Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 658: The Clubhouse

Yulianton University was ranked third among the top universities in the entire interstellar system.

As a prestigious comprehensive research university specializing in beast mastery, it had an excellent geographical location, with most of the resources in 1st District available to its students.

Only the top-tier elite of the interstellar system could study there, which naturally drove up the surrounding housing prices.

Being able to purchase a home in such a location wasn’t something money alone could achieve.

Qiao Sang casually remarked, “The university you got into must be pretty good too.”

It was an inevitable fact, if you had money and connections, even with poor aptitude, you could still manage to obtain an impressive degree.

“I attended Zhizhou University.” Milna said with a smile.

“That’s an outstanding top-tier university!” The female agent beside them couldn’t help but praise.

Zhizhou University? The university Central Hollow University was partnering with for exchange programs? Qiao Sang instinctively thought of Tang Yi and wondered how he had performed in the college entrance exams…

The three of them chatted intermittently.

Before long, they arrived at a two-story villa.

Milna stood before the facial recognition lock, and the door opened automatically.

Qiao Sang took a look around.

The villa’s living room was extremely spacious, with a high vaulted ceiling, large enough to accommodate a six-meter-tall Yabao.

At the center were a sofa and a coffee table for receiving guests, and the internal layout followed a "hui" (回) shape. From the second-floor railing, one could overlook everything on the first floor.

Besides common leisure spaces like bedrooms, a study, a gym, a home theater, and a pet training room, there were also six uniquely designed rooms, each with a distinct style.

Milna explained, “These rooms are for pet beasts. As you know, different species prefer different living environments. These six rooms were set up based on my parents’ pet beasts.”

“You can let your pet beasts try them out. They might find a room they like, since most pets of the same attribute prefer similar environments.”

She then pointed to a room filled with thorny vines and looked at Gangbao, saying, “For example, your Steel Guardian Falcon would be well-suited to that room. Steel-type bird pets build their nests among thorns, and as they grow, their bodies become tougher from the wounds they receive.”

Building nests in thorns, getting wounded… Just the thought of it made Qiao Sang wince internally. She forced a polite but awkward smile, “I don’t think it would like that.”

“Gang Guard.”

Gangbao glanced at her beast master. She had never said that.

“That’s a pity.” Milna said regretfully.

“If it stayed there, its defense would improve significantly.”

Hearing this, Gangbao couldn't help but steal a glance at the thorn-covered room.

She was… a little tempted.

The female agent interjected, “Even if it doesn’t like it, as its beast master, you can command it to go.”

Before Qiao Sang could respond, Milna spoke first, “If it doesn’t like it, then forget it. Let me show you the outdoor training field.”

Steel Guardian Falcons were an evolved form of Steel Falcons through bond evolution. Since it was a bond evolution, how could it be forced into an environment it disliked? If the agent didn’t even understand this about their client, how could she call herself an agent… Milna inwardly found it unprofessional.

However, she maintained a polite smile, revealing none of her thoughts.

“Alright.” Qiao Sang agreed without hesitation.

As long as the outdoor training field was spacious and durable without unnecessary equipment, it met her requirements.

Qiao Sang looked at the vast open space in front of her, satisfied with its size.

A thought occurred to her, and she asked, “My training will definitely damage the field. Is that okay?"

“Of course.” Milna reassured her with a smile.

“Then I have no other questions.” Qiao Sang said.

The female agent immediately took out the prepared contract and said, “Then let’s go inside and sign the contract.”

“Alright.” Qiao Sang nodded with a smile.

Milna also smiled.

The contract signing went smoothly. After both parties signed, Qiao Sang paid one month’s rent, an additional month’s deposit, and the agent’s fee.

The monthly rent was 160,000 Alliance Credits. If it weren’t for her unlimited credit card, Qiao Sang wouldn’t have considered renting it.

Milna helped register Qiao Sang’s face and fingerprints into the security system.

“If you have any issues, feel free to contact me.” Milna said after exchanging contact details.

“I do have one question now.”

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and asked, “Do you know any places nearby that train a beast master’s defensive abilities?”

Milna glanced at Gangbao and immediately understood, “There are plenty of places for that, but I know one with a great reputation. I’ll send you the location later.”

Qiao Sang thanked her.

After Milna and the agent left, Qiao Sang went to the outdoor training field and summoned Yabao.

“Yap Yap?”

Yabao looked around and then turned to his beast master.

“That’s right.” Qiao Sang confirmed.

“We’ll be living here for the next six months. You can train as much as you want.”

“Yap!”

Excitement lit up Yabao’s face.

He immediately started running around the field.

Qiao Sang watched with a smile and didn’t disturb him.

She headed to the second-floor bedroom, opened the window, and started making the bed and setting up toiletries.

Since she had prepared everything in Little Treasure’s storage ring, there was no need for a shopping trip.

After finishing, she took out her phone and sent her location to the vice principal.

[Qiao Sang: I’m staying here now. You can use this location to find me.]

The vice principal didn’t reply.

Qiao Sang didn’t wait and put away her phone before heading back to the training field.

By then, most of the ground had turned a deep red, covered in magma, with the air above it visibly distorting from the heat.

Yabao stood at the edge, tail drooping, head hanging low.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Yap…”

Yabao lifted his head pitifully, complaining that after using his ultimate move twice, he was completely drained of energy.

Running out of energy from big moves was normal… But why did Lubao’s Healing Light, another super-level move, barely seem to use any energy…? Qiao Sang pushed the thought aside and reassured Ya Bao, “The more energy it consumes, the stronger the move is.”

“Yap!”

Yabao’s ears perked up, and his tail wagged again, convinced by the logic.

Looks like she’d need to buy more energy recovery potions… Qiao Sang mused.

---

That afternoon, Qiao Sang left her newly rented villa to check out of the Vivoli Hotel. Then, she explored the shopping district near her residence, purchasing a large quantity of energy pellets for fire-type pet beasts and A-grade energy recovery potions.

Yes, A-grade energy recovery potions.

Unlike most places where A-grade potions were in short supply, here, every pet pharmacy had a few bottles, even if not in large quantities.

Qiao Sang didn’t hesitate, she swiped her card and bought them all.

Next, she followed her landlord’s directions to a high-end private clubhouse.

The walls were clad in marble, and even the security guards outside were well-dressed combat-type pet beasts.

Qiao Sang approached the reception desk and asked, “I was referred here. I heard this place trains beast masters’ defensive abilities?”

The tall receptionist smiled, “Yes, but we don’t just enhance a beast master’s defense, we also improve overall physical fitness.”

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up.

“I’d like to hire a professional trainer.”

The receptionist maintained her polite smile,

“Apologies, miss. Only beast masters ranked D and above can enroll.”

Without hesitation, Qiao Sang pulled out her Beast Master badge.

The receptionist’s expression flickered briefly before she quickly composed herself.

She checked the badge’s details and froze.

“All good?” Qiao Sang asked.

“My apologies.” The receptionist returned the badge respectfully.

“Do you have a preferred trainer, or would you like to review our options?”

“I want the most expensive one.” Qiao Sang said.

“The top trainer is on a month-long leave.”

“Then the second most expensive one.”

“Understood. Please wait a moment.” The receptionist said with a gentle smile.

“You may relax in the lounge.”

Qiao Sang sat on a sofa, and a uniformed pet beast soon served her coffee.

“Thank you.”

She took a sip. It was quite good.

Just then, Gangbao spoke up, That the thorny room actually seemed like a good place to boost her defense and maybe hers too.

Qiao Sang: …

Why did the coffee suddenly taste bad…?
