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

"The project is complete."

"This is my published paper, which has passed the review of the paper database."

Jiang Fan smiled, seemingly unaware of the change in atmosphere.

Calmly, he took out his phone, navigated to the paper database page, and showed it to Zhao Zhenguo and Fang Cunxing.

"That's true!"

Zhao Zhenguo and his colleague quickly finished reading the paper.

A well-formatted paper with solid content.

To verify its authenticity, Zhao Zhenguo also used his own mobile phone to check the paper database.

The paper was indeed found.

Clicking on the paper's author will bring up a secondary page.

There are photos of Jiang Fan, information about the school he attends, and other details.

Zhao Zhenguo and Fang Cunxing exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

The author is Jiang Fan alone.

This shows that Jiang Fan actually managed to develop the second evolutionary form of the Moonlight Fox all by himself.

Regardless of whether the Moon Fox's combat abilities are strong or whether it is qualified as a combat-type beast tamer.

Jiang Fan's ability to complete research on a new evolutionary path during his freshman year demonstrates his strong nurturing skills.

They are expected to become Level 4 trainers in the future.

"So that's how it is."

"Jiang Fan is truly a prodigy at a young age."

"Since the paper has passed the paper database review, the research group has automatically completed its task and does not need to be disbanded."

Zhao Zhenguo and Fang Cunxing are clearly the main players.

He reacted quickly and spoke immediately.

Although Zhao Zhenguo did not speak, the smile on his face melted away the ice and snow, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

"but."

Fang Cunxing then changed the subject.

This made Jiang Fan's heart skip a beat. Was there going to be a twist?

Seeing Jiang Fan's nervous look, Fang Cunxing smiled and said, "The school still needs to file a record. They will remove Gao Zhuo from the old research group and make you the group leader."

"Yes, that's no problem."

Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling that Fang Cunxing was doing it on purpose.

"The rewards from the school and the government should arrive in about two or three days."

"Recently, ten universities have jointly organized the New Sprout Cup, which offers good rewards. You can participate with your Moon Fox."

As they were talking, Fang Cunxing suddenly took out his phone.

Jiang Fan added his contact information, saying that he could contact him if he had any questions.

"You little rascal, you've kept us waiting for ages."

After adding the contact information, Fang Cunxing touched his stomach.

Looking at Jiang Fan, he said, "Want to go to the cafeteria for something to eat? My treat."

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Jiang Fan nodded in agreement.

The dinner was just a pretext; Fang Cunxing clearly had something else to say.

"Qingqing, do you want to come along?"

Jiang Fan turned to look at Zhou Qingqing.

"No, I'm not hungry yet."

Zhou Qingqing politely declined.

"That's perfect, the ten moon foxes at the breeding center haven't eaten yet."

"Could you please prepare their dinner for me, Sister Qingqing? I'll send the recipe to your phone later."

Zhou Qingqing: ...

"OK."

Zhou Qingqing was sulking, but in the end she still agreed.

She would absolutely not agree if Jiang Fan failed to develop the Moon Fox.

Having agreed to feed the Moon Fox, Zhou Qingqing had no choice but to take out her phone and postpone her sparring match with the Beast Taming student.

...

The university cafeteria was brightly lit.

In addition to students and teachers, there is also a special beast-taming canteen that serves meals here.

Zhao Zhenguo and Fang Cunxing first delivered the beasts to the beast canteen, and then took Jiang Fan to a private room.

Fang Cunxing ordered a table full of dishes.

Jiang Fan's appetite was whetted at the sight.

These dishes are not made from ordinary ingredients, but from resources containing pure spiritual energy.

Even if the human body can't absorb too much, the taste and texture of the ingredients are far superior to those of ordinary ingredients.

Before this, Jiang Fan could occasionally hang out with Yu Wenzhou, but he was never willing to spend money on himself.

"Have you thought about the next topics?"

While they were eating, Fang Cunxing suddenly said something.

Jiang Fan swallowed the food in his mouth before speaking, "I have two ideas: one is to study whether the Moonlight Fox has a third evolutionary form, and the other is to further study the evolutionary forms of the Moonwheel Fox."

The Moonlight Fox exists in a third evolutionary form.

The panel shows that there is an evolution path called Mischievous Fox, but the progress is extremely low.

Even after Jiang Fan evolved the Moon Fox and reviewed a lot of information on beast taming, the progress of the Mischievous Fox's evolution path only increased from one percent to ten percent.

The evolved form of the Moon Fox is revealed when it looks at the evolved Moon Nine-Eleven, showing a subsequent evolutionary path.

[Ferocious Beast: Moon Fox]

【Evolution Route 1: Great Moon Fox (30%)】

【Evolution Route 2: Soul Moon Fox (20%)】

【Evolution Route 3: Frostmoon Fox (10%)】

"That's a good idea, but I have some suggestions. I don't know if you want to hear them?" Fang Cunxing said.

"I'm all ears."

Jiang Fan said expectantly.

"Research on Moonlight Fox is not urgent for now."

"As a new ferocious beast, it needs to undergo a comprehensive evaluation."

"For example, will new talent skills appear as the Moon Fox's level increases?"

How capable is the Moon Fox in combat?

"You are the developer of the Moonfox evolutionary form, so your application for a Moonfox research project will likely be approved."

"Based on recent standards, how much would it cost to keep ten moon foxes? To be conservative, let's say 100,000 per fox?"

"That should allow us to secure a million in funding."

Jiang Fan interrupted, "Teacher Fang, I have ten Moon Foxes with me."

"Besides, Moon Foxes aren't that expensive. A Moon Fox only costs three thousand on the market, and even with evolution materials, it's less than thirty thousand."

Upon completion of the project, all results and remaining funding belong to the research team.

Gao Zhuo ran away, but Zhou Qingqing had made a prior agreement.

The ownership of those ten moon foxes, which he bought from his own home, naturally belongs to Jiang Fan.

The cost of a single moon fox jumped from less than 30,000 to 100,000, which left Jiang Fan speechless.

"What do you mean you have ten moon foxes?"

"What kind of research project uses your work and doesn't pay you? That's robbery!"

"Besides, the research results are public; without sufficient funding, and having to pay out of their own pockets, how many trainers would be willing to participate in the project?"

"As for the cost of a Moon Fox, although the Moon Fox you researched has not been used in actual combat, judging from your description of its innate skills, it is definitely not weak. One hundred thousand for one is already considered very cheap."

Fang Cunxing only touched on the point and did not elaborate further.

"Thank you for your guidance, Professor Fang."

"I'll apply for a research project titled 'In-depth Development of the Moon Fox' later."

Jiang Fan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized the truth, as if struck by a thunderbolt.

Yes!

The research team's painstaking efforts have all been included in the paper database and made public to everyone in the Great Xia Kingdom!

If funding is limited, how many trainers will be willing to participate in research projects in the future?

They would probably choose to work in the private training bases of other families, clans, or powerful forces in exchange for high salaries.

In reality, those private training bases hire many talented trainers to work for them with high salaries and high-value resources.

This allows private breeding bases to possess a wealth of undisclosed evolutionary pathways, skill training methods, and other useful information.

Simultaneously.

The Great Xia Kingdom also has a set of review procedures for funding applications.

The funds allocated are not something you can simply receive as much as you want.

"Well, but for you, it's more important than applying for a new research project."

"I think there's something even more important."

After seeing that Jiang Fan understood his meaning, Fang Cunxing changed the subject.

Jiang Fan was stunned.

What could be more important than applying for a new research grant?
