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

Chapter 22 Has the Beast Taming World really gone this far?

At the end of the meeting, Xu Qingshan pushed the electronic document to the SuMo terminal.

"Preliminary experimental arrangements for tomorrow. Samples will be delivered to the lab starting at 9:00 AM."

Xu Qingshan said in a deep voice, "Go back tonight and write down the process. Remember, don't use any more of that nonsense internet slang."

Su Mo opened the file and glanced at it.

[Pseudo-wolf Sample Expansion and Retesting Plan]

[Person in Charge: Su Mo]

Looking at these words, Su Mo felt a little complicated.

Just a few days ago, I was an unlucky guy who almost got transferred to the animal husbandry major.

Unexpectedly, he has now become the legitimate head of an official research project.

It was nearly midnight when I came out of the core conference room.

After resting in the conference room, Fugui was much more energetic. Not only was his tail wagging happily, but his eyes had also regained their previous expression, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Fugui's lively appearance, Su Mo said quietly, "Fugui, you're going to school tomorrow!"

Fu Gui: "Huh?"

His ears, which had just perked up, immediately drooped back down, and his eyes revealed a sense of despair.

the next day.

Su Mo stayed up all night and finally finished the basic process of the pseudo-wolf advanced mathematics induction.

Feeling the sun shining on his body, Su Mo yawned, then glanced at the sky outside the window and the time.

With some time still remaining before the 9 o'clock meeting time at the laboratory, Su Mo decided to first go to the Tianfu Pet Trading Market to check on the fake wolf.

According to the arrangements made at last night's meeting, one last of the five fake wolves in the experimental sample still needs to be purchased temporarily.

"The taste of this place..."

Su Mo, sporting dark circles under his eyes, stood at the entrance of the Tianfu Pet Trading Market, his brows slightly furrowed.

The air in the trading market was filled not only with the smells of grass, animal feed, and disinfectant, but also with the stench of pet excrement and some indescribable fermentation, which was quite overpowering.

"That was a bit impulsive, wasn't it?"

Lin Zhixia covered her nose, but her eyes were full of curiosity.

After receiving a huge donation of 100,000 yuan yesterday, I mentioned to my dorm that I was going to the market to buy goods early this morning.

After hearing this, Lin Zhixia immediately expressed her interest in coming along to broaden her horizons.

Today she changed into a light-colored coat paired with a short skirt, her legs were wrapped in thin black stockings, and she wore a pair of brand-new leather shoes.

If this outfit were seen by the guy at the porridge bar, he would definitely exclaim from the bottom of his heart, "It tastes really good!"

Although Su Mo was looking at Lin Zhixia's feet, his attention was not on them, but on the little leather shoes.

Looking at Lin Zhixia's shoes, Su Mo couldn't help but think of the pink bear slippers that cost 36,800 yuan.

The thought that the bear slippers had been elevated from everyday items to academic relics made Su Mo shake his head.

The two then endured the stench and walked side by side into the market.

"So this is how the pet trading market works."

Lin Zhixia sighed softly as she looked around curiously.

As soon as they entered the gate, the two saw the Fire Feather Chicken on the stall sneeze, spitting out a small amount of sparks that almost burned the stall owner's eyebrows.

The bubble frog was squatting in the glass tank, puffing out its cheeks and blowing bubbles.

Miss Lin found everything in the market new and exciting.

Her attention was drawn to the three-tailed civet cat one moment and to the flying mouse eating nuts the next.

As she passed by an iron cage, she saw a groundhog inside, grunting and rooting around a feed trough. She actually reached out and tried to touch it.

Seeing this, Su Mo grabbed the back of her collar and pulled her back half a step.

"Don't touch it."

"why?"

"When this thing is startled, the thorns on its back will spring out."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixia silently withdrew her hand and obediently followed Su Mo beside her.

Seeing that the young lady had become obedient, Su Mo glanced at the approval form in his hand.

[Pseudo-wolf Sample Expansion and Retesting Plan]

[Purchase Permission: One low-tier common pet, a pseudo-wolf]

[Procurement Expenses: Reimbursement of Project Funding]

The two walked further into the pet market.

Lin Zhixia was watching the spectacle, while Su Mo was focused on the price.

[Juvenile Fire Pattern Dog: 48000]

[Low-Tier Wind-Tailed Fox: 72000]

[Water Spirit Sable: 98000. Gentle and affectionate, suitable for companion-type Beast Tamers.]

Su Mo gasped as he looked at the string of numbers that was about to break six digits.

Ninety-eight thousand.

I bought a mink that's not even as long as my forearm.

Is the mink fur made of gold, or is the mink meat made of gold?

Although he currently has 100,000 yuan in start-up capital sponsored by Lin Zhixia and is also under the college's research funding, Su Mo is still very sensitive to prices after being poor for so many years.

Lin Zhixia, on the other hand, watched with great interest: "Senior, this water mink is so cute."

Su Mo nodded calmly: "She is quite cute."

Don't you think its eyes are beautiful?

"pretty."

"Then why do you look so serious?"

Su Mo stared at the price tag of 98,000 and said quietly, "I'm thinking, if you pluck a single hair from its tail, it would probably be worth a week's worth of dog food for Fugui."

Lin Zhixia: "..."

The two wandered around the market for most of the time before finally finding their way to the low-priced pet section.

The smell here was noticeably more complex and pungent, and even the iron cages holding the pets were covered in mottled rust.

Walking to the very back, a middle-aged stall owner was sitting on a small stool, cracking sunflower seeds.

Behind him were several large iron cages, inside which were several silver-gray pseudo-wolves.

Judging by its appearance alone, this thing is indeed impressive.

With its broad shoulders and back, fluffy fur, and especially its icy blue eyes, it truly exudes the domineering aura of a snow wolf king.

If you took a still close-up shot, it would definitely be suitable as the cover of a brochure for a high-end pet store.

At this moment, the stall owner saw Su Mo and Lin Zhixia stop in front of the cage and immediately perked up, saying, "Students, looking at pets?"

"Look at the fake wolf."

Su Mo waved the approval form in his hand and said, "I need a healthy, purebred pseudo-wolf, preferably with a distinct personality."

Upon hearing this, the stall owner first sized up Su Mo, then glanced at the elegantly dressed Lin Zhixia beside him, and finally fixed his gaze on Su Mo's face, asking in a serious tone, "Classmate, are you sure?"

Su Mo nodded.

Seeing that Su Mo was serious, the stall owner continued, "I do business with a conscience."

"The fake wolf looks intimidating, but it's actually a lot of trouble."

"Other than destroying the house, chewing up slippers, and being chased by the big white goose, it's basically useless after you buy it."

"If you just want something that looks nice, then you can buy it. But if you're looking for something that's actually good in a race, I suggest you look next door. The finless fowl over there may be a bit ugly, but at least they're fast."

Upon hearing the words "biting into slippers," Lin Zhixia subconsciously turned her head to glance at Su Mo.

However, Su Mo's expression remained unchanged.

"It's ok."

Su Mo said, "I didn't buy the fake wolf for actual combat."

The stall owner breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I can keep it as a pet dog..."

The next second, Su Mo added seriously, "I did it so that it could learn math."

Upon hearing this, the stall owner's expression froze for a moment, then he turned to look at Lin Zhixia beside him, his eyes clearly questioning, as if to say: Girl, were you deceived by this handsome but obviously mentally dangerous boy?
