A question mark appeared over Huangzhou’s head.
Research?
What kind of research could Qiao Bai have? But thinking of the crucial help Qiao Bai had given to the evolution of the honey bug, Huang Zhou became interested again: "You talk, I listen."
"It's like this. After discovering the evolution of honey bugs, I had some personal ideas about the evolution of pets, and with the help of my friends, I began to try to study new routes for the evolution of pets." Qiao Bai dropped a big bomb on Huangzhou right from the start.
There was more confusion on Huangzhou's face.
no?
What did Qiao Bai say? He, a student, who had no detailed knowledge of pet evolution, taught himself and put it into practice, and he made some discoveries?
If the person who spoke had not been Qiao Bai, Huangzhou would have kicked the person out.
What nonsense are you talking about here!
If you want to research a new pet evolution route, it is not something that can be done by reading two books! Do you really think that the hundreds of millions of research funds invested in the research institute every year are a joke?
"Qiao Bai, you..." Huang Zhou's originally good impression of Qiao Bai plummeted, and the expression on his face gradually became ugly.
Qiao Bai didn't care: "President Huang, I'm not kidding. Let me tell you this. I have a new discovery. Don't tell anyone else."
Huangzhou rolled his eyes and motioned for Qiao Bai to continue.
He wanted to hear what new discoveries Qiao Bai could make, why was he so mysterious.
"Favourability." Qiao Bai said seriously.
Huh? Huang Zhou frowned slightly, his expression changed slightly: "Favorability? What does this have to do with the evolution of pets?"
Qiao Bai used the same tactics that he had used to fool Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei and Zhou Xinran before, and upgraded them. His words became more complete and sounded quite convincing.
"...That's about it. I think the ability of the honey bug to evolve into a fairy butterfly is closely related to the affinity between the beastmaster and the pet. Based on this, I want to try other extraordinary creatures to see if they can also be evolved using this method."
Qiao Bai’s words made Huangzhou fall into deep thought.
As the president of the NY City Beast Taming Alliance, although Huang Zhou is not a professional in the field of pet evolution, his interactions with various professors and other beast tamers have enabled him to invisibly come into contact with a lot of relevant knowledge.
At first glance, Qiao Bai's guess did not have any major loopholes, and even brought him a lot of surprises.
If the person who proposed the concept of "favorability" was Zhou Xinran, or other professors majoring in pet evolution, Huangzhou would definitely have believed it and allocated resources without saying a word.
If it were Qiao Bai... Huang Zhou thought for a few more minutes: "What you said makes sense, but how are you going to prove it?"
He still couldn't help but ask questions with doubt.
no way.
Qiao Bai does not have enough paper achievements and practical results to show for himself.
The evolution of the honey bugs was a coincidence. When it came to the allocation of large amounts of resources, Huangzhou really couldn't regard it as a support for his trust in Qiao Bai.
Qiao Bai could understand Huangzhou’s thoughts, and what he wanted was not the resources of the Beast Taming Alliance.
"Qi Yue's little fire fox is the latest subject of the favorability experiment." Qiao Bai did not hide it from Huang Zhou. If nothing unexpected happens, the little fire fox will be able to meet all the requirements for evolution in a month at most. He will have to tell Huang Zhou then.
In order to prevent Huangzhou from thinking that this was luck again, Qiao Bai also needed to start accumulating his reputation in the academic world. Informing Huangzhou in advance would actually be a good choice.
Qiao Bai looked at Huang Zhou sincerely: "I want to go with you to explore the mines this time, just to see if the fire-attributed mines can promote the evolution of the little fire fox, or if there are some herbs suitable for the little fire fox."
It is very reasonable and not at all abrupt to completely hide Xiao Wu's need for the dead mine and move it to Xiao Huohu.
"You don't need to provide me with any precious resources. My needs are within your capabilities. I will give you a chance to explore with me, permission to practice in the future, and maybe a few precious herbs. That's all."
kindness.
The first two items are not too difficult, but the last one, the precious herbs.
According to the rules of the forbidden land, Beast Tamers need to pay a deposit to enter the forbidden land. The amount varies depending on the area they are heading to and the length of time they need to stay. If they do not come out after the time confirmed in advance, the expedition team stationed in the forbidden land will go in to look for the Beast Tamer. Regardless of whether they can find the Beast Tamer in the end, the deposit will be used as their reward for their trip.
If the Beastmaster is really in danger and is rescued by the expedition team, the Beastmaster will have to pay additional compensation.
No matter how important money is, it is not as important as life, and beastmasters will not be stingy with the money.
If the beastmaster succeeds in getting out within the specified time, the deposit will belong to the alliance, but generally speaking, the beastmaster will not lose money, because the beastmaster can take away two high-grade resources found in the area, or low-grade and medium-grade resources within a certain weight limit.
Either way it's quite profitable.
There are many precious herbs and minerals that are worth millions or even tens of millions on the market. The higher the grade, the more valuable they are.
You can take it away at half the market price, and even if you don’t use it yourself, you can still make a fortune by reselling it.
certainly.
The higher the quality of the resources, the more likely it is that extremely dangerous supernatural creatures are lurking nearby. If you are not strong enough, it is not impossible that you may lose your life by accident.
Opportunities come with risks, which are reasonable.
What Qiao Bai wanted, Huang Zhou also wanted, and he even wanted it more clearly.
Whether it was the opportunity to follow in and explore, or the subsequent practice, or even the precious herbs... these were all within the scope of Huangzhou's authority to decide.
Moreover, these investments are like a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning compared to the resources that other pet professional professors receive every year.
Huang Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "I only have one question. How do you quantify the favorability you mentioned?"
Qiao Bai exclaimed in praise, he was worthy of being the president of the NY City Beast Taming Alliance, he hit the nail on the head.
"Well..." Qiao Bai just realized that human potential is unlimited. He can always come up with ideas if he pushes himself. "It's just an idea. When a beastmaster and his pet get along with each other, their emotions will fluctuate greatly and they will produce special mental fluctuations. Can this fluctuation be captured by an instrument and quantified?"
"I think this may be a way to show the affection between the pet and the beastmaster."
"It's just that the quantitative numerical standard... still needs further consideration and research."
The one who was talking nonsense was Qiao Bai.
He came up with this explanation just because of a sudden inspiration.
There is truth in that, but not much.
Quantifying the illusory favorability is not an easy task in itself.
Huang Zhou also heard the nonsense that Qiao Bai was talking about: "You really didn't hide anything from me. Is that what you just thought about?"
Qiao Bai smiled slightly and said nothing.
Ugh! We agreed not to speak out! "Who told you not to speak out?" Huang Zhou rolled his eyes at Qiao Bai.
However, Huang Zhou still laughed out loud, and his expression was not as serious as before: "At first I really thought you were talking nonsense, but after listening to what happened later, I felt that your idea was feasible. I just didn't trust you enough."
Huangzhou did not hide this point.
Qiao Bai nodded: "I understand, I understand. Mutual trust is a process. Before this, we didn't have the seeds of trust, so how can we talk about blooming the flowers of trust?"
"But I hope you will give me a chance to prove myself."
It must be said that Qiao Bai's later nonsense made Huangzhou trust what he said at the beginning a little more.
Huang Zhou pursed his lips and thought for two seconds before saying, "I agree to your request, but you have to give me a military order!"
"Prove to me that the evolution of extraordinary creatures is linked to your favorability!"
"It doesn't matter if it's not a new evolutionary route, but there must be results!"
It's also okay for the little fire fox to eventually evolve into the flame fire fox.
after all.
Although the evolutionary path of the Fire Fox has been discovered, not all little Fire Foxes can evolve into Fire Foxes.
As long as Qiao Bai can prove that favorability is linked to evolution, Huangzhou will be satisfied.
"If you can't do it, you can just wait to work for the Beast Taming Alliance to pay off your debts!"
"Don't underestimate me." Qiao Bai raised his lips, and his smile was full of confidence: "I will definitely scare you, Uncle Huang, in the end."
ps: There are fewer and fewer people reading this book, and I am so confused. I beg my fellow readers not to give up on this book!
