Chapter 242: Tracking Mission
Chapter 242: Tracking Mission
For the next half month, the training continued to repeat itself.
The time was not long, but the progress was significant.
During this period, Fangy honed Flame Fang to the peak of Mastery. Although he didn't specifically practice Shadow Clone, he used it every time he trained his skills, which brought Shadow Clone to the Perfection level.
At the Perfection level, Fangy could summon 35 Shadow Clones.
This greatly improved the efficiency of his subsequent skill training.
After finishing the training for Flame Fang, thanks to the 35 Shadow Clones and Energy Pills, Fangy quickly reached Perfection in Blazing Charge and is now rapidly advancing toward Mastery.
Despite lacking the Golden Finger, Aquariana, through diligent training, has become proficient in Water Spray. She can now control its direction with ease, hitting her target every time.
The one who made the most progress was Treasure Seeker. On the third day after signing up for the Sports Meet, Treasure Seeker learned Substitute through the Virtual Helmet. The very next day after changing the disk, it learned Taunt.
When Qiao Sang learned that Treasure Seeker had mastered Taunt in just one night, she was genuinely shaken.
The fact that Treasure Seeker could learn Taunt so quickly indicated that it had a natural talent for this skill.
Qiao Sang could only console herself by thinking that while Taunt is an effective skill for drawing attention, it also has a significant impact on disrupting opponents.
Final verdict: use it sparingly!
With the addition of Substitute, Treasure Seeker's progress in Hypnosis improved dramatically. Hypnosis, already at the Mastery level, is now at Perfection, and reaching the next level of Mastery should be a matter of this week.
Training in Tile Split has also progressed from being unable to split a single tile to now splitting three at once.
Although it's still far from the true Tile Split, if the familiars participating in this event aren't all combat types, Qiao Sang feels that Treasure Seeker has a good chance of securing the second-to-last position.
Qiao Sang put down her pen and reflected on the recent training results, realizing that she herself had made little progress.
Her classes were manageable, but compared to her classmates, who had a foundation as solid as the earth beneath their feet, she felt no significant improvement.
She has been practicing meditation both early in the morning and late at night, and she can feel her brain domain expanding bit by bit.
However, without a specific device to test her brain domain, she has no idea how far her Brain Domain Development has come.
With meditation, she has felt her mind becoming much clearer, especially after learning that Treasure Seeker had mastered Taunt.
From that day on, any noise in the middle of the night would wake her up. Several times, she woke to find Treasure Seeker laughing hysterically at its mobile phone.
At such moments, she envied Fangy, who could sleep through anything and even drool in his sleep.
Not long after putting down her pen, Qiao Sang's mobile phone vibrated on the desk. She picked it up and leaned against her bed to check it.
Someone had @-mentioned her in the chat group.
【Wang Yao: @Qiao Sang, how's your mission going?】
Qiao Sang pursed her lips and replied:
【Where do I have the time? The homework is piling up.】
This was Qiao Sang's second mission. Thinking about the mountain of homework she had each day, she chose a simple one.
Although the mission's deadline was extended from five to seven days due to her classes, it was still difficult for a high school student who had to do homework every day after school to find the time.
【Shi Gaofeng: Why don't you take a leave? Doing missions is a legitimate reason to skip class, and you're missing out on such a good opportunity!】
【Wang Yao: Shut up, Qiao Sang isn't like you.】
Qiao Sang was shocked by the message. Could there really be such a good thing?! She immediately typed a reply:
[Would the Class Teacher approve a leave request for this reason?]
[Shi Gaofeng: Hahaha, look at you asking that. I knew we were cut from the same cloth!]
[Shi Gaofeng: Of course the Class Teacher would approve. Who can say no to us being part of the School Team?]
[Wang Yao retracted a message]
[Shi Gaofeng: @Wang Yao, if you have the nerve to send it, you should have the nerve not to retract it!]
[Wang Yao: Why can't I retract my own message?!]
[Wang Yao: By the way, did you complete your mission after taking three days off?]
[Shi Gaofeng: .]
Qiao Sang silently closed the chat group.
She began to ponder the feasibility of taking leave.
To be honest, she had quite a bit to do.
She definitely needed to check the progress of her brain domain's development. While Energy Pills from Aquariana were hard to customize, she could at least buy a jar of the general Energy Pills for Water-Type Beasts.
And there was the mission.
Thinking about the mission gave Qiao Sang a headache.
She had taken the mission on a weekend, thinking it would be convenient since it was close to home. However, when she called the mission poster, he said he was out playing and would be back in a couple of days.
Those two days turned out to be a Monday, when she had to go to school, and the mission was delayed.
If she waited until the next weekend, he might go out playing again, and she was afraid she would get a negative review.
With this in mind, Qiao Sang decisively took out her mobile phone and called the Vice Principal.
The next day.
Qiao Sang arrived at the mission location, 68 Jingquan Street.
It was only three streets away from where she currently lived, even closer than her school, Holy Water High School.
The man who opened the door had a head of messy, disheveled hair, as if he had just emerged from the darkness and was still adjusting to the light. He squinted his eyes.
Seeing Qiao Sang, who was still carrying her school bag, he frowned and said, "Why are you so young?"
"Does your mission have an age restriction?" Qiao Sang asked.
The man was taken aback. "No, it doesn't."
"Then why don't you hurry up and let me in", Qiao Sang said, looking at him expectantly.
The man seemed to realize his mistake and scratched his head. "Come in, then."
Qiao Sang took off her shoes and walked in. The room was dimly lit, with the curtains drawn.
The man sat down on the sofa in the living room and asked, "You know about the mission. How do you plan to handle it?"
Qiao Sang, sitting beside him, didn't hesitate. "Either beat the person up so they won't do it again, or report it to the police."
The mission was simple in a way, but also tricky.
The mission poster claimed that someone was following him and wanted the issue resolved. There were no requirements for familiarity level or attributes, and it was close to her home, so Qiao Sang had taken it.
The man crossed his legs and said, "I'm a public figure, so I can't report it to the police."
Qiao Sang gave him a closer look, surprised. "Are you a celebrity?"
The man's lips twitched. "Not exactly."
"Oh." Qiao Sang replied.
Seeing the indifferent reaction of the girl in front of him, the man couldn't help but add, "I'm an internet celebrity."
"Oh."
"I have over a million followers!"
My followers are three times that, Qiao Sang thought sarcastically. "Let's get to the point. Do you know who's following you?"
"I don't know", the man answered.
"How did you discover someone was following you?" Qiao Sang asked.
"I could feel it as soon as I went out. Someone was always following me", the man paused, then added, "I didn't see them, but I trust my intuition. The feeling was very strong."
Bold, knowing someone was following him, yet still going out to play the past few days.
"How long have you had this feeling?" Qiao Sang asked.
The man thought for a moment. "About a week."
"I see", Qiao Sang stood up. "Let's go out now."
The man was taken aback. "Go out? Why?"
Qiao Sang, exasperated, said, "If you don't go out, how can anyone follow you, and how can I catch them?"
As if on cue, there was a knock on the door. "Hello, is anyone home? I'm here for the mission."
Qiao Sang: "???"
