Chapter 912: The second wind-transforming ability

The next morning, Qiao Sang simply washed up, had breakfast, and took Steel Treasure and the others to the indoor training ground for training.

The Yu Beast Center’s indoor training grounds can be reserved, so there’s no need to worry about disturbances.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Qiao Sang checked the time and set off for Cluster Flower Avenue.

It was still covered in flower petals.

Compared to last night, there were clearly more.

As expected, it hasn’t been dealt with yet… Qiao Sang sighed, took out her phone, and dialed the number she had just added yesterday.

After several ‘beeps,’ the call connected.

“Hello?”

“It’s me, the one who added your number last night,” Qiao Sang stated her identity.

“I know, I know,” the woman asked, “Are you looking for me for something?”

“I saw that the flowers on Cluster Flower Avenue haven’t been dealt with yet, and I wanted to ask if something delayed it?” Qiao Sang asked tactfully.

The woman was silent for a moment, then sighed:

“It’s just that the Fragrance Eating Ants are unwilling, and two even ran out today and were just brought back.”

“If the Fragrance Eating Ants remain unwilling, how do you plan to handle it?” Qiao Sang asked.

“That depends on what the higher-ups arrange,” the woman said, “I’m just a feeder.”

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then said, “Can you send me the address of your Pet base?”

The woman was startled, then said with a hint of pleasant surprise, “Okay, I’ll send it to you right now!”

Qiao Sang hung up the phone, opened the sent address, and started navigation.

…

Huatiang Qiyang District Pet Base.

The woman hung up the phone, looking in a good mood.

“Who was it?” a colleague next to her asked.

“A Yu Beast Master who took on the Cluster Flower Avenue mission,” the woman said.

“Then why are you so happy?” the colleague seemed a bit confused.

This kind of mission completely troubled their low-level Staff. Not only did the higher-ups urge them, but they also sent a Yu Beast Master specifically to rush them, making it seem like they didn’t want to solve the problem.

“You don’t understand,” the woman lowered her voice and said mysteriously, “She has a red Fire-type Pet with fiery wings.”

The colleague’s face was full of question marks: “So?”

The woman hinted, “Don’t you think the Yu Beast Master with this Pet looks a lot like someone currently being talked about online?”

The colleague didn’t want to think: “Who?”

The woman gave the other person a look that said, “How could you not even know this?”:

“Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster! She has a Pet like that.”

The colleague was stunned for a moment, then scoffed, “Are you overthinking it? Pets that meet these criteria are rare, but not completely nonexistent. I can name several right now.”

The woman said very confidently:

“Believe me, that Pet looks exactly like the one in the online pictures. Someone has already dug it up, it’s a Flame Qilu from Yuhua region, and it seems to be a brand new form. Online, it’s said that there’s currently only one, and no evolution path has been researched. If there’s only one, then it can only be Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster.”

The colleague was somewhat convinced but still had doubts:

“Aren’t there some Yu Beast Masters who, to gain attention, specifically contract Pets that can transform and change into those rare Pets every day?”

The woman firmly believed in her judgment:

“You’ll know when that Yu Beast Master arrives.”

As soon as she finished speaking, another colleague walked over:

“Zhao Xin, someone’s looking for you, says they just called you.”

At these words, the woman and her colleague next to her exchanged surprised glances, thinking, “That fast?”

“Hello, do you have time now?” Qiao Sang walked out from behind the guiding Staff, holding Steel Treasure.

This Pet base was only 6.2 kilometers from Cluster Flower Avenue, within Little Qunbao’s Space Movement range. Little Qunbao didn’t move well and directly moved inside. Fortunately, there was a Staff nearby who helped guide them after being asked.

Zhao Xin was startled, then quickly managed her expression: “Yes!”

The colleague next to her stared blankly at Steel Treasure for a while, then stepped forward and said enthusiastically, “I do too!”

Qiao Sang was slightly taken aback, not understanding why the other party’s attitude was like seeing a big client, when she wasn’t here to buy Pets.

Seeing this, Zhao Xin quickly introduced, “She’s like me, also a feeder for Fragrance Eating Ants.”

Qiao Sang looked over.

The short-haired feeder immediately smiled.

The guiding Staff understood that she was no longer needed and turned to leave.

It’s good to have one more person… Qiao Sang nodded, “Then I’ll trouble you.”

“No trouble at all, no trouble at all,” the short-haired feeder quickly walked forward and said enthusiastically, “I’ll take you to see the Fragrance Eating Ants responsible for Cluster Flower Avenue first. Actually, this problem isn’t particularly difficult to solve. It’s just that the leading Fragrance Eating Ant is leading the protest, so the emotions of the dozens of Fragrance Eating Ants below have also been stirred up. As long as the problem with the leading Fragrance Eating Ant is solved, it’ll be fine.”

“However, that leading Fragrance Eating Ant is quite stubborn and difficult to reason with.”

“But the problem isn’t big. If we can find some Flying-type Pets, or Pets with particularly strong Wind-type skills to blow all the petals on Cluster Flower Avenue to one place, and then find a few Lala Grays to eat those already rotten petals, then the Fragrance Eating Ants will be willing to absorb the fresh petals that fall every day.”

Lala Gray, likes to live in places with garbage, eats garbage, and has the ability to decompose garbage in its body.

Logically, it’s a very good Pet for cleaning work on the street, but because its body is extremely smelly, even its breathing will have an odor, so it’s not suitable for frequent appearances on the street.

The short-haired feeder babbled on about many things.

And she said I was overthinking it… Zhao Xin, remembering their previous conversation and seeing her colleague’s current attitude, felt a bit speechless.

While talking, the three arrived at the Fragrance Eating Ant breeding base.

Each Fragrance Eating Ant, seeing the two familiar feeders, immediately turned their heads and silently moved away.

“They don’t want to go to Cluster Flower Avenue right now, that’s why they’re like this,” Zhao Xin stepped forward and explained.

“That one is the Fragrance Eating Ant leading the protest,” the short-haired feeder pointed to a Fragrance Eating Ant not far away that was eating an Energy Pill.

Compared to other Fragrance Eating Ants, this one was clearly larger.

“Fragrance…”

The large Fragrance Eating Ant noticed their gaze, turned its head to look at them, then took two steps to change direction, choosing to eat its Energy Pill with its rear facing them.

Qiao Sang: “…”

It really does look difficult to reason with…

“You see?” the short-haired feeder said helplessly, “So I think the second method I just mentioned is relatively easier to implement. We actually submitted this plan, but…”

“But what?” Qiao Sang asked cooperatively.

Zhao Xin explained:

“Cluster Flower Avenue doesn’t allow Lala Gray to work before 12 AM. Lala Gray’s work schedule usually involves sleeping around 10 PM, which is easy to solve; just give them some Awakening Powder.”

“However, to gather all the petals on Cluster Flower Avenue in one place, we need Pets with strong Wind-type skills and good control.”

“All the Flying-type Pets at our Pet base are Beginner or Intermediate, so a large number of them would be needed. But the manager at the Flying-type Pet breeding base has been holding back approval, saying that the Flying-type Pets are still too young and difficult to manage in large numbers, so this matter has been stuck there.”

She paused, then added, “But this matter will be resolved sooner or later. After all, this is our job, and the higher-ups will also pay attention to it.”

The problem is that “sooner or later” is too late for me… Qiao Sang then thought of something and asked:

“Will the Fragrance Eating Ants get sick if they ingest rotten petals?”

“Of course not,” the short-haired feeder said, “How could we let them ingest anything harmful to their bodies? Although Fragrance Eating Ants are said to eat fragrance, they can actually eat any plant, they just selectively ingest fragrant plants.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s heart stirred.

If it’s not harmful to their bodies, wouldn’t she be able to make them calmly ingest the petals on Cluster Flower Avenue if she had Dew Treasure use Therapeutic Sound Wave?

Just as the thought arose, Zhao Xin suddenly sighed:

“We actually tried the first plan first, but the leading Fragrance Eating Ant is too stubborn. Later, I applied for a Spirit Heart to give them some mental Purification, to make them ingest the petals. The effect was good, they went, but after less than five minutes, the effect of the mental Purification disappeared, and they became even more resistant.”

At these words, Qiao Sang immediately dismissed her previous idea.

Am I just going to wait like this?

Steel Treasure does have a wide-range skill like Typhoon to blow away petals, but Typhoon is difficult to control and would definitely affect the flower trees nearby…

Dew Treasure’s Favorable Wind skill could work, but the range it can blow is too small. If it relied solely on it, it would probably take several days.

You know, Cluster Flower Avenue is two kilometers long.

And Dew Treasure is only a Beginner Pet, and Favorable Wind is only at the Proficient level…

As Qiao Sang pondered, the short-haired feeder tentatively asked:

“I wonder if you have any Flying-type Pets with Wind-type skills?”

Qiao Sang nodded:

“I do, but the skill is Typhoon, which is difficult to control.”

The short-haired feeder then probed:

“What about Fairy-type Pets?”

Qiao Sang looked at her.

Zhao Xin tugged at her colleague’s clothes.

The short-haired feeder simply stopped pretending, her eyes burning as she said:

“I know you’re Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster. I have no other intentions, I just want to help you complete the mission quickly.”

Qiao Sang remembered her first mission after contracting Dew Treasure and realized:

“Are you planning for me to use Qingqing Ni to entice the manager of the Flying-type Pet breeding base?”

I was right after all! Zhao Xin’s eyes lit up.

The short-haired feeder was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously retorted, “How could he be worthy!”

She realized what she had said, gave a fake cough, and salvaged her dignity:

“I don’t mean that. I mean, Qingqing Ni is a darling of the wind. With it, the wind will move according to its thoughts. You can completely use Qingqing Ni to gather all the petals in one place, and then we can set a time and bring the Lala Grays over.”

After speaking, she gave Zhao Xin a look.

Zhao Xin immediately cooperated:

“That’s right, the supervisor at the Flying-type Pet breeding base could clearly approve it with just a word, but he’s stubbornly holding back. If he knew you were Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster, he might make unreasonable demands like touching Qingqing Ni or kissing it.”

“The manager at the Lala Gray side is easy to talk to. If you can, we can bring the Lala Grays over tonight at 12 AM.”

“Absolutely!” the short-haired feeder added.

Qiao Sang fell silent.

She felt that these people in the Zhongkong region seemed to have deified Qingqing Ni. Qingqing Ni was clearly still a Beginner Pet. Even if it was a darling of the wind, at most, its talent value would be maxed out when learning Wind-type skills. No matter how strong it was, or how freely it could control the wind, that would only happen after it became Wind God Cloud.

“Do you have any concerns?” the short-haired feeder asked, seeing Qiao Sang remain silent.

“Qingqing Ni is still a Beginner Pet,” Qiao Sang tactfully expressed her opinion.

Zhao Xin was startled, then remembered another piece of information from online and asked cautiously, “You’re not from our Zhongkong region?”

“Mm,” Qiao Sang nodded.

“No wonder,” the short-haired feeder realized, “You might not fully understand the meaning of ‘Qingqing Ni is a darling of the wind’ yet.”

Qiao Sang adopted an eager-to-hear posture.

“Qingqing Ni is naturally capable of Wind Transformation, able to travel through various winds and make the wind move according to its thoughts,” the short-haired feeder said, then seemed afraid she wouldn’t believe it and emphasized, “Really, it says so in the books!”

Qiao Sang silently pondered for a few seconds.

She remembered Dew Treasure’s directly maxed-out Wind Transformation characteristic.

Could it be that besides transforming into wind to travel everywhere, it can also perfectly control wind?

After thinking it over, Qiao Sang said, “Let me think about it. I’ll contact you later.”

Zhao Xin quickly nodded: “Okay!”

The short-haired feeder’s eyes lit up: “We’ll wait for you!”

…

7 PM.

Yu Beast Center.

Indoor training ground.

“Dewdew.”

Dew Treasure pursed its lips, and a gust of wind immediately swept up.

“Try to see if you can make it bigger,” Qiao Sang said from the side.

Dew Treasure maintained its pursed-lips posture, its face slightly red from exertion.

At the same time, the wind became a little stronger than before.

But that was all.

It still depends on energy, it’s not like the wind can just get bigger if it wants to… Qiao Sang summarized, then she thought of something and looked at Steel Treasure next to her, saying:

“Use Typhoon.”

Qingqing Ni is naturally capable of Wind Transformation, able to travel through various winds and make the wind move according to its thoughts… If that’s the case…

“Steel Sword.” Steel Treasure flew to the ceiling, and then, its wings flapped downwards forcefully.

A fierce gust of wind immediately rose, dust flew, and the windows rattled loudly.

Qiao Sang looked at Dew Treasure and raised her voice, “Transform into wind and go in, see if you can control it!”

“Dewdew!”

Dew Treasure looked at the howling Typhoon in front of it, a hint of excitement flashing in its eyes. Without any hesitation, it transformed into wind and rushed straight in.

The Typhoon raged, but in an instant, as if controlled by some force, it began to rotate upwards, forming a miniature tornado.

Immediately after, the tornado spun larger and larger, finally diffusing and disappearing.

“Dewdew~”

Dew Treasure reappeared from within, showing a happy expression, and chirped, indicating that it was quite easy to control.

Holy cow!

It really works!

Qiao Sang was shocked. She had never known that the Wind Transformation characteristic had such a heaven-defying function!

If this is the case, wouldn’t Dew Treasure no longer have to fear Wind-type skills in the future?!

After a brief moment of shock and surprise, Qiao Sang impatiently took out her phone and dialed Zhao Xin’s number.

“Hello?” The other party’s voice came from the speaker.

“Tonight at 12 AM, I’ll be waiting for you at Cluster Flower Avenue!”
