Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

Back in Colton's cabin, the scene he had just witnessed still lingered in Charles's mind.

At the moment he saw that strange tentacle, it felt as if he had fallen into a hallucination, encountering something horrifying. However, by the time Colton called him, he couldn't remember anything at all.

"Teacher, I think I just fell into a hallucination, but when I woke up, I had no memory of it." Charles voiced his concerns. He felt that everything about it was just too bizarre.

Colton didn't respond immediately, instead, he pulled a bottle of miracle drug from the ring on his hand and handed it to Charles, reassuring him, "Don't think too much about it. You might be mistaken. This is a miracle drug meant to calm your mind. Just take it and get some sleep."

Charles took the miracle drug, and an information prompt appeared before his eyes:

[Special Suppression Miracle Drug]

[Grade]: Purple Quality

[Description]: Taking this miracle drug can temporarily suppress a Beast Master's special perception abilities, making them indistinguishable from ordinary people for a short period.

Charles looked at the miracle drug in his hand with a strange expression. Colton said it was meant to calm his mind, which, to some extent, was true.

It seemed that the situation was more complicated and dangerous than Charles had imagined.

Colton, in an effort to keep him from worrying, had deliberately referred to the special suppression miracle drug as a calming miracle drug.

"Alright, you don't need to follow me to learn alchemy today. You should head back and rest early. Don't think too much, I have some matters to attend to." Colton said directly.

Charles nodded, he needed to go back and digest the information he had received today.

Once he returned to his dorm, Charles took a hot shower and then lay down on his bed, starting to contemplate the future.

He wondered what Teacher Ezra was busy with, he hadn't heard anything in a while, and there was no new progress regarding his parents.

He still needed a bit more enhancement material for the black gold long knife. When he had time later, he could refine some miracle drugs for sale and purchase a piece of suitable orange-quality rare metal material. That should be enough.

Having an orange-quality weapon would give Charles a bit more sense of security. He also wanted to see if there were other ways to improve the quality of the Nine Netherworld Armband, that would be even better.

The next priority was to enhance his Beast Master abilities. The immediate task was to level Mia up to 19 and prepare for her advancement first.

As for the trial tower that Dean Jamie mentioned, there was no rush for that, he could put it on hold for now and visit when he had time.

With these thoughts in mind, Charles found it hard to relax. He headed directly to the training area where he had practiced before and summoned Mia, Mousie, and Max to train!

As time passed,

Mousie used its Mimetic Illusion to project and replicate mystical beasts, which Mia continuously defeated, gaining experience with each victory.

[ Ding! Your mystical beast Mia Lv.18 has defeated Bloodthirsty Rhino Lv.19. Experience points +20! ]

...

Finally, Mia's level reached 19!

He then opened the Pets tab to check Mia's attribute panel.

[ Level ]: Lv.19 [ View Advancement Materials ]

After selecting to view the advancement materials, a pop-up window appeared on the screen.

[ Advancement Materials ]: Wind Attribute Beast Core [Tier 2] ×3, Swift Wind Grass ×3, 10 kg of Blood from a Tier 5 Wind Attribute Mystical Beast!

The earlier advancement materials were relatively easier to find. Both the wind attribute beast cores and swift wind grass could be purchased at the Alchemist Guild. However, the blood of a Tier 5 wind attribute mystical beast was not so common.

Charles wasn't sure if the Alchemist Guild had any in stock. It seemed he would have to make another trip to the Alchemist Guild tomorrow.

It was already quite late, so after finishing his training, Charles returned to his dorm and took the miracle drug Colton had given him, enjoying a good night's sleep.

After his morning classes the next day, Charles hurried to the Alchemist Guild to find President Owen.

"10 kg of Tier 5 Wind Attribute Mystical Beast blood? Charles, that's hard to come by. Calivia doesn't have much in stock. Let me see if I can call some over from other cities." Owen replied.

Mystical beast blood can also be used for alchemy, but its consumption isn't as high as other alchemy materials, so the Alchemist Guild doesn't have much in stock and can only draw from nearby cities.

Owen continued, "The fastest it can arrive is in about two days. I'll message you when it gets here, and you can come pick it up."

Charles nodded, two days wasn't too long. He could wait.

"By the way, President, I have some alchemy materials here. Can you take a look and give me a price?" Charles had some alchemy materials he had harvested yesterday that were ready to sell.

Unexpectedly, Owen shook his head and said, "Selling to the Alchemist Guild isn't very profitable. A new treasure house has opened in Calivia, and they are currently buying various items at a premium. You might want to check it out."

Charles was a bit surprised. President Owen was quite good to him, making a bit more money was always better.

He decided to check out the new treasure house, as there might be other items he needed as well.

After paying a deposit and bidding farewell to Owen, Charles planned to head to the treasure house.

Just then, Catherine's call came in.

"Charles, are you busy right now? I have something I want to discuss with you." Catherine's voice sounded somewhat downcast on the other end.

This was the first time Charles had ever heard her speak like that.

He quickly replied, "I'm not busy. I was planning to check out the treasure house soon. Is something wrong?"

Catherine didn't respond directly but said, "Then I'll come with you. Wait for me at the entrance, I'll be there soon."

After saying that, Catherine quickly hung up the phone.

Charles felt a bit puzzled. He could detect a hint of sadness and reluctance in Catherine's tone, something he had never noticed before.

Suppressing his curiosity, Charles arrived at the entrance of the newly opened treasure house.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Catherine finally appeared.

Her outfit was different from usual—a fitted black knit top that revealed half of her smooth, fair shoulder, paired with form-fitting khaki jeans that accentuated her alluring curves.

"What's wrong? You seem a bit off today." Charles asked. In his eyes, Catherine usually wore casual clothes, but today she had dressed up deliberately. It looked like she had even put on lipstick, making her lips more enticing.

Catherine shook her head, a stiff smile on her face. "Nothing. Charles, you wanted to check out the treasure house, right? I'll accompany you."

Seeing that Catherine didn't want to elaborate, Charles didn't press her and nodded in agreement.

Once Catherine walked closer, Charles turned to head into the treasure house. Unexpectedly, just as he turned, Catherine suddenly linked her arm with his.

Charles's body stiffened, and he stopped in his tracks, looking down at Catherine's arm.

"What's wrong? Aren't we going in to look around?" Catherine spoke before Charles could.

Charles raised his head, looking ahead as he replied, "No, it's nothing. Let's go."

But Catherine lowered her head, her ears turning red. She realized her actions were sudden, yet she didn't want to let go. She tightened her grip, pressing her body closely against Charles.

"Welcome to the treasure house! May I ask if you're selling or buying today?" A staff member quickly approached and inquired.

Charles casually replied, "Both. Let's sell first."

With Catherine by his side, Charles sold all the alchemy materials, forging materials, and other useless items he had collected yesterday.

They were worth a total of 22 gold coins and 380 silver coins.

His current assets were: [Gold Coins: 87, Silver Coins: 610, Copper Coins: 800].

Of course, he hadn't yet given Owen the money for the wind attribute beast cores, swift wind grass, and the blood of the Tier 5 wind attribute mystical beast he had asked him to prepare.

"I wonder what the purchase price for green-quality miracle drugs is here?" Charles thought for a moment and asked.

The staff member replied, "Dear customer, the price depends on the quality and use of the miracle drug. We have professional alchemists here. If you're sure you want to sell, I can get them to come over for an appraisal."

Charles nodded, feeling a bit flustered—not because of buying and selling these items,

but because of Catherine beside him.

Throughout the entire process, Catherine didn't say a word. Her azure eyes were fixed on him the whole time.

Charles caught a fleeting glance and saw the reluctance and sadness filling Catherine's eyes.

Not knowing why, Charles felt a tightness in his chest, as if countless threads were wrapped around him and pulling him down, making him uncomfortable.

After a while, the alchemist from the treasure house arrived. Charles took out the revival pill and handed it over for inspection.

Soon, the purchase price was settled.

For each revival pill crafted, Charles could earn nearly 1 gold coin in profit. If the success rate remained stable, the profit would be even higher!

But right now, Charles's mind was not on making money at all.

He took Catherine outside the treasure house and onto the street. Catherine was still tightly linked to his arm, refusing to let go.

"What's wrong? Is something bad happening?" Charles couldn't hold back and asked.

Catherine looked up, staring blankly at Charles's face.

She looked slowly and seriously before answering, "I'm going back, Charles."

"Going back? Where to? Are you leaving Genosha?" Charles was a bit taken aback.

Catherine nodded slowly, "Yeah, I'm leaving."
