Chapter 819: Brainy Monkey
Chapter 819: Brainy Monkey
It wasn’t until the third break that Qiao Sang received a private message from the Beastmaster Alliance Authorities backend:
[Leona from the Beastmaster Alchemy Department, Year 5 (Class 2): I have B-Rank Flame Cleansing Elixir. One vial costs 5 credits, and I need the payment in full upfront. Will you accept?]
Qiao Sang’s first thought was: Damn, that’s so cheap! After all, when she helped the Vice Principal borrow materials-related books, it cost her 5 credits per day.
Her second thought was: I should haggle, maybe I can get a discount…
With that in mind, Qiao Sang typed: [If I buy in bulk, can you give me a discount?]
About a minute later, the other party replied:
[There’s no discount on the credits, but I’ll give you an extra vial of B-Rank Flame Cleansing Elixir.]
A course of treatment requires 10 vials, and three courses are needed for the full effect. An extra vial... would it even be useful? Qiao Sang mused to herself but replied: [Deal.]
The price was already a pleasant surprise to her, and since she was about to leave Yulinton University, it made sense to spend her remaining credits rather than let them go to waste.
As soon as the message was sent, a notification popped up in the backend:
[Leona from the Beastmaster Alchemy Department, Year 5 (Class 2) has accepted your mission.]
...
After the morning classes ended, the students began to leave the classroom one by one.
Qiao Sang quietly waited at her desk.
“Ya Ya?”
Fangy looked up, her expression puzzled. Wasn’t she going to leave?
“Didn’t you want to practice increasing the temperature of your Fire Energy?” Qiao Sang explained. “I bought some Flame Cleansing Elixir. This potion can boost the temperature of Fire Energy. Someone will be delivering it soon.”
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy’s eyes lit up, and she wagged her tail wildly, happily nuzzling her Beastmaster’s face.
“Steel Slash…”
Steel Treasure watched the scene quietly from the side. When it saw the contented look on its Beastmaster’s face, it couldn’t help but imagine itself in Fangy’s place.
Its head was so hard; if it nuzzled like that, its Beastmaster’s expression would definitely be different…
At that moment, a tall senior with black hair and black eyes walked into the classroom. She had heavy dark circles under her eyes, a clear sign of frequent late nights.
Beside her was a monkey familiar, about a meter tall, almost entirely white, and also with heavy dark circles under its eyes.
Qiao Sang immediately recognized her as Leona, the one who had accepted the mission.
Leona walked straight over.
Brainy Monkey, a General-Class Beast Companion of the General type, known for its excellent memory and intelligence on par with humans… Qiao Sang’s mind automatically recalled the information about the familiar.
Just as she was about to speak, a voice with the same tone as Treasure Seeker’s sounded:
[Let me see~ Brainy Monkey, a General-Class Beast Companion of the General type, with extremely high intelligence. When it thinks, it tilts its head back to increase the flexibility of its brain cells. In short, it’s smart but not much of a fighter.]
Qiao Sang: “…”
Brainy Monkey quietly glanced in the direction of the Beast Identifier, which had appeared out of nowhere.
However, the Beast Identifier quickly disappeared.
Leona, seemingly unaware of the Beast Identifier’s voice, confirmed with an unchanged expression:
“Qiao Sang?”
“It’s me,” Qiao Sang nodded.
“Here are your 31 vials of Flame Cleansing Elixir.”
Leona finished speaking, and Brainy Monkey placed its black backpack on the table and unzipped it. Inside were vials containing bright red liquid.
Brainy Monkey started placing the vials one by one on the table.
“Count them,” Leona said.
Why bother counting when Brainy Monkey is placing them one by one… Qiao Sang said, “No need, I trust you.”
“Fangy, Fangy”
Fangy lifted its claws and carefully counted each bottle.
Leona was taken aback, not expecting such a response.
Brainy Monkey took out a few sheets of paper from the backpack and handed them over.
"These are the authentication papers for the Flame Cleansing Elixirs", Leona's tone softened considerably, as if someone who had just had a good night's sleep after a long night, visibly in a better mood.
Qiao Sang took the papers, glanced over them, then picked up his mobile phone, tapped a few buttons, and set it down, saying, "I've transferred the credits. Check it out."
Leona didn't take out her phone, "I trust you."
No, you should check, you know... Qiao Sang smiled, "I'll be going now."
He then looked in the direction where Treasure Seeker was hiding.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker appeared.
Brainy Monkey glanced at it.
Treasure Seeker met Brainy Monkey's gaze and flashed a friendly smile.
Brainy Monkey: "..."
"Fangy"
Fangy remained unaffected by the surrounding atmosphere, its eyes glowing with Blue Light as it focused on carefully putting each bottle of Flame Cleansing Elixir back into the backpack.
"Wait", Leona called out.
Qiao Sang looked over.
Leona glanced at Fangy and said calmly, "I'm not sure when your Flame Kiru Evolved, but I know it's a General-Class Beast Companion. If you're planning to give it the Flame Cleansing Elixir, I suggest you wait a bit longer. A B-Rank Flame Cleansing Elixir is suitable for General-Class late-stage or Royal Beasts."
"Using this level of Flame Cleansing Elixir on a General-Class mid or early-stage familiar will cause great pain and may even leave hidden issues."
"Fangy"
By then, Fangy had already put all the Flame Cleansing Elixirs back into the backpack. Hearing this, it silently withdrew its claws that were about to take out a bottle.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and asked, "What if we provide treatment during the process?"
Leona didn't respond immediately.
Qiao Sang was already a celebrity at Yulinton University, and everyone had been discussing his familiars, their levels, attributes, and skills.
She naturally knew that he had an Iceapura that could use Healing Light.
It seemed he was planning to have Iceapura use Healing Light while Flame Kiru was consuming the Flame Cleansing Elixir.
Using a skill like Healing Light, which was almost divine, just to alleviate the pain from the potion...
The image was hard to imagine...
Leona hesitated, then finally nodded, "It's possible."
Qiao Sang felt relieved.
...
One minute later.
Villa.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy plopped down on the ground, its expression serious as it stared at the red potion in its hand, opened it, and drank it.
Lulu watched Fangy closely, ready to provide treatment at any moment.
"Ya Ya?"
After about three minutes, Fangy wagged its tail and blinked.
Where's the pain?
I don't feel anything.
"It might take a bit longer", Qiao Sang said hesitantly.
"Ya!"
Fangy's expression turned serious again.
Ten minutes later, Fangy's condition finally changed, as if it was enduring something.
"Lulu", Qiao Sang called out.
"Ice Ai", Lulu responded, indicating she understood.
"Rumble..."
Just as she was condensing her energy to cast Healing Light, a sound came from Fangy's stomach.
"Fangy"
Fangy finally couldn't hold it any longer and collapsed on the ground.
It was hungry...
Qiao Sang: "..."
Lulu: "..."
