"It is said that there is a method to create a perpetual motion machine."
"As long as two cats put their paws on top of each other, according to the 'cat's paw is always on top' theorem, the two cats' paws will form perpetual motion."
"Hahahaha, Dahei, stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"
The little black cat lay on top of Mingyou's head and slapped his forehead hard with its paws.
I'm so pissed! It's just a sudden bout of obsessive compulsive disorder! You're laughing! You're still laughing!
After being washed, the monkey's fur became even more brilliant, shining like gold, and he scratched his head.
Is the little bald monkey being bullied?
But why does the little bald monkey laugh so loudly?
The little gray wolf glanced at the yellow-haired monkey. "Are you stupid? His Highness slapped the little beast master's forehead with his cat paw for so long, and there wasn't even a red mark. Do you believe what he said? He slapped it hard?"
The yellow-haired monkey scratched his head again.
It’s too complicated, the monkey can’t understand it.
Now that the yellow-haired monkey has returned to the team, they naturally have to hold another naming meeting.
Mingyou: "Speaking of big monkeys, it's naturally Sun Wukong!"
"Then let's go with Rhubarb."
Mingyou: "You may not know what Sun Wukong means, so let me briefly tell you the story of Journey to the West!"
"It can only be Da Huang."
Mingyou: "Actually, calling you Big Brother is not bad either."
"What should Huangmao be called if not Dahuang? So we decided to call him Dahuang."
Mingyou: "... Can you at least call it Dajin? This is clearly a golden monkey?"
"Who agrees and who disagrees? Okay, it's passed unanimously. From now on, you will be called Dahuang." Arthur the cat snapped his paws and made the decision.
Mingyou, whose votes were not counted, could only squat in the corner and draw circles.
The yellow-haired monkey continued to scratch his head.
Da Huang is Da Huang, he doesn't really care about his name. But the little bald monkey seems very sad, won't you go and comfort him?
Arthur the cat jumped on Big Yellow's head and said, "Why do you keep scratching your head? Do you have fleas?"
Arthur the Cat scratched and pulled out a long scar from the monkey's fur.
Arthur the Cat: "..."
Arthur the Cat: "Stupid Yuu!!!!!!"
Mingyou was frightened by Arthur's sharp scream and jumped up like a cat: "What's wrong? What's wrong... Why is there such a big scar! Let me see, let me see!"
Arthur the cat jumped aside, and Mingyou began to check the wound of the yellow-haired monkey.
After checking, Mingyou found that the wound was caused by the teeth of a wild beast, not an old wound suffered by the yellow-haired monkey on the battlefield.
"There's a blood clot in Dahuang's brain. This clot may be the culprit for Dahuang's amnesia." The Star Alliance's treatment equipment is very advanced, capable of direct X-ray examinations. Mingyou examined Dahuang and said, "The blood clot isn't large, and it's enveloped in energy. Thankfully, spirit beasts are all energy beings. Daily massage and acupuncture should help speed up the absorption of the blood clot."
Mingyou pulled out the acupuncture box from the system space and opened it with a snap. Inside, neatly arranged rows of silver needles of varying lengths were visible. The longest needle was as long as a palm.
Many furry creatures, whether mentally retarded or not, stepped back in unison, looking at Mingyou with terrified eyes.
Stick this thing in your head? Are you sure?
"Don't worry! There will be absolutely no problem!" Mingyou patted his chest, but none of the furry creatures believed him.
The yellow-haired monkey huddled behind the big white bear, hugging his knees and trembling.
No monkey! No monkey! No monkey! No monkey!
"It doesn't hurt, it really doesn't hurt," Mingyou said. "Don't be afraid to see a doctor. This is an energy stone acupuncture box. It's the only one of its kind in the entire Star Alliance. I haven't found a replacement yet. It's incredibly valuable! Trust me, one prick will cure all your ailments!"
Arthur the Cat felt too small and insecure, so he transformed back into Arthur the Tiger, trying to use his large size to bolster his courage. "Xiaoyou, are you sure it's okay to stab me?"
The big white bear glanced at his highness.
Why aren't you calling me "Chunyou" now? Your Highness, I've never seen you so cowardly before.
"It's really okay." Mingyou tried to widen his almond-shaped eyes, trying to make his expression look convincing. "Although I haven't tried it on a spirit beast, it's definitely okay!"
I passed the acupuncture exam with an S-rank rating in the system! As long as it's an energy life form, I can show you how to use it!
Although I haven't tried it on spirit beasts...
Even the big white bear couldn't help but shiver.
"Why haven't I seen you use it before?" Arthur Tiger's face wrinkled and he looked very worried.
It's not that he doesn't trust Mingyou, it's just that...piercing the head is different from piercing other parts of the body. Mingyou can't provide convincing evidence, so he really doesn't dare to let Mingyou do it.
It really makes the tiger’s head look big!
"It's too expensive, we can only exchange it now." Mingyou said.
All the fluffy kids know that Mingyou has a learning computer, just like the ones they used in school. They have to complete exams and homework and get credits before they can get rewards from the computer.
But that wasn't the point they wanted to know. A pierced head or something, or...
"Let's try the wild beast first." Arthur Tiger finally made a decision while patting his paw pad. "If the wild beast is fine, let Xiaoyou try it once. He didn't have a big wound on his head, so a needle prick won't be a big deal."
Little Gray Wolf frowned: "Your Highness, please think twice."
Arthur Tiger said: "If we don't trust Mingyou with the problem in Dahuang's head, how can we trust others? Do we dare to let other doctors perform brain surgery on Dahuang?"
The little gray wolf was speechless.
Normally, the skills of a veteran doctor with years of experience would be more trustworthy than those of a young, immature spirit beast practitioner. However, they had now determined that spirit beast science was fundamentally flawed. In other words, the current treatment plan might be completely counterproductive for spirit beasts.
If an energy-based spirit beast is injured and cannot return to human form, it can only rely on self-healing. Therefore, Mingyou has no experience, and the doctors are also inexperienced.
The Academy's elders once mentioned wanting to use spirit animals for "training." But donating bodies is one thing, but conducting human experiments that don't even adhere to scientific principles is tantamount to murder.
Since the advancement of science requires the sacrifice of spiritual beasts, why not choose the little spiritual beast master who has already saved them?
"That's really no problem." Mingyou slapped his head, then remembered that acupuncture was not common knowledge in this world. "Let me pass on the theory to you. Although the body structure of energy life forms simulates biological structures, they are still energy in essence. Therefore, silver needles wrapped in energy will not be recognized as foreign objects by the immune system of spirit beasts and cause rejection reactions."
"These silver needles are excellent energy conductors, equivalent to needle tubes... Alas, it's hard to explain in words, please look at the information!"
Only then did Ming Xiaoshazi pass the relevant information to them. The information contained text, videos, and pictures, and was simple and easy to understand. After all, in the elf world, this was the most basic treatment, no different from putting a Band-Aid on your hand.
The new information was an improved version of the system's Spirit Beast data, adapted for this world. As Mingyou refined the Spirit Beast Encyclopedia, the system's database was continuously enriched, adding numerous skill trees for Spirit Beast cultivation.
Mingyou now spends knowledge points like water and secretly enters the system to study every night.
Now he dares to pat his chest and proudly say that even Dahei, who serves as his pillow and quilt, did not notice that he stayed up late to study again.
Mingyou let something slip when he was introducing the information, and Arthur looked at Mingyou with a very unfriendly look.
His eyes seemed to be sizing up which part of Mingyou to bite, and then he opened his tiger-like mouth wide and bit this young man who would never learn his lesson to death with a roar.
The big white bear held its forehead with its paw.
The little gray wolf shrugged silently.
Right, he said that the little spirit beast master was being raised by His Highness to become more and more like His Highness.
It means sincerely admitting one's mistakes and not changing despite repeated warnings.
Mingyou also realized that he had let the cat out of the bag after becoming too proud of himself, so he quickly covered his mouth in fear and shook his head vigorously.
It’s not that I didn’t do that. Dahei, let me explain!
The big black cat shook its head vigorously, and its ears flapped.
I won't listen, I won't listen, stupid you, just wait! After I rescue the yellow-haired monkey, I'll see how I deal with you! At the very least, you'll have to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes and write a handwritten self-reflection!
Mingyou QAQ.
I will never get carried away again.
"Your optical computer is not only a learning system, it also has powerful data processing capabilities, equivalent to a super optical computer." Arthur Tiger glared at Mingyou fiercely before getting down to business. "I'll report this for you. I'll say that your optical computer is a super optical computer that has collected all the research data from the entire Spirit Beast Planet and is the crystallization of the knowledge of all Spirit Beast Masters."
"This super optical computer is bound to your life characteristics, and only you can use it. It is also equivalent to a learning optical computer. Only when you pass the exam and learn enough knowledge can you unlock the next system."
"Apart from studying and taking exams, any other means of forcibly unlocking the computer will cause the optical computer to self-destruct. The catastrophe of the spiritual beast masters' civilization has made them distrust anyone other than your descendants."
"Do you understand?" Arthur Tiger asked.
Mingyou nodded hard, listening and understanding!
should!
Should...should?
"I will organize this speech and send it to you. You have to memorize it." Arthur Tiger put his claws on Mingyou's head, pushing it back and forth, and the tofu dregs mixed with water and ice in his head jingled.
Stupid You!
Arthur Tiger held Mingyou's head with his two cat paws and shook it hard, as if he wanted to shake out all the tofu residue in his head. He almost gave Mingyou a concussion.
The little gray wolf lay on the ground and sighed deeply.
I hope my companions will wake up soon, and work together to protect this little fool.
Although the little gray wolf looked disgusted, his eyes were full of smiles.
Perhaps for this group of warriors who have seen too much darkness, Mingyou, who is talented in spirit beast breeding knowledge and music, but is easier to understand than a blank sheet of paper in other aspects, is a "specialized genius" that they can accept as their family without any hesitation.
After all, they have suffered enough betrayal.
Mingyou was collectively disliked by his pet furries, but his treatment plan was approved.
It's not that spirit animals don't have the courage to sacrifice themselves for science, but you should at least come up with a more reliable plan. Who would approve a request like the one submitted by the Academy of Sciences that said, "I don't know what to study, let's dissect a spirit animal first"?
Arthur snorted and snapped his printed academic papers while video chatting with his big brother. "Look, even the idiot Ming is doubting our Star Alliance's spiritual beast research system. He asked me if we should start with the habits of wild beasts or daily observations of spiritual beasts, and that spiritual beast breeding wouldn't have fallen so far behind."
"What can I say? I can only fool him and say that everyone is just looking in the wrong direction and is actually working very hard."
"What a bullshit! The Star Alliance has been at peace for too long. The combat power of S-class espers has become useless, and they're not used easily. They're like tactical threat weapons, lying idle. Many people in the Star Alliance are too lazy to even maintain them, and they say that people in remote star regions are still eating grass. We should use this money to improve people's livelihood!"
"Anyway, there's no war in the Star Alliance, so spirit beasts are useless. We can just make do with each other!"
"Then the war broke out. Logistics couldn't keep up, medical care couldn't keep up, and coordination couldn't keep up. It all depended on the lives and willpower of the S-class psychics to fill the gap!"
"In the end, those bastards said it was our fault. If we had let a few more spirit beasts conduct their unreliable human experiments, would they have figured it out soon? If they had produced an academic paper like Chunyou's, I would have personally taken the lead and volunteered for them!"
His Majesty Aldrich remained silent. He finished reading the paper, then turned to the person next to him and said, "Teacher, what do you think?"
"It's easy to understand and could be used as a training manual." Neil Grete pounded the ground with his cane. "The Academy's Council of Elders has been completely corrupted by capital. They control the discourse on spirit beast breeding in order to protect the enormous profit chain derived from it."
"We were cautious before, but now that Xiaoyou is here, the Elders' Council should be disbanded."
"It would be best if all this is resolved before Xiaoyou comes into the public eye. I don't want him to be harmed by the Covenant again." Arthur Tiger Claw typed frantically.
"Take good care of him." Seeing that his brother had regained his former liveliness and arrogance, Aldridge could not suppress the relief and smile on his serious face.
"Of course." Arthur Tiger raised his tail high.
That's his own stupid Yu. If he doesn't take care of him, who will?
After arranging things with his brother, Arthur tiptoed to Xiaotian's newly renovated "treatment room".
In the treatment room, there was a yellow-haired monkey tied up.
The yellow-haired monkey couldn't understand the paper, and he still thought he was completely incapable of it.
So he was tied up.
Here, Arthur Tiger is the boss. If Arthur Tiger says yes, then it is totally okay.
"Don't move. You don't want to get pricked with more needles if the needle goes off course, do you?" Mingyou advised, his innocent and kind expression on his face. "If you move too much, the needle might snap and break in your head. We'll have to open your skull to find the needle tip."
"Hey, looking for a needle in the mind, can it also be called looking for a needle in a haystack?" Mingyou thought he had discovered a very funny joke and quickly shared it with the furries around him.
The other furries shuddered.
What a joke! Why is it so cold? It sends chills down my spine!
"Isn't it funny? I think it's very funny." Ming Xiaoyou, who was still worried about the fact that his sense of humor was different from that of the furries, sighed softly.
The yellow-haired monkey has become stiff.
Stiffer than an ice sculpture made of a white bear.
He even breathed carefully, fearing that breathing would cause excessive muscle tremors, causing the energy needle to snap and break in his head, leaving the little bald monkey like "looking for a needle in a haystack".
Arthur Tiger stroked his big tail that had exploded into a fairy wand and quietly left the treatment room.
Does Chunyou know how terrible his words are? He probably really doesn't know, right?
Fortunately, he wasn't the one with the bump on his head.
…
Although it sounds scary, Mingyou is not wrong. Acupuncture is indeed a small treatment that can be done by any spirit beast master.
It was the acupuncture point on the head that frightened the furry group. If Mingyou had exchanged the acupuncture box earlier and acupunctured the big black cat's legs, no one would have objected.
Acupuncture was highly effective. The energy needles punctured the energy membrane surrounding the blood clot, channeling Mingyou's energy into the monkey's wound. This redirected the energy from the blood clot, moving it toward less important areas and alleviating the pressure on the memory area.
Mingyou initially estimated that after another ten or twenty times, the blood clot in Dahuang's head would disappear, and then he could treat the scar.
Because Dahuang has a strong stress response to acupuncture, in order to calm Dahuang's emotions, Mingyou scheduled acupuncture every two days to give Dahuang a day of psychological buffer time.
Da Huang squatted on the ground, holding his head. Although he did feel that the dull pain in his head had improved, the "joke" of "looking for a needle in a haystack" left a strong psychological shadow on him, and it was really difficult for him to accept the treatment happily.
After the first treatment, they stayed at the tree for a few days.
The young leaves and fruits of the tree were perfect food for spirit beasts. Mingyou and Xiaotian analyzed the tree. Once they received their analysis, they could ask the Star Alliance government to search for trees with similar characteristics, narrowing the search area for spirit beast food.
On the surface, Mingyou was still happy every day, but when he was sleeping with the big black cat in his arms at night, he dropped a few golden beans again.
The big black cat used its paw to pull Mingyou's little head into its scarf: "What's wrong?"
Mingyou muttered, "I feel bad."
The big black cat sighed: "Feeling sorry for the big monkey?"
Mingyou hugged the big black cat's neck tightly: "I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for the spirit beast."
"I've already learned most of the basics of spiritual beast cultivation. Injured spiritual beasts are generally treated by free-range breeding, allowing them to integrate into the wild beast community. It's said this can enhance their self-healing abilities."
"While this method is certainly not wrong, since the Star Alliance hasn't found a way to heal the spirit beasts, let them rely on their instincts to find it. Rather than letting ignorant people mess around, relying on the spirit beasts' own survival instincts may be the only solution."
"You said there's currently no record of spirit beasts dying at the hands of wild beasts while free-range. But just because they haven't died doesn't mean they haven't been injured. Even if the wounds eventually heal, the injuries you've suffered, the pain and suffering you've experienced, don't disappear."
"It's like Rhubarb. Over time, the blood clots in his head will disappear, his memory will return, and his scars will fall off. But what about the pain and suffering he's endured during this period? Is that all it takes?"
"You said that those studying spirit beast cultivation have done their best. I believe you, and I may be arrogant... but is there really no solution at all? What if we could place a tracking device on the spirit beast and find a way to treat it based on its life trajectory?"
Mingyou felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, as if these scars and pain were something he had experienced himself.
"Well... well, the reason is very complicated." Arthur Tiger tilted his head back. Oh, he couldn't hide it any longer.
But he really didn't want to tell Mingyou these dirty things.
What would he say? To the long-peaceful Covenant, spirit beasts were like long-unused, high-maintenance weapons. Was it normal for them to rust after being left unused for so long?
Normal ass.
But that's the way it is.
In particular, under the premise that the research on spiritual beasts is underdeveloped, most of the S-level mutants who can transform into beasts have good family backgrounds and hold high positions. It is really too difficult for them to take risks and participate in the research.
Even if there are spirit beasts with poor family backgrounds, as S-level psychics, each of them is a treasure of the Star Alliance. It is impossible for them to participate in experiments that are life-threatening.
The Star Alliance has been at peace for a long time, and the Star Alliance army usually just fights with star pirates. S-level mutants are enough. They rarely use the spirit beast form, and the possibility of being injured and weakened is very low. Naturally, they have no urgent desire to take risks to "become stronger."
Under this premise, the study of spiritual animals has been solidified for a long time, forming a powerful chain of interests.
For example, when it comes to raising wild beasts, a breeding base is equivalent to a resource star, and the cost involved can be imagined. Of course, with such a large cost, the profit is also enviable.
If the foundations of spiritual animal studies were overturned, the vast interest groups built on them would be overthrown. This would be like a new industry replacing an old one, inevitably leading to strong resistance from the old interest groups.
In peacetime, there are too many interests involved in this chain. If it is broken rashly, it will cause serious social problems. Even his brother can only hold his nose and bear it.
But a war tore apart all the masks of peace and disrupted the once stable old interest groups.
The Zerg posed a threat to the Star Alliance, but also gave it a boost. At least the families of S-class psychics would never tolerate their best children suffering such avoidable and serious injuries as they did in this war.
The S-class superpowers had previously overlapped heavily with the old interest groups. The war had torn their alliance apart, and the time for reform had arrived.
Mingyou is not only the fuse, but also the core of this change, so Arthur is reluctant to let Mingyou know too much.
Mingyou's sentimental nature will definitely make him think too much.
Arthur wouldn't let Mingyou out to attract firepower. He would keep all the flames of war and darkness out of the sight of this already pitiful young man. The young man only needed to happily do research, raise spirit beasts, broadcast live, and make a little money.
What about conflicts of interest, the darkness of human nature, and class struggle? If scientists have to worry about these things, who will do the research?
The establishment of the Council of Elders was originally based on the original intention of allowing scientists to conduct experiments purely, but they deviated from the original intention.
But just because the Elders’ Council is not good doesn’t mean the original intention is wrong.
Mingyou's mind is so simple when it comes to conspiracy and intrigue that it's filled with a terrifying amount of frozen tofu dregs. This is a congenital mental retardation that cannot be cured. Arthur has given up on treating Mingyou. Mingyou has spared no effort to rescue eleven interstellar heroes who are constantly dealing with various conspiracies and schemes. They even let their own young beastmaster worry about those dirty things. Do these interstellar heroes have any respect for themselves?
"If it's complicated, don't tell me." Seeing the big black cat in trouble, Mingyou smiled and said, "I know the limits of my brain. If Dahei can't handle something, it's useless for me to worry about it."
"I will heal you and raise you to be plump and white. In the future, if there are other spirit beasts that are being bullied, send them to me. I can't do other things, but raising spirit beasts is definitely my job." After Mingyou let a few golden beans take away his anxiety, he regained his blind optimism. "I will raise all of you to be plump and white!"
Big Black Cat Black Line: "Forget about being fat and white."
"That's right, Dahei can only be black and fat, he can never be white." Mingyou0_0.
The big black cat kicked Mingyou off the bed.
Stupid You! You need a lesson!
Mingyou climbed onto the bed and clung to the big black cat like an octopus, and the big black cat couldn't kick him off no matter how hard it tried.
Arthur Tiger: I’m so angry that my ears are like airplanes!!!
…
"Ah, Xiaoyou knows everything, but he never tells us anything because he doesn't want us to worry." After listening to Arthur Tiger's complaints, the big white bear sighed and said, "We haven't done enough to make Xiaoyou worry."
The yellow-haired monkey squatted on the ground like a little gangster.
Ah, the little bald monkey cried for me? I'm such a big monkey, and I'm actually pitied by a little bald monkey? This is so embarrassing! No, I have to show the little bald monkey my strength!
So Mingyou received a lot of fruits and young leaves from the yellow-haired monkey every day.
All of them are good ingredients that are full of energy.
Mingyou happily picked up the big yellow monkey and spun it around in circles: "Big yellow is so amazing!"
The yellow-haired monkey was picked up by the little bald monkey around the waist and spun around like a child.
When he landed on the ground, the whole monkey was in trouble.
Is this little bald monkey...really...the weakest of them all?
The yellow-haired monkey was petrified.
"You'll get used to it." The little gray wolf was already very calm.
The yellow-haired monkey squatted on the ground and cried.
His weak and pitiful family, he was supposed to protect them, but how could he protect them when he was so strong?
Arthur Tiger glanced at the yellow-haired monkey with disdain.
Mingyou is strong, but stupid. Once you regain your memory, you can use your brain to protect him.
The yellow-haired monkey held his head.
Am I particularly smart after regaining my memory?
The big white bear and the little gray wolf looked at each other and didn't want to admit this.
The yellow-haired monkey was indeed their brain trust, but he had so many bad habits and deserved a beating that it was hard for people to respect him.
"Big Black, Big Black! There are so many new foods this time. Do you think I should start a live broadcast and give away some new foods?" Mingyou suddenly had an idea. "They are just tasting the spiritual beast food I made through empathy in the live broadcast room. Maybe they don't trust the food very much?"
"Before, the ingredients were limited, so I couldn't give them away with the Nutrition Cubes. Plus, they only had the Nutrition Cubes to satisfy their cravings, not replicate them. Now, these are all local ingredients. I'll teach them the recipe and then give some away through a lottery. If they think it tastes good, they should be able to make it, right?"
"I want the other spirit beasts to taste the energy-rich food sooner rather than later," Mingyou said uncertainly. "Once they start to be picky about what they eat, maybe the people who make the food will improve their techniques, right?"
Arthur the tiger cat slapped his paw on the floor. "The suggestion is feasible. Let's do it!"
Although Chunyou has a simple mind, simple-minded people can sometimes come up with simple and violent ways to break the situation.
As expected of my stupid Yu! Big cat-like crooked mouth with pride!
