Chapter 207: You are so old!

After communicating with Water Luyana, Qiao Sang returned to her room, too excited to sleep.

Although she hadn’t formed a contract yet, this brought her 60% closer to it; at least Water Luyana was willing to accept her.

As the saying goes, acceptance is the beginning of change.

She would be in close contact with Water Luyana from now on. Thinking about the remaining 40% progress, Qiao Sang brought her laptop to bed and leaned against the headboard to research Water Luyana’s preferences.

An hour later.

“Ugh…” Qiao Sang pinched her brow, her collagen-rich face showing a hint of fatigue.

It wasn’t that she was tired from searching, but rather a bit frustrated; after searching for so long, she hadn’t found any useful information.

The internet had too much information. She initially thought she would find some useful tidbits, but it turned out she had overestimated netizens’ understanding of endangered Pets.

Forget about self-media creators publishing relevant articles; there weren’t even many posts discussing Water Luyana.

The latest discussion post was half a year ago, posted by a netizen whose ID was just numbers.

ChapterHow to find Water Luyana that has melted into the water# Chapter

There was only one reply below, and it was from the original poster himself.

[Begging for a master to reply, I will like this post as thanks]

He was so humble, yet no one paid him any attention.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment, opened the forum, and decided to post something herself.

To avoid the same situation as the numerical netizen a year ago, she gave her post an attractive title.

ChapterI saw Water Luyana with my own eyes, really, at 5:46:32 AM on August 28th this year# Chapter

There were many people with nocturnal habits, and the title successfully ignited netizens’ gossip enthusiasm.

[5:46:32 AM on August 28th, wasn’t that just a minute ago?]

[Water Luyana?! What does it look like?]

[Never heard of it, what kind of Pet is this?]

[Same question]

[Isn’t there ‘Water’ in its name? I’ll take a guess, it should be a Water-type Pet]

Good, it was getting some buzz.

To prevent the post from sinking, Qiao Sang started typing.

[It’s an almost extinct Water-type Pet from the Ancient Mist region, it looks absolutely stunning, you can go check it out]

Immediately, netizens started discussing below.

[Holy cow! It’s the great treasure of our Ancient Mist region!]

[The poster probably used up all their luck for this lifetime]

[Ahhhhhh! I looked it up! It’s exactly to my aesthetic!]

[Did you take a picture? Requesting photos!]

[With such an opportunity right in front of you, why didn’t the poster take it in?]

Qiao Sang took the opportunity to reply:

[I want to too, but my yu beast codex doesn’t have any extra contract pages. Does anyone know what Water Luyana likes? I feel like I might have a connection with Water Luyana, so I want to be prepared if I encounter it again next time.]

[The poster is probably dreaming]

[I seriously suspect the poster is tricking us]

[Indeed, if you really encountered it, even if there were no blank contract pages, wouldn’t you just imprison it?]

[Upstairs, your idea is very dangerous]

[You guys don’t know this, but Water Luyana has Melt Water, so even if you wanted to imprison it, you couldn’t.]

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up as she looked at the latest reply. She didn’t expect to find a netizen who understood Water Luyana so quickly!

She looked at the ID: Ren Wo Shui.

Many netizens were following the thread.

[Good heavens, Melt Water, doesn’t that mean it’s invincible in water battles?]

[Melt Water? What’s its function? Is it literal?]

Ren Wo Shui replied:

[Melt Water isn’t much, although it can melt into water, this species of Water Luyana likes cleanliness. If you’re sure it’s in the water, you don’t even need to look specifically; just pollute the water source, and it will definitely come out.]

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment. This was something she didn’t know. It seemed that this netizen named Ren Wo Shui knew a lot about Water Luyana.

Ren Wo Shui continued to post:

[I don’t know where the poster saw Water Luyana. Currently, there are fewer than a hundred Water Luyana still alive worldwide. Protecting endangered Pets is everyone’s responsibility. I hope the poster will inform me so I can do my part.]

[I can hear your abacus clicking all the way from Lianke Region.]

[I heard it in Yuhua Region too.]

[I heard it in my bathroom too.]

Qiao Sang quickly opened her browser to search for a street name in a city within the Ancient Mist region, then returned to the forum and typed:

[I won’t hide it from everyone. It was at the west main gate of the Wetland Park on Shuwu Street in Gongcheng, about 50 meters straight ahead along the street.]

[The poster is a straightforward person. Anyone want to go as a group?]

[That’s great, it’s only 3089 kilometers from me.]

[That’s great, 910 kilometers, I can get there in 13 hours and 46 minutes by riding a Round-Headed Eagle.]

[Am I the only one curious why the poster was there at 5 AM?]

Qiao Sang ignored other netizens’ comments and directly tagged Ren Wo Shui:

[You seem to know a lot about Water Luyana @Ren Wo Shui]

Ren Wo Shui: [I majored in Wild Pet Protection, focusing primarily on wild Pets that are at risk of extinction.]

Good heavens, she actually met someone who majored in such a niche field.

Qiao Sang quickly typed on her keyboard.

[Then do you know what Water Luyana likes, and in which direction it’s best to cultivate it?]

Without a contract, everything about Water Luyana could only be asked online to netizens. The allure of an endangered Pet to a Yu Beast Master was comparable to the North Pole attracting a compass needle; it was best not to casually gamble on it.

Even with a knowledgeable Vice Principal by her side in reality, Qiao Sang never thought of mentioning it to him.

After all, when she used to browse forums, there were countless posts about people in secret realms turning against each other over the ownership of a rare Pet.

The netizen named Ren Wo Shui posted continuously a minute later.

[Water Luyana likes clean water sources. The cultivation direction is unclear, but a very important reason why Water Luyana is almost extinct is that it’s very difficult for it to evolve. Its life level cannot be broken through, leading to this species usually having a short lifespan.]

[Under different personalities, Water Luyana evolves into different Ice Dew Qiya forms. If its personality is stubborn, naive, cheerful, irritable, mischievous, brave, or frank, it will evolve into a high-profile appearance. If its personality is lonely, slow, timid, docile, calm, introverted, cautious, or serious, it will evolve into a low-profile appearance.]

[Besides personality determining the form, there’s also a very important evolution condition: it must experience a deeply painful heartbreak on a rainy day. Only the emotional power generated within its heart when facing heartbreak can promote its evolution.]

[The Water Luyana species has high standards and rarely likes other Pets. When cultivating it, one must constantly observe its emotions and always have a Pet that can use the Rain Prayer skill nearby. Otherwise, if it finally experiences heartbreak on a day when it doesn’t rain, it’s basically impossible to wait for a second chance at heartbreak within its lifespan.]

Qiao Sang stared at the post for a long time, stunned.

She never expected such a bizarre evolution condition existed in this world; it truly broadened her horizons…

Suddenly, Qiao Sang remembered something and typed:

[What is Water Luyana’s lifespan?]

Ren Wo Shui: [Seven years]

Qiao Sang took a deep breath. No wonder Water Luyana became an endangered Pet, and even after being protected by the Alliance, its numbers remained so low. It was too difficult to meet such a bizarre evolution condition within such a short lifespan.

But the Alliance was also incredible; they managed to research even such an evolution condition…

…

She chatted online until the sun rose, and Tooth Treasure still hadn’t woken up.

Qiao Sang changed her clothes, tied her hair into a ponytail, and yawned sleepily as she walked into the courtyard.

“Water Luyana, are you awake?” Qiao Sang walked to the edge of the pond and called out.

“Lulu.” Water Luyana’s head surfaced from the pond.

Qiao Sang was startled. She had been so used to Water Luyana ignoring her lately that it coming out immediately when called was quite unsettling…

Looking at Water Luyana in the pond, Qiao Sang cleared her throat and said, “To help you train better in the future, I need to know how old you are first.”

“Lulu.”

Water Luyana didn’t suspect anything and stated its age.

Qiao Sang: “…”

The pain of not having a contract became apparent; she couldn’t understand!

Just as Qiao Sang was about to call Little Treasure Hunting Ghost to translate, Water Luyana seemed to realize she didn’t understand. It jumped out of the pond, then propped itself on the ground with its tail and sat down, extending its two front paws to show seven short toes.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

“What?! You’re already that old?!” Qiao Sang was greatly shocked.

She never expected Water Luyana to already be seven years old! Didn’t that mean it would kick the bucket if it didn’t evolve soon?!

“Lulu?”

Water Luyana looked confused.

Is seven months very old?
