Chapter 85: Chapter 81 Energy Recovery Potion
Aunt Wang and my mother have been neighbors since childhood, both originally from Shuitao Road, yet the man Aunt Wang married lives in the Chen Chuan Neighborhood at the town’s center.
Qiao Sang rode an ordinary bicycle usually used by her aunt for grocery shopping and headed for the town center.
Fire-Toothed Dog sat in the front basket, while Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, as usual, lay on Qiao Sang’s head.
Qiao Sang allowed the Treasure-seeking Ghost to lie on her head.
Who could refuse a Pet Beast that helps block the sun in the hot summer?
Chen Chuan Neighborhood.
After parking the bicycle, Qiao Sang went to Building A, Apartment 501.
The door was opened by Aunt Wang herself.
Although they had seldom met and barely spoken, Qiao Sang remembered what her mother’s friend looked like, as there were only a few.
When Aunt Wang opened the door, she stood stunned for a moment.
She sized me up, her gaze lingering longer on Fire-Toothed Dog and Xiao Xunbao, before saying with disbelief, “Qiao Sang?”
“Auntie, it’s me. My mom sent me to deliver some stuff,” said Qiao Sang.
“Come in, come in. You’ve grown up so much, Auntie almost didn’t recognize you,” Aunt Wang hurriedly invited her in.
Qiao Sang remembered her baby fat and flat chest as she looked at herself in the full-length mirror that morning.
A grown girl?
No.
She was still a young girl…
“Auntie, this is what my mom asked me to bring for you.” After sitting on the sofa, Qiao Sang winked at Xiao Xunbao.
Xiao Xunbao sensibly took out the local products from the ring.
“Your mom, really, making you come over and bring things, why so formal?” Aunt Wang said with a smile.
She got up to pour two cups of tea and set them on the coffee table, ready to have a long chat.
“I heard from your mom that you got into Shengshui Middle School?” asked Aunt Wang.
“Mhm,” Qiao Sang replied.
“I also heard from your mom that you just graduated and participated in a competition, where you came in first,” Aunt Wang probed.
“Mhm,” Qiao Sang wasn’t at all surprised that her mother had said these things.
It turns out what Xiang Ting said was all true…
She had just questioned her yesterday via phone and now her daughter was here to prove her wrong…
Aunt Wang suddenly felt that her own son, whom she was so proud of, wasn’t that impressive anymore.
“What do you usually eat?” Aunt Wang suddenly asked.
“Ah? Whatever my mom cooks, I eat,” Qiao Sang replied after a brief pause.
It seems I’ll need to ask Xiang Ting for the recipes…
Then I’ll have to listen to her bragging for a long time…
“What’s your daily routine like?” continued Aunt Wang.
Qiao Sang was a little puzzled, as the questions sounded like those a doctor would ask a patient…
Before Qiao Sang could answer, Aunt Wang shifted to several other questions in quick succession.
“Did you attend any tutoring classes in your ninth grade?”
“What does Fire-Toothed Dog normally eat?”
“How do you usually get along with Fire-Toothed Dog?”
“Initially, my son also wanted to make a contract with a Fire Attribute Beast, but I rejected the idea. What do you think about him contracting with a Fire Element Beast as his second choice?”
Qiao Sang: “…”
She understood, this was an interview.
Politely declining Aunt Wang’s invitation to stay for dinner, Qiao Sang left and immediately called her mother to report that she had completed the task.
Her mother was very pleased.
…
Qiao Sang rode back to the old house, with Fire-Toothed Dog still leisurely holding milk and drinking.
“Qi Yuan Milk can restore a Pet Beast’s stamina, but the effect isn’t instantaneous.”
The Fire-Toothed Dog drank several bottles and hadn’t recovered to its peak condition.
Now that there was too much free time, if she were to train during the same time frame as she did in Hangkang, it would be a huge waste of the summer vacation.
Qiao Sang quickly came up with an idea.
As someone possessing several hundred thousand in substantial funds, she returned to her room and immediately ordered 30 bottles of F-rank Energy Recovery Potion online.
F-rank Energy Recovery Potions correspond to recovering the energy of low-level Pet Beasts.
People living in the city normally don’t need to purchase Energy Recovery Potions, as they can just let their Pet Beasts recover slowly on their own.
In the case of competitions, the organizers provide a special supply, treatments, and so on, so Beast Tamers don’t need to buy them themselves.
Most of the group that does purchase Energy Recovery Potions are Beast Tamers heading to the Secret Realm.
Those who can go to the Secret Realm wouldn’t casually summon low-level Pet Beasts because they’re virtually useless there.
This leads to F-rank Energy Recovery Potions having a significantly lower sales volume and price compared to other ranks of Energy Recovery Potions.
Even so, an F-rank Energy Recovery Potion still costs 2,000 Alliance Currency per bottle.
After all, for Beast Tamers without healing skills in their Pet Beasts, this could be crucial in the Secret Realm.
Girls tend to be unable to stop once they start shopping online, and Qiao Sang was no exception; after buying the F-rank Energy Recovery Potions, she started browsing other products.
Back when she had no money, that was one thing, but now that she had money, she naturally wanted to look more.
Qiao Sang lay in bed scrolling through her phone while Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, floated over and curiously stared at the phone screen.
The phone displayed items needed by Fire Attribute Beasts.
Qiao Sang thought about buying an item that could accelerate the absorption and condensing of Fire Element energy for the Fire-Toothed Dog.
Such items have always been hot commodities in the market.
They can speed up energy absorption, shortening the growth cycle of the Pet Beast, allowing it to evolve faster.
While the Fire-Toothed Dog had the Golden Finger, it wasn’t possible for it to have fights 24 hours a day, and always win.
Having an additional way to absorb energy was naturally good.
Moreover, these items could allow the Pet Beasts to use their corresponding Element skills more quickly.
Although they weren’t allowed in competitions, they would definitely be useful at other times.
After looking for quite some time, Qiao Sang settled on an E-rank Condensing Fire Bead.
There is a large price discrepancy among Pet Beast items.
It depends not only on the item’s rank but also on who made it.
If the item’s creator is a master who could be looked up online, even an F-rank item they made could be more expensive than a D-rank item certified by the Alliance but made by a Beast Forging Master without a notable name.
Qiao Sang specifically chose well-reviewed stores for her purchase.
After chatting with customer service for a while and promising to post beautiful photos and a lengthy positive review, she finally purchased it for 120,000 Alliance Currency.
Even though customer service gave her a discount, she still felt it was too expensive.
If an E-rank item made by an unnamed Beast Forging Master is this price, who could afford the higher-ranked B-rank or A-rank items?
No wonder the wealthier Beast Tamers in this world are more powerful.
For others, buying an item is like playing, but for you, buying one is like betting your life, how can you compete?
Just as Qiao Sang was about to exit the online store and check out other things, a grayish short toe suddenly appeared on her phone screen.
Turning her head, she saw Xiao Xunbao looking at her with watery eyes.
“Xun~”
The Treasure-seeking Ghost called out coquettishly.
Qiao Sang: “…”
“You’re still too young; I’ll buy it for you in a month.”
The Treasure-seeking Ghost blinked, then skillfully removed a ring and handed a bottle of milk to Qiao Sang.
“Xun~”
“Xun Xun.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
