Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Chapter 145 Searching for the Ghost-absorbing Lantern

This task is both easy and well-paid, and if it were any other time, Qiao Sang might have taken it, but the moment she thought of Zheng Baolong’s words, she didn’t consider this task further.

Yaobao had trained Spark’s mastery to the pinnacle of its Mystique, and in terms of controlling the output of Fire Element energy, it was as skilled as a master chef controlling the heat for outdoor cooking, which naturally wouldn’t serve as any training at all.

Qiao Sang scrolled down several more entries.

[Task: Look for a Fire Attribute Beast with a good image and temperament. Beast Tamers who are eloquent are preferred. Pay by the day, details to be discussed in person.]

[Task Location: No. 91, Xinde Street, Fengwu City, Zhehai Province, Baosu Fire Series Training Gym]

Although the task didn’t specify what it was about, any Beast Tamer who knew the ropes understood.

...

This kind of task is similar to hiring fake roomers—each training gym, when newly opened, would hire some Beast Tamers to pretend to sign up, making real potential clients think they were a step behind and couldn’t get a spot anymore.

To put it plainly, the training gym was hiring extras.

It wouldn’t serve as any training, so she passed.

[Task: I’m severely insomniac and am looking for a Grass-type Pet Beast that can use Hypnosis Powder or a Spectral-type Pet that can perform hypnotism.]

Too simple, pass.

[Task: Hiring a Fire Attribute Beast with camouflage Skill for a three-day performance, only 3 hours required each day.]

Camouflage is all about manipulating the shape of the released flames without changing their power; it’s just a change in the shape of the flames, a Skill mostly learned by Pet Beast performance artists.

Yaobao can’t do it, pass.

Qiao Sang had been looking for a long time and couldn’t make a choice.

There were plenty of tasks, but not many met the criteria for acceptance and could provide training opportunities.

“Hello, do you have any requirements for the task you want to take?” the staff member asked enthusiastically.

Qiao Sang looked up and replied, “I’d like something with a certain level of difficulty that can provide good training.”

Hearing this, the staff member gave her a respectful look. Just look at her! Not only a genius but also so hardworking, she truly deserves to be so awesome.

“I think this task is very suitable for you,” the staff member said as they checked the computer screen, “Number 665, seeking the Ghost-absorbing Lantern.”

Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment and looked down to check.

Because the desktop screen was synced with the staff member’s computer, there was no need to scroll down further.

[Task Number: 665] _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

[Task: Find the Ghost-absorbing Lantern. Preferably for a Beast Tamer with a Spectral-type Pet, no specified date, details to be discussed in person.]

[Task Location: Unit 5, 702, Xiying Residential Area, Hangkang City, Zhehai Province]

[Task Payment: To be discussed]

She paused slightly as she read the information, not expecting others to hold her in such high regard…

Where would wild Ghost-absorbing Lanterns come from in town, and wouldn’t they all be caught by patrolling departments if they appeared… You’d at least have to go to a Secret Realm for that…

Qiao Sang looked up and said, “I think I’m still too inexperienced, and it might be unsafe for my level to go to a Secret Realm.”

The staff member explained with a smile, “No need to go to a Secret Realm; it’s not about finding a wild one. The task issuer’s contracted Ghost-absorbing Lantern has gone missing.”

So that was it.

Qiao Sang felt relieved.

It wasn’t unheard of for contracted Pet Beasts to go missing, and it mostly happened to newbie Beast Tamers.

It usually boiled down to the Beast Tamer’s level being too low, the sensing range too short, and the Pet Beast accidentally wandering too far away.

When Qiao Sang found them, the atmosphere seemed weird.

“You finally came. What task did you choose after such a long time?” Shi Gaofeng asked with a sigh of relief.

“To find a lost Ghost-absorbing Lantern,” Qiao Sang replied.

Wang Yao, concerned, asked, “That’s not going to be easy to find, is there a time limit?”

Qiao Sang shook her head: “No.”

Shi Gaofeng raised his hand to put it on Qiao Sang’s shoulder but then awkwardly lowered the half-raised hand upon remembering she was a girl.

“You’re clever, choosing one without a time limit so that even if you haven’t completed it by our next meeting, you’ll have a reason to give.”

Wang Yao glanced at him: “Did you forget how badly you were scolded for taking a task with a one-month deadline? Zheng Baolong doesn’t care about deadlines when the tasks aren’t completed at the meeting time.”

Shi Gaofeng paused, his body shuddering.

It had been so long, he’d almost forgotten those miserable days…

Wang Yao turned her head and looked at Qiao Sang with sympathy: “You haven’t yet experienced Zheng Baolong’s temperament. In any case, you’re going to need all the luck you can get.”

Zheng Baolong’s tasks always have a five-day deadline, and whether you can complete the aimless search for a Spectral Series Pet Beast really is entirely up to fate.

“Enough about me, what tasks did you all take?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Shi Gaofeng is the same as last time; I’m letting Xiao Yan be a model for an art studio for three days; Xu Yajie is going to be medical logistics for a competition for five days,” Wang Yao answered.

“How come both of your tasks are similar to the last ones? Won’t Zheng Baolong have something to say?” Qiao Sang asked curiously.

“I’m not going to say anything.” The familiar voice sounded from behind.

Qiao Sang: “…!”
