Chapter 1039

Qiao Sang was stunned, reached out to take it, opened it, and looked:

【15 points is too little. 18 points, and I'll take this task.】

Qiao Sang glanced at the mechanical claw that was still spread out and hadn't retracted, remembered Fulaoda's words about how few Beast Tamers contract Brain-Regulating Shells, fell silent for a moment, and took a pen and paper from the side:

【That's possible, but why didn't you send me a message directly?】

She finished writing, folded the paper, and placed it on the green mechanical claw.

The green mechanical claw gripped the paper and then retracted.

The screen returned to calm.

Soon, a message came from the background.

Qiao Sang opened it and looked:

【Lei****: I did that to prove that I have a Brain-Regulating Shell pet beast. Since you agreed, please pay half of the points as a deposit first.】

Qiao Sang typed a reply:

【Will you come to me after paying the deposit?】

【Lei****: Why would I go to you?】

【If you don't come to me, how would I know how much of your day you'll spend helping to search?】

This time, the other party didn't reply immediately.

After about a minute, the message from the other side was sent over:

【Lei****: I understand. However, I have something to do; I will have the Brain-Regulating Shell go over and cooperate with you.】

【When?】

【Lei****: After you pay me half of the points, you don't need to send the address; I will have the Brain-Regulating Shell go directly through the device you are currently using to contact me.】

Task postings on the official website of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy can require an advance payment of points as a deposit based on individual circumstances. If the task isn't completed, it will be automatically refunded, so there's no need to worry about being cheated.

Qiao Sang didn't doubt it and paid 9 points to this anonymous account.

At the same time.

In a room filled with various mechanical materials, a man wearing glasses, with bangs almost covering his eyes, was earnestly assembling machinery.

The Brain-Regulating Shell sitting in front of the computer turned its head and called out:

"Guigui."

It had accepted a task and needed to go out for a day.

The man asked without looking up: "How many points?"

"Guigui."

The Brain-Regulating Shell answered honestly.

"You go ahead," the man said.

The Brain-Regulating Shell turned its head and drilled its entire body into the computer screen in front of it.

The computer screen rippled, and a Mechanical-type pet beast, almost entirely green with two mechanical ears on its head, drilled out from it.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao understood through the chat information that the pet beast in front of it was here to help, and sincerely extended two claws.

"Guigui?"

The Brain-Regulating Shell looked at the extended claws, looking confused, and didn't move.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao retracted its claws awkwardly.

Qiao Sang opened the wanted poster of the "Ghost Ring King" and the image of the Clothes-Changing Totem on the computer screen, getting straight to the point:

"The pet beast I want you to find looks like this. You can find either one of them."

"Guigui."

The Brain-Regulating Shell pointed at the computer and called out.

"Xunxun."

Little Xunbao quickly translated that it said it needed a computer.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang immediately got up, gave up her seat, and struck a "please" pose.

The Brain-Regulating Shell came to the seat, extended its claws into the screen, and green rays of light appeared on its arms, while its eyes glowed green.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao floated to its Beast Tamer's side, lowered its voice, and called out, asking if it was searching like this?

Qiao Sang said "Hmm," and said: "Before I posted the task, I specifically searched for information on the Brain-Regulating Shell. Others can see the real scene through places with internet access. Now there is internet everywhere, and it can see wherever there is internet."

Brain-Regulating Shell, a General-tier Mechanical-type pet beast, has no combat ability. Its main function is to view and transmit information. The first three forms can only roam the network with consciousness. Only when it reaches the General-tier form can it reach and see another place through the network.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao looked at the Brain-Regulating Shell with its back to it, showing an expression of "This guy is actually so powerful."

It hadn't inherited too much information about Mechanical-type pet beasts yet.

"Xunxun?" Little Xunbao pondered for a moment and called out.

Then can it search the entire Eagle Country?

Qiao Sang pondered: "If it switches to a few more computers in different areas, it should be possible."

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao's confidence increased instantly. Then it thought of something, took off the ring, took out the energy pills for Like Ya Bao and the others, placed them diligently in front of them one by one, and called out, indicating that they should eat more so they would have energy to fight when they found the bad guy.

"Yaya!"

Like Ya Bao heard this, felt it made sense, and buried its head to start eating in big mouthfuls.

Lubao fell silent for a moment, jumped out of the water tank, and also started eating the energy pills.

"Steel Sword."

Gangbao didn't refuse, and even though it wasn't hungry, it lowered its head and ate two symbolic bites.

"Qingqing?"

Qingbao waited for a long time, and seeing that the last portion of energy pills Little Xunbao took out was for itself to eat, it couldn't help but float over and call out. What about its share?

"Xunxun."

Little Xunbao looked at Qingbao, was stunned for a moment, and then called out earnestly, indicating that you are still young, you can't beat that bad guy, you don't need to do anything, just eat on time when it's mealtime.

Qingbao: "..."

An unusual wind blew in the room for no reason.

Little Xunbao had been with Qingbao for such a long time that it naturally knew that a strong wind meant it was angry, so it quickly took off the ring again, took out Qingbao's exclusive energy pills, grinned, and called out:

"Xunxun~"

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao looked at Little Xunbao's smiling face, and the wind around it disappeared.

The room returned to calm.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief.

How come Qingbao's personality seems to have changed a bit recently? The previous laughter and the wind that just blew—if it were the old Qingbao, that would never have happened... Qiao Sang watched this scene from the side, and a trace of doubt flashed in her heart.

Could it be that the memory inheritance has already caused a certain change in its personality?

"Guigui."

Just as she was thinking, the voice of the Brain-Regulating Shell sounded.

All eyes were immediately focused on it.

"Did you find it?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Guigui." The Brain-Regulating Shell nodded.

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

It found it just like that?

So fast?

"Xunxun!"

Before she could speak, Little Xunbao called out excitedly, asking where it was!

"Guigui."

The Brain-Regulating Shell reported the address.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao's eyes glowed blue, and it immediately wanted to lock onto the location and bring its Beast Tamer and Like Ya Bao and the others over.

"Wait, don't be in a hurry," Qiao Sang said calmly.

"Xunxun..."

The blue light in Little Xunbao's eyes dissipated, and it stopped its movement abruptly.

"Did you see the Ghost Ring King or the Clothes-Changing Totem?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Guigui." The Brain-Regulating Shell called out.

"Xunxun." Little Xunbao translated that it was the Clothes-Changing Totem.

If it saw the Ghost Ring King, it would be 100% the wanted one, but if it saw the Clothes-Changing Totem, that might not be the case... Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said:

"Let's use empathetic positioning first to take a look at that Clothes-Changing Totem."

"Xunxun~"

Little Xunbao didn't question its Beast Tamer's decision, nodded, and then its eyes glowed blue.

Qiao Sang closed her eyes.

The surrounding terrain map was immediately presented in her mind in a 3D mode.

Villas, streets, shops, alleys, and finally the screen stopped at the entrance of a school.

Dozens of pet beasts were standing at the school entrance, seemingly waiting for their children to finish school.

Among them, a pet beast about 50 centimeters tall, wearing a miniature shrinking bracelet, silver-white all over, with a red bow tie around its neck and only one eye, came into view; it was indeed the Clothes-Changing Totem.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao called out excitedly.

Qiao Sang hesitated: "This doesn't seem to be a wild pet beast..."

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao called out, indicating that whether it is or not, we'll know once we catch it.

No, this Clothes-Changing Totem doesn't have Little Xunbao's hair accessory on it... Qiao Sang thought calmly.

For the skill of aura suppression to keep the aura on an item from dissipating, it must be carried close to the body. Little Xunbao's hair accessory has been missing for more than half a year. If the Clothes-Changing Totem still occasionally turns into Little Xunbao's form, this hair accessory couldn't have left its side...

Just as she was thinking, a splash of color attracted her attention.

"Look at the hair accessory worn on this person's head; is it the same as the one you lost last time?" Qiao Sang's gaze landed on a little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes not far from the Clothes-Changing Totem.
