Chapter 621: Kortya Volcano
Chapter 621: Kortya Volcano
Treasure Seeker woke Fangy up with a lick.
After adding Sylvia's contact information and thanking the Director again, Qiao Sang confirmed that the guest appearance fee would be processed by the finance department in a couple of days. Then, she rode the enlarged Fangy and left Tao Film Studio.
Watching the girl depart into the sky, Sylvia asked:
"Director, I noticed you're quite interested in Blue Star's familiars. Why not discuss with Qiao Sang to have her familiars appear in more scenes?"
The Director countered, "Actually, you two aren't that close, right?"
Sylvia paused, then replied honestly:
"I posted a mission at the Beastmaster Center, and she took it, which is why she came here. This is actually our first meeting."
"Your mission reward is a Dream Projection?" the Director asked with a smile.
Sylvia blushed slightly, "My Dream Hunter's Dream Projection is only at the Proficient level, but she needed a third-person Dream Projection, so..."
"So you brought her to me." The Director finished her sentence.
Sylvia wasn't afraid of the biggest boss on set and laughed, "Isn't it because I know you're a good person and will definitely help?"
The Director accepted the flattery without hesitation.
"An exchange student from another planet, at her age, with three familiars, two of which are wearing Miniaturization Bands. Such a person wouldn't be interested in acting. Today, she agreed to let her Ghost-type Companion Beasts make a guest appearance because I hadn't helped her yet. She was afraid that if she refused, I might change my mind later." The Director looked at the sky, now empty of any trace of Qiao Sang, and suddenly answered Sylvia's first question, "Asking would have been futile."
Sylvia was taken aback:
"Are you saying all three familiars belong to her?"
"Who else?" The Director glanced at her. "You can't be so naive as to think those three familiars belong to her family members, can you?"
Sylvia: "???"
How did a casual conversation turn into a personal attack?
But the Director was always good at reading people. If it were true, a child with such natural talent as a Beastmaster wouldn't be interested in acting.
After all, who would choose to be an actor when they have the talent to be a Professional Beastmaster? Sylvia felt a sudden sense of melancholy but quickly noticed a familiar figure not far away. She lowered her eyes and asked casually:
"By the way, Director, I remember Eleanor developed the second page of her Beastmaster Codex not long ago. Didn't she bond with a new familiar the next day?"
The Director didn't expect Sylvia to change the subject so quickly.
He thought for a moment and said, "I believe so. She even threw a party to celebrate. Didn't she invite you?"
"She did, but I was busy at the time." Sylvia said lightly. "I just wanted to know what familiar she bonded with so I could choose an appropriate gift."
"I'm not sure about that." The Director checked the time on his mobile phone and turned to leave. "You should ask her yourself. I need to get back to filming."
With that, he walked away.
Sylvia glanced at the figure listening nearby, pretending she knew nothing, and returned to her trailer.
"Swift..."
Swift Butterfly fluttered out, fanning its wings lazily.
That human must have noticed me and said those things on purpose...
This human is so troublesome. She used to feed me Dream Hunter Energy Pills every day, which I didn't like at all. When I refused, she thought I was just being shy and insisted I eat them. I almost threw up.
Finally, another human appreciated my abilities, so I decided to switch.
Even though that human tricked me into bonding, I wouldn't have gone with her if I had to bond for real.
When I told this human, she always thought I had my reasons.
Humans are always like that, always thinking they're right.
But it's also my fault for being too talented...
Swift Butterfly thought to itself as it flapped its wings and flew toward its work.
...
Sai Nan High School.
Dormitory Area 1.
Dorm 502.
Fangy held a mobile phone, happily looking at the handsome photos of its evolved form, wagging its tail wildly.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker, seeing Fangy's excited state, thought of something and floated over to its Beastmaster, calling out to indicate that it also wanted to see its evolved form.
"You're still a long way from Evolution." Despite saying this, Qiao Sang immediately put down her book, opened her computer, and connected to the Star Network to search.
The only Evolution form after Ghost Ring Specter is Ghost Ring King, which Qiao Sang had looked up before.
So she only typed in "Ghost Ring King."
Soon, information and images related to Ghost Ring King appeared on the computer screen.
Qiao Sang clicked to enlarge the image.
"Xunxun!"
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker first excitedly approached, then quickly wilted.
Brother Yabao looked so mighty after Evolution...
Your appearances have always been quite different, Qiao Sang thought, but she consoled it, "I think you look pretty cute after Evolution."
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker wore a "really?" expression.
"Really", Qiao Sang said.
She wasn't lying. Treasure Seeker's entire Evolution chain was considered one of the more attractive ones among Ghost-type Companion Beasts. Other familiars would grow much larger after Evolution.
While Ghost Ring Specter's Evolution chain did see some growth, it was only a little bit compared to its original size. Compared to other familiars of the same level, which could grow to several meters or even tens of meters, it looked exceptionally cute.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker instantly cheered up.
Steel Treasure, practicing Blade Feather nearby, shook his head silently.
Idiot, cuteness is useless; strength is the king.
Lulu was resting in the Sanctified Essence Water with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep, but her body was actually rapidly circulating energy.
Thanks to the effects of the Sanctified Essence Water, even without the Golden Finger Points, Lulu's energy continued to rise.
Interrupted by Treasure Seeker, Qiao Sang's thoughts drifted from her textbook, and she suddenly remembered something.
She needed to find out where there were volcanoes in Supernest.
After using the Dream Insight Stone, she realized that no detail in the dream should be overlooked.
Recreating the exact scene from the dream during Evolution would ensure that Fangy's Evolution wouldn't go wrong.
She wanted to find a place with a volcano for Fangy to Evolve.
Initially, she had planned to look this up right after returning from the film studio, but Fangy had been glued to his mobile phone, absorbed in his Evolution form.
Unable to get the phone back, she had forgotten about it...
Qiao Sang typed "Supernest where are there volcanoes" into the search bar.
The page loaded with the answer.
[Over 6,000, excluding the First District, the other twenty-nine districts all have volcanoes.]
Qiao Sang paused, then added the word "active" before "volcano" in the search bar.
Volcanoes are categorized into three types: Active Volcano, Extinct Volcano, and Dormant Volcano.
Extinct Volcanoes have no recorded eruptions or activity.
Dormant Volcanoes have been inactive for a long time.
Only Active Volcanoes are still frequently erupting.
The page refreshed.
This time, the number of volcanoes was drastically reduced.
[Over 1,700, mostly concentrated in the Lower Ten Districts.]
Still a lot... Qiao Sang pondered.
Honestly, she felt that volcanoes might really be the key to Evolution. Apart from Fangy's unknown Evolution path, no clue from the dream should be ignored. Additionally, Fangy was too young, having been in the Pet Beast Facility since birth, so he couldn't have seen a volcano. The fact that he could dream such a realistic scene suggested that the volcano must be important.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and typed "Supernest most active volcano" into the search bar.
If volcanoes were important, she might as well find the most famous one!
The computer screen quickly displayed the answer.
[19th District, Kortya Volcano.]
