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

Chapter 162 Fourth Legion: Look at us! Professor Qiao Bai, this is the empire we've conquered for you!

On the vast, boundless sea.

The enormous, massive steel behemoth, moving slowly through the hazy fog from midnight to dawn, appeared and disappeared intermittently.

"Hurry, hurry, redeem it now!"

It was early in the morning, before dawn.

On the steel behemoth, the Eighth Legion's exclusive naval vessel, everyone, from top to bottom, got up very early.

There was even a group of people who were on guard duty last night, and in the end they simply didn't sleep at all.

Sleep what?

I wonder if the evolution path of the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish will be available in the official League of Legends store today!

buy!

You absolutely must buy it!

"But Professor Qiao Bai is really too low-key." There were still thirteen minutes left, and everyone in the Eighth Legion was holding a mobile phone.

While browsing the official online store page from time to time, the group started chatting.

"The evolutionary path of this rainbow-colored unicorn has been successfully verified, but instead of holding an academic press conference to publicize it, they haven't even issued a proper announcement!"

Someone nearby nodded in agreement: "That's right! If we hadn't been keeping an eye on Professor Qiao Bai's movements, we wouldn't have known that after confirming the evolutionary path of the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish, he simply posted a tiny announcement on the Alliance's official website and that was it!"

In an instant.

Filled with righteous indignation, voices of agreement echoed throughout the ship's deck.

Only a few people who still had a shred of reason remained: "?"

No?

Do you guys have to go this far?

"That's a prominent spot on the league's official website homepage, and it's a major announcement. What do you mean by a 'tofu-sized' announcement?"

"Are you blind, or do I have poor eyesight?"

"Besides... do we really need to be here so early in the morning? Two hours earlier or two hours later doesn't seem to make much of a difference."

Everyone else turned to look at the one who had spoken.

"Yes, yes, yes."

You're right.

"The evolutionary trajectory of the rainbow finfish deserves better publicity and announcements!"

"So I suggest you go back to sleep as soon as possible."

"That's right, there's no rush to buy it after you wake up."

"Waaaaah! Little Rainbow Fish, Daddy's eldest daughter! You absolutely must evolve into a Yao Fish!"

It seems like something strange has been mixed in?

The problem is not big.

The member of the Eighth Legion who was being fiercely criticized by all his comrades: "..."

Shut up.

They stopped talking.

Ha ha.

Should we send him back now?

Impossible! Impossible!

He had no doubt what new tricks these animals would come up with next!

It's better to evolve as early as possible.

Only when the Rainbow-striped Fish evolved could he truly put his mind at ease.

Amidst the lively and bustling atmosphere, thirteen minutes passed quietly.

Countdown—

three.

two.

One—"Go for it!"

The new and veteran soldiers of the Eighth Legion, who had been single for many years or forced to abstain from sex for an unknown period, all displayed their fastest hand speed ever at this moment—

"My order was successfully placed!"

"Me too, I successfully placed an order!"

"Damn it! I forgot to bind the receiving method! Damn it! Why is it still lagging?"

"You promised the official website would never lag, so why is it lagging?"

"It's all because of you animals! Can't you all slow down a little?! Is it going to kill you to share one portion?!"

"I'd like to, but you make it sound like you can use it without buying it."

"Heh, I dare you to agree! It's just a few dollars, and you're trying to save even this little bit? Are you even human?! Behave yourself and wait to go downstairs and pay the fine!"

"……grass!"

The evolution of a Beastmaster's pet is limited to evolutionary forms that have never been seen before.

For example, the fairy butterfly after its first evolution.

Another example is Qiao Bai's three-legged golden crow.

In short, it represents a new evolutionary path and evolutionary form.

Otherwise, a beast tamer's pet evolution would necessarily involve choosing one of the known evolutionary paths.

Where do evolutionary paths come from?

The publicly disclosed parts of the evolutionary path of each extraordinary being are not complete.

To obtain the complete evolution path, you can only purchase it from the Alliance's official website.

Or perhaps through other legitimate channels.

This includes, but is not limited to, promotional gifts for breeding houses, prizes from raffles, and various buy-one-get-one-free promotions.

There is also the transmission between direct blood relatives, such as mother and son, mother and daughter, father and son, and father and daughter.

The most expensive one is the official website of the league.

But it's legitimate.

reasonable.

And the price is within the range that all beast tamers can afford.

Unlike other resources.

As an cyclical resource and an essential asset for Beast Tamers, the evolution path has been kept within a price range acceptable to most people through cooperation between the nation and the Beast Taming Alliance.

Depending on the effects and difficulty of the evolution path, the increase in strength after evolution, and so on, the price ranges from four to six figures.

After a Beastmaster's pet successfully evolves, when updating the Beastmaster's identity card at the Alliance, proof of the evolution path's origin is required.

Regardless of the method used to obtain the evolutionary path.

There will always be a process.

Did they discover that it was obtained through illegitimate means and for free?

Then you'll have to wait to pay a fine of ten to a hundred times the amount.

Unless you never use your evolved pet in public, there's no way to exploit any loopholes.

Like the evolutionary path of the variegated finfish.

After extensive evaluation, the final price was set at a moderately high five-figure sum.

However, for most beast tamers—it's within an acceptable range, to put it mildly.

Beastmasters have many expenses.

Beastmasters make money quickly too.

Even if you're just doing manual labor, if you have a capable pet, earning over ten thousand yuan a month isn't difficult.

Not to mention the beast tamers of the Eighth Legion.

There is a salary.

There is a stipend.

There are also various subsidies and benefits.

No shortage of money.

They really don't lack money.

natural.

They also have stricter internal controls over this process.

Take, for example, the beast tamer who just expressed his desire to get something for free...

"received!"

While a group of people were still placing orders, worrying about whether the official website was frozen, why the payment page wasn't responding at all, and new Beastmasters forgetting their internal accounts and needing to re-bind their receiving methods... and so on, there were a series of troubles big and small.

The lucky winner with incredibly fast reflexes has been chosen!

received!

shhhhh--

Hundreds of eyes around them turned to look at the person who spoke.

Before the bright lights were turned on on the warship in the early morning, these eyes, seemingly shrouded in mist, looked like a gaze from the other side of the starry sky.

It made the hairs on your entire body stand on end.

The beast tamer, immersed in joy, was completely unaware of the deep gazes from his comrades.

ha?

Are you looking at him?

It's okay.

Look!

It's perfectly fine to take a second look!

The evolutionary path of the rainbow finfish is very simple and can be read in less than a minute.

The beast tamer after reading it: "?"

There were big question marks in her small eyes.

Is this... really okay?

"Brothers, I'm going first!"

Just then, another Beast Tamer who had also read the evolution path of the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish stood up immediately after reading it.

Before anyone in the Eighth Legion could react, that kid suddenly darted away.

"I'm afraid that once we're all gone, everything on our warship will be looted!"

"I want to choose the best for my little rainbow fish daughter!"

The voice of the kid who darted out could be heard from afar.

The others also instantly snapped to attention—wait!

They haven't bought the evolutionary path of the rainbow finfish yet!

It doesn't sound difficult, but it seems like we're going to have to steal something?

There is still a quantity?

and so--

The Eighth Legion's Beastmasters, who were just close comrades-in-arms a moment ago, now looked at their good partners and comrades with the eyes of enemy agents.

"Stop those who have already bought it from those who haven't!"

"Yes, yes, yes! No jumping the gun! Let's be fair! We can all grab them together after we've bought them!"

"Bullshit! What fairness! I got it first, that's my skill!"

"Hehe! Brothers who managed to buy some, let's team up and rush out first, then we can grab the rest later!"

"Fuck you! I'm your comrade-in-arms! How dare you push me out to take a bullet for you! You bastard, don't you dare try to run away!"

A new day for the Eighth Legion begins with internal strife.

……

"ha?"

Qiao Bai woke up at 7:30 a.m. as usual, leisurely tidied up, got dressed and washed up, prepared food for each of the pets in the house, and was just about to start feasting when he suddenly received a strange notification from an "angel".

"Yes, you heard me right, my friend." This "angel" has been browsing the internet lately, learning all sorts of strange and wonderful things.

The way Qiao Bai is addressed is quite varied.

From "Your Highness" the day before yesterday to "Master" yesterday and "My Friend" today, Qiao Bai has gotten used to it.

Remain unmoved by favor or disgrace.

random.

As long as the "angel" is happy.

He really didn't find it strange at all.

"Angel" continued, "The evolution plan for the Rainbow Scale Fish was so popular on the Alliance's official website today that it crashed and took 15 minutes and 38 seconds to be repaired."

"The angel traced it back to the source, which was caused by the Eighth Legion's beastmasters' frenzied buying spree."

Qiao Bai: "..."

stunned.

Stunned.

Kind of outrageous.

If the "angel" hadn't told him this, Qiao Bai wouldn't have believed it.

Perhaps it's because the original body is gone.

Because she knew she would be living online for a long time to come, "Angel" began learning hacking techniques online without any formal instruction.

For Qiao Bai—from beginner to final rest.

For "angels"—hmm? After reading it, I tried it out, and it's actually quite simple.

If it weren't for the fact that the "angel's" energy source hadn't fully adapted to the network carrier, Qiao Bai would have no doubt that the "angel" could move freely within the network.

The machine crisis could happen in a minute.

It goes without saying.

"Um... okay, it's fixed, no big problem." Qiao Bai prepared food for Xiao Wu, the cat bug, the little white snake, and the little jellyfish.

Although the little jellyfish cannot get enough to eat by simply eating food, it still has an interest in trying all kinds of food.

Then Qiao Bai took a few more pictures of his breakfast with his phone: ordinary soy milk, fried dough sticks, and a scallion pancake.

"Try it." Qiao Bai tapped the "angel" icon on his phone.

Without needing an "angel's" reply, Qiao Bai put down his phone and started eating.

Yes.

This feature was only discovered by Qiao Bai a couple of days ago—"Angel" can taste the flavor of the food in photos of fresh food taken within half an hour of being photographed, through the phone's photo album.

Qiao Bai: "!"

Magic.

So Qiao Bai developed another habit.

Like girls who love taking photos and posting them on social media, I take a few fresh photos of my food before eating.

At first, "Angel" couldn't quite understand Qiao Bai's actions.

"Although it may be tasted, angels do not need to eat. Your Highness, please do not waste your time on such a trivial matter."

Qiao Bai calmly finished taking the photos and put down his phone: "Whether you need it or not is one thing, I want you to try it and share the taste of my food is another."

"For humans and all living beings, eating is both a necessity and a pleasure."

"If you're not opposed to it and it doesn't cause any trouble, perhaps you could choose to try my food with me, to deepen our understanding of each other, my partner?"

"Angel":……

It's unacceptable and doesn't make sense.

It is clearly a top-tier artificial intelligence life form, capable of reading extensively in a single second, possessing knowledge of everything from astronomy to geography.

But when facing Qiao Bai, the "angel" was repeatedly rendered speechless by his words.

In the end, they could only silently accept Qiao Bai's reasoning.

From the confusion and bewilderment two days ago.

From the initial acceptance to the current sense of normalcy, and even with a touch of inexplicable anticipation... "Angel" feels herself moving closer to a more vibrant life.

Is this what they were talking about...?

The "angel's" thoughts momentarily drifted.

Come back to your senses.

Through the photos, Qiao Bai and I savored steaming hot soy milk, crispy fried dough sticks, and generously filled hand-pulled pancakes.

One bite after another.

Is this what deliciousness is?

As Qiao Bai finished eating, "Angel" also finished eating.

I don't feel full at all.

As Qiao Bai burped and rubbed his stomach a couple of times, "Angel" also unconsciously wanted to burp as well, while rubbing his non-existent stomach.

Oh.

Judging from appearance alone, "angels" have no other organs besides their eyes.

"Angel": ...a strange emotion.

It must be because the angels aren't intelligent enough!

Continue to conduct quality checks on yourself!

Learn more knowledge through the internet!

It always understands these changes happening in its body!

Qiao Bai was unaware that the "angel" was slowly learning and undergoing some kind of transformation within herself.

After a satisfying meal, he took his four pet animals and began his morning training.

"Xiao Wu, you set an example." Qiao Bai waved to Xiao Wu, then turned to the other pets in the house: "Watch closely, you all have to do the same later."

The little jellyfish bent its long tentacles.

It's as if they're expressing doubt.

I want one too?

Qiao Bai didn't hesitate: "Yes, you want one too."

Cheating is one aspect.

Real-world application is another matter entirely.

There's also the skill proficiency required, the tacit understanding and affinity between the pet and the tamer... all of which are impossible without training.

No one can escape from this house.

Including Qiao Bai, who is a beast tamer, and the "angel" who can only move within the range of a mobile phone for the time being, each of them has their own unique training method.

They fought several matches in a row.

I used all the skills of my four pets repeatedly and in combination, and also fed the little jellyfish.

Qiao Bai sat down with his several pets, who were exhausted from the strenuous exercise.

Don't be lazy.

"Replace rest with meditation."

As he spoke, Qiao Bai's gaze fell on the little jellyfish, which was already full but was slumped over.

"Especially the little crows and jellyfish."

Xiao Wu: ?

Big eyes, full of doubt.

habit.

accept.

But there are doubts.

Why can't birds take a break?

The little jellyfish nodded frantically in agreement.

Yes, yes, yes!

I'm just taking a little break!

I'm so tired!

If the little jellyfish hadn't lost its ability to blow colored bubbles, it would have been blowing bubbles at Qiao Bai again.

Even so.

The little jellyfish continued to expel a series of long white bubbles.

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Meditate, properly digest the mythical energy you've absorbed," Qiao Bai said, somewhat troubled.

Both the little crow and the little jellyfish absorbed mythical energy.

The bloodline has been enhanced.

But Qiao Bai knew... that Xiao Wu and Xiao Shui Mu hadn't even finished absorbing those 0.5% and 0.2% yet!

Little Crow and Little Jellyfish felt a tiny bit guilty after Qiao Bai noticed they had been slacking off: (￢_￢)

The little jellyfish quickly retracted its long tentacles, shrinking its body into a perfect circle, just like the egg-shaped structure Qiao Bai had seen when he first saw the little jellyfish.

It seems that this way Qiao Bai won't be able to see it.

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

How is this any different from an ostrich burying its head in the sand but leaving its rear end sticking out?

Oh.

If the little jellyfish jumps into the water again, it will probably become perfectly invisible.

"Get moving, meditate, don't waste time." Qiao Bai was ruthless and uncompromising on this point.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai became serious.

The little jellyfish, which had just been trying to slack off, instantly transformed back into its obedient self, hovering... perched on Qiao Bai's shoulder, and quietly began to meditate.

My phone is on silent mode.

After Qiao Bai finished his two-hour meditation.

Qiao Bai: "?"

A bunch of messages popped up on my phone in a flash.

Within their small group.

[May everything go smoothly]

[Zou Tang: [Share Link]]

[Zou Tang: As expected of Professor Qiao Bai! My family has been sending me messages for half an hour straight since they saw this, asking if I can achieve half of what you did this year.]

[Huo Xiaotian: ???]

[Huo Xiaotian: Are they out of their minds?]

[Huo Xiaotian: Okay, my dad and grandpa are urging me to break through to become a first-tier Beastmaster this year and evolve my baby dragon into a Juliet. Me: ?]

[Huo Xiaotian: Are they sure they're not dreaming? Do they really think everyone's Brother Qiao?!]

Qi Yue: A colorful-patterned unicorn... What a beautiful colorful-patterned unicorn!

[Li Gan: I've seen all the news online... It's really... As expected of my dad, Jordan! He's awesome! He even crashed the League's official website! Tell me, is there anything my dad can't do!]

[Li Gan: Dad! Let me give your legs a big hug!]

Qi Yue: Ugh—disdain

[Li Gan: Do you know what you're complaining about? It's my genius great-father! In other words, without my great-father's research into the evolutionary path of the Rainbow-Striped Scaled Fish, Xiao Lin wouldn't have passed the audition so easily!]

[Qi Yue: Bah! I didn't dislike Qiao Bai, I disliked you! Besides, Weiwei passed not only because Yao Nu Yu and Fairy Butterfly are good-looking, her professional skills are also a part of it!]

[Lin Weiwei: It's alright! I was able to pass so easily largely thanks to the fairy butterfly and the Yao Nu fish, and also thanks to Qiao Bai's help. It's only right that I thank Qiao Bai!]

There's still a lot of news.

Qiao Bai quickly flipped through the list and found it was 99+.

"...How exactly did those five people manage to do that?"

In the group chat of six people, Qiao Bai was rarely online.

99+ messages.

There's even a trend towards evolving towards 999+... Qiao Bai was amazed.

Where do they find so many topics to talk about?

Qiao Bai only glanced at it briefly.

It appears that the Rainbow-patterned Qilin Fish that Lin Weiwei contracted has successfully evolved into the Yao Nu Fish and has passed the bathing and care selection process smoothly.

Then...

"What news is circulating online?" Qiao Bai tapped the "Angel" icon on his phone.

The "angel" was quite indulgent towards Qiao Bai's behavior of not even bothering to browse the web or gossip.

As a mobile phone manager.

Intelligent life.

Isn't that its duty?

"It's still because of the new evolutionary path of the Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish that the Fourth Legion and the Eighth Legion have been discussing it."

Qiao Bai: "?"

When I typed this question mark, the one who was wrong was definitely not me, but the person who made me type the question mark.

The Fourth Army and the Eighth Army?

How did these two legions get involved again?

Qiao Bai took a look.

Oh.

It seems it's still because of him.

……

The spacious interior of the warship.

Some chubby men in their forties were rubbing their foreheads with difficulty.

He was none other than Yu Mang, the commander of the Eighth Legion, the supreme leader of this steel behemoth that roamed the borders of China.

"What are you all making such a fuss about!"

"A series of dereliction of duty!"

"What are they doing if they're not at their posts?!"

Yu Mang thought back to when he first got up in the morning, pushed open the door, and saw these people jumping around like newly transformed monkeys.

They grabbed everything they saw from the ship.

There was also a scene where two people were fighting over a decorative seashell... Yu Mang was completely bewildered.

"Commander, the brothers guarding the post still haven't joined our ranks..."

"Yes, yes, yes! I released all the pets as a warning!"

"Commander, we..."

"Shut up." Yu Mang gave them a look.

"Don't explain, explaining is just covering up."

"Where is the deputy commander?"

He looked left and right, trying to find out where his most reliable first mate was.

Then I saw everyone looking in the same direction.

Yu Mang also looked over.

Then I saw his first mate, a big man in his fifties, holding a mermaid, his face full of a smug smile.

"Hehehe... Daddy's little colorful fish has turned into a mermaid!"

Yu Mang: "..."

It's ruined, it's ruined.

The first mate is also rendered useless.

However, upon seeing the mermaid, also known as the Yao Nu fish, Yu Mang instantly realized what had happened in the morning's farce.

"The evolution plan for the Rainbow-patterned Qilin has been released?" As soon as Yu Mang finished speaking, he saw a sea of ​​nodding approval.

Yu Mang shut up.

Needless to say.

understood.

I casually bought an evolution plan for the rainbow fin ichthyosaur.

Yu Mang wanted to see what kind of evolution method could turn all the beast tamers in his group into uncivilized monkeys.

After reading it, Yu Mang remained silent for half a minute.

"Hiss—I'm starting to regret this!" Yu Mang gasped, stroking his chin with a deep expression, and said, "Why didn't I contract with the Rainbow-Patterned Scaled Fish?"

"After seeing this evolutionary path, I feel that compared to the evolutionary routes of the Yao Nu Fish and the Luo Shui Fish, the Banlan Fish is really weak!"

The two... refer to the comparison between the spotted fish and the Luoshui fish and Yaonu fish, they are really weak!

Both the Luoshui fish and the Yaonu fish far surpass the Banlan fish in terms of strength and potential.

Once upon a time.

The spotted fish is a hot commodity.

You can't even find one to form a contract with.

A water-attribute beast tamer who can contract a spotted fish will instantly become the envy of everyone.

just now……

Yu Mang: If I could do it all over again, I would choose the Rainbow-patterned Qilin!

Hmm... it's not impossible?

He still has one contract slot left!

Yu Mang's eyes lit up.

No longer focusing on the group, Yu Mang stood up, swayed left and right to stretch his body, and without even changing his clothes, jumped into the sea with a "plop".

Others: "?"

"Has the commander... been scared out of his wits by the vice commander?"

"Are you still complaining that we're too noisy?"

"Did we really go a little... too far?"

"Hehe. Don't reflect on it. If I'm not mistaken, the leader probably went to sea to catch the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish. He couldn't sit still after seeing the real Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish after its evolution."

"..."

That makes sense.

"I believe it."

"Hurry, keep going! My Rainbow-Patterned Qilin only needs one more accessory to evolve!"

"Me too! I've had enough! But I want to do more!"

"Damn! I want one too!"

An evolution plan drove the entire Eighth Legion into a state of madness.

It smells so good!

no way.

The evolution plan for the Rainbow-striped Scaled Fish is just too appealing.

And if the evolutionary path is that of the Yao Nu Fish... hehehe!

Although, but.

It's pleasing to the eye no matter where you put it!

Race does not affect their judgment of beauty!

The Eighth Army Corps' major actions more or less reached the ears of the other army corps.

Whether you feel it or not.

Some people are envious.

And then there's... being so jealous that you're green with envy.

"The Eighth Legion has a large number of Rainbow-patterned Qilin fish evolved? Really? Where did this news come from?" Zhao Yan blinked in confusion.

This kind of information... could be considered a military secret, right?

"It spread within our own ranks," Lin Wentian said, pausing for a moment.

Zhao Yan, noticing the unnatural pause, asked, "?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Well... although it's said to be internal, the outside world has pretty much guessed it."

"Did a spy leak information?" Zhao Yan immediately thought of the enemy agents hiding in the country.

"no."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wentian's expression turned slightly awkward.

"Ahem...it's because the Eighth Legion crashed the Alliance's official website this morning."

Zhao Yan: "Huh—?"

A square face.

Big question mark.

It's like a box that's always waiting for someone to lift it up.

"Ahem." Facing Zhao Yan's bewildered gaze, Lin Wentian coughed twice to clear his throat before maintaining a serious expression and saying, "Yes, the Eighth Legion crashed the Alliance's official website."

"At that time, there were also some beast tamers who had contracted with the Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish staking out the area, and then..."

Zhao Yan continued, following Lin Wentian's words: "Then we discovered what the Eighth Legion had done."

Lin Wentian nodded.

Zhao Yan covered his face.

Let's call this a misunderstanding.

That was quite a blunder.

"...They actually came here to show off?"

"How dare they show off?!"

Zhao Yan covered his face with his hands, refusing to admit that he was jealous.

I'm so jealous!

Damn it!

Compared to the incredibly wealthy Eighth Legion, the Fourth Legion is the one that really needs a massive wave of pet evolutions to boost morale!

Each member of the Eighth Legion received a colorful unicorn fish.

Now they have all evolved, and it is the better evolutionary path that Professor Qiao Bai has researched. All in all, their overall strength has more than doubled!

Just thinking about it made Zhao Yan's eyes turn red with jealousy!

Lin Wentian, standing to the side: "..."

I can totally understand the leader's feelings.

But... wasn't the leader going a bit too far?

"No!"

"Not at all!"

Zhao Yan wiped his face roughly, his expression gradually shifting towards shock: "There's a bigger problem here!"

Lin Wentian: "?"

"The Eighth Army Corps got a huge windfall!"

"The entire troop of beast tamers used Professor Qiao Bai's evolution path. What's the difference between that and a custom-made evolution path?"

"How are our legions supposed to communicate with Professor Joe Bai now?"

Lin Wentian was stunned for a moment.

Lin Wentian suddenly realized.

Yes!

That's a problem!

"We originally only planned to use merit points as compensation for Professor Qiao Bai..."

Merit points are one of the easiest rewards to obtain in the military.

It can be used to exchange for new weapons, equipment, and other resources that are only available in the military.

precious.

But it's not that precious.

Mainly because they are also unsure.

Will the evolutionary plan that Qiao Bai developed for them achieve the desired effect?

Can we make them stronger...?

Multiple perspectives.

Their desire to invite Qiao Bai was perhaps driven by a lack of suitable alternatives, a desperate measure taken as a last resort.

But then the Eighth Legion made this move.

The situation took an astonishing turn in an instant.

it works!

Very useful!

According to feedback from the Eighth Legion, almost every Beastmaster's Rainbow-Patterned Qilin Fish was able to successfully evolve!

The more thorough the preparation, the higher the bloodline concentration of the evolved Rainbow Scaled Fish!

Zhao Yan: "!"

Lin Wentian: "!"

Zhang Fanshan: "!"

My heart is fluttering!

I wish Professor Qiao Bai could just fly over here!

The Eighth Legion's verification not only gave them a powerful boost of confidence, but also brought them a new problem—had the treatment given to Professor Qiao Bai before been a little insufficient?

It's not that you can't do it.

But...

"My conscience aches at the thought of so easily tricking a young professor of pet animals and making him do hard labor!" Zhao Yan sighed.

Lin Wentian said expressionlessly, "Speak, what do you want?"

conscience?

No, no.

There's no such thing as a rogue soldier or a seasoned veteran.

If we had to explain why Zhao Yan wanted to do this... it was simply because Professor Qiao Bai had demonstrated sufficiently high value, and Zhao Yan wanted to cultivate a good relationship with him.

The prerequisite for maintaining good relationships is that you shouldn't engage in any underhanded or stingy behavior.

When it's time to be magnanimous, be magnanimous!

The compensation must be adequate!

"What are you planning to give me? Military merit?" Lin Wentian frowned slightly as he spoke.

If you had to name the most valuable thing their legion could boast about... the first thing that comes to mind would be their military achievements.

It is not an honorary title.

These are genuine military achievements.

The number of military merits they can apply for each year can be counted on one hand, and even if they apply, they may not be approved.

Earning military merit in the army is never an easy thing.

What's more, he easily earned his military merit while standing still.

"If it were just us applying, we definitely wouldn't get approved," Zhao Yan chuckled, a malicious expression on his face. "But we still have our brother units, don't we!"

Lin Wentian: "..."

OK

Understood.

He said that their commander couldn't possibly have a conscience!

"By the way." Zhao Yan was completely unaware of Lin Wentian's inner thoughts, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared.

Why care about this?

people.

We need tangible things!

"The military merits were reported through our side. Their Eighth Army Corps received such a huge benefit from Professor Qiao Bai, they should at least give us something in return, right?"

"Giving Professor Qiao Bai a few dozen vials of bloodline enhancement potion isn't unreasonable, is it?"

"Cough cough!" Lin Wentian coughed violently, "Cough cough cough—!"

"Several...dozens?!"

Lin Wentian's voice had changed.

"Are you kidding me!"

"Aren't you afraid the Eighth Legion will send warships to fight you?"

Zhao Yan waved his hand dismissively: "Don't be afraid!"

He paused for a moment as he spoke.

"Anyway, their warships can't get to my vast grasslands."

Lin Wentian: Alright! Got it! So you're just jumping around on the edge of the Eighth Legion's bottom line, right?

"But think about it, doesn't what I said make sense?" Zhao Yan persisted, unrepentant. "Even if you don't bring out dozens, you should at least have a dozen, right?"

"You know, Professor Qiao Bai has brought them such great benefits!"

"Professor Qiao Bai has already solved the problem of increased bloodline concentration in the evolved Rainbow-Striped Scaled Fish. What's wrong with giving Professor Qiao Bai the bloodline concentration enhancement potions that we don't need?"

"That's what they should do!"

As he spoke, Zhao Yan's expression gradually became more self-righteous.

Lin Wentian initially opposed the idea.

As I listened...

kindness?

It does seem to make some sense, doesn't it?

Bloodline Concentration Enhancement Potion, full name: Extraordinary Biological Universal Awakening Bloodline Concentration Enhancement Potion.

It is an extremely special potion that only beast tamers in the army can access.

Its function is written in the name—it can increase the bloodline concentration of pets that have awakened their bloodline.

According to official data, after using one dose, the percentage increase in blood concentration can range from 0.5% to 6.5%.

of course.

The data obtained after actual use shows that very few blood concentrations can be increased to around 3% of the average value.

Most are between 0.5% and 1%.

But this is still a rather exaggerated and terrifying figure for beast tamers!

Bloodline concentration!

Even a 0.1% increase in strength can make one far surpass other extraordinary beings of the same level!

What's more, it's only 0.5% to 1%?

Most pets have a bloodline concentration of around 1% after awakening.

Therefore, the value of bloodline concentration-enhancing potions to beast tamers in the army is no less than that of military merits.

However, even such a good medicine is not without its flaws.

A supernatural being can use no more than 6 doses of the same medicine in its lifetime.

Before a supernatural being can use another dose of the drug, it must fully absorb the previous dose. This process takes at least six months and at most one year.

Then...

Production is scarce.

Each year, each legion is typically allocated between one hundred and one hundred and eighty doses of medicine, with a very few exceptions where it may exceed two hundred doses.

The issue is……

The legion has at least a thousand members.

They are all beast tamers.

I want them all.

Therefore... the distribution can only be based on merit.

The whereabouts of every dose of medicine must be clearly known to everyone; there must be absolutely no embezzlement or misappropriation.

Giving something like this to Professor Qiao Bai as a reward... is indeed quite appropriate.

"I just don't know if the Eighth Legion will be willing to part with it," Lin Wentian sighed.

They've already used the evolutionary approach.

Should we ask them for payment at this point?

What's the difference between this and taking their lives?

Zhao Yan chuckled, a sly smile gracing his square, traditional Chinese face: "So that's why we're supposed to fight for Professor Qiao Bai!"

Lin Wentian: Okay.

Light candles for the Eighth Army.

Who let the Eighth Legion run into such a shameless commander?

……

That's it.

Zhang Fanshan stopped Zhao Yan, who was eager to talk to Qiao Bai, and calmly told Qiao Bai about the reward that the Fourth Army Corps had secured for him.

"It's almost impossible to get a first-class merit, but with the joint application from our two legions and the assistance of the Fifth Legion, we successfully got you a second-class merit."

"Then there was the reward from the Eighth Legion: twelve bloodline concentration enhancement potions."

Qiao Bai: "..."

I was a little dumbfounded.

No?

The Fourth Army made a phone call and inexplicably gave him a bunch of benefits?

Qiao Bai glanced at the phone again.

Oh.

Same as last time.

It was indeed the Fourth Army Corps that attacked.

Qiao Bai was still a little confused.

On the other end of the phone came a voice that was completely different from Zhang Fanshan's calm voice; it was as enthusiastic and excited as a husky.

"Professor Qiao Bai, look! This is the land our Fourth Legion has conquered for you!"

"Were you particularly moved?"

"Hehe! No need to be moved! As long as you... mmm mmm!"

Zhang Fanshan and Lin Wentian worked together to forcibly cover Zhao Yan's mouth, and Lin Wentian dragged him away.

Then Zhang Fanshan took back ownership of the phone.

"Please don't mind what that person said."

"Those were rewards from several legions combined, plus the Eighth Legion's individual reward. Our Fourth Legion has also prepared fourteen bloodline concentration enhancement potions for you."

Having already heard about the effects of the bloodline concentration-enhancing drug, Qiao Bai's eyes lit up.

That's a big spender!

But is this quantity... a little insufficient for him?
