Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Qiao Sang silently listened.

Xie Yang continued, "You have to understand, the popularity of the Flame Hound is temporary. We need to prepare as soon as possible. There may be many Beast Tamers, but only a handful can afford a pet worth millions."

"This is why I approached you for a partnership. We have many channels to buy Fire fang Dogs in Hanggang, and with you, these people will pay attention to the Fire fang Dogs we have."

Although Qiao Sang didn't have business experience, she understood a bit.

Beast Tamers are unlikely to buy pets online. They prefer to see and select them in person.

This means that beasts from one region rarely end up in the hands of Beast Tamers from other regions.

One reason is the distance, and another is that most Beast Tamers focus only on the creatures available in their area.

If a Tamer contracts with a beast from another region, there might be no guidance on how to nurture it, including its diet, skill training, and evolution, it would all have to be figured out on their own.

When the news that Flame Hound also have psychic attributes is revealed, it will primarily be the Beast Tamers in Yunhua who will choose to buy them. Tamers in other regions might just discuss it online.

If a Fire fang Dog breeding store were opened in Hanggang City, only the wealthy people in Hanggang would likely buy them. That’s probably why Xie Yang didn’t want to go solo but approached her instead.

With her presence, wealthy Beast Tamers from Hangang and nearby cities would be attracted.

Otherwise, established pet stores or regional beast bases would always seem more reliable than a newly opened shop.

Businesspeople really do have sharp minds... Qiao Sang thought as she faced Xie Yang’s confident gaze, which seemed certain she would agree.

She carefully said, "Actually, I don’t know the conditions required for the Fire fang Dog to evolve into a Flame Hounds. We still need the researchers to investigate, and once they figure it out, they’ll probably publish the findings. I might not be able to help you."

Xie Yang was stunned for a moment.

"That’s fine. Even without exclusive information, having you with us means we won’t struggle to make money."

Qiao Sang calmly replied, "I’m still a student. Right now, I just want to focus on my studies."

Xie Yang was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected her to turn him down after all he’d said.

"Do you know how much money we could make?"

Xie Yang, still unwilling to give up, said, "If we partner up, you won’t have to do anything. I’ll handle all the finances. You just need to make videos and promote it, it won’t affect your studies. We’ll split the earnings 80-20, and if you think that’s too low, we can negotiate."

Qiao Sang immediately responded, "It’s not about the money. I’m still a student, I don’t need that much."

Xie Yang stared at her in silence, his expression like someone who had fallen in love at first sight with a perfect girl, only to realize there was something wrong with her mind.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Yang said, "But you’re a Beast Tamer! If you want to go far in this field, you’ll need a lot of money!"

Qiao Sang smiled shyly. "My mom has money."

Xie Yang: ...

When she got home, the first thing Qiao Sang did was summon Yabao.

Looking at Yabao’s million-dollar stature, she felt a surge of affection.

“Let’s skip the energy pills today. What would you like to eat? I’ll make something for you.” Qiao Sang said softly.

Yabao, just out of the Beast Tamer’s Codex, froze at her words.

"Xun!"

Little Treasure wasn’t happy.

He floated up in front of his Beast Tamer, puffing out his cheeks and pointing at himself with his short claws, indicating he wanted to eat too.

"Alright, I’ll cook for you as well." Qiao Sang laughed.

"Xun~" Little Treasure happily floated around her in a circle.

"Yap..."

Yabao’s expression twisted.

This idiot didn’t even know how bad his Beast Tamer’s cooking was.

"Yap yap."

Shaking his head, Yabao decided to stick with his stomach’s desires.

Qiao Sang gave in.

"Fine, I’ll only cook for Little Treasure."

"Xun~" Little Treasure gleefully floated in another circle.

Half an hour later.

After taking a bite of the food, Little Treasure’s happiness disappeared completely...

Meanwhile, Yabao happily munched on his energy pills as Qiao Sang picked up her phone to call her mother.

As soon as the call connected, Qiao Sang got straight to the point.

"Mom, stop working. Let’s start a business together."

Money is still important, just not with someone she didn’t know well.

After all, she was still young, and the other party was a shrewd businessman.

Partnerships with unequal power never last.

Besides, who needs an 80-20 split when you can keep all the profits yourself?

But since she was still in school and had no time, her first thought was her mother.

Ye Xiangting’s temple throbbed. But, given her daughter’s recent excellent behavior, she held back her initial response.

"I like my current job. I don’t want to start a business."

"It’s a guaranteed eight-figure, maybe even nine-figure business." Qiao Sang said.

There was silence on the other end.

After a long pause, Ye Xiangting asked, "What business?"

Qiao Sang smiled, knowing she’d hooked her. She repeated everything Xie Yang had told her.

Ye Xiangting took several seconds to process the information while Qiao Sang continued, "With that kind of money, we can buy a standalone house. Great Owl would no longer have to worry about being scolded by the neighbors for making too much noise and could finally leave the Beast Codex. Plus, Fat Dove might have a chance to evolve twice more into the mighty Great Dove."

After a long silence, Ye Xiangting asked, "When did your Fire fang Dog evolve into a Flame Hound? Why didn’t I know about it?"

Qiao Sang froze, her mind racing.

"Mom, don’t you watch the news?" Qiao Sang said in a hurt tone.

"I thought you’d see it and call me. I can’t believe you didn’t know."

Ye Xiangting hesitated, awkwardly changing the topic.

"Starting a breeding shop isn’t something you can do overnight. Let’s talk when I finish up here. I’ll pick you up from school, and we’ll discuss it at home."

Qiao Sang, excited, said, "No need! Just come to Chang’an Road, Tianjing Garden, apartment 1705. That’s where I’m staying now."

Her mother’s voice immediately rose.

"Aren’t you living on campus?!"

Qiao Sang: ...

"After Yabao evolved into a Flame Hound, he got too big. The dorm is too small, so it’s inconvenient. The vice principal approved me living off-campus." Qiao Sang explained.

With a legitimate reason and the vice principal’s approval, Ye Xiangting didn’t pursue the matter further.

On the day of training, Qiao Sang arrived at school, but this time, Little Treasure wasn’t invisibly perched on her head.

For some reason, he had been asleep since early morning.

Having no choice, Qiao Sang returned him to the Beast Codex.

As she walked to the training grounds, she spotted Shi Gaofeng crouched down, talking to his Thornberry Beast.

"Good morning." Qiao Sang greeted him.

Shi Gaofeng turned and smiled.

"Huan Huan."

Qiao Sang: ...
