Chapter 29 Chapter 29 "I am a first-class animal psychologist...

Combat classes without spirit pets are boring, especially for someone like her whose contracted pet is still asleep.

On the huge training ground, there were no longer the spirit pets galloping and leaping, performing their skills, and their neighing. All that was left were the boring physical training of the human trainees and the muffled sound of equipment colliding. The air seemed to be frozen, so dull that it was hard to breathe.

After finishing the heavy physical training, Jiang Qing, as usual, found a corner with the densest shade and slid down to sit down against the rough tree trunk.

She raised her hand to wipe the beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, her fingertips wet with fatigue, and her eyes habitually turned to the few people who were still persisting under the scorching sun.

Under the scorching sun, everyone's head was covered with a layer of oil.

The air was distorted by the heat wave, and everywhere in sight was filled with swaying shadows.

The smell of scorched soil and parched grass was carried by layer upon layer of surging heat waves and brought to Jiang Qing's nose.

The smell wasn't fresh, but rather had a dry, dusty, burning quality.

After about half an hour, the number of students on the grass visibly decreased one by one, and they all walked under the shade of the trees.

No one knew what Shen Zhien and the other two teachers were doing today. After assigning free practice tasks to everyone, they gave some instructions to the class monitor Zuo Ye and left together.

The temperature was incredibly high today. Zuo Ye initially made a few remarks, but then someone else retorted, "We're just avoiding the shade, not skipping training."

Zuo Ye thought about it and realized that it made sense. Looking at the sunburned faces filled with fatigue and pleading, and then at the almost distorted air in the open space, his tense brows relaxed.

Soon, on the huge training ground, only a few extremely stubborn or physically exceptional figures were still holding on, like isolated islands in the heat wave.

Jiang Qing was not interested in watching, so he simply closed his eyes and felt calm.

Unfortunately, the hot air is suffocating and the effect is minimal.

After a while, she felt the grass beside her sink slightly, and someone sat down next to her.

Jiang Qing lazily opened his eyelids and saw that Zhao Peng had moved over at some point and was drinking water in big gulps, with beads of sweat dripping down his angular jawline.

"Strange, you have also learned to be lazy?" Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows, his tone a little surprised.

Zhao Peng is definitely the epitome of hard work. He almost never slacks off in any training. Just now, everyone ran under the tree to rest under the excuse of hiding from the shade, while Zhao Peng was still training under the scorching sun.

"It's not that I want to rest." Zhao Peng put down the kettle and wiped his face, a rare trace of irritation and confusion between his brows. "It's that Tiejia refused to work. I was training Tiejia just now, and suddenly it refused to listen to any instructions. I had no choice but to stop."

"Let me see." Jiang Qing sat up straight

Zhao Peng looked her up and down, his eyes and tone full of doubt: "Can you see?"

"Of course." Jiang Qing nodded, "I'm a first-class animal psychologist."

The kind with a certificate.

Although animals and beasts sound different, she has studied the biological principles of both and they are essentially the same.

So she is flexible and adaptable, and she is also a first-level spirit animal psychological counselor.

Zhao Peng was still suspicious: "Were you tricked into taking some kind of field test?"

I've never heard of animal psychological counseling.

He explained, "After a spirit beast and its tamer establish a contractual relationship, the tamer can naturally sense the beast's emotional changes through the seal of the contract. This is similar to what you call psychological therapy. Therefore, regular hospitals and formal institutions will not set up any spirit beast psychological counseling. You must have been ripped off. Hurry and get your money back."

Jiang Qing: “…”

Jiang Qing: "You don't believe it?"

Although Zhao Peng said he didn't believe it, but seeing Jiang Qing's look of "I am very experienced", and the fact that the Iron Bull was lying on the ground uncharacteristically, digging the soil with its hooves in annoyance, and his eyes were a little vague, he hesitated for a moment and finally called the Iron Bull back.

The huge body of the Iron-Armored Bull occupied a large area under the shade of the tree. It lowered its head, and thick white air came out of its nostrils, making it look listless.

The light armor that was originally covered with a cold metallic luster now seemed to be a little dim.

It didn't even rub against Zhao Peng affectionately as it usually did when it appeared, but just wagged its tail irritably.

"Look, here you go, a first-class animal psychologist." Zhao Peng crossed his arms, his tone filled with a hint of helplessness and a subtle hint of anticipation. "It's been like this ever since then."

Jiang Qing stood up and walked around the armored bull twice.

She did not approach rashly, but observed its condition carefully: its eyes were unfocused, its breathing was slightly rapid, its body was slightly tense, and its hooves were paddling the ground restlessly.

This condition...is more like heatstroke than illness.

Jiang Qing slowly placed his hand on the Iron-Armored Bull's forehead, wanting to touch its big head.

But the moment his hand touched it, Jiang Qing suddenly had a strange feeling, a feeling he had never had before.

She carefully identified that Zhu Tianba was still unconscious in the Seal of Contract, so the strange feeling did not come from it.

She felt as if she was scalded and quickly pulled her hand away from the armored bull's head. The next second, the feeling stopped instantly like a broken string.

Realizing that the feeling just now might have come from the armored bull in front of her, she put her hand on its forehead again.

"How is it? Jiangda psychological counselor. Have you figured out anything?" Zhao Peng walked around with his arms folded.

"Wait, stop making noise." Jiang Qing was busy feeling the strange energy fluctuations and had no time to deal with Zhao Peng.

Seeing her like this, it seemed that she really had some skills, so Zhao Peng quietly waited for news.

There were many classmates sitting under the shade of the tree. The movement of the two attracted a group of onlookers. Everyone also wanted to see how Jiang Qing would provide psychological counseling to Iron Armored Bull.

Jiang Qing was immersed in the connection with that strange energy. She felt that there was a group of light spots swimming in a regular pattern in her sea of ​​consciousness. As soon as her spirit entered, those light spots automatically floated towards her. Feeling that the light spots wanted to get close to her spirit, Jiang Qing did not hesitate and took the initiative to move forward.

There is a huge amount of information hidden in the moving light spots. It feels the same as the exchange in the contract between Xingwenlan and Zhu Tianba.

She closed her eyes and felt it carefully.

Even though there were no words, she could still understand the meaning.

"Iron Armor, is this your idea?" Jiang Qing's spirit asked the light spots back.

After she asked, spots of light suddenly surrounded her. She waved her hand again and made a judgment in her heart.

Jiang Qing withdrew his hand from Tiejia and said to Zhao Peng, who had been waiting for a long time, "It said it was thirsty. It's too hot, and you didn't give it water and kept training it. It felt uncomfortable, so it went on strike."

"?" Zhao Peng's features were squeezed together, his eyes showing surprise and suspicion. "Do you really understand? Or are you just talking nonsense?"

The students watching nearby also chuckled sarcastically: "It's so hot, anyone with eyes knows you need to drink water, but you're still seeking psychological counseling?"

"And I said it was from the sun?"

"Zhao Peng wouldn't really believe it, would he?"

“…”

Everyone around was talking at once, but Zhao Peng remained silent.

"It also said that you didn't understand its hints." Jiang Qing looked at Zhao Peng without changing his expression and continued.

Zhao Peng: “…” He seemed to have… forgotten to give Tiejia water.

He thought Tiejia was tired and didn't want to train anymore, so he kept persuading it to persevere and rest after this class.

Seeing that he hadn't taken any action for a long time, Jiang Qing poured some water from his kettle and fed it to the bull beside him: "Give it some water and try it. You'll know whether what I said is true or not soon."

"Drink, Tiejia." Jiang Qing said while comforting it.

She could understand the words of the spirit beast, which even she found incredible.

This was also the first time she felt the thoughts of spirit beasts other than Zhu Tianba. She didn't know whether this ability was innate or acquired for some reason.

After all, she had never touched any other spiritual beasts except Zhu Tianba and the sow before, and she had not even touched Li Xiu's rabbit.

After Tiejia came into contact with the water fed by Jiang Qing, he no longer stood there stiffly, but began to drink it in big gulps.

It drank up Jiang Qing's bottle of water.

At this time, Zhao Peng had already believed Jiang Qing's words and her psychological counseling ability.

"It's been thirsty for too long and has some signs of heatstroke. Mix some energy supplements with water and give it some. Let it rest for a while and it should be fine."

"Okay." Zhao Peng agreed readily, and turned to Tiejia with a look of guilt in his eyes. "I'm sorry, Tiejia, I don't understand you well enough."

After drinking the water, Tiejia's condition was indeed a little better than before.

Seeing this, the students around him shut up, but they still doubted whether Jiang Qing really knew it or not.

Until a female classmate walked towards Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the person in front of him. It seemed that... his name was "Duo" and his spirit pet was a brown bear.

"Who are you......"

"Ah, Song Shiduo." She quickly gave her name. "Classmate Jiang Qing, I just saw you treating Zhao Peng's armor. I also want you to help me see what's wrong with my Xiong Zaizai. He seems a little listless."

As she said that, she released her own giant bear.

The brown fluffy girl was wearing a pink little skirt, and the two tufts of hair on the sides of her ears were tied into small braids.

"No? How come someone actually asked her for help with medical treatment?" Someone was immediately shocked.

Jiang Qing ignored the man and his gaze fell on Xiong Zaizai. The bear had a depressed look in his eyes, and his entire face was filled with sadness and inferiority. It was obvious that there was something wrong.

Jiang Qing's occupational disease took effect. He stood up straight and circled around Xiong Zaizai several times, looking up and down without missing a single corner.

Xiong Zaizai was different from Tiejia. There were no obvious injuries on his body, and he was not in any pain.

Jiang Qing's palm gently pressed against the bear's thick, brown fur-covered back.

Almost at the moment of contact, that strange sense of connection emerged again, clearer than when touching the Armored Bull.

Her consciousness seemed to sink into a warm and slightly aggrieved "furry" ocean.

Countless tiny points of light gathered in the sea of ​​consciousness again, conveying complex emotions that Jiang Qing could instinctively understand: frustration, shame, humiliation, and a deep sense of powerlessness.

These emotions entangled her like fine fluff.

Jiang Qing closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and listened attentively to Xiong Zaizai's silent confession.

The discussions around gradually died down, and the students watched this magical scene with bated breath.

Song Shiduo twisted her fingers nervously and looked at Jiang Qing eagerly.

After a moment, Jiang Qing slowly opened his eyes, withdrew his hand, and had a strange expression on his face.

"How is it?" Song Shiduo asked anxiously, "What happened to it? Is it too tired from training? Or is it too hot?"

Jiang Qing's complicated gaze fell on the two pigtails with pink bows on Xiong Zaizai's ears, and then swept across the pink skirt on her body that was obviously not in line with her beastly temperament.

The bear felt her gaze and lowered his huge head in shame, letting out a low whimper from his throat.

"Ms. Song." Jiang Qing pointed at the skirt Xiong Zaizai was wearing and said, "She said she doesn't like wearing skirts, especially pink ones. She thinks this skirt completely ruins her temperament. She's a tomboy, and if she dresses up in pink, she'll be laughed at by other beasts, and she might even feel a little inferior."

The bear nodded its big furry head vigorously.

Song Shiduo blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment: "I know, I'll help it take off this skirt when I get back."

She only considered what she liked, but never asked Xiong Zaizai's opinion.

"Thank you, Jiang Qing." Song Shiduo thanked him sincerely and took Xiong Zaizai to the side.

Only then did Jiang Qing understand why a spiritual pet like Director Bird was one in a million.

Even if the beastmaster can establish communication with his spirit pet, everyone's understanding is biased. Not everyone can understand what their spirit pet is saying, and not all spirit pets can speak.

After Song Shiduo left, several classmates came over to Jiang Qing one after another, all asking her to help look after their spirit pets.

"Line up, line up." Zhao Peng looked at the crowd coming over and took the initiative to maintain order.

Everyone stood in long rows.

Jiang Qing was also very happy to "help" her classmates. She found that the feeling of directly "communicating" with spirit beasts was both novel and pleasant, as if it had opened the door to a new world.

Unlike the vague emotional transmission of the Seal of Contract, the information flow brought by this touch is clearer and more specific, allowing her to truly "hear" the voices of the spirit beasts.

The first tinder mouse said, "The training suit is too thick. Change it. It says it's too hot."

The second vine flower demon said, "It said you always expose it to the sun, and it doesn't like it. Its leaves wilt and become ugly. It wants to train at night."

The third rock pangolin said, "The mud on the training ground is too soft, and its claws are itchy and it wants to sharpen them."

The fourth cheese duck said, "You always feed it cheese, it doesn't like it. Don't feed it next time. It prefers carrots."

“…”

Jiang Qing patiently translated these "voices" to their owners.

Some students who were skeptical at first, however, saw with their own eyes that after Jiang Qing's "diagnosis" of their spirit beasts, their owners made corresponding adjustments, and the spirit beasts' conditions improved significantly or their emotions became positive. Their doubts gradually turned into amazement and admiration.

Zhao Peng helped maintain order with a proud smile on his face.

"Next." Jiang Qing finally called out the number like a machine. "What's your question?"

"Student Jiang Qing, could you please help me take a look at my Black Tortoise? Why doesn't it like to move?" he asked.

Jiang Qing climbed onto the turtle's shell, felt it carefully, and then said, "...Your turtle is simply too lazy to move."

After getting the answer, the boy's mouth twitched, but he still politely thanked Jiang Qing and left with the Black Tortoise in his arms.

The line was gradually shortening. Jiang Qing rubbed his sore arms and watched the last classmate leave with an expression of sudden enlightenment. A sense of accomplishment inexplicably surged in his heart.

This ability to directly "hear" the thoughts of spirit beasts is far more interesting and practical than she imagined.

This was the first time she saw spirit animals as independent and thoughtful individuals, rather than pets attached to humans.

Each spirit beast has its own personality, and is different from others. They have happy and sad moments, and they also express their own wild and imaginative ideas.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qing was looking forward to Zhu Tianba's ideas.

But now it was in a coma and no connection could be established. No matter how much she was itching to get it to wake up, she could only wait.

After today, half of the students in the class had a significantly changed opinion of Jiang Qing.

"Okay, Jiang Qing." Zhao Peng patted her shoulder vigorously, his eyes showing a little more admiration. "Real people don't show their true colors. If Tiejia has any psychological problems in the future, I will come to you first!"

"I'll charge you next time." Jiang Qing stretched out a hand.

"No problem!" Zhao Peng agreed generously.

He knew that Jiang Qing had no money, but he had money.

The two were chatting and laughing when the bell rang.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Peng, Jiang Qing sent a message to Yuan Xiaogu and went to the Spirit Beast Breeding Center alone.

Ever since he bought more than 6,000 yuan worth of things last time, Yuan Xiaogu added her contact information.

When Jiang Qing arrived at the training center, Yuan Xiaogu had been waiting there for a long time.

"Junior, what do you want to buy this time?" Yuan Xiaogu said with a smile.

Jiang Qing: "The clothes of the spirit pet."

Yuan Xiaogu paused. He remembered that his schoolmate had just bought a lot of clothes a few days ago.

His thoughts raced, and he asked, "Is the spirit beast growing too fast?"

Jiang Qing nodded.

Yuan Xiaogu: "Then I don't recommend you buy the clothes here. According to the growth rate of your pet, I believe it will need to be replaced in less than a week. It would be a waste of money if you buy it."

Jiang Qing looked at him seriously when he heard this: "What do you recommend?"

Yuan Xiaogu was indeed an all-knowing man. He took Jiang Qing for a walk of more than ten minutes and entered a beast-taming technology store.

"The clothes in this store are made of a special material that can expand and contract with the size of the spirit beast. They are dirt-proof and heat-insulating, and the fabric is also very light and thin," said Yuan Xiaogu.

Jiang Qing carefully felt the clothes in his hand. The whole clothes were platinum in color and painted with auspicious cloud patterns. Both in terms of aesthetics and quality, they were indeed much better than those in the Spirit Beast Breeding Center.

"Okay, this one." Jiang Qing immediately made the decision.

Yuan Xiaogu's face lit up with joy, and he immediately took out a payment device: "Just scan here, the total is 6800."

“??? How much?” Jiang Qing asked sharply.

Yuan Xiaogu repeated: "6800, junior sister."

Jiang Qing's vision went dark in an instant.

Yuan Xiaogu: "This is after the conversion. After all, it's high-tech. This piece of clothing can be worn for a long time. Just think about how much money you can save in the future."

Jiang Qing remained unmoved.

That’s not 6800.

"Well, I'll give you an additional friendship discount, 5984, the lowest price." Yuan Xiaogu said.

After a long negotiation, Jiang Qing finally bought this high-tech stretch clothing for 5,500 yuan.

I went home and put it on Zhu Tianba, and the size was just right.

Jiang Qing felt that this time no one would think her taste was bad anymore.

At night, Jiang Qing was lying in bed when her spiritual channel suddenly vibrated and an unexpected person called her.

It’s Lin Qingzhou.

Jiang Qing then remembered that he would have another class in the Department of Therapy tomorrow.

Why did Lin Qingzhou look for her so late?

Jiang Qing accepted the other party's friend message.

As soon as the notification sound of the friend request being approved faded, Lin Qingzhou's message popped up. It was concise, just like her style: "Tomorrow's treatment class, bring your Firefly Pu."

Jiang Qing stared at the screen for two seconds, his fingertips hovering over the input box.

She thought the other party would say something else, but unexpectedly it was just a dry reminder.

"I understand." She replied straightforwardly, but there was a hint of doubt in her heart.

Lin Qingzhou has never been a nosy person. The requirements of the treatment course have long been clearly written on the schedule. She sent a message in the middle of the night, it can't be just because she was worried that she would forget something.

Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Qingzhou's second message came: "Please bring a copy for me too, thank you."

Immediately afterwards, she received a transfer message.

Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows and gave the other party an "Ok" gesture in return.

"Qingqing, what are you looking at?" Li Xiu came closer to her.

Jiang Qing showed her the news.

Li Xiu immediately looked at her curiously: "You also know the legendary darling of heaven?"

Jiang Qing then remembered that she seemed not to have told Li Xiu that she was the one who issued the task last time.

"Classmate Lin Qingzhou seems to be always busy. She is rarely seen in school," Jiang Qing said.

Lin Qingzhou's account on the Beastmaster Forum has reached level seven. He either frequently accepts tasks or frequently sends tasks, so the account's activity level is so high.

Jiang Qing naturally knew that she was not short of money.

"Come to think of it, classmate Lin is a little bit pitiful." Li Xiu sighed.

Jiang Qing smelled gossip.

Li Xiu said slowly, "Lin Qingzhou has a childhood sweetheart, a fiancé in our major, and they have a very good relationship. However, her fiancé's health is not very good. It seems that his condition is congenital, and he has been sick since his mother's womb. He often takes leave and doesn't come to class. Lin Qingzhou is always by his side. I heard that Lin Qingzhou could have chosen to go to the combat department, but chose treatment for him. She wants to research a medicine that can cure her fiancé."

Jiang Qing sensed something was amiss: "Isn't the choice of major determined by the Spirit Beast Arena? Why can I choose here with Lin Qingzhou?"

At that time, she wanted to go to the Department of Therapy, but after battling with the academic affairs teacher for a long time, she barely managed to get the opportunity to minor.

Li Xiu: "Because the Spirit Beast Platform gave her two choices. Her Spirit Beast's attributes could be more healing or more offensive. In the end, she chose healing."

Jiang Qing said "Oh" indifferently.

The figure automatically appeared in her mind, and she said to herself, "What kind of person is worthy of Lin Qingzhou?"

Li Xiu shook her head: "He and I are not in the same class, and he rarely comes to class. I haven't seen him."

"But..." Li Xiu changed the subject, "I heard that the one he contracted was also a fairy-level spirit beast, although there is some connection between his family and Lin Qingzhou."

Auxiliary department, a freshman, and also contracted a fairy-level spirit beast.

Jiang Qing immediately knew who this person was.
