My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 146 - 145: The Decision of Sudai
Chapter 146 -145: The Decision of Sudai
After investigating the matters in Dragon City County, Chen Zhenglong did not stay for long and left that afternoon.
Originally, Shao Zifeng wanted to invite him home for a meal and then return to Su City with them.
However, Chen Zhenglong had just become the director of the city bureau and needed to inspect other subordinate counties, so Shao Zifeng didn’t feel it was appropriate to express his own wishes.
It was that person named Xiao Zhou who solemnly apologized to him before leaving, thanking him for his contributions to the people of Dragon City County, which made Shao Zifeng a bit embarrassed and dissipated the slight annoyance he had felt in his heart.
Carrying a briefcase with a Tang sword inside, Shao Zifeng walked home with the freshly bathed Chasing Moon Dog, pondering the news about the regional university competition that Chen Zhenglong had learned.
As the only university in Su City, the new president of the university had hoped to redeem themselves this year and aimed to achieve good results in this year’s College Cup regional competition, thereby relaxing the internal competition applications, hoping to allow students to adapt to the competition in advance.
...
If it hadn’t been for this, he would not have reached an agreement with the Su City Abnormal Administration Bureau, having students cooperate with the bureau to search the sewers.
But the subsequent developments caught him off guard. The sudden disaster disrupted his plans, causing the already sparse Combat Training Department to suffer dozens of casualties.
The number of students applying for transfers and the cancellation of Combat Training Master identities afterward was countless. After this blow, the originally ambitious new president felt somewhat disheartened.
He told Chen Zhenglong that the school’s focus this year was post-war recovery and would not specially assign teachers to handle competition matters.
Students who wanted to participate in the competition could apply to teachers on their own. If a teacher agreed, they would lead the team themselves, with the school providing only the most basic food and accommodation subsidies.
Chen Zhenglong, who bore an inescapable responsibility for the matter, did not say anything further, but conveyed the original words to Shao Zifeng. He then patted Shao Zifeng on the shoulder, telling him not to be discouraged, and if needed, he could find someone to accompany Shao Zifeng for pre-competition training.
In fact, Shao Zifeng did not mind this at all. He had only wanted the qualification to compete, and the absence of the school’s involvement actually made him feel more relaxed.
“Ao!!”
The howl from behind interrupted Shao Zifeng’s thoughts. He quickly turned around only to see the Chasing Moon Dog lying beneath a utility pole, covering its nose with both paws and eyes filled with a wronged expression from its silver-gray irises.
Due to evolution, its vision was weak during the day, and it had been following Shao Zifeng by the scent, trailing hesitantly behind him all the way.
However, when Shao Zifeng suddenly walked around a utility pole in the middle of the road, the Chasing Moon Dog, caught off guard, struck its most sensitive nose directly against it, causing its eyes to well up with tears.
Shao Zifeng chuckled and shook his head, squatting down to pet its fluffy head: “Just bite onto my sleeve and walk.”
“Wu~” The Chasing Moon Dog nuzzled against Shao Zifeng’s large hand and whimpered softly, appearing to coquet with him.
This meek demeanor was worlds apart from its imposing presence at night.
…
“Mom, I’m back.” Arriving at the gate of his family’s courtyard, Shao Zifeng knocked on the peeling iron door.
Soon, Shao Zifeng’s mother’s nagging voice came through: “You little scamp, when you say you’re going for night training you really train all night long, don’t you? I called you and you don’t answer. Look what time it is now; you’re this big and still making people worry… Eh, what’s this?”
As the iron door opened, Shao Zifeng’s mother looked surprised at the large dog beside Shao Zifeng.
Shao Zifeng checked his phone and indeed there were a dozen missed calls, likely because the player had been broken. He looked apologetically at his mother: “This is a Shandong fine-haired dog, you don’t recognize it?”
“Wu~”
The Chasing Moon Dog, upon seeing Shao Zifeng’s mother, wagged its tail and moved closer, wanting to rub its head against her hand, but due to its poor vision, it only rubbed the air, failing to make contact.
“Ya!” Shao Zifeng’s mother bent down in surprise to look at the Chasing Moon Dog sitting in front of her, still somewhat in disbelief, muttering, “It’s only been one night, how could it have evolved already. It looks like this doggy is blind… This little scoundrel didn’t deceive me, did he!”
Hearing his mother’s words, the Chasing Moon Dog looked at Shao Zifeng with a grievance.
Frowning, Shao Zifeng said discontentedly, “Mom, I’m right here! Besides, this is a Chasing Moon Dog, its vision during the day isn’t very good.”
“Ha… now that you mention it, it does bear some resemblance. Truly worthy of being my son, Shao Yuying.” Shao’s mother gave a dry laugh and quickly tried to smooth things over, patting the head of the Chasing Moon Dog, “Come inside and eat first, you hardly ever come and Qiqi has almost been crying with cravings.”
No sooner had her words fallen than the indistinct voice of Qiqi could be heard from the living room, “Meow… I’m not craving anything.”
“Qiqi, you’ve been sneaking food again!!”
“Meow~”
…
After lunch, leaving the Chasing Moon Dog to play with Shao’s mother, Shao Zifeng went back to his room alone.
Because he left in a hurry yesterday, the backpack under the bed hadn’t been dealt with, and after fermenting for a day and night, it had quite the odor.
Getting up to open the window, Shao Zifeng prepared to check over his loot.
He first opened the briefcase that held the katana, on the black velvet cushion there lay about twenty vials and the katana.
The technologically-customized katana paired with the rustic sheath of the hidden blade… well, to be honest, it didn’t really match.
His fingers grazed the cold blade, a flash of blue light flickering in his eyes.
[Name]: Custom Katana (Unnamed)
[Type]: Elemental Specialty Alloy
[Attribute]: Fire
[Quality]: ★★★
[Condition]: Intact
[Effect]: Elemental Conduction (Fire): Fire attribute elemental specialty alloy has a great effect on elemental conduction.
: Fire resistance: Can withstand a certain temperature of fire elemental burning.
[Description]: This special weapon was developed by the Great Xia to maximize the abilities of Combat Training Masters with an “Elemental Bonding Reaction.” Unfortunately, due to its high cost and lengthy production time, it was not favored. This katana is custom-made and doesn’t belong to any existing model.
Shao Zifeng: …

I must say, their knack for naming things is really garbage. Take that ring, for example, its name is the ‘Filthy Ring,’ just like the trashy white gear from beginner villages.
Having reviewed the information on the katana, Shao Zifeng wasn’t overly surprised. Although it was custom-made and had two special effects, overall, it could only be considered mediocre.
The first effect might give a certain boost during short-term blade nurturing fights, but its effects weren’t as significant for long-term nurturing.
As for the second effect, it might save Shao Zifeng some money from constantly buying new katanas, but the exact limit of what it could endure was currently unclear.
All things considered, spending 600,000 in reward credits to exchange for this katana did seem somewhat expensive, no wonder it wasn’t officially favored.
He slid the katana back into the hidden-edge sheath and placed it back into the briefcase, then Shao Zifeng took off the ring he was wearing and toyed with it.
This ring was strange; no matter how much Shao Zifeng washed it while showering, it always remained filthy.
Putting aside the initial excitement upon receiving it, Shao Zifeng realized upon reflection that this ring had some serious flaws—although its attributes were fancy, the only truly practical one was the third ability, “Soul Conversion.”
As for the reason, well…
In this world, how many non-physical mutant creatures are there? Most people have only seen them a few times while watching matches anyway.
