849. Chapter 845 Assessment Task (Two in One)

has already started for half a year… Qiao Sang subconsciously pondered.

She had searched before the plane took off. The destination was Changqing City, located in the Zhongkong area of Mutian Province, and there were 11 prefecture-level cities in Mutian Province.

It takes half a year to complete 11 assessments, which means that on average it takes about 16 days to complete one assessment. Excluding the time on the road, it takes about half a month to complete the assessment of a prefecture-level city.

Well, it shouldn’t be a big problem… Qiao Sang put away the identity card and the beast badge, thanked him, and turned to leave.

His calm expression and chic turn instantly aroused the excited discussion of the two staff members.

“Did you see it?”

“I saw it!”

“Oh my God, she’s not even 18 years old and she has three general-level pets. This is the first time I’ve seen that!”

“Just now when I said there was only half a year, look at her disdainful look. She doesn’t seem to think the time is too short at all. She looks so confident.”

“If I had such strength at her age, I would definitely be more confident than her.”

“Do you think we’ll see her in this year’s regional competition?”

“It’s hard to say. If she had signed up for the assessment within the first month of registration, there would have been no problem. But now there’s only half a year, so it’s hard to say. You know, the assessments in some cities are particularly disgusting. A beast tamer blogger I follow posted a video not long ago, saying that the examiner in Tianti City asked him to get 10 kilograms of wood gland grass. One or two taels of this thing cost 10,000 Alliance Coins. If he didn’t buy it, he would have to go to Secret Realm No. 39 to pick it. Secret Realm No. 39 is only open for one month a year. When he took this task, the secret realm was open, but there was only one day left. The examiner was obviously making things difficult for him.”

“What you said is relatively simple. At least it can be done with money. I know one…” The staff at window No. 19 was about to share gossip.

At this time, the person waiting to handle the business at the window couldn’t help but ask: “Have you finished talking?”

The staff quickly cut into the working state and showed a standard smile:

“Hello, what business do you need to handle?”

…

Beast Taming Center.

Third floor.

At the door of the examiner’s office responsible for assessment matters, Qiao Sang knocked twice.

The office of the examiner responsible for assessment in each prefecture-level city is located in the Beast Taming Center of each city. There is no need to make an appointment in advance, just go to the door directly. As long as it is during working hours, the examiner is basically there.

“Please come in.” The person inside said.

Qiao Sang pushed the door open and saw a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, a big belly, and no memorable points.

“Hello, I am a beastmaster who signed up for this year’s regional competition. I am here to take the assessment task.” Qiao Sang stepped forward, handed over his ID card, and got straight to the point.

Why does she look like a child… The middle-aged man was surprised by the immature appearance of the black-haired girl in front of him.

You know, the upper age limit for participating in the regional competition is 40 years old. People in their 20s are considered young to come for the assessment, but this is the first time he has seen someone so young since he became an examiner.

He took the ID card and verified the identity.

“Hiss…” The middle-aged man looked at the computer screen and was silent for more than ten seconds to digest the somewhat unbelievable information in front of him.

I am an examiner, I must be steady, I must be steady… He took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and began to look for suitable tasks in the assessment tasks.

The assessment tasks of each city are not actually questions that the examiners come up with on a whim, but are listed by the government and major institutions. To-do matters, or suitable tasks that have not been accepted for a long time are selected for beastmasters who want to participate in the regional competition.

If there is an urgent need to handle it, it will be given priority as an assessment task.

If not, it depends on the examiner’s own considerations.

The middle-aged man carefully browsed the assessment tasks, and finally his eyes fell on a certain line. He picked up the ID card, handed it back to Qiao Sang, and said:

“One of the warehouses of our city’s pet props center has recently discovered that props have been stolen. You can help the police to assist in the investigation, or act alone. No matter which method, as long as you catch the thief, you will complete the assessment.”

“Later, I will send the contact information of the person in charge of the warehouse and the police officer in charge of this case to the background of your Beast Taming Center app. You can contact them directly when the time comes.”

Catch the thief… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and asked:

“How long has this case happened?”

If someone else asked this question, the middle-aged man would definitely answer directly and ruthlessly: Wouldn’t you go ask the person in charge and the police officer yourself?

But the person who asked this question was a peerless genius who had three general-level pets before the age of 18.

He looked down at the computer screen without thinking and checked the detailed information.

After about half a minute, the middle-aged man looked up and said,

“The first theft happened a month ago, and it happened twice more during that time. This task was only registered a week ago, and there is no record after that. However, the fact that this assessment task is still there means that the thief has not been caught yet.”

He told everything he knew and analyzed it.

Who said that the examiner is difficult to deal with? Isn’t this a good speech… Qiao Sang nodded:

“I know.”

When she left the office and came to the first floor, she saw Teacher Mikaela at a glance.

“Have you registered?” Yabao’s flaming wings were too conspicuous. Mikaela also noticed Qiao Sang through Yabao at a glance and walked up to ask.

“Okay.” Qiao Sang nodded.

“What about the assessment task?” Mikaela asked.

“I got it too.” Qiao Sang said, “We are going to catch a thief.”

Hearing this, Mikaela said calmly, “This kind of task will be issued as an assessment, which means that the police here have not caught the thief yet. This thief should have some ability.”

After a pause, she changed the subject and said considerately,

“We have just arrived in Longguo. You should have a good rest and do the task tomorrow.”

She rushed here just after getting off the plane, registered and took the assessment task. She didn’t want to tire out this genius who she would meet again in who knows how many years.

“I won’t rest.” Qiao Sang said seriously, “There is only half a year left before the regional competition begins. I am already half a year later than others. I have to hurry up and complete the task.”

Mikaela was silent for a while, and her tone softened a lot. She persuaded,

“You are still in the development stage, and rest is also very important.”

Qiao Sang still had a serious face,

“It’s okay, my Lubao will have healing light.”

Mikaela: “…”

…

5:22 p.m.

High in the sky.

Qiao Sang sat on Yabao and headed for the prop warehouse.

Just now, she contacted the person in charge of the warehouse, and the other party sent the address.

Qiao Sang took the phone and began to contact the police officer in charge of the case.

After two “beep” sounds, the call was connected, and a man’s voice came from the speaker:

“Who is it?”

“Hello, I have accepted the assessment task of the theft of the prop center warehouse at the Beast Control Center. I was thinking about meeting and getting a general understanding of the details of the case.” Qiao Sang said.

“Don’t you see what time it is now.” The man said impatiently: “I’m about to get off work. If you want to know the case, contact me tomorrow when I go to work.”

After that, he hung up the phone.

Qiao Sang: “…”

It’s no wonder that this case appears in the assessment task when you are so unenthusiastic in handling the case… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but complain in her heart, touched Yabao’s fur, and said:

“It seems that tonight, we can only rely on ourselves.”

“Ya Ya!”

Yabao shouted excitedly and ran faster.

…

Changqing City, suburbs.

Half an hour later, Qiao Sang arrived at the prop warehouse.

There are many warehouses in the pet props center, and the warehouse where the case occurred is located in a relatively remote suburb.

When Qiao Sang just rolled off Yabao, he saw a staff member in work uniform and a crocodile-like bipedal pet in the same work uniform standing at the door waiting.

“Excuse me, is this Miss Qiao?” The staff member saw Yabao’s powerful and gorgeous appearance, and felt relieved. He ignored Qiao Sang’s slightly immature appearance and walked over quickly.

“It’s me.” Qiao Sang didn’t intend to waste time and went straight to the point: “I need to know when the last theft occurred in the warehouse.”

“It was at 9:05 last night.” The staff member said while leading the way into the warehouse: “I happened to be on duty last night, but I didn’t hear any movement inside, and the surveillance did not capture any traces of people or pets.”

“Then how do you know that the things were stolen at 9:05?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Because I watched the surveillance later, the things were still there at 9:04, but they were gone at 9:05.” The staff member answered clearly.

Soon, the two came to a shelf and stood still.

The staff pointed to an empty spot: “It’s here.”

He couldn’t help but complain: “We reported the case a month ago, but the warehouse here is full of defective props. The people at the headquarters don’t pay attention to it, and the police don’t pay attention to it either…”

As the staff was talking, Qiao Sang picked up the shrunken Yabao and placed it in front of the empty shelf.

“Ya Ya.”

Yabao closed his eyes and put his paws on the empty spot.

The staff was stunned for a moment and asked: “Are you going to let your pet smell the smell left by the thieves here?”

Yabao put his paws on it, not his nose… Qiao Sang didn’t answer him, but closed his eyes at the same time as Yabao.

In the month on the starship, Yabao couldn’t train skills related to attack power, but could only train meditation and skills such as tactile perception. He had already successfully trained his tactile perception to the ultimate level on the way here.

It was no problem to review what happened last night.

Seeing this, the staff also understood what skills this pet he didn’t know was performing, and instantly closed his mouth and didn’t disturb him again.

The scene in front of her changed. The shelf at this position was no longer empty, but a purple cylindrical prop was placed on it.

Then, the cylindrical prop suddenly moved.

Then, it disappeared.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao opened their eyes at the same time.

“Did you find anything?” the staff asked hurriedly.

“It should be a ghost pet.” Qiao Sang said.

The staff couldn’t figure it out: “Ghost pets can be invisible, but how can they make the props disappear all of a sudden?”

You don’t even know this… Qiao Sang was a little surprised, and suddenly understood how the vice principal viewed her asking those seemingly stupid questions.

Soon, she realized that since she became a beastmaster, she has been dealing with the best of her peers. After arriving at Chaoxiu Star, the people around her are also geniuses who are several years older than her. Their knowledge is no longer at the same level as ordinary beastmasters.

Living in that environment for a long time, she naturally didn’t feel that there was anything wrong. She even felt that she didn’t study enough every day, but in fact, she had accumulated a lot of knowledge that ordinary beastmasters didn’t have.

“When the ghost pet’s stealth property reaches level B, it can turn any object it touches invisible.” Qiao Sang explained.

The staff and the crocodile pet showed a look of sudden enlightenment at the same time.

“But the ghost pet can pass through walls and become invisible. We can’t deal with it at all. I’d better contact the police and tell them to send someone over.” The staff took out his cell phone and prepared to dial the police number.

Qiao Sang remembered the attitude of the police officer in charge of this case and said,

“Let’s contact them tomorrow morning. Now we only know that it is a ghost pet, but there is no sign of it. The police will not come just because they know the attributes of the pet. I will investigate it myself.”

The staff put down the phone: “How are you going to investigate?”

Qiao Sang smiled slightly: “As long as it is confirmed that it is a ghost pet and it was indeed here last night, the next step will be simple.”

After that, she looked at the staff:

“Where is the blind spot of your surveillance on the wall?”

Ghost pets must have passed through the wall. She has a little treasure hunt and knows the habits of ghost pets very well. Most ghost pets will show up uncontrollably when passing through the wall, observe the surrounding scenes, and then hide their bodies.

The surveillance screen did not capture it, which means that this ghost pet should have passed through the blind spot of the surveillance. Without

saying a word, the staff immediately led Qiao Sang to the blind spot of the surveillance, pointed to the corner of the wall, and said, “It’s here.”

Qiao Sang nodded to Yabao.

“Ya!”

Yabao instantly understood what his beastmaster meant, stretched out his claws and placed them on the wall, closing his eyes.

Qiao Sang closed his eyes at the same time.

The scene in front of him changed, and it was pitch black, with only a little moonlight coming in through the iron window above.

Not long after, a pet beast with a body almost purple and a gas-like body appeared out of thin air beside the wall.

It looked around and disappeared.

This pet beast is… Qiao Sang suddenly realized another problem.

That is, he has almost learned about the pet beasts on Chaoxiu Star and the rare pet beasts on various planets, but he doesn’t know so much about the ordinary pet beasts on Blue Star except for the Yuhua area.

It seems that during this period, he still needs to learn about the pet beasts in the Zhongkong area. After all, in the Zhongkong area competition, most of the players are from this area, and the pet beasts sent are basically local pet beasts… Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts, looked at the position of the air on the side, and said:

“Go to the other side of the wall.”

“Xunxun~”

In the confusion of the staff, Xiao Xunbao appeared, his eyes glowing blue.

The next second, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao disappeared from their original place and appeared outside the building.

The staff stared blankly at the place where Qiao Sang was originally, and did not react for a moment.

At the same time, outside the wall.

Ya Bao put his paw on it and closed his eyes.

Most ghost pets will subconsciously show up to observe when they pass through the wall, and the same is true when they go in and out.

The scene changed and soon came to last night.

Under the moonlight, there was no movement around the wall.

Qiao Sang closed his eyes and said, “Let time flow to today.”

“Ya.”

Yabao closed his eyes and called out.

The scene in front of him changed from night to day, and then back to night. Qiao Sang saw himself, Yabao, and Xiaoxunbao appearing here out of thin air.

Everything stopped abruptly.

Qiao Sang suddenly opened his eyes, and a thought flashed through his mind:

the ghost pet might still be inside…

Ah, thank the boss of Buzhutiankong for the reward!
