Chapter 1054: Familiar? Familiar Trainer?
Chapter 1054: Familiar? Familiar Trainer? (Combined)
How daring! It actually climbed into Lulu's water tank! Qiao Sang's expression changed, and she exclaimed, "No..."
She rushed forward, intending to carry away Thunder Dragon.
However, Thunder Dragon was first lifted away from the water tank by an invisible force.
"Ice Emperor..." Lulu sighed with relief.
" Ting Ting? "
Thunder Dragon turned its head to look at Fangy, whose eyes were glowing with blue light.
" Ya Ya. "
Fangy placed Thunder Dragon on the ground, her eyes returning to their original color. She shook her head at it.
" Ting Ting... "
Thunder Dragon stared at Fangy for a moment, then, taking advantage of her distraction, turned and quickly crawled back toward the water tank.
But it was picked up again after just a few steps.
"Lulu doesn't like others entering its water tank", Qiao Sang said, holding Thunder Dragon.
" Ting Ting... " Thunder Dragon's tail drooped, but it wasn't clear if it had understood.
"Lulu, give it an ice block", Qiao Sang said, looking at Lulu.
"Ice Emperor." Lulu called out, opened her mouth, and released a burst of extreme cold.
The chill quickly condensed, forming a block of ice about fifty centimeters in size.
" Ting Ting! "
Thunder Dragon's eyes lit up. It jumped down from Qiao Sang and lay on the ice block, rubbing against it and refusing to leave.
"This Thunder Dragon is quite easy to understand", Migala said with a smile.
Some familiars, without a bond, can be very difficult to understand their intentions and thoughts.
"Since it hatched, I've always kept it with me", Qiao Sang said, sitting on the sofa as the crisis was averted.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Qingbao used Wind Transformation to open it.
At the door stood a familiar about a meter tall, almost entirely pale pink, with a small curl on its head, white ID Bracelet and Miniaturization Band on its claws, and a pair of rimless glasses.
Fulutian Tian, a General King-Class Familiar, was very gentle and disliked battle. Even when bullied, it would usually just cry. It excelled in healing skills and was filled with love, evolving through the strength of the bond... Qiao Sang recalled the information about the familiar in front of her.
"Are you Jacqueline's Fulutian Tian?" Migala asked.
"Fu Lu." Fulutian Tian walked in, closed the door considerately, and nodded with a smile.
It exuded an intellectual aura.
I can't believe I see intellect in a familiar... Qiao Sang couldn't help but reflect.
"Where's Jacqueline?" Migala asked.
"Fu Lu." Fulutian Tian pointed to the mobile phone on the table.
The phone then vibrated with a new message.
Migala picked it up, glanced at it, and then put it down, saying to Qiao Sang:
"Jacqueline Teacher suddenly had something come up and sent Fulutian Tian to help get the Energy Pills formula."
On the starship, Flauda had already teleported over the formula for Thunder Dragon's Energy Pills.
It seems they are making the Energy Pills directly based on that formula. I almost thought we would have the Familiar Trainer check Thunder Dragon again once we arrived at Flame Sky Star. After all, it has developed quite a bit over the past one and a half months... Qiao Sang felt a bit disappointed and was about to ask Treasure Seeker to take the formula out of the Ring.
However, Migala continued, "She also said that Fulutian Tian has attained a B-Rank Familiar Trainer certification and can help check Thunder Dragon's current condition."
Fulutian Tian, B-Rank Familiar Trainer? Qiao Sang looked utterly bewildered.
Familiar? Can they become Familiar Trainers too? And even a B-Rank one?
"Fulutian." Fulutian Tian nodded with a smile.
Migala seemed to know she would be confused and explained, "In Flame Sky Star, familiars can also obtain certificates to become Familiar Trainers or caretakers. Since they are familiars themselves, they can communicate better with other familiars and often find it easier to obtain these certificates compared to humans."
"Vangy."
Fangy and Steel Treasure were equally stunned.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker floated beside Fulutian Tian, curiously examining the scene.
Damn, familiars can become Familiar Trainers? If Treasure Seeker stays in Flame Sky Star for a long time, there's no worry about it not being able to become a Familiar Trainer... Qiao Sang's thoughts churned, and she couldn't help but think about Treasure Seeker's Intelligence.
Steel Treasure is more Intelligent in some aspects than Treasure Seeker, but unfortunately, it can't read. The path to becoming a Familiar Trainer is long and arduous.
"Steel Chief..."
Steel Treasure sensed the sarcasm in its mind and glanced at its Beastmaster.
Qiao Sang also sensed Steel Treasure’s thoughts, her body stiffened momentarily, but she quickly recovered, pretending she hadn’t sensed anything. She then said to Fulutian Tian:
"Since you are a B-Rank Familiar Trainer, you can certainly help with the examination. I'll leave Thunder Dragon to you."
"Fulutian."
Fulutian Tian nodded, then turned its gaze to Thunder Dragon, who was hugging an ice block, and walked over.
Thunder Dragon, still holding the ice block, looked up at it without moving.
"Fulutian."
Fulutian Tian extended its claws and gently stroked Thunder Dragon’s head.
An invisible sound wave spread over Thunder Dragon’s body with its voice.
"Thunder!"
Thunder Dragon’s eyes instantly shifted from stranger to friend.
"Fulutian."
Fulutian Tian called out with a smile.
"Thunder..."
Thunder Dragon hesitated but eventually climbed down from the ice block.
Fulutian Tian took out a portable examination device and began the inspection.
Goodwill Wave, a Skill that can make the target feel friendly towards the user for a short time... No wonder it’s a B-Rank Familiar Trainer. It knows exactly how to get Thunder Dragon to cooperate... Qiao Sang reflected, then turned and asked:
"Treasure Seeker, why don’t you consider becoming a Familiar Trainer?"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker was initially stunned, then quickly shook its head.
It had no interest in becoming a Familiar Trainer. That required learning, and it didn’t want to learn.
Treasure Seeker’s body radiated rejection.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang decided not to press the matter.
She had only mentioned it casually. Becoming a Familiar Trainer requires a lot of effort, and Treasure Seeker needed to accompany her to the Interstellar Cup and train regularly. There simply wasn’t enough time to learn the necessary skills.
Migala chuckled and said:
"Speaking of which, there are quite a few schools for familiars in Flame Sky Star. If you’re busy and can’t train them, you can let Night Ring King and the others stay at school."
"Xunxun!"
At these words, Treasure Seeker felt as if the sky was falling. It floated to its Beastmaster’s side, grabbing her sleeve and shaking its head tearfully.
It didn’t want to go to school!
Qiao Sang looked at Treasure Seeker with a mix of exasperation and amusement and said:
"Skipping school is fine. The Familiars are usually quite self-disciplined with their training, and with you, Teacher, around, there’s no need to go to school."
Most importantly, this is Flame Sky Star. They didn’t know how long they would stay or where they would go next. If they were on Blue Star, and there was a similar Familiar school, she would be willing to have Treasure Seeker attend occasionally.
"Xunxun~" Treasure Seeker didn’t know its Beastmaster’s true thoughts, but it understood it didn’t need to go to school. It wiped away its tears and happily rubbed against its Beastmaster’s arm.
Steel Treasure silently turned away, unable to look.
Migala felt relieved and changed the topic.
"Most of your Familiars have reached the Royal Tier. The Beastmaster Center, with its many people and Familiars, is no longer suitable for training. Tomorrow, we’ll look for a house and move to a new place."
Qiao Sang was taken aback. "Buy one directly?"
Migala glanced at her. "Rent."
That made sense. Even if they stayed for a few years on Flame Sky Star, renting would be more cost-effective than buying... Qiao Sang nodded. "Alright."
As they talked, Fulutian Tian finished its inspection and looked over, calling out:
"Fulutian."
"Xunxun~"
Before Qiao Sang could ask, Treasure Seeker floated over, took off the Ring, and pulled out the recipe Flauda had given them, handing it over.
"Fulutian."
"Fulutian."
Fangy translated immediately.
It said the recipe was perfect and didn’t need any changes.
Fulutian Tian carefully read through the recipe, then looked up and called out.
"Ya Ya."
"Ya Ya."
Fangy continued translating.
It would take the recipe back to its Beastmaster, who would complete the Thunder Dragon Energy Pills in about five days and send them over.
"Ya Ya, Ya Ya."
Fangy helped with the translation.
"Thank you for the trouble", Qiao Sang said.
"Fulutian." Fulutian Tian smiled and called out, preparing to leave.
At this point, Migala asked, "What happened to your Beastmaster?"
On any planet, if someone of Imperial Class needed help, the Imperial Beastmaster Academy would assist immediately unless there was something extremely important. It was unusual for a Familiar to be sent in such a situation.
However, she prioritized resolving the Thunder Dragon Energy Pills issue, as Qiao Sang’s attitude suggested a high possibility of bonding with the Thunder Dragon.
"Fulutian."
"Fulutian."
Fulutian Tian looked at Migala with hesitation, then called out twice, explaining the situation.
"Ya Ya."
"Ya Ya."
Fangy translated in real-time.
It said its Beastmaster had been recently approached by a wild beast companion who wanted her to make Energy Pills. However, the wild beast companion couldn’t offer the appropriate compensation, so its Beastmaster refused. The wild beast companion continued to bother her, and she didn’t want it to follow and disturb them, so she sent Fulutian Tian over.
Those two short "Fulutian" calls contained so much meaning... Qiao Sang reflected for a moment and said:
"Since that wild beast companion is so annoying, why not just make the Energy Pills or beat it up and drive it away?"
"Fulutian..."
Fulutian Tian sighed.
She couldn’t beat it.
"Ya Ya."
Fangy translated.
"Then just make the Energy Pills for it", Qiao Sang suggested.
"It’s not that simple", Migala said slowly. "Jacqueline is an A-Rank Familiar Trainer. Any Familiar that approaches her isn’t simple. If she could drive it away, she would have done so already. Making Energy Pills for it is even more impossible. On Flame Sky Star, wild beast companions have a well-informed network. If she sets this precedent, more wild beast companions will come to her."
Once, there was a Familiar Trainer who kindly made Energy Pills for a wild beast companion for free. Later, wild beast companions would come knocking on his door every day, wanting free Energy Pills, which greatly disturbed him.
I remember when I was at Flame Sky Star, I heard about a Beastmaster who won a battle competition. Many familiars wanted to bond with him. He once rejected a Poison-type Pet, saying he didn't consider bonding with Toxic-Type familiars. The news spread among the wild beast companions, and as a result, he was challenged by wild Poison-type Pets every time he went out.
"Fulutian."
Fulutian Tian nodded deeply, indicating that he agreed.
Even a single sentence can spread so quickly among wild beast companions; they are quite united... Qiao Sang thought to himself, looking at Teacher Mikara to see how she would handle the situation.
However, Mikara didn't say anything more.
"Fulutian", Fulutian Tian called, indicating that he was leaving.
"Ya Ya." Fangy translated.
Mikara nodded slightly.
Fulutian Tian left, closing the door behind him.
"Are you not going to help that Teacher?" Qiao Sang asked.
Mikara looked at him, somewhat surprised. "Why should I help her? It's not a big deal. It's just a wild beast companion. Jacqueline is a Teacher at our Imperial Beastmaster Academy; she can handle it."
That's true, Qiao Sang thought, feeling a bit disappointed. He had been curious to see what kind of wild beast companion could force an A-Rank Familiar Trainer to be unable to leave. He glanced over and noticed that Thunder Dragon was lying on the ice again.
"Go to bed early tonight. We'll go look at the house tomorrow", Mikara said as she stood up.
"Understood", Qiao Sang replied.
...
The next day.
10:00 AM.
Qiao Sang and Mikara arrived at a villa, guided by the Navigation.
A thick fog enveloped the area, with thin, gossamer-like mist slowly drifting around the villa.
"Teacher, is this the place?" Qiao Sang asked.
This morning, Teacher Mikara had looked at several houses for rent on the platform, and this was the third one.
"Yes", Mikara replied.
Qiao Sang looked at the clearly visible buildings nearby and asked, "Why is there so much fog here?"
"The one living here is a Zedagai", Mikara explained. "This type of familiar likes to live in foggy places year-round. Even if there is no fog, it will often spray mist to create a sense of mystery, so even when it appears in front of people, it will remain in the fog, avoiding direct sight."
As she spoke, a shadowy figure about a meter tall appeared in the mist.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, causing the mist to scatter and disperse.
The clarity increased, and everything became clear.
The shadowy figure, about a meter tall, was now in full view.
Its body was mostly blue, with slightly sparse fur, and it was wearing shorts. It was using its claws to pull up the shorts that had been caught between its buttocks.
The familiar froze in the act of pulling, looking over in a daze.
"Zedagai!"
The familiar in shorts seemed to be frightened, suddenly screaming and running back into the villa.
After the door closed, mist poured out from the door crack, once again enveloping the entire villa.
"Qingqing?"
Qingbao appeared, looking puzzled.
Mikara paused for a moment and continued, "Even when it appears in front of people, it will remain in the fog, not wanting to be seen directly."
Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao.
"Qingqing~" Qingbao looked at its Beastmaster, showing an innocent expression.
At that moment, Mikara's mobile phone vibrated.
She took it out, glanced at it, and then put it down, saying softly:
"The Zedagai has refused to rent the place. It's asking us to leave."
