Honey Attendants were Pet Beasts that symbolized happiness to begin with.
The anger Xiao Xian and the other little fairies had felt did not last very long. Before long, they returned to their usual lively selves.
They happily experimented with their new powers, cheerfully flying all over the place and sharing their joy with all the other Pet Beasts.
Of course, they had not forgotten everything that happened inside the illusion.
Even if the experience itself had been fake, the lesson it taught was real—
Although the modern Beast Taming world advocated harmonious relationships between humans and Pet Beasts, as long as humanity still possessed "ambition," evil organizations could never truly disappear. Evil Beast Tamers would always continue to exist.
The same was true for Pet Beasts. Not every Pet Beast was friendly. There were equally savage and terrifying species that viewed all other lifeforms as prey.
The little fairies had all gone to school before, and when interacting with their human classmates, they had heard discussions about topics like these.
It was just that they had always lived in a happy environment and never truly understood what it felt like.
This round of Will-Tempering through the illusion finally allowed them to genuinely experience what it felt like to encounter evil Beast Tamers and vicious Pet Beasts, making them completely understand the importance of strength.
Even if they were healing-type Pet Beasts, without sufficient strength, there might come a critical moment when they could not even save anyone.
As a result, even if it was not as intense as the Ugly Waterfowl's obsession, a desire for evolution had still begun to emerge deep within their hearts.
And after calming down, those feelings only made them understand even more clearly how important this round of illusionary Will-Tempering had been, causing them to feel even more grateful toward Jiang Xing...
Xiao Xian even led the little fairies in preparing a lavish feast for Jiang Xing as a formal expression of thanks.
'As expected of students who've gone to school. Their reading comprehension really is excellent.'
Jiang Xing gave them a thumbs-up. After finishing the feast, he performed physical examinations on the little fairies and began compiling two Pet Beast Compendium entries for them—
The Golden Fairy and the Pink Fairy looked extremely similar on the surface, with only differences in color.
But in reality, their essences were completely different. They belonged to two entirely different Pet Beast species.
Jiang Xing first wrote the compendium entry for the Golden Fairy.
[Name: Little Healing Fairy]
[Attributes: Bug, Light, Emotion]
[Talent: Healing Honey — While in a happy emotional state, it will periodically produce honey with excellent healing effects. Consuming it restores a massive amount of vitality, and it can be preserved for long periods of time.]
[Species Tier: Low Monarch Tier]
[Species Moves: Healing Light, Sweet Kiss, Sugary Aura...]
[Description: A bee-type Pet Beast and a kind-hearted fairy with a healing heart. It will actively approach happy lifeforms and can use the power of joyful emotions to produce healing honey.]
Wood, Light, and Life were all classic recovery-type attributes.
After evolving through the use of the Golden Sunflower, the Little Healing Fairy not only compensated for its shortcomings through Light-type power, but also obtained even stronger healing abilities.
Its racial talent even revolved around producing healing honey—
That was simply too practical!
Although the Beast Taming world also possessed all kinds of healing items, and some of them—such as the Life Beans once used by Dr. Ail—could even fully restore a Pet Beast's condition and possessed miraculous effects akin to bringing the dead back to life...
Those healing items usually had limited production and were relatively expensive.
The truly common low-cost wound medicines actually did not possess especially impressive healing effects. Their main purpose was to prevent injuries from worsening, allowing injured Pet Beasts to hold on long enough to reach a hospital, where healing-type Pet Beasts could use moves to provide rapid treatment.
As long as a sufficient amount of the Healing Honey produced by the Little Healing Fairy was consumed, it was basically equivalent to receiving treatment from a move of the corresponding level. The effects were extremely good!
It was enough to rival high-quality healing items.
As for production volume, while it was not particularly high, it still exceeded the output of excellent-quality healing items by dozens of times over!
Even if it could not replace low-cost wound medicine, it could still greatly reduce the price of healing items, allowing more Beast Tamers to spare some funds to purchase healing items while raising their Pet Beasts.
'Saving people from suffering and disaster... Little Healing Fairy it is.'
The evolution conditions of the Little Healing Fairy were clearly inseparable from the Golden Sunflower item.
According to the rules of the Beast Taming world, when Pet Beast scholars published Pet Beast evolution conditions and completed Pet Beast Compendium entries, they were not required to fully disclose the exact composition methods of every special condition—
For example, with move-based evolution, it would be impossible to require scholars to publicly release a Move Manual alongside the evolution conditions. At most, they would only disclose related information about the move itself.
The same applied to item-based evolution. No one could force researchers to publicly reveal the crafting blueprints for evolution items. At most, they would disclose the item's name and effects.
Things like these all fell under intellectual property and were protected by law.
After all, certain moves and items were inheritances passed down through great families and even top-tier Beast Tamers themselves.
If everything were made public outright, then major forces such as gyms and noble families would no longer be able to profit from them.
These things could also be considered part of a Pet Beast scholar's accumulated foundation.
Therefore, as long as Jiang Xing wished, he could monopolize the Little Healing Fairy evolution line through the Golden Sunflower item.
However, Jiang Xing had already passed the stage of lacking money or resources.
If he needed research funding, he could just learn from Dr. Xu and put "Commissioner Jiang's little hands" to work quietly skimming some wool off the organization.
Compared to restricting the production of the Golden Sunflower, monopolizing the Little Healing Fairy, and keeping all the profits in his own hands...
He would rather see more people raising Little Healing Fairies, increasing the production of Healing Honey so that more people could afford healing items.
So, he decided to publicly release the crafting blueprint for the Golden Sunflower as a patented design. Any Beast Tamer would be allowed to consult the blueprint, craft the item, and raise Little Healing Fairies—though if some organization wanted to profit from it, they would have to pay a certain patent fee.
'They're Pet Beasts that pursue happiness... if they become tainted by too much profit and greed, then they won't be happy anymore.'
After finishing his thoughts regarding the Little Healing Fairy, Jiang Xing began writing the compendium entry for the Pink Fairy.
[Name: Flower Fairy Attendant]
[Attributes: Bug, Fairy]
[Talent: Flower Guardian — Wraps a target in flower petals, redirecting all attribute damage they receive onto itself, while additionally calculating resistance one extra time (but without additionally calculating attribute advantage).]
[Species Tier: Mid Monarch Tier]
[Species Moves: Dazzling Gleam, Fairy Wind, Sugary Aura, Charm...]
[Description: A bee-type Pet Beast and a fairy that draws close to kind-hearted people. When it encounters someone it wishes to protect, it is willing to bear all pain and suffering in their place.]
Even after obtaining Fairy-type power, the Honey Attendants—Pet Beasts that symbolized happiness and joy—had not changed their innate nature.
Their attack and speed remained relatively weak. In exchange, they possessed tremendous vitality, formidable defenses, and a support-type talent that symbolized protection.
To be honest, this talent was not overwhelmingly powerful on its own.
Although it could be placed on one's own fragile damage dealer, it did not grant immunity to damage. It merely calculated resistance an additional time—
And Bug + Fairy did not actually possess many resistances. In fact, it had quite a few weaknesses instead.
The Bug attribute was pretty strange like that.
However...
Once Dragon-type was factored in, everything became completely different.
The Fairy attribute possessed a form of "theoretical immunity" against Dragon-type. Only when the gap in strength reached a certain level would Fairy-types suffer a small amount of Dragon-type damage.
For example, if an Extraordinary Fairy fought a Monarch Dragon, it obviously would not be possible for it to tank a breath attack and walk away completely unharmed.
But if the Flower Guardian talent activated, then when the Flower Fairy Attendant endured a Dragon-type attack, it would calculate Immunity twice...
Yeah.
At that point, it could practically be treated as completely immune to Dragon-type attacks.
And besides, talents and attribute matchups also depended heavily on the competitive environment.
Within the Beast Taming world, Dragon was the classic high-tier attribute. It was powerful, handsome, and possessed excellent resistances, which was why many King-Class and Champion Beast Tamers were obsessed with Dragon-type Pet Beasts.
Even someone like Su Muli, a Water-type King-Class Beast Tamer, kept several dragons on her team.
Under those circumstances, the Flower Guardian talent, when placed in a high-end battle environment, was basically equivalent to granting any ally a "Dragon-Type Immunity" status...
That alone was enough to firmly secure its position as a top-tier support.
Additionally, perhaps because their innate potential was lacking, even after obtaining supplementary attributes, both the Little Healing Fairy and the Flower Fairy Attendant only displayed a single talent.
Of course, that might actually be a good thing, since it represented more stable evolutions.
After completing the Flower Fairy Attendant's compendium entry, Jiang Xing looked toward the Rainbow Dragon Hatchling, which was enthusiastically interacting with Xiao Xian, and a trace of sympathy appeared in his eyes.
Dragon Hatchling... you don't even realize there's a fairy living in your house. Your vigilance is way too low!
