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

"Two hundred million is indeed an astronomical sum for a student like you, but in Tianfeng Bio's eyes, this amount is not even a fraction of their profits!"

"However, your delaying tactic won't last long."

"Now that they've found you, we can't keep wasting time with them."

Xu Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then decisively said, "It's definitely too late to publish the paper normally. The standard review process takes at least a month. Once Tianfeng Bio realizes you're stalling, they will definitely put pressure on you from the inside and keep your manuscript stuck in the initial review stage!"

"Old Sun and I will get you a joint recommendation from two supervisors for your paper, and see if it can be published in the Federal Journal of Pet Evolution."

"Once the paper is approved, even if Tianfeng Bio tries to pull some tricks, it will be too late!"

Hearing Xu Qingshan's arrangements, Su Mo immediately relaxed and replied, "Then I'll have to trouble Director Xu."

As it turned out, Xu Qingshan acted much faster than Tianfeng Biotechnology reacted.

With the joint endorsement of Xu Qingshan and Professor Sun, as well as the efforts of Tianfu University, the progress of the paper was very rapid.

Of course, as a top journal in the field of beast taming, the "Federal Pet Evolution Journal" would not blindly pass the review simply because of the joint signature of Xu Qingshan and Professor Sun.

On the same day the expedited application was received, the review committee selected three senior breeders to conduct a 48-hour closed-door, blind clinical trial on several mites of different physical conditions using the drug samples submitted by Xu Qingshan.

Initially, when the three senior breeders saw the ingredient report of the drug, they all showed a look of absurdity.

"Windgrass? Green Velvet Hair? Wind Affinity Potion?"

The most senior breeder shook his head repeatedly as he looked at the green velvet worm in the isolation chamber, shaking the materials list in his hand. "You dare to claim that mixing these cheap materials, which cost less than five hundred yuan in total, can increase wind affinity? Isn't that ridiculous!"

"Yes."

Another trainer chimed in with a disdainful tone, "You think this cheap medicine worth a few hundred dollars will work?"

Although they were extremely disapproving and thought it was a pipe dream to make a potion with cheap materials, they had no choice but to comply with the requirements of the review committee.

As the potion was drunk by the green worms, the wind attribute affinity curve on the instrument screen flickered slightly, and then actually began to rise slowly.

"It actually worked?"

One of the young breeders was somewhat surprised.

"What's the panic?"

The most senior trainer shook his head and said, "If he didn't even have this much reaction, he naturally wouldn't have been able to write the paper."

"Just watch, even if you can increase your wind attribute a little now, it's just a temporary boost. In less than half a minute, this bit of wind attribute will dissipate because it can't be absorbed."

The other two trainers agreed wholeheartedly and glanced casually at the observation box, deciding to end the test once the wind attribute energy dropped.

However, as one second, two seconds... even half a minute passed, the wind attribute energy not only did not decrease, but continued to rise.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the green velvet worms that had absorbed wind-attribute energy seemed to have their evolutionary instincts activated, and they actually spit out strands of silk to wrap themselves up.

They've already spun cocoons ahead of schedule!

"This...how is this possible? Not only did it not dissipate, but the energy contained in this lousy potion has actually reached the threshold for cocoon formation!"

Looking at the cocoons of the blue velvet worms inside the isolation chamber, everyone's eyes were filled with undisguised shock.

……

three days later.

Su Mo's paper was officially published in the column of the Federal Journal of Pet Evolution with this miraculous experimental data!

In the abstract of the paper, Su Mo described the measured effects of the drug.

This potion can reliably increase the Wind affinity of the Green Velvet by over 45%, and also reliably increase the Wind affinity of other pets by 30%.

Following this data, Su Mo also attached a cost comparison table with other medicines.

[Traditional medication regimen]

Expected increase in affinity: 30%–40% (accompanied by a higher risk of rejection)

Cost per treatment session: 150000 - 300000 yuan

[New Drug Regimen]

Actual affinity improvement: 45% (rejection rate: 0%)

Cost per preparation: 300-500 yuan

Seeing this extremely exaggerated comparison, the entire breeding and potion industry was immediately in an uproar.

The first reaction of countless researchers upon seeing this set of comparative data was that it was absurd.

My second reaction was to look at the author's name on the paper.

But when they saw the name, they immediately swallowed their doubts.

In the author list, Su Mo's name is listed first, Xu Qingshan is second, and Sun Huaide is the corresponding author.

The back is stamped with the official seal of the Evolutionary Chemistry Department of Tianfu Animal Taming University!

This impressive research team is enough to make most people who are about to launch into a tirade swallow their words.

If only Su Mo, an undergraduate student, were to be listed as an author, they could easily condemn it as sensationalism and academic fraud.

With Xu Qingshan, a pillar of the Department of Evolutionary Chemistry, endorsing it, and Sun Huaide, a leading figure in the field of insectoids, personally overseeing it... anyone who dares to question it should first consider their own standing in the academic world!

As researchers in the academic community were shocked, some shrewd marketing accounts, upon seizing the opportunity, acted like sharks smelling blood, quickly creating videos and sharing the news.

Fueled by the inflammatory rhetoric of marketing accounts, the paper, which originally caused a stir only within the scientific research community, not only broke through the barriers of the audience but also ignited the public's attention!

Five hundred yuan? To make a hairworm spin a cocoon?! You might as well just give it away for free!

[Are you crazy?! Wind affinity potions can be reduced to this cost? Wouldn't all the other companies selling wind affinity potions be lining up to jump off rooftops?]

[A gentle breeze and insect hair... This ridiculous formula sounds cheaper than my pet's dinner, yet it's supposed to outperform potions costing hundreds of thousands? Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?!]

Brothers, Fenglingtai is about to suffer a massive price drop today... hurry and buy the dip!

The storm outside was already unstoppable, but Su Mo's laboratory was very quiet at this moment.

Su Mo nodded in satisfaction as he watched the soaring popularity on the terminal and the rapidly increasing progress of turning the fake into the real thing.

Once this paper is published, Tianfeng Bio's stock price will definitely experience a major earthquake.

The executives of Tianfeng Bio will be overwhelmed with dealing with market panic and shareholder accountability, so they shouldn't have the energy to cause trouble for themselves in the short term.

Thinking of this, Su Mo's gaze fell on the extremely content Azure Dragon.

It's time to sign a soul contract with the Azure Dragon!

Thinking of this, Su Mo turned around and walked to the safe, taking out the Supreme Edition Wind Attribute Affinity Potion.

Then Su Mo opened the temperature-controlled chamber and handed the test tube to Qinglong's mouth.

In fact, the Azure Dragon sensed the wind energy in the test tube and immediately let out a soft chirp, as if urging Su Mo to quickly pour out the medicine.

"You're in quite a hurry, but let me make this clear first: I'll give you the ultimate version of the potion, and then you'll sign a contract with me, okay?"

As Su Mo spoke, he reached out and tapped the Azure Dragon's head.

Although Su Mo could have Fu Gui scare Qinglong first, and then forcibly sign a soul contract while Qinglong was weak.

But as the saying goes, forced love is never sweet.

Su Mo prided himself on being a virtuous gentleman and would never do something like taking advantage of someone in distress.

Naturally, he wanted Qinglong to voluntarily sign a contract with him.

Of course, Su Mo wouldn't force Qinglong if he wasn't willing.

There are countless green velvet worms on the market, can you really not find one that is stronger than the Azure Dragon?

Hearing Su Mo's words, the Azure Dragon nodded impatiently, as if to say, 'What are you hesitating for? Sign the contract now!'

Seeing Qinglong's performance, Su Mo smiled wryly, then poured the premium potion into the basin of water next to him.

Upon seeing this, Qinglong immediately bent down and swallowed the medicine in large gulps.

boom!

As soon as the premium potion entered his body, the Azure Dragon's fur instantly emitted a dazzling azure-gold light that seemed almost tangible!

A massive amount of wind energy erupted within the Azure Dragon's body like a flood bursting its banks.

Following the insectoid physiological instincts, this energy, several times more violent than the regular potion, rushed wildly toward the wing buds on the Azure Dragon's back.

Almost instantly, a bright light shone from the wing buds on the Azure Dragon's back, and the buds swelled up as if they were about to be torn apart by this energy.

However, Qinglong's physical resilience, far exceeding that of Number 18, was fully revealed at this moment.

The assimilating enzyme contained in the premium version of the potion adheres to each of Qinglong's finger joints, forming energy patterns that are constructed and formed under the skin, between the muscles and the hair!

As the Azure Dragon let out a high-pitched, clear cry, the wind element that had been accumulating on its back surged into every inch of its flesh and blood through these flood channels, like rivers flowing into the sea.

"Right now."

Seeing that the Azure Dragon had finished absorbing the wind attribute energy, Su Mo's eyes narrowed, and he quickly activated his mental power.

The next second, blue spiritual energy surged out from Su Mo, quickly outlining a mysterious contract array in the air.

As the magic circle slowly rotated, it gradually enveloped the Azure Dragon.

Once the magic array completely enveloped the Azure Dragon, it quickly shrank, transforming into a stream of light that disappeared into the Azure Dragon's brow!

hum!
