The beast starts from zero

"Tongtong?"

A pet beast, mostly bronze in color and resembling a copper coin, barked.

“Let’s begin,” Lefebvre said.

"Copper copper".

The pet beast, which looked like a copper coin, let out a cry, and then six small copper coins appeared out of thin air around it, spinning rapidly.

……

Backstage.

"Ya Ya!"

"Ice Saint".

"Steel Power".

"Qingqing..."

“Tingting…”

After Xiao Xunbao finished telling his story of what he did in his dream, Ya Bao and the others praised him, expressed their admiration, and expressed their respect.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunt enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by everyone. He held his head high and was incredibly proud, but he waved his paws, showing an attitude of "it's nothing".

"Don't be modest. If the dream you created hadn't been so convincing to the Echo Spirit Master that it couldn't wake up, the outcome of this match would have been very uncertain," Qiao Sang said with a smile.

Originally, her plan was to have Little Treasure Hunt cast the Curse of Fate and the Curse of Misfortune on Echo Spirit Lord. If Little Treasure Hunt really fell to the opponent's sound-based attack skills, it might be possible to replicate the situation from the previous game, borrowing life directly onto Echo Spirit Lord, thus turning the tide of the battle.

Unexpectedly, before the effects of the curse skill even took effect, Little Treasure Hunter defeated the Echo Spirit Lord using a skill combination that he hadn't practiced much.

To be honest, she had really thought that the Echo Spirit Master might not wake up from his sleep, but the fact that it went so smoothly still surprised her.

"Looking around~"

"Searching..."

Little Treasure proudly puffed out its chest and began to bark incessantly, indicating that it had also studied how to create dreams. It had watched many movies and TV series about dreams, and the best way to prevent the target from realizing that it was dreaming was to directly create a dream that depicted the scene before the target fell asleep...

Just as they were getting into the conversation, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The little treasure hunter stopped.

A gust of wind suddenly blew up and opened the door.

Serana walked in, smiling, and said, "I just finished an interview. I'm glad you're still here."

Her smile was much warmer than before.

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and looked at Xiao Xunbao, saying, "Quickly, take out the megaphone."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter removed the ring, took out the two megaphones he had snatched during the competition, and handed them over.

Without the Echo Spirit Master beside him to shrink things down, the two loudspeakers were ridiculously large.

However, Serana accepted it with ease.

Looking at the other person's appearance, Qiao Sang's first thought was: Now seems to be the perfect opportunity to build a good relationship with them...

Then came the second thought: Serana lost both of her matches in the round-robin stage, so it seemed like I was more likely to win the championship than her…

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang paused for a moment before asking, "Is Princess Xue Lei alright?"

Serana laughed and said, "It's alright. Because one of the contestants has a Bonefire King as a pet, the healing team has a healer who can heal the soul. They are already treating him. It will just take three days to fully recover, which is a very good result."

After saying that, she looked deeply at Qiao Sang and said gratefully:
"I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, Princess Xue Lei might have really left some hidden dangers."

"There's no need to thank me, it was Ya Bao who caused it after all," Qiao Sang said.

Ya Bao blinked beside him.

“No, this might just be a sentence to you, but for me and Princess Xue Lei, it could affect our entire lives,” Sera said earnestly.

Qiao Sang felt a little embarrassed by what was said.

Before she could speak, Serana suddenly asked, "Do you know anything about Lefebvre?"

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then said honestly, "I have already collected his information and done some research, so I should have some understanding of his combat skills."

"Have you noticed that in the interstellar competitions he's participated in over the past decade, the pets he sends out in every match are exactly the ones that counter his opponent's?" Serana asked again.

Qiao Sang was taken aback again: "I really didn't notice."

After saying that, she recalled the interstellar competitions that Lefebvre had participated in and found that it was indeed the case.

Serana continued, "Do you know of a pet called 'Copper Coin Bubu'?"

Qiao Sang nodded slightly: "I know, it's a pet beast that only exists on the Blue Star of Yan Tian, ​​and it's very good at divination."

Copper Coin Bubu, a super-powered royal-level pet beast, is a unique pet beast found only on the Blue Star of Flame Sky. This species is extremely rare and is rarely seen.

Serana said, "Leifed has a copper coin divination stick by his side, which he probably hired. Every time there is a StarCraft match, it will perform divination by his side to calculate the most advantageous lineup for each game. The success rate is close to 100%, and it almost never makes a mistake. If you are going to play against him tomorrow, you'd better be prepared that your lineup will be countered in every game."

Calculate the most advantageous lineup for each game… Qiao Sang remained silent for a while, then asked, “Why are you telling me this?”

“Because I want you to win,” Serana said seriously.

Qiao Sang looked at her.

“You’re the only opponent to have shut out me in recent years, and I don’t want you to lose to other players of the same level,” Serana said with a smile.

After hearing this, Qiao Sang couldn't help but laugh as well: "I will try my best to win."

Serana smiled and said, "If you ever come to Tianyuan Star again, feel free to come and find me anytime."

“Okay,” Qiao Sang nodded.

……

five minutes later.

VIP room.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.

"Xia Xia!"

Xia Lala immediately floated over excitedly.

Josan hugged it.

"Xia Xia!"

"Xia Xia!"

Xia Lala excitedly shared her thoughts after watching the game, praising each and every one of the other dogs, Ya Bao.

"Ya Ya!"

"Looking around~"

Ya Bao and Xiao Xun Bao were so praised that they held their heads higher and higher.

"Ice Saint".

"Steel Power".

Lu Bao and Gang Bao, on the other hand, remained much calmer, merely offering slight smiles.

"Xia Xia!"

After praising Ya Bao and the others one by one, Xia Lala looked up at Qiao Sang and called out with admiration.

Its eyes were bright and sparkling, as if it could only see her.

Qiao Sang patted Xia Lala's head and laughed, "Why do I feel like you're getting more and more engrossed in watching the game?"

Before Sharara could answer, Michaela laughed and said, "It's more than just enthusiastic, it's like a fan of yours now. As soon as you come on stage, it waves a light stick and shouts non-stop until the end of the match. If it hadn't drunk some water in between, its voice would probably be hoarse."

Qiao Sang looked down at Xia Lala with surprise. "Xia Xia..."

Xia Lala looked embarrassed, and her face even turned red.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Sang felt a pang of emotion, finding her somewhat endearing.

Before she could speak, Michaela continued with a smile, "You performed much better than I expected in this competition. The dean just contacted me and said that if you win the championship, the reward scheme can be changed. If the item you want is not in the points redemption section, you can ask for it and she will get it for you."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked impatiently, "If I want a mythical beast's pet egg, can the Dean get it for me?"

The moment Michaela said those words, she immediately thought of a legendary Pokémon that was a Grass-type Pokémon.

Michaela smiled and looked at her: "What do you think? The Dean herself doesn't even have a contracted divine beast."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and glanced in Qingbao's direction.

That's true, mythical beasts aren't so easy to get... Items related to mythical beasts in the points redemption section cost close to or over a million points. If there really were mythical beast pet eggs, they'd probably cost at least ten million points... No, they probably wouldn't even appear in the points redemption section... Qiao Sang felt a moment of disappointment, but then thought it made sense, quickly perked up, and said seriously:

"I'm aiming to win the championship."

Michaela smiled and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You've already exceeded everyone's expectations to get this far."

Then, she changed the subject and said, "However, the main reason you were able to compete so smoothly today was because Sera didn't know about Ya Bao and the others' trump cards. But today she forced you to reveal all your trump cards, so you won't be able to compete so smoothly against Lefebvre tomorrow."

“There’s one more thing,” Michaela said in a deep voice, “Leifide has a pet beast named Copper Coin Bubu…”

Before she could finish speaking, Josang said, "I know, Serana just told me."

Michaela was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "It seems she'd rather you win."

After saying this, her voice turned serious: "This pet's divination is a bit special. Even if you don't decide which pet to send out to fight until the last second before the match, the summoned pet will still be countered according to its divination results."

“Your divination abilities are quite strong,” Qiao Sang said with a smile. “But there’s an advantage to that, isn’t there?”

Michaela was taken aback: "What benefits?"

“Since the opponent can field a lineup of pets that absolutely counters mine, then conversely, I also know which pets they will field in each game. This way, I can conduct specialized training,” Qiao Sang said.

Upon hearing this, Michaela immediately praised him, saying, "It's very good that you thought of this, but your opponent will also train specifically to counter you in every round, so you must be extremely cautious."

Teacher, you just told me not to put too much pressure on myself... Qiao Sang couldn't help but complain inwardly, but said seriously on the surface, "I understand."

Michaela suddenly remembered something and asked:

"By the way, what exactly did Little Treasure Hunter do to the Echo Spirit Master in his dream during the final match?"

"Xunxun~" Little Xunbao suddenly perked up, floated forward, and prepared to have a long talk.

At this moment, Qiao Sang said, "Let me explain. The teacher won't understand what you're saying."

“Xunxun…” Little Xunbao showed an “okay” expression.

“It’s like this, Little Treasure Hunter created a dream…” Qiao Sang repeated what Little Treasure Hunter had said earlier.

"Looking around~"

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded from time to time, revealing a satisfied expression that said, "That's it."

"Grind it." Halfway through, the Dragon King couldn't help but exclaim, indicating that this little guy was quite something.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter instinctively showed an "of course" expression, then realized what he meant and looked at the Dragon King with dissatisfaction.

"Looking around~"

Who is Little Dot?
"MoMo," the Dragon King called out without hesitation, indicating that it was indeed him.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure pouted, wanting to argue.

"Qingqing."

Suddenly, Qingbao shouted, indicating that it didn't matter that he was short, since he was always beating tall people anyway.

After saying that, he glanced at the Dragon King discreetly.

"Grind."

The Dragon King didn't notice Qingbao's gaze and nodded in agreement.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure looked at Qingbao with a touched expression, never expecting it to say such things.

On the other side, Qiao Sang had already repeated what Xiao Xunbao had told him.

After listening, Michaela exclaimed in admiration, "I never expected that Little Treasure Hunter would have such a talent for dream creation."

In the case of hypnotic skills, in addition to skill proficiency, mental strength and dream content are also very important. Only by making the target unaware that they are in a dream can the opponent be put to sleep until the end of the game.

Qiao Sang said, "Now that Ya Bao and the others have revealed most of their trump cards, I plan to have Xiao Xun Bao conduct a more in-depth study of the dream. Perhaps this will have a miraculous effect in tomorrow's competition."

“You’ve already used that trick today,” Michaela said calmly. “By interviewing Serana, we can find out what the Lord of the Underworld did in the dream. You can have Little Treasure Hunt train him, but don’t use it as a killer move.”

After a moment of contemplation, Josang said, "Sera shouldn't reveal what Little Treasure Hunter did in the Echo Lord's dream."

Michaela looked at her: "Why?"

“Because she wants me to win,” Jossan said.

……

At 7:30 p.m., after finishing dinner, Gangbao lay down on the sofa.

"Let's begin," Qiao Sang said, looking at the little treasure hunter beside her.

Among his pets, Steelbao might not be the most intelligent, but it's definitely the most vigilant...

Just as she was thinking of this, Gangbao on the sofa suddenly turned his head and looked over.

Qiao Sang instantly snapped out of her thoughts, coughed, looked at Xiao Xunbao, and urged, "Let's get started."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure's eyes glowed purple as it looked at Steel Treasure.

Gangbao did not dodge, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Little Treasure Hunter floated towards Steel Treasure's head, disappeared into it, and vanished.

Qiao Sang continued her previous thoughts: as long as the dream created by Little Treasure Hunt can fool Steel Treasure, then the combination of hypnosis, dream eating, and nightmares can definitely be used tomorrow...

Michaela, who was drinking coffee nearby, did not stop them.

After discussing this topic with Josan, she read a news interview about Serana. The interviewee did not mention the content of her dream. Since it was not mentioned, it was indeed necessary to practice.

In a flash of thought, Gangbao suddenly opened his eyes on the sofa.

"Searching..."

Immediately afterwards, Little Treasure Hunter floated out of Steel Treasure's mind.

"What happened? Why did you wake up so quickly?" Qiao Sang couldn't help but ask.

"Searching..."

Little Treasure looked frustrated and barked, indicating that it didn't know why Steel Treasure broke the dream so quickly, since there was nothing wrong with the dream it created...

"Steel Power".

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure barked calmly twice, indicating that it was still in the same scene in its dream. However, as soon as it saw its Beastmaster, it knew that it was a dream. Later, Little Treasure changed its dream, making it mistakenly believe that it had woken up. But when it saw its Beastmaster, it immediately knew that it was a dream.

After listening, Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood what was going on.

It's the power of bonds... (End of Chapter)
