After coming out of the assessment office, Qiao Sang went to the Beast Control Hall to meet Teacher Michaela.
"Have you completed the mission?" Michaela asked.
Qiao Sang said "Yes": "It is said that the flowers that fell on the ground over there on Cuxian Street have not been absorbed for a while. Let me solve this problem."
"Is there something wrong with the scent ants over there?" Michaela guessed.
Qiao Sang immediately expressed his admiration: "Teacher, you know all this!"
During the conversation, the two of them had already walked out of the beast control center.
Michaela smiled and said: "When I was in the air, I saw a lot of scent-eating ants below absorbing flower petals. They all wore work badges. I think they are responsible for this aspect of work."
As she spoke, she gestured with her eyes: "Look, there are two scent ants there."
Qiao Sang followed her line of sight and saw two ant-like beasts about 20 centimeters in size, with khaki bodies, green circles all over them, sharp tube-like mouths, and work tags hanging around their necks.
Sucking petals from the ground.
A voice with the same tone as Little Treasure Hunt sounded next to him:
[Let’s see, scent-eating ants are the primary pets of the ground type. They like to eat anything that smells delicious. The more fragrant plants they eat in the primary stage, the more likely they will evolve into grass and ground types in the intermediate stage.
Herbivorous ants with dual attributes are not very smart, so they are sometimes attracted to fragrant pets and suck them as food. Also, because they are not strong enough, they are often beaten up.】
[Master, I don’t understand such a weak and stupid pet beast...]
The little treasure hunt was quickly closed, and the sound of the pet identifier stopped abruptly.
Qiao Sang glanced at Little Xunbao with relief, and said in his heart, you know you can't listen to the second half.
"Xunxun..."
Little Xunbao didn't notice the look in his beast master's eyes, and was focused on putting the pet identifier back into the ring.
"Where are we going?" Qiao Sang asked, remembering his current purpose.
"Cuxian Street." Michaela said.
Isn't this the place where I do the mission... Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, and then he was moved and said: "Teacher, we agreed to go shopping and just go shopping. There is no need to go to the place where I do the mission."
Michaela was also stunned for a moment: "I just saw this street in the places everyone recommended to visit."
Qiao Sang: "..."
Bai was moved...
Michaela continued: "As promised, just take a stroll and don't think about the mission."
Qiao Sang: "...I understand."
…
Flower Street.
One of the famous landscapes in Huatian City, it is about two kilometers long. In addition to the petals of various colors always floating down from the sky, the streets are also filled with various rare flower trees that cannot be seen elsewhere.
.
Usually some flying and grass-type pets like to come here to play.
There was a famous movie shot here in the Hollow Area.
It is said that a flying type beast and a grass type pet fell in love at first sight here, and because their respective beastmasters were just passing by here for tourism, they parted ways quickly. The two beasts were unhappy. Sixty years later, one of them
When the master of the flying beast passed away, it thought of this place, so it crossed the sea, and it took nearly a year to finally return here.
When it passed by the place where it had met the grass-type pet, it found that it saw the shadow of the figure in its mind on a giant grass-type pet.
From spring to winter, day after day, that giant grass-type beast is always there.
When one day, the flying-type pet realized that he was dying, he curiously chatted with this grass-type pet.
After they finished chatting, they discovered that the other person was the pet beast they had been waiting for.
It turns out that the master of the grass-type beasts was gone twenty years ago. Since then, the grass-type beasts have come here specially and have stayed here.
It's just that the two pet beasts have evolved and changed in form. They are no longer what they were when they first met, so neither of them recognized each other.
At the end of the movie, the grass-type pet accompanied the flying-type pet through the final stage and left here.
After the movie came out, Cuhua Street became a famous tourist attraction.
Many people choose this place to propose and confess their love.
When Qiao Sang came here, he saw almost all the people walking on the road were couples.
The petals on the ground were covered almost to the ankle level.
Some street singers and performers nearby brought their pet animals to perform.
Set off by BGM and the environment, the whole street is filled with an atmosphere of waste.
"Xunxun!"
Little Treasure Hunt happily shuttled among the flowers and trees.
The sudden wind blew up piles of petals on the ground.
It's quite beautiful here... Qiao Sang couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and took a photo of the scene in front of him.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the front:
"My dear, marry me!"
The singers and performers on the street suddenly accelerated the rhythm of the music.
People around watched and cheered.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to go up and watch the excitement, she suddenly felt that Qingbao was also heading in that direction.
A gust of wind blew up, blowing the flowers on the ground onto the bodies of the hero and heroine.
It was supposed to be a romantic scene, but after the top petals on the ground, there were petals that had been piled up for several days.
Withered petals and untimely odor make the romantic atmosphere disappear instantly.
The smile that was already overflowing on the heroine's face suddenly froze and became forced. She said, "Let's talk about it next time." Then she turned and left, ending the proposal.
Seeing that there was no fun to be seen, the people around them also left one after another.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao's slightly emotional voice sounded next to him.
I didn't expect it would turn out like this...
Qiao Sang hesitated and said: "Is that you that gust of wind just now?"
"Qingqing."
Qingbao nodded.
Qiao Sang felt sympathy for the proposing actor for 0.1 seconds.
At this time, Michaela said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you refuse, in such an environment, agreeing may be just a temporary hothead."
Qiao Sang suddenly thought of a question:
"Teacher, are you married?"
"It's over."
"That……"
"Dead."
Qiao Sang stopped talking.
"He is really dead." Michaela said solemnly: "When you become strong enough, you have to accept that people around you have passed away one after another. The only ones who can always stay with you are pet beasts."
The topic suddenly became so heavy... Qiao Sang's eyes quickly scanned the environment in front of him, trying to find a good point to change the topic.
Soon, her eyes fell on a passing pet beast, her eyes lit up and she said:
"It's an ant!"
Michaela followed his gaze.
"This scent ant has a work tag hanging around its neck. Could it be that it is the scent ant responsible for cleaning flower petals on this street?" Before Michaela could answer, Qiao Sang continued:
"Teacher, wait a minute, I'm going to ask and I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, he quickly walked towards the location of the scent-eating ants.
Michaela's original thoughts suddenly stopped.
I promised not to think about the mission...
"Hello, I would like to ask if you are responsible for cleaning up this street?" Qiao Sang came to the ant and squatted down and asked.
"Fragrance." The fragrant ant raised its head, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
There was no need to translate at all. Qiao Sang knew it was it by looking at its nodding action, so he quickly asked:
"I would like to ask why the flower petals on the ground on this street have not been cleaned recently?"
"Fragrant food..."
The fragrant ants raised their legs and left silently.
Qiao Sang grabbed its tail and said, "Wait a minute, you haven't answered my question yet."
"Fragrance!" The fragrant ant was excited and struggled desperately.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang let go of his hand.
“Fragrant food!”
“Fragrant food!”
The scent ant turned its head and complained dissatisfiedly about the behavior of grabbing its tail just now.
"tooth……"
Yabao bared his teeth in the arms of his master.
The sweet-eating ants shut up instantly.
"Sorry." Qiao Sang said, "I just wanted to ask why the petals on this street haven't been cleaned recently."
The fragrant ant didn't want to answer, but it took one look at the scary guy who just bared his teeth, and finally chose to give in.
“Fragrant food.”
Because I don’t want to do it anymore.
"Steel sword."
Gang Bao's translator's voice sounded in my mind.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why don't you want to do it anymore?"
The scent-eating ant was about to speak.
A slightly anxious voice sounded from behind just at this moment:
"Xiaoxiang! Where are you!"
The body of the scent-eating ant froze, then turned around and ran away.
The breakthrough point of the mission was right in front of him. How could Qiao Sang allow it to leave like this? He immediately said:
"Bring it back."
"tooth!"
Yabao's eyes glowed blue.
The next second, the scent-eating ants retreated uncontrollably.
"Fragrant food?"
The fragrant ant looked confused and didn't understand why it was retreating.
"We haven't finished talking yet." Qiao Sang said.
"Fragrant food..."
The fragrant ant understood something and turned its head with a horrified expression.
Suddenly a voice of surprise came from the side:
"Xiaoxiang! So you are here, you scared me to death!"
Qiao Sang turned around and saw a young woman with long black hair who looked to be in her twenties.
The woman walked over quickly and picked up the ants.
The fragrant ants struggled in her arms.
"Hello, is this scent-eating ant yours?" Qiao Sang stood up and asked.
The woman turned her head and her eyes were instantly attracted to Yabao.
She didn't know what she was thinking, her expression was startled and her hands relaxed.
The scent-eating ants took the opportunity to jump out of the arms and escape.
Only then did the woman react, quickly catch up, and shouted anxiously: "Xiaoxiang!"
There seemed to be wind at Qiao Sang's feet, so he followed him easily and asked again: "Is this scent-eating ant yours?"
"No, it belongs to the pet animal base. I am just the responsible breeder." The woman glanced at Yabao and replied while running.
Qiao Sang stopped and said, "Let it come back."
"tooth!"
Yabao's eyes glowed blue.
The scent-eating ants that were running desperately retreated back to Qiao Sang again.
"Fragrant food..."
The sweet-eating ants showed a hopeless expression.
The woman was stunned for a moment, ran back, came to Qiao Sang's side, and said gratefully:
"Thank you!"
Saying that, he picked up the ant.
Qiao Sang said bluntly: "I actually took over a task, and I was responsible for the problem that the flower petals on this street have not been absorbed by scent-eating ants recently. I met you just right. I wonder if you can tell me why?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the scent-eating ants in her arms and sighed:
"Some time ago, the fragrant ants were absorbing flower petals normally on Chuxian Street. That day, a sweet fruit came to the street. Then one of the fragrant ants regarded it as food and wanted to suck it, but was eaten.
, the rest of the sweet-eating ants wanted to go up to help, but Tiantianguo's beast master summoned a pet beast and beat them up."
"It's actually nothing. At most, the scent-eating ants were a little upset. After three days, they finally were willing to work again. As a result, the petals piled up on the street in those days became smelly, and they were unwilling to suck them.
, there is a collective protest now."
She added:
"But don't worry, we will solve this problem soon."
So that’s it, it seems like it’s not a big problem… Qiao Sang asked: “Can I ask how long it will take?”
She conveyed to the other party that the mission would definitely not be passed, and she could only submit the mission after the petals on Cuhua Street were cleaned up.
The woman said in an apologetic tone: "I don't know the specific time, we can only answer and deal with it as soon as possible."
It's over, "deal with it as soon as possible" is the second most false lie in the world... Qiao Sang had a bad feeling in his heart.
For people who deal with things, one or two days is the fastest, and one or two months is also the fastest.
Although this is a tourist attraction and it is unlikely to happen in a month or two, she naturally hopes to solve it the next day if possible.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and asked: "Can you add your contact information? I can help if necessary."
The woman glanced at Yabao and didn't know what she thought of. Her eyes lit up and she quickly took out her mobile phone: "Okay, okay!"
After the two exchanged contact information, Qiao Sang returned to Teacher Michaela and shared in a good mood:
"Teacher, you don't even know that the scent-eating ant I just met is responsible for this street..."
She explained the matter simply.
After hearing this, Michaela glanced at her silently: "Didn't I say that I would just take a good stroll and ignore the mission first?"
Qiao Sang: "..."
"But this is also your style. I think only in this way can you become what you are today." Michaela finished speaking in a rather profound way and laughed: "Let's go, now you can have a good time shopping."
She walked towards the flower room.
Qiao Sang was stunned and quickly followed.
"Xunxun~"
Little Xuntao collected a bunch of flowers of different colors at some point, teleported to his beast master, and held them over as if they were a treasure.
"They're all pretty good-looking." Qiao Sang took one look at them and praised them.
"Xunxun~"
Little Xuntao was so happy that he picked up a flower and put it on the head of his beast master.
He picked up another flower and inserted it into Yabao's head.
"Yaya..."
Yabao took off the flower, looked at it, and then put it back.
"Xunxun~"
Little Xunbao floated to the backpack, called out, and handed over a blue flower.
Lu Bao silently stuck out half of his head and stretched out his paw to take it.
"Xunxun~"
Little Xunbao didn't forget his little brother, so he specially selected a purple flower and floated it next to Gangbao and put it on its feathers.
Gang Bao: "..."
"Qingqing~"
At this time, Qingbao floated over.
However, at this time it was in the state of turning into wind, and its mood was happy again, and the wind was a little faster than usual.
As soon as it came, the flower held in the little treasure hunter's paws was blown away by a gust of wind.
"Xunxun!"
Lao Wu!
"Qingqing!"
It's not intentional!
Qiao Sang couldn't help but smile when he saw little Xunbao chasing the wind in anger.
In fact, sometimes it’s nice to go shopping even if you don’t buy anything.
