Chapter 824: Not Understanding, But Respecting
Chapter 824: Not Understanding, But Respecting
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy was quite excited, running over to Treasure Seeker and calling out, indicating that they should start training right away!
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker was startled and quickly shook its head, signaling that it wasn't time for training yet.
"Fangy"
Fangy's expression turned to one of disappointment, and it called out again, indicating that it would wait outside.
With that, Fangy walked towards the Open Training Ground and started its own training.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker looked pitifully at its Beastmaster.
Do I really have to go?
Qiao Sang nodded: "If you want to be able to make all your opponents fall with just a single burst of aura."
"Xunxun……"
Treasure Seeker still looked pitiful.
Actually, it didn't really want such a powerful aura…
Qiao Sang: "……"
Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Do your Little Brothers outside know how timid you are?"
"Xunxun……"
Treasure Seeker paused and shook its head.
They don't know.
Qiao Sang said calmly: "What do you think would happen if I told your Little Brothers about your current state?"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker's eyes instantly welled with tears, looking tragic.
Fine, I'll go!
That's better… Qiao Sang said with a smile: "The training will indeed be tough for a while, but I'll let you play on the computer for an extra hour in the evenings."
"Xunxun……"
Treasure Seeker's spirits didn't lift much.
If the price for an extra hour on the computer every day is daily battle training with Big Brother Fangy, maybe the computer isn't that important after all…
The computer isn't as appealing to Treasure Seeker anymore… That's good, at least there's no need to worry about it becoming a net-addicted familiar in the future… After arranging the training for Fangy and Treasure Seeker, Qiao Sang turned and saw Adinix still continuing its activities. She walked over to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down, asking:
"Still can't do the Prediction?"
Over the past month, Qiao Sang and Birit had asked this question periodically, and Adinix had long grown accustomed to it.
"Adinix."
Adinix shook its head without hesitation.
Still can't.
Cheater… Qiao Sang muttered to herself, but sighed aloud: "But we can only stay on this planet for a maximum of 27 days. What will we do if you still can't do the Prediction by then?"
The Library of the Beastmaster Alliance University houses almost all valuable books from ancient times to the present, including detailed descriptions of Phantom Beasts, and Adinix is naturally included in them.
About half a month ago, she had specifically gone to the Library to look for books about Adinix, hoping to find something that could help Adinix recover quickly. Instead, she found the statement: "For Adinix, doing a Prediction is as simple as eating or drinking."
Thinking back to how Adinix had been eating and drinking every day, barely playing the flute, she immediately realized she had been fooled.
But Adinix is a Royal Beast, and playing the flute can produce sounds with various effects, such as attacks and hypnosis. Forcing it to play a Prediction melody would be risky.
If things went wrong, Adinix might pretend to agree to play the flute and then hypnotize itself to escape.
After all, from a statistical standpoint, the older a familiar is, the more cunning it tends to be.
She didn't want to expose Adinix's lies and start a conflict.
After all, they had spent some time together, and she had developed a certain affection for Adinix.
"Adinix?"
Adinix looked confused.
You're leaving after 27 days?
"Steel Slash."
Steel Treasure, which was still eating nearby, called out, translating for Adinix.
"That's right", Qiao Sang nodded. "You know, I'm still a student, here as an Interstellar Exchange Student. I'll leave after this semester."
“Adinix……”
Adinix thought about how he could only enjoy such days for another 27 days, and the food in his hands suddenly lost its appeal.
He sighed heavily.
Seeing Adinix's expression, Qiao Sang sensed an opportunity and tentatively suggested:
“Why don't you try playing the Flute to see if your abilities have recovered?”
“Adinix.”
Adinix looked up at the human in front of him, his expression suddenly serious.
“What did it say?” Qiao Sang quickly asked Steel Treasure.
“Steel Slash.”
Steel Treasure translated calmly.
He said he remembered something that might help him recover his Prediction ability sooner.
Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment, then she said with delight, “What is it?”
Although Adinix was still lying, he was clearly starting to give in.
“Adinix.”
Adinix called out and vanished from the spot.
Two seconds later, he reappeared, holding a notebook computer.
Qiao Sang immediately recognized it as the computer she had left on her desk.
She hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.
“Adinix.”
Adinix skillfully opened the computer, launched a browser, and started typing away on the keyboard.
One by one, pictures of food appeared on the screen.
“Adinix.”
Adinix pointed at all the images on the screen.
This, this, this, and this... he needed all of them.
Qiao Sang's lips twitched, and she asked with a forced smile, “Jelly, chips, popcorn, fruit candy... and curls, are you sure about these?”
“Adinix.” Adinix nodded.
“I understand.” Qiao Sang picked up her mobile phone and started placing an order on a food delivery website.
“Adinix.”
At this moment, Adinix called out again.
Qiao Sang looked at Steel Treasure, her eyes asking for an explanation.
“Steel Slash.”
Steel Treasure translated.
He said these things might help, but they weren't guaranteed to work.
Qiao Sang: “......”
This guy must have realized she knew he was lying!
Now he wasn't even bothering to pretend!
Qiao Sang looked at Adinix.
Adinix blinked innocently.
Qiao Sang finally gave in, sighing in resignation as she continued to place the order on her mobile phone.
“Adinix……”
Seeing the human's expression, Adinix couldn't help but laugh. The food in his hands suddenly tasted better again.
……
Half an hour later, Treasure Seeker floated towards the Open Training Ground with a look of solemn determination.
Qiao Sang brought Steel Treasure to the indoor Training Field.
After Steel Treasure demonstrated his training results, Qiao Sang was silent for a long time before speaking:
“The Coordination Competition values elegance. By firing all your feathers at once, you do show that you've mastered Blade Feather and demonstrate your strength.”
She paused, then continued:
“But the sight of you without any feathers is rather unappealing.”
“Steel Slash?”
Steel Treasure looked puzzled.
Strength is beauty, isn't it?
“Sometimes, humans and familiars have different standards of beauty,” Qiao Sang explained frankly. “Humans prefer the look of a bird familiar with a full, elegant set of feathers.”
“Steel Slash.”
Steel Treasure called out, indicating he understood.
Actually, he still didn't quite get it.
After using Blade Feather, his feathers would return. He would still display his strength, and his appearance would revert to the way humans liked, just a brief moment of being featherless.
But this was a human society competition.
He might not understand, but he would respect it.
……
This month, I've been so diligent, please give me a monthly vote!
