"Xun... xun..."

Little Treasure's body stiffened. He turned his head to look at his Beast Tamer, split his mouth into a flattering smile, and let out a cry, indicating that it wasn't really that much, just a tiny bit more than what it cost to hire Guinauke.

As he spoke, he pressed his two short toes together, making a tiny bit gesture.

Alarms blared in Qiao Sang's head. She quickly snatched her phone back and looked at the contents of the mission description:

[URGENTLY NEED a pet that can completely wipe out online information! All related news must be completely erased! Not a single trace can be left behind! Search keywords must absolutely never show up again either! As long as you can pull it off, my Beast Tamer can immediately give you 18, no! 180 points!]

[Absolutely no lies! A deposit of 90 points can be given in advance!]

"180 points?!" Qiao Sang's face paled with shock.

"Xun... xun..."

"Xun... xun..."

Little Treasure let out two cries with a rather weak lack of confidence, explaining that he had no choice. Only by offering enough points could he find a pet capable of deleting online information in the shortest time possible.

While modifying the mission details, Qiao Sang said in deep agony: "Do you have any idea how much 180 points is? It's enough to have Guinauke work for us for ten days straight without taking a single break 24 hours a day!"

"Xun... xun..."

Little Treasure turned around, silently presenting his back to his Beast Tamer. He wiped away a tear, sniffled his nose, and sobbed a cry, indicating he only wanted to...

Before he could finish, Qiao Sang cried out in renewed heartbreak: "You've already given the deposit to someone?!"

"Xun... xun..."

Little Treasure's tear-wiping frozen mid-motion. He turned around and let out a cautious cry, explaining that he had just felt one of the applicants looked really good...

Calm down, calm down... Qiao Sang took a deep breath, preparing to contact the person to ask for a refund on the deposit.

"Xun... xun..."

At this moment, Little Treasure floated over, tugging at his Beast Tamer's clothes. With eyes still pooling with tears, he let out a deeply pleading cry, stating that this person was really amazing. He had checked the records, and their completion rate was 100% with high efficiency, so she should just let them take the job.

Seeing Little Treasure's pitiful state, Qiao Sang's heart wavered intensely, and she didn't send the text she was typing right away.

Amid her hesitation, a notification popped up in the background: [Gui***: Should I head over to start working right now?]

"Xun... xun!"

"Xun... xun!"

Little Treasure glanced at the message and instantly flashed an excited expression. Tugging frantically at his Beast Tamer's clothes, he let out two cries, urging her to let them come over quickly!

Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure.

"Xun... xun..."

Noticing his Beast Tamer's gaze, Little Treasure's excited expression instantly shifted right back into his previous miserable, pitiful look.

Qiao Sang stared at Little Treasure. In the end, she couldn't bring herself to be ruthless and typed a reply: [The deposit given just now is the total compensation. Are you still coming?]

The other party replied within a second: [Yes.]

"Xun... xun!"

Little Treasure instantly burst into an excited expression, floating up and spinning in circles, completely devoid of his previous pathetic act.

At the same time, a green mechanical claw extended from the screen.

Soon, the entire silhouette of the pet emerged fully from the monitor.

With a body that was almost entirely green and sporting two mechanical ears, it was a Guinauke.

It couldn't be the exact same Guinauke that helped us earlier, right... Looking at the pet before her, the corners of Qiao Sang's eyes twitched. She fell silent for a few seconds, just about to speak.

"Xun... xun!"

Little Treasure floated over and let out an enthusiastic cry.

So it was you!

"Gui... gui."

Guinauke nodded with a smile.

Qiao Sang: ...

Heartbreak. Utter, absolute heartbreak.

To be honest, if it had been any other random pet, she wouldn't feel this devastated.

But out of all possibilities, the one who came happened to be that exact same Guinauke who only required 18 points to work 24 hours a day without rest!

"Why is your username different from before?" Qiao Sang asked, firmly suppressing her agonizing heartache.

"Gui... gui."

Guinauke cried out with a pleasant smile.

An abundance of points really changes their attitude. I didn't see him smile like this once during those previous 24 hours... Qiao Sang lamented inwardly.

"Xun... xun~"

While she was dwelling on it, Little Treasure helped translate.

He said that mechanical-type pets like them who can access the internet are all capable of registering accounts, and the account used to accept the mission this time belonged to him personally.

So that's how it is... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Gui... gui?"

Guinauke let out another cry, asking what content needed to be deleted.

"Xun... xun!"

Little Treasure quickly provided the answer.

Guinauke listened attentively.

Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure. Seeing him restore his usual energetic self, her feelings of heartbreak eased slightly. She stood up and walked toward the door.

Forget it, the points have already been paid anyway. Worst case scenario, I'll just have Little Treasure earn them back later...

The next day.

10:00 AM.

Imperial Beast University, inside the hallway of the teaching building.

Little Treasure held a small mirror, happily preening left and right, admiring his post-evolution appearance.

Ever since he discovered that the videos and news regarding him being instantly KO'd by the Clothes-Changing Totem could no longer be found anywhere on the internet, his mood had been spectacular.

"Stop looking at yourself, we're here." Qiao Sang said.

"Xun... xun~"

Little Treasure put the mirror back into his ring.

Qiao Sang knocked on the door of the breeding room.

The door slid open automatically, and Qiao Sang stepped inside.

Teacher Flauda looked at Little Treasure and remarked with emotion: "I didn't expect your Ghost Ring King to evolve so quickly."

Before Qiao Sang arrived, Mikayla had already informed him about the Ghost Ring King's evolution, so he wasn't overly surprised when he saw the Night Ring King.

Then, remembering something, he asked, "You asked me for a high-grade energy dissipation potion yesterday. Did you already know that the Ghost Ring King's energy was reaching the limit of the General-level?"

"Xun... xun..."

Little Treasure blinked, stunned.

His Beast Tamer had gone looking for a high-grade energy dissipation potion for him?

He hadn't known about this at all...

Qiao Sang replied: "Not really. I just wanted to give it a try. After all, Little Treasure wanted to evolve very badly at that time."

"Xun... xun..."

Little Treasure looked at his Beast Tamer, his face filled with deep moving emotion.

Teacher Flauda didn't pry further and smiled: "Come over for the examination."

"Xun... xun~"

Little Treasure floated over, cooperating very obediently.

He opened his mouth when told to open his mouth, lay down when told to lay down, and rolled his eyelids when told to roll his eyelids.

After about five minutes, Teacher Flauda looked at the data displayed on the instrument and suddenly let out a soft "Huh?", his expression turning serious.

Looks like the Dark attribute has been detected... Qiao Sang put on a worried facade and asked: "What's wrong?"

Yesterday, by the time Guinauke finished deleting all the information, it was already too late. She had still been grieving over the 90 points, so she went to bed early and hadn't told Little Treasure about the Dark attribute, traits, and skills yet.

Furthermore, as a Beast Tamer, it was only natural to be unaware of an attribute that suddenly manifested inside a pet's body right after evolution if they hadn't undergone a professional examination or cast any related skills.

Teacher Flauda checked carefully once more, then revealed an expression of shock and bewilderment: "The Night Ring King seems to have gained a Dark attribute inside his body!"

"Xun... xun?!"

Little Treasure shot up from the ground into the air

What?

Dark attribute?!

"What? Dark attribute? Really?" Qiao Sang feigned an expression of just finding out, confirming with a face full of pleasant surprise.

Gangbao silently cast a glance at her own Beast Tamer.

"Yap... yap?"

Yabao tilted his head, looking completely puzzled.

Can attributes just suddenly pop out like that?

"It is indeed an added Dark attribute!" Teacher Flauda stated in a very definitive tone.

He looked at Little Treasure with a complex expression and continued: "This kind of situation is extremely rare. I remember that a normal Night Ring King should only possess the Ghost attribute."

Qiao Sang asked: "Could it be because Little Treasure is a shiny mutant variant?"

Teacher Flauda shook his head: "This has nothing to do with being a shiny mutant ariant."

Qiao Sang asked again: "Then could it be because he absorbed too much negative energy previously?"

"It has nothing to do with that either." Teacher Flauda stated.

Pausing for a moment, he analyzed: "This kind of situation can only mean it was inherent within his bloodline, and it was only completely triggered once he evolved into the Night Ring King."

Little Treasure's bloodline is clearly not simple... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Xun... xun..."

Little Treasure listened, completely dazed.

Sounds like I'm incredibly awesome...

Remembering something, Professor Flauda said, "I must inform Teacher Mikayla about this."

With that, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Can you come over for a moment? The Night Ring King is currently undergoing an examination, and I want to discuss his situation with you."

Within just a few seconds, Mikayla materialized out of thin air inside the room, asking with a rather solemn face: "Did something happen to the Night Ring King? For you to require talking in person."

After saying that, she flashed a reassuring "Don't panic, I'm here" look at Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang: ...

"He awakened a Dark attribute." Professor Flauda stated.

Mikayla: ???

"The Night Ring King awakened a Dark attribute?" Mikayla verified with a face full of disbelief.

As a professional Beast Tamer, her past focus had strictly been on training her own pets. Unlike Teacher Flauda, who regularly interacted with pets from different countries and even planets aside from his own,helping examine, breed, and even research them, her reaction was considerably more intense.

Once a pet hatches from its egg, its attributes are usually set in stone.

For a pet whose evolutionary chain was already established, and whose forms and attributes for every stage were fixed, to suddenly gain an extra attribute out of thin air at a certain stage was something she was witnessing for the very first time.

"That's right. I've checked repeatedly, he indeed has an additional Dark attribute." Teacher Flauda nodded.

Mikayla looked at Little Treasure, her eyes filled with shock.

Then, realizing she had lost her composure, she reeled in her expression.

"Xun... xun~"

Through Teacher Flauda and Mikayla's expressions, Little Treasure also realized just how badass he was. His back straightened more and more, and his head lifted higher and higher.

Qiao Sang coughed and said in a tone of sudden realization: "No wonder I was wondering why Little Treasure's color turned black after evolving. It turns out it was because of the Dark attribute."

Professor Flauda nodded slightly: "A pet's attributes can indeed influence its color."

Mikayla fell silent for a few seconds before slowly saying, "I'll leave the Night Ring King's upcoming energy pellets to you then."

"Rest assured on that." Professor Flauda said confidently. 

"I will definitely formulate the energy pellets that suit him perfectly."

Exiting the breeding room, Mikayla looked at Little Treasure, who couldn't wait to pull out his mirror to admire himself, and smiled: "Your Night Ring King is in a good mood again?"

Qiao Sang gave an "Mm": "His moods just come and go in waves. Miserable one second, and completely fine the next."

She didn't really want to mention the fact that she had played the fool and thrown away 90 points.

Mikayla recalled the main business at hand and said:

"Since your Night Ring King has awakened a Dark attribute, there is a high probability he has also awakened skills related to it. During the remainder of your time in the Eagle Country, look into what skills he has awakened and try to get him to cast them successfully. If there are any issues, you can look for me anytime."

"Understood." Qiao Sang nodded.

"Xun... xun~"

"Xun... xun~"

Little Treasure put down his mirror, floating around happily.

Dark attribute~

Dark attribute~

Suddenly, Mikayla asked: "Now that the Ghost Ring King has evolved into the Night Ring King, have you awakened Spiritual Vision?"

Qiao Sang was caught off guard: "I don't know..."

Then, remembering something, she looked at Little Treasure and said: "Go invisible for a bit."

"Xun... xun?"

Little Treasure stopped, revealing a confused expression.

He was already in an invisible state right now.

Qiao Sang: !!!

In that case, she had already awakened Spiritual Vision? Qiao Sang felt a surge of pleasant surprise, but then she let out a sigh and said: "I've already awakened Spiritual Vision, but I don't seem to be able to tell whether a pet is invisible or not."

Mikayla laughed: "That's a good thing. It means the grade of the Spiritual Vision you awakened is very high. When most Beast Tamers first awaken Spiritual Vision, they can only see a blurry mass, not the actual, detailed appearance."

Qiao Sang asked with some worry: "Will I see things I shouldn't be seeing in the future?"

Mikayla looked at her and asked with a smile: "Are you afraid?"

Qiao Sang blanked out for a moment, then smiled: "It turns out I'm actually not afraid at all."

Having stayed in the Beast Taming world for so long, her courage was already completely different from before.

Borsay Manor, No. 101.

The open-air training ground.

"Xun... xun..."

Little Treasure channeled his energy.

Instantly, a semi-transparent barrier enveloped both him and Gangbao inside.

At the same time, a blue light flashed across both Little Treasure and Gangbao's bodies, though it quickly disappeared.

"This Wonder Room can swap your defense and any defensive traits within a certain period of time." Qiao Sang explained from the sidelines.

"Gang Zhan."

Gangbao felt the changes seriously.

Little Treasure blinked, and then his eyes shone with immense brilliance as he looked toward Yabao eagerly.

That was a look he had never directed at Yabao before.

"Yap... yap..."

Yabao seemed to understand Little Treasure's intention. He settled into a combat stance, and the fiery wings on his sides flared up with a bit more fierce heat.

"Xun... xun..."

Little Treasure's body stiffened. He turned around and directed his eager expression toward Lubao instead.

"Lu Di..."

A visible, icy chill emanated from Lubao's body.

Little Treasure's body stiffened once more. He cast a glance at the massive frame of Gangbao, weighed the pros and cons, and finally hooked his short toe toward Qingbao, letting out a provocative cry: "Xun... xun!"

"Qing... qing..."

Witnessing the entire process, veins bulged on Qingbao's forehead, and furious gales erupted violently around her.

The wild winds howled, sweeping fiercely toward Little Treasure.

Little Treasure stood completely immovable amidst the raging storm.

"Xun... xun~"

The wild winds dissipated. Little Treasure was entirely unscathed, flashing an as expected of me expression.

Qiao Sang: ...

Qingbao is High-level, and you are currently King-level. Even if you hadn't swapped defenses with Gangbao, you wouldn't have been hurt at all, alright...

"Qing... qing!"

Unable to tolerate Little Treasure's arrogant behavior, the gales around Qingbao became even more rampant than before.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang quickly threw a glance at Lubao.

"Lu Di... Lu~ Lu... Lu Di... Lu~ Lu Di~ Lu... Lu~"

Lubao understood what her Beast Tamer meant and immediately began to sing.

Invisible soundwaves rippled outward.

"Qing... qing..."

The wild winds died down, and Qingbao's expression gradually grew peaceful.

"Let's try another skill now." Qiao Sang said.

"Xun... xun?"

Little Treasure called out with a peaceful expression.

What is it?

"Retaliate." Qiao Sang said.

"Xun... xun..."

Hearing the skill name, Little Treasure gave a nod of contemplation.

He liked this name.

"Retaliate. By using this move right before taking damage, you can forcefully return the damage of the final move received back to the opponent with great force." Qiao Sang provided the technical explanation.

"Xun... xun..."

Little Treasure understood.

It meant that before casting this move, he had to take an attack first.

"Exactly." Qiao Sang nodded.

"Xun... xun..."

Little Treasure looked at Yabao, Lubao, and Gangbao, before finally locking his gaze onto Qingbao once again.
