Chapter 1014: Shidia Ghost-Type Ninth Research Institute
1014. Chapter 1014: Shidia Ghost-Type Ninth Research Institute (Combined)
Absorbing positive emotional energy... Let the Ghost-Type Beast Companion try to feel happy, maintaining a joyful mood, allowing them to sense positive emotional energy... Qiao Sang put down his phone, deep in thought.
Treasure Seeker is still at the General-Class stage, and the evolution path to the Imperial Tier is public and transparent. As long as the necessary evolution materials are gathered, there's no need to worry too much.
Moreover, the materials needed for Treasure Seeker to reach the Royal Tier will be complete in ten days. The Evolution Site and form have already been confirmed in Adinix's prophecy, so it definitely has nothing to do with this method.
However, after reaching the Imperial Tier, we could try the method Doctor Zhang Tai Dong suggested...
Maintaining a happy mood for the Ghost-Type Beast Companion... Qiao Sang looked at Treasure Seeker, who was standing beside him.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker, noticing that its Beastmaster was looking at it, blinked its eyes.
Qiao Sang handed over the phone with a smile, "You worked hard in the recent match. I'll let you play with the phone tonight."
Although Treasure Seeker's next evolution form is already set, there's no harm in trying to make it happy. Even if it doesn't evolve into a different form, there might be some changes.
After all, when Treasure Seeker evolved into the Ghost Ringghost, the prerequisite was to split the Ring into two, which was a significant change.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker stared at the phone Qiao Sang handed over, then reached out with its claws to take it, but it didn't show any obvious signs of happiness.
Qiao Sang asked hesitantly, "Aren't you happy?"
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker paused.
What should it be happy about?
Qiao Sang said, "I'm letting you play with the phone, remember?"
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker pointed outside with its claws and called out.
It didn't want to play with the phone today; it wanted to go out and play, as promised.
Qiao Sang: "..."
I almost forgot...
"Give me the phone back." Qiao Sang held out his hand.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker pretended not to hear, called out, and then quickly teleported away.
Qiao Sang: "..."
It seems playing with the phone no longer attracts Treasure Seeker...
"Steel Blade."
At that moment, Steel Treasure, who was by the window, opened its eyes and called out, indicating that making Treasure Seeker happy was too simple. If being happy could make it evolve, it would have evolved in a second if Fangy, Lulu, and Qingbao all recognized it as their Big Brother.
Qiao Sang subconsciously looked in the direction of Fangy and Lulu, seeing that they were both closed-eyed, he silently sighed in relief.
"If Fangy, Lulu, and Qingbao all called it Big Brother, that wouldn't just be happiness, it would be excitement. I'm afraid it would faint from joy", Qiao Sang thought to himself.
"Steel Blade..." Steel Treasure responded in his mind, agreeing.
No one noticed that Lulu, in the water tank, had opened one eye and then closed it again.
...
The next morning, early.
Qiao Sang freshened up and pulled back the curtains, glancing at the sky covered with light gray clouds.
It looks like the weather won't be good today...
"Knock knock~"
As he was thinking, a knock sounded.
A breeze blew by, and Qingbao appeared by the door, opening the handle.
Migala stepped in and said, "Once Teacher Flauda comes and checks everything, we'll head to the Shidia Ghost-Type Ninth Research Institute."
The Shidia Ghost-Type Ninth Research Institute? Qiao Sang was taken aback.
Isn't that where Doctor Zhang Tai Dong is from?
"Why are we going there?" Qiao Sang asked.
"The passerby mentioned Doctor Zhang Tai Dong last night. I looked him up, and he's at that Research Institute", Migala said as he sat down on the sofa.
Zhang Tai Dong may only be an A-Class researcher, but his studies on Ghost-type Beast Companions are indeed profound. The Ghost Ring King is your Dragon Nation's familiar, and the teachers at the Imperial Beastmaster Academy might not have as much knowledge about Dragon Nation's familiars as you do.
She glanced at the Treasure Seeker, who was fiddling with a bunch of gadgets on the floor, and continued:
"I read through Doctor Zhang Tai Dong's published papers, which suggest that some Ghost-type Beast Companions might have an alternative evolution path. The Ghost Ring King's evolution limit is the Imperial Tier. You should look into it; there might be a chance to help the Ghost Ring King break through its racial limit."
The Beast Trainer Society has been around for a long time, with countless researchers continuously exploring the mysteries of familiar bloodlines. Most of the research on familiar racial limits has already been completed.
Nowadays, claiming that a familiar can break through its racial limit is almost like wishful thinking.
However, the person in front of her is Qiao Sang, who has broken multiple conventions. She herself cannot be judged by conventional standards, so Migala wanted to give it a try.
As a Ghost-type and Psychic-type familiar, the Ghost Ring King not only has powerful attributes but also high potential. However, if it only reaches the Imperial Tier, which is its racial limit, it won't be able to serve as a main familiar in the Interstellar Cup.
If it can break through its racial limit and reach the Imperial Rank, everything would be different.
"Xunxun..."
Break through the racial limit? Treasure Seeker understood and looked up, dazed.
It can?
Qiao Sang was surprised and moved. She asked:
"Teacher, have you already contacted Doctor Zhang Tai Dong?"
Migala glanced at her: "I don't even know him, how could I contact him?"
Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Then should we go to the research institute? Will they let us in?"
"More accurately, you should go to the research institute", Migala said slowly:
"I am not from the Dragon Nation, and no one from another country can just walk into any state's research institute."
Qiao Sang was stunned again:
"Will they let me in if I go?"
Migala smiled:
"Don't underestimate your current fame. You just won the Hollow Plains Tournament, and you're at the peak of your popularity. Plus, you have a Variant Ghost Ring King. If you go there and explain your identity and purpose, I believe Doctor Zhang Tai Dong will be willing to help you."
Teacher might be overestimating me a bit. Doctor Zhang is a researcher who spends most of his time in the research institute; would he have heard of me?... Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and nodded:
"I'll give it a try."
Although Treasure Seeker's next form and the one after that have already been determined, there's no clear information on the evolution methods related to this research. Since she had come all the way to Zhitia Region and had a lead on another Ghost-type Beast Companion's evolution path, it would be best to get a more detailed understanding.
"Xunxun..."
Hearing this, Treasure Seeker's eyes sparkled as it looked up at its Beastmaster.
...
It was nearly noon.
"Knock, knock." There were two knocks on the room's door.
Steel Treasure flew over to open it.
Flauda walked in, giving Steel Treasure a complex look and then glancing at Qiao Sang.
"You're here", Migala greeted.
"Teacher Flauda, have you eaten? Would you like to have something first?" Qiao Sang asked warmly.
"I already ate on the plane", Flauda reflected. "I didn't expect that in such a short time, not only did you win the Regional Tournament, but you also helped the Steel Sword Falcon undergo Bond Evolution again."
Qiao Sang was somewhat surprised:
"Did you see the news about me winning the championship?"
Flauda glanced at Migala, a smile in his voice:
"It was your Teacher who specially sent me your battle record."
In the past, he hadn't had much interaction with Migala, but since he took charge of Qiao Sang's familiar's cultivation, they occasionally communicated about Yan Jiaou and the others.
"Took the trouble to send it?" Qiao Sang looked at Teacher Mikara.
Migala cleared his throat and changed the subject:
"Let's quickly check on Steel Sword Falcon. Qiao Sang has other things to do later."
Hearing this, Flauda didn't delay, pulling out various devices to start examining Steel Treasure.
Steel Treasure stood still, quietly cooperating.
After a thorough check-up of about ten minutes, Flauda put down his equipment and said:
"Steel Sword Falcon is in excellent condition. Moving forward, the Energy Pills I formulate will focus on energy growth. To find a more suitable formula, we'll need to check it after it temporarily evolves into its Royal Tier form."
Migala, as if he had anticipated this, nodded slightly:
"I've already reserved the Training Field. We can go now."
Even the Training Field is reserved... Qiao Sang felt extremely relieved. During the Regional Tournament mission, she hadn't noticed, but now she was acutely aware of the benefits of having a Teacher around.
"Then let's go now", Flauda said.
"Fangy!"
Fangy, hearing this, quickly ran to the nightstand and picked up the Beast Egg.
"Meimei."
"Pengamei's voice echoed from nowhere.
In the next second, they all appeared in the Training Field.
Two Ghost-type Beast Companions, who had been chatting and eating in mid-air in the Arena, were startled, their Invisibility disappearing.
This efficiency... Qiao Sang glanced around, reflecting on the situation, and exchanged a nod with Steel Treasure.
"Steel Blade."
Steel Treasure understood immediately.
Soon, a blinding white light enveloped its body.
Flauda looked up at the growing silhouette in the white light, reflecting:
"The fact that Steel Sparrows can directly Bond Evolve to the Royal Tier is already known by many students in the academy. Professor Apaga has even applied for a study on Steel Sparrows, aiming to introduce them to Eagaria."
Professor Apaga? Qiao Sang looked at Teacher Mikara.
Before she could ask, Migala explained:
"Professor Apaga specializes in Bond Evolution. The fact that Steel Sparrows can directly Bond Evolve to the Royal Tier and have no clear dead end for further evolution means she won't sit still."
No wonder... Qiao Sang hadn't expected that not only had Steel Treasure made an appearance in the Dragon Nation, but it had also caught the attention of a professor at the Imperial Beastmaster Academy. It seems that seeing more Steel Sparrows in Blue Star is just around the corner... Qiao Sang felt a strange sense of happiness for Steel Treasure.
Then, she sensed Steel Treasure's joyful emotions.
So, familiars can still hear voices during evolution... Qiao Sang concluded.
"Steel Chief!"
The white light faded, and the transformed Steel Treasure spread its wings with vigor, looking refreshed and invigorated.
A powerful airflow surged forth.
Qingbao, who happened to be within the range of the airflow, was forced to reveal itself, its appearance disheveled.
Just as it prepared to use its wind strength to counter the airflow, its Beastmaster stepped in front of it.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao, seeing its Beastmaster's back, was taken aback for a moment, a glint of gratitude in its eyes.
This position is better for admiring Steel Treasure's evolved form... Qiao Sang was satisfied as she gazed at the evolved Steel Treasure.
Flauda began his examination.
This time, after a minute, Steel Treasure shrunk back to its Steel Sword Falcon form.
Evolution, devolution, evolution, devolution... This process repeated several times before Flauda finally finished his inspection.
While packing up his equipment, he said, "Steel Sword Falcon's Royal Tier form has significantly enhanced defensive strength. Once its Royal Tier form stabilizes, let me know, and I'll send over the Royal Tier Energy Pills."
Pausing, Flauda added, "By the way, the turbine devices on the sides of Steel Sword Falcon after evolution are a weak point. Remember not to let the opponent knock you down in the middle of the turbine devices during matches or training. The defensive strength there is much weaker, and it will suffer direct heavy damage."
"Understood."
"Steel Blade."
Qiao Sang and Steel Treasure nodded simultaneously.
"Approximately when will the Energy Pills be ready?" Migala asked.
"A week", Flauda replied without hesitation. "Let me know where to send them when the time comes."
"Send them to the Beastmaster Center here", Migala said.
"Alright", Flauda nodded.
Migala turned to Qiao Sang and asked, "Do you need to use the bathroom?"
Qiao Sang hesitated, then shook her head, "No."
Migala smiled, "Good. It's time for you to go."
Before Qiao Sang could react, her vision went dark.
When it cleared again, she found herself standing in front of a building with sleek, flowing lines that exuded both a high-tech appearance and a sense of solemnity and grandeur. The sign above the entrance read, "Zhitiya Ghost-Type Ninth Research Institute."
Qiao Sang: "..."
Honestly, this efficiency is a bit excessive...
Then she thought of something and called out, "Meimei?"
Silence.
It seems Pengamei has already left...
"Pei pei."
Just as she was thinking this, Pengamei's voice sounded from the air.
"Xun xun~"
Treasure Seeker immediately translated, telling her to go in and that it would wait outside to send her back.
With an Imperial Beast escort, this is quite an honor... Qiao Sang said, "Thank you", and walked confidently toward the entrance.
Apart from the closed windows of the security room, a two-meter-tall familiar with a purple skull head was floating in the guard position.
Qiao Sang glanced at the Ghost-Type Beast Companion with the purple skull head and decided to knock on the security room's window.
The window was opened from inside, and another purple skull head poked out, calling out irritably, "Ou ou?"
Qiao Sang: "..."
She gathered her courage and said, "I would like to see Doctor Zhang Taisheng."
The purple skull head looked puzzled and called out, "Ou ou?"
"Do you not recognize me?" Qiao Sang asked tentatively.
"Ou ou." The purple skull head shook its head.
"Then do you recognize it?" Qiao Sang brought over Treasure Seeker.
"Xun xun~" Treasure Seeker blinked and deliberately flicked its unmasked golden hair.
"Ou ou." The purple skull head shook its head again.
Treasure Seeker: "..."
Qiao Sang: "..."
Great, I didn't anticipate that the research institute's entrance would be guarded entirely by Ghost-Type Beast Companions, with no humans around.
There's no way I can get into this research institute.
Qiao Sang glanced at Treasure Seeker's dejected expression and decided to give it one more try: "Can you help me contact Doctor Zhang Taisheng? Tell him that someone named Qiao Sang is here to see him."
Pausing, she added, "I'm this year's Hollow Plains Tournament champion. I want to discuss another possibility for Ghost-Type Beast Companion evolution with him."
The purple skull head scrutinized Qiao Sang for a moment, then pulled its head back inside and opened a holographic screen, muttering, "Ou ou, ou ou."
The holographic screen then closed, and it pressed a button somewhere.
The gate opened. (End of Chapter)
