The beast starts from zero

“But Dragon Amber contains more dragon-type energy,” Qiao Sang sighed.

As Michaela gracefully cut the meat on his plate, he said, "Regarding rare materials, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance of obtaining them, you should still take a look."

That makes sense. Qiao Sang gave him an "I understand" look and said:

"I'll go check on it once the thunderstorms in the Kandelian region are over."

A red zone? Thunderstorm weather? Qingbao's eyes lit up, and she moved closer to Xiao Xunbao, whispering:
"Qingqing?"

Where is the Guanchi region?
"Looking around~"

While chewing on an energy pill, Little Treasure used its paw to open the navigation on its phone, set its location, pointed to the screen, and barked, indicating that it was right there.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao leaned closer to the screen and looked at it seriously.

A few seconds later, it looked away and ate the energy pill rather unhappily.

It can't understand
Half an hour later, everyone finished their lunch.

Penjami's eyes glowed blue as she skillfully tidied up the things on the table using her telekinesis.

"Don't forget to check out the Arid Zone after the thunderstorm ends," Michaela said, getting up to give her a word of advice.

The thunderstorm weather warning only said when it started, but not when it would end. It seems that we still need to let Little Treasure Hunt check it every now and then using his omniscient spatial teleportation ability. Qiao Sang pondered and replied, "I won't forget."

Michaela turned around with satisfaction and went back to his room.

A moment later, she came out again after changing her clothes and said:
"Let me take the Object Recognition Monster to find alien pets this afternoon."

This time, Qiao Sang did not refuse, and said:

"Alright."

I have to keep a close eye on the movements in the red zone in the afternoon and summon Qingbao at any time, so I really don't have much time to go out and look for alien pets.

Michaela looked at the object-recognizing monster.

Before it could even speak, the creature cried out:
"Know it."

It is afraid of thunder.

Wu Yuan glanced at the object-recognizing monster, then looked at his own beast tamer, offering a rare opportunity to translate:

"Nothing."

It doesn't want to go out with you.

When Michaela heard Wuyu speak to him, his first reaction was one of being flattered. However, after hearing what Wuyu said, he fell silent and looked at the creature that knew things.

She didn't remember having any conflict with the object-knowing monster.
This guy is quite clever. The strange creature subtly cast an admiring glance at Wu Yuanwang.

“No,” Qiao Sang corrected, “The Knowing Monster is said to be afraid of thunder.”

Although the Object-Knowing Monster needs to be charged with electric energy, the electric energy must be precisely controlled. Even a slight excess could cause it to malfunction, and if it were struck by lightning, it would definitely be severely injured.

Mechanical-type pets are injured differently than other types of pets. Ordinary healing skills are simply ineffective. A mechanic must repair the parts system. Even a powerful healing light like Lu Bao's might not be able to heal a monster struck by lightning.

In addition, since the object-knowing monster itself is not high-level, Qiao Sang can understand why it is afraid to go out in thundery weather.

"Know it."

The creature that knew things withdrew its gaze from Wuyuan, nodded, and let out a cry, indicating that it was afraid of thunder.

I knew it! I've never had a conflict with the Object-Knowing Monster. Michaela laughed.
"With me, you don't have to be afraid of thunder. With Meimei's abilities, she can completely block out the sound of thunder."

Penjami remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

The object-recognizing monster was silent for two seconds, then cried out:
"Know it."

Let's go then.

It could think of no other reason to refuse.

Soon, Penjami's eyes glowed blue, and she disappeared from the spot with her Beastmaster and the Object-Knowing Monster.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao barked, indicating that it wanted to go out too.

Qiao Sang glanced at the now-shrinking lightning outside and said:

"Go."

"Qingqing."

Qingbao's eyes crinkled into a smile, then, as if remembering something, she floated over to Tingbao's side and called out:
"Qingqing?"

Are you really not going out this afternoon?
"Tingting".

Tingbao shook its head and cried out; it felt it couldn't swallow any more food today.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao showed a "what a pity" expression, then turned into the wind and disappeared.

"Search."

Little Treasure looked at the spot where Qingbao had disappeared and shook his head.

It still doesn't know what the fifth brother was after when he went out to be struck by lightning.

What a strange fifth brother
As Little Treasure Hunter pondered this, he approached the mountain of toys, silently picked one up, and activated his mental link.

Tingbao found an empty spot to lie down, closed his eyes, and tiny arcs of electricity appeared on his body.

Tingbao was digesting the information. Qiao Sang glanced at Tingbao, then sat down on the sofa, her consciousness entering the Beast Taming Manual, and quickly flipping to the page about Tingbao.

Her gaze quickly fell on the data following the level:

[Rank: General (390992/1000000)+]

[Rank: General (391020/1000000)+]

[Rank: General (391045/1000000)+]

"Is the energy increase this fast?" Qiao Sang thought with delight as she looked at the value next to her level increasing every second.

If it continues to increase at this rate, Tingbao will definitely be able to shorten the time by more than half and enter the mid-stage of the General level ahead of schedule. If it can continue to increase at this rate every day, it can reach the late-stage of the General level within a month and reach the level where it can evolve!
However, even in the Kingdom of Lei Dian, such terrifying lightning strikes don't happen every day.
After calming down, Qiao Sang quickly made a decision: it seems he will have to stay in Lei Dian Kingdom for a while.
Even if they can't find Dragon Flash Amber or other rare materials related to electricity, Tingbao staying in the Thunder Kingdom and occasionally absorbing the power of lightning will definitely be a huge profit.

After all, elsewhere, there isn't such pure natural lightning power that Tingbao can frequently absorb.

at the same time.

Under a sky filled with thunder and lightning, a gust of wind suddenly flashed by, narrowly avoiding a bolt of lightning striking from high above.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao appeared, a smug expression on his face.

Suddenly, a deafening clap of thunder resounded in the distance.

Qingbao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a terrifyingly dense lightning bolt in the distance. Its sheer number and power made the morning lightning seem insignificant.

Moreover, it saw the wind forming a powerful vortex, like a wind dragon frantically devouring everything around it.

"Clear!"

Looking at the sky filled with lightning and feeling the raging wind, Qingbao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was uncontrollably excited.

A thought struck it, and it prepared to transform into the wind and head there.

But just then, a thunderclap boomed from the sky.

A thick bolt of lightning ripped through the sky and struck Qingbao precisely.

"Clear!"

When Qingbao regained consciousness and opened her eyes, she found herself back in her hotel room.

"Search?"

Little Treasure Hunter looked over and called out, as if to say, "How come you got struck by lightning so quickly this time?"
It remembered the time when the fifth brother was struck by lightning; quite a bit of time had passed since then. "Qingqing!"

Qingbao, enraged and embarrassed, yelled angrily at Xiaoxunbao, indicating that it was none of his business!
Despite her angry expression, no strong winds were blowing around her.

"Are you still going out?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao looked at his beast tamer and called out, indicating that it was of course true.

After saying that, he transformed into the wind and rushed out of the window.

Qiao Sang thought to herself, "Qingbao seems much more anxious than before."

Rain fell from the sky like scattered beans, and puddles formed everywhere on the streets.

There were few people and pets on the street. Occasionally, there would be one or two people and their pets, either surrounded by a barrier, accompanied by an electric-type pet, or holding an umbrella made of lightning-resistant material.

Michael, Penjame, and the Spectral Monster walked through the transparent barrier.

Rain fell around, outlining the shape of the barrier.

Just after turning the corner, I looked around and there wasn't a single person or pet in sight. The whole street was deserted, and many shops were closed.

The creature that knew things suddenly stopped in its tracks.

Unaware, Penjami followed her Beastmaster's steps forward, and the barrier moved along with her.

The rain soaked the strange creature to the bone.

The object-recognizing monster: "."

However, after taking only two steps, Michaela and Penjami noticed that the Object-Knowing Monster was not nearby, so they turned around and went back.

The barrier once again enveloped the object-observing monster.

"Why did you stop?" Michaela asked.

The creature that knew things remained expressionless and did not answer.

Even though there was no trace of his presence, Penjami still felt an invisible pressure as she looked at this object-recognizing monster, and couldn't help but frown.

"You didn't get caught in the rain and something happened to you, did you?" Michaela asked with concern when he saw that the monster was silent.

Some mechanical-type pets are afraid of water. If they are attacked by water-type skills or get wet in the rain, they may malfunction directly. She was not sure if the Object Recognition Monster was this type of pet.

The creature that knew things finally cried out:
"Know it."

It felt there were hardly any people or pets on the street, so it decided to go back and wait for better weather before coming out to search again.

As she spoke, Penjami felt the pressure around her disappear, as if the pressure she had felt before was just an illusion.

Michael looked up at the lightning in the sky and thought to himself that he hadn't expected there to be so little lightning, and that there were still so few people and pets on the street.

She opened her mouth, about to agree.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from afar, making the entire space seem to tremble.

Michaela looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dense mass of terrifying lightning in the distant sky.

It appears that severe thunderstorms have already occurred in the Guanchi area, much earlier than the warning was issued.
No wonder Lei is so small; there are still few people and pets on the street. It seems that even though the predicted location is the Guan Chi District, they are still afraid of being affected.

Michaela withdrew his gaze and said:
"Then let's go back first."

The object-recognizing monster did not respond to her.

At that moment, it was also looking at the direction of the dense lightning and obvious tornado in the distance, and frowned.

Why did that little guy named Qingbao go to such a dangerous place on his own?
hotel room.

Michaela, Penjame, and the Object-Knowing Monster appeared out of nowhere.

Qiao Sang sat on the sofa, put down the book about Tianyuan Star in her hand, and said in surprise:

"Why are you back so soon?"

“There weren’t many people or pets on the streets, so we came back,” Michaela explained.

Qiao Sang glanced at the gloomy sky outside and said:

"I think the lightning has shrunk quite a bit, so why isn't anyone coming out?"

"The thunderstorms came early," Michaela said succinctly.

“No wonder.” Qiao Sang instantly understood why and said, “It’s alright. I’m already planning to stay in Lei Dian Kingdom for a while. I can go out to search when there’s no thunder or lightning later.”

Like the Heavenly Bird Kingdom, the Thunder Kingdom is a small country. You can travel all over it if you spend three days without thunder.

“How long are you planning to stay?” Michaela asked.

“When Tingbao reaches the late stage of the General level,” Qiao Sang said, “there is just too much lightning here. In just one morning, Tingbao absorbed all the lightning, and the energy in its body increased a lot. I think if it stays here, it can quickly reach the late stage of the General level.”

Upon hearing this, Tingbao looked at his beast tamer.

Michaela nodded slightly: "Thunder Treasure possesses two major characteristics: Thunder Devouring and Thunder Resonance. These two characteristics, combined with the environment here, may indeed be more effective for Thunder Treasure than some electric materials."

"Tingting".

At this moment, Tingbao called out, indicating that they still needed to find alien pets.

The object-knowing monster glanced at it.

Why is everyone so concerned about this?
Qiao Sang laughed and said, "Our search is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The main thing is to look at the Saussurea plant. It doesn't matter if we go to other countries later."

After all, the whereabouts of the alien pet are uncertain. The information given is that it is in the eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star, but no one can say for sure whether it will go to the western hemisphere or the country that was previously searched during the search.

Tingbao was silent for two seconds, then looked serious and called out:
"Tingting".

It will definitely reach the late stage of the general level as soon as possible.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to speak, the object-recognizing monster suddenly cried out:
"Know me?"

What about Qingbao?
“It went out,” Josan replied.

"Know me?"

The creature cried out, indicating that there was a thunderstorm outside and it might be too dangerous to go out.
Its tone was calm, but its words conveyed concern.

Qiao Sang laughed and said, "Qingbao isn't stupid, why would she deliberately fly towards the direction of the thunderstorm?"

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter chimed in, letting out a shout, indicating that given Lao Wu's personality, he might actually fly there on purpose.

This… Qiao Sang recalled the scene of Qingbao being struck by lightning repeatedly that morning, and then excitedly rushing out. After a moment of silence, she added:
"Actually, it doesn't matter if Qingbao gets struck by lightning while it's in the thunderstorm, Lubao can help it heal."

Inside the room, Lu Bao heard her name called and silently poked her head out of the water tank.

The creature that knew things fell silent.

Streaks of yellow lightning continuously tore through the clouds, occasionally illuminating the entire tube equator.

The rain poured down, the wind howled, tearing everything apart.

Trees were snapped in half by the strong winds, and vehicles and even some houses were torn off and sent flying everywhere.

At the eye of the storm, a tornado was spinning rapidly, turning the torrential rain into a swirling curtain of water that sucked everything in its path into it.

Terrifying lightning flashed and roared in the sky, creating a scene resembling the end of the world.

"Liangliang!!!"

A small, frail figure, along with the house, was swept up by the gale and sucked towards the tornado.

It is mostly yellow, has an antenna on its head, and is only about 30 centimeters long.

The pet with an antenna growing from its head was deathly pale, its expression filled with despair and fear.

It was about to be inhaled.

Suddenly, a gust of wind with a different trajectory appeared, swept it up, and pulled it away from the tornado. (End of Chapter)
