Chapter 156: Energy Pills
Chapter 156: Energy Pills
Qiao Sang didn't head to the Beastmaster Center to claim her reward right away. Instead, she went home.
Once back in her Familiar's room, she collapsed into bed, her eyelids heavy from a sleepless night.
She had barely closed her eyes for a minute when Qiao Sang felt like she had forgotten something. After a while, she struggled to get up and plugged in her mobile phone to charge.
Now she could finally sleep in peace...
It was 3 PM when Qiao Sang awoke. She felt completely refreshed, the air seeming fresher, and she had no desire to linger in bed.
She got up and freshened up.
After washing up, Qiao Sang suddenly noticed that Treasure Seeker, who usually spent 23 out of 24 hours with her, was nowhere to be found.
That was odd...
Qiao Sang closed her eyes and focused.
With her Beastmaster Codex now having two pages and her brain domain developed to over 10%, she could sense Treasure Seeker as long as it was in the house.
The page of her Beastmaster Codex dedicated to Treasure Seeker glowed blue, and various fragmented images flashed through her mind.
In the next moment, the fragments assembled into a complete picture.
The background was the courtyard, with a grayish-yellow figure.
It was in the courtyard...
Qiao Sang opened her eyes and headed to the courtyard. There, she saw Treasure Seeker staring intently at something on the ground.
As she approached, she noticed nine ants neatly lined up on the ground.
Qiao Sang was taken aback. Didn't Treasure Seeker usually prefer playing with new and interesting things? Had its tastes changed?
"Hey..." Qiao Sang turned to ask, but then she saw Treasure Seeker's eyes turn purple as it stared unblinkingly at the ants.
Qiao Sang was stunned. Was it practicing Hypnosis?
Unlike Fangy, Treasure Seeker wouldn't train its Skills unless prompted. It might find the initial training sessions interesting, but it would quickly lose interest if it had to practice the same Skill for a long time.
It was like a student who didn't like studying, either fidgeting or dozing off whenever the teacher wasn't looking, unable to focus.
Qiao Sang found it incredible that Treasure Seeker was now training its Skills on its own, even when she wasn't around.
Could something have happened that she didn't know about?
Qiao Sang recalled the events of the day. The only time Treasure Seeker was out of her sight was when it was under Hypnosis, dreaming of something she didn't know.
It must have been the dream, she concluded.
"Treasure Seeker, what did you dream about today during Hypnosis?" Qiao Sang poked the focused Treasure Seeker.
She hadn't asked before because she wasn't particularly interested in the dream.
To be honest, she was a rational person. She could guess what had happened between the Old Lady and the Ghost Lantern without much thought.
After finding the Ghost Lantern, she had a vague idea of what would happen, but she hadn't dwelled on it deeply.
However, the change in Treasure Seeker now piqued her curiosity about the dream.
"Xun!"
Treasure Seeker was completely engrossed in practicing Hypnosis and was startled by her sudden question.
The purple glow in its eyes faded, and it turned to see its Beastmaster. It happily floated up to her head, habitually tugging at her hair.
"Xun!"
Qiao Sang reached out and gently took it down. "You haven't told me what you dreamed about during Hypnosis today."
Treasure Seeker paused, then floated in the air and vividly described the dream.
After Treasure Seeker finished, Qiao Sang hesitated and asked, "So, you're training so hard now to evolve quickly and give me the benefits of your evolution?"
"Xun!"
Treasure Seeker nodded seriously.
Qiao Sang was silent, feeling genuinely moved. Who would have thought that such a small creature could think so much?
She reached out and stroked Treasure Seeker's head, feeling a sense of relief. "Work hard, but evolving seven or eight times should be enough."
Treasure Seeker was taken aback. Seven or eight times...
"Xun!"
It clenched its paw and held it to the side of its face, indicating that it was ready.
In the next second, Treasure Seeker suddenly thought of something and vanished with a Teleport. When it reappeared, it was holding a book.
"Xun xun."
Treasure Seeker handed the book over.
Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment. She looked down and was stunned.
Overbearing Champion Falls in Love with Me.
This was the book Jin Fanfei had lent her when they were boarding at school. It wasn’t that she had asked Jin Fanfei for it; rather, Jin Fanfei had suddenly appeared with the book to improve their relationship.
Back then, seeing Jin Fanfei’s nervous expression, she hadn’t refused.
She flipped through a couple of pages, finding it a typical cliché, and thus put the book aside.
She had completely forgotten about this book, but now, Treasure Seeker had found it and was seriously handing it to her...
Qiao Sang looked at the book in silence for a few seconds, then looked up and asked, "You want me to read this?"
"Xun!"
Treasure Seeker nodded earnestly.
"Why?" Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.
"Xun."
"Xun xun."
Treasure Seeker began to explain.
It had learned in a dream that for a Beastmaster to receive feedback, besides the familiar’s Evolution, they needed to read more books to develop their brain domain.
Qiao Sang was taken aback, "So you’re giving me this book to help me develop my brain domain?"
"Xun."
Treasure Seeker nodded.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Maybe it was time to teach Treasure Seeker how to read...
"By the way", Qiao Sang put the book aside and changed the subject, "What did Old Lady say at the end?"
What had piqued her curiosity was what Old Lady had said last, as it was clearly that statement that had changed Ghost Lantern’s mind.
"Xun xun."
"Xun xun."
Treasure Seeker paused, then repeated, "Don’t save me, Lantern God. This is my final wish."
Qiao Sang fell silent. A wish, huh...
...
Treasure Seeker wanted to stay in the courtyard to continue practicing Skill releases. Although its motivation for training was different from Fangy’s, the goal of improvement was the same.
Qiao Sang formed the seals with both hands and summoned Fangy.
"Ya!"
Fangy appeared and immediately became excited at the scene around it.
Although it didn’t know why it had appeared at home, being at home was great! It could move around freely!
Seeing Fangy’s energetic appearance, Qiao Sang recalled how she had been unable to wake it up earlier in the morning.
She suddenly felt like tapping its head...
Fortunately, she restrained herself. Qiao Sang then asked Treasure Seeker to bring out the two jars of Energy Pills.
She had high hopes for these Energy Pills, which was why she was willing to spend so much money on them.
Each familiar naturally had different tastes.
Energy Pills not only satisfied the familiars’ tastes but also purified and condensed energy into crystals. Depending on the formula, they could help familiars advance in specific areas, building a perfect foundation.
Previously, she had let Fangy and Treasure Seeker drink ordinary milk and eat simple energy meals. This was the first time she was giving them specialized Energy Pills.
"Taste it", Qiao Sang took one pill from each jar and placed them in front of Fangy and Treasure Seeker.
"Ya!"
Fangy didn’t bother to look closely. Trusting its Beastmaster, it immediately lowered its head and swallowed the pill.
As soon as the Energy Pill entered its mouth, Fangy’s body trembled, and its eyes lit up.
"Ya ya!"
It looked at Qiao Sang and wagged its tail happily.
It wanted more!
Treasure Seeker, on the other hand, was much more cautious. It looked at the black, shiny Energy Pill and then at Fangy’s reaction.
"Xun", Treasure Seeker sighed.
Big Brother Fangy never picky, eating anything, but it wasn’t the same for it. It just wanted to drink milk...
Treasure Seeker looked up at its Beastmaster’s expectant face, sniffed the pill hesitantly, and then tentatively licked it.
"Xun!"
