Chapter 731: Chapter 657: Happy Cooperation (Second extra update for Alliance Master Yancore!)
Three minutes passed before a response came through:
["I’m already on my way, it’ll take about ten more minutes. I’ll contact you once I arrive."]
Qiao Sang gave an "ok" hand sign and put the phone down.
...
Meanwhile.
Beast Taming Center.
Third floor detection hall.
Fauler looked at his phone, deep in thought without saying a word.
"What’s wrong?" McCarthy asked upon seeing this.
Fauler put down his phone and inquired, "If the person with the ghostly magma is really the child who performed Spatial Movement on the Lava Beast last night, do you think you could beat her?"
"What are you talking about? She’s just a child, how could I possibly..." McCarthy’s words trailed off abruptly as he remembered the terrifying Pet Beast that had burst out of the volcano the previous night.
"Is she really just a child?" Fauler continued to ask.
McCarthy chuckled dismissively, "What else could she be? She looks underage."
"But her Pet Beast isn’t something an underage should have," Fauler mused.
McCarthy paused for a moment, "You mean..."
"There are some Pet Beast Skills that can change a person’s appearance," Fauler said gravely. "The one we saw might not be her true appearance."
At this, McCarthy’s composure faltered, turning grave.
Indeed, he remembered a piece of news from a year ago about a man who fell in love at first sight with a girl during his travels, pursued her desperately, and finally, on the last day of their trip, won her over. They started a relationship.
However, it was always a long-distance relationship, during which the man transferred at least a million in funds, but then was abruptly dumped without having seen her face again.
Unable to bear it, he went to the police, claiming fraud, though his real intent was just to see the girl one more time.
The police investigation revealed that the girl was actually a 48-year-old man, cursed by a Spectral-type Pet to temporarily take on the appearance of his daughter.
The 42-year-old man had chosen to travel because he was too ashamed to let acquaintances see his altered appearance.
Upon learning the truth, the deceived man was initially enraged but then chose to forgive after finding out that the appearance was that of the offender’s daughter.
The older man was touched and introduced his own daughter to him.
The two married six months later, becoming quite the sensational story.
Fauler continued on his own accord:
"It’s too dangerous to work or trade with someone whose true appearance you don’t even know. It’s better to avoid face-to-face contact as much as possible."
McCarthy nodded, agreeing fully.
"I need to use the restroom," Fauler said as he stood up and left.
He went down to the lobby, handing a square-shaped box to the service center attendant:
"Please hold onto this for a moment, and if someone comes asking for it and hands you something similar, give this to her."
"Certainly, sir," the attendant took the box and nodded.
Fauler turned and walked about ten meters away to the wall before speaking into thin air:
"When she arrives, keep a close watch, and if you don’t feel anything from the item she brings out, immediately take the Shadow Dynasty Pearl and leave."
"Xun Xun," a voice answered from the air.
Fauler glanced towards the service center’s direction, then picked up his phone. After waiting a few minutes on purpose, he finally sent a message:
["Do you have half a pound of the ghostly magma?"]
...
Qiao Sang looked at the new message and sent a reply:
["Yes"]
Fauler responded quickly: ["The item you asked for is now at the service center in the lobby on the first floor. Hand over the ghostly magma to one of the staff members there and say someone just left a box; they’ll give you what you want in return."]
What’s going on, why a non-face-to-face transaction again... Qiao Sang pondered for a moment before typing to ask:
["How can I make sure the SS-rank Shadow Dynasty Pearl you have is the real thing?"]
The other party replied instantly:
[You know my appearance and can certainly find me, and an S-rank Yin Chao bead has a fatal attraction for spectral-type pet beasts. You can let your spectral-type pet sense it, and if you still don’t trust it, you can have an appraiser verify it before you use it.]
This guy doesn’t seem to fear giving away fake ghastly plasma... does he trust me that much... No, when transacting something this important, how could one be at ease without seeing it personally... Qiao Sang remembered some TV dramas she had watched and couldn’t help but start theorizing.
However, she immediately thought of Yaobao’s current combat power and Xiao Xunbao’s spatial movement and felt no fear.
If the enemy comes with soldiers, she’ll block with generals; if they come with water, she’ll cover with earth.
As one’s own strength grows, so does their confidence.
Qiao Sang didn’t reply anymore; she went to the service center on the first floor as instructed by the other party.
She handed over the bottle that already contained half a jin of ghastly plasma and asked:
"Did someone leave a box here just now?"
"Yes," the staff member nodded and then handed over a square box: "It was left by a gentleman."
Qiao Sang took the box, handed the bottle containing the ghastly plasma to the other party, and thanked them.
"Xun Xun~"
At that moment, the invisible Xiao Xunbao called out.
Qiao Sang looked calmly towards the direction of the bottle.
She then turned and headed to the women’s restroom.
Five minutes later, Qiao Sang came out of the restroom, left the Beast Taming Center, casually hailed a taxi, opened the door, and sat in:
"Driver, to the airport."
Outside the Beast Taming Center, Fauler was holding the bottle with ghastly plasma, his gaze following the direction of the departing taxi.
...
In the taxi.
Xiao Xunbao became visible again.
In the Middle Districts, various pet beasts suddenly appearing was a common sight; the taxi driver was very calm, not even swerving the steering wheel.
"Put this away," Qiao Sang handed the box to Xiao Xunbao.
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao took off the ring and put the box inside it.
Qiao Sang took out her phone, found the chat interface for the "S-rank Yin Chao bead," and typed a few characters:
[A pleasure doing business.]
[A pleasure doing business.]the other party replied.
Qiao Sang put away her phone, her mood lifted as she enjoyed the view outside.
The S-rank Yin Chao bead was genuine; she had made a point of looking it up online before. Besides having a special attraction for spectral-type pet beasts, an S-rank Yin Chao bead contains purple crystals visible to the naked eye with a diameter of at least 1 cm and under the influence of spectral-type energy, thin, silk-like purple filaments appear.
The Yin Chao beads in the box indeed met all the requirements.
...
The next afternoon at two o’clock, Qiao Sang arrived at the First District on a flying ship.
As soon as she disembarked, she formed hand seals and summoned both Lubao and Gangbao.
Qiao Sang slung the backpack holding Lubao over her shoulder and navigated using the location she had researched beforehand.
Almost an hour later, she arrived at a real estate agency.
A black lady in professional attire hurriedly approached: "May I help you with something?"
"I’d like to rent a house," Qiao Sang said.
On Chao Su Star, only the residents of Chao Su may purchase houses, unless the Beast Tamer is an A-rank talent, then they can be exceptionally allowed to buy property. She had looked into this.
The agent asked: "Do you have any specific requirements for the house?"
She didn’t plan to ask about a budget.
Given the bird-like pet beast beside her, which was unlike any she’d ever seen, she had no doubt about the young girl’s wealth.
