Chapter 39: Extra Services Cost Extra!
Noticing the commotion at the doorway, the sparring in the venue also stopped, with both sides paying attention to the particularly excited Little Sunflower Cockatoo at the doorway.
Hu Ming rushed over with a few other staff members, a group of people crowding around the doorway busily.
“We’ve trained for about an hour and a half. How about you and your Pet Beast take a rest too? We’ll continue in half an hour?”
Ge Bai saw that it wouldn’t be resolved for a while and decided to fulfill her duties as a Martial Arts School Sparring Partner, first soothing her own customer.
Flower Shirt was very satisfied with Ge Bai and Weeping Ancient Willow’s sparring service, so he was particularly accommodating now. They did indeed need a break to find a nutritionist to recover their condition.
“No problem.”
With that, he stood up and cheerfully called for the Striped Ghost-Eyed Lynx to leave from the other side.
Hu Ming saw that Ge Bai had arranged everything clearly for this side’s guest and gave her a grateful look.
Ge Bai smiled. It was nothing; paying her salary on time was enough.
Yun He Martial Arts School was experienced too. Several staff members almost simultaneously cast Healing Spell and calming spells.
Bird-specific Nutrient Solution was also brought to the Little Sunflower Cockatoo’s beak, and in the distance, two staff members carrying a Cage were ready to step forward at any time.
The Cockatoo was quickly soothed.
Seeing the situation under control, Ge Bai then held Little Peach tightly and walked toward the doorway.
“Hua E, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you just shout that you were tired and wanted to leave?”
The Beast Tamer was squatting on the ground, one hand firmly holding the Little Sunflower Cockatoo, the other hand gently stroking its feathers.
It was this tall, intellectual beauty with exquisite makeup, wearing gold-rimmed half-frame glasses, her hairstyle impeccably neat, and a set of tight Sports Uniform that outlined her figure curvaceously.
Ge Bai thought she shouldn’t wear a Sports Uniform; an OL professional suit would suit her better.
But calling a parrot Big Goose? This Beast Tamer had some personality.
“Cockatoo! Cockatoo!”
The Little Sunflower Cockatoo had calmed down by now. Seeing Ge Bai carrying Little Peach over, it stared intently at Little Peach without excessive flapping, just chattering to its own Beast Tamer.
Ge Bai had deliberately brought Little Peach over. Seeing the Cockatoo’s reaction, she could confirm it was another Pet Beast whose mind had been clouded by Bewitching Peach Fragrance.
“Hello, I’m Zhou Er. This is my Pet Beast Little Sunflower Cockatoo. Her name is Hua E. Are you also a Trainer at Yun He Martial Arts School?”
“My Hua E says she really likes that peach fragrance. Smelling the peach fragrance makes her feel full of vitality again.”
The tall beauty stood up holding the Little Sunflower Cockatoo and directly cast her gaze toward Ge Bai and the Little Peach in her arms.
“Yes, Little Peach is a Golden Powder Peach Demon Tree. This peach fragrance is her Skill, with the effect of invigorating Pet Beasts’ spirits.”
Although Ge Bai still couldn’t confirm the exact effect of Bewitching Peach Fragrance, it didn’t stop her from answering confidently now.
“Cockatoo! Cockatoo!”
The Cockatoo in Zhou Er’s arms seemed a bit anxious now. She lowered her head to glance at her Pet Beast and said very directly to Ge Bai.
“Then can I hire you and your Spirit Plant as my Sparring Partner?”
“When we’re training, this Little Peach can just use the peach fragrance Skill nearby.”
Whoa, she had her eye on Little Peach.
“Of course, of course! Ge Bai is a Gold Medal Trainer at our Yun He Martial Arts School!” Hu Ming replied with a beaming smile before Ge Bai could speak.
Ge Bai frowned slightly. She couldn’t split herself in two. The sparring task with Big Willow wasn’t finished yet, and she was even less willing to just let Little Peach out there.
“Then you’ll have to wait in line. My other Pet Beast has a three-hour daily sparring appointment with another customer.”
“I wouldn’t feel at ease leaving either Pet Beast alone to handle the sparring work.”
Speaking of which, both Pet Beasts had just been Contracted less than a week ago. She should still accompany them in training and battles first. Maybe when they were a bit bigger, but now she really wasn’t at ease.
After all, Ge Bai hadn’t fully grasped their Skills yet. She was still counting on strengthening her understanding and Synergy with the Pet Beasts through training and battles.
She couldn’t favor one over the other just because Big Willow was a bit older and more sensible, leaving him in this Training Ground while putting the other aside. That wouldn’t be right.
In sparring, the Trainer and the training Pet Beast generally appeared together. Ge Bai’s request wasn’t excessive.
Zhou Er was a bit curious. She knew very well this was a Martial Arts School focused on training agile-type Pet Beasts.
“What is your other Pet Beast? What kind of training can it provide?”
“Can it meet my Hua E’s training requirements?”
“If I hire both of your Pet Beasts to help train my Hua E together, can we skip the queue in terms of training time?”
This girl had very clear thinking, precisely grasping the key points of the communication.
The first two sentences were directed at Ge Bai, while the last two were straight to Hu Ming.
Actually, the Little Sunflower Cockatoo was Zhou Er’s newly Contracted Pet Beast. Recently, their Synergy and training hadn’t been going smoothly.
Compared to Zhou Er’s previous two Pet Beasts, this Cockatoo was really too much trouble. Her talent was clearly good, but her personality was too spoiled.
At the Spirit Beast cultivation center, Zhou Er had chosen this Little Sunflower Cockatoo because she had comprehended one more Skill than other peers of the same age, which was already impressive.
Zhou Er, who was planning to take the professional Arena Competition Beast Tamer route, couldn’t move her feet upon seeing a Spirit Beast with such talent and immediately chose to Contract it.
Unexpectedly, after the Contract, Zhou Er discovered that a Pet Beast’s talent was one thing, and its personality another—these were completely unrelated matters.
Not only was its Spiritual Power cultivation painfully slow, it could fall asleep during meditation in less than an hour, and Skill cultivation was even slower.
Although it had awakened 4 Skills, it would casually practice each one a couple times and refuse to continue, worrying Zhou Er sick. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have specially brought Hua E to Yun He Martial Arts School.
But even after coming to the Martial Arts School, her Hua E would slack off by any means possible whenever she could.
It clearly was just simple flight Evasion, but she wouldn’t practice more.
They had passed by Ge Bai’s Training Ground just now because after less than an hour of practice, Hua E had collapsed on the ground and refused to move another bit.
Zhou Er had no choice but to end the day’s training.
After just communicating with Hua E, Zhou Er discovered her particular fondness for the peach fragrance. This competent Beast Tamer immediately made a deal with her own Pet Beast.
Unexpectedly, Hua E agreed very readily: as long as she could smell the peach fragrance, she would continue training. This delighted Zhou Er.
You know, usually even dedicated Nutrient Solution or hawk-beak fruits couldn’t coax her.
So, she was determined to hire Ge Bai, this Beast Tamer.
Ge Bai was indifferent; it didn’t matter who she sparred with. She briefly introduced Weeping Ancient Willow’s Level and Skills, then said no more, glancing at Hu Ming to indicate he should handle the Arrangement.
“For the next two weeks, I can only stay at the Martial Arts School for half a day.”
Ge Bai also clearly informed Hu Ming of her time Arrangement. After all, the repelling task still had a requirement for 10 First Order or above, so she needed to think of other ways.
Hu Ming secretly gave Ge Bai a reassuring gesture, then enthusiastically communicated with Zhou Er about the specific details of changing Hua E’s training.
Hu Ming was aware of this Little Sunflower Cockatoo’s situation too. If the Pet Beast didn’t want to train, the Martial Arts School couldn’t make money.
If the Trainer was switched to Ge Bai, it meant the Martial Arts School only needed to provide one Training Ground to sell two sessions of Trainer time simultaneously, and at the high price of a Gold Medal Trainer.
This deal was profitable no matter how you looked at it.
