Half an hour later.
Beast Taming Center, accommodation area.
Room 708.
"What is this Treasure Witch?" Mikaela stared at Treasure Witch, looking puzzled.
"Witch... Witch..."
Treasure Witch felt inexplicably pressured and silently moved behind the human entrusted by the doctor.
"It’s like this, after I joined the research institute..." Qiao Sang briefly recounted the conversation with Dr. Zhang Taedong and the situation regarding Treasure Witch.
Mikaela pondered for a moment and asked:
"Are you planning to go to Xi Han City next?"
Qiao Sang nodded and said:
"There’s still nine days until the delivery of the Nether Flower, and since I don’t have anything important to do in the meantime, I might as well go to Xi Han City for some training."
Considering the renowned reputation of the ten ghost cities, it indeed counted as training for ordinary Beast Tamers.
Mikaela asked:
"When?"
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:
"Tomorrow."
After pausing, she added: "Dr. Zhang Taedong also specifically found someone to take us there, who knows the exact location where Treasure Witch came out of the Secret Realm Rift."
For this reason, she also added that person’s contact information.
"Alright." Mikaela said:
"Let’s do it tomorrow morning, and I’ll go with you. You don’t have to worry about the tickets."
This level of proactiveness... Qiao Sang gave a heavy "Hmm."
Then she thought of something, looked around, and asked:
"Where’s Teacher Frauda?"
"He’s already gone." Mikaela answered, returning to the main topic: "So, the other evolutionary possibility for Spectral-type Pets discovered by Dr. Zhang Taedong is for them to absorb positive emotional energy from the things they care about most?"
He left so quickly... Qiao Sang felt a twinge of emotion and, upon hearing Teacher Mikaela’s latter sentence, nodded:
"That’s correct."
After pausing, she added:
"But only a small number of Spectral-type Pets can absorb this energy, and I’m not sure if Little Treasure Hunter can do it."
Mikaela’s gaze fell on Little Treasure Hunter: "To find out if it can, just try."
Qiao Sang turned her head and also looked at Little Treasure Hunter.
Little Treasure Hunter blinked.
"Is there something in your heart you really want to do but can’t?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter was stunned for a moment, then realizing what its Beast Tamer meant, set down the phone and began to focus on absorbing.
"Xun Xun..."
After half a minute, it honestly shook its head.
Gangbao suddenly gave Little Treasure Hunter a sympathetic look.
Qiao Sang spread her hands.
Steel Treasure displayed a "I knew it" expression.
"Xun Xun?"
Little Treasure Hunter blinked, puzzled.
"Give me back the phone card." Qiao Sang said slowly.
It was like getting struck by lightning on a sunny day!
Little Treasure Hunter stepped back in disbelief.
It hadn’t even started playing, and it had to return it?
"Hurry up." Qiao Sang urged.
"Xun Xun..." Little Treasure Hunter reluctantly took out the phone card and handed it over.
Qiao Sang took it, slipped it into her pocket, and turned to Teacher Mikaela:
"I think Little Treasure Hunter doesn’t need to rush to try and absorb this energy. Its species limit is Emperor Level, and the materials for the next stage of evolution are about to be gathered. If it were to successfully absorb this energy now, and then evolve into a completely different form because of it, it would lose the path to evolve to the Emperor Level."
