Chapter 714: Barzai Mountains (Third Update for Snow Moon Flower Time Guild Leader!)
The next day.
During the second break, Qiao Sang had Treasure Seeker directly transport her to the entrance of the seventh research base.
Yulinton University's research bases are strictly off-limits to unauthorized personnel and prohibit familiars from using their Skills or Traits to enter.
If someone enters without swiping their card, an immediate alert will sound, and they will be recorded with a disciplinary action. This is one of the stricter rules in the university's regulations.
Qiao Sang presented her student card to her Mechanical Pet.
The Mechanical Pet scanned it with its eyes and quickly granted her access.
Qiao Sang carried Fangy into the research center.
Dr. Doralar was holding a glass test tube filled with purple liquid, feeding it to a Grass-Type Companion Beast about 30 centimeters tall with two green leaves on its head.
The familiar with the two green leaves on its head cooperatively drank the liquid and smacked its lips.
"Alright", Dr. Doralar glanced at the mechanical clock on the wall and said, "Come back to me in two hours."
"Okay."
The familiar with the two green leaves nodded and walked toward the Containment Area.
"You're here", Doraris looked at Qiao Sang and greeted her.
Qiao Sang nodded and asked curiously, "What did it just drink?"
"That's a Dada Grass with emotional apathy syndrome", Doraris explained. "The potion I gave it can slightly enhance its emotional perception."
After saying that, she remembered Qiao Sang's Icechill and smiled, "Icechill's Healing Light can only treat physical conditions. For a case like Dada Grass, it can only be treated step by step."
Qiao Sang learned something new; familiars can have emotional apathy syndrome... Thinking of her purpose for coming here, she got straight to the point, "Yesterday, my Icechill absorbed two waves of Despair energy. Does this emotional influence have a time limit?"
Doraris replied, "It depends on Icechill's own emotional processing. Familiars have diverse personalities. Some are easily affected and can get stuck in a rut, while others are more carefree and the influence fades in a few minutes."
The latter must be referring to Treasure Seeker... Qiao Sang thought of another matter and said, "I have an elder who mentioned that on our Blue Star, there's a familiar called the Gis Egg, which can amplify a target's emotions to the maximum extent. Could this be related to emotional energy vibration frequency?"
Doraris was taken aback, her eyes lighting up, "You're sure it amplifies emotions to the maximum extent?"
"Yes", Qiao Sang nodded.
Doraris's face lit up with excitement, "If it truly amplifies emotions to the maximum extent, it would be a huge help for our research!"
She began to speak animatedly, "Actually, there are many familiars that can influence a target's emotions. In our Supernest, the most common one is the Swift Butterfly. I've conducted many experiments with these emotion-influencing familiars, but I found that they affect the dopamine in the brain, not the emotional energy vibration frequency directly."
"Later, we realized that the emotional energy influence wasn't strong enough, so we've been looking for familiars with an S-Class emotion Trait. Unfortunately, such familiars are extremely rare."
"If what you say is true, the Gis Egg could replace the S-Class emotion Trait familiars in our research!"
"I'll go write the application report right away! I'll have the Gis Egg transported from Blue Star!"
With that, Doraris turned and left eagerly.
Well, I haven't mentioned that the Gis Egg is monopolized... Qiao Sang opened her mouth to speak.
At that moment, the class bell rang.
Never mind, a family monopoly is different from an endangered familiar. If we're willing to pay a high price, they should agree.
Qiao Sang looked at Air.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker appeared, its eyes glowing blue.
The next second, Qiao Sang vanished from the spot.
...
The students at Yulinton University are incredibly stable.
Qiao Sang spent the entire day searching and only found one instance of Emotion Swap in the bathroom.
In the evening, Qiao Sang returned home.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker saw the computer on the coffee table in the living room and its eyes lit up, instinctively floating over.
Qiao Sang coughed once.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker's body immediately stiffened, and he pitifully turned his head.
Qiao Sang coldly and mercilessly refused:
"No playing."
She had read the Beastmaster Codex before bed last night and saw that Treasure Seeker's Substitute had already reached the peak of Mastery.
Continuing to train him in this way would have no effect.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker instantly felt emo.
"Ya Ya."
Fangy consoled him, indicating that the computer wasn't that interesting and that it was better to train with him.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker looked at Fangy with an expression that said, "You don't understand anything."
Qiao Sang involuntarily glanced at Emotion Swap and saw that it wasn't showing any signs of activity.
It seemed that Treasure Seeker wasn't desperate about not being able to play the computer anymore...
What a shame... Qiao Sang felt a bit regretful for some reason.
After dinner, once the Body-Forge Worm's at-home service was over, Qiao Sang washed up and rested. Then, she took Lulu to the Nine Realms Amusement Park.
"Emo!"
As soon as they arrived at the Sky Battle on Water area, the previously quiet Emotion Swap suddenly sniffed the air and showed an expression of "It's alive."
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy, who had experience translating for its Beastmaster, automatically started translating without being prompted.
There's a lot of despair!
Lulu was still affected by the lingering despair and was in a low mood, showing no significant reaction.
Isn't this an amusement park? Why would anyone feel despair here? Qiao Sang was taken aback, but then she saw that the targets of Emotion Swap's gaze were all familiar faces.
She quickly remembered where she had seen these people before.
Good grief, weren't these the tourists who had been queuing up to play Sky Battle on Water recently?
Seeing them occasionally glance at her and Lulu, Qiao Sang immediately understood why they were feeling despair.
She hadn't expected this kind of reward... Qiao Sang suppressed her laughter and nodded at Emotion Swap.
"Emo."
Emotion Swap, with its good understanding, comprehended the nod despite the human not being its Beastmaster.
The next moment, Emotion Swap vanished.
When Emotion Swap affects a target's emotions, it displays white mist. Although it wouldn't be too noticeable at night, it was still better not to be too obvious... Qiao Sang looked at the quiet Lulu.
She hoped to collect the emotions faster. She didn't want to see Lulu always enveloped in despair, but she wasn't quite ready for Evolution yet.
Better to endure a short pain than a long one...
Two hours later, Lulu kept winning first place, but her mood grew increasingly low.
...
The next day.
8:30 AM.
Qiao Sang, with Lulu in her backpack and Fangy in her arms, arrived at a landmark statue of a familiar at Yulinton University.
Three minutes later, Char and a brown-haired girl walked over side by side.
They both carried backpacks that looked like they had a huge capacity.
"Emo..."
Emotion Swap, seeing its Beastmaster, instinctively wanted to float over but remembered its mission and restrained itself.
"Let me introduce you. This is Carol from the Cultivation Department." Char said with a smile.
"Hello", Carol extended her hand.
"Hello", Qiao Sang smiled and shook her hand.
"This is Qiao Sang from the Beast Mastery Department." Char said.
Carol glanced at Fangy and said:
"I've heard of you. You're only in your first year, yet you've already raised two General-Class Beast Companions."
I'm that famous already... Qiao Sang felt pleased but then thought of something and asked:
"Are we just the three of us?"
"Just the three of us." Char glanced at his watch and said, "It's not early anymore. Let's head out now."
"Where are we going?" Qiao Sang asked.
Char smiled. "The Barzai Mountains."
The Barzai Mountains? Qiao Sang didn't react much.
She wasn't familiar with Supernest and had only learned the basics during her time there, such as the differences between the Upper Ten Districts, Middle Ten Districts, and Lower Ten Districts, as well as some basic information about familiars.
Char hadn't considered the possibility of Qiao Sang's "ignorance." Seeing that her expression didn't change when she heard "Barzai Mountains", he couldn't help but admire her internally.
Truly a prodigy from the Beast Mastery Department, to remain so calm upon hearing about the Imperial Wild Dragon's habitat.
