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

Chapter 156 The role of the clown ultimately falls on one person! Lin Weiwei: I refuse to die for society!

Upon hearing this, Su Zhengming didn't even turn his head.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem that my rainbow-colored unicorn has evolved to be exactly like me?"

Muller: "..."

Ok.

There is no problem at all.

Imagine Su Zhengming with a stunningly beautiful mermaid by his side... Muller didn't know whether he should feel disgusted or envious first.

In short, the current result is the best possible outcome.

Muller circled around the evolved [Luoshui Fish] and [Yao Nu Fish] several times, his eyes practically overflowing with envy and jealousy.

envious.

Hey.

He wanted it too!

Even Old Su's evolved, burly appearance would be fine!

Laughter is one thing.

After looking at it for a while, I think the evolved [Luoshui Fish] is actually quite cool!

It is a kind of unrestrained, wild beauty.

Land dwellers might not find it appealing, but for those of them who grew up by the sea and have seen all sorts of bizarre and extraordinary creatures... this water-attribute extraordinary creature's appearance is quite something.

"Don't even think about it." Seeing Muller's trembling hand about to reach out, Su Zhengming showed Muller no mercy and reached out to push him away.

Muller, holding Su Zhengming's hand, looked at the evolved [Luoshui Fish] with longing eyes and shouted, "Touch! I just want to touch it! I really don't have any other intentions!"

"Even if I had feelings for you, I couldn't possibly have feelings for a rough-around-the-edges fish like you, especially since you're right next to me..."

Su Fang, who was silently watching the show, was speechless.

Su Fang glanced at his evolved fairy fish, which was as beautiful as a fairy emerging from the sea, and his eyes instantly became wary.

The next second, she stood in front of the evolved [Yao Nu Yu], trying to cover the [Yao Nu Yu]'s body with her own thin body.

The process just didn't go very smoothly.

After all, the [Yao Nu Yu] after its successful evolution is more than two meters long, and with the short, gauze-like tail that hovers on the ground, its height is close to three meters.

Muller, who saw Su Fang's actions, was speechless.

Sad.

His heart was deeply wounded.

pity.

No one on the ship sympathized with him.

The answer is the power of foul mouth.

Muller is not only foul-mouthed but also sarcastic; his two consecutive attacks have caused him to completely lose his allies on the yacht.

Facing the united Su Fang and Su Zhengming, Muller cast a mysterious glance toward Qiao Bai... Oh, no, before Qiao Bai could hurriedly refuse to leave their battlefield, Muller himself very tactfully shifted his gaze.

Qiao Bai: Breathed a sigh of relief.jpg

Muller, catching a glimpse of Qiao Bai's expression out of the corner of his eye, felt once again deeply hurt.

"No, I can't stay on this ship for even a second longer," Muller said, his voice filled with endless resentment.

Su Fang and Su Zhengming ignored them completely.

"I challenge you!" Muller shouted once again.

kindness?

This time, both Su Fang and Su Zhengming turned around. One looked at Muller with a "you're asking for it" gaze, while the other looked at Muller with a "are you sure?" gaze.

Back in the spotlight, Müller proudly puffed out his chest: "That's right! I challenge you!"

"I'm going to challenge your evolved Rainbow-scaled Fish with the Spotted Fish! I'll prove that the Spotted Fish is the real YYDS!"

Su Fang and Su Zhengming did not refuse outright, but they were still somewhat hesitant.

Well...

New evolutionary paths and new evolutionary forms are certainly good things, but ultimately, the strength displayed by the evolved pets is what truly tests the merits of these evolutionary paths.

Neither of them had considered fighting before Müller made the request.

after all.

Professor Qiao Bai helped the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish, which had little chance of further evolution, to evolve into a new form. What more could they possibly want?

Regardless of whether the evolved Rainbow-striped Fish can defeat the Spotted Fish, it is definitely much stronger than the original Rainbow-striped Fish.

Now that Muller has gotten involved... Su Fang and Su Zhengming both felt a little embarrassed.

It made it seem like they didn't trust Professor Qiao Bai at all.

Su Fang is alright.

Su Zhengming's dagger-like gaze was once again directed at Mueller: "You just wait, when we get back to the league, I'll make your life miserable."

Muller, who had no idea what he had done: "?"

"You bastard, you're taking revenge on me! You're just jealous of me! Ha! That's for sure!" Muller's main point was that he didn't know how he had offended someone, but he couldn't let his verbal momentum be weak. He went on a rampage, spewing out whatever he wanted, until he had the most imposing presence.

Su Zhengming: "..."

Don't argue with fools.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Muller, seeing Su Zhengming's momentum weaken, started jumping around again: "Fight! Fight! I'll teach you a lesson with my spotted fish!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

This time.

Even Qiao Bai was looking at Muller with the same eyes one would give a Warrior.

Really.

Some people are born with a knack for courting death; they know exactly what posture and expression to use to make the biggest mistake.

The fact that such a person has been able to live to this day is thanks to the fact that his family and friends did not harm him.

It was truly touching.

"Okay, I also want to collect data on the evolved Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish." Qiao Bai stood to the side with his arms crossed, looking like he was eager to watch the show, and said with a smile.

Yep.

He definitely didn't want to see Müller get humiliated.

Muller had no doubt about Qiao Bai's words: "Quickly, let's have a fight first. It'll also help to weaken the spotted fish. Otherwise, I'll be too embarrassed to fight the little girl."

Su, the little girl, Fang: "..."

I want to swear.

But I can't bring myself to say it.

If you fall behind, you will be bullied.

If you are not as strong as others, you should admit it.

As a second-tier beast tamer, Muller's overall strength and experience with his pets were much greater than hers, not to mention the spotted fish, one of his main pets.

The Spectral Fish's combat power is already at the mid-level of the fifth tier, almost on par with Su Zhengming's evolved [Luoshui Fish].

This is why Su Zhengming was so happy after Qiao Bai helped him evolve his Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish—the evolution method of the Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish is too demanding and troublesome. As the saying goes, aesthetics are subjective, and you can't expect every fish to have the same aesthetic sense.

Therefore, some people's pets are only at the fifth-tier intermediate level, but they are already evolved into the spotted fish.

Some people have already reached the mid-level of the fifth rank with their Rainbow Scaled Fish, but they are still unable to evolve.

The strength, energy, and potential of those who evolve and those who don't are different in every aspect.

This is one of the reasons why Müller is so confident in challenging Su Zhengming.

As long as Su Zhengming doesn't bring out his strongest pet beast, the Siren of the Western Sea, Muller believes he has a fighting chance—the outcome is evenly matched, with their strengths being roughly equal.

Su Zhengming's Rainbow-patterned Fish has now evolved.

They both desperately wanted to know who was stronger.

Qiao Bai and Su Fang sat under a parasol, surrounded by a circle of pets, some belonging to Qiao Bai and some to Su Fang.

Among them, the Yao Nu fish is the largest.

Both Qiao Bai's pet and Su Fang's own pet were very interested in the evolved Yao Nu Fish.

All the big eyes were fixed on the Yao girl fish.

The Yao Nu fish is not only beautiful, but also has a very good temperament. It gently slapped its tail a few times, and the hazy veil on its body reflected colorful luster in the sunlight.

Pets: Oh ho—Fairy Fish—Let's stick together!

The pets swarmed and stuck their stickers all over the fairy fish, while Qiao Bai and Su Fang watched this scene with smiles on their faces.

The two people waiting nearby for Qiao Bai, the referee, to give the final word and start the fight: "?"

There was still no sound.

Turning my head, I saw this peaceful and serene scene.

A row of question marks appeared above the heads of the two people.

No?

Don't you feel like something's not quite right?

"Ahem." Noticing their gazes, Qiao Bai coughed lightly twice, his fist pressed against his lips. "Alright, both teams, get ready."

take a look.

The yacht is temporarily anchored in this area of ​​the sea.

The two of them are already in their positions.

The spotted fish and the Luoshui fish have also gone into the sea.

There's not much more to say.

"Three, two, one—the game begins."

"Spotted Fish, Surf! Go! We have to teach Old Su a lesson this time!" Muller gestured excitedly, directing the spotted fish submerged in the seawater. "We have to show them what we spotted fish are capable of!"

"gupu——"

The spotted fish blows bubbles.

The spotted fish wanted to roll its eyes.

lesson?

The spotted fish felt a faint pressure coming from the big-headed fish opposite it. Even though it was soaking in seawater, its whole body was trembling involuntarily. But it had a breath of life to keep it going. It couldn't lose!

We can't give up so easily!

surf!

Huge waves gathered beneath the spotted fish's body, lifting it up as if a skateboard were tossing it high into the air and rapidly approaching the Luoshui fish on the opposite side.

"Water cannons! Charge at the waves beneath it!"

As this was Su Zhengming's first battle after the evolution, he didn't yet have a sufficient understanding of the evolved Luoshui Fish. He didn't want to use too many tricks; his goal was to test the original Rainbow Scale Fish's skills while engaging in a serious battle, and see if they could unleash even greater power.

Shatter the waves!

While dealing with the crisis posed by the rapidly approaching spotted fish, you can also launch a subtle, probing attack on the spotted fish.

then……

"A water column?"

"You son of a bitch..."

Looking at the enormous, surging column of water, one meter in diameter and ten meters high, Muller couldn't help but swear.

No?

You call this a water column?

Are you sure this isn't a joke?

Does this thing even deserve to be called a water column?!

Even water cannons aren't this exaggerated!

bang——

Great justice prevails!

Bigger is better than nothing!

The enormous water column, which didn't resemble a water column at all, didn't require any precision when attacking; it just randomly and indiscriminately slaughtered the spotted fish.

The spotted fish was hit directly in the body!

bang bang bang-

Even in the ocean, a spotted fish struck by a blow is thrown more than ten meters away by the force of the impact.

Spotted fish: Gone.jpg

Muller: "..."

Su Zhengming: "..."

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with the same shock and confusion.

Müller: Huh? That's it?!

Su Zhengming: ...That's it?

Chinese characters are a profound and extensive culture.

Müller was incredibly irritable and couldn't accept the result.

Su Zhengming was even more confused. "No, I thought I was just using a basic attack, but I didn't expect you to just kill me directly?"

Oh.

GG not yet.

He simply passed out.

There is not much difference.

Muller: "..."

I felt humiliated.

He quickly used his spiritual sea beast-taming space to recall the spotted fish, which was still unconscious.

"This...this is really too..." Su Fang watched as the battle began with Muller's provocation. He had thought the process would be quite intense, but unexpectedly...it ended so abruptly in such a dramatic way.

Su Fang was still somewhat bewildered.

Take a look at Su Zhengming's Luoshui fish.

Then look at the Yao Nu Fish, which evolved at the same time as Su Zhengming but has completely different forms...

In the blink of an eye.

The pets that were just happily cuddling with Yao Nuyu have all started playing games around her.

"Slurp—"

They started playing on the Yao Nu fish's body like a slide.

As they slid down from the shoulders and neck of the Yao Nu fish, the Yao Nu fish gently flicked its large, beautiful tail twice, like a light veil, gently supporting the pets.

There wasn't a trace of annoyance or displeasure on his face.

Led by the Catworm, the Little White Snake, the Little Jellyfish, the Ice Mandarin Duck, and the Two-Headed Jade Entangled also happily joined in. Only the Little Crow and the Long-Finned Sea Monster, whose size was a third of the Yao Nu Fish, were unable to join the game and watched quietly from the side... watched quietly, with a hint of indescribable grievance in their eyes.

Qiao Bai turned around and met Xiao Wu's gaze: "..."

"Come here." Qiao Bai helplessly opened his arms, revealing his broad embrace.

Little Wu: "..."

Fine.

It's barely passable.

Although it still prefers to play on the fairy fish slide.

Little Wu grumbled and complained as it nestled into Qiao Bai's arms.

╭ (╯ ^ ╰) ╮

It's not that birds can't play.

But the bird is the boss.

Birds need to maintain their image.

"Alright, alright, that's good enough. Our little Wu is a beautiful lady." Qiao Bai stroked the little Wu's feathers one by one, and soon the little Wu forgot her frustration at not being able to play on the fairy fish version of the slide, and comfortably sprawled out in Qiao Bai's arms.

Su Fang, who was being looked at with a complaining gaze by the long-finned sea monster, was speechless.

Su Fang: "...Stop looking, you're almost as big as me now. I'll just give you a good bath later."

Water-type pets love to take baths, but bathing them is a troublesome and time-consuming process, and it can easily turn into a water fight.

Therefore, unless necessary, Su Fang rarely bathes his pets at home himself.

"Wumu—" Barely acceptable!

The longfin siren flapped its long fins on both sides, making a sound, and said with an expression that said, "It's alright."

After being hit by this series of punches, Su Fang almost forgot what he had been looking at.

Turning my head again, I saw Uncle Su Zhengming jump into the sea for some reason, and was hugging the evolved Rainbow-striped Qilin Fish to bond.

Looking at Muller, he was squatting quietly on the deck, his back to everyone, shrouded in a dark cloud, like a little mushroom reflecting on life.

The injuries to the tarantula are easy to treat; there are specialized instruments on the yacht.

However, the wounds in Müller's heart will probably take some time to heal.

Su Fang's throat tightened slightly.

The strength of the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin after its evolution... is truly beyond expectation!

I initially thought it was just an enhanced version of the variegated bream, and that it would be good enough if it could match the spotted bream, but I never expected this...

One strike!

Only one strike.

It knocked the spotted fish away, ending the battle.

He used a basic attack with the power of a special move.

Was all of this... just Professor Qiao Bai's imagination?

Su Fang took a deep breath and subconsciously looked in Qiao Bai's direction.

As if noticing Su Fang's gaze, Qiao Bai looked up and gave her a questioning look.

Something?

Showing his head, Su Fang still couldn't help but ask, "Professor Qiao Bai, isn't the strength of that evolved Rainbow-Striped Scaled Fish... a bit too exaggerated?"

"Is it exaggerated? It's alright, about what I expected." Qiao Bai said while stroking Xiao Wu's fur. "If there weren't enough suitable materials on the ship, the evolved Rainbow-Patterned Scaled Fish would probably be even stronger."

The main reason is the new evolutionary path. In order to become more beautiful, the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish awakened its bloodline.

Kun.

In the Northern Ocean there is a fish, its name is Kun.

Having awakened such a bloodline... while not necessarily transforming into the Lord of the Ocean, it would definitely make one far stronger than ordinary water-attribute extraordinary creatures.

Not to mention the innate suppression from one's bloodline.

The spotted fish that had not yet awakened its bloodline were naturally also within the scope of this suppression.

So what if you only have 1% of the bloodline?

The difference between 1% and 0% is that obvious.

Furthermore, the evolutionary path of the Luoshui Fish is inherently more inclined towards raging waves, resulting in a significant increase in attack power.

However, Qiao Bai thought about it again.

The Rainbow-patterned Qilin Fish is only so big, and the number of ornaments it can wear is ultimately limited. Evolving and awakening its bloodline in this way... the strongest bloodline awakening level should not exceed 2%.

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai paused his hand as he stroked the little bird's fur, quietly pondering in his mind—

Is this situation caused by the rainbow bream, or by something else?

Insufficient sample size.

uncertain.

Fortunately, the evolution of the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish is really simple. After returning, I'll just throw it into my research institute and let those few people verify it.

After having a larger sample size, Qiao Bai compared the results and got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

After hearing Qiao Bai's words, Su Fang was speechless.

Listen to this.

Is this even human language?

Just ask me, what normal person could utter such Versailles-like words?

Can we grab a little more?

Isn't it powerful enough to turn a basic attack into a powerful move?

Su Fang choked a little.

Su Fang looked at her evolved Rainbow-Patterned Qilin with sparkling eyes—she wondered how strong her evolved Rainbow-Patterned Qilin was.

Even if she sacrificed some of her strength for beauty... she shouldn't be that weak, right?

The key to being a good person is to not hesitate, to dare to think and act, and to start now.

Challenging Qiao Bai...

Su Fang's gaze swept over Qiao Bai's four pet beasts one by one.

Little Wu and Cat Bug... I feel like I can't win. Just think, Qiao Bai only used these two pet beasts to reach the top of the combat power ranking.

What are you hitting?

What can we use to fight?

Even the evolved Rainbow-striped Fish won't work.

Then there's the little white snake and the little jellyfish.

Su Fang didn't want to say anything more about the little jellyfish; saying more would just be repeating the water that had accidentally gotten into her brain before.

So the most suitable one in the end seems to be the little white snake... One reason is that Su Fang didn't intend to bully weaklings, and the other is that Su Fang wasn't sure if Qiao Bai's pets actually had any suitable weaklings for her to bully.

Just look at the little jellyfish. Would Qiao Bai possibly contract an ordinary pet beast with nothing special about it?

Su Fang: I don't believe it :)

Whether you believe it or not is not important. In short, the final conclusion is that Qiao Bai is not a suitable opponent. Her gaze slid from Qiao Bai to Uncle Su Zhengming in the sea and she decisively passed on him.

They seem to be having a great time together, so let's not disturb them.

At last……

"Brother Muller, you promised to fight me!" Su Fang called out loudly in Muller's direction.

Muller turned around quietly: "...I've become withdrawn."

"Uncle Zhengming's Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish was originally around the mid-level of the fifth rank. After evolving, it may be the high-level of the fifth rank or even break through to the sixth rank directly. It's normal for you to lose."

"My Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish has just broken through to the fifth tier after its evolution, and is currently at the low end of the fifth tier. Its strength is about the same as your Spotted Fish. How about we have a battle to see how it goes?"

Su Fang was very sincere in both his expression and tone.

Add to that a very reasonable analysis, and Muller, who had been somewhat listless, suddenly felt alive again and that he could do it again.

That's right!

He must have lost just now because Su Zhengming's Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish evolved and its strength directly broke through to the sixth level, which caught him off guard.

Given that their strengths were roughly equal, he could never have lost so badly!

"Okay!" Muller took off from the spot.

She jumped up with her hands on her hips, her face beaming: "You're such a kind girl! I'll give you a good fight, and I definitely won't let you lose too badly!"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhengming was speechless.

"...We haven't even started fighting yet, and you're already acting all high and mighty?" Su Zhengming stood on Luo Shuiyu's back. The two worked together seamlessly, and Su Zhengming easily climbed back onto the yacht in a few moves. Luo Shuiyu also jumped up and followed.

Muller, who had just experienced a nightmare, silently looked away.

He didn't want to see Luoshui fish anytime soon.

To attack someone.

The psychological blow that the Luoshui fish dealt him was immense.

Su Zhengming's lips twitched: "You really know how to deceive yourself."

Even if his Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish evolves and upgrades to the sixth rank, so what?

Is it normal for a sixth-tier pet to instantly kill a fifth-tier mid-level pet?

not to mention.

Su Zhengming could clearly sense through the contract that the evolved Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish was only at the advanced level of the fifth rank, far from reaching the level of the sixth rank.

As I tried to expose them, I felt a burning gaze from the side.

It was the little girl's pleading gaze.

Su Fang: Uncle! You're my real uncle! Don't expose me! Look how suitable Muller is as a matchup!

Su Zhengming shut his mouth.

Ok.

Out of consideration for the young girl, Su Zhengming ultimately said nothing.

It was similar to the previous battle.

The only difference is that Su Zhengming has been replaced by Su Fang, and Luoshui fish has been replaced by Yao Nu fish.

The Yao fish leaped into the water with a single dive, creating almost no splash.

With a turn, the Yao Nu Fish emerged from beneath the sea again.

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

"This is really...so beautiful!" Muller's mouth dropped open into an "O" shape.

good looking.

The evolved Yao Nu fish is already very beautiful.

It wasn't until Yao Nuyu entered the water that they realized that what they saw on the yacht wasn't the peak of Yao Nuyu's beauty. As a water-attribute pet, the ocean and the currents only served to embellish and accentuate Yao Nuyu's beauty.

Hibiscus from clear water.

Muller managed to discern in the Yao girl fish a beauty that could bring ruin to a country and its people.

"Snap—"

A crisp sound rang out.

Su Fang and Su Zhengming turned around to look.

Qiao Bai also looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Then I saw Muller slap himself in the face.

"Müller, oh Müller, where is the bottom line of being a human being?" Müller murmured, looking at his palms. Then he couldn't help but glance at the Yao Nu fish, whose body was still covered in water droplets, which shone with a unique and beautiful beauty in the sunlight.

"People cannot... cough cough, or at least shouldn't."

Su Fang's gaze toward Muller gradually became strange.

Muller: "...Battle, battle, I wasn't thinking about anything."

Muller said quickly.

If he hadn't been so guilty that he didn't dare to look Su Fang in the eye, perhaps Su Fang would have believed her lies.

Su Fang, who had taken the initiative to request the battle but was inexplicably filled with anger, showed no mercy from the very beginning.

"Use the water cannon!"

What?

Water column?

No, no.

She needs to help Muller clear his head.

Water cannons are better.

then……

Suddenly, four distorted water levels appeared on the once calm sea surface, with the spotted fish right in the middle.

Muller immediately realized something was wrong.

"Spotted fish, surf!"

Move quickly and get out of here.

Müller reacted quickly enough.

However, the seawater changes even faster on the surface.

The water level, which had initially appeared slightly distorted and harmless, suddenly surged with a series of "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds the moment the spotted fish moved.

The water suddenly burst forth from the seabed!

A massive barrier, ten meters high, surrounded the colorful fish from all directions.

How to break through from all sides?

impossible!

Immediately following, a precise water wall bulged up—Boom! Boom boom boom!

Countless streams of water condensed and attacked the spotted fish in the center.

Muller felt a chill run down his spine.

"The spotted fish has escaped from beneath the surface!"

You cannot stay within the area enclosed by the wall.

Lingering for even a second longer is disrespectful to tactics.

however……

The spotted fish had just dived into the sea and hadn't even rushed out yet when it was swept up from the seabed by an even stronger current!

Bang!

This time, not only the water walls on all sides, but even the area of ​​sea surface where the spotted fish emerged was subjected to a dense, machine-gun-like attack—

Müller must repeat himself using the same phrase: Water cannon? Who in their right mind would call this thing that fires out of nowhere, like a machine gun, a water cannon?

Müller, who had suffered a series of heart attacks, had given up the fight.

Got it, got it.

Another one that can't be beaten.

He perfectly embodied the Joker role today.

Muller: He's come to terms with it, given up, and decided to lie low. Maybe he can still put up a fight if he contracts another Rainbow-patterned Qilin.

Su Fang and Su Zhengming were also astonished by the strength displayed by Yao Nuyu.

"Goodness!"

Su Zhengming patted Luo Shuiyu's head, unable to help but exclaim, "I thought my Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish was already powerful after evolving, but I didn't expect yours, Su Nier, to be even more amazing!"

Su Fang nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

Professor Qiao Bai

YYDS!

From this day forward, she will be Professor Qiao Bai's devoted follower!

What?

Professor Qiao Bai is ranked above her on the combat power list?

Whoops!

Su waved his hand dismissively, saying it was no big deal!

I must say it again—Professor Qiao Bai's lack of focus on research is truly the biggest regret in the research community!

Qiao Bai: "..."

This is not the way to repay kindness with enmity.

……

"aqiu——"

Fan Dongyang, who was enjoying a pleasant holiday at home, gently rubbed his nose.

"I have a bad feeling—maybe it's just my imagination?"

As he spoke, Fan Dongyang checked the combat power rankings.

well.

He still came in third.

Su Fang is still second.

For the time being, no one can take them down.

After glancing once more at Qiao Bai, who had a combat power of over 11, Fan Dongyang lay down on the sofa, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and peacefully closed his eyes.

"That's enough, that's enough for me."

"Surpassing Qiao Bai... impossible, nonexistent. Even a combat power exceeding 10 would kill me. That's it."

Anyway, Su Fang is there to keep him company and allow him to lie peacefully in the realm of 10.

If there's only one Beastmaster who's far ahead of everyone else, then it's not that the people below him aren't strong enough, but rather that the person at the top is too powerful.

The problem is not big.

Lie flat.

No way, really?

Are there really people who don't rest during their winter and summer vacations, or relax during the Lunar New Year, and instead silently engage in intense competition?

It's impossible that such a person doesn't exist; he's just a legend!

Happy holiday begins – Wuhu!

……

Although Qiao Bai was not there.

However, Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan still met up together.

"What is our goal—"

Qi Yue stood with her hands on her hips, her high ponytail swaying back and forth. She was dressed in a simple and capable outfit. She spoke loudly to her two companions.

"train!"

"Get stronger!"

"Smash them all in the training gym!"

Lin Weiwei looked somewhat embarrassed, but still cooperated with Li Gan beside her and spoke loudly.

"That's right!" Qi Yue didn't care at all about the shocked looks from the passersby.

As an extreme individual, Qi Yue's main characteristic is being reckless.

"Qiao Bai has become so strong already! Even if we can't match him, we can't fall too far behind!" Qi Yue's eyes sparkled. "We need to secretly train and get stronger while Qiao Bai is away, and then completely amaze him!"

Li Gan: "Yes! She amazed Qiao Zi!"

Lin Weiwei: "..."

"Have you considered that I'm not a combat-oriented character...?" Lin Weiwei swore that she really didn't want to ruin this exciting atmosphere.

But fighting... isn't that a bit too difficult for someone like her who isn't a professional?

"It's okay." Qi Yue and Li Gan were not affected by Lin Weiwei's words at all.

Both of them are great at creating excitement, so when they get together, the excitement and commotion aren't just doubled, they're squared, and the atmosphere just skyrockets.

"You can help us take care of our pets!" Qi Yue said, shaking her head, exhaling cold air from her mouth. "Besides, I know that you signed up for the Extraordinary Creature Care Competition, right, Weiwei?"

Lin Weiwei: "?"

and many more!

Lin Weiwei was shocked.

She deliberately kept it a secret from everyone, not daring to let them know, so why did Qi Yue still find out?

"Hmph~" Qi Yue put her hands on her hips, her expression incredibly smug: "Anything done will leave a trace. We're best friends, how could I not notice your strange behavior! Are you looking down on me?!"

"Don't worry!" Qi Yue said, waving her hand. "I don't think you're overestimating yourself or anything like that. I fully support you! I believe you can definitely make it to the finals, Weiwei!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Weiwei couldn't help but cover her face with her hands.

She didn't say anything because she didn't want to experience the same social death that Qiao Bai had gone through!

Let's leave aside the question of Qiao Bai's strength.

Such enthusiasm... Lin Weiwei wished there was a crack under her feet so she could disappear and never have to see anyone again.

"Great! Great!" Li Gan, who was hearing the news for the first time, enthusiastically chimed in, "I heard that those participating in this competition are all very skilled and experienced pet caretakers, right?"

"I never expected this, Weiwei. You usually seem so quiet, but you've been holding back a huge thing!"

"We support you! We definitely support and encourage you!" Li Gan said excitedly. "By the way, let's see if Qiao Zi is free then, and bring everyone along!"

"Maybe he can even give you some advice!"

What?

Qiao Bai is a pet evolution major, but has no experience in pet care.

No, no.

Li Gan: In my heart, my dear uncle is omnipotent!

……

Qiao Bai: "Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"

Qiao Bai sneezed seven or eight times in a row, and Su Fang, Su Zhengming, and Muller all looked at Qiao Bai with concern.

"Do you have a cold?"

"Although the temperature in Lingbo City is alright, you should still be a little careful at sea and wear more clothes!"

"Come on, here's some hot cola ginger water, just a couple of sips and you'll be fine!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

Looking at the cola in front of him that smelled strongly of ginger, Qiao Bai hesitated but refused.

I can't drink even a little bit.

Push away.

"It's nothing, it's probably just someone talking about me behind my back," Qiao Bai said seriously.

Then he met three pairs of eyes filled with disapproval.

"Who gets nagged seven or eight times in a row?"

"Professor Qiao Bai, you're not a child anymore, you need to take care of your health!"

"Actually, if it were Qiao Bai, it wouldn't be impossible for so many people to talk about him..."

Su Fang and Su Zhengming both turned to look at the traitor who had changed his story.

Müller whistled innocently, looking up at the sky and down at the ground, avoiding eye contact with them.

Su Fang and Su Zhengming: "..."

Impressed.

Some people are just shameless to this extent.

Su Fang and Su Zhengming abandoned Muller and turned to continue staring intently at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai wanted to refuse and run away from such kindness, but there was no way to escape at sea. In the end, he could only pinch his nose and drink the bowl of cola ginger soup full of "love" in a way that was like pouring poison down his throat.

Su Fang and Su Zhengming turned around and each drank a cup.

If you are sick, get treatment.

Prevention is better than cure.

Getting a cold on a yacht can be quite troublesome.

"It tastes alright, I even think it's a little sweet, but there's not enough ginger." Su Fang finished his cup easily and smacked his lips as he spoke.

Looking at Qiao Bai, whose soul seemed to have left his body, he was filled with confusion.

As for?

It tastes really good!

Qiao Bai didn't want to talk.

People's tastes are like their aesthetic sense; different people simply have different tastes.

"It's not a matter of whether it tastes good or bad, it's just... hard to accept." Qiao Bai waved his hand at Su Fang.

Quietly.

Let him have some peace and quiet.

It's best not to let him know who's talking about him behind his back, or he'll definitely force-feed that person a whole pot of cola ginger soup!

Qiao Bai: A狰狞 (zhengning) face.jpg

We've been at sea for nine days now.

Based on the extraordinary creatures they encountered along the route, Qiao Bai could determine that they were getting closer and closer to the source of the "darkening."

Qiao Bai couldn't be sure if his innate skill, the "golden finger," could tell him the true source of his "darkening."

But you should always give it a try.

If all else fails... gather some nearby sea plants, more severely infected supernatural creatures, and other such things to take back.

Let's put our serious research spirit to good use.

We should still be able to research something useful.

Qiao Bai sighed as he thought about it.

Just then.

Qiao Bai felt the vibration from his phone.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Although, but.

After going out to sea, the cell phone signal was not very good. I could only occasionally find a signal, and then it would disappear completely in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Bai has given up using his phone these past few days.

Aside from checking the time, Qiao Bai rarely looks at his phone.

Unexpectedly, my phone started vibrating.

Could it be that there was a signal and someone just happened to send him a message?

Thinking this, Qiao Bai took out his phone from his pocket.

The screen lit up.

Qiao Bai and the big-eyed tumor on the phone... oh no, angel, four eyes... anyway, their eyes met.

"Hello." The voice of the "angel" I had heard before came from the phone.

Qiao Bai was startled and quickly sat up straight, looking left and right to make sure no one was there before relaxing.

"This isn't the place to talk." Although he didn't know why the "angel" had woken up at this time, Qiao Bai still stood up and prepared to leave the deck to find a quiet place where no one was around to have a proper chat with Him.

The phone's "angel" blinked.

The sound was transformed into text.

Rest assured, we have detected that no eavesdropping or listening devices are operating in the vicinity. Your conversation with the angel will not be leaked.

Qiao Bai looked at the text filling the phone screen, feeling a mix of emotions.

He tapped the bubble that appeared next to the "angel" icon.

I feel like I'm raising a desktop pet.

"So, why did you wake up?"

Qiao Bai asked.

If he remembered correctly, after leaving the alchemy workshop last time, "Angel" went into hibernation due to energy shortage, right?

energy?

Where can he find the energy to power the "angels"?
