If it can't be replicated, it can't be confirmed. If it can't be confirmed, it can't be denied. So we might as well just ignore it, right?

Professor Wu gave Qiao Bai a teachable look.

"Okay, okay, just keep it in mind and don't think too much." After Professor Wu briefly told Qiao Bai about the situation related to alchemy, the topic suddenly changed and returned to the starting point.

"Xiaobai, I think my laboratory needs talents like you." Professor Wu said earnestly, his eyes full of sincerity and expectation when he looked at Qiao Bai.

need.

Very much needed.

So hurry up and join his research institute! For a moment, Professor Wu seemed to see him and Qiao Bai joining forces, and the two of them were racing on this scientific path together.

Qiao Bai: “…”

"Goodbye, bye, I'm leaving first." Qiao Bai refused Sanlian and turned around to run away.

Professor Wu sighed when he saw this: "Ah!"

Although he had prepared himself mentally, Professor Wu's heart was still filled with sadness when he heard Qiao Bai's rejection.

What a pity.

After getting along with Qiao Bai and realizing how talented he really is, Professor Wu really wants to bring Qiao Bai into his research institute.

There will definitely be no squeezing.

But with Qiao Bai's help, his research progress will surely be twice as fast as before, and he will be even more powerful. However, young people have their own pursuits.

Professor Wu tried to make an invitation, but he just wanted to give it a try... to see if he could succeed. If not, then forget it.

After all, some things require respect for personal wishes and cannot be forced.

Professor Wu reluctantly bid farewell to Qiao Bai, and when he turned around, he met the eyes of his young apprentice... no, the old apprentice.

Cui Wenzhong looked at Professor Wu dimly.

"Teacher, you can't wait to replace me, right?"

"I knew you must dislike me."

As he said this, Cui Wenzhong let out a long sigh.

Professor Wu, who was already old, had never expected to face such a fierce competition among his disciples: "..."

"Shut up."

Faced with this disciple who was not young at all and was still acting as unreasonable as the youngsters, Professor Wu felt a little amused in his heart, but he was not polite at all.

"I don't know anything, old man!"

"Don't make trouble here, kid!"

What's wrong with being attracted to a talented young man? He just made a mistake that everyone would make...

…

Yangcheng's popularity has not decreased at all during the Chinese New Year, with crowds of people and a bustling atmosphere.

People come and go.

The streets are bustling with people.

Although there has been no related follow-up news on the Internet, there is such a large ancient tomb here that there are always endless curious people who want to come and see it.

Fortunately, the Yangcheng Beast Taming Alliance, with the support of the headquarters, was very generous and used Light Year Dragon Riders to send all the invited beast tamers, breeders and pet professors back to the designated location.

Light-year dragon riding, a flying experience.

Let all the professionals experience a comfortable journey like traveling through time.

Jiang Heng personally sent Qiao Bai back to NY City.

Before Jiang Heng could say anything out of curiosity about Qiao Bai, he heard Qiao Bai say, "It feels completely different from riding the Yargen Dragon King!"

Jiang Heng: “…”

Jiang Heng was suddenly speechless.

Listen, listen, listen.

Is this something a human could say? To compare Yargen Dragon King, a dragon king - a dragon king, with Light Year Dragon Rider? Light Year Dragon Rider almost cried when he heard this.

I didn't cry but I did feel a little aggrieved.Lightyear Dragon Rider: aggrieved.jpg "Ouch?"

Doesn’t it seem like there’s something a little off about the object of this comparison?

Light-year Dragon Knight howled there without shedding a single tear.

Although he was not Light-Year Dragon Rider's beastmaster, Jiang Heng roughly understood what Light-Year Dragon Rider meant and touched Light-Year Dragon Rider's head helplessly.

Be good.

There is really no need to compare some things that should not be compared.

"Professor Qiao Bai, I hope you can go further, develop better, and research more new evolutionary forms of extraordinary creatures that benefit the people and the country." After taking a deep breath, Jiang Heng calmed down. She looked at Qiao Bai and said seriously.

Jiang Heng knew this because he had come across information related to Qiao Bai.

How extraordinary is this seemingly young boy in front of me?

...It's a kind of heaven-defying thing that cannot be described by ordinary words.

Qiao Bai smiled and said, "I have lived up to your trust."

Research is definitely necessary.

Without hindering his becoming stronger.

After briefly exchanging a few words with Ms. Jiang Heng, who for some reason seemed to know him and was quite familiar with him, the two parted ways.

Qiao Bai had just gotten off the Light Year Dragon Rider.

He was immediately abducted by Huangzhou to the NY City Beast Taming Alliance.

"Come, come, have some tea." Huang Zhou pressed Qiao Bai down on the big soft sofa in the reception room, and personally served tea and water to Qiao Bai very attentively, with a bit of flattery in his eyes when he looked at Qiao Bai.

He rubbed his hands together: "Qiao Bai, can you reveal something..."

Qiao Bai and Huang Zhou looked at each other.

Qiao Bai smiled: "Uncle Huang, guess whether I have signed a confidentiality agreement."

Huangzhou: “…”

Huangzhou sighed.

"Hey, I knew it..." I just wanted to give it a try with a flattering mentality...

“It’s true that it wasn’t signed.”

Before Huangzhou's shoulders slumped, he heard Qiao Bai speak again.

Huangzhou's eyes lit up.

"But Ms. Jiang Heng from the Star City Alliance Headquarters specifically told us not to spread the news everywhere."

Huangzhou lost again...

"It shouldn't matter if you just say a little bit."

Huang Zhou looked at Qiao Bai with resentful eyes: "Xiao Bai, your uncle Huang is already very old. Your repeated actions like this are really very unkind to my heart."

"Haha." Qiao Bai laughed twice, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then said lightly: "It's not an ancient tomb, it's an alchemy workshop."

Huangzhou: “?”

Huangzhou:.

Huangzhou's expectant expression suddenly collapsed, and he lost all his enthusiasm in an instant.

"Alchemist... forget it. Even if I knew it in advance, I wouldn't get any benefit from it." Huang Zhou sighed.

Qiao Bai confirmed once again through Huangzhou's reaction - they, the country, the alliance, the officials, really had no idea about the prophecies that humans had obtained in the past - should it be a prophecy?

The "ultimate weapon" that was subsequently created.

They even hold the view that the entire alchemy community is tasteless and would be a pity to discard, which is too useless.

Qiao Bai: ...This is really...I don’t know what to say.

Shaking his head in his heart, Qiao Bai still had no intention of telling anyone about the "ultimate weapon".

It's a secret.

It was a secret that only he should know.

"In that case, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first..." Qiao Bai was about to say goodbye when he was interrupted by Huang Zhou.

"Wait, Xiaobai, don't be anxious. I didn't call you here today for this matter." Huang Zhou said and met Qiao Bai's distrustful gaze.

What Huangzhou wanted to say was stuck in his throat.

After a pause, Huang Zhou rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Is this the image of your uncle Huang in your mind?"

Qiao Bai: “…”

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"...I want to hear your sincere lies." Huang Zhou said and was amused by himself.

He clenched his fist and put it to his lips and coughed twice: "Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore, let's talk seriously."

"Here's the thing. Lingbo City specifically found us and hopes that you can go on a business trip to Lingbo City. I neither agreed nor refused. Take a look and see if you are interested." Huang Zhou's expression returned to its serious state. He picked up the document on the table and handed it to Qiao Bai.

On business trip?

Or did he come specifically for him? Qiao Bai was a little curious, then took the document and quickly scanned it.

"The state of the supernatural creatures in the inner sea is chaotic. It is suspected that there is something abnormal in the population of supernatural creatures in the ocean. I hope to ask a professional pet professor to help investigate and deal with it?" Qiao Bai read word by word.

That's roughly what it means.

"Hmm..." Qiao Bai's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

The more top-notch the pet evolution professor is, the more he will not only focus on simple pet evolution research.

Long illness turns into recovery... ahem, no, that's probably what it means.

After studying the evolution of pet beasts for a long time, one can more or less understand other aspects of supernatural creatures. In addition to solving professional work, the powerful pet beast professors can even help deal with some special situations of supernatural creatures themselves besides evolution.

Learn from this and accumulate experience. You never know when you will encounter it again when you study the evolution of pets in the future.

For example, the specific requirement that Professor Wu received before.

If the follow-up had not been too outrageous, this would have been just a slight expansion of Professor Wu's capabilities and not a big deal at all.

"How... did they think of looking for me?" Qiao Bai was not curious about anything else, but why Lingbo City thought of inviting him?

Qiao Bai knew that his experience seemed too outrageous and ridiculous to many people who didn't know him.

While praising him as a genius, he was also muttering in his heart things like "talk nonsense and do bad things" which had no scientific basis at all.

It’s just that Qiao Bai ignored and disregarded these people.

But this doesn't mean Qiao Bai doesn't know.

Huang Zhou saw that Qiao Bai really couldn't figure out this problem, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Qiao Bai gradually became strange.

"No way, no way, you kid, you really don't know how amazing your reputation is!"

Qiao Bai: “?”

He suspected that Huangzhou had something else in mind.

What is against the will of heaven?

Qiao Bai knew nothing.

Huangzhou held his forehead with his hand.

"You kid..." Huangzhou hesitated to speak.

"I know that your mind is not usually outside of research and training, but I really didn't expect that your information would be blocked to such an extent."

"The research results of the Noisy Flower and Rabbit Dog that you took over before have come out."

When Huang Zhou said this, Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was saying.

“Ohhhh!”

“This one!”

Huangzhou looked at Qiao Bai in silence.

Qiao Bai smiled.

"...Very good, you really have forgotten everything." Huang Zhou sighed and said, "I... Hey! It's only been a short time!"

Was there a year in the past?

No!

Not at all!

Professors Ge Zongyan and Zhan Mo were both quite quick. They published their latest research results one after another just before the New Year, and they both listed Qiao Bai's name as the second author in the published papers.

Other professors and beastmasters who happened to have bought this issue of the magazine took a look and thought - Wow!

How long has it been since we last heard of the news, and Qiao Bai has already taken up two second author spots in the same journal? Think about how Qiao Bai has been constantly making his presence felt in various ways during this period...

My brother is awesome.

They really wanted to ask Qiao Bai how he managed to conduct his own research while providing research assistance to others and even got the position of second author.

Even Professor Ge Zongyan and Professor Zhan Mo have stated in their papers more than once that if it were not inappropriate, they would like to give the first author position to Qiao Bai.

This is what Qiao Bai deserves! Without Qiao Bai's help, they wouldn't have achieved what they have today!

Qiao Bai——their Superman! (crossed out)

Qiao Bai: “…”

“It’s not that I don’t exaggerate…” Before Qiao Bai could finish his words, he met Huang Zhou’s meaningful eyes.

Huangzhou: Say.

Just keep talking.

If I believe a single word you say, I must be out of my mind.

Qiao Bai gave up explaining.

"Thank you all for your recognition." Qiao Bai said helplessly.

Huang Zhou patted Qiao Bai on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, don't be so modest, this is what you deserve."

"With these two pet professors proving your ability, and with the vague rumor that you will probably be rated as a second-level researcher within half a year..."

"Wait, wait." This time Qiao Bai really couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly stretched out his hand and gestured to interrupt Huang Zhou's words: "Where did this rumor come from?!"

The previous one, at least, was supported by two second works.

Level 2 researcher? How could he not know! "Ah?" Huang Zhou once again showed a surprised expression: "Don't you know that you have been named the winner of the Dai's Extraordinary Biological Evolution Professor Award?"

Qiao Bai blinked.

Blinked again.

Gave Huangzhou a look that said "what do you think?"

Huang Zhou covered his mouth with one hand, pondered for a few seconds, and then showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Oh - this seems to be really my problem! I forgot to tell you!"

"Wait a minute." Huang Zhou gestured to Qiao Bai, quickly stood up from his seat, and hurriedly ran towards the office next door.

After a while, Huang Zhou's "dong dong dong" footsteps returned to the conference room.

Huangzhou walked in holding something.

"That's it, the award notification document. I remember I told you about it before..." As Huang Zhou spoke, his voice gradually became quieter.

Qiao Bai doesn't remember or know about this matter, so that means he just didn't mention it.

Huangzhou thought about it and decided it would be safer to change the topic.

Cough cough.

Perhaps he was too excited at the time, and it happened to be not long after the evolution of the Yargen Dragon King was confirmed, so he didn't take care of this matter for a while.

I just thought I had already mentioned this when I contacted Qiao Bai.

"The award ceremony is in mid-April, and it's only early February now, so there's still time, no rush." ​​Fortunately, fortunately, this is a blessing in disguise. I suddenly remembered this while chatting today.

Otherwise, wait until April Star City contacts Qiao Bai.

Oh no.

He just said he knew nothing about anything.

The one who will be unlucky in the end will definitely not be Qiao Bai, but him, the president of the Beast Taming Alliance.

Huang Zhou: "Your achievements are truly impressive. It is normal for you to receive the Dai's Extraordinary Biological Evolution Award."

"And according to usual practice, the researcher level of the winners will be upgraded to a higher level."

certainly.

It is really rare to find an award winner like Qiao Bai who is so young and is a third-level researcher.

If Qiao Bai moves up one level, he will become a second-level researcher, and the only hurdle ahead of him is really the first-level researcher.

Turning back to look at Qiao Bai's age...

Some people wander around for half their lives, with nothing in their hands and no money.

some people……

Forget it.

Huangzhou didn't want to say anything more, it was too sad to say it.

Even though he was already the president of the Beast Taming Alliance, he still felt a little shocked.

"In short, that's what happened—" Huang Zhou simply concluded: "Your great achievements have been recognized by the Beast Taming Alliance Headquarters, and your abilities have spread to a wider range."

"Lingbo City asked you for help. On the one hand, they believe in your ability, and on the other hand... they probably want to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money."

Qiao Bai: “?”

"Is there anything else on my body that I can pick up?" Qiao Bai asked curiously.

Huang Zhou gave Qiao Bai a "younger" look, then turned around and said earnestly to Qiao Bai: "Your ability is here. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be a second-level researcher after May, which is a full level higher than now. The price I have to pay to ask for your help will definitely be different from the price when you were still a third-level researcher."

But how long can the gap be?

Two months, three months.

It directly saved a lot of money.

Huangzhou would say after hearing this: He is really good at calculating.

But... "I can understand it." Huang Zhou sighed and said again.

"Lingbo City is a coastal city, and next to it is the Qingjing Inland Sea, the second largest inland sea in my country. The entire sea bears the important responsibility of being the leader of Lingbo City's GDP."

"To put it simply...there is not much money."

Fishing.

Fishing.

It's a cyclical business.

Just like from January to the end of May, it is the closed fishing season in the Qingjing Inland Sea.

There is no way to earn income from ordinary fish in the sea.

If they could not have been able to earn a certain amount of income by opening up the market to beastmasters and the beastmasters coming to contract with extraordinary marine creatures...then they would be even poorer.

So - "The Lingbo City Beast Taming Alliance is very careful with their money, and they want to spend every penny they can. Naturally, they want to hire a pet professor with the best cost-effectiveness to help them solve their problem."

Although Qiao Bai is very expensive.

It is two-thirds more expensive than other third-level researchers, but Lingbo City still wants to seek help from Qiao Bai.

The main point is that money should be spent wisely.

The amount of money is not the key.

The most important thing is the price/performance ratio! They use a price that is two-thirds higher than that of a normal third-level researcher to invite a pet evolution professor who actually has the ability of a second-level researcher... They are making a fortune, right? Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai silently gave a thumbs up.

These people really know what it means to save where possible and spend where possible, and they will never waste a penny.

Huangzhou analyzed all the good and bad things to Qiao Bai.

The power to go or not was handed over to Qiao Bai, and it was up to Qiao Bai to choose.

"Uncle Huang, I agree." After thinking for a while, Qiao Bai looked up at Huang Zhou and said with a smile.

reject?

Why refuse?

It's normal for the other party to be thrifty.

Qiao Bai himself is also very interested in coastal cities.

Lingbo City... After contracting the little jellyfish, Qiao Bai happened to see relevant information about this city when he was looking up coastal cities and countries.

The geographical environment is close to the sea.

城市90%的行业都依托于青晶内海，甚至他们的御兽联盟分部都建立在内海附近。

据说是为了就近监督下海的御兽师们。

预防他们对大海做出一些不好的事情来。

其次就是。

青晶内海海洋环境复杂且特殊，对于水属性超凡生物和海洋种超凡生物的生态研究具有极高的价值。

并且……那是一个非常适合小白蛇和小水母的环境。

小白蛇，水属性。

小水母……理论上来说是水属性，但是经过特殊的变异后，可以把空气当做无处不在的水，畅游在空气的海洋之中的神奇超凡生物。

乔白：微笑.jpg 可不管怎么说。

水，海洋，对于原本的种族就是处于大海深处的小水母来说，和回到了快乐老家应该没有多大的区别。

再然后就是小白蛇。

玉银蛇。

进化条件之一就是……修炼出精水。

乔白已经不想去回忆，他当初为了帮小乌修炼精火，反反复复地到底折腾了多久。

往事不堪回首。

但是在痛苦。

该来的总是要来的。

去一个整座城市都充斥着满满的水元素气息和潮湿的环境中，对小白蛇体悟、修炼精水是有益处的。

多方面迭加。

再加上出差还有钱赚，乔白自然是同意的。

黄州对乔白的选择也不感到奇怪。

是乔白会干的事情。

“行，你想去就去，我这边等会儿就去通知凌波市那边，保证他们会做好万全的安排和准备，你只要放心过去就行了。”黄州对着乔白比画了一个手势。

……

凌波市。

和阳城过年期间热火朝天，众志成城，还有加班费拿的加班不同。

凌波市御兽联盟里的氛围，稍微就有些惨淡了。

“年假没有，加班费没有，只有两个大黑眼圈子……痛苦……”

御兽联盟内横七竖八满满当当的都是人，还全都是光着膀子，赤裸着上半身，下半身只有一条泳裤、沙滩裤的人。

“问题是让我们查我们也查不出个所以然来啊……术业有专攻，我们又不是攻这一方面的。”一个高高壮壮，身上的肌肉带着一层黑色的油光的男人大声地对着天花板的方向呻吟。

“一天下水二十八次，长海马是高兴了，我身上的皮都被泡得打褶了。”

“不行了不行了，我真的不行了。”

从门进口走进来的女人听见抱怨的声音，脚步停顿了一下，然后继续走了进来。

“呵。”

冷淡中带着满满的嘲讽的声音在整个工作区域回响着。

所有人：“？”

动作整齐划一地回头朝着门口声音传来的地方看去，一扭头，一点也不意外地，看到了他们的美人会长。

短发。

肤白貌美大长腿。

眼神朦胧。

朝着某个方向看过来的时候，你会下意识地感觉她好像正在看的就是你，浑身上下更是不自觉地就跟着热血沸腾了起来。

然鹅……

知道这位会长真实性格的众人根本……咳咳，冲不了一点点，甚至在会长的眼神看过来的时候，他们的内心都是凉凉的。

“唰唰唰——”

刚才还横七竖八的众人瞬间都坐直了身体，一个腰板挺得比一个硬。

“这就虚了？”薛晴的目光落在了说话的那个黑皮壮汉身上，朦胧的眼神中带着似笑非笑的神情：“之前是谁和我说他身体好得很，就算是一夜……”

“咳咳咳！咳咳！会长我求求你了！别说了别说了的！”黑皮壮汉，也就是凌波市御兽联盟的副会长穆勒双手合十，做出一副恳求的模样，大声地喊道。

“要我现在下水吗？”

“会长你直接说哪里！我现在就冲！”

穆勒的话音刚刚落下，办公区就响起了一片愉快的笑声。

“哈哈哈——哈哈哈哈哈——”

看着笑得东倒西歪的同僚们，穆勒表情惨淡。

他能怎么办呢？

年轻的时候不懂事，嘴花花了刚来上任的会长薛晴。

薛晴没什么。

这件事情最后反倒成了他们联盟每年都会拿出来说上一嘴的，穆勒的黑历史。

穆勒：想要时光机。

回去一巴掌呼死过去那个胡说八道的自己。

可惜。

没有。

于是这个愉快的笑话就这样年年在联盟里，在新人老人的面前被拎出来遛一遛。

穆勒：愿天堂没有薛晴会长，还他朗朗乾坤和清白名声。

“行了，既然肾虚那就好好休息休息，不急着下去。”薛晴微微一笑，眼神依旧是那么的朦胧迷人，非常容易就能勾出一个人最心底的愿望。

不包括在场的任何一个人。

“恩？”穆勒都已经站起来，做好了又要去水底扎半个小时一小时的准备了，不用了？

穆勒用怀疑的目光上上下下地打量着他眼前的薛晴。

“妖魔鬼怪快离开！”

“呔！”

“大胆妖孽敢变成我们会长的模样！知道我们会长是什么品种的魔鬼吗！等会儿就把你这个小妖精给一口吃了！”

薛晴：微笑.jpg 笑容越来越核善，越来越温柔，越来越美丽，越来越……让穆勒心凉凉。

三分钟后。

穆勒整个人都虚弱地趴在地上，就像是被妖精吸干了精气神的可怜男人。

薛晴则是继续微笑着，红光满面地说道：“我知道大家这段时间为了调查沿海具体发生了什么事情，一次次的下潜都非常的疲惫，但是效率却没有想象中的那么高。”

“好在，NY市的那位乔白教授已经同意了我们的邀请，接下来就请各位听从乔白教授的派遣，不准因为乔白教授年纪小或者是看起来年轻就小瞧人家，有问题吗？”

没有没有。

在场除了已经不能动弹的穆勒以外，其他的所有人通通摇头。

没意见。

一点意见都没有。

保证让那位年轻的乔白教授感受到什么叫做宾至如归！ 不过……

“没想到那位乔白教授真的回来啊！”

有人小声地说道：“毕竟会长想要捡便宜的心思……那叫一个昭然若揭吧！”

“可不是嘛！”他身边的另外一个人也嘀嘀咕咕地小声说着：“就算这位乔白教授比较年轻，不太了解行情，但是他们NY市御兽联盟的会长总不会就眼睁睁地看着他上当吧？”

“难道是中了我们会长的美人计？”

“不不不，我们会长这种不叫美人，叫黑寡妇，真的会吃人的那种，根本没有男人能hold住的那种！”

“我觉得我们到时候有必要给小教授好好提个醒！”

“嘿嘿嘿！没关系，大家一起吃个烧烤喝个酒就是朋友了！”

“这个乔白教授应该不是个弱鸡……”

就在他们讨论在兴头上的时候，薛晴温柔的声音如晴空霹雳一般响起。

“恩？”

众人：“……”

瞬间安静。

安静得仿佛能够听到针尖掉落的声音。

薛晴微笑：“很好，要是有谁惹出事情来，我会做什么大家应该很清楚吧～”

众人：“……”

懂懂懂。

保证完美完成会长的任务！ ……

乔白从踏上了凌波市的土地，见到了专门来迎接他的御兽联盟特派工作人员后，就觉得情况逐渐变得不对劲起来。

凌波市的地理位置比较特殊，临海，温度适中，温暖中还带着点燥热。

穿着长袖长裤的乔白站在两个沙滩裤花衬衫的大汉中，看起来稍微有那么一点点的违和。

还有就是，这些人……是不是对他太过于热情了一点？ “感谢乔白教授莅临！”一个穿着短袖衬衫，下面是一条沙滩裤的男人在看到乔白的一瞬间，就“咻”的一下出现在了乔白的身前，一副讨好的模样搓手，像是抢一样从乔白的手里接过了他的行李。

乔白还想把行李拿回来，就被另外一个打扮差不多，但是多戴了一副太阳墨镜的男人半搂住肩膀，殷勤地说道：

“怎么能让您亲自来拿行李？交给我们就好了！”

两个人你一言我一语，根本没有给乔白说话的机会，就已经把乔白接下来的行程全部给安排好了。

“您只要跟我们走就行了！”

“对对对，也不用自己去订酒店！这大过年的，凌波市这边的酒店啊民宿啊全部都涨价，不划算！我们有住的地方！”

“包您满意！”

“您喝酒吗？不喝酒……也不是不行！到时候您就专门吃烧烤就行了！”

乔白：“？”

没有从这两个人的身上感受到恶意，乔白就这么跟着他们走了。

然后……

乔白看着这座伫立在海边的御兽联盟，眼神中露出了感慨的表情。

震撼。

真的有点把他震撼到了。

The tall and majestic building is located near the cliff, as if there is an abyss just one step forward, and the waves below are constantly surging and hitting the cliff.

Qiao Bai: ...It is a building with very regional characteristics.

Fortunately, it was just an optical illusion.

Once you walk in, you will find that the building of the Beast Taming Alliance is still quite a distance away from the real cliff. As long as you don't commit suicide, you won't fall off the cliff easily.

"Hello, Professor Qiao Bai." Xue Qing, wearing a beach-style holiday dress, walked towards Qiao Bai and politely extended her slender fingers to Qiao Bai: "I am the president of the Lingbo City Beast Taming Alliance, Xue Qing. It's our first meeting. Thank you very much for agreeing to our request and coming here. Thank you very much."

Her voice was gentle, yet also somewhat elusive.

Just like the impression she gives people at first sight.

Qiao Bai: “…Ahem.”

Qiao Bai's eyes wandered.

This outfit is really... The material of the beach holiday long skirt is like a layer of hazy gauze. You can vaguely see what is inside, but it is not so clear. It is the ultimate expression of the word "vague".

Inside was a bikini swimsuit.

Qiao Bai: Do you people at the beach dress like this?

There was a hint of shock in Qiao Bai's eyes.

The guys next to him shook their heads frantically to deny it.

But on second thought -

They usually seem to be shirtless and wearing swimming trunks, so there isn't much difference?

Their bodies froze in an instant.

Seeing their silence, Qiao Bai also fell silent.

Okay, okay.

There is nothing more to say.

He knew what was going on.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do...that's impossible.

Let's shift our focus to asking for help first.

"Um...you wrote it in a more written way on the document - the state of the supernatural creatures in the inland sea is chaotic, and it is suspected that there is something abnormal in the population of supernatural creatures in the ocean. I hope to ask a professional pet professor to help investigate and deal with it..." Qiao Bai repeated the situation he had summarized before.

He changed the subject: "So what exactly is going on?"

"what happened."

The sturdy men around were surprised to see that Qiao Bai, such a young man, had calmed down so quickly when he met their president for the first time.

Although...food and sex are part of human nature.

Isn’t it men’s nature to pay attention to beauty?

Even they only said this after knowing the president’s true character…it’s better not to say anything.

They thought Qiao Bai would do the same as them...but they didn't expect Qiao Bai to change the topic to business so quickly.

While they were shocked, they also felt an indescribable admiration in their hearts.

They exchanged glances with each other, and they had the same thought in their minds - this Professor Qiao Bai was definitely frigid! Or he had no interest in women!

Oh my god - if that's the case, should they worry about their own safety now?

Qiao Bai, whose sexual orientation was suddenly questioned, said: "?"

Trembling all over, Qiao Bai's steps unconsciously slowed down a bit. The familiar feeling of being persecuted came back to him, and Qiao Bai's questioning eyes swept over these people.

The strong men didn't show any expression on their faces, but the little drama in their minds was getting more and more exciting - this is it! This must be it!

Suddenly - Xue Qing turned around and met their gazes with hazy eyes.

The strong men: "..."

Cold sweat broke out all of a sudden.

The temperature on Qiao Bai's side has warmed up instead.

Qiao Bai laughed in his heart.

He had a bad feeling that he had fallen into a stupid organization and didn't know if it was too late to go back.

An environment suitable for little white snakes and little jellyfish...it's not that there aren't other more suitable places if we look around.

"Professor Qiao Bai, please take a seat." I don't know if Xue Qing saw what Qiao Bai was thinking. She spoke at the right time and interrupted Qiao Bai's thoughts.

"Let me tell you about the situation in the Qingjing Inner Sea."

As soon as Xue Qing spoke, Qiao Bai temporarily put aside his previous thoughts.

Listen and see.

You're here now.

Take another look at these strong men who are so honest in front of Xue Qing, there shouldn't be any big problem, right?

"You say." Qiao Bai looked at Xue Qing.

"It's like this." Xue Qing crossed her hands and first talked about the situation in the Qingjing Inner Sea.

The Qingjing Inland Sea is the second largest inland sea in China. It is close to several cities, Lingbo City being one of them.

There are not only a large number of ordinary fish in the Qingjing Inner Sea, but also a large number of extraordinary creatures. The closer to the city, the fewer extraordinary creatures there are, and the deeper you go, the more extraordinary creatures there will be.

This rule has not changed in the past few decades or even decades.

This has formed the unique ecology of the coastal areas of Lingbo City.

Just like there are large and small stalls inside the city walls of the forbidden land, there are also large and small fishing boats along the coastal edge of the Qingjing Inner Sea, and most of them are ordinary people.

The stronger beastmasters and fishermen went directly out to sea.

As for the fishermen near the coast, under the close care, supervision and protection of the Beast Taming Alliance, basically no major problems will occur. Occasionally, one or two extraordinary creatures will approach the coast, and they will be promptly dealt with by the people of the Beast Taming Alliance as soon as they are discovered.

However.

"Since the end of October, which was the best fishing season last year, more and more extraordinary creatures have invaded the coastal areas. From less than ten per month before, it has become one per day, and then two per day..."
