Chapter 682: It's Over
Chapter 682: It’s Over
Morning.
8:15 AM.
Qiao Sang naturally woke up, and the first thing she saw was Treasure Seeker’s face, only 0.1 centimeters away from hers, almost causing her heart to stop.
"Damn, why are you so close to me?" Qiao Sang jumped up, instantly wide awake.
"Xunxun~"
Seeing that her Beastmaster was finally awake, Treasure Seeker grinned, and its eyes glowed blue.
In the next second, all the items in the room began to float, including the bed and Qiao Sang on it.
Lulu, in the water tank, also floated into the air. It opened one eye, paused for a moment, and then closed it again.
Qiao Sang was startled. "Why did you suddenly use Psychic Power?"
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker pointed to the floating items and then at itself, indicating that it felt very relaxed while controlling things.
Now that you're a Champion-level familiar, and your Psychic Power has reached Mastery Level, controlling things should be easy... Qiao Sang looked exhausted. "Put me down quickly."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker called out, and the items in the room, including the bed, returned to their original positions.
Qiao Sang looked at Treasure Seeker, suddenly feeling something was off.
Usually, at this time, if she hadn’t banned the internet, Treasure Seeker should be playing on the computer. But it didn’t, and instead, it came to her room to show off its Psychic Power.
Something was definitely not right...
Could it be that after two all-nighters, it lost interest in the computer?
Qiao Sang felt a headache coming on.
If that was the case, it might take a while for its Psychic Power to reach Mastery Peak...
"Xunxun?"
Just then, Treasure Seeker called out with an expectant look, asking if it could continue all-nighters on the computer tonight.
Qiao Sang perked up. "Of course, you can!"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker immediately floated out of the room, full of energy.
It seems the computer hasn’t bored it yet... Qiao Sang sighed in relief but then had a thought.
If it wasn’t bored, why didn’t it stay in the living room playing the computer and instead came to her room to show off its Psychic Power?
Qiao Sang thought for a moment, closed her eyes, and entered the Beastmaster Codex.
The pages flipped quickly to the one about Treasure Seeker.
Qiao Sang’s gaze stopped at a particular line.
[Psychic Power (Mastery 20000/20000) Max]
"!!!"
Damn, it actually reached Mastery Peak!
That’s way too fast!
After the initial shock, Qiao Sang felt a surge of joy but quickly thought of something. She exited the Beastmaster Codex, got out of bed, put on her slippers, and walked quickly to the living room, calling out loudly:
"Don’t play the computer yet!"
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker, who had just started playing the computer using Psychic Power, looked up, the blue glow in its eyes fading, and it wore a puzzled expression.
Qiao Sang said seriously:
"I forgot to mention earlier, now when you want to play the computer, use Substitute. Similarly, you need to re-cast it every minute."
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker tilted its head, looking confused.
Use Substitute to play? How is that supposed to work? Does it play the computer or does the Substitute play the computer?
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:
"You can play yourself, or you can control the Substitute to play."
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker imagined both scenarios and felt neither was what it wanted.
Whether it was controlling the Substitute to play or letting the Substitute play, it seemed tiring...
Why is it tiring? You didn’t say you were tired when you used Shadow Control or Psychic Power before. What’s the difference between using Substitute and those? ...Wait, there might be a difference... Qiao Sang thought.
The biggest difference seemed to be that with Shadow Control and Psychic Power, Treasure Seeker was directly interacting with the computer, playing it.
But with Substitute, the Substitute would be playing the computer, and Treasure Seeker would have to check on it every minute.
If controlling Substitute makes Substitute play the computer, Treasure Seeker will have to focus most of its attention on Substitute, and it won't enjoy playing the computer as much.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, then, no more computer for now."
Treasure Seeker: "!!!"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker, in a hurry, summoned Substitute to show that it could use Substitute while playing the computer.
To prove it, it started tapping the keyboard with its claws, keeping Substitute calm by its side.
Qiao Sang: "……"
Qiao Sang rubbed his twitching eye and said, "You can go to the outdoor Arena and practice Psychic Hammer for an hour this morning. We'll talk about the computer later."
"Xunxun……"
Treasure Seeker gave its Beastmaster a mournful look but obediently dismissed Substitute and floated toward the Open Training Ground, albeit with a drooping head and a lack of energy.
Although it was a bit of a net addict, it was still obedient... Qiao Sang felt a bit relieved. He sat on the sofa, picked up his mobile phone, opened a shopping app, and bought the most expensive computer available in the First District, choosing immediate delivery.
If Treasure Seeker couldn't play the computer while using Substitute, he would buy two, so both it and Substitute could play. This way, it would become more proficient with Substitute.
Besides, his original computer was bought when he was in junior high, and he was about to start university. It was time for a better one...
"Ding dong~"
Forty minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Qiao Sang opened the door and saw a well-built Combat-type Companion handing over a package.
"Is this the computer?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Quickly, quickly", the Combat-type Companion nodded.
That was fast... Qiao Sang took the package and closed the door.
At that moment, a sharp pain hit him, causing his body to waver and almost drop the package.
Damn, what's happening... Qiao Sang endured the intense pain and carefully placed the computer on the table.
He couldn't let this new purchase get damaged...
The pain came and went quickly.
Qiao Sang took a moment to recover.
"Ya Ya!"
Just then, Fangy teleported into the living room, looking anxious.
Steel Treasure had fainted!
Qiao Sang was taken aback. "Why did it faint?"
"Tooth Fangy"
Fangy sighed.
Fourth One was hit by Mars Rain during training...
Qiao Sang: "……"
No wonder the pain came so suddenly...
It seems the first phase of defensive strength training has ended, and it still can't withstand the pain from Mars Rain...
"Lulu", Qiao Sang called out.
"Icechill", Lulu slowly emerged from the room.
"Steel Treasure has fainted. Go heal it", Qiao Sang said.
"Icechill", Lulu's tail flicked, acknowledging the command, and she slowly walked toward the Open Training Ground.
Fangy followed closely behind.
Qiao Sang opened the package and took out the computer.
The moment he did, the familiar sharp pain hit him again.
Qiao Sang's mind flashed with a "Damn" word.
Once the pain subsided, he took a deep breath, stood up, and headed to the Open Training Ground.
He saw Steel Treasure lying on the ground like a lump of black charcoal.
"Tooth Fangy"
Fangy looked at its Beastmaster with a helpless expression.
Fourth One had been healed by Third One, but the moment it restarted training, it was hit by Mars Rain and fainted again.
Qiao Sang: "……"
The power gap between Fangy and Steel Treasure was too great. Even if he controlled the power of Mars Rain, it was still too much for the Intermediate-level Steel Treasure to handle.
It seems he can't let Fangy use Mars Rain to train Steel Treasure...
Qiao Sang opened his mouth to speak.
Suddenly, he felt a chill.
Qiao Sang, sensing something, turned his head to the left.
"Icechill..."
Lulu's body tensed, her entire being radiating a cold aura as she glared at Fangy and called out.
Who said who is Third One...
Qiao Sang: "……"
It's over...
