Chapter 452

Even so, before this, during the on-site training at the inn, Little Qing and Little Black had only entered the normal rooms located above the chimney through the exclusive passage for pets to learn the route.

It was their first visit to a capsule room.

However, the little ones were not at all shy; instead, they were thrilled.

These compartment-like rooms felt particularly interesting to them, and they played non-stop, flying up and down the narrow corridors and stairs sandwiched between the capsule rooms.

Kevin hadn’t used much of his mental energy today.

He hadn’t engaged in combat as usual but had come to the teleportation array due to unforeseen events to take care of some business.

However, even without deliberately using any magic, as a mage, there is a natural loss of mental energy in daily life.

For example, some mages subconsciously use simple low-level spells like Mage Hand to make their lives more convenient. These spells may seem insignificant, and many mages might not even realize they are using magic, but the energy cost is real.

So, when he felt the important organ above his mental sea, which produces mental fluid, being stimulated and starting to accelerate the secretion of mental energy fluid, Kevin was extremely delighted.

His gaze was fixed on the adorable little creature, waving his hands like a strange man trying to entice a child, attempting to get the little one to come closer.

However, without snacks in hand, although the Healing Chimes are naturally curious, they are not children who can be easily beckoned after training.

They have to face some unfamiliar guests. Although they are on Blue Star’s territory, Lorant doesn’t believe anyone would dare to intentionally harm these little chimes, but a safe distance must be maintained.

Otherwise, if the guests feed them some strange food or something that indirectly harms these little creatures, it would also be something Lorant would not want to see.

Therefore, for the safety of their pets and to provide better interaction with them, Lorant had people place favorite snacks for the Healing Chimes in the rooms for guests to purchase.

The little Healing Chime blinked its big eyes, carefully observing Kevin’s strained smile, and appeared to be drawn, floating forward.

This naturally made Kevin overjoyed, and he redoubled his efforts to perform for the Healing Chime.

Just when Kevin thought it would float towards him for a closer look.

The playful little creature, having enjoyed his performance as if it were a prank, turned around proudly and, without hesitation, floated away with its long tongue swinging.

Leaving Kevin alone, half his body hanging outside, left frozen.

The sound of the Healing Chime soon gradually faded in this space.

As masters of their abilities, the Healing Chimes can sense whether the exhausted mental reserves of the practitioners within their ability’s coverage area have been refilled.

And based on this, they decide whether to continue making sounds.

Of course, such work is obviously impossible to complete in such a short time.

The ability of the Healing Chime is only to accelerate the recovery of mental energy; it takes time to fully restore the depleted mental energy to its original state.

Although the Healing Chime can greatly reduce this time, it cannot instantly restore people’s mental seas to their original state.

However, during this process, the abilities of the Healing Chimes themselves are not unlimited; these little ones also need rest.

Fortunately, the ability of the Healing Chime will last for a while after hearing the chime, otherwise, relying on these little ones to chime incessantly would probably exhaust them.

So after the first round of ability release, these little ones casually swayed and returned to their usual resting places through the reopened pet passage on the wall.

The pet’s resting room is right below the capsule room, so coming and going is very convenient. Some of the little ones in the guest rooms above choose not to return but to rest in the rooms.

At the same time, the Dream Jellyfish also made adjustments in its 'dream pathway'. It unfurled its body, now displaying a more elegant and beautiful form, allowing it to float comfortably for a long time.

After positioning itself, Little Qing and Little Black began to happily emit their auras.

Ripples of invisible energy rippled out from the elegant body of the Dream Jellyfish.

The ripples effortlessly passed through the surrounding walls.

Soon, the people within this energy range were affected by it.

Kevin, who had been feeling a bit excited due to a recent worldview overhaul and an intense room scramble, and was thrilled to have successfully arrived here, suddenly felt his nerves calm down.

The thoughts that had been constantly emerging in his mind every second seemed to hit a pause button, momentarily stilled.

If ordinary thoughts are like boats gliding through calm waters, then the thoughts of those affected by the Dream Jellyfish became like boats trudging through molasses, slow and sluggish.

However, this did not make Kevin feel any discomfort. This ability, directly affecting mental energy, can even override people's subconscious defenses and directly send signals of drowsiness to the body.

Thus, Kevin felt his eyelids grow heavier, and a wave of drowsiness slowly overcame him.

Part of Kevin's conscious mind knew that this was the effect of the Dream Jellyfish's magical ability. According to his initial thoughts before coming here, he should have meticulously recorded every moment of this experience to make the trip worthwhile.

But now, he had no interest left in exploring this new creature.

The only thought in the mage's heart was to have a good sleep, to follow his body's instinct and rest properly.

So he gave in and closed his eyes.

Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.

Not long after the Dream Jellyfish began using its ability, all the guests in the inn fell into a deep sleep.

Even the two attendants in the lobby had long closed the inn's doors and, under the influence of the Dream Jellyfish's ability, fell asleep on the counter.

Currently, the most challenging aspect of the Dream Jellyfish's ability is its lack of selectivity.

Although those stronger than the Dream Jellyfish can mobilize their abilities to resist the dream aura, Lorant couldn't possibly hire mid-level professionals as attendants here, could he?

Fortunately, the Dream Jellyfish's ability has no effect on pets and beasts, allowing the inn to run smoothly while losing some strategic value.

Otherwise, if the aura caused the Dream Weaver and Healing Chime to fall asleep as well, the inn would be completely unable to function.

Until something capable of resisting this aura is invented, the Blue Star Inn can only operate on a fixed schedule, having the Dream Jellyfish 'on duty' at fixed times each day, after which the inn's doors are completely closed, allowing no one in or out.

Lorant, completely unaffected, sat in the lobby listening to Fa Meng quietly report the current situation in the inn, nodding with satisfaction.

He had no interest in prying into the guests' personal privacy, but merely wanted to ensure that the Dream Jellyfish's ability perfectly covered all the professionals in the entire inn.

And that the high-level professionals did not deliberately resist the Dream Jellyfish's ability, which was enough to prove that the people who came here truly wanted to experience the new life brought by the pets, not for other purposes.

After having Fa Meng confirm this once again, Lorant got up and left.

From that day on, the Blue Star Inn became one of the most popular facilities in the entire Black Forest defense line.

Countless mages and priests regarded it as a holy land, fighting hard every day to exchange points for a night's stay at the inn.

Other professionals also eyed the place covetously, as the prospect of having a perfect deep sleep in such an environment tempted all professionals.

For a time, the demand for mages wanting to stay here surged.

What many people did not expect was that since the addition of the Shadowstrike Cat and the emergence of the Blue Star Inn, the progress of the Black Forest frontline had accelerated by three to four times, which really boosted efficiency.

This was not only due to the transformative changes these few types of magical beasts brought to the area. Their appearance also drew in a surprising number of professionals, indirectly contributing to the advancement of the Black Forest frontline.

After all, Blue Star has always been short on talent. Now, with the emergence of these highly attractive magical beasts, adventurers from all over the world are flocking here.

This even caused a minor crisis in other passes like Pokara, which also relied on adventurers for defense. Fortunately, this normal flow of personnel remained within controllable limits, preventing any major mishaps.

Soon, half a year passed.

During this half-year, Lorant's greatest delight came from an accidental breeding simulation, where he obtained a breeding path for a level B magical beast.

It was a little creature named "Mushroom Grower" in the guidebook.

The combat abilities of this creature brought Lorant comfort, and as he looked at the recent magical beasts he had bred, he couldn't help but marvel at how the primary abilities of these creatures still leaned towards combat. Being able to breed so many auxiliary or lifestyle-oriented magical beasts was indeed a stroke of good fortune for him.
