Chapter 300: Chapter 287: Singing

Lubao was initially taken aback and then showed an interested expression.

"Lubao!"

What did learning a new skill represent?

It meant enhanced strength! It meant being one step closer to defeating Yaobao!

It would learn!

"Very good!" Qiao Sang was very pleased with Lubao’s eagerness to learn and said, "This skill is called Healing Sound Wave, and it can make the target’s mood become calm."

"Lubao."

Upon hearing this, Lubao immediately reverted to its usual aloof expression, then flicked its tail and turned around to continue training.

So it wasn’t an attack skill, not interesting.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"This skill is very powerful!" Qiao Sang shouted.

"Lubao."

Lubao didn’t even turn its head as it uttered a sound.

No matter how powerful a skill was, it couldn’t defeat Yaobao.

No learning.

I thought you were simply eager to learn, but it turns out you’re only eager to learn to defeat Yaobao... Qiao Sang’s lips twitched as she opened her mouth and said:

"Who says you can’t defeat Yaobao with this skill once you learn it?"

"Lubao?"

Lubao immediately stopped, turned its head, and showed a "really?" expression.

"Of course." Qiao Sang said seriously, "If you want to defeat Yaobao, it’s definitely not enough to learn only attack skills. Defense, speed, and support skills can all possibly play a decisive role in a battle."

"Take your Healing Light, for instance. Use it halfway through the fight, isn’t that super effective? Others might think you’re done for, but then you get up again, still unscathed, you could literally anger your opponent to death."

"Lubao..."

Lubao appeared thoughtful.

Qiao Sang continued, "The Healing Sound Wave I want you to learn now might not be as awesome as the Healing Light, but it can calm the target’s mood."

"Just think, if you’re at a disadvantage during a battle, you’ll definitely become agitated, and agitation can lead to more mistakes. Healing Sound Wave can solve this problem very well." As Qiao Sang spoke, she found herself believing more and more in what she said, so she spoke with increasing confidence:

"What’s more, Yaobao tends to get fiercer the more it fights, and the main reason for that is its strong fighting spirit. When you use this skill on it during a fight, it will definitely weaken its passion for combat."

"Once that fighting passion is gone, its combat power will surely be reduced by at least half."

"Yaobao Yaobao Yaobao!"

Just as Qiao Sang finished speaking, Yaobao’s laughter echoed from the living room.

Lubao turned its head to look through the glass and saw that Yaobao was watching TV and rolling around in laughter, not paying any attention to this side at all.

It was training hard here, while Yaobao didn’t feel any pressure at all, plainly looking down on it, not considering it a rival!

"Lubao!"

Lubao flicked its tail, looking at Qiao Sang with a serious expression.

It would learn!

That’s more like it! Qiao Sang was jubilant inside, but she showed a relieved expression on her face as she crouched down and patted Lubao’s head:

"That’s right."

"Lubao."

Lubao’s tail gently swayed, suddenly feeling that being obedient wasn’t so bad.

Qiao Sang only knew the conditions for Pet Beasts to learn Healing Sound Wave but had no idea how to actually learn it, which didn’t stop her from thinking big:

"I’ll find a few healing songs for you to learn first. Try to infuse your energy into the singing, and maybe you’ll learn it as you sing."

"If that doesn’t work, I’ll think of something else."

"Lubao."

Lubao nodded.

Qiao Sang immediately took Lubao to the room, turned on the computer, and played a popular healing song.

"Watching the Pet Beast fall into the silent Secret Realm, listening to the distant roars from the depths..."

As the song played to this point, Qiao Sang pressed pause and said, "You try learning it."

"Lubao."

Lubao nodded, then closed its eyes to muster its emotions, and when it opened them again, its gaze was determined, and it began to sing confidently.

"Lubao~ Lubao Lubao Lubao~ Lubao Lubao~ Lubao~ Lubao Lubao..."

The voice that came out left Qiao Sang dumbfounded.

What?

What is this singing?!

The singing echoed continuously in the room.

"Lubao."

After singing, Lubao looked at Qiao Sang and made a sound, showing a confident expression as if awaiting an evaluation.

Qiao Sang was silent.

"Lubao?"

Lubao called out again.

Qiao Sang still did not utter a word.

"Lubao!"

Lubao pouted its mouth and fiercely tugged at Qiao Sang’s pant leg with its paw.

Hurry up and tell me how my singing was!

Qiao Sang: "..."

At this moment, Qiao Sang’s heart was collapsing.

Despite all her calculations, she never expected Lubao to be tone-deaf!

And it wasn’t just ordinary tone-deafness—the kind where others sing for money, but Lubao’s singing could cost lives!

With such a pleasant voice, how could it be completely off-pitch!

After a brief silence, Qiao Sang steadied her spirit and said half-seriously, half-jokingly, "You sang well, I was just shocked by your singing."

"Lubao."

Lubao showed an expression that read "I see."

It believed her! It actually believed her! Don’t you have any idea how your own singing actually sounds! Qiao Sang roared inwardly while calmly saying, "With that song, you should practice a bit more. I’ll look up if there’s another way to learn Healing Sound Wave."

"Lubao lubao."

Lubao called out confidently, indicating it felt that this method was enough to learn the skill, and there was no need to go through the trouble of looking for others.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Of course, she definitely had to look it up, yet healing sound wave was mostly a racial gift that only certain pet beasts could learn.

Plus, this skill wasn’t particularly unique among the numerous skills out there, so not many people discussed it.

Qiao Sang looked for a long while but didn’t find any reliable ideas.

No choice then, it was time to sleep.

Even though Lubao’s Healing Light allowed one to stay up all night without any burden, Qiao Sang still felt that sleeping was essential for now.

After a day’s activities, one had to rest; balancing work and relaxation was the proper way. It wasn’t like in her previous life during her senior year in high school, where she had to split her time in half to make use of every minute.

...

The next morning.

As soon as Qiao Sang opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Xunbao looking listless, with bloodshot eyes, staring pitifully at her.

Seeing Qiao Sang awake, Xiao Xunbao directly threw itself into her arms and started sobbing.

"Xun!"

"Xun Xun!"

"What’s wrong?" Qiao Sang got startled, "Why are you crying?"

"Xun Xun!"

"Xun Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes brimmed with tears as it pointed towards the direction of the courtyard and then to its ears.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, "Are you saying Lubao sang all night long?"

"Xun Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao’s expression turned to one of agitation.

That wasn’t singing! That was a sound-based attack skill!

Qiao Sang: "..."

At that moment, Yaobao sleepily opened its eyes.

"Ya..."

Yaobao looked towards Xiao Xunbao, still half-asleep.

Why is the little one crying...

"Xun!"

"Xun Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao, upon seeing Yaobao awaken, immediately pointed again towards the direction of the courtyard.

Big brother Yaobao, with such good ears, must have also heard it!

"Ya..."

Yaobao looked confused.

Heard what? It didn’t hear anything...

Xiao Xunbao: "..."

Qiao Sang: "..."

Qiao Sang soothed, "Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Lubao about this. It definitely won’t do this again tonight."

"Xun!"

On hearing this, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes immediately welled up with tears as it threw itself into Qiao Sang’s arms again.

I believe you!

...

Shengshui Middle School.

After the morning’s lessons, Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something. Instead of going to lunch as usual, she went to the entrance of Class One, Year Nine, and asked, "Is Liu Qijia here?"

ps: I came back late last night, woke up late this morning, and had some things to do, so the post is delayed.

Most importantly, Happy New Year to everyone!
