Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 139 Alliance Workers: Who Gave You a Bag of Rice?! Spicy Tian Sen – Qiao Bai!

Despite being in a daze, Chu Yanyi still didn't miss the battle between Qiao Bai and Luo Ningling.

As for the site... well, half of the research institute was overwhelmed by the evolved Sky Bear, so after clearing it out, there was a ready-made open space, and there was no need to look for a special site.

"After the reconstruction, we can prepare a special battlefield here. Maybe in the future, we'll need to assess the strength of evolved pets." Qiao Bai and Luo Ningling stood facing each other, while Chu Yanyi, Xie Jin, and others stood not far away.

"Although I really want to say that I have high hopes for Professor Qiao Bai, when it comes to the matter of combat..." Despite having rested for a night and changed his clothes, Xie Jin was still wearing a rigid three-piece suit, which perfectly accentuated his hypocritical and treacherous nature: "His public image and personality may be fake, but as a seventh-level beast tamer, his strength is real."

Although I don't really want to say it, in Xie Jin's eyes, the outcome of this match was without a doubt.

At most, it depends on whether Luo Ningling will hold back, and whether Qiao Bai's appearance will be slightly less disheveled.

Then she thought of Luo Ningling's near-absent intelligence and emotional intelligence in battle. Great, her heart sank to the ground.

Don't think about it.

I just hope Professor Qiao Bai is a broad-minded person and won't get angry because of a defeat in a battle, and then... cough cough.

Qiao Bai glanced in Xie Jin's direction.

Xie Jin: Honest, dutiful, and with a clear mind.jpg

He really wasn't thinking about anything just now!

"Follow the standard competition procedure?" Luo Ningling put one hand on her hip, her originally frosty face now displaying a bright and vibrant smile. Her chin was slightly raised, and her light amber eyes shimmered in the morning light.

"It's a bit slow. It was just a casual match on a whim, so let's go with one-on-one." Qiao Bai shook his head.

According to the standard competition procedure, all the pets of one side need to lose their fighting ability before they can fight.

Luo Ningling didn't know Qiao Bai well enough and thought that since Qiao Bai only had three pet beasts, it wouldn't be difficult for him to control them.

However, Qiao Bai himself... still had some idea of ​​his own strength.

Whether someone is strong or not is one thing.

Sometimes, it's not about winning a fight; skillful use of techniques can produce many unexpected results.

"One-on-one, I have three pets, you also choose three pets, and we'll play three matches randomly." Each match is a single-elimination game, and you can't use any more pets regardless of the outcome, which makes the game much faster.

Luo Ningling had no objection to the format of the competition.

She was confident in her own abilities, so she was very tolerant of Qiao Bai's suggestions and let him make the choice.

The difference was that Xie Jin, who was standing to the side, seemed to have vaguely discerned something from Qiao Bai's words.

"Hmm... Professor Qiao Bai is very confident in his own abilities!" Xie Jin pushed up his glasses, and white light reflected off the lenses as he said meaningfully.

Having fought Qiao Bai before, Chu Yanyi more or less guessed what Qiao Bai was going to say, "..."

You know what?

Just considering the strange powers of Qiao Bai's pet beasts, if we can't defeat Qiao Bai in one fell swoop, who knows how long the battle will drag on, and it's not impossible that some unknown accidents might happen in the middle.

Thinking about it.

Xie Jin and Chu Yanyi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with pity and sympathy for each other.

Xie Jin: This little girl must have a very good relationship with Professor Qiao Bai, right? She has so much confidence in him; she'll definitely be heartbroken when he loses. Oh! Luo Ningling, you've really done a lot of evil!

Chu Yanyi: Ha! You still don't understand Qiao Bai enough! Qiao Bai is the real number one in terms of unexpectedness! I hope that Actress Luo won't develop any psychological trauma from fighting Qiao Bai!

What Chu Yanyi and Xie Jin, as viewers, thought was not very important.

After careful consideration, Luo Ningling did not act arrogantly. After repeated deliberation and consideration, she selected three pet beasts to fight against Qiao Bai.

In the first round, Qiao Bai and Luo Ningling simultaneously released the pets they had chosen.

"I believe in you, you can do it!" Qiao Bai waved his hand, and the cat-like bug, with its six short legs, ran faster than any other pet on the field. Then it faced off against a giant tortoise that was more than ten meters long.

Giant Turtle: "Ah~"

Hello, little kitten.

A huge, blue turtle, resembling a small island, stretched out its long neck, its eyes slightly lowered, to greet the little creature it had never seen before, but whose color scheme was very similar to its own.

Catbug: "..."

"Chirp chirp!"

"Aww!"

hateful!

What little kitten!

It's a powerful, all-powerful little dragon... Pshaw! It's a mighty dragon!

The giant tortoise, a species called the island tortoise, is an extraordinary creature with both water and land attributes, making it ideal for use as a carrying vehicle.

Whether in rivers, lakes, or the sea, or on land, island turtles can demonstrate considerable mobility. Especially within water, island turtles also possess formidable defensive capabilities, making them an ideal choice for aquatic beast tamers, whether at home or traveling.

"My island tortoise is a sixth-tier advanced level, and it's just a little bit away from breaking through to the seventh tier. Yours..." Luo Ningling proudly introduced the strength of her pet beast, but then paused, as if she didn't know how to describe the cat-worm.

After all, with that appearance...

unique.

It's so unique.

Unique and one-of-a-kind, unlike anything seen before.

Luo Ningling's gaze swept over the two dragon horns on the cat-like insect's head: "Your one should be a dragon-attribute pet, right? Is its strength at the advanced third tier?"

"Don't worry, it's only at the advanced fourth tier." Qiao Bai revealed the current strength of the Cat Bug, and a look of surprise flashed across Luo Ningling's eyes.

Fourth-tier advanced?

A dragon-attribute extraordinary creature?

That's really amazing.

The advantage of bloodline is directly proportional to the growth rate. Look at Li Gan's dragon lizard, it's still just a dragon species, and it's incredibly difficult for it to break through to the fourth rank, let alone the caterpillar that looks like a dragon-attribute extraordinary creature.

Theoretically speaking, the growth rate in the early stages should be slow.

However, Luo Ningling was only surprised for a short while.

Whether the cat-like insect is at the advanced level of the third tier or the advanced level of the fourth tier makes little difference to the island turtle, whose strength has already reached the advanced level of the sixth tier.

Well~

In any case, neither of them is a match for the island turtle, which is at the advanced level of the sixth rank and has strong defense.

Qiao Bai saw through Luo Ningling's true thoughts at a glance.

Qiao Bai's lips curled up slightly.

It's one thing to lose a fight, but what do you do when someone underestimates you from start to finish?

Of course, we should give full play to our initiative. Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant, let alone cat-like insects, which are much stronger than ants!

Physical attacks include the "Broken Blade," which can break through the island turtle's defenses and inflict damage on its body.

Mental attacks include [Mental Concussion], which can ignore the island turtle's defense and inflict mental damage on it.

A two-pronged approach.

To win... of course, it was a loss.

But Qiao Bai didn't lose either, managing only a draw.

Caught off guard by Qiao Bai's unconventional approach, Luo Ningling was speechless.

Xie Jin, equally surprised, was speechless.

Even Chu Yanyi, who was well-prepared, only knew that the Cat Bug had a skill called "Broken Blade" that could ignore defense and deliver a powerful blow, but what was that skill that caused mental damage?

"If we don't prepare in advance, and both sides' pets are of similar strength, one hit can cause the opponent's pet's condition to plummet to a terrible level." Chu Yanyi frowned, his expression was solemn, and his eyes were fixed on the cat-insects on the field.

did not expect.

How long has it been?

The cat bug is much stronger than when we fought before.

Even a high-level sixth-tier island tortoise couldn't gain an advantage against the cat-like insect.

Then think about his evolved form, the Violent Giant Bear... Oh, Qiao Bai has already named his new evolved form the Sky-Shaking Bear.

The Heavenly Bear is undoubtedly superior in terms of strength and physical resistance, but what about mental attacks?

Chu Yanyi dared not say, Chu Yanyi was uncertain.

But Chu Yanyi had a vague feeling that the Heavenly Bear was unlikely to gain much advantage in resisting mental attacks.

"This...this..." Xie Jin, who was not mentally prepared, was dealt a heavy blow by the strength Qiao Bai displayed. Through his glasses, he looked at Qiao Bai, who was holding the cat-like insect lying flat on the ground, with a complicated expression, and muttered, "A mere fourth-tier advanced level monster fought a sixth-tier advanced level island tortoise to a draw...is this something a normal person can do?"

"No," Chu Yanyi answered for him very cooperatively.

Xie Jin: "..."

Thank you so much.

"However, there's a trick to it. If Miss Luo had known about Qiao Bai's pet's skills beforehand, she wouldn't have been able to achieve such an easy draw," Chu Yanyi added.

Xie Jin sighed.

That's true... But shouldn't the differences in level, strength, and experience between Qiao Bai and Luo Ningling be taken into account?

Even if Qiao Bai really just had a lucky break, the fact that he was able to successfully carry it out demonstrates his skill.

"I underestimated you." Luo Ningling finally truly regarded Qiao Bai as an equal opponent.

She fought to a draw with a high-level fourth-tier pet beast and her island tortoise...

Qiao Bai's ability to raise pet beasts is also not to be underestimated!

She needs to get serious!

"Come out, little dragon!"

"Snake, go!"

The two figures, one large and one small, created a striking contrast on the field.

On one side was a figure taller than Qiao Bai, with a robust, flowing body covered in silvery-white scales and a pair of enormous, thin wings that could support its own flight while also carrying another person on its back.

On one side was the Jade Silver Snake, whose entire body, even when standing upright, was not as tall as Qiao Bai. Its slender, long body was only two fingers thick, and its body was also covered with silvery-white scales.

Luo Ningling: "?"

Xie Jin: "?"

No?

Isn't this comparison a bit too stark?

They have every reason to suspect.

The dragon cub didn't even need to lift a finger; a loud snore was enough to blow away the long, thin white snake standing opposite it.

Little White Snake: (╬◣д◢)

hateful!

It's angry!

very angry!

Snake is young, so you bully snake? Don't you understand what you filthy humans are thinking?

NO!

Snakes are so clever!

Snake can even speak English!

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai's gaze shifted from the white snake to the little black bird perched on his shoulder, preening its feathers one by one with its beak.

Little Crow blinked its big, golden-red eyes.

Xiao Wu: (_)

Do you think I'm that kind of bird?

Qiao Bai: "..."

Because of Xiao Wu's quirk that he hadn't heard in a long time, Qiao Bai chose to look away and instead looked at the cat-like insect that he was holding in his arms, who looked completely powerless.

Catbug noticed Qiao Bai's gaze, tilted its head, and stared at Qiao Bai with its big, messy, innocent eyes.

Cat Bug: ☆ v☆

Look at these adorable cats!

Cats won't do bad things!

Qiao Bai continued to stare

(all)

The cat-like insect looked aggrieved.

Catbug: QAQ

"Aww!"

Why do you believe the boss but not me, a poor, innocent, and weak cat?

"Shouldn't you have some self-awareness?" Qiao Bai chuckled and flicked the cat-like insect's head lightly, just to teach it a lesson.

If it weren't for a guilty conscience...

When did Catworm ever admit that it is a cat?

of course.

Qiao Bai wouldn't remind Cat Bug.

Use it to catch cat bugs when they make mistakes; it's sure to catch them every time.

Catbug: A chill ran down my spine.jpg

Catbug obediently shut up and stopped arguing with Qiao Bai.

Lying on its back in Qiao Bai's arms, it pretended to be dead.

What?

What happened?

The cat doesn't know anything!

This whole thing took less than a minute. Standing opposite Qiao Bai, Luo Ningling clearly saw how the dragon-type pet, which had just fought her island tortoise to a draw, was now acting cute in Qiao Bai's arms.

Subconsciously, Luo Ningling's gaze fell on the flying dragon cub not far away, her eyes filled with deep envy.

"Ah... is this the difference between other people's little dragons and my own?" Luo Ningling's expression was tinged with resentment, and her voice was filled with even more resentment: "When the little dragon was still a Yuanbao dragon, it was quite chubby and liked to snuggle in my arms, but ever since it evolved and entered its adolescence..."

"Roar!" The little dragon cub, who was looking at the white snake with a loving expression, turned around abruptly upon hearing Luo Ningling's words and let out a loud roar at her, expressing its dissatisfaction.

Stop talking!

dignity!

face!

It's important to maintain a proper image for the little cub, you know?

Luo Ningling: "?"

and many more?

Is this still the same arrogant and haughty dragon cub she knew, who cared a lot about his image and would run away from home and refuse to fight if he was slightly unhappy?

Luo Ningling's gaze involuntarily shifted from the baby dragon in front of her to the tiny white snake opposite her, which was almost invisible against the backdrop of the baby dragon's robust physique.

Compared to the unidentifiable species of the little black bird and the cat dragon, the species of the little white snake is very easy to identify: the water-attribute pet, the Jade Silver Snake.

At first glance, the color of its scales is seven or eight parts similar to that of a baby dragon.

However, upon closer inspection, one will find that the scales of Qiao Bai's jade silver snake reflect even more colorful and warm light in the morning glow.

If we say that the scales of the baby dragon are cold, hard, silvery-white.

The scales of the jade silver snake are jade white with iridescent ripples.

"Is the Jade Silver Snake really that beautiful?" Luo Ningling was deeply attracted by the colors displayed on the little white snake's scales.

Hearing Luo Ningling's words, the flying dragon cub showed a very agreeable expression on its face.

That's right!

The baby is just so good-looking!

Luo Ningling shuddered, instantly snapping back to reality. She stared at the baby dragon with disbelief: "Baby dragon? Are you really my baby dragon? Are you sure you're not possessed by something filthy?!"

Flying Dragon Cub: Disdainful Look.jpg

The dragon cub turned its back with lightning speed, determined not to look at Luo Ningling again.

Seeing the little dragon's disgusted expression and actions, Luo Ningling wasn't angry. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her chest a few times.

"Phew—thank goodness, seeing that practiced three-part disdain, it's still my little dragon!"

Chu Yanyi: "..."

"The baby dragon evolves into a Light-Year Dragon Rider, right?" Chu Yanyi asked, somewhat puzzled, watching the interaction between the human and the dragon not far away. "Aren't Light-Year Dragon Riders usually pretty nice?"

Otherwise, the Light-Year Dragon Rider wouldn't have been selected as the top flying vehicle among extraordinary beings.

It has a great personality, flies fast, provides a great experience, and is incredibly considerate in every aspect.

"Perhaps... people raise the same kind of pets as they are people." Hearing Chu Yanyi's question, Xie Jin's face showed a hesitant expression.

Chu Yanyi fell silent again.

"I finally understand what it means to stay away from the life of an idol," Chu Yanyi said with a deep look in her eyes and a similarly deep voice.

We're too close... All the filters and fantasies are gone!

Luo Ningling was unaware that one of her little fans had quickly ripped away the thick idol filter she held for her. Seeing that the little dragon was still the same little dragon she knew, she waved her hand and said, "Get in line quickly, we need to prepare for the battle!"

Luo Ningling didn't realize what she had said.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the little dragon, which had been facing away from her with some disdain, suddenly turned its head again, its eyes filled with shock as it looked at Luo Ningling.

What did you say?

What are you doing?

What are you preparing?

It didn't hear me, say it again!

The baby dragon flapped its wings twice.

Luo Ningling: "..."

Luo Ningling finally realized that something was really wrong with the situation. Her own flying dragon cub's attitude towards this little snake... wait a minute!

"Dragon cub—you didn't mistake this little snake for your cub, did you?!" Luo Ningling shouted, startling not only herself but also Xie Jin, Chu Yanyi, and the other four staff members beside her.

real or fake?

The dragon-type flying dragon cub has taken the water-type jade silver snake as its own cub.

Is this some newest lame joke?

Everyone couldn't help but think of it.

But if you turn your head, you'll see the dragon cub's attitude towards the jade silver snake—it's good, it couldn't be better.

To say that it's because the dragon cub has a good personality... I'm sorry, Luo Ningling would be the first to jump up and curse. Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Luo Ningling rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to try to reason with the little dragon, but the little dragon stubbornly turned its head away, looking at the sky, the ground, and the little white snake, refusing to meet Luo Ningling's gaze.

"What's going on...?"

Qiao Bai hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

The dragon cub was unwilling to fight the little white snake because of the little white snake's "group favorite" buff, which Qiao Bai could understand.

But the situation between the dragon cub and Luo Ningling... has nothing to do with him; he did nothing.

"Professor Qiao Bai, don't worry, this isn't your problem." Xie Jin, who was not far away, noticed the confusion on Qiao Bai's face and raised his voice slightly in Qiao Bai's direction, saying, "This is the dragon cub going through its rebellious phase!"

Then Xie Jin lowered his voice and explained to the few friends next to him who were craning their necks and watching him curiously, "Ning Ling's little dragon cub has a rather strong personality and is quite concerned about saving face, but Ning Ling herself..."

To put it nicely, she's cheerful and generous, doesn't take anything to heart, and there's nothing in this world that can make her feel ashamed.

If Xie Jin hadn't stopped her and helped her screen scripts and projects from time to time, Luo Ningling would have dared to accept any project, regardless of its quality or brand, as long as it wasn't illegal or against the law, as long as she was paid.

In addition, as a beast tamer with considerable strength, Luo Ningling was even less worried about her safety.

When filming, I don't care if it's tough, tiring, or I don't care about my appearance. After all, it's about making money, so it's not shameful!

In this respect... the baby dragons are not so good.

Yep.

In short, when the baby dragon was still small and had become a Yuanbao dragon, the problems between the two sides were not that big.

But once the Yuanbao Dragon evolved into a flying dragon cub, and the child gradually grew up... it truly became independent, and the daily life of the one and the dragon became chaotic.

"Let them be. They'll be able to resolve the issues eventually through more practice and adjustment," Xie Jin said, waving his hand.

Hey.

Give up, give up.

Let Luo Ningling and her pet solve their own problems.

His involvement as an outsider only complicates matters further.

Anyway, the little dragon never stays angry for long, and Luo Ningling always manages to coax it back to peace. Nobody knows how it does it, so I guess it's a kind of talent.

The talent to be a sea king or sea queen.

And so—

"It's a tie again." Luo Ningling said this with a look of deep frustration on her face.

Early in the morning.

The warm-up matches ended in two draws.

Luo Ningling didn't really care whether she won or not, but... "This fight was just so unpleasant!"

"Again!" Luo Ningling was almost getting carried away.

warm up?

Try?

Excuse me.

Forgot everything!

She desperately needs a thrilling battle right now!

Luo Ningling's gaze fell on the little bird on Qiao Bai's shoulder.

She knew that this was Qiao Bai's last pet beast, and also the most powerful of Qiao Bai's three pet beasts. This time, she was sure to have a great time fighting it.

"Go! Thunder and lightning!"

"Little Wu, I'm leaving it to you." Qiao Bai looked at the sky full of lightning across the opposite side and patted Little Wu on his shoulder.

The little bird flapped its wings and soared high.

I felt the same excitement as Qiao Bai.

What?

Scared?

That simply doesn't apply to the eldest sister.

So what if they're sixth or seventh tier pets!

In battle, you must unleash your full potential!

……

Star City.

Beast Taming Alliance Headquarters.

I was urgently summoned to Heng City late at night by a phone call, and then rushed to catch the first flight to Xingcheng in the morning. After landing in Xingcheng, I was taken to the headquarters of the Beast Taming Alliance without a second's delay.

Huangzhou was still in a daze after going through the whole process.

Without giving him any extra time to rest, a dedicated staff member came to connect with him, and a whole host of information about Qiao Bai and the Illusionary Mist was poured into Huang Zhou's mind under the staff member's explanation.

Huangzhou: "..."

"You...you guys, let me catch my breath first..." Huang Zhou weakly and shakily stretched out a hand, making a pause gesture: "I feel like my brain is about to stop working, let me process this information..."

A staff member with two huge dark circles under his eyes looked energetic and had an expression that said "I love my job, my job loves me." He quickly grabbed a pink dream-eating cat that was passing by and stuffed it into Huang Zhou's arms.

"Not feeling well? No problem, clear your head. We still have a lot of work to do that requires your cooperation, Chairman Huang." The staff member had a calm smile on his face: "It will only take a day at most. Once everything is arranged, you can get some rest."

They can finally get some rest.

smile.jpg

Huang Zhou, whose mind hadn't quite caught up yet, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and sat bolt upright, his eyes wide open.

"So your arrangements are..." Huang Zhou hesitated, then asked cautiously.

"Professor Qiao Bai's professional title will be promoted, skipping the Level 2 Researcher and Level 1 Researcher ranks, and he will be promoted to the same level as Professor Wu Qingshan as a national-level professor." The staff member's lips twitched as he quickly announced the official arrangements for Qiao Bai's future career path: "Strengthen the security level of Professor Qiao Bai's file, classify it as top secret, and prohibit ordinary people from accessing it."

"Prepare a dedicated, professional research institute for Professor Qiao Bai to conduct closed-door research, and strive to complete the task in the shortest possible time..."

"Wait, wait, wait." Before the staff member could finish speaking, Huang Zhou stretched out a hand, waved it, and took the initiative to signal a halt.

Staff member: "Chairman Huang, is there a problem with this?"

Huangzhou: Problems? There are tons of problems!

Huang Zhou rubbed his forehead, looking troubled, and said with a hint of helplessness, "So... have you considered Qiao Bai's wishes?"

The staff member paused for a moment, then quickly added, "Professor Qiao Bai will receive top-notch treatment in every aspect!"

Money, power, and fame.

The country will never be stingy with anything Qiao Bai wants, as long as it is something he can think of.

My only goal is to thoroughly research the Mysterious Mist as quickly as possible, and then go a step further based on that research.

"It's not about that." Huang Zhou's expression grew even more helpless; he knew it...

Whoops!

What kind of mess is this?!

As the employee who had the most contact with Qiao Bai, Huang Zhou could say that he knew Qiao Bai's thoughts perfectly well, even if he didn't know them inside and out.

"First of all, Qiao Bai doesn't really have that much passion for the title of professor of pet animals or this profession." Huang Zhou's words stunned the staff.

Staff member: "?"

The staff member assigned to liaise with Huangzhou swallowed hard, his usual composed demeanor now showing signs of trepidation and unease: "President Huang, do you mean...?"

He looked in the direction of Huangzhou with pleading eyes, as if begging Huangzhou not to hear that devastating news.

Huangzhou: "..."

There's still a lingering pang of conscience.

"It's just what you think." But Huang Zhou had no choice but to nod solemnly, despite the disappointment in the other party's eyes, and said with a pained expression, "Perhaps because he is too talented in the research of pet evolution, Qiao Bai is not very interested in becoming a full-time pet professor who diligently buries himself in the research institute every day to study and explore different extraordinary creatures."

"He'd rather climb another tower, one that's hard to reach in the short term." Huang Zhou's words dealt a heavy blow to the staff: "As far as Qiao Bai himself is concerned, his current interest in becoming a powerful beast tamer far outweighs his interest in becoming an excellent pet professor."

Staff member: "..."

Open your mouth.

To shut up.

This action continued back and forth for several minutes, but he still couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Is it wrong to say that Qiao Bai is doing this?

Qiao Bai has awakened the potential to become a beast tamer and is qualified to do so. Why can't Qiao Bai choose to become a beast tamer?

Although they didn't know much about Qiao Bai's own wishes before, they knew more or less that Qiao Bai was quite talented in raising pets and pet battles.

They knew the results of the league organized by Yulong and Honghu not long ago.

Closer.

They also knew about Qiao Bai's ranking in the South China region.

But they never expected... Ahhh!

When you have a mental breakdown, you can just stand up for a moment.

The thought that all the previous arrangements and plans were going to fall through, since they were all just wishful thinking on their part... made the staff feel like they were going crazy.

"Aaaaaah—" The staff went crazy.

My sleep is ruined.

My holiday is ruined.

His hair was about to leave him too.

Aliens invade the world, let's start a farm! — The Evil Sword Immortal destroying the world isn't out of the question either — Who's giving you a bag of rice? — Spicy Heavenly Forest!

Huang Zhou watched the staff member clutching his head and going crazy. He silently hugged the pink cat in his arms to make his body look smaller and less noticeable... cough cough.

My conscience is a little sore.

Meanwhile, the other employees at headquarters who were working overtime after learning the news were left speechless.

Chaos of demons.jpg

……

The battle was intense.

The result... was exactly as expected.

Although Little Wu is quite powerful and can forcefully suppress low-level and some mid-level sixth-tier pets, it is still slightly inferior to Thunder and Lightning, a genuine mid-level seventh-tier pet... by more than one level.

When the battle ended, Little U's feathers, which were originally pitch black but could reflect iridescent colors in the sunlight, turned completely black, the color of charcoal.

Compared to the physical injuries that could be healed after a short stay in a treatment device, the loss of the beautiful luster in the feathers was a bigger blow to the little bird.

Xiao Wu: o(╥﹏╥)o

Crying

They were practically shutting themselves off on the spot.

"Hahaha, Professor Qiao Bai, you've really mastered raising your pet beast... cough cough cough!" Luo Ningling's laughter was still in her throat when she suddenly met the big red eyes of the little black gold beast, and her laughter instantly stopped.

Unable to catch her breath, Luo Ningling coughed violently, her beautiful face turning bright red.

After her brain finally calmed down, she realized... wasn't this situation a little strange?

Luo Ning stopped laughing.

Her hands twisted nervously together, her light amber eyes glancing at Qiao Bai every now and then, filled with guilt and inner turmoil.

"Um... Professor Qiao Bai, I..." Luo Ningling, coming back to her senses, also realized that she had gone a bit too far.

Professor Qiao Bai is only a first-tier beast tamer!

She actually got carried away!

Then he even laughed happily in front of Professor Qiao Bai!

Low emotional intelligence does not mean a lack of emotional intelligence.

Especially when she needs someone's help, Luo Ningling's survival instinct is off the charts.

Xie Jin, standing to the side, was dumbfounded: "Wait, so when you need someone's help, your IQ and EQ take over?"

"I always tell her to take it easy, but she can't remember a single word?"

A flexible bottom line?

Xie Jin: My eyes have been opened; I am amazed.jpg

If you don't go out and explore, you won't know how many faces you don't know about the people you thought you knew so well!

"That's not it." Qiao Bai looked at Xiao Wu, who was nestled in his arms, looking angry and aggrieved, and then at Luo Ningling, who looked uneasy across from him. A wry smile appeared on his face.

"It's normal for Little Wu to lose." If a fifth-tier strength could easily defeat a seventh-tier pet, then Little Wu wouldn't need to keep getting stronger. This is good enough. Qiao Bai said with a smile, "Little Wu is sad. Its feathers don't look as nice as before."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Luo Ningling subconsciously glanced at the little crow's feathers: "They all seem to be black, there's not much difference."

Xie Jin: "..."

OK OK.

Some people just can't handle praise.

You just praised me, and now you're already letting things slide, huh?

Little Wu stared at Luo Ningling with its big, golden-red eyes for a moment, then a few more, and finally turned around and buried its head in Qiao Bai's arms, silently facing Luo Ningling with its bottom.

Little Crow: How awful! The bird will remember this person and her pet!

Fight again!

See you next time!

Qiao Bai was helpless.

Okay, okay.

There's no point in comforting someone who holds a grudge this long; let Xiao Wu continue to remember it.

"There's an eighth-tier pet beast on the other side. It's not enough for you to just beat that seventh-tier one. You also need to find a way to suppress that eighth-tier pet beast that hasn't come out yet in order to truly get revenge, understand?" Instead of comforting him, Qiao Bai chose to add fuel to the fire, making Xiao Wu have another target for revenge, and an even stronger one.

Xiao Wu: I understand! I understand perfectly!

The bird must rise! It must become stronger!

Having witnessed firsthand how Qiao Bai "motivated" his pet beast, Chu Yanyi was speechless.

I have to say it again: I can't learn it, I can't learn even a little bit!

After being encouraged by Qiao Bai, Xiao Wu subconsciously forgot about how ugly his feathers were and focused on becoming stronger and more powerful so that he could fight back.

Qiao Bai patted his silly bird's head, pressed down the sticking-up ahoge (cowlick) a little, and when he let go, the ahoge bounced up on its own. A faint smile appeared in Qiao Bai's eyes.

Early in the morning.

My heart feels warm.

very good mood.

"Then let's talk about the arrangements for the evolution of Miss Feihua and Miss Muling," Qiao Bai changed the subject.

Luo Ningling's train of thought was instantly diverted, and she happily followed Qiao Bai's words: "Professor Qiao Bai, you can say whatever you want, I'm listening!"

"First and foremost, you need to connect with Miss Feihua or Miss Muling to deepen your understanding and truly get to know each other." With that, Qiao Bai turned and walked into the research institute, with Luo Ningling following closely behind.

"Then there are some high-grade resources... I'll call Chairman Huang to apply for them later, but the types and quantities needed are quite large, and there's not enough in NY City. We might need to report to headquarters..." The two of them spoke while the other nodded repeatedly. Luo Ningling put her brain to its fullest potential, trying to remember every word Qiao Bai said so that Qiao Bai wouldn't have to repeat it a second time.

Luo Ningling: "High-grade resources? I have quite a few. If I don't have any but desperately need them, I can buy some myself!"

The two voices faded into the distance.

I couldn't hear anything at all once I went inside.

Chu Yanyi, Xie Jin, Lu Yongjin, Sui Yu and her husband, and the other two researchers looked at the chaotic battlefield, then at the backs of the two people who had completely disappeared...

"It feels like we've been forgotten."

"Isn't that normal? We're the atmosphere-creating team, after all."

"Hurry up, keep up! We need to write down Professor Qiao Bai's train of thought!"

"And there are the written application reports for new research projects—how can we let Professor Qiao Bai do these small things!"

"Yes, yes, this is an important matter."

The four researchers, displaying remarkable self-discipline as mere tools, quickly adjusted their mindset and followed Qiao Bai's footsteps, running one after another into the room.

In the midst of repeated silences, Xie Jin felt his heart was about to be forged into an indestructible fortress. He looked at Chu Yanyi beside him, about to utter a few words of complaint, when he saw Chu Yanyi start to move.

"I'll go in too, to see if Qiao Bai needs any help." After all, Qiao Bai is her creditor.

Chu Yanyi: People who are heavily in debt need to learn to be more discerning, otherwise when will they ever be able to pay off their debts!

After greeting Xie Jin, Chu Yanyi left without looking back.

Looking left and right, Xie Jin, still alone, silently typed a question mark.

No?

Is this the difference between people?

He had to revolve around his work (Luoningling) every day for money, and he was always busy and overwhelmed.

Let's take a look at Qiao Bai.

It's almost as if the whole world revolves around him!
