Chapter 397: The People of the Ancient Fog Region Are Friendly (Third Update)
Deepsea Mantis Hotel.
It was breakfast time, and Qiao Sang was just about to head to the top-floor revolving restaurant when she heard a knock on the door.
“It’s me,” a slightly familiar voice called from outside.
Qiao Sang walked over and opened the door, revealing a man with dyed blond hair and a handsome face.
It was Professor Jiang, who had brought them here in the middle of the night.
“Professor Jiang, what brings you here?” Qiao Sang asked.
Jiang Xiu glanced inside, his gaze momentarily pausing on a familiar he had been dreaming of meeting. He then quickly averted his eyes, acting as if nothing had happened.
“The best time to have breakfast in Glacialia is before nine. I made some special Energy Pills and thought I’d bring them over to you.”
With that, he handed over three boxes he was holding.
Despite his outward composure, Jiang Xiu's inner thoughts were in turmoil:
“Damn! Damn! It’s Glacialia! Ahh! It just looked at me! No, no, I need to stay calm! The Glacialia species doesn’t like overly enthusiastic people or familiars when they first meet, I need to stay cool!”
To have gone out of his way to deliver them to her room... Qiao Sang took the boxes, moved by his gesture. “Thank you, Professor Jiang.”
“It’s my pleasure,” Jiang Xiu smiled.
After saying that, he didn’t leave but continued to look at Qiao Sang with a smile.
Qiao Sang understood and asked, “Would you like to come in and sit down?”
“Sure!” Jiang Xiu’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly stepped inside.
Each of the three boxes containing Energy Pills had a label with a familiar’s name. Qiao Sang placed them in front of Fangy and the others.
Fangy and the others took a bite, their eyes curving in satisfaction, clearly enjoying the taste.
While Lulu was engrossed in eating the Energy Pills, Jiang Xiu watched her intently, his expression tense.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang felt a sense of confirmation.
She asked, “Lulu, how does it taste?”
“Lulu.”
Lulu, who had been eating, lifted her face and gave a cool call, indicating it was acceptable. She then continued to eat.
As an A-Class Breeder, Jiang Xiu had some understanding of familiar behavior and vocalizations, but he couldn’t help asking:
“What did Glacialia say just now?”
Qiao Sang translated, “It said they’re very tasty.”
Lulu paused at this, then continued eating the Energy Pills without contradicting her.
Jiang Xiu’s expression was one of excitement, wishing he could go back and make a hundred more right away.
At that moment, his mobile phone rang.
Qiao Sang picked it up and glanced at the caller ID.
It was Xu Yixuan.
“What’s up?” Qiao Sang answered.
Xu Yixuan’s voice came through the speaker, “Have you had breakfast yet? Do you want to join me? I heard the breakfast here also includes Energy Pills for different types of familiars.”
Qiao Sang replied, “I haven’t had breakfast yet. I’ll head up soon, but Professor Jiang just brought over the familiars’ nutrition meals.”
“Ah?” Xu Yixuan immediately said, “Professor Jiang delivered them to your room? Then I’ll wait a bit before going up for breakfast, so I don’t miss him if he comes by.”
“Alright.” Qiao Sang hung up and turned to look at Professor Jiang.
He had empty hands, clearly not carrying any other boxes.
Damn, he had been so excited about seeing Glacialia that he had forgotten the Energy Pills for the others... Jiang Xiu, whose hearing had been enhanced, heard the conversation clearly. He stood up and said honestly:
“I’ll head out now. I forgot to bring the Energy Pills for the others and will go back to get them.”
Qiao Sang: “...Okay.”
...
At 10:30 PM, Qiao Sang was half-reclining against the headboard, holding her mobile phone and watching an interview video from the Ancient Fog Region.
In the video, a female reporter in a skirt was conducting random interviews on the street:
"Hello, do you know about the National Campus Beastmaster League?"
The interviewee was an elderly gentleman with gray hair, who responded proudly, "Of course I do. My grandson is participating in the National Campus Beastmaster League."
The female reporter's eyes lit up, and she became interested, "Could you tell me your grandson's name?"
"Liu Hengzhi", the old man replied.
The reporter continued, "What grade is your grandson in?"
"Junior year."
"Will you go to the venue to support him?"
"No."
"Why not?" the reporter was a bit confused.
"Because my grandson has already been eliminated."
The reporter was taken aback, just about to offer some comfort, when the old man looked into the camera seriously, "I will go to the venue, but I support Qiao Sang from the Yuhua Region! I would support her even if my grandson hadn't been eliminated!"
Five seconds later, the reporter stopped a girl in a school uniform and interviewed her:
"Do you know about the National Campus Beastmaster League?"
"Yes."
"Do you have a favorite contestant?"
The girl pulled the microphone close to her mouth and loudly said into the camera, "Go Qiao Sang! Go Glacialia! I'll support you both!"
"Thank you for the interview", the reporter quickly took back the microphone.
Next, she interviewed a well-dressed man with wire-rimmed glasses, who looked like a highly educated individual:
"Do you know about the National Campus Beastmaster League?"
"Yes, I support Qiao Sang", the man said before walking away.
Qiao Sang was enjoying the video when a message popped up:
[Xu Yixuan: Did you watch the video I sent you?]
Qiao Sang replied:
[I just saw half of it.]
[Xu Yixuan: I'll just tell you straight! All the interviewees in the Ancient Fog Region support you!]
Qiao Sang responded seriously:
"Really? I haven't finished watching it yet. I'll keep watching."
After sending the message, Qiao Sang continued to watch the interview video with a pleasant mood. The people in the Ancient Fog Region were friendlier than she had expected...
...
The next day.
9:24 AM.
On the Waterways, Qiao Sang sat on the Seasalt Lizard and asked, "Professor Jiang, are you really free today?"
Jiang Xiu smiled, "Taking care of you all is my top priority during this period, so don't worry about troubling me, just let me know if you need anything. People in the Ancient Fog Region are very warm and welcoming, and if you come here to develop in the future, you'll feel right at home."
"We have many places to play, both on land and underwater. You can do whatever you want."
After praising the Ancient Fog Region for a while, Jiang Xiu suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, what are you going to the Beastmaster Center for?"
Qiao Sang said, "To post a mission."
"What kind of mission?" Jiang Xiu turned his head to look at Qiao Sang. "Maybe I can help you, and you won't have to go to the Beastmaster Center."
Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment, "It's about Lulu."
Jiang Xiu perked up, "Tell me more in detail!"
Qiao Sang explained the situation and added, "That's the situation, so I want to post a mission to see if anyone can help Lulu with her Memory Manifestation Skill."
