"Whose spectral-type pet is invisible? Thatâs so scary!"
"Could it be a wild spectral-type pet?"
"Donât freak me outâjust now, I heard several kinds of spectral pet sounds..."
The crowd, startled by the sudden cackles of spectral-type pets, temporarily lost interest in the movie.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter watched as most of the audience stood up, distracted from the film, and showed a helpless expression.
Qiao Sang turned her head, saw Little Treasure Hunterâs expression, and connected it to the movie tickets and "crew" it mentioned in the morning. In an instant, she understood what was going on.
"Lubao, Healing Sound Wave." Qiao Sang whispered.
"Bing bing~ Bing bing~ Bing bing bing~ Bing bing~"
Without hesitation, Lubao began to sing.
Invisible sound waves rippled outward.
The audience gradually regained their composure, calmly analyzing the situation:
Although there were indeed several spectral pet sounds, since they hadnât attacked or caused any chaos all this time, it seemed that they were contracted pets and simply hidden from sight.
Thinking this, the audience sat back down one by one and resumed watching the film.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter sighed with relief at this sight.
Billet, who had been observing all of this, suddenly remarked, "It seems like your Ghost Ring King isnât much affected by the Healing Sound Wave now?"
Qiao Sang maintained a calm expression and said, "Is that so."
Billet: "..."
...
An hour later.
The group exited the movie theater.
"Xun Xun~"
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter happily floated about in mid-air.
"Hey! Look! Isnât that the pet that appeared in the movie just now?" A passerby who exited the theater alongside them exclaimed in surprise, pointing at Little Treasure Hunter in mid-air.
"Xun Xun..."
This exclamation instantly made Little Treasure Hunter self-conscious. It removed a circular band from itself and swiftly pulled out a black cape, draping it dashingly over its back.
"Little Treasure Hunter did pretty well; it has some talent for acting." Liu Yao said as he walked ahead, casually offering praise.
"It only had two scenes..." Billet stopped himself mid-sentence and suddenly remembered something, then said, "You head back first; Iâll take Qiao Sang to the Beast Taming Center to pick up a task."
"Alright." Liu Yao nodded, then eagerly turned upward and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
"Di."
Adinixiâs voice rang out from above.
"Xian."
The Sky Manifest Bat translated in sync.
Liu Yaoâs tone turned disappointed. "Guess Iâll head out first, then."
With that, he strode away.
Gangbao slowly expanded in size.
"What task is it?" Qiao Sang climbed onto Gangbaoâs back and asked.
Yaobao tended to reject anyone but Qiao Sang riding on it; Gangbao, on the other hand, didnât show particular resistance.
Over the past month, Billet often accompanied Qiao Sang to the Beast Taming Center on Gangbaoâs back.
Billet, seated adeptly on Gangbao, explained:
"Someone is looking for a pet with high-temperature fire-element skills to melt a piece of Flame Ink Gold. The reward is 10 grams of Flame Ink Gold. This material is a main ingredient for certain rare fire-element potions. Youâll need it sooner or later since you have Flame Kiru."
Since Qiao Sangâs Unlimited Card had expired, she couldnât resist the allure of free rare materials. She straightened up and said with determination:
"We better hurry; what if someone else takes the task? Gangbao!"
"Gangzhan."
Gangbao let out a call, flapped its wings powerfully, and swiftly ascended into the skies.
"Xun Xun!"
Still striking a pose, Little Treasure Hunter saw this and quickly activated its glowing blue eyes as it rushed to follow.
...
Half an hour later.
Qiao Sang came out of the Beast Taming Center, asking with some confusion, "Why isnât there a limit to the number of people for this task?"
"Because the melting point of Flame Ink Gold is extraordinarily high," Billet replied. "Itâs likely that multiple groups have already attempted but failed to melt it, so thereâs no restriction on participants anymore."
Qiao Sang nodded in realization. "No wonder you only told me about this task after the movie."
Billet chuckled. "This is Ghost Ring Kingâs first movie; I figured even if you missed this task, youâd prioritize seeing the film. Thatâs why I didnât say anything beforehand."
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter, hovering nearby, was instantly moved by this explanation and stared over at Qiao Sang with emotion.
No, that was the old me. The current me, without an Unlimited Card, really wants to take on tasks like this... Qiao Sang held back her inner thoughts under Little Treasure Hunterâs gaze, putting on a smile as she said, "You know me so well."
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter floated over, happily rubbing its head against its Beast Tamerâs.
Billet glanced at the time on his wristwatch and remarked, "Itâs not particularly late right now. You can head to the task location immediately."
