Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 171

Chapter 171 Virtual Helmet

Releasing a task? Qiao Sang was curious but didn’t think of asking.

After all, releasing a task is a personal privacy, and some tasks can’t even be made public. Besides, she and Shi Gaofeng are not really familiar with each other. They might chat a few more words at school, and at most they would greet each other when they met in other places.

“Guess what task I’m here to release.” Shi Gaofeng lowered his voice and said nervously.

“What task?” Qiao Sang asked subconsciously.

At this moment, curiosity overcame rationality. Why should she be embarrassed to listen to what others had taken the initiative to say.

“It’s all because of the fat suction task. You are right. The eight-pack abs of that guy are indeed sucked out by liposuction!” Shi Gaofeng felt that he was deceived when he talked about this, and his face was full of indignation.

Qiao Sang was stunned and asked, “What does that have to do with the task you posted?”

Shi Gaofeng scratched his head and said awkwardly, “I failed the task and got a one-star bad review. Zheng Baolong will definitely not let me go when we gather next time. My body and mind will definitely be seriously traumatized by then.”

“So I want to rent a phantom water baby to replace me for a day when we gather.”

Qiao Sang was stunned when he heard this. Phantom water baby is a water-type pet that can change its own form to imitate the appearance of others.

Some office workers and students are extremely popular with it.

The higher the level of the phantom water baby, the more perfect it is at imitating others, but it still has a fatal weakness.

“I remember that the Water Baby can’t imitate people’s speech, right?” Qiao Sang reminded: “If Zheng Baolong finds out, you may have to clean the toilet for a month.”

“I know.” Shi Gaofeng looked at Qiao Sang with sincerity and said: “So I need your help.”

She shouldn’t be curious about what the task is… Qiao Sang said helplessly:

“What can I do for you?”

For someone like Shi Gaofeng who can be caught by Zheng Baolong every time she does something, she has already imagined the scene where the Water Baby is exposed and Zheng Baolong turns into a real Tyrannosaurus.

Shi Gaofeng’s face was happy, and he said happily: “It’s not a difficult thing to do. Just don’t talk to me at that time and help me cover it up. I have already told Xu Yajie about this, and he will help me too.”

“I was going to send you a message to tell you that I want you to help, but since we met, I don’t need to send that message.”

It turns out that even if I am not curious about what the task is, Shi Gaofeng will ask me for help…

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang felt much more comfortable.

“Where is Wang Yao? Did she know too?”

“Don’t let her know!” Shi Gaofeng said seriously, “I’ve known her longer than you, and I know what kind of person she is. If she knew, she would definitely laugh to death. Even if Zheng Baolong was in front of her, she couldn’t control her facial expression. By then, Zheng Baolong would definitely notice something was wrong.”

Qiao Sang’s mind unconsciously emerged with the scene of Wang Yao laughing after knowing.

The sense of the picture was so strong that it had to be said that Shi Gaofeng’s worry was not unreasonable…

…

Twenty minutes later, Qiao Sang dragged a box that looked a bit shabby out of the Beast Taming Center.

The process of collecting the reward was much simpler than she thought.

Originally, she thought that the staff would call or send a text message to the owner of the Beast Taming Badge, that is, the old lady, to verify the verification code or something.

Unexpectedly, she thought too much…

After the staff verified her own information and the information of the old lady’s Beast Taming Badge, they handed the box to her.

However, not just anyone with a Beast Taming Badge can come to collect the things.

When verifying the information of the beast badge, Qiao Sang realized that the old lady had recorded a video in it, specifying the person who should give the item to complete the task for her.

This was also the first time Qiao Sang knew that the beast badge could be used as memory.

…

After returning home, Qiao Sang opened the box immediately.

Yabao and the little treasure hunter gathered around curiously.

When the box was opened, there was a silver-gray helmet and 5 CDs inside, each with different pictures and words on it.

Is this the legendary virtual helmet? !

Qiao Sang was stunned by the things in the box.

In the previous life, the virtual helmet originated from the future imagination tool piled up by the words virtual, game, and helmet, and was the ultimate fantasy of the dead otaku.

But here, the virtual helmet is no longer a fantasy, but a reality.

Wearing a virtual helmet, the brain nerves will be connected to the virtual helmet, allowing users to see everything in the virtual world more realistically.

However, the people in this world invented the virtual helmet not for people to play games, but to help pets learn skills.

Pets can learn skills not only through the hands-on teaching of the beastmaster, but also through images to complete self-learning.

Later, some researchers felt that it was not very good to let pets get involved and learn skills through images, so virtual helmets came into being.

The principle of the virtual helmet is to magnify the image produced by the small two-dimensional display through the optical system. Different discs correspond to different skills, which can make pets better engaged in learning.

But soon everyone found that pets’ self-learning skills still depend on talent.

The emergence of virtual helmets has increased the enthusiasm of pets to learn skills, but in fact, the probability of learning new skills is still far lower than that of someone teaching them in real life.

Therefore, the virtual helmets were almost unsalable after they became popular for a while.

After all, this thing is expensive and easy to make pets addicted.

It would be fine if pets could learn new skills, but the problem is that most pets still can’t learn. They

can’t learn but want to play. If they are not allowed to play, they will cry, make trouble, and go on hunger strike in real life.

The original intention of buying a virtual helmet is to let pets learn new skills and make progress. As a result, not only did they not make progress, but they also became addicted to the Internet. Who can bear it?

Qiao Sang looked at the virtual helmet in the box and was excited and hesitant.

With the memory of her previous life, she still yearned for the virtual helmet, but it was for pets to learn skills. Looking at the size of the helmet, it was obvious that only the little treasure hunter could wear it.

It would be fine if Yabao was using it. She believed that with Yabao’s desire to become stronger, he would not get stuck in it even if he didn’t learn the skills.

But the little treasure-hunting ghost is not necessarily the case…

It has a playful personality. If it can’t learn like most pets and wants to play around, wouldn’t that be very troublesome?

The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely.

Although the little treasure-hunting ghost has a high talent and a high chance of learning it, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

To be on the safe side, the little treasure-hunting ghost must not be allowed to touch this thing… Qiao Sang analyzed it, calmed down and made a secret decision. When he turned around, he saw the little treasure-hunting ghost holding a CD and looking at it curiously.

The four big words written on the CD were facing him.

Dark Shadow Control.

Qiao Sang’s face was instantly dull.
