It has already started for half a year... Qiao Sang began to think subconsciously.
She made a special search before the plane took off. The destination was Changqing City, which is located in Mutian Province in the Hollow Area. Mutian Province has a total of 11 prefecture-level cities.
It takes half a year to complete 11 assessments, which means that on average it takes about 16 days to complete one assessment. Excluding the time on the road, it takes almost half a month to complete an assessment for a prefecture-level city.
Well, it shouldn't be a big problem... Qiao Sang put away his ID card and beast control badge, thanked him, and turned to leave.
His calm expression and chic turn instantly aroused an excited discussion among the two staff members.
"Did you see it?"
"I saw!"
"Oh my god, there are three general-level pet beasts before I'm even 18 years old. This is the first time I've seen them!"
"Just now, when I said I only had half a year, look at her dismissive look. She didn't seem to think this time was too short at all. She felt so confident."
"If I have such strength at her age, I will definitely be more confident than her."
"Do you think we will see her in this year's regional competition?"
"It's hard to say. If she signed up for the assessment within the first month of registration, there would definitely be no problem. But now it's only half a year, so it's hard to say. As you know, the assessments in some cities are particularly disgusting.
Man, a beast control blogger I follow posted a video not long ago, saying that the examiner in Tianti City asked him to get 10 pounds of wood gland grass. One or two of these things cost 10,000 alliance coins. If you don’t buy it, you will have to buy it.
Go to Secret Realm No. 39 to pick. The Secret Realm No. 39 is only open for one month a year. When he took this task, the Secret Realm happened to be open during the opening period, but there was only one day left, so the examiner was clearly making things difficult for him."
"What you are talking about is quite simple. At least it can be done with money. I know one..." The staff at window 19 was about to share gossip.
At this time, the people standing at the window waiting to handle business couldn't help but asked: "Are you done talking?"
The staff quickly got back to work and showed a standard smile:
"Hello, what business do I need to handle?"
…
Beast Control Center.
Third floor.
At the door of the examiner's office, which is responsible for assessment matters, Qiao Sang knocked twice.
The office of the examiner responsible for the assessment in each prefecture-level city is at the animal control center of each city. There is no need to make an appointment in advance, you can just come directly to the door. As long as it is during working hours, the examiner is basically there.
"Please come in." The person inside said.
Qiao Sang pushed open the door and saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with a big belly and no memory.
"Hello, I am a beast master who has signed up for this year's regional competition. I am here to take over the assessment task." Qiao Sang stepped forward, handed over his ID card, and got straight to the point.
Why does he still look like a child... The middle-aged man was shocked by the childish appearance of the black-haired girl in front of him.
You should know that the upper limit of age for participating in regional competitions is 40 years old. People in their 20s are considered young when they come for the assessment. But this is the first time he has seen such a young person since he became an examiner.
He took the ID card and verified his identity.
"Hiss..." The middle-aged man looked at the computer screen and remained silent for more than ten seconds to digest the somewhat unbelievable information in front of him.
I am the examiner, be steady, be steady... He took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and began to look for suitable tasks among the assessment tasks.
The assessment tasks in each city are not actually questions set by the examiner on their own whim. Instead, the government, major institutions and centers list the matters to be done, or select the appropriate ones from the tasks that have not been taken up for a long time.
The beast master who participated in the regional competition is completed.
If there is something urgent that needs to be handled, it will be prioritized as an assessment task.
If not, it depends on the examiner’s own consideration.
The middle-aged man carefully browsed the assessment tasks, and finally his eyes fell on a certain line. He picked up the ID card, handed it back to Qiao Sang, and said:
"Recently, it has been discovered that props have been stolen from one of the warehouses of our city's pet animal prop center. You can help the police assist in the investigation, or act alone. No matter which way, as long as you catch the thief, your assessment will be completed."
"Later, I will send the contact information of the person in charge of the warehouse and the police officer responsible for this case to the backend of your Beast Control Center app. You can contact them directly then."
Catch the thief... Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and asked:
"How long has this case been taking place?"
If someone asked this, the middle-aged man would definitely answer directly and ruthlessly: Wouldn't you ask the person in charge and the police officer yourself?
But the person who asked this question was a peerless genius who owned three general-level pet beasts before he turned 18.
Without thinking, he looked down at the computer screen to check the detailed information.
After about half a minute, the middle-aged man raised his head and said:
"The first theft occurred a month ago, and it happened twice more during that period. The registration for this task was only carried out a week ago, and there is no record after that. However, the fact that this assessment task is still there means that the thief has not been caught yet."
He told everything he knew and analyzed it.
Who said that the examiner is difficult to deal with? Isn't this a good speech... Qiao Sang nodded:
"I see."
When she left the office and came to the first floor, she saw Teacher Michaela at a glance.
"Are you ready to sign up?" Yabao's flame wings were too conspicuous, and Michaela noticed Qiao Sang through Yabao at a glance, and stepped forward and asked.
"Okay." Qiao Sang nodded.
"What about the assessment tasks?" Michaela asked.
"I took it too." Qiao Sang said, "I went to catch the thief."
After hearing this, Michaela said calmly: "This kind of task will be issued as an assessment, which means that the police here have not caught the thief yet. This thief should have some ability."
After a pause, she changed the topic and thoughtfully said:
"We have just arrived in Dragon Kingdom. You should have a good rest and go back to the mission tomorrow."
She rushed over as soon as she got off the plane, registered and took the assessment tasks. She didn't want to tire out this genius who would take who knows how many years to meet.
"I won't rest." Qiao Sang said seriously: "There is only half a year until the start of the regional competition. I am already half a year later than others. I have to hurry up and complete the task."
Michaela was silent for a moment, her tone softened a lot, and she dissuaded:
"You are still in the developmental stage, so rest is important."
Qiao Sang still looked serious:
"It's okay, my Lubao will bring healing light."
Michaela: "..."
…
5:22 pm.
High in the air.
Qiao Sang sat on Ya Bao and headed to the props warehouse.
Just now, she contacted the person in charge of the warehouse, who sent her the address.
Qiao Sang took his mobile phone and began to contact the police officer in charge of the case.
After two beeps, the phone was connected, and a man's voice came from the speaker:
"Who?"
"Hello, I took over the assessment task of theft in the warehouse of the Prop Center at the Beast Control Center. I would like to meet you and get a general understanding of the details of the case." Qiao Sang said.
"Don't even look at what time it is." The man said impatiently, "I'm going to get off work soon. If you want to know more about the case, please contact me tomorrow when I get to work."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Qiao Sang: "..."
With such inactivity in handling the case, no wonder this case appeared in the assessment task... Qiao Sang couldn't help complaining in his heart, touched Yabao's hair and said:
"It seems we can only rely on ourselves tonight."
"Tooth!"
Yabao screamed excitedly and sped up his running speed.
…
Changqing City, suburbs.
Half an hour later, Qiao Sang arrived at the props warehouse.
There are many warehouses in the Pet Beast Prop Center, and the warehouse where the incident occurred is located in a relatively remote suburb.
When Qiao Sang got off Ya Bao, he saw staff members wearing work uniforms and a crocodile-like bipedal beast also wearing work uniforms, waiting at the door.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Qiao?" When the staff saw Yabao's powerful and gorgeous appearance, they suddenly felt calm and ignored Qiao Sang's slightly childish appearance and walked over quickly.
"It's me." Qiao Sang didn't intend to waste time and went straight to the point: "I need to know when was the last time a theft occurred in the warehouse."
"It was 9:05 last night." The staff member said while leading the way into the warehouse: "I happened to be on duty last night, but I didn't hear any movement inside, and the surveillance camera didn't capture any trace of anyone or the pet animal.
.”
"Then how do you know it was stolen at nine-five?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Because I checked the surveillance later and found that the things were still there at 9:04, but they were gone at 9:55," the staff member answered clearly.
Soon, the two of them came to a shelf and stood in front of it.
The staff member pointed to an empty spot: "That's it."
As he spoke, he couldn't help complaining: "We reported the case a month ago, but the warehouse here is full of defective props. People at the headquarters don't pay attention to it, and neither does the police..."
As the staff narrated, Qiao Sang picked up Ya Bao, who had become smaller, and placed him in front of an empty shelf.
"Tooth."
Yabao closed his eyes and placed his paw on an empty spot.
The staff member was stunned for a moment and asked: "Are you going to let your pet smell the smell of the thieves left here?"
Yabao put his paws on it, not his nose... Qiao Sang did not answer him, but closed his eyes simultaneously with Yabao.
During the month on the starship, Yabao could not train skills related to attack power. He could only train skills such as meditation and tactile power. He had successfully trained his tactile power to the secret level on the way here.
It's easy to look back at what happened last night.
When the staff saw this, they understood what skills the unknown pet animal was performing, and immediately closed their mouths without disturbing him again.
The scene in front of me changed. The shelf at this location was no longer empty, but instead placed a purple cylinder prop.
Then, the cylinder prop suddenly moved.
Then, it disappeared.
Qiao Sang and Ya Bao opened their eyes at the same time.
"Did you find anything?" the staff member asked quickly.
"It should be a ghost beast." Qiao Sang said.
The staff couldn't figure it out: "The ghost beast can be invisible, but how does it make the props disappear all of a sudden?"
You actually don't even know this... Qiao Sang was a little surprised, and suddenly understood how the vice-principal viewed his seemingly stupid questions.
Soon, she realized that since she became a beast master, she had always dealt with the best among her peers. After arriving at the Super Pleiades, the people around her were also geniuses several years older than her.
In terms of knowledge, he is no longer on the same level as an ordinary beastmaster.
I have lived in that environment for a long time, so I naturally don't feel any problems. I even feel that I don't study enough every day, but in fact, I have accumulated a lot of knowledge that ordinary beast masters never have.
"If the invisibility property of a ghost-type pet reaches B level, it can make all objects it comes into contact with invisible." Qiao Sang explained.
The staff and the crocodile pet animals both showed expressions of realization.
"But the ghost beast can pass through walls and become invisible. We can't deal with it at all. I'd better contact the police to tell them the news and ask them to send someone over." The staff member took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the police.
Number.
Qiao Sang remembered the attitude of the policeman in charge of this case and said:
"Let's contact you again tomorrow morning. Right now we only know that it's a ghost beast, and there's no sign of it yet. The police won't come here just because they know the beast's attributes. I'll investigate it myself."
The staff put down their mobile phones: "How are you going to check?"
Qiao Sang smiled slightly: "As long as it is confirmed that it is a ghost beast and it was indeed here last night, the next step will be simple."
After speaking, she looked at the staff:
"Where is the blind spot for your surveillance on the wall?"
The ghost-type pets must go through the wall. She has a small treasure hunt and knows the habits of ghost-type pets very well. Most of the ghost-type pets will uncontrollably appear when they pass through the wall. Observe the surrounding scene.
Then he hides his figure.
The surveillance screen did not capture it, indicating that this ghost-type pet must have passed through the blind spot of the surveillance.
Without saying a word, the staff member immediately led Qiao Sang to the blind corner of the surveillance area, pointed to the corner of the wall, and said, "That's right here."
Qiao Sang nodded at Yabao.
"tooth!"
Yabao instantly understood what his beast master meant, put his paws on the wall, and closed his eyes.
Qiao Sang closed his eyes at the same time.
The scene in front of me changed to pitch black, with only a little moonlight coming through the iron-barred window above.
Not long after, a pet beast with an almost purple body and a gas-like body appeared out of thin air beside the wall.
It glanced around and disappeared.
This pet beast is... Qiao Sang suddenly realized another problem.
That is, I know almost all about the pet beasts on the Super Pleiades and the rare pet beasts on various planets, but I don’t actually know that clearly about the common pet beasts on the Blue Star except for the Yuhua region.
It seems that during this period, we still need to get to know the pet beasts in the hollow area. After all, in the competition in the hollow area, most of the players are from this area, and the pet beasts sent are basically local pets... Qiao Sang closed up
Thoughts, looked to the side in the air, and said:
"Go to the other side of the wall."
"Xunxun~"
Amid the confused expressions on the staff's faces, Little Xunbao appeared, his eyes glowing blue.
The next second, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao disappeared from the spot and appeared outside the building.
The staff looked blankly at where Qiao Sang was and didn't react for a moment.
At the same time, outside, separated by a wall.
Yabao put his paw up and closed his eyes.
Most of the ghost beasts will subconsciously appear for observation when they pass through the wall. This is the same when they go in, and it is the same when they come out.
The scene changed and it quickly came to last night.
Under the moonlight, there was no movement around the wall.
Qiao Sang closed his eyes and said, "Let's see how time flows today."
"tooth."
Yabao closed his eyes and screamed.
The scene in front of him changed from night to day, and then to night again. Qiao Sang saw himself, Ya Bao and Xiao Xun Bao appearing here out of thin air.
Everything came to an abrupt end.
Qiao Sang suddenly opened his eyes, and a thought flashed through his mind:
The ghost pet beast may still be inside...(End of Chapter)
