Chapter 162: Chapter 157 Lost Town
Qiao Sang promptly sent a [?] in line with the team’s formation.
The next second, the chat interface displayed [Shi Gaofeng has recalled a ssage].
Although the senior 2 school team had six mbers, their daily training and actions were mostly separate for solo and team battles; hence, two groups were created.
Qiao Sang was in the Invincible Shengshui group, which had a total of five people including her, and it was usually everyone but Zheng Guoping chatting.
The sudden appearance of Zheng Guoping now frightened Shi Gaofeng into hastily retracting his ssage, deep fear of being singled out.
Wang Yao looked at the bunch of people who suddenly started chatting in the group and was speechless.
So you all were here!
She suppressed the urge to snark and scrolled up to look at Qiao Sang’s ssage, feeling a bit pained.
From accepting the task until now, it had only been one full day, and they had already completed that open-ended task of finding a Spectral-type pet beast?
Even finding people isn’t that fast, right!
Just as she was about to send a ssage to ask how it was completed, she had only typed two characters when the latest three ssages in the group made her heart skip, and she pressed the delete key.
All three were sent by Zheng Baolong.
[Zheng Guoping: Photo]
Upon opening it, there it was—the task detail page of seeking the Ghost-absorbing Lantern, with the given scores and evaluations at the end.
[Zheng Guoping: Voice ssage]
[Zheng Guoping: Voice ssage]
Both were 60 seconds long.
Out of curiosity, she converted the first voice ssage to text.
[Take a look at Qiao Sang. She’s a year younger than you guys, and on her first task, this is the efficiency she shows, completing it so well. Now look at yourselves. How many tasks have you taken on? How many were five-star? And look at others…]
She knew without listening that the second voice ssage would be scolding them too.
Wang Yao felt a chill through her heart; she had always been the child that others envied.
Ever since she contracted with the Great Fla Sparrow and got into the best Shengshui Middle School in the city, how could anyone not look at her with envy?
Even within Shengshui Middle School, a place of geniuses, she had been selected for the school team’s solo battle group—it would be a lie to say she wasn’t proud.
Before Qiao Sang ca, she was the one in the team who got scolded the least.
Was she lacking? She was not!
It was just that Qiao Sang was too abnormal, that’s all.
Zheng Baolong was really too much, comparing them with such an abnormality; Wang Yao felt defiant and was just about to type sothing to argue for herself.
Just then, Zheng Baolong sent another ssage.
[Zheng Guoping: By the way, how are you three doing with the tasks?]
Wang Yao looked up at the Great Fla Sparrow’s impatient face and chickened out.
Forget it, better to argue back after completing the task…
Once Zheng Guoping appeared, nobody in the group said anything more, so Qiao Sang exited to check her other ssages.
[I am Potential Stock: Qiao Sang, Qiao Sang, what do you think of the Bar Fire Butterfly?]
The ssage was half an hour old.
Qiao Sang’s eyelid twitched, I am Potential Stock was Fang Sisi’s ID, and throughout this sumr vacation, she had already asked about all five evolutionary forms of the Cotton Caterpillar.
[I think it’s good.]
Fang Sisi quickly replied.
[Right? I think so too! So I made a decision, to evolve Cotton Caterpillar into a Bar Fire Butterfly!]
Qiao Sang, having gotten used to her antics, typed a line leisurely.
[How do you plan to do it?]
[I am Potential Stock: I went to ask a Breeder specially, to evolve into an excellent Bar Fire Butterfly it has to first beco a brave Cotton Caterpillar; otherwise, even if it evolves with the Fire Stone, it won’t be as valiant as other Fire Elent beasts, and the fire energy will be greatly reduced.]
Qiao Sang suddenly had a bad feeling.
The previous tis Fang Sisi had wanted Cotton Caterpillar to evolve into a Bar Snow Butterfly, she would put it in the fridge daily for half an hour to get it used to the cold early on.
Latterly, when she wanted it to evolve into a Bar Poison Butterfly, she searched the web every day for dark cuisine recipes to cook for it.
Later on, she changed her mind and wanted the Cotton Caterpillar to evolve into a Bar Water Butterfly, so she spent a long ti taking it for swims, though how she taught it was a mystery, she sohow managed to teach the naturally non-swimming Cotton Caterpillar how to swim.
Honestly, she still really admired Fang Sisi’s Cotton Caterpillar for being able to endure so much tornt.
Thinking about the Cotton Caterpillar’s unknown upcoming ordeal, Qiao Sang felt a bit sorry for it.
She sent a ssage to ask.
[What are you planning to do?]
[I’m Potential Stock: I asked around and found out that the best way to train courage is to walk through a haunted house. There’s a horror puzzle room that just opened on Qin She Road a while ago, so I plan to take the Cotton Caterpillar there to build so bravery.]
Qiao Sang was startled for a mont and typed in the chat box, [Is that the one at number 231?]
[I’m Potential Stock: I didn’t notice, wait for , I’ll check.]
It only took Fang Sisi three seconds to reply.
[Yeah, that’s the one! How did you know, have you been there?]
It was indeed the one she had seen on the task list. Qiao Sang was about to reply when the chat window jolted.
[So did you play the Lost Town puzzle room? The Cotton Caterpillar that dropped out of the sky in the third level of it, still sared with blood, that’s actually my Mian Mian.] Followed by a shy emoticon.
Qiao Sang: “…”
[So you let the Cotton Caterpillar work as an NPC?]
[I’m Potential Stock: I took it to play once but didn’t clear it. I wanted to play again, but it was too expensive. It costs 1000 Alliance Currency for one ga. So, I made the Cotton Caterpillar work to earn enough money to have another go.]
Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched; the Cotton Caterpillar’s experience was indeed very miserable this ti too…
After so thought, Qiao Sang typed a line.
[How much does the Cotton Caterpillar make a day working there?]
[I’m Potential Stock: 100 Alliance Currency.]
Qiao Sang once again felt sympathy; working hard for ten days just to spend money to scare itself, what for…
…
At 8:22 pm.
Qin She Road, number 231.
Many passersby were looking up at the newly opened escape room, curious but hesitant to enter.
Because the decoration of the shop was mainly in black and was continuously flickering with dim and bright simulated candlelight, it was obviously a horror-thed escape room.
Inside, a girl in a purple dress was flipping through the escape room nu page by page.
“Hello, would you like to play the single-player escape room or the multiplayer one?” A handso staff mber asked.
After browsing for a while, Qiao Sang asked, “Do you have an escape room just for Pet Beasts to run through?”
After the chat with Fang Sisi, Qiao Sang suddenly rembered what Wang Yao had said: to improve a Pet Beast’s spiritual power, let it experience fear and then overco it.
Yaobao was basically afraid of nothing, not even the earth.
It rely disliked water and didn’t fear it.
If she had to say, Qiao Sang thought that it was probably afraid of horrifying things, such as Spectral-type Pet Beasts.
Whether it was watching horror movies, encountering the Ghost-absorbing Lantern, or eting the Treasure-seeking Ghost, Yaobao’s reactions were always intense.
So, Qiao Sang brought Yaobao here to give it a try.
Overcoming fear, of course, worked best when done by oneself.
“Yes, we do.” The staff mber handed her another nu: “All the escape rooms in this book are for Pet Beasts to play. Do you want the single Pet Beast room, or the multiplayer one?”
After knowing that the girl in front of him was a Beast Tar, the staff mber’s address changed from ‘you’ to ‘you’ with a more respectful tone.
“Single Pet Beast.” Qiao Sang said.
“Then I recomnd you choose Ghost Shadow City, Isolation Space, or Lost Town, located on pages 2, 8, and 9, respectively. You can have a look,” the staff mber suggested.
Lost Town?
Qiao Sang paused for a mont. Wasn’t that the puzzle room where Fang Sisi’s Cotton Caterpillar was working as an NPC?
“Let’s go with that one,” Qiao Sang said, pointing at the words ‘Lost Town’ on page 9.
