Thinking about the research results in Qiao Bai's hands... Shen Ruowan shut up.

Okay.

It’s Qiao Bai’s money, so just spend it happily.

In this matter, Fu Tianguang is more open-minded: "As long as I am happy with the purchase!"

"And I heard that Qiao Bai's sixth sense is pretty powerful, right? Maybe this is something that can really be useful to Qiao Bai's pet?"

"Eight million is quite cheap!"

Shen Ruowan suddenly understood.

Yes.

I almost forgot.

Qiao Bai also has a very famous sixth sense.

Maybe... Shen Ruowan glanced at her sister, and felt a little guilty.

Shen Ruoyan and Shen Ruowan looked at each other and immediately understood what her sister was thinking. She waved her hand without caring much and said, "I just think this thing is interesting and pretty."

"It's not a bad idea to buy it as a decoration, but at eight million, I'd really hesitate!"

Shen Ruoyan said sincerely.

Just because the Shen family is rich doesn't mean she can spend money recklessly.

If I say I want to spend eight million to buy a suitable pet, my family will definitely have no objection and I will just use the public account.

But if you want to spend eight million to buy an ornament... haha, you can only use your own piggy bank.

It’s useless even if Mr. Shen is their biological grandfather.

As for whether the small treasury can afford it... Shen Ruoyan showed a helpless expression on her face.

Why.

It’s better not to say anything.

Having money and having money in hand are two different things! On the other hand, Qiao Bai doesn't have much industry... The mechanical pet manufacturing industry has not yet been fully opened, but Qiao Bai does have money in his hands, and it's all real liquid funds.

It is many times more than that of people of the same age.

Listening to the conversation between the few people, Qiao Bai smiled and said, "Sixth sense... It's okay to say that. Let's see. Anyway, I think it's worth buying it."

"But how do I use this thing..."

Qiao Bai wiped the fragments with a tissue and held them in his hand, examining and rubbing them repeatedly.

It is estimated that the complete thing should be a four or five-inch disc, about five or six centimeters thick, and the edge should be a little higher.

Qiao Bai touched his chin.

“I’m still quite confused.”

Qiao Bai told the truth. He bought it, but didn't know how to use it.

"Maybe it's just like what the stall owner said, it depends on fate."

When the opportunity comes, you will know it naturally.

Shen Ruowan: “…”

I want to complain, but I don’t know where to start. What should I say?

"...Maybe, your life has some flavor of the protagonist in it. Maybe one day you will know how to use this thing." Shen Ruowan said it without complaining, but it was better than complaining.

Qiao Bai laughed: "I'll borrow your good words."

Qiao Bai was quite satisfied with the harvest from today's market.

After staying at the Shen family for another day, Qiao Bai took some time in the afternoon to go to the market alone.

It's quite ordinary.

Not as interesting as in the morning.

Qiao Bai sighed.

Okay.

That was considered a lucky break in the morning. It was great to be lucky once, but the possibility of getting lucky again is really not very high.

the next day.

Qiao Bai returned to Jinyang City with a lot of baggage.

“Yo!”

"Busy man!"

When Zhou Xinran saw Qiao Bai early in the morning, she showed a surprised expression.

It was really surprising and astonishing.

"I am an honorary professor at Blue Bird University after all, so it's normal for me to come back."

As soon as Qiao Bai finished speaking, he turned around and saw Zhou Xinran looking at him quietly, and continued to look at him.

Qiao Bai: “…”

"Okay, I'll finish my course assignments while I'm at it. I don't plan to come to school for a long time." Qiao Bai said again.

This time Zhou Xinran didn't stare at Qiao Bai anymore, obviously believing it.

The corners of Qiao Bai's mouth twitched: "No?"

"What kind of image do you have of me?"

It wasn't his illusion. Qiao Bai felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his external reputation?

"What else could it be?" Zhou Xinran crossed his arms, standing tall and proud. "It's probably the standard image of a genius. Apart from himself and his research, he doesn't care about other interpersonal relationships, social conventions, etc.!"

Qiao Bai was silent.

Qiao Bai frowned.

"Wait?" Qiao Bai noticed something: "Are you sure you're not comparing it to what I said?"

"What kind of genius image is this?"

"It's not that bad!"

Zhou Xinran: “…”

Zhou Xinran rolled her eyes at Qiao Bai.

It’s OK to have some idea of ​​what kind of person you are?

Hearing this, Qiao Bai smacked his lips, his expression very calm.

What? Embarrassing?

No no no.

It doesn't exist at all.

Qiao Bai would never be embarrassed by such things.

Zhou Xinran said that he was a person who did things his own way, and there was some truth to that.

Qiao Bai is a person who never wastes time on internal conflicts and he has a very strong spirit.

Moreover, Qiao Bai knew very well that when the pressure accumulated to a certain level, he should go crazy and kill others in a reasonable way.

Instead of wasting time on internal friction, why don't we all feel his pain together!

Qiao Bai: As a person, you should be nicer to yourself! Fortunately, Zhou Xinran didn't know what Qiao Bai was thinking, otherwise she would have rolled her eyes at Qiao Bai.

"Hmm..." Qiao Bai put his left hand on his chin, pondered for a moment and said: "In this case...I will prepare an open class when school starts soon?"

As he spoke, Qiao Bai looked at Zhou Xinran.

Zhou Xinran was stunned for a moment, then she realized what Qiao Bai meant.

"If it's you, it's not impossible." Looking at Qiao Bai, Zhou Xinran's eyes showed some understanding.

"You're definitely not planning on teaching next semester, right?"

Qiao Bai smiled slightly.

Some things don't need to be said so clearly.

Everything is implied.

"I'm preparing for the National Beast Tamer Competition." Facing Zhou Xinran, Qiao Bai still explained that.

Zhou Xinran's mouth twitched.

But there was no trace of strangeness on his face.

Unlike those people who wanted to persuade Qiao Bai after hearing what he said, Zhou Xinran and Qiao Bai had known each other for a long time.

What kind of personality does Qiao Bai have... Zhou Xinran didn't say she knew it 100%, but she probably knew the situation.

Once Qiao Bai has made a decision, he will not listen to other people's opinions and make adjustments.

This can be considered as a notification rather than a discussion.

"Think about it carefully. With your current strength, it is not impossible for you to give it a try." After a moment of silence, Zhou Xinran nodded and said in a fairly calm tone.

Qiao Bai smiled and glanced at Zhou Xinran, then raised his hand towards her: "I know you understand me."

"Hmph." Zhou Xinran snorted lightly, but still reached out and slapped Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai put down his hand, took two steps, dragged two chairs over, and the two of them sat down.

Zhou Xinran glanced at Qiao Bai.

I found that when Qiao Bai did this move, it didn't look frivolous at all, but instead had an indescribable sense of ease and comfort.

Qiao Bai's body movements were very relaxed: "I definitely don't have time for a large class, so I have to prepare for at least ten or twenty class hours."

As he spoke, Qiao Bai looked at Zhou Xinran again.

Zhou Xinran got Qiao Bai's train of thought: "..."

Zhou Xinran looked angry and said, "That was an elective class!"

"Say no more!"

"You teach very well, don't you?"

She is not irresponsible! Absolutely not!

Zhou Xinran would never admit it! Qiao Bai nodded repeatedly.

Hmmmm and ahhh sounds are made from the nasal cavity.

I understand. I understand.

Hmmmm.

That's right.

Zhou Xinran was furious.

In the end, he could only roll his eyes at Qiao Bai again.

"That's what it is." Qiao Bai decisively skipped the topic.

No need to elaborate.

Those who understand will understand.

Qiao Bai said calmly: "But I can open an open class at the beginning of the new school year. Students who are willing to come can directly sign up and enter."

"It just happens to cover my classes for the new school year."

Zhou Xinran chuckled.

"You make it sound so easy." Zhou Xinran swore that she had absolutely no problem with Qiao Bai. She just thought that Qiao Bai's thoughts might be too simple.

"Indeed, you are amazing and very famous in the field of pet evolution research."

"If you teach normally, there will definitely be a lot of students who want to take your class."

"But if it's just an open class, how can you be competitive and have alternatives?"

Zhou Xinran paused as he spoke.

She thought silently in her heart.

All right.

Actually, it is not impossible.

After all, Qiao Bai is not just a little famous for his research on pet evolution, but extremely famous! As long as Qiao Bai's name and brand are used, it will definitely attract many people to watch. That level of fame! But...

Zhou Xinran's worries are not completely unfounded.

Ever since Qiao Bai became an honorary professor at Blue Bird University, there have been many more students applying for Blue Bird University's pet research program this year, including some talented students who have already gained some fame.

Are they coming for her, Zhou Xinran?

never mind.

It was hard for Qiao Bai to say whether he had any idea about it or not.

But Zhou Xinran is definitely very aware of his own abilities.

These people could only be coming for Qiao Bai.

They want to take Qiao Bai's class and learn from Qiao Bai.

However, Qiao Bai did not plan to start classes at all, he only planned to hold an open class... These students who came for Qiao Bai would definitely not want to be fooled like this.

It's just an open class.

Wouldn't it be better for them to wait until the open class is over and then go directly to the official campus website to watch the recording?

Why did they give up the recommendations and recruitment of better schools and come here from thousands of miles away?

Zhou Xinran thought a lot.

She didn't want to put pressure on Qiao Bai.

But he also didn't want Qiao Bai's reputation to suffer a blow because of this kind of thing.

Zhou Xinran thought a lot in her mind, but on the surface, she only took a few moments to think.

With a turn of his eyes, Zhou Xinran looked at Qiao Bai silently and quietly, as if waiting for an answer from Qiao Bai.

Although Zhou Xinran did not express her worries and concerns.

But just by looking at Zhou Xinran's expression, Qiao Bai understood everything.

Qiao Bai felt a little warm in his heart.

"Don't worry, I'm prepared." Qiao Bai smiled calmly again. Not only was he not worried at all, he also comforted Zhou Xinran.

There were so many question marks on Zhou Xinran’s head that they were about to overflow.

Qiao Bai still had a smiling look on his face.

Zhou Xinran: “…”

"Okay." Zhou Xinran sighed, not expecting Qiao Bai, the great riddle man, to say anything.

Since Qiao Bai said so... then Qiao Bai must have a plan... right?

at last.

Zhou Xinran still felt a little worried.

…

Summer vacation is gone in a flash.

Soon it is the time for all colleges and universities to start a new school year.

Old students return to school.

New students are admitted.

All the schools are bustling with activity.

This year's Bluebird University is particularly lively.

"That's it. Have you heard about it?"

"I heard it! You're talking as if no one hadn't heard the news!"

"Hey... Professor Qiao, this is really... how can I put it? Is this the legendary genius temper?"

"You can't say that, right? I think Professor Qiao is a pretty good person!"

"But this open class matter..."

"Wait wait?! No? What are you guys talking about? Why do I feel like I've entered some large-scale Riddler event? I don't understand a word you said!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the person who spoke last.

Take a look at the notice in the other person's hand...Oh, not surprising at all, it's for the combat department.

"It's not possible that a combat department member didn't hear anything about this, right? It's such a big thing!"

Someone murmured quietly.

The student who just started talking, that is to say, who didn't understand anything and seemed to have participated in a large-scale riddle-solving activity, was Chen Qiming, who was the combat-type beastmaster who enrolled this year.

Chen Qiming twitched his ears, scratched his head with his backhand when he heard the words, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his honest face.

"Well, I was admitted from a rural town... My family wasn't well off, and my grades were just barely good enough to get into our school. During the summer vacation, I was training pets, going up mountains and down rivers..."

"I don't know much about the news at school..."

Other freshmen: “…”

Everyone once again looked at Chen Qiming at the same time.

But this time, everyone looked at him differently.

There is a bit of encouragement mixed with sympathy.

Look at what Chen Qiming is wearing and the luggage he is carrying... It can’t be said to be very bad, but it’s certainly not much better.

There are state and union subsidies.

However, the subsidy can only allow underage beast masters to live an ordinary life.

Not to mention that being a beastmaster is a very expensive profession.

"It's amazing to be admitted to Blue Bird University!" The person who had been whispering before stood up embarrassedly, gave Chen Qiming a thumbs up, and said comfortingly.

"By the way, my name is Ma Bai, and I'm a freshman in the Department of Pet Evolution Research."

"We are discussing Professor Qiao." Ma Bai paused and said, "Professor Qiao Bai, you know that, right?"

At the end of his speech, there was a hint of uncertainty in Ma Bai's tone.
