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

Chapter 162 Angrily throwing away a nine-figure investment just for... Zhou Xinran: These damn rich people!

Qiao Bai was dumbfounded.

"...Here you go, Little Wu, Cat Bug, and Little White Snake." Qiao Bai rubbed his forehead helplessly.

There's nothing we can do.

Let's produce and sell our own products.

Let the little crow, the cat-like insect, and the little white snake take turns feeding the little jellyfish.

Anyway, it's just a ten-minute skill seal, not a big problem. Let's feed the little jellyfish until they're half full first.

Little Wu: "..."

Catbug: "..."

The little white snake curled its tail and made a big question mark at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai: ...cough cough.

A non-existent conscience ached for a moment.

But in front of the gluttonous little jellyfish, Qiao Bai simply couldn't offer any more love.

difficult.

too difficult.

Let's feed these gluttons first, solve their problems, and then we can talk about love!

Otherwise, it's all just empty talk!

Xiao Wu: (￢_￢)

Okay, okay.

Although, but.

A beast tamer is one's own beast tamer.

The baby jellyfish is his little brother.

Then Qiao Bai was surprised to discover—

"Huh? You're full so quickly this time?" Qiao Bai stroked the little bird that had used up all its skills and was nestled comfortably in his arms, his expression somewhat surprised.

Last time, the little jellyfish ate so many skills from the spotted fish and the rainbow bream before it was full.

But this time only Little Wu, one of the pet beasts, took action, and Little Jellyfish actually showed that it was full.

Qiao Bai suddenly became more curious about the stomach capacity of the little jellyfish.

"Quality can compensate for quantity."

Just then, the "angel" kindly spoke up and resolved Qiao Bai's doubts.

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

The quality of the skill... "Is it because Little Wu awakened its bloodline, or because Little Wu absorbed mythical energy?"

uncertain.

If there are other pets that have absorbed mythical energy, Qiao Bai can give it a try.

However, the other pet that absorbed the mythical energy was the little jellyfish itself.

Thinking about this, Qiao Bai couldn't help but become curious—that is to say, is it possible for the little jellyfish to be full if it feeds him with its own skills?

Does this mean that a perpetual motion machine can be created?

cough cough.

Qiao Bai isn't some kind of devil.

I just thought about it and then put the unreliable idea aside.

It's impossible for a perpetual motion machine to exist. The most likely scenario is that the jellyfish couldn't make ends meet, its income and expenses were unbalanced, and it simply starved to death.

As for the "angels" who also replenished a large amount of mythical energy, Qiao Bai never considered them from the beginning.

Do you know how difficult it is to replenish the energy of an "angel"?

For Qiao Bai, "Angel" is a trump card.

I don't want outsiders to know.

The kind of thing that you would never take out and use unless absolutely necessary.

"By the way, Angel, we also need to take care of your matter." Thinking of this, Qiao Bai suddenly said, "Existence leaves a trace. Since you're in my phone, I need to give you a legitimate and legal identity."

"Ideally, it would be like my pet animal."

"Do you mind, or do you have any other thoughts?"

Qiao Bai looked at the big eyeball on the phone screen and asked.

The "angel" blinked: "The angel accepts your suggestion. The angel is your partner, and can also be your pet."

"I suggest you publicly declare that the race of angels is the Thousand Machines."

Qiao Bai: "?"

It sounds familiar.

I can't remember.

Some kind of special, extraordinary creature?

Qiao Bai checked and found out that a certain type of web crawler, which can be considered a semi-artificial intelligence, can often produce unexpected results on the network.

Apart from the limited quantity, everything else is great.

Qiao Bai looked at the introduction of Qianji, then looked at the "angel" and said sincerely, "You are much more intelligent than Qianji."

"But as a false identity, it is indeed quite suitable."

Is there anything wrong with calling artificial intelligence and artificial stupidity both intelligent life forms?

No.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for "Angel" to claim that it is a thousand machines.

Even if one accidentally expresses a little bit of intelligence or ability that is slightly beyond one's normal level...

Isn't Qiao Bai still here?

"If I leave the problem to Qiao Bai, he can solve it easily," the "angel" thought confidently.

then--

Qiao Bai took a break and went out for a while, mainly to enter the forbidden area to pick some special herbs. On his way out, he also went to the Pet Alliance, and that's how "Angel" got his registration.

When Huang Zhou learned that Qiao Bai had discovered and contracted a Thousand Machine, he felt a mixture of envy and jealousy, but mostly he was happy for Qiao Bai.

"It's good to have an intelligent life form to help you. You're already a Level 3 Researcher, and to be honest, your workload is quite heavy. Now that you have a Thousand Machine, things will be different."

"Sigh, never mind. You met him in the forbidden land, right? I'll go try my luck too!"

Huangzhou couldn't wait to set off.

Thousand machines...hehehe!

If he could get his hands on one, his usual duties would be much easier!

This was an irresistible temptation for Huangzhou!

Who wouldn't want their job to be a little easier?

What about wild, untrained sleuths who have never worked on the internet?

Artificial intelligence is a life form; as long as you have enough patience and know how to train it, you'll eventually have a super thoughtful smart helper or housekeeper.

Upon learning that Huangzhou was preparing to depart immediately, Qiao Bai was speechless.

Yep.

His conscience is exhausted, he doesn't feel any pain anymore. Anyway, it's just a matter of making a trip. Uncle Huang probably didn't have much hope either!

But to be honest... having a personal AI assistant does make many things in life much easier.

"Professor Qiao Bai, it's time for you to rest."

"At this time of day, you should be outside exercising with Little Crow, Cat Bug, Little White Snake, and Little Jellyfish, instead of sitting together eating junk food—please don't try to escape the questioning by inviting angels; angels cannot eat."

"Professor Qiao Bai, the little white snake did not meet the training target today. Please do not soften your heart just because it is being affectionate."

"It's time to feed the baby jellyfish."

And so on.

A wide variety of things.

Qiao Bai: It's easy to use, really easy to use, much better than alarm clocks and other wake-up services.

Aside from being overly annoying at times, it has virtually no flaws.

Incidentally, Qiao Bai also broke his bad habit of bringing his phone to the toilet and shower.

I don't really want to talk about what exactly happened during this process.

Qiao Bai: (smiles)

……

"ha?"

Qiao Bai was completely bewildered when he received the call from Lu Yongjin.

"What do you mean?"

"Someone said... they'd be willing to invest in our research institute?"

"Mmm!" Lu Yongjin on the other end of the phone didn't seem to remember that Qiao Bai was blind at all, and kept nodding frantically.

Qiao Bai: "..."

I was a little shocked.

The reason is simply... Qiao Bai had never heard of such a thing before!

Most of the pet professors' research institutes were established with the help of the Alliance.

The institute is also owned by the alliance.

of course.

The achievements made in the research institute belong to the professor of pets personally.

Only a few professors specializing in pet animals have private research institutes, and these institutes must be registered to prevent them from conducting illegal, inhumane, and unethical research in private.

What is the biggest difference between the two types of research?

The former depends on the professor's strength; all needs are met through government employment, so they don't have to worry about anything.

Both resources and funds are provided by the state and government.

All we need to do is share the research findings with the country in the end.

It's true that achievements are personal.

The outcome is mutual.

Finally, this result will be used to generate profit, and the profits will be shared.

Then there are private research institutes.

The state and government do not provide support.

This includes all aspects of funding and materials.

But again.

Ultimately, everything that comes out of the research, whether results or achievements, belongs to the individual.

Profits also belong to the individual.

only.

There are very few truly profitable private research institutes.

It's easier to talk about rich people.

Just playing around.

Spend money recklessly.

Just be happy.

What if you want a private research institute but don't have the money?

Looking for investors.

There are many twists and turns inside.

The benefits and treatment provided by the state and the government are more than enough for Qiao Bai. A simple evolution plan can earn him seven or eight figures. In addition, the share of the profits from beast tamers who purchase specific evolution methods will also be deposited into Qiao Bai's account in installments.

Qiao Bai is definitely not short of money.

Perhaps one day, Qiao Bai will consider setting up a private research institute—for example, when he starts researching the evolution of mythical creatures—but not now.

What Qiao Bai didn't expect was...

Before he even had that idea, people were already eager to invest.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Is he just a fool with too much money, or does he have ulterior motives?

"How much will they invest?" Qiao Bai asked.

"One hundred million." - Lu Yongjin.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Hesitant to speak.

Stop speaking of desire.

Why does it feel like they have ulterior motives?

"He said that if it wasn't enough, he could add more funds, but he only had one requirement," Lu Yongjin continued.

Qiao Bai nodded.

Okay.

Say.

He listened.

He was indeed very interested to hear what kind of purpose could make this unknown guy spend nine figures in one go.

Are you sure you're not crazy?

"Um... He said he hopes to meet you, Professor Qiao Bai. He greatly admires your talent in pet evolution and hopes you can guide him if possible..."

Qiao Bai's conspiracy theories came to an end.

Qiao Bai sensed that something was wrong.

One billion!

That's a hundred million!

Don't be fooled by the fact that many high-end materials cost hundreds of thousands or millions; there aren't actually that many extraordinary beings who can use them.

If a new research topic comes up and the experiment is conducted in a wasteful manner, even a hundred million can be spent for more than half a year.

So much money...

There are so many!

And they said—we can add more!

Qiao Bai: "..."

He swore.

He really wasn't tempted by money.

Given his current situation, is he short of money?

There's absolutely no shortage!

He was just curious about what kind of person could be so... well, so unable to think straight.

Let's meet.

He is a mysterious talent.

……

Luna City.

Hillside villa area.

A man in his early forties, dressed in a sharp, expensive suit with a serious expression, had just opened the door when he heard rustling noises coming from inside.

He paused at the doorway for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the shoe rack.

Upon discovering that a pair of husky plush slippers were missing, his lips twitched a few times before finally settling into a kind smile.

"Ah You, finally out of the lab?" As he walked into the brightly lit, lavishly decorated living room, the man's tone carried an indescribable gentleness and intimacy.

"Mmm!" A young man in his mid-twenties sat at the long mahogany dining table, turning his head to look at the man with a clear, joyful light in his eyes: "Big brother, you're back! I have something to tell you..."

"No rush, eat your fill first," Peng Yizuo said patiently as he sat down to Peng You's left.

Peng You looked at his older brother, his mouth stuffed full, and mumbled, "Big brother, didn't you bring any work back to do?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Yizuo's expression stiffened for a moment.

It was gone in an instant.

His expression returned to normal, and he said without the slightest change in his smile, "Your second sister recently returned, and she has taken over some of the company's business."

"Oh, oh!" Peng You suddenly realized, then said sincerely, "That's good too, Second Sister can help Big Brother with some of the work!"

Peng Yizuo was seething with anger, but he couldn't let it out unchecked.

it is good?

What's so good about it?

Fortunately, his power was taken away by someone else?

Peng Yizuo glanced at his silly younger brother, a dark feeling stirring within him.

The Peng family is a large family.

Their businesses cover all aspects of life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and they have even dabbled in the market of beast taming.

Although it's not exactly a powerhouse, for a conglomerate that isn't overflowing with beast tamers, and whose only members this generation have two children with beast tamer potential, it's quite an achievement to have secured a place in the beast tamer industry.

Two children from the Peng family in this generation have awakened their potential as beast tamers.

They are the second oldest, Peng Guang, who is 31 years old this year.

Peng You, the youngest son in his family, is the third oldest. He is 24 years old this year.

With money coming in, Peng Guang's own potential was also quite good. Although he wasn't particularly strong, he was already a third-tier beast tamer.

Peng You, on the other hand, was slightly inferior, still only a first-level beast tamer, and had not yet broken through to the second level.

In addition, his status as a fifth-tier researcher makes him a well-known genius in Luna City.

After all, everyone knows that.

Although the youngest son of the Peng family has considerable experience in combat, if he trains diligently, he will surely become a powerful beast tamer in time.

I dare not say I'm at the eighth rank.

With the support of the Peng family's wealth, reaching the seventh rank was still a breeze.

Whether it's high-level pets or powerful resources, obtaining them is not difficult for Peng You.

Peng You's dream, however, is to become a professor of pet evolution—a very, very powerful professor of pet evolution.

But...

Perhaps it's just that one spark of inspiration that's lacking in this area.

No matter how much money the Peng family spent and how much support they provided, they were practically using their connections to create a persona for him... cough cough, but the young master himself refused.

In short, starting from the age of eighteen, the young master was given connections to conduct research in the laboratories of various professors specializing in pet animals. With his financial power paving the way, he finally earned the title of a Level 5 researcher at the age of 23.

If nothing unexpected happens, the young master will probably only ever reach the level of a Level 5 researcher.

Fortunately, Peng You is a content person.

Perhaps because he was pampered by his parents from a young age, his parents and older siblings would fulfill his every wish. Even his whimsical dream of becoming a professor of pet animals was made possible by his family.

Peng You was quite satisfied with his status as a Level 5 Researcher.

The day after obtaining his Level 5 Researcher status, the young master couldn't wait to start his own research project and establish a research institute for his first research team experience—without applying for resources from the alliance, purely using his own savings to fulfill his dream.

The alliance naturally turned a blind eye as well.

Anyway, the alliance's resources were not wasted.

Let the young master do whatever he wants.

That's life.

It was basically a large, makeshift operation.

What's wrong with people paying for their own games and finding their own partners to play house?

Whatever.

"Have you heard about that recent news too?" Peng Yizuo sighed and said in a comforting tone, "Ayou, don't be sad. You've been researching for over a year. If you had a little more time, maybe you could have... sigh!"

"It's all Qiao Bai's fault!"

As Peng Yizuo spoke, he glanced at Peng You again, trying to find expressions of agreement, anger, or righteous indignation on Peng You's face.

did not expect……

"Professor Qiao Bai is really amazing!" Upon hearing Qiao Bai's name, young master Peng You's eyes lit up instantly.

The young master waved the fork he used to eat pasta, dancing excitedly, his clear eyes sparkling as if they could glow.

Peng Yizuo, who was choked up, was speechless.

Hesitant to speak.

He maintained his smile with a hint of difficulty: "Ayou, if you're sad, tell your older brother. I know the Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish has been your research topic for over a year, and it's your first research project. Ending it like this must be a huge blow to you..."

"No! I'm not sad!" Peng You didn't detect the malice in Peng Yizuo's words at all. He opened his eyes wide, which were completely untainted by corruption, and looked at Peng Yizuo with sincerity.

"I also think my judgment is absolutely amazing!"

"To think that such a valuable research topic was chosen on the first try!"

"This proves that my judgment is the same as Professor Qiao Bai's! I'm just lacking in ability!" Peng You said, chuckling to himself.

Peng Yizuo: "..."

well.

That's such a great mindset.

It was so good it almost made him vomit blood.

No?

Does this work?

What on earth is Peng You grinning about?

The new evolutionary method for the rainbow finned fish wasn't developed by him!

Peng Yizuo clenched his fist under the table, barely managing to maintain the amiable expression on his face.

Meanwhile, the silly boy next to him said in a loud and boisterous tone, "Hey? Big brother, you don't look too good. Did you collapse from exhaustion at the company during the day?"

"Stop talking to me, go and get some rest!"

Peng Yizuo's well-maintained smile cracked slightly, and his voice sounded like it was being forced out from between his throats: "It's okay, big brother, I'm not tired."

"Ah-You, you've been stuck in the research institute for over a year. You've finally gotten out. How about your big brother takes you to a party to relax?"

He can also turn the tables and trick the little fool.

"No need, brother, my schedule is already arranged!" Peng You slurped down the rest of the pasta in a few bites, filled his stomach, and stood up from his seat.

Peng Yizuo: "?"

He looked completely bewildered.

What is his mentally challenged brother up to now?

Having watched Peng You grow up, Peng Yizuo believes he is quite familiar with Peng You's personality and interpersonal relationships.

If it weren't for the shrewd Peng Guang in the family, he could have already... Peng Yizuo clenched his fist again as he thought of this.

"I'm going to Jinyang City today!" Peng You exclaimed, determined to share his joy with everyone around him.

Peng Yizuo was speechless.

Jinyang City.

What else could his mentally challenged brother do in Jinyang City?

Jinyang City has no friends or classmates of the mentally challenged younger brother, only one... Qiao Bai.

"I can't wait to see Teacher Qiao Bai!" Peng You had no idea that Peng Yizuo was both responsible and speechless, frustrated and grumbling, while the child was happily chattering away.

"Professor Qiao Bai is really amazing!"

"I was just a tiny bit too quick to get into the research institute, otherwise I would have gone to see Professor Qiao Bai long ago!"

"Professor Qiao Bai has discovered many new evolutionary paths for extraordinary organisms!"

"The little fire fox looks so good after evolving into the fire fox queen! And the fairy butterfly that the honey bug evolved into is also super pretty, isn't it? Then there's Professor Qiao Bai's own pet, that one called Little Crow. After evolving, it's a bird of the Golden Crow race. It looks really powerful too."

"And Professor Qiao Bai..."

Peng You spoke as fast as a machine gun.

Over the past year, I haven't paid much attention to Qiao Bai's news, but I do occasionally see news related to Qiao Bai online. I've seen these bits and pieces, but I don't really care about them.

Today, I was forced to catch up on all of Qiao Bai's life stories because of Peng You.

"...If it weren't for the lack of time and the more important matter of seeing Professor Qiao Bai, I would have liked to follow Professor Qiao Bai's example and work at the pet service station for ten days or half a month!" Peng You said with lingering enthusiasm.

As for why it wasn't the same two months as Qiao Bai's...

That's because Peng You is very self-aware of his own situation.

It's hard to say whether he can stay there or not; his older brother and sister wouldn't really let him stay at the pet service station for that long.

Forget it.

Since we can't replicate the experiences and lives of our idols, let's just go and pursue our dreams!

The thought of arriving in Jinyang City, reaching Qingniao University, and meeting Professor Qiao Bai in just a few hours filled Peng You with excitement once again.

"I moved Professor Qiao Bai with my sincerity, and he agreed to meet with me!"

After listening to Peng You's words, Peng Yizuo felt as if his entire being had been cleansed, his mind still incredibly foggy: "..."

Calm down, calm down.

Stay calm, stay calm.

You must not let your silly younger brother lead you astray.

He's just a pet professor, isn't he?

"What time did you buy your ticket? Do you want me to take you there?" Peng Yizuo continued to maintain his image as a good older brother in front of Peng You, asking with a concerned expression.

In reality, I was already thinking about whether I could cause some kind of accident on the way...

The crisp, clean sound of high heels rang out from outside the door.

A woman with long, wavy hair, bright red lips, and long legs strode in from outside and just happened to hear Peng Yizuo's words.

"Don't worry about it, that kid Peng You bought a special ticket." Peng Guang glanced at the malicious Peng Yizuo with his large eyes, which were lined with eyeliner that extended to his temples, and his full red lips curled up high: "Light-Year Dragon Rider Express."

Peng Yizuo was having trouble breathing.

Light-Year Dragon Rider Express...

spendthrift!

What a spendthrift!

The issue is.

Whether it's Peng's parents or his eldest sister Peng Guang, who always feels disappointed in Peng You and thinks he's not living up to expectations, they all spoil Peng You quite a bit in their daily lives.

What?

They could have chosen a slower flight, but instead opted for a five-figure ticket per minute for a light-year dragon ride?

Safe and secure.

buy!

Without the slightest ambiguity.

The thought of the Peng family's money, and the company's money, being wiped out like this made Peng Yizuo feel so heartbroken he could hardly breathe.

main……

Peng Yizuo didn't know exactly how Peng You had moved Qiao Bai, otherwise he would have been even more suffocated.

As for Peng Guang, who knew what Peng You had done.

Completely indifferent.jpg

It's just one hundred million.

As long as my silly younger brother can actually learn something, investing another 100 million is not a problem!

The only thing the Peng family has to offer is money.

Anyway, money is earned to be spent.

What's wrong with spending some money on my silly younger brother?

"What's the problem?" Peng Guang said matter-of-factly, "That kid Peng You is a bit disappointing."

Upon hearing this, Peng You shrank back, trembling as he looked at his second sister.

Peng Guang was only a few years older than Peng You.

Compared to Peng Yizuo, who was a little older and could be his father, Peng You was still more afraid of this older sister.

The answer is age suppression.

Bloodline suppression.

She had absolutely no standing in front of her older sister.

"But this kid isn't really the kind of person who craves pleasure. He occasionally chases after celebrities, and he's also a skilled pet professor and beast tamer. He's just a little excited and wants to get there faster, so let him be." Peng Guang crossed his arms, making his impressive physique even more apparent.

"It's not like our Peng family doesn't have the money."

"Unless this kid tells me he wants to raise a light-year dragon rider, I might consider beating him up and taking him to the neurologist."

Peng Yizuo: Speechless.jpg

Peng You: Quiet as a chicken.jpg

One was left speechless after being confronted. Could Peng Yizuo say that the Peng family was poor?

He simply didn't want to spend money on Peng You.

One was afraid to speak up in the face of her elder sister's tyranny.

Peng Guang's gaze swept over the two men, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

well.

Peng Yizuo's reaction pleased her.

Peng You... barely passable.

However, it's good that my silly younger brother gave up his hopeless pursuit and is now studying it day and night.

She strongly agrees with the idea of ​​going out to see celebrities and relax.

Maybe after seeing how amazing Professor Qiao Bai is, this kid will suddenly have an epiphany, or he'll give up.

Regardless of whether they're thinking about becoming a good beast tamer.

I'd rather go back to the company and be a boring CEO.

Both are good choices.

Peng Yizuo, who was ignored: "..."

As a long-time rival of Peng Guang, who had been secretly fighting to the death with him, he could tell at a glance what Peng Guang was thinking, but... he couldn't say anything.

If Peng You really wants to take control of the Peng family company.

Mr. and Mrs. Peng were definitely the first to raise their hands in agreement.

The biological son finally came to his senses.

Why do they disagree?

After working so hard for so many years, how could parents not want to give their own son the best?

They were adopted or passed on to others.

No matter how nicely they say it.

Compared to their biological children, they are treated differently.

Peng Yizuo was filled with resentment.

pity.

Of the two people present, one took pleasure in provoking Peng Yizuo and wished that Peng Yizuo would break down even more, preferably in front of his parents.

Another one...

"They're here! The Lightyear Dragon Riders are here!" Peng You had no idea that his older brother and second sister were exchanging heated words.

Hearing the notification sound on his phone, he couldn't wait to rush out of the living room and run towards the large courtyard outside.

Peng Yizuo and Peng Guang, left behind: "..."

The two looked at each other, then simultaneously looked away.

"snort!"

"Oh!"

Dislike it.

Seeing him/her is less appealing than going out to see the little fool/little fool.

Foolish #PengYou#Foolish: "?"

"Zzzzzzz"

Making use of his excellent physique as a beast tamer, Peng You quickly climbed onto the back of the Lightyear Dragon Rider and waved to the two people watching him below.

"Big brother, sister, I'm leaving! Don't miss me!"

Light-year dragon rider flapped its wings and took off—

Peng Yizuo and Peng Guang: Very good!

After seeing the little fool off, it's time for the two of them to fight it out!

……

"Your speed is really... fast." Qiao Bai looked at the young man standing in front of him with a shy expression, somewhat surprised.

Peng You finally met Qiao Bai, and he was so surprised that he could hardly speak.

Peng You held on.

"Professor Qiao Bai, I admire you so much!"

"I've read through your entire history!"

"I...I...I...Can I become your apprentice?"

As he spoke, Peng You unconsciously revealed his inner thoughts.

Peng You regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.

Is he in too much of a hurry?

If he states his purpose right away, will Professor Qiao Bai think he is abusing his power?

"If it doesn't work, it's okay...no, no, no...it's alright!"

Peng You managed to say the words "It's okay" with great difficulty.

His facial expression, however, told a different story.

Qiao Bai: "..."

understood.

A devoted fan.

Qiao Bai never imagined that he would one day have a male admirer...

It's a bit outrageous, but it doesn't seem like anything too strange, right?

...It's still a bit strange.

Qiao Bai rubbed his forehead, not really wanting to accept this apprentice who had brought his own investment.

"Isn't the age gap between us a bit...?" Qiao Bai gestured with his hands, trying to get Peng You to understand on his own.

He, Qiao Bai, is 19 years old, a teenager who isn't even 20 yet.

Peng You, 24 years old, is a fully grown adult.

"The successful come first!" Upon hearing this, Peng You thought, "There's an opportunity!"

We must seize this opportunity!

Age doesn't matter!

"You're a Level 3 Researcher, and I'm only a Level 5 Researcher. You're more than qualified to be my teacher!" Peng Youfei said quickly. "I absolutely won't have any objections! My family won't have any objections either!"

Peng You mastered the art of answering questions without a teacher.

Peng You was really going all out to become Qiao Bai's student.

Qiao Bai was surprised that Peng You could actually go this far: "..."

I have some respect for him.

However, we should still refuse those who should be refused.

"Level 5 Researcher?" Qiao Bai's expression was calm and composed, with a smile on his face, but his words made Peng You feel a chill: "What achievements have you made? Tell me, and I'll consider it."

"Actually, I never intended to take on apprentices or students, but you seem really sincere and genuine, so I can give you a chance."

Peng You: Still feeling disheartened

It doesn't warm up at all.

Peng You looked at Qiao Bai with pitiful, puppy-dog eyes: "Professor Qiao Bai, you said... I... I'll try my best!"

Qiao Bai smiled: "Talent, temperament, character, I wouldn't say he's better than me, but I think that's a bit difficult."

Peng You nodded frantically.

He seemed to think that what Qiao Bai said made a lot of sense.

Zhou Xinran, who had just finished class and was on her way back to her office, heard the sounds coming from Qiao Bai's office as she passed by: "..."

Pooh!

shameless!

Zhou Xinran felt like cursing... but she had to admit that what Qiao Bai said... was indeed half true.

Let's set aside his character and moral qualities for now.

There is no one who can compare to Qiao Bai in terms of talent.

There isn't any at all.

nonexistent.

Even if we wait another hundred or two hundred years, we might not see someone like that appear.

The facts are the facts, and I'm not happy about it.

If Qiao Bai had said this to Zhou Xinran, Zhou Xinran would definitely have retorted without hesitation.

But Peng You, upon hearing this, did not hesitate at all!

Is there a problem?

Professor Qiao Bai is absolutely right!

That's it!

Qiao Bai, unaware that Zhou Xinran was outside the door, continued, "It's certain you can't compare to me, but you should be at least half to two-thirds of my level. Surely that's not a problem?"

"My students are too bad, my apprentices are too bad, they're making me lose face too."

"I'm not doing charity work."

Qiao Bai wanted to refuse Peng You, but the demands he made were not just empty words.

Following Peng You's words.

Thinking that he was already a Level 3 researcher, he wondered if he might become a Level 2 or even a Level 1 researcher someday.

This day is probably not far off for Qiao Bai.

We need to start thinking about related matters.

Take taking on apprentices, for example.

Qiao Bai naturally knew.

Thinking that someone could rival him in talent... that's wishful thinking; Qiao Bai skipped that option.

Averaging out your talent is enough.

It doesn't matter if I'm not as good as him.

It can't be too bad.

At the very least, one should be able to deduce the theoretical knowledge from the answers he shares, and then absorb and apply it.

It's that simple.

Peng You: Pitiful, helpless, but he kept nodding.

no problem.

Professor Qiao Bai's statement makes a very reasonable point.

"And then... it's best if you yourself are a beast tamer." Qiao Bai stated a requirement that no other beast tamer professor had when accepting students.

Peng You: "?"

Zhou Xinran, standing outside the door: "?"

No?

What kind of requirement is this?

If that's the case... isn't it a bit too strict?

Human energy is limited.

Trying to balance being both a pet professor and a beast tamer... is really a very difficult thing.

"As for strength... it's the starting point, the stronger the better." Qiao Bai said calmly, "Although the profession of pet professor itself has no threshold, as long as you have scientific research talent, you can become a pet professor."

"But most people only reach level 5 or 4 in their entire lives, and very few can become level 3 researchers."

"Beastmasters and non-beastmasters think and reason differently when facing extraordinary creatures."

Qiao Bai paused for a moment as he spoke.

"Of course, if someone is truly talented in pet evolution research, extremely talented, so talented that it's like they're being fed by God, then whether they are a beast tamer or have the potential to be one becomes irrelevant."

Upon hearing this, Peng You immediately perked up.

"Professor Qiao Bai, I am a first-tier beast tamer!"

Great!

He finally has a place where he meets the requirements!

Qiao Bai continued smiling: "So... what about the achievements?"

"The importance of talent in pet evolution research is greater than being a beast tamer."

Peng You: "..."

withered.

Qiao Bai: Cough cough

Looking into the other person's pitiful eyes, Qiao Bai felt a little soft-hearted.

Half the size of a fingernail.

It's still the little finger.

Qiao Bai quickly hardened his heart.

He really doesn't want to take on any apprentices right now.

I haven't met the right one.

I don't want to go to class.

I don't want to teach students.

more importantly……

Qiao Bai: Shouldn't my ultimate goal be to become a beast tamer?

Professor of Pets?

Whoops!

We'll see!

Peng You was ruthlessly defeated by Qiao Bai.

Fortunately, Peng You's greatest strength is his strong self-regulation ability!

No matter how frustrating or upsetting things were, Peng You could quickly adjust his mindset after encountering them: "Professor Qiao Bai, then... can I join your research institute?"

Qiao Bai: "?"

"Are you sure?" Qiao Bai glanced at the young master with his delicate skin who could easily invest nine figures, and asked somewhat uncertainly.

Upon hearing there was hope, Peng You perked up again, his expression brightening even more: "Yes! I can do it! I've worked in other professors' research institutes before, I have experience!"

I'm really looking forward to seeing the young master.

Moreover, Qiao Bai's requirements for the researchers at his institute were not very high. Peng You himself was a fifth-level researcher, so after thinking about it, Qiao Bai finally relented.

"Alright."

"But you can't be treated specially; your work is pretty much the same as that of a regular researcher."

"If you really can't hold on any longer, you can leave."

Qiao Bai had already said everything he needed to say beforehand.

Peng You had no objection whatsoever: "Yes, no problem! I can forgo my salary! I'll pay Professor Qiao Bai's tuition every month!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

"...No need, I'm really not some kind of 'Skinny Qiao'," Qiao Bai said helplessly.

Ok.

We can now completely rule out the possibility that the young master came with ulterior motives.

After overhearing the conversation between the two, Zhou Xinran was speechless.

A sense of speechlessness filled Zhou Xinran's heart.

What's this called?

Why does this young master, who knows nothing of human suffering, have to experience the hardships of life?

Does his family agree?

Qiao Bai... can barely be considered a person with a sense of morality, otherwise this silly young master would really be taken advantage of without leaving a trace, and his family would have no say in it!

Damn rich people!

Then Zhou Xinran thought of something else... Oh, right, Qiao Bai is now a damn rich man too.

Zhou is rich, but definitely not as rich as Qiao Bai. He has been completely overtaken by Qiao Bai, the rising star. Xinran: ...I don't want to talk, I just want to be quiet.

Why can't there be one more rich person in the world like her!

Qiao Bai, unaware that Zhou Xinran was passing by, was speechless.

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

Which level-three researcher doesn't have some wealth?

At most, he was just a tiny bit more.

A tiny fraction.

This is nothing serious!

soon.

Upon learning that a 100 million yuan investor had become his colleague, Lu Yongjin was speechless.

You damn rich people!
