Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 74 - 70: Name?

Chapter 74: Chapter 70: Name?

Qiao Sang had yet to steady her nerves.

Meanwhile, the Arrow Flame Owl that had carried her away coolly turned and left.

Indeed, when the deed was done, it vanished with its deeds and glory deeply concealed.

Hou Xiangyu, who was still seated in Section B of the audience, watched in utter confusion as Qiao Sang and Wei Wenya were carried away by the Arrow Flame Owl and the Four-Directions Swallow, respectively.

The award ceremony had begun?

What about him?

...

He was, after all, the third place winner!

Why wasn’t anyone coming to fetch him?

There was no sense of propriety at all!

Was he expected to walk up there by himself?!

Before he could grumble any further in his mind, his body suddenly became unbalanced, and he found himself hanging in midair.

“Ahhh, ahhhhhh!”

Qiao Sang watched Hou Xiangyu, who had been snatched onto the stage by a Strapping Flight Owl that flew in from outside, with a dazed expression.

So this was what it felt like to watch someone else being carried onto the stage…

How embarrassing…

Qiao Sang had made up her mind.

If the organizers later asked her to make a victory speech, she would definitely take the opportunity to curse a couple of times in front of so many people.

The prizes started to be distributed from the third place, and soon it was her turn.

The first place prize was 200,000 Alliance Currency plus a Pet Beast Egg.

But what was handed to Qiao Sang wasn’t a Pet Beast Egg; it was a voucher for choosing any Pet Beast Egg at the Pet Beast Base.

The organizers were generous!

It only then occurred to Qiao Sang that the platform’s announcement for the first place prize mentioned a random Pet Beast Egg.

She had thought that the organizers hadn’t disclosed the type of egg initially to add an element of suspense; she had not expected they would let her choose one directly from the Pet Beast Base.

Although this voucher could only be used to select a Pet Beast Egg valued at no more than 500,000.

But this was much better than being given an egg without any choice as to the type.

The slots for a Beast Tamer’s contracts are limited, and each one requires careful deliberation.

If you have no choice due to constraints, that’s one thing, but if there’s a choice, you certainly want to choose one that you fancy.

The second creature Qiao Sang wished to contract had to be Water-type, Grass-type, or Flight Type Pet Beast.

With this amount of money, there were many more options available.

“Contestant Qiao Sang, do you have anything to say about winning first place this time?” the host asked.

“First of all, I want to thank my mom, her support allowed me to contract the Fire-Toothed Dog, next I want to thank my Fire-Toothed Dog who has been with me all along; I couldn’t have won this competition without it. Lastly, I want to thank the organizers…”

When the photo session of the award ceremony ended, Qiao Sang called out to Sha Duo, who was taking the photo with her: “Mr. Sha Duo, I have a friend who is your fan.”

…

Qiao Sang returned to the audience.

The final part of the Bai Xinsai was the drawing of five lucky winners, and Bai Yunmiao was not among them.

“Qiao genius, are you going to check out this Pet Beast Egg now, or will you wait until you have the second page of the Beast Taming Codex?” Bai Yunmiao asked with a smile, showing no sign of disappointment.

“I’m probably going to the Pet Beast Base tomorrow to have a look,” Qiao Sang replied.

Bai Yunmiao was about to ask more when she saw Qiao genius pull a piece of paper from her bag and hand it to her.

“I just got Sha Duo’s autograph for you,” she said.

Bai Yunmiao was stunned for a long while, then looked down at the paper in disbelief.

A moment later.

“Ah! Qiao genius, I love you to death!” Bai Yunmiao lunged at Qiao Sang.

“Ya!”

The Fire-Toothed Dog caught in the middle cried out.

Bai Yunmiao quickly let go, fearing the Fire-Toothed Dog might give her a nip.

…

A coffee shop near Shouke Garden.

The warm lighting inside cast a cozy and serene atmosphere on the walls.

A pink pet beast, carrying a tray with three cups of coffee on its head using both hands, approached a table of female customers sitting by the glass window.

“Here you go.”

It placed the coffees on the table one by one, its slender vertical oval brown eyes smiling as they narrowed.

“And who might this be?” Song Yuan asked.

“This is my friend, Bai Yunmiao,” Qiao Sang introduced.

“Hello,” Bai Yunmiao said with a straight face, pretending to be mature and composed.

Qiao Sang felt somewhat helpless. Ever since she gave away Sha Duo’s autograph, it was clear that Bai Yunmiao automatically elevated their friendship to a new level.

Topics that were never brought up before were now discussed thoroughly all at once.

The two usually took different buses home; a few days ago, they went their separate ways after leaving the Pet Beast Arena.

But this time, Bai Yunmiao insisted on coming along, concerned after overhearing the partnership discussion. She said the world is full of perils, and being only 15, it was easy for her to get deceived.

“Your friend is really beautiful. It’s true that the friends of beauties are beauties themselves,” Song Yuan complimented.

“Not at all,” Bai Yunmiao blushed and shyly looked down.

Qiao Sang: “…”

A little praise and she gets like this, more like she’s the one who’s easily fooled.

After some small talk, Song Yuan got down to business.

“This is the draft contract I’ve prepared. Take a look and if there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, let me know,” she said.

Qiao Sang started to read the contract closely.

Three minutes later.

“I can only sign a six-month endorsement,” Qiao Sang said, looking up.

“Why? Are you dissatisfied with the terms I’ve offered?” Song Yuan frowned.

The terms she offered were quite favorable, considering Qiao Sang had won first place at the Bai Xinsai.

But that first place would only be a crowd-puller for a few days before the hype died down.

The subsequent appeal would need to rely on advertising and packaging.

An annual fee of 600,000 Alliance Currency for an endorsement was something she offered because she saw Qiao Sang’s potential and wanted to build a good relationship.

“Because the Fire-Toothed Dog will evolve in half a year, and the contract specifies the Fire-Toothed Dog, not the Blazehound, so if the Fire-Toothed Dog’s image doesn’t appear after half a year, I would be in breach of contract,” Qiao Sang said earnestly.

The endorsement requires a new popular product to be filmed once a quarter, and the Fire-Toothed Dog would definitely not be present to shoot the product after half a year.

Song Yuan: “…”

Evolve in half a year?

Where does her confidence come from…?

She was titled first place at the Bai Xinsai, not a Cotton Caterpillar…

For a moment, Song Yuan regretted discussing the endorsement deal with Qiao Sang.

Often, new Beast Tamers who win a few matches and achieve small victories tend to lose sight of reality, only to come to their senses after some time has passed.

She hadn’t expected Qiao Sang to be that sort of person.

“Six months it is then. If there’s nothing else, I’ll print the formal contract based on what we have here,” Song Yuan nodded.

Although she was somewhat prejudiced against Qiao Sang, she still smiled as usual, no different from before.

Qiao Sang, however, sensitively noticed that the other party’s tone had cooled significantly.

But she didn’t have any particular thoughts on it.

She simply assumed it was because she only signed for half a year.

Once they had settled on the contract, the three chatted for a while longer when Song Yuan suddenly asked, “By the way, what’s the Fire-Toothed Dog’s name?”

Qiao Sang stared blankly for a moment before hesitantly saying, “Name?”

Song Yuan: “…”

Bai Yunmiao turned her head with a laugh, “She’s asking what other name you’ve given the Fire-Toothed Dog. But you probably haven’t decided on one yet.”

Song Yuan continued, “That won’t do. When we do the publicity, we can’t just keep calling it Fire-Toothed Dog. It needs another name to distinguish it from other Fire-Toothed Dogs. What do you think of calling it Hangkang’s Most Handsome ‘Fang’?”
