Chapter 6: Fire Tooth Dog
Soon, the Fire Tooth Dog disappeared under the light of the star formation.
The blank page of Qiao Sang's Beast Taming Manual in her brain domain suddenly brightened, and a lifelike Fire Tooth Dog appeared on it.
At the same time, in the blank space of the Beast Taming Manual:
【Name: Fire Tooth Dog】
【Attribute: Fire】
【Level: Novice (63/1000) +】
【Skills: Bite (Novice 73/100) +, Charge (Proficient 133/500) +, Fire Fang (Novice 1/100) +】
【Points: 0】
Several simple lines of text appeared clearly in front of Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang was dumbfounded.
Did the Beast Taming Manual explain these things?
No, it didn't, right?
She remembered that the Beast Taming Manual's function was only providing the contracts and the space for becoming pets. There was no system-like feature like this.
But Qiao Sang wasn't entirely sure about her own memories because the original owner had been a poor student with a lot of knowledge gaps.
However... this might actually be a cheat!
She had to wait until she left this place to verify everything.
Suppressing her excitement, Qiao Sang made the summoning seal.
In the next second, a white star formation appeared on the ground. Starlight converged around it, revealing an excited Fire Tooth Dog.
"tooth!"
The Fire Tooth Dog called out to Qiao Sang.
Due to the contract, Qiao Sang easily understood her pet's intention.
It wanted to try entering the Beast Taming Manual again.
Qiao Sang smiled indulgently and made the seal to send the Fire Tooth Dog back inside.
As soon as it entered, the Fire Tooth Dog started barking inside the Beast Taming Manual, wanting to come out.
Qiao Sang agreed without hesitation. As soon as the Fire Tooth Dog emerged, it happily wagged its red tail.
"tooth!"
Qiao Sang smiled and withdrew it.
The next moment, she let it out again.
The Fire Tooth Dog blinked its black eyes.
"tooth!"
Qiao Sang's smile stiffened slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then recalled it back into the Beast Taming Manual.
When the Fire Tooth Dog came out again, its eyes were full of anticipation as it looked at Qiao Sang.
"tooth!"
It wanted to play again!
Qiao Sang: "..."
When Ye Xiangting came back, she saw her daughter with a blank expression, repeatedly forming seals—sometimes summoning the Fire Tooth Dog and then withdrawing it again.
Ye Xiangting asked in confusion, "Sangsang, what are you doing?"
Qiao Sang had no expression on her face. "I'm playing."
...
...
After leaving the Hangkong Pet Facility, Qiao Sang didn't go home directly. Instead, she went to the Hanggang Beast Tamer Center.
According to the alliance regulations, all pets contracted by beast tamers had to be registered at the Beast Tamer Center within seven working days.
In this era, contracting a pet didn't mean you could just take it home and raise it. First and foremost, you needed to register your pet, or it would be an illegal immigrant.
Human residential cities strictly prohibited the entry of wild supernatural creatures. If you didn't register your pet and were caught, it would be treated as a wild supernatural creature and taken away by the inspection department.
Supernatural creatures attacking humans wasn't a rare occurrence in this era. On the contrary, there were frequent reports of humans being attacked by supernatural creatures in the news.
To ensure human safety, especially for those who hadn't awakened their brain domains, the alliance regulations prohibited the presence of wild supernatural creatures within cities.
However, supernatural creatures came in various forms, each possessing mysterious supernatural abilities. Creatures like beasts were easier to discover, but those like elves or ghosts were difficult to spot if they hid.
Hence, the alliance established an inspection department specifically to handle such matters.
From the Hangkong Pet Facility to her home, it was only a short detour to the Hanggang Beast Tamer Center.
Right at that corner, her mother left on the Faithful Ox, saying she had something to attend to and leaving the for her to use.
By the time Qiao Sang arrived at the Hanggang Beast Tamer Center, it was already 11:32 AM, and there were only 28 minutes left until the center closed for the day.
Unlike brain domain registration, where there was only one window for the process, information registration had 16 windows available.
Qiao Sang took a number and found a place to sit.
The Fat Family Dove stood quietly beside her, while the Fire Tooth Dog was cradled in her arms, its eyes darting around curiously, clearly intrigued by its surroundings.
"Number 06556, please proceed to Window 12."
"Number 06556, please proceed to Window 12."
Qiao Sang glanced at the number in her hand—06557—then at the time, 11:52 AM.
It seemed that she wouldn't be up soon in the morning.
"Number 06557, please proceed to Window 12."
It seemed like Number 06556 wasn't coming, as they directly called Qiao Sang's number.
With the Fire Tooth Dog in her arms, Qiao Sang stood up, fortunate that her turn had come.
At Window 12, she was met by a young man with a buzz cut.
"Hello, how can I assist you?" he greeted.
Qiao Sang took out an information card from her pocket and handed it over. "I'm here to register a pet."
The young man with the buzz cut took the information card and placed it on a scanner. After looking at it for a moment, he said, "Hello, according to the records, you're not a beast tamer yet, so you can't register a pet."
Qiao Sang was taken aback. "Then let's register me as a beast tamer first."
The young man asked, "Please show me your brain domain certification."
This was Qiao Sang's first time registering as a beast tamer, and she didn't know that she needed brain domain certification.
"I didn't bring it," Qiao Sang said helplessly.
Then she raised the Fire Tooth Dog in her arms. "Can't this prove that I'm a beast tamer?"
The young man glanced at the computer screen, where the time read 11:58 AM, and replied, "It can't."
"Why not?" Qiao Sang was puzzled.
"Are you done? If you didn't bring everything you need, hurry up and give up your spot," an impatient female voice came from behind.
Qiao Sang turned her head and saw a girl wearing a Cohesion Beast High School uniform standing behind her.
The girl had long, narrow drooping eyes that made people uncomfortable when looked at from top to bottom.
Seeing Qiao Sang not responding, she reached over and handed her number paper to Qiao Sang. "I'm number 06556, ahead of you. Can you let me go first? I need to change some pet information."
Qiao Sang frowned, stood up, and prepared to give way. Although the girl's attitude was unpleasant, she did have incomplete information.
The young man with the buzz cut declined the girl's request. "We will reorganize people with missed numbers."
Then he returned the information card to Qiao Sang. "Beast tamers need photographic certification to register."
It was exactly noon, and the young man turned the sign at the window in another direction, chuckling, "We're closing now; you can come back in the afternoon."
With both their tasks uncompleted, Qiao Sang didn't mind. After all, this was something she had thought of doing just because it was on the way.
However, the girl in the high school uniform's face darkened. "It's all your fault. If not for you, I would've finished everything already."
Qiao Sang got up to leave.
But a hand stopped her. "Hey, didn't you hear me talking to you?"
Qiao Sang looked bewildered. She glanced around and asked, "Were you talking to me?"
"Are there any other people here?" The girl's drooping eyes widened.
At this moment, passerby A and passerby B silently walked by.
The blank page of Qiao Sang's Beast Taming Manual in her brain domain suddenly brightened, and a lifelike Fire Tooth Dog appeared on it.
At the same time, in the blank space of the Beast Taming Manual:
