Chapter 417: Chapter 396: The People of the Ancient Mist Region Are Friendly... (Third Update)

Deep Sea Mantis Hotel.

Breakfast time, Qiao Sang was just about to go out to the revolving restaurant on the top floor to eat when she heard a knock on the door.

"It’s me," a somewhat familiar voice came from outside the door.

Qiao Sang walked over to open the door, and standing outside was a man with dyed blond hair and handsome looks.

It was none other than Professor Jiang who had brought them here in the middle of the night.

"Professor Jiang, what brings you here?" Qiao Sang asked.

Jiang Xiu’s gaze stealthily swept inside, then paused for a moment on a pet beast he had only dreamed of seeing. Then he withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened and said as if nothing was amiss:

"The pet beasts’ breakfast is best eaten before nine, I’ve made some special energy pills and thought to bring them over to you."

As he spoke, he handed over three boxed sets he was holding.

Despite appearing calm on the surface, Jiang Xiu’s inner drama was already exploding:

"Holy crap! Holy crap! It’s a Binglu Qia! Ahhh! It looked at me just now! No no no, I must stay calm! Binglu Qia as a species doesn’t like people or pet beasts that are too enthusiastic when they first meet, I must stay cool!"

Making a special trip to the room... Qiao Sang took the boxes, touched, and said, "Thank you, Professor Jiang."

"You’re welcome," Jiang Xiu replied with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he didn’t leave but just stood there smiling at Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang, understanding his intent, asked, "Would you like to come in and sit for a bit?"

"Yes!" Jiang Xiu’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly stepped inside.

The boxes containing the three sets of energy pills each had the names of the respective pet beasts attached, and Qiao Sang placed them in front of Yaobao and the others accordingly.

Yaobao and the others took a bite, their eyes curving in pleasure, clearly to their liking.

Taking advantage of the moment Lubao was engrossed in eating the energy pills, Jiang Xiu watched it with burning eyes, his expression slightly tense.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Sang felt it was as expected.

She asked, "Lubao, how does it taste?"

"Lubao."

Lubao, busy eating, lifted its face and called out coolly, indicating it was quite alright.

Then it went back to eating the energy pills.

As an A-level Breeder, even though he had some understanding of pet beasts’ behaviors and sounds, Jiang Xiu couldn’t help but ask:

"What did Binglu Qia just say?"

Qiao Sang translated, "It says it tastes really good."

Lubao paused upon hearing this, then continued eating the energy pills without objection.

Jiang Xiu’s expression turned ecstatic, wishing he could go back and make another hundred right now.

Then, his phone rang.

Qiao Sang picked it up and glanced at it.

The caller was Xu Yixuan.

"What’s up?" Qiao Sang answered.

From the speaker, Xu Yixuan’s voice came: "Have you had breakfast? Shall we eat together? I heard they have energy pills for various types of pet beasts here for breakfast."

Qiao Sang replied, "I haven’t had breakfast yet. I’ll be up in a bit, but Professor Jiang has already delivered the pet beasts’ nutritional meals."

"Ah?" Xu Yixuan immediately said, "Professor Jiang even delivered to the room? Then I’ll wait and go upstairs for breakfast later, so I don’t miss him if he comes back."

"Okay," Qiao Sang hung up the phone and turned her head to look at Professor Jiang.

All he had were empty hands; he didn’t bring any other boxes.

Shit, I was so excited when I came that I only thought about Binglu Qia and left the energy pills for the others at home... With his enhanced hearing from symbiotic feedback, Jiang Xiu hears everything clearly from the other end of the phone, he stood up honestly and said:

"I should go now. I forgot to bring the energy pills for the others; I’ll go back and get them now."

Qiao Sang: "... Okay."

...

Late at 10:30 PM, Qiao Sang leaned back on her bed with her phone, watching an interview video from the Ancient Mist Region.

In the scene, a female reporter dressed in a skirt was conducting random street interviews:

"Hello, do you know about the National School Beastmaster League?"

The passerby interviewed was an elderly grandfather with white hair who proudly stated, "Of course, my grandson participated in the National School Beastmaster League."

The reporter’s eyes lit up, and she immediately became interested, "Could you tell me your grandson’s name?"

"Liu Hengzhi," the grandfather replied.

The reporter continued, "What grade is your grandson in?"

"Senior year of high school."

"Will you be going to the venue to support him?"

"No."

"Why?" The reporter was a bit confused.

"Because my grandson has already been eliminated."

The reporter was stunned for a moment and was about to offer consolation when the grandfather immediately looked at the camera and seriously said, "I will go to the site, but I’ll be supporting a contestant from the Yuhua Region named Qiao Sang! Even if my grandson hadn’t been eliminated, I would still support her!"

Five seconds later, the reporter stopped a schoolgirl for an interview:

"Do you know about the National School Beastmaster League?"

"Yes."

"Do you have a contestant you support?"

The schoolgirl grabbed the microphone and brought it close to her mouth, loudly saying to the camera, "Go Qiao Sang! Go Binglu Qia! I’ll support you both!"

"Okay, thank you for the interview," the reporter quickly took the microphone back.

Next, she interviewed a man dressed in a suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looked like an educated male passerby:

"Do you know about the National School Beastmaster League?"

"I know, I support the contestant Qiao Sang." After that, the passerby walked away briskly.

As Qiao Sang watched the interview video with enthusiasm, a message popped up:

[Xu Yixuan: Have you seen the video I just sent you?]

Qiao Sang replied:

[Just saw half of it]

[Xu Yixuan: I’ll just tell you! The passersby interviewed in the Ancient Mist Region are all supporting you!]

Qiao Sang seriously responded:

[Is that so? I haven’t watched it all. I’ll continue to watch.]

After sending the message, Qiao Sang continued to watch the interview video with joyful spirits.

The people in the Ancient Mist Region were friendlier than she had imagined...

...

The next day.

At 9:24 a.m.

On the waterway, Qiao Sang, sitting on a Sea Salt Lizard, asked, "Professor Jiang, are you sure you’re free today?"

Jiang Xiu laughed, "Taking good care of you guys is my biggest task during this period. Don’t hesitate to ask me for anything; we people from the Ancient Mist Region are like that, hospitable. If you decide to come to our region in the future, you’ll be treated as if you’re in your own home."

"We also have a lot of places to hang out here. You can have fun on land as well as underwater; however you like."

Jiang Xiu had been praising the Ancient Mist Region for a while when suddenly he remembered something and asked:

"By the way, what are you going to the Beast Taming Center for?"

Qiao Sang responded, "To issue a mission."

"What mission?" Jiang Xiu turned to look at Qiao Sang, "Maybe I can help you, and you wouldn’t need to make the trip to the Beast Taming Center."

Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment, "It’s about Lubao."

Jiang Xiu immediately perked up, "Tell me more!"

Qiao Sang summarized the situation and added, "That’s how it is, so I want to issue a mission to see if there’s a Skill that could help Lubao with memory manifestation."
