Chapter 150: Chapter 145 Searching for the Ghost-absorbing Lantern
This task is both easy and well-paid, and if it were any other time, Qiao Sang might have taken it, but the moment she thought of Zheng Baolong’s words, she didn’t consider this task further.
Yaobao had trained Spark’s mastery to the pinnacle of its Mystique, and in terms of controlling the output of Fire Element energy, it was as skilled as a master chef controlling the heat for outdoor cooking, which naturally wouldn’t serve as any training at all.
Qiao Sang scrolled down several more entries.
[Task: Look for a Fire Attribute Beast with a good image and temperament. Beast Tamers who are eloquent are preferred. Pay by the day, details to be discussed in person.]
[Task Location: No. 91, Xinde Street, Fengwu City, Zhehai Province, Baosu Fire Series Training Gym]
Although the task didn’t specify what it was about, any Beast Tamer who knew the ropes understood.
...
This kind of task is similar to hiring fake roomers—each training gym, when newly opened, would hire some Beast Tamers to pretend to sign up, making real potential clients think they were a step behind and couldn’t get a spot anymore.
To put it plainly, the training gym was hiring extras.
It wouldn’t serve as any training, so she passed.
[Task: I’m severely insomniac and am looking for a Grass-type Pet Beast that can use Hypnosis Powder or a Spectral-type Pet that can perform hypnotism.]
Too simple, pass.
[Task: Hiring a Fire Attribute Beast with camouflage Skill for a three-day performance, only 3 hours required each day.]
Camouflage is all about manipulating the shape of the released flames without changing their power; it’s just a change in the shape of the flames, a Skill mostly learned by Pet Beast performance artists.
Yaobao can’t do it, pass.
Qiao Sang had been looking for a long time and couldn’t make a choice.
There were plenty of tasks, but not many met the criteria for acceptance and could provide training opportunities.
“Hello, do you have any requirements for the task you want to take?” the staff member asked enthusiastically.
Qiao Sang looked up and replied, “I’d like something with a certain level of difficulty that can provide good training.”
Hearing this, the staff member gave her a respectful look. Just look at her! Not only a genius but also so hardworking, she truly deserves to be so awesome.
“I think this task is very suitable for you,” the staff member said as they checked the computer screen, “Number 665, seeking the Ghost-absorbing Lantern.”
Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment and looked down to check.
Because the desktop screen was synced with the staff member’s computer, there was no need to scroll down further.
[Task Number: 665] freewebnøvel.coɱ
[Task: Find the Ghost-absorbing Lantern. Preferably for a Beast Tamer with a Spectral-type Pet, no specified date, details to be discussed in person.]
[Task Location: Unit 5, 702, Xiying Residential Area, Hangkang City, Zhehai Province]
[Task Payment: To be discussed]
She paused slightly as she read the information, not expecting others to hold her in such high regard…
Where would wild Ghost-absorbing Lanterns come from in town, and wouldn’t they all be caught by patrolling departments if they appeared… You’d at least have to go to a Secret Realm for that…
Qiao Sang looked up and said, “I think I’m still too inexperienced, and it might be unsafe for my level to go to a Secret Realm.”
The staff member explained with a smile, “No need to go to a Secret Realm; it’s not about finding a wild one. The task issuer’s contracted Ghost-absorbing Lantern has gone missing.”
So that was it.
Qiao Sang felt relieved.
It wasn’t unheard of for contracted Pet Beasts to go missing, and it mostly happened to newbie Beast Tamers.
It usually boiled down to the Beast Tamer’s level being too low, the sensing range too short, and the Pet Beast accidentally wandering too far away.
