Chapter 1043: Request for leave

Chapter 1038: The Green Mechanical Claw

“What? That mechanical claw is actually an Emperor-level Pet?” Qiao Sang was shocked, but also felt it was reasonable.

After all, that Pet could transport express deliveries across star systems, which a normal-level Pet definitely couldn’t do.

But isn’t it too extravagant to use an Emperor-level Pet to deliver express mail? Yesterday, several books were delivered to her. Is this the prestige of the Imperial Beast Academy… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and asked:

“How many Guilun Seers does our school have?”

“Only two,” Fulaoda said. “Mechanical-type Pets often consume more resources to become Emperor-level than Pets of other attributes, and to completely control it, its contracted Yu Beast Master must personally oversee and upgrade every step. So, even if there are upgrade parameters and data for each stage, if the person who contracts it doesn’t have the corresponding mechanical knowledge and manufacturing capabilities, it won’t be able to upgrade to a very high level.”

Goodness, it seems there’s no hope of contracting a mechanical-type Pet in this lifetime… After listening, Qiao Sang immediately felt hopeless about contracting a mechanical-type Pet.

She composed herself and asked:

“Are there many people in the Mechanical Academy who contract Guilun Seers?”

Fulaoda replied, “Not many. Guilun Seer is a Pet researched and manufactured by the Vice Dean of the Mechanical Academy, and only students under his name can manufacture and upgrade Guilun Seer.”

Saying that, he waved to Xiao Xunbao, “Come, let’s do the examination.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao floated over.

After the previous few examinations, it was already familiar with this teacher.

Seeing that they were getting down to business, Qiao Sang didn’t interrupt further.

After about half an hour, Fulaoda finished the examination and said, “Ghost Ring King’s energy fluctuations are still very unstable. The main reason is that there is a lot of energy in its body that cannot be absorbed all at once. I happen to have some energy-dissipating potions that can accelerate energy absorption. Let it take one bottle every day, and then you can increase its training time daily to make it consume more energy.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao listened attentively, not sighing as usual when it heard about more training.

“I understand,” Qiao Sang nodded.

Fulaoda added, “I will be here every day at 1 PM recently. You can have Ghost Ring King come here for a check-up every day.”

“Okay,” Qiao Sang said.

…

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Coming out of the Nurturing Institute, Xiao Xunbao gulped down a bottle of energy-dissipating potion, then its features wrinkled together, showing an expression of “how bad it tastes.”

Just then, two classmates passed by and were visibly stunned when they saw Xiao Xunbao’s expression.

Seeing someone looking at it, Xiao Xunbao quickly managed its expression.

The two classmates silently averted their gaze, and after they had walked far away, whispers came:

“Isn’t that the wanted Ghost Ring King?”

“Impossible, this is the Imperial Beast Academy. How could a wanted Pet dare to come here? And from the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like a wild Pet. The girl next to it seems to be its Yu Beast Master.”

“Do you think it’s possible that its Yu Beast Master had a grudge against Olsen Velasquez, which is why Ghost Ring King stripped his clothes? And its Yu Beast Master is from our Imperial Beast Academy, which is why it hasn’t been found after being wanted for so long.”

“That makes sense. Do you think we should call the police…?”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Xiao Xunbao was in low spirits, and the paw holding the potion bottle tightened involuntarily.

“Qingqing?”

Qingbao appeared, kindly calling out, indicating whether it wanted to use the Sense-Nullifying Powder.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao showed a resistant expression.

It didn’t do anything wrong, it wouldn’t use Sense-Nullifying Powder!

“Don’t take their words to heart,” Qiao Sang comforted. “Once we catch that ‘Ghost Ring King,’ you won’t be mistaken anymore.”

“Ya!”

Ya cried out, indicating it was right.

“Ice Emperor.” Lubao popped out of the backpack and, unusually, echoed the sentiment.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao looked moved and nodded vigorously.

Using Sense-Nullifying Powder and catching the “Ghost Ring King” are not in conflict, what a stubborn mind… Qingbao sighed and shook its head, then Wind Transformation disappeared and floated towards the two classmates who had been talking earlier.

…

Bo Sai Manor, Room 101.

Bedroom.

Qiao Sang sat at her desk and logged into the Imperial Beast Academy’s official website. First, she searched for the general market rates for requesting the News Academy to search for information and the Mechanical Academy for help, and then she posted tasks:

[Hope classmates from the News Academy can help find the wanted Pet, Ghost Ring King, or a wild Change Clothes Totem. Accurate information will be rewarded with 10 points.]

[Looking for classmates with Guilun Seer to help find the wanted Pet, Ghost Ring King, or a wild Change Clothes Totem. 15 points per day can be paid.]

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao watched the screen from the side, showing an expression of “will this work?”

“Leave professional matters to professionals. If people from the News Academy and Mechanical Academy help, the probability of us finding it is definitely much higher,” Qiao Sang said.

As soon as she finished speaking, a message popped up in the后台.

Qiao Sang clicked it open:

[Pa****: I have information on that Ghost Ring King. Should I pay immediately?]

The Imperial Beast Academy’s official website is different from Royal Union Dun; you can choose to be anonymous when posting or replying to messages here.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao pointed at the screen and cried out excitedly.

Qiao Sang’s spirits lifted:

“See, isn’t the message here?”

As she spoke, she quickly replied: [Of course.]

[Pa**** has accepted your task.]

[Pa****: (Image)]

Qiao Sang clicked on the image.

A figure with a backpack appeared in the photo, and the Pet next to it had golden-yellow hair and grey-black skin, its features wrinkled together, and it was holding a potion bottle in its paw.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

“Qingqing! Qingqing!”

Qingbao saw the photo, appeared, floated onto the bed, and rolled around laughing.

The person’s message continued to arrive:

[Pa****: You don’t even know, this Ghost Ring King is right here in our Imperial Beast Academy.]

[Pa****: Let me tell you another piece of information, it’s not a wild Pet, the girl in the photo is its Yu Beast Master.]

[Pa****: I guess she’s from the Nurturing Institute. I saw her personally bringing Ghost Ring King out of the Nurturing Institute.]

[Pa****: The information is 100% reliable, you can pay the points now.]

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then took out her phone and opened the camera function, pointing it at Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao understood, bared its teeth, and made a fierce expression, mimicking Ya.

With a “click,” the photo was taken.

Qiao Sang sent the photo over.

[It’s not the wanted Ghost Ring King. The person you saw today is me.]

There was no further movement from the other end of the chat box.

Sure enough, even at the Imperial Beast Academy, it’s impossible to find that Ghost Ring King, which may or may not be a Change Clothes Totem in disguise, so quickly… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

Suddenly, a slight ripple appeared on the computer screen.

Immediately after, a green mechanical claw extended from the screen, opening upwards to reveal a note.
