Chapter 190: good luck

However, human joys and sorrows are not interconnected. Facing the worried girl, Qiao Sang’s immediate thought was: I wonder which clothing store the Illusory Water Baby works at? It’s almost time for a change of season, so I can buy a few autumn clothes…

Although the Illusory Water Baby cannot be considered a rare Pet, it is uncommon to see one working in a clothing store.

At least in her memory, she had never encountered one when buying clothes in a physical store.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to ask, the girl suddenly spoke, “Have you finished your summer homework?”

Qiao Sang shook her head, “I haven’t.”

The girl’s face lit up with joy, “Then I can help you do it!”

Qiao Sang was stunned for two seconds, then said, “I’m a fresh graduate, I don’t have summer homework.”

The girl: “…”

She had calculated everything, but she hadn’t calculated that the other party had no summer homework…

“Then, is there anything you don’t want to do but have to do? I can help you with anything,” the girl didn’t give up.

Offering kindness without reason usually means ill intent or theft. It seems she’s not just a social butterfly but came to her with a clear purpose… Qiao Sang asked, “Why do you want to help me?”

“I want you to help me get in touch with your classmate,” the girl said shyly, “I haven’t been able to reach him recently, and I can’t wait for him at the school gate.”

If Qiao Sang hadn’t known the full story, this single sentence would have definitely made her imagine a scene of a couple breaking up, with the boyfriend going missing.

“He usually lives at school,” Qiao Sang replied, “The last time he was outside of school was because he had something to do for a few days.”

“No wonder…” the girl murmured.

Hearing the other party ask about Shi Gaofeng, Qiao Sang knew that the girl hadn’t given up on changing the negative review, but she understood that it was definitely a lost cause.

Shi Gaofeng had been quite resentful about cleaning the toilets these past few days; she could feel his resentment from more than ten meters away.

“Can you help me talk to him? As long as you help me persuade him to change the negative review, for one semester, no matter when you don’t want to go to school, I can let Illusory Water Baby help you,” the girl looked at Qiao Sang, her eyes full of anticipation.

Qiao Sang’s expression remained unchanged.

Heh, is she that kind of person?

What is most important for a student?

It’s studying!

Why did she go through so much trouble to get into the best high school in the city?

It was to study hard!

She had never even thought about having the Illusory Water Baby attend classes for her.

As soon as she thought about it, she felt… uh, pretty good.

Finally, Qiao Sang said expressionlessly, “Deal.”

…

After adding contact information, the two became much more familiar.

Qiao Sang also learned that the other party was Xu Jia, a third-year student at Hanggang Sixth Beast Taming Middle School, who was currently working hard to save money to buy evolution materials for her Illusory Water Baby.

During their casual chat, Qiao Sang took the three freshly made milk teas from the server. The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost impatiently appeared, floating beside the milk teas and sniffing them with its nose.

Its appearance instantly caused the people around Qiao Sang to disappear.

“Xun!”

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost pointed at the milk tea with its short toes, looking up curiously at its Yu Beast Master.

“It’s delicious, try it,” Qiao Sang said, inserting a straw into one of the milk teas and handing it to the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

“Xun…”

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost hesitated for a moment, then took it and took a sip.

“Xun!”

Seeing the Treasure Hunting Ghost’s look of enjoyment, Xu Jia finally had the courage to return to Qiao Sang’s side.

“Awesome, Saint Water Middle School students are just different. In our school, there isn’t a single person who has contracted a Ghost-type Pet,” Xu Jia said admiringly.

“Ghost-type Pets are actually quite good,” Qiao Sang said, looking at the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, whose eyes were curved into crescents from drinking milk tea.

“So, are you here today because of the Green Scarlet Fruit?” Xu Jia suddenly asked.

Qiao Sang shook her head, “No, why would you ask that?”

The Green Scarlet Fruit is highly favored by Ghost-type Pets with the Ghost Fire skill and is quite valuable.

But this has nothing to do with the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

After all, even if it develops Ghost Fire later, it uses the ring as a medium, releasing energy absorbed from within. If the energy absorbed by the ring is gone, the Ghost Fire will naturally also disappear.

Because it doesn’t rely on its own energy to release Ghost Fire, the Green Scarlet Fruit holds no attraction for the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

“I thought you came after seeing the news,” Xu Jia explained, “A while ago, didn’t we have a secret realm rift here, right by the musical fountain outside the mall? Several Ghost-type Pets came out of it then.”

“A passerby happened to be passing by, and I don’t know if he specialized in pyramid schemes to brainwash Pets, but he exchanged a roasted sausage for a Green Scarlet Fruit with a Dreamless Doll that came out of it. The next day, he went to pick up a car.”

“After the news spread, this place became popular. Many people come here to check in, hoping to catch some good luck and encounter an easily fooled wild Pet, just like that passerby.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a long time upon hearing this. A Dreamless Doll? Could it be the one she encountered…

But then she thought, it’s not impossible.

That Dreamless Doll certainly didn’t seem very intelligent; otherwise, it wouldn’t have believed such nonsense about encountering a Mihei Ramu and making a wish by passing through a secret room…

But if that were truly the case, Qiao Sang’s heart would be unbalanced.

So, others encounter a Dreamless Doll and earn enough money to buy a car, while she encounters a Dreamless Doll and almost ends up in the hospital?

To make herself feel better, Qiao Sang came to a conclusion.

These two Dreamless Dolls absolutely cannot be the same one!

…

After saying goodbye to Xu Jia, Qiao Sang left the mall and went to the musical fountain in the plaza.

She hadn’t looked closely when she arrived, but now she noticed that seven out of ten stalls here were selling roasted sausages.

After a two-second struggle in her mind, Qiao Sang went to the nearest roasted sausage stall and said, “Boss, I’ll take four roasted sausages.”

“Alright, that’ll be 12 yuan in total,” the boss packed the four roasted sausages and handed them to Qiao Sang, enthusiastically saying, “You’re here to check in too, right? Just walk about ten meters forward, and you’ll be there. I was right here, you can’t miss it.”

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, “Thank you.”

Carrying three roasted sausages and two milk teas, Qiao Sang arrived at the spot the boss had mentioned.

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was beside her, holding milk tea in its left paw and a roasted sausage in its right, taking a bite of sausage and a sip of milk tea, its face full of joy.

Looking at the five Lili Ducks playing violins in front of her and the people watching and taking photos around, Qiao Sang suddenly felt a bit foolish.

The secret realm rift was gone, so how could she encounter a wild Pet with a screw loose? She really must have spent too much time with Ya Bao and caught its foolishness…

Just as Qiao Sang turned to leave, her peripheral vision suddenly caught something, and she froze on the spot.

A large head, short limbs, a purple diagonal hook-shaped tail, and a purple crown on its forehead—wasn’t it 100… a Ke Guan Meow?!

No…

Qiao Sang quickly calmed down. This Ke Guan Meow wasn’t wearing a sun hat, sunglasses, or a bag.

Moreover, there was a person accompanying it, and they seemed quite close.

It should be its Yu Beast Master.
