Chapter 240: Tracking Mission

For the next full half month, the training kept repeating itself.

The time wasn't long, but the progress was remarkable.

During this period, Yaobao smoothly trained Fire Fang to the peak of Arcane, and although Shadow Clone wasn't deliberately practiced, every time she trained skills she had to use Shadow Clone, so much so that Shadow Clone also reached the Perfection realm.

Shadow Clone at Perfection realm had a full 35 copies.

This also greatly improved the efficiency of Yaobao's subsequent skill-release training.

After the Fire Fang training ended, thanks to the 35 Shadow Clones and Energy Balls, Yaobao didn't take long to train Flame Charge to Perfection proficiency, and was currently rocketing toward the Arcane realm.

Although Lulu Yana didn't have the golden finger's blessing, through its own diligent training it could already cast Water Jet quite smoothly.

Point and hit — it would never lose control of the direction again.

The one with the biggest progress was Little Xunbao Ghost — on the third day after signing up for the sports meet, it learned Substitute through the virtual helmet, and on the second day after switching the disc, it learned the special move Taunt.

When she learned that Little Xunbao Ghost had learned Taunt in just one night, Qiao Sang's heart trembled.

What did Little Xunbao Ghost learning Taunt so quickly mean?

It meant it had得天獨厚 talent for practicing this move, very gifted!

Qiao Sang could only keep comforting herself in her heart — although Taunt, this kind of mental-attack skill, was quite good at drawing aggro, it was also remarkably effective at disrupting opponents......

Final conclusion: use it sparingly in the future!

With Substitute, Little Xunbao Ghost's progress in practicing Hypnosis greatly improved. The Hypnosis that was already at Mastery level naturally trained up to Perfection, and reaching Arcane was probably just a matter of this week.

Tile Splitting's training also went from not being able to split a single tile at first to being able to split three at once now.

Although it was still far from real Tile Splitting, if not all the pet beasts participating in this event were Fighting-type, Qiao Sang felt Little Xunbao Ghost still had a good chance of competing for second-to-last place.

Qiao Sang put down her pen, finished recalling the recent training results, and realized she herself hadn't made much progress.

Her coursework was keeping up, but studying alongside classmates whose foundations were thicker than her home's foundation, she really didn't feel any sense of improvement.

Others were meditating from early morning to late at night, and she could feel her brain domain increasing bit by bit.

But without a dedicated device to test brain domain, she didn't know how far her brain domain had developed.

With meditation, she did feel her mind had become much clearer lately, especially after that time she learned Little Xunbao Ghost had learned Taunt.

From that day on, as long as there was any movement in the middle of the night, she would be woken up — several times she woke to see Little Xunbao Ghost holding a phone and laughing wildly.

At times like this, she couldn't help but envy Yaobao, who couldn't be woken up no matter what and was still drooling......

Not long after Qiao Sang put down her pen, her phone buzzed on the desk. She picked it up, leaned against the headboard of the bed, and opened it to look.

Someone had @'d her in the group chat.

【Wang Yao: @Qiao Sang, how's your mission going?】

Qiao Sang pursed her lips and replied:

【When would I have time? Homework is killing me】

This was Qiao Sang's second time taking a mission. Thinking about the huge pile of homework she still had every day, she picked an easy one.

Although because of classes the mission deadline had changed from five days to seven, for a Gao Zhongsheng who had to go to school and do homework after coming home every day, it was really hard to find the time.

【Seeing Shi Gaofeng: Why don't you take leave? Every time you do a mission it's a perfectly legitimate excuse to take leave — how could you not seize this kind of opportunity!】

【Wang Yao: Shut up, Qiao Sang isn't you】

Qiao Sang looked at the messages in great shock — there's such a good thing?! She immediately typed and asked:

【Would the homeroom teacher actually approve leave for this kind of reason?】

【Seeing Shi Gaofeng: Hahaha, just hearing you ask, I knew we were kindred spirits!】

【Seeing Shi Gaofeng: Of course the homeroom teacher would approve it, we're on the school team after all】

【Wang Yao recalled a message】

【Seeing Shi Gaofeng: @Wang Yao, if you have the guts to send it, have the guts to not recall it】

【Wang Yao: What I sent, why can't I recall it!】

【Wang Yao: By the way, you've taken leave three days in a row — did you finish the mission?】

【Seeing Shi Gaofeng:......】

Qiao Sang silently closed the group chat.

Taking leave...... Qiao Sang considered the feasibility.

To be honest, she still had quite a lot to do.

She definitely needed to go test her current brain domain development progress. Although it wasn't easy to get custom-made Energy Balls for Lulu Yana, she needed to buy a jar of the universal Energy Balls for Water-type pet beasts.

And the mission......

Thinking of the mission gave Qiao Sang a bit of a headache.

The day she accepted the mission happened to be a weekend. Thinking it would be convenient, she had taken a mission close to home, but when she called the mission publisher, they said they had gone out to play and would be back in two days.

Two days later happened to be Monday when she had school, so the mission got delayed just like that.

If she waited until the weekend, that person would probably go out to play again, and she'd likely get a bad review.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang decisively took out her phone and dialed the vice principal's number.

The next day.

Qiao Sang arrived at the mission location — 68 Jingquan Street.

This place was only three streets away from where Qiao Sang currently lived, even closer than Holy Water Middle School.

The man who opened the door had a head of messy, choppy hair, like someone who had walked out of the darkness and hadn't adjusted to the light, and he squinted his eyes.

He looked at Qiao Sang, who was still wearing her schoolbag, and frowned: "Why are you so young."

"Does your mission have an age restriction?" Qiao Sang asked.

The man was taken aback: "Well, no."

Then why aren't you hurrying to invite me in... Qiao Sang watched him without speaking.

The man came to his senses, scratched his head, and said, "Come on in."

Qiao Sang took off her shoes and walked in. The curtains were drawn inside the house, making it very dim.

The man sat down on the sofa in the living room and asked, "You know about the mission too. How are you planning to handle it?"

Qiao Sang sat to one side and, without thinking, said, "Either beat that person up so they don't dare do it again, or call the police."

This mission—it's simple if you say it's simple, and hard if you say it's hard.

The mission poster said someone was tailing him and he wanted it resolved.

There were no requirements on the pet beast's level or attribute, and it was close to home, so Qiao Sang took it.

The man crossed his legs and said, "I'm a public figure. I can't call the police."

Qiao Sang sized him up carefully and asked, surprised, "You're a celebrity?"

The corner of the man's mouth twitched. "Not exactly."

"Oh," Qiao Sang replied.

Seeing the girl before him react so flatly, the man couldn't help but say, "I'm an internet celebrity."

"Oh."

"I have over a million followers!"

My followers are three times yours... Qiao Sang complained inwardly while saying, "Let's get down to business. Do you know who the person tailing you is?"

"... I don't know," the man answered.

"How did you find out someone was tailing you?" Qiao Sang asked.

"The moment I stepped out the door, I felt it—someone was following me the whole time from behind." The man paused, then said, "Although I didn't see them, I trust my intuition. The feeling was very strong."

Bold, aren't you—knowing someone's been tailing you and still going out to play the past two days...

"How long have you had this feeling?" Qiao Sang asked.

The man thought for a moment. "About a week, I guess."

"Got it." Qiao Sang stood up and said, "Then let's head out now."

The man was taken aback. "Head out? What for?"

Qiao Sang said helplessly, "If you don't go out, how is anyone supposed to tail you, and how am I supposed to catch them?"

The moment the words fell, a knock—knock—knock—came from outside the door: "Hello, is anyone home? I'm here for the mission."

Qiao Sang: "???"
