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

Chapter 56 Raising a wife? This is my daughter!

Cui Wenzhong successfully tricked Grandpa Wu into coming to the canteen.

While getting his food, Grandpa Wu grumbled, "I'm not hungry right now, so eating during my two-hour workday isn't a problem."

"You only told me about that academic conference after I'd actually eaten it! What kind of student are you?!"

"You wicked disciple!!!"

The project team staff near the cafeteria window all avoided the old man when they heard his strong voice.

They were afraid of being targeted by the old man, who was in a bad mood.

It's not that the old man was harsh.

That's right... As a leading figure in the field of pet evolution, Mr. Wu Qingshan has dedicated his entire life to the work he loves.

Over the course of thirty years, fifty-six previously undiscovered new evolutionary paths for extraordinary beings were discovered, and forty-two already discovered evolutionary paths for extraordinary beings were found to be simpler.

Mr. Wu is reluctant to retire because he hopes that the two numbers combined will exceed one hundred before he dies.

Ideally, two more undiscovered new evolutionary paths for extraordinary beings should be discovered!

Once he achieved that, there was truly nothing left for him to hold onto in his life.

The "Ultimate Defense" project is a major research project established in March of this year.

The goal is to allow a group of extraordinary creatures with extremely high defense to evolve again, gaining even stronger defense that is close to the ultimate!

Theoretically speaking.

"Ultimate defense," "Strongest attack"... such extraordinary creatures should exist.

For example, the Light-Year Dragon Rider is a recognized superhuman creature with "ultimate speed".

The speed at which one can fly around the world in 30 seconds is something that not many superhuman beings can surpass.

All nations agree that extraordinary beings with "ultimate defense" and "strongest attack" may already exist, but their evolved forms have not yet been successfully discovered by humans.

The field of pet evolution will become a popular profession in the next hundred years, which is also inseparable from the pursuit of "extreme".

Whichever country discovers a new "ultimate" and masters the key to its evolution will gain access to a wealth of resources.

Previously, there were many research institutes of varying sizes in China that studied "extremes".

However, they failed to produce any significant results.

There has been no official response.

Until this year, for some reason, a project team was established.

And they also invited Mr. Wu Qingshan over.

The old man agreed immediately upon hearing this.

With invitations from both the state and the official alliance, coupled with unlimited resources, how could Old Master Wu, who dreamed of researching a brand-new evolutionary path for just two more days, possibly refuse?

Moreover, Mr. Wu not only has high standards for himself.

He also has high standards for the people around him and the members of the project team.

That's good.

In just six months, the project team has made considerable progress, successfully selecting four of the most suitable superhuman creatures from among a group of superhuman creatures with good defense as their first research targets.

Mr. Wu stated that he aims to discover at least one new evolutionary path for one of the extraordinary creatures before the Lunar New Year.

They are very energetic and motivated, but everyone is really starting to feel the strain.

Working 24 hours a day with high mental exertion.

It's one thing for them to listen to the old man when they're working, but let's give them some time to relax during meals!

The only person who can withstand Mr. Wu's workload and still find extra time is Mr. Wu's closed-door disciple, Cui Wenzhong, over the years.

"Yes, yes, yes, you're right, I'm listening." Amidst the admiring gazes of the others, Cui Wenzhong routinely placated the old man, successfully and easily seizing control of his lifeline.

"You say your piece, I'll do mine. If you don't want to listen, you can go back now. Anyway, you're not good at mobile live streaming and blogging, so if I don't tell you, you can forget about finding out from other channels."

Old Master Wu got angry and lashed out.

What could the old man do?!

Aside from his work, the only other thing he's interested in in his life is new discoveries in his field of expertise.

Their Achilles' heel has been exploited.

There was absolutely no way to resist!

With two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a soup, Grandpa Wu silently ate more than half of his meal before putting down his chopsticks and slamming his fist on the table, shouting, "Is that enough?!"

Cui Wenzhong glanced at it and said, "It's passable. I won't hold it against you this time."

Before Mr. Wu Qingshan could slam his fist on the table again, Cui Wenzhong began to tell him about the academic conference he had attended earlier that day.

"The new evolution path of the little fox, the Fox Queen, proves that the concept of favorability is very likely true," Cui Wenzhong summarized for the old man.

"...That's about it, it's quite interesting."

As he spoke, Cui Wenzhong laughed again and winked at the old man: "Do you know, the young man who convened this academic conference is Qiao Bai, the one who publicly thanked Professor Zhou at his academic conference more than half a month ago."

Within a month.

Two academic conferences were held in succession in Jinyang, Nanyang.

They were also cleverly linked together.

"I listened to Xiao Zhou's academic conference later, and the evolution of honeybees is very valuable." Grandpa Wu affirmed Zhou Xinran's academic conference.

Then he started thinking about the "favorability rating" he had just heard about.

"You know what, this concept... it's quite interesting," Grandpa Wu said, nodding.

Does the mutual affection between the Beastmaster and the Beastmaster affect the Beastmaster's evolution?

As Grandpa Wu spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, and his facial expressions became increasingly varied.

Cui Wenzhong could tell at a glance.

The teacher has had an inspiration and is deep in thought.

He did not disturb the old man.

A few minutes later.

The old man suddenly stood up, his bright eyes shining even his reading glasses couldn't hide them: "Hahaha!!! I've got an idea!!!"

Without saying a word, Old Master Wu turned around and rushed towards the research institute!

While inspiration is still flowing, not a single second can be wasted!

"Huh?!" Cui Wenzhong was completely bewildered and quickly stood up to chase after the old man.

Who would have thought that Mr. Wu, who is over sixty years old, walks so fast that even a young man like Cui Wenzhong can't keep up with him.

Grandpa Wu could no longer hear any other sounds.

There was only one thought in his mind—genius!

This Qiao Bai must be a genius!!!

Once he finishes writing down this plan, he'll have someone contact Qiao Bai immediately!

……

"Achoo—" Qiao Bai sneezed, and Xiao Wu, who was wandering outside the door, heard the sound and quickly flapped his wings and flew in.

It kept circling around Qiao Bai.

Xiao Wu: (each)

Qiao Bai rubbed his nose: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I guess I caught a chill from going into the woods the day before yesterday. I'll be fine after drinking some hot water."

Xiao Wu nuzzled against Qiao Bai, while Dou Dou's eyes were serious.

Ok.

It believed it.

But I didn't expect the Beast Tamer's body to be so weak!

It seems it must quickly take on the responsibility of supporting the family!

Qiao Bai knew from this that Xiao Wu's mind had wandered off to outer space again.

He felt rather helpless about this.

After Xiao Wu became stronger, he always felt an inexplicable protective instinct towards him.

Qiao Bai: What a heavy burden of love!

Last night, Qiao Bai took Xiao Wu to a nearby grove of trees, hoping to find a suitable opponent for Xiao Wu to try out its new skills.

After wandering around for a long time, they still couldn't find any bird-like supernatural creatures.

This includes common bird species.

The woods were completely empty.

While Qiao Bai was speechless, he seemed to know why this situation had occurred—it was because Xiao Wu had used the King's Aura a few days ago.

After searching for nearly an hour and a half.

Qiao Bai finally managed to find a lone bird with an injured wing.

Qiao Bai: I feel uneasy, but I really can't find a better practice partner.

"After you've tested the skills, I'll take you back to the service station and pay for your treatment," Qiao Bai said apologetically, clasping his hands together.

Bird: Tui! Back off! Back off!

And then... no more.

Xiao Wu's new passive skill effect is really powerful.

Under Qiao Bai's command, the passive skill of [King's Eye] was triggered the moment Xiao Wu showed aggression towards the sparrow.

A blade of wind struck the bird.

The bird immediately fainted.

Qiao Bai had just taken the bird to the service station and treated it when the bird acted as if it had encountered some kind of ferocious beast, flapping its wings and running away without daring to stop for a moment!

Recalling Xiao Wu's expression back then, Qiao Bai still feels a little amused.

Xiao Wu stood in front of Qiao Bai, tilting its head and staring at Qiao Bai with its black beady eyes, as if it knew what Qiao Bai was laughing at.

Qiao Bai coughed twice.

cough cough.

Little Wu isn't trying to become a spirit; it's already become one.

It is the most understanding animal when it wants to be.

Xiao Wu: Look me in the eyes and tell me what you're thinking!

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai pushed Xiao Wu's head away with one finger, his expression serious: "Could you go out and see if anyone's coming?"

"Please, Little Wu."

Little Crow: "!"

The Beast Tamer is begging me!

Little Wu instantly forgot what had just happened, flapped its wings, and flew towards the door.

Before Little Crow could fly out, a series of loud noises came from outside the door.

"Qiao Bai—?" Li Gan shouted at the top of his lungs as he pushed open the door of the service station.

Because they came in so suddenly.

Neither Li Gan nor Xiao Wu had any idea what was happening.

Little Crow flapped its wings, trying to brake suddenly, but having only recently learned to fly, it crashed into Li Gan's face.

"Holy crap!" Li Gan was startled when a dark, black thing was shoved in his face as soon as he entered the room.

He reached out to grab Little Crow.

Little Wu struggled even more violently!

The scene became extremely chaotic.

Qiao Bai wanted to intervene, but he didn't even know where to begin.

After a period of chaos and turmoil.

Xiao Wu and Li Gan finally separated.

Qiao Bai held the frightened little crow in his palm, fed it sweet honey water, and comforted it.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Li Gan didn't do it on purpose." Qiao Bai said gently, and the ruffled little bird smoothed its feathers little by little.

Li Gan, sitting on a chair with messy hair and several tiny scratches on his face, watched this scene while holding a cup and couldn't help but make a funny face with a toothache.

"I'm not saying this to you, but are you raising a pet or a wife?!" Li Gan said, making "hissing" sounds as he spoke.

"I'm raising a daughter."

Qiao Bai rolled her eyes at him impolitely: "Besides, how heavy are those little black claws? Who are you playing?"

Li Gan: "Bullshit! Look at my handsome, dashing, and imposing face, it's almost disfigured from all this scratching!"

"Enough with the nonsense, let's talk about what's going on with my big fat grandson." Qiao Bai had calmed Xiao Wu down enough, and without arguing with Li Gan, he went straight to the point.

When Li Gan is rambling on and on, he spouts a lot of nonsense, but when it comes to serious matters, he suddenly stops talking.

"Um... well... I mean..." Li Gan stammered, his eyes darting around, avoiding eye contact with Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai fell silent.

She watched him quietly.

Xiao Wu followed Qiao Bai's gaze and stared at Li Gan with his big black eyes.

Li Gan's forehead was covered in even more sweat: "This is a long story, how about we just jump..."

"Either you get to the point, or you explain the whole story clearly."

Seeing that he couldn't fool anyone, Li Gan quietly and hesitantly recounted everything that had happened.

"Xiao Qi was doing great before. He cooperated well with my training and had no problem when I took him out for adventures. He was a spirited young man who was full of energy every day."

"But ever since I brought it back from the forbidden land a month and a half ago, Xiao Qi has changed."

I've lost my appetite.

I can't fall asleep.

I lack motivation to train.

They just give up in the match.

His energy and spirit declined rapidly, which was visible to the naked eye.

"Didn't you go to the service station to check?" Qiao Bai frowned.

"I went," Li Gan said. "How could I not have gone? But it wouldn't have made a difference!"

At this point, Li Gan angrily slapped his thigh.

"I went to more than one service station, and they all told me that Xiaoqi wasn't sick at all; she couldn't be healthier!"

However, it is also true that Xiaoqi the dragon lizard's condition has not improved at all.

Li Gan became increasingly angry as he spoke: "The last service station I went to actually accused me of abusing Xiao Qi, not feeding her, and then they reported me!"

"Am I abusing Xiaoqi? I only took it to the vet because it couldn't eat or sleep!"

Li Gan, a tough man, shed tears.

difficult.

He's having such a tough time!

"I've completely lost face, but the problem is that Xiao Qi's condition is still not resolved." Li Gan's smile had vanished completely. "She only eats so little each day. For the next month or two, Xiao Qi's physical condition can barely hold on, but if this continues..."

Even if Xiaoqi were a dragon lizard, she couldn't withstand it.

Qiao Bai found it increasingly strange.

What exactly happened here?

"Could you let me see Xiao Qi?"

Li Gan nodded.

He came to see if Qiao Bai had any solutions, but if even Qiao Bai couldn't do anything... Li Gan didn't know what to do either!

A dragon lizard, over a meter long and somewhat resembling a dragon from Eastern mythology, appeared before Qiao Bai.

Before Qiao Bai could be shocked by the dragon lizard's appearance.

He saw it—

Pet: Dragon Lizard

[Type: Intermediate to High-Level Extraordinary]

[Level: Intermediate Tier 3]
