Chapter 1126: "True Dai"
Chapter 1126: "True Dai" (Combined)
In a private spa room.
Qiao Sang, Migala, and Fangy were lying face down. Beside them, three blue toad-like creatures in work uniforms were using Short Toe to massage various acupoints on their backs. Each press sent a wave-like ripple from their fingertips to the back, creating a soothing and refreshing sensation, as if the acupoints were being Purified.
"Fangy."
Fangy had her eyes closed, a look of comfort on her face.
In the spa pool nearby, Treasure Seeker, Lulu, Steel Treasure, Qingbao, Thunder Dragon, Xialala, Pengamei, and Dragon King were comfortably soaking in the water.
"The water in this spa pool is infused with Holy Coral, which helps restore energy, beautify the skin, and strengthen the body. Fangy, don't you want to try it?" Kang Yang asked, sitting on a sofa.
He didn't know the familiar's species name but called it by the name Qiao Sang used.
"No, thanks." Qiao Sang said, enjoying the massage. "It doesn't like being in water."
"Fangy."
Fangy mumbled in agreement, confirming her words.
Kang Yang, hearing this, didn't press further. He then remembered the reason for his visit and asked, "Senior, what did you need to ask me?"
"Do you know where the True Dai Bird's territory is?" Migala asked, getting straight to the point.
True Dai Bird? Kang Yang thought for a moment and replied, "I do know, but I'm not sure if you're looking for the True Dai Bird itself or the place where the True Dai Bird flock lives."
This was it? Qiao Sang perked up, her ears standing straight, eagerly awaiting the conversation to continue.
Migala said bluntly, "I need True Fire Crystals, so I need to find the True Dai Bird."
Kang Yang was silent for a moment before sighing, "The True Dai Bird flock is easy to find, but the True Dai Bird itself is currently not with the flock."
Migala looked at him, gesturing for him to continue.
"Currently, there are only two True Dai Birds in the flock", Kang Yang explained. "One is bonded to a Beastmaster and is no longer within the Dragon Nation's territory. There's been no news about it for a long time, so we don't know if it's still on Flame Sky Star. The other is said to be traveling around, seeking its destiny, in an attempt to break through to the Noble Rank."
Traveling around, seeking destiny... The familiars on Flame Sky Star are just like people, Qiao Sang thought, unable to resist asking, "How do you know so much about this?"
Kang Yang smiled, "True Dai Birds are rare in the Dragon Nation. It's not a secret that a Beastmaster raised one. The other True Dai Bird has a social media account and occasionally posts pictures of its life there."
Qiao Sang was taken aback, trying to connect the Imperial Beast True Dai Bird with a social media account.
Migala pondered for a moment and said, "Having a social media account is good. We can try to contact it through that account."
Kang Yang waved his hand, "I doubt the True Dai Bird would respond to random private messages."
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and suggested, "Can we use a Mechanical Pet to directly locate the True Dai Bird's position?"
"Probably not", Kang Yang replied. "Mechanical Pets are rare on Flame Sky Star, and even if there are any, their levels and functions are not powerful enough. The True Dai Bird uses a social app called 'Yu Shi.' If it has privacy protection enabled, it can't be located."
He paused and added, "Unless there's a Mechanical Pet as powerful as a Wheel Cel on Flame Sky Star, but unfortunately, there isn't."
On Flame Sky Star, humans and familiars live together. Beastmasters usually deal with familiars, and there are many options. Therefore, people generally focus on how to build relationships and bond with wild beast companions, rather than creating and bonding with Mechanical Pets.
Qiao Sang had learned about this situation before coming to Flame Sky Star but hadn't expected it to be so difficult to find a Mechanical Pet that could locate someone.
Suddenly, Kang Yang thought of something and added, "However, Flame Sky University might have such a Mechanical Pet."
Migala didn't respond.
Although the Imperial Beastmaster Academy and Flame Sky University were on different planets, they were always in competition. If she asked for help from Flame Sky University, it would likely cause a stir and comparisons. She instinctively ruled out this option.
Migala thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know the general location of the True Dai Bird now? A rough location would be fine."
Kang Yang took out his mobile phone, checked for a moment, and said, "The True Dai Bird last updated its social media a month ago. At that time, it was in Flame Rock Valley. It's been a month, so it's probably not there anymore."
He then spoke more respectfully, "If you can wait, give me some time, and I'll find out for you."
Migala had no objections, "I'll wait for your good news."
She then asked, "Are there any interesting places in the Dragon Nation?"
Qiao Sang glanced at Teacher Migara.
Kang Yang was taken aback, not expecting such a question. He then enthusiastically listed famous attractions one by one.
Migala listened patiently, occasionally asking if a particular place was suitable for Grass-Type Companion Beasts.
Kang Yang answered each question.
After the two had discussed the topic for a while, Qiao Sang asked, "What's the True Dai Bird's ID on Yu Shi?"
"Its ID is 'I Am Fire,'" Kang Yang said.
I Am Fire... Qiao Sang thought of the Imperial Beast and fell silent.
...
It was 7:10 PM.
After dinner, Fangy and the others went to the Open Training Ground for training.
Qiao Sang remembered what the tenth seat had said and didn't go to meditate in her room or watch Fangy and the others train as usual. Instead, she sat on the sofa, downloaded Yu Shi, and searched for the username "I Am Fire."
As she was searching, she suddenly felt a gaze and looked up.
Thunder Dragon was staring at her intently.
Qiao Sang, sensing Thunder Dragon's meaning, said, "You forgot? The tenth seat said that to break through my brain domain faster, I need to rest well."
"Tingting..."
Thunder Dragon remembered this and, though it didn't understand what the tenth seat meant, it believed in its authority and turned to crawl toward the Open Training Ground.
"Momo?"
Dragon King looked at her with a burning gaze, calling out.
Fangy and the others were training, so Qiao Sang looked at Teacher Migara for help with translation.
However, Migala was talking to Xialala and didn't notice.
"Do you want to go out and play now?"
"Xiaxia." Xialala shook her head.
"Really? I know a place nearby that's especially fun at night. There are glow moths, and their powder might help you grow faster."
"Xiaxia." Xialala shook her head again.
"Why? Don't you like going out to play? Didn't you come with us because you wanted to explore?"
"Xiaxia."
Xialala pointed at Qiao Sang, indicating that the tenth seat said she should follow Qiao Sang and not go out alone.
Migala followed Xialala's gaze and noticed Qiao Sang looking at her.
Qiao Sang said softly, "Teacher, I don't understand what Dragon King just said."
Meaning, please translate quickly.
Migala looked at Dragon King.
"Momo?"
Dragon King, with patience, repeated what it had just said.
Migala was taken aback and translated, "It's asking if the tenth seat also gave you advice on how to break through your brain domain quickly."
She couldn't help but ask, "The tenth seat gave you advice on this?"
Qiao Sang nodded, "Qingbao asked for me. It wanted the tenth seat to help me break through my brain domain quickly. The tenth seat said..."
She repeated what the tenth seat had said.
Upon hearing this, Dragon King's gaze became even more earnest.
To receive guidance from the tenth seat, Qiao Sang must be truly exceptional!
Migala, after listening, was shocked and bewildered. She confirmed, "The tenth seat really said your brain domain has already loosened?"
Qiao Sang nodded, "Yes."
Migala's confusion deepened.
After all, it had only been a few months since Qiao Sang's brain domain had reached 50% breakthrough. Even with the boost from the Mystic Black Ram, which brought it to 59%, that had been two months ago. How could 59% of the brain domain loosen in just over two months?
Is this possible?
Migala thought for a moment, her expression returning to normal.
A Divine Rank familiar possesses incredible abilities. Perhaps the Mystic Black Ram had already loosened the constraints when it helped Qiao Sang’s Brain Domain break through to 59%.
But it’s just loosened, not fully broken through...
Despite her thoughts, Migala’s tone still carried a hint of complexity.
“Then listen to the tenth seat and get plenty of rest lately…”
Qiao Sang nodded and hummed in agreement, lowering her head to check the content the True Dai Bird had posted.
Most of it was photos, with very few videos. The captions were mostly emoji icons, with no text.
The most liked content was a video where the True Dai Bird called out “Dai, Dai” with a serious expression, facing the camera.
From the comments, it wasn’t hard to guess that this post was about the True Dai Bird’s intention to travel and seek opportunities to break through to the Noble Rank.
Qiao Sang finished viewing all the content and immediately gave up on the idea of sending a private message.
She had initially wanted to contact the True Dai Bird to see if it would notice and reach out to her, but it seemed the True Dai Bird couldn’t read...
“Xunxun~”
As she was thinking, Treasure Seeker had somehow come over.
“Why aren’t you training?” Qiao Sang asked, turning her head.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker spread its claws and looked at her with bright eyes, calling out to indicate it wanted to use the mobile phone.
“What do you need the mobile phone for?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker sighed and called out, indicating it still wanted to do missions. The Bloodpurifier Fruit from the tenth seat would take over a year to ripen, and it didn’t want to wait that long to earn 1000 credits.
The mobile phone is the only thing that keeps you so diligent… Qiao Sang thought, then remembered something and handed over the phone, saying:
“This account called ‘I Am Fire’ belongs to the True Dai Bird. If you can help me contact it, I’ll give you 100 credits.”
Although Senior Kang Yang had said he would help, compared to waiting an uncertain amount of time, she still wanted to try finding it herself.
The Yu Shi app was designed to allow familiars to download and play, integrating voice comments for ease of use.
The True Dai Bird never typed, and occasionally replied to netizens with voice comments from other familiars. Contacting it directly seemed unlikely, but Treasure Seeker might have a chance.
“Xunxun?!”
Treasure Seeker’s eyes lit up with excitement, calling out.
100 credits?!
Qiao Sang smiled. “That’s right.”
Anyway, if she did manage to contact it, the 100 credits wouldn’t come out of her pocket; she could just deduct it from the already nonexistent 1000 credits.
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker’s expression became serious, calling out to indicate it would definitely complete the mission. It then took the mobile phone with both claws.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but laugh.
Then she remembered what the tenth seat had said and looked at Xialala, asking, “Do you want to go for a walk in the garden?”
“Xiaxia!”
Xialala nodded happily.
Qiao Sang got up and took Xialala to the garden.
Migala watched from behind, falling silent.
…
As a former internet-addicted familiar, Treasure Seeker was quite adept at using various apps. After a brief study, it knew how to use Yu Shi.
“Xunxun~”
“Xunxun~”
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker sent voice messages to the “I Am Fire” account.
After sending three private messages, a message appeared:
[You can only send three messages until the other party replies or follows you.]
Treasure Seeker fell silent, trying one more time, but the fourth message was marked with a red exclamation mark, indicating a failed send.
“Xunxun…”
With no other choice, Treasure Seeker started sending voice comments under the True Dai Bird’s previous posts.
Unfortunately, it received no response after sending messages for a while.
“Xunxun!”
“Xunxun…”
“Xun…”
Treasure Seeker’s initial enthusiasm gradually waned, and it eventually slumped on the sofa, its eyes dull.
“Qingqing?”
At this moment, Qingbao floated into the living room from the outdoor training ground, stretching out its claws and calling out.
Treasure Seeker, with dull eyes, took off the ring and mechanically pulled out an Energy Recovery Serum to hand over.
“Qingqing?”
Qingbao drank the Energy Recovery Serum in one go, looking puzzled and calling out, asking what was wrong.
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker lay on the sofa, explaining the task its Beastmaster had given it with lifeless eyes.
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao’s expression showed that it thought it was no big deal, calling out and indicating it would take the mobile phone to contact the True Dai Bird.
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker’s eyes lit up again, handing over the mobile phone.
Qingbao took the mobile phone, fell silent for a moment, then called out:
“Qingqing?”
How do I contact it?
Treasure Seeker: “…”
Treasure Seeker fell silent for a moment, then started teaching Qingbao how to send voice comments.
After some instruction, Qingbao finally understood how to use it.
“Qingqing.”
“Qingqing.”
It cleared its throat and started sending voice comments.
However, it received no response after sending messages for a while.
“Qingqing…” Qingbao’s forehead started to sweat, but it continued to send messages under Treasure Seeker’s watchful gaze.
“Qingqing.”
“Qingqing.”
“Qingqing.”
“Xunxun…”
After a long time, Treasure Seeker slumped back onto the sofa, calling out, indicating that Qingbao couldn’t do it either.
“Qingqing…”
Qingbao had no energy to argue.
“Ya Ya?”
Fangy walked in at that moment, calling out and asking what was wrong.
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker sat up, looking pitiful, and called out.
“Qingqing…”
Qingbao sighed heavily, nodding in agreement with Treasure Seeker.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy called out, indicating that getting the True Dai Bird to meet wasn’t hard. It jumped onto the sofa, sat down, and stretched out its claws.
Qingbao handed over the mobile phone.
Seeing that Big Brother Yabao was helping, Treasure Seeker’s hopes were renewed.
“Ya Ya?”
But the next moment, Fangy called out, asking how to contact it.
Treasure Seeker: “…”
Qingbao: “…”
Treasure Seeker had to teach it again.
“Ya Ya.”
After listening for a while, Fangy finally understood how to operate it and nodded.
Then, it pressed the “hold to talk” button and called out:
“Ya Ya!”
Do you have time to meet? Let’s have a fight.
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker sighed upon hearing this.
That won’t work.
“Fangy”
Fangy reflected.
Doesn’t that work?
If someone else said that to it, it would definitely come out to fight.
Just as Fangy was pondering what to say, a red number 1 appeared in the message bar.
Treasure Seeker’s eyes lit up, and it called out:
“Xunxun!”
Then, it took the mobile phone and opened the message.
The chat box with “I Am Fire” had a new message.
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker called out excitedly.
“Qingqing.”
“Ya Ya!”
Qingbao and Fangy also became happy.
Treasure Seeker opened the message, which was a voice clip.
When it played, a voice full of disdain came through:
“Dai.” (End of Chapter)
