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

However, to reassure the two, Su Mo added two more paragraphs to the end of the project: to train the mental strength of the green worms to adapt to their elongated bodies.

Cut off the energy flow to the back and direct it to the torso and pubic hair.

Professor Sun looked at the two added paragraphs and nodded.

Although he didn't quite believe this evolutionary path could succeed from the perspective of conventional evolution, he was impressed by Su Mo's willingness to listen to advice.

This study still has verification value.

Ultimately, with Xu Qingshan's approval and Professor Sun's endorsement, the college readily approved a small-scale pre-research project.

The allocated resources were not excessive: fifty live blue worms, a small wind tunnel training room, a complete set of basic physiological testing equipment, two graduate assistants, and initial funding of 30,000 yuan.

Before leaving, Xu Qingshan patted Su Mo on the shoulder and said earnestly, "The wholesale price of a single green worm is only a few dozen yuan. This 30,000 yuan budget is enough for you to make them live a life of unbridled pleasure."

That afternoon, fifty plump, white worms were packed up and delivered to the research institute.

Looking at the chubby green creatures lying in the incubator, Su Mo's gaze swept over the system panel:

[Current False Evolutionary Pathway: The Elongation Adaptation Hypothesis of the Blue Velvet]

[Progress in converting fake into real: 0.0%]

Seeing that the progress of turning the fake into the real was zero percent, Su Mo did not start a live broadcast immediately. After all, he was not the only one researching the evolution path; there were two other people involved as well.

If the other two are unwilling to appear in the live stream, then I will have to rearrange things.

Thinking of this, Su Mo closed the system panel and turned to look at the graduate student assistant next to him.

The two graduate assistants are a man and a woman; the man's name is Lu Junfeng, and the woman's name is He Ya.

Thanks to the success of the Super Brain Gravity Dog, Su Mo's name became the most talked-about person in the school and the Department of Evolution.

Therefore, upon hearing that Su Mo was going to start a new research project, these two graduate students fought tooth and nail to secure the assistant positions.

Chapter 67: Such a wonderful start

Seeing the two of them eagerly waiting for him to assign them tasks, Su Mo cleared his throat and said, "Welcome to the research group, senior students."

"Haha, junior Su, it's a great honor to join the research group!"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Lu Junfeng and He Ya quickly responded.

Su Mo nodded and continued, "Before we officially begin the research project, there's something I need to tell you in advance."

Hearing Su Mo's words, Lu Junfeng and He Ya exchanged a glance and quickly replied, "Junior Su, please tell us what to do. We will definitely accept your arrangements."

Seeing that the two of them suddenly became nervous, Su Mo waved his hand and said, "It's like this, I plan to broadcast most of the experiment live online."

"This is part of building momentum for the new format, and also to facilitate its faster rollout later."

“But since it’s a live broadcast, you two as assistants will inevitably appear on camera frequently.”

Su Mo looked at the two of them and said, "So I want to confirm if you have any concerns about showing your faces online? If you really mind, I can adjust the division of labor and try to arrange for you to assist off-camera."

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, He Ya's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly said, "Junior Su, I'm fine!"

He Ya was not surprised that Su Mo would be doing a live stream.

After all, Su Mo was live-streaming the entire process when he announced his discovery of the super-brain gravity dog ​​hypothesis.

It's quite normal for new research projects to be conducted entirely via live stream these days.

Compared to He Ya's quick response, Lu Junfeng was much calmer.

He took a deep breath and asked, "Junior Su, what I want to ask is, if this project is ultimately successful, can I be listed as an author on the paper?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo gave him a serious look and then explained, "If we succeed in the end, we will naturally be credited. As for the order, it will be based on our contributions."

"Experimental design, data collection, theoretical supplementation, and practical work will all be included in the final contribution."

"Whoever does more work will have their name listed first in the credits."

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Junfeng immediately relaxed.

As a second-year graduate student, his biggest fear is doing all the work himself, but not even having his name on the thesis.

Now that Su Mo has laid out all the rules, he naturally has no reason to refuse.

As for being live-streamed the entire time?

He'd even wear women's clothes if he could get credit!

Seeing that both of them agreed to the live stream, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction and then led them into the green worm breeding room.

That afternoon, Su Mo's account and Tianfu University's official account jointly released a project announcement.

[Su Mo's second brand-new evolutionary research project is about to begin!]

[Research subject: Blue woolly worm.]

[Research Direction: Elongation of the Blue Velvet Worm and its Adaptive Evolution Based on Wind Attributes.]

[Research Objective: To break away from the traditional evolutionary path of the Green Leaf Moth and cultivate a new type of long-bodied wind-attribute pet.]

The news was quickly shared by netizens who had been following Su Mo's account and Tianfu University's account.

Although it has been almost a month since Fugui evolved into the Super Brain Gravity Dog, the hype surrounding the Super Brain Gravity Dog has not completely dissipated.

The online community, including many pseudo-wolf beast tamers, continues to pay close attention to Su Mo.

Therefore, as soon as the announcement about Su Mo and Tianfu University was released, netizens flocked to the comment section.

[Has Su Sheng just finished teaching Pseudo-Wolf advanced mathematics, and now he's already targeting the Green Velvet Worm?]

[What does "elongated body" mean? Does it mean stretching a mitten worm to both sides?]

[You're in a bit of hell, up ahead.]

My vegetable garden is full of hairy caterpillars; I'll send a whole sack of them to Su Sheng tomorrow.

[Seriously, these little green worms have research value? I really don't understand.]

[Hehe, you guys said before that fake wolves had no research value, but then this super-brain gravity dog ​​popped up!]

Indeed, I'm quite looking forward to seeing what kind of evolution the blue mitten will undergo!

[It is suggested that Tianfu University open a "Green Velvet Sword Body Class" tomorrow, which would perfectly complement the "Pseudo-Wolf Advanced Mathematics Class."]

To be honest, I felt that Su Mo's success last time was just pure luck. This time, with this green worm, I have a feeling it's going to backfire.

Indeed, this research topic is even more outlandish than the evolution of the fake wolf; I'm not optimistic about it for now.

At this moment, a large number of doubts, jokes, and expectations intertwined, providing Su Mo's system with a great deal of recognition.

As his awareness of the virus grew, Su Mo adjusted his breathing.

Now that it has the Superbrain Gravity Hound evolutionary path as its backing, the start of the Green Velvet evolutionary path should be much better than when it was with the Superbrain Gravity Hound.

The progress of Superbrain Gravity Dog was 0.3 at the beginning, so the progress of Mealybug should be around 0.7 or 0.8 now.

Thinking of this, Su Mo took a deep breath and slowly opened the system.

[Current False Evolutionary Pathway: The Hypothesis of Elongated Evolution of the Blue Velvet Worm into the Cloud-like Elongated Worm]

[Social discussion continues to rise.]

[Progress in converting fake into real: 2.5%]

Two and a half percent!

Seeing this, Su Mo was stunned.

Although Su Mo had thought that this start would be good, he did not expect it to be this good!

In just over an hour, I surpassed what I had done in a whole day!

Since things have started so smoothly, I can't afford to slack off now!

With that in mind, Su Mo immediately took out a schedule from the drawer and began to plan the next steps.

The next morning, Professor Sun arrived at Su Mo's research institute.

Now, with the assistance of He Ya and Lu Junfeng, the fifty velvet caterpillars have completed their numbering and basic testing. Some caterpillars are lying in the incubator eating leaves, some are sleeping on the leaves, and some are huddled together for half a leaf.

Looking around, the box was full of round, bluish-green lumps of meat.

Looking at the blue worms in the incubator, Teacher Sun turned to Su Mo and said, "Su... I'll call you Little Su from now on, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo quickly replied, "No problem! I'll call you Old Master Sun from now on!"

Professor Sun asked, "Xiao Su, tell me again how you plan to breed them next? Are you planning to pick one from here and start training right away?"

"No."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo responded while taking out a pre-prepared plan and said, "Although these fifty green worms are similar in size, level and physical condition, there are still individual differences."

"If you choose samples randomly, it will be difficult to determine whether the results come from the training program or the individual's own talent after the experiment is successful."

As Su Mo spoke, he pointed to the training plan and said, "So I plan to group them together for comparison."

Chapter 68 The Velvet Worm's First Live Broadcast

Professor Sun followed Su Mo's finger and saw that there were five groups listed: natural control group, segment extension group, airflow adaptation group, comprehensive experimental group, and reserve sample group.
