Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 682: Lava Crystal

The next morning, Yuna arrived at Qiao Sang’s current residence carrying a gift box for her visit.

Last night, Qiao Sang had taken note of a few classmates who were interested in starting a business and contacted them individually to schedule a future meeting.

Fortunately, everyone gave her face and agreed without hesitation.

“You didn’t need to bring anything.” Qiao Sang said with a smile as she accepted the gift box.

“It’s an S-rank lava crystal. I don’t have a fire-type beast, so I brought it for you.” Yuna said with a smile.

S-rank? An S-rank lava crystal? As a visiting gift? Qiao Sang’s eyes flickered with confusion, and suddenly, the gift box in her hands felt much heavier.

Yuna continued, “Your Fire Qilu evolved in a volcano, so it should have skills related to lava. A lava crystal can significantly enhance such skills. Even if it doesn’t, using the crystal will make it easier to learn lava-type skills in the future.”

This was clearly a carefully chosen gift... Qiao Sang was slightly touched.

“Thank you.”

“No need to be so polite with me.” Yuna replied while taking off her shoes and stepping inside.

She quickly came to a stop, staring in a daze at the direction of the coffee table in the living room.

Following her gaze, Qiao Sang saw Little Treasure and his clone playing on the computer.

Yuna hesitated for a moment before asking, “Why are there two Ghost Ring Kings? And... are they playing on the computer?”

At the dinner yesterday, after much coaxing from everyone, Qiao Sang had revealed Little Treasure, so Yuna naturally knew that the pet before her was the evolved form of Ghost Ring Phantom.

Qiao Sang explained, “There’s only one. The other is his clone. And yes, they’re playing on the computer. He's taken a liking to computers lately.”

Yuna was baffled.

A ghost-type pet that likes computers?

And it plays together with its clone?

Can it type?

Can it even understand the text on the screen?

Unable to resist, Yuna quickly walked over to the coffee table and stared blankly at the keyboard, eyes wide.

Oh. My. God. The Ghost Ring King not only knows how to type, but it’s fast too!

“Xun xun!”

At that moment, Little Treasure was fully immersed in the game with his clone and didn’t care that someone was standing nearby. His claws clattered furiously on the keyboard.

Just then, Qiao Sang said, “Let’s talk in the study.”

“Okay...” Yuna responded dazedly.

She didn’t know whether it was the species itself that was special or just Qiao Sang’s Ghost Ring King. She had never seen a ghost-type pet that could play on a computer with its clone. Her thoughts were still stuck on the Ghost Ring King even after they reached the study.

“I want to collaborate with you to establish a beast master club.” Qiao Sang said, getting straight to the point as she sat on the couch.

Qiao Sang had already mentioned this when they scheduled the meeting, and Yuna had come for that reason. She sat down across from her and had just opened her mouth to speak-

Knock knock.

The vice principal’s back? Qiao Sang paused and went to open the door.

Looking up, she saw Gangbao carrying two cups of tea with her wings.

Qiao Sang: ???

She hesitated, then asked, “Did you make this tea?”

“Gang Guard.” She replied.

Gangbao nodded, indicating that serving tea to guests was part of proper hospitality. That’s what she learned from the TV drama Little Treasure had shown her. She set the tea down and left the room.

Qiao Sang stood there for a while and finally muttered, “...Nice.”

Yuna wasn’t surprised at all by Steel Guardian Falcon serving tea. She’d seen many butler-type pets with keen social awareness.

“So, what kind of collaboration do you have in mind for the beast master club?” Yuna asked as she sipped the tea.

Qiao Sang sat back down and said, “I’ll invest money in exchange for shares.”

She took a sip of the tea.

Not bad. Gangbao had a real talent for making tea...

Yuna paused in thought, set down her cup, and said, “I don’t lack funds to start a beast master club right now.”

“Then what do you want?” Qiao Sang asked.

Last night when she brought up the idea of collaborating, Yuna didn’t object. Today, she even brought an S-rank lava crystal, so it was clear she wanted to work together.

“I want you.” Yuna said, staring at Qiao Sang, enunciating every word.

Qiao Sang: ???

She subtly leaned back, crossed her arms, and looked alert.

Yuna twitched at her reaction.

“I mean, I want you to join the beast master club as a team member.”

You should really phrase that better... Qiao Sang sighed in relief and sat back to her original position.

“That might not benefit you. I’m going back to Blue Star in half a year, so I won’t be able to help you in competitions.”

“I know.” Yuna said seriously.

“I’m investing in your future. Many top-tier beast masters compete interstellarly. I believe you’ll reach that level.”

“I won’t place any demands on you. You can decide whether to compete or not. But when you’re ready for interstellar competitions, I’ll provide you with a professional team and guidance.”

“Before that, I’ll support you in any way I can.”

“I won’t limit your freedom or movements. When the club is officially founded, I just hope you’ll create an interstellar account and certify our club’s name under it.”

That actually didn’t sound bad... Qiao Sang was a little tempted.

Seeing her hesitation, Yuna grew even more sincere:

“If you agree, I can bring the contract this afternoon. I’ll give you 35% of the shares.”

That was surprisingly generous. Qiao Sang hadn’t even planned on getting that much for investing money... she asked, “What’s in it for you?"

Yuna’s expression turned serious:

“Do you know how hard it is to find a beast master with the potential to become a top-tier pro? I’ve done the research, only 5% of beast master clubs across the galaxy have members at that level. Those clubs are all highly prestigious.”

“But a top-tier beast master would never join a newly founded, unknown club. You, however, have the potential to become one.”

Qiao Sang laughed.

“You really believe in me.”

Yuna stared at the girl in front of her.

“At the very least, I’ve never seen or heard of, anyone your age, sixteen, who’s reached your level of strength as a beast master.”

Qiao Sang was quiet for a moment.

“When do you plan to start the club?”

Yuna knew she had a shot now and quickly replied:

“Once I officially move to 1st District for the school term, I’ll start preparing. I’ve already reached out to a few pro beast masters with some recognition. I’ll poach a few trending competitors from other clubs too. Our debut won’t disappoint!”

It seemed Yuna had already thought about the future of the club in detail. She was on Chaosu Star, Qiao Sang was on Blue Star, Yuna was offering resources and shares without restricting her. Even if things didn’t work out and the club failed, Qiao Sang wouldn’t lose anything...

After a moment’s thought, Qiao Sang said, “Alright, bring the contract this afternoon.”

Yuna’s eyes lit up.

“Great!”

“Oh right, do you have a name for the club?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Chaosu Beast Master Club.” Yuna said, revealing the name she had already prepared.
