Chapter 194: Visual Sharing
Chapter 194: Visual Sharing
Once it was confirmed that Crown Cat had only been under Hypnosis, the transaction of familiar for money went very smoothly.
Qiao Sang, feeling elated after seeing the payment confirmation, became more talkative.
"Why doesn't your Crown Cat want to practice Farting?"
This question had been bothering Qiao Sang for a while. If a familiar practiced Farting, they could potentially learn Teleportation, a skill that offered a surefire way to profit. She couldn't understand why any familiar would refuse to learn it.
Wang Yiding, holding Crown Cat, was taken aback. "How did you know about that?"
"Remember, you called me this morning?" Qiao Sang said. "Yesterday, Crown Cat went to the Heng Eagle Beast Combat Club and asked me to be his sparring partner."
"Ah, it was you!" Wang Yiding exclaimed. "You look about my age, but I didn't expect you to be able to be a sparring partner."
Qiao Sang smiled but didn't say anything.
"By the way, why did you hang up on me this morning before I finished talking?" Wang Yiding asked.
Qiao Sang paused before answering, "My signal was bad."
Wang Yiding: "..."
That reason sounded so familiar...
"You still haven't answered why Crown Cat doesn't want to practice Farting." To avoid further scrutiny, Qiao Sang smoothly steered the conversation back to the topic.
After all, this man had just given her a million in a substantial payment. If he found out she might be the reason Crown Cat ran away, he might demand the money back...
Wang Yiding felt a bit embarrassed.
If the person on the other end were a man or an online friend he couldn't see, he would have used every curse word he knew to vent about practicing Farting.
But the person was a girl, and a pretty one at that, who looked about his age. Discussing Farting with her seemed too crude...
"Maybe Crown Cat thinks that practicing Intestinal Exercises to learn Teleportation is too silly. It's also my fault for believing what I read online", Wang Yiding explained.
Too silly... Fangy's body stiffened, having just learned Teleportation using that method.
Qiao Sang tried to persuade him, "You haven't even had it practice. How do you know it won't learn Teleportation from Intestinal Exercises?"
Wang Yiding shook his head. "Even if it could, it wouldn't do it. It ran away, and I realized it wouldn't do anything that's undignified and ungraceful."
Undignified and ungraceful... Fangy's body stiffened even more.
Noticing Fangy's discomfort, Qiao Sang recalled that Fangy was also a creature who cared about his image, though sometimes he seemed a bit scatterbrained and didn't always connect everything to his dignity.
She couldn't continue this conversation...
"By the way, what's the name of that familiar? I don't think I've seen it before", Qiao Sang said, glancing at the medium-sized blue bird familiar nearby to change the subject.
Wang Yiding hesitated but answered, "It's from the Lianke Region. It's called a Sightbird and can do Visual Sharing."
Visual Sharing?
Qiao Sang was taken aback and turned to examine the Sightbird's eyes closely.
Treasure Seeker, hidden nearby, also leaned in curiously to take a look.
The Sightbird's body tensed, feeling an inexplicable gaze. It was so unnerved that it didn't dare move.
Qiao Sang quickly noticed that the bird's pupils emitted a faint blue light, though it was so weak that one might mistake it for the natural color of its eyes.
At the same time, a hundred meters above Qiao Sang's head in the sky.
A man and a woman were riding a Flying Beast, wearing monitoring devices in their ears. Their eyes glowed the same color as the Sightbird's pupils.
The man, dressed casually, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
"Look at the son you’ve raised. He answers whatever others ask and even spills the beans on things they didn’t ask about. How can he be so stupid?"
They only asked what his familiar’s name was, but he went ahead and even mentioned Visual Sharing.
The woman with her hair coiled up behind him was not pleased: "So, you’re saying he’s mine, and you have nothing to do with it? Besides, he got into Holy Water High School, which you never did. If he’s so stupid, what does that make you?"
The man retorted, "Why do you always bring up the past? I had to work my way through school and relied on self-study. He has a 24/7 private tutor at home and barely made it into Holy Water High School. And even after bonding with a Crown Cat, he still didn’t make the School Team. He didn’t inherit a single bit of my talent."
The woman rolled her eyes and said, "I already asked about it. The people in the School Team are only preliminary selections. Most of them are Special Recruitment Students and Direct Admits."
"As long as he can prove himself in the official selection, he can join the School Team."
The man sighed, "He even believes those ridiculous online rumors, like how farting can train teleportation. How can he possibly beat the people in the School Team?"
The woman said softly, "Isn’t that just like you? You believed your online girlfriend had cancer and transferred all your savings to her, only to find out she was married and a man."
The man coughed awkwardly, "Why do you always bring up the past? That’s different. I was innocent, he’s just stupid."
The woman sneered, "Wang Weiye, you’ve been complaining about your son being stupid. If that’s the case, I’ll keep the son, and you can leave."
The man: "…"
Qiao Sang had no idea that her simple question nearly sparked a family dispute.
...
That night, Qiao Sang lay in bed, too excited to fall asleep.
She couldn’t believe that a simple trip to buy a Refresh Elixir not only netted her 1 million coins but also helped Treasure Seeker learn Shadow Control.
She never dreamed of such a thing, let alone something as grand as advancing to the Interstellar Cup.
Qiao Sang turned over and looked at Treasure Seeker, who was still wearing his Virtual Helmet, diligently learning new skills. She felt a sense of pride.
Although Treasure Seeker had learned Shadow Control, there were still other Skill Disks. She decided not to interfere with his choices and let him study whatever he wanted.
If anyone ever said that playing with a Virtual Helmet was a waste of time, she would be the first to argue against it.
Is this playing?
This is learning!
Fortunately, Treasure Seeker didn’t know what his Beastmaster was thinking, or he might have spent the entire night in the Virtual Helmet.
Qiao Sang watched Treasure Seeker for a while, then opened her mobile phone to search for information about the Sightbird.
She quickly found what she was looking for.
[Sightbird, brown eyes, Trait: Visual Sharing. When active, the eyes turn blue and can transmit visual images to the intended recipient. The higher the Trait Level, the more people it can transmit to simultaneously.]
Brown eyes, blue when active... Qiao Sang felt a sense of confirmation.
No wonder she felt something odd about the Sightbird’s eyes at the time. It seemed someone was using its Trait to monitor the 1 million coin transaction.
Qiao Sang didn’t have strong feelings about it, just thinking that bonding with a Sightbird in the future might be a good idea.
This kind of auxiliary ability might not be very useful in battle competitions, but it would definitely enhance survival chances in the Hidden Realm...
It’s already 11 PM. If you can’t wait for the update, you’ll have to read it tomorrow morning...
