Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

Ahri also turned her head to look at her subordinate, Defeat Dragon, alongside her own beast tamer.

"Ice ridges?"

The Ice Spine Dragon was suddenly glanced at and turned its face away uncomfortably, letting out a hesitant cry at its tamer.

Qin Minghao paused for a moment, deciding to save face for his pet and talk to it about not being so narcissistic when they got back.

The Phantom Moon Fox was also a boy, and it was clear that he wasn't interested in it.

Ahri looked completely bewildered. This silly dragon has bad eyesight? Who's been staring at it?

Lin Su didn't notice the movements of the pets and pondered for a moment.

It does seem feasible.

She had just sent a message to her homeroom teacher saying that she had passed the interview for admission without taking the entrance exam and that she would go to complete the procedures for leaving school tomorrow morning. For the next 20 days or so, she didn't have anything important to do except exercise and study.

But besides the Qihang Cup, which is currently holding its finals, what other competitions are suitable for students to participate in?

"I hadn't thought about it before. Do you have any suggestions?" Lin Su asked naturally.

She had only been in this world for five days and hadn't paid any attention to this kind of information.

Qin Minghao didn't expect to be asked questions in return, so he actually went through all the matches he knew in his mind.

"The Sky Arena Challenge, and the Rookie Cup this summer," Qin Minghao said earnestly. These were the two he also planned to participate in. "Could you let me know if you're going to sign up?"

The chances of encountering a Fairy-type in a regular match are too small, and there aren't any Fairy-types of suitable level to use as sparring partners in the battle gym. After all, people who can contract Fairy-types aren't short of money for a few sparring partners.

Lin Su readily agreed, "Sure."

-----------------

When I got home, I finally didn't order takeout again.

Lin Su used the sweet peaches she bought a couple of days ago to make an energy meal for Ali, and used the leftover meat, eggs and vegetables to make a deluxe version of instant noodles for herself.

After the man and the beast had eaten and drunk their fill, they naturally got down to business.

After reviewing all the little notes posted around the house, Ah Li continued practicing water-splitting, while Lin Su turned on her computer to check competition information.

With four months to go before the Rising Stars Cup, she's focusing on something else.

Sky Arena Challenge.

The most popular battle attraction at the Pet Paradise. With its backdrop of ice and fire clashing, towering glass towers reaching into the clouds, and a Sky Dragon with its enormous wings spread, the promotional webpage alone is incredibly eye-catching.

A new tournament cycle begins at the beginning of each month. The competition format is not limited to 1v1 battles, and the top three winners will receive a large cash reward.

The preliminary round was a free-for-all between pets.

There are 20 arenas in total, which are evenly distributed according to the number of applicants. The last 2 people who remain in each arena will advance. If only 1 person remains, no replacement will be made, meaning a maximum of 40 people will advance.

The second round begins with 1v1 duels, with the winner advancing to the next stage. If 39 players advance from the preliminary round, the player with the highest online popularity among those eliminated in the previous round will also participate in this round. A maximum of 20 players will advance from this round.

The same applies to the three rounds; a maximum of 10 players will advance.

And so on, until the final.

The entire competition will be broadcast live. Popularity voting will be based on the number of votes before the start of each stage, and each person is limited to one vote per stage.

The rewards for winning are also very generous.

The winner of the second round will receive free admission to all attractions at the petting zoo for six months; the winner of the third round will receive free admission for one year; and the winner of the fourth round will receive free admission for three years. In addition, the top three winners will receive substantial cash prizes and special gifts from the sponsoring company for that month.

The entry requirement is that participants must be F-rank Beast Tamers under the age of 18. If a participant has two pets, they can register for the competition separately. Each pet can only participate once per year.

The March competitions are over, and the registration channel for April doesn't open until the 1st, so it's still quite a while...

Lin Su set a reminder, closed the registration page, and took out a practice book for the high school entrance exam to work on.

She has already finished reading the textbook; combining learning with practice will help her retain the knowledge more firmly.

-----------------

At 8:42 a.m. the following day.

After safely finishing their two-hour morning run, Lin Su went to the school to complete the early departure procedures and sign the guaranteed admission agreement. Then, she took Ali to the Beast Taming Center in Nanjiang City.

He had two Beast Taming Badges in his bag.

She's here today to retrieve the pet eggs that the original homeowner, an elderly man, couldn't hatch.

After all, since the old man used the life skill stone of his pet, it's better to take the egg out even if it really can't hatch. At worst, we can just release it back into the wild as the letter said.

The Beast Taming Alliance's mission handover hall is located on the fourth floor of the center.

A huge display screen stands in the center of the hall, listing the currently available tasks according to their difficulty level, and scrolling on the screen.

Near the entrance, in addition to the ticket dispenser, there are ten self-service task inquiry machines, and the rest are manual service windows.

Lin Su swiped her ID card and Beast Taming Badge at the entrance to get a number, and then waited there while watching the task screen to see her number called.

The service windows here are much slower than the information modification process on the first floor.

In addition to helping post tasks, staff also need to match tasks and verify the qualifications of beast tamers who want to accept them. Only after confirming a two-way match can the task be accepted.

For example, if you're interested in the reward for a certain quest, but the quest requires a water-type pet with the healing skill, then even if your grass-type pet also has the healing skill, you still can't accept the quest.

So usually, the beast tamer goes up and says what type of task they want or what reward they want, and then the staff matches and recommends tasks based on the pet's attributes and level. The beast tamer then chooses from the recommended tasks on the spot.

Wouldn't it be too slow to choose on the spot?

A quick glance at the tasks on the big screen reveals that they all involve forming teams for dungeons.

If she hadn't accidentally helped little Fu Yuchen, she would have originally come to the quest lobby to post quests to recruit teammates or to see which teams were short of healers.

Lin Su carried the Illusion Moon Fox towards the mission query machine on the side.

Since you're just idling around anyway, why not see if there's anything suitable for you?

The filter criteria were set to Nanjiang City, F-rank Beastmaster, Fairy or Psychic type, and the machine immediately provided tasks that met the criteria, arranged in reverse chronological order of release time.

[Task: I've never seen a fairy-type pet in real life, but I'd like to meet one and take a picture. I need permission to post it online with my friends.]

[Mission Location: Riverside Villa District, specific details will be provided after accepting the mission]

[Task Reward: 3000 Alliance Coins]

Special requirements: None

Lin Su glanced at it and was surprised to find that there was such a task.

There's only one riverside villa area in the city, but it's divided into inner and outer sections. The inner section is for the truly wealthy, while the outer section is mostly shared by online celebrities. Just looking at the reward, you can guess what the task poster is planning.

Lin Su swiped the screen to look at the next one.

[Task: Need a beginner or intermediate Fairy-type battle sparring partner, preferably someone who knows Psychic-type moves and can turn invisible. Information about professional sparring partners is also welcome.]

[Mission Location: No. 18, Riverside Villa Area]

[Task Reward: 10 Alliance Coins per hour for coaching (negotiable)]

Special requirements: None

Lin Su: "..."

Was this task designed for her? The reward is so high, I'm tempted to take it, what should I do?
