Chapter 75: Treasure Hunt Ghost

There are many passages within the Pet Base, and at the end of each passage, several routes always branch off.

It is incredibly complex, and without someone familiar with the terrain leading the way, it would be easy to get lost.

Qingyue Butterfly led the way.

It was clearly very familiar with the terrain inside, flying almost without hesitation towards one of the routes.

During this time, Qingyue Butterfly kept talking, but unfortunately, Qiao Sang couldn’t understand…

However, Fire Fang Dog chatted with it very happily.

From Fire Fang Dog’s words, Qiao Sang vaguely guessed what Qingyue Butterfly was saying.

It was nothing more than, “You also came from here?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Me too.”, and so on.

After turning three corners and passing through two areas, they finally reached Qingyue Butterfly’s intended destination—the Activity Hall.

The interior resembled a courtyard layout.

At a glance, besides Dragon-type Pet Beasts and Fairy-type Pets, Pets of all other attributes were present inside.

Among them, Ghost-type Pets were the fewest, with only a handful of them.

Next were Fire-type Pets, also a sparse single-digit number.

The entire Activity Hall, regardless of attribute and solely by species, certainly contained dozens, if not hundreds, of different species of Pets.

“Most of the Pets in our base are here. If you can’t decide which Pet to contract, you can get close to them first before making a decision,” a male Staff member not far from Qiao Sang said to three young people, “Most of the Pets that appear here are gentle in nature, so you can rest assured.”

Qiao Sang’s ears perked up, and she heard the conversation.

She thought that Yabao probably hadn’t appeared here before…

Indeed, the Fire Fang Dog in her arms was filled with excitement and curiosity.

If her Yu Beast Master hadn’t been holding it, it would have probably rushed in already.

“However, there are still some matters that require special attention. Do not take photos of that Blazefinch without its guard down, and also, the only Fire Fang Dog in the hall, it just broke up, and it’s not interested in anything. We brought it here to cheer it up, so as long as you don’t show affection in front of it, you’ll be fine,” the male Staff member continued.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

She looked around and indeed saw a Fire Fang Dog resting with its eyes closed under a scenic rock.

Could this be one of the ones who fought over the female Fire Fang Dog back then…

What about the other one…

Did it win the beauty?

Just as Qiao Sang was about to lean closer to listen carefully, Qingyue Butterfly flew to Qiao Sang’s front at the opportune moment.

It always remembered its Yu Beast Master’s words.

To treat customers well and not let them feel neglected.

Qingyue Butterfly enthusiastically introduced the place.

“Yueyue.”

“Yueyue, Yue, Yueyue.”

“Yue.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

The male Staff member’s words were already unclear, and Qiao Sang no longer lingered, walking into the Pet activity area with Fire Fang Dog in her arms.

Before she had taken two steps, a Pet, mostly green, blocked her way.

Qiao Sang recognized it; it was the Grass-type Pet, Yellow Bud Flower Seed.

Its prominent feature was a yellow, unopened flower bud on its head.

Whenever the flower on its head bloomed, it would be the day of its evolution.

It held a small yellow flower of the same color in its hand and offered it to her, looking shy.

Qiao Sang’s pupils dilated.

Holy cow! Why does this scene feel so familiar!

While Qiao Sang was bewildered, Qingyue Butterfly, true to its duty, proactively explained what Yellow Bud Flower Seed wanted to convey.

“Yue.”

“Yueyue, Yue.”

“Yue.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Yabao, translate,” Qiao Sang said.

Fire Fang Dog dutifully translated.

“Yaya.”

“Ya.”

“Ya.”

Qiao Sang felt relieved.

So it just wanted to be her Pet; she thought…

After understanding Yellow Bud Flower Seed’s meaning, Qiao Sang felt a pang of heartache.

What a wonderful Pet.

Good-looking, good taste, and good attribute.

Unfortunately, she had no money…

The Bai Xin Competition coupons were for Pet eggs and could not be exchanged for already hatched Pets.

Even if her endorsement fee arrived, it would be useless; the Yellow Bud Flower’s price was around 500,000.

She couldn’t possibly go bankrupt and use all her prize money and endorsement fees on it.

“I’m sorry,” Qiao Sang squatted down and refused with a heavy heart.

“Bao~” Yellow Bud Flower Seed smiled and shook its head, looking unconcerned.

Qiao Sang felt even more heartbroken at the sight.

What a great personality…

Should she call Song Yuan and ask her to pay the endorsement fee in advance…

After all, Yellow Bud Flower Seed met her expectations in every way.

It would definitely be best if contracting a Pet was a mutual choice.

But money…

Just as Qiao Sang was struggling internally, unable to make a decision, Yellow Bud Flower Seed turned and walked to another young person who had just entered.

“Bao~”

The same small yellow flower, the same shyness.

Qiao Sang: “…”

In the end, she had been mistaken.

Most of the Pets here were gentle and not afraid of strangers, and after several interactions, Qiao Sang’s mood became increasingly pleasant.

Just as she was about to go see a small Fire Owl not far away, the Fire Fang Dog beside her suddenly stopped, its body tense, looking up at a tree.

Qiao Sang followed its gaze.

A yellow and gray Pet hung upside down on a branch; it had no wings or legs, but its bottom was firmly attached to the branch.

Its head was surrounded by a yellow ring, both of its eye pupils were yellow, and its irises were tiny gray dots.

As if sensing the intense gaze, it looked over.

It curved its mouth, narrowed its eyes, and revealed a mischievous expression.

Qiao Sang quickly picked up Fire Fang Dog and turned in another direction.

Oh my god!

Why is there a Treasure Hunting Ghost here!

Treasure Hunting Ghost is not only an eerie Ghost-type Pet but also a troublesome existence among Ghost-type Pets.

It likes to hunt for treasure, but what it seeks is not what humans consider gold and silver treasures, but things it finds novel and likes.

As long as something interests it, it will find a way to acquire it.

The yellow ring on its head is not just decorative but specifically for holding things.

That ring is like another dimension; once it puts something into the ring, unless it takes it out itself, the things inside will never come out.

It sounds very useful, and some people with ulterior motives would even try to specifically contract a Treasure Hunting Ghost.

However, there is a very troublesome aspect to Treasure Hunting Ghost: it likes to store things that interest it.

If the contracted Treasure Hunting Ghost likes normal things, it’s fine, but if it likes abnormal things, it could really bring a lifetime of infamy.

Once, a man was reported by his next-door neighbor for stealing items.

When the police arrived, the man did not resist to prove his innocence and allowed them to search.

When they found out the man had a Treasure Hunting Ghost, the police asked him to summon it.

The man, believing that the innocent would be proven innocent, did not think much of it and let the Treasure Hunting Ghost take out everything from its ring.

As a result, the Treasure Hunting Ghost took out several pieces of women’s underwear from the ring.

This led to the man explaining for a long time, and even after he was later proven innocent, he could never hold his head high in that neighborhood again.

Qiao Sang quickly turned around and left, fearing that she had something on her that the Treasure Hunting Ghost would be interested in.

But before she had taken two steps, the Treasure Hunting Ghost floated in front of her.

Qiao Sang slammed on the brakes, stopping abruptly.

Close call, almost face-to-face…

The Treasure Hunting Ghost, with a mischievous smile, took off the ring from its head and pulled out a gray egg with a yellow ring from inside.
