Thank you <b>@Lemazing </b>and <b>@Absolute Zero </b>for your donations in Ko-fi.??
The male staff member with wavy hair immediately put down his phone and greeted her with a professional smile.
"Your information card, please."
Qiao Sang handed over her card.
He ced it on the scanner without looking up.
"What updates do you need for your pet beast?"
"My me Hound evolved. I need to update its information." Qiao Sang replied.Unlike before, she didn’t summon her pet beast immediately. Advanced pet beasts were typically medium torge-sized. While it wasn’t an issue during off-peak hours, summoning such arge creature in a crowded hall could disrupt order.
To maintain order, the Beast Center had strict rules: Pet beasts over three meters tall could not be summoned in the main hall. If an update involved verifying advanced-level beasts, a designated room was required.
The female staff member with a bun perked up, her ears catching the word <i>me Hound</i>. She snapped her head up, staring wide-eyed at the girl standing outside the window.
<i>What did she just say? Updating me Hound’s information?!</i>
The wavy-haired staff member looked up simultaneously, their expressions perfectly synchronized in disbelief.
Qiao Sang remainedposed, she was used to this reaction by now.
<i>me Hound? Evolved? Impossible!</i>
The male staff member’s pupils constricted, his mind racing with shock and confusion. He quickly nced at theputer screen disying the information.
<i>Whoa! It really is a me Hound!</i>
"Please follow me!" The male staff member''s eyes lit up as he stood abruptly, urgency evident in his tone.
"Sure." Qiao Sang nodded, following him to the first room at the end of the left corridor on the ground floor.

<i>What luck! The Beastmaster of the me Hound came here! Thank goodness I didn’t take the day off! </i>The female staff member resisted the urge to cheer and followed them, her excitement bubbling over. <i>But wait... the me Hound evolved?! Isn’t she just a high school student?</i>
---
“Yap!”
Twenty minutester, Yabao, her evolved ze Star Canine, finally let out an exasperated bark, protesting the two hands that had been prodding him incessantly. ?
Only then did the two staff members reluctantly stop touching him.
"What’s the name of me Hound’s evolved form?" The male staff member asked.
ording to the league’s regtions, the first person to raise a new evolution had the right to name it.
"zing Star Canine." Qiao Sang replied.
"ze as in fire, and star as in the night sky."
“That’s such a beautiful name!” The female staff member eximed with genuine admiration.
"You have a real talent for naming!"
“Agreed. I could nevere up with something that good.” The male staff member chimed in.
<i>Well, this name wasn’t actually my idea, it’s from the system, but I can see why people love hearingpliments</i>, Qiao Sang thought, smiling bashfully.
"You tter me."
Once they were done buttering her up, the female staff member hesitated for a moment before asking cautiously, “Could I get an autograph?”
“I want one too!” The male staff member quickly added.
<i>Wow, people already want my autograph? I’m not used to this</i>, Qiao Sang thought, scratching her head, a bit shy.
"Alright."
The two staff members were ted.
“Wait for me! I’ll grab ink and paper!” The female staff member dashed off.
“Get me some paper too!” The male staff member called after her.
<i>Ink?</i> Qiao Sang was momentarily confused. <i>Something felt off.</i>
---
Three minutester.
The female staff member returned, carrying a huge tray of blue ink and a shirt.
"I couldn’t find paper big enough for zing Star Canine’s pawprints, so I figured it could sign my shirt instead!"
She ced the items on the floor, looking expectantly at Yabao.
“…”
<i>Oh. So the autograph is for Yabao…</i> Qiao Sang thought, utterly speechless.

After leaving the Beast Center, Qiao Sang remembered the diamond gloves for her Littl Treasure and searched for thergest jewelry store in Kainan City on her phone. The store was about 11 kilometers away.
Instead of taking a taxi, she erged the map on her phone and held it up to Little Treasure.
“Can you teleport us there?”
Over the past two days, Qiao Sang had noticed a ring w in her pet’s spatial shift ability: It had terrible uracy. If the destination was visible, he could teleport just fine. But if the coordinates required mental visualization, he always missed the mark.
Last night, she had equipped her pet with a dual-direction tracker ne from her stash of tools, ensuring she wouldn’t have to report him as lost.
Although spatial shift was a high-level skill, she was willing to keep training him asionally. <i>Not that I want to experience the thrill of waking up one minute before ss and teleporting straight to school or anything…</i>
“Xun~” Little Treasure inspected the map confidently and nodded, indicating he could do it.
Momentster, his paw touched Qiao Sang, and the world went dark.
When her vision returned, she found herself beside an indoor swimming pool, surrounded by people in bikinis and swim trunks, all staring at her in surprise.
<i>As expected, wrong location again…</i> Maintaining herposure, Qiao Sang poked Little Treasure’s cheek.
“Xun…” He looked embarrassed, squeaking an apology.
---
Just as Little Treasure prepared to try again, Qiao Sang’s surroundings shifted once more. This time, she found herself standing in the middle of a busy street as cars zoomed toward her, horns ring.
“!!”
Heart pounding, Qiao Sang barely had time to gasp before her surroundings shifted again. When she opened her eyes, she was in a minimally decorated room.
She let out a deep breath, leaning against the wall. <i>I’m alive…</i>
“Xun!” Little Treasure chirped, determined to get it right next time.
Before he could act, Qiao Sang grabbed his paw.
“Give me a moment…”
<i>Who wouldn’t need a moment to recover after almost getting run over?</i>
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening reached her ears, followed by approaching footsteps.
Someone was back.
Before she couldmand Little Treasure to teleport again, a man’s irritated voice came from outside the door:
“Who said Qiao Sang was bound to lose? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have arranged for her to face Ruan Yunwen! Now Shengshui High is stealing all the spotlight!”
