Mikaela glanced over, raised an eyebrow, then withdrew her gaze.
Did you really have to deliver the King Power Potion like this... Qiao Sang stared at the claw that suddenly popped out of the ground, the corner of her mouth twitching hard.
"Xun Xun?"
Before she could reach out, Little Treasure Spirit had already recognized the King Power Potion and let out an excited cry.
Is that for us?
"Yeah." Qiao Sang spoke as she reached out to take it, then handed it to Little Treasure Spirit, saying:
"Put the potion away."
Little Treasure Spirit happily took the potion and stored it in its ring.
The black claw shrank back into the ground, as if it had never appeared.
Not long after, her phone vibrated.
Qiao Sang picked it up and saw that it was that unfamiliar number from before calling again.
She hit accept and put it to her ear.
"Qingqing."
The voice of a Pet Beast came through.
The King Power Potion has already been delivered. Donât forget our deal.
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then asked:
"Was that Pet Beast that just delivered the King Power Potion you?"
"Qingqing."
The Pet Beast on the other end cried out.
Of course it was me.
"Why did you only show a claw? You donât want to meet me?" Qiao Sang asked again.
The Pet Beast on the other end hurriedly cried out as soon as it heard that:
"Qingqing!"
"Qing..."
I definitely was not avoiding meeting you because I think youâre brutal and Iâm not mentally prepared yet!
I, I just..."
It stammered and didnât say the rest. One look and you could tell it hadnât figured out how to spin the story next.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Nice, looks like what Teacher Mikaela guessed before actually turned out to be true...
Given that the other party had delivered a King Power Potion to her, Qiao Sang couldnât help explaining:
"GangbaoâSteel Chief Kaneâits Sky Wing Blade wasnât learned through training, it awakened it on its own through evolution."
Meaning there was no wing-pulling training involved.
"Qingqing."
The Pet Beast on the other end sighed in relief when she didnât continue the previous topic, then let out an emotional cry: what a terrifyingly good talent.
Is that what you were trying to say? Qiao Sang resisted the urge to take a deep breath and asked:
"When the Interstellar Cup comes around later, how am I supposed to contact youâthis number?"
"Qingqing."
The Pet Beast on the other end couldnât wait to cry out.
Yeah yeah.
"Whatâs your name?"
"Qingqing."
Species: Emotion Hook Soul, name: Hooking Hand.
Emotion Hook Soul, General-level Spectral-type Pet, can stir up some of the hidden emotions in people through language, making them, under the influence of that stirred emotion, uncontrollably say things they originally didnât want to say.
Qiao Sang went quiet for a moment, then confirmed:
"Hooking Hand?"
"Qingqing."
Hooking Hand cried out, indicating that was indeed its name.
"Okay, Iâll save you under that name." Qiao Sang said.
Then she chatted idly with Hooking Hand for a bit and hung up.
The match in the arena was already in full swing, but Qiao Sangâs thoughts had drifted far away.
Stir up some of the hidden emotions in people through language... Speaking of which, Lubao needs Emotional Energy to evolve. No matter how you think about it, having it personally experience an extreme sense of loneliness seems pretty much impossible, but if she used a Pet Beastâs ability to infinitely magnify its loneliness, pushing it to an extreme, it might actually work.
She remembered Dr. Dorarisha from Yuliandun once saying they could try having a Gis Egg magnify Lubaoâs emotions to the strongest degree.
But Gis Eggs are a family-monopoly Pet Beast, and theyâre Pet Beasts from Blue Star. She herself has a clear goal nextâto obtain a Sun Crystal.
Since she wants a Sun Crystal, chances are high sheâll have to stay and participate in the Master Challenge Cup, and the precondition for that is becoming an A-level Beast Tamer.
Thatâll probably take quite a bit of time. Lubao now has more than enough materials it can use to absorb Energy; thereâs a good chance itâll finish absorbing the Energy for the King Level stage while sheâs still on Flame Sky Star. By then, the only thing missing will be Emotional Energy.
With her talentâbecoming a B-level Beast Tamer at seventeenâplus Teacher Mikaelaâs status, if she went in person to borrow a Gis Egg, sheâd probably get one.
The problem is, sheâs currently on Flame Sky Star, and Bai Ni Country isnât her country. If she doesnât show up in person, itâs a question whether the other side will even believe her. Even if they do, they probably wonât be willing to let a Gis Egg help across interstellar space. Even if they donât say no outright, the timeline will get dragged out.
The best way is still to directly find, on Flame Sky Star, a Pet Beast whose function is similar to a Gis Egg...
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang turned to look at Teacher Mikaela and asked:
"On Flame Sky Star, is there any Pet Beast that can amplify a targetâs emotions to the maximum?"
