The beast starts from zero

The next day, early morning.

Josan and Ya Bao sat at the dining table, enjoying the hotel breakfast.

Yellow arcs of electricity flickered nearby. Tingbao unleashed his lightning power, striking the object-observing monster to feed it before starting his own energy meal.

While eating, Qiao Sang replied to the greetings sent by everyone.

Yesterday, her phone was off. When she turned it on, there were 99+ messages, all asking if she had become an S-rank Beastmaster and if she had a contract with Xia Lala. Later, she turned her phone off again while she was sleeping. When she woke up in the morning, there were 99+ messages again.

After a day, the news didn't lose its momentum; on the contrary, it seemed to be spreading even more intensely.

"Search."

While eating his energy meal, Xiao Xunbao looked at his phone, sighing every now and then, looking like he had no appetite at all.

"Xia Xia?"

Xia Bao called out considerately, "What's wrong? Do you think the food isn't good?"
"Search."

Little Treasure Hunt put down his phone, sighed, and called out.

No, it tried to live stream this morning, but it failed again.

These days, Xiao Xunbao has a habit of live streaming every night. Yesterday, it tried to live stream three times in half a day, and each time the system crashed. It tried again this morning, but the same thing happened.

"Xiaxia."

Xia Bao looked like she wanted to comfort him but didn't know how.

Qiao Sang put down her phone and said:

"It seems like everyone is still focused on what you said in your live stream, and it's still quite popular. Try watching another live stream in a couple of days."

"Search."

Little Treasure Hunter sighed and cried out, indicating that this was all they could do.

After saying that, it seemed to remember something and sighed again.

"Search."

I didn't expect there to be so many night owls these days. It did three live streams last night, and each one was overwhelmed with viewers.

“That’s because your fans come from all over the galaxy,” Josang said. “Not to mention planets, even countries on each planet have different time zones, so no matter what time you’re streaming, there will be fans who stay up to watch.”

"Looking around~"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao perked up immediately, revealing an "Oh, I see" expression. Then, he pretended to sigh, shook his head, and exclaimed that it was all because he had too many fans, who were everywhere.

Upon hearing this, the object-knowing monster glanced at it without showing any emotion.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao rolled her eyes and exclaimed, indicating that everyone had entered your live stream because they wanted to know about their own Beastmaster and Lao Qi.

"Our own beast tamer? The seventh one?" The creature shifted its gaze, glanced discreetly at the human who had hired it, and then searched among the group of pets in front of it, trying to find out which one was the seventh one.

Just then, Wuyuan placed a slice of tree fruit in front of Xiabao and called out in a slightly trembling voice:
"Nothing."

"Xia Xia."

Although Xia Bao couldn't eat much, she still smiled politely and called out.

The creature that knew things noticed this scene, looked over, and keenly sensed that the green grass-type pet was none other than the seventh one.

“The Mechanical Kingdom is usually divided into four regions,” Michaela said while eating a sandwich. “They are the Steel Core Core Region, the Smelting North Region, the Machine Engine Region, and the Electric Signal Diving Bay. Today, you take the Object Recognition Monster to the Steel Core Core Region to investigate first, and I will go to the Electric Signal Diving Bay. The Steel Core Core Region is the largest region of the Mechanical Kingdom. If you take the Object Recognition Monster, you can investigate faster.”

"Understood," Qiao Sang replied.

This human, who must be the most powerful being here, fixed his gaze on Michaela and drew a conclusion in his mind.

Just then, Qiao Sang looked over and asked:
Would you like to eat some more?

She noticed that the object-recognizing monster's gaze was fixed on the dining table.

Tingbao looked over, looking like it would immediately come over and chop it up if it said it was hungry.

The creature, remembering how Tingbao had chopped it up while it had to pretend to enjoy it, almost broke down in tears. However, it managed to maintain its composure, forcing a fake smile and barking:
"Know it."

It's full.

Tingbao looked away and continued eating her energy meal.

"Just tell me if you want to eat it," Qiao Sang said considerately.

"Know it."

The creature that knew things maintained its fake smile and let out a cry.

It will.

Qiao Sang looked away.

The strange creature's face instantly went expressionless.

At that moment, Gangbao looked over.

The object-obsessed person reflexively flashed a fake smile.

Steel Bao looked away.

The creature's face went expressionless again. It looked out the window and suddenly regretted its decision.

An hour later.

Steel core area.

For mechanical pets to possess thought and activity, they need either a mysterious ray, a dark ghostly power, an artificial soul called "Soul Heart," or a smart chip.

The vast majority of mechanical-type pets in the Mechanical Kingdom are equipped with intelligent chips, which are integrated with the pets to give them consciousness and the ability to move.

The core area of ​​the steel core is Tianyuanxing's largest smart chip market.

On the street, there were almost all mechanical pets, as well as mechanics who came from afar and beast tamers who wanted to contract mechanical pets.

The people chatted in twos and threes, and the conversation was almost entirely about mechanical-type pets.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.

The object-recognizing monster surveyed its surroundings, channeled its energy, and prepared to assume a recognition posture.

But before it could even start pretending to work, everyone around it subconsciously turned to look at it, then their eyes widened suddenly, they stopped in their tracks, and screamed excitedly as if they had seen some kind of extremely rare pet.

"Ahhh! Qiao-san!"

"Qiao Sang? Which Qiao Sang? The Qiao Sang trending on social media?"

"It's definitely her! Didn't you see Little Treasure Hunter next to her?!"

"Holy crap! Am I really that lucky?!"

"It really is Qiao Sang! Quick, let's go ask her if what she said online is true!"

"Xia Lala! I saw Xia Lala! Oh my god! It's really true! She really became an S-rank Beast Tamer and even formed a contract with Xia Lala!"

Before Qiao Sang and Ya Bao could even begin their search, they were instantly surrounded.

Lu Bao extended her paws out of the backpack and quickly zipped it up.

The entire street suddenly descended into chaos.

The object-recognizing monster: "???"

What's going on? Is this human some important figure on this planet? The object-knowing monster was completely bewildered.

Just as he was completely bewildered, Qiao Sang shouted, "Little Treasure Hunter!"

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter cried out, its eyes gleaming blue.

The strange creature suddenly went black.

In a secluded alley, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of nowhere.

"This is too exaggerated." Qiao Sang was still a little scared.

She didn't expect that she would be surrounded by so many people and pets as soon as she appeared on the street, as if everyone was her fan.

You know, when she first arrived in the Mechanical Kingdom, passersby would at most just look at Ya Bao and the others out of curiosity, and no one recognized her or Ya Bao. Unexpectedly, in just a short period of time, her fame had reached the point where people who didn't know her before could recognize her instantly.
To be honest, it felt pretty cool, but this was so inconvenient! How was she supposed to find that alien pet now?
"Teeth!"

In a flash of thought, Ya Bao exclaimed, indicating that he hadn't expected to have so many of their fans here.

"Xunxun~" Little Xunbao waved its paws, revealing a smug expression, and called out, indicating that we are really famous.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao was about to roll her eyes when she noticed that Xiaoxunbao had said "we," and nodded in agreement.

"Xia Xia?"

Xia Bao was a little worried and cried out, indicating that they couldn't even walk like this, so how were they going to find the alien pet?
Just as Qiao Sang was about to speak, the strange creature cried out:
"Know me?"

Who are you? How come so many humans and pets know you?

Qiao Sang looked at it and explained somewhat embarrassedly, "I recently became an S-rank Beast Tamer and also formed a contract with Xia Bao, so I've become a bit famous."

At this point, she gestured towards Xia Bao and said:
"You'll know once you try to identify it."

Xia Bao looked obediently at the object-identifying monster, waiting for it to identify the object.

The object-recognizing monster was silent for two seconds, its eyes glowing blue as it looked at Xia Bao, then it showed a shocked expression and exclaimed:
"Know me?"

Xia Lala?
It didn't actually recognize it; it just remembered that a human had called it that before.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Bao nodded.

“You’ve already identified what kind of pet Xia Bao is,” Qiao Sang said. “The news that I made a contract with Xia Bao got out yesterday, so everyone is paying attention.”

I couldn't recognize it at all. The object-recognizing monster nodded:
"Know it."

I understand.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Bao called out, suggesting that they should put it back into the Beast Taming Manual.

“No need.” Qiao Sang looked at it and smiled, “The trending topics online not only feature your news, but also mine. Even if you enter the Beast Taming Codex, people who have seen related news will still recognize me.”

"Xia Xia?"

Xia Bao exclaimed with a worried expression, indicating what to do next.
Qiao Sang had already come up with a plan. She looked at Little Treasure Hunter and asked:

"Are you still using the 'no-feel powder'?"

Previously, Penjami gave some Insensitivity Powder, and Little Treasure Hunter put the bottle containing the Insensitivity Powder in the ring.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter barked once, indicating that it wanted to take a look.

As he spoke, he took off the ring, enlarged it, and stuck his head inside.

The object-recognizing monster, which can hold things, fixed its gaze on the floating ring.

A short while later, Little Treasure Hunter popped his head out, took out a bottle, and happily exclaimed:
"Looking around~"

It just looked, and there's more.

"That's good." Qiao Sang took the bottle, opened it, sprinkled the powder inside onto herself and Ya Bao, and then closed the bottle.

"Know it."

Seeing this, the creature couldn't help but cry out, indicating that it hadn't sprinkled the powder yet.

Qiao Sang was taken aback at first, then smiled and said:

"It's okay, nobody knows you."

The object-recognizing monster: "."

"Let's go, let's finish identifying the people and pets in the steel core area as soon as possible," Qiao Sang said.

After saying that, he picked up Xia Bao and walked out of the alley first.

Ya Bao and the others quickly followed.

The last creature, the one who knew things, looked up at the narrow sky above with a melancholy expression.

Nobody knows me.
“Hey, you strange creature, come here!” Qiao Sang shouted from the alley entrance.

"Know it."

The creature quickly composed itself, barked once to indicate that it had arrived.

After saying that, he quickly walked towards the alley entrance.

In the following days, Qiao Sang, along with Ya Bao and the Object Recognizer, searched for alien pets on the road.

Wherever it goes, the object-knowing monster's eyes glow blue as it looks ahead, scanning a wide area, and then it shakes its head.

Occasionally, out of curiosity, Little Treasure Hunter would point to a pet he didn't recognize and call out, "Xunxun?"

What kind of pet is this?

"Know it."

The creature that knew things let out a cry without changing its expression, indicating that in order to ensure efficiency, it had not memorized all the pet information, but was only looking for pets that it could not identify.

"Know it."

After saying that, it made a sound, indicating that if you wanted to know, it would scan again, but it would take a little time to get closer so that it could scan more accurately and avoid errors.

Finding alien pets is a huge project that would take an unknown amount of time, so how could Qiao Sang allow such time to be wasted? He immediately asked Xiao Xunbao to take out his pet identifier and let the object-identifying monster continue to perform a wide-range scan.

Little Treasure Hunter can only identify pets himself using the pet identification device.

After asking the same question three times and receiving the same answer from the creature-identifying monster, Little Treasure Hunter stopped asking questions when it encountered a pet it was curious about and simply used the pet identifier to identify it.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually darkened.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao returned empty-handed.

After returning to the hotel and having a simple dinner, she took Xia Bao to the familiar Super Iron Pet Battle Club.

Indoor training ground.

Xia Bao circulates energy.

Dozens of green-glowing blades attacked the group of mechanical-type pets in front of them.

The sparring partners nearby, though having nothing to do as before, were noticeably more excited. Suppressing their excitement, they whispered amongst themselves:

"I didn't expect this person to be so strong; their talent is terrifying!"

“When she came in yesterday, I felt that she was very special. I didn’t expect my intuition to be so accurate!”

"If I ever change jobs in the future, I'll add a line to my resume: 'I was once the sparring partner of Qiao Sang, the most talented beast tamer in history.'"

"Hahaha, you shameless bastard, I want to write one too."

"Do you think she'll take a photo with me after training is over?"

"I don't know, you can ask after training."

"I'm a little hesitant. She's an S-rank Beast Tamer. What if she doesn't come back next time?"

The most talented beast tamer in history? Upon hearing this, the creature looked astonished and stared at Qiao Sang as if it were the first time it had ever met her.

Is this the most talented human on this planet?

In a flash of thought, Xia Bao channeled his energy and unleashed the Flying Leaf Blade once more.

Dozens of leaves, glowing with green light, rushed forward.

The creature's gaze inadvertently fell upon the green leaves that resembled sharp blades. Suddenly, it seemed to see something and frowned.

The next second, its eyes glowed with a faint blue light.

At the same time, dozens of blades, resembling green blades, suddenly slowed down in its line of sight, moving slowly forward in the air as if in ten times slow motion.

Soon, the blue light in the eyes of the object-recognizing monster dissipated.

With a "bang," dozens of green blades struck the mechanical-type pets.

Xia Bao channeled his energy and unleashed the Flying Leaf Blade once more.

After performing this five times in a row.

The creature that knew things looked at Xia Bao, seemingly lost in thought.

It wasn't mistaken; this pet named Sharara's proficiency increased slightly every time it used this skill. (End of Chapter)
