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

Chapter 172 Qiao Bai's Gains! Just a professor who takes pets as a hobby!

Qiao Bai, completely unaware that he had almost been hit on the head by a giant pot, was left speechless.

What happened outside?

Oh.

He knew all of that.

The "angel" told Qiao Bai the general situation, but concealed the slightest role it played in it.

"You did something too, didn't you?"

"Although," Qiao Bai said in a firm tone.

The angel's big eyes blinked repeatedly, and doubt was almost emanating from them.

How did Qiao Bai know that?

It didn't say anything at all.

They even deliberately skipped this part of the report.

"Human wisdom." Qiao Bai smiled without saying a word.

Explanation?

How do you explain "angel"?

Could Qiao Bai tell the "angel" that he was just guessing randomly?

Of course not.

To maintain his image in the "angel's" eyes, Qiao Bai's expression remained quite composed. Given the "angel's" current understanding of the complexity of humanity, she couldn't tell that Qiao Bai was just spouting nonsense and was actually a little guilty.

How were you able to guess?

Qiao Bai believed that his relationship with "Angel" was quite good. If any unfriendly comments about him appeared online, "Angel" would definitely not sit idly by.

This has proven to be true.

Not only did the "angel" take care of it, but she didn't even tell Qiao Bai about it.

After Qiao Bai turned the question around, "Angel" realized that her actions seemed a bit strange.

"Angel":?

So, even an intelligent machine can do such emotional things?

"Angel" thinks it needs to perform a virus scan.

Oh.

"Angel" is not artificial intelligence; it's just temporarily without a body and cannot perform self-diagnosis or virus removal.

The "angel" chose to remain silent and stopped talking to Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai laughed out loud.

"Hahaha."

That's great.

Qiao Bai stopped laughing after a couple of laughs. He knew when to stop; if he laughed too much, the "angel" would really get angry with him, and that would be a loss.

After calming down.

Qiao Bai finally felt the double exhaustion, both physically and mentally, that came after the beast tide ended—the scene when the beast tide came far exceeded his imagination.

From afar, countless ferocious jackals, tigers, leopards, lions, and other extraordinary creatures came running in.

There are also those extraordinary creatures whose true forms are completely unrecognizable, and whose appearances are excessively grotesque.

They gathered together in large numbers, numbering nearly ten thousand.

According to Lin Wentian, a beast tide of this scale can only be considered a small to medium-sized beast tide.

Fighting against the beast tide.

Eliminate the beast tide.

No one dared to be careless.

Including Qiao Bai.

There is no such thing as hiding strength; the main focus is on unleashing oneself and releasing all the inner power of the pet!

Both Little Crow and Cat Bug displayed their bloodthirsty nature in the battle against the beast tide.

What?

Extraordinary beings below the sixth rank?

If you dare to come, be prepared to be wiped out!

Kill one if one comes, kill ten if ten come!

Not one of them could escape alive from Little Crow and Cat Bug!

The little white snake was responsible for secretly finishing off enemies from behind.

What?

Not all of them died?

It's okay!

The snake will fill it in!

of course.

Which of Qiao Bai's pet beasts benefited the most from this beast tide?

That was definitely not the little crow that broke through from the fifth-tier advanced level to the sixth-tier low level, nor the cat-like insect that was just one step away from the sixth tier, nor the little white snake that successfully mastered the essence water during the battle.

Instead... taking advantage of this opportunity, it ate its fill of energy, increased its bloodline concentration, and ate its way to unlock its innate skills.

[Pet: Box Poison Jellyfish]

【Attribute: Water + Special】

[Type: Advanced Transcendent Mid-Tier]

[Level: Intermediate Fifth Tier]

[Skills: Water Cannon, Water Jet, Bubble Attack]

[Evolutionary Path: ——]

[Bloodline: Kun]

Awakening Level: 7%

[Talent Skill: Gluttony]

[Gluttony 1: The more food energy you consume, the faster you grow and the faster your strength increases (upgradeable)]

【Gluttony 2: Gluttony can devour the skills of opponents whose strength is no more than twice its own, converting them into its own energy intake (see Gluttony 1) and inflicting a ten-minute sealing effect on the devoured skills (inherent attribute)】

[Binge eating 3: When the energy intake reaches the upper limit of the body's ability to absorb and convert intake into energy, the excess energy can be stored, and you can explore its uses yourself.]

[Burp—So full! So full! Burp—If I had ten more stomachs, I could still eat!]

Qiao Bai: "..."

Putting aside how to achieve the feat of growing ten more stomachs, Qiao Bai just wants to say—do you even have a stomach?

They probably don't even have a stomach!

The little jellyfish, relying on its exaggerated skill "Gluttony," directly ate itself from being the weakest in its home to becoming second only to the cat-worm in strength, and with a little more effort, it might even surpass the cat-worm.

Suddenly, it transformed back into the weakest little white snake in the house: "aogu?"

What happened?

Why is Snake the weakest member of this family again?

The little white snake had its tail raised high, and its expression looked utterly bewildered, as if it had no idea how things had happened.

Anyway, by the time I came to my senses, things had already turned out this way.

The little white snake stared intently at the little jellyfish floating in mid-air with its beautiful golden eyes. Just as it was about to get angry, it was attracted by the little jellyfish's appearance.

Qiao Bai also noticed the changes in the little jellyfish's body.

The most obvious difference is that the baby jellyfish is much larger.

It went from being only half the size of Qiao Bai's palm to being the size of Qiao Bai's entire palm... cough cough, the size of a normal apple.

Although it is still not very big, compared to its previous thin appearance, it has to be said that the grown-up jellyfish is more likely to show the shadow of the box jellyfish.

Qiao Bai had no doubt.

If the baby jellyfish grows a little bigger, its true species will be revealed.

Qiao Bai pondered for two seconds, considering whether he should do something to help the little jellyfish hide... Three seconds later, Qiao Bai chose to give up.

"Hey, we'll see when the time comes," Qiao Bai said with a very nonchalant expression.

It wasn't that Qiao Bai didn't want to hide it.

"I'm just afraid that if I reveal the true species of the jellyfish, those people won't believe me."

said with no exaggeration.

Someone pops up claiming to have contracted a box of poisonous jellyfish, who would believe that?

Nobody would believe that!

Given Qiao Bai's status as a professor of pet animals, those people would probably rather believe that the little jellyfish is a supernatural creature similar to the box poison flower jellyfish, created and cultivated by Qiao Bai through illegal experiments, than actually believe that the little jellyfish is the box poison flower jellyfish.

The little jellyfish bent its long tentacles: "?"

What is the beast tamer thinking?

That expression looks really strange!

Coming to his senses, Qiao Bai looked at the little jellyfish again.

Yes.

The changes in the jellyfish's appearance are not only that it has become larger, but the number of its long tentacles has also increased from eight to twelve, and each tentacle is iridescent in color, like a translucent jelly with added pigment.

It looks very tempting and delicious.

But if it's placed on a supernatural being... it's usually poisonous.

However, Qiao Bai did not see the poison attribute among the little jellyfish's properties.

Similarly, no new skills were seen in the Little Jellyfish's skill list.

Those three skills were the ones Qiao Bai painstakingly leveled up for Little Jellyfish.

Qiao Bai: It's difficult, it's really too difficult for him.

"But—" Qiao Bai's gaze fell on the little jellyfish's unlimited potential bloodline concentration of 7% and its talent skill [Gluttony].

The former, in theory, proves the potential of small jellyfish.

The latter vividly demonstrates the capabilities of the small jellyfish.

There's also the third skill developed from [Gluttony].

Qiao Bai stroked his chin: "It can store indigestible energy... Is this some kind of supernatural version of a hamster's gill pouch for food storage?"

It's no wonder Qiao Bai used this analogy.

They look so alike.

Qiao Bai immediately thought of this.

However, considering the little jellyfish's exaggerated, non-existent stomach that seemed to connect to the endless void, and its insane need for energy, Qiao Bai didn't find it so strange after all.

Extraordinary creatures that have extremely high energy requirements always have to devise ways to save themselves during the course of evolution.

The baby jellyfish hadn't eaten enough, and its growth hadn't kept up.

Now, following Qiao Bai's lead, I'm gradually able to eat irregularly, sometimes going hungry and sometimes full, and then I eat until I'm stuffed. Naturally, my body is growing faster too.

The changes in its shape and the color of its whiskers are proof of this.

The evolution and addition of the [Gluttony] talent also serve as proof.

"Storing up excess energy, wouldn't that be another form of food storage?" Qiao Bai murmured. "Whenever they get hungry, we can just let the little jellyfish eat their stored food..."

The little jellyfish, who understood what Qiao Bai was saying, exclaimed: "!"

Despite having no eyes, the small jellyfish still expressed its shock to Qiao Bai through its taut body and tentacles.

It's as if it's saying: You're actually a beast tamer like this?

Are you even eyeing my stored grain?

Do you have any conscience at all?!

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai really wanted to say that he hadn't yet mentioned any other ideas for using this stored energy—eating it was just the simplest, and also the most wasteful, way to use it.

After all, it's not an easy thing to feed baby jellyfish until they're full.

If you can't do that, you can't store excess energy.

Simply eating it... is a waste.

The best way to use it is to try to "add" the energy converted from the skill to the jellyfish when it uses its skill, thereby enhancing the skill's power.

This way, even the most ordinary and common skill can achieve a star-breaking effect.

However, there isn't a good opportunity to try it right now, so Qiao Bai isn't in a hurry.

In addition... the little jellyfish seemed to be very protective of its food, and Qiao Bai did not intend to touch its sensitive nerves at this time.

Let's figure out how to feed the baby jellyfish first...

Hey.

Qiao Bai sighed again.

The thought that the little jellyfish had consumed at least a third of the extraordinary creatures' skills during the beast tide to be able to eat its fill made Qiao Bai very unconfident about raising and feeding it.

No?

Is this really something a normal person could do?

Think about it.

Let him think about it some more.

Even if you can't do it, you still have to do it!

We've already raised them, and we've already signed a contract, so how can we just give up?

"Be good, be a good girl." Qiao Bai gave the little jellyfish a kind smile. "You should be able to tell the difference between being full at one meal and being full at every meal, right?"

Little jellyfish: "..."

hum hum

Deep tears streamed down the face of eyes that did not exist.

Little jellyfish: Threat! This is intimidation... Okay, listen to me.

well-behaved and sensible.jpg

Qiao Bai smiled and touched the soft, bouncy cap of the little jellyfish.

Yep.

It feels very good.

Qiao Bai held the little jellyfish, scrolled through his phone, briefly looked at the online discussions, and then tossed his phone aside.

The problem is not big.

It's just some excessive glorification of him.

Once netizens calmed down and regained their rationality, they realized that the Fourth Legion's miracle was not solely due to him.

He's really not that great yet, capable of turning the tide of battle.

Qiao Bai tossed his phone aside.

……

Bluebird University.

Zhou Xinran, upon seeing the news related to Qiao Bai, was speechless.

"...As expected of this kid." Seeing the ridiculous discussion and trending topic, Zhou Xinran would definitely have questioned anyone else.

But when that person was changed to Qiao Bai... Zhou Xinran suddenly felt there was nothing to question.

What are you questioning?

He wasn't aware of how outrageous Qiao Bai was all along.

From the moment Zhou Xinran first saw the fairy butterfly being born under Qiao Bai's hands in the surveillance footage, she had a vague premonition.

Qiao Bai is just that outrageous.

as predicted.

Qiao Bai later used a series of actions and proofs to show her that he had held back during their first meeting.

Now these?

It's all just basic stuff!

Just as Zhou Xinran was about to put her phone away, she received a message from the principal.

[Principal Lin: Xinran, do you think it's possible to get Professor Qiao Bai to offer an elective course?]

Zhou Xinran silently typed out a question mark.

kindness?

It doesn't sound like a big deal.

You can talk to Qiao Bai directly; he will definitely agree.

Whether it was because Qiao Bai was an honorary professor at Qingniao University or because Principal Lin had been friendly to him, Qiao Bai had no reason to refuse.

Then, Zhou Xinran saw another message from Principal Lin.

[Principal Lin: Combat Section.]

Zhou Xinran: "..."

It's a bit outrageous, but considering Qiao Bai's top ranking on the combat power list, and the abilities he supposedly displayed during the Fourth Legion's beast tide...

[Zhou Xinran: Principal, Qiao Bai's main strength and talent should lie in the research of pet evolution, including the assistance he provided to the Fourth Legion this time.]

[Zhou Xinran: Of course, if you insist on him teaching combat classes... he probably won't refuse, right?]

Zhou Xinran's fingers tapped on the keyboard.

As they fought, Zhou Xinran remembered Qiao Bai's dream—to be an excellent and the strongest beast tamer.

Professor of Pets?

Whoops!

It's just something I do out of interest!
