Ti ticked by, second by second.
The sun rose, and the sky gradually brightened.
Gangbao was still training at the outdoor training field.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter didn’t know when it returned, but through the floor-to-ceiling window, it watched this scene with a sigh-like murmur.
So intense...
Liu Yao walked beside Little Treasure Hunter, looking outside with a complicated expression.
Even just to attempt participating in a harmonization contest, they had to train all night—if Qiao Sang doesn’t succeed, who else would?
"Don’t bother them." Liu Yao said, "Gangbao needs to train. Help make breakfast today instead."
After saying that, he headed toward the kitchen.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter showed interest and hurried to follow.
It was curious about everything it hadn’t tried before.
...
An hour and a half later.
"Ya Ya!"
Yaobao ran toward the outdoor training field from the living room.
Even Yaobao was awake—looks like it wasn’t early anymore... Qiao Sang held up the Strength Detector, glancing at the running figure, dazedly thinking.
At that mont, seven streaks of purple light streaked down from the sky.
kilograms, 300 kilograms, 300 kilograms... Qiao Sang forced herself to focus, looking at the display screen consistently showing 300 kilograms, managing a weak smile: "That’ll do, let’s rest."
"Chan Chan..."
The Chan Chan Stones dragged their weary steps toward the living room.
Working hard isn’t easy...
"Dee Dee!"
Adinixi’s nose had long caught the aroma of food wafting from the villa, its eyes lit up with blue light and it vanished eagerly from where it stood.
Qiao Sang instinctively tossed aside the Strength Detector and stretched her arms to catch the pouncing Yaobao.
"Ya Ya!"
Yaobao let out a dissatisfied cry, expressing frustration at not being included in the training.
Qiao Sang paused for a mont: "Could you train all night?"
"Ya Ya..."
Yaobao showed an embarrassed expression.
Forget all night—it couldn’t even manage staying up a bit late...
"Gangzhan."
Gangbao swooped down from the sky.
"Let’s go eat." Qiao Sang yawned, continuing, "After eating, we’ll get ready and head out."
"Gangzhan?"
Gangbao didn’t imdiately enter the house but called out, indicating whether the current amount of training was really enough.
Qiao Sang thought for a mont and replied, "I think it’s fine."
"Gangzhan."
Relaxing at her words, Gangbao flapped its wings and flew toward the house.
Qiao Sang followed while holding Yaobao, laughing: "You trust just like that? I thought you’d want to practice the entrance routine a few more tis."
"Gangzhan."
Without looking back, Gangbao called out.
I trust you.
Qiao Sang froze for a mont, her heart ward, feeling unexpectedly moved and much more awake.
She could sense Gangbao’s seriousness about the contest, and hadn’t expected that just her words were enough for it to relax without insisting on further training.
This Gangbao was entirely different from the ti shortly after they ford their Contract...
Back then, during battles, even her commands caused Gangbao to hesitate...
...
Half an hour later, Qiao Sang carried a backpack holding Lubao, sitting atop Yaobao with renewed spirits as they set off toward the harmonization contest venue.
By now, the daylight was in full bloom.
High in the skies, many people were riding flight-type Pet Beasts to work.
"Xun Xun?"
Little Treasure Hunter looked curious, indicating its curiosity about how well their fourth team mber had trained and whether it should switch roles.
"Gangzhan."
Before Qiao Sang could respond, Gangbao called out, stating that its training was only successful once and there would be no switching.
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter beca anxious.
Shouldn’t they switch? Only one success, how could that be enough!
If the fourth mber failed the first stage and didn’t advance, how would it perform in the second stage?
"Gangzhan."
Gangbao calmly called out.
Its Beast Tar said it was fine.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter let out a relief-filled sound, feeling that if its Beast Tar said there were no issues, then there really were none.
With confirmation that it wouldn’t be in the first stage lineup, Little Treasure Hunter took off its rings and pulled out accessories and Pet Beast costus, starting to dress itself and Gangbao.
Gangbao stood quietly, allowing the elaborate dressing-up.
Just wait, soon everyone will be decked out... Qiao Sang saw Little Treasure Hunter and Gangbao adorned in garish, eye-blinding red and green outfits with all sorts of dazzling accessories, her mouth twitched slightly. Silently, she shifted her gaze to the navigation system, deciding that ignoring it was the best option.
...
Xiangsuo Street No. 1.
The venue for the harmonization contest.
Many stylishly-dressed Harmonizers had already gathered, while groups of reporters conducted live broadcasts.
Yaobao descended from the sky onto the ground, its luxurious fur and unique Pet Beast appearance imdiately drawing a majority of the crowd’s attention.
Everyone’s eyes turned to it.
Among them, so recognized it as Fla Kiru, their eyes lit up as they swiftly pulled out their phones or caras and began snapping photos.
Qiao Sang slid down from Yaobao’s back.
A mature-looking female reporter with golden curly hair jogged over, holding a microphone, and asked:
"Are you a Harmonizer?"
Qiao Sang hesitated for a mont, recalling the F-rank Harmonizer badge she had recently received after review, and nodded:
"I am."
