Seeing the Prayer Star Stone just regaining its glow, Luo Jiangyue asked curiously in a low voice.
"It seems to slightly enhance the power of Xiao Jiu’s moves. Besides that, this Prayer Star Stone’s ability to absorb the power of stars seems to have been restored too."
Chen Mo said with an unchanged expression.
He didn’t mention that Xiao Jiu could sense the wishes of all beings through the Prayer Star Stone, only mentioning its other ability.
Previously, when Luo Jiangyue introduced the Prayer Star Stone to Chen Mo, she mentioned that it had the ability to absorb Star Spiritual Power, but this ability gradually disappeared as the stone wasn’t used for a long time.
It wasn’t until Xiao Jiu reactivated the Prayer Star Stone using wish power that this ability was redeveloped.
Of course, Chen Mo’s detailed understanding relied on the Star Sea.
Due to the training with the Star Chart, the Star Sea was particularly sensitive to Star Spiritual Power.
When Xiao Jiu activated the Prayer Star Stone, it could clearly perceive the stone beginning to absorb the surrounding power of stars.
However, currently, within the Great Big Mouth Flower, the absorption efficiency was very low.
If placed outside, the absorption efficiency should be much higher.
"Mr. Luo, I’ve decided to choose this Prayer Star Stone. Can I pick one more Epic Treasure as a bonus?"
Chen Mo cheekily asked for more.
She vaguely felt that Chen Mo might have already mastered how to properly activate the Prayer Star Stone.
But what did that matter to her?
After all, the Prayer Star Stone wasn’t hers, and if the school leaders knew she exchanged two Epic Treasures for one Legendary Treasure, they might even praise her ability!
Leaving Bai Ze University and returning to Blue Star, it was already evening.
Winter nights always came early, and now snow was gently falling from the sky, the moonlight was bright, but the city atmosphere didn’t seem cold and desolate.
The streets were brightly decorated, and every household had couplets and festive lanterns hanging by their doors.
Chen Mo glanced at the date.
"So, it’s almost Chinese New Year."
Although the day after tomorrow was the actual New Year’s Eve, the festive atmosphere on the streets was already very strong.
Dongxia paid special attention to the Spring Festival. Not only did all industries enjoy a month-long holiday, but many dragon and lion dances and temple fair activities were also arranged in various regions.
Of course, these dragons and lions were real Spiritual Beasts, not human impersonations.
Xiao Jiu’s eyes lit up; it loved the New Year!
The only Spring Festival it had spent was with Chen Mo and Grandma; it clearly remembered Grandma made an extra braised fish and half a chicken for it that day.
Before achieving its "freedom of fish snacks," that was the most sumptuous dinner it had ever had, making it remember the "flavor of the New Year" firmly!
As for the other Spiritual Beasts, it was their first New Year.
But they all felt the warm and vibrant atmosphere, making them look forward to it.
"Since it’s New Year, let’s cancel our training for the next week and do things we want to do!"
Chen Mo smiled as he spoke to his Spiritual Beasts.
Even the busiest workers needed to relax during the New Year, so Chen Mo decided to give himself and Jiu Bao a long holiday.
However, surprisingly—
Xiao Jiu, Star Sea, Bing Lan, and Moli all shook their heads in unison.
"Woo!" (I want to train; training makes me happy!) ×4
The only one showing joy was Tuantuan, but upon seeing all its companions shaking their heads, it hurriedly followed suit.
Chen Mo was dumbfounded.
Xiao Jiu and Star Sea were always self-disciplined, understandable, but wasn’t the little bluebird fond of novels and anime, and Moli obsessed with enjoying good food?
How did they all become so diligent all of a sudden?
With the influence of the diligent ones, training had become something that brought joy and excitement, and feeling their progress every day made the beasts unable to stop!
But in the end, Chen Mo decided to enforce a "vacation" for his Spiritual Beasts; even the Entry challenges he planned to pause for a few days, maybe letting Xiao Jiu use the Wish Technique to turn them into the easiest ones.
"Let’s go home first! The New Year should be spent at home."
Chen Mo valued the ritual of the New Year very much.
A family reunion definitely counted as celebrating the New Year!
Star Sea sped swiftly through the night sky of Blue Star, returning to Anxing District in less than two hours.
At this moment, Grandma was watching the replay of Chen Mo’s world championship match, something she had watched many times, yet couldn’t get enough of.
Her beloved grandson had achieved success!
After greeting Grandma, Chen Mo began preparing hot pot in the living room.
Snowy days went best with hot pot!
Gazing at the snowflakes fluttering outside, Chen Mo couldn’t help but think of Sister Meng’s serene and stunning beauty.
Half a month of interaction had brought them much closer together.
"I wonder if Sister Meng has finished her work?"
Because a batch of "ancient artifacts" was unearthed in some ruins, urgently needing Chen Meng’s expertise, Sister Meng hurried back to the company after returning to Blue Star.
Sensing that his Spirit Master was somewhat lovestruck, Xiao Jiu snatched Chen Mo’s phone, its little paws skillfully tapping on the screen.
"Hey, hey, Jiu Bao, what are you doing?"
Chen Mo tried to take back his phone, but Xiao Jiu’s agility easily outpaced him.
Silent Is Golden: [Sister Meng, the moon tonight is so beautiful. Suddenly, I really want to have hotpot with you.]
Xiao Jiu typed the message, chose to send it, and even took a picture of the hotpot before returning the phone to Chen Mo.
