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

Chapter 346 Will we be at odds with the whole world in the future? Let's do it!

This emotion seems very strange!

They dared not sleep when facing Shi Hong.

But when they secretly exchange glances in private, they are quite bold.

Shi Hong was in a daze for a moment, thinking about many things in her mind, yet it seemed as if she wasn't thinking about anything at all.

He lowered his head again.

He then saw the group of people whispering amongst themselves in front of him.

Shi Hong raised an eyebrow, looking as if she was about to get angry.

"Professor Shi, come and take a look." Just then, a young head poked in from outside.

The other staff members immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

He is Professor Shi's student!

good good!

Their savior has arrived!

Saved!

These words were written all over everyone's eyes.

Shi Hong didn't even glance at them, but nodded to the disciples outside the door: "You've arrived."

Professor Shi left.

The atmosphere in the entire cafeteria became more relaxed.

I don't know who let out a long sigh first.

Similar sounds followed one after another.

"Phew—that scared me to death!"

"Thank goodness! Senior Brother Lin arrived just in time!"

"Senior Brother Lin is a lifesaver for us!"

"But speaking of which...aren't you all curious about what exactly happened between Professor Shi and that Qiao Bai?"

The words fell.

The cafeteria fell silent once again.

The person who spoke quickly turned around and glanced back.

It's not that Professor Shi has returned.

Thank goodness!

but……

"I am curious, but I think..."

Another person spoke slowly.

"Well, it's best to tone down your curiosity a bit in front of Professor Shi."

The person who had spoken earlier also fell silent for a moment.

Don't say it.

You know what?

That makes a lot of sense!

It's best to just keep quiet.

……

the other side.

Lin Zhou walked beside Shi Hong, smiling as he looked at her. Unlike the others, he didn't seem afraid of Shi Hong's dark expression at all.

"Teacher, why bother? We're just relaxing during lunch!"

"Hmph!" Shi Hong snorted softly upon hearing this, her expression quite serious.

"no the same."

Shi Hong's expression looked very serious, which made her look even more solemn.

If anyone else were walking next to Shi Hong, they would be too scared to speak at this moment.

"I won't hold some of what people say against my will."

"But how dare you say we can figure out the importance of this project in a matter of minutes?"

"What irresponsible talk!"

In the end, Shi Hong, who was only a little angry at first, started to get really angry.

Lin Zhou opened his mouth, wanting to say something to ease the atmosphere.

But he didn't know how to say it properly.

"Um... this one..." Lin Zhou was still racking his brains.

Then Shi Hong continued speaking.

"Do you still want that Qiao Bai thing?"

"That's the name, right?"

Shi Hong glanced at Lin Zhou, and Lin Zhou nodded.

That's the name.

He knew this person.

Shi Hong's face darkened again: "These young people nowadays are really... ha, they're just showing off their half-baked knowledge!"

"Nonsense!"

Shi Hong gave a stern rebuke.

Lin Zhou was even more at a loss for words to explain.

"Teacher... I mean, is it possible that this Qiao Bai is actually quite capable?" Lin Zhou looked at his teacher helplessly.

Having spent a long time by Shi Hong's side, Lin Zhou also knew his personality.

He's not a bad person.

But sometimes I take things too seriously.

And then there's that little bit of something I can't quite put my finger on... well, stubbornness, obstinacy, and a refusal to admit defeat.

Lin Zhou couldn't speak ill of his teacher.

But Lin Zhou said that some people, in his opinion, were not as the teacher described.

"You've got the guts?"

"How capable can someone be?" Shi Hong's expression was one of disdain. "Can someone be as capable as Professor Wu?"

When she mentioned this name, Shi Hong's voice sounded even more clenched through gritted teeth.

Professor Wu, Wu Qingshan.

The only professor in China with national treasure-level expertise in the study of pet evolution.

This is also the goal that Shi Hong has been pursuing for so many years.

Looking back on her youth, Shi Hong's dream was to become Professor Wu's disciple and follow in his footsteps to become China's next national treasure-level professor of pet evolution research.

Shi Hong had planned and arranged everything perfectly.

He has the ability.

He has dreams.

He was equally hardworking.

If he could receive guidance from Professor Wu, he would definitely make rapid progress.

but.

Shi Hong's dream was thwarted at the very first step.

Professor Wu did not accept him at all.

Shi Hong initially thought that Professor Wu didn't want to take on any apprentices.

Unexpectedly, many years later, Professor Wu, now older, took on disciples again.

This made Shi Hong, who had already embarked on the path of becoming a professor of pet evolution research, extremely resentful. Her feelings for Professor Wu also changed from pure admiration at the beginning to a complex and indescribable state.

This isn't the first time that Professor Wu has been brought up for comparison with other researchers studying the evolution of pets.

If it weren't for the old man's kind nature...

The hatred level is about to be maxed out.

Even so, Shi Hong still managed to garner a lot of hatred for the old man.

"Forehead……"

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhou's expression seemed somewhat troubled after hearing Shi Hong's words.

Shi Hong: "?"

"That's how it is." Lin Zhou cleared his throat.

He knew that his teacher was not interested in these kinds of things, so he basically didn't bother to find out about them.

Despite his advanced age, he still devotes himself to his research projects all day long.

I am focused.

However, to some extent, it has also become out of touch with the outside world.

If it weren't for Lin Zhou, a student, Shi Hong's reputation would definitely be even worse.

Lin Zhou recalled Qiao Bai's past actions and finally said slowly, "This Professor Qiao Bai must be quite remarkable."

"It's hard to say whether he can compare to Grandpa Wu."

Before Shi Hongfa could get angry, Lin Zhou seized the opportunity to continue, "Anyway, Grandpa Wu himself thinks highly of Professor Qiao Bai. There are rumors that Grandpa Wu really wanted to take him on as his apprentice."

Shi Hong: "?"

A big question mark appeared above Shi Hong's head.

His eyes were filled with deep doubt.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've never heard of this before!" Shi Hong said, pausing for a moment.

He then continued, "Moreover, Professor Wu doesn't have any new students right now."

Shi Hongfa swore an oath.

It's definitely not because he's paying attention to Qiao Bai.

It's not about paying attention to Mr. Wu!

Rather, given Mr. Wu's status and position, any actions he takes, especially accepting apprentices, will inevitably cause turmoil within his social circle.

When Qiao Bai makes his first appearance, Grandpa Wu will definitely come out to support him, or he will give some hints to the professors in the industry behind his back.

But none of these were available.

Shi Hong had never heard any news!

There is absolutely no relationship between Qiao Bai and Grandpa Wu!

...At most, it's just a relationship based on normal interactions!

Lin Zhou: "..."

Okay, okay.

Lin Zhou sighed helplessly.

What can he do if the teacher is stubborn?

We can't really strip the teacher naked right here, can we?

No, no.

This is very bad.

We should all be a little bit kinder!

"It's like this, the time should be around..." Lin Zhou paused, as if recalling something, "Hmm... around the time Qiao Bai developed the affinity system?"

"Wasn't it precisely because of this positive impression that Grandpa Wu was able to push forward with his ultimate project, which provided the crucial breakthrough?"

"It is said that the old man developed feelings for Professor Qiao Bai around that time."

"Old Master Wu even made a personal trip to New York City."

This matter is somewhat of a secret.

Lin Zhou knew it was due to some coincidences... Actually, he just happened to be in NY City at the time, and he did some preliminary investigation.

Then I was warned.

Lin Zhou thus learned more about the inside story.

I've known about Qiao Bai for a long time.

Thinking about this...

Lin Zhou's feelings were still a little complicated.

It is really complicated.

Two years ago.

At that time, even though Lin Zhou knew about the positive feelings Qiao Bai had shown, he didn't really take Qiao Bai seriously.

They also felt that it was a bit too much for Grandpa Wu to think of taking Qiao Bai as a student.

Is Qiao Bai really capable of taking on this responsibility?

In short, there are all sorts of opinions that are not optimistic about Qiao Bai.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Bai was like a rising star that suddenly appeared, streaking across the sky at an unstoppable speed and appearing in everyone's sight.

And it dimmed all those once-shining stars.

It became the most dazzling star in its time, and even in the previous era.

Was Lin Zhou's mood not complicated?

It's so complicated!

He wished he could go back two years and find Qiao Bai again so he could see with his own eyes how Qiao Bai had managed to get to where he was today, step by step.

Lin Zhou couldn't understand it!

I really can't understand it!

What happened to the promise that we're all human?

Why was it only Qiao Bai who secretly evolved?

He, who had been studying under Professor Shi Hong for many years, was almost overtaken by Qiao Bai!

"That's roughly what happened."

Lin Zhou shook his head, shaking away all those complicated and indescribable emotions.

He is not a person who likes to wallow in self-pity.

No need.

It's really unnecessary.

That's how you should be a person.

Just be happy.

Moreover, his personal achievements alone are already quite remarkable.

As long as you don't compare her to Qiao Bai, there's nothing to criticize.

"As for why there was no follow-up... it's probably because Qiao Bai refused and didn't agree to become Grandpa Wu's student."

"That's all I know," Lin Zhou said, nodding.

Nothing was overlooked.

That's how it should be.

Lin Zhou smiled and said, "Grandpa Wu must think highly of Professor Qiao Bai, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to all this way to invite him."

Shi Hong: "..."

Shi Hong took a deep breath.

He took another deep breath, which prevented him from doing anything he didn't want to see in his anger.

"...This guy..."

crunch.

Lin Zhou realized it wasn't his imagination.

He seemed to actually hear a rubbing sound.

Lin Zhou quickly turned his head to look over.

Good guy!

He exclaimed, "Wow!"

Professor Shi Hong was so angry she was grinding her teeth!

Even in this situation, Professor Shi Hong still managed to maintain her composure and refrain from uttering any offensive or hurtful words.

Lin Zhou couldn't help but want to give Professor Shi Hong a thumbs up when he saw her.

As expected of his teacher!

That's awesome!

Shi Hong seemed to realize something, turned her head and gave Lin Zhou a big eye roll.

You brat!

They'll just watch him make a fool of himself!

However, despite her anger, Shi Hong really didn't want to swear at people.

He doesn't have that kind of interest.

Swearing doesn't make people feel better.

On the contrary, it would make him seem as if he were utterly powerless.

Therefore, Shi Hong dislikes swearing.

But that doesn't mean he wouldn't get angry when he saw the amused looks on his students' faces.

"I didn't expect Professor Wu to be so optimistic about this..." Shi Hong paused, as if swallowing a rather unpleasant form of address.

His expression returned to normal once again.

of course.

Even with a seemingly normal expression, his face was still dark and looked extremely serious.

"Qiao Bai, right?"

When this name is mentioned, Shi Hong still feels very unfamiliar with it.

It seems like I haven't paid much attention to it?

However, it's the kind of thing that I vaguely remember.

Just like Lin Zhou mentioned before, he remembered it.

Then... "Later, it seems it was him again who brought up the concept of 'tacit understanding,' right?"

Lin Zhou nodded.

That's it.

Shi Hong frowned, her expression turning somewhat serious: "I remember he was quite famous online for a while?"

Shi Hong looked at Lin Zhou.

"That's true." Lin Zhou continued to nod.

"The main reason is that Professor Qiao Bai discovered a new evolutionary path for Altera, which allowed Mr. Huo's Altera to successfully evolve into the Dragon King."

This incident generated quite a bit of buzz online at the time.

Professor Shi Hong was at the research institute the whole time, so she didn't notice it much.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hong's brows relaxed considerably.

The Dragon King's evolution path.

Even Shi Hong cannot claim that she can figure it out with 100% certainty.

But precisely because of this... "The evolutionary path of Altera evolving into Dragon King cannot be verified."

Shi Hong said with great certainty.

Lin Zhou gave a somewhat helpless smile upon hearing this: "Isn't that something to be sure about?"

"The successful evolution of Old Master Huo's Altera might have involved a bit of luck, as Professor Qiao Bai also said."

"But regardless of whether luck played a part or not, since Old Master Huo has spoken out, Professor Qiao Bai must have played a very important role in this."

Who is Old Master Huo?

They've gotten old.

They have status.

Famous.

Although it's a single lineage, it's very stable!

If they develop for several more generations, they might become one of those dragon-type beast-taming families!

Among the beast tamer families nowadays, how many dare to call themselves dragon-type beast taming families?

You can count them on one hand!
