Chapter 642: Morphing Fruit
Chapter 642: Morphing Fruit
After browsing online shopping platforms for five minutes, Qiao Sang decisively gave up on the idea of buying a Shadow Pearl online.
Even at 9.9 with free shipping, it was too risky.
While some well-known Artifact flagship stores offered Shadow Pearls with certification, the highest grade available was only A-Class.
For Qiao Sang, who still had her Unlimited Credit Card, this was far too low a level.
After all, evolution was a major event, and if she had the means to get something better, she would naturally use it.
Qiao Sang looked up the addresses of well-known Artifact stores in the Nineteenth District, planning to visit them in person.
The best things were often hard to find online, and she figured that physical stores would have some items, just like when she bought those S-Class potions.
After jotting down the addresses of a few reputable Artifact stores, Qiao Sang logged onto Sai Nan High School’s official website to check the Points Exchange.
Almost all the Artifacts available for exchange had been updated.
It seemed that students in the Senior Division of Sai Nan High School were now using their credits... Qiao Sang scrolled through the screen, looking at Artifacts that hadn’t appeared yesterday.
Her Unlimited Credit Card was still valid, and using credits to exchange for items that could be bought with money was rather uninteresting.
Qiao Sang started flipping through the list, focusing on items that were hard to find on the market.
Initially, her credits had accumulated to 1,121. She used 60 credits for the Focus Monocle, 100 for the Pure Sweet Essence, 300 for the Sanctified Essence Water, 5 for the Familiar Miniaturization Bracelet, and 100 for the Limited Edition Universal Familiar Identifier, leaving her with 556 credits.
Later, she had her eye on the Mystic Hood, which required 50 credits, but Steel Treasure didn’t like it, so she didn’t exchange for it, leaving her credits untouched.
With 556 credits, she could exchange for something of high quality. Qiao Sang directly sorted the list by the highest credits first.
Name: Potential Card
Function: Drop a familiar’s blood on the card to show the maximum evolution level the familiar can achieve.
Note 1: This Artifact is a one-time use product.
Note 2: The familiar must be fasting, without drinking water or eating any food, before use.
Note 3: Do not let the Potential Card get wet, as it will affect the final test results.
Credits: 666
The Potential Card was probably only suitable for familiars that the owner wanted to bond with but hadn’t yet... The highest credit item only required 666 credits, which suggested that most of the good items at Sai Nan High School had already been exchanged... Qiao Sang glanced at the final credit amount, inwardly criticizing, and continued scrolling down.
Name: Morphing Fruit
Function: Based on the familiar’s inner desire, it can choose to increase or decrease the familiar’s size.
Note 1: A familiar can only use the Morphing Fruit once in its lifetime; a second use is ineffective.
Note 2: Once the size is changed, it cannot be reversed.
Note 3: The size change will either halve or double the familiar’s original size.
Note 4: The amount of food required will decrease or increase accordingly after the familiar’s size changes. Please prepare in advance.
Credits: 555
A fruit that can change a familiar’s size? Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up.
This was perfect!
While it wasn’t an absolute rule, the larger a familiar’s size, the stronger it generally was. This was true for about 90% of familiars.
Qiao Sang immediately thought of Steel Treasure.
This fruit would be perfect for Steel Treasure. After all, Steel Treasure’s Air Absorb skill worked better the larger the familiar was!
And as a Flying-type Companion, many of Steel Treasure's Skills have their power tied to its size, such as Air Blades and Brave Bird Assault, which are fairly common Flying-type Skills.
Most importantly, the Morphing Fruit costs 555 credits, and she had just enough to exchange for it!
Qiao Sang, thinking this, immediately clicked to confirm the exchange, fearing that if she was too slow, someone else might snatch it up.
After filling in her address, Qiao Sang put down her mobile phone, feeling satisfied.
But then she thought of something and picked up her phone again, looking at the still open credits exchange page. She pressed the left button to sort by credits from low to high.
There was still 1 credit left, and she couldn't let it go to waste…
【Name: Vip Invitation to the Semi-finals of the 126th Companion Beast Arena Championship】
【Function: Allows you to watch the semi-finals of the 126th Companion Beast Arena Championship from the Vip seats.】
【Note 1: This is for the semi-finals, not the final.】
【Note 2: Transferable.】
【Credits: 1】
Without a second thought, Qiao Sang clicked to exchange.
There was no helping it; the only thing that could be exchanged for 1 credit was this.
…
8:23 PM.
At a chain brand Familiar Artifacts store.
The staff apologized, saying:
"Sorry, we don't have an S-Class Shadow Pearl here. Would you like to look at other artifacts?"
This was already the sixth store… Qiao Sang spoke calmly:
"I can wait. Can you transfer one from another location?"
"Sorry", the staff member still maintained an apologetic expression, "we really don't have an S-Class Shadow Pearl. Perhaps you could look at other artifacts; we have many that are suitable for Ghost-type Companions…"
Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, ignoring the staff's enthusiastic sales pitch, and left the store.
It seemed that S-Class Shadow Pearls were even rarer than she thought. She had visited almost every well-known Artifacts store, and none of them had it… Qiao Sang felt heavy-hearted. Then, she thought of something, took out her mobile phone, logged into the Beastmaster Center's official website, and clicked on the mission posting section. She posted a message about looking for an S-Class Shadow Pearl.
Since she couldn't find it herself, she had to ask for help from others…
She closed her mobile phone screen, but it vibrated a second later.
Qiao Sang picked it up to see a notification from the Beastmaster Center's official website:
【Someone has claimed your mission.】
Qiao Sang: "!!"
So fast!
Qiao Sang was shocked and immediately checked the information of the person who claimed the mission, then called their number.
"Beep beep~"
The call connected, and a pleasant female voice came from the speaker:
"Hello?"
"I'm Genius Yoyomu. Are you 'Love Me in Vain'?" Qiao Sang asked.
To protect personal privacy, many people used their Ids when posting or claiming missions online.
"It's me", Love Me in Vain said, "but I don't have an S-Class Shadow Pearl myself. I just know of a place that might have one. Are you interested?"
"Yes", Qiao Sang replied decisively.
"Then the Vip ticket to the International Team Tour of the Companion Beast Professional League in your mission reward…"
"If the information you give me is correct, I'll send the ticket to you."
"Deal", Love Me in Vain said with a smile in her voice.
"I see you posted your mission from the Nineteenth District. There's an underground market there, below the Shadow Nest Bar. If you show your Beastmaster identity and say you want to trade, someone will take you there."
She paused and added:
"There are quite a few good items for Ghost-type Companions there."
