"It's a pleasure working with you." Qiao Bai smiled.

You is so funny... It's so funny, I can't even laugh.

Take a deep breath.

Youke was thinking about how he had wanted to cooperate from the very beginning. It would have been best if he could lower the price as much as possible. If that wasn't possible, he would just give a reasonable price. He had come to where he is now step by step.

Take a look at the agreement between two people.

She is simply giving away the profit.

A considerable amount of resources of various attributes are given.

The only thing that made Youke feel fortunate was that the Red Earth City Beast Taming Alliance was wealthy enough.

Otherwise, she would not be able to meet Qiao Bai's needs.

Fortunately, in the end she also got a certain amount and size of red minerals from Qiao Bai, one large and two small ones.

That should be enough research, right?

Yuke thought uncertainly.

Then she took another deep breath.

No no no.

It must be researched. As long as there is a glimmer of possibility, this red mineral can be made into a new flagship product in the forbidden land of red soil.

Although Qiao Bai didn't know exactly what Youke was thinking, he at least had a rough idea of ​​it.

He silently lit a candle in his heart for the newly appointed president of the Red Earth City Beast Taming Alliance.

It's not like he was deliberately trying to trick her or anything.

But... "I have to say in advance that this red mineral can probably only be found near that special space mountain range."

Qiao Bai did not hide his experience from others, so You Ke naturally understood what he was talking about.

"It's okay." You Ke waved his hand and carefully collected the three red minerals.

"As long as we are sure that it is of great use and was indeed found in the forbidden land of red soil, that is enough."

Listening to Qiao Bai's sincere words, Youke finally showed a faint smile on his face.

Qiao Bai: “…”

OK.

Understand.

In fact, he really didn't want to understand the thoughts of these unscrupulous businessmen.

…

"You're quite busy here." Ning Ruxue looked at You Ke, whose face was flushed with joy as he got what he wanted and left Qiao Bai's ward in high spirits. She walked in and said with amusement.

Qiao Bai waved his hand: "It's just normal cooperation, it's nothing."

Ning Ruxue: “…”

To most people, it was outrageous news that Qiao Bai, a pet professor, could cooperate with the newly appointed president of the alliance in Hongtu City.

But Ning Ruxue didn't come here to talk about this.

"You're almost well now. You can leave at any time." She came to inform Qiao Bai.

Previously, Red Earth City was blocked, making entry and exit difficult.

Now it's finally back to normal.

Ning Ruxue was afraid that Qiao Bai would be in a hurry to go back, so she came to tell him specifically.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Bai's expression looked very calm, and he didn't seem anxious at all.

Ning Ruxue: “?”

"no?"

"Did you forget something?"

Qiao Bai also looked at Ning Ruxue with a puzzled look.

"Is there?"

Qiao Bai blinked.

"I haven't had any problems lately...right?" As he spoke, Qiao Bai revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Before Ning Ruxue could feel relieved, she heard Qiao Bai continue speaking.

"I remember now, the official competition of the Extraordinary Biological Care Competition seems to be about to start, right?" Qiao Bai nodded and said, "I have a friend who wants to participate, and I have agreed to go and watch."

Unexpectedly, all in all, the affairs of the Fourth Legion plus the affairs in Red Earth City took up nearly a month of his time.

I guess I won’t be able to make it in time for the preliminary round.

I don’t know whether Lin Weiwei has entered the official competition.

Ning Ruxue fell silent again.

There was an awkward atmosphere in the air.

certainly.

Qiao Bai himself did not feel this special atmosphere at all.

What? Embarrassing?

He wasn't embarrassed at all.

He even felt that his current condition was very good, extremely good, and couldn't be better.

You can be ready to summon Lightyear Dragon Knight at any time and then go home.

"...You really don't take your own affairs to heart at all." Ning Ruxue sighed helplessly: "Have you forgotten that your award ceremony is less than a month away."

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

Then he really showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I remember now."

Newcomer Award! Qiao Bai nodded, but the change in his expression was not even as exciting as when he remembered his friend was going to participate in the competition.

Ning Ruxue felt helpless when she saw Qiao Bai like this.

What to say?

Just ask her what to say when facing such a Qiao Bai?

"Prepare well, at least think about your acceptance speech in advance." Ning Ruxue suggested very sincerely.

Qiao Bai's eyes once again revealed great confusion and bewilderment.

"Award-winning...speech?"

"What is that? Why is there an acceptance speech?"

"Isn't it that once the prizes and certificates are handed out, the matter is over?"

Listening to Qiao Bai's words, Ning Ruxue really felt deeply suffocated this time.

"Although... Professor Qiao Bai, may I ask if you have not heard of the Dai's New Pet Professor Award at all?"

Qiao Bai gave Ning Ruxue a look that said "this isn't something that should be taken for granted."

Ning Ruxue pursed her lips.

Close your eyes and open them again.

Don't be angry, don't be angry.

What's there to be angry about? Isn't this a normal thing?

It was not the first day that she knew what kind of person Qiao Bai was. At most, she felt that Qiao Bai's train of thought was sometimes too weird.

But most geniuses have all kinds of bad habits.

Someone like Qiao Bai... should be considered normal.

At least Qiao Bai is very normal most of the time.

After telling herself repeatedly, Ning Ruxue's expression returned to being indifferent.

kindness.

Not surprised at all.

But she still explained the process to Qiao Bai in detail.

"There are very few beastmasters who can receive this award."

"Although this award is here, it does not mean that a corresponding beast pet professor will be selected every year. If there is no suitable candidate who can satisfy the judges, it can be directly left as a bye."

“Just like before you, there were several byes in a row.”

"The ceremony for the Dai's New Pet Professor Award will be a grand one. There will be no less than a hundred journalists from the news media reporting on the event, and some necessary procedures will not be omitted."

At the award ceremony, Qiao Bai will be promoted to a second-level researcher.

It’s one thing for Qiao Bai to care.

Leaving that little surprise for Qiao Bai is another matter.

Qiao Bai, who didn't know what Ning Ruxue was thinking, touched his chin after hearing this: "Tsk, it sounds like a bit of trouble!"

Ning Ruxue no longer wanted to communicate with Qiao Bai.

pity.

When I thought about Qiao Bai not knowing anything and not preparing anything, and attending the awards ceremony with such an attitude...

asphyxia.

Ning Ruxue felt suffocated in advance.

"That's right." While Ning Ruxue was still thinking about whether to change the topic, Qiao Bai had already taken the initiative.

"That mountain in the forbidden land of red soil...what on earth is going on?"

It’s not that Qiao Bai didn’t ask before.

In fact, Qiao Bai just remembered this matter.

Through the "angel", Qiao Bai became quite clear about the true meaning of the mountain.

The problem is that Qiao Bai probably doesn't know, and if a normal person encounters a real secret place, they will be curious, right? I forgot to ask before.

I also haven't found a suitable person to ask.

With Ning Ruxue here, Qiao Bai doesn't have to bother two people with the same thing.

"Um..." Ning Ruxue had long guessed that Qiao Bai would ask, but she didn't expect Qiao Bai to ask at this time.

After thinking for a while, Ning Ruxue finally told the news she had prepared long ago: "In fact, we don't know the situation of that mountain range either. We have never seen it before."

"But there is indeed a precedent for a forbidden area containing another space or secret realm."

"You can understand that there were once very powerful extraordinary creatures in this forbidden land. Because of their excessive strength, the energy they released before death could even break time and space and form a new space."

"The conditions in the space formed are also very special."

Ning Ruxue paused here.

Now that it's out, Qiao Bai knows it all: "Before the Red Earth Forbidden Land appeared, there were only two such forbidden places with embedded secrets in the country. We have already discovered the rules for one of them. It will open once every ten years. There are a lot of special resources inside, and there are only two years left before the next opening."

"The other one is more dangerous. So far, its specific rules have not been explored. The forbidden area where the secret realm is located has also been marked as a high-risk attribute."

Listening to Ning Ruxue's words, Qiao Bai immediately thought of the deal he had made with You Ke before.

Good job.

Loss.

No wonder he asked for such a high price. Youke finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

Just ask why such a great temptation appeared on one of the three acres of land at home.

Who wouldn’t be tempted? Although only one of the two “secret places” in China has been fully explored, the other one is relatively dangerous.

But as long as there are benefits, there will be a steady stream of people who will be tempted and come for it.

If I knew that there were resources in the "secret realm" that were more precious than red ore...

Qiao Bai: Hey!

regret!

I want to call President Youke back to renegotiate the price! Ning Ruxue looked at Qiao Bai's regretful expression, and a bit of confusion appeared on her face.

kindness……

In other words, is there such a huge difference between her and today's young people in terms of purchasing agents?

Otherwise, why didn't she understand what Qiao Bai was thinking? ...

Didn't stay in Red Earth City for long.

After making sure that the matter was over, Qiao Bai directly booked the fastest Lightyear Dragon Rider and returned to...NY City at lightning speed.

Yes.

Qiao Bai did not return to Blue Bird University, he returned to NY City.

"After taking a walk outside, I found that home is still the best." Qiao Bai said sincerely.

In this world, Qiao Bai has no family, and he has never considered NY City as his hometown before.

Whether it is NY City or Jinyang City, they seem to mean the same to Qiao Bai.

But after finishing so many things, when it came to "going home", the first place Qiao Bai thought of was NY City.

He has his own house here.

A research institute of its own.

A team of your own.

and first memories.

After simply releasing his emotions about life, Qiao Bai decisively returned to NY City.

The people who are happiest about Qiao Bai's return are the scientific researchers in Qiao Bai's laboratory.

"Professor Qiao Bai, you are finally back!"

"How's it going? Are there any new jobs for us?"

Several people rushed out and surrounded Qiao Bai.

Everyone looked at Qiao Bai with sparkling eyes, and their words were full of desire and expectation for work.

Qiao Bai: “?”

no?

Are you sure these people are okay?

The researchers surrounding Qiao Bai: No problem! It must be no problem!

The days when Professor Qiao Bai was away, there was no work, no research, and no new evolutionary routes for them to prove. It was so boring!

I don't feel at ease with this salary!

In particular, the Internet is flooded with legends related to Qiao Bai.

Look at Qiao Bai, who is already a level three researcher but is still working hard to improve himself and complete various difficult tasks.

Look at them, they are paid by Qiao Bai and stay in the laboratory doing nothing every day...

Suddenly I felt so guilty.

Qiao Bai understood their logic: "..."

It can’t be said that there is no reason at all.

"Don't worry, you will be busy someday." Qiao Bai waved his hand: "It just so happens that I will be staying in NY City for a few more days, so there will be work for you."

After hearing this, instead of showing any expression of being exploited, everyone nodded repeatedly.

OK, OK, OK.

Okay, okay, okay.

Professor Qiao Bai casually ordered them to fight wherever he pointed, and he made sure that they would not delay the task given by Professor Qiao Bai at all! Then Qiao Bai turned around and saw Cheng Liang and an unfamiliar lady in his research institute.

Qiao Bai blinked and looked at Cheng Liang.

Cheng Liang looked at Qiao Bai with enthusiasm in his eyes, but he did not take the initiative to step forward and greet Qiao Bai.

It is one thing for two people to know each other privately, and it is another thing for them to have a subordinate relationship at work.

Even if I really want to chat with Qiao Bai, it’s not now.

After briefly chatting with the researchers, Qiao Bai walked towards his lounge.

An Qing looked at Qiao Bai's receding back, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

"Professor Qiao Bai is really amazing." An Qing said from the bottom of his heart.

Cheng Liang nodded frantically: "That's right! So joining Professor Qiao Bai's laboratory is the best choice!"

An Qing was silent for two seconds.

This is not the case, right? The professor is too good, so there is no room for them to show their talents.

But... An Qing thought about the rumors on the Internet that were related to Qiao Bai. She didn't know if they were exaggerated facts and news, but she suddenly understood.

Why are foreigners targeting Professor Qiao Bai?

The light of genius can never be concealed.
