CHAPTER 815: PREMIERE

Unlimited credit card?

Gangbao quickly associated the term with a card-like object.

Lately, her beast master had been going out shopping frequently and always paid with that particular card. She had seen it clearly many times.

Looks like that was the unlimited credit card.

"Gang Slice."

Gangbao thought for 0.5 seconds, called out, and wore an expression that said, I get it now.

If they didn’t have money, this pet care oil could actually be skipped. She felt like her feathers were already in great shape, definitely good enough for a coordination contest.

Such a considerate Gangbao… Qiao Sang felt a wave of emotion, and all the pain of spending money vanished.

She said generously, “I only lost my unlimited card, I still have money for pet care oil. Just go ahead and buy it.”

Over this period, she had been stockpiling supplies and going out every night to treat terminally ill patients. Some of the patients' families even contacted her via Star Link.

Not only had she earned back all the investment money, but she’d also managed to save up quite a bit.

If used wisely, she could definitely continue pampering Yabao and the others.

"Gang Slice."

Gangbao stared at her beast master for two seconds and then nodded.

Pampering was fine, but money should still be spent wisely. At the very least, B-grade energy recovery potions shouldn’t be consumed like water anymore.

The points earned from battles outside could cover those costs just fine… Qiao Sang sipped water while glancing through the glass wall toward the direction Yabao was training.

When she saw the floor littered with empty B-grade energy recovery bottles, her heart ached again.

At that moment, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

Qiao Sang pulled it out and saw a message from Sylvia: [The movie featuring a cameo from Ghost Ring King premieres tomorrow.]

A movie premiere? Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up. She called out: “Little Treasure!”

“Xun xun…”

In the next second, Little Treasure appeared, cloaked in chilly air.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched.

“You went to fight with Lubao again?”

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure shivered and nodded.

Qiao Sang cleared her throat and got to the point.

“The movie you filmed is finally premiering tomorrow.”

“Xun xun!”

Little Treasure was stunned for a second, then visibly perked up. He flipped backward in mid-air in excitement, and all his chill seemed to vanish instantly.

“Xun xun~”

Then he floated over to his beast master and nuzzled her cheek affectionately.

He wanted to watch the movie~

Qiao Sang laughed.

“Of course. We’ll go together tomorrow, it’s your first film after all.”

“Xun xun!”

Little Treasure was overjoyed, spinning several loops mid-air.

Three seconds later, he happily went off to challenge Lubao again.

Pet care oil… movie tickets… With the good news of the movie premiere, Qiao Sang’s mood greatly improved.

She pulled out a chair at the dining table, sat down, picked up her phone, opened the shopping and ticket apps, and bought the pet oil and movie tickets respectively.

Once the purchases were complete, she silently disabled password-free payment.

Gangbao was still reasonable. But lately, Little Treasure had been sneakily using her phone to buy all kinds of nonsense. Better to turn it off…

---

3:03 AM.

In a deserted alley, dozens of ghost-type pet beasts crowded together.

On both sides of the alley, some ghost-types peeked out only their heads from the walls.

They were chattering, “Kieh kieh,” “Lian lian,” “Gui gui”, as if they were arguing.

“Xun xun!”

Suddenly, Little Treasure appeared in mid-air, wearing a black cloak, and gave a sharp cry.

The alley instantly went silent.

Dozens of ghost-type pets looked up at him with reverent, admiring eyes.

Little Treasure relished the attention.

“Gui gui?”

A deep-purple ghost pet with a single large eye called out, asking what orders the boss had today.

“Xun xun.”

Little Treasure pulled out his beast master’s phone and lit up the screen.

Displayed prominently was a movie poster titled [Monster Beast Master].

The ghost-types stared at the poster in confusion, unsure why their boss was showing them this.

“Xun xun~”

Little Treasure called out with a proud tone, explaining this was the movie he acted in, and it would premiere tomorrow.

The ghost-types were immediately stunned, then wide-eyed with awe: Boss, you’re amazing!

The alley buzzed with noise.

“Xun xun.”

Little Treasure raised a paw authoritatively, motioning for silence.

The alley went quiet again.

“Xun xun~”

“Xun xun~”

He called out twice, expressing that he hoped they would all go watch the movie tomorrow.

“Gui gui!”

The deep-purple, one-eyed ghost-type pet was the first to respond, promising full support, of course he would watch the boss’s movie!

“Kieh kieh!”

“Lian lian!”

“Meng meng!”

The other ghost-types chimed in enthusiastically.

“Xun xun~”

Little Treasure, pleased with their reaction, pulled out the phone again and said he would now buy them movie tickets.

The ghost-types' eyes lit up with anticipation.

They had never had movie tickets before.

[Please enter payment password.]

Staring at the six blank spaces below the message on the screen, Little Treasure paused.

Then, with a solemn face, he turned off the phone and let out two low calls.

“Xun xun.”

“Xun xun.”

He thought for a moment, this was a good training opportunity. Tomorrow, when you all go to the theater, make sure not to be discovered by humans.

“Gui gui!”

The deep-purple ghost pet responded first again, promising to complete the mission and not let the boss down!

“Kieh kieh!”

“Lian lian!”

“Meng meng!”

The rest refused to be left behind, instantly forgetting about the tickets and yelling their commitment to succeed.

“Xun xun~”

Little Treasure looked at the scene in front of him, then carefully managed his expression to avoid bursting into laughter.

---

The Next Morning.

When Qiao Sang woke up, she saw Little Treasure staring at her with a pitiful look.

“What’s wrong?” She asked while yawning.

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure pointed at the charging phone on the bedside table and complained that now everything needs a password to buy.

Qiao Sang narrowed her eyes and said with a dangerous tone, “You were using my phone last night?”

“Xun xun!”

Little Treasure froze and shook his head hard. Nope, not me.

Qiao Sang silently stared at him.

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure quickly gave in, looking guilty.

He had gotten too excited about the movie premiere and couldn’t help showing off to his underlings.

“What were you trying to buy?” Qiao Sang didn’t scold him. She picked up the phone and opened the shopping app.

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure sighed. He had wanted to buy movie tickets for his little ghost bros.

Qiao Sang: …

She put the phone down and asked to confirm: “You mean those wild ghost-type underlings you mentioned before?”

“Xun xun~”

Little Treasure nodded.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched. She explained, “Wild pet beasts don’t have ID wristbands. Even if you buy them tickets, they can’t get into the theater.”

“Xun xun...”

Little Treasure froze for a moment, sighed inwardly for 0.1 seconds on behalf of his little bros… Then quickly cheered up.

Those little bros had ways to get into a movie theater.

---

7:05 PM.

Movie Theater.

Screening Hall.

Audience members trickled in one after another, looking for their seats.

Last row.

“Xun xun...”

Little Treasure stared nervously at the big screen.

“Yap.”

Yabao sensed his younger brother’s nervous energy and patted Little Treasure’s shoulder, reassuring him not to worry.

“When does Little Treasure appear?” Liu Yao asked.

“Not too sure.” Qiao Sang replied after thinking.

“But it should be near the beginning.”

She remembered the director saying Little Treasure had a scene before the protagonist became a beast master.

“Didn’t think the movie would premiere before you left Chaosu Star.” Pirite remarked.

“I didn’t think so either.” Qiao Sang smiled.

“Dee dee.” Adinishi’s voice drifted from the air, indicating the movie was about to begin.

All the lights in the screening hall suddenly went dark.

Everyone quieted down immediately.

At that moment, Little Treasure felt like he could hear his own racing heartbeat.

But as time passed, his expression slowly turned to disappointment.

Why wasn’t his scene coming yet...

Then, his beast master’s voice sounded: “Look!”

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure instantly understood, and his heartbeat sped up again.

On the big screen, the lost protagonist seemed to hear something and slowly looked up.

A familiar figure floated past, undeniably recognizable. As he passed the protagonist, he turned his head, winked flirtatiously, and then drifted off leisurely.

The protagonist remained standing, eyes shining with awe as they watched the gray-gold figure disappear.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure got so excited seeing his scene that he accidentally let out a cry, but quickly clamped his paws over his mouth.

Just as he did, strange noises began to echo in the theater...

“Kiehh kiehh kiehh…”

“Meng meng meng…”

“Gui gui gui!”

Startled audience members shouted: “What was that?!”

“Sounds like ghost-type pet laughter?”

“Whose ghost pet is invisible? That’s creepy!”

“Could it be a wild ghost pet?”

“Don’t scare me, there were multiple types of ghost pet cries just now…”

The sudden outburst of ghostly noises startled the crowd so much that no one could focus on the movie anymore.

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure looked at the audience, most had stood up and stopped watching, and his face showed helplessness.

Qiao Sang turned to see Little Treasure’s expression, recalled what he said that morning about tickets and little bros, and instantly understood.

“Lubao, healing soundwave.” Qiao Sang whispered.

“Lu ai~ Lu ai~ Lu ai lu ai~ Lu ai~”

Without hesitation, Lubao started to sing.

Invisible waves of sound spread out.

The audience gradually calmed down, their emotions soothed, and they began to analyze rationally: Although there were several ghost-type cries, none of them had attacked or caused chaos for quite a while now. Most likely they were contracted pets who were just invisible.

With this in mind, the audience slowly sat down again and resumed watching the movie.

“Xun xun…”

Seeing this, Little Treasure breathed a sigh of relief.

Pirite, observing all this, suddenly said, “Your Ghost Ring King doesn’t seem very affected by the healing soundwave anymore.”

Qiao Sang replied calmly, “Oh really.”

Pirite: …

---

One hour later.

The group exited the theater.

“Xun xun~”

“Xun xun~”

Little Treasure floated around joyfully in mid-air.

“Hey! Look! Doesn’t that pet look just like the one that showed up in the movie?” A passerby coming out of the theater pointed excitedly at Little Treasure.

“Xun xun…”

That one comment instantly triggered Little Treasure’s celebrity mode. He removed his ring and swiftly pulled out a black cloak, tossing it stylishly over his back.

“Little Treasure did pretty well, definitely has talent for acting.” Liu Yao complimented as he walked ahead.

Only two scenes… Pirite held back his words. Then he seemed to remember something and said, “You guys head back first. I’ll take Qiao Sang to the Beast Taming Center to accept a task.”

“Alright.” Liu Yao nodded, then looked up at the air expectantly.

“Want to come with me?”

“Dee.”

Adinishi’s voice replied from the air.

“Sky.”

The Sky Bat translated.

Liu Yao’s tone turned disappointed.

“Guess I’ll head off then.”

With that, he turned and left.

Gangbao slowly enlarged her form.

“What kind of task is it?” Qiao Sang asked, climbing onto Gangbao’s back.

Yabao was usually reluctant to carry anyone besides Qiao Sang, but Gangbao didn’t seem to care. Over the past month, she had already taken Pirite with her to the Beast Taming Center multiple times.

Pirite climbed up smoothly and said: “Someone’s looking for a fire-type pet with high-temperature skills to melt a piece of Flame Ink Gold. The reward is 10 grams of it. That stuff’s a main ingredient in some rare fire-type potions, and you’ve got Fire Qilu, you’ll need it eventually.”

Qiao Sang’s unlimited card had just expired, and she had zero resistance to rare materials that didn’t require money. She immediately said seriously,

“We better hurry. If someone else takes the task first, that’d be bad. Gangbao!”

“Gang Slice.”

Gangbao called out, flapped her wings hard, and soared quickly into the sky.

“Xun xun!”

Still mid-pose, Little Treasure noticed and quickly activated his blue-glowing eyes, flying up to follow.

---

Half an hour later.

Qiao Sang exited the Beast Taming Center, puzzled.

“Why doesn’t this task have a participant limit?”

“Because Flame Ink Gold’s melting point is very high,” Pirite explained.

“I’m guessing several teams have tried and failed, so they lifted the limit.”

Qiao Sang suddenly understood.

“No wonder you waited until after the movie to tell me.”

Pirite smiled.

“This was the Ghost Ring King’s first movie. I figured even if you missed the task, you’d go watch the film first. That’s why I didn’t mention it earlier.”

“Xun xun…”

Hearing this, Little Treasure looked over with deep emotion.

No, that was the old me. The current me, without an unlimited card, really wants to grab missions like these… Qiao Sang, feeling the little guy’s gaze, swallowed those thoughts and smiled, “You know me well.”

“Xun xun~”

Little Treasure floated over, happily nuzzling his beast master’s head.

Pirite glanced at his watch and said, “It’s not too late, if you head out now, you can go straight to the task location.”
