1227. Chapter 1222: Plan to Become Number One in Points
Given Tu Lu Long’s personality, he would never allow himself to be ranked second. If Ting Bao could surpass him and become the top scorer, Tu Lu Long would surely be intrigued by the prospect of a duel.
Ting Bao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he called out,
“Ting Ting!”
He was going to find an opponent right now.
With that, he glanced eagerly at the surrounding insect-type pets.
“Xun Xun…”
Little Xun Bao called out, signaling he’d wait.
He then looked at his Beastmaster and shook his head repeatedly.
“Xun Xun~”
“Xun Xun~”
Impossible. The time was too short. Even if Old Six competed without a break, he wouldn’t be able to top the points.
He remembered the Tu Lu Long’s score he’d seen back then: 13,070.
No matter how he thought about it, Old Six couldn’t possibly surpass him.
“Ting Ting…”
Ting Bao’s expression was as if to say, “What should I do then?
” “Who said it’s impossible?” Qiao Sang smiled.
Ting Bao’s eyes lit up again.
“Xun Xun?”
Little Xun Bao called out, curious.
How could he do that?
“A one-on-eight match definitely won’t surpass Earth Dragon, but what if we could defeat more opponents in a single match?” Qiao Sang said.
“Xunxun…”
Little Xunbao mentally calculated how many opponents Tingbao would have to defeat daily to surpass Earth Dragon.
“Let’s go back first,” Qiao Sang said. “We need to plan the competition carefully.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao gathered his thoughts, his eyes alight with a blue light. He disappeared with his beastmaster, Yabao, and Tingbao.
The surrounding insect-type pets looked at each other, then gave expressions of “How boring!” and scattered.
…
Villa.
Room.
Qiao Sang sat at his desk, opened his computer, and searched for information on insect-type pets in Huachang City.
While insect-type pets are generally weak, each has its own weaknesses. For example, some are afraid of fire, some are afraid of water, and some are afraid of lightning.
If there are insect-type pets that are particularly vulnerable to lightning, a large-scale lightning strike can instantly eliminate a large number of them.
“Xunxun…”
“Tingting…”
Little Xunbao and Tingbao stood on the left and right, watching closely.
“Tingting?”
Tingbao didn’t understand and called out, asking what his beastmaster was doing.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao called out while looking at the computer, indicating that he was selecting an opponent that he could defeat quickly.
“Tingting.”
Tingbao’s eyes lit up and he continued to stare at the computer.
Even though he couldn’t understand anything.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao followed his beastmaster to browse, and called out thoughtfully, saying that he felt that even if he found a bug-type pet that was afraid of thunder, it would still be difficult to become the number one in points. Otherwise, he should take Laoliu to find an opponent to fight now.
As Tingbao was his little brother, Tululong looked down on him, which meant he looked down on him. Little Xunbao still hoped that he could fight Tululong again.
“No need.” Qiao Sang stared at a line of words on the computer and said, “I’ve found it.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao hurried over, following his Beastmaster’s gaze.
[Scent Moths, intermediate pets with both flying and insect attributes, are significantly vulnerable to electrical attacks. During thunderstorms, they huddle together for shelter. But if you think scent moths are weak, you’re mistaken. They live in groups, and their scent instantly puts nearby creatures to sleep or paralyze.]
“Xunxun?”
Little Xunbao called out, indicating where they should find them.
Qiao Sang searched on her computer.
The page refreshed.
She looked at the address and said, “Gaoqiu Mountain.”
On Yantian Star, humans and pets coexist, and the locations of pet territories are generally well-known and can be easily found with a simple search.
Little Xunbao glanced at the words “Gaoqiu Mountain” and picked up his phone from the desk. He expertly opened the navigation, entered the destination, and began locating.
“Xunxun~”
The location was complete, and Little Xunbao called out, indicating that they had found it and were heading over.
“Tingting!”
Tingbao nodded vigorously.
“Wait a minute,” Qiao Sang said. “Now’s not the best time to go.”
“Xunxun?”
Little Xunbao called out, his expression puzzled.
So when? Time was running out; the competition would end in a dozen days.
“When Tingbao could hold his breath for a minute, and when it thundered,” Qiao Sang said gravely.
At his usual level, surpassing Tululong and becoming the top scorer in just a dozen days would be impossible.
However, special measures could be used in special circumstances. Tingbao possessed the Thunder Swallowing ability, absorbing lightning during thunderstorms. This not only restored his energy but also temporarily increased the attack power of his electric abilities. He could easily dispatch a group of lightning-susceptible insect-type pets. By then, his points would be skyrocketing.
As Qiao Sang contemplated a bright future, he snatched the phone from Little Xunbao’s paw and checked the weather forecast.
Today, sunny.
Tomorrow, sunny.
The day after tomorrow, sunny.
The day after tomorrow, sunny…
Wow, it’ll be sunny for the next two weeks…
Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then turned to look at Little Xunbao and said, “You should take Tingbao and find an opponent first. I’ll call you when we’re ready to find the scent moth.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao called out, wasting no time. His eyes flashed blue, and he disappeared with Tingbao, who hadn’t reacted yet.
Qiao Sang returned to his computer and began searching.
There were two things he needed to do now. First, find a few more insect-type pets that were afraid of lightning. After all, even if he defeated all the scent moths participating in the pet free points battle, his points wouldn’t exceed those of the Earth Dragon.
Second, find a pet that could change the weather to thunder for a certain period of time…
After more than ten minutes, Qiao Sang had memorized the insect-type pets that were particularly afraid of lightning, as well as their locations. Then he picked up his phone, opened the official app for the Beast Taming Center, and started searching for pets that could change the weather to thunder.
Qingbao’s Thunderstorm does produce thunder, but unfortunately, it’s an offensive skill, and the lightning isn’t pure enough. Tingbao’s Thunder Swallowing ability is only B-level, making it difficult to swallow. It would be better to find a pet that specializes in weather changes.
As soon as he posted, a message popped up in the background:
[Dear Beastmaster Qiao Sang, your quest seeking a Beastmaster or pet capable of causing thunderstorms has been accepted by Master Lei. Please keep your phone open, and User Lei will contact you as soon as possible.]
Qiao Sang was surprised to have accepted the quest so quickly.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated. An unfamiliar number called.
He’d have to find Yabao and the others before answering. This number probably belonged to the user who accepted the quest, and the name clearly indicated a pet… Qiao Sang thought to himself.
“Steel Chief.”
Before Qiao Sang could answer the call and leave, Gangbao flew in and called out, saying, “I thought you might need a translator, so I came.”
“Gangbao, is this the power of our bond?” Qiao Sang, touched, answered the call. (End of Chapter)
