Chapter 809: Society and Familiar Behavior College (Combined)
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker removed the Ring, which gradually enlarged. She then extended her claws to pull Adinix out, who was still munching on snacks and stuffing them into his mouth.
Liu Yao stared at the unfamiliar, obese familiar with a mix of shock and confusion. Suddenly, he remembered something and, with trembling hands, pulled out the Familiar Identifier he had received after upgrading to Supernest, aiming it at the familiar.
"Ding ding."
Adinix, unfazed, continued to eat.
A mechanical voice echoed through the living room:
"Identifying, please wait... Sorry, identification failed. Update is recommended."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker considerately handed her Familiar Identifier over.
"Thank you..." Liu Yao took it and aimed it at the familiar, who was still engrossed in his food.
"Let me see, let me see..." A voice identical to Treasure Seeker's quickly chimed in:
"Adinix, the legendary Phantom Beast, which awakens only once every hundred years. It is said that the flute melody it plays can predict the exact Evolution Site of a familiar... Oh my gosh, it's actually Adinix! Although the Adinix before us looks a bit different from the records, its Red Flute is unique! Owner, you've really made it! You actually have a legendary Phantom Beast!"
"Ding, burp~"
Adinix glanced at the Familiar Identifier, burped, and continued eating.
Ah, Adinix, it's really a Phantom Beast... Liu Yao's pupils dilated, and his brain felt like it had crashed, unable to process the information.
As an experienced Familiar Trainer and researcher, he had seen many rare familiars.
But a Phantom Beast, this is a Phantom Beast!
It couldn't be described simply as "rare."
He never dreamed he would actually see a Phantom Beast with his own eyes!
And it was from another planet, right here, less than three meters away from him!
Liu Yao felt dizzy and stood there, dumbfounded, like a statue.
He couldn't understand how Qiao Sang had managed to meet Adinix in such a short time and bring it home.
This was even more surreal than when Lin Ya showed up and was introduced as a friend.
After all, Lin Ya was a person, capable of communication, and occasionally had a transparent schedule. The Phantom Beast, on the other hand, was a creature that only existed in legends, with an unpredictable and elusive nature.
Liu Yao stared at Adinix for a long time, muttering to himself:
"It's really a Phantom Beast..."
He looked at Qiao Sang.
His eyes conveyed a sense of bewilderment, almost as if he were looking at a madman.
"Vice Principal, Adinix ate all of Fangy and the others' Energy Pills. I'm afraid I'll need to trouble you to make more", Qiao Sang said, somewhat embarrassed.
"How could you let Adinix eat Fangy and the others' Energy Pills!" Liu Yao's eyes widened, his voice filled with urgency.
This is a Phantom Beast!
There might be only one in the world!
The Energy Pills for Fangy and the others were custom-made based on their individual conditions.
What if something goes wrong with Adinix after eating them!
Qiao Sang waved her hand, sighing:
"I didn't want to, but Adinix got into Treasure Seeker's Ring and ate all the food inside."
"Ding ding..."
Adinix, hearing this, paused his eating to comment.
It wasn't for nothing that he ate those; the food was the interest on the flute he played.
Treasure Seeker huffed but didn't translate.
She had given it plenty of food before.
Liu Yao's state of mind had steadied somewhat. He took a deep breath and asked the question that had been nagging him:
"How did you find Adinix?"
"It was like this. I went to Zone Thirty..." Qiao Sang's eyes sparkled as she recounted in detail everything that had happened in Zone Thirty.
Liu Yao's expression grew increasingly grave as he listened.
He hadn't expected Qiao Sang to encounter so many events in just a few days.
"Safe return is all that matters..." Liu Yao sighed after hearing her story.
Then, he saw Adinix, who was still eating, and fell silent again.
If encountering such events could bring back a Phantom Beast, no one would refuse...
Liu Yao paused for a moment before asking:
"Why did Adinix come back with you?"
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure. It wanted to come with me."
As she said this, she glanced at Adinix and added:
"Perhaps I helped it with something, and it trusts me."
To be honest, she had some suspicions.
Adinix seemed to have a voracious appetite. Not only did it eat all the food in Treasure Seeker's Ring, but it hadn't stopped eating since. She seriously suspected that Adinix followed her back for the food.
However, Adinix was right there, so she couldn't say it outright.
"Beep."
Adinix nodded while stuffing something into his mouth, indicating that it was indeed the case.
Liu Yao saw Adinix's state and, after holding back for a while, finally couldn't help but speak up:
"Don't eat so recklessly; it's not good for your health."
Adinix ignored him.
Qiao Sang chimed in:
"He's a Familiar Trainer. The Energy Pills you ate in the Ring were all made by him. If you like them, you can tell him your preferred flavors, and he can make custom Energy Pills for you."
Liu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then cautiously asked:
"Is Adinix going to stay here for a long time?"
"Uncertain, but it looks that way", Qiao Sang replied. "I asked Adinix to predict the next Evolution Site for Fangy and the others, but he needs to rest for a while after his recent prediction. So, he'll be staying here during this period."
Living under the same roof with a Phantom Beast for a long time?! Liu Yao's expression froze for a few seconds, then his face turned bright red. He looked at Adinix, his eyes shining so intensely that they could almost emit lasers:
"I can do it! I can make any flavor of Energy Pills you like!"
"Beep."
Adinix had been eating non-stop and was already quite full. His appetite wasn't as ravenous as it initially was.
He looked at the human in front of him, then at the other human who had brought him from Zone Thirty, and nodded, indicating that it was fine.
The usually composed Liu Yao's face lit up with joy and excitement.
Being able to make custom Energy Pills for a Phantom Beast was something he could proudly write in his life's history!
"Can I check your body and ask you a few questions?" Liu Yao asked cautiously.
"Beep." Adinix nodded.
Seeing this, Liu Yao instantly sprinted upstairs, grabbed his examination tools from his room, and began to carefully examine Adinix.
Qiao Sang watched for a while, then remembered she still had things to do. She returned to her room and uploaded the familiars she wanted to rent after finishing the edits.
...
8:40 PM.
Inside the room.
The Body-Forge Worm slowly crawled out of Qiao Sang's mouth.
After the Body-Forge Worm left, Qiao Sang rushed to the bathroom and vomited for a while. She turned on the Waterborne Dragon faucet and rinsed her mouth with water.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she recalled the training process, her expression somewhat dazed.
After all this time of training, the pain from the Body-Forge Worm entering her body had significantly decreased. However, during the night before going to Zone Thirty, the pain was still noticeable.
But just now, when the Body-Forge Worm entered her body, it was only a bit nauseating, and there was almost no pain.
Could it be that the second stage of training her Defensive Power was complete?
"Steel Slash?"
As she was thinking, Steel Treasure flapped its wings and flew in, looking eager for knowledge. It called out, asking why it couldn't use different Skills simultaneously like Fangy could with its Clone and original form.
Qiao Sang looked at it and patiently replied:
"Your Clone just learned it. When Fangy first learned to Clone, it couldn't immediately use different Skills with its Clone and original form. It takes practice."
"Steel Slash?"
Steel Treasure called out again.
How do I practice?
"You need to learn to multitask", Qiao Sang, with her previous training experience, explained smoothly. "First, use your Clone, then have your original form do something else while controlling the Clone. For example, have the Clone train while the original feeds the Crystal Producers."
"Initially, don't do anything too difficult. For instance, have the Clone train while the original feeds the Crystal Producers; that level of task is fine."
The crystal the Crystal Producers now produced was barely enough to feed Steel Treasure.
But they had gotten along well, and Steel Treasure had gotten into the habit of preparing chili peppers for the Crystal Producers every day. Qiao Sang hadn't mentioned having the Crystal Producers leave.
Every journey might bring some familiars that you get along with, even if you can't bond with them. She didn't mind taking care of them during this journey.
Of course, the most important thing was that the Crystal Producers had small appetites, and she could still afford to keep them...
"Steel Slash..."
Hearing its Beastmaster's words, Steel Treasure seemed to be thinking. It then nodded and flapped its wings, flying out of the bathroom.
When Qiao Sang walked out of her room and entered the living room, she saw Steel Treasure using an automatic vacuum cleaner to clean the floor.
She realized something and turned to look at the glass wall that overlooked the open-air Arena.
In the open-air arena, a Steel Slash Falcon identical to Steel Treasure was controlling a purple-lighted feather blade in mid-air.
For a moment, Qiao Sang was overwhelmed with emotion, inexplicably thinking of Treasure Seeker.
If Treasure Seeker needed to practice multitasking, it would definitely have a clone to play games with…
“Xunxun…”
At the coffee table, Treasure Seeker, who was teaching Adinix how to play a game, suddenly felt a tickle in its nose and couldn't help but scratch it with its claws.
“Feels good?” Liu Yao, standing behind Adinix, was giving a professional massage.
When a familiar eats too much, a massage can aid digestion.
“Didi.” Adinix showed a comfortable expression, indicating it was doing well.
Qiao Sang looked over, her lips twitching, and said, “Treasure Seeker, get ready, we need to go help someone.”
Dean Liz had already sent over the list of terminal patients, and the Unlimited Credit Card was about to expire. She didn’t want to miss any opportunities to earn money.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker gave a sweet call to its Beastmaster, then looked at Adinix, its smile fading.
“Xunxun.”
It was leaving. Did Adinix want to come along?
“Didi.”
Adinix shut down the computer without hesitation and nodded.
…
Early morning, at the villa.
Qiao Sang yawned as she got up, habitually picking up her mobile phone to check it.
When she saw the message displayed on the Yuland Official Backend, she immediately perked up, feeling much more alert:
[Familiar Psychology Class 3-3, Mu Jing, has accepted your mission. Please confirm.]
Qiao Sang quickly logged into the backend, glanced at the other person’s photo and profile, and confirmed the mission.
Memories can fade, so it was best to confirm the Evolution Scene as soon as possible.
The planet was vast, and unless the location had distinctive landmarks, finding the place of Evolution wouldn’t be easy.
After a quick wash and brush-up, Qiao Sang entered the living room and was immediately struck by the abundance of food on the table.
Now that she was no longer a novice Beastmaster, she immediately recognized that almost all the food on the table was energy-rich familiar breakfast.
“Why did you make so much breakfast?” Qiao Sang asked, unable to resist, as she watched Vice Principal Liu Yao bustling in the kitchen.
Liu Yao smiled brightly, “I noticed Adinix seems to eat a lot, so I made a few more dishes to see which ones it likes.”
This must be the treatment for a Phantom Beast… Qiao Sang pulled out a chair and sat down, hesitating as she looked at the table full of dishes.
“What about mine?”
Liu Yao paused, silently put down the fruit in her hand, opened the fridge, took out a few slices of bread, and put them in the toaster, saying, “I’ll make yours now, it’ll be ready soon.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
She felt like her status had plummeted ever since Adinix arrived…
…
Forty minutes later.
Yulinton University.
“Where have you been on leave these past few days?” Dorothy asked.
“I went to Zone Thirty.”
Dorothy was curious, “What for?”
Qiao Sang didn’t hide it, “I received a message that Zone Thirty might have Adinix, so I went to see if I could encounter it.”
Dorothy looked surprised, “Just for that, you went to such a chaotic place as Zone Thirty?”
Qiao Sang looked at her, “Isn’t that enough?”
“Phantom Beasts aren’t something you can just see whenever you want,” Dorothy couldn’t help but comment, “Many places spread rumors about Phantom Beasts or legendary familiars to deliberately attract people, boosting local economic development.”
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, “The message I received wasn’t fake.”
Dorothy’s eyebrows raised slightly, teasing, “You really encountered Adinix?”
Qiao Sang didn’t say anything, pulled out her mobile phone, opened the photo of Treasure Seeker being held by Adinix, and handed it over.
Dorothy didn’t think much of it and glanced down.
One look was all it took for her to be stunned, unable to speak for a long time.
Adinix?
The one in the photo was Adinix?
Qiao Sang really encountered the Phantom Beast Adinix?!
Dorothy looked at Qiao Sang in disbelief, about to ask for confirmation.
Qiao Sang “shushed” her, whispering, “Keep it secret.”
Dorothy instantly covered her mouth, nodding repeatedly.
…
After the morning classes ended, Qiao Sang didn’t waste any time and headed straight to the Society and Familiar Behavior College.
Soon, she saw a person who matched the photo downstairs.
Black hair, brown eyes, and a gentle, scholarly demeanor.
The person clearly knew who she was and ran over, extending a hand with a smile, “Hello, I’m Mu Jing.”
