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

Chapter 336: Preview of the Open Class! Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon!

Thinking about the research results Qiao Bai had... Shen Ruowan shut up.

Fine.

As long as Qiao Bai is happy spending his money, that's all that matters.

In this matter, Fu Tianguang was more open-minded: "As long as they're happy with their purchases!"

"And I heard that Qiao Bai's sixth sense is pretty strong, right? Maybe this really is something that will be useful to Qiao Bai's pet beast?"

"Eight million is actually quite cheap!"

Shen Ruowan suddenly realized.

That's right.

I almost forgot.

Qiao Bai also has a very famous sixth sense.

Perhaps… Shen Ruowan glanced at her sister, and well, felt a little guilty.

Shen Ruoyan and Shen Ruowan exchanged glances and immediately understood what her younger sister was thinking. She waved her hand dismissively, saying, "I just think this thing is kind of interesting and a bit pretty."

"Buying it as a decorative piece isn't out of the question, but eight million... I'd really have to think about it!"

Shen Ruoyan said sincerely.

The Shen family is wealthy, but that doesn't mean she can spend money recklessly.

If I say I want to spend eight million to buy a suitable pet, my family will definitely have no objections and it will go directly into the company account.

But if you're talking about spending eight million on a decorative item... well, you'll definitely have to use your own savings.

Even if Grandpa Shen is their biological grandfather, it doesn't matter.

As for whether her secret stash could afford it... Shen Ruoyan wore a helpless expression.

Hey.

It's better not to say anything.

Having money and having money in your hands are two different things!

In contrast, Qiao Bai doesn't have many industries... and the mechanical pet manufacturing industry hasn't fully taken off yet, but Qiao Bai is genuinely wealthy, and all of it is real liquid capital.

He is many times more advanced than his peers.

Listening to their conversation, Qiao Bai smiled and said, "Sixth sense... you could say that, anyway, I just feel like I won't regret buying it."

"But how do you use this thing...?"

Qiao Bai wiped the fragments with a tissue, held them in his hand, and examined and caressed them repeatedly.

I estimate that the complete object should be a four- or five-inch disc, about five or six centimeters thick, with the edges being slightly higher.

Qiao Bai touched his chin.

"I'm still quite confused."

Qiao Bai told the truth that he bought it, but didn't know how to use it.

"Maybe it really is like what that stall owner said, it all depends on fate."

When the time is right, you will naturally find out.

Shen Ruowan: "..."

I want to complain, but I don't know where to start or what to say.

"...Maybe your life has the makings of a protagonist, and one day you might just find out how to use this thing." Shen Ruowan said, her tone more like a sarcastic remark than a genuine complaint.

Qiao Bai laughed heartily: "Thank you for your kind words."

Qiao Bai was quite satisfied with what he had gained at today's market.

After spending another day at the Shen family's house, Qiao Bai took some time in the afternoon to go to the market by himself.

It's pretty ordinary.

It wasn't as interesting as it was in the morning.

Qiao Bai sighed.

Fine.

That morning was a lucky break; it's good to have even one such chance, and the probability of doing it again is really not very high.

the next day.

Qiao Bai returned to Jinyang City with a heavy burden on his shoulders.

"Yo!"

"What a busy person!"

When Zhou Xinran saw Qiao Bai early in the morning, she showed a surprised expression.

It was genuine surprise and astonishment.

"I am, after all, an honorary professor at Bluebird University. It's only natural for me to come back for a visit."

As soon as Qiao Bai finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Zhou Xinran quietly looking at him, continuing to look at him.

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Alright, I'll take care of my coursework while I'm at it. I probably won't be coming to school for a long time," Qiao Bai said again.

This time, Zhou Xinran stopped staring at Qiao Bai, clearly believing him.

Qiao Bai's lips twitched: "No?"

What kind of image do I have in your heart?

It wasn't his imagination; Qiao Bai felt that there seemed to be something slightly off about his public image.

"What other image could it be?" Zhou Xinran crossed her arms, standing proudly and upright. "Probably the standard genius image, the kind where, apart from themselves and their research, they don't care about interpersonal relationships or social niceties at all!"

Qiao Bai remained silent.

Qiao Bai frowned.

"Wait a minute?" Qiao Bai noticed the key point: "Are you sure you're not just repeating what I said?"

"What kind of genius image is this?"

"It's not that bad!"

Zhou Xinran: "..."

Zhou Xinran rolled her eyes at Qiao Bai.

Have some self-awareness about what kind of person you are, okay?

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai clicked his tongue, his expression remarkably calm.

What?

embarrassment?

No, no.

It doesn't exist at all.

Qiao Bai was never embarrassed by such things.

Zhou Xinran said that his personality was unconventional, and there's some truth to that.

Qiao Bai is a person who never suffers from internal conflicts; his spirit is remarkably strong.

Moreover, Qiao Bai knew quite well how to reasonably go crazy and kill others when the pressure accumulated to a certain level.

Instead of wasting our time on internal conflicts, let's all share in his pain!

Qiao Bai: When it comes to life, you still have to be good to yourself!

Fortunately, Zhou Xinran didn't know what Qiao Bai was thinking, otherwise she would definitely have given Qiao Bai a big eye roll.

"Hmm..." Qiao Bai touched his chin with his left hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "In that case... how about I prepare a public lecture when school starts soon?"

As he spoke, Qiao Bai looked at Zhou Xinran.

Zhou Xinran was stunned for a moment, then realized what Qiao Bai meant.

"If it were you, it wouldn't be impossible." Zhou Xinran glanced at Qiao Bai, a knowing look appearing in her eyes.

"You're definitely not planning to teach next semester, right?"

Qiao Bai smiled slightly.

Some things don't need to be said so explicitly.

it is more than words.

"I'm preparing for the National Beast Tamer Competition," Qiao Bai explained to Zhou Xinran.

Zhou Xinran's lips twitched.

However, his face showed no sign of anything unusual.

Unlike those who wanted to advise Qiao Bai after hearing his words, Zhou Xinran had known Qiao Bai for quite some time.

Zhou Xinran might not know 100% of what kind of personality Qiao Bai has, but she probably has a general idea.

Once Qiao Bai has made a decision, he won't listen to other people's opinions and make adjustments.

This can be considered a notification rather than a discussion.

"Think about it carefully. With your current strength, it's not impossible for you to give it a try." After a moment of silence, Zhou Xinran nodded and said in a very calm tone.

Qiao Bai smiled and glanced at Zhou Xinran, then raised his hand towards her: "I knew you would understand me."

"Hmph." Zhou Xinran snorted lightly, but still reached out and slapped Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai put his hand down, took a few steps, dragged two chairs over, and the two of them sat down.

"Like I said before, no matter what, I am still an honorary professor at Bluebird University." Qiao Bai crossed his legs and rested his chin on one hand.

Zhou Xinran glanced at Qiao Bai.

It was discovered that when Qiao Bai performed this action, it didn't seem vulgar at all; instead, it carried an indescribable sense of ease and freedom.

Qiao Bai's body language was very relaxed: "I definitely don't have time to give large lectures, but I'll at least prepare for a dozen or twenty class hours."

As he spoke, Qiao Bai glanced at Zhou Xinran again.

Zhou Xinran, realizing Qiao Bai's train of thought: "..."

Zhou Xinran looked furious and embarrassed: "That was an elective course!"

"We'll talk about it later!"

"You taught quite well, didn't you!"

That wasn't irresponsible of her!

Absolutely not!

Zhou Xinran would never admit it!

Qiao Bai nodded repeatedly.

He made "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" sounds through his nose.

I understand.

Mm-hmm.

This is it.

Zhou Xinran was furious.

In the end, all he could do was roll his eyes at Qiao Bai.

"That's basically it." Qiao Bai decisively skipped over the topic.

No need to go into further detail.

You know everything.

Qiao Bai said calmly, "But I can hold an open class at the beginning of the new school year, and students who want to come can just sign up to get in."

"That just covers all my classes for the new school year."

Zhou Xinran chuckled.

"You make it sound so easy." Zhou Xinran swore that she absolutely did not have a problem with Qiao Bai, she just felt that Qiao Bai might be thinking too simply.

"Indeed, you are very capable and very famous in the field of pet evolution research."

"If you were to offer your classes as usual, I'm sure many students would want to enroll in them."

"But if it's just a public lecture, what makes you competitive and irreplaceable?"

Zhou Xinran paused for a moment as she spoke.

She thought to herself silently.

Ok.

It's not impossible, actually.

After all, Qiao Bai is not just famous for his research on pet evolution, he is extremely famous!

As long as Qiao Bai's name and signboard are displayed, it will definitely attract a lot of people to watch and become famous!

but……

Zhou Xinran's concerns were not entirely unfounded.

Since Qiao Bai became an honorary professor at Qingniao University, the number of students applying to Qingniao University for pet research has increased significantly this year, including many already well-known geniuses.

So, were they after Zhou Xinran?

Forget it.

It's hard to say whether Qiao Bai has any self-awareness.

But Zhou Xinran is absolutely aware of her own limitations.

These people could only be after Qiao Bai.

They wanted to take Qiao Bai's class and learn from him.

However, Qiao Bai had no intention of holding a class at all, only planning to hold a public lecture... These students who came for Qiao Bai were certainly not willing to be fooled like this.

If it's just a public lecture...

Why don't they just watch the recorded lectures on the official website after the open lectures are over?

Why did they give up offers of admission and recruitment from better schools and travel thousands of miles to come here?

Zhou Xinran thought about it a lot.

She didn't want to put pressure on Qiao Bai.

However, I don't want Qiao Bai's reputation to suffer a blow because of this.

Zhou Xinran thought about many things in her heart, but outwardly it only took her a few moments to think.

With a quick glance around, Zhou Xinran silently looked at Qiao Bai, as if waiting for his answer.

Although Zhou Xinran did not express her worries and concerns.

But just by looking at Zhou Xinran's expression, Qiao Bai understood everything.

Qiao Bai felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Don't worry, I'm prepared." Qiao Bai smiled calmly again, not only not worried at all, but also reassuring Zhou Xinran.

Zhou Xinran's head was filled with so many question marks that they were almost overflowing.

Qiao Bai, however, still wore a smiling expression.

Zhou Xinran: "..."

"Alright then." Zhou Xinran sighed, no longer expecting Qiao Bai, this great riddle-maker, to say anything more.

Since Qiao Bai said that... then Qiao Bai must have a plan... right?

At last.

Zhou Xinran still felt a little uneasy.

……

Summer vacation is over in the blink of an eye.

Soon it will be time for the start of the new school year at all universities.

Returning students go back to school.

New student admission.

All the schools were bustling with activity.

This year, Qingniao University was exceptionally lively.

"That's the one, have you all heard about it?"

"I heard, I heard! It's like nobody hasn't heard the news!"

"Sigh... Professor Qiao, this is really... how should I put it? Is this what they call a genius's temper?"

"You can't say that, can you? I think Professor Qiao is a really nice person!"

"But about this open class..."

"Wait, wait, wait?! No? What are you all talking about?! I feel like I've stumbled into some kind of giant riddle-solving event! I don't understand a single word!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the person who had spoken last.

I glanced at the notice in the other person's hand... Oh, not surprising at all, it's for the combat department.

"Surely the combat faction must have heard nothing about something this big!"

Someone was muttering quietly.

The student who had just opened his mouth, meaning he hadn't understood anything, seemed to be participating in a large-scale riddle-solving event. Chen Qiming was a combat-oriented beast tamer who enrolled this year.

Chen Qiming's ears twitched, and upon hearing this, he scratched his head with his hand, revealing an embarrassed smile on his honest face.

"I came from a rural town... My family wasn't well-off, and my grades were just barely enough to get into this school. During the summer vacation, I was training pets, going up mountains and down rivers..."

"I don't know much about what's going on at school..."

The other freshmen: "..."

Everyone looked at Chen Qiming once again, without prior agreement.

However, this time everyone looked at him differently.

There was a touch of encouragement mixed in with the sympathy.

Looking at Chen Qiming's clothes and luggage... they weren't exactly awful, but they certainly weren't great either.

The country and the alliance provide subsidies.

The subsidies can only allow underage beast tamers to live a normal standard of living.

Not to mention that being a beast tamer is an expensive profession.

"Getting into Qingniao University is already amazing!" The person who had been muttering quietly earlier stood up, embarrassed, and gave Chen Qiming a thumbs up, saying with a reassuring expression.

"By the way, my name is Ma Bai, and I'm a freshman in the Pet Evolution Research Department."

"We're talking about Professor Qiao." Ma Bai paused for a moment, then continued, "Professor Qiao Bai, you know him, right?"

As he finished speaking, Ma Bai's tone became somewhat uncertain.
