Chapter 683: Chapter 615: You Can Read Now?

"I got it," Qiao Sang nodded.

Sylvia smiled, "Then I’ll just..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Qiao Sang cut her off:

"Let me hit the restroom first, I’ll be right back."

Having said that, she turned around, preparing to open the car door.

Sylvia was momentarily stunned before saying, "There’s a restroom right here in the car, you can just use this one."

Qiao Sang turned her head and declined with a serious face:

"No thanks, I need to do a number two, afraid it might stink."

Sylvia: "..."

"Then, I’ll have Xun Xun guide you," Sylvia said.

"No need!" Qiao Sang refused again: "I saw the restroom location on my way here; I still remember where it is."

And with that, she opened the car door and left, afraid Sylvia might say something else.

Sylvia’s expression faded as she watched the young girl walk away.

At such a young age, how could she possibly have a Pet Beast with Mystique Level hypnotism? The Pet Beast in her arms was wearing a mini Shrinking Bracelet—probably just a rich kid taking a family elder’s Pet Beast out for a spin to pick up a task for fun.

She probably picked up my task just because it’s located at the Teo Film and Television Base and wanted to see the stars.

Qiao Sang had no clue that the task giver had imagined all this.

Following her memory, she arrived at the restroom.

But she didn’t go in, instead opting to stay in a secluded area not far from the restroom where not many people passed.

"Xiao Xunbao," Qiao Sang turned her head to look into the air.

"Xun Xun~," Xiao Xunbao appeared in sight as its Beast Tamer looked on.

"Do you think you can hypnotize out the subconscious?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Xun Xun..." Xiao Xunbao honestly shook its head.

It wasn’t confident; it had never tried...

I guessed as much... Qiao Sang sighed silently to herself and immediately began searching online for methods to hypnotize out the subconscious, ready to cram at the last minute.

When a Pet Beast’s skill level is highly proficient, experimenting with it often leads to the development of a variety of applications.

Qiao Sang had previously focused all her time on competitions and college entrance exams, without any energy to consider the various uses of her skills.

Had it not been for this task, she probably wouldn’t have thought to let Xiao Xunbao practice hypnotizing out the subconscious.

Despite not having practiced with Xiao Xunbao, Qiao Sang wasn’t entirely clueless about tapping into the subconscious.

Long ago, on one of the tasks she took, the target Ghost-absorbing Lantern was hypnotized by Xiao Xunbao.

The task giver had mentioned that dreams are the activity of the subconscious, and when in a dream state, conscious activity stops and the subconscious becomes active.

As she remembered, the page loaded with relevant information.

"To hypnotize out a target’s subconscious, first, the skill proficiency has to be high—Grand Achievement Level will do. If the proficiency is too low, the hypnotism can be easily detected by the target. If the target’s spiritual power is sufficiently high, the dream fabricated by the hypnotism will be full of holes, like a paper mache, easy to break through with a push of spiritual power."

"It’s not guaranteed to succeed even if the hypnotism skill reaches Grand Achievement Level. If the energy during the hypnotism isn’t precisely controlled, one can inadvertently infuse their own subconscious into the target’s dream."

"Moreover, if the target’s spiritual power is too weak, they might become immersed in the dream to the extent that even upon waking, they can’t distinguish reality from the dream world, so mastering this balance is crucial."

"Xun Xun..." Xiao Xunbao floated over, gazing earnestly at the phone screen as if it could understand what it read.

It feels so difficult... Qiao Sang sighed internally, turned off her phone, and decided not to waste more time perusing.

Feeling challenged mainly due to the lack of time, especially since the task giver was still waiting for her.

Theory is nothing compared to practice. Qiao Sang reached into her pocket and pulled out two duty stones for today’s shift.

Having read the data on Bingke earlier, she recalled it was a low-level Pet Beast, similar in grade to the stones, suggesting their spiritual powers likely wouldn’t be too different.

"Produce?"

As the two stones were taken out, expecting to get to work, but seeing no chili peppers around, they looked at Qiao Sang with a puzzled expression.

"I need your help with something," Qiao Sang said:

"Try out Xiao Xunbao’s hypnotism and let me know how the dreams feel when you wake up. I’ll treat you to an extra meal tonight."

The targets under hypnosis wouldn’t experience the same flow of time in reality as they did in the dream realm; half a minute was entirely sufficient. If they didn’t wake up after half a minute, Xiao Xunbao could also use its tongue-licking skill to help them.

"Chan Chan."

Both Chan Chan Stones looked at each other and then nodded simultaneously.

Everything is negotiable with the promise of an extra meal.

Qiao Sang turned to Xiao Xunbao, about to ask it to try casting the hypnotism on the Chan Chan Stones that could tap into the target’s subconscious.

"Bingke."

Just then, Lubao couldn’t stand it any longer and poked its head out from the backpack, calling out expressionlessly, as if to question whether it was really necessary to practice here.

Though this place was outside the restroom, it was still not exceptionally far from it, so the smells from inside could still affect the air here.

Qiao Sang had been immersed in thoughts about how to practice hypnotism that targeted the subconscious and hadn’t paid much attention to this detail.

Now that Lubao brought it up, she indeed noticed that the air here wasn’t very fresh.

Without a word, Qiao Sang picked up Yaobao and left the place.

Seeing this, Lubao contentedly retracted its head back into the backpack.

Qiao Sang went to a spot dozens of meters away and nodded to Xiao Xunbao:

"You can start now."

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes emitted a purple glow as it looked at the two Chan Chan Stones.

"Chan Chan..."

The two Chan Chan Stones voluntarily fixed their gaze on Xiao Xunbao and then closed their eyes uncontrollably.

A hypnotism of low proficiency could only put one target to sleep, but once the hypnotism reached Completion, as long as targets with low spiritual power looked into the eyes that were casting hypnotism, they would be put under.

Xiao Xunbao was well aware of this, as it had previously put ants to sleep en masse.

"Xun Xun..."

Xiao Xunbao focused on maintaining its grip on the energy.

It remembered that it was very important to master that particular nuance...

Qiao Sang kept track of the time.

After half a minute, the Chan Chan Stones did not wake up.

Qiao Sang glanced at Xiao Xunbao, and before she could say anything, Xiao Xunbao understood her Beast Tamer’s intent and went up to lick the two Chan Chan Stones each.

"Chan Chan..."

"Chan Chan..."

The two Chan Chan Stones slowly woke up.

Qiao Sang asked eagerly:

"How did it feel in the dream?"

"Chan Chan."

"Chan Chan."

The two Chan Chan Stones recalled the scenes from their dreams and called out, indicating that it felt very real, just like Xiao Xunbao was showing them a melodrama as usual. They had no idea that they were dreaming.

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao smugly called out.

Of course, it had managed to grasp just the right nuance for casting hypnotism.

Not realizing they were dreaming was normal; Xiao Xunbao was a High Level Pet Beast, and its proficiency in hypnotism had reached the Mystique level. How could two basic Chan Chan Stones possibly realize that... But it seemed Xiao Xunbao did a decent job at mastering the nuance; the Chan Chan Stones could tell the difference between dream and reality after waking up. The problem was that Xiao Xunbao couldn’t see the content of their dreams on its own, making it hard to judge, wait a minute... Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and turned to Xiao Xunbao excitedly:

"You can read?"

She remembered she hadn’t mentioned anything about mastering nuances to Xiao Xunbao after looking at her phone!

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao first looked puzzled and then embarrassedly scratched its head, admitting that it could read a little.
