You were given the ability to tame beasts, not to become a god-level breeder.

An old breeding facility in the breeding area.

Zhou Qingqing's voice arrived before she did.

"Jiang Fan, the Academic Affairs Office is so efficient."

"The two teachers in charge of supervision have arrived."

As Zhou Qingqing walked, she thought to herself, "Jiang Fan is definitely going to owe me this 200,000."

then.

She paused, frozen in place.

In front of Zhou Qingqing's view, Jiang Fan was at the computer desk, typing on the keyboard with both hands, his fingers moving so fast that they almost left afterimages.

Ten beautiful white creatures, which she had never seen before, ran and played around the computer desk.

Jiang Fan heard Zhou Qingqing's voice, but didn't even look up.

Ten Moonlight Foxes evolved into Moonwheel Foxes.

At that moment, he was busy writing his thesis.

The original paper was titled "On the Possibility of a Second Evolutionary Route for the Ornamental Pet Moon Fox," but it has now been renamed "A Study on the Second Evolutionary Form of the Ornamental Pet Moon Fox."

"Jiang Fan, you succeeded?"

Zhou Qingqing observed ten moon foxes up close, her small mouth slightly open.

Although she, like Yu Wenzhou, disliked the nurturing system and lacked its talent.

He transferred to the Suzhou Education Department to avoid trouble because he was causing trouble at Shanghai University.

But breeders and beast tamers are ultimately destined to the same goal, albeit through different paths.

A powerful breeder must be a skilled beast tamer.

Conversely, skilled beast tamers will possess some nurturing abilities to varying degrees.

There are certain similarities between the Moon Fox and the Moonlight Fox.

Zhou Qingqing is quick-witted.

Upon seeing the energy crescent moon floating on the forehead of the Moon Fox, he became even more certain that these beautiful white creatures were 90% likely evolved from the Moon Fox.

Jiang Fan remained silent, engrossed in writing his thesis.

Zhou Qingqing didn't ask any further questions, and touched the few moon foxes that were somewhat wary and curious about her.

She walked behind Jiang Fan and looked at the computer screen.

Holy crap!

The title of the thesis came into Zhou Qingqing's view from above.

A Study on the Second Evolutionary Form of the Moonlight Fox, an Ornamental Pet

no doubt.

These ten foxes with brand-new appearances are the second evolutionary form of the Moonlight Fox!

A new evolutionary form!

This made Zhou Qingqing unable to hold back and swear.

"Jiang Fan, you're awesome!"

"It's like someone who, in their first year of university, discovers a new evolutionary form of a ferocious beast—one in a million!"

Zhou Qingqing knew that Jiang Fan could hear her, but he wouldn't respond.

He still gave a thumbs-up in praise.

Her original purpose in coming here was to call Jiang Fan to accept the punishment from the two supervising teachers.

But now.

Jiang Fan has researched and developed the second evolutionary form of the Moonlight Fox; the project is now complete.

Gao Zhuo absconding with the money is no big deal.

The two supervising teachers don't need to rush; just let them wait!

About twenty minutes later.

"It's done!"

Jiang Fan looked at the completed paper and checked it again.

"You don't need to fill in my name." Zhou Qingqing pointed to the second author, indicating that Jiang Fan should remove it.

"Um, it's a promise..."

Jiang Fan was interrupted by Zhou Qingqing before he could finish speaking.

"It was just a casual remark. I haven't made any contributions, and I don't plan to pursue a career in education. Adding my name to the list would only be a burden for me."

"Consider the 200,000 yuan as a token of friendship; just remember this kindness."

Zhou Qingqing said firmly.

Two hundred thousand to make a friend?

I really like friends like this; please have more of them!

Jiang Fan mentally complained while nodding in agreement.

Remove her name and finally upload the article to the paper database.

The next step is to wait for the paper database to review and approve it.

As for how the paper database reviews a new evolutionary form of a ferocious beast.

Jiang Fan was unsure, but the paper database seemed to have a unique review process.

Just minutes after Jiang Fan and Zhou Qingqing left the research institute, Jiang Fan received a message indicating that the paper had passed the review and been successfully entered into the paper database.

From this moment forward, Jiang Fan's paper will be presented to everyone in the Great Xia Kingdom.

It can also be cited by others.

"Aren't you curious about how fast the paper database reviews papers?"

Zhou Qingqing also saw the message on Jiang Fan's phone. Seeing the puzzled look on Jiang Fan's face, she casually said...

"Yes."

"If it were other types of papers, a faster review process would be understandable."

"But for a new evolutionary form of a ferocious beast, the review process definitely needs to go through an evolution phase before it can be confirmed."

Jiang Fan nodded, genuinely curious about this.

How will you know if you don't evolve once?

Could the method proposed in the paper lead to the evolution of a new evolutionary form?

"Rumors."

"The paper repository is connected to some kind of existence."

"It's because of that that the paper database can review papers so quickly."

Zhou Qingqing told her what she knew.

"That existence?"

"Some kind of creature?"

Hearing Zhou Qingqing say this, Jiang Fan became even more curious and pressed for an answer.

It's unclear whether it's a living organism, or even whether it possesses life.

"This is top secret."

Zhou Qingqing shook her head.

Jiang Fan nodded, a few guesses forming in his mind.

That being is very likely devoid of life.

Rather, it is a kind of rule, the origin of the world.

As for why I say that...

All the new evolutionary forms of ferocious beasts currently being researched by breeders.

It is neither research nor invention.

Instead, we discover it through research!

This is similar to scientists discovering many laws governing reality and summarizing them into formulas.

These are not inventions, but discoveries!

If someone could invent scientific laws, they would be invincible and could become a god.

During the conversation, Zhou Qingqing led Jiang Fan to an open class classroom in the teaching building.

Two teachers from the academic affairs office sat in front of the teacher's podium in the classroom.

One of them had thinning hair, a receding hairline.

The other one also had thinning hair, a type of bald patch.

But the latter wore black-rimmed glasses and had a rather serious expression.

Jiang Fan looked at the name tags on their chests.

The teacher who wasn't wearing glasses was named Zhao Zhenguo, and the one wearing black-rimmed glasses was named Fa Fangcunxing.

"It's actually Teacher Fang!"

Jiang Fan looked at the words on Fang Cunxing's name tag and exclaimed in surprise in a low voice.

Zhou Qingqing asked in a low voice, "Fang Cunxing? Judging from your tone, he seems very capable?"

"Um."

Jiang Fan nodded in affirmation: "He is a Level 4 Breeder who has developed 32 new evolutionary forms of ferocious beasts, and has improved and optimized hundreds of evolutionary routes. He has also published countless other papers on resources, skills, and other related topics."

"In addition, his teacher is one of the nation's most distinguished mentors!"

"His teacher is really amazing!"

A look of surprise also appeared on Zhou Qingqing's face.

What is meant by "Hall of Fame" level?

The pinnacle of all trainers!

The number is extremely small!

"Jiang Fan, right?"

"The Academic Affairs Office has investigated Gao Zhuo's case thoroughly and found that you two were completely innocent victims."

"You two write a report later and then disband the research group."

"When the government officials come, they will only verify the information once."

"And you two don't need to worry. As long as you write the report, this matter won't be recorded in your files and won't affect your training paths."

Fang Cunxing had obviously done a background check, and he recognized Jiang Fan as soon as he saw him.

Let's get straight to the point.

Write a report and disband the research group.

Then the matter with Gao Zhuo was over.

I don't have to carry such a stain on my reputation.

Jiang Fan was surprised.

This is completely different from what I expected.

Normally speaking...

The research group needs to be disbanded, a report needs to be written, and records need to be kept.

Jiang Fan had a guess in his mind.

Could there be another reason behind Gao Zhuo's absconding with the funds?

"Thank you, Professor Fang, but disbanding the research group is probably not an option."

Jiang Fan shook his head.

after all.

The project is all finished, so why disband it?

Furthermore,

The project has been disbanded, so where am I going to get the awards from the school and the government?

The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

Fang Cunxing and Zhao Zhenguo's expressions froze.

"This is going to be interesting!"

Zhou Qingqing naturally knew that Jiang Fan did not agree to disband the research group.

However, Fang Cunxing and his companion were unaware that Jiang Fan had already developed the second evolutionary form of the Moonlight Fox.

"Jiang Fan, disbanding the research group is a good thing for you."

Why do you disagree?

"I hope you can provide a reasonable explanation."

Zhao Zhenguo still had a faint smile on his face.

The smile wasn't warm; it was rather cold.
