Chapter 708: Emotion Swap
Chapter 708: Emotion Swap
Doraris paused for a moment before replying:
"Generally, it's around 150,000 to 200,000 Union Coins per month, depending on the Research Institute you join. As long as you have a Junior Researcher position, the minimum monthly salary at a research center is 150,000 Union Coins."
She paused, then added:
"However, I'm talking about the situation in Supernest. I'm not very familiar with Blue Star."
Even at the lower end, 150,000 Union Coins a month would total 1.8 million a year. Even after the Unlimited Credit Card's validity period ends, it would be enough to support Steel Treasure at this stage... Qiao Sang no longer hesitated and said seriously, "I am willing to participate in this research."
"Great!" Doraris couldn't hide her smile.
With Icechill's Beastmaster participating, it was as if Icechill itself was participating.
In the following time, Doraris took Qiao Sang on a tour of the Research Institute:
"Our facility is mainly divided into five areas."
"The Experimental Zone, where we conduct most of our research... The Containment Area, where the familiars used for research are kept. Most of them are wild familiars, though a few belong to Beastmasters... The Library, which contains almost exclusively information on Familiar Emotional Energy. You can come in anytime you want to read; I've already granted you access... The Storage Room, which houses items you might not understand yet. It's best to wait until you've learned more before entering... Finally, the Leisure Area." Doraris stopped at the place where they had initially sat and chatted: "Alright, now summon your Icechill so I can see its condition."
See its condition? Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, and he immediately formed the hand seal.
The Amber Star Array glowed, and soon Lulu appeared within it.
Orange-yellow... Doraris's pupils contracted slightly.
Yesterday, her attention had been on Icechill, and she hadn't noticed the color of the Star Array.
Although she had read the reports and was mentally prepared, the thought that a 16-year-old's brain domain had reached this level still left her shaken when she saw it firsthand.
Leaving aside combat strength, the talent shown by such a brain domain was enough to explain why the Beastmaster Academy had approached her...
"Icechill."
Lulu remained calm, looking at the human in front of her without the impatience from yesterday.
"May I touch you?" Doraris asked with a gentle smile.
As an expert in Familiar Emotional Energy, she was sensitive to familiars' emotions and could tell that Icechill wasn't repulsed by her.
"Icechill."
Lulu glanced at her hand and called out.
It must have heard the conversation from yesterday and understood that Dr. Doraris might help it evolve... Qiao Sang translated, "It says yes."
Hearing this, Doraris's smile grew wider.
She squatted down and began to stroke Icechill while observing it.
Lulu cooperated throughout.
You've made so many sacrifices for evolution... Just being petted a few times, and Qiao Sang couldn't help feeling that Lulu was compromising for the sake of evolution.
After about ten seconds, Doraris stood up and said:
"Your Icechill is quite introverted and calm. It might be difficult to make it feel despair."
Damn, no wonder she's an expert! She understood so much just from a few touches... Qiao Sang was deeply impressed and asked:
"What should we do then?"
"Icechill..."
Lulu's tail tensed up, and she looked at the human who had just petted her, her expression slightly tense.
Doraris smiled and said:
"It's not a serious problem. There are many ways to make a familiar feel despair. The first step is to understand what it cares about the most."
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Right now, it cares most about when it can evolve."
"Icechill."
Lulu nodded, confirming that this was indeed the case.
"Then let it understand that it can't Evolve", Doraris said.
Lulu was stunned on the spot.
Qiao Sang glanced at Lulu and lowered her voice. "It has already heard our conversation, so it shouldn't generate Despair, right?"
"No", Doraris smiled. "Don't forget, for Icechill to Evolve, it needs not only energy accumulation and Despair but also a Sandstorm environment."
"As long as you keep it away from Sandstorms, no matter how desperate it gets, it won't be able to Evolve."
"Icechill..."
Lulu found it hard to digest this information.
What did it mean?
Was she supposed to prevent her Beastmaster from finding a familiar with Sandstorm Skills?
But what if it managed to generate Despair in the meantime?
Thinking about this, Lulu felt a wave of frustration.
Doraris had been closely monitoring Icechill's state. Seeing Lulu's reaction, she smiled. "It seems your Icechill really values Evolution. Just mentioning it caused a change in its emotions."
To evolve, it obediently let you pet it for so long; how could it not value it... Qiao Sang thought to herself, sighing. "Recently, my other familiars have been Evolving one after another, so it also wants to Evolve as soon as possible."
"Icechill..."
Lulu looked at her Beastmaster with an expression that said, "Is it really that obvious?"
Doraris, noticing Icechill's reaction, added to her previous statement: "You do have a point. Since Icechill has heard our conversation, it might blame me for the idea when it doesn't Evolve for a long time."
"Icechill."
Lulu turned to the emotional energy expert.
Good to know.
Doraris continued, "For a familiar to Evolve using emotional energy, it's not just about generating the right emotion; it needs to reach a certain Vibration Frequency. In my opinion, your Icechill might generate Despair because it can't Evolve, but that Despair's Vibration Frequency won't be enough to Evolve it into a General-Class Beast Companion."
Despair isn't hard to achieve, but reaching the level of Despair needed for Evolution is extremely difficult. If not Evolving doesn't make Lulu feel that level of Despair, she couldn't imagine what would... Qiao Sang and Lulu exchanged a look of mutual despair.
Seeing Qiao Sang deflated by her words, Doraris spoke gently, "Your Icechill's internal energy hasn't reached the level needed for Evolution yet. There's no need to rush into Despair, especially since there's no Sandstorm environment right now."
She paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you heard of a familiar called Emotion Swap?"
Qiao Sang nodded. "It's an Advanced Ghost Familiar from Supernest, known for swapping emotions between people."
"Exactly", Doraris confirmed. "For Icechill to generate the Despair needed for Evolution, it must be its own emotion, which will then activate the internal energy and create a resonance."
"Emotion Swap has a Trait that can swap emotions between two targets for a certain period, leaving residual emotions in both."
"In other words, once the time is up and the emotions are swapped back, your Icechill can experience emotions it didn't originally have from the other party."
"I suggest you find an Emotion Swap and some targets who are currently in Despair, and try swapping emotions to see if you can gradually accumulate Despair."
"Icechill..." Lulu tried to understand the implications of these words.
Qiao Sang's eyes lit up. "Teacher, do you know anyone at our school who has an Emotion Swap?"
Doraris already had someone in mind. "Charles Coppola from the fourth-year Field Exploration program has one."
