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

Su Mo, as the founder of the sect, was responsible for formulating the training program.

As for tasks like measuring anchor points, preparing teaching materials, cleaning the training ground, and coaxing the pseudo-wolves who were tormented by mathematics to the point of pretending to be dead... these trivial matters were assigned to the miserable graduate students and research group assistants in the Department of Evolution.

So these top students researching pet evolution spent their days carrying snacks, slippers, balls, and flashcards, chasing after different fake wolves in the training field, asking them questions:

"Sweetie, do you like this toy?"

Are you afraid of this?

"My God, I've been praising you for half an hour, can't your mental curve rise a little bit?!"

"Hey! Don't bite the detector! This thing is really expensive!"

And what about Su Mo?

All they have to do is sit comfortably in their office and read the summary reports they submit every day.

Even in special circumstances, a sentence or two of targeted guidance can be given at that time.

As for the rest of the time? I'll just drink tea and read papers.

Su Mo was very satisfied with this kind of carefree life.

I have finally achieved a great leap in social class, from a professional laborer in the sinkhole to a top project manager!

Most importantly, my current benefits are top-notch, with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan, a permanent position, and the highest level of social insurance and housing fund contributions!

No wonder everyone in academia wants to be a top expert and lead research projects; the feeling of being in control is indeed addictive.

With the mass production plan on track, Su Mo was finally able to free up his energy to begin planning the research on the next evolutionary path.

At this moment, Su Mo was sitting at his desk, with more than a dozen pet encyclopedias piled up in front of him.

Fugui was comfortably sprawled on the sofa, a slipper still dangling from his mouth, glancing at Su Mo every now and then, afraid that he would suddenly pull out some teaching material to torture him again.

However, Su Mo ignored Fu Gui's little tricks, picked up a pen, and wrote down the selection criteria for the second topic on the paper.

The first condition is the same as the original condition for the fake wolf: the pet must be cheap, preferably something a poor student could buy by saving up a meal's worth of money.

Although Su Mo now earns over 10,000 yuan a month, surpassing the income of 95% of ordinary people in the Federation, he has not forgotten the path he came from.

Having the "Refining the False into the True" system within oneself, one must broaden one's perspective.

I want to make sure that every low-level beast tamer in the world can have a pet that can change their destiny!

The second condition is that the number of pets must be large.

Because there are enough of them, beast tamers can easily acquire pets, and the evolution path can spread rapidly.

Thirdly, the evolution path of the pet must be sufficiently useless. If the pet already has good training value, then creating a fake evolution path is not very meaningful.

Having clarified his direction, Su Mo opened the illustrated guide and began filtering through the entries quickly.

Gray beetle, mud rat, sweet cat...

At this moment, Su Mo's finger stopped on one of the pages.

The illustration in the encyclopedia features a round, emerald-green caterpillar.

This caterpillar has two short, adorable antennae on its head, tiny legs on its abdomen, and a leaf in its mouth, exuding a natural, innocent foolishness.

[Pet: Green Velvet Worm]

[Type: Bug]

[Cultivation Evaluation: Extremely Low]

[Note: Wild populations are rampant and reproduce rapidly. Its conventional evolutionary form is the "Green Leaf Moth," but due to the strong allergenicity of its scales, which can easily cause respiratory discomfort in humans, it is not recommended to keep it indoors or in densely populated urban areas.]

Looking at the dull-looking green worm in the encyclopedia, Su Mo suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The shape of this thing is exactly the same as the caterpillar in a game I played before I transmigrated!

No, strictly speaking, the Green Velvet Worm's status in the Beast Taming World is much lower than that of the Caterpillar.

Because there are simply too many green velvet worms in this world, and they have absolutely no combat ability, even if you were to cultivate them, it would be a waste of resources.

As for the caterpillar, there was a bizarre meme circulating on the internet in the previous life—as long as the caterpillar lives long enough, it can eventually evolve into the legendary beast Sky Dragon!

Of course, that was just a prank created by players using cheat codes, and shouldn't be taken seriously.

But things are different now.

With my own system for transforming the fake into the real, I am fully capable of making this a reality!

Even more coincidentally, in this world of beast taming, there is also a top-tier mythical pet beast with a similar status to the Sky-Splitting Dragon—the Azure Dragon of the Void!

Thinking of this, Su Mo quickly found the "Mythical Pet Compendium" and flipped through it rapidly, finally stopping at a magnificent illustration that occupied a large double-page spread.

In the scene, above the boundless, rolling sea of ​​clouds, a giant azure dragon is coiled high in the sky.

The dragon's horns, pointing straight to the sky, and its azure scales were surrounded by visible wisps of air.

Although it is just a still illustration, it exudes a magnificent atmosphere, as if the entire sky is rotating with its spiral.

Mythical Pet: Azure Dragon of the Void

[Type: Dragon, Wind]

[Unique Known Evolution Path:] → [Azure Cloud Serpent] [Wind-Riding Giant Python] → [Azure Horned Cloud Dragon] → [Void Azure Dragon]

The Azure Cloud Serpent is itself a rare dragon-blooded pet beast.

Let alone evolution, the price of an unhatched Azure Cloud Serpent egg alone is equivalent to a lifetime's work for an ordinary beast tamer.

The high-level wind-elemental materials, cloud sea secret realm resources, and dragon blood stabilizers required for subsequent evolution are firmly controlled by a few wealthy families and top-tier breeding institutions.

For ordinary people, even the Azure Dragon of the Void is not a dream.

Because they might spend their entire lives without ever touching a single scale of the Azure Cloud Serpent.

Su Mo looked at the azure dragon in the encyclopedia, then turned to look at the picture of the blue velvet worm next to it.

The gap between the two is beyond description.

One at the very bottom of the pet food chain.

A mythical dragon species that soars above the nine heavens and seas of clouds, a creature that countless beast tamers can only look up to.

No normal person would ever connect them.

If anyone dares to say that the Green Velvet Worm can eventually evolve into the Azure Dragon of the Void, they will definitely be treated as a mental patient and thrown into an asylum.

But as Su Mo watched, the curve of his lips grew wider and wider, and a mad light flashed in his eyes.

Who says the starting point of the Azure Dragon of the Void can only be the Azure Cloud Serpent?

Since a snake can gradually transform into a jiao (a type of dragon), and then from a jiao into a dragon.

Why can't that insect gradually transform into a dragon?!

Chapter 65 The Evolutionary Path of the Blue Velvet

The biggest challenge in evolving the Green Velvet into the Azure Dragon of the Void lies in the transition between species.

After all, no matter how powerful his system for transforming fakes into real ones is, it still needs to gain public recognition before it can be realized.

If someone were to announce that a caterpillar could take flight and transform into a mythical dragon, not to mention others, even they themselves would find it absurd.

Since we can't achieve it all at once, let's take it one step at a time!

Meanwhile, the precursor form of the Azure Dragon of the Void is the Azure Horned Cloud Dragon, and the precursor of the dragon is a snake.

Since we're moving in this direction, the first step in the evolution of the Green Velvet must be a transformation from its insect form to its snake form, while also laying the foundation for its subsequent wind attribute.

But what kind of form can bridge the gap between insects and snakes, and still make it seem reasonable to the public?

Su Mo pondered in his mind, his gaze sweeping around the room before looking out the window.

Just then, a gymnastics student walked over downstairs, and the ribbon tied around her wrist was fluttering up and down in the wind.

Upon seeing this, Su Mo suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Yes, isn't a ribbon just a long strip?

If you stretch out a green velvet worm, wouldn't it become a long worm?

And in local colloquialisms, isn't a snake called a "long worm"?

Then it evolved from a worm into a snake, which was a natural progression!

Thinking of this, Su Mo's eyes lit up with excitement, and he immediately picked up his pen and began writing rapidly on the manuscript paper.

Now that body shape is sorted out, the next step is attributes.

Since it has a long, ribbon-like body, it's quite normal for it to be light and agile, which also allows it to incorporate the wind attribute.

As the pen scratched across the paper, Su Mo wrote down more and more settings, and an evolutionary path for the Green Velvet Worm gradually became fuller and more complete on the paper.

After a moment, Su Mo put down his pen, looked at the densely packed settings on the manuscript paper, and the finalized name of the pet beast—【Cloud-belted Long Worm】, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, taking advantage of his current inspiration, Su Mo wrote down the subsequent evolutionary path, following the logic of "snake transforming into dragon, dragon transforming into jiao".

In Su Mo's vision, the next stage of the [Cloud-Bound Long Worm] will be the [Heavenly Silk Feathered Serpent], which will then transcend life levels to evolve into the [Cloud-Turning Flood Dragon], and finally leap into the sky to evolve into the [Void Azure Dragon]!

Looking at the evolution path he had completed, Su Mo immediately entered it into the system.
