Chapter 228: Diligence Can Make Up for Lack of Talent
Chapter 228: Diligence Can Make Up for Lack of Talent
Treasure Seeker couldn't stand it anymore and appeared to translate.
"Xun."
"Xunxun."
Only then did Qiao Sang realize that Aquariana was asking about Fangy.
"When did you two become so close?" Qiao Sang asked.
In her memory, Aquariana had always disliked Fangy. Even if they hadn't fought recently, Aquariana would turn her head away whenever she saw Fangy, as if she couldn't bear to look at him.
Now, just because Fangy wasn't around, Aquariana had noticed and was concerned about his whereabouts. This was unusual...
"Lulu!"
"Lulu!"
"Lulu!"
Hearing Qiao Sang's words, Aquariana's expression froze, and her fur bristled. She emerged halfway, agitated and gesturing wildly, as if she had been severely slandered.
Qiao Sang, frightened, quickly soothed her in a low voice, "I know, I know. You can go back now; people are starting to look."
She had just asked out of curiosity, but why such an intense reaction...
Aquariana's body retreated, but her head remained outside, her deep eyes staring at Qiao Sang.
"Lulu..."
"Xunxun~" Treasure Seeker translated at the right moment.
Good grief, she was still asking about Fangy... Qiao Sang recounted the events of the day at school.
One minute later.
"That's why we need to go to the Beastmaster Center to get Fangy treated", Qiao Sang said.
"Lulu!"
Aquariana, after listening, called out seriously.
Before Qiao Sang could guess what Aquariana was saying, Treasure Seeker, with keen insight, began translating.
Qiao Sang was taken aback and asked, "Are you saying you can treat Fangy?"
"Lulu!"
Aquariana nodded vigorously.
Qiao Sang recalled a piece of information she had seen online about Aquariana.
["It's said that even if it's missing limbs, as long as the gem on its head glows, nothing is irreparable."]
With all the recent events, she had almost forgotten that Aquariana was a super Healer...
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Qiao Sang said earnestly.
"Lulu!"
...
Back home, Qiao Sang summoned Fangy.
Fangy, under the effect of the Beastmaster Codex, had already regained consciousness, though he was still injured and in poor condition.
"Tooth!"
Fangy wagged his tail happily at his Beastmaster as soon as he appeared.
Before he could wag much longer, a blue light enveloped his body.
"Tooth, Fangy."
Fangy looked blissfully comfortable.
Qiao Sang watched in amazement as Fangy's wounds healed visibly within seconds, taking no more than five seconds.
A Divine Skill!
If she bonded with Aquariana, their chances of survival in the Hidden Realm would skyrocket.
Once the treatment was over, the blue light on Aquariana's forehead faded. Seeing Fangy looking at her, she blushed, her ears perked up, and she darted off to the courtyard.
Qiao Sang was puzzled, "What did you do to offend her again?"
Fangy tilted his head, looking bewildered.
He had no idea either.
...
After dinner, Qiao Sang returned to her room to do her homework.
Being a student meant not having to worry about food or clothing, but she still often felt miserable, mainly because of the daily homework.
Fortunately, Qiao Sang had experienced the transition from student to working adult before, so she had no resentment about doing homework.
Only those who had experienced the life of a corporate drone could truly appreciate how fortunate the student years were.
Qiao Sang focused on the problem in front of her.
The Beast Trainer Society's high school curriculum, regardless of the subject, was closely tied to familiars.
For example, the math problem she was working on:
["Team A and Team B are participating in a Beastmaster team battle competition, using a best-of-seven format. Team A's home and away schedule is 'home, home, away, away, home, away, home.' The probability of Team A winning at home is 0.6, and the probability of winning away is 0.5. Each match is independent. What is the probability of Team A winning 4-1?"]
Qiao Sang focused intently and quickly answered the questions.
By now, she had a good enough understanding of the Beastmaster world to avoid the confusion she felt when she first arrived.
Back then, she would have spent a long time just trying to understand the words "Beastmaster group battle competition."
After some time, a blue claw suddenly appeared on top of the worksheet.
Qiao Sang was startled and turned to see Aquariana.
"How do you manage to appear like a Treasure Seeker, so stealthily?" Qiao Sang said, clutching her chest.
"Lulu", Aquariana replied with a serious expression.
Seeing Aquariana's expression and the sudden visit, Qiao Sang stood up in excitement.
"Did you find a familiar you like on your mobile phone?!"
Aquariana's expression froze, and then a thin Water Jet shot directly at Qiao Sang's face.
Qiao Sang: "…"
If not, then not. Couldn't we just communicate properly? Why the water spray… Qiao Sang wiped her face and called out, exhausted, "Treasure Seeker!"
"Seek~"
Treasure Seeker teleported directly into the room.
"Be a translator", Qiao Sang said.
"Seekseek~" Treasure Seeker nodded.
With Treasure Seeker's translation, Qiao Sang finally understood Aquariana's intention.
"You want to learn new Skills?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Lulu."
Aquariana nodded.
Qiao Sang looked thoughtful.
Indeed, in Aquariana's mind, the path to becoming stronger involved Evolution and learning new Skills. It didn't know that its time was limited…
Thinking about this, Qiao Sang felt a pang of sympathy and said, "Alright, let's go to the Courtyard. Show me the Skills you know, and I'll think about what new Skills would be good for you."
"Lulu."
...
In the Courtyard.
Qiao Sang, Fangy, and Treasure Seeker watched Aquariana by the pond.
Aquariana opened its mouth, and dozens of transparent bubbles floated out.
"Bubble Beam..." Qiao Sang wrote down, holding her paper and pen.
Soon, another Water Jet shot out.
After the Water Jet, Aquariana flicked its tail, and a stream of water enveloped it.
Then it dispersed the water from its tail, stomped its front paws, and a Water Mist filled the air.
"Water Jet, Aqua Tail, Water Mist..."
After recording the Skills Aquariana had demonstrated, Qiao Sang noticed it had stopped and said, "Keep going."
Aquariana blinked.
Qiao Sang paused, a bad feeling rising in her chest. She hesitated, "You... don't only know these four Skills, right?"
Aquariana was not pleased by this. Was it being criticized for having too few Skills?!
It raised its head and proudly pointed to the azure gem on its forehead with its claw.
"…Yeah, impressive, and you also have a Healing Spell."
Looking at the proud expression on Aquariana's face, Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.
She never expected Aquariana's abilities to be so limited.
Seven years.
On the brink of the end of its life, it only knew five Skills…
Treasure Seeker knew five from the day it was born…
"Lulu?"
Aquariana, noticing the human staring at it without speaking, tilted its head in confusion.
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then said, "It's fine. Diligence can make up for lack of talent. I believe in you."
Aquariana: "???"
