Free Web NovelWhen Mingxi arrived at the snow bus provided by the travel agency, she found that many people were already seated inside.
"Are there really so many tourists going to Icefield Sea?"
Mingxi looked at the quickly filling bus compartment, a bewildered expression on her face.
When she researched the guides, many people clearly said that due to frequent severe weather and a higher incidence of accidents, not many people visited Icefield Sea each year.
So what was going on with this completely full bus?
A burly, kind-faced, and somewhat simple-looking man sat down in the empty seat next to Mingxi.
As soon as he sat down, he looked at Mingxi, flashed a big, bright smile with small canine teeth, and his demeanor was very open and generous.
Snowmelt Flower?
Information quickly flashed through Mingxi's mind.
Snowmelt Flower, a General-level Ice and Grass-attribute Transcendent creature, typically only lives in very cold regions, loves to merge with snowflakes, and constantly absorbs nitrogen ions from the air during the merging process. When it separates from the merger, there is a chance for Nitrogen Grass to grow in its place.
Nitrogen Grass has antioxidant properties and can treat respiratory diseases, among other uses.
Although Nitrogen Grass has many uses, it's not considered a major asset in this interstellar world.
Moreover, the man just now said he was looking for Snowmelt Flower, not Nitrogen Grass, indicating that Snowmelt Flower was his target.
So, the reason why there are so many people going to Icefield Sea today wouldn't happen to be because of the Snowmelt Flower, would it?
A glint flashed in Mingxi's eyes, and she nodded without a hint of guilt: "Yes, it seems you too, Big Brother?"
This man was clearly with the two people sitting in front of them; their clothes and goggles were all the same.
"Hahaha, I knew it. Everyone going to Icefield Sea at this time must have the same purpose."
The simple-looking man's laughter became even more boisterous.
Mingxi also laughed along, "Exactly, otherwise, the tour group probably wouldn't fill this entire bus in a whole year."
Then she feigned a sigh, "Actually, I didn't expect so many people to come. With my small arms and legs, and being a lone wolf, I probably can't compete with others. I'm afraid this trip will be in vain."
"It doesn't matter if you can't compete. Anyway, the client's task is to successfully capture ten Snowmelt Flowers.
It is stipulated that as long as someone among us completes the task, other Beast Tamers who accepted the task will receive corresponding rewards. Although the reward is much less than directly completing the task, it's not a loss."
The canine-toothed man seemed to not notice that Mingxi was probing him for information at all, and he artlessly blurted out the purpose of his trip completely.
So that's how ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) it is.
It seems that the vast majority of people on this bus are Beast Tamers who have accepted a commission from the Beastmaster Association.
The Beastmaster Association, full name the Interstellar Alliance Beastmaster Joint Cooperation Committee, may seem similar to the Interstellar Alliance Beastmaster Management Center.
But in fact, the two are completely different in nature.
The latter is the only officially recognized Beast Tamers management organization in all 32 countries of the Alliance; every Beast Tamers needs to be recognized by the Yushou Center to be called a Beast Tamers.
The former, however, is a civilian organization initiated by Beast Tamers themselves, which, after many years of development and multiple reforms, has gradually become the largest civilian social group in the Interstellar Alliance today.
Beast Tamers adhere to the principle of spontaneity and willingness, considering whether to join the Beastmaster Association based on their own needs.
Simply put, every Beast Tamers must have a registered identity with the Yushou Center, but is not necessarily a member of the Beastmaster Association.
Mingxi had never been to the Haizhou City Beastmaster Association.
It's not that she looked down on the Beastmaster Association; in fact, she was quite interested in it.
Because the Beastmaster Association has a dedicated Mission Hall and Exchange for Beast Tamers, which is the source of income for most Beast Tamers.
Therefore, in many cases, the Beastmaster Association is more lively than the Yushou Center.
Mingxi had long wanted to sell a portion of her wine immortal honey beehive, and the way to do so was through the Beastmaster Association's Exchange.
However, due to being involved in the Wei Yangang case and being too busy recently, she didn't want to be distracted by new things, so she had never been to the Haizhou City branch of the Beastmaster Association.
Now, it was probably time to put it back on the agenda.
Mingxi's eyes darted around, "You're right, Big Brother, a participation prize is still a prize, and even if I get nothing, it's not a wasted trip."
She paused, then deliberately lowered her voice, asking with curiosity, "By the way, Big Brother, do you know why the client issued this task? I always feel this task is a bit strange."
It wasn't that Mingxi was gossiping.
Mainly, in Dragonflower Country, the private capture of wild Transcendent creatures without approval is strictly prohibited.
Yet now, someone was openly issuing such a task at the Beastmaster Association, and for ten at that, which could only mean this matter had received national approval.
But what could a Snowmelt Flower do?
Aside from creating an environment for Nitrogen Grass to grow, it had no other special uses on the surface.
General-level wild Transcendent creatures also cannot be contracted.
Mingxi was just casually asking, not really holding out much hope.
She felt that such a matter should be a secret.
Unexpectedly, the stranger next to her, though appearing simple, was well-informed.
"Little sister, you've asked the right person," the man also deliberately lowered his voice, "I actually know a bit about this."
Mingxi's nimble eyes immediately performed a dazzling entrance.
Then she heard the man say, "You know the client's identity, right?"
Could Mingxi say she didn't know? frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Of course not.
But before she could respond, the open-hearted man had already eagerly started speaking.
"On the surface, the client is the Feng family of Lucheng, but who doesn't know that the Feng family represents the Dragonflower Country Beastmaster Association?"
The Feng family of Lucheng?
Well, she focused on her career and didn't know much about these powers, organizations, or families.
"I heard that the Feng family issued so many tasks this time because the only son of Qiu Sheng, the Vice President of the Dragonflower Country Beastmaster Association, had a problem with 'that thing'."
Mingxi's eyes widened in surprise.
Big Brother, you have information and you really dare to reveal it.
And listening to him, it seemed there were more similar tasks than just the Snowmelt Flower one.
"As everyone knows, pet beasts' healing skills can cure terminal illnesses, but they can't improve 'that' ability."
"Vice President Qiu is the thirteenth generation single heir, and now he only has one son, who hasn't given him a grandson yet. Isn't he anxious and worried?
He heard about a potion formula from somewhere, saying that by collecting the blood of General-level or higher wild Transcendent creatures of the eight major attributes—Water, Fire, Steel, Grass, Ground, Flight, Lightning, and Ice—and making it into a certain functional strengthening potion, it could help 'fake men' regain their vigor and have no more worries."
Mingxi: "..."
"Fake men" was quite apt.
"But there's no need to catch ten at once, is there?"
