Chapter 71: Chapter 28: Six-sided Rubik's Cube (Seeking Investment and Follow-up Readers)_2

"Yes," the transporter couldn't help but take another look at Lin Su, "and you are?"

"Hello, my name is Lin Su, and this is my ID card." Lin Su took out his ID card and showed it to the transporter, "Researcher Qin should have notified you in advance, so can I sign for these supplies now?"

"You can, I didn't expect you to be so young and already a researcher," the transporter chuckled and casually opened the door of the cargo compartment, "You can check the goods now."

As the door to the transport vehicle's cargo bay opened, the dimly audible sounds suddenly became incredibly clear. Gazing at the duck-like creatures, each confined in a comfortable breeding cage and looking at him while making "gala gala" sounds, Lin Su felt as if he had stepped into a marketplace.

Well, pet beasts can't be eaten, so they're not vegetables.

Hearing the noise, Qiuqiu popped its head out of Lin Su's embrace, looking excitedly at the duck-like creatures in front of it, with white feathers marked by blue wavy stripes.

"Meow~meow!" (So many duckies~catch the ducks!)

Entering the cargo compartment and quickly counting the number of breeding cages housing the duck-like creatures, Lin Su confirmed the count was correct and deliberately shifted his attention from them to tally the various hypernatural materials, nodding in satisfaction shortly after.

Good, the numbers for the pet beasts and hypernatural resources match up.

But... is there something missing?

He couldn't resist stepping out of the transport vehicle and looking at the transporter, "Hello, the duck-like creatures and hypernatural resources are all accounted for, but isn't there a pet beast missing that possesses a Tier III hypnosis skill?"

"Oh, you mean that one," the transporter scratched his head, "Don't worry, it's not missing."

After speaking, he gave a sly smile as light blue patterns slowly interwove beneath his feet, stirring up waves of energy around them.

Holy shit...

Was this transporter actually a Master Beast Tamer?

Lin Su couldn't help but be amazed.

As the light blue patterns finished forming, a bizarre-looking pet beast quickly appeared by his side.

The pet beast's form looked like a floating cube, slowly spinning in mid-air, with each side featuring facial features like those of a human, but each expression was distinct.

Is this...

The Six-sided Rubik's Cube?

Lin Su paused for a moment, then subconsciously scanned it with his communicator.

[Serial IAM-0373

Species Name: Six-sided Rubik's Cube

Species Rank: Low-level Commander Species

Attributes: Spirit and Telekinesis

Growth Rank: Commander Rank

Normal Energy Value: 6.3wP

Talent Skills: Emotion Influence (core skill), Hypnosis, Telekinesis]

So it really is it!

Lin Su couldn't resist observing the Six-sided Rubik's Cube that was approaching him with curiosity.

Although this pet beast species is also a low-level commander species, it is relatively rare.

Due to the possession of the rare attributes of spirit and telekinesis, the Six-sided Rubik's Cube is quite precious.

Lin Su had previously expected the pet beast sent to assist to be the Divine Light Butterfly's precursor: the Illusion Thought Butterfly, which also possesses spirit attribute and can learn the hypnosis skill.

Spirit and Telekinesis are both based on the pet beast's will as the source of power, but because of their different manifestations, they are classified into two distinct attributes.

Simply put, the typical skills of the spirit attribute include illusions and hypnosis that directly act upon the spirit, while those of the telekinesis attribute are mainly reflected in skills like manipulating objects from a distance.

The Six-sided Rubik's Cube cannot make sounds, but as it drew closer to him, a voice abruptly appeared in Lin Su's mind.

"Hello there!"

Qiuqiu, nestled in my arms, tilted its head with a puzzled expression, as if it had also heard a voice.

"Meow?" (Why can I understand what you're saying?)

This is...

Glancing at Qiuqiu, Lin Su seemed to realize something, a look of surprise crossing his face.

"This is my pet beast's Spirit system teaching skill, 'Mind Speech.'" The transporter laughed, "With this skill, even without the Telepathy of the Beast Taming Space, you can communicate normally with my pet beast."

"I just happen to need to go away for a while, and I've been too busy lately to train pet beasts. I saw a temporary assignment at the Beast Tamer Association calling for a beast with a rank III hypnosis skill, so I took the initiative and had it come to help," the transporter patted the transport vehicle, "and incidentally took on the role of driver as well."

So that was it.

Lin Su now understood why this master class Beast Tamer, who was not weak by any means, had come to transport materials for him—it was for this reason.

"The beast you requested with rank III hypnosis, my pet beast already met that requirement. There shouldn't be any other problems, right?" the transporter inquired.

"Absolutely no problem," Lin Su nodded emphatically, "I really can't thank you enough!"

Being able to communicate normally with a pet beast that could converse with humans would make things a lot easier, and it could greatly enhance the efficiency of the auxiliary training for Deep Sleep and Dream. He was more than happy about it.

"No need to thank me," the transporter waved his hand, "It's not for free. For my pet beast participating in this research project, the Beast Tamer Association rewards me with five contribution points per day. Tasks like this, where you don't need to leave the city to exterminate exotic beasts for contribution points, are hot commodities."

Upon hearing this, the Six-sided Rubik's Cube immediately began to rotate, turning the face with an angry expression towards its Beast Tamer, expressing its dissatisfaction in this manner.

"Sigh, you're already a mature pet beast; you have to learn to earn your own training resources." The transporter chuckled and patted the Six-sided Rubik's Cube, his large hand forcibly twisting the face with a happy expression towards himself, "Come on, smile for me."

Lin Su: "..."

Qiuqiu: "..."

Six-sided Rubik's Cube: "..."

This transporter uncle sure was a character.

"My pet beast is of the telekinesis type and can help you move things. If there's no issue with the items, please sign the acceptance form. Once you've signed off and taken your project materials, I'll be on my way." After playing with the Six-sided Rubik's Cube for a while, the transporter arranged for his own pet beast with a hearty laugh.

Shaking his head in wry amusement and with the help of the Six-sided Rubik's Cube's telekinesis, Lin Su unloaded the items, watching the transport vehicle speed off. He turned to look at the Six-sided Rubik's Cube with a slight smile on his face, "We're going to be together for the next few days, do you have a name?"

"I'm called Qin Fang." The Six-sided Rubik's Cube's voice carried a hint of sulkiness, clearly unhappy with its Beast Tamer selling it off.

The name Six-sided Rubik's Cube didn't sound like a pet beast's name, but more like that of a human. However, among Beast Tamers it was quite common to have pet beasts named in a manner similar to human names, as many Beast Tamers liked to give their pet beasts names based on their own surnames.

"Qin Fang, got it," Lin Su smiled, "Let's talk about something pleasurable, like... what flavor of Energy Cube do you like?"

"Mint flavor!" The topic of food made the Six-sided Rubik's Cube's recent moodiness vanish in a blink. Its body spun rapidly midair, finally turning the happy face towards Lin Su and starting to shake excitedly.

"Alright, let's move the unflappable ducks and resources to the lab first. I'll get you a batch of mint-flavored Energy Cubes as a supplement for the upcoming auxiliary training," Lin Su smiled.

"No need!" The Six-sided Rubik's Cube interjected immediately.

"Hmm? You don't want Energy Cubes?" Lin Su asked, surprised.

"It's not that I don't want you to carry them—I will!" The Six-sided Rubik's Cube took the lead towards the institute's entrance, resources and the unfaltering ducks' breeding cage floating in the air behind him, driven by telekinesis, resembling a train in formation, "Where's the transport elevator?"

"Oh right, you want me to help with the hypnosis skill, right? As long as there are mint-flavored Energy Cubes, all this is a piece of cake!"

"And another thing, rank I Energy Cubes won't do—I need rank II."

Lin Su's face gradually took on a colorful expression.

This Six-sided Rubik's Cube and that transporter uncle really had the same kind of disposition.

The Energy Cubes required by a Command-level pet beast were no longer rank I, but rank II, much more expensive than rank I. Even if exchanged with contribution points, it took two points to exchange for one cube.

Still, the price seemed very worth it to Lin Su to have a Command-level pet beast that mastered hypnosis and telekinesis and could communicate with humans to help.

Shaking his head with a light chuckle, Lin Su followed closely, carrying Qiuqiu.

"Slow down, the transport elevator is this way, you're going the wrong way!"
