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

Chapter 192 The Common Flaw of Geniuses! The brilliance of a genius cannot be concealed!

After a pleasant conversation, both of them showed satisfied expressions.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you," Qiao Bai said with a smile.

Yu Kexiao... I'm dying of laughter, I can't laugh at all.

Take a deep breath.

Yu Ke reflected on how she had progressed from initially wanting to cooperate, ideally trying to negotiate the best possible price, or at least offering a reasonable one, to where she was now.

Take a look at the agreement between the two people.

It's entirely her doing the discount.

A considerable quantity of resources of various attributes has been provided.

The only thing that Yuko could be thankful for was that the Red Earth City Beast Taming Alliance had enough resources.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to meet Qiao Bai's needs.

Fortunately, she eventually obtained a certain quantity and size of red minerals from Qiao Bai, one large and two small.

That should be enough for research, right?

Yuko thought uncertainly.

She then took another deep breath.

No, no.

We must research it and figure it out. As long as there is even a sliver of a possibility, we can turn this red mineral into a new flagship product from the forbidden red soil region.

Qiao Bai wasn't entirely clear about You Ke's thoughts, but he was at least somewhat aware of them.

He silently lit a candle in his heart for the newly appointed president of the Red Earth City Beast Taming Alliance.

It wasn't that he deliberately tried to trick her or anything.

However… “I must say in advance that this red mineral can likely only be found near that special space mountain range.”

Qiao Bai did not hide his past experiences from others, so You Ke naturally understood what he was talking about.

"It's alright." Youke waved his hand and carefully put away the three pieces of red mineral.

"It is enough that we have confirmed that it has significant value and that it was indeed found in the forbidden red soil region."

Hearing Qiao Bai's sincere words, You Ke finally showed a faint smile.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Row.

Understand.

Actually, he really didn't want to understand the thoughts of these unscrupulous businessmen.

……

"You seem quite busy here." Ning Ruxue said with a smile as she walked in, looking at Youke, who was beaming with pride after getting what she wanted, and leaving Qiao Bai's ward.

Qiao Bai waved his hand: "It's just normal cooperation, nothing special."

Ning Ruxue: "..."

The fact that Qiao Bai, a professor specializing in pet animals, could cooperate with the newly appointed chairman of the Red Earth Alliance was already considered outrageous by most people.

However, Ning Ruxue didn't come to talk about this.

"You're almost fully recovered and can leave anytime." She came to inform Qiao Bai.

Previously, Red Earth City was under lockdown, making it difficult to get in and out.

It's finally back to normal now.

Ning Ruxue was worried that Qiao Bai would be in a hurry to go back, so she came to tell him.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Bai's expression was very calm, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Ning Ruxue: "?"

"no?"

"Have you forgotten something?"

Qiao Bai also looked at Ning Ruxue with a questioning gaze.

"Is there?"

Qiao Bai blinked.

"I don't think I've had anything going on lately, have I?" As he spoke, Qiao Bai gave a look of sudden realization.

Before Ning Ruxue could feel a little gratified, she heard Qiao Bai continue speaking.

"I remember now, the official competition for the Extraordinary Creature Nurturing Competition is about to start, right?" Qiao Bai nodded and said, "A friend of mine is going to participate, and I told him I'd go watch."

Unexpectedly, the matter of the Fourth Army Corps, along with the matter of Red Earth City, took him almost a month to resolve.

I guess I won't make it to the preliminary round.

It's unclear whether Lin Weiwei made it into the official competition.

Ning Ruxue fell silent again.

An awkward atmosphere filled the air.

of course.

Qiao Bai himself did not feel this special atmosphere at all.

What?

embarrassment?

He wasn't embarrassed at all.

He even felt that he was in a very good state, extremely good, as good as it couldn't be better.

You can summon a light-year dragon rider at any time, then pack your bags and go home.

"...You really don't care about your own affairs at all." Ning Ruxue sighed helplessly, "Have you forgotten that your award ceremony is less than a month away?"

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

Then he really did have a look of sudden realization.

"I remember now."

Newcomer Award!

Qiao Bai nodded, but the change in his expression was not even as exciting as when he thought about his friend participating in the competition.

Ning Ruxue felt a sense of helplessness looking at Qiao Bai like this.

What should I say?

What should she say to Qiao Bai in this situation?

"Prepare well, at least think about your acceptance speech in advance," Ning Ruxue suggested sincerely.

Qiao Bai's eyes once again revealed great confusion and bewilderment.

"Acceptance speech...?"

"What's that? And why is there an acceptance speech?"

"Isn't it the end of the matter once the prize and certificate are given out?"

Hearing Qiao Bai's words, Ning Ruxue truly felt a deep sense of suffocation this time.

"Although... Professor Qiao Bai, may I ask if you are completely unaware of the Dai's Newcomer Pet Professor Award?"

Qiao Bai gave Ning Ruxue a look that said, "This is not to be taken for granted."

Ning Ruxue pursed her lips.

I closed my eyes and then opened them again.

Don't be angry, don't be angry.

What's there to be angry about?

Isn't this a normal thing?

She knew what kind of person Qiao Bai was not a new person, at most she just thought that Qiao Bai's thought process was sometimes too bizarre.

But most geniuses have all sorts of "bad habits".

Someone like Qiao Bai... could be considered normal.

At least Qiao Bai is perfectly normal most of the time.

After repeatedly telling herself this, Ning Ruxue's expression returned to indifference.

Yep.

Not surprised at all.

But she still explained the process to Qiao Bai in detail.

"Very few beast tamers can receive this award."

"Although this award is here, it doesn't actually select a corresponding pet professor every year. If there isn't a suitable candidate who can satisfy many judges, it can simply be passed over."

"Just like before you, there had been several consecutive years where they were not selected."

"The award ceremony for the Dai's New Pet Professor Award is also a very grand event, with no fewer than a hundred news media reporters attending and covering the event, and all the necessary procedures are not omitted."

After thinking it over, Ning Ruxue still didn't tell Qiao Bai.

At the award ceremony, Qiao Bai will be promoted to a level two researcher.

Qiao Bai's concern is one thing.

Leaving Qiao Bai with that little surprise is another matter entirely.

Unaware of Ning Ruxue's thoughts, Qiao Bai stroked his chin upon hearing this: "Tsk, that sounds a bit troublesome!"

Ning Ruxue no longer wanted to communicate with Qiao Bai.

pity.

The thought of Qiao Bai being completely clueless and unprepared, and then showing up at the awards ceremony with this attitude...

asphyxia.

Ning Ruxue felt suffocated beforehand.

"Oh, right." While Ning Ruxue was still pondering whether to change the subject, Qiao Bai had already taken control of the conversation.

"What exactly is the mountain in the forbidden land of red soil?"

I didn't ask Qiao Bai before.

Qiao Bai had only just remembered this.

Through the "angel," Qiao Bai gained a clear understanding of the true significance of that mountain.

The problem is that Qiao Bai probably doesn't know this, and any normal person would be curious about such a real secret realm if they encountered it, right?

I forgot to ask before.

We also couldn't find a suitable person to ask.

With Ning Ruxue here, Qiao Bai wouldn't need to bother two other people.

"That..." Ning Ruxue had already guessed that Qiao Bai would ask, but she didn't expect him to ask at this time.

After thinking for a while, Ning Ruxue revealed the information she had prepared beforehand: "Actually, we don't know anything about that mountain range either; we've never seen it before."

"But there are indeed precedents for forbidden lands containing other spaces or secret realms."

"You can think of this forbidden land as a place where there were once extremely powerful supernatural beings. Because of their excessive strength, the energy they released before their death could even shatter space and time, forming a new space."

"The situation within the formed space is also very special."

Ning Ruxue paused for a moment at this point.

Since it's been brought up, it's all information that Qiao Bai can know: "Before the Red Soil Forbidden Land appeared, there were only two such forbidden lands with embedded secret realms in the country. We have already discovered the pattern of one of them. It opens once every ten years and contains a large number of special resources. There are only two years left before it opens again."

"The other one is quite dangerous. So far, no specific pattern has been discovered. The forbidden area where that secret realm is located has also been marked as high-risk."

Upon hearing Ning Ruxue's words, Qiao Bai immediately thought of the deal he had made with You Ke before.

Good guy.

loss.

No wonder he asked for such an exorbitant price; Youke gritted her teeth and finally agreed.

How could such a huge temptation appear on one's own small plot of land?

Who wouldn't be tempted?

Although only one of the two "secret realms" in China has had its complete patterns explored, the other remains relatively dangerous.

But as long as there are benefits to be had, people will continue to be tempted and come for them.

If only I knew that the "Secret Realm" contained resources even more precious than red ore...

Qiao Bai: Sigh!

regret!

I want to call President Yuka back to renegotiate the price!

Ning Ruxue looked at Qiao Bai's regretful and slightly sad expression, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

kindness……

So, is there really such a big difference between her and today's young people when it comes to personal shopping services?

Otherwise, why couldn't she understand what Qiao Bai was thinking at all?

……

I did not stay in Red Earth for long.

After confirming that the matter was over, Qiao Bai immediately booked the fastest Lightyear Dragon Rider and sped back to...NY City.

Yes.

Qiao Bai did not return to Qingniao University; he returned to New York City.

"After wandering around outside, I realized that home is still the best," Qiao Bai said sincerely.

In this world, Joe had no family, and he had never considered New York City as his hometown.

Whether it's New York City or Jinyang City, it seems to have about the same meaning for Qiao Bai.

But after finishing so many things, when it came to "going home," the first place Qiao Bai thought of was still New York City.

He has his own house here.

A research institute of its own.

A team of its own.

And the earliest memories.

After briefly expressing his feelings about life, Qiao Bai decisively returned to New York City.

The happiest people about Qiao Bai's return are the researchers in Qiao Bai's laboratory.

"Professor Qiao Bai, you're finally back!"

"How's it going? Any new tasks for us?"

Several people rushed out and surrounded Qiao Bai.

They all looked at Qiao Bai with bright eyes, their words filled with longing and anticipation for the job.

Qiao Bai: "?"

No?

Are you sure these people are okay?

The researchers surrounding Qiao Bai: No problem! Absolutely no problem!

The days when Professor Qiao Bai was away were incredibly boring – no work, no research, no new evolutionary paths for them to prove!

I don't even feel at ease receiving this salary!

In particular, there are still countless legends about Qiao Bai on the internet.

Look at Qiao Bai, who is already a Level 3 Researcher but is still working hard to improve himself and complete various difficult tasks.

Then look at them, taking the salary Qiao Bai gives them and spending their days idly in the lab...

Suddenly I felt a tiny bit guilty.

Having figured out their logic, Qiao Bai was speechless.

It's not entirely unreasonable, though.

"Don't worry, you'll have your busy days." Qiao Bai waved his hand. "I'll be staying in NY City for a few more days, so you'll have work to do."

Instead of showing any signs of being exploited, the people nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

OK OK.

Go and go.

Professor Qiao Bai gave them orders at will, and they did exactly as he pointed, ensuring that the tasks he gave them were completed without any delay!

Then, when Qiao Bai turned around, he saw Cheng Liang and an unfamiliar woman in his research institute.

Qiao Bai blinked and exchanged a glance with Cheng Liang.

Cheng Liang looked at Qiao Bai with great enthusiasm, but he did not take the initiative to go up and greet Qiao Bai.

It's one thing for two people to know each other in private, but it's quite another for them to have a subordinate relationship at work.

Even if I really wanted to chat with Qiao Bai, now wouldn't be the time.

After chatting briefly with the researchers, Qiao Bai headed towards his lounge.

An Qing watched Qiao Bai's departing figure, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Professor Qiao Bai is really amazing," An Qing said sincerely.

Cheng Liang nodded frantically, "That's right! So joining Professor Qiao Bai's lab is the best choice!"

An Qing remained silent for two seconds.

That can't be that bad, can it?

The professor was so brilliant that he left no room for others to shine.

However… An Qing thought about the rumors and speculations on the internet that were related to Qiao Bai, and wondered if they were exaggerated facts and news. Suddenly, she could understand.

Why would foreigners be targeting Professor Qiao Bai?

The brilliance of a genius can never be hidden.
