Chapter 170: I'm Here to Post a Mission
Chapter 170: I’m Here to Post a Mission
The night was deep and quiet.
Qiao Sang, after washing up, leaned against the bed with damp hair and began to examine the Beastmaster Codex, her gaze pausing on a few lines.
Name: Flame Listener
Level: Intermediate (1255/10000) +
Points: 1656
Fangy had been battling Aquariana every day, earning a 50-point bonus each day. Today, after defeating two Ghost Familiars, Fangy gained an additional 470 points.
It seems that defeating a higher-ranked familiar grants around 200 points.
"Wait, wasn't the Level value only 1205 yesterday?"
Qiao Sang stared at the Level value, taken aback. The last time the value had spiked was when Fangy defeated the Scale Controller.
That battle was brutal, and Fangy gained an additional Blazing Trait, which boosted the value by 30 points.
This time, although Fangy faced two higher-ranked familiars, the battle was far less intense compared to the fight with the Scale Controller. The fact that Fangy barely got injured was the best proof.
So why did the Level value increase by 50 points?
Could it be due to the Mental Power breakthrough?
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and flipped to the next page.
Name: Treasure Seeker
Level: Junior (329/1000) +
Points: 20
Qiao Sang was a bit puzzled.
Treasure Seeker's Level value, while not increasing as much as Fangy's, still rose by 10 points more than usual.
That shouldn't be the case. If Fangy's increase was due to the Mental Power breakthrough, what could have caused Treasure Seeker's increase?
Qiao Sang replayed the events of the day in her mind, analyzing them silently.
The scene froze on the afternoon when she fed Fangy and Treasure Seeker Energy Pills.
Ah, the Energy Pills!
Qiao Sang suddenly realized.
Feeding familiars Energy Pills is a method to enhance their various attributes, which explains the increase in Level value.
It seems that most of Fangy's additional value was indeed due to the Mental Power breakthrough.
"Who would have thought that taking Energy Pills would grant more points than wearing Artifacts daily? Being a Beastmaster really does depend on money..."
Qiao Sang couldn't help but sigh. She currently bought only E-Rank Equipment for her familiars.
If she had the money to buy S-Rank Equipment for Fangy and Treasure Seeker, they would surely make significant progress given their potential.
As Qiao Sang's consciousness exited the Beastmaster Codex, she noticed a small puddle of water on the floor.
The water was slowly flowing toward where Fangy lay.
Just as it was about to reach Fangy, Qiao Sang said, "Hey, I remember Fangy didn't attack you today, Aquariana."
The puddle of water froze, instantly stopping its flow, then silently flowed toward the door as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Sang: "..."
"Wait." Qiao Sang called out.
The water form of Aquariana, for some reason, really did stop.
"Treasure Seeker, milk", Qiao Sang turned to Treasure Seeker.
"Seek~"
Treasure Seeker, who was practicing Psychic Power with a coin, put down its glowing blue claws and spread its paws.
It wasn't hungry yet.
Qiao Sang's eyes twitched. "I didn’t ask you to drink it yourself."
"Seek..."
Treasure Seeker blinked, removed the Ring, and took out a bottle of milk, floating it over to Qiao Sang.
“Yesterday I had some business to attend to and forgot to leave the milk for you. Did you get hungry?” Qiao Sang got out of bed and placed the milk in front of Aquariana.
Aquariana, in her liquid form, stood still for a few seconds, not taking the milk, and then turned to flow out through the door crack.
“Tsk, didn’t expect you to be so stubborn.”
Qiao Sang sighed as she watched the water flow out.
For the past few days, she had been placing milk by the pool every day. At first, the milk remained untouched, but in the following days, she noticed that the bottle cap had been opened when she returned from school.
Although the amount of milk inside hadn’t decreased, when Treasure Seeker tasted it, it turned out to be diluted with water.
…
The next day.
In the living room.
Qiao Sang and Fangy looked at each other. After a moment, both the human and the beast nodded solemnly.
Then, a Flame Listener identical to Fangy appeared beside it.
The next second, Fangy and its clone walked toward the courtyard.
Qiao Sang followed behind, feeling a mix of anticipation and excitement. Although yesterday in the chamber, Fangy’s clone and the original could simultaneously release different skills, what if it was just a fluke?
After all, some things can only be achieved under certain conditions, but might not work under normal circumstances.
For example, in her previous life, a female classmate at her school had never passed the running test. To help her pass the physical exam, her father trained her by placing a wolf dog behind her.
The girl instantly became like Liu Xiang, surpassing her limits and running an astounding time, even declaring that she would become a female Liu Xiang and represent the country in the Olympics, posting about it on social media.
But on the day of the school's physical exam, without the wolf dog, she failed again and immediately set her social media post to visible for only three days.
In the courtyard.
The two Flame Listeners stood with serious expressions, assuming the same posture.
Then, the Flame Listener on the left opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, while the one on the right’s eyes glowed blue and focused on the milk held by Treasure Seeker.
The next second, the fangs of the Flame Listener on the left were instantly enveloped in scorching flames.
At the same time, the milk held by Treasure Seeker suddenly flew up and began circling the courtyard continuously.
“Success!”
Qiao Sang was overjoyed. Although she had a feeling Fangy would succeed, seeing it happen was a different experience altogether.
“Fangy! You…” Qiao Sang looked at Fangy with excitement, noticing that Fangy was also looking at her with the same excitement.
Her heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling a bad premonition.
“Wait…” Before Qiao Sang could finish, Fangy, with a look of excitement, pounced on her, knocking her to the ground.
Her premonition came true…
“Fang!”
“Fang Fang!”
Fangy wagged its tail happily, licking its Beastmaster’s face, completely unaware that it was suffocating her.
On the other side, Treasure Seeker used Psychic Power to catch the milk that had lost control, checked to ensure it wasn’t missing, and then calmly continued drinking.
In the pool, Aquariana watched everything with one eye half-open.
…
2:12 PM.
Beastmaster Center.
Third-floor Task Hall.
Qiao Sang, having just registered, was about to find a seat when she spotted a familiar face.
A short haircut, thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a wheat-colored complexion—none other than Shi Gaofeng from the Sophomore Year School Team.
“What a coincidence, are you done with your mission too?” Qiao Sang walked up and greeted him.
To her surprise, Shi Gaofeng took a step back, looking around nervously.
Seeing that no one else was nearby, he let out a sigh of relief and said, “What a coincidence. Why are you here? Didn’t you already complete your mission?”
Noticing his odd behavior, Qiao Sang didn’t press the issue and replied, “I’m here to collect my reward. The mission issuer left it at the Beastmaster Center. What about you?”
Shi Gaofeng hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’m here to post a mission.”
