"Since then, he hasn’t really been fond of our Emperor Class people."
This... Qiao Sang listened, bewildered, then hesitated and said:
"Is it still appropriate for me to have him craft my artifact?"
"Did he refuse you?" Mikaela looked over with a smile and said, "The more he’s denied, the more he wants to gain approval. Rest assured, he’ll make your artifact carefully and with sincerity."
Qiao Sang felt relieved and then remembered something, so he asked:
"I noticed Teacher Glofer was quite friendly towards me at first. Why does it seem like he doesn’t like me later on?"
"That’s because your artifact requests were too simple," Mikaela said. "Even a student from the Artifact College could meet your requests."
Pausing for a moment, she added, "But he does have high hopes for you, probably because he’s heard about your accomplishments."
She laughed and said, "I didn’t expect him to take on the crafting of your artifact this time. I thought he wouldn’t make artifacts for anyone from the Emperor Class anymore."
Hey, hey, hey, that’s not what you said earlier... Qiao Sang internally complained, then asked:
"Do people from the Emperor Class not use artifacts during their training? Is it appropriate for me to use artifacts?"
Mikaela laughed and said:
"You’re still far from the Interstellar Cup."
The implication being that it’s still too early for that.
Qiao Sang: "..."
...
The blue sky, like a fairy-tale-like back garden.
The familiar pavilion.
From afar, one could see a lady with half-white hair, fair skin, and noticeable wrinkles sitting inside.
"The dean is inside, go on." Mikaela said.
"Aren’t you coming?" Qiao Sang asked.
Mikaela said, "The dean wants to see you, not me."
After speaking, she disappeared into thin air.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Qiao Sang slowly exhaled, adjusted his posture, and walked towards the pavilion, respectfully saying:
"Hello, Dean."
"Sit," Dean Teresa said, gesturing with her eyes at the tea in front of her. "Try it. I prepared it especially for you."
"That depends on the species’ intelligence and natural bloodline abilities," Dean Teresa patiently explained:
"Some Pet Beasts can understand human conversation or sense the external world’s good and evil while in the egg. If they encounter something they dislike, they’ll instinctively reject the first person they see upon hatching. Meanwhile, some Pet Beasts know nothing and naturally take a liking to the first being they see when they break out of the egg."
Qiao Sang suddenly thought of the time when Little Treasure Hunter emerged from its egg.
"Xun Xun..."
Meanwhile, Little Treasure Hunter couldn’t help but appear, looking curiously at the Pet Beast Egg from behind a protective barrier.
Qiao Sang collected his thoughts and returned to the main topic:
"Dean, is there a reason you called me here?"
"I heard you haven’t exchanged for any items yet," Dean Teresa asked. "Are you not satisfied with the items in the points section?"
"No," Qiao Sang replied. "It’s just that the opportunity to exchange is too precious. I want something that suits me best. The items in the points section are great, but none are the most suitable for my current needs."
Dean Teresa asked:
"What kind of functions do you want in an item?"
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:
"Ideally, it would be an artifact that can detect the next stage of a Pet Beast, even if the pet is in a new form and no next evolution stage has appeared yet."
