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

But now, Su Mo is typing "[Early Childhood Arithmetic Learning]" into the search box.

Pressing Enter brought up a colorful list of search results, all featuring animal-themed covers.

Su Mo browsed for a moment, then felt the intensity wasn't enough, so he continued typing.

[Full-color illustrated version of addition and subtraction within 100]

[Multiplication Table with Big Speaker Voice Broadcast Version]

[BabyBus-style math problem]

Before long, the shopping cart was filled with more and more items.

Administrator Zhou stood behind Su Mo, looking at the BabyBus-themed products, early childhood education selections, and talking multiplication tables on the screen. He couldn't help but pinch his brow, feeling his blood pressure soaring.

"Su Mo".

Administrator Zhou took a deep breath and said, "Are you sure the finance department won't call the police and arrest us when they see this special project funding reimbursement form? No one would approve this procurement list, would they?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo immediately responded, "Manager Zhou, you need to broaden your perspective. We're not buying these things for our own selfish reasons, so why would the finance department call the police?"

At this point, Su Mo pointed to the megaphone multiplication table on the screen and said emphatically, "As the saying goes, a tall building starts from the ground up. Even a spiritual edifice must start with laying the foundation from 'one times one equals one'."

Administrator Zhou looked at Su Mo's self-righteous expression, then glanced at the fake wolves sprawled out in the cubicle.

Well, since Dean Zheng has already appointed Su Mo as the person in charge, what else can I say?

Anyway, I'm not the one who signed or spoke; I'm just a middleman. Let them do whatever they want, as long as they don't cause trouble later.

Administrator Zhou sighed, utterly exhausted, then expressionlessly reached out and pressed the left mouse button as if to send off his career.

[Funding approved]

Su Mo looked at the approval message that popped up on the screen and patted Administrator Zhou on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"Manager Zhou, this is the courage to dedicate yourself to the cause of beast taming research."

Administrator Zhou silently turned his swivel chair around, leaving Su Mo with a weary back view, clearly not wanting to say another word.

Compared to the mentally exhausted Administrator Zhou, Shen Qinghe's emotions were very stable.

She sat upright at the recording desk, her expression meticulous, her fingertips tapping away on the keyboard.

Su Mo claimed to be teaching literacy, but in Shen Qinghe's experimental log, it was automatically translated into a completely different style.

[Experimental protocol adjustment: The current natural samples exhibited severe stress responses under higher-order stimuli, therefore instruction has been immediately terminated.]

[A new transitional stage, "Basic Cognitive Development," has been added.]

[Speculation: The original experimental subject, Fugui, may have developed a foundation of lateral logical cognition due to his long-term exposure to a high-density academic environment.]

The remaining samples lack prior cognitive accumulation and need to fill in the underlying logic starting with basic symbol recognition, quantity concepts, and direction perception.

As she typed, Shen Qinghe paused slightly, glanced at the "Early Childhood Arithmetic Primer" she had just ordered, took a deep breath expressionlessly, and then added another line.

[Recommendation: To avoid overwhelming your pet with too much cognitive leap and causing their brain to malfunction, the first stage of logic building can begin with basic mathematical concepts.]

At this moment, Su Mo wandered over unnoticed, leaned in front of the screen to read the entire log, and gave it a thumbs up in amazement.

"Student Shen, to be honest, with your skills in academic polishing, it would be a real shame if you didn't get first authorship."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghe turned her head and looked at Su Mo seriously, then shook her head and said, "No, the core value of this report is entirely based on your inspiration."

Shen Qinghe turned to look at the fake wolves, her tone unusually complex as she sighed, "If I were to investigate the reasons for the experiment's failure, I would simply follow conventional thinking and compare their gene sequence profiles and neurotransmitter abnormalities..."

"I probably never imagined in my life that they would have a mental breakdown..."

Shen Qinghe paused, seemingly still trying to process this outrageous fact.

"It's because they didn't go through nine years of compulsory education, and their basic math skills are too poor..."

Su Mo stroked his chin, accepting the praise without hesitation, and nodded in deep agreement: "Indeed, this is what you call the mental barrier in academia."

Shen Qinghe: "..."

More than half an hour later.

With the sound of flapping wings, the college's dedicated delivery bird tossed a cardboard box with a cartoon design onto the laboratory door.

Su Mo excitedly cut open the tape.

The moment the cardboard box was opened, a strong early education atmosphere wafted out, filled with colorful children's early learning products.

A big red apple with yellow lettering, a smiling yellow banana, and a blue car with eyes drawn on it.

And a full-color multiplication table wall chart, over a meter long and already laminated.

Chapter 26 Academic Exchange is This Simple and Primitive

Lin Zhixia held a book titled "Number Enlightenment That Three-Year-Olds Can Understand," printed with a cartoon bear, in her hand. She then looked up at the multi-million-dollar spectrum analyzer next to her and felt a sense of absurdity rush to her head.

Then Lin Zhixia swallowed and whispered, "Senior Su... can what we're doing now really still be called an 'evolutionary experiment'?"

Su Mo was struggling to unfold the multiplication table, and without turning his head, he said, "How can it not count? It's just that our research field is quite advanced, and we're currently in uncharted territory."

Lin Zhixia looked down and glanced again at the cartoon bear that was grinning foolishly at her.

This "no man's land"... is indeed avant-garde to the point of being almost deserted.

What followed was a bizarre and transformative laboratory renovation.

In front of the alloy partition room of the five fake wolves, where the screens displaying various physiological monitoring data used to hang, a mini multiplication table has been pasted on.

Directly in front of each fake wolf's gaze hangs a custom-made fruit arithmetic diagram.

不仅有1个苹果+1个苹果=2个苹果，苏墨为了照顾这群样本的“风土人情”，还非常贴心地用马克笔在旁边加上了“2根骨头+1根骨头=3根骨头”等本土化教材。

"drop!"

The main control screen lit up again.

This time, what came out of the speakers was a cheerful, childlike, and extremely loud electronic synthesized sound.

Accompanied by the background music of "ding-dong-dong-dong," a cartoon puppy wearing a red scarf hops into the screen, carrying a red apple in its mouth.

The voice-over was so sweet it sent chills down your spine: "Hello, children! Here's an apple!"

Immediately afterwards, another cartoon dog jumped out.

"Another apple has arrived! So, how many apples are there if we add one apple to another?"

"That's equal to two apples!"

The high-tech laboratory echoes with the joyful sounds of early childhood education.

Surprisingly, an eerie silence fell over the scene.

The number one fake wolf stopped frantically scratching at the wall.

The second fake wolf also stopped convulsing.

Even the most cowardly Zhao Cai didn't stick his head into the crack in the floor this time; all five fake wolves stared intently at the screen.

Seeing this, Lin Zhixia's eyes lit up slightly, and she excitedly clung to the glass, saying, "Senior Su, look, it seems to really work!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo nodded with a smile.

But just as Lin Zhixia finished speaking, a muffled thud came from the observation room.

Suddenly, the fake wolf number one leaped up and crashed solidly into the glass, opening its blood-red maw to bite the cartoon dog on the screen.

With it taking the lead, the other fake wolves instantly revealed their true colors.

The second fake wolf stared intently at the multiplication table poster in front of him, then stretched out his paw and tore off a large piece with a ripping sound, chewing it with relish.

The third fake wolf stared at the poster of "dog food bowl plus dog food bowl" in deep thought, his mouth starting to drool uncontrollably, dripping onto the floor.

The fourth fake wolf was the most agile. He ripped off the slipper card in front of him, then skillfully lay down on the ground and hid the card under his butt. The whole sequence of movements was smooth and fluid.

As for attracting wealth...

Zhao Cai stared blankly at its hopping companion on the screen, then slowly turned its head and stared at Lin Zhixia with a look of utter despair.

The meaning of that look in his eyes is very straightforward:

It doesn't want to learn 1+1; it wants to go home.

As Su Mo watched this scene, the smile on his lips gradually froze.

What the hell is going on?

Looking at the poster debris flying everywhere and the fake wolf drooling over the screen, Su Mo couldn't help but mentally rant.

sloppy.

In the end, I was just being too presumptuous.

Su Mo originally thought that reducing the difficulty to the level of "BabyBus" would at least awaken the thirst for knowledge of this group of illiterate people.

But now it seems that these guys' initiative in learning is more touching than the Siberian cold wind!

Simply showing a cold, impersonal instructional video is like playing music to a wolf.

Without comparison, there is no harm; Su Mo couldn't help but recall the "glorious years" of wealth and honor.

Back when Fugui was forced to audit advanced mathematics classes, he at least used a series of actions such as frantically scratching at the door, rolling his eyes, and even pretending to be dead to express his strong resistance to knowledge.
