Chapter 244 Demolition and Trending Topics

He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Good guy.

So you've finally met your match, haven't you?

However, Huang Zhou still strode forward and took the initiative to help Qiao Bai out of the predicament.

"We've reached an agreement, so we can prepare to head back now."

Qiao Bai: "Okay!"

Lu Feng and the other staff members said, "Wait! Professor Qiao Bai! I think we can discuss this further!"

Qiao Bai's desire to escape grew even stronger.

"next time."

"I'll definitely do it next time."

Qiao Bai said in a very serious tone.

He has a pet waiting for him to come home!

Don't stay here for long!

Seeing this, Huang Zhou couldn't help but smile.

Good guy.

You've finally met your match, kid!

"If you really want Qiao Bai's help with the research, you still have to follow the proper procedures, right?"

Huang Zhou stood up to speak for Qiao Bai.

Instantly.

Lu Feng stopped.

Their gazes turned to Chairman Jiang.

Everyone else also turned to look at Chairman Jiang.

President, can you give me a straight answer?

President Jiang: "..."

"I understand." Chairman Jiang waved his hand helplessly at Huang Zhou: "Alright, alright, I promise to follow the procedures for you and won't let Professor Qiao Bai do all this work for nothing."

Although Chairman Jiang is a bit... well, stingy.

However, it involves the city's future development direction and financial prospects.

Chairman Jiang was aware of the situation.

Even if you're reluctant to part with some money.

You still have to spend the money you need to spend.

But not now.

After simply agreeing on a time.

Qiao Bai and Huang Zhou finally made it back to New York City safely.

Huang Zhou patted Chopper on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction: "Shall we go to the Beast Taming Alliance together?"

There are still many things to arrange!

"I need to go back to the research institute first," Qiao Bai said helplessly.

"I left in a hurry, and all my pet animals were left at the research institute."

Huangzhou suddenly realized.

"I was wondering how you managed to contract a pet beast in that unfamiliar environment..." Huang Zhou paused as he spoke.

Qiao Bai smiled slightly.

He understood what Huangzhou meant.

Although "angels" are amazing beings with mechanical attributes.

Logically speaking, Qiao Bai shouldn't have dared to attempt to contract a supernatural creature of unknown origin in that environment.

Don't you have any worries at all?

When Huang Zhou heard Qiao Bai say that he hadn't brought any of his original pets with him, he understood.

but……

"So how did you tame this pet beast?"

Huang Zhou looked at Qiao Bai with a slight puzzlement.

Generally speaking.

Before contracting wild extraordinary creatures.

We must all subdue this wild, extraordinary creature completely.

Otherwise, resistance is a perfectly normal thing to do.

Qiao Bai didn't bring any of his best pets.

I'm all alone.

How could someone actually successfully contract a pet beast?

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai smiled and said, "...I guess I was lucky. Angels are a rather special case."

Huangzhou: "?"

and many more?

Huang Zhou looked at the large sphere in front of him with a puzzled expression.

What is Qiao Bai shouting about?

Angel?

Inexplicable.

Huang Zhou opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"...Whatever makes you happy." Huang Zhou nodded haphazardly, imagining all sorts of scenarios about Qiao Bai's encounter with the "angel" and their contract.

None of this mattered to Qiao Bai.

It's good that Chairman Huangzhou didn't suspect him.

"The placement of the mechanical heart..." Huang Zhou felt a headache coming on again.

The heart of a machine.

An entity capable of continuously producing and manufacturing semi-living mechanical creations.

To say I wasn't tempted at all would be a lie.

But it was Qiao Bai who found the mechanical heart.

In terms of energy, it is also bound to Qiao Bai.

"It will take a little time for it to arrive, no rush."

Qiao Bai waved his hand.

"I'll come see you again tomorrow, Uncle Huang."

Huang Zhou thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"OK."

"Then you should go back and get some rest."

As he spoke, Huang Zhou patted Qiao Bai on the shoulder.

Qiao Bai turned around and went back to the research institute.

Fortunately.

The situation was slightly better than he had imagined.

The instant he saw Qiao Bai's figure appear.

The staff at Qiao Bai's research institute all wore expressions of joy that brought tears to their eyes.

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

"Waaaah! If you don't come back soon, we really won't be able to control those little devils anymore!"

"Professor Qiao Bai, your pet animals..."

A large crowd gathered around, their faces displaying expressions so complex they defied description.

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Cough cough."

Qiao Bai clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips, coughing a few times somewhat embarrassedly, before looking up at the others.

"Tell me, what happened while I was gone for most of the day?"

Could it be that the little birds really destroyed the house?

Qiao Bai walked inside while talking.

That's when I noticed it.

None of the people around me seemed to have said a word.

Before Qiao Bai could ask again.

call out--

shhhhh--

Several figures rushed out of the house towards Qiao Bai's direction.

Qiao Bai: "!"

If the impact were solid, Qiao Bai thought he'd be bedridden for a whole day.

Just then.

The "angel" who had been following Qiao Bai without making any moves suddenly started to act.

The shrunken metal sphere suddenly grew larger.

It directly blocked the several guys who were rushing towards them.

Little Wu: "?"

Catbug: "?"

The little white snake and the little jellyfish: "?"

Qiao Bai's four pets all looked at the "angel" with different kinds of doubt in their eyes.

Including the staff at the research institute.

Cheng Liang pinched the tip of his nose.

"no……"

"What is this now?"

"Is it also a supernatural being?"

Cheng Liang looked at Qiao Bai with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"Angel, a supernatural being with mechanical attributes, is also my pet." Qiao Bai nodded and gave an introduction to "Angel".

Everyone: "?"

kindness?

hmmmm?

What did they hear?

Mechanical properties... Really?

Xiao Wu, who understood what Qiao Bai was saying, also suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Her large, golden-red eyes were filled with utter shock.

Qiao Bai felt a little embarrassed after seeing this.

We should reflect a little more on whether he did something wrong.

The little bird flapped its wings and flew around the "angel" once.

Before Little Crow could get angry.

Its gaze toward the "angel" held a hint of doubt.

This name sounds familiar.

This big-eyed guy looks kind of familiar.

Where exactly did I hear the bird?

"Chirp chirp!"

It's a cell phone!

The cat-like insect, remembering something, loudly reminded him.

Little Crow: "!"

The bird remembered!

did not expect!

Little Wu looked at the "angel" in shock.

As pets who have been with Qiao Bai for a long time, Xiao Wu and Maomaochong both know about "Angel".

That's the thing in Qiao Bai's phone.

But they didn't really pay attention.

Anyway, it's on the phone.

No problem!

did not expect.

In the blink of an eye... their homes were stolen!

They've entered the inner sanctum!

Little Wu was fuming.

The cat-like insect looked at the huge metal ball, lowered its body, and entered hunting mode.

"Chirp chirp!"

I want to pounce on her!

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai scooped up the most obedient little white snake and jellyfish.

"During the time I disappeared, did you cause any trouble?"

Qiao Bai didn't ask about Xiao Wu and the cat bug.

no way.

Both of these pets are seasoned veterans.

Getting them to behave is a bit difficult.

in contrast.

The little white snake and the little jellyfish are different.

Both little ones are very well-behaved.

Especially when compared to Xiao Wu and Maomaochong.

They saw Qiao Bai's gaze fall on them.

The little white snake and the little jellyfish silently turned their heads away.

I just won't look at Qiao Bai.

Especially the small jellyfish.

Because it has no eyes.

He curled himself into a ball.

Small jellyfish: hibernating, refusing to communicate.

Qiao Bai remained silent.

well.

Whether there is a problem or not is now very clear.

"So what did you do?"

Qiao Bai looked pained.

"Ahem." Sui Yu coughed twice.

Qiao Bai looked over at her.

Sui Yu whispered, "...It's...Professor Qiao Bai's room..."

As she spoke, Sui Yu blinked.

sense.

You know everything.

Qiao Bai: "..."

I don't really want to understand it instantly.

But Qiao Bai actually understood what was going on.

His room is probably gone.

Qiao Bai opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Ok.

Within his expectations.

If it were just his room, Qiao Bai would even think that Xiao Wu and the others had toned it down a bit.

Not bad.

then……

Qiao Bai walked to the back.

Then I saw a row of ruins.

This is Qiao Bai's room at the research institute, and the staff's living quarters are not far away.

just now……

Qiao Bai rubbed his forehead.

"Let's all stay at the hotel for a few days." Qiao Bai turned his head away, no longer looking at the ruins.

It's no use looking at it.

It can't be fixed.

The only option is to rebuild.

needs time.

But they still need a place to stay temporarily.

After all, it was his pet beast that caused the consequences, so it's not really appropriate for everyone to live in the research institute.

"Actually, how you live isn't that important," Peng You said, stepping forward.

He stared curiously at the "angel" following Qiao Bai.

"Professor Qiao Bai, could you tell us more about this mechanical-attribute pet?"

Curious!

Mechanical properties!

That's an attribute that has always existed only in concepts!

They had never seen it before.

I didn't expect that.

This day will really come!

Who wouldn't be curious!

Seeing this, Qiao Bai didn't try to fool them.

I found a place to sit down.

Qiao Bai then briefly recounted what had happened to them.

of course.

Just like what was told to Lu Feng and Huang Zhou, it was an abbreviated version.

Replace the most important parts.

The rest of their experience was enough to shock them.

"You can do that?"

"Wow, my brother is amazing!"

"Professor Qiao Bai, no wonder you have that nickname..."

Qiao Bai glanced at Cheng Liang, who was speaking.

Cheng Liang: "..."

Cheng Liang coughed twice.

Others who had heard of Qiao Bai's nickname couldn't help but laugh.

Got it, got it.

Professor Qiao Bai didn't like this nickname.

Next time, I won't say that in front of Professor Qiao Bai.

"Is there a chance that we can get that mechanical heart here?" Peng You asked, bringing up another exciting topic.

The heart of a machine!

You can tell how awesome it is just from its name.

Their actual abilities are also incredibly impressive.

Peng You is not a mechanical enthusiast.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't like it or isn't interested!

"Maybe?" Qiao Bai said uncertainly.

"The most likely location is probably in New York City, where they've set up a special breeding ground for extraordinary mechanical beings, right?"

In fact, Qiao Bai had considered the whereabouts of the Mechanical Heart before he came out.

Staying in Jiangyuan City...that's definitely impossible.

Although the "angel's" body has already been manufactured, it does not require the assistance of a mechanical heart.

but.

What if something unexpected happens?

Even if the possibility is only one percent or one in a thousand, Qiao Bai still feels that it is better for the Mechanical Heart to be in his own hands or in the hands of his own people.

However, if it were in his own hands...

A little difficult.

If it were located in New York City, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

In addition, given his relationship with Huangzhou, if there were any situations where the Mechanical Heart was needed, Huangzhou would naturally agree without hesitation.

Thinking about it, Qiao Bai shrugged indifferently.

Peng You gave Chopper a thumbs up: "Professor Chopper, you really are..."

"great!"

After thinking for a long time, Peng You still used this word.

no way.

Other adjectives are not quite suitable.

The others around couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

They were able to grasp what Peng You was trying to say.

That's precisely why they found it so funny.

Qiao Bai smiled as well.

"That's good enough."

"Everyone must be tired today, let's go and get some rest. I'll reimburse you for the hotel booking later."

Qiao Bai said very generously.

The crowd cheered.

They don't lack the money.

But the boss was generous, so they were happy!

night.

Peng You, Cheng Liang, and their group booked a penthouse suite at a luxury hotel.

Not only can you get a 270-degree panoramic view of the city at night, but...

The hotel service was also very good.

All kinds of delicious food and wine are available.

Everyone relaxed and enjoyed themselves.

Just then.

An Qing, who was scrolling through her phone, suddenly frowned.

"Did you see the trending topics?"

The others: "?"

"What's trending?" Peng You, who was engrossed in eating melon seeds, looked up, glancing left and right with a clear look of confusion in his eyes.

An Qing: "..."

"The mechanical heart is trending on social media."

The others blinked again.

Sui Yu was the first to frown: "What's going on?"

"Hasn't the mechanical heart been delivered yet?"

How could the news have been leaked in advance?

The staff of the Jiangyuan City Beast Taming Alliance were well aware of the situation.

I would absolutely not dare to casually reveal this matter to anyone.

Very few people in New York City know about this.

Aside from Chairman Huangzhou, it's just these people.

But in the blink of an eye...

How did "Mechanical Heart" even become a trending topic?

Everyone quickly opened their phones.

then……

"no?"

"Where did this guy named Wen Wen come from, spouting nonsense here?"

Lu Yongjin frowned, looking both confused and annoyed.

"What do you mean by 'Professor Qiao Bai embezzled the Mechanical Heart'?"

"Where did he get this inside information?"
