My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 62 Wu Xiaoqing's Talent (Please read on!)

After arriving at Wu Xiaoqing's laboratory, Zhou Lu gave up on the idea.

This kind of joke actually tests a person's emotional intelligence; if you're not careful, you might end up making yourself look like a clown.

Zhou Lu absolutely could not accept making a fool of himself like a monkey trying to attract attention.

He glanced at the fireworks in his arms.

In fact, the most useful aspect of this system is its intelligence and information.

The system rewards are more like unexpected surprises, such as extra drinks or fried skewers given away by the food delivery merchants.

It's great to be able to eat it, but you wouldn't specifically order from this delivery service just because of the freebie.

Skill cards are certainly good, but the information in the system tasks is the most useful thing for Zhou Lu.

In this life, people come and go.

Some are strangers, some are benefactors, and some are misleaders.

For a person to succeed, the ability to discern is extremely important.

Zhou Lu felt that he did not have that ability.

However, the system tasks can tell him very clearly who will provide him with help in the future.

At least from the current perspective, whether it's Wu Xiaoqing, Xiao Xi, Xu Wuhu, or Li Yi, based on their own experience, the system tasks are quite valuable.

Not to mention, the system also indicates the path to obtain materials.

Composing himself, Zhou Lu looked at Wu Xiaoqing, who was studying something.

"How's the analysis going?"

Zhou Lu looked at the mushroom emitting a purple glow in Wu Xiaoqing's hand and asked.

These appear to be mushrooms that Wu Xiaoqing brought back from that professor in New Jersey.

"It's definitely not an accident." Wu Xiaoqing put down the reagent bottle in her hand and said with great certainty, "It was caused by damage from an electric-type skill."

"You mean... that old professor was murdered?"

Wu Xiaoqing nodded and sighed, "Although this guy was a shameless and greedy academic plagiarist, he was still one of my teachers. It's really a pity that he died such a tragic death."

"Academic plagiarism... Could it be his student who did it?" Zhou Lu put down the fireworks, letting it roam freely (to restock some supplies), and then casually remarked.

Why?

"That's how it's portrayed in 'Bleach: Elementary School Boys'," Zhou Lu said, recalling a joke from his past life. He then plopped down next to Wu Xiaoqing, looked at the purple mushroom in the reagent bottle, and said, "You can even detect this in this mushroom? Did it die in an accident or from a spirit pet attack?"

Wu Xiaoqing said proudly, "Of course, this is my masterpiece! It can record the residual scents at the scene or on the corpse, and then use a drug to reproduce the recorded information."

"That's really amazing..." Zhou Lu had already begun to devise techniques for using this mushroom in the secret realm.

"By the way," he said, looking at Wu Xiaoqing, "you said that old professor plagiarized academic work. Did he plagiarize any of your work?"

"What? You still suspect that I did it?" Wu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes.

"Ahem, just asking casually." Zhou Lu simply wanted to attract Wu Xiaoqing's attention so that she wouldn't see Hua Huo working in the mushroom field.

Wu Xiaoqing glanced at Zhou Lu, and she knew exactly what he was thinking.

If she hadn't tacitly approved, Hanabi wouldn't have been able to take a single mushroom with her.

"Why do you think I call him a villain? Let's not talk about the distant past, just this recent example. This guy took a soil sample from who-knows-where and asked me to compare it with that red clay. I'd barely confirmed it when he turned his back on me. It infuriated me!"

At this point, Wu Xiaoqing slapped the table, displaying an air of urgency as if she were about to dig up a grave.

But Zhou Lu was quick to pick up on the information.

"Crude?"

"Yes, although it's not red, its characteristics are similar," Wu Xiaoqing recalled. "That guy seemed to have said it was some kind of Vermilion Bird dung."

Zhou Lu's heart skipped a beat.

The name "Vermilion Bird Dung" is not a simple one.

Since the deceased professor knew this name, did he also know that this was the soil needed to grow the Nine-Lives Herb?

This is combined with the appearance of Tianquan at the Sticky Baby Breeding Base, and the subsequent appearance of the attackers.

If we connect this information online...

"If this soil is really Vermilion Bird dung, why is it red?" Wu Xiaoqing's question interrupted Zhou Lu's thoughts.

"Perhaps it's because the color of the Vermilion Bird is red?"

Wu Xiaoqing pursed her lips: "I think it's because Zhuque is bleeding from his stool."

This is insane blood in my stool!

Zhou Lu's lips twitched slightly; he didn't know how to respond to that.

Wu Xiaoqing has a talent for killing conversations.

"Speaking of which, why would there be a temple in a secret realm?"

"Because there used to be people living in this secret realm. It seems that the Bird Realm was once the territory of the Vermilion Bird Cult in ancient times."

As Wu Xiaoqing spoke, she stood up.

"Alright, since you're here, that's perfect." With that, Wu Xiaoqing summoned her cursed frog.

The cursed frog opened its mouth and spat out several water droplets.

"Take this with you, and come with me to the Bird Realm to explore the Vermilion Bird Temple."

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Is there anything else you need to prepare?" Wu Xiaoqing asked, already taking off her coat.

Lab lab coats are not allowed to be worn outside.

"No, not at all..."

"Let's go then, while I have some free time."

"I get the feeling that you're always so free," Zhou Lu complained.

Wu Xiaoqing glared at Zhou Lu fiercely: "Do you think I'm free? I haven't finished my graduation project yet!"

Zhou Lu's expression turned strange when Wu Xiaoqing's graduation project was mentioned.

Whether it's the juicy, delicious mushroom or the highly poisonous one, both are products of this graduation project.

Judging from Wu Xiaoqing's expression, it seems that she has not yet found a new breakthrough.

Who knows what other weird mushrooms she might conjure up?

"So, what is this?" Zhou Lu looked at the bead-like object that Wu Xiaoqing handed him.

Wu Xiaoqing said, "The Cursed Frog's Purifying Spit can be consumed when you are affected by negative effects, and it can instantly remove the negative status. However, it can only be used once a day for the same person."

She paused, then continued, "You can also take it beforehand. It will prevent you from suffering the initial damage for five minutes, but it can only be effective once a day."

"Wow, that's amazing." Zhou Lu's eyes lit up after hearing this. "No wonder it's a third-tier spirit pet."

Zhou Lu wondered countless times if Wu Xiaoqing had chosen the wrong major.

Judging from the third-tier cursed frog on her shoulder, she is definitely a beast-taming genius at such a young age, having become a third-tier beast tamer.

Judging from the fact that she was able to develop so many strange and unusual mushrooms, she is also a research and development genius.

Well, it's definitely not a material for food research and development.

How did her father manage to lure such a talented person onto the path of researching and developing edible spirit beasts?

Subsequent updates will be around 9 or 10 PM...

Okay, I'll be looking forward to reading more tomorrow. The revival match data will be available tomorrow.
