Chapter 890: How About Calling You Qingbao? (Merged)
Windborne Trait (S-Rank)? Or Max?!
After the initial shock, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up.
It's no wonder a Legendary Familiar is called a Legend. Just the fact that its Junior Stage exclusive Trait can reach S-Class potential explains why its Racial Limit can reach the Divine Rank.
Qiao Sang took a deep breath, trying to calm her excitement.
The description of Qingqing Ni mentions that it loves to float around on the wind, able to slip through even the tiniest gaps like a breeze.
Perhaps all Qingqing Ni are born with their exclusive Trait at full status.
After all, it is the Wind's Darling.
Calm down, Qingqing Ni is a Legendary Familiar, so having an S-Class Trait makes perfect sense... Qiao Sang's gaze moved down.
Charming Body (A-Class)...
Another high-level Trait. She recalled that for most Fairy Companions, the Charming Body Trait usually causes the opposite-sex familiar using contact-type skills to have a 30% chance of falling into an Enchantment State.
70% is a very high chance.
The issue is that this Trait only works if the familiar using contact-type skills attacks. If things go wrong, the target might be enchanted, but they could also be knocked out by the contact skill.
Similar to the Cursed Body and Cursed Body of the Treasure Seeker, it requires the familiar to be attacked first.
Fairy Companions generally don't have strong defenses, so it's best to try and prevent Qingqing Ni from being attacked... Qiao Sang's thoughts raced as she continued reading.
When her gaze fell on the next Trait, she paused, unsure if she had read it correctly.
She remembered that the books said familiars with a Mischievous Heart usually have a bit of a mischievous personality.
But Qingqing Ni is so well-behaved; how could it be mischievous?
This Trait would make more sense for the Treasure Seeker to Awaken...
However, Traits aren't absolute, and there can be variations...
Qiao Sang refocused her thoughts.
Familiars with a Mischievous Heart can use Status Skills first, but they are ineffective against Dark-Type Moves.
Status Skills typically don't cause direct damage; instead, they affect the battle by changing the environment, status, or conditions.
Lulu's Healing Waves, Rain Invocation, Aurora Curtain, Hailstorm, and the Treasure Seeker's Substitute, as well as Steel Treasure's Feather Rest, are all considered Status Skills.
In most cases, the speed at which familiars use Skills depends on how quickly they can condense their energy. It's unclear how this Trait allows them to act first...
Even if the opponent is three or four levels higher, could they still use the Skill faster?
Don't overthink things, Qiao Sang decided. She would ask Teacher Mikara about it later.
With a Distinguished Mentor from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy by her side, there's no need to waste brain cells on everything.
Qiao Sang looked at the Skills section.
Fairy Wind, a Fairy-type Advanced Skill. It summons a Fairy Wind to attack the target, different from Wind Element Flying-type Skills in that it is filled with Fairy energy.
The level is Novice, and the data still shows 1, indicating that Qingqing Ni hasn't used this Skill yet...
The next Skill is Enchantment.
Hmm?
Enchantment?!
Qiao Sang's eyes lit up the moment she saw this Skill.
To be honest, she has been interested in this Skill for a long time, and she didn't expect that the bonded Qingqing Ni would have it.
Most books about Legendary Familiars focus on their legendary deeds, describing how powerful they are and how they have changed the world.
In reality, there is very little information about Legendary Familiars, let alone how to raise them or determine their gender.
Of course, a few Legendary Familiars are easy to identify by gender because their male and female Divine Forms are different.
Qingqing Ni’s Divine Form, however, is the same for both genders.
Since there are no records on how to determine gender, I’ll use the Enchantment skill to confirm.
Qiao Sang’s mood brightened as she continued reading.
Misty Field, a Fairy-type Advanced Skill. When used, this skill creates a field that protects familiars from Abnormal Status effects for a certain period and reduces the damage of Dragon-attribute skills by half.
What a great skill for team battles… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but marvel. Then, she thought of something and pondered for a moment.
Misty Field is a status-changing move. Once we get back to the Beastmaster Center, I can have Qingqing Ni, Lulu, Treasure Seeker, or Steel Treasure test it out to see which one should use it first…
While thinking, she glanced at the last skill.
Tailwind.
A Flying-type Advanced Skill. When used, this skill creates a powerful whirlwind that increases the Speed of all team members for a certain period.
With Misty Field, Tailwind, and Mischievous Heart, isn’t Qingqing Ni a bit overqualified for solo battles…
Qiao Sang shook her head, quickly dispelling the thought.
What am I thinking? This is a Legendary Familiar, one that can evolve to Divine Rank and become a Disaster Deity. It’s only a Junior now, but it already has an S-Class trait and two A-Class traits, along with three Advanced Skills. It’s definitely suitable for solo battles; it just hasn’t fully grown yet, and its current skills are better suited for team battles.
Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and returned to reality.
Her first glance fell on Qingqing Ni, who was looking down at the neon-lit city while sipping milk.
Her heart melted, and she couldn’t help but speak softly.
“Would you like to be called Qingbao?”
“Qingqing~”
Qingqing Ni looked over and smiled sweetly.
It liked the name.
“Good, if you like it.” Qiao Sang smiled.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker, hearing its Beastmaster’s words, floated over to Qingqing Ni and called out happily.
It’s called Treasure Seeker, and you can call it Leader.
Before Qingqing Ni could respond, Treasure Seeker felt two death glares.
It had gotten too excited and forgotten about Fangy and Lulu…
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker quickly rubbed the back of its head, putting on a “just kidding” face.
Just call it Treasure Seeker.
“Qingqing.”
Qingqing Ni nodded.
Treasure Seeker sighed.
It seemed developing a second little brother wouldn’t be so easy.
…
At the Beastmaster Center.
Qiao Sang rented a room, had Treasure Seeker charge her phone, and checked the time. It was only a little after 8 PM, so she went to knock on Teacher Mikara’s door.
No response.
“Qingqing?”
Qingqing Ni transformed into a breeze and didn’t appear.
A gentle wind blew, and its voice sounded.
Are you looking for another human?
Qiao Sang nodded. “This is my teacher. I’ve been adventuring with her. I want her to meet you.”
“Qingqing.”
Hearing this, Qingqing Ni materialized, smoothing the clouds beneath it and standing straight.
It’s so well-behaved… Qiao Sang thought, then knocked on the door again. Still, no response.
She turned and said,
"It seems she's not here. No worries, I'll give her a call."
"Qingqing."
Qingqing Ni nodded and transformed back into wind, disappearing from the spot.
Qiao Sang returned to the room and picked up Treasure Seeker's mobile phone. She recalled the number for a moment and dialed it from memory.
Just as she was about to call, she remembered something:
Treasure Seeker's mobile phone didn't have a Sim card...
Qiao Sang quietly put the phone down.
The business hall would be closed at this time, so she'd have to wait until tomorrow to get a new Sim card.
Even in the Beastmaster world, not having a mobile phone was so inconvenient...
"Xunxun?"
At that moment, Treasure Seeker called out, asking the question that had been puzzling it for a while.
Why couldn't it make calls with its mobile phone?
"Because it doesn't have a Sim card", Qiao Sang replied.
"Xunxun?" Treasure Seeker asked again.
What is a Sim card?
"It's a card that requires real-name registration. Once you put it in your mobile phone, you can make calls", Qiao Sang explained.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker's eyes lit up with understanding, then it floated over and nuzzled Qiao Sang's head, looking pleading.
Could it get a Sim card and put it in?
Qiao Sang gave it an amused look and flatly refused:
"No."
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker's spirits sank.
"Qingqing?"
Qingqing Ni glanced at Treasure Seeker, then at its Beastmaster, looking confused.
Why not?
Treasure Seeker's eyes instantly brightened, and it looked at its future little brother with a burning gaze, then at its Beastmaster, wearing an expression of grievance.
"Xunxun..."
Yeah, why not?
Qiao Sang: "..."
Qiao Sang looked at Treasure Seeker and communicated with her eyes: Do you really want me to say it?
Treasure Seeker understood its Beastmaster's meaning and responded with its eyes: Say it, say it.
"Because you're too lazy", Qiao Sang bluntly said. "You always slack off during training. If your mobile phone could work properly, you'd probably spend even less time on training."
She paused and added, "If you get distracted by your mobile phone, I'm afraid Steel Treasure will surpass you in no time."
At these words, Treasure Seeker felt a sharp pain in its heart.
Little Brother surpass it?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
"Steel Blade..."
Steel Treasure was quietly training with Blade Feather nearby.
Without time to train in the Hidden Realm, it naturally focused on practice upon returning.
"Qingqing..."
Qingqing Ni, hearing this, looked at Treasure Seeker with an expression that said, "So you're that lazy."
The second arrow hit the heart.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker shouted.
Who said it was lazy!
It immediately pulled out the ants it had collected over the past period and started training in Misfortune Curse.
If Fifth One thought it was lazy, how could it ever be a leader?
Qiao Sang hadn't expected Qingbao to provide such a stimulus to Treasure Seeker... She felt it was a pleasant surprise.
Since she couldn't contact Teacher Mikara, she could at least check out Qingbao's skills.
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang looked at Qingqing Ni and asked,
"Are you tired?"
"Qingqing."
Qingqing Ni shook its head.
Qiao Sang stood up, "Then let's go to the Training Field to see your skills."
"Qingqing?"
Qingqing Ni called out, looking puzzled.
Why can't we check them here?
Qiao Sang smiled, "Of course, if we use your Fairy Wind and Tailwind skills in the room, what would happen to the things in here?"
"Qingqing?"
Qingqing Ni looked puzzled again.
How do you know it has those two skills?
Qiao Sang: "……"
Why did I see the shadow of the Treasure Seeker in Qingbao?
It must be an illusion, definitely an illusion...
Qingqing Ni has always stayed in the Hidden Realm, so she's naturally curious about everything outside.
That's right, it must be that... Qiao Sang reassured herself internally and then said seriously, "Because we've bonded, I know everything about you."
"Qingqing."
Qingqing Ni's face showed a look of understanding, and she called out again.
She couldn't use the Fairy Wind technique yet because she didn't have enough energy for even one cast. However, she could use Tailwind, and she could control its intensity, making it possible to use here.
With that, she opened her mouth.
Instantly, a tiny whirlwind swept through the room, causing the curtains to flutter slightly.
This is Tailwind? Advanced Skill Tailwind? Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment, then her consciousness entered the Beastmaster Codex. Sure enough, the data for Tailwind had changed from 443 to 444.
To be able to control an Advanced Skill to this degree, and still only be at the Proficient Level... or perhaps Qingqing Ni's race has an exceptional talent for controlling wind... Qiao Sang opened her eyes, feeling both surprised and delighted, and her consciousness returned to reality.
Regardless, it's a good thing that Qingbao can control Tailwind to this extent.
Then she thought of something, her eyes brightening, and she eagerly said, "Quick, show me Enchantment."
She paused, her eyes filled with anticipation, and added, "Just cast it on me."
Remember, Enchantment only affects by gender, not by race.
Honestly, she was quite curious to see if she would fall for it.
"Qingqing~"
Qingqing Ni nodded, then closed one eye and called out sweetly, sending a Bewitching Glance.
At the same time, a pink heart-shaped light appeared out of nowhere and shot toward her.
So cute... Qiao Sang felt her heart being hit.
However, this feeling seemed more like being simply charmed, just like when Qingbao first held her hand...
Qiao Sang calmed down a bit.
Logically, the target of Enchantment should have their mind temporarily clouded, unable to think clearly. Since she could still think, she must not have been affected by Enchantment...
So... Qiao Sang glanced at Fangy, who was meditating, and Treasure Seeker, who was casting the Misfortune Curse on an ant, and made up her mind.
"Cast Enchantment on Treasure Seeker again."
Fangy had already sent out a hundred clones to train when she first entered the room. If he were affected by Enchantment and lost control, those clones would likely disappear, and she'd have to create them again, which would be a hassle.
In comparison, Treasure Seeker was a better choice.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker heard his name, the purple light in his eyes fading, and he looked up with a confused expression.
"Qingqing~"
In the next moment, he met Qingqing Ni's Bewitching Glance.
The pink heart-shaped light quickly hit him and disappeared.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker's eyes instantly filled with hearts.
But then he shook his head, and the hearts vanished, his eyes clearing up again.
It seems Qingbao is female... Treasure Seeker, being a beginner, fell for it the first time because he wasn't prepared. However, on a battlefield where both sides are highly focused, it's almost impossible for a Beginner Beast's Proficient Skill to hit a Champion-level familiar... Qiao Sang thought for a moment and then said, "Treasure Seeker, spend some time practicing Enchantment with Qingbao. It will help increase your resistance to it."
Although Enchantment is just an Intermediate Skill, it's quite effective. In future matches, you might encounter higher-ranked Fairy Companions with high Enchantment proficiency. It's best to prepare for it early.
