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

As soon as this announcement was released, the number of people who booked Su Mo's live stream visibly increased.

In less than half an hour, the number of reservations exceeded one million.

Countless low-level beast tamers, evolution researchers, and even those capital giants all turned their attention to Su Mo's live stream.

Everyone knows that increasing wind attribute affinity is just the foundation of Su Mo's hypothesis.

Whether the velvet worm can break the ironclad rule of metamorphosis and achieve a life leap across species is the key to shattering all rumors!

Once the evolution is successful, it will not only mean that Su Mo's hypothesis of elongation adaptation will be successfully established, but also that the green velvet worms, which are so numerous that they have become a plague throughout the Federation, will have a completely new evolutionary path!

8 PM.

As soon as Su Mo started his live stream, the number of viewers began to surge rapidly at a visible speed.

Current number of online users: 27

Current number of online users: 89

[Current number of online users: 153 million!]

The dense barrage of comments completely flooded the screen.

[Here it comes! I've been waiting in the live stream room for an hour!]

Is the Azure Dragon really going to evolve today?

[Number 18 has already learned to float, and Azure Dragon's talent is even stronger than Number 18's; he'll definitely succeed!]

[I'm Lin Fei's classmate, Su Shen, could you please check my private messages? Lin Fei is still hugging Xiao Chong and grinning like an idiot after seeing your message!]

[Don't be so quick to exaggerate! Increasing wind affinity and completing racial evolution are two completely different things. The life level of the Green Velvet Worm is what it is; trying to overcome species barriers with a few potions is not that simple.]

[Don't leave yet, experts! You're going to be dragged out and interrogated again soon!]

In the live broadcast, the laboratory has now been fully renovated.

In the center of the room was a wind tunnel, around which were arranged mental monitoring devices, elemental fluctuation detectors, vital sign monitoring equipment, and emergency protective arrays.

Important figures such as Lin Zhixia, Xu Qingshan, Professor Sun, and Zheng Huai'an were all present.

Lu Junfeng and He Ya stood guard beside the emergency equipment, their expressions so tense that they looked as if they were about to evolve.

Even Fugui squatted to the side with his slippers in his mouth, his eyes fixed on the wind tunnel.

As for tonight's main character, the Azure Dragon, it was perched on Su Mo's shoulder, its two antennae swaying gently.

At this moment, Su Mo stood in front of the camera and raised his hand to signal the live stream to quiet down.

Good evening, everyone.

Su Mo faced the camera and said, "After the initial elongation training and the adaptation of three rounds of wind attribute affinity potions, the Azure Dragon's current physiological and energy data have reached the evolutionary threshold I set."

As Su Mo finished speaking, the latest test results for Qinglong quickly appeared on the large screen.

[Experimental Subject: Azure Dragon]

[Race: Blue Velvet Worm]

[Level: LV15]

Body extension rate: 92.7%

【Wind attribute affinity index: 96.3%】

[Currently Mastered Skills: Silk Shot, Flying Kick, Levitation]

[Physical condition: Excellent]

When the 96.3% wind attribute affinity appeared, the live stream chat exploded with comments.

Holy crap! 96.3?!

[This wind attribute affinity is higher than many purebred wind-type pets!]

[Is Su Shen's potion that terrifying? Even with such a high wind affinity, the Green Velvet Worm hasn't hatched!]

When will Su Shen's medicine finally be available? I want to get my little cat, Green Caterpillar, three bottles right now!

[Calm down, everyone. The medicine hasn't been distributed yet. You should finish stretching exercises for your own insects first!]

Looking at the scrolling comments, Su Mo continued to explain, "Everyone, please don't get excited."

"The effect of wind affinity is simply to form a thin film inside the body of the velvet to hold the enormous energy required for evolution."

"For this energy to circulate within the Green Velvet Worm, the Azure Dragon needs to maintain a state of 'levitation' in the wind tunnel for thirty consecutive minutes."

"Only through prolonged and high-intensity skill release can the wind attribute energy accumulated in the fur, segments, and muscles be activated, thus forming a cycle."

As Su Mo explained, the researchers and scholars in the live stream nodded in agreement.

Su Mo's idea sounded incredibly bold, but upon closer inspection, it actually made a lot of sense.

Continuously releasing skills to squeeze out potential and stimulate the element cycle is a common breakthrough method in the cultivation field.

But what truly intrigued them was the final step in evolution.

What about the core material for breaking down racial barriers?

[Simply using levitation abilities isn't enough for the green worm to complete its cross-species evolution, is it?]

[Is that even a question? Su Shen must have prepared a high-level wind-elemental crystal core!]

[I think the Wind and Cloud Fruit might also be a possibility; that thing can violently detonate the wind-elemental energy within a pet's body for a short period of time.]

[I bet it's Heavenly Wind Essence from the Cloud Sea Secret Realm! That stuff is perfect for wind-type insect pets to molt!]

Looking at the list of resources in the comments section, each worth six or seven figures, Su Mo thought about what he was about to announce and tried to keep a straight face, saying, "You are all right."

"To complete its final transformation, the Azure Dragon needs a strong external stimulus to detonate the wind-attribute energy circulating within its body."

"At the very beginning of the project, I did consider using high-order wind-based crystal nuclei."

"Through our research group's rigorous calculations, we have found that the energy of high-order wind-type crystal cores is very stable, which can indeed ensure the Azure Dragon completes its evolution with the highest probability."

As soon as Su Mo said this, several wind-element experts who were secretly watching the live stream immediately showed expressions of "I knew it."

Meanwhile, the executives of Fengxi Resources Company, who were paying attention to the live broadcast, breathed a sigh of relief.

Ultimately, no matter how much Su Mo tries, his final evolution still cannot bypass the high-level resources they monopolize!

As long as Su Mo still needs wind-element crystal cores, the mines and secret realms they possess will remain irreplaceable cash cows.

At most, it just means less income from medicine.

Although I have less money, it's better than having no money at all.

But the next second, Su Mo suddenly changed the subject and sighed, "However... even the cheapest high-level wind-element crystal core has a market price starting at 300,000."

"This not only far exceeds my personal financial resources, but also seriously violates our research group's consistent commitment to cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and people-oriented scientific research!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Xu Qingshan's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Every time this guy starts emphasizing democratization and low cost, what he pulls out next will absolutely shatter the entire academic world's values.

Next, under the expectant gaze of millions of pairs of eyes across the internet, Su Mo took out a delivery box from the drawer.

The yellow tape on the outer packaging of this express box was still attached, and the dusty cardboard box looked out of place in the laboratory.

When the live stream camera automatically zoomed in and focused on the Pinduoduo group-buying label on the side of the express box, the air in the entire live stream room seemed to freeze.

Several lines of large characters were printed on it:

[New customer exclusive! Original price 99.9, limited-time group purchase subsidy 39.9, free shipping to your door!]

Xu Qingshan stared at the words "39.9 yuan with free shipping" on the express delivery slip, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

Just as viewers across the internet were wondering what Su Mo would use as a substitute, Su Mo tore open the express box and pulled out a pair of crudely made VR glasses with cartoon patterns printed on them from a pile of foam.

Upon seeing this, the viewers in the entire live stream were stunned.

【? 】

[A VR headset for 39.9 yuan? Is this the affordable alternative you're talking about?]

[Professor Xu, stop him! This man's research is starting to veer towards the underworld!]

At this moment, Professor Sun asked incredulously, "Xiao Su, what are you going to do with this?"

"Complete the final evolutionary stimulus."

Su Mo explained naturally, "Breaking through racial barriers essentially requires a powerful external stimulus to ignite the energy accumulated within the pet's body. Since high-level wind-elemental crystal cores are too expensive..."

Su Mo raised the VR glasses in his hand and solemnly announced, "We can completely replace it with mental fright."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo tapped twice on the terminal, and a movie playback interface popped up next to the live stream.

On the pitch-black cover, a blood-red monster bird with a rotting body and eyes that are about to pop out stares intently at the screen: "Midnight Ghost: The Gaze of the Blood-Eyed Ghost Bird".

[Holy crap! They showed Blue Velvet the scariest R-rated horror movie on the internet?!]

[What the hell?! A shockingly powerful replacement crystal core! Azure Dragon, run! This guy's trying to scare you into evolving!]

As if sensing everyone's worry, the Azure Dragon perched on Su Mo's shoulder stiffened and quietly shrank into Su Mo's collar.

Seeing this, Fugui, who was squatting not far away, wisely picked up his slippers and quietly retreated to the corner of the wall.

"Don't worry, it's just watching a movie."
