Chapter 618: Hypnosis high difficulty version (third update)

“Please wait a moment, let me check,” the Staff said, looking into it.

A moment later, she looked up and said, “There’s nothing wrong with the task; it’s just that no one has accepted it.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Why?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.

The Staff smiled and said, “Dream Projection isn’t very practical in everyday use, and it’s a high-level skill, so perhaps there are fewer Pets that can use it. Please be patient; someone will eventually accept it.”

I’ve already been patiently waiting for half a month… Qiao Sang sighed and said, “Then, can you search for Yu Beast Masters whose Pets have the Dream Projection skill and are offering it as a task reward? I can accept their tasks.”

Who would offer Dream Projection as a reward… the Staff thought to herself, a standard professional smile on her face.

“Please wait.”

With that, she lowered her head and began to check.

After about half a minute, her gaze stopped, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she looked up and said, “There is one. I’ve already synchronized it to the screen outside. Please take a look.”

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and she lowered her head to look.

Task: Find a Pet whose Hypnosis has reached at least the Profound Level.

Task Location: Teo Film Base

Task Reward: Can specify a target to perform Hypnosis plus Dream Projection (a necessary accompanying skill for a set of secret techniques).

Task Level: Two-Star

So the task reward can be annotated like this… The person they’re looking for already has a Pet with Profound Level Hypnosis, so adding Hypnosis to the reward seems a bit redundant… Qiao Sang inwardly complained but then pressed confirm in the bottom right corner.

No matter what, as long as the reward contained what she wanted, it was fine.

…

An hour later.

Teo Film Base.

Qiao Sang dialed the task publisher’s number.

Soon, the call connected.

A lazy female voice came through the speaker:

“Hello?”

“Hello, I’m the one who accepted your task. I just contacted you, and I’ve already arrived at Teo Film Base.”

After accepting the task, Qiao Sang had called the task publisher to confirm that her current location was indeed here.

“A Swift Butterfly will come to find you soon. If you see a Swift Butterfly, tell it, ‘Sylvia is the Best Actress,’ and it will lead you here,” the woman said.

… Qiao Sang replied, “Okay.”

What does a Swift Butterfly look like again… After hanging up, Qiao Sang immediately searched for information on the Swift Butterfly.

Soon, a butterfly-type Pet with a light purple body and swollen, bubble-like eyes appeared on the phone screen.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao looked at the picture on the phone, then pointed in a direction to the left front, “Isn’t that guy it?!”

Qiao Sang looked in the direction Ya Bao pointed.

She saw a Pet that looked exactly like the one in the picture, looking around.

It arrived so quickly? Qiao Sang was startled for a moment, then walked over.

Upon approaching, Qiao Sang spoke according to what the task publisher had said, “Sylvia is the Best Actress.”

The Swift Butterfly showed a bewildered expression, then flew back a meter, creating distance.

Qiao Sang: “???”

Ya Bao: “???”

Did I remember the secret code wrong? No, that’s impossible… Qiao Sang was about to say the same thing again.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

At this moment, another Swift Butterfly flew by and called out.

Qiao Sang turned her head, looking at the newly arrived Swift Butterfly with a look of sudden realization.

So there’s more than one Swift Butterfly here; it seems I just recognized the wrong one…

Qiao Sang coughed, then said to the newly arrived Swift Butterfly, “Sylvia is the Best Actress.”

The newly arrived Swift Butterfly showed the same bewildered expression as the previous Swift Butterfly, and then the two Swift Butterflies left together.

Qiao Sang: “…”

After all that, neither of them was it…

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao sighed.

After staying in place for about five minutes, another Swift Butterfly finally appeared in sight.

This time, Qiao Sang was smarter and didn’t go over immediately.

She observed this Swift Butterfly and noticed that its gaze always lingered on people entering and exiting the base.

This must be the one… Qiao Sang walked forward and said seriously, “Sylvia is the Best Actress.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

The Swift Butterfly’s eyes lit up, and it then spun around, indicating that it was indeed the one.

Although Qiao Sang didn’t know what the Swift Butterfly was saying, seeing that it didn’t show the same expression as the previous two Swift Butterflies when they heard the secret code, she knew she had successfully made contact.

Led by the Swift Butterfly, Qiao Sang arrived at a black RV.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

The Swift Butterfly flew to the car window and called out, and the car door immediately opened.

“Come in,” a woman’s voice came from inside the car.

Qiao Sang stepped into the RV, closing the car door behind her.

Inside the car, there was only one woman with blonde hair, exquisite makeup, wearing a black dress, and smoking a cigarette.

The Swift Butterfly flew to the woman’s side.

The woman raised an eyebrow when she saw Qiao Sang, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, then she twisted her cigarette butt into the ashtray on the table to extinguish it.

The person who accepted the task is actually such a young child… Sylvia scrutinized the young girl in front of her, who was carrying a school bag and holding a small Pet, clearly not yet an adult. Her gaze lingered on the unfamiliar Pet for two seconds before she asked, “Are you the Yu Beast Master who accepted my task?”

Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation.

“You can go,” Sylvia said indifferently, “You’re too young.”

What, is there age discrimination… Qiao Sang complained inwardly, but on the surface, she calmly said, “I remember your task only stated that you needed a Pet whose Hypnosis reached the Profound Level; it didn’t set an age limit.”

“I forgot,” Sylvia said calmly.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then said, “My Pet’s Hypnosis has reached the Profound Meaning. If you need a Pet with high Hypnosis proficiency, I am undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.”

Sylvia was stunned for a moment, falling into thought.

After more than ten seconds, she asked, “Can your Pet hypnotize out a person’s subconscious thoughts?”

Uh, Xiao Xunbao’s Hypnosis has only been used in competitions against opponents and during daily training against ants. Basically, it’s fine as long as they’re hypnotized to sleep. As for subconscious thoughts, I have no idea if it can do that… However, this task publisher is looking for a Pet with Profound Level Hypnosis, which means a Pet with Profound Level Hypnosis can hypnotize out a person’s subconscious thoughts… Since that’s the case, there’s no reason why Xiao Xunbao, whose Hypnosis has reached the Profound Meaning, can’t do it… Qiao Sang thought of this, gritted her teeth, and said, “Yes!”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

The invisible Xiao Xunbao heard the conversation and scratched its head.

Hypnotizing out subconscious thoughts, can it really do that…

It hasn’t tried it yet…

Sylvia’s expression softened slightly upon hearing this, and she said, “I want you to help me hypnotize a Pet.”

Huh? What? A Pet? Not a person? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, not reacting immediately.

“The task is very simple. I’ll call a Swift Butterfly up later, and you help me deeply hypnotize it. Just make sure the content of its dream is its subconscious thoughts; you don’t need to worry about anything else. I’ll give you a five-star rating,” Sylvia said.
