Cui Wenzhong successfully coaxed Mr. Wu into the cafeteria.
Mr. Wu cursed as he served his meal: "I'm not hungry now, so it's not a problem to eat after working for two hours."
"You have to let me eat before you tell me the content of the academic conference. How can you be a student like this?"
"Evil disciple!!!"
When the project team staff near the cafeteria window heard the old man's powerful voice, they all moved away.
I was afraid of being targeted by the angry old man.
It’s not that the old man is harsh.
That's right... As a leading figure in the evolution of pet animals, Mr. Wu Qingshan has dedicated his entire life to the work he loves.
In the past thirty years, fifty-six new evolutionary routes of undiscovered supernatural creatures have been discovered, and forty-two simpler evolutionary routes of already discovered supernatural creatures have been found.
Mr. Wu has been reluctant to retire because he hopes that the sum of these two numbers will exceed 100 during his lifetime.
It would be best if he could discover two new evolutionary routes of extraordinary creatures that have not been discovered yet! If he could do that, he would have nothing to give up in his life.
The "Extreme Defense" project is a heavyweight research project established in March this year.
The purpose is to allow a group of extraordinary creatures with extremely high defense to evolve again and gain even stronger defense that is close to the extreme!
In theory.
"Ultimate defense", "Strongest attack"... This series of extraordinary creatures should exist.
For example, the Lightyear Dragon Rider is a recognized extraordinary creature with "extreme speed".
The speed of flying around the world back and forth in 30 seconds is something that no extraordinary creature can surpass.
All countries agree that extraordinary creatures with "ultimate defense" and "strongest attack" may already exist, but their evolved forms have not yet been successfully discovered by humans.
The field of pet evolution will become a popular profession in the next hundred years, and it is closely related to "extreme".
Whichever country discovers a new "extreme" first and masters the key to the evolution of the "extreme" will be able to obtain a large amount of resources.
In the past, there were many large and small research institutes in China that studied "extreme" issues.
But no results were achieved.
There has been no official action.
It wasn't until this year that a project team was established for some reason.
And invited Mr. Wu Qingshan to come over.
The old man agreed as soon as he heard it.
With the dual invitations from the country and the official alliance, plus unlimited resources tilted towards it, how could Mr. Wu, who dreams of researching a new evolutionary route for a few more days, refuse?
Moreover, Mr. Wu not only has high standards for himself.
I also have high standards for the people around me and the members of the project team.
That's good.
In just half a year, the project team has made considerable progress and successfully selected the four most suitable supernatural creatures from a group of supernatural creatures with good defense as their first batch of research targets.
Mr. Wu said that he would research the new evolutionary route of at least one of the extraordinary creatures before the Chinese New Year.
Very energetic and motivated, but everyone is really a little overwhelmed.
Working non-stop for twelve hours a day with high mental demands.
It's fine if they listen to the old man when they are working, but let's leave some time for them to relax when they eat! The only person who can withstand the intensity of Mr. Wu's work and can arrange extra time is Cui Wenzhong, the old man's last disciple.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. I'm listening." Cui Wenzhong treated the old man perfunctorily every day in the admiring eyes of others, and successfully and easily grasped the old man's lifeline.
"You say yours, I do mine. If you don't want to listen, you can go back now. Anyway, you are not good at mobile live broadcasting and Zhibo. If I don't tell you, you can forget about it from other channels."
Mr. Wu got angry.
What can the old man do? ! ! In his life, apart from his work, the only thing he is interested in is new discoveries in his professional field.
The vital point was caught.
There is no way to resist!!!
Two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and a soup. Mr. Wu ate most of the meal without saying a word. Then he put down his chopsticks and slammed the table with full energy, shouting, "That's enough!!!"
Cui Wenzhong took a look and said, "Not bad. I won't bother with you this time."
Without waiting for Mr. Wu Qingshan to slam the table again, Cui Wenzhong told him about the content of the academic press conference that day.
"The new evolutionary path of the little Firefox, the Firefox Queen, proves that the concept of favorability is very likely to be true." Cui Wenzhong summarized it to the old man.
“…That’s about it. It’s quite interesting.”
Cui Wenzhong laughed again and winked at the old man: "Do you know that the young man who convened this academic conference is the same Qiao Bai who was publicly thanked by Professor Zhou at the academic conference more than half a month ago?"
Within one month.
Nanyang Jinyang held two academic press conferences in succession.
They are also cleverly linked together.
"I attended Xiao Zhou's academic conference later. The evolution of honey bugs is very valuable." Mr. Wu affirmed Zhou Xinran's academic conference.
Then he began to think about the "favorability" he had just heard.
"You know what, this concept... is quite interesting." Old Master Wu said while nodding.
"Does the affection between the beastmaster and the pet affect the pet's evolution?"
As Mr. Wu spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and the expressions on his face became rich and varied.
Cui Wenzhong knew it at a glance.
The teacher was inspired and fell into a state of thought.
He didn't bother the old man.
A few minutes later.
The old man suddenly stood up, and even his reading glasses couldn't hide his sparkling eyes: "Hahaha!!! I got an inspiration!!!"
Without saying a word, Mr. Wu turned around and rushed towards the research institute!
While the inspiration is still there, there is no time to waste!!!
"Hey hey hey?!" Cui Wenzhong was confused. He quickly stood up and chased in the direction of the old man.
Who would have thought that Mr. Wu, who was over sixty years old, could walk so fast that even a young man like Cui Wenzhong couldn't catch up with him.
Mr. Wu could no longer hear any other sounds.
There was only one thought in his mind - genius! This Qiao Bai must be a genius!!! Once he wrote out this plan, he would have someone contact Qiao Bai immediately!!! ……
"A-choo——" Qiao Bai sneezed. The little crow that was wandering outside the door heard the sound and quickly flapped its wings and flew in.
Keep circling around Qiao Bai.
Xiao Wu: (个_个) Qiao Bai rubbed his nose and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I probably caught a cold when I went into the woods the day before yesterday. I'll just drink some hot water and I'll be fine."
Xiao Wu rubbed against Qiao Bai, his eyes looking serious.
All right.
It believed it.
But I didn’t expect the Beastmaster’s body to be so weak!
It seems that it must quickly take on the responsibility of supporting the family!
When Qiao Bai saw this, he knew that Xiao Wu’s brain had flown to outer space again.
He was quite helpless about this.
After Xiao Wu became stronger, I always had an inexplicable desire to protect him.
Qiao Bai: What a heavy love! Last night Qiao Bai took Xiao Wu to a nearby grove, hoping to find a suitable opponent for Xiao Wu to try out his new skills.
Then he wandered around for a long time, but didn't find any bird-like extraordinary creatures.
Including common bird creatures.
The woods were quite empty.
While Qiao Bai was speechless, he seemed to know why this situation had occurred—the king's aura that Xiao Wu had used a few days ago.
After searching for nearly an hour.
Qiao Bai barely found a lone bird with injured wings.
Qiao Bai: I feel guilty, but I really can’t find a better person to practice with.
Bird: tui! Back, back, back! ! !
And then... nothing happened.
The passive effect of Xiao Wu's new skill is really powerful.
Under Qiao Bai's command, the moment Xiao Wu showed the desire to attack the bird, the passive skill of [Eye of the King] was triggered.
A wind blade slashed the bird.
The bird fainted instantly.
Qiao Bai had just taken the bird to the service station for treatment, but the bird ran away flapping its wings without stopping for a moment, as if it had encountered some ferocious beast!
Thinking back to Xiao Wu's expression at that time, Qiao Bai still wants to laugh.
Xiao Wu stood in front of Qiao Bai, tilted his head and stared at Qiao Bai with his big black eyes, as if he knew what Qiao Bai was laughing at.
Qiao Bai coughed twice.
Cough cough.
Little Wu is not about to become a spirit, it has already become a spirit a long time ago.
As long as the pet wants, it will be the most considerate.
Xiao Wu: Look into my eyes and tell me what you are thinking! Qiao Bai: "..."
Qiao Bai stretched out a finger and pushed Xiao Wu's head away, with a serious expression: "Can you help me go out and see if anyone is coming?"
"Please, Xiaowu."
Xiao Wu: “!”
Beastmaster, please help me! Xiaowu instantly forgot what happened just now, flapped his wings and flew towards the door.
Before Xiao Wu could fly out, a burst of noise came from outside the door.
"Qiao Bai——?" Li Gan shouted at the top of his lungs as he pushed open the door of the service station.
Because he came in too suddenly.
Neither Li Gan himself nor Xiao Wu reacted.
The little crow flapped its wings and tried to brake suddenly, but the little crow, which had just learned to fly not long ago, flapped its wings and crashed into Li Gan's face.
"What the hell!" Li Gan was startled when a pitch-black thing hit him in the face as soon as he entered the door.
He stretched out his hand and wanted to catch Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu struggled even more violently! For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic.
Qiao Bai wanted to intervene but didn't even know where to start.
After a period of chaos and turmoil.
Xiao Wu and Li Gan finally separated.
Qiao Bai held the frightened little bird in the palm of his hand, fed it sweet honey water, and comforted it.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Li Gan didn't mean it." Qiao Bai said gently, and the angry little crow smoothed its feathers little by little.
Li Gan, who was sitting on a chair nearby, with messy hair and a few tiny scratches on his face, was holding a cup and watching this scene. He couldn't help but reveal a funny expression as if he had a toothache.
"I'm telling you, are you raising a pet or a wife?" Li Gan said while making "shashasha" sounds.
"I'm raising a daughter."
Qiao Bai rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously: "Besides, how can a little crow's claws be that heavy? Who are you playing?"
Li Gan: "Bullshit! Look at my handsome, dashing, and majestic face. I'm almost disfigured by being caught!"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what's going on with my fat grandson." Qiao Bai had almost calmed Xiao Wu down, and without arguing with Li Gan, he went straight to the point.
Li Gan, who always talks a lot of nonsense when he is chatting nonsense, suddenly gets stuck when it comes to serious matters.
"Um... well... that is to say..." Li Gan grunted, his eyes darting around, not daring to look Qiao Bai in the face.
Qiao Bai stopped talking.
An An looked at him quietly.
Xiao Wu also followed Qiao Bai's line of sight and stared at Li Gan with his pair of small black eyes.
Li Gan's forehead was covered with sweat. "It's a long story. Why don't we just jump..."
"Either you keep your story short, or you explain the whole story to me."
Seeing that he couldn't fool the person any more, Li Gan whispered and hesitantly told the whole story of what had happened.
"Xiao Qi was pretty good before, no matter if it was cooperating with me in training or taking him out for training. He was a spirited young man, full of energy every day."
"But Xiaoqi has changed since I brought it back from the forbidden land a month and a half ago."
Food doesn’t taste good anymore.
I can't sleep.
Training is unmotivated.
Just give up in the battle.
The spirit and energy are declining rapidly, visibly.
"Didn't you go to the service station to check?" Qiao Bai frowned.
"I went." Li Gan said, "How could I not have gone? But it's useless if I went!"
At this point, Li Gan slapped his thigh angrily.
"I went to more than one service station, and they all told me that Xiaoqi was not sick and was in perfect health!"
But it is also a fact that Dragon Lizard Xiaoqi's condition has not improved at all.
Li Gan became angrier and angrier as he spoke: "The last service station I went to actually accused me of abusing Xiao Qi and not giving her food, and then reported me!"
"Am I abusing Xiaoqi? It was because Xiaoqi couldn't eat or sleep that I took him to the hospital for treatment!"
Li Gan, a tough guy, shed tears.
Disaster.
He really has a hard time!
"I've lost face, but the problem is that Xiaoqi's condition has not been resolved." Li Gan's smile disappeared: "He only eats a little bit every day. With Xiaoqi's physical condition, he can barely hold on for a month or two, but if it continues like this..."
Even if Xiaoqi is a dragon lizard, he can't bear it.
The more Qiao Bai thought about it, the more strange it became.
What on earth was going on here? "Can you let Xiao Qi out so I can see him?"
Li Gan nodded.
He came here just to see if Qiao Bai had any ideas. If Qiao Bai couldn't do anything... Li Gan didn't know what to do!
A dragon lizard with a body more than one meter long and somewhat resembling the dragon in Eastern mythology appeared in front of Qiao Bai.
Before Qiao Bai was shocked by the appearance of the dragon lizard.
He saw——
[Pet: Dragon Lizard]
[Variety: Intermediate Extraordinary High Level]
[Level: Level 3 Intermediate]
[Skills: Swallowing clouds and breathing mist, dragon roar, entanglement, slapping]
[Evolutionary Route: Pterosaur Lizard, Shadow Tyrannosaurus]
[Not meeting the evolution conditions yet]
[Little Meilong! My little Meilong! Wuwuwuwu——burp——I’m too full, a little overstuffed——wuwuwuwu, I miss you so much, my little Meilong! ]
Qiao Bai: “?”
“Are you sure…?”
There are still 6,000 words tonight
