Chapter 639: Emotional Energy
Chapter 639: Emotional Energy
Beastmaster Center.
At the entrance of the third-floor familiar detection area.
Qiao Sang was waiting outside, holding Fangy, who had already shrunk back to his usual size.
"Ya Ya."
Fangy nuzzled against Qiao Sang's face with his head.
"I'm fine", Qiao Sang said gently.
She knew Fangy was trying to comfort her.
Actually, on the way here, she had already figured it out. Lulu's Healing Light could cure all diseases and negative effects caused by skills. Since Treasure Seeker didn't change under the Healing Light, it meant he wasn't sick or affected by any skill.
There shouldn't be any major problem.
The unusual symptoms Treasure Seeker was showing had never appeared before, and Qiao Sang had been quiet earlier because she was simply trying to figure out what he had absorbed.
At that moment, the heavy door opened.
A female doctor in a white coat walked out, followed by a white Egg Beast pushing a hospital bed. On the bed lay Treasure Seeker.
Treasure Seeker's face was flushed, his eyes closed, and he was covered with a blanket, still unconscious.
"Doctor, is everything alright?" Qiao Sang stood up and walked over, her voice filled with concern.
The doctor gave her a complex look. "He's fine. He just absorbed too much emotional energy. Once he digests it, he'll wake up on his own."
Too much emotional energy?
Where did the emotional energy come from?
Could it be from the two Beastmasters she sent to the police station?
Because they were defeated, they must have generated resentment?
Was the resentment so strong that it made Treasure Seeker absorb it like this?
But that doesn't make sense. They were unconscious at the time. How could they generate resentment without consciousness?
A series of questions flooded Qiao Sang's mind, but on the surface, she only furrowed her brow slightly and asked, "How long will it take to digest?"
The doctor, impressed that someone so young could manage to gather so many negative emotions for her familiar to absorb, stepped back a bit and carefully said, "The amount of emotional energy absorbed is quite excessive, so it's hard to say exactly. It's best to keep him here for observation. I'll notify you when he wakes up."
She paused and added, "Familiars have limited tolerance at each stage of their development. In the future, don't let it absorb so much emotional energy at once."
With that, she quickly walked away.
Qiao Sang was taken aback. Just how much emotional energy did Treasure Seeker absorb to require hospital observation?
"Huu hu."
The Egg Beast beside her called out and pushed the hospital bed forward.
Qiao Sang hurried to follow.
After spending so much time with familiars, Qiao Sang could usually guess what they meant even if she didn't understand their exact words. This time, it seemed they were taking Treasure Seeker to a ward.
...
Treasure Seeker was placed in a double-occupancy ward.
The familiar in the neighboring bed was also suffering from indigestion.
Unlike Treasure Seeker, who remained unconscious, this familiar frequently went to the bathroom and released flatulence.
At first, Qiao Sang didn't mind, but when the neighboring familiar released flatulence in its sleep at eleven o'clock at night, Lulu emerged from her backpack with a blank expression and asked if they could change wards.
Qiao Sang agreed and immediately paid extra to move to a private ward.
...
Inside the private ward.
Lulu jumped out of the backpack and cast a Healing Light on the still unconscious Treasure Seeker.
When the blue light dissipated, Treasure Seeker remained asleep.
"It won't work", Qiao Sang said from the side. "He just absorbed too much emotional energy; he's not sick."
"Icechill..."
Lulu sighed.
Her Sanctified Essence Water was still in Treasure Seeker's Ring...
Since exchanging credits for the Sanctified Essence Water, Lulu had been sleeping in a tank filled with it every night.
"I think Treasure Seeker should wake up tomorrow", Qiao Sang said, trying to reassure her.
"Icechill."
Lulu nodded, understanding, then jumped onto the bedside table next to the bed, lying down where she could see Treasure Seeker as soon as she opened her eyes, and closed her eyes.
Talking about the Sanctified Essence Water, Lulu was actually worried about Treasure Seeker... Qiao Sang understood Lulu's tsundere nature and didn't call her out on it.
The night was dark outside the window.
Qiao Sang glanced out, reflecting on how she never imagined her first day in the Nineteenth District would be spent in the familiar ward of the Beastmaster Center...
Indeed, anything could happen when you were out on your own. She wondered if the people from that Organization would come looking for her, but this was Right Bank City, and the Beastmaster Center at that. They surely wouldn’t have the nerve to make a move here... On the bright side, this place was much safer than the Sota Hotel... Qiao Sang gazed out the window, her thoughts drifting.
...
In the following days, the Treasure Seeker remained unconscious.
Fortunately, daily checks were conducted, and Qiao Sang knew that the Treasure Seeker’s condition was stable, which gave her some peace of mind.
However, most of her belongings were stored in the Treasure Seeker’s Ring.
With the Treasure Seeker still in a deep sleep, Qiao Sang had to buy a new set of daily necessities.
"It doesn’t feel as hot anymore..." Qiao Sang murmured to herself as she wiped the Treasure Seeker’s body with a new towel and then touched it.
At that moment, the female doctor who had examined the Treasure Seeker earlier pushed the door open.
"Still keeping watch?" the doctor asked, surprised.
Qiao Sang nodded.
The doctor approached, checking the Treasure Seeker while speaking.
"Actually, you don’t need to stay here all the time. When the Ghost Ring Specter wakes up, we’ll contact you."
Although the Ghost Ring Specter wasn’t a Suprenest familiar, the doctor knew its species name as all familiars had to register their information before being examined.
"If I’m not by its side and it wakes up without seeing me, it will cry", Qiao Sang said with a smile.
The doctor seemed taken aback by Qiao Sang’s words and paused.
Qiao Sang looked at her. "What’s wrong?"
The doctor shook her head. "Nothing, just suddenly curious about where you collected so much emotional energy from."
Qiao Sang immediately understood that the doctor was referring to the emotional energy absorbed by the Treasure Seeker.
She paused for a moment before asking, "A lot?"
The doctor, who no longer viewed Qiao Sang with a "villain filter", nodded slightly and said seriously:
"A lot. Even a General-Class Ghost-type Companion Beast would take a long time to digest that much emotional energy. It feels like enough to keep a high-level Ghost-type Companion Beast busy for years."
Qiao Sang was shocked.
"Years? Does that mean my familiar will be asleep for years?!"
"No", the doctor explained with a smile. "I mean, if it were absorbed slowly over time, it would take years. But absorbing it all at once just means it will take a bit longer to digest, not that long."
Qiao Sang was still uneasy and said in a heavy tone:
"Doctor, can you give me a rough estimate? I can handle it."
The doctor was silent for a moment.
"This week", the doctor said. "Your Ghost Ring Specter absorbs energy much faster than other Ghost-type Companion Beasts at the same level. If the check-up data remains normal, it will likely wake up this week."
Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Doctor."
...
9:13 PM.
Qiao Sang was logged into Sai Nan High School’s official website on her mobile phone, browsing the credit exchange items.
Her credits hadn’t been fully used, and as long as she hadn’t graduated, she could use them. The school would even send the exchanged items via courier to any other region if she was outside the school.
The Treasure Seeker had absorbed a large amount of emotional energy. Initially, she thought it was just from the two Beastmasters she had sent to the Police Station, but now she realized she had been mistaken. The emotional energy from just two people couldn’t possibly sustain a High-Class Companion Beast for years...
Sai Nan High School’s credit exchange list featured many items not available on the market. Perhaps there were artifacts that could speed up the energy absorption of Ghost-type Companion Beasts...
"Ya Ya!"
Just as Qiao Sang was browsing the credit exchange list, Fangy excitedly called out.
Qiao Sang, sensing something, paused and looked up at the bed.
"Xunxun..."
There, the Treasure Seeker sat on the bed, blinking with a confused look, as if asking, "Where am I?"
