Beast Tamer: The evolution path I made up has come true!

If I were to step into the lab right now and my slippers couldn't fly, I would be ridiculed by the entire internet for academic fraud and kicked out by Xu Qingshan, who would betray me out of my family.

Absolutely not!

But if I refuse outright, it would be like wearing my guilty conscience on my sleeve.

Su Mo took a deep breath, glanced at Fu Gui who was still drooling, and looked at the wildly increasing number of viewers in the live stream. Suddenly, a perfect excuse popped into his mind.

Then Su Mo raised his head and looked directly at the camera, saying, "Everyone, I have some news to tell you. My supervisor just gave me a strict order to take Fugui to the lab for an on-site retest."

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, the live chat erupted with comments like: "Holy crap! That's swift and decisive!"

[Mentor: You'd better actually be able to suck up slippers, or I'll suck up you today!]

[Hurry, hurry! Bring your phones, we want to see it from a first-person perspective!]

"Although I really want to prove it to everyone right away."

Su Mo sighed, then suddenly turned the camera and zoomed in on Fu Gui's dull and tired face.

"But look at Fugui."

"The fake wolf's brain capacity is already fragile, not to mention that this was the first time it had made the slipper fly."

"If the experiment is forced, it could lead to its mental breakdown or even brain death."

As Su Mo spoke, he reached out and patted the dog's head, his face full of heartache, saying, "Science requires rigorous testing, but it should never be based on the premise of abusing pets!"

Su Mo's words were impeccable, and he immediately got some viewers in the live stream to follow his lead.

Indeed, look at Fugui's eyes; they look like dead fish eyes.

Protect the wealthy! Reject academic exploitation!

I feel so sorry for Fugui. I really don't know what those people who said they wanted to retest were thinking!

Seeing that the emotions in the comments section had been successfully stirred up, Su Mo went with the flow and released a preview in front of the entire internet: "So, I will ask my mentor for a three-day grace period!"

"Three days from now! Tianfu No. 1 Laboratory! Live broadcast without interruption, with comments on, everyone is welcome to come and check out the fake news frame by frame!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a notification popped up in the live stream chat: [Three days later, at the Tianfu Grand Standard Laboratory, the fake wolf's gravitational interference will be publicly reproduced!]

Chapter 8 President Su Mo!

That evening, Su Mo washed his face and was about to check the progress of turning the fake into the real when the terminal started vibrating wildly as if it were having an epileptic seizure.

When he picked it up, the screen was filled with red "99+" numbers, which almost blinded Su Mo.

The class group, which usually goes unanswered even when the advisor sends a notification, is now flooded with messages at a rate of ten per second, and the private messages in the live stream and forum are completely exploding.

The most outrageous thing was that classmates who hadn't spoken to Su Mo since graduating high school all sent him messages:

[Holy crap, bro, is that weirdo who teaches dogs advanced math? ???]

Su Mo, you're famous now!

Upon seeing these private messages, Su Mo's eyelids twitched violently.

After taking a deep breath and preparing himself mentally, Su Mo clicked on the Weibo link.

As soon as I entered, I saw the entry for "[Pseudo-Wolf Advanced Mathematics Awakening]" in the top three of the trending list, followed by the word "Explosive".

Furthermore, the topic square is filled with live stream clips, including frame-by-frame analysis of the slippers dangling in mid-air, videos showcasing Fugui's utterly hopeless expression, and even a quick-witted content creator who edited Fugui's desperate screams and advanced math formulas into a catchy, meme-worthy single.

The number of views is approaching one million.

Looking at the video on the screen, Su Mo fell silent.

It has to be said that this generation of netizens is far more creative in abstract art than the professors at Tianfu University are at researching pet animals.

Then Su Mo took a deep breath and clicked on the most popular video.

The cover image of this video is extremely impactful:

On the left are Fu Gui's clear, foolish eyes; in the middle are slippers floating in mid-air; and on the right is Su Mo's handsome face.

The headline was even more straightforward: "It! Really! Flew!"

In the comments section of this video, netizens expressed their opinions, which turned into a chaotic and contentious online battle.

The first to step in were naturally the anti-fraud activists and academics who couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing:

[It's obviously fake; there's definitely transparent fishing line under the table. We suggest a thorough investigation of this scammer!]

[The fake wolf's mental affinity is among the lowest in all thirty-seven journal articles! Therefore, the phenomenon of the slippers levitating is very likely a fabrication by the streamer!]

Meanwhile, those who had no interest in academics and were simply there for the fun of it also chimed in: "I don't understand pets, but I understand advanced mathematics. The look in that fake wolf's eyes in the video is definitely one of being hurt by knowledge."

[We strongly demand that the fake wolf be granted workers' compensation!]

[As it turns out, a fake wolf will do anything when pushed to the limit.]

[Haha, I think it wasn't the fake wolf sucking up the slipper, but rather the slipper feeling sorry for the fake wolf and flying over to comfort it.]

As the topic gained traction, the two groups, who were initially speaking their own minds, inevitably started arguing in the comments section.

During the discussion, someone who disliked the academic overreaction commented: "Seriously, everyone should just watch the video for fun, why take it so seriously? Surely no one actually thinks this is an academic conference?"

[Exactly! Whether it's transparent fishing line or some kind of contraption, isn't this more entertaining than those boring, monotonous live streams? Just have some fun!]

[Support the streamer! To train the fake wolf to cooperate so well, it's worth the ticket price, even if it were magic. Keyboard warriors, stop being so sour.]

However, those who debunk the claims and academics clearly don't buy into this "just for fun" argument, and have spoken out:

[Fake is fake! It would be one thing if the streamer claimed it was a magic performance, but using Tianfu University's name for false advertising is academic fraud!]

Don't use "it's just for fun" as an excuse! There's a bottom line! Using fake theories to fool novices and gain clicks through unethical means is an insult to the hard work of researchers in evolutionary biology!

[If we tolerate his fraud today, will people dare to sell courses on "Slimes have Ancient God bloodlines" tomorrow? Academic integrity is inviolable; reports must be suppressed!]

The two sides went back and forth, neither willing to give an inch, pushing the discussion surrounding the trending topic to unprecedented heights.

Watching the two groups arguing fiercely over the truth of the matter in the comments section, Su Mo pinched his thigh hard in front of the screen to barely suppress the wildly upturned corners of his mouth.

Go ahead and argue, argue as much as you want.

Whether it's a righteous and righteous denunciation or a nonchalant joke, as long as they participate in this debate, every keystroke they make is continuously converted into recognition points in the system.

The more intense the battle, the faster the progress bar goes up; no matter who wins or loses, you are the only winner.

However, this secret satisfaction of being fleeced didn't last long.

When Su Mo continued scrolling down and saw another large group of wild soldiers suddenly joining the battlefield, the smile on his face instantly froze.

Because the next to join the battle are the amateur scientists' supporters.

[I've said it before: traditional beast taming techniques suppressed the potential of pets! The fake wolf isn't useless; it's just that human arrogance prevented us from understanding it!]

[Well done, Su Mo! You broke the academic monopoly! True strength is never defined by academic papers!]

[My article "The Theory of Carbon-Based Pet Spiritual Energy Leap," published on Tieba thirty years ago, predicted this day long ago! The so-called "genetic lock" and "zero spiritual affinity" are nothing but a shocking hoax fabricated by the academic clique at Tianfu University to monopolize exorbitantly priced evolutionary drugs! The fake wolf's spiritual power isn't nonexistent; it belongs to the high-dimensional dark matter frequency band, which those lousy instruments simply cannot detect! Truth lies in the hands of a minority!]

[Brother Su Mo, you are a true pioneer! Don't be afraid of those hypocritical professors suppressing you! We, the hundreds of thousands of wild breeders across the internet, are your strongest support! Please take up the banner of rebellion against traditional beast taming and lead us to overthrow the corrupt academic school!]

[We recommend the immediate establishment of the 'Higher Dimensional Cognition Truth Society,' with Mentor Su Mo as our first president!]

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!"

[After watching President Su's demonstration, I felt like I'd been struck by lightning! Su, give the order! Tomorrow we'll raze the Beast Taming Association to the ground!]

Looking at these impassioned remarks, Su Mo, who was secretly pleased with himself for boosting his brand awareness just a moment ago, now felt dizzy and his vision went black.

I enjoy watching anti-fraud activists and entertainers argue because it's at most an online controversy.

But once these amateur science enthusiasts (referred to as amateur scientists) got involved, the nature of the situation completely changed!

Judging from their actions, these people are trying to push themselves onto the throne of an anti-intellectual cult leader!

Please, everyone, don't do this!

If this isn't resolved within three days, and Tianfu University investigates further, then they'll not only be accused of academic fraud, but also of inciting pseudoscience worship among the public...

Damn it, I'm definitely going to be expelled from school!

Just as Su Mo was furiously complaining in his heart, a fluffy head suddenly came closer.

Fugui obviously couldn't understand the dense text, but it recognized itself in the video at a glance.

On the screen, Fugui was being pressed against a calculus book, his expression as tragic as that of a martyr about to die.

It tilted its head and stared at the screen for two seconds, then suddenly let out a howl and started scratching the screen with its paws.

Its action was clearly an attempt to pry the slippers out of the video.

Seeing this, Su Mo grabbed its paw with a look of utter exasperation.

Very well, you haven't memorized any advanced mathematics knowledge, but you haven't forgotten your instinct to play with slippers.

At the same time, the system panel in the upper right corner of my vision trembled slightly.

[Awareness has increased significantly!]
