Chapter 307: Mechanical Pet (Second Update)
Chapter 307: Mechanical Pet (Second Update)
The man spoke sternly, "I don’t care when your Guweihua evolves. When you get back, you’ll check it right away. If it has already evolved, you’ll check it after it finishes evolving!"
"Do you not understand the principle that overconfidence leads to defeat? Fire-type and Psychic-type combined—your Guweihua won’t gain any advantage even if it evolves into Valley Tail Sun!"
"I don’t just have one familiar", Ding Yanjing retorted, undaunted by the principal's authority.
The two boys beside them remained silent, each engrossed in their mobile phones, fearing they might get involved.
They were all too familiar with this scene, knowing that Ding Yanjing wouldn’t get any sympathy.
Sure enough, the man’s face darkened as he said, "When you get back, you’ll watch the video. If you don’t write a thousand-word strategy and hand it to me, you won’t eat dinner tonight!"
Ding Yanjing: "…"
Principal Huang Renbiao of Litan Beastmaster High School, a former military man, did not let Ding Yanjing, who could bring honor to the school, off the hook.
This was one of the reasons why Ding Yanjing always prepared thoroughly before each match, achieving impressive results.
...
Xihu District, Beast Companion Training Center.
The middle-aged man hung up the phone and walked into a convenience store within the base, placing a bottle of mineral water on the counter.
The cashier, engrossed in watching a video, didn’t notice the man standing in front of him.
The middle-aged man seemed to remember something and waved his hand. The familiar sleeping in his pocket vanished instantly.
An invisible current of air around the middle-aged man dissipated.
Only then did the cashier realize someone was standing at the counter. He quickly put down his phone, scanned the product barcode, and said, "Hello, that’s three yuan."
The middle-aged man placed three coins on the counter, said nothing, and walked out with the mineral water.
The cashier mumbled to himself, "Strange, he looks like a big guy, but he was so unnoticeable. I didn’t even know when he came in..."
The Group A2 match was still in progress.
Qiao Sang, who had earned 18 points, didn’t leave but instead sat in the Holy Water High School contestant seats, watching the match.
"Ya Ya?!"
Fangy was still in shock.
It’s over? Just like that?!
Qiao Sang patted its head to comfort it, "Don’t worry. There’s still a long way to go, and the opponents will only get stronger from here on out."
"Fangy",
Fangy looked doubtful.
Is that really true...
Goodness, you’ve grown up and learned to doubt me... Qiao Sang said seriously, "Don’t you trust what I say?"
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy shook its head, its eyes firm and full of trust.
It believes!
Fangy’s eyes were so bright that Qiao Sang felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, he had deceived Fangy many times in the past, and it still trusted him so much... Qiao Sang cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Let’s watch the match."
"Ya!"
Fangy called out, turning its head to stare seriously at the two familiars in the battle, while Qiao Sang’s gaze shifted to the Mechanical Pet floating in the air.
This is a Mechanical Pet. It’s the first time I’ve seen one in real life... Qiao Sang marveled, looking at the metallic familiar in the air.
He had been too focused on the match to pay much attention earlier, but now, with the match over, he took a closer look at the familiar wearing the referee’s badge.
A Mechanical Pet, also known as an artificial familiar.
Unlike other attribute familiars, these are mostly given life through artificial means.
However, this does not include all Mechanical Pets.
As the Beast Trainer Society developed, humans discovered more and more ways to create Mechanical Pets.
Initially, everyone believed that Mechanical Pets could only be created through Dna genetic cloning or by some artificial substances spontaneously coming to life without human intervention.
But later, someone discovered a mysterious ray, a dark Ghost Strength, and an artificial soul called a "Soul Core", all of which could endow them with thought and movement.
The Mechanical Pet in front of him, for example, was created using a Smart Chip and other mechanical materials.
Most Beastmasters who bond with Mechanical Pets create them themselves.
This is because creating them personally allows for better utilization of the Mechanical Pet's capabilities and a better understanding of their future evolution.
Since Mechanical Pets are already rare, and even when they are available on the market, most people are unfamiliar with how they evolve, it's uncommon to see people with bonded Mechanical Pets on the streets.
However, development and preferences vary from region to region.
In Yuhua Region, Mechanical Pets are a rare sight, but in Liaoxi Region, they are commonplace.
The reason is simple: most people in Liaoxi Region grow up to become researchers and scientists, leading to highly advanced artificial intelligence in the area.
The tech-savvy atmosphere encourages the next generation to grow up aspiring to be scientists, creating their own unique Mechanical Pets.
Thus, generation after generation, this trend continues.
Qiao Sang stared at the Mechanical Pet floating in the air for a long time, thinking that if he had enough bond slots in the future, it wouldn't be bad to bond with a Mechanical Pet.
After all, the appearance and functions of a Mechanical Pet can be customized to one's liking.
By installing a Smart Chip, it can handle various situations based on extensive data analysis, making it an essential companion for both home and travel.
The competition went smoothly. Although Xu Yixuan and He Datao didn't finish their matches as quickly as Qiao Sang, they managed to secure all 18 points in six matches.
...
Half an hour later.
In the dormitory of the Xihu District Training Field.
Since the competition would last for a week, all the School Teams assigned to this area would stay in the dormitory of the Training Field.
The dormitories were built to hotel standards.
Each room housed two people, and they were quite nice, but the presence of familiars made things a bit more complicated.
"Ya Ya!"
"Blaze!"
Fangy and Flamebird exchanged a glance and immediately assumed a fighting stance.
One bared its teeth, flames flickering, while the other spread its wings.
It wasn't that they were hostile; they just both wanted to fight.
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker appeared, its face full of excitement.
It floated between Fangy and Flamebird, rummaged through its Ring, and soon pulled out a whistle.
At that moment, Qiao Sang and Wang Yao were chatting.
"I didn't expect we'd be roommates."
"Yeah, it's pretty good. Some people have to share rooms with students from other schools, which sounds pretty rough."
Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow. "I seriously suspect you're talking about Senior Xu."
Wang Yao burst into laughter. "Hahaha, I am."
"Qu!"
Suddenly, a shrill whistle interrupted their conversation.
Qiao Sang was startled and turned to see the Treasure Seeker holding a red whistle in one claw and slashing downward with the other.
The action seemed so familiar. As Qiao Sang pondered, Wang Yao spoke up.
"Qiao Sang, when did you buy that whistle? It looks a lot like the one the referee had today."
