His father was a beastmaster and his mother was a level five researcher, neither of them was that great.

Under the influence of his parents, Ma Bai was discovered to have some talent.

Whether it's taming beasts or doing research on pet evolution, he is a little more talented than his parents.

Originally, Ma Bai had to decide which path to take when he was in his second year of high school.

The experience of countless predecessors has proven this.

If you want both, the future will not be bright.

Then Qiao Bai appeared out of nowhere.

Unparalleled talent in pet evolution research.

He is also a strong beastmaster.

Ma Bai, who has both the talent for taming beasts and the interest in studying the evolution of pet beasts, suddenly got excited and gritted his teeth and decided to follow Qiao Bai's footsteps - double cultivation! Qiao Bai can do it.

He can too!

It’s just that he’s not as good as Qiao Bai!

It doesn't matter! He spent twice as much time and energy as Qiao Bai, and he tried his best! For this reason, Ma Bai specially came to Blue Bird University from other cities, just to get close to Qiao Bai and learn more knowledge and experience from him.

Unexpectedly...

As soon as the school starts, we have to face the situation that Qiao Bai will not teach any classes and there will only be one open class this year.

Ma Bai was somewhat angry.

Intellectually, we know that this cannot be entirely blamed on Qiao Bai. Qiao Bai is only an honorary professor of Blue Bird University, and his name is not originally on the list of lecturers.

But emotionally... Ma Bai took a deep breath and kept persuading himself in his heart.

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

Hadn't he thought of this situation a long time ago? But...but...well, he had thought there were "buts", "maybes", "possibly", "ifs" before.

Therefore, when he saw that Chen Qiming knew nothing just now, Ma Bai couldn't control his inner anger and his tone was a little aggressive.

Then I heard what Chen Qiming said.

Ma Bai's mood is very complicated now.

If Ma Bai were to describe it, it would be to the point where he would wake up and slap himself in the face in the middle of the night.

“Ohhhh!”

What Ma Bai didn't expect was that when Chen Qiming heard Qiao Bai's name, his eyes instantly lit up and his whole face looked exceptionally radiant.

"I know!"

"Professor Qiao Bai! And Professor Zhou Xinran!"

"They are all my great benefactors!"

Chen Qiming wanted to wave his fist excitedly, but since both hands were carrying luggage, he could only wave his fist.

But everyone around him could feel the gratitude radiating from Chen Qiming from the inside out.

It’s true.

honest.

"My pet is a honey bug!"

"Then I evolved into a fairy butterfly, and I was able to get into Blue Bird University! I am so grateful to these two professors!"

As he said that, Chen Qiming released his fairy butterfly.

A beautiful, dreamy fairy butterfly lightly landed on Chen Qiming's shoulder.

The looks of the students around him looking at Chen Qiming became complicated again.

Well...how should I put it?

Most of the freshmen who gathered together to discuss Qiao Bai's open class were students from the Department of Pet Evolution Research.

They wouldn't say 100%, but at least 80% of them were targeting Qiao Bai.

So the discussion was particularly intense and exciting.

There are those who understand, those who criticize... there are all kinds of voices, and everyone's voices and ideas are different.

But what he said was the hope that Professor Qiao Bai could add as many classes as possible.

Just a few classes!

This is responsibility!

It's my duty! As I spoke, I became more and more excited.

All kinds of indignation.

It seemed as if Qiao Bai not taking extra classes was a heinous crime, and if there was no other way, they would jointly write a petition to the school!

Since more and more people are expressing the same opinion, the school should take it seriously, right?

Until they saw the fairy butterfly released by Chen Qiming.

They suddenly became quiet again.

Ma Bai was silent for a long time as he looked at the fairy butterfly that was staying on Chen Qiming and interacting very intimately with Chen Qiming.

"Actually..." After thinking for a while, Ma Bai said, "Compared to teaching us, the time Professor Qiao Bai saves would be more valuable if he could study more evolutionary routes for pets, right?"

The freshmen around him didn't say anything.

The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment.

The thick-skinned Chen Qiming didn't realize anything was wrong. He rubbed the fairy butterfly happily and looked at Ma Bai with sparkling eyes.

"Why?"

"Student, please continue. What happened to Professor Qiao Bai?"

Facing Chen Qiming's eager eyes, Ma Bai's heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Um... this..."

Ma Bai wanted to say something but stopped.

Ma Bai felt guilty.

Ma Bai looked at the other students and signaled them with his eyes - someone come out and explain it to them! Then, not surprisingly,

Everyone looked away.

Resolutely not to look Ma Bai in the eye.

Ma Bai: “…”

Fuck! Where is the friendship between us? Others: None! Not at all! Don’t talk nonsense!

And doesn’t it seem that Ma Baihe and Chen Qiming are having a good chat?

Don't let them join.

This is good, isn’t it?

Ma Bai rolled his eyes at the group of people.

Then Ma Bai turned and looked at Chen Qiming.

Facing Chen Qiming's bright and trusting eyes, Ma Bai's little heart still skipped a beat.

"Well... it's like this. Professor Qiao seems to be planning to hold an open class this year, and we all feel a little..." Ma Bai paused.

Although Chen Qiming is a little silly, it doesn't mean that he is completely incapable of thinking.

"Oh!" Chen Qiming showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "I know! I understand!"

"Everyone thinks that Professor Qiao Bai is amazing. They definitely hope that Professor Qiao Bai can offer more classes. We should learn from him!"

Ma Bai nodded repeatedly.

Right! Right, right! That's what I mean! Chen Qiming chuckled: "It's a pity that I have no talent in pet evolution research, otherwise I heard that this industry is also very popular after graduation..."

Cough cough.

The topic has gone off track.

Chen Qiming shook his head, stopped talking about those messy topics, and then looked at Ma Bai again and spoke.

"But Professor Qiao Bai is not a serious teacher in the school, it seems like that?"

Everyone: “…”

Well...how should I put it?

That's exactly what happened.

But this is not...

"Professor Qiao Bai is a genius! Compared to teaching, Professor Qiao Bai must prefer his own research!" Chen Qiming said sincerely without any feeling that he was stabbing him in the back.

Merely saying it is not enough.

Chen Qiming started to make gestures with the sound of hehe.

"Maybe Professor Qiao Bai is that kind of research maniac?" Chen Qiming was carrying his luggage and waving his arms dazzlingly.

"Like the ones in the TV movies?"

Listening to Chen Qiming's words and watching his vivid gestures, those who had never met Qiao Bai in person but had only watched some of his live and recorded broadcasts couldn't help but have a strange image of Qiao Bai in their minds.

kindness……

"When is the open class?"

"I want to go and listen, too, can I?"

After Chen Qiming led other people astray, he didn't realize it at all and continued to look at Ma Bai with those sparkling eyes.

Ma Bai: “…”

Ma Bai was in a very complicated mood. He took a deep breath and with great difficulty packed up and threw out of his mind all the weird things that Chen Qiming had instilled in him.

"The open class will be held the day after tomorrow, and students from all departments can attend." Ma Bai answered Chen Qiming's question: "But there should be a lot of people who want to go, so it will be difficult to grab a seat."

"You just have to be mentally prepared."

Chen Qiming raised his thumbs up while holding his luggage with difficulty, and said confidently with a big toothy smile: "I'm good at grabbing seats!"

"I learned this from snatching discounted items from the old men and women in town when I was a kid!"

Listening to Chen Qiming's words, Ma Bai at this time had not yet realized how powerful this skill was.

Until two days later.

Ma Bai got up early and went out at 6:30, hoping to get a closer seat. He arrived in front of the auditorium.

Then I was shocked by the scenes inside and outside.

"No?!" Looking at the huge crowd that looked like a swarm of locusts, Ma Bai's face was filled with disbelief.

“Are there so many people at this time?”

“Is this true or false?”

"Doesn't the open class have to wait until nine o'clock?"

Ma Bai almost roared out loud.

Nine o'clock!

The open class starts at 9 o'clock! There are so many people at 6:30, what's the purpose?

God! The person standing in front of Ma Bai, after hearing what Ma Bai said, turned around and looked at him with a look of sympathy.

"You are absolutely right. That's very well said. I thought the same thing ten minutes ago."

Don't ask.

To ask is to despair.

Ma Bai: “…”

It's really desperate.

"How many people are there..." Ma Bai murmured, "Can I still squeeze into the auditorium successfully?"

What if they were too far away to hear him? The more Ma Bai thought about it, the more desperate he felt.

"Hey! Who said it wasn't true!" The person in front sighed and started talking to Ma Bai: "The school should have anticipated this situation a long time ago. In my opinion, the school should just rent a stadium for Professor Qiao Bai to hold concerts!"

"Otherwise we won't be able to sit down!"

Ma Bai was stunned.

Ma Bai was in deep thought.

After a moment, Ma Bai nodded solemnly: "What you said makes sense!"

Ma Bai introduced himself: "What's your name, sir?"

"You're welcome, Sima Wen. Maybe we were one family hundreds of years ago." Sima Wen, who was standing in front of Ma Bai, said with a smile.

Ma Bai nodded: "Indeed!"

Others who happened to hear this conversation nearby: "..."

It's outrageous.

There is still a little difference between Sima and Ma, right?

It’s not like having the same character in the name means it’s the same surname!

However, Ma Bai and Sima Wen hit it off right away and they had a great time chatting.

"It's definitely an exaggeration to say there are over ten thousand people, but I'd say there are three to five thousand, or even more." Sima Wen glanced at the people who were already queuing, and then counted those who hadn't arrived yet.

This number is really not an exaggeration at all.

But when Ma Bai heard it, he still felt that he couldn't understand it.

"There aren't as many people in the four grades of our school's Pet Evolution Research Department combined, right?" Ma Bai's voice was filled with incomprehensible emotions.

Normally speaking.

For this kind of open class, even for students of the major, the attendance rate will not be 100%.

In the absence of coercion, 40 to 50 percent is considered a lot.

Plus, since the seniors weren’t coming, it would have been reasonable to assume that the auditorium would have been able to accommodate everyone.

Sima Wen agreed with Ma Bai's words: "But."

Ma Bai paused.

Just know.

There is definitely a but.

"But the prerequisite is that the person who teaches the open class is not Professor Qiao Bai." Sima Wen continued, he turned back and looked at Ma Bai: "Just tell me, are you interested in Professor Qiao Bai's open class?"

Ma Bai: “…”

cough.

have.

Definitely.

A must have!

When it comes to other people’s open classes, Ma Bai is not so active.

But who cares about this being Professor Qiao Bai’s open class?

In the pet evolution research industry, Qiao Bai's name is considered a semi-golden signboard.

Qiao Bai has only been in this industry for less than two years!

Just two years!

Just ask who would not be curious and interested in Professor Qiao Bai’s open class.

Anyone who has time available would like to come and have a look!

“Moreover, Professor Qiao Bai’s open classes have no restrictions on majors, and he doesn’t even mind people from other schools coming to listen.” Sima Wen gave Ma Bai a look that said “you know”.

Ma Bai: I understand! I must understand this!

In Jinyang City alone, there are two first-class universities.

Not to mention second-tier universities and some technical colleges.

As long as they want to come, they can come. Professor Qiao Bai’s open classes do not have these restrictions.

As I said, as long as they want to come, listen and learn, Qiao Bai treats them equally.

The light in Ma Bai's eyes was about to disappear.

“…I really don’t think I can sit in today.”

Sima Wen also sighed slightly: "That's not the case, you just have to wait in line."

"The auditorium of Bluebird University is quite large, and there is a second floor inside, but it is usually not open. The school probably really didn't expect so many people to come, so they are urgently cleaning it up."

"We should be able to get in if we wait a bit."

Sima Wen nodded, looking very well-informed.

Ma Bai, who had just arrived at the school and knew nothing about the school facilities and buildings, showed a relieved expression when he heard this.

"Wait, it's okay! As long as there's a seat and I can hear Professor Qiao Bai's class, these things won't be a problem!"

Just like Sima Wen said.

Didn't have to wait too long.

After more than twenty minutes, almost half an hour, the line outside the auditorium finally started moving again.

Ma Bai followed the team closely.

It was almost his turn.

Ma Bai poked his head out and took a look inside.

Crowded with people.

The seats were crowded with people. Ma Bai, who had already put his mind at ease, couldn't help but feel nervous again.

"It won't be that bad, will it?"

"It's almost our turn and there's no room left?"

Sima Wen also took a look and said, "Probably not."
