Beast taming, starting from zero point

"Ya Ya?"

Yaobao’s eyes lit up and it instantly perked up.

Everyone knows my name?

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Spirit handed the phone over, calling out in a slightly aggrieved tone.

Look, your name’s on the trending search, but mine isn’t. I clearly won three matches in a row too...

Qingbao shot it a look.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao barked once, meaning I still can’t read, you just read it out loud.

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Spirit called, meaning there’s a trending topic with your name in it up there, but none with mine.

"Ya Ya."

Yaobao was happy, but still restrained the corners of its mouth a bit, calling once to say this really isn’t that big a deal.

"Xun Xun!"

Little Treasure Spirit called out.

Of course it’s important! All those famous Pet Beasts are the ones everyone can call by name!

"Ya Ya..."

Yaobao’s tail swayed, both proud and a little embarrassed.

So it’s actually gotten famous...

Qiao Sang glanced at the phone, quickly locking her gaze on the trending topic Little Treasure Spirit was talking about:

[The name of Fendiduo, Yaobao!]

It really was a standalone entry just for the name... even that can hit the hot search... Qiao Sang was a bit surprised, but quickly thought of why and said:

"It’s probably because I kept calling Yaobao’s name during the match."

"Xun Xun!"

Little Treasure Spirit hurriedly called out upon hearing that, meaning then call my name during the next match too.

Qiao Sang laughed lightly. "Okay."

Everyone knowing a Pet Beast’s name does show how popular it is. The more people like Little Treasure Spirit, the more Energy it Absorbs; even if it didn’t bring it up, she’d be the one to actively mention Little Treasure Spirit’s name.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Spirit immediately showed a happy expression and called out.

Qingbao looked over at Little Treasure Spirit with a slightly disdainful gaze, then turned to its own Beast Tamer. It didn’t say anything, but its eyes carried a hint of expectation as it blinked.

"My name, my name..."

Qiao Sang listened to the wind around her, coughed once, looked at Qingbao and the others, and said:

"Of course, I’ll mention all of your names."

Qingbao’s eyes curved, and the wind around them grew light and cheerful.

"Ice Emperor."

Lubao called out calmly, meaning it didn’t need that.

Honestly, it wasn’t quite sure what significance there was in having everyone know its name. They were just here to compete; as long as it could win, that was enough.

"Steel Authority."

Gangbao called once, meaning it didn’t need it either. It only needed everyone to know its Species.

"Ting Ting."

Tingbao heard what Lubao and Gangbao said and called once, meaning since everyone else doesn’t need it, then it doesn’t need it either.

"Qingqing!"

Qingbao, who originally hadn’t planned to speak, got anxious the moment it heard that.

Who says it doesn’t need it? It does!

After speaking, Qingbao realized it had just failed to keep up the act. It quickly put its expression back in order, looked at its Beast Tamer, and called again in a sweet voice:

"Qingqing."

It just felt like having everyone know its name would be pretty nice too.

Qingbao, you really don’t have to pretend; the sound of the wind already sold you out... Qiao Sang had just opened her mouth to speak.

"Dong dong..."

Suddenly, the door was knocked twice.

Qiao Sang swallowed back what she’d been about to say and replied:

"Come in."

The door opened; the staff member who had led the way earlier stood at the doorway and said respectfully:

"Miss Qiao, there are reporters outside who’d like to interview you. Would you like to accept? If you don’t want to, I can take you out through another exit later."

Qiao Sang thought for a moment, then said:

"I’ll accept the interview."

She paused, then added, "Right now."

Lubao heard this and skillfully walked over to the backpack, hopping in.

Qingbao’s Wind Transformation faded away.

Qiao Sang slung the backpack with Lubao inside over her shoulder, waved her hand to return Gangbao and Tingbao to the Beast Taming Codex, picked up Yaobao, and headed for the door.

The staffer hurriedly led the way.

Not long after, Qiao Sang arrived at the interview area and sat down at the designated spot.

As if they’d just spotted a Rare Pet Beast, all the reporters’ eyes lit up; they suddenly grew excited, and every camera lens swung over to focus squarely on her.

"Candidate Qiao Sang, how do you usually train your Pet Beasts?"

"May I ask how you managed to cultivate Fendiduo’s new evolved form?"

"Candidate Qiao Sang, as the youngest A-level Beast Tamer in history, do you have any methods for rapidly developing the brain domain?"

"Candidate Qiao Sang, at what age did you awaken your brain domain?"

"What’s your take on the results of today’s matches?"

"There’s a rumor online that Yuliandun University once rejected your guaranteed admission application. Is that true?"

"The Fierce fire Yaobao awakened today was golden—is that because it possesses S-rank Sun Power?"
