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

Chapter 337 Reflecting on Myself! Understanding Human Relationships is an Art!

Ma Bai's family was neither well-off nor poor.

My father is a beast tamer, and my mother is a level 5 researcher. Neither of them can be described as particularly skilled.

Under the influence of his parents, Ma Bai was discovered to have some talent.

Whether it's taming beasts or conducting research on the evolution of pet beasts, they are a little more talented than their parents.

Originally, Ma Bai had to decide which path to take when he was in his second year of high school.

The experience of countless predecessors has proven this.

If you want both, the future will not be bright.

Then Qiao Bai suddenly appeared.

Unparalleled talent in pet evolution research.

He is also a fairly strong beast tamer.

Having both the talent for taming beasts and an interest in researching the evolution of pet beasts, Ma Bai impulsively decided to follow in Qiao Bai's footsteps and practice dual cultivation!

Qiao Bai is okay.

He can do it too!

He's just not as good as Qiao Bai!

It's okay!

He spent twice as much time and effort as Qiao Bai; he was going all out!

For this reason, Ma Bai specially came to Qingniao University from another city, just so he could get to know Qiao Bai up close and learn more knowledge and experience from him.

did not expect……

The start of the semester will present us with the situation that Qiao Bai will not be teaching any classes, and there will only be one open class this year.

Ma Bai was somewhat angry.

Logically speaking, it cannot be entirely blamed on Qiao Bai. Qiao Bai is only an honorary professor at Qingniao University, and his name was not originally on the teaching list.

But emotionally... Ma Bai took a deep breath and kept trying to convince himself.

It's okay, it's okay.

Didn't he already anticipate this situation?

But...but...okay, he thought there was always a "but," "maybe," "possibly," or "if."

Therefore, when Ma Bai saw that Chen Qiming knew nothing, he couldn't control his anger and his tone became a little harsh.

Then I heard what Chen Qiming said.

Ma Bai's feelings are incredibly complicated right now.

If Ma Bai were to describe it, it would be to the point where he would get up in the middle of the night and slap himself.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

To Ma Bai's surprise, Chen Qiming's eyes lit up instantly when he heard Qiao Bai's name, and his face looked exceptionally radiant.

"I know!"

"Professor Qiao Bai! And Professor Zhou Xinran!"

"They are all my great benefactors!"

Chen Qiming was so excited he wanted to pump his fist, but since he was carrying luggage in both hands, he could only do a token gesture.

But those around him could feel the gratitude emanating from Chen Qiming.

Absolutely true.

honest.

"My pet is the honey bug!"

"Then it evolved into a fairy butterfly, which allowed me to barely get into Bluebird University! I'm so grateful to those two professors!"

As he spoke, Chen Qiming released his fairy butterfly.

A beautiful, dreamy fairy butterfly gently landed on Chen Qiming's shoulder.

The students around Chen Qiming looked at him with complicated expressions once again.

Hmm... how should I put it?

Most of the freshmen who gathered to discuss Qiao Bai's open course were students from the Pet Evolution Research Department.

They're not 100%, but at least 80% of them are after Qiao Bai.

Therefore, the discussion was particularly intense and heated.

There were understanding voices, and criticisms... all sorts of opinions and perspectives.

But his words implied a hope that Professor Qiao Bai could add as many classes as possible.

Just a few sessions will do!

This is a responsibility!

It's an obligation!

As he spoke, his emotions became increasingly agitated.

Various forms of righteous indignation.

It's as if Qiao Bai not having extra classes is some heinous crime. If all else fails, they'll all jointly petition the school to apply!

If too many people are expressing the same opinion, shouldn't the school take it seriously?

Until they saw the fairy butterflies released by Chen Qiming.

They suddenly fell silent again.

Ma Bai stared at the fairy butterfly that was hovering over Chen Qiming and interacting intimately with him, and remained silent for a long while.

"Actually..." After thinking for a moment, Ma Bai still said, "Compared to teaching us, wouldn't it be more valuable if Professor Qiao Bai could use the time he saves to research more evolutionary paths for pets?"

The other freshmen around him remained silent.

The atmosphere became somewhat strange for a moment.

The oblivious Chen Qiming was completely unaware of anything amiss. He happily rubbed against the fairy butterfly and then looked at Ma Bai with sparkling eyes.

"Why?"

"Go on, student. What happened to Professor Qiao Bai?"

Faced with Chen Qiming's eager gaze, Ma Bailiang's heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Um... well..."

Ma Bai hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Ma Bai felt uneasy.

Ma Bai looked at the other students and gestured to them with his eyes—someone come out and explain this!

And then, unsurprisingly.

Everyone looked away.

He resolutely refused to make eye contact with Ma Bai.

Ma Bai: "..."

Hey!

What happened to the friendship we had before?

Others: No! Not at all! Don't talk nonsense!

And isn't it because Ma Baihe and Chen Qiming are having a good chat?

Let's just not let them join.

This is fine, isn't it?

Ma Bai rolled his eyes at the group of people.

Then Ma Bai turned to look at Chen Qiming.

Faced with Chen Qiming's bright, trusting eyes, Ma Bai's heart skipped a beat.

"Well... it's like this, Professor Qiao seems to be planning to give a public lecture this year, and we're all a bit..." Ma Bai paused appropriately.

Although Chen Qiming is a bit simple-minded, that doesn't mean he's completely incapable of thinking.

"Oh!" Chen Qiming gave a look of sudden realization. "I know! I understand!"

"Everyone thinks Professor Qiao Bai is amazing, and they definitely hope he can offer more classes so they can learn a lot from him!"

Ma Bai nodded repeatedly.

Correct!

Yes, yes, yes!

That's exactly what I mean!

Chen Qiming chuckled: "It's a pity I have absolutely no talent for pet evolution research, otherwise I've heard that this field is quite sought after after graduation..."

cough cough.

The topic has gone off track.

Chen Qiming shook his head, dismissing the jumbled topics, before looking at Ma Bai again and speaking.

"But Professor Qiao Bai isn't a regular teacher at the school, right?"

Everyone: "..."

Hmm... how should I put it?

That's exactly what happened.

But this is not...

"Professor Qiao Bai is a genius! Compared to teaching, Professor Qiao Bai must prefer doing his own research!" Chen Qiming said sincerely, without any sense of being stabbed in the back.

Talking isn't enough.

Chen Qiming started gesturing with a "heave-ho, heave-ho" sound.

"Maybe Professor Qiao Bai is the kind of research fanatic?" Chen Qiming said, carrying his luggage while waving his arms around in a dazzling display.

"Like those in TV shows and movies?"

Listening to Chen Qiming's words and watching his vivid gestures, those who had never met Qiao Bai in person but had only watched some of Qiao Bai's live streams and recordings couldn't help but have strange images of Qiao Bai in their minds.

kindness……

Hehehe!

"When will the open class be held?"

"Can I go and listen too?"

After Chen Qiming led others astray, he was completely unaware of it and continued to look at Ma Bai with those bright, sparkling eyes.

Ma Bai: "..."

Ma Bai's feelings were very complicated. He took a deep breath and struggled to pack up and throw out all the strange things that Chen Qiming had instilled in him.

"The open class is the day after tomorrow, and students from all departments can attend," Ma Bai answered Chen Qiming's question. "However, there will probably be quite a few people wanting to go, so getting a seat will definitely be difficult."

"Just be mentally prepared."

Chen Qiming, struggling to lift his luggage, gave a thumbs-up and grinned confidently, saying, "I'm an expert at grabbing seats!"

"I've honed my skills by fighting with the old men and women in town for discounted items since I was a kid!"

Listening to Chen Qiming's words, Ma Bai still didn't realize just how amazing this skill was.

It wasn't until two days later.

Ma Bai got up very early, leaving at 6:30, determined to get a better seat, and arrived at the auditorium.

Then I was shocked by the sight of layers upon layers of people.

"No?!" Looking at the huge crowd that looked like a locust swarm, Ma Bai's face was filled with disbelief.

"Are there really this many people at this time?"

"Really?"

"Isn't the open class at nine o'clock?"

Ma Bai was practically roaring out loud.

Nine o'clock!

The open class doesn't start until 9 o'clock!

Why are there so many people at 6:30? What's going on?

Go to heaven!

The person standing in front of Ma Bai, upon hearing Ma Bai's words, turned around and looked at him with a sense of shared misfortune.

"You're absolutely right, you've said it very well. I thought the same thing ten minutes ago."

Don't ask.

The answer is despair.

Ma Bai: "..."

It was true despair.

"How many people are there...?" Ma Bai muttered to himself, "Will I even be able to squeeze into the auditorium?"

What if we can't hear it because we're too far away?

Ma Bai felt increasingly desperate the more he thought about it.

"Hey! You're right!" The person in front sighed and started talking to Ma Bai, "The school should have anticipated this situation. If you ask me, the school should just rent a stadium like those for concerts for Professor Qiao Bai!"

"Otherwise, there simply won't be enough room for us to sit!"

Ma Bai was taken aback.

Ma Bai pondered.

After a moment, Ma Bai nodded solemnly: "What you said makes a lot of sense!"

Ma Bai introduced himself: "How should I address you, sir?"

"You're too kind, Sima Wen. Perhaps we were even family hundreds of years ago," Sima Wen said with a smile, standing in front of Ma Bai.

Ma Bai nodded: "Indeed!"

The others who happened to overhear this conversation were speechless.

outrageous.

There's a slight difference between Sima and Ma, isn't there?

Just because two people have the same character in their first name doesn't mean they have the same surname!

However, Ma Bai and Sima Wen hit it off immediately and had a very pleasant conversation.

"Saying there are tens of thousands is definitely an exaggeration, but if you ask me, there are definitely three to five thousand, or even more." Sima Wen glanced at the people already in line and then counted the people who hadn't arrived yet.

This number is not an exaggeration at all.

But to Ma Bai, it still sounded like something he couldn't understand.

"Our school's Pet Evolution Research Department doesn't have this many students across all four years combined, right?" Ma Bai's voice was filled with incomprehensible emotions.

Normally speaking.

Even students majoring in the subject wouldn't have a 100% attendance rate for these open classes.

Without enforcement, 40% to 50% is already considered a lot.

Furthermore, since the older students weren't attending, the auditorium should have been fully occupied.

Sima Wen agreed with Ma Bai's words: "However..."

Ma Bai paused for a moment.

Just know.

There's definitely a "but".

"But that's assuming the person giving the open lecture isn't Professor Qiao Bai," Sima Wen continued, turning to look at Ma Bai. "Just tell me, are you interested in Professor Qiao Bai's open lecture?"

Ma Bai: "..."

cough.

Have.

there must be.

Absolutely!

Ma Bai wouldn't be this enthusiastic about any other person's public lecture.

But what can you do when it's Professor Qiao Bai's open lecture?

In the field of pet evolution research, Qiao Bai's name is considered a well-known and respected figure.

Qiao Bai has only been in this industry for less than two years!

Just two years!

Who wouldn't be curious and interested in Professor Qiao Bai's open lectures?

Anyone who has the time will want to come and see!

"Moreover, Professor Qiao Bai's open lectures are not restricted by major, and he doesn't even mind people from other schools coming to listen." As he spoke, Sima Wen gave Ma Bai a knowing look.

Ma Bai: Got it, got it!

You absolutely must understand this!

Jinyang City alone has two first-tier universities.

Not to mention second-tier universities and some vocational colleges.

They can come if they want to; Professor Qiao Bai's open lectures do not have these restrictions.

As I said before, as long as they want to come, listen, and learn, Qiao Bai will treat them all equally.

The sparkle in Ma Bai's eyes had almost disappeared.

"...I really don't think I'll be able to sit down today."

Sima Wen also sighed slightly: "It's not that bad, you just have to wait in line."

"The main auditorium at Qingniao University is quite large, with a second floor inside. However, it is not usually open to the public. The school probably really didn't expect so many people to come, and they are currently tidying up."

"We should be able to go in soon if we wait a bit."

Sima Wen nodded as he spoke, appearing very well-informed.

Upon hearing this, Ma Bai, who had just arrived at the school and knew nothing about its facilities and buildings, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Waiting is fine! As long as there's a seat and we can hear Professor Qiao Bai's lecture, none of this is a problem!"

Just as Sima Wen said.

It didn't take long.

After about twenty minutes, almost half an hour, the line outside the auditorium finally started moving again.

Ma Bai followed the group step by step.

It was almost his turn.

Ma Bai peeked inside.

Crowded.

The seats were packed with people, and Ma Bai, who had initially felt relieved, couldn't help but feel his heart pounding again.
