Chapter 683: Gathering
"Ya Ya?"
Fangy looked at Lulu with a puzzled expression.
Third One, isn't that you?
"Icechill..."
As soon as these words were spoken, a surge of cold emanated from Lulu. The ground beneath her feet turned to a layer of white frost, spreading outward.
Her body tensed, her eyes sharp, as if she was about to launch an attack at any moment.
"Fangy."
Fangy sensed Lulu's state and her expression turned serious. She got into a fighting stance, ready to take on Lulu.
Just as the battle seemed imminent, Qiao Sang suddenly spoke up:
"Fangy, you call Lulu Third One because she was the third to join the Queue, right?"
Say it! Qiao Sang tilted her head toward Fangy and gave her a meaningful look.
"Ya Ya."
Fangy paused, then nodded.
That was indeed the reason she called Lulu Third One.
Phew, almost a family conflict... Qiao Sang let out a sigh of relief.
"Ya Ya?"
At this moment, Fangy's expression turned worried.
What was wrong with your eyes just now?
Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment: "I got some sand in my eye."
The cold aura around Lulu diminished slightly, but she still stared intently at Fangy.
Qiao Sang took the opportunity to shift her attention: "Lulu, Steel Treasure has been lying there for a while. Let's heal him first."
"Icechill."
Lulu flicked her tail and walked over to Steel Treasure.
The gem on her forehead glowed blue.
A healing light descended, and soon, Steel Treasure was back on his feet, looking as energetic as ever.
"Steel Guardian."
As soon as he got up, Steel Treasure barked at Fangy, eager for another round.
"Wait!" Qiao Sang jumped in, alarmed.
"Steel Guardian?"
"Ya Ya?"
Steel Treasure and Fangy both looked over, their expressions asking, "What's wrong?"
What else could be wrong? This is the second time! Twice in less than five minutes! If this training continues, how will she endure it... Qiao Sang cleared her throat:
"The intensity of Mars Rain is too high for Steel Treasure right now. We need to switch to something else."
She turned to Lulu.
Lulu has a weather skill called Hailstorm. Although it's a High-Rank skill, she hasn't practiced it much and it's still at the Novice level. Steel Treasure should be able to last longer under this skill...
With that thought, Qiao Sang said:
"From now on, Lulu and Steel Treasure will train together. Lulu will use Hailstorm, and Steel Treasure will practice his movement speed under it."
"Steel Guardian."
Steel Treasure thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Icechill..."
Lulu's body was once again enveloped in cold, and she stared intently at her Beastmaster.
What does that mean?
Just because Fangy's training is too intense, hers isn't?
Qiao Sang: "..."
Has she become this sensitive... Qiao Sang organized her thoughts and said:
"Fangy has been practicing Mars Rain consistently, and her proficiency is at Mastery Level. You haven't practiced Hailstorm much, so it's naturally weaker."
She paused, then added: "I'm just talking about the power of these two skills."
Steel Treasure silently glanced at his Beastmaster.
"Icechill."
Lulu's cold aura dissipated, and she reluctantly accepted the explanation.
She flicked her tail and walked to another empty spot in the training arena.
Steel Treasure flapped his wings and followed closely behind.
Fangy, seeing this, moved to the side to train on her own.
Finally, it's settled... Qiao Sang watched Lulu's back and let out a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but worry about the future.
Lulu hasn't said much lately, but she can still tell that it's been feeling increasingly anxious, especially since the Treasure Seeker's Evolution.
Before the Treasure Seeker Evolved, whenever Qiao Sang went out, Lulu would always stay in her backpack and go along.
But after the Treasure Seeker Evolved, during the recent times when Qiao Sang went to the gym to train her defensive strength, Lulu no longer followed her, preferring to stay in the water tank filled with Sanctified Essence Water.
If this continues and Lulu doesn't Evolve for another year or two, who knows how anxious it will become...
"Xunxun~"
Just as Qiao Sang was deep in thought, the Treasure Seeker teleported beside her, calling out sweetly to indicate that an hour had passed.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Qiao Sang took out her mobile phone and checked the time, finding that it was exactly one hour since she had sent the Treasure Seeker to train the Psychic Hammer.
Not a minute more, not a minute less.
"How did you know an hour had passed?" Qiao Sang put down her phone, unable to resist asking.
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker grinned, showing a proud little expression.
Because it had to re-cast its Skills every minute recently, it had been keeping a close eye on the time, now mastering it with incredible precision.
You're amazing... Qiao Sang smiled. "Come with me, I just bought a new computer."
With that, she walked toward the living room.
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker was initially stunned, then its face lit up with excitement as it hurriedly followed.
In the living room.
The Treasure Seeker looked at the new computer from all angles, clearly delighted.
Qiao Sang cleared her throat and said, "Now that we have two computers, you can use the Substitute skill. That way, the Substitute and the original can play together, so you won't get tired."
"!!!"
The Treasure Seeker suddenly looked up at Qiao Sang, its eyes brimming with tears.
"Xunxun!"
Tears streamed down its face as it lunged forward, sobbing and looking as if it was ready to pledge its life to her.
Not that serious, I just want you to train your Substitute without slacking off... Qiao Sang was taken aback by the Treasure Seeker's reaction.
She knew it would be excited, but not this much...
Just as Qiao Sang was about to say something to comfort it, the Treasure Seeker let go, cast Substitute, and stood beside the original, opening the old computer and playing on both simultaneously.
Qiao Sang: "..."
...
The next day.
6:00 PM.
Xiangshide Pine Restaurant.
Vip Box.
Familiars in work uniforms kept bringing out beautifully arranged dishes.
Around the large dining table sat about a dozen teenagers, with only one girl looking a bit younger.
"Qiao Sang, how did your two familiars Evolve?" A boy with slightly curly blond hair asked.
Everyone, except Tang Yi, looked over, waiting for an answer.
"It's like this..." Qiao Sang briefly recounted the process of Fangy and the Treasure Seeker's Evolution.
"If that's all it takes for a familiar to Evolve into a General-Class, I'd be willing to go through that..." The boy next to him sighed.
"Dream on." Gene took a sip of his drink and sneered. "It depends on the person. If everyone could make a High-Class Beast Companion Evolve into a General-Class in that situation, General-Class Beast Companions would be everywhere."
Raffi teased:
"Why don't you let your Kila Bird evolve to the Advanced stage first?"
Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became quite lively for a moment.
Qiao Sang asked:
"What are your plans next?"
"Nothing much, just go to college and wait to inherit the family business."
"I'm preparing to major in something and minor in the Beastmaster Program. I actually wanted to go for the Beastmaster Program, but my scores weren't high enough."
"I don't know, haven't thought about it yet."
"I plan to find a purebred Pure Water Dragon egg before my Beastmaster Codex reaches the third page. I'll hatch it and bond with it then."
"I want to form a Professional Beastmaster Club and participate in various major matches", Yuna said.
Qiao Sang's eyes lit up as she looked at her.
A Beastmaster Club is a hallmark of the professionalization and specialization of the Beastmaster career. It is an organization that many Professional Beastmasters are hired by when they earn a living through matches. They can profit through ticket sales, advertising, broadcasting rights, Beastmaster lottery tickets, company sponsorships, publishing various Beastmaster publications, transfer fees for Professional Beastmasters, and customizing arena seating.
One of the main reasons Qiao Sang had gathered with these classmates from Sai Nan High School was to find more ways to make money. Her Unlimited Credit Card was about to expire, and if she didn't invest now while she still had it, she was genuinely worried about not having enough funds when Fangy and the others evolved to the Royal Tier.
Although she had two sources of income on Blue Star, it was always better to earn more while she had the chance.
Everyone at Sai Nan High School came from wealthy backgrounds. If she could do business with them, her life would be much easier, and she might even be able to earn money effortlessly.
At this moment, Hylis smiled and said, "I want to create my own brand of Familiar Artifacts store. With the popularity of Beast Arenas, the competition among Artifacts is quite intense, but I'm working hard not to lose money."
After Yuna and Hylis, many others began to share their plans for starting their own businesses.
Qiao Sang silently noted down the names of the classmates who were preparing to start businesses, planning to reach out to them later.
"By the way, why haven't I seen you carrying Flame Kiru, formerly known as Liao, around lately? I usually see you with your Familiar when you go out", Hylis suddenly asked.
Qiao Sang shrugged, "It evolved in a volcano, and the Miniaturization Band was burned. I've ordered a new one online, but it hasn't arrived yet."
Hylis was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "It's no big deal. I have an uncle who works in this field. I'll have him send you one, and it'll be here tomorrow."
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
Damn, this is what it feels like to have classmates from wealthy families... Qiao Sang said nonchalantly:
"Forget it, I've already ordered one, and it should arrive soon."
"Soon means it's still a while away", Hylis replied. "I can have it delivered to you tomorrow, and besides, you have several Familiars. They all evolve quickly, so one more won't be too much. You'll need it eventually."
Some of the classmates nearby looked slightly disdainful and exchanged glances with their close friends.
Everyone knew the reason they were here was to build a good relationship with Qiao Sang.
They had only been chatting for a short while, and Hylis couldn't hold back anymore, offering a Miniaturization Band. Who really cares about it?
At this moment, Qiao Sang took out her mobile phone and said, "In that case, I won't be polite. I'll send you my address right now."
Everyone: "!!!"
