Chapter 328: Chapter 328
"Oh, didn’t you promise me not to harm humans?" Qian Qi quickly covered the back of her head. "Verbal abuse is also harm!"
"He was so close to me, with such a greedy look on his face, he might be thinking of stealing me!" the Emperor Python King righteously said. "You have no idea how popular I am!"
"That’s right, the king is correct!"
"This person must harbor ill intentions!"
"Is our king something that such low-level human clan members can covet and look directly at?"
Other emperor pythons nodded in agreement, standing up for the wronged Emperor Python King.
The security guard was dumbfounded.
A bunch of A-level? A bunch of talking A-level Contracted Beasts? He must still be dreaming, right?
The security guard pinched his face hard, only feeling pain, and when he came to his senses, Qian Qi had already disappeared into the Guardian Beast Hall.
The hall was much warmer than outside, with warm air conditioning blowing down. Qian Qi looked around, not intending to find Yan Wuji, but instead wandered around on her own.
Besides several consultation counters, the first-floor lobby of the Beast Taming Association had a refreshment waiting area, a contracted beast examination room, and a badge pickup area. As for the second floor, just as she approached the elevator, she was stopped by staff reminding her that without an advanced Beast Taming Badge, she couldn’t go to other floors.
From the staff, Qian Qi learned that the floor access rights differed according to the level of the Beast Taming Badge, and it seemed the higher the floor, the more services were provided. As for what services were available, the staff said she would know once she got an advanced badge.
So, Qian Qi had to go to a consultation counter to inquire about how to get a Beast Taming Badge.
First, register personal information at the front desk, then take the contracted beast to the contracted beast examination room to confirm the species and level. After filling out the contracted beast information report, you can go to the badge pickup area to get the corresponding badge.
After that, you can apply online for various Beast Master benefits, like housing qualifications, contracted beast fostering services, etc.
Last night, Qian Qi healed her face using the little kidney of Little Poison, well, actually it was a secretion from the kidney, applied to her face with hemostatic medicine that healed her face. Hence, she was now applying for the Beast Taming Badge as "Qian Qi."
When applying for a Beast Taming Badge, you must use your real identity. After filling in her identity record, the front desk staff handed her a number plate. "Beast Master, your contracted beast is of toxic nature, please go straight to the 8th contracted beast examination room on the right."
"Alright, thank you." Qian Qi squeezed the number plate, feeling like she was visiting a hospital, and following the staff’s instructions, she found the 8th contracted beast examination room.
A small front desk was in the examination room, with a male and female staff member in work clothes sitting behind a computer. Upon seeing Qian Qi, the female staff member stood up with a smile, "Hello, Beast Master, we’ve already received your information, please follow me."
With that, she led Qian Qi to the interior examination room.
Walking beside Qian Qi, the female staff member couldn’t help but notice Qian Qi’s strange "hairstyle." As her gaze swept over those Poisonous Emperor Pythons, she reminded, "Beast Master, according to our records, this is your first time applying for a Beast Taming Badge. Following procedure, we need each Contracted Beast to enter the examination room in sequence for testing."
"Oh, okay." Qian Qi nodded, followed her to the examination room entrance, and placed the Poisonous Venomous Python into the single examination room, then Qian Qi was led to another room next door, from where she could see inside the examination room through specially made glass.
Qian Qi sized up the examination room, seeing some mock-ups for testing contracted beast skills inside. Those mock-ups and the surrounding walls bore many marks of contracted beast attacks.
The staff member who led Qian Qi in left, and another female examination officer took over. She sat sideways beside a light brain on a work desk, instructing Qian Qi, "Beast Master, please have your Contracted Beast release its skills targeting the mock-up, with a smaller range. I’ll preliminarily determine the Contracted Beast’s level based on the number and intensity of skills."
Qian Qi connected with the Poisonous Venomous Python, and Little Poison received the command, swinging its tail to release a poison gas at the mock-up. The white mock-up turned black instantly, followed by a "beep beep" coming from the examination officer’s light brain. Updates are released by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Oh my, your Contracted Beast’s toxicity is no small thing," the examination officer exclaimed at the data from the mock-up transmitted on the light brain. "Luckily, the mock-up held up and didn’t exceed the upper limit... or else the detecting equipment inside would be broken."
If it broke, applying for a new toxicity detection mock-up would be much more cumbersome than for other mock-ups, and the examination officer didn’t want extra work.
Unfortunately, just as she finished speaking, the Poisonous Venomous Python sprayed another fountain-like black corrosive venom, directly corroding the mock-up into a puddle of black water.
Examination officer: ...?
The examination officer reacted swiftly, leaping over the light brain desk and rushing towards the glass, wanting to shout something but still a step too late, as the Poisonous Venomous Python coiled its body around another mock-up’s neck, directly twisting the second mock-up’s head off.
The mock-up head traced a gorgeous curve in the air and finally smashed heavily against the glass, right in the examination officer’s forehead, the smile on the mock-up face incredibly fitting, hilariously so.
The examination officer knelt down sharply, crying out, "Stop stop stop—no more, please!"
My mock-up—! Gosh, two of them are gone! Reapplying for them is damn troublesome!!!
"Oh..." Seeing such a strong reaction from the examination officer, Qian Qi quickly had Little Poison stop, kindly asking, "Is there a problem?"
"Your, your, your Contracted Beast, is it B-level?" The examination officer glanced at Qian Qi in slight horror. These mock-ups were made of special materials, and it was impossible for Contracted Beasts below B-level to break them!
And now... A bunch of B-levels on Qian Qi’s head!!!
Is she some kind of monster?!
"Please hold on! Could you turn your head? The more B-level Contracted Beasts you have, the more your Beast Master level will rise. I need to count your B-level Contracted Beasts to confirm if you’ve reached A-level standards..."
Qian Qi was also curious about how many B-level Contracted Beasts it takes to become an A-level Beastmaster, so she turned her head for the examination officer to count.
The more the examination officer counted, the more astounded she became. She gasped, and finally said incredulously, "A total of 24..."
B-level little snakes, did she rob someone’s snake nest and steal all their snake cubs?
Oh my, she must be the luckiest person in history!
"You have reached the level of an A-level Beastmaster. Please wait a moment, and a dedicated manager will provide you with more attentive and professional services next!" the examination officer said, immediately turning to find her superior to report this matter.
