Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 614: You Can Read Now?

"I got it." Qiao Sang nodded.

Sylvia smiled and said, "Then I'll-"

Before she could finish, Qiao Sang interrupted, "Let me use the restroom first. I'll be right back."

She turned around and reached for the car door.

Sylvia was momentarily stunned before saying, "There's a restroom in my car. You can use it here."

Qiao Sang turned back and seriously declined, "No, thanks. It's a number two, I'm afraid the smell will be too much."

Sylvia: …

"I'll have Swift Moth guide you." Sylvia offered.

"No need!" Qiao Sang refused again.

"I saw the restroom on the way here. I still remember where it is."

With that, she opened the car door and left, afraid Sylvia might say something else.

Sylvia watched the girl walk away, her expression turning indifferent.

A girl this young couldn’t possibly own a pet beast with an Ultimate-level Hypnosis skill. The one in her arms must be wearing a lightweight miniaturization ring, probably a rich kid who borrowed a family elder's pet beast to take on a mission for fun.

As for taking on her mission? It was probably just an excuse to visit the Theo Film Studio and see some celebrities.

Qiao Sang had no idea the mission issuer had overanalyzed things this much.

Following her memory, she arrived at the restroom.

However, she didn’t go in. Instead, she stood in a quiet spot nearby where few people passed by.

"Little Treasure." Qiao Sang turned her head toward the air.

"Xun Xun~" Little Treasure materialized within her line of sight.

"Do you think you can hypnotize someone’s subconscious?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Xun Xun…"

Little Treasure shook his head honestly.

He wasn’t confident, he had never tried before…

Figures. Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, then immediately pulled out her phone to search for methods to hypnotize the subconscious.

When a pet beast's skill proficiency reaches a certain level, it can often evolve into more advanced applications.

Previously, Qiao Sang had been focused on competitions and her college entrance exams, leaving no time to explore alternative uses for skills.

If not for this mission, she probably wouldn’t have thought of having Little Treasure practice subconscious hypnosis at all.

Still, she wasn’t entirely clueless about it.

A long time ago, she had taken on a mission where the target, Ghost Lamp, had been hypnotized by Little Treasure.

The mission issuer had explained that dreams are the activities of the subconscious. When someone is dreaming, their conscious mind is inactive, allowing the subconscious to surface.

As she recalled this, the webpage loaded and displayed some related information

[To hypnotize someone's subconscious, the skill proficiency must be high, at least at the Mastered level. Low-proficiency hypnosis is easily detected by the target. If the target has strong mental resistance, the hypnotic dream will be full of flaws, like a paper-thin illusion that shatters instantly.]

[However, even if the skill is "Mastered," success isn’t guaranteed. If the energy output isn’t controlled properly, the hypnotist’s subconscious might accidentally seep into the target’s dream.]

[Additionally, if the target’s mental strength is too weak, they may become trapped in the dream. Even after waking, they might struggle to distinguish reality from illusion, so precise control is crucial.]

"Xun Xun…" Little Treasure floated over, seriously staring at the phone screen as if it could understand.

This seems really difficult… Qiao Sang sighed again and closed her phone, deciding not to waste time scrolling further.

The difficulty mainly stemmed from the lack of time, after all, the mission issuer was still waiting for her.

Theory couldn't compare to practice.

Qiao Sang reached into her pocket and took out two Chan Chan Stones on duty today.

From Swift Moth's profile, she recalled it was a Beginner-level pet beast, same as Chan Chan Stones, so their mental strength should be similar.

"Chan Chan?"

The two Chan Chan Stones, expecting to start working, looked around but saw no chili peppers. Confused, they turned to Qiao Sang.

"I need your help with something." Qiao Sang said.

"Let Little Treasure try his hypnosis on you. When you wake up, describe your dream to me. I'll give you extra food tonight."

Time in dreams and reality flows at different speeds. Half a minute should be enough. If they didn’t wake up by then, Little Treasure could use his Tongue Lick skill to wake them.

"Chan Chan."

The two Chan Chan Stones glanced at each other, then nodded in unison.

Extra food? Say no more.

Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure and was just about to have him start when-

"Lu."

At that moment, Lubao finally lost patience and poked her head out of the backpack, expressionless. She let out a short cry, asking: Do we really have to train here?

Even though they were outside the restroom, they weren’t that far away. The lingering odor still affected the air around them.

Qiao Sang had been too focused on the hypnosis practice to notice before.

Now that Lubao pointed it out, she immediately realized, the air here really wasn’t fresh.

Without hesitation, she picked up Yabao and left.

Seeing this, Lubao was satisfied and retreated back into the backpack.

Qiao Sang moved about dozens of meters away before nodding to Little Treasure.

"You can start now."

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure's eyes glowed purple as he gazed at the two Chan Chan Stones.

"Chan Chan…"

The two Chan Chan Stones willingly met his gaze, and immediately shut their eyes involuntarily.

A low-proficiency Hypnosis skill can only target one individual at a time. But once it reaches Ultimate, any mentally weak target who makes eye contact with the hypnotist will fall under its spell.

Little Treasure knew this well, he had once knocked out an entire group of ants with hypnosis.

"Xun Xun…"

Little Treasure focused carefully, controlling his energy output.

He remembered, the article had emphasized precise control…

Qiao Sang kept track of time.

Half a minute passed, but the Chan Chan Stones remained unconscious.

She glanced at Little Treasure, who instantly understood her meaning. He floated over and licked each Chan Chan Stone.

"Chan Chan…"

"Chan Chan…"

The two Chan Chan Stones slowly woke up.

Qiao Sang eagerly asked, "How did the dream feel?"

"Chan Chan."

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

"Chan Chan."

The two Chan Chan Stones recalled their dream and replied: It felt real.

Just like usual, Little Treasure had been showing them tragic movies, they hadn’t even realized it was a dream.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure chirped smugly.

Of course! He had controlled the energy output perfectly.

It made sense that the Chan Chan Stones hadn’t realized they were dreaming. Little Treasure was a High-level pet beast with Ultimate- level Hypnosis, while the Chan Chan Stones were just Beginner-level. There was no way they could resist…

Still, Little Treasure had managed the energy output well, they woke up with their minds intact.

The only issue? Qiao Sang couldn’t see into their subconscious, she had no way to verify the dream’s content.

Wait…

Suddenly, something dawned on Qiao Sang.

She snapped her head toward Little Treasure, eyes widening in shock.

"You can read now?"

She distinctly remembered that after closing her phone, she hadn’t told him about managing energy output!

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure froze for a moment, then scratched his head sheepishly.

Just a little bit…
