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

Chapter 278 A Reasonable Request! On the verge of taking off from where it was!

Blue Whale: "..."

Blue Whale put one hand to his forehead and let out a long, helpless sigh.

"Alright, alright, I should have noticed your keen eye... I should have seen through it from how you mentored Jaeger. In short, I shouldn't have too much faith in you."

Bluebell glared fiercely at Blue Whale upon hearing this: "Can't you speak properly?!"

"Why be a riddle teller!"

The blue whale turned around and retrieved the Flame Dragon and Flame Emperor back into its spiritual beast-taming space: "The Flame Emperor is also tired and needs to go back and properly comprehend it."

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm leaving first." With that, the blue whale waved to the blue wind chime without turning its head, its attitude quite perfunctory.

What?

Explanation?

No no.

Something that doesn't exist at all.

Bluebell: ...Damn it!

One day!

Sooner or later!

……

"Oh dear." Jiang Heng, who had just learned about the recent excitement at Qiao Bai's research institute, couldn't help but let out a slightly regretful sound while sitting in his office.

"It's a pity I haven't had a chance to get to know Miss Blue Wind Chime properly up close," Jiang Heng said with a sigh, his hands clasped together and his chin resting on his hand.

"We really missed out this time."

"Otherwise, we might even be able to use this opportunity to build a very stable friendship!"

Seeing Jiang Heng's sighing and pretentious expression, Ning Ruxue remained silent.

What do you want to say?

Not at all.

This guy can act very well all by himself.

"Work has been easier lately," Ning Ruxue said in a tone that should have been a question, clearly already certain of the answer.

Asking is just a formality.

Jiang Heng remained completely still: "Hmm~"

Ning Ruxue: "..."

I don't know why, but this guy in front of me looks so annoying.

Fortunately, Ning Ruxue restrained her urge to punch.

Yep.

Beating someone up or something is out of the question; it's extremely unfriendly.

However… “Be careful,” Ning Ruxue reminded her earnestly.

The appearance of the mechanical octopus did not initially cause much of a stir at the Alliance headquarters.

A mechanically-attributed supernatural being?

interesting.

However, for those of them who have seen a lot, it's just something new and exciting.

I really have to say.

Extraordinary beings have so many attributes.

There are already many powerful and aggressive supernatural beings, so the addition of a mechanical supernatural being is merely icing on the cake, something to be discussed as a dessert during their leisure time.

If it weren't for the fact that Qiao Bai was involved, they probably wouldn't have paid as much attention to this matter as they imagined.

however……

When the mechanical octopus demonstrated its unparalleled working ability, everyone at the Alliance headquarters showed expressions of shock—Holy crap!

Have the legendary robots that can replace humans at work really appeared?

And it doesn't require any rest time at all?

Oh, no, not really.

They consume energy, and a lot of it—but they're willing to do it!

This saved them so much trouble!

In an instant.

With its powerful learning ability and strong work skills, the mechanical octopus became the most popular new employee at the Alliance headquarters!

Although, but.

Since Jiang Heng wasn't the little octopus's beast tamer, his overall work was much easier.

The little octopus helped alleviate some of the pressure on each department, and the overall pressure naturally decreased as a result.

In addition, having just finished a holiday, Jiang Heng has less work recently than at the end of the year, so he has a little more time to relax in the office and makes sure he leaves work on time every day.

lure.

It's just too tempting.

If it weren't for time constraints, the alliance staff would have loved to rush to Qiao Bai's side and each of them would have commissioned a mini octopus.

Don't ask.

The answer is simple: the little octopus is their god!

Jiang Heng leaned back in the soft chair and spread his hands: "What's there to worry about? You can trust Professor Qiao Bai to do things."

"Besides, Professor Qiao Bai himself said it's a blind box, a blind box, this is a blind box."

"What kind of mechanical attribute pets can be created by the belief in machinery? What does that have to do with Professor Qiao Bai? It's as if Professor Qiao Bai can control them."

Ning Ruxue sighed upon hearing this: "That's true, but..."

Ning Ruxue was still a little worried.

The mechanical octopus displayed power beyond imagination.

It is mainly in terms of intelligence, far exceeding that of normal extraordinary creatures and pets. Although it is only a very low-level extraordinary creature, its intelligence is close to that of humans.

This is the kind of intelligence that only ninth-order extraordinary beings possess.

Furthermore, they will be affected to some extent due to factors such as race and attributes.

But it's a mechanical octopus...

"I know what I'm doing. Professor Qiao Bai isn't as fragile as you think." Jiang Heng smiled and winked at Ning Ruxue. "Instead of worrying about Professor Qiao Bai, you should think about how to help him promote the blind box service. That's what Professor Qiao Bai's original goal was."

Ning Ruxue pondered for a moment.

Fine.

If you really want to talk about it, it seems that's indeed the case.

"Okay." Ning Ruxue nodded.

Upon returning to the inspection team, Ning Ruxue wrote a report specifically about the mechanical-attribute extraordinary creatures.

Wang Nianyan, who was the first to receive the application report, was speechless.

Wang Nianyan picked up the water glass beside him, looked at the report, and subconsciously wanted to take a sip of soda, but the moment it entered his mouth, he realized that the taste was wrong.

Why does it taste sour and bitter, and it seems to have a faint herbal smell?

It's like looking down.

Oh.

Goji berry water.

Wang Nianyan: "..."

Wang Nianyan glanced at Ning Ruxue, who was standing in front of him staring intently at him, and silently and nonchalantly put down the water glass in his hand.

He knows nothing.

"Ahem." Wang Nianyan shook the report in his hand a couple of times and said in a serious tone, "Xiaoxue, where is your report...?"

"Actually, our department's clerical positions don't seem to need this much... a mechanical-type pet, right?"

"Your reason isn't very convincing."

The inspection team has money.

However, this does not mean that the inspection team's money can be spent recklessly.

On the contrary, because they are part of the inspection team, they need to be more cautious in handling matters related to the reimbursement of public funds.

Ning Ruxue was very clear about all of this.

She nodded slightly: "I know about this, so I wrote a report specifically about it."

"The trend of mechanical-attribute supernatural creature blind boxes is inevitable. We may not need them that much, but the Alliance headquarters will definitely make a lot of purchases whenever there is an opportunity," Ning Ruxue said calmly.

This is not a baseless speculation.

This is a well-reasoned analysis based on my observation of the mechanical octopus.

Tell me, which of us office workers could resist a pet that, if carefully cared for, could help and assist us at work?

Nobody's here!

If it weren't for the nature of her work, Ning Ruxue felt she wouldn't have been able to resist this temptation either.

Wang Nianyan: "..."

Makes sense.

That's so damn true!

"The inspection team doesn't need to purchase in large quantities, but we can't afford to be ignorant of it." Ning Ruxue's words successfully silenced Wang Nianyan.

"Alright, alright." Wang Nianyan picked up the pen on the table and quickly wrote his name on the application document.

"You're quite right, so I have nothing more to say. I agree." With that, Wang Nianyan wrote the last stroke of his name.

The signature, written in a flamboyant style, seemed to fly off the paper.

"But later you can write a supplementary report, organize what you just told me, and write a report."

Ning Ruxue stared quietly at Wang Nianyan.

Isn't this revenge?

Isn't this revenge?

In retaliation, she replaced the teacher's cola with healthier goji berry water.

Wang Nianyan smiled upon seeing this.

Ha ha ha.

Can this be called revenge?

process!

These are all necessary procedures!

Ning Ruxue: Then I'll pretend I believe you!

……

Qiao Bai Research Institute.

"Dialogue with New Media?"

When Qiao Bai heard that a new media company wanted to interview him and then produce a video article both online and offline, his first reaction was to refuse.

It wasn't for any other reason.

Qiao Bai found it troublesome.

As someone who has seen a lot, Qiao Bai has had dealings with the media before.

Well...

Their professional competence lies in seizing hot topics, news stories, and eye-catching themes.

You can't blame them for doing that.

If we don't do this, we won't get to eat.

However... this is quite annoying for Qiao Bai and his colleagues who are being chased for interviews.

And because they are practically public figures, they can't do anything too outrageous in front of the public... which makes Qiao Bai really not have a good impression of them.

If possible, Qiao Bai would genuinely want to refuse.

We absolutely have to refuse!

"Professor Qiao Bai, this Flying Bird New Media seems pretty reliable this time." After thinking for a moment, Sui Yu whispered to Qiao Bai.

It wasn't that Sui Yu wanted to influence Qiao Bai's thoughts.

However... "The outside world is still quite curious about you, Professor Qiao Bai. There are all sorts of speculations about you on the internet, on various public accounts, marketing accounts, and in some media."

"In fact, instead of letting them make these unreliable guesses, it's better to give them a clear direction."

"Take control of the conversation and the initiative."

Sui Yu stopped there and did not continue.

Qiao Bai is not an idiot.

He did not blame Sui Yu.

Sui Yu was one of the first staff members to join his research institute, and Qiao Bai was quite satisfied with her, both in terms of her abilities and her willingness to serve as a tool without complaint.

Qiao Bai smiled and nodded to Sui Yu: "Don't worry, I understand what you mean."

"Do you have any information about this Flying Bird New Media?" Qiao Bai asked with certainty.

Sui Yu: "Yes."

as predicted.

Sui Yu took out a document containing information about Feiniao New Media, the company that had approached them. Although it was only a few pages long, it detailed Feiniao New Media's history from its founding to its reputation in New York City and the outside world's evaluation of them.

It also contains photocopies of articles and manuscripts written by members of Feiniao New Media.

Apart from the fact that the videos couldn't be compiled into paper documents, Sui Yu made preparations for everything else she could think of.

Qiao Bai could tell how much effort Sui Yu had put into it just by glancing through it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Sui." Qiao Bai held the document, smiled at Sui Yu, and said with a hint of helplessness and emotion in his expression.

He treated people like tools, but they poured their hearts out to him, which made Qiao Bai feel a little embarrassed.

"It's alright." Seeing Qiao Bai's slightly uncomfortable appearance, Sui Yu gave a sincere smile.

Sui Yu had no idea what Qiao Bai was thinking.

But Sui Yu knew.

If it weren't for Qiao Bai, she wouldn't be where she is today, nor would her husband, Lu Yongjin.

Their lives were definitely not as smooth and easy as they are now.

Sui Yu felt that all the worry and effort she put into Qiao Bai was worthwhile.

Not to mention that Qiao Bai himself is a generous and easy-going boss.

"Alright." Qiao Baizai carefully reviewed the information about Feiniao New Media again and finally nodded.

It's obvious.

Feiniao New Media enjoys a very good reputation in New York City and has almost never engaged in fabrication. It is a long-established media outlet in New York City.

Qiao Bai could also see that Feiniao New Media seemed to be in a bad situation because it was too bad at creating buzz.

Thinking about it that way...

Qiao Bai instantly understood why they wanted to invite him out.

We want to create some highlights and buzz in a legitimate way. Even if it doesn't become a huge hit, it will at least generate a lot of traffic within NY City and Jinyang City.

cough cough.

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai clenched his fist and coughed twice, feeling embarrassed.

Of course, Qiao Bai didn't say that because he was narcissistic.

This is the fact.

Although, but.

It's one thing that Qiao Bai prefers to live a secluded life.

Qiao Bai was quite aware of his influence in NY City and Jinyang City.

The pride that locals hold in their hearts is not something to be taken lightly.

"Let's arrange a suitable time... Hmm, how about the day after tomorrow?" Qiao Bai calculated that it was definitely too late today, and the message needed to be sent back to give the other side some time to prepare.

Then the day after tomorrow.

Just right.

Both sides can make proper preparations.

Feiniao New Media received a reply from Qiao Bai: "!!!"

Jump from the spot!

It's like a pie has fallen from the sky!

Holy crap!

"Holy shit!! Holy shit!!!"

"Professor Qiao Bai's research institute has replied!!!!"

"Did he agree? Of course not! Professor Qiao Bai is so busy, how could he possibly agree to our request!"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. But don't be too disappointed. This is just the first time. We can communicate more with the research institute."

This will also let them know our sincerity. Even Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times back then!
