Chapter 95: You Want a Freebie?
Chapter 95: You Want a Freebie?
The Alliance divides skills into five ranks: Low-Rank, Mid-Rank, High-Rank, Ultra-Rank, and Divine-Rank.
There are clear differences in both the energy consumption and the power of these ranks.
Low-Rank and Mid-Rank skills are the most common. Many familiars spend their entire lives only mastering these two levels.
For familiars to learn skills, they need the corresponding manuals, their own diligence, and, most importantly, their talent.
There's a saying:
Talent determines the upper limit, effort determines the lower limit.
Sometimes, even with the best resources, if a familiar's talent is lacking, it won't be able to evolve to its racial maximum.
The same goes for learning skills.
In theory, a familiar should only start considering High-Rank skills after evolving to a high level.
Of course, after so many years of development, the Beast Trainer Society has seen some Mid-Rank Companion Beasts learn High-Rank skills.
But such cases are rare and always make it into the Companion Beast Genius Records.
There has never been a recorded instance of a Low-Rank Companion Beast learning a High-Rank skill.
At least, Qiao Sang had never heard of it.
Looking at the enthusiastic Fangflare, Qiao Sang felt a bit worried.
She was glad to see Fangflare's positive attitude, but some things can't be achieved with attitude alone.
While she recognized Fangflare's talent, some things couldn't be blindly confident about.
However, despite her thoughts, Qiao Sang squatted down and patted Fangflare's head, smiling. "Alright, I'll think of a way."
Negative reinforcement wouldn't work.
The key to a Beastmaster and their familiar's relationship is to move in unison toward a common goal.
"But you can't neglect your regular skill release training", Qiao Sang added.
Actually, there was plenty of time now. Apart from training Fangflare, she had nothing else to do.
Fangflare's use of Clones to practice skill releases saved a lot of time.
Even when the F-Class Energy Recovery Serum arrived, training would likely only take an hour a day.
The remaining time could be used to focus on other things.
Of course, effort is one thing, and success is another.
"Ya!"
Fangflare's eyes lit up, and he nodded solemnly, then ran over to the backpack to search for milk.
He wanted to drink milk! He wanted to train!
...
6:10 PM.
At the dinner table.
Ye Ranran vividly recounted the day's events.
"You wouldn't believe it, all of us colleagues were so shocked. We went in with the mindset of giving our lives for the job, but we ended up winning without lifting a finger. Who would have thought the suspect would be tied up and waiting for us?"
"If it weren't for Qiao Sang being a kid, Captain Zhang would have probably recruited her into our police force right away."
Ye Jingwen put down his book and looked at Qiao Sang in surprise. "Your observational skills are amazing. Maybe you should become a Familiar Trainer."
Ye Ranran countered, "Those skills are better suited for a police officer."
Their third uncle, who rarely spoke during meals, chimed in, "Qiao Sang has the makings of a professional Beastmaster. It would be a waste not to pursue it."
Their third aunt, carrying a steaming dish, smiled, "Why are you talking about such distant things? At this age, focusing on your studies is the most important thing."
Normally, Qiao Sang would have humbly responded and changed the subject.
But her mind was preoccupied with how to help Fangflare train for the Mars Rain skill, so she didn't join the conversation.
"Ah Sang, how long do you plan to stay here?" Third Uncle suddenly asked.
If someone else had said this, it might have seemed like they were eager for her to leave, but coming from Third Uncle, Qiao Sang didn't think much of it.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and replied, "Not sure, but if nothing unexpected happens, I'll probably stay until school starts."
"Half a month from now, there's a marathon relay race in town. Teams of three, and I'm still short one person. If you're interested, I can register you", Third Uncle said.
Qiao Sang gave Third Uncle a surprised look.
She hadn't expected him to still be so energetic, let alone participate in a marathon?
Perhaps noticing her expression, Third Uncle clarified, "It's a Companion Beast Relay Race. You need two Beastmasters with familiars to participate."
Qiao Sang: "..."
She had overthought it...
This society had all sorts of competitions besides the Beast Trainer Combat Tournament and the Elegant Coordination Show.
Just like how countries sent athletes to participate in various events in the Summer and Winter Olympics in her previous life, now the participants were familiars.
"If your team is still short a person by then, just let me know", Qiao Sang said.
She wasn't opposed to participating in such activities.
Fangflare was fine, being determined, but Treasure Seeker was a real newborn, and if it were to compete, it would likely end up at the bottom.
"Alright."
Third Uncle nodded and went back to his meal, not saying anything more.
After finishing dinner, Qiao Sang returned to her room and logged into Superblog.
Fangflare, meanwhile, skillfully turned on the TV to watch the competition channels, which had recently become its hobby.
Qiao Sang was surprised to see over 110,000 fans on her account after logging in.
She had only verified her Superblog two days ago. Could Song Yuan have bought her some followers?
But when she posted Fangflare's photo and the accompanying text, she realized she had overthought it.
【Front row, please!】
【Ah, finally!】
【Fangy is so cool!】
【This is the New Beast Tamer Sha Duo praised?】
【This is the New Beast Tamer Gao Xulu praised?】
【Winning with a Fire Pet Beast in the F-Class isn't that surprising; I could do it too.】
【You finally posted on Superblog! I've been waiting for two days!】
【Sha Duo said you could participate in the Regional Tournament. I'll follow you to see if I can witness a new star rise.】
Most of the comments were from people who had come for Sha Duo and Gao Xulu.
These people might not have watched the Newcomer Competition, but they had seen the clips where Sha Duo and Gao Xulu praised her.
Given Sha Duo and Gao Xulu's popularity, it wasn't surprising that she had gained tens of thousands of followers in such a short time.
After reading a few comments, Qiao Sang closed Superblog and opened the forum.
【How do you train Mars Rain?】
Since she had promised Fangflare, she needed to start figuring it out.
Eating Super Spicy Chicken Wings wouldn't work.
Back then, eating the extremely spicy chicken wings was to stimulate the Fire Energy within Fangflare.
Mars Rain's skill involved the Fire Pet Beast launching a condensed Fire Energy sphere into the sky, which then exploded in mid-air, raining down energy on the target.
How to condense the Energy Orb, how to successfully release it in mid-air, and how to control its explosion—these were the challenges she needed to face.
The internet, as always, was full of avid netizens. Within seconds of posting her question, Qiao Sang saw a reply.
