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

Chapter 246 Undefeated in the Battle of Public Opinion! My heart is bleeding!

The "angel" carefully analyzed the situation for Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai did not interrupt.

She simply replaced the cat-like insect she was holding with a small bird.

In the research institute where the air conditioning is on 24 hours a day.

Holding the cat-like insect for a long time, its icy-cold texture made my hands feel a bit cold.

It's much more comfortable with Xiao Wu now.

The rejected cat-bug: baring its teeth.jpg

Catbug: Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

Qiao Bai: Pretend you can't see it.

Little Wu gave Catworm a haughty queenly look.

Catbug was so badly hurt that he became withdrawn.

"However, alchemists may have left behind private records related to the Mechanical Heart."

The "angel" remained unmoved by Qiao Bai's behavior of letting the cat and bird cuddles.

As the cat-like insect bared its teeth, the "angel" wiggled its body twice.

This was seen by the already angry cat-insect.

This is more like a provocation.

The little white snake flicked its long forked tongue, coiled itself on the chair where Qiao Bai was sitting, and rested its oval head on Qiao Bai's shoulder.

He clearly had an expression of watching the show with amusement.

Qiao Bai couldn't help but turn his head and take a look.

Yep.

Her beautiful golden eyes were so bright they almost seemed to glow.

Qiao Bai glanced at the little jellyfish again.

Well...

It wasn't as obvious as the little white snake's behavior.

Perhaps it's because they don't have eyes.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul.

Without this special window to the soul, it couldn't be easier for the little jellyfish to hide its true emotions.

But at this moment.

The little jellyfish was contracting and retracting its round jellyfish shell.

Its eight long tentacles were also waving wildly.

Obviously.

The little jellyfish was very excited.

Qiao Bai shook his head.

Just like Xiao Wu's unwavering and steadfast position as the eldest sister in the family.

Catbug's status as the "bullied" member is often brought up for discussion.

Qiao Bai decided it was better not to remind Catworm of this.

Otherwise, the little guy would really get furious.

Qiao Bai silently pulled out a bag of freeze-dried food that cats and bugs like to eat... ah, no, snacks.

It was pushed towards the direction of the cat-like insect.

His gaze remained fixed on the "angel".

"Private records, is that right?"

After listening to the "angel's" words, Qiao Bai pondered for a moment.

He had thought about this problem before.

Where something exists, it leaves a trace.

Alchemists from thousands of years ago were human too, weren't they?

Although alchemy was not passed down.

But what about their bloodline?

What about their descendants?

Even if it's just a tiny bit, just a tiny bit...

Just like when he was still in his hometown.

Whose ancestors weren't once wealthy?

In earlier years.

Who doesn't have one or two things that look like antiques?

Families that have preserved their lineage even better might have genealogies or similar documents that can prove their royal or noble bloodline.

Qiao Bai thought that was a valid interpretation.

And he simply described the "angel" in this way and that way.

"Angel":……

"That's one way to understand it, but there are still differences."

"Alchemists have no offspring."

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai silently typed out a big question mark.

But after the "angel" piqued Qiao Bai's curiosity, she said nothing more.

Qiao Bai stared at the "angel" for a long time.

In the end, we had no choice but to skip this topic.

"Fine, fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't," Qiao Bai muttered.

"Even if I did ask, you'd probably just say you don't have enough permissions."

The "angel" was unusually kind and understanding, remaining silent.

But that big eye blinked several times in a row.

The implication is self-evident.

"So let's summarize now." Qiao Bai doesn't act as a riddle teller, nor does he want to exchange riddle codes with riddle tellers.

He skipped the hidden topic of "angels" and got back to the main point.

"Regardless of the circumstances—the person who spoke ill of me behind my back must have some understanding of the Mechanical Heart."

As he spoke, Qiao Bai paused for a moment.

"Why do I have this feeling... this person might be related to Qin Yan?"

After thinking about it, Qiao Bai felt something was wrong.

Qin Yan has a map.

This doesn't mean Qin Yan knew what was actually in that place on the map.

If only we had known where the mechanical heart was earlier.

Even if Qin Yan doesn't join the Advanced Beast Taming Academy.

We must search the entire South China region thoroughly to find that location.

That's a superhuman creature with mechanical attributes!

"Deal with the online comments first," Qiao Bai shook his head.

I am in the open, the enemy is in the shadows.

I can't take action for the time being.

But it's not a big problem.

Qiao Bai looked at the "angel" beside him.

The other party probably didn't expect that "Angel" could do far more online than he imagined.

"Even if the other party knows the purpose of the mechanical heart, it doesn't mean they have any understanding of extraordinary beings with mechanical attributes."

"Not to mention, angels are not ordinary supernatural beings with mechanical attributes."

Qiao Bai said with a smile.

Although he is still unaware of the true purpose of this online uproar.

The other party probably never expected that either.

Playing the online public opinion game with him?

No, no.

There's absolutely no chance of winning.

soon.

With the addition of "angels".

Originally, it was all online troll comments, plus some uninformed bystanders who stumbled upon the story.

Before emotions are fully stirred up.

The "angel" has left the stage.

The internet age does not mean that people lack the ability to think.

When it comes to the ability to set the tone logically, "Angel" is definitely a master.

Appropriately showcase some of Qiao Bai's abilities and achievements.

perfect.

What dirty water?

What ill intentions?

None of them exist.

Qiao Bai gave "Angel" a thumbs up.

"Alright, a little attention online is enough," Qiao Bai said. "If you can find out who's behind this, great; if not, it's fine too."

Qiao Bai's voice was indifferent, and his expression was also indifferent.

They didn't take the online drama that night seriously at all.

"If the other party really comes with an ulterior motive, they will eventually take action."

"Otherwise..." Qiao Bai paused for a moment, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Xiao Wu stirred a few times amidst Qiao Bai's suspicion.

She raised her head and looked at Qiao Bai with her big, golden-red eyes.

Chirp?

I don't know why.

The bird seemed to sense a wicked aura emanating from the beast tamer.

Has the Beastmaster broken down?

But no matter how Xiao Wu looked at it, he couldn't see anything wrong.

In the end, Xiao Wu could only rub against Qiao Bai a couple more times.

Yep.

Let me rub against it more!

The beast tamer will definitely be fine!

Qiao Bai, completely bewildered: "?"

Qiao Bai was already used to Xiao Wu suddenly rubbing against him, but he simply reached out and touched him back.

……

the next day.

8:00 AM is the normal start time for work.

All the staff who rested at the hotel last night have returned to work.

"Professor Qiao Bai!" An Qing greeted Qiao Bai as soon as she saw him.

On the contrary, Qiao Bai looked at An Qing with a hint of surprise.

An Qing also noticed it.

She slightly curved the corners of her lips, a faint smile appearing on her usually indifferent face.

"Professor Qiao Bai, about last night..."

As she spoke, An Qing looked at Qiao Bai with concern.

Qiao Bai immediately understood what was going on.

Qiao Bai waved his hand: "It's not a big deal. Most people are still rational."

Just as Qiao Bai said.

There are all sorts of weirdos and freaks on the internet, but there are also rational netizens.

What era are we living in?!

Let's set aside whether the true capabilities of the Mechanical Heart are as described online.

Is the state useless?

Other countries, especially neighboring Sakura, are unsure if it's the same.

But their country certainly isn't like that!

Whether it's from official sources, private individuals, or staff at the Qiao Bai Research Institute, are they all blind?

Moreover.

Qiao Bai had never shown any ambition or villainous traits before.

Suddenly you want to cause trouble?

They felt that some people were trying to cause trouble!

Aside from a few netizens who are genuinely not very bright and have fallen for online conspiracy theories, most people are on Qiao Bai's side and are fiercely criticizing the other side.

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai smiled again.

Whether he cares or not is one thing.

When Qiao Bai saw that everyone was on his side, his mood improved considerably.

"Professor Qiao Bai, you have such a good attitude." Seeing that Qiao Bai really didn't take this matter to heart, An Qing gave Qiao Bai a thumbs up.

That's a really strong mentality.

An Qing put herself in her shoes... she felt she wasn't up to the task.

She already had some psychological issues.

If someone targets her like this...

"Everyone, get back to work." Just then, Qiao Bai waved his hand, shooing them all back to their work stations.

"Did everyone who was supposed to rest or gossip last night get a good night's sleep?"

Qiao Bai's gaze swept over them.

Everyone: "..."

Cough!

Professor Qiao Bai, what nonsense are you spouting!

Can't you just pretend you didn't see anything?

Qiao Bai smiled.

The crowd immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.

OK OK.

Got it, got it.

Ultimately.

Professor Qiao Bai is a capitalist.

Qiao Bai :)

Qiao Bai had no idea what they were thinking, otherwise he would have definitely shown them.

What defines a true capitalist?

He only learned the basics, and that was about it.

I came out of the research institute.

Qiao Bai went directly to the Beast Taming Alliance.

Enter through the main gate of the Beast Taming Alliance.

Many people coming and going had their eyes on Qiao Bai.

As Qiao Bai gradually became famous.

Qiao Bai is no longer the nameless young man he used to be, the one no one would recognize even if he came in.

Qiao Bai is now famous.

Any ordinary resident and beast tamer in New York City could recognize it.

When he's out, Qiao Bai might wear a mask to cover up his identity.

But in the Beast Taming Alliance... Qiao Bai gave up after thinking about it.

Nobody is wearing a mask.

He was the only one wearing a mask.

Isn't that even more obvious?

Even if you don't recognize it the first few times, it's still useless even if you figure out the pattern later.

It's better to just walk in confidently.

Watch it whenever you want.

However, no matter how famous someone is, they'll seem the same after a while.

unless……

"Professor Qiao Bai, about that 'Mechanical Heart' thing that was being talked about online yesterday..." Someone walked up to Qiao Bai and gently bumped his shoulder.

His tone was excited.

Her eyes were full of curiosity and excitement as she looked at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai smacked his lips, looking somewhat troubled.

A normal, perceptive person would know to skip this topic at this point.

pity.

Young people don't know how to read colors.

Qiao Bai was speechless and somewhat helpless.

Ok.

Actually, he's one of those young people who doesn't know how to read the room.

It's just that Qiao Bai doesn't need to worry about what others think now.

He sighed.

Qiao Bai was about to say something to brush it off.

"Professor Qiao Bai, the president is already waiting for you." A receptionist who looked somewhat familiar walked up to Qiao Bai.

She spoke gently to Qiao Bai.

Then he gave the people around Qiao Bai a slightly anxious and troubled look.

young people:"!"

She blushed instantly.

He stood up straight.

"Professor Qiao Bai, the president is looking for you, you'd better go right away!"

"Otherwise, the girl will get criticized along with her!"

Speechless is Qiao Bai's native language.

Feelings aren't about being oblivious to subtle cues.

So you only know how to read girls' expressions?

Kind of funny.

But Qiao Bai still waved and walked towards Chairman Huang's office.

Go inside.

Chairman Huang sat there, not looking particularly anxious.

Qiao Bai paused for a moment, then walked in with a normal expression.

"Uncle Huang, I'm here."

Qiao Bai stood at the door and knocked lightly a few times.

Huang Zhou, who was looking at something on the screen, sat up straight and looked towards Qiao Bai at the door.

"Oh! You're here!" Huang Zhou waved to Qiao Bai twice.

"What's our relationship? Just come in."

Qiao Bai smiled and said, "We still need to maintain proper manners."

Familiarity.

You shouldn't be too unruly unless you're their parent.

Maintaining a certain level of politeness and distance is a key to making relationships closer and longer-lasting.

Qiao Bai, who has many years of experience in this area, has a deep understanding of it.

Regardless of the nature of the relationship.

Going too far is never a good thing.

Seeing that Qiao Bai insisted, Huang Zhou didn't say anything more, but the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

"I was supposed to discuss the Mechanical Heart with you today, but last night..." Huang Zhou frowned slightly as he spoke.

obviously.

I also saw Huangzhou trending on social media last night.

no way.

The topic involved an unprecedented mechanical supernatural creature and Professor Qiao Bai, the most famous pet professor in the past year.

The topic's popularity skyrocketed.

It's not something that an "angel" can suppress at will.

If you actually suppress it, it will only make the situation worse.

Qiao Bai didn't try to force the issue and suppress the topic.

Let's have a rational discussion.

There are still many rational voices.

Qiao Bai nodded, roughly guessing what Huang Zhou might say: "It's not entirely unreasonable for the Mechanical Heart to be in the hands of the NY City government..."

Qiao Bai hadn't finished speaking.

Huangzhou waved his hand.

That's not what I meant.

"You too." Huang Zhou looked at Qiao Bai with the same eyes one would give a rich but ignorant child.

"Some things you can give up, and some things you can't."

"Besides, the activation of the Mechanical Heart is inherently bound to you, so it's perfectly normal for it to be under your name."

Qiao Bai was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.

It wasn't that Qiao Bai doubted Huangzhou.

But...

It might not be a big deal in small matters.

However, the existence of a mechanical heart can influence the future development of a city.

This attracts a steady stream of beast tamers to apply for and purchase extraordinary creatures with mechanical attributes.
