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

Chapter 84 A Minor Conflict Between Little Crow and Cat Bug! Qiao Bai: Oh ho! I'm finally about to meet the legendary...

Xinlong?

It's probably not a common dragon.

Qiao Bai blurted out those words without thinking.

To Qiao Bai's surprise, Cat Bug's eyes lit up even more after hearing this.

Yes, yes, yes!

It's Longlong!

dragon!

well.

The cat-like insect's hearing has successfully evolved to the point where it can only receive keywords like "@%……&*#￥dragon".

Qiao Bai sighed and patted the cat's head.

Forget it.

My own child.

What else can we do but spoil them?

With Catbug's interruption, Little Wu also overlooked the Swift Spirit Cat next to him.

The Swift Spirit Cat quietly, stealthily hid behind Zhanmo, constantly signaling to its Beastmaster with its eyes—take the bird back before it notices!

Meow doesn't want to face this supernatural creature that she can't beat and that she's made an enemy of!

Pretending not to understand, Zhan Mo smiled and stroked the glossy fur of the Swift Spirit Cat.

On the other side, the security team captain, who was in charge of dealing with the unconscious man suspected of stealing the supernatural creature, was watching Qiao Bai interact with his pet with a speechless yet incredibly complex expression.

The big man now has no doubt that Qiao Bai is a terrorist.

What terrorist would be so naive!

Thinking about it, the big man's gaze toward the unconscious man on the ground who had not yet woken up gradually became serious.

"Tie him up first... If what they said earlier is true, he might have some abilities we don't know about." The big man waved his hand, and two people stepped forward and quickly tied up the unconscious man.

Because the little fox spirit used too much alluring fragrance, this person won't wake up for a while.

Take the person away first.

"You guys..." The big man looked at Qiao Bai and Zhan Mo again, frowning with a somewhat conflicted expression.

Before the identity of the unconscious man is fully confirmed, Qiao Bai and Zhan Mo are not entirely without suspicion.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan stepped forward.

"Brother Tiger, this is one of my bosses, Qiao Bai. You should have heard of him." Xu Xiaoyan winked at Brother Tiger.

"How would I know your boss...wait...Qiao Bai?" Tiger paused for a moment, "That name sounds familiar..."

As he spoke, Tiger suddenly seemed to remember something, and his finger pointing at Qiao Bai trembled: "Could it be that you are... that... the one from New Year's Eve..."

Qiao Bai: "..."

Also.

It hasn't even been a month since the New Year, and the program is still being rebroadcast from time to time, with his name being mentioned more than once.

Most people wouldn't subconsciously associate him with Qiao Bai, whom Professor Wu Qingshan thanked, but if specifically reminded, and given his current level of fame...

"Hehe!" Xu Xiaoyan winked and smiled, "It's that Qiao Bai, Brother Tiger, you can rest assured now!"

"If all else fails, I can exchange contact information with my boss, and then I can just contact him again if I have any problems."

Tiger's furrowed brows relaxed upon hearing this.

He waved his hand dismissively: "I have the trust in you to do this. Someone who receives such a high-ranking professor's special thanks can't be a bad person!"

The shadow of the tree, the name of the person.

Qiao Bai has experienced firsthand the convenience that reputation brings.

Although it's just a small corner, it's really useful when you use it.

"However, this one..." Tiger looked at James, "This person fainted mainly because of his little fox spirit."

As he spoke, Tiger glanced at the little fox spirit lying lazily in Zhan Mo's arms, swishing her tail, showing no sign of danger whatsoever.

Turning my head to look at the man who was tied up and didn't react at all... Hmm.

I'm afraid I'll be drained dry in my dreams.

Zhan Mo smiled and said, "I am Zhan Mo, a professor of pet research working in this city. You can find my identity on the Beast Taming Alliance. If you need any information from me later, you can contact me at any time."

Qiao Bai and Zhan Mo both revealed their identities.

Tiger Brother didn't say he completely trusted the two of them, but his level of suspicion was also reduced to the lowest possible level.

We'll see what happens after the man regains his senses.

"Alright, you two can go ahead then." Tiger nodded, not stopping them from leaving.

Qiao Bai then checked on the condition of the cat and the moon eagle cub again.

Fortunately.

The two pets looked a little dazed and confused. It was unclear what the person had done to them, but they seemed to be alright.

Despite the jealous looks from his two pets, Qiao Bai patted the two little guys on the head.

Although I don't know what that man wanted by taking the cat and the moon eagle cub, it couldn't be anything good. It's great that they were able to be rescued.

Qiao Bai was about to leave.

"Boss, are you here on business or for leisure?" Xu Xiaoyan quickly moved closer to Qiao Bai. "Maybe we can go back to Qingniao together tomorrow!"

Qiao Bai: "...School starts tomorrow, right?"

Are you going to stay here until the first day of school before going back?

As if sensing Qiao Bai's confusion, Xu Xiaoyan sighed, her large ears drooping, and said helplessly, "Sigh! I have no choice, it's just too hard to support myself by working!"

Considering that Xu Xiaoyan usually works like a hardworking dog at school, Qiao Bai was not surprised at all that Xu Xiaoyan would be working part-time here.

"I'm here for other things, and I probably won't be back for a day or two," Qiao Bai said.

His main goal is to collect specific data on the extraordinary creatures that evolved from rabbits and dogs, so that he can unlock the encyclopedia entries.

Although he has innate skills, he will be able to see the new evolutionary path of the rabbit-dog when he goes to James's lab tomorrow.

It's clear that "it has been observed" and "it has evolved" are two different concepts.

If the new evolutionary path for the rabbit dog is more complicated than that of the little fox or the little bird, with multiple processes and steps, even if the new evolutionary path is known, it will still take a lot of time to actually evolve.

In that case, Qiao Bai will need to stay in Wanyuan City for a while longer.

Xu Xiaoyan nodded.

"Alright, goodbye boss!"

"I'll send you a message, boss, once the detailed investigation results are out!"

After saying that, Xu Xiaoyan ran to Tiger's side and, with her fluffy big ears and her big tail wagging excitedly, she successfully blended into... the group of pets.

Qiao Bai: "...Ahem."

……

"I never expected that a visit to an amusement park would turn into such a little incident; it was truly unexpected."

After leaving the amusement park and removing the safety locks from his pets, Zhan Mo finally retrieved his two pets and said with a teasing smile.

"But it's quite interesting." James said with a bright smile.

Qiao Bai: "If possible, I hope there will be fewer of these kinds of things."

He really didn't want to become the kind of person who would inexplicably cause trouble wherever he went.

"Haha." Zhan Mo couldn't help but laugh, his golden hair shining brightly again.

He patted Qiao Bai on the shoulder and laughed, saying, "I had such a pleasant time with you today, Professor Qiao Bai. I'm increasingly looking forward to seeing your expertise in your field."

"The trip to the lab is scheduled for around 10:00 AM tomorrow, Professor Bai, is that alright with you?"

Qiao Bai nodded indifferently.

Even earlier wouldn't be out of the question.

However, he naturally wouldn't refuse to rest a little longer.

In this cold season, it takes a certain amount of courage to get out of bed or leave the warmth of indoors.

Qiao Bai returned to the hotel where he was temporarily staying at the agreed time.

Just as he had said before taking Qiao Bai out to play, the pet food and other miscellaneous items that Zhan Mo had ordered from the mall were placed on an automatic mechanical cart and parked in front of his door.

He opened the door, waved, and the trolley carried all the items into the room.

"Premium bird pet food, premium feline pet food, premium dragon pet food..." Qiao Bai flipped through the food piled up on the cart, and the portions were all very generous.

Even the dragon-related food that Qiao Bai mentioned earlier was included, enough for a whole month.

"The price isn't cheap, but it mainly depends on whether Xiao Wu and Maomaochong like to eat it." With that, Qiao Bai released Xiao Wu and Maomaochong and placed the three portions of food in front of them.

There was only one serving in front of Xiao Wu.

There are two portions of cat-and-insect food in front of you.

Xiaowu: (▼伀▼#)

Differential treatment!

The beast tamer is biased!

We agreed that I would love birds even more!

Little Wu didn't even have time to try the new food. He was so angry with the eagle that he turned into a round, chubby owl, with every feather on his body standing on end.

Catbug: Hehe~

"Chirp chirp!"

"Chirp!"

Hehehe~

Sorry, boss lady, but the dragon stole the Beastmaster's affections from you the moment it arrived...

Before the cat-like insect could finish speaking, it was brutally beaten by the little bird waving its two two-meter-long wings.

The cat-like insect covered its head and scurried around frantically.

However, Xiao Wu had already figured out the cat-worm's abilities and easily caught up with it, determined not to give it a chance to escape into the shadows.

Little Wu and Cat Bug were jumping around in the hotel room.

The air is filled with cat-like insects... Oh, cat-like insects only have scales and don't shed fur.

Qiao Bai shook his head with amusement, his eyes full of helplessness.

Sigh!

The way two pet animals get along at home is a common problem for every beast tamer.

Fortunately, the two little ones stopped running on their own after a while.

Little Wu once again demonstrated its status in this family with its strength.

Cat bug?

Keep being a good little brother to Big Sister Wu!

Qiao Bai's face showed a look of being both amused and exasperated.

However, he did not interfere in the relationship between Xiao Wu and the cat-like insect.

Unless things really escalate to an irreconcilable point, children should be allowed to resolve their own issues. Adults' meddling will only make their relationship more irreparable.

His phone rang; it was a message from Xu Xiaoyan. Qiao Bai turned around and looked down to check it.

Seeing that the beast tamer not only didn't help but also turned his back, pretending not to see anything, the cat-like insect almost burst into tears.

Catbug: I feel wronged, but I can't say it.

However, as soon as he looked down at the two portions of food in front of him, Catworm instantly perked up again.

(￣～￣)

snort!

It's okay if the boss scolds me!

It will transform its grief and indignation into its appetite!

Eat! Eat!

Eat! Eat!

Eat like crazy!

Catworm devoured the two portions of food in front of it in less than three minutes.

At this point, Xiao Wu, who was sitting next to him, had only eaten less than a third of the food, chewing slowly.

Little Wu: "?"

Cat Bug: ￣﹃￣

Hehehe~

The boss's food looks delicious... Could Dragon have a bite?

Just one bite!

As it was speaking, the cat-like insect took advantage of Xiao Wu's momentary lapse in attention and suddenly poked its round head out, plunging down and taking a huge bite. Instantly, half of the food in front of Xiao Wu was gone.

Xiaowu:o(▼伀▼メ;)o

I'll beat you up, you bastard!

Little Wu is about to unleash his ultimate attack after getting really angry!

"Calm down, calm down." Qiao Bai was sweating profusely when he saw this.

I was just saying that the two little ones have some sense of propriety.

Good guy.

Unexpectedly, the two little ones started fighting in the blink of an eye.

What's this called?

If possible, never let your pets out of your tamer's sight, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

After learning what had happened, Qiao Bai was both amused and annoyed, so he prepared another meal for Xiao Wu and placed it in front of Xiao Wu.

"Alright, alright, this time it was the little brother's fault. How about I have him apologize to Xiao Wu?" Qiao Bai stroked the little Wu's upturned ahoge.

Xiao Wu: ╭(╯^╰)╮

I'm still very angry!

I'm so angry!

Qiao Bai glanced at the cat-like insect that had become docile again, a deep sense of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

So now you know how to play the innocent?

Why were you being so cheeky just now?

Cat Bug: ￣ω￣

Don't ask.

Even the dragon isn't entirely sure!

It was as if some mysterious force had suddenly controlled it, and it couldn't help but pounce on it.

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Keep making things up, and see if I believe you."

There are many grooves but no openings.

Qiao Bai didn't know where to begin.

"You might as well say you're having a pig addiction, then I might believe you." Qiao Bai reached out and gently flicked the cat-like insect's forehead.

not heavy.

But the cat-like insect immediately felt aggrieved.

"Chirp chirp!"

"Chirp!"

Dragons are curious!

I want to try it!

The beast tamer is biased!

The cat-like insect is crying.

Seeing the whimpering cat-like insect, Little Wu also started to make a fuss.

It was its food that got eaten!

Why is the cat-like bug crying?

Qiao Bai had a headache, a terrible headache.

He sat cross-legged on the wooden floor, placing the two little ones on either side of him, one in each hand.

I stroked Little Crow's tuft of hair, then stroked Cat Bug's dragon horns, and pinched Cat Bug's nape.

"You can't do that." Qiao Bai's voice was gentle, as if afraid of scaring the two little ones at home, but his tone carried an undeniable seriousness.

"Whether it's Little Wu or Cat Dragon, they are my partners and my family."

"And you are family to each other."

Qiao Bai doesn't judge whether Xiao Wu and Maomaochong's actions are right or wrong; that's something they need to reflect on themselves. All Qiao Bai can do is tell them about the bond between them as much as possible.

If nothing unexpected happens.

For the next few years, ten years, or even decades, they will remain closely connected to him, the beast tamer.

Until Qiao Bai's death.

"Take today's incident for example." Qiao Bai pointed to the two horns on the cat-like insect's head.

"If you're not full, or if you want to try my food to see if it's good, you should come to me and let me open another package for you."

"Instead of lunging forward and eating half of your sister's food in one bite, tell me, were you doing this on purpose?"

Cat-like insect with airplane ears, and the expression on its face looked a little guilty.

There was a tiny bit of that intentional.

Just a tiny bit!

Who told the boss to bully Long today!

The dragon is just taking a tiny bit of revenge!

Cat Bug looked pitifully at Qiao Bai, then looked pitifully at Little Crow.

Qiao Bai remained silent.

Little Wu didn't even glance at the cat-like insect, turned around with the food in its mouth, and faced the cat-like insect with its rear end.

Catbug: QWO

I'm crying, I'm really going to cry!

"Since the cat bug did something wrong, we should punish it, right?" Qiao Bai looked at Xiao Wu's angry back with an amused expression, then cleared his throat and said in a serious tone.

Xiao Wu, who was eating gracefully, suddenly slowed down, as if listening to Qiao Bai's words.

Qiao Bai pretended not to see Xiao Wu's little tricks and continued speaking.

"Hmm... Since you stole your sister's food, then Cat Bug isn't allowed to eat anything for the next day, okay?"

Cat Bug: Tears welled up instantly.jpg

Not eating for a day?

No more life, no more life!

The dragon can't survive!

The cat-like insect burst into tears.

"Chirp...chirp chirp..."

Okay...okay...

However, Catworm still did not refute Qiao Bai's punishment.

"Chirp chirp... Chirp hoot..."

Yi Long takes responsibility for his actions... This time, it's Yi Long's fault...

Just as the cat-like insect lowered its head and wept, the little black bird turned around angrily, stopped eating, and strode confidently to Qiao Bai. With its wings spread wide and menacing, it slapped Qiao Bai and the cat-like insect on the left and right.

￣へ￣

snort!

All the birds are shot!

The bird isn't angry anymore!

After saying that, Xiao Wu quickly turned its head, pretending that nothing had happened, and continued to eat its food in big gulps.

A smile appeared on Qiao Bai's face.

Even the whimpering cat bug was stunned.

"Chirp...chirp?"

What does the boss mean by this...?

Xiao Wu looked up at Qiao Bai with her tear-filled, messy eyes, which were almost blurred with tears. Surprisingly, these eyes, which were hardly windows to the soul, accurately sent a signal of doubt to Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai roughly rubbed the cat-like insect's head and the two horns on it, and said in a voice that seemed very soft but that Xiao Wu could definitely hear, "What my sister means is that she's not angry anymore after hitting you, so she wants me to stop punishing you."

Catbug: "!"

Catbug looked at Little Crow and saw Little Crow's body suddenly stiffen.

CatCatBug: Overjoyed.jpg

One second those eyes looked like they'd been blurred by water, the next they became clear and sparkling.

"Chirp chirp!"

"Chirp!"

Boss, boss!

Stick it on!

Catbug suddenly pounced and slid hard towards Little Crow.

Little Wu was stuck to the cat-like bug, and it looked like it was disgusted and wanted to push the cat-like bug away, but in reality it didn't use any force at all.

Qiao Bai: Given the level difference between Xiao Wu and the cat bug, wouldn't it be an easy task for Xiao Wu to get rid of a sticky cat bug?

So is this disdain or a coy refusal...? Qiao Bai smiled as he watched the relationship between his two pet animals getting a little better.

Feeling great~

A wonderful day begins with family harmony.

Even when Xu Xiaoyan called Qiao Bai at night to tell him what had happened during the day, Qiao Bai wasn't very angry.

My mood was so good that I could feel it even through the phone.

"Boss, you seem to be in a really good mood! Did something good happen?" Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously on the other end of the phone.

"Let's get down to business. You messaged me this afternoon saying that person woke up?" Qiao Bai interrupted Xu Xiaoyan's question.

There's no way around it; when talking to Xu Xiaoyan, it's easy for her to miss the point. It's better for him to ask questions and for Xu Xiaoyan to answer them.

"What's with his ability?"

This is the issue that Qiao Bai is most concerned about.

How did they manage to make Jammer's Swiftcat suddenly start fighting with Ulquiorra?

How can a contracted beast tamer cause its pet to disobey the tamer's commands and instead seem to be controlled by him?

"Stop talking," Xu Xiaoyan said with a hint of sarcasm. "Boss, you have no idea how chaotic things got after that kid woke up... At least a third of our security team's pets were sealed off!"

Qiao Bai: "?"

It seems to have a story behind it.

"That's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's true that three or four pets were acting like they were drunk, ignoring their tamers' commands and fighting with the other normal pets around them."

"What's going on here?"

"To lay a hand on one's own brother? Even if it's a hastily formed brotherhood, that doesn't seem like a good idea... The situation would be incredibly chaotic and difficult to manage."

"Fortunately, we later discovered the key: that guy's talent was hypnosis."

No?

Hypnosis?

What is hypnosis?

Is this hypnosis legitimate?

A whole bunch of things that needed to be censored or not flashed through Qiao Bai's mind in an instant.

cough cough.

Clearing his mind, Qiao Bai asked, "Hypnosis... this ability must have limitations, otherwise Zhan Mo and I wouldn't have been able to catch him."

"There are limitations. First, hypnosis only works on supernatural beings. Second, supernatural beings with fierce personalities and strong vigilance cannot be easily hypnotized; it requires prolonged contact. Moreover, once hypnotized, the hypnotist cannot control the supernatural being; the supernatural being can only be made to see other people or supernatural beings around them as adversaries."

"Or it could put the supernatural creature into a state of lethargy, but these are all time-limited. The hypnotic effect of diverting his attack intentions lasts about ten minutes, while the hypnotic effect of the lethargic state lasts about half an hour."

"Then there are all sorts of rules and regulations... It's said that he himself isn't very clear on how to use them, and most of the time it depends on probability."

It's a skill that sounds complicated.

Moreover, it is not fully developed yet.

But if it is developed properly, it may yield unexpected results.

"What was he trying to do by using his abilities to put the cat demon and the moon eagle cub into a state of stun?" Qiao Bai asked another question.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan on the other end of the phone paused for a moment.

Qiao Bai thought she hadn't heard him clearly, so he asked again.

"Take it out and sell it."

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai had so many doubts that they could overwhelm him.

They possess such innate skills.

He also possesses the potential to become a beast tamer.

Why not do this kind of thing?

And it's very easy to get caught.

Stealing supernatural beings... well, the consequences are clearly stated in the criminal law.

Qiao Bai was skeptical: "You're not kidding me, are you?"

"I knew you wouldn't believe it, but that's really what that guy thought. We asked him several times." Xu Xiaoyan said in an extremely helpless tone, "Brother Tiger and the amusement park manager were so shocked that they couldn't speak."

"If you're short of money, as someone who has awakened the potential of a beast tamer, with just a little effort and the support and assistance of the country, there are countless ways to make money!"

"Why choose such an improper path when there are no better alternatives?"

Qiao Bai and Xu Xiaoyan both deeply understand this.

To be honest, their own conditions are not particularly good.

But are they living a very bad life?

Qiao Bai's case is not very relevant.

What about Xu Xiaoyan?

They worked part-time while studying at school and worked hard at other jobs outside of school.

Because he was a beast tamer, his final salary was quite substantial.

Why do countless ordinary people want to have the potential to become beast tamers?

It is precisely because once you awaken your Beastmaster qualification, regardless of your family background or circumstances, you will have a brighter future to choose from.

Although the road is very difficult, reaching the top seems so far away.

But if you just want to live a little better, and even better, you can definitely do it if you work hard.

Not the kind of inspirational quotes or motivational sayings.

Rather, it is the distribution of social resources that is like this.

"According to that guy himself, he awakened his potential in the middle of last year." Xu Xiaoyan said helplessly, "After dropping out of high school, he went astray and made a living by swindling and cheating ordinary people before he awakened. He never expected that he could awaken his potential as a beast tamer at the age of 21."

Qiao Bai was somewhat surprised.

21 is old.

The age is indeed a bit too old.

This situation does occur, though not entirely unheard of.

"After discovering that his innate skill was hypnosis, that guy even thought about... tsk." Xu Xiaoyan clicked her tongue heavily as she spoke, skipping over the topic: "Anyway, he did some research on his innate skill and found that it didn't work on humans, only on supernatural beings. He was quite angry when he said that."

"Then, encouraged by his buddies who were also involved in swindling and cheating, they decided to team up and pull off a big operation."

"The supernatural creatures in the wild are too wary, and there is no time to slowly get to know them and build a relationship, so they set their sights on breeding bases and breeding houses."

Then he didn't get the job.

Breeding farms and breeding houses are both highly sought-after and secure jobs.

Even among beast tamers, they choose those with experience.

Can just anyone apply for the job?

It's not that easy.

He then traveled to several cities before finally setting his sights on Wanyuan City, an amusement park that housed some flawed supernatural beings.

The amusement park hires temporary workers during winter and summer vacations.

Although the man didn't have a contracted pet, he packaged his innate skills as something that could soothe extraordinary creatures to a certain extent. The amusement park's screening of temporary workers wasn't that strict, so he was able to sneak in smoothly.

What happened next...

Qiao Bai was speechless.

"Doesn't he know that those extraordinary creatures have flaws? Putting aside whether he can even take them out, no one would buy them even if he did."

If any beast tamer were willing to form a contract with these extraordinary creatures, they would not appear in the amusement park.

Xu Xiaoyan: "Who says otherwise? Besides, they can't escape at all. The superhuman creatures working at the amusement park have chips implanted in their skin. Leaving the amusement park will trigger an alarm, and catching them will be a piece of cake."

"However, that would have made things much bigger. The amusement park management is very fortunate that it could be resolved within the park."

"Let's not talk about those dim-witted, lazy guys who only think about cheating and swindling." After recounting what happened at the amusement park and giving Qiao Bai an explanation, Xu Xiaoyan changed the subject: "The person in charge wants to thank you in person, boss, and has prepared a thank-you gift. What do you say, boss?"

Qiao Bai promptly refused.

Let's skip thanking her in person or anything like that.

"Thank you, Gold... Use it to take good care of the extraordinary creatures in the garden. Just pay a little more attention to the cat demon and the moon eagle cub," Qiao Bai said.

If he had accepted it when he was short of money, then so be it.

Now that Qiao Bai has received a stipend from the NY City Beast Taming Alliance, he's not short of money.

"Okay, I'll talk to them later." Xu Xiaoyan agreed, "I didn't expect you to be so kind, boss!"

Qiao Bai smiled.

Kindness?

Not really.

It was just something I did on the side, something within my ability.

Qiao Bai did not explain.

Let Xu Xiaoyan continue with her beautiful misunderstanding.

By the way, I hope that Neko and the Moonhawk cub won't run into any more brainless scumbags in the future.

Putting everything else aside, the extraordinary beings must have been exhausted from following them around.

……

the next day.

Zhan Mo personally drove to the hotel to pick up Qiao Bai and take her to the laboratory.

"My lab is located in the suburbs of Wanyuan City, which is a bit far from here. If you're sleepy, Professor Xiaobai, you can sleep a little longer in the car," Zhan Mo said with a smile to Qiao Bai in the passenger seat.

Qiao Bai shook his head: "No need, I'm already awake."

Then, because the car was too warm and the music was too sentimental, Qiao Bai became drowsy during the hour and a half drive.

As the car drove into the laboratory garage, the door opened and a blast of cold air jolted Qiao Bai awake.

Qiao Bai: "..."

What a bad start!

I almost fell asleep as soon as I got on the bus after boasting that I wasn't sleepy.

Qiao Bai shook his head, still looking a bit sleepy.

"Oh!"

Just then, a cold snort came from the side.

A sharp, sarcastic voice rang out: "Hey, Zhan, I think you've completely fallen from grace. You brought in this greenhorn, you don't really expect anything from him, do you?"

"What could a little brat who hasn't even grown all his hair know!"

Qiao Bai instantly regained his senses.

Oh wow.

He hadn't encountered such an arrogant person in a long time.

The excessive harmony and peace in this circle almost made Qiao Bai believe that everyone in the world was a good person.

Especially after Qiao Bai was publicly thanked by a big shot, everyone's attitude towards him was incredibly harmonious, and everyone praised him as a "rising star" and a "genius".

I haven't seen anyone insult him like that to his face in a long time.

Who would have thought he'd encounter such a plot twist that immediately puts him in the wrong position?

Qiao Bai was excited.

He turned to look at the person speaking beside him.

The first thing that catches the eye is a sports car with a flashy red paint job. The person opposite is not bad-looking; with the added allure of money, he could be considered somewhat handsome.

pity.

There are two even more handsome men here.

Qiao Bai and Zhan Mo.

Qiao Bai is young, and his style of dress is different from this person's, so at least you can say that they each have their own merits.

But when you compare this person to Zhan Mo... both of them have the style of a peacock spreading its tail feathers, but Zhan Mo's handsome, sunny, and cheerful demeanor is just right.

The person opposite him looked much greasy.

Especially when he was in the same space as James.

That's a complete game-changer!

The two people form a stark contrast!

He's even more handsome now.

Xiao Shuai's "scratching" sound turned into a greasy mess.

Fang Junye, who understood the meaning behind Qiao Bai's eyes: "!!!"

"Who gave you the right to look at me like that?" Fang Junye's forehead veins were practically bulging as he gritted his teeth and said, "Ha! You annoying brat who has absolutely no idea how strong you are!"

Before Qiao Bai could even retort.

Zhan Mo retorted without hesitation: "Hey Fang, what are you doing, acting crazy all by yourself?"

"You have no research to do and are incredibly idle, wasting a lot of time. I don't have time to waste arguing with you here." Zhan Mo started by going all out.

No research required, plenty of free time.

Every word struck a nerve with Fang Junye.

"It's all because of you!" Fang Junye glared fiercely at Zhan Mo.

"The new evolutionary path of the rabbit-dog should have been my research topic!" Fang Junye suddenly took a step forward, pointed at Zhan Mo, and shouted, "If you hadn't stolen it from me, would I be here now?"

As he spoke, Fang Junye calmed down a bit, his tone becoming increasingly sarcastic and disdainful.

"But it seems your research isn't going very well either!"

"Two whole years have passed, and there's been no progress at all. That's why the Alliance contacted me and asked me to help you." Fang Junye shook his clothes, his expression turning smug again: "It seems the Alliance does know you're not capable enough, so they had to ask me to cover for you."

"Hurry up and kneel down to express your gratitude!"

"If it weren't for me, your research project might have been canceled this year!"

Fang Junye got more and more excited as he talked, his chin almost pointing to the sky.

Zhan Mo frowned: "When did this happen? I didn't receive any notification. You didn't make this up to lie, did you?"

"Professor Xiaobai, please wait a moment while I go ask." Zhan Mo turned to look at Qiao Bai beside him, giving him an apologetic look: "If that's really the case... then I was being rude."

He invited Qiao Bai over today.

Then he ran into a new member sent by the Alliance to work with him on the research... Those who didn't know the situation would think he was in cahoots with the Alliance and was deliberately using this method to humiliate Qiao Bai.

Fortunately, Fang Junye showed 200% hostility from the very beginning.

But this was still extremely impolite to Qiao Bai.

Normal people wouldn't seek help from two people at the same time.

Qiao Bai remained silent.

He didn't care about such things, but the fact that James gave him an explanation showed respect for him.

If Zhanmo pretends nothing happened and gets away with it... Qiao Bai will still have to see the new evolution path of the rabbit-dog, but the final result may not be Zhanmo's.

Neither of them paid any attention to Fang Junye, who jumped out and started biting people like a mad dog.

After making a quick phone call, James's face did darken slightly.

"Is it confirmed now?" Fang Junye's smug voice rang out again. "I didn't lie to you."

"But you didn't say that you were the one who reported me to the alliance, saying that I wasn't doing my job properly and hadn't produced any research results in two years, and suggested that you be put in charge of the project." Zhan Mo didn't give Fang Junye a friendly look and directly exposed what he had done.

Fang Junye's expression panicked slightly for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Is there a problem?" Fang Junye crossed his arms, raised his head, and said with an air of self-righteousness, "It's been two years, a full two years. We discovered this clue together, but you haven't figured it out in two whole years. Is it wrong for me to report you?"

"You're wasting your time! Wasting your energy! Exploring the wrong path!"

"The reason there were no results is because you didn't listen to my advice!"

"Otherwise, the new evolutionary path for rabbits and dogs would have been discovered long ago!"

James remained silent.

Qiao Bai was also speechless.

If two years without results is considered a waste of time... then what about Professor Ge Zongyan, who spent four years researching a new evolutionary path?

What are Sun Guoping and Gu Hongyu, who spent six years, and might not even need another two years, to find out the new evolution path for the little fox?

Without a talent or cheat code like Qiao Bai's, it's not uncommon for researching a new evolutionary path for an extraordinary creature to take two to ten years to succeed.

Choosing to report someone simply because they didn't listen to their opinion... This was the first time Qiao Bai had ever heard of such a thing.

And the alliance actually sent this person over... Qiao Bai's feelings toward the Beast Taming Alliance of Wanyuan City were a bit complicated.

That's disgusting.

Fang Junye seemed to think he had the upper hand: "Hurry up and take me to your lab now, let me see what useless things you've produced in the past two years."

He then pointed at Qiao Bai: "Oh, right, I'm allergic to this kind of useless brat. Tell him to get lost."

Zhan Mo shook his head at Qiao Bai.

"The alliance only said you could come and take a look, but they didn't say I should hand over the leadership to you." Zhan Mo's expressionless face was very imposing, and Fang Junye, who had been extremely arrogant just now, was stunned by his expression: "In other words, I am still in charge of this project, and you have no right to tell the professor I invited what to do."
