Beast Taming: Starting From Zero-Chapter 613: Advanced Hypnosis

"Please wait a moment, I'll check." The staff member said as she began to look into it.

A moment later, she looked up and said, "There's nothing wrong with the task, it's just that no one has accepted it."

Qiao Sang: ...

"Why?" Qiao Sang couldn't help but ask.

The staff member smiled and explained, "Dream Projection isn't a commonly used skill, and it's a high-level ability. There might not be many pet beasts that can perform it. Please be patient, someone will eventually accept it."

I've already been patient for half a month... Qiao Sang sighed and said, "Can you search for beast tamers who have pet beasts capable of Dream Projection and are offering this skill as a task reward? I can take on their task in exchange."

Who would use Dream Projection as a reward... The staff member internally complained but maintained a professional smile and said, "One moment, please."

She then lowered her head to check the system.

After about thirty seconds, she stopped, a look of surprise flashing across her face. She looked up and said, "There's one. I've synchronized it to the external screen. Please take a look."

Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, and she looked down at the screen.

[Task: Looking for a pet beast with Hypnosis at least at the Advanced level]

[Task Location: Theo Film Base]

[Task Reward: Target will perform Hypnosis along with Dream Projection (a necessary combo for certain secret techniques)]

[Task Rating: Two-Star]

So task rewards can be described like this... But if someone’s already looking for a pet beast with Advanced-level Hypnosis, wouldn't adding Hypnosis as a reward be redundant? Qiao Sang inwardly complained before pressing the confirmation button in the bottom right corner.

No matter what, as long as the reward included what she needed, it was fine.

---

One hour later.

Theo Film Base.

Qiao Sang dialed the number of the task publisher.

The call was quickly answered, and a lazy female voice came through the speaker.

"Hello?"

"Hi, I’m the person who accepted your task. I just contacted you, and I’ve now arrived at Theo Film Base."

Earlier, after accepting the task, Qiao Sang had called the publisher to confirm their location.

"Wait a moment, a Swift Moth will come to find you. When you see it, say ‘Sylvia is the Queen of Film,’ and it will lead you to me." The woman instructed.

"...Alright." Qiao Sang replied.

What does a Swift Moth even look like…? Hanging up the call, she immediately searched for information on Swift Moths.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Soon, an image of a pale purple moth-like pet beast with bulging, bubble-like eyes appeared on her phone screen.

"Yap Yap!"

Yabao glanced at the phone screen, then pointed ahead and to the left.

It was right there!

Qiao Sang followed Yabao's direction and spotted a pet beast identical to the one in the image, looking around.

So fast? Qiao Sang was surprised and walked toward it.

As she approached, she repeated the phrase given by the task publisher:

"Sylvia is the Queen of Film."

The Swift Moth gave her a baffled expression and flitted a meter back, increasing the distance.

Qiao Sang: ???

Yabao: ???

Did I mess up the code phrase? No way… Just as she was about to repeat it, "Swift swift."

Another Swift Moth flew over from the side and called out.

Qiao Sang turned her head to see the newcomer giving her an expression of realization.

So there was more than one Swift Moth here… I must have approached the wrong one earlier.

Clearing her throat, she addressed the new arrival.

"Sylvia is the Queen of Film."

The second Swift Moth showed the same baffled expression as the first. Then, the two moths flew off together.

Qiao Sang: …

So neither of them were the right one…

"Yap…"

Yabao sighed.

After waiting in place for about five minutes, another Swift Moth finally appeared in her view.

This time, Qiao Sang was smarter. She didn't rush over but observed it first.

Noticing that this moth's gaze was fixed on the people entering and exiting the base, she concluded that it must be the right one.

Qiao Sang stepped forward and firmly said, "Sylvia is the Queen of Film."

"Swift swift!"

The Swift Moth's eyes lit up, and it spun in a circle, signaling that it was indeed the correct one.

Qiao Sang couldn't understand the moth's speech, but seeing that it didn't react like the previous two, she knew the code phrase had finally worked.

Guided by the Swift Moth, she arrived at a black RV.

"Swift swift."

The moth called out near the car window, and the door opened.

"Come in." The woman’s voice called from inside.

Qiao Sang stepped onto the RV and closed the door behind her.

Inside, a blonde woman with delicate makeup and a black dress was smoking.

The Swift Moth flew to her side.

The woman raised an eyebrow upon seeing Qiao Sang, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes. She then twisted her cigarette into the ashtray, extinguishing it.

The person who accepted the task is just a kid?

Sylvia examined the girl before her, wearing a school backpack, holding a small pet beast, clearly still underage. Her gaze finally lingered on the pet beast she had never seen before for two seconds before she asked, "You’re the beast tamer who took my task?"

Qiao Sang gave a simple "Mhm."

"Leave." Sylvia said flatly.

"You’re too young."

What, now there’s age discrimination? Qiao Sang mentally complained but kept a neutral expression.

"I recall your task only requiring a pet beast with Advanced-level Hypnosis. You didn’t specify an age limit."

"That was my oversight." Sylvia replied calmly.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds before saying, "My pet beast has reached the Ultimate level in Hypnosis. If you need a high-proficiency Hypnosis user, I’m undoubtedly the best candidate."

Sylvia was momentarily stunned, then fell into deep thought.

After about ten seconds, she asked, "Can your pet beast hypnotize someone’s subconscious thoughts?"

Uh… Little Treasure's Hypnosis had only been used in battles and on ants during training, mainly just to put them to sleep. I’ve never tested whether it can extract subconscious thoughts.

But since this task requires a pet beast with Advanced-level Hypnosis, it must mean such a beast can do it.

If that’s the case, then a pet beast with Ultimate-level Hypnosis should have no problem…

Qiao Sang clenched her teeth.

"Yes!"

"Xun xun…"

Little Treasure, still invisible, scratched his head.

Hypnotizing subconscious thoughts…? Can I do that?

I’ve never tried…

Sylvia’s expression relaxed slightly.

"I need you to hypnotize a pet beast for me."

Huh? What? A pet beast? Not a person?

Qiao Sang blinked, momentarily caught off guard.

"The task is simple." Sylvia continued.

"In a moment, I’ll have a Swift Moth come up here. You’ll perform deep hypnosis on it. As long as its dream content reflects its subconscious thoughts, that’s all that matters. I'll give you a five-star rating."
