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

Chapter 211 City Features: Beast Taming for All! Beast Taming and Beast Control!

Simple?

Huang Zhou really wanted to ask Qiao Bai how he came up with the word "simple".

It's clearly not simple at all!

But Qiao Bai thought, Qiao Bai wanted to think again, when had he ever disappointed him in all this time?

Grit your teeth.

"Alright! Leave this to me!" Huang Zhou looked at Qiao Bai in front of him, gritted his teeth, and decided to take the gamble!

Winning would be best.

If we really lose, it's not a big deal.

Hasn't Joe brought him enough benefits by giving up NY City?

That's enough.

Seeing that Qiao Bai was determined to study this, Huang Zhou naturally didn't say anything more and simply agreed.

……

Extraordinary creatures that mutate in the opposite direction... The number of mutated extraordinary creatures is already small, perhaps only one in a thousand or one in ten thousand.

but.

The population of China is there, and so is the number of beast tamers; the supply and demand for extraordinary creatures will only continue to grow.

Each city's breeding base can still produce one or two mutated superhuman creatures every year.

Scarcity is a relative thing.

"What project are you researching this time? It's quite a big undertaking." Zhou Xinran leisurely arrived at Qiao Bai's research institute, which was also the first time she had seen this research institute that belonged to Qiao Bai.

Very grand.

All the necessary equipment and facilities are readily available.

Zhou Xinran felt a little embarrassed to take Qiao Bai away.

In other words, Chairman Huang of Huangzhou has done a very good job in retaining talent.

"Professor Zhou?" Qiao Bai looked at Zhou Xinran, who had arrived suddenly without any prior notice, with slight surprise.

Seeing Qiao Bai come out, Zhou Xinran smiled slightly: "Last time you went back to Jinyang City, you left in a hurry. I was curious about what you've been researching lately. I happened to have a mission and had to go out for a while, so I came to check on you."

Then Zhou Xinran's gaze fell on the spotted thunder tiger in the courtyard.

"Is this the new evolved form of the Thunder Fang Tiger?"

"It looks pretty imposing."

Zhou Xinran spoke very sincerely.

indeed.

The variegated Thunder Tiger looks exceptionally domineering.

Otherwise, after learning that Qiao Bai had developed a new evolutionary form of the Thunder Fang Tiger, Lei Mao wouldn't have rushed to find Qiao Bai, wanting to take the lead and seize the initiative.

What Lei Mao didn't expect was...

This move was a preemptive strike.

Gaining an advantage is not so easy.

The answer is... sigh! Red Earth City, which provides the resources, isn't doing a good job!

Without the red crystal used for evolution, relying solely on luck, who knows how many Thunder Fang Tigers in their Thunder Fang Tiger Legion would ultimately succeed in evolving?

How is this any different from gambling?

Zhou Xinran wandered around curiously, and Qiao Bai was also a little curious about Zhou Xinran's itinerary.

Others don't know.

Qiao Bai, who had served as Zhou Xinran's teaching assistant and student for a period of time, had a basic understanding of this youngest pet professor in Jinyang City before him.

Lazy... Zhou Xinran is definitely not a lazy person, otherwise she wouldn't have achieved such accomplishments and honors at this age.

However, when she has the chance to be lazy, Zhou Xinran doesn't mind being lazy.

roll?

What are you rolling up?

What's so great about rolling it up?

Life and death are intertwined, but in the end, only you will be swept away.

Therefore, Zhou Xinran prefers to stay in Jinyang City most of the time.

There is no need to resolutely stay home.

What could have moved Zhou Xinran to willingly go out?

"Isn't it because you're too amazing?" Zhou Xinran smiled and looked at Qiao Bai upon hearing this.

Qiao Bai: "???"

injustice.

Injustice, injustice, injustice.

This is a huge injustice.

How did I end up getting involved with him out of nowhere?

"Considering your young age, not even 20 yet, you're about to become the youngest professor of pet animals in all of China," Zhou Xinran said slowly, drawing out her words.

"You personally may not feel anything, but for China and the Beast Taming Alliance, this is a good thing."

so?

Listening to Zhou Xinran's words, Qiao Bai still felt a little confused.

"But specifically for each city... well, it's just a little bit tough." As she spoke, Zhou Xinran extended her thumb and forefinger, making a slight gesture.

"The alliance only has so many resources each year. If one city gets more, the other cities will get less."

"Because of your sudden emergence, NY City has gone from an inconspicuous city among many cities to a hot city, the top city in the hearts of beast tamers."

"You may not feel it yourself, but if you do the statistics, you'll find that there are more beast tamers and pet professors in New York City in the past two years."

Qiao Bai was taken aback upon hearing this.

amount.

He hadn't paid much attention to it.

But he did indeed know about this.

Seeing Qiao Bai's expression, Zhou Xinran shrugged: "That's how it is."

"These developments are perfectly normal, and other cities won't do anything to you because of them. That doesn't stop them from wanting to give it their all, preferably to outdo you, or at least be slightly worse than you."

Qiao Bai: "..."

"I've never seen them this energetic in previous years."

"Hahaha!" Zhou Xinran burst into laughter. "In previous years, there's never been such a lucky star descending from the heavens like you!"

"Before, everyone was at the same level, it was just a bunch of noobs pecking at each other, with no real winners or losers."

"But then Qiao Bai suddenly appeared, and wow, he completely dominated the tournament! If they don't turn things around, they'll really be left to be eaten like salted fish!"

The catfish effect.

So terrifying.

Although Qiao Bai didn't want to admit that he was the catfish.

"That's basically it." After laughing for a while, Zhou Xinran rubbed her stomach and continued, "Wanmu City is a rather special city like this."

Qiao Bai blinked.

Ok?

special?

Why did he feel like he had never heard of this city before?

"You've never heard of it before? That's normal." Seeing Qiao Bai's expression, Zhou Xinran knew what he was thinking. She smiled and briefly explained the special features of Wanmu City to Qiao Bai.

"Like most cities, Wanmu City has its own regional characteristics. The biggest regional characteristic of this city is that everyone is a Beastmaster."

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai: "!"

"joke?"

"What's so funny about this?"

"Everyone's a Beast Tamer... How did they manage that? Can the Beast Tamer bloodline be inherited? That doesn't make sense!" Qiao Bai muttered to himself, "While it's true that if someone in your family has awakened the Beast Tamer bloodline, it's easier for their descendants to awaken it, it's still not 100% certain. How did they manage to make everyone a Beast Tamer?"

"That doesn't seem right either?" Seeing Qiao Bai's troubled expression, Zhou Xinran couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Most of them should be called beast tamers."

Qiao Bai: "!"

Taming beasts, controlling beasts.

It's just a difference of one word.

The meanings contained therein are completely different.

The former refers to those who have awakened extraordinary power and can utilize it; they are collectively known as Beast Tamers.

"Unlike other cities built of steel and concrete that have been leveled and vegetation leveled, Wanmu City can be said to have been built directly on the foundation of a primeval forest." As if she felt that words could not explain it clearly, Zhou Xinran took out photos of Wanmu City taken by others.

Everywhere you look, there are trees so thick that it would take twenty people to hug them.

A treehouse built directly on an ancient tree.

The unique aerial path is made up of rows and rows of branches, with a series of commercial buildings such as department stores and restaurants standing side by side, which look very dangerous but are actually extremely sturdy.

Modern equipment such as power lines and cables are strung between the taller tree canopies.

Looking down, you see a clean, muddy ground.

I don't know what special technology was used, but it doesn't look like cement, nor does it have that muddy feel.

Even after the rain, the road remained sturdy.

If Qiao Bai had to describe it, Wanmu City would be more like the legendary place where elves live.

A combination of primitive and modern equipment.

It gives people a strange, direct feeling of steampunk.

"Amazing." That was all Qiao Bai could say after seeing the photos.

No amount of other descriptions can adequately capture a corner of this city as seen through the photographs.

It really is a different and magical city.

"So what are they trying to do now?" After looking at the photos, Qiao Bai was still a little confused.

"There are only so many resources; if you don't work hard, they'll all be snatched up by you." Zhou Xinran said in a calm and matter-of-fact tone, "They're planning to hold a talent selection event with local characteristics."

"I was invited to be a judge."

Qiao Bai: "..."

Although, but.

Putting aside the question of what this matter actually has to do with him, it just sounds very unreliable.

Qiao Bai looked at Zhou Xinran with a helpless expression.

If Qiao Bai still couldn't tell that Zhou Xinran was teasing him, then he wouldn't be Qiao Bai.

"Stop with your perverse humor, that's enough."

"And that alone isn't enough to make you willingly go out," Qiao Bai directly exposed Zhou Xinran.

Zhou Xinran shrugged, her expression quite calm.

"That's true."

"However, the prizes they're offering are very tempting; apparently, even the judges have a chance to win."

As if deliberately trying to keep her in suspense, Zhou Xinran paused appropriately as she spoke.

Qiao Bai: "?"

"Heart of Tianmu."

Qiao Bai blinked: "This... sounds familiar? It seems to be a very precious wood-attribute resource, right?"

As he spoke, Qiao Bai suddenly opened his eyes wide.

and many more.

He suddenly remembered what this Heart of the Skywood was.

"Does this thing actually exist?"

Qiao Bai had seen a description of this item in the Resource Encyclopedia a long time ago.

Because the description is very unique.

It is said to be a special resource that can only be produced by the combination of the heart, essence, blood, and energy of a pure wood-attribute extraordinary creature that has reached the ninth level of strength after death.

It can be considered a relic.

Not all ninth-tier wood-attribute extraordinary creatures can remain.

However, if it can appear, it must be extremely precious.

"Most of the extraordinary creatures in Wanmu City are of the wood, insect, or poison attributes. In addition, they get along very well with extraordinary creatures, so it's not hard to understand why they would have the Heart of Heavenly Wood."

Zhou Xinran spoke in a calm tone as much as possible.

Having spent a long time with Zhou Xinran, Qiao Bai was still able to detect a tiny bit of excitement in her tone.

Qiao Bai said he could understand.

Let alone Zhou Xinran.

Even he was somewhat tempted by it.

Even if I don't get it in the end, it would be good to see the legendary Heart of the Skywood.

"Don't even think about it." Qiao Bai understood Zhou Xinran, and Zhou Xinran understood Qiao Bai just as well.

She gave Qiao Bai a look.

Qiao Bai: "...So you just came here to show off, huh?"

His tone was filled with helplessness as he spoke.

you do not say.

He found out, but he couldn't have it...

Qiao Bai: →_→

"Hahaha!" Seeing Qiao Bai's frustrated and angry expression, Zhou Xinran laughed happily: "That's right, I came here to show off to you."

"Don't force me to give you a vicious blessing," Qiao Bai said helplessly.

Zhou Xinran wandered around Qiao Bai's research institute for a couple more times before embarking on her journey to Wanmu City.

Qiao Bai continued his research.

Although he was curious about the Heart of the Skywood, Qiao Bai didn't care that much.

Wanting to possess all the good things is the mark of a hoarder, a miser; he doesn't have that trait.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

Qiao Bai's main approach is to be open-minded and not overthink things.

however.

A week later.

"Professor Zhou has gone missing?"

Upon receiving the message from Qingniao University, Qiao Bai looked surprised: "How did they disappear? Isn't there any news from Wanmu City?"

Principal Lin was also quite troubled by Qiao Bai's persistent questioning.

"The situation in Wanmu City is special. The signal is often intermittent, so it's normal that we can't get in touch. They still maintain the most primitive way of communication."

Write letters, send letters.

"At first we didn't pay much attention, but for three consecutive days we didn't hear from Wanmu City, and Professor Zhou didn't contact us either."

"We immediately sent other people to Wanmu City... but we lost contact with them too."

As he spoke, Principal Lin frowned.

Unlike Qiao Bai.

Although Qiao Bai is more talented in pet research, Zhou Xinran is still the star of pet research at Qingniao University.

It wasn't just because of his age and status, but also because Qiao Bai himself preferred New York City and couldn't stay at Bluebird University for long.

With Zhou Xinran in charge, Principal Lin didn't have much of an opinion on this.

Now that Zhou Xinran has suddenly disappeared... Principal Lin is so anxious he's practically furious.

If he hadn't been stopped, Principal Lin would have insisted on going to Wanmu City despite his advanced age.

"Professor Qiao Bai, you mean..." Principal Lin grasped Qiao Bai's hands, his tone gradually becoming hesitant, and his eyes showing a hint of embarrassment.

Qiao Bai: "You want me to go to Wanmu City to check on the situation there, right?"

Principal Lin nodded sheepishly, looking quite embarrassed.

"It's alright." Qiao Bai didn't seem to care about Principal Lin's embarrassment. "Now that I know about this, I can't just ignore it. I'll get ready to leave now."

As soon as he said that, Qiao Bai immediately took action.

Light-Year Dragon Rider Express, let's go!
