Chapter 784: Soul travels around the world

Ita Valley is one of the valleys on this island and is not entirely open to the public.

Normally, it only receives talents above B-rank or successful individuals with assets exceeding one billion.

If neither of these conditions is met, then only guests accompanied by a member can enter.

Pilit told Qiao Sang all of this on their way there.

“Your situation is an exception,” Pilit continued as he walked. “Your arrival information should have been registered, and the Staff must have memorized your appearance in advance. You don’t need to say anything later; someone will lead you in.”

The threshold is so high… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and casually asked, “Have you been here before?”

Pilit hummed and said, “Once.”

Then he realized that spending one day there directly cost him two months’ salary, so he never came back.

“Is it fun inside?” Qiao Sang asked.

“So-so,” Pilit said.

No matter how fun it was, as long as it came with a hefty price tag, it wasn’t fun anymore.

Qiao Sang was about to ask something else.

At this moment, Pilit stopped, looking at the curved glass building in front of them, and said,

“We’ve arrived. This is the Ita Valley Service Center.”

After speaking, he was the first to step into the glass building.

Qiao Sang quickly followed. As she passed through the main entrance and entered the lobby, she suddenly felt a subtle sense of being watched, descending from the unseen.

“Ya!”

Xiao Xunbao in her arms also seemed to sense this, immediately showing a vigilant expression and looking up.

“What’s wrong?” Pilit stopped and turned his head to ask.

Qiao Sang frowned and said,

“It seems like someone is spying on me.”

That’s right, it was spying, not peeking.

As a Yu Beast Master who had already gained some fame, Qiao Sang had experienced many peeking gazes, but none of them felt quite like this.

Is a brain region of over thirty percent this sensitive…? Pilit was slightly surprised and chuckled, saying,

“Don’t mind it. That’s a recognition skill of a Mechanical-type Pet. On Super Dormant Star, strict entry and exit venues usually have Mechanical-type Pets with this skill.”

“These venues will input the requirements for entrants into the Mechanical-type Pet’s recognition skill program in advance. Those who don’t meet the requirements will be asked to leave.”

“Ya.”

Xiao Xunbao understood, relaxed, and withdrew its gaze.

There’s even a skill like this… Qiao Sang asked curiously,

“What about people who have never been here before? Without any information, how does it know if the person entering meets the requirements?”

“Never having been here means not meeting the requirements,” Pilit said. “It means Staff will come over very soon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a Staff member in a sharp uniform, looking around 27 years old, walked over quickly and said respectfully,

“Miss Qiao Sang, the energy pool has been prepared for you. Please follow me.”

Qiao Sang silently glanced at Pilit.

Pilit coughed and added,

“What I meant was, the Staff will come over to register and check those who don’t meet the requirements but are visiting for the first time. If they meet them, there’s no problem. Your information should have been registered in advance.”

“Mr. Pilit is right.” The Staff member accurately stated Pilit’s name.

Apparently, when they just entered the main gate, the Mechanical-type Pet had already identified the relevant information.

The Staff member introduced Ita Valley while leading the way:

“We have all kinds of Pet-related facilities here. When your Pet is bathing in the energy pool later, you can visit and experience them all.”

What? Experience them all? How much would that cost? Pilit immediately wanted to refuse for Qiao Sang: “Experience…”

The Staff member continued at this moment:

“Because of that honorary ring, all projects you experience here today are free.”

Qiao Sang looked at Pilit: “Teacher, what were you just going to say?”

Pilit paused: “Experience is good. You should really experience many of the projects here.”

The Staff member expertly led them through the glass building, past a dense forest where various Pets rested, and arrived at a place with a distinct translucent Barrier.

Outside the Barrier was a virtual screen, and beside it lay a lion-like Pet with its eyes closed, wearing a miniature shrinking bracelet, with mostly golden fur, and two curved horns on its head.

Suddenly, a mechanical voice, very similar in tone to Xiao Xunbao’s, rang out:

“Let me see… Gemal Lion, a Superpower System King-level Pet. It loves to sleep and remains undisturbed even if bothered. However, don’t assume it’s harmless just because it’s asleep. You should know that skills used by the Gemal Lion in its dreams will also appear in reality… Ah! This is a dangerous opponent… No! I advise you not to treat it as an opponent!”

Qiao Sang and the two others looked in the same direction simultaneously.

“Xiao Xunbao ~”

Xiao Xunbao grinned, put away its Pet Identifier, and re-hid its form.

The Gemal Lion remained with its eyes closed, as if undisturbed.

So it’s called Gemal Lion… Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze, looked at the golden-furred figure, and thought, ‘I’ve learned something.’

Actually, as long as Xiao Xunbao didn’t randomly use the Pet Identifier in the wild, she quite liked it when Xiao Xunbao occasionally took out the Pet Identifier to identify Pets.

After all, this way, she could also gain some knowledge.

The Staff member, adhering to his professionalism, did not express curiosity about Xiao Xunbao, who had suddenly appeared and then disappeared.

He came to the virtual screen and operated it.

“Gema…”

When his finger clicked for the last time, the Gemal Lion opened its eyes.

It scanned forward with its gaze.

Then, the translucent Barrier began to slowly open.

“Miss Qiao Sang, only the Pet you have chosen is allowed to enter here alone.” After the Staff member finished speaking, he stood respectfully to the side, waiting.

Qiao Sang formed a hand seal and summoned Ice Aipalu.

Unlike usual, Ice Aipalu was wearing an invariable stone around its neck at this time.

“Go,” Qiao Sang said gently to Ice Aipalu.

“Ya!” Xiao Xunbao called out, cheering it on to absorb more.

It had no feelings about its Yu Beast Master giving this spot to Ice Aipalu.

Compared to purely absorbing energy, it preferred to improve its energy through combat.

“Ice Ai.”

Qiao Sang had mentioned going to the energy pool to absorb energy in advance, and Ice Aipalu understood that it had been chosen among its companions to absorb energy.

It looked deeply at its Yu Beast Master, showing a serious expression, then turned and walked inside.

The moment Ice Aipalu stepped inside the Barrier, the translucent Barrier, which had opened, slowly closed.

The Gemal Lion closed its eyes again.

Ice Aipalu’s figure grew smaller and smaller, quickly disappearing completely from sight.

“Ice Aipalu will need about two hours to absorb energy,” the Staff member said. “During this time, I will first take you to visit our most popular entertainment projects here at Ita Valley.”

…

At the same time.

Inside the Barrier.

A bay of emerald green pool water shimmered slightly, sparkling, as if filled with the magical power of life.

“Ice Ai…” With just one glance, Ice Aipalu was drawn to the pool water in front of it.

Even without entering it, it could feel the fatally attractive energy fluctuations within.

Ice Aipalu’s expression was resolute as it slowly walked into it.

“Ice Ai…”

When its body was fully immersed in the pool water, Ice Aipalu couldn’t help but show a comfortable expression.

However, it quickly remembered its purpose for being here and began to circulate energy.

The surrounding pool water immediately swirled around Ice Aipalu as its center.

“Ice Ai…”

Ice Aipalu clearly felt the increase in its internal energy.

It was briefly excited but quickly calmed down, continuing to absorb energy diligently.

As time passed little by little, the greenness of the pool water gradually faded.

…

On the other side.

“Soul Travel the World, this is our most popular entertainment project here,” the Staff member said, pointing to a series of devices that looked like gaming pods:

“These devices are all connected to the brain of Qiannian Tika. As long as you enter, you can randomly wake up in the body of any living creature anywhere in the world.”

“It could be an ordinary animal, or a Pet, or a human.”

“However, the target being possessed must meet two requirements: first, the other party must be in a sleeping state, and second, the other party’s brain region or mental power must be lower than your brain region and mental power.”

“There is one particularly important note: if the other party wakes up from sleep, your consciousness will return to your own body, ending your soul travel prematurely. So remember, if you want to experience it for a longer time, do not let the body you are possessing get injured.”

Qiao Sang was stunned after listening: “Won’t the owner of the body discover anything unusual?”

The Staff member smiled: “They will only attribute these anomalies to Ghost-type Pet or sleepwalking.”

Pilit, listening, felt nothing inside.

It was this entertainment project that had cost him nearly two months’ salary in one go.
