Chapter 1045: Spirit Sight Awakening
Chapter 1045: Spirit Sight Awakening (Combined)
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker’s body stiffened, and it turned to look at its Beastmaster, flashing a pleading smile and calling out, indicating that it wasn’t much, just a little more than what it would cost to rent a Neurocrack.
As it spoke, it brought its two Short Toes together, making a gesture to indicate “a little bit.”
Qiao Sang’s inner alarm bells went off, and she quickly grabbed her mobile phone, glancing at the mission’s details:
【Urgently need a familiar that can delete all online messages! All related messages must be deleted! Not a single one can be left behind! Search keywords must not appear again! If you can do this, my Beastmaster can immediately pay 18, no! 180 credits!】
【Absolutely no scams! Can pay a 90-credit deposit in advance!】
“180 credits!” Qiao Sang was shocked.
“Xunxun…”
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker called out twice, not very confidently, indicating that it had no choice. Only with enough credits could it quickly find a familiar that could delete online messages.
As Qiao Sang modified the mission content, she said with a pained expression:
“Do you know how much 180 credits is? It’s enough to have a Neurocrack work non-stop for 24 hours a day for ten days straight!”
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker turned around, silently facing away from its Beastmaster, wiping a tear and sniffing, sobbing as it called out, indicating that it just wanted to…
Before it could finish, Qiao Sang interrupted with another pained cry:
“You already gave them the deposit?”
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker’s hand paused as it wiped its tears, then turned to call out cautiously, indicating that it felt the person who accepted the mission was really good…
Calm down, calm down… Qiao Sang took a deep breath and prepared to contact the person to ask for a refund.
“Xunxun…”
At that moment, Treasure Seeker floated over, tugging at its Beastmaster’s clothes with eyes still brimming with tears, pleading with a call, indicating that this person was really good. It had seen the records, and their completion rate was 100%, and they were very efficient. Let them take the mission.
Seeing Treasure Seeker’s pleading look, Qiao Sang’s resolve wavered, and she hesitated to send the message.
Just then, a message came through from the backend:
【Reggie: Should I start working now?】
“Xunxun!”
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker looked at the message, its face lighting up with excitement. It shook its Beastmaster’s clothes and called out twice, indicating to let the person come quickly!
Qiao Sang looked at Treasure Seeker.
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker noticed its Beastmaster’s gaze and instantly switched from an excited expression to the pitiful look it had earlier.
Qiao Sang looked at Treasure Seeker, unable to stay firm. She typed a reply:
【The deposit you received is the full payment. Will you still come?】
The other side replied instantly: 【Yes.】
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker’s face lit up with excitement, and it started spinning, all traces of its previous pitiful look gone.
At the same time, a green mechanical claw emerged from the screen.
Soon, the entire shadow of the familiar emerged from the screen.
Almost entirely green, with two mechanical ears.
It was Neurocrack.
It can’t be the same Neurocrack that helped us before, right… Qiao Sang’s eyes twitched as she looked at the familiar. She fell silent for a few seconds, about to speak.
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker floated over, calling out excitedly.
It’s you!
“Reggie.”
Neurocrack smiled and nodded.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Heartache, unbearable heartache.
To be honest, if it had been any other familiar, she wouldn’t have felt this much pain.
But it just had to be the Neurocrack that could work 24 hours a day for only 18 credits!
“Why is your username different from before?” Qiao Sang asked, trying to suppress her heartache.
“Reggie.”
Reggie called out with a smile.
The extra credits really do make a difference. It didn’t smile like this even after 24 hours of work before… Qiao Sang reflected.
“Xunxun~”
As she thought, Treasure Seeker helped translate.
It said that Mechanical Pets like them, which can access the internet, can register accounts. The account used to accept this mission was its own.
So that's how it is... Qiao Sang thought to himself.
“Gugui?”
Neurocrack called out again, indicating it wanted to delete something.
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker quickly replied.
Neurocrack listened attentively.
Qiao Sang looked at Treasure Seeker, noticing it had returned to its usual energetic self. The pain in his heart eased a bit, and he got up to walk out the door.
Well, the credits are already given. I might as well let Treasure Seeker earn them back later...
...
The next day.
10:00 AM.
Imperial Beastmaster Academy.
In the hallway of the teaching building.
Treasure Seeker held a small mirror, happily admiring its post-Evolution appearance.
Ever since it discovered that there was no trace of the video or news about it being instantly killed by the Cloak Totem online, its mood had greatly improved.
“Stop looking, we’re here,” Qiao Sang said.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker put the mirror back into the Ring.
Qiao Sang knocked on the door of the Cultivation Chamber.
The door opened automatically.
Qiao Sang stepped inside.
Flauda looked at Treasure Seeker and remarked, “I didn’t expect your Ghost Ring King to evolve so quickly.”
Before Qiao Sang arrived, Migala had already told him about the Ghost Ring King’s Evolution, so he wasn’t too surprised to see the Night Ring King.
Then he thought of something and asked, “Did you ask me for a high-level Energy Absorption Elixir yesterday because you knew the Ghost Ring King’s energy was close to the General-Class limit?”
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker was taken aback.
Its Beastmaster had helped it find a high-level Energy Absorption Elixir?
It didn’t even know about that…
Qiao Sang explained, “Not really, I just wanted to try it out. After all, Treasure Seeker really wanted to Evolve at that time.”
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker looked at its Beastmaster with gratitude.
Flauda didn’t say anything more and smiled. “Let’s do the check-up.”
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker floated over and obediently cooperated.
Open your mouth, lie down, and flip your eyelids—whatever was asked, it complied.
After about five minutes, Flauda looked at the data displayed on the equipment and let out a soft “hmm,” his expression turning serious.
It seems the Dark Type has been detected… Qiao Sang feigned worry and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Yesterday, it took too long for Neurocrack to delete all the information, and he was still upset about the 90 credits, so he went to bed early and hadn’t had the chance to tell Treasure Seeker about the Dark Type and Trait Skills yet.
And as a Beastmaster, it was normal not to know about the sudden addition of attributes after a familiar’s Evolution without a professional check-up or the use of any related Skills.
Flauda rechecked carefully and then looked shocked and stunned. “It seems the Night Ring King has gained a Dark Type!”
“Xunxun?!”
Treasure Seeker floated up from the ground in surprise.
What?
Dark Type?!
“What? Dark Type? Really?” Qiao Sang pretended to be surprised and confirmed with a delighted look.
Steel Treasure silently glanced at its Beastmaster.
“Ya Ya?”
Fangy tilted its head, looking puzzled.
Can attributes suddenly appear like that?
“It definitely has gained a Dark Type!” Flauda said with certainty.
He looked at Treasure Seeker with a complex expression and continued, “This situation is extremely rare. I remember that a normal Night Ring King should only have the Ghost Type.”
Qiao Sang asked, “Is it because Treasure Seeker is a Variant?”
Flauda shook his head. “This has nothing to do with being a Variant.”
Qiao Sang asked again:
"Could it be that it absorbed too much negative energy before?"
"It's not related to that", Flauda said.
Pausing for a moment, he analyzed: "This can only be something inherent in its bloodline, which was fully activated when it evolved into a Night Ring King."
The Treasure Seeker's bloodline seems quite extraordinary... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker listened, wide-eyed and amazed.
It sounds like I'm really powerful...
Flauda seemed to remember something and said:
"We need to inform Teacher Migala about this."
With that, he pulled out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Can you come over? The Night Ring King is being examined, and I need to discuss its condition with you."
Within seconds, Migala appeared in the room, her expression serious as she asked:
"What's wrong with the Night Ring King? Is it so urgent that it needs to be discussed in person?"
She then gave Qiao Sang a look that said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Qiao Sang: "..."
"It has awakened a Dark type", Flauda said.
Migala: "???"
"Night Ring King has awakened a Dark type?" Migala asked, her face filled with disbelief.
As a professional Beastmaster, she had always focused on training her own familiar, unlike Flauda, who, in addition to his own familiar, often dealt with familiars from different countries and even planets, helping them with examinations, cultivation, and research. Her reaction was much more intense.
Familiars hatch from Beast Eggs with their attributes already determined. For one that has a set evolution chain and predetermined attributes at each stage to suddenly gain a new attribute at a certain stage was unprecedented.
"That's right. I've double-checked, and it indeed has gained a Dark type", Flauda nodded.
Migala looked at Treasure Seeker, her eyes filled with shock. She quickly regained her composure.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker, sensing the awe in Flauda and Migala's eyes, straightened its back and lifted its head higher.
Qiao Sang coughed and said with a tone of realization:
"No wonder the color of Treasure Seeker changed to black after evolving. It must be because of the Dark type."
Flauda nodded slightly:
"A familiar's attributes do indeed affect its color."
Migala was silent for a few seconds before she said slowly:
"I'll leave the Night Ring King's Energy Pills to you."
"You can count on me", Flauda said confidently. "I will definitely formulate the most suitable Energy Pills for it."
...
After leaving the Cultivation Chamber, Migala saw Treasure Seeker eagerly pulling out a mirror to look at itself and smiled:
"Your Night Ring King seems to be in a better mood now?"
Qiao Sang nodded: "Its mood is quite fickle. It was bad a moment ago, but it's good now."
She didn't want to mention the 90 credits she had spent on a bad deal.
Migala remembered the main issue and said:
"Your Night Ring King has awakened a Dark type, and it likely has also awakened skills related to the Dark type. During your time in Eagaria, study what skills your Night Ring King has awakened and try to get it to use them. If you have any problems, feel free to come to me."
"Understood", Qiao Sang nodded.
"Xunxun~"
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker put down the mirror and floated around happily.
Dark type~
Dark type~
Suddenly, Migala asked:
"Since Ghost Ring King has evolved into a Night Ring King, have you awakened spirit sight?"
Qiao Sang was taken aback: "I don't know..."
Then she thought of something and looked at Treasure Seeker, saying:
"Try to become invisible."
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker stopped, a puzzled expression on its face.
It's in Invisibility status right now.
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
So, she had already Awakened spirit sight? Qiao Sang felt a surge of joy, followed by a sigh.
"I've Awakened spirit sight, but I can't tell if a familiar is in Invisibility."
Migala smiled.
"That's a good thing. It means your spirit sight is at a high level. Most Beastmasters, when they first Awaken spirit sight, can only see a vague outline and not the specific appearance."
Qiao Sang asked worriedly:
"Will I see things I shouldn't in the future?"
Migala looked at her and asked with a smile:
"Are you afraid?"
Qiao Sang paused, then smiled.
"I don't seem to be afraid at all."
After staying in the Beastmaster World for so long, her courage was far greater than before.
...
Bosai Manor 101.
Open training ground.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker channeled energy.
Instantly, a semi-transparent barrier enveloped it and Steel Treasure.
At the same time, both Treasure Seeker and Steel Treasure emitted a blue glow, which quickly disappeared.
"This Oddospace can, for a certain period, swap your Defend and any Defend-related Traits", Qiao Sang explained from the side.
"Steel Blade."
Steel Treasure carefully felt it.
Treasure Seeker froze for a moment, then its eyes lit up as it looked at Fangy with a new, eager expression.
That was a look it had never given Fangy before.
"Fangy..."
Fangy seemed to understand Treasure Seeker's intention and took a combat stance, her Flame Wings becoming even more fierce.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker's body stiffened, and it turned to look at Lulu with an eager expression.
"Ice Emperor..."
Lulu emitted a visible chill aura.
Treasure Seeker's body stiffened again. It glanced at the massive Steel Treasure, weighed the pros and cons, and finally hooked its short toe at Qingbao, taunting with a call:
"Xunxun!"
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao, who had witnessed the entire process, veins popping on her forehead, summoned a fierce Gale around her.
The Gale howled, sweeping toward Treasure Seeker.
Treasure Seeker stood firm in the Gale.
"Xunxun~"
As the Gale dissipated, Treasure Seeker remained unharmed, displaying a "as expected of me" expression.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Qingbao is Advanced, and you're now Royal Tier. Even without swapping Defend with Steel Treasure, you wouldn't have been injured...
"Qingqing!"
Unable to tolerate Treasure Seeker's arrogant demeanor, Qingbao summoned an even more violent Gale.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang quickly signaled Lulu.
"Ice~ Ice Ice~ Ice~ Ice Ice~"
Lulu understood her Beastmaster and began to sing.
Invisible sound waves rippled out.
"Qingqing..."
The Gale dissipated, and Qingbao's expression gradually became calmer.
"We'll try another Skill now", Qiao Sang said.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker called out calmly.
What is it?
"Revenge", Qiao Sang explained.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker listened to the Skill name and nodded thoughtfully.
It liked the name.
"Revenge. Use this Skill before you are attacked, and it will return the damage of the last move you received to the opponent", Qiao Sang elaborated.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker understood.
It meant that it needed to be attacked first before using this Skill.
"Exactly", Qiao Sang nodded.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker looked at Fangy, Lulu, Steel Treasure, and finally settled its gaze on Qingbao again. (End of Chapter)
