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

Chapter 87 Talent Skill Upgrade! Little Wu's Talent Skill Awakens?

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

Faced with the coordinated attack of Qiao Bai, Zhan Mo, and Gu Xiaotu, Fang Junye stomped his feet in anger and cursed loudly.

Unfortunately, the other three people didn't care about him at all.

Just pretend he doesn't exist.

As Gu Xiaotu scrolled through the videos, she became more focused.

Qiao Bai and Zhan Mo huddled together to continue exchanging their thoughts and opinions, while the other researchers also got back to work, writing furiously!

Qiao Bai is right!

Change it!

Their initial idea must be changed!

Quantitative change!

A qualitative change!

Fang Junye angrily went to the lab to harass the researchers: "Don't you guys think this idea is just too outrageous? How can there be such a way of evolution? If you were willing to listen to me..."

"Get out of the way, don't disturb my review notes. Professor Xiaobai is right!"

"Yes, yes, yes! My thoughts are flowing smoothly right now!"

"I have a new idea: the accumulation of quantitative change can also be achieved through..."

Fang Junye's face turned bluish-purple.

Just as he was about to go crazy and start cursing everyone.

A dazzling white light enveloped most of the laboratory.

Fang Junye: "?"

Researchers: "?"

James also suddenly stood up straight and looked in the direction from which the white light burst forth.

It is Gu Xiaotu.

To be more precise, it was a rabbit-dog lying on Gu Xiaotu's body.

It was the source of the burst of white light that enveloped most of the laboratory.

Fang Junye's mouth opened wider and wider.

His mind was in complete chaos.

Who is he? Where is he? What did he see?

Was the light in front of him a deception?

Otherwise, how could that be...?

The researchers in the lab were so shocked that their eyes widened, their jaws dislocated, their breathing became rapid, their legs went weak, and they spoke at an alarming pace.

"I...I...I...what...what is this?!"

"My glasses are broken and I still haven't fixed them. Look, look, there's a problem. I must be seeing things!"

"I'm not nearsighted! But why do I feel like I'm seeing the same scene as you guys?"

We all looked at each other, our eyes filled with the same shock and disbelief.

The main thing is... has an hour passed since Qiao Bai finished explaining his conjecture?

At most, it'll be an hour!

Then they actually saw the rabbit-dog radiate the light of evolution.

If Gu Xiaotu hadn't actually been chosen by their lab as an assistant beast tamer more than two years ago, and if they hadn't dealt with Gu Xiaotu every month and talked to her from time to time, they wouldn't have known about Gu Xiaotu's family situation, if not completely.

They were starting to suspect that Gu Xiaotu was someone Qiao Bai had specifically hired to help them!

Even a slipper wouldn't be this clever!

Evolution happens just like that!

We didn't give them any mental preparation at all!

As the white light faded, an extraordinary creature never before seen appeared before everyone in the laboratory.

It didn't have the blackish-purple fur of a Poisonous Rabbit Dog, nor did it have ferocious fangs.

The most obvious change is that it went from walking on all fours to standing upright. Its fur is still snow-white, but the front parts of its limbs are tinged with a faint red, like the color of blood that hasn't been washed off.

The hair on my body that used to feel prickly to the touch has grown to a length that is now visible to the naked eye, making it look and feel very soft to the touch.

Overall, its appearance is not much different from that of a rabbit or dog.

However, at first glance, the evolved rabbit-dog looks like it has a beauty filter applied, and its cuteness level has more than doubled compared to the original rabbit-dog appearance.

He was slightly taller than Gu Xiaotu, about 1.6 meters tall.

"The evolution... was successful?!"

The unknown researcher who had just said his glasses were broken and suspected he was seeing things was the first to come to his senses among the silent group. Before anyone else could react, he suddenly pounced towards the evolved rabbit-dog and grabbed its leg tightly.

"Waaaaah!"

"I saw it! I saw it!"

"I never thought I'd actually see a new evolutionary form of the rabbit-dog!"

"Waaaaah!"

"But this result...has absolutely nothing to do with our efforts!"

The researchers hugged the legs of the evolved rabbit-dog, collapsed to the ground, and cried their hearts out, sobbing uncontrollably with spittle flying everywhere.

The rabbit and dog did not retaliate because they did not perceive any malice:

"Woof!"

The evolved rabbit-dog looked at its beast tamer with a pitiful expression.

Ruby-like eyes are making a silent accusation: Dirty!

If it weren't for the beast tamer, it would have thrown the person out on its own!

"Uncle, hurry up and put it on the bunny, or the bunny will go berserk." Gu Xiaotu immediately understood what the bunny was trying to say and quickly said to the researcher who was hugging the bunny's leg.

Before the bespectacled researcher could react, Zhan Mo strode forward, grabbed him by the collar, pulled him out, and threw him back into the laboratory behind him.

This immediately silenced the other researchers who were itching to rush up and hug the evolved rabbit-dog's legs, cry their hearts out, and take the opportunity to pluck a few more strands of its fur.

"Everyone, calm down first." Zhan Mo glanced at everyone, silencing them, and said in an exceptionally calm and steady voice, "Who says this result has nothing to do with your efforts? You still have a lot to do later."

The researchers perked up when they heard this.

That's right!

Gu Xiaotu's rabbit-dog has successfully evolved, but there is still a lot of work waiting for them to do.

Everyone instantly perked up again, their eyes shining, eager to take the evolved rabbit-dog for a full check-up right now.

Figure it out.

They need to figure out how the rabbit-dog evolved into this harmless appearance.

"Look at the Poisonous Rabbit Dog, then look at the new evolved form of the Rabbit Dog... isn't this comparison a bit too exaggerated?"

"Who says otherwise? I'm more worried about whether the evolved rabbit-dog will be affected in terms of attributes!"

"Come on, don't be afraid, let's go inside the machine and check it carefully. Everything will come out!"

The researchers surrounded the evolved rabbit-dog. Although they didn't pounce on it, everyone had a smile on their face that was... hard for Qiao Bai and Gu Xiaotu to describe.

Yep.

They were a little excited, a little lewd, and their faces were flushed as if they had seen the most beautiful woman in their dreams.

Startled, Gu Xiaotu immediately hugged the evolved rabbit-dog tightly.

Seeing this, James shook his head.

He understands everyone's excitement.

Upon seeing the evolved rabbit-dog form, everyone was overwhelmed with joy and excitement. Zhan Mo was also very excited. Instead of rushing towards the evolved rabbit-dog, he turned to look at Qiao Bai.

"Professor Xiaobai, how did you do that? How did you figure it out?" Zhan Mo looked at Qiao Bai as if he were looking at some legendary being.

No exaggeration.

James felt that his gaze and his mindset were not exaggerated at all.

He has been in charge of this project for two whole years.

In the past two years, I've spent almost all my time in the lab, not to mention eating and sleeping there, devoting all my energy to the research.

He has devoted at least 80% of his attention to the project on the new evolutionary form of the rabbit dog.

Aside from spending time with his girlfriend, he spends almost all his time in the lab.

Several plans are constantly running through my mind every day.

However, progress has been slow.

This is Qiao Bai's first time in the lab, his first time seeing the rabbit-dog, and his first time working on this project.

Then, under Qiao Bai's guidance, the rabbit-dog evolved.

There might be a small element of luck and coincidence involved.

But it's mostly Qiao Bai's strength that matters!

Without using any instruments, Qiao Bai found a new evolutionary path for the rabbit-dog in one go!

Genius... no, no, no, in Zhan Mo's opinion, even these two words are insufficient to describe Qiao Bai's prowess.

Upon hearing this, the researchers nearby finally remembered—

Yup!

They were too excited to see the new evolutionary form of the rabbit dog.

They completely overlooked the fact that Qiao Bai, their helper, was visiting their project's lab for the first time, and then, at a speed they didn't expect, quickly found the most correct route among countless ideas!

The way everyone looked at Qiao Bai was as if they were looking at some terrifying, untouchable, unknown entity.

Qiao Bai: "..."

what.

A bit exaggerated.

Joe: "Inspiration and intuition."

Qiao Bai spoke very decisively and crisply.

To tell a lie requires countless more lies to cover it up. One's innate talent and special abilities cannot be spoken of, but they are easily recognizable... The realm of genius is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

By openly displaying this "genius" aspect, others are unable to question it or feel there is anything wrong with it.

Janmer and the other researchers all wore silent expressions.

Fang Junye jumped up and shouted, "Even if you're lying, you should at least follow basic principles! Who would believe something so outrageous!"

"I understand." Fang Junye, finally snapping out of his daze after the shock of the rabbit-dog evolution, felt as if his entire brain had cleared up. Pointing at Qiao Bai and Zhan Mo, he had a look of sudden realization on his face: "Did you two discover the key to the new evolutionary path of the rabbit-dog all along and team up to deceive me?"

"I knew it..." Fang Junye's expression gradually became distorted. He glared at Qiao Bai and Zhan Mo through gritted teeth, as if he wished he could pounce on them and bite off a piece of flesh.

mean!

Shameless!

play hard!

They actually set a trap here, waiting for him to fall into it!

"There's a limit to your nonsense, you know?" Zhan Mo rolled his eyes at Fang Junye. "Just because you're stupid doesn't mean you don't believe there are geniuses in this world?"

"If I had discovered the key to the evolution of rabbits and dogs earlier, I definitely wouldn't have invited Professor Xiaobai. Wouldn't it have been better for me to take the credit and keep all the achievements and honors for myself?"

"Go ahead and make excuses for your failures, but don't drag Professor Xiaobai's reputation into it."

As James spoke, a large group of researchers stood around him, chiming in with their own jokes.

He nodded frantically.

Yeah.

Their professor is absolutely right!

If their own people could find that key point and follow the clues to find a new evolutionary path for rabbits and dogs, why would they invite an ancestor back to share the results with them?

Wouldn't it be better to keep it all to yourself?

It's not because they couldn't find it, but the big shot they brought back was incredibly awesome. He solved the problem for them in no time and showed them the evolved rabbit-dog!

Thinking of this, many researchers looked at Qiao Bai as if he were a deity descending to earth.

Awesome.

That's really awesome.

Before starting any project in the future, they should definitely pray to the photos of the big shots more often, and it would be best if they could just put the photos of the big shots directly in the lab!

Qiao Bai felt a chill run down his spine instinctively.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Is it too cold?

Qiao Bai ignored the burning gazes, silently turned her back, and pretended not to see anything. It was a little scary.

Fang Junye was still there, looking on in disbelief: "It's a lie...this must be a lie..."

"Miguji!"

Just then, the evolved rabbit-dog let out a strange cry.

Everyone's gazes instinctively turned to the evolved rabbit-dog and Gu Xiaotu, their eyes revealing a dazed expression.

Generally speaking, only the beast tamer of a pet can accurately understand the meaning expressed by its cries. Others can only guess at the meaning from the pet's facial expressions and body language, and cannot accurately understand the meaning expressed by the pet.

However, the bark of the rabbit dog is different after it has just evolved.

Everyone present felt a new thought creep into their minds—Qiao Bai was right.

Fang Junye: "?!"

James: "!"

Gu Xiaotu opened her mouth wide and looked up at the evolved rabbit-dog she was holding. The evolved rabbit-dog was also staring at her with its big, adorable eyes.

Only Qiao Bai, after a moment of shock, decisively used his innate skill to examine the evolved rabbit-dog.

[Pet: Evil Dog]

[Attributes: Dark, Poison]

[Type: Intermediate-level, Advanced+]

[Level: Tier 5 Advanced+]

[Skills: Bite, Poison Gas Attack, Shadow Invasion, ..., Venom Swamp]

[Talent Skill: Truth and Lies*]

[Truth and Lies: It can arbitrarily determine the truth or falsehood of a statement and transmit the result to the minds of nearby humans using special sound waves; in battle, it will randomly utter true or false information related to the opponent's Beastmaster. The more people who don't believe the true information, the more energy the dog gains; the more people who believe the false information, the more energy the dog gains. It can increase its strength by one to two times during battle.]

The bunny of today is not the bunny of the past! Get ready to wag! Get your brains working! Don't offend ¥%! @#%

The evolved rabbit-dog, also known as the Evil Dog, finally fixed its gaze on Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai couldn't help but become curious.

kindness?

Did the dog see something in him?

Seeing that the dog hadn't caused him any trouble and had confirmed his so-called "inspiration and intuition," Qiao Bai didn't delve into it further.

He just hadn't expected it.

So it turns out that extraordinary beings can also awaken innate skills?

Truth and lies... This talent is quite powerful, but it also has many limitations. How to unleash its full potential depends on whether the liar can make the dead seem alive, whether it can conquer the world with its words, or whether it's a competition-level player.

However, perhaps due to his innate skills, the Ehren was the first extraordinary creature that Qiao Bai had ever seen whose strength and grade did not improve much after evolution.

The original rabbit-dog was a mid-level high-grade transcendent, and even after evolution, it was only a mid-level high-grade transcendent plus, with its strength not even breaking through to the sixth rank.

Is this why Little U doesn't have any special skills after evolving?

Qiao Bai stroked his chin, preparing to upgrade the system and conduct further research after returning.

After including the new evolution form of [Evil Dog].

The panel in Qiao Bai's sight flickered twice, then turned completely blue like a computer crash. If it weren't for the twelve-hour countdown on the panel, Qiao Bai might have seriously doubted whether the talent skill was bugged.

Qiao Bai closed the talent skill panel that was upgrading, looked at Zhan Mo and smiled, and said, "This should be the new ability brought about by the new evolution route of the rabbit dog. It's pretty close to what you guessed. It can detect lies."

Zhan Mo nodded, his eyes sparkling as he looked at E'quan. He was just as excited as the researchers around him, who couldn't wait to put E'quan into the machine for repeated examination and research.

Fortunately, James restrained the urge to take immediate action.

"Little Rabbit, can you cooperate with us to give the evolved rabbit-dog a check-up?" Zhanmo tried hard to show a smile that wasn't too different from his usual one, but he was still too excited and his smile looked particularly distorted.

Gu Xiaotu took a step back while holding the dog, then took another step back.

Gu Xiaotu: Don't come any closer.jpg

Fortunately, Gu Xiaotu remembered his identity and knew that the evolved rabbit-dog couldn't just do nothing. The laboratory wasn't there to help the beast tamers with charity work, so cooperating with the laboratory's reasonable requests was their duty.

The moment Gu Xiaotu nodded, everyone except Qiao Bai and Fang Junye sprang into action.

Hurry up!

Be quick!

The entire laboratory began operating at a speed that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The physical data of the evolved rabbit-dog was also presented to everyone. However, it will take more time to determine and implement the abilities of the evolved rabbit-dog.

These were all procedures that Qiao Bai had never experienced before, and he watched them with considerable interest.

Seeing that the dog inside the machine was indeed unharmed, Gu Xiaotu took small steps closer to Qiao Bai, looked at the dog, then at Qiao Bai, and said with gratitude and admiration, "Brother Qiao... no, Professor Qiao, you are truly amazing!"

Gu Xiaotu said sincerely.

Really great.

No sooner had Qiao Bai finished speaking than the rabbit-dog evolved... If this wasn't Qiao Bai's doing, Gu Xiaotu would be the first to roll up her sleeves and argue with the person who spoke.

"Professor Qiao, could you sign your name for me?" Gu Xiaotu looked at Qiao Bai with sparkling eyes, full of longing.

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Stop acting cute. You already have a photo with me, don't you?" Qiao Bai said helplessly. Why didn't you think of asking him for an autograph in the first place?

Qiao Bai: "The signature isn't good, don't even think about it."

Gu Xiaotu looked aggrieved: "Oh..."

Okay, okay.

Who would have thought that Qiao Bai was truly a genius, far more so than those described online!

James and his team of researchers marched in high spirits, their energy so great they seemed ready to stay on duty for another three days and three nights.

Qiao Bai and Gu Xiaotu also had a very pleasant conversation.

Only Fang Junye was so badly affected that he turned ashen, his entire appearance dimmed, and he was no longer the smug, peacock-like figure he once was.

Leaving is unacceptable; staying is shameful.

Fang Junye stood quietly in an inconspicuous corner of the laboratory, like a tuft of hairy mushroom, muttering something to himself... In short, no one noticed him.

Qiao Bai didn't rush to leave either.

He observed the steps involved in testing the evolved rabbit-dog in the laboratory.

"Actually, we should find a more professional breeder with a talent skill similar to 'Insight' to help confirm the pet's status after evolution." Gu Xiaoxiang seemed to see Qiao Bai's curiosity, so she took the initiative to explain.

Having spent a lot of time in the lab, Gu Xiaotu often chatted with other researchers and discussed related knowledge.

"But the rabbit's evolution today was so sudden that no one was able to react. Breeders with talents like [Insight] that can see through and detect things need to make an appointment in advance, so we can only use machines and primitive methods to check for the time being."

"Next, we should schedule appointments with trainers who have special talents."

"Professor Qiao, what's your innate skill?" Gu Xiaotu asked curiously, looking at Qiao Bai. "You were able to find the rabbit's evolutionary path so quickly; your innate skill must be incredibly powerful, right?"

For example...making the brain smarter, developing intelligence-related talents and skills?

Or perhaps a mental talent skill that enhances the connection with extraordinary beings?

Gu Xiaotu considered several possibilities.

Qiao Bai: "It's [affability]."

Gu Xiaotu: "?"

"Really?!" Gu Xiaotu exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't that a bit like my innate skill? My innate skill is [Soothing], which has a certain probability of calming down extraordinary creatures that I've come into contact with."

Gu Xiaotu muttered, "...Unless I go into a related industry, this talent skill is too useless."

"Our talents and skills are about the same, so why is there such a big difference in our intelligence?"

Gu Xiaotu tried to find the reason, but her brain couldn't understand it, so it chose to pause thinking.

Qiao Bai laughed upon hearing this.

There are also differences in quality among awakened talent skills. Skills like [Affinity] and [Soothing] are neither particularly useful nor worth discarding. If you can't develop the power of talent skills to their fullest potential, they're just mediocre little trash.

Thinking about it, Qiao Bai touched his chin.

He has mastered the use of [Eye of Insight] to a high degree, but is he being a little too negligent in his application of [Affinity]?

Since it is a power that one possesses, it should not be wasted.

In addition... Qiao Bai also wanted to experiment with how the upgrade and mutation of the [Eye of Insight] actually happened.

What makes this ability so special?

Or perhaps other talents and skills can also be upgraded, but he simply overlooked them.

Practice brings true knowledge.

While Qiao Bai was thinking and exchanging ideas with Gu Xiaotu, Zhan Mo and the others over there also gained a preliminary understanding of the abilities possessed by the evolved rabbit-dog.

Their faces shone with a dazzling light.

Simple words like "excited" and "joyful" are insufficient to describe their feelings at this moment.

"It seems like we've made a very significant discovery!" Zhan Mo's eyes were almost the same color as his hair as he excitedly looked at Qiao Bai. "However, the machine isn't accurate enough in this area, so I can't be sure right now. Professor Xiao Bai, please wait a little longer. I'll definitely let you know as soon as I have the specific data."

Qiao Bai: "No rush, you can take your time."

James smiled broadly: "Don't worry, we can't slow down. We'll take care of everything else!"

slow?

If their minds weren't currently focused on the evolved rabbit-dog, and if their recent discovery hadn't captivated them so much that they had no time to spare, he would have called over the other assisting beast tamers right now to carefully consider the rabbit-dog's new evolutionary path.

The answer is simply that there wasn't enough time!

There's just not enough time!

"By the way," James said, "you discovered the new evolutionary form of the rabbit-dog, so let's give it a new name."

Qiao Bai was already very familiar with this process, and without thinking, he said, "Let's extort money from the dog."

"The Extortion Dog?" Zhan Mo blinked, thinking that since they had discovered that the evolved rabbit-dog's abilities were related to telling the truth and lying, the name "Extortion Dog" didn't seem out of place.

James nodded, and that was the settled title.

The subsequent matters did not require Qiao Bai's help or intervention; the researchers in the lab could handle them very well.

After saying hello, Qiao Bai left first.

A message came from James shortly afterward.

[Jam: Professor Bai, have you forgotten the bet you made with that idiot? I've detained him. Does he have any special needs? Let me see if he does.]

[Qiao Bai: I need resources with fire, special, dark, and fairy attributes.]

[Jamer: Okay! Everything's all arranged perfectly for you here! Just give me your address and I'll send it directly to you.]

As for how Zhan Mo got Fang Junye to obediently accept the invitation, that had nothing to do with Qiao Bai.

Thinking about the resources he was about to acquire, Qiao Bai was in a good mood, whether he kept them for himself or sold them.

What made Qiao Bai even happier was the upgrade of his talent skill.

Twelve hours is neither a long nor a short time.

When the twelve hours were finally almost over, it was already past eleven o'clock at night. Looking at the countdown of the last two minutes on the blue panel, Qiao Bai held Xiao Wu in his left hand and Maomaochong in his right, staring intently at the panel.

"I wonder what new abilities I'll gain after upgrading my talent skill."

"Chirp chirp!"

Catbug stared at the empty void with its messy eyes, its gaze filled with confusion.

What is the beast tamer looking at?

Why can't the dragon see anything?

Xiao Wu nodded as well.

Even the birds can't see it!

The two little ones looked at each other, then looked at Qiao Bai with a very subtle expression.

Cat Bug and Little Crow: Is the Beast Tamer under too much mental stress? Is he seeing something that doesn't exist?

Xiao Wu: OVO

Decided!

Birds need to support their families!

We need to help alleviate the pressure on the beast tamers!

Cat Bug: ￣﹃￣

If... really, how about the dragon eats less?

How can we relieve some of the pressure on beast tamers?

Effort is impossible, struggle is impossible, all the dragon wants to do is lie flat.

The dragon doesn't want to rise!

Qiao Bai, sensing what his two little ones were thinking: "..."

That's quite a big difference.

Qiao Bai patted Xiao Wu's head, then patted Maomaochong's head, and said with a wry smile, "Don't overthink it. There's not much pressure. I can easily support both of you."

It wouldn't be a problem to have one or two more.

However, Qiao Bai did not intend to contract a pet beast in the short term.

We haven't figured out the cat-like insect's abilities or origins yet.

Let's talk about the next pet beast contract later.

at last.

Between midnight and midnight.

The countdown on the blue panel disappeared.

The blue light dissipated.

A completely new panel interface appeared before Qiao Bai's eyes.

This is no longer a dramatic change.

It was designed and produced by a completely different designer.

First of all, the panel is much larger than before.

It's much more convenient to browse or view.

UI design has also become the kind of design that looks like it's been paid for, and a lot of money has been spent on it.

fine.

Comfortable.

It's obviously for members only.

However, in terms of functionality, the major modules have not changed much.

[Insight Log]

[Illustrated Guide to Extraordinary Creatures]

However, two progress bars appeared at the bottom of the panel.

[National Influence]

[Global Influence]

No percentage.

However, if you look at it with the naked eye... the progress bar for [National Influence] has advanced by just a tiny bit, really just a tiny bit, a faint red dot, the kind that's almost invisible.

Qiao Bai estimated that if converted to a percentage... it would only be around 0.1% or 0.01%.

Qiao Bai clicked on the detailed description of the progress bar.

[National Influence: Discover and promote the influence of new evolutionary paths of extraordinary creatures on the current country. Each time the influence reaches 10%, 20%, and so on, the Beastmaster will unlock a special reward that can affect the national level.]

[World Influence: Discover and drive the new evolutionary path of extraordinary creatures to have an impact on the current world. Each time the influence reaches 10%, 20%, and so on, the Beastmaster will unlock a special reward that can affect the world level.]

The detailed descriptions of the two progress bars are somewhat similar.

But what does "awards that can affect the national level" and "awards that can affect the world level" mean?

Qiao Bai quickly brainstormed, a bunch of random thoughts flashing through his mind... In the end, Qiao Bai chose to give up.

Looking at the progress bar, reaching 10% is definitely not an easy task.

And if that's the case... "I'm really going to go further and further down the path of pet evolution." Qiao Bai's tone was tinged with helplessness as he said this.

Clicking into the two large module panels reveals that there doesn't seem to be much difference.

These are all minor changes in details.

So... is the main reason for this upgrade of the talent skill just for these two progress bars?

Qiao Bai subconsciously looked down at Xiao Wu.

The rapidly changing panel in front of him instantly made Qiao Bai understand.

No, no.

The upgrade of his talent skills brought him far more new abilities than he had imagined.

[Pet: Three-Legged Golden Crow]

[Attribute: Fire + Special + Flying]

【Variety: High-end Low-end+】

[Level: Tier 5 Intermediate+]

[Skills: King's Aura, King's Eye, Guardian Heart, Peck, Blink Magic, ..., Dance of Fire]

[Successfully evolved*]

[Bloodline Awakening Level: 15% (Mastered the Essence Fire and evolved into the Three-Legged Golden Crow form)]

[Talent Skill: Not yet unlocked (can be obtained at 30% Bloodline Awakening Level)]

[Not yet unlocked]

[Not yet unlocked]

[Not yet unlocked]

The Beastmaster's gaze towards the birds is so strange. He must be under too much pressure! Ultimately, this family can only rely on the birds to survive!

While feeling somewhat helpless about Xiao Wu's inner thoughts, Qiao Bai couldn't help but pat the ahoge (cowlick) on Xiao Wu's head.

hey~

Is this what they mean by happiness and trouble coexisting?

My eldest child is so considerate.

I've been thinking about how to lighten his burden all day long.

Actually, things are really going quite well at home right now.

Can Qiao Bai blame Xiao Wu?

Of course not.

If all else fails... he'll just have to cooperate with Xiao Wu a little in this regard.

Qiao Bai thought to himself with amusement.

At the same time, he was very interested in the [Bloodline Awakening] and [Talent Skills] that appeared on Xiao Wu's panel, as well as the long list of unlocked skills.

This shows that Xiao Wu still has a lot of untapped potential.

As for the excavation process... with Xiao Wu's efforts, who knows when it will take?

We'll have to see how Qiao Bai unleashes his power!

Qiao Bai is now researching ways to help Xiao Wu gain an unfair advantage.

How can we accelerate Xiao Wu's bloodline awakening?

Qiao Bai tried clicking on the [Bloodline Awakening Level], and to his surprise, it was actually operable.

[Bloodline Awakening Level: The awakening level can be accelerated through [National Influence] and [World Influence]. Different new evolutionary paths of extraordinary creatures can bring different influences, accelerating the awakening level by 0.5%–10%.]

[King's Aura increases Bloodline Awakening by 0.5%, Evolving into the Three-Legged Golden Crow increases Bloodline Awakening by 11%, Unlocking five new extraordinary creature forms increases Bloodline Awakening by 4.5%]

Qiao Bai: "..."

Good guy.

Qiao Bai rubbed his forehead, feeling quite troubled.

The biggest factor here is the bloodline awakening brought about by Xiao Wu's evolution; as for the others... Qiao Bai had a bit of a toothache.

All his efforts over the past year have only resulted in a 5% awakening of his bloodline.

To give Xiao Wu his innate skills, you need to awaken 15% of his bloodline.

...He just wanted to ask, could he really do it in his lifetime?

can.

As long as you're willing to work hard.

Qiao Bai: I'm lying down, I'm lying down from this second.

After lying flat for three seconds, Qiao Bai suddenly jumped up onto the mattress.

Lying flat is absolutely impossible!

It's just the liver!

He can do it!

It's not that difficult for a person to grow on your liver, right?

Qiao Bai quickly accepted the future where he would have to master both magic and martial arts (crossed out) and be both a beast tamer and a professor of pet evolution.

Little Wu tilted its head and nuzzled against Qiao Bai.

Her golden-red eyes held a look of tolerance and understanding towards Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai chuckled and casually patted Xiao Wu's head again.

Then he turned his gaze to the cat-like insect.

Qiao Bai... Qiao Bai showed an expression that said, "I understand, but I don't quite understand."

hiss--

This situation...

[Pet: Cat-like Bug (Form undetermined)]

[Attribute: Dark, Special, Fairy (Attribute not yet determined)]

[Variety: Intermediate-level Low-tier Superior - Advanced-level Superior (Variety not yet determined)]

[Level: Tier 2, Advanced]

[Skills: Mind Control, Shadow Stealth, Blade of Despair]

[Bloodline: A special, extraordinary creature naturally born from the combination of various consciousnesses and energies within the forbidden land, with an extremely low survival rate]

[Talent Skill: Reversal]

[Reversal (Upgradeable): Skills learned normally will be reversed when used on the Cat Bug]

[Evolutionary path: Not yet determined]

[Chirp chirp—What is the Beastmaster looking at again? A dragon? The Beastmaster's gaze is so strange, he must be mesmerized by this beautiful dragon~]

Qiao Bai suddenly understood why the skill [Guardian Heart] that he had taught to the cat-like insect had become the completely opposite skill [Broken Blade] when applied to it.

It is precisely because of the innate skills that the cat-like insect possesses.

However, compared to the Catworm's innate skills, Qiao Bai was even more shocked by the Catworm's [bloodline].

What does this mean?

So... the Cat-Cat Bug is an unknown species of extraordinary creature born from the combination of consciousness entities from the forbidden land of the Eastern Continent?

Moreover, in a sense, the cat-like worm has not yet been truly born; it's currently in the state of an egg.

Is it possible for him to understand it that way?

Qiao Bai was a little confused.

However, after thinking it over, Qiao Bai temporarily put these worries aside.

What can we do?

The contract has already been signed.

Although I spent less time with the cat-like insect than with the little bird.

However, Qiao Bai could sense that the Catworm was definitely not as fierce and unruly as the wild supernatural creatures in the Forbidden Land.

Qiao Bai's desire to understand Cat Bug's situation was solely for the purpose of better helping Cat Bug arrange training methods.

Since this is the outcome... Qiao Bai is no longer in a hurry.

The cat-insect's skills are usable.

You can also teach the cat bug some new skills, which might have a unique effect on it.

As for the origin of the cat-like insect...

It's not important.

In short, Catworm is now his second treasure.

Like Da Bao and Xiao Wu, they are all his treasures.

"Chirp?"

"Chirp!!!"

What is the beast tamer thinking?

I love the Beastmaster's eyes!

So gentle!

Dragons like it!

Beastmasters also like dragons, right?

Under Qiao Bai's gentle gaze, the cat-like insect was practically sprawled out in a puddle of water.

It happily nuzzled Qiao Bai with its horns.

Seeing this, Little Wu, not to be outdone, sidled up to join in.

The two little guys, one on each side, were happily rubbing against Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai chuckled and touched them.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. It's getting late, time to sleep." Qiao Bai turned off his talent skill.

Although the advantages he had after evolution were not quite what he had imagined—

It was mainly Qiao Bai who thought so.

Next, he was busy figuring out how to help Cat Bug get a cheat code, but unexpectedly, Cat Bug was still an unborn baby, so it was a bit too early to start cheating.

On the contrary, it was Little Crow.

Awakening one's bloodline is more difficult than imagined... Let's talk about that for now.

We've just added two new evolutionary forms of extraordinary creatures.

Even an old ox needs a rest while plowing the field.

Let alone academic research?!

He can indeed find a new evolutionary path every day.

But others were not so quick to accept it.
