Chapter 788: I have already bought the ticket

Without a specific item to search for, and relying on just a piece of news from the 30th District, does she really expect to see an Illusion Beast?

Qiao Sang instantly gave up on the idea of going to the 30th District.

Although she knew it was already incredibly difficult to confirm an Illusion Beast’s presence in a certain area, she currently had too many other things to do. Even if she was incredibly lucky and saw an Illusion Beast, at most she would just snap a photo, post it on her Moments, brag about it when talking to others, and have a memory for when she was old.

Thinking about it that way, it wasn’t bad, but the problem was that this was only if she could actually see an Illusion Beast.

Realistically speaking, with only the information about the 30th District, her chances of seeing an Illusion Beast were less than 1%.

Qiao Sang thought rationally, opened a search engine, and typed in the four characters “Aodinihi.”

This Pet hadn’t appeared in any of the rare Pet books she had read, which made her a little curious.

Soon, information about “Aodinihi” appeared on the screen.

【Aodinihi, an Illusion Beast, possesses powerful precognitive abilities. The flute it carries can play heavenly melodies. It is said that the flute music it plays can allow Pets to foresee the specific location of their next evolution.】

【There are rumors that a Yu Beast Master’s Pet had already evolved to the upper limit of its species, but upon hearing Aodinihi’s flute music, it still foresaw a location. So, that Yu Beast Master found the corresponding place and stayed there for years. After twenty-one years, that Pet broke through its species limit and successfully evolved.】

【However, Aodinihi’s flute music also has effects like attack and hypnosis, making it impossible to determine if it’s playing a precognitive effect. Therefore, please do not be happy immediately upon hearing Aodinihi’s flute music.】

Foreseeing the specific location of a Pet’s next evolution… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then her heart rate uncontrollably quickened.

This effect was somewhat similar to the dream enlightenment stone she exchanged for with points at Sainan High School, but it was clearly more potent than the dream enlightenment stone.

The dream enlightenment stone only predicted a more suitable evolutionary form, but Aodinihi’s flute music could directly predict the evolution location.

That meant that before this, the desired evolutionary form had already been confirmed, and as long as one found that place and stayed there, evolution would happen sooner or later, especially since a Pet that had already reached its species limit could still break through and evolve again.

Of course, this was a rumor and not necessarily true, but even a 1% probability was enough to make one’s heart race.

Besides Xiao Xunbao, Ya Bao, Lu Bao, and Steel Treasure all desperately needed to predict their specific evolution locations.

The next forms and evolutionary paths of Ya Bao and Steel Treasure were still unknown, so knowing the place of evolution would naturally be good.

And if Lu Bao’s prediction came true, it meant that at that location, it would definitely experience an intense emotion sufficient to cause its evolution!

Why not just try going to the 30th District…

What if she encountered Aodinihi… Qiao Sang turned off her phone and calmed down slightly.

She still needed to discuss this with Pilit.

The 30th District was too dangerous. Even if she was lucky enough to encounter Aodinihi, it might not play the precognitive flute music.

Only if Pilit agreed and accompanied her, with his abilities, the likelihood of finding Aodinihi or getting it to play the flute would be much higher.

Qiao Sang wished she could call Pilit right now, but then she remembered it was already past midnight, so she put the thought aside.

…

The next day.

Qiao Sang woke up, washed up, had breakfast, and arrived at the classroom via Xiao Xunbao’s Space Movement.

After the first class, feeling that it was about time, she eagerly went to the corridor, found an empty spot, and called Pilit.

After two “beep-boops,” the call connected.

Pilit’s slightly sleepy voice came from the speaker: “Hello, why are you calling me so early?”

Oh, he’s still sleeping, how lazy… Qiao Sang inwardly grumbled, then got straight to the point: “Yesterday, Virginia, the Dean of the News Academy, contacted me and said that the Illusion Beast Aodinihi appeared in the 30th District. I want to go there.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, followed by a bewildered voice: “What did you say appeared?”

“The Illusion Beast Aodinihi,” Qiao Sang replied.

Illusion Beast Aodinihi?! Pilit, who had been lying in bed, instantly sobered up, abruptly sat up, and asked somewhat eagerly:

“Are you telling the truth?!”

He remembered that Aodinihi could foresee the specific location of a Pet’s next stage of evolution!

“It was Virginia, the Dean of the News Academy, who told me the news, so it shouldn’t be false,” Qiao Sang said. “Do you want to come with me?”

Virginia of Royal Union Dun… If it’s her, then the news might indeed be true… It seems those people from Royal Union Dun haven’t given up on trying to win over Qiao Sang… Pilit took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and gave an affirmative reply:

“Of course we’re going, and right away!”

He paused, then added: “Get ready, ask for leave now! I’ll come find you!”

With that, he hung up the phone with a “snap.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Why does he seem more excited than me…

As soon as the thought arose, the next second, Qiao Sang understood what was going on.

Aodinihi’s flute music doesn’t just affect one’s own Pet; it affects all Pets. As a Professional Beast Tamer, Pilit naturally also hopes to know the evolution location of his own Pet’s next stage…

…

Having asked for leave once, Qiao Sang felt much more comfortable asking for leave a second time.

She was a student of the Imperial Beast Academy, so even if the teachers of Royal Union Dun were dissatisfied with her frequent absences, it didn’t matter.

Asking for leave went more smoothly than expected.

After getting approval, Qiao Sang returned to the villa via Xiao Xunbao’s Space Movement, organized the toiletries and clothes she needed to bring, and handed them to Xiao Xunbao.

“Keep these things in a separate place so they’ll be easy to find later,” Qiao Sang instructed.

“Xiao Xunbao~” Xiao Xunbao called out while putting the clothes into the ring, indicating that he understood.

Once everything was organized, Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something, picked up her phone, and called the Vice Principal.

The phone connected quickly.

“Hello?” the Vice Principal’s voice came through.

“Vice Principal, the Illusion Beast Aodinihi has appeared in the 30th District. I’m planning to go there. Do you want to come along?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Aodinihi?” Liu Yao’s tone was puzzled.

That tone… Qiao Sang coughed, then explained: “It is said to be able to foresee the specific evolution location of a Pet’s next stage.”

I can’t believe there’s a day when I’m teaching the Vice Principal, hahaha…

Liu Yao was silent for a moment, not particularly excited: “How can an Illusion Beast be found just by wanting to find it?”

“I want to try. What if I get lucky?” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

“Will Pilit be going?” Liu Yao asked.

Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation.

“I’ll be relieved if Pilit accompanies you to the 30th District,” Liu Yao said. “I won’t be going. I have some other things to do here.”

Compared to the Illusion Beast, which had little hope of being seen, he preferred to stay here and continue discussing the Super Dormant Star’s training plan with the Trainers from the First District, learning new knowledge.

“Alright then.” Qiao Sang didn’t insist.

The Vice Principal doesn’t seem to think I’ll find Aodinihi…

Well, that’s normal thinking…

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Sang waited for about ten minutes, then the doorbell rang.

She opened the door.

Pilit stood outside, his eyes burning: “Are you ready? Let’s go, I’ve already bought tickets to the 30th District!”

…

Royal Union Dun University.

News Academy.

In a spacious and luxurious office, a blonde young man reported: “Qiao Sang has already taken leave and departed for the 30th District.”

Virginia leaned back on the sofa and said indifferently: “Good, I know.”

The blonde young man hesitated: “Why did you specifically tell her this news?”

Virginia said calmly: “You already know her performance in the Beastmaster Star Tournament. I can’t be sure if she’ll remember her promise to cooperate with me when she participates in the Interstellar Cup later.”

At this point, she picked up the coffee on the coffee table in front of her and continued:

“Besides, aren’t there often rumors about these legendary Pets? And who has actually seen them?”

“Even if Qiao Sang really encounters one, it’s fine. If she does, it’s actually a good thing; she’ll remember our cooperation even more.”

“Then why did you specifically keep this news from others?” the blonde young man asked, puzzled.

Virginia glanced at him, slowly sipping her coffee as she spoke:

“The fewer people who go, the more valuable this news will appear.”

I learned something… The blonde young man respectfully withdrew.

News of an Illusion Beast, even if it’s just a rumor, is enough to drive people mad.

However, even if the News Academy specifically kept it a secret for Qiao Sang, there are probably many people in the Upper Tenth District who specialize in gathering such intelligence.

The 30th District is going to be lively now…
