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

Chapter 357 was continued at the last second? You don't know what's good for you!

With the countdown about to enter its final ten seconds, Qiao Bai didn't care about anything else and instinctively rushed forward, separating Hua Hua and Professor Ge who were embracing.

Professor Ge: "?"

Professor Ge looked at Qiao Bai with a questioning gaze.

However, out of trust in Qiao Bai, Professor Ge habitually followed Qiao Bai's actions and broke off his embrace with Hua Hua.

"a?"

Hua Hua tilted her head, revealing a purplish-red flower bud.

Wang Ming and Li Gan, standing to the side, were speechless.

The two of them suddenly opened their eyes wide again, staring intently at the Nightmare Flower's actions.

They were afraid that the Nightmare Flower might attack Qiao Baifa at the slightest provocation.

however……

Qiao Bai's feelings were indescribably complicated.

Right at this moment.

How come Hua Hua's [Mental Protection] buff, which was about to reach zero, has been renewed?

Qiao Bai: "?"

One head, two big.

A question mark floated across his entire head.

What exactly happened right under his nose just now?

Qiao Bai was completely baffled.

"Um..." Ge Zongyan looked at Qiao Bai's hesitant expression, thought for a moment, and then said softly, "Hua Hua... is there something wrong with Hua Hua?"

Ge Zongyan's voice was soft, and his eyes held a hint of worry as he looked at Qiao Bai.

He specifically invited Qiao Bai to come along because Qiao Bai had been in contact with Hua Hua, had strong professional skills, and knew Hua Hua well enough.

If anything happens...

Ok.

Ge Zongyan's own feelings are also very complicated right now.

He wasn't quite sure what kind of answer he wanted to get from Qiao Bai.

"The situation is a bit strange," Qiao Bai said without hiding anything.

Qiao Bai only saw the [Pollution] debuff on Hua Hua, but didn't know what it meant.

The severity is currently unknown.

What Qiao Bai was even more confused about was how the debuff, which was already almost on its last countdown, suddenly reappeared.

Yes, it's continued.

[Mental Health Protection (239:56:12)]

240 hours.

It took a full ten days.

To figure out the truth... "I need to take another look." Qiao Bai's expression looked quite serious.

There was no sense of joking in it.

Seeing this, Ge Zongyan took a deep breath.

It seems the situation is far more serious than he anticipated.

Ge Zongyan looked at Qiao Bai for a long time before finally nodding.

"Alright, I trust your judgment, Professor Qiao." Ge Zongyan let out a long breath, his lips pressed tightly together, his feelings indescribably complex.

But Ge Zongyan could distinguish between the importance and urgency of things.

I knew that the most important thing he should do at this time was to cooperate.

Looking at the Nightmare Flower, Ge Zongyan reached out his hand, and the flower once again obediently lowered its head, rubbing against his hand.

Li Gan and Wang Ming exchanged a glance, their eyes reflecting the same shock and disbelief.

Tsk...tsk tsk tsk!

Who would have thought of that!

"This guy looks pretty scary..." Li Gan muttered to himself.

Standing next to Li Gan, Wang Ming heard everything clearly and nodded, saying, "His strength is also very impressive... I reckon he shouldn't be too far from advancing to the ninth rank."

The two of them talked back and forth, their discussion going very well.

Qiao Bai, noticing the commotion from Wang Ming and Li Gan's side: "..."

Can't these two do something productive?

Qiao Bai didn't stand on ceremony.

I just rolled my eyes at them.

"You two."

Wang Ming and Li Gan, who were having a heated discussion, were both bewildered.

"Call us again?" Li Gan pointed uncertainly to his nose.

Qiao Bai chuckled: "What else?"

"Actually, you can speak a little louder, since everyone can hear you anyway."

Qiao Bai spoke lightly and calmly.

Suddenly realizing something, Wang Ming and Li Gan were speechless.

The two looked at each other again.

Secretly, silently, and with a guilty conscience, he turned to look at Professor Ge Zongyan beside him.

Professor Ge gave the two of them a polite smile.

Nightmare Flower also tilted its head and looked at the two of them in a very cooperative manner.

Wang Ming: "Ahem."

Li Gan: "Ahem."

This is utterly shameful!

I'm not saying anything more!

Qiao Bai then let out a soft hum.

"Let's find a place," Qiao Bai said without hesitation.

The Nightmare Flower's condition is rather strange; Qiao Bai needs to investigate further.

Wang Ming had no objection upon hearing this.

If possible, they would rather not confront such a powerful and potentially extraordinary creature head-on.

It would be best to resolve this peacefully.

If we could help them in return... that would be even better!

Thinking of this, Wang Ming glanced at the Nightmare Flower again.

……All right.

Wang Ming shook his head inwardly.

The most important thing in life is to learn to be content with what you have.

Some things are better left as is.

Overthinking not only makes things difficult for supernatural beings, but also for yourself.

"There's a lounge in the back; nobody usually comes here," Wang Ming said, leading the way.

There's no need to rearrange the location.

Although Nightmare Flower showed good emotional stability when facing Qiao Bai and Ge Zongyan, and didn't seem to go berserk easily.

However, just in case, we must not allow any accidents to happen.

This area is sparsely populated, making it the most suitable place.

Qiao Bai had no objection to this.

Professor Ge had no objections.

Li Gan?

Li Gan could only vaguely sense something, but what else?

Then there really aren't any left.

……

Imperial Spire.

"Ha! Dear Chen, have you heard the latest news?"

After working diligently in the laboratory for more than ten days, Dr. Chen was greeted by several people as soon as he came out.

Dr. Chen: "?"

What news?

The news that those idiots from last time are dead?

Dr. Chen racked his brains but couldn't think of anything else that could excite these people so much.

"Oh!" The girl with thick, curly hair, dark skin, and fiery red lips glanced helplessly at Dr. Chen.

"Dear Dr. Chen, your abilities are unparalleled even within the Imperial Spire."

"However, you're still a little lacking in receiving certain messages."

"You need to understand that, many times, the timing of when we receive the news is quite important to us!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Chen smiled slightly, revealing a gentle yet polite smile.

"Yes, Rita, you're absolutely right."

Dr. Chen then changed the subject: "But I still have you, don't I? My dear friend."

"Rita".

It's a very ordinary name, but the way Dr. Chen said it...

Rita was extremely grateful at that moment because her skin tone was exceptionally dark, so even if she blushed, it wouldn't be so easy to tell.

"Dr. Chen, you really are..." Rita hummed twice and didn't continue.

She skipped over the topic.

"That's because you said I'm your best friend." Rita tossed her hair, her face beaming with a warm smile again.

She winked at Dr. Chen: "Interesting news!"

"It is said that China has discovered a method to make honeybees evolve!"

Dr. Chen's pupils twitched suddenly.

This subtle change did not escape the notice of Rita, who was staring at him intently.

Rita was not surprised by this.

Instead, she laughed even harder, her body trembling with ecstasy.

"Right, right! Dr. Chen, you also think this news is outrageous, don't you!"

Seeing that Dr. Chen seemed very interested in the topic, Rita quickly continued.

Dr. Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Rita became even more interested upon seeing this.

Dr. Chen himself may not know this.

But inside the spire, most people's assessment of Dr. Chen is that he is polite, but he may not necessarily pay attention to you.

Most people have no objection to this.

All he could say was, "It's a common ailment of geniuses."

A common flaw in geniuses.

This is perfectly normal.

Rita was very excited about the topic that had captured Dr. Chen's attention.

Wow.

Seize this opportunity and win over Dr. Chen.

She can brag about it for a year after she gets back!

Dr. Chen could tell at a glance what Rita was thinking.

Dr. Chen remained expressionless.

It's not that I'm not angry.

He had been angry about this before.

Useless.

At times like this, Dr. Chen would feel a little nostalgic for his hometown.

At least everyone was civilized, reserved, and modest.

But it's just a little bit of nostalgia.

There's no more than that.

Seeing Dr. Chen's increasingly distant expression, Rita knew that if she dragged it out any longer, he would definitely turn around and leave, so she quickly continued.

"This is the latest news from the instigator in China."

"Honeybugs can actually evolve?" The explanation is just a matter of one sentence.

The main shock inside the Imperial Spire was—the honeyworms!

Those are honeyworms!

Waste of the worst!

It's a piece of junk.

They don't even qualify as extraordinary beings.

Thinking of this, Rita added, "It seems like evolving is actually quite simple?"

"And after evolving, it actually skyrocketed to the level of a mid-tier transcendent being?"

As Rita spoke, her tone carried a hint of disbelief, and her expression showed a touch of skepticism.

"I think... it's hard to say. Some of it might be true, but some of it is definitely fabricated!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Chen did not offer his own opinion, but instead asked a question in return.

"Rita, which part do you think is true, and which part is a fabrication?"

Dr. Chen's tone sounded very calm.

They seemed completely unsurprised and angry.

Rita couldn't hear any of those emotions.

If you ask her... isn't Dr. Chen usually like this?

What's different today?

Absolutely no way to tell!

"If you ask me, Rita said, resting her chin on her hand with interest, looking thoughtful.

soon.

A happy smile appeared on Rita's face.

"If I had to say, I think the fact that honeybugs can evolve is probably true!"

"As for the fake part..." Rita paused for a moment, then continued, "That's probably the fact that Honeybee is quite strong after evolving."

"How is this possible!"

"talent!"

"The upper limit!"

"These are things we're born with! Is it so easy to break through them just by wanting to?"

As she finished speaking, Rita's voice grew louder, sounding quite excited.

Dr. Chen gestured a calming gesture to her.

Rita then realized that she had gotten a little too emotional.

After taking a couple of deep breaths, Rita quickly regained her usual calm demeanor.

She gave Dr. Chen a kind smile: "Dr. Chen, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Dr. Chen said coldly, "We all know some things very well, don't we?"

"Oh, it's really interesting chatting with you, Dr. Chen." Rita smiled and walked up to Dr. Chen, giving him a flirtatious wink.

"You're right."

"Our gathering at the Imperial Spire shows that we share the same thoughts and ideals."

"so--"

Just as Rita was about to lean against him, Dr. Chen swiftly dodged away.

Rita lost her balance and stumbled forward two steps.

Dr. Chen's expression remained completely unchanged in response.

Rita gave Dr. Chen a resentful look: "You really are a man who doesn't understand humor."

Dr. Chen remained expressionless.

Like-minded?

Funny?

Ha ha.

When did he say these things? When did he admit to them?

Having squeezed all of Rita's value out of her, Dr. Chen waved his hand and left.

With the food in hand, Dr. Chen strode briskly back to his laboratory, his domain.

Sitting in the rest area, eating as he ate, Dr. Chen's mind raced.

News of the honeybug's evolution has leaked out... well, how should I put it?

Dr. Chen was not as surprised as one might expect.

He knew all along that this would happen sooner or later.

Just look at the nails that the Imperial Spire has driven into various countries over the years.

It should be said that it is already quite remarkable that China was able to hold out for more than a year before this news was fully revealed.

But...

When people want to complain about another person or a country, it has absolutely nothing to do with that person's or country's capabilities.

"They can't even keep track of this much information."

"snort!"

Dr. Chen gave a heavy snort.

He then let out a cold laugh: "But that's all the Imperial Spire is made of."

Don't believe honeybugs can evolve?

Do you think Honeybug's strength is just so-so after evolving?

Dr. Chen almost burst out laughing.

So many years.

With countless top talents at its disposal and its intelligence gathering on various countries, does the Imperial Spire really think it's the best in the world and invincible in the universe?

Dr. Chen pushed the plate away.

With the left foot on the ground and the right foot raised, the elbow resting on the right leg and the palm supporting the chin.

It was an exceptionally arrogant sitting posture.

"It seems..."

"I also need to think about finding another job."

Qiao Bai rubbed his nose.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Gan sat a certain distance away from Qiao Bai, watching Qiao Bai's every move.

Seeing something strange, Li Gan couldn't help but ask.

cough cough.

It wasn't that Li Gan didn't want to sit closer to his good buddy.

That's really... well.

Li Gan glanced at the Nightmare Flower sitting next to Qiao Bai, a large flower that looked like it could swallow Qiao Bai whole, and dared not speak.
