CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: THAT DAY, ALL BEAST MASTERS WERE SLAPPED

"Student, can your Old Liu catch a frisbee?" Qian Qi turned and asked Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng shook his head repeatedly, "No, I’ve tried training him many times, and even showed him videos. He simply doesn’t understand."

So far, Old Liu can only grasp the attack commands he says, beyond that, he’s clueless.

Oh wait, he can also shout for food on time.

"I see..." Qian Qi twisted her head, realizing there was nothing handy nearby, so she asked Liu Cheng again, "Classmate, can I borrow your jacket?"

"Huh?" Liu Cheng didn’t understand what she wanted to do. He looked at his jacket and then at Qian Qi’s, puzzled, "Don’t you have one?"

Qian Qi glanced down at her leather jacket that cost a hefty 27 yuan and 5.5 cents, then assumed a mysterious expression, "Ah, you don’t understand. It must be the contractor’s clothes, you see."

"What are you trying to do?" Liu Cheng was totally confused, as were the few other Beast Master students, all showing puzzled looks.

"Liu Cheng, hurry up and give it to her!" Liu Cheng wasn’t anxious, but the onlooking students from the Beast Taming Department were, urging repeatedly, "Let’s see what Qian Qi is up to this time!"

For some reason, possibly because of Qian Qi’s previous contest with the D-level Contracted Beast, students from the Beast Taming Department always felt an indescribable anticipation towards Qian Qi.

They were eager to see what surprising antics Qian Qi would pull off this time.

Unable to withstand the urging of so many people around, Liu Cheng reluctantly handed his jacket to Qian Qi.

Qian Qi grabbed it and turned it into a ball, and the next second, she tossed it out.

Liu Cheng: ???

Qian Qi patted Old Liu’s backside and instructed, "Old Liu, go! Fetch it back!"

Old Liu tilted his head and glanced at Qian Qi.

Liu Cheng realized what Qian Qi wanted to try and shook his head again, advising her to abandon the thought, "Don’t bother. It won’t fetch it. A Flame Dog is still a Magic Beast, it won’t fetch like a dog. They think it’s beneath them."

"Yeah, Magic Beasts are hard to train. Mine’s been around for two years, and it still poops on the sofa, refusing to use the litter box!"

"Boss, you should just give up. You might have a knack for handling Magic Plants, but training Magic Beasts is definitely not your thing!"

Qian Qi ignored their comments, she rubbed her chin thinking about something. After a moment, she stood before "Old Liu," reached out and gave its skull a quick ’crack’.

Then, she pointed to the thrown jacket, "Old Liu, fetch the jacket back!"

Old Liu continued to tilt its head, its eyes fixated straight on Qian Qi.

"See, I told you it wouldn’t work." Liu Cheng spread his hands, resigned, "Why don’t you just accept it? Magic Beasts are not like dogs, they’re proud creatures. They wouldn’t do things meant for..."

The next moment, he saw his proud Old Liu make a swift dart forward, gleefully fetching the jacket back and placing it in front of Qian Qi.

Not only that, it even showed an expression seeking praise, lowering its head and nudging Qian Qi’s little hand.

Liu Cheng: !!!

I’m so envious! Really envious!

Back when I bought Fire Qilin Fruit, you weren’t this obedient!

Now being all cuddly with a stranger? Don’t forget how I feed you daily and clean up after you!

Liu Cheng’s mood became extremely gloomy. He truly didn’t understand why when Qian Qi asks Old Liu to fetch the jacket, it does so obediently, yet when he asks Old Liu to fetch a frisbee, it refuses?

Could it be a matter of scent?

But the frisbee should have his scent too!

The other Beast Master students, seeing Old Liu actually fetch the jacket back, were also wide-eyed in disbelief.

"What’s going on? How come Old Liu’s suddenly so obedient?"

"Didn’t Qian Qi just mention it requires the contractor’s scent?"

"Does throwing our jackets work for training too?"

Immediately, a student tried it, gathering his jacket into a ball then tossing it out, then he patted his own Contracted Beast’s butt, "Go, fetch it back!"

That Contracted Beast glanced coolly at its contractor, lifted its paw, and gave him a big slap.

Know your limits! This beast’s rear isn’t for you to pat!

Others followed suit, only to get slapped around.

"What’s happening? Why isn’t it working?"

"The same operation, yet why can’t we do it?"

The Contracted Beasts did not fetch the tossed jackets, leaving the Beast Master students puzzled.

They carefully recalled what they missed and suddenly realized.

Just now Qian Qi seemed to give the Flame Dog’s neck a ’crack’?

That’s it!

That ’crack’ must be a kind of switch!

A few Beast Master students were eager to try. They reached out, held their Contracted Beast’s neck, then mimicked Qian Qi’s move, attempting to ’crack’ their heads.

Then the next second, their own Contracted Beast bit their arms.

The contractors let out screams of agony.

This isn’t right!

Qian Qi clearly just did this!

Qian Qi laughed at the scene, then turned to stroke Old Liu’s head, giving it a full-body massage that ’clicked’ through its joints.

With a few ’crack’ sounds, Old Liu felt as if its entire body became lighter, its speed and agility attributes even directly lifted to Quasi-E-level.

It couldn’t help but howl excitedly, raising all four limbs slightly and began running along the outer circle of Beast Square.

The speed, unbelievably, was at least three times faster than Ah Tu in the earlier race!

A student saw this and nearly thought Liu Cheng gave Old Liu extra training, exclaiming, "Whoa, Liu Cheng, when did Old Liu become so fast?"

Liu Cheng was also astonished. He knew well the speed limits of his Contracted Beast, and it couldn’t possibly achieve such speed.

Unless...

He couldn’t help but glance at Qian Qi.

Could it be her massage antics that caused this?

But wasn’t that just simple massage?

The Beast Taming Teacher who witnessed everything, looked at Qian Qi with a calm expression, couldn’t help but ask again, "Student, what on earth is happening?"

It was unknown how many times he’d asked this today, as the lesson had completely deviated from his expectations, shocking him tremendously.

Qian Qi pondered for two seconds, but the Beast Taming Teacher interrupted her, "Forget it, it’s better if you don’t speak."

The words you say, I don’t believe half a word of it.

Qian Qi: "..."

Sigh, trust among people is gone.

"Well, Boss Qian Qi..." Liu Cheng rubbed his hands, humbly asking, "How did you do it? Why is the Flame Dog so fond of you?"

He couldn’t comprehend it after pondering, admitting he felt foolish, thus deciding to ask Qian Qi.

Qian Qi finally could ponder for two seconds, "The precise method, I’ll release the guide in the campus forum tonight at 12:00. You’re welcome to watch."

Liu Cheng and the others heard this and couldn’t help but get excited, nodding repeatedly, their eyes looking at Qian Qi as if she were a Savior, "Please don’t be late, Boss! We’re all waiting for you!"

Qian Qi patted her chest, "Rest assured! I won’t be late!"

...

After this practical lesson ended, the fact that Qian Qi was favored by the Flame Dog and successfully tamed it quickly went viral on the campus forum.

It was said that, on that afternoon, all Beast Masters in the school got slapped.

Then, somehow an industrious student actually recorded the scene of Qian Qi giving the Contracted Beast a massage and uploaded it to the forum, causing a scramble to watch.

[—Did you guys notice that after Boss Qian Qi gave it a massage, it seemed to have strengthened?]

[—Seems like it, could it be some special technique?]

[—Replying above, insider info, heard that Boss Qian Qi will reveal a guide on how to attract a Flame Dog tonight at 12:00.]

[—Whoa, really? Doesn’t that mean contracting a Flame Dog will be easy in the future?]

[—No wonder Boss Qian Qi! Stalking the post tonight! Looking forward to a one-person-one-dog future!]

All the students from the Beast Taming Department were so excited about Qian Qi’s upcoming guide release that they couldn’t sleep, patiently waiting on the campus forum to learn how to win the Flame Dog’s affection.

And only returning late at night from the back mountain, Qian Qi sat leisurely on her bed and opened the Light Brain.

She rubbed her little hands together.

Oh~ my cute, charming, and prosperous Beast Taming Department students~

You must be impatient~

Want to know how to win over a Flame Dog?

Simple!

Qian Qi’s fingers danced on the Light Brain, her plain little face gradually forming a cunning and sly grin.
