaches a certain level of proficiency, its curse is cleared, and it will sense it no matter how far away it is.
Research has shown that some ghost-type pets, after their curses are cleared, will seek out the pet or beastmaster who cleared it and curse them.
Therefore, even if some pets or beastmasters possess the ability to clear a curse, they won’t act rashly.
Qiao Sang wasn’t exactly a learned man, but he was well-informed, so he naturally understood this.
As she ate her meal, she said nonchalantly,
“I know. Even if the ghost-type pet that cast this curse comes knocking, we still have Yabao. Its sacred fire can cleanse the curse.”
Michaela thought this made sense, and stopped talking.
After dinner, they cleared the table. Qiao Sang picked up Xia Lala, took Yabao and the others, and set out to find Xiao Xunbao and Tingbao, following the locations found in the Beast Taming Codex.
Teacher Michaela was right. Tingbao was still a child.
This stage of childhood is when children are subject to numerous environmental disturbances. Xiao Xunbao wasn’t inherently bad, but he was the most playful of the Yabao and the others. If Tingbao was left alone with Xiao Xunbao for long periods, he’d likely be affected by this. She had to make time to keep an eye on him from time to time.
Qiao Sang walked, sensing the direction.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to her, and she sighed inwardly.
If only Yabao could also move through space…
“Steel Chief.”
Just as he was thinking about it, Gangbao silently enlarged his body size and called out, saying, “Sit on it, it’s faster this way.”
“Qingqing.”
Before Qiao Sang could speak, Qingbao happily floated up, tore off a part of the white cloud on his body, and stretched it out.
Soon, the torn white cloud was like a white cloud cushion.
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao patted the white cloud cushion and called out sweetly to his beastmaster.
Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up when he saw this.
Gangbao: “…” …
At
the same time, in a music bar somewhere, a humanoid ghost-type pet was making a face, looking unhappy. (End of this chapter)
