She pressed the speaker button.
A deep male voice ca through:
"I am Lei Da."
Qiao Sang was silent.
Gangbao was silent too, flapping its wings as it turned and left the room.
This na sounds so casual, like it was chosen by a pet beast... Qiao Sang resisted the urge to mock, turned off the speaker, placed the phone to her ear, and asked, "May I ask when you can co over?"
"I can co over anyti." The deep voice said, "But before I co over, I want to negotiate a change in the reward."
"What do you want?" Qiao Sang asked.
The reward she had posted for the task was 100,000 Alliance Currency per day.
Fla Sky Star is sunny year-round, rarely experiencing rain or thunderstorms. Thus, Beast Tars and pet beasts capable of manipulating weather like rain, snow, or thunder are valued highly, and changing the weather even once requires a substantial reward. However, Qiao Sang had added an extra 10,000-20,000 Alliance Currency to the common rate to ensure a Beast Tar or pet beast would take the task more quickly.
"I’ve actually noticed you before, you’re quite famous in the curse purification circle." The man said, "I’d like you to help purify a curse."
Saying this, he laughed bitterly, "I’ve privately ssaged you before, but unfortunately, you didn’t reply."
When Beast Tars take on tasks, details such as their success rate, completed assignnts, and others’ evaluations are accessible through the official Beast Taming Center software, unless privacy settings are applied.
So he had noticed before, no wonder he accepted the task so quickly... Qiao Sang asked, "What curse?"
Over the past few days of practice, Yaobao has successfully mastered both the Purification Curse and attack abilities, able to perform them separately without errors.
"Aging Curse." The man said gravely, "My pet beast has been afflicted with an Aging Curse; each day I can visibly see it growing older by a few years. If possible, I hope you can provide the reward first. No matter how many days of thunderstorm weather you need, I will do my best to make it happen for you."
The Aging Curse is one of the more malevolent types among the Spectral Series of curses, causing the afflicted target to visibly age daily, and eventually die from old age.
Qiao Sang recalled seeing such a curse while looking for Purification Curse type tasks before but felt it too evil and difficult to attempt.
She pondered for a mont, then frankly said, "I can’t guarantee successful purification."
After all, Yaobao hasn’t purified sothing this malevolent before.
"It’s okay, you’re the Beast Tar with the highest success rate I’ve seen." The man quickly said, "As long as you attempt the purification, regardless of success, I’ll fulfill your task."
"Alright, co over now." Qiao Sang provided the address of her villa.
"I’ll head right over now." The man said and hung up.
"Ding Dong~"
Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.
Qiao Sang, waiting in the living room, stood up to open the door.
A man who appeared around fifty and a yellow bird pet beast with sparse feathers, wearing a Mini Shrinking Bracelet, stood at the door.
Thunderstorm Bird, a King-level Pet Beast with both Electric-type and Flight Type attributes, favors thunderstorm weather but Fla Sky Star hardly has such weather, often leaving them in low spirits. However, they often create thunderstorm weather themselves to rejuvenate; if you encounter thunderstorm weather, it’s not necessarily natural but possibly a Thunderstorm Bird nearby... this info flashed in Qiao Sang’s mind looking at the yellow bird pet beast before her.
"Hello, I am Lei Da." The man introduced himself.
"Leilei." The Thunderstorm Bird also chirped.
Its voice sounded very old.
"Is the Thunderstorm Bird afflicted with an Aging Curse?" Qiao Sang asked.
Most bird pet beasts don’t show age in their faces, but so show it as their feathers thin.
The man heavily affird, "Yes, it’s been cursed for a week now. In this ti, I’ve consulted many Beast Tars and pet beasts specializing in curse removals but none could lift the curse."
Despite the girl looking only in her teens, he didn’t underestimate her, knowing from the Beast Taming Center software that she was a B-level expert.
"Co in please." Qiao Sang stepped aside.
The man and Thunderstorm Bird entered the living room.
Before they sat on the sofa, Yaobao walked in, calling out:
"Ya Ya?"
Who needs purification?
After the task acceptance, Qiao Sang had discussed the purification matter with Yaobao.
