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

Chapter 59 Card Drawing? Another one and I'm... a total loser! [10,000 words, please subscribe]

"Okay!" Li Gan readily agreed.

Xiao Qi's situation has been resolved, and Xiao Qi seems to have regained her fighting spirit.

Li Gan was happy.

He needs a fierce battle to prove that Xiaoqi has returned to his best form!

Li Gan's eyes lit up: "Just you wait and see!"

"Once our Xiaoqi really gets going, Xiaowu is no match for it!"

"Is that so?" Qiao Bai nodded, seemingly not taking his words to heart.

Qiao Bai looked at Xiao Wu and said gently, "Did you hear that, Xiao Wu? You'd better work harder to teach this guy a lesson."

Xiao Wu: A look of approval.jpg

Xiao Wu's eyes changed as he looked at the dragon lizard crawling on the ground.

I was only slightly serious before, but now I'm extremely serious, treating the dragon lizard as its true opponent!

The dragon lizard's brain was telling it to defend itself against the little bird.

But the moment their eyes met, the lizard was so chilled that it instinctively turned its head away, unable to meet Xiao Wu's gaze directly.

Clusters of water droplets exploded on the dragon lizard's scales, and the fine scales loosened amidst the dense explosions. White, cloud-like gas seeped into the flesh beneath the scales, and muffled cracking sounds rang out again.

Spots of red liquid oozed from the dragon lizard's body.

Li Gan took a deep breath.

He confirmed that this was indeed the damage effect brought about by the dragon lizard's skill, "Swallowing Clouds and Spitting Mist."

Whether it's trapping the dragon lizard, or the first wave of exploding water and the second wave of exploding white clouds, these are all effects brought about by skills.

Skills that combine control effects and secondary damage are not something every pet can learn.

Although he couldn't figure out how Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu had done it, he knew that now was not the time to dwell on that.

Commanding the dragon lizard to fight back is what he should be doing now!

"Little Seven, use Dragon Shout!"

The dragon lizard, which had been lying prone on the ground just a second ago, suddenly raised its head into the air the moment its restraints were released and its intimidation dissipated: "Roar—!"

The enormous sound rippled through the air like waves, one after another.

While intimidating the opponent, it can also attack the opponent with sound waves!

The little black bird's round body was caught off guard by the sonic force and tumbled several times in mid-air. It flapped its wings frantically and barely managed to steady itself.

Little Wu: [○｀Д○]!

What does it mean to be "not very harmful, but extremely insulting"?

That's exactly the effect we're seeing right now!

This attack did not cause any actual damage to Xiao Wu.

However, it caused irreversible damage to Xiao Wu's dignity and mental well-being!

Xiao Wu: I'm furious! Extremely furious!

Little Wu stared intently at the dragon lizard with its dark, beady eyes.

The simple-minded dragon lizard, completely unable to understand what the cross-species little bird was trying to say, tilted its head at the little bird and then let out a roar!

What are you looking at!

Bad bird!

Xiao Wu: ###!

Cough!

Li Gan couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Qiao Bai glared at Li Gan: "Little Wu, use your peck."

"Pfft—" Li Gan laughed even louder.

He slapped his thigh, amusement on his face, and said, "It's not that I want to laugh, but you're letting Little Wu peck at my dragon lizard? Aren't you afraid that before my Little Seven even gets hurt, Little Wu's mouth will be on fire first?"

Qiao Bai sighed: "I was just about to ask, what's going on in your head all day long?"

Under Li Gan's puzzled gaze, Qiao Bai watched as the little black bird rushed towards the dragon lizard before slowly adding a sentence.

"In terms of strength, both my Xiao Wu and your Xiao Qi are mid-level Tier 3. You're just judging Xiao Wu's defense based on its size alone. Isn't that a bit too overconfident?"

When Li Gan returned, he looked incredulous.

Li Gan: "?"

Li Gan suddenly tossed his head like a sunflower, staring with his big eyes: "Are you kidding me?"

"Guess," Qiao Bai calmly replied with two words.

Li Gan: ...See if I dare to guess.

Li Gan was truly shocked by Qiao Bai's words.

Qiao Bai has only been in a contract with Xiao Wu for a short time, and Xiao Wu's strength has already reached the middle level of the third tier?

Although breaking through to the fifth rank is the most difficult for extraordinary beings.

However, this does not mean that it is easy to improve one's strength before the fifth rank.

It took Li Gan more than half a year of contracting with the dragon lizard, along with the assistance of various resources, to upgrade it to the intermediate level of the third tier.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the dragon lizard's highest level during the senior year graduation battle will only be advanced level three. Breaking through to level four will require some luck.

Let's look at Xiao Wu's strength.

Several huge question marks had already appeared above Li Gan's head.

No?

What happened to the prediction that Little Crow's mutation was not going well?

Why did your strength increase so quickly?

The Hua bird's rank is not low either!

The higher the rank of a supernatural being, the more difficult it becomes to improve its strength.

This is why Li Gan had so much confidence in the dragon lizard.

A high-quality pet, with considerable strength, a powerful physique, and natural bloodline.

It would be almost impossible for an ordinary, low-level bird to inflict effective damage on such a dragon lizard.

However, after listening to Qiao Bai's words, Li Gan began to waver in his opinion.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi are at the same level in terms of strength!

Furthermore, Xiao Wu possesses a kingly aura that is impossible for him to learn!

Li Gan's eyes were filled with despair.

Li Gan wanted to slap himself twice.

But Li Gan knew that he should quickly command the dragon lizards to fight back.

at last.

Li Gan dared not underestimate Xiao Wu any longer. His gaze towards Xiao Wu was filled with unprecedented seriousness: "Dragon Lizard, flip over! Shoot it down from the sky!"

The little bird flapped its wings and flew back and forth on the dragon lizard's back, its pale yellow beak attacking the dragon lizard's still unhealed wounds!

The flesh in the wound was pulled again, and the dragon lizard's face revealed an extremely ferocious expression.

As soon as Li Gan finished speaking, the dragon lizard began to roll wildly on the ground, and clouds of dust obscured the figures of the dragon lizard and Xiao Wu.

This made it impossible for Qiao Bai to see what was inside.

"Nice!" Li Gan clenched his fist and swung it around a few times in the air. "Use slapping!"

clap clap-

It was the sound of a thick tail slapping against the ground.

"Use the Heart of Protection," Qiao Bai said calmly.

Last time, he wasn't quick enough and forgot that Xiao Wu had a protective skill, so he accidentally lost the game.

Afterwards, Qiao Bai repeatedly replayed the battle in his mind.

Qiao Bai now.

He's no longer the Qiao Bai he used to be!

He will absolutely not make the same basic mistake again!

With a "whoosh"—

A circular shield, shimmering with a faint golden light, completely enveloped Xiao Wu's body!

The dragon lizard's slaps couldn't cause the slightest harm to the little bird.

Conversely... "Little Crow, use King's Aura again, then continue with the peck."

The combat is not turn-based.

Skills aren't acquired one after another.

As long as the beast tamer and the beast have enough chemistry, the two skills can be linked together very smoothly.

A powerful, suffocating aura suddenly erupted!

The dragon lizard's body and brain started fighting each other again, refusing to obey commands.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Wu lowered its body and began to peck fiercely at the wounds on the dragon lizard's body!

Intense pain and continuous blood loss, coupled with a powerful aura that firmly suppressed the dragon lizard's body.

The dragon lizard's eyes rolled back and it fainted.

"Xiao Wu, come back." Qiao Bai immediately stopped Xiao Wu's actions.

The dragon lizard has already lost its ability to fight, so there's no need to further desecrate it; that would be utterly disrespectful.

Little Wu stopped, jumped twice on the mane of the dragon lizard's head, and then flapped its wings and flew to Qiao Bai's shoulder.

Li Gan strode forward: "Little Seven?!"

After a careful examination, he discovered that the dragon lizard's injuries were not as serious as he had imagined; most of them were caused by the dragon lizard's own skill, Cloud Breathing.

Xiao Wu's attacks are all secondary damage inflicted on the original wounds.

Li Gan: "..."

My feelings are complicated.

Qiao Bai stroked Xiao Wu, who stood proudly on his shoulder like a victorious general, and couldn't help but smile.

"Well done, Xiao Wu." Qiao Bai patted the little tuft of hair on Xiao Wu's head and praised him with a smile.

Little Wu raised his head even higher.

At the same time, she gave Qiao Bai a look: Don't touch it like that, you'll mess up your fur!

However, as soon as Qiao Bai withdrew his hand, Xiao Wu very proactively rubbed against him again.

Xiao Wu: \(^o^)/

Happy!

Won!

Beast Tamer, look how awesome I am!

Little Wu stared at Qiao Bai with its bright, beady eyes, looking like it wanted to be touched and praised.

"Impressive, impressive." Qiao Bai chuckled, "But we still need to offer some consolation to your opponent."

Little Wu's beady eyes darted around twice.

Comforting the opponent?

Why?

Qiao Bai led Xiao Wu to Li Gan's side: "Take Xiao Qi inside. The service station can treat her injuries, and she'll recover quickly."

Fighting at the service station entrance offers no other advantages, except that regardless of who loses, treatment is extremely convenient.

Little Wu didn't need treatment; it just stood on Qiao Bai's shoulder, watching Li Gan struggle to lift the dragon lizard off the ground.

"Your arm strength..." Qiao Bai looked at Li Gan, whose arm muscles were bulging, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Tsk tsk.

Li Gan has really built up his physical strength.

Li Gan gave a strained smile: "What can I do? Xiao Qi likes to be held in my arms, but I can't make Xiao Qi not eat to lose weight, that's not good for Xiao Qi's growth... I can only make myself suffer."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai showed a curious expression.

"May I ask about Xiao Qi's weight...?"

"It weighs 92 jin now."

Will it go up further?

"Of course." Li Gan's expression gradually turned gloomy. As he followed Qiao Bai towards the equipment room, he couldn't help but worry: "If this trend continues, I'm already starting to get headaches. What will I do when I can no longer carry Xiao Qi...?"

"What if Xiaoqi starts to doubt my love for it...?"

In the end, Li Gan let out a long sigh.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai glanced at the dragon lizard, thinking about the dragon lizard's inner thoughts... well, let's just say it's hard to believe.

You know what?

If it were applied to a dragon lizard... Li Gan's guess wasn't entirely without merit.

Qiao Bai patted Li Gan on the shoulder: "Keep it up, and pay close attention to my grandson's mental state."

Place the dragon lizard into the treatment device.

Qiao Bai disguised the information he saw using his innate skill as something he had observed and investigated, and simply told Li Gan about it.

"...That's roughly what happened. Little Seven was probably tricked by...someone or some supernatural being, which is why it behaved so strangely."

"Once Xiaoqi wakes up, comfort her properly and have a heart-to-heart talk between the beast tamer and the pet. The problem will be solved."

Li Gan nodded repeatedly, without doubting Qiao Bai's words at all.

There must be a reason why Qiao Bai said that!

His eldest son would never lie to him!

As for how Qiao Bai figured it out... does it really matter?

Li Gan: It doesn't matter at all!

Perhaps his eldest son is one of those rare geniuses who has a special connection with extraordinary beings, a once-in-a-century occurrence!

Li Gan successfully convinced himself with his own logic.

Qiao Bai laughed too.

It was a lucky thing for him to be able to become friends with someone like Li Gan, and to be like father and son to each other.

"I am deeply grateful!" Seeing that all the injuries on the dragon lizard had healed, Li Gan touched the still unconscious dragon lizard and put it into the beast-taming space in his spiritual sea.

He waved to Qiao Bai and said, "I'm going home to deal with my communication issues with Xiao Qi. Once this is settled, Dad will treat you to a big meal when school starts in a few days!"

……

In the afternoon, Qiao Bai received a voice message from Li Gan filled with gratitude.

The little problem with the dragon lizard has been completely resolved.

Li Gan was overjoyed and wept.

It's not just about having a pet partner after school starts.

Having spent almost a year with the dragon lizard, Li Gan has developed a fondness for it.

Given that the dragon lizard's problems could be cured, Li Gan didn't want to apply for pet separation procedures with the Alliance and abandon the dragon lizard to choose other pets.

This is harmful to both the beast tamer and the beast that have feelings for each other.

Fortunately, I don't need to think about these things anymore!

Li Gan wished he could take care of all of Qiao Bai's meals as soon as school started!

Adding a small bird wouldn't be a big problem!

[Qiao Bai: Just treat me to a couple more good meals. There are only four days left before school starts, so you need to pay close attention to Xiao Qi's mental state. And don't forget to do your homework.]

[Li Gan: Homework? Holy crap—!]

well.

Li Gan completely forgot that he still had homework to do.

Faced with Li Gan's wailing and "Let me copy this," Qiao Bai decisively closed the chat interface and chose to ignore it.

What?

What do you need to borrow?

He didn't see anything.

After get off work.

On his way home, Qiao Bai casually bought two cold dishes and cooked some rice to make do with a meal.

We've almost finished eating.

Qiao Bai's expression gradually became serious.

Little Wu: "?"

Qiao Bai first gave Xiao Wu a delicate warm bath, using bird-specific pet shampoo several times, almost washing Xiao Wu from pure black to white.

Then Qiao Bai spent another half hour thoroughly washing himself.

After tidying it up neatly.

Qiao Bai sat on the edge of the bed, his expression serious as he activated his skill.

It's time for a very serious gacha draw!

Three days have passed since the academic conference he led ended.

The public awareness of "Fox Queen" has increased from 0 to 21700 points.

Not many.

Only 2170 people have learned about [Fire Fox Queen].

The resulting awareness is barely enough for four single pulls, let alone ten consecutive pulls.

Can this trigger a skill?

but--

The public's awareness of "Fairy Butterfly" has already risen to an alarming level!

Because of the unique characteristic that honey beetles can be kept by ordinary people, nearly 5000 people learned about them in just two days.

As time goes on, the growth rate is getting faster and faster.

As more and more people get to know [Fairy Butterfly] through discussions among colleagues, friends, relatives, and classmates, the number of people who recognize it will only increase.

Nearly a month later, the public awareness of [Fairy Butterfly] has reached an astonishing 27 million!

In other words, more than two million people have gained a genuine and in-depth understanding of the characteristics and evolutionary process of the Fairy Butterfly.

The growth of this number has not stopped.

The Fairy Butterfly's current public recognition, when converted into a skill draw, is roughly equivalent to 5400 draws.

It has a high level of public awareness.

Qiao Bai would be even happier if all 5400 draws could be used in the [Fire Fox Queen] gacha pool.

Fortunately, although you can't exchange all your cards for the [Fire Fox Queen] card pool, you can exchange a general draw opportunity for the [Fire Fox Queen] card pool after you've emptied your ten-pull.

"I did a 10-pull before, and I got nothing seven times. If I calculate it... I can probably get about 300 general draw chances if I use up all 5400 draws."

After calculating the number, Qiao Bai couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

More than 300 draws.

It sounds alright.

Thinking about it carefully, it boils down to one word—a trap.

Too pit!

No matter how much of a rip-off it is, you still have to try your luck at drawing lots.

First, draw from the [Fairy Butterfly] gacha pool.

Lin Weiwei's fairy butterfly currently has four skills, among which Xiao Wu has successfully learned [Guardian Heart].

You're guaranteed to get one skill every 30 draws.

After a mere hundred draws, Qiao Bai successfully obtained all four of Fairy Butterfly's existing skills.

Qiao Bai silently typed a question mark.

"No? I still have 5300 draws left. Do you want me to draw duplicate skills or..." Qiao Bai hesitated for a moment before drawing, but what was coming was coming, and there was no escaping it.

Qiao Bai continued to recklessly draw cards.

One ten-pull, two ten-pulls... a hundred ten-pulls... In the end, Qiao Bai really wanted to ask his talent skill if he could just get a hundred consecutive draws.

Otherwise, there would be too much!

I can't finish them all!

There's simply not enough to finish them all!

Doing 540 ten-pulls is quite tiring.

As the draws progressed, Qiao Bai didn't even care what he drew; he just mechanically continued drawing.

"...I swear, I'll never play gacha games again!"

After drawing all 5400 times.

Qiao Bai collapsed onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

It's all gone. It's all gone.

Finally, everything was emptied.

Not a single drop was left.

Qiao Bai felt he needed to recover and adjust to the emptiness after excessive card drawing before he could get back into the fight.

Hearing Qiao Bai fall down with a "thud," Xiao Wu approached him with concern and gently rubbed his face with its soft feathers.

Her small, black eyes looked at Qiao Bai with concern.

"It's okay, I'll just lie down for a while." Qiao Bai turned her face to the side and pressed her cheek against Xiao Wu's.

He reached out... no, his hand was still cramping slightly.

The answer is that I've drawn too many gacha pulls and don't want to use my hands for work again anytime soon.

Little Crow's eyes were complicated, as if it was thinking about something, but it still stayed obediently by Qiao Bai's side, occasionally patting Qiao Bai with its feathers and making some small movements.

Until the bright moonlight shone in through the wide-open window.

Qiao Bai then did a somersault, straightened up, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to study the results of the 5400 draws.

The words for the four skills, Sweet Nectar, Guardian Heart, Wind Blade, and Fairy Flash, shimmered with a dazzling golden light in Qiao Bai's eyes.

I just clicked on one at random.

【Sweet Nectar (MAX): Automatically gains the highest proficiency level in Sweet Nectar after learning.

Highest proficiency level?

Qiao Bai's eyes lit up, but before he could get excited, they gradually dimmed again.

"Damn it..." Qiao Bai swallowed back the swear words he was about to utter.

"It took me nearly 180 pulls to get these four skills to the highest gold level. If it were the Fire Fox Queen's fire attribute skills, how many pulls would I have to use?"

On average, it takes more than 40 attempts to get a skill to gold... Does he really have a chance to directly upgrade his fire attribute skills to gold as well?

Qiao Bai gave up thinking.

He turned his head to continue looking at what else he had drawn besides the skills.

The warehouse was crammed full of four large pages of various props.

The most common item is naturally the [white item].

[A book (white item): "The Evolutionary History and Breeding Guide of Foxes" will increase your understanding of the extraordinary creature foxes, allowing you to better breed and train your pet.]

[A book (white item): "Dragon Lizard Care Manual". Reading this book will increase your understanding of dragon lizards, allowing you to better breed and train your pet.]

[A book (white item): "The Comprehensive Guide to Centipede Cultivation" will increase your understanding of centipede vines, allowing you to better breed and train your pets.]

[A cat treat (white item): It has little energy, but it's a delicious treat that cat- and dog-type supernatural beings can't resist. Eating it might increase their affection for you, or they might want to try your taste.]

【Fresh Fruit (White Item): It has little energy, but it's a delicious treat that neither vegetarian nor omnivorous superhumans can resist. After eating it, they probably won't want to try your taste, but it also probably won't increase their goodwill towards you much.】

[A handful of sunflower seeds (white item): They don't have much energy, but they have a flavor that some extraordinary creatures like small birds and hamsters might like?]

[A handful of nuts (white prop): They don't have much energy, but they taste amazing. Eating them is like opening a blind box of nuts. Extraordinary creatures who like nuts can give them a try.]

……

……

……

Qiao Bai glanced over and was dumbfounded.

You won't know until you try it, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

So, besides skills, there are so many other strange things in the gacha pool?

Qiao Bai clicked his tongue in amazement.

Qiao Bai's hands were itching to touch the items, especially the several white ones, which piqued his interest.

Although the detailed description stated that it was fun and interesting to be around, but not very useful, Qiao Bai was still very interested in it.

I thought about it.

He redeemed a white item called "Fresh Fruit," and a fresh, large orange appeared in front of Qiao Bai.

The little dog was startled by the sudden appearance of a giant orange that was several times its own size!

Little Wu: (ΩДΩ)!

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's not scary." Qiao Bai stroked the little bird's feathers, then picked up the big orange.

A sour and bitter smell wafted towards me, like the smell of branches just picked from a tree.

Once you peel the orange peel...

It emitted an irresistible aroma that made both humans and birds drool.

Xiao Wu: (﹃)

Qiao Bai: "Swoosh—"

It's not that they're greedy!

Really!

This orange smells absolutely amazing!

"...Can birds eat oranges?" Qiao Bai hesitated for two seconds, looking at the little bird drooling.

Speaking of which, can we eat baby blackfish?

If Little Wu can't eat it, then this big orange will just be...

Xiaowu: (へ╬)!

The little bird flapped its wings and was about to rush over and bite the big orange!

Qiao Bai quickly stopped Xiao Wu with his hand: "I was just talking nonsense. I was just naturally worried about your safety. I didn't mean to withhold food from you."

"Really, Xiao Wu, believe me." Qiao Bai looked at Xiao Wu with sincere eyes.

As she spoke, she quickly broke open an orange and stuffed a small piece into Xiao Wu's mouth.

Instantly, Xiao Wu squinted its eyes and lay down on Qiao Bai's shoulder.

good to eat!

Then another small piece was stuffed into Xiao Wu's mouth.

Little Wu: So delicious!

The contented little crow noticed that Qiao Bai had been feeding it the whole time, while it hadn't eaten a single bite itself.

Just as Xiao Wu was about to argue with Qiao Bai, Dou Dou's eyes revealed a hint of guilt.

oops~

It misunderstood the beast tamer!

The Beastmaster clearly loves it!

It's what's causing the beast tamer's worry!

Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed.

Just as Qiao Bai was about to give it the next piece of fruit that was just the right size, the little bird spread its wings and nudged Qiao Bai's hand.

Little Crow: Eat, even beast tamers eat!

Qiao Bai smiled and said, "Okay, you have this bite, then it's my turn next."

The little bird opened its tender yellow beak, swallowed it whole, and looked quite pleased with itself.

Then, watching as Qiao Bai also broke off a segment of orange and ate it, he finally took another bite.

Little Wu: The Beastmaster really loves me so much!

After the man and the bird finished eating the large orange together, Qiao Bai continued reading.

【Cozy Nest (Blue Item): A warm nest that can be adjusted to fit the size of a superhuman creature. Sleeping in it will make the superhuman creature feel happy and warm.】

[Pet Toys (Blue Items): These can help your pet relax and bring them joy and happiness during play.]

[A bag of cookies (blue item): Small cookies with a slightly special effect. Each cookie has a different positive or negative buff that lasts for three minutes. The effect is not significant regardless of whether it is good or bad.]

[One Super Deluxe Cat Stick (Blue Item): Infused with special energy, an irresistible treat for cats and dogs! Even the fiercest cats and dogs will turn into soft, cuddly little cuties after eating it, with effects lasting five minutes.]

[A bird feather cleaning tool set (blue item): Comfortable care will give these extraordinary birds a special experience and a good mood!]

[A set of scale cleaning tools (blue item): What extraordinary scaly creature could resist a sparkling cleaning process? The meticulous care will surely lift your spirits.]

……

……

Compared to the white props, there are far fewer blue props, only about two hundred.

Many of them are duplicates.

A small portion of them are upgraded versions of the white props.

I wouldn't call it disappointment.

Qiao Bai turned his attention to the purple prop.

As the man who got a purple item in his first ten-pull, Qiao Bai always thought that purple items weren't that precious.

Until this moment—

5400 draws.

27 purple items.

This finally allowed Qiao Bai to directly experience the preciousness of the purple props.

【Lucky Four-Leaf Clover (Purple Item): When carried, it grants a lucky buff for a period of time (the effect is halved when given to others)】

[Advanced Shield (Purple Item): When carried, it grants immunity to attacks from supernatural creatures below Tier 6 in a single hit (can be gifted)]

【Advanced Disguise Potion (Purple Item): Allows you to impersonate another person for 24 hours after use (cannot be gifted)】

【Advanced Disguise Component (Purple Item): A pair of red demon horns. When worn by a supernatural being, they emit the aura of a high-level demonic supernatural being, and there is absolutely no possibility of them being exposed for 2 hours (cannot be gifted)】

[A book (purple item): "The Complete Herbal Compendium," which provides a profound understanding of all herbs and is a valuable and rare book.]

……

……

Each item was strange and unusual, and all of them greatly interested Qiao Bai.

did not expect.

I really didn't expect that.

There are so many interesting things in the pool.

Unfortunately, most of the items you draw are white items. Blue items are okay, but purple items are really rare.

As for the highest-level gold items...

Qiao Bai drew one.

But after looking at the features, Qiao Bai didn't know whether they would be useful or useless to him.

[Potion to Remove All Negative Status Effects (Gold Item): After consumption, it can remove any existing negative status effects (including but not limited to poisoning, burns, frostbite, genetic collapse, mental disorder, etc.), and will automatically repair all negative status effects after consumption.]

Qiao Bai touched his chin.

Poisoning, burns, and frostbite are all types of negative physical conditions that can be treated with existing equipment.

If this potion can only treat these aspects, Qiao Bai feels it doesn't deserve the title of a golden item.

But then there's the subsequent genetic breakdown, mental disorder, and so on...

This potion suddenly became incredibly powerful.

Even though the world's medical technology has advanced to a level that Qiao Bai finds astounding.

However, some challenges still exist that are troubling researchers in the field of medical devices.

Genes, spirit, cells... and so on.

A divine realm that no human can decipher.

If one day humanity can easily solve these problems, it won't be long before we fly out of Earth and into the solar system.

However, the product is good.

Qiao Bai, however, hoped that there would never be a day when he would need to use it.

I stretched.

Everything is stored somewhere, so it can't run away. There are so many white items that you don't feel bad using them.

Qiao Bai decided to read through all the books inside when he had time.

Now that he has decided to pursue a career in pet evolution research, he needs to read and learn more about this field.

Without relying on innate skills, one must be able to have a thorough understanding of the state of extraordinary beings.

"Then there are 378 draws left... If there's a pity system with 30 draws, I can probably get 12 skills."

Besides the existing [King's Aura], there are six fire attribute skills. If you're lucky, you can draw them all twice.

Even if you can't reach the maximum proficiency level for each skill.

Even after learning this, you're not considered a complete beginner.

And if you practice all six skills to the point of mastery... mastering fire attribute skills should be enough, right?

Qiao Bai's eyes sparkled.

smoke!

We must keep smoking!

It's impossible for Xiao Wu to learn all six skills at once; he needs time to digest and connect them.

But this doesn't stop Qiao Bai from drawing all the skills first.

With 378 pulls plus the original 4 pulls from the gacha pool, Qiao Bai did 38 ten-pulls.

Just as he expected.

I drew all six fire-attribute skills twice.

There are absolutely no gold or purple items.

More than a dozen white props appeared.

Qiao Bai was barely satisfied.

Qiao Bai glanced at Xiao Wu, who was almost asleep from waiting, and decided to teach it the skills tomorrow.

Let Xiao Wu get some rest tonight!

And he was also very sleepy.

Qiao Bai shook the blankets and lay down on the bed.

I had a good night's sleep... but I didn't.

All night long, Qiao Bai dreamed that he was drawing cards, drawing cards, and drawing cards again.

Empty space in the card pool.

There is no guaranteed minimum return.

There's no gold being released at all.

A triple nightmare.

When Qiao Bai woke up in the morning, he still had two huge dark circles under his eyes.

Yang Sanmu was almost startled when he went to work.

"...What did you do last night?"

Yang Sanmu, who didn't think he had any disagreements with Qiao Bai and couldn't refuse any gossip he couldn't share, asked curiously for the first time.

Qiao Bai: "I had nightmares all night."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Yang Sanmu's eyes lit up, clearly not believing a word of it, with a strange, cringe-worthy smile on his face.

Qiao Bai pretended not to see it.

What is Yang Sanmu thinking about?

This innocent high school boy knew nothing about it and didn't want to know.

Until the midday sun is high in the sky.

Qiao Bai was almost scorched by the sun before he finally broke free from the mental exhaustion brought on by the nightmare.

Qiao Bai waved to the little bird that was hopping and skipping around.

Little Wu: "?"

Little Wu hopped over to Qiao Bai's side, its black beady eyes sending a questioning signal to him.

"I'll be starting school in less than three days. We'll go to the breeding center again then to get vaccinated and collect your food for the rest of the year. We're almost out of food at home."

Qiao Bai sat up straight.

"And then... do you still want to become stronger?"

Little Crow: "!"

miss you!

Little Wu's eyes are so bright they practically glow!

Upon hearing the familiar question, Xiao Wu excitedly spread its wings high and raised them, its eager eyes fixed on Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai opened the system.

From the six fire-attribute skills, [Fireball] and [Smoke Screen] were chosen as the first two fire-attribute skills that Xiao Wu learned.

The main reason is that these two fire-attribute skills are relatively easy to learn.

Even if it weren't for the fact that Xiao Wu, who isn't a fire-attribute character, learned and used it, no one else would be surprised.

In particular, the [Smoke Screen] skill is a practical and simple skill that many beast tamers will have their pets learn.

The remaining fire-attribute skills can be learned after Xiao Wu has mastered these two skills. Just tell others that Xiao Wu has a talent for learning fire-attribute skills, so as not to attract too much attention.

The two skills were quickly integrated into Xiao Wu's body.

As usual, Xiao Wu felt nothing at all.

If Qiao Bai hadn't used his innate skill to check, he wouldn't have been able to tell that Xiao Wu had already learned two fire attribute skills.

"Smoke screens aren't very convenient, but we could try fireballs," Qiao Bai said, pointing to a small tree not far away.

Yanglin Village has few other things, but it has the most trees.

"Use fireball."

The little bird opened its tender yellow beak, and a fireball the size of a fist shot out from its mouth!

One after another, they landed precisely on the sapling.

The powerful firepower burned the sapling into a charred charcoal stick in less than thirty seconds.

Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu were both stunned for a moment.

no……?

Little U's fireball looks a bit different from the fireball Little Fox used back then, doesn't it?

Qiao Bai stroked his chin, pondering, "Is this because the little fire fox evolved into the fire fox queen and its skills leveled up along with it, or is it because of Little U?"

"It could also be due to skill proficiency."

While I haven't reached mastery of the fireball skill yet, I'm quite familiar with it.

Due to insufficient sample size, Qiao Bai cannot be certain.

For now, I can only put this matter aside and keep it in mind.

After you've drawn more skills, comparing them will make it clear what's going on.

Overjoyed to discover that he had become stronger once again, Xiao Wu jumped onto Qiao Bai's palm and rubbed against it.

Comfortable!

Beastmasters are amazing!

It will protect beast tamers even better in the future!

Qiao Bai, naively believing that Xiao Wu was expressing happiness, laughed. Before deactivating his talent skill, he took out a white item—a fresh, large apple and a handful of sunflower seeds: "Want some?"

Xiao Wu's mind immediately went blank.

It jumped in front of Qiao Bai and opened its mouth wide.

eat!

You have to eat it!

No matter what happens, you have to wait until it finishes eating before you can think about it!

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Bai packed up his belongings at the service station and said goodbye to the place where he had worked for two months.

Seeing that Qiao Bai was about to leave, Yang Sanmu even saw him off.

"Keep it up! As long as you want it, you can definitely get into Qingniao University. I look forward to you becoming my junior in the future." Yang Sanmu sincerely wished Qiao Bai well.

Looking back on those prejudices, Yang Sanmu felt only shame for himself.

Yang Sanmu no longer dared to be prejudiced, but if he had the chance to become Qiao Bai's senior, he thought it would be pretty good!

Qiao Bai smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll consider it."

but……

Qiao Bai remembered what Sun Guoping and his wife and Qi Rong and his wife had said before, that he might be recommended for admission.

There has been no news for the past few days.

Qiao Bai thought about it and then put the matter aside.

do not care.

First, you have to register for school; there's no escaping it.

Travel light.

What Qiao Bai didn't expect was that he was surrounded by people as soon as he entered the school.

"Qiao Bai? That's Qiao Bai, isn't it!"

"Yes! That's him! It turns out that our new genius researcher in NY City is my alumnus!"

"It feels like our school has become incredibly awesome!"

"Who can argue with that!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

cough.

My vanity got a little thrill.
