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

Chapter 141 Zhou Xinran: What exactly did you do in places I didn't know about? (Further elevation in status)

Qiao Bai's head was buzzing.

Before I could even react, I was hit. The pain started from the back of my head and went down my spine and tailbone; it hurt everywhere.

Then there were two heavy lumps on top of him... ah no, there was a heavy person on top of him. Qiao Bai didn't vomit blood because his body was strong enough to support him.

"Huh?" Luo Ningling lay on Qiao Bai's body, her hands on Qiao Bai's seemingly thin but actually muscular body built up through healthy exercise. She couldn't help but squeeze it a couple of times. It felt good, so she squeezed it a couple more times.

Qiao Bai, who had just come back to his senses from the buzzing in his head, stared quietly at Luo Ningling with a deep gaze.

Luo Ningling, who happened to look down and meet Qiao Bai's gaze, was speechless.

"Cough cough!" Luo Ningling propped herself up and tried to stand up.

Poor Qiao Bai, lying on the ground, was pressed down twice by Luo Ningling, almost suffocating before a black figure disappeared right in front of him.

When Xie Jin heard the commotion and came over, he saw this scene that looked just like something out of an idol drama.

Seeing this, Xie Jin smacked his lips, pushed up his glasses, and said, "Isn't this enough of an idol drama? What happened to the promise of lips touching lips? Your script is no good."

As he spoke, Xie Jin shook his head sincerely, as if he genuinely felt he hadn't had enough of the spectacle.

"Can't you put anything normal in your head?" Luo Ningling, who had already stood up straight, rolled her eyes at Xie Jin, then reached out to Qiao Bai and pulled him up.

Qiao Bai used the effort to stand up, grimacing. He rubbed the back of his head, his face contorted in pain: "Ouch—it hurts a bit. I wonder if it'll swell up."

As he spoke, Qiao Bai rubbed it a couple more times.

No.

I can't rub it anymore, it really hurts.

Qiao Bai had only made a casual complaint when he noticed several people's eyes turning to him.

Qiao Bai: "?"

"No, it doesn't matter where Professor Qiao Bai is injured, but his brain must not be damaged!" Xie Jin said solemnly.

Luo Ningling's face was also full of guilt: "It was my fault, Fei Hua and Mu Ling also bear some responsibility."

Miss Feihua and Miss Muling stood to the side, heads bowed, glancing at Qiao Bai from time to time with guilty eyes, filled with apology and self-reproach.

Hearing the commotion, Chu Yanyi and Sui Yu rushed over and looked at Qiao Bai with concern: "Are you alright? If it's really serious, should we go to the hospital?"

Qiao Bai waved his hand: "No, no, it's really not that serious."

"It's fine if you don't go to the hospital. Let Sister Sui make you some chicken soup to nourish you. After all, your brain is very precious!" Chu Yanyi said seriously, one hand on her hip.

Qiao Bai: "..."

So all of this was just waiting for him here?

Let's not even talk about inspirational quotes.

Normally, just hearing the name of food makes Qiao Bai feel a vague urge to vomit.

Moreover, Xiao Wu and the cat-like insect, especially the little white snake who didn't participate in the food preparation yesterday, seemed extremely eager to try after hearing the suggestion.

Chicken soup?

They can!

They can!

Qiao Bai held two in each hand, his expression serious and solemn: No! You can't! Not a single one of you!

Don't even think about it!

He wouldn't give Little Crow, Cat Bug, or Little White Snake the chance to continue ruining his taste buds!

The emotions I felt yesterday vanished completely last night, leaving not a trace!

Morning... no, noon, ended in an unknown flurry of activity.

In the afternoon, everyone at the research institute finally resumed their normal routine, but they all looked a little listless and their movements were not as nimble as usual.

However, this does not affect their mindset as working people.

"Miss Luo, Miss Feihua's training is a bit better than Miss Muling's. So after Miss Feihua's training ends, you need to give Miss Muling some extra training to maintain her balance." Researcher Wan Cheng's job is to carry various instruments and record, observe, and test the data while Luo Ningling trains her two pets.

This is not.

He quickly came into play his proper role.

And it dealt a heavy blow, both physically and mentally, to Miss Muling, who was already slacking off.

Miss Wood Spirit: "..."

"nalu..."

Can I skip training...? I'm so tired...

Miss Mu Ling looked in the direction of Luo Ningling and Wan Cheng with her beautiful, watery eyes, a mint green tinged with light pink. For a moment, Wan Cheng's old heart couldn't help but tremble violently.

Wan Cheng: I deserve to die!

Miss Wood Spirit is so cute!

It instantly reminded him of the daughter of his dreams!

Although in the real world he is still a single dog who doesn't even have a girlfriend because he works too hard, that doesn't stop Wan Cheng, who is already getting older, from wanting to have a sweet and obedient daughter.

Compared to Wan Cheng's low resistance and self-blame at first glance, Luo Ningling showed no mercy when faced with Miss Mu Ling's aggrieved and coquettish eyes.

"Extra training, no discussion."

Miss Muling looked a little aggrieved.

Luo Ningling's eyes lit up: "If you'd like another piece of that little cake from yesterday, I might consider it..."

"Nalu!"

That's it!

Needless to say!

Extra practice!

Let's practice more now!

Upon hearing the name of the little cake, Miss Wood Spirit's expression turned terrified.

It's because the little cake last night left an extremely bad impression on it.

It won't work! It's unacceptable!

It really can't eat anymore!

Luo Ningling: Plan complete!

Luo Ningling discovered it very quickly.

Preparing a birthday party for Qiao Bai brought her countless benefits.

Not to mention that a friendly bridge of understanding was established between her and Professor Qiao Bai.

Even the pets at home are much more united now!

Perhaps because they faced life-or-death crises together beyond the battle, their unity and closeness have increased considerably.

With Luo Ningling's occasional threats and coaxing with small cakes and kind words, Miss Feihua and Miss Muling's favorability and tacit understanding with Luo Ningling, which were already just a little bit lacking, "soared" up.

The speed was unbelievable.

In just three days, these two hard requirements have already been met.

What we haven't yet accomplished is, in a sense, the simplest part—eating.

Eat the ingredients.

Consume resources.

Eat crystals.

Miss Flying Flower and Miss Wood Spirit: It's really not that they don't want to cooperate, it's just that the mere mention of the word "eat" makes them... yuck! No, no, let them calm down a bit more!

Eat less!

Eat a little less today!

My appetite has been gone for several days and hasn't returned to normal.

Fortunately, I can still eat a little bit every day, no matter how much or how little I eat.

Miss Feihua, Miss Muling, and the others mainly have psychological issues, specifically PTSD.

Qiao Bai, who was passing by them enjoying delicious food and drinks, scoffed.

Little Wu, eating and drinking normally: (taunting)

Piglet, cat, bug, and little white snake eating and drinking: head tilting.jpg

Is that not acceptable?

That's just too lame!

Look at them!

Nothing happened at all!

Even the beast tamers are fine!

As expected, their beast tamer is the strongest!

Unable to refute, Chu Yanyi and Luo Ningling were speechless.

It tastes like a heart attack.

……

Star City.

"There doesn't seem to be any news from Professor Qiao Bai's side for the time being?"

"Then why don't we take a break first?"

"I think it's possible! Researching the evolution of pet beasts is no easy task!"

"Looking at the average time Professor Qiao Bai spends researching the evolution of pets, would you like to repeat what you said?"

"Um... okay, Professor Qiao Bai is indeed different, but Professor Qiao Bai's previous research was all based on cases he had already encountered. Miss Fei Hua and Miss Mu Ling from the Film Queen's group are special cases, and Professor Qiao Bai has never had any contact with them before. It's not strange that he needs more time to study them, is it?"

"I think it will only last three months at most!"

"No! Want to bet? I think it'll only last a month at most!"

The staff, who had been working overtime for six consecutive days, were dizzy and had only two words on their minds—vacation!

They prayed from the bottom of their hearts—that Professor Qiao Bai's research would proceed more slowly, much more slowly!

The leaders: "..."

"Alright, alright, we know you've all worked hard lately, so we'll give you a week off. Go back and get some rest." The leadership waved their hand and approved a week's leave: "If there's nothing else going on, we'll prepare to give you annual leave."

"Yay—!"

The excited cheers almost lifted the roof off the alliance headquarters building.

"Um..." Huang Zhou, mingling among the crowd, whispered as he approached the high-ranking leader, asking hesitantly, "Can I go back to the south too...?"

"You can't do it."

Huangzhou's words were rejected outright before he could finish speaking.

The leader, who was about ten years older than Huang Zhou, patted Huang Zhou on the shoulder with an expression that said, "The organization values ​​and believes in you." He said, "It's inconvenient to travel between NY City and Xingcheng. Anyway, it's almost the end of the year, so you can stay until the New Year before going back."

"You can treat this period as a training opportunity at headquarters."

Huangzhou: "..."

#￥@%#&!

Is this perfect?

Huang Zhou had a lot to say, but after thinking about Qiao Bai, he finally let out a long sigh.

Hey!

Forget it!

This must be what they call a sweet trouble!

Qiao Bai is so outstanding that even the president of the NY City Beast Taming Alliance has to get busy with him.

What can Huangzhou do?

Pain and happiness.

Just thinking about the envious, jealous, and hateful looks he received from others made Huang Zhou feel even happier.

……

Fortunately, Luo Ningling's efforts and dedication were not in vain, and everything yielded results.

On the seventh day, Miss Feihua and Miss Muling's food had returned to normal, and the two pets ate the last portion of resources together.

Before Wan Cheng could even record the details of Miss Feihua and Miss Muling's condition after they finished eating the ingredients, the two pets began to radiate a dazzling light.

"They've evolved! They've evolved!" Wan Cheng shouted loudly to the others in the research institute, "Miss Fei Hua and Miss Mu Ling have evolved! Come quick!"

shhhhh--

As if they could teleport, the small corner where there were only researchers Wan Cheng and Luo Ningling a second ago suddenly had three, four, five or six more figures.

Everyone in the research institute, including Qiao Bai, came; not a single one was left out.

"The Light of Evolution..." Luo Ningling stared blankly at the pink light emanating from Miss Feihua and the tender green light emanating from Miss Muling, and murmured, "I never thought that one day I would actually see these two colors of light on Feihua and Muling."

It symbolizes the light of evolution.

Miss Feihua and Miss Muling, as Luo Ningling's initial contracted pets, held completely different meanings for her.

All her most beautiful fantasies about the profession of beast tamer were once embodied in these two pet beasts.

pity.

The events that followed made Luo Ningling completely abandon these unreliable ideas, and her requirements for Miss Feihua and Miss Muling became simply that they should be well.

May you be free from illness and disaster, happy and healthy.

These dreams were once extremely difficult to achieve.

Fortunately, Luo Ningling met Qiao Bai, which brought a new turning point to everything.

The physical problem has been resolved.

The problem of evolution was solved along with it.

Double happiness, this is truly a perfect example.

Miss Flying Flower and Miss Wood Spirit took a while to evolve, but everyone observed and waited patiently.

As I watched...

"Are the evolutionary lights on Miss Feihua and Miss Muling showing a tendency to merge?" Chu Yanyi asked, stroking her chin and looking uncertainly in Qiao Bai's direction.

Just a little bit.

There seems to be some trace of fusion at the edges.

Qiao Bai observed carefully: "It's not an illusion, it is indeed merging."

The delicate pink of cherry blossoms and the tender green of grass slowly blend together, merging from their initial distinctness to becoming inseparable, truly merging into a refreshing pink-green hue with a touch of girlish charm.

at the same time.

The light finally faded.

Two of the pets were revealed.

Luo Ningling subconsciously held her breath and cautiously looked at the two pet beasts—they were the evolved Miss Feihua and Miss Muling.

Before evolution, there was a certain height difference between the two pets.

For example, Miss Feihua is a head shorter than Miss Muling, and with her pink and tender outfit, she looks more like a sweet and lovely little princess.

Although Miss Muling is a little taller than Miss Feihua, her actual height is only about 1.5 meters.

After evolving, Miss Feihua and Miss Muling both reached a height of 1.7 meters, similar to Luo Ningling's, though they were still a little short, around 1.68 meters.

In addition, as extraordinary plant creatures, every part of their bodies appears more slender and delicate, resulting in a significant change in the visual appearance of both pets.

Miss Feihua transformed from a sweet little princess into a graceful and elegant queen, her beauty accentuated by a long, flowing pink dress.

However, the hem of the skirt is decorated with green and white floral and lace elements, just like those on Miss Wood Spirit's clothes.

Miss Wood Spirit transformed from her original simple and serene appearance into a more glamorous and dignified one, resembling a quiet queen. Her original white dress became a pink-white gradient, adding a touch of liveliness and echoing Miss Flying Flower beside her.

Compared to their original unrelated appearances and attire, now when they go out, everyone will think they are sisters.

They are the kind of sisters with a very deep bond.

Qiao Bai activated his talent skill and looked at the evolved Miss Feihua and Miss Muling.

【Pet: Peach Pink Blossom Beauty】

【Attribute: Wood】

[Variety: Intermediate to High-End]

[Level: Intermediate Tier 6]

[Skills: Fragrance, Pink Sweet Mist, ..., Sweet Scent]

[Successfully evolved*]

[Talent Skill: Fragrant Beauty]

【Xiang Shu: Strong, delicate, colorless and odorless floral scents blend into the air from the moment she appears, and can exert different effects, such as healing allies, increasing allies' speed, doubling allies' attack... Every fifteen minutes, a random floral scent will bring a random positive effect to allies (proficiency can be upgraded)】

[Pet: Plain Green Wood Spirit]

【Attribute: Wood】

[Variety: Intermediate to High-End]

[Level: Intermediate Tier 6]

[Skills: Parasite, Entanglement, ..., Shadowless Vine Whip]

[Successfully evolved*]

[Talent Skill: Beauty]

【Colorful Beauty: Bright, elegant, vibrant, and even garish colors will inflict different effects on opponents, such as slowing them down, reducing their defense, and decreasing their attack effectiveness... Every fifteen minutes, a random color attack will bring different negative effects to the enemy (proficiency can be upgraded)】

The grade didn't improve much; it went from mid-level to high-level.

The improvement in strength wasn't significant; it was merely a small increase of one level.

However, none of these things were very important to Luo Ningling. The most important thing was that after their evolution, Miss Feihua and Miss Muling's physical attributes and other aspects were no longer as tightly bound together as before.

Both pets now have more possibilities.

The two pets, whose skills were originally quite similar, have been more specifically divided: one is more inclined towards mental attacks based on scent, and the other is more inclined towards physical attacks.

And these two talent skills are also quite... complementary, very complementary.

One applies a buff to your own allies, while the other applies a debuff to the enemy.

Who wouldn't say these are true sisters after seeing this?

the most important is.

The "Twin Flowers" label has not disappeared.

However, the displayed content is somewhat different from before.

Qiao Bai could also find the previous description of the "Twin Flowers".

【Twin Flowers: A special situation where the mother nurtures two similar yet different life forms simultaneously under special circumstances. They are like two distinct individuals on one tree, sharing potential and abilities. Even a slight imbalance in energy and abilities will affect the other, and they need to maintain an absolute balance (with inherent weakness buffs, shared damage, etc.)】

However, the description of the "Twin Flowers" has changed drastically.

【Twin Flowers: Twin flowers, as long as the distance between them does not exceed 500 meters, the one that is more seriously injured will automatically regenerate health at a rate of 1% per minute until its health bar is fully restored.

In combat, if one of the sisters still has stamina and vital signs are intact, the other sister will immediately enter a state of invincibility (locking in the last drop of blood) even if she suffers a fatal blow.

Qiao Bai: "!"

Good guy!

An infinite health regeneration cheat, huh?

As long as neither is completely defeated, the other will gradually recover. Once the more seriously injured party recovers, the less seriously injured party will also recover along with it.

Qiao Bai could already imagine, especially in doubles, if the opponent encountered two bound pets like these... their mentality would collapse, their mentality would really collapse in a minute.

the most important is--

Qiao Bai remembers.

Miss Feihua and Miss Muling's true, fully evolved form should be the [Twin Beauties of Qiluo].

【The Twin Beauties of Qiluo: Miss Feihua → Peach Pink Feihua Beauty; Miss Muling → Plain Green Muling Beauty; Peach Pink Feihua Beauty + Plain Green Muling Beauty = The Twin Beauties of Qiluo】

and so……

Qiao Bai's gaze lingered on the two evolved pet beasts.

Is this form not their final, complete evolution?

"Flying Flower! Wood Spirit!" Luo Ningling was unaware of Qiao Bai's thoughts. She looked at the evolved Flying Flower and Wood Spirit with great excitement.

Whether it's a coincidence or not, the names of the evolved Miss Flying Flower and Miss Wood Spirit do indeed contain their original names. Flying Flower and Wood Spirit moved in unison, tilting their heads to look at Luo Ningling like mirror images.

"moya~"

Aren't the Beast Tamers happy? Flower is super happy! Now she can become even stronger to protect her Beast Tamers!

The joy of the flying blossoms and beautiful colors is visible to the naked eye.

Compared to it, Mu Ling Shu Se's expression was just a little bit... cough cough.

"Nomi~"

It's okay~ From now on, my sister can protect me and the Beastmaster~

That's right!

Evolution cannot transform a saltfish into a curling king.

But what makes a salted fish feel more at ease nibbling at its older sister, especially when it's accompanied by its beast tamer?

Qiao Bai and Luo Ningling, who understood what Mu Ling Shu Se was saying, were speechless.

The smile froze on her face.

Qiao Bai decided to shift the stiffness off his face.

"Ahem." Qiao Bai coughed twice, immediately drawing the attention of everyone around him: "It's like this."

Facing several pairs of bright eyes staring at him, including the small, flowery eyes of Fei Hua Shu Se (pink on the outside, green on the inside) and Mu Ling Shu Se (green on the outside, pink on the inside), Qiao Bai was not at all guilty. Instead, he spoke in a serious tone.

"That's right." Qiao Bai pointed to Fei Hua Shu Se and Mu Ling Shu Se: "Based on my research on Miss Fei Hua and Miss Mu Ling, their current evolutionary form is not yet their fully evolved form."

Others: "?"

The question mark represents their hearts.

"If this isn't the evolved form, then what is?" Luo Ningling held Fei Hua Shu Se and Mu Ling Shu Se's hands, one on each side, her face full of doubt.

"That's what I wanted to say. As you can see, their twin flower characteristics are very obvious now. You can tell at a glance that they are sisters, right?"

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing Qiao Bai's words.

That's how it is.

It's obvious that we're intertwined.

"Twin flowers, twin flowers, growing side by side, they should be able to evolve by combining, understand?" These few words left everyone, including Luo Ningling, momentarily stunned.

Wait...wait?

Twin flowers growing side by side?

Fusion evolution?

Why do they feel that their native language has suddenly become obscure and difficult to understand?

"Don't fool yourself, that's exactly what I meant." As he spoke, Qiao Bai gave Mu Ling Shu Se a mischievous look: "Although I can't be sure, I still suggest that the overall strength of the evolved Fei Hua and Mu Ling should be kept at a relatively close level. Even if there is a difference, it should only be a tiny bit, really a tiny bit."

Qiao Bai gestured the size of half a little fingernail.

No more than that.

"You'll need to research the fusion evolution yourself. Theoretically, it's feasible, and this fusion evolution can be dispelled." The prerequisite is that the difference in strength between the two is not too great, which allows for arbitrary fusion and dispelling.

Qiao Bai didn't say what came next, but Luo Ningling was not unaware of it.

She definitely wouldn't be able to figure it out on her own, but since Qiao Bai had already fed her, Luo Ningling still had that kind of associative ability.

That's why Luo Ningling's face was full of shock.

"Okay!" Luo Ningling, finally coming to her senses, nodded heavily: "I will definitely keep a close eye on Feihua and Muling after their evolution... As for Feihua, she's really self-disciplined. I might even have to worry about her pushing herself too hard with extra training."

Fei Hua Shu Se gave a faint, shy smile, but did not deny Luo Ning Ling's words.

"Then I'll just keep an eye on the Wood Spirit!" Luo Ningling nodded and said with a relaxed smile.

Originally, Mu Ling Shu Se thought she could lie flat like a salted fish, but then she accidentally rolled over, sprinkled some salt off herself, and lived a happy and carefree life: "?"

and many more? !

It didn't want to!

The Wood Spirit Shuse stretched out its long, tender green vines as if to express its resistance, but was stopped by the Flying Flower Shuse beside it.

"mmiya~"

Don't worry, little sister~ Watch your big sister take you flying!

Mu Ling Shu Se: Refusal to Like, Comment, and Share.jpg

……

Star City.

The headquarters staff, who had finally had four days of rest, were called up by a phone and ordered to arrive at the Beast Taming Alliance headquarters within an hour for a meeting!

Staff members from various departments: "..."

"Very good, no need to say more, I understand, I know it perfectly well, it's Qiao Bai, it must be Professor Qiao Bai!"

"Four days... adding the time before, it's only been a week in total, right? Great, Professor Qiao Bai truly lives up to his reputation! Waaah! My vacation!"

"Professor Qiao Bai, my vacation nemesis!"

In less than half an hour, the staff members demonstrated their extraordinary abilities, each displaying their unique skills by riding different pet vehicles, from light-year dragons flying in the sky to snow wolves running on the ground to island turtles swimming in the water—they used everything they could.

He put into practice what it means to say one thing but mean another.

The more they complain, the more proactive they are in their actions.

"Four days... We've only rested for four days, and Professor Qiao Bai has already figured out the new evolutionary paths for Miss Fei Hua and Miss Mu Ling?" A staff member opened his computer: "Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian, report on the situation at Professor Qiao Bai's place."

"Okay, Xiaoqian received it. Xiaoqian is reporting now."

A mechanical yet lively voice rang out, quickly reporting the latest news received from New York City and keeping the information within a certain scope.

"Xiaoqian has found that a certain number of people are paying attention to Professor Qiao Bai's actions. The news cannot be completely blocked. Should we activate the special emergency plan?" Just then, the data on the computer screen flickered twice, and Xiaoqian's voice rang out again.

Staff member: "?"

"Remove from the list."

He wanted to see who was watching Professor Qiao Bai... Oh, Zhou Xinran, Professor Qiao Bai's teacher.

Then there are some of Qiao Bai's classmates.

And... "Su Fang, Fan Dongyang, Wang Xi... who are these people, and what is their relationship with Professor Qiao Bai?" The staff member's face showed obvious doubt and confusion.

With a "whoosh," Qianji quickly brought up the power rankings for the South China region, and these people's names were right below Qiao Bai's.

Qiao Bai's name quietly sat at the top of the list.

The staff member who saw this list and was reminded of Qiao Bai's true ambitions was speechless.

Frustrating.

That is to say, it's a bit of a headache.

Tell me, why are the beast tamers in South China so weak?

Couldn't we have dealt Professor Qiao Bai a blow in terms of strength, so that he would give up this path and focus on properly researching the evolution of pets?

It's one thing if they're willing to wait, but they'd be even happier if Professor Qiao Bai could come back to study the evolution of pet beasts!

But...

Sometimes things are just like that; they never change according to their will.

"If that's the case, then it's alright." The staff member asked Xiaoqian to check what information these people knew. After learning that what they knew wasn't very specific, the staff member breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, as if remembering something, the staff member looked at his colleague and said, "Speaking of which... Professor Qiao Bai seems to have figured out a new evolutionary path for the three extraordinary creatures that absorbed the Illusionary Mist, right?"

colleague:"……"

colleague:"!"

Three!

They only then realized what was happening!

They've been studying Qiao Bai non-stop for a while now, to the point that they're almost desensitized to him.

They even felt that whatever results Qiao Bai achieved was only natural and expected!

Now that their brains have calmed down, they finally realize—normal my ass!

The official research over the years has yielded fewer than a handful of new evolutionary paths for extraordinary creatures that have absorbed the Illusory Mist. And Qiao Bai, in just one month? Less than a month?

In short, they developed three in a very short period of time!

Three!

After being reminded, the Alliance headquarters finally came to its senses and descended into madness.

"Holy shit! Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! I know it's wrong to swear, but I just can't control myself!"

"Professor Qiao Bai is awesome! Holy crap! What kind of god-like being has Professor Qiao Bai descended to earth?"

"Calm down, calm down...we need to calm down! Wait! If that's the case, then aren't the treatment we discussed for Professor Qiao Bai inappropriate? After all, Professor Qiao Bai's brilliance...far surpasses what normal people can imagine!"

The group paused for a moment as they spoke.

You look at me, I look at you.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

Needless to say.

Understood.

What follows is a crazy hell of overtime.

But for Professor Qiao Bai, for the future of the nation—their hard work and overtime are worthwhile! Valuable!

Go for it!

When Huangzhou rushed to the scene, he was greeted by a group of staff members who seemed to have been injected with adrenaline.

Huangzhou: "?"

"Wow, no wonder they're headquarters staff, their work ethic is amazing!" Huang Zhou said with a shake of his head, then strolled into the headquarters building and sat down in his personal mascot's spot.

What?

Joining the workforce?

But he represents Qiao Bai!

He's sitting here to fight for Qiao Bai's interests!

Huangzhou: Feeling great.jpg

We must do everything we can to maximize Qiao Bai's benefits!

Today is a beautiful day too!

……

Bluebird University.

Today is the day Qiao Bai and Chu Yanyi return to work and cancel their leave.

"Haha, I shouldn't be late, right?" Qiao Bai laughed awkwardly as he looked at Zhou Xinran sitting in the swivel chair.

Zhou Xinran turned to the side, resting her chin on her hand. Her long, black-clad legs, which couldn't fit under the desk, stretched out to the side, and her hands behind her gold-rimmed glasses looked Qiao Bai up and down.

Under Zhou Xinran's all-around gaze, Qiao Bai's smile grew increasingly awkward.

Seeing that Qiao Bai was about to break down, Zhou Xinran withdrew her scrutinizing gaze.

"Tell me, what incredible things have you been up to in places I don't know about?" Zhou Xinran said softly, tucking a strand of long hair behind her ear.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai's eyes showed genuine sincerity, and a moment of visibly confusion followed.

Something incredible?

Has he done anything extraordinary?

Just like usual, do what you're supposed to do.

Qiao Bai began to seriously consider Zhou Xinran's question.

Seeing that Qiao Bai looked really confused, Zhou Xinran, who originally just wanted to tease Qiao Bai, also found things to be interesting.

"Huh? You really don't know anything?" Zhou Xinran tapped the table with one hand, her voice laced with amusement. "So you didn't know you didn't have to take the final exams?"

Qiao Bai: "!"

"Wait a minute!" Qiao Bai was taken aback. "Didn't you message me a couple of days ago saying that finals week starts tomorrow? How come I don't have to take exams anymore?"

"Professor, are you going to fail my course right away?!" Qiao Bai was getting a little flustered.

Although he doesn't really care about perfect results.

However, as a student raised under the Chinese education system, Qiao Bai felt that it was best to avoid things like "failing a course" or "failing a grade" if possible, otherwise he would feel ashamed!

At least a score of 60 is good enough.

Seeing that the usually calm Qiao Bai suddenly showed a panicked expression, Zhou Xinran couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you thinking? How could I possibly fail your course?" Zhou Xinran was in a good mood, and the next second she dropped a bombshell: "As for why you don't have to take the final exam... of course, it's because you got promoted!"

"This is your honorary professorship certificate." With that, Zhou Xinran took a certificate out of the drawer and pushed it in front of Qiao Bai.

"Congratulations on graduating from Bluebird University ahead of schedule. However, you can still freely travel around Bluebird University and choose any courses you want to attend." Zhou Xinran paused here, "Even courses that are not related to pet evolution can be attended as long as they are of interest to you, without needing to take exams."

"If you're interested, you can also start a class, but whether or not students choose your class is beyond the school's control." Zhou Xinran spread her hands, looked into Qiao Bai's eyes, and said with a smile, "I forgot to congratulate you earlier, Level 3 Researcher Qiao Bai."

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai glanced at Zhou Xinran, then looked down at the honorary professor certificate on the table.

Open it.

The photo posted above is indeed his one-inch passport photo.

There was also a steel stamp next to it that could not be imitated.

Everything was perfectly compliant and legal.

Aside from the fact that Qiao Bai himself thought the matter sounded... a little absurd.

Did he attend school for one semester?

No.

The final exams haven't even started yet.

He suddenly graduated.

Then, he suddenly transformed into an honorary professor at Bluebird University.

"This is no joke, is it?" Qiao Bai's voice still carried a hint of confusion and disbelief.

Zhou Xinran glanced at Qiao Bai: "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I tried calling Chairman Huang earlier but couldn't get through, so I thought I'd ask you to see if you know anything."

"But you're already a Level 3 Researcher. Ignoring your diploma and your specific reserves of basic and advanced knowledge, the title of Honorary Professor at Qingniao University isn't an unattainable position for you. In fact, I think it's a bit too low." Zhou Xinran pouted. "Qingniao University doesn't have many Level 3 Researchers that are truly outstanding."

Qiao Bai's academic achievements are more than enough to make him a full professor at Qingniao University.

Zhou Xinran even dared to say that as long as Qiao Bai revealed this intention, TOP2 would vie to hire Qiao Bai as a full professor at their school.

Not an exaggeration at all!

Qiao Bai coughed twice: "An honorary professorship is fine. If I were to become a full professor, it would actually be a constraint for me."

Full-time professors have better benefits, but they also have more responsibilities.

Just like Zhou Xinran.

Qiao Bai wasn't particularly envious.

Moreover… a knowing look appeared on Qiao Bai’s face.

"What's on your mind?" Zhou Xinran, who had been paying attention to Qiao Bai, immediately noticed the change in his expression.

"Um...maybe." Qiao Bai scratched his cheek and said simply, "I recently started two research projects to study the new evolutionary paths of the Violent Giant Bear, Miss Flying Flower, and Miss Wood Spirit."

Qiao Bai did not mention the Illusionary Mist.

He wasn't sure if Zhou Xinran knew, so Qiao Bai decided not to say anything.

Even without mentioning the Mysterious Mist, Zhou Xinran's face still showed an expression of shock and disbelief when she learned that Qiao Bai had researched three new evolution routes for pet beasts in less than a month.

"You...you brat..." Zhou Xinran's pink lips trembled slightly, opening and closing for a long time, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Outrageous.

outrageous.

Qiao Bai's achievements and the time he spent researching pet evolution were already incredibly impressive. He could develop a new evolutionary path in just one month, which would have been completely impossible for other pet professors.
