Chapter 32 got stuck in an unexpected place.

Clocking in, starting work, and beginning a new day for working people.

As Qiao Bai sat down, he was still pondering another question.

Affection and tacit understanding can be improved, mental strength can be cultivated, and special attribute skills and fire attribute skills have been acquired. What should I do with the last one, the essence fire?

"Fine Fire" can be understood as the innate true fire cultivated by extraordinary fire-attribute beings after they have mastered their skills.

Among a hundred fire-attribute extraordinary creatures, not even one might possess the essence of fire.

Take another look at Little Crow.

The Hua bird itself has a special attribute, and the three-legged golden crow sounds like it has a fire attribute, or it may have a fire attribute plus a special attribute.

To master fire skills without possessing fire attributes, and to also control the essence of fire... Qiao Bai smiled. His innate skill was definitely not deliberately making things difficult for him. There must be some prerequisite that he hadn't unlocked yet, right?

Qiao Bai smiled, put the problem aside, and chose to deal with the part that could be handled first.

The most important thing in life is not to make things difficult for yourself.

Perhaps after Xiao Wu masters fire-attribute skills, it will unleash its bloodline power and its fire attribute will increase dramatically!

The next few workdays went by quickly.

Xiao Wu's basic training became even more rigorous, taking up most of his time, and the results were remarkable. Xiao Wu's level was on the verge of breaking through to the advanced second tier, and the "-" in his mental strength was also removed.

The favorability rating remains unchanged, stuck at 49, like it's at a watershed.

Qiao Bai did not insist.

He has only spent less than a month with Xiao Wu, so he needs to give Xiao Wu some time and let her take her time.

When the alarm clock rang on Saturday, Qiao Bai didn't waste a moment and took Xiao Wu into the city by car, arriving at the Beast Taming Alliance in NY City.

The familiar receptionist, but a different attitude.

The receptionist, whom she had met twice before, widened her eyes the moment she saw Qiao Bai, clearly recognizing him.

"You... hello! You must be Mr. Qiao Bai, right?" The receptionist staggered forward and gave Qiao Bai a restrained smile.

Qiao Bai looked puzzled. This title... "I am Qiao Bai. This is my prospective beast tamer identity card."

The receptionist took the ID card, quickly operated the machine a few times, and after confirming that Qiao Bai's identity was correct, she walked around the front desk to Qiao Bai and handed the ID card back to him with both hands.

"Please come with me, Chairman Huang is already in his office," the receptionist said with a smile.

Qiao Bai nodded and followed.

A short while later, the receptionist returned to the front desk alone.

"Phew—that scared me to death!" The receptionist, who had been tense all morning, finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into her chair with a sense of ease.

A colleague looked at her amusedly: "What's so scary about it? Qiao Bai seems very gentle."

"You're just a coward," another colleague agreed.

The receptionist rolled her eyes at her two colleagues who were all talk and no action: "Why didn't you two take responsibility for greeting him? You just pushed me out the moment he arrived!"

The two colleagues quickly shut up.

Compared to beast tamers, they are just ordinary people. Who knows if the beast tamers who were so gentle last time will have a completely different attitude after their fame and status have increased?

The receptionist chuckled, gaining a deeper understanding of the superficiality of their colleague relationship.

……

the other side.

After the receptionist helped Qiao Bai open the door to Chairman Huang's office, she left, and Qiao Bai went in alone.

Huang Zhou, who was sitting behind his desk working seriously on documents, immediately broke into a bright smile the moment he saw Qiao Bai.

"You're really punctual, right on time at nine o'clock." Huang Zhou stretched out his hand and strode towards Qiao Bai.

Before Qiao Bai could react, Huang Zhou tightly grasped both of her hands.

Qiao Bai smiled: "President Huang."

"You're too kind, just call me Uncle Huang." Huang Zhou let go of Qiao Bai's hand and patted him on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction, leading Qiao Bai inside: "I could tell you were extraordinary when we met last time, I didn't expect you could actually help Xinran."

Qiao Bai nodded slightly at everything Huang Zhou said, agreeing with him appropriately.

You can listen to it, but don't believe it too much.

As the president of the Beast Taming Alliance in NY City, Huang Zhou couldn't possibly be kind and amiable to someone without a reason. Besides, Qiao Bai hadn't forgotten Huang Zhou's attitude when they last met.

Polite, smiling, and tactful, even when offering to "open a back door" for him, her attitude carried a subtle hint of condescension.

Qiao Bai wasn't unaware of it, but there was no need to make a fuss about it.

It's the adult world, after all.

That's how real and hypocritical it is. Your personal value determines how others treat you, and at that time he certainly didn't show much value.

But now... Qiao Bai glanced at Chairman Huang, who was grinning from ear to ear and treating him like a junior, and wondered what value the other party had gained from him.

Qiao Bai thought and thought but couldn't come up with a solution.

Qiao Bai put it aside for now.

As long as his innate skills are not discovered, nothing else matters; his most valuable asset is his innate skills.

After exchanging pleasantries and expressing his concern for Qiao Bai, Huang Zhou finally picked up a document from his desk and handed it to Qiao Bai.

Huang Zhou said succinctly: "Look, this is the special subsidy I applied for for you. After you finish, print out a copy of your ID card, fill out the form at the back and sign it. You can start receiving the subsidy this month."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang." Qiao Bai quickly flipped through the documents, a look of surprise on his face.

He looked up at Huangzhou: "Isn't this amount a bit too high?"

When Qiao Bai received the message from Huang Zhou on his phone earlier, and heard that it was 2 a month, he thought that the Beast Taming Alliance was really generous!

2 yuan may not be much for a beast tamer who wants to keep a pet, but as a subsidy, it is quite a lot.

If a student can receive such a large subsidy, the Beast Taming Alliance must be very wealthy.

It wasn't until he saw the specific documents today that Qiao Bai realized the 2 yuan subsidy was the highest tier of all subsidies, and the requirements to obtain it were extremely stringent.

"Not high at all. Compared to your achievements, I'd say it's too little. Your discovery of the honey bug's evolution and the provision of crucial verification points are both merits and significant contributions!" Huang Zhou waved his hand upon hearing this. "If it weren't for your age and the academic difficulties you face, I would have directly applied for a special allowance for pet evolution research for you."

This allowance is completely different from the subsidy Qiao Bai received.

The special beast tamer subsidy is a friendly subsidy for beast tamers who have made contributions but whose personal conditions are not good. The amount ranges from 1000 to 2 and there are eight levels, with 2 being the highest.

The special allowance for pet evolution research is a special allowance issued to researchers aged 20 to 40 who are professional researchers in the field of pet evolution, whether they are on the payroll or not. The minimum allowance is 10 yuan per month.

pity.

This is the first time in so many years since the special allowance for pet evolution research was introduced that Huangzhou has encountered someone whose contributions and achievements have been recognized, but who has been limited by the basic thresholds of age and professional expertise...

Asking that would be very awkward.

Huangzhou wanted to give Qiao Bai another backdoor, but due to the reporting and review process, it was simply impossible.

Qiao Bai himself was stunned when he learned of this.

At first glance, 2 seems like a lot, but the difference between 10 and 2 is a bit too much.

Fortunately, Qiao Bai quickly adjusted his mindset. He never expected to gain any extra rewards from the evolution of the honey bug. Whether it was a windfall of 10 or 2, the difference was... well, the difference was quite significant.

Qiao Bai filled in his personal information on the form, signed his name at the end, and handed it to Chairman Huang after confirming that everything was correct: "Uncle Huang, you can help me apply after I get into university."

Huang Zhou laughed heartily: "Good, good, good! As long as you get into a suitable major at a university in this province, I will never forget you!"

Huang Zhou stood up, just about to take Qiao Bai to print his ID card, when his phone rang.

Huang Zhou gestured to Qiao Bai and then stood a little further away to answer the phone: "...Do as I said before. The opening of the mining area can only proceed after I have someone confirm it."

I've been writing all day, and this is all I can write. This is my limit.
