Chapter 1036: The Dean Wants to See You
Chapter 1036: The Dean Wants to See You
Finally, there was a lead, and Qiao Sang felt a wave of drowsiness. She glanced at the sky outside the window, put down her book, and lay down to catch some sleep.
“Xunxun……”
The Treasure Seeker picked up the book that the Beastmaster had put down, flipped to the page about the Cloak Totem, and sighed.
It couldn’t really be that guy, could it……
Royal Tier; I can’t beat it……
Thinking about this, the Treasure Seeker felt unusually downcast, put the book down, and sighed deeply again.
If only I were Royal Tier too……
……
When Qiao Sang finally awoke, it was already 9:30 in the morning.
“Since there’s no match today, Fangy and the others aren’t feeling any urgency, so they didn’t wake me up……”
She freshened up, went to the living room, and found the Treasure Seeker in the kitchen, its eyes glowing with blue light, using Psychic Control to wash the dishes.
“Why are you being so diligent today?” Qiao Sang approached, her face filled with surprise.
“Qingqing.”
Before the Treasure Seeker could answer, Qingbao called out from the living room, indicating that the Treasure Seeker had also mopped the floor, cleaned the windows, and gone to training today.
“Fangy”
Fangy burped contentedly, nodded, and added its own call.
When it woke up today, the Treasure Seeker had already prepared its food.
Qiao Sang was visibly shocked.
Is this still the Treasure Seeker?
“Xunxun~”
The Treasure Seeker turned its head, grinned, and called out, indicating that it had read online that when one’s energy is high, more activity is needed to better absorb it.
A few hours apart, and I see a completely different person!
Qiao Sang praised, “Good job. Keep washing the dishes and get rid of that extra energy sooner.”
“Xunxun!”
The Treasure Seeker was greatly encouraged, nodded, and washed even more enthusiastically.
Qiao Sang simply toasted a piece of bread, poured a glass of milk, and sat down at the table. She took out her mobile phone and searched for news about the Cloak Totem.
Just as the page loaded, her phone vibrated, and a call came in.
Caller ID: Teacher Mikara.
Qiao Sang answered, saying, “Hello.”
“Where are you now?” Migala asked.
“Home,” Qiao Sang replied.
“Address.”
“Bosai Manor 101.”
“I’m coming over.”
With that, the call ended.
A few seconds later, Migala appeared in the living room.
Qiao Sang, unfazed, asked, “Teacher, have you eaten? Do you want to join me?”
“Already eaten,” Migala said, coming to the table and sitting opposite her. He got straight to the point, “I’ve already contacted the teacher at the Artifact Academy. After you finish eating, we’ll go there, and you can tell him your requirements for the artifact you want to make.”
This efficiency is incredible…… Qiao Sang reflected internally and nodded, “Alright.”
Then she thought of something and asked, “How many credits will this cost?”
“It depends on the teacher’s mood,” Migala said. “Don’t worry, you’re an Imperial Class student, so he’ll give you a discount.”
Qiao Sang felt relieved, took a bite of her bread, and refocused on her mobile phone.
“Also, about Ghost Ring King,” Migala’s gaze fell on the Treasure Seeker, who was still washing dishes in the kitchen. “Its energy levels are fluctuating. I’ve contacted Flauda and arranged for him to check Ghost Ring King’s energy daily. Since you’re already in Eagaria, you can go directly to the school to find him. I’ve already set up the time for 1 PM. I won’t be accompanying you there.”
This is what it feels like to not have to worry…… Qiao Sang nodded vigorously, “Understood.”
“However,” Migala’s tone shifted, “given Ghost Ring King’s current condition, it would be best to monitor its energy levels 24/7. I suggest it stays with Flauda for the time being.”
“Xunxun!”
The Treasure Seeker, hearing this, panicked and called out from the kitchen, indicating that it didn’t want to go.
Migala, seeing the situation, asked, "Is Ghost Ring King unwilling?"
"Xunxun!" Treasure Seeker nodded in the kitchen.
It still wanted to catch Cloak Totem!
Qiao Sang "hmm"ed and helped translate:
"It says it wants to catch Cloak Totem."
"Cloak Totem?" Migala was a bit puzzled.
"It's the Ghost Ring King that's wanted", Qiao Sang explained. "I'm starting to suspect that it might be Cloak Totem transformed into a Ghost Ring King."
"Why?" Migala asked.
"I thought about it, and it seems more reasonable that a familiar with Transformation abilities turned into Treasure Seeker's appearance rather than there being a Ghost Ring King that looks exactly like Treasure Seeker", Qiao Sang explained. "When I first came to Eagaria, I saw news about a wild Cloak Totem emerging from a Mystic Rift. Later, when we were going to the airport, Treasure Seeker lost an accessory..."
She rambled on, explaining her suspicions in detail.
Migala listened and nodded slightly, "Your analysis makes sense, but it's a Royal Tier Psychic Pet with Transformation abilities. How do you plan to find it?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Treasure Seeker in the kitchen and said rationally:
"Ghost Ring King is a General-Class Beast Companion. Even if you find Cloak Totem, it won't be able to do much. It would be better to have it tested for energy at Flauda's lab."
"Xunxun!"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker teleported over, grabbed Qiao Sang's sleeve, and shook it vigorously.
No way! It wanted to catch Cloak Totem with Fangy and the others! Don't listen to this human!
Qiao Sang coughed and said, "You gave me a deadline to find that 'Ghost Ring King.' Treasure Seeker can teleport and use Spatial Shift, making it easier to find Cloak Totem. I bought a Real-time Energy Monitor that Treasure Seeker can wear for continuous energy detection. If the energy level reaches the upper threshold, I'll take it to Teacher Flauda for a more detailed check."
"Or we can test it at home; I also bought the most expensive energy detector."
The Real-time Energy Monitor can detect a familiar's energy in real-time, but it only provides a rough range. For precise measurements, more sophisticated equipment is needed.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker nodded vigorously.
Exactly, exactly.
Migala listened and didn't say anything more, tacitly agreeing to the plan.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker understood and happily floated back to the kitchen, continuing to use Psychic Control to wash the dishes.
Steel Treasure, at some point, poured a cup of hot water and silently placed it in front of Migala.
"Thank you", Migala said, took a sip, and changed the topic:
"There's one more thing I need to tell you. The Dean wants to see you."
Qiao Sang was taken aback, "Dean Theresa?"
Migala looked at her, "Who else would you expect to be the Dean?"
Qiao Sang quickly clarified, "I didn't mean it that way. I just don't understand why the Dean wants to see me."
Migala smiled, "Probably to meet the youngest B-Class Beastmaster and the legendary familiar, Clear Hidden Sprite. It's a good thing."
She smiled even wider:
"It's an opportunity. You can ask her for credits."
Qiao Sang was stunned again, "Will the Dean give them to me?"
"Just ask when the time comes", Migala said, pausing to add:
"If she asks why you want the credits, don't say I suggested it."
Qiao Sang: "…Alright."
