Tingbao looked at her but didn't answer; he just snorted coldly.
Qiao Sang lowered his voice and reminded him:
"Have you forgotten? When Tingbao was still in the egg, you always reminded me that it would be best to contract with another pet."
"Teeth."
Ya Bao has excellent hearing. He nodded and called out, indicating that he also remembered these words and had said them many times.
Michaela was speechless.
Honestly, she had no prejudice against a pet beast in its egg; she was simply offering advice.
Michaela looked at Tingbao, whose expression was not friendly, and his expression gradually became complicated.
Generally speaking, pets can hear external sounds while they are still in the egg. Studies have shown that pets prefer to hear sounds they often hear while in the egg and remember those sounds. Once hatched, they will develop a fondness for the person or pet that has that sound.
However, this is only a short-term memory connection. Once the person or pet with that voice is not around for a period of time, the pet will quickly forget it.
According to research, it is possible for pets to remember the sounds they heard while in their eggs, but this usually happens before their language abilities and logical thinking are fully developed.
Moreover, the pet only remembers the sound, not a complete sentence, and it's even less likely that it understands the meaning of the words, and it's impossible that it would remember it until now.
This is very abnormal... Michaela looked Tingbao up and down.
"Tingting..."
Noticing her scrutiny, the yellow arcs of electricity that had just disappeared from Tingbao's body surged up again. However, since his own beast tamer was right next to that annoying human, he restrained himself and did not choose to strike immediately.
Seeing this, Michael withdrew his gaze, coughed, and said:
"I have indeed forgotten."
As soon as he finished speaking, the electric arcs on Tingbao's body suddenly doubled in size.
Michael continued:
"When Tingbao was in the egg, I didn't know it would be this smart."
Smart? Is this a compliment? Tingbao was taken aback, and the power of the electric arcs on his body gradually weakened.
“I’ve never heard of a creature that can hear sounds from the outside while still inside an egg, understand their meaning, and remember them for so long,” Michaela said in a deep voice. “Even a reincarnated mythical beast couldn’t do that.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang turned to look at Xia Lala, who looked fresh and vibrant, and asked:
Do you have any memories of being inside a pet egg?
“Xiaxia.” Xia Lala thought for a moment and shook her head.
Sure enough, there wasn't. It seems Tingbao's situation is quite special... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
"Tingting".
Tingbao sneered, indicating that he shouldn't think he would forget what Tingbao had said before just because Tingbao said this now.
Michaela, not understanding, continued:
"Regarding Tingbao's situation, I can only think of one possibility."
"What?" Qiao Sang asked cooperatively.
"It awakened some of its inherited memories when it was still an egg, so it could understand words. In addition, its intelligence and memory are outstanding, which is why it still remembers what it heard in the egg," Michaela said.
Qingbao stood to the side with a look of reminiscence on her face.
I don't think I developed any memories while I was in the pet egg.
The thought that Lao Liu had accomplished what she herself had failed to do made Qingbao's gaze towards Tingbao instantly change.
"Tingting".
Tingbao gave a cold snort.
Even if you praise me, I will not forget what you said before.
That's what they said, but the electric arcs on its body honestly disappeared.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang exclaimed, "I've always felt that Tingbao's intelligence is extraordinary."
"Tingting." Upon hearing his beast tamer say this, Tingbao's dissatisfaction finally disappeared, and he showed an embarrassed expression, calling out to indicate that he was still a little short of being the boss.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter floated over, patted its head, revealed a smug expression, and barked, indicating that even if you are a little worse than me, you are still very smart.
"Tingting".
Tingbao stopped being modest and nodded to indicate that it understood.
Michaela pondered and said, "Most importantly, it's Tingbao's elders. I have a feeling that one of the two dragon-type pets that gave birth to Tingbao is definitely extraordinary."
“I knew it when I found out that Tingbao had inherited memories.” After saying that, Qiao Sang thought of something and sighed, “I really want to meet Tingbao’s elders.”
Michaela said, "When we return to Blue Star, there might be an opportunity. If Tingbao's elders are really as I previously speculated, Tingbao may still need to rely on them if he wants to break through the racial limit in the future."
Breaking through the racial limit? Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Teacher, do you think Tingbao can break through the racial limit?"
Xiao Tinglong's racial limit is Emperor level, and the next level is Venerable level. Even the most accomplished researchers who have dedicated their lives to pet research would not dare to say that they could enable a pet whose racial limit is Emperor level to break through.
Tingbao looked over.
“It’s not impossible,” Michaela said with a smile. “After all, for Tingbao to inherit memories, its elders must be very special. However, there is only a sliver of hope. We’ll have to meet its elders to know for sure. Of course, it’s too early to say anything now.”
After saying that, she seemed to remember something, took out her phone, and said:
"I almost forgot, I'll have Jacqueline come over now to check Tingbao out."
Michaela opened the chat software and quickly typed.
"Tingting..."
Tingbao stood to the side, seemingly lost in thought.
Elders...
It's really too early to talk about this. I reckon Tingbao won't even need to think about this after I finish the Interstellar Cup... Qiao Sang thought of something and quickly entered the Beast Taming Manual, turning to the page about Tingbao.
