The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 71: Traditional Xia Medical Massage


Lin Guang snapped back to reality; he wasn't particularly attached to the jade pendant, but suddenly recalled that Miaomiao also wore a teardrop-shaped Jade Pendant around her neck.

He waved his hand, about to say that he didn't need such a large space and wasn't that concerned about appearance, when suddenly, Fu Fuyou slapped his forehead and flashed an awkward smile, "Oh! I get it! My memory! Wearing such a nice pendant, how can you pretend to be something you're not? Let me check the inventory for Tier One Spatial Spiritual Artifacts for you."

The next moment, an awkward expression flashed across his face, "The Tier One Spatial Spiritual Artifacts on the fourth floor all look pretty flashy, how about... you move to the third floor?"

Lin Guang was fine with that, and the three of them took the elevator to the third floor.

Unluckily, Spatial Spiritual Artifacts have always been highly popular, especially Tier One. Although not cheap, they are a powerful tool for improving life, especially for forgetful people prone to losing things. A single Tier One Spatial Spiritual Artifact is enough to store all those small items that tend to get misplaced—of course, if you manage to lose the artifact itself, then that's a different story—so the unobtrusive pendant styles are already sold out, leaving only the ring styles.

"I'll just mention, you can't store living creatures in these," Fu Fuyou reminded, "unless it's a specially customized one, only Tier Three and above have this feature."

Ultimately, Lin Guang chose a men's ring named "Ring of Void," entirely silver, with a larger azure stone embedded in the center. The exterior ring band was engraved with vine-like patterns, with the recessed parts painted black. The inner space was 3 cubic meters.

From Lin Guang's aesthetic perspective, the ring was a bit flashy, akin to something a mafia boss in a suit might wear, but it was already the most low-key among the remaining ring-style artifacts. The size was just right, and he didn't want to make another trip just for this, so he went ahead and took it.

The cost was 198,765 Daxia Coins, a rather humorous pricing.

The method of using Low Tier Spatial Spiritual Artifacts wasn't complex and didn't involve any anti-theft measures; a stroke of Spiritual Power over it would activate it, allowing one to perceive the internal space, and perform operations to store and retrieve items.

Lin Guang didn't find it difficult at all, and he placed the Skill Crystal inside immediately.

Afterward, Lin Guang moved to the Spiritual Materials Area, intending to buy several sets of Spiritual Materials for Wang Dawei's White Phoenix Parrot. Then he thought that since he'd just caused quite a stir with Hu Tuzhi, buying openly might not be best, so he decided to place an order online later. Fortunately, the Dream Death Mushroom, previously out of stock online, had been replenished, saving Lin Guang a trip to the black market.

The final task was buying books.

A large part of the City Spirit Beast Mall was dedicated to books related to Spirit Beasts. It could pass as a library, and most people would falter before such a vast sea of books, not knowing where to start.

Luckily, buying books didn't require going to any specific area; you just needed to find an automated counter to make a purchase.

Lin Guang already had targets in mind, inputting a string of book titles into the machine for purchase.

Soon, a crate full of books was delivered via conveyor belt.

"What kind of books did you buy?" Vishdair picked up a thick book between her fingers and brought it to her eyes, frowning as if looking at something filthy, "You better not tell me these are for me."

"Of course not; even in four or five years, you probably wouldn't understand these."

Lin Guang rolled his eyes lightly. His biggest "complaint" about contracting Vishdair was her illiteracy (objectively) and her allergy to text.

Vishdair might not be an idiot, but it's sort of hard to believe she isn't.

"Books for yourself? Doesn't your house already have enough? Can't you read on that thing called a phone?"

"Books are never-ending, never enough—and besides, I prefer the feel of paper books."

Lin Guang rubbed his thumb against the Ring of Void, making books in his hand disappear into thin air. If Vishdair recognized some characters, she would see titles like "Traditional Xia Medical Massage," "Modern Spirit Beast Medical Basic Theories," "Anatomical Atlas of Common Spirit Beasts," "The Canon of Acupuncture and Moxibustion," "Pharmaceutical Formulation Techniques," etc., on the book covers.

These books were for preparing for the "Caretaker's" Tier One Talent. Although Lin Guang was uncertain about his luck or when he might draw the desired Talent, it's always wise to be prepared in advance.

In existence, there's no knowledge acquired at birth. Not only must he demonstrate his efforts to those around him, getting them gradually accustomed to his "sudden leaps in progress" due to the system, but he must also genuinely strive to enhance himself as much as possible.

A Spirit Master's Spiritual Power is atypical. With the aid of Meditation Potions, Lin Guang could to some extent replicate those so-called "quantum speed reading" techniques of a past life; hence, claiming insufficient time for study wasn't an excuse.

Under Fu Fuyou's somewhat awkward hint, they exchanged contact information. Lin Guang's purpose for this trip was thus fully, or rather, excessively met. He never expected to 'snag' a Blue Grade Skill Crystal entirely suitable for Vishdair, which happened to be a signature technique of a Nine-Star Spirit Master.

After considering for a bit, Lin Guang decided to take Vishdair to Dr. Kaiwen's training room to attempt learning the skills—she had already programmed access into Lin Guang's student ID a few days earlier—not only was it close to home, but it was also free.

Over an hour later, the two got off the bus at the Integrated Research Center Station. Despite it being Saturday, it was still bustling with people.

He wondered if Dr. Kaiwen and Miaomiao were present... Lin Guang pondered, but didn't message them. Dr. Kaiwen, being a researcher at that level, was undoubtedly busy, and Miaomiao had mentioned working on some project and holding a part-time job. Lin Guang himself needed to focus on helping Vishdair learn skills, everyone was rather busy.

After a while operating on the machine at the entrance, Lin Guang led Vishdair into the training room.

"Eh?"

Sometime later, Vishdair seemed to sense something, straightening up and taking a deep breath, appearing somewhat exhilarated before looking at Lin Guang.

"I've heightened the activity level of some Evil Attribute and Fire Attribute Ether in the training room for you, enhancing your condition," Lin Guang nodded slightly, "Outside, such functions are available only in Intermediate or higher training rooms. Each hour will cost at least a thousand Daxia Coins, so you better work hard."

Upon hearing that, Vishdair showed a more serious expression, who knows what kind of food she thought of for conversion in her little head, but she seemed immediately motivated, "Then let's get moving, no more chatting! What exactly should I do?"
