Chapter 529: Herkim Tower
Chapter 529: Herkim Tower
A minute later, Qiao Sang found Monier based on his seat number.
Monier was a typical Caucasian, with blonde hair and blue eyes, deep-set features, and a disheveled, uncombed head of hair. His face was covered in stubble.
"Mr. Monier", Qiao Sang greeted.
"Ah! Come on!"
"Mr. Monier."
"Ah! Adamantine Scorpion! Get in there! Don't just defend all the time!"
"Mr. Monier!"
"Ah! Liu Yuan! Are you eating shit out there!"
Qiao Sang: "..."
Steel Sparrow couldn't stand it anymore and flew in front of Monier, blocking his view.
Monier was taken aback, about to start cursing.
At that moment, Qiao Sang called out again, "Mr. Monier."
Monier finally turned his head.
Seeing this, Steel Sparrow flew back to Qiao Sang's side, keeping a low profile.
You finally hear me... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Monier looked at the girl in front of him, his gaze pausing for a moment before he realized, "You're the one who wants the custom Energy Pill, right?"
Qiao Sang nodded. "Yes, it's me."
Monier smiled politely. "Just give me ten minutes."
With that, he turned back to the arena, his expression changing to a fierce scowl as he shouted, "Ah! Liu Yuan! You coward!"
Qiao Sang: "..."
"Ganggang."
Steel Sparrow flapped its wings, suggesting whether they should find a different Familiar Trainer. It seemed this human wasn't very reliable.
I want to change too... But since the other party was right there, Qiao Sang said tactfully, "He's the best choice."
Ten minutes later, the match in the arena ended.
Monier cursed the contestant named Liu Yuan to his heart's content, then turned his head and did a dramatic face change, his expression clearing up and a gentle smile appearing. "Let's find a quiet place to talk."
Qiao Sang nodded, having no objections.
The two of them took the elevator to the seventeenth floor.
Monier had an office area here, and he led Qiao Sang into a spacious office.
"Tell me more", Monier said as he sat down on the sofa. "What kind of custom Energy Pill do you want for your familiar?"
Qiao Sang sat on the opposite sofa, took out a piece of paper with the formula, and placed it on the table. "I want to make these three types of Energy Pills, with a month's supply of each. Additionally, I need a custom Energy Pill for Steel Sparrow, tailored to its physical condition."
Monier picked up the formula and examined it, nodding. "No problem, but the cost of the materials will be extra."
"That's fine", Qiao Sang replied. "I hope they can be made within a week."
Monier smiled. "Of course."
He then beckoned to Steel Sparrow, "Come here."
Steel Sparrow knew this human was going to examine it and flew over cooperatively.
A small, worm-like familiar with a faint white glow emerged from Monier's sleeve, tiny like a firefly.
"Open your mouth", Monier instructed.
This time, Steel Sparrow hesitated and turned to look at Qiao Sang.
"What is that?" Qiao Sang asked, understanding Steel Sparrow's concern.
"It's a Micro-Transparent Worm with a Visual Sharing trait. It can fly into your familiar's body to give me a clearer view of its condition", Monier explained calmly.
Like Sightbird's trait... Qiao Sang nodded slightly at Steel Sparrow.
"Steel..."
Steel Sparrow hesitated but eventually opened its mouth.
The Micro-Transparent Worm quickly flew into its mouth.
At the same time, Monier closed his eyes.
This job isn't easy. What if a familiar has bad breath? Many familiars don't brush their teeth... Qiao Sang's thoughts drifted, and she couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for the Micro-Transparent Worm.
Two minutes later, the Micro-Transparent Worm flew out of Steel Sparrow's mouth.
Monier opened his eyes and said, "This Steel Sparrow's physical condition is quite good, but its blood flow speed is slower than normal for a Steel Sparrow. This is due to insufficient sleep. It's less than a year old, so it should get enough rest."
It's only less than a year old... Qiao Sang looked at Steel Sparrow, a bit surprised.
At less than a year old, being this smart, how is Fangy supposed to live?
“Ya Ya!”
At that moment, Fangy was wagging its tail, its two claws clinging to the glass wall as it excitedly watched the scenery outside, completely unaware that its Beastmaster had just questioned its intelligence.
Monier continued:
"The reason Steel Sparrow has such strong defense is largely due to its feathers. However, your Steel Sparrow has sparse feathers, making it look a bit bald."
I told you that plucking too many feathers would make it bald... Qiao Sang gave Steel Sparrow a "told you so" look.
"Ganggang..."
Steel Sparrow couldn't help but stretch its wings to touch the feathers on its back.
Being bald isn't a big issue, but if it affects its defense, that's a problem...
Monier then changed the subject, smiling: "But you don't need to worry about that. After taking the Energy Pills I formulated, all these issues will be resolved."
You're a B-Class Trainer; shouldn't problems like sleep and baldness be easy to solve... Qiao Sang smiled on the surface: "Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Monier."
"That's my job", Monier said. "Also, if you want Steel Sparrow to achieve a perfect Evolution, it's best to teach it a small success-level defensive skill while it's still in the Junior stage. Then, buy Strengthening Oil and apply it daily until it Evolves."
Qiao Sang nodded: "I understand."
"There are a lot of fake Strengthening Oils on the market", Monier smiled.
"I'll be careful", Qiao Sang said.
"It's not easy to tell the real from the fake", Monier continued to smile.
"I'll be extra careful", Qiao Sang said.
Monier's lips twitched, finally revealing his true intentions: "Actually, I have Strengthening Oil here."
You should have said that earlier... Qiao Sang thought, but said:
"That's great. Can you give me a month's supply?"
Monier's smile widened: "Of course, but the cost..."
Qiao Sang interrupted: "Money is not a problem."
Monier's smile grew even wider.
He loved customers who were this straightforward.
Then he thought of something and reminded: "It's best to let Steel Sparrow engage in a battle before applying the Strengthening Oil. This will ensure the best results."
Customers who don't even ask about the price are rare, and he naturally hoped that Steel Sparrow would show significant improvement, ensuring long-term cooperation.
Monier continued: "The Arena Battles for F-Class Beastmasters are on the first floor. You can let Steel Sparrow try it out, then apply the Strengthening Oil to see the effect. Trust me, you'll be satisfied every time."
...
Herkim Tower.
The renowned Familiar Arena Battles location in the Third District.
With 101 floors, each level of Beastmaster has their own designated floor for Arena Battles.
The higher the level, the higher the floor.
However, not every floor hosts Arena Battles. Some floors are for dining, accommodation, and leisure shopping, mixed in between the Arena Battle floors.
The higher the floor, the more luxurious the brands.
There are also office floors, which require special access cards to enter.
"Ding!"
On the 11th floor, the elevator doors opened.
Qiao Sang, holding Fangy, stepped out of the elevator, with Steel Sparrow following closely.
After carefully considering Monier's suggestion, Qiao Sang thought it was feasible.
Having come out for a rare trip and ending up here by chance, it would indeed be a good idea to participate in some Arena Battles.
Testing the effectiveness of the Strengthening Oil was one reason, but another was to assess Steel Sparrow's combat capabilities.
Of course, the most important reason was to earn more Points.
Steel Sparrow's current Level Points were at 766, just 234 points away from Evolution.
However, the level of F-Class Beastmasters' Arena Battles didn't meet Qiao Sang's current standards. Considering that Steel Sparrow was still a Beginner Beast, he decided to head to the 11th floor, where E-Rank Beastmasters held their Arena Battles.
