Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

Splash!

The pages fluttered and landed on the title page.

There are two lines of simple, ancient characters above—

All errors in evolution can be reversed.

The more outrageous the mistake, the more absurd the reversal!

"Sigh, I wanted to experience the life of an ordinary person, but it seems I won't have the chance."

Zhu Ran sighed, feigning nonchalance.

The screen was flooded with comments:

"The child has finally accepted reality. My heart aches for him for three seconds."

"Quickly switch the camera back to Goddess Xiao Yin! I want to admire her stunning beauty!"

"Look, I'm going to watch a succubus pole dance. Link: lsp.yyds"

The number of bullet comments suddenly decreased by one-third.

then.

The number of viewers in the live stream plummeted to 4000 and is still declining at an alarming rate.

"rough!"

In the backstage control room, curses and swearing were constant.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

If it weren't for the erroneous evolution of the broken-winged butterfly, the show "Insect Evolution Battle" would only have around a thousand viewers per episode, and it's just returning to normal now.

"Babies, the final judging will take place at 6 PM tonight. The winner of this competition will be chosen and will share a lucky bag worth 100,000 yuan. Don't miss it!"

Having witnessed the ebb and flow of popularity, Xiao Yin, after reminding the audience, immediately reminded Zhu Ran:

"Congratulations, classmate. The training is coming to an end. You're not a second-life beast tamer, so you must be very tired. Why don't you leave the arena early and take a break?"

Zhu Ran shook his head and asked:

"Anchor Xiao, each person has a funding allowance of 20,000 for this spark worm breeding project."

"I only used six thousand, so theoretically I can continue to use the rest, right?"

The words fell.

Xiao Yin was not the only one who was slightly stunned.

The rate at which the number of viewers in the live stream is declining is also showing signs of slowing down.

"Just say yes already! It's only 14,000; no matter what he does, we'll still make more money!"

The director's urging came through the headset.

Xiao Yin pursed her red lips, and a smile gradually bloomed:

"certainly."

"During the competition period, you are free to use your time as long as it is related to your development."

"That's good." Zhu Ran nodded, her gaze turning to the experimental table, her thoughts becoming active.

"Damn, this kid's got a screw loose. Does he think he can defy fate?"

"Exactly! This is a flawed evolution, a veritable 'cancer of evolution.' The chances of top researchers turning this around and overcoming it are as slim as me stepping in dog poop on my way out..."

"Look at his resume! I just realized that he's the only intermediate trainer among the six contestants; the others are all advanced. Turns out he got in through connections?"

Xiao Yin had been paying close attention to the direction of the comments.

Upon seeing this, a smile remained on her lips, her eyes crinkled with the same gentle curve, and she replied with poise and grace:

"Don't get me wrong, everyone. Zhu is a senior at Chung-Du University, a true academic star."

"Although he is not a senior breeder, he has participated in the evolution of pets more than once, otherwise our program team would not have approved his application to participate."

"In fact, the main reason why Zhu was unable to register for the advanced trainer assessment was because he only had one life, which did not meet the prerequisite of having two lifes."

In an instant.

The online comments turned positive.

"Huh? That's intense?"

"So you're a master of hand-crafted graphics! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

"Our King has returned! All rise! (Respectfully bow)"

Confused netizens immediately jumped in to ask why.

"You don't even understand this? Second-life Beastmasters awaken the 'Spiritual Eye,' which allows them to see the most subtle flows of energy. Whether it's creating evolution potions or setting up evolution rituals, it can greatly increase the success rate."

"Without any resources, relying solely on equipment and visual observation, how could one possibly succeed without substantial financial resources and rigorous practice?"

A single word was uttered.

The screen was filled with colorful "666".

"Report to the director! The number of online viewers has rebounded to 3,000, and the data is very stable!"

"Alright! Change the title to 'Shocking! mind-blowing! The Broken-Winged Butterfly Goes Astray, and Watch as Our Outstanding Young Scientists Reverse It!'"

"Director, isn't this a bit too childish...?" Assistant A hesitated.

"I think so too, and it's suspected of deceiving the audience. You know perfectly well that flawed evolution often means irreversibility..." Assistant B complained.

"You guys don't know anything!" the director yelled. "This is a gimmick! Do as I say!"

……

"Camera number 1 is in position."

"Camera number 2 is in position."

"Lights are ready. No need for supplemental lighting from pets. Everything is prepared!"

The staff were busy.

The audience held their breath.

Even Xiao Yin's eyes, sparkling with light, held a hint of voyeuristic desire.

Everyone was curious about what this extraordinary contestant, who had raised an extraordinary pet, would do next.

however.

Zhu Ran was already immersed in her own world.

[Race]: Broken-winged Frost Butterfly

[Attribute]: Ice

[Life Level]: Mature

[Bloodline Strength]: X

[Core Talent]: Frostbite

[Racial Skill]: Frostbolt

[Status]: Weak/Despair/Bloodline Twisted

It was originally called "Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly," which is a pretty name.

Mature form... Tsk, the hierarchy of this world is really interesting. We even bumped into a Digimon. Is my Pokémon not prestigious enough?

Bloodline strength... Simply put, it represents the overall ability value of a superhuman species at the same level.

S to D represent normal values, arranged from strongest to weakest.

X alone represents distortion, twisting, and error, and is not accepted by the world...

Zhu Ran's heart stirred, and the pages of the book in his mind flipped, landing on the first page of the main volume.

The image of the broken-winged frost butterfly is prominently imprinted on it.

Below the portrait are two lines of small text:

Error ID: 001

[Should we study a reversal solution?]

There are two more branching options below:

①【Complete Solution (Bright)】(One-step solution, requires expensive materials, difficult to implement, suitable for experts)

②【Phase-based plan (bright)】(Progressive, prioritizes addressing critical flaws, moderate material requirements per attempt, moderate difficulty level, suitable for beginners)

I am a cake maker.

Zhu Ran clicked on the full solution without hesitation.

[Materials needed: 1 Icethorn Magic Grass, 5 drops of Earth Core Marrow Liquid, 1 male and 1 female Phantom Winged Ice Fly corpse...Potion preparation steps...]

Zhu Ran stared blankly for three seconds, then quickly turned it off.

It's all messed up.

All of them are rare materials worth five or six figures.

The subsequent production steps are even more outrageous. Without a spiritual eye, relying solely on hand-crafting, even millions wouldn't be enough to cover the losses.

Sorry, I'm a beginner.

Life is tough, I wish you a good sigh.

So, are only phased solutions left?

[Stage: 1/3]

[Materials needed: 10 Ice Magic Stones, 3 liters of Frozen Pool Water, 1 pound each of any five types of butterfly scale powder, 5 drops of any mature ice-type monster blood...Potion preparation steps...]

This is feasible!

A glimmer of light shone into Zhu Ran's deathly black eyes.

Looking around, the materials are all in the hundreds or thousands, with a total value of at most a little over ten thousand.

It can be described as tailor-made.

Wait a minute... Am I really that bad?

He snorted coldly.

Zhu Ran rearranged the order, changed the quantities, added a few unimportant spiritual materials, and finally wrote a purchase list, which he then submitted to the staff.

"That's ruthless. With a credit limit of 20,000, they only kept 2.5 yuan."

"Hehehe, I seriously suspect it's because he lost 25,000 and is feeling resentful."
