Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 190 - 181: Why Don’t You Play for a While

Chapter 190 -181: Why Don’t You Play for a While

Qiao Sang hadn’t had the chance to start explaining herself.

The girl next to them couldn’t help but retort after hearing Shi Gaofeng’s words: “My Water-type Pet Beast usually gets jobs just because of its shape-shifting ability. How am I supposed to get any jobs after you’ve given me a one-star negative review?”

“Besides, weren’t you satisfied with my Water-type Pet Beast’s shape-shifting when you first saw it?”

In the job market, the Water-type Pet Beast was known for taking on specialized tasks based on its unique abilities.

If it received a negative review, its shape-shifting ability would be questioned, and it would have to take on tasks that any water-type pet beast could do, which would definitely affect both the pay and the competition pressure from what it used to be.

Indeed, giving a negative review specifically targeting the unique trait of a Water-type Pet Beast felt like cutting off someone’s livelihood.

No wonder someone would block the school gate to get a change in rating.

Qiao Sang somewhat understood the girl’s actions; after all, not many could stand it if their source of income was threatened.

“You have the nerve to say that! If it wasn’t for your Water-type Pet Beast’s seemingly accurate transformation and your promise that it wouldn’t speak all day, why would I have let you take the job!” Shi Gaofeng said angrily. “If you hadn’t made that promise, would I be suffering like this right now?”

The girl’s momentum weakened somewhat: “Even so, you shouldn’t have given a one-star rating. It will make others doubt my Water-type Pet Beast’s shape-shifting ability.”

“Heh,” Shi Gaofeng chuckled coldly. “I got a one-star review; what makes you think you can’t get one as well?”

A one-star review, why fret about a one-star review…

Just as Qiao Sang silently watched from the side, Shi Gaofeng suddenly turned to ask, “Qiao Sang, you agree, right?”

The girl also looked over with a pitiful look in her eyes.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then took out her phone to check the time, and suggested, “There’s 16 minutes until we gather. Maybe you two can talk about this later.”

…

The training field.

Shi Gaofeng stood with his heels together, body erect, eyes looking straight ahead, assuming a military training posture.

“Did you hear what I said?” Zheng Guoping asked expressionlessly.

For someone who easily got veins popping with rage, an expressionless face could sometimes be even more terrifying.

Shi Gaofeng knew this well and stood at attention, replying loudly:

“Heard it! I promise to clean the toilets for a month, spotless, so everyone will feel like they’re using the bathroom at home when they go!”

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched slightly.

Zheng Guoping ignored him and turned to talk about today’s agenda: “You’ve all about finished the previous stage of practice. Next, you need to train in ‘subtracting’ your pet beasts’ skills.”

Subtraction? Qiao Sang was momentarily puzzled.

Zheng Guoping continued, “Sometimes, in beast fights, it’s not always better to be more ferocious. You have to rely on tactics. If you come across a Beast Tamer of similar level during a competition, what you’re really competing in is tactics.”

“The purpose of this training is to deceive the opponent’s eyes, preventing them from detecting your true strength and weakness.”

“I’m giving you one week. Everyone must reach proficiency with their pet beast’s strongest attack skill in reducing its power level at will.”

The first thing that came to Qiao Sang’s mind was Yaobao’s battle during the Bai Xinsai, against the opponent with the scale-tricking deception.

The opponent had disguised their Telekinesis from Grand Achievement Level to just Beginning Level, which was why at the start she was willing to struggle a bit.

Such things were quite common in Beast Taming competitions.

As long as it didn’t involve breaking rules, anything contestants did was permitted.

Some Beast Tamers would use trash talk to mess with their opponent’s morale.

There was even a publishing house that released “The Complete Garbage Talk,” and it sold well.

Some Beast Tamers would have their pet beasts feign serious injury, then strike a fatal blow when the opponent lowered their guard.

All these were tactics.

What Zheng Baolong was talking about was also a tactical approach: concealing real strength.

In a situation where the levels of the pet beasts everyone fielded were made transparent, the only thing that could be concealed was informational tactics related to skills.

Honestly, Qiao Sang felt she didn’t need to practice.

The school competition was just among middle schoolers, and she was confident she could overpower them with real strength without any of these shenanigans.

But since everyone was on the same team, if others practiced, she couldn’t just not practice.

During the free practice time.

Qiao Sang went off to the side and said to Yaobao, “Let’s try reducing the power of Flame Tooth by one level.”

Yaobao’s strongest attacking skill was Mars Rain, but its proficiency was only at Beginner level and could not be further reduced, so they had to practice with the second most powerful skill, Flame Tooth.
