Chapter 898: The Sixth Mission
Chapter 898: The Sixth Mission (Combined)
"Is this okay?" Qiao Sang hesitated.
"Why wouldn't it be?" Examiners said with his face that always looked impartial: "The essence of completing a mission is to solve problems. If the person who posted the mission feels it's resolved, then it's resolved."
It does make sense... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Examiners continued earnestly, "Time is running out. You still have six missions left, so you need to hurry."
With that, he handed back the Beastmaster Emblem and ID card.
Qiao Sang took them and nodded. "I understand."
With that, she turned to leave.
At that moment, Examiners called out, "Wait!"
Qiao Sang turned back, her eyes asking what was wrong.
Examiners cleared his throat. "You haven't answered my previous question. Does Qingqing Ni sleep? What time does she usually go to bed?"
Qiao Sang: "..."
...
Qiao Sang carried Fangy out of the Beastmaster Center, immediately noticing the crowd gathered at the entrance.
People were standing in pairs, chatting.
The moment she appeared, she felt everyone's gaze converge on her, and the chatter briefly died down.
They can't all be here for me, can they... Qiao Sang's heart skipped a beat, but she kept her expression calm.
"Yah!"
Fangy jumped out of Qiao Sang's arms, her body gradually growing larger.
Her powerful aura made those who intended to approach her stop in their tracks.
Qiao Sang mounted Fangy.
Seeing this, the people around them climbed onto their own Flying Beasts.
Qiao Sang glanced at their actions and said, "Treasure Seeker."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker understood what her Beastmaster meant and appeared, its eyes glowing blue.
The next second, Qiao Sang and Fangy vanished from the spot.
The crowd at the Beastmaster Center entrance first froze, then started pounding their chests in frustration.
"How can she have a familiar that can Spatial Shift!"
"Damn! We finally waited for her!"
"Neither of her familiars are from Hollow Plains. Is she even from our region?"
"You should have asked her directly just now!"
"Why didn't you go up and ask her yourself!"
The two speakers glared at each other, understanding the reason, and huffed, turning away.
...
High in the sky.
Qiao Sang took out her mobile phone and opened the trending page. One post immediately caught her attention.
"Qingqing Ni's Beastmaster appeared at the Tian Gao Beastmaster Center."
In the comments, two-thirds of the people were showing off their plane tickets, subway tickets, and Sky Passage tickets for their upcoming trips to Skyhigh City.
A small portion questioned if there had been a mistake in identification.
Another part posted photos taken at the Jiantian Beastmaster Center, zooming in on Fangy.
People might misidentify a person, but a rare familiar is unmistakable, especially when it's from a region they've never seen before.
Sure enough, they recognized me through Fangy... Qiao Sang glanced at Fangy, who was running through the sky, and sighed.
Steel Treasure, though always by her side, was in a form rarely seen in Hollow Plains. It had a natural tendency to be low-key; as long as it was in its smaller form, it was hard to notice immediately. However, once someone's gaze fell on it, they would immediately notice its uniqueness.
Fangy, on the other hand, even in its smaller form, caught people's attention quickly.
Well, as Teacher Mikara said, having strength makes everything easier. Otherwise, I couldn't keep Fangy in its smaller form and wrapped in my clothes all the time... Qiao Sang calmed herself and called Teacher Mikara.
After two beeps, the call connected.
"Hello?" Teacher Mikara's voice came through the amplifier.
"Teacher, I'm on my way to complete a mission. The mission is..." Qiao Sang briefly explained her mission and then said, "I should be able to complete it today."
Mikala was silent for a few seconds. "I understand. I'll start packing early and wait for you to return."
"Thanks." Qiao Sang hung up the phone.
...
Beastmaster Center.
Top-floor restaurant.
From here, one could overlook the entire sky below.
At a table by the window, Mikala put down her mobile phone and looked at the computer screen:
"Respected Dean Theresa Dwight, Qiao Sang has bonded with her fifth familiar, Qingqing Ni, the Initial Form of the legendary familiar Wind Deity Cloud from the Dragon Nation's Hollow Region..."
She raised her hand and continued typing where she left off:
【Although I find it hard to believe, she indeed bonded a legendary familiar. Her future is even more unpredictable than I had anticipated. I hope to increase the credits I requested last time by an additional 100,000...】
Before Migala could finish typing, her mobile phone rang again.
She glanced at the caller ID, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly picked it up.
"Dean Theresa."
"Have you heard about Qiao Sang? Is it true?" Dean Theresa’s voice came through.
"Are you referring to the legendary familiar she bonded?" Migala asked.
There was a brief silence on the other end before a "Yes" sounded.
It seems Flauda must have told the others at the Imperial Beastmaster Academy... Migala said earnestly:
"It’s true. I was just about to report it to you."
There was another pause before Dean Theresa Dwight’s serious voice spoke again, "I understand. You must ensure Qiao Sang’s safety. I saw the application you sent last time, but I won’t approve the credits. Instead, let Qiao Sang choose any item from the Imperial Class’s exclusive Points Exchange. I’ll approve it."
Choose any item? Migala was taken aback but then delightedly replied, "I’ll convey your instructions to Qiao Sang!"
Then she thought of something and hesitated, "But won’t the other students in the Imperial Class have objections?"
Any resources in the Imperial Class are not given freely. To earn credits, one must achieve the corresponding accomplishments or exchange them with other resources.
Qiao Sang, as the fastest Beastmaster to break through to 50% of the Brain Domain, is indeed remarkable. However, rewarding her with any item from the credits list would be quite excessive.
Some items in the credits list are worth over a million credits, and there are even a few that have been in the list since the Imperial Class was established, yet no one has ever been able to redeem them.
"Have Qiao Sang bring Qingqing Ni for a full body check when she returns to the Imperial Beastmaster Academy. She has provided data on the legendary familiar to the school. If anyone is dissatisfied, let them bring back a legendary familiar as well." Dean Theresa said with authority.
Migala felt reassured, "Understood."
...
High above.
Flower Rain Five.
Taihua Hotel.
Qiao Sang dismounted from Fangy.
She didn’t immediately go inside but looked forward and asked the Air:
"Qingbao, did you hear everything I just said?"
"Qingqing."
A gentle breeze blew, and Qingbao’s childish voice echoed through the air.
"I heard it. Wait for me to enchant the hotel owner."
"Let’s use this as a backup plan", Qiao Sang said. "I’ll try to find the Fat Spikemew first. If I can’t, you can come out."
She paused and added, "When the time comes, you don’t need to use Enchantment. Just talk to the hotel owner."
Given Qingqing Ni’s status in the Hollow Plains, she believed that if Qingbao appeared and communicated with the hotel owner, not only would the Fat Spikemew not be a problem, but even if its Beastmaster came to steal food, it wouldn’t be an issue.
"Qingqing?"
Qingbao’s puzzled voice sounded.
Is this really going to work?
"Believe in your own charm", Qiao Sang said seriously.
"Qingqing~"
Another gentle breeze blew, and Qingbao called out, indicating she understood.
Qiao Sang picked up the now smaller Fangy and walked into the hotel, heading straight to the front desk and getting straight to the point:
"I’m a Beastmaster who has taken on an Evaluation Task to deal with the Fat Spikemew issue. I called ahead."
The receptionist, a young woman, smiled and said:
"Sure, please wait a moment."
She picked up the phone and called someone, reporting the situation.
Half a minute later, the receptionist hung up and smiled professionally, "Our manager will be down shortly. You can wait in the lounge area."
Qiao Sang, holding Fangy, walked to the lounge and sat down on a sofa.
The receptionist glanced in her direction, then moved to a colleague nearby and whispered excitedly:
"Did you see that? That familiar, isn’t it Qingqing Ni’s familiar?"
"It’s definitely her! No doubt about it!" the colleague whispered back, equally excited.
"Then that girl must be Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster!"
"Absolutely!"
"Ah! Qingqing Ni! I’m so close to Qingqing Ni!"
Their conversation was clearly audible to Qiao Sang.
She glanced at the front desk.
The receptionist, who had been in charge of greeting her, was looking in her direction. Noticing Qiao Sang’s gaze, she quickly composed herself and smiled professionally again.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Apart from the two receptionists, many other staff members recognized Fangy as the familiar from the internet.
One of the staff members prepared the tea, and Prepare took the opportunity to approach and strike up a conversation.
However, just as she was about to bring the tea over, she saw Manager quickly walking towards them.
The staff member had no choice but to put the tea down and leave in frustration.
"Hello, you must be the Beastmaster who accepted the mission", said Manager, a young man who looked to be in his early thirties.
While speaking, his gaze couldn't help but linger on Fangy.
"It's me", Qiao Sang replied, standing up.
"Please wait a moment. Have a seat, and I'll have our Chairwoman come over", the young man said, pulling out his mobile phone and quickly leaving.
Qiao Sang was caught off guard, not expecting them to call the boss so soon.
Usually, for such a large hotel, only the Manager would handle matters unless it was something particularly significant.
She had assumed that she would need to communicate further before they called the boss, especially if they were to implement Plan B.
But before Plan A had even begun, they had already summoned the boss.
Qiao Sang sat down again and took a sip of the tea in front of her.
After about five minutes, a woman over 1.7 meters tall, exuding a strong presence, walked over with quick, confident steps.
The Manager was by her side.
"This is our hotel's Chairwoman", the Manager explained.
"My surname is Bai", the woman said, glancing at Fangy.
"Chairwoman Bai."
"Let's go to my office to talk", she suggested.
"Sure", Qiao Sang agreed without refusing.
The three of them took the elevator to the top floor. Before entering the room, the Manager stepped back and closed the door.
"I want to know the last location where the Fat Spikemew was seen recently", Qiao Sang said.
Chairwoman Bai didn't answer immediately. Instead, she looked at Qiao Sang and asked, "You are the Beastmaster who bonded with Qingqing Ni, aren't you?"
As expected, she recognized me through Fangy... Qiao Sang didn't respond, saying, "I'm here for the mission."
Chairwoman Bai fell silent for a couple of seconds before speaking seriously, "If you let me see Qingqing Ni with my own eyes, I can immediately confirm the mission as completed."
Qiao Sang was speechless.
Chairwoman Bai added, "I can also give you a Five-Star Review."
This is an Evaluation Task, not a paid mission from the Beastmaster Hall... Qiao Sang inwardly grumbled but said, "That doesn't seem appropriate."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. I issued the mission, and if I say you've completed it, then you have", Chairwoman Bai stated firmly.
Alright, everyone is doing this to force me to choose Plan B... Qiao Sang said, "Qingbao."
"Qingqing~"
With a gentle breeze, Qingbao appeared.
Chairwoman Bai, seeing the familiar materialize out of thin air, stiffened.
Then, she became so excited that she began to tremble.
Qiao Sang cleared her throat and asked, "What should we do if the Fat Spikemew appears again?"
Chairwoman Bai seemed not to hear the question, her eyes fixed on Qingbao. Her voice softened as she asked cautiously, "Can I touch you?"
"Qingqing~"
Qingbao sweetly replied but shook her head.
No, you haven't answered my question.
"Did she say no?" Chairwoman Bai asked, her tone slightly anxious.
"You haven't answered my question", Qiao Sang said.
Qingbao floated over to her Beastmaster.
This action finally made Chairwoman Bai focus on Qiao Sang. She took a deep breath to calm herself and said, "I'm sorry, please repeat your question. I didn't quite hear you."
"I asked what we should do if the Fat Spikemew appears again", Qiao Sang repeated.
"Whatever you say, we'll do", Chairwoman Bai replied without hesitation.
Qiao Sang was speechless again.
...
Ten minutes later.
Qiao Sang declined Chairwoman Bai's offer to see her off, left the office, and took the elevator down.
When the elevator reached the 16th floor, the doors opened, and a guest stepped in.
Qiao Sang, with her keen eyesight, noticed a thin, mostly purple cat familiar with numerous spikes moving stealthily along the wall outside the elevator.
It seemed to sense her gaze and turned to look at her.
Then, it showed a startled expression, its fur bristling, and it bolted away.
The Fat Spikemew...
Qiao Sang recognized the familiar.
She had researched the Fat Spikemew before coming. A typical Fat Spikemew is usually plump, even chubby, but the one she just saw was extremely thin.
Judging by its behavior, it was clearly the Fat Spikemew from the mission.
The elevator doors closed.
Qiao Sang didn't choose to chase after it.
Her mission was already completed.
Without the Beastmaster around, the familiar sneaking out to eat reminded her of the first mission, where the Bubble Ghost had stolen into the warehouse to devour the residual energy in the Artifacts. (End of Chapter)
