Countless fiery gazes fell on Qiao Bai, and those pets at the high level of the fourth order and the low level of the fifth order were staring straight at the poor man and bird who seemed to have strayed into the wild beast area, with similar excited smiles on their faces.

Hehehe ~ There haven’t been any new members joining the sixth floor for a long time!

Even if I change the map every day, I'm almost getting bored of this game.

Today, a new person finally came.

Although I don't know why I look like a weakling who has just joined, it doesn't matter! As long as they are strong enough, it's fine! "Come on, come on! Junior, come in! The seniors will definitely treat you and your little bird well!"

The two seniors closest to Qiao Bai grabbed Qiao Bai's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, and dragged Qiao Bai into the room on the sixth floor.

The door behind him slammed shut! Qiao Bai: I want to escape~ but I can't~ ...

Qiao Bai, who was known as the big devil in the novice battlefield, and Xiao Wu, who crushed all the way in No. 11 Middle School and the training ground, never thought that they would become noobs in the eyes of others so quickly.

But if Qiao Bai were to say... this was really not his fault! It had nothing to do with him!

"...I'm really just an ordinary teaching assistant. Please let me go, seniors." Qiao Bai said expressionlessly with his hands clasped in front of his chest and his eyes dull.

Enough is enough.

He already understood the meaning of what Zhou Xinran said before she left.

When Qiao Bai was forced to join this jungle chicken-eating beast tamer pet survival game, Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu were destined to be at the bottom of the food chain.

Every senior schoolmate who met Qiao Bai teased Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu with great interest.

Including but not limited to pointing out Qiao Bai's incorrect hiding method, using only one skill with the special jungle terrain to beat Xiao Wu violently... The senior sister who was willing to let her pet kill Xiao Wu in one move was already a good person! After the game was over, everyone sat on the sofa drinking drinks and eating snacks, and chatting with the new junior brother.

"Junior brother, you don't know this, right? If you are not a student, the teacher will not give you a classroom door card. Your lies have no effect on us." The senior sister who let her three-headed dragon kill Xiao Wu in seconds just now explained to Qiao Bai with a smile.

The senior who was responsible for pointing out Qiao Bai's incorrect hiding method also smiled and said, "Junior brother, you don't have to underestimate yourself. In fact, you are quite capable. Your pet seems to be only about level three, right? At least it should not be higher than level four."

"We all remember how your pet pressed Fatty Liu's Earth Demon Dragon to the ground and rubbed it!"

Liu Yiming, who was 1.7 meters tall and weighed 200 kilograms and was chubby all over, stood up in an instant and shouted, "I was showing mercy! Do you understand? Show mercy!"

Everyone, including Qiao Bai, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

However, Qiao Bai still took the initiative to stand up and said: "That's because Xiao Wu has an attribute suppression on the Earth Demon Dragon."

first.

The fact that the Earth Demon Dragon has the word "dragon" in its name does not mean that it has the dragon attribute.

Something I must say...

Qiao Bai thought this thing should be named "Earth Demon Earthworm".

He has grown a bit bigger.

But the little crow eats earthworms and can eat three in one bite!

Xiao Wu obviously thought so too.

Among so many pets present, Xiao Wu was the only one who could defeat the Earth Demon Dragon. It stood on Qiao Bai's shoulder, and occasionally glanced in the direction of the Earth Demon Dragon.

Take another look.

Liu Yiming felt provoked: "..."

hateful!

Because his Earth Demon Dragon was the only pet that was defeated by the new junior, he didn't seem to be so confident when he spoke.

At this time, there were other people fanning the flames: "By the way, according to the rules of our sixth floor, Liu Yiming, you have to help me solve a problem!"

Qiao Bai: “?”

Liu Yiming jumped up again and shouted, "That's a reward only for the winner in the end!"

Everyone looked at him with contempt.

"What level are you at, junior brother? You can only blame yourself for not living up to expectations. You didn't take me seriously at the beginning, and now you've fallen flat on your face." The three-headed dragon senior sneered and looked at Liu Yiming with disdain: "In a challenge against a higher level, the weaker party defeats the stronger party, so they should get the preferential treatment they deserve."

"If you lose, show the magnanimity of a senior. If you're a man, don't be so hesitant!"

Liu Yiming: ...What else can he say? Just ask him what else can he say! The three-headed dragon senior turned to look at Qiao Bai with a sweet smile: "Junior brother, is there any resource you need? As long as it is not particularly precious, just let this fat guy pay for a lesson."

Qiao Bai did not refuse.

Seeing that everyone else had no objection, Qiao Bai knew that this was indeed not an exception for him, but an already established rule.

As a newcomer, he naturally wouldn't be so stubborn as to break the rules.

Qiao Bai hesitated for a moment, and Liu Yiming stared at him nervously.

"Hmm... I have a question. Have you ever seen a pet that has cultivated the essence of fire?" Qiao Bai asked.

He has no shortage of resources now, and if he needs it, he can cooperate with Huangzhou and make good use of it from Huangzhou in a fair and honest manner.

Qiao Bai did not make any excessive demands, he just wanted to collect some detailed and useful information more quickly.

Liu Yiming's tense body relaxed. He glanced at the little crow on Qiao Bai's shoulder with a knowing look. If he remembered correctly, the pet just now defeated its Earth Demon Dragon with fire-attribute skills.

Although Liu Yiming really couldn't understand why an extraordinary creature with flying attributes and special attributes would learn fire skills, and then because of the bird's nature and fire attributes suppressing the Earth Dragon... he lost miserably.

"Do you want your Hua bird to cultivate the essence of fire?"

Qiao Bai nodded.

Liu Yiming still felt that Qiao Bai's idea was a bit outrageous, but he didn't say anything. Everyone had different ways of cultivating pets.

"If I must say something... among the beastmasters I know, I've only seen two people's pets cultivate the essence of fire. If you want to copy their methods... it's probably going to be difficult." Liu Yiming told Qiao Bai.

Because Qiao Bai's request was not excessive, Liu Yiming described it in great detail.

"First of all, these two people are already at the peak of the first level and are about to become second-level beastmasters. The two pets that have cultivated the essence of fire are also fifth-level high-level pets with fire attributes. Their mastery and application of skills can be said to be perfect."

"I don't know how one beastmaster did it, but I have some friendship with another beastmaster of the Explosive Pony, and we have had a few private conversations."

"I heard him say that in order to let the Explosive Flame Colt cultivate the essence of fire, he lived and ate with the Explosive Flame Colt in the crater for nearly two months, so that the Explosive Flame Colt could better feel the breath of fire in nature."

Qiao Bai heard an interesting word.

“Nature’s Fire”

Qiao Bai repeated the word and asked proactively: "Is that how he described it at the time?"

Liu Yiming seemed to have not expected Qiao Bai to be so perceptive, and nodded: "Yes, that's what he said."

It might be because Qiao Bai understood things immediately and did not ask too many difficult questions that Liu Yiming felt less embarrassed after losing and was more interested in talking.

"I asked him the same question as you did at that time. What is the difference between the fire in nature and the fire energy of the fire-attributed minerals?"

Other people around also became curious.

"It's quite interesting. We don't seem to have really explored this issue in normal times."

"What's the difference between one with energy and one without energy?"

"It's like the difference between an ordinary river and a lake full of crystal stones. If you think about it carefully, there is definitely a difference."

Liu Yiming raised his eyebrows: "That's what I mean."

"He described it to me in a very exaggerated and mysterious way at the time. Anyway, I don't remember those words. If you hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have remembered them either."

"But if you must tell me something." Liu Yiming paused and shrugged: "The difference should not be that big. The talent, strength and battle experience of the beastmaster and the pet are the key."

"Thank you, senior." Qiao Bai thanked Liu Yiming with a smile.

Qiao Bai also thanked the senior student of the three-headed dragon, as well as several other senior students who had "beaten" him and Xiao Wu.

Never mind whether the other person was looking for fun or not, he did get something good and he has nothing else to give, a word of thanks is just a matter of opening his mouth, nothing less.

"Hehehe~ Junior brother, if you really want to thank us, why not play another game with us?" The three-headed dragon senior sister showed a malicious smile on her face.

Liu Yiming, who had looked listless just now, instantly became energetic.

The sparkling eyes seemed to say: It’s time for revenge!

Others even more so.

Okay, okay.

They are almost tired of playing with these familiar people, but the younger brother is new and they can play with him for a while longer.

Senior Three-Headed Dragon said with a look of concern for Qiao Bai: "Shall we change to a volcano map this time? Help your bird experience the volcano environment in advance?"

Qiao Bai: Goodbye, I'm leaving now! Three consecutive rejections.jpg Xiao Wu even went straight back to Qiao Bai's spiritual sea beast space. Everyone thought that Qiao Bai had taken it back and was rejecting them in this way. Everyone sighed. The playful little brother and his violent little black bird were gone, and the old people could only continue to love and kill each other out of boredom.

…

In the next few days.

Qiao Bai went to the classroom to substitute for classes as planned, played against opponents on the first floor of the Bird's Nest, and trained on the third floor.

Qiao Bai never went up to the sixth floor again.

...The question is that it left a deep psychological trauma on both him and Xiao Wu.

After Zhou Xinran came back, Qiao Bai immediately returned the teacher's door card to her.

Zhou Xinran smiled when she saw Qiao Bai's condition: "Have you been to the sixth floor? Was it fun?"

"If you still want to go, I can lend you the card for another half a month."

Qiao Bai quickly refused, and said seriously with a serious expression: "I think what I need now is down-to-earth training. The sixth floor...is not suitable for me."

"Pfft..." Zhou Xinran couldn't help laughing when she heard that: "Did I remind you?"

Qiao Bai: Oh! Who said it wasn’t?

But sometimes... I can't help but be curious.

There are so many legends about the sixth floor, so Qiao Bai naturally wants to find out.

Facing Zhou Xinran's laughter, Qiao Bai remained calm and not embarrassed at all.

He admitted that he was too weak now, but neither he nor Xiao Wu would stay at this level forever. Sooner or later, they would become stronger, and the Sixth Floor would no longer be able to pose a threat to them.

After laughing enough, Zhou Xinran took back the door card. As if she was afraid that Qiao Bai would be hurt, she kindly explained.

"It's normal for you to think they are strong. Those who can go to the sixth floor are all the favorite students of the teachers of pet beast combat related majors. The weakest ones are all first-level beast masters, and there is also a girl who is about to break through the threshold of second-level beast master."

"The environment on the sixth floor is actually designed to allow them to better understand each other's strengths, so that they can perform at their best in the Team Beast Tamer Competition held every three years."

Zhou Xinran looked at Qiao Bai again and said, "Your strength is not weak compared to your peers. It's even at the top level. It would be a good idea to go to the sixth floor and have a direct understanding of the stronger beast masters. This way, you won't be easily distracted."

Qiao Bai: “…”

He wanted to say.

After watching it, it is more than just easy to drift.

If it were anyone else, they might have been hit hard! The strength displayed by the seniors on the sixth floor was enough to scare away a potential beastmaster who was not mentally strong enough.

But it’s different if it’s Qiao Bai.

fear?

self-abasement?

No, no, no! These things don't exist at all! Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu would not have such emotions.

After Xiaowu evolves into a three-legged golden crow, its potential and strength will be further improved.

Xiao Wu is even more confident in Qiao Bai.

Xiao Wu: My beastmaster is the strongest! No exceptions! No!

Qiao Bai briefly briefed Zhou Xinran on the class situation during her absence this week. Zhou Xinran flipped through the attendance list in her hand and put it aside without any care.

She had expected that fewer and fewer people would come to class.

Zhou Xinran is even more happy to have prejudices about this.

But... this doesn't mean that Zhou Xinran is easy to talk to. She has already prepared for more than half of the students to fail this course this year.

Just when Zhou Xinran was thinking about some weird and strange operations to deduct points.

She suddenly heard Qiao Bai ask.

"Professor Zhou, I'd like to take a month's leave. I've already prepared the PPT and lesson plan for you in advance. Can you approve my leave?" Qiao Bai blinked and said to Zhou Xinran with a gentle smile.

Zhou Xinran didn't even look at Qiao Bai's leave request.

"Give me a reason why you must agree, otherwise I will treat you as if you are taking advantage of the conveniences and benefits I provide for free."

Zhou Xinran gasped when she spoke, and Qiao Bai was so scared that he almost jumped up! Fortunately, Zhou Xinran added the second half of the sentence in time, and Qiao Bai gave Zhou Xinran a condemning look.

He was certain that Zhou Xinran's heavy breathing was intended to scare him.

Qiao Bai gave Zhou Xinran a look full of condemnation, but Zhou Xinran didn't feel guilty at all.

Guilty?

Why should you feel guilty?

Obviously, the person who should feel guilty is Qiao Bai.

"I want to find a natural volcanic environment and train Xiao Wu there for a while. The time for the round trip plus the time I stay there, a month's leave is really not very long."

"Looking for a natural volcanic crater?" Zhou Xinran said, glancing at Xiao Wu: "You want Hua Niao to cultivate the Essence Fire?"

Qiao Bai was somewhat surprised but not quite surprised.

As a professor, it is normal for Zhou Xinran to know more information than him.

Qiao Bai nodded.

For the first time, Zhou Xinran looked carefully at the small black ball standing on Qiao Bai's shoulder.

All the feathers on its body are black.

There were a few clusters of burnt feathers that had not yet had time to grow back, making the little bird's overall appearance look a little messy.

What Zhou Xinran finds most magical is - why is Xiaowu's feathers black and his eyes are also black, but the two colors of black give people different feelings?

"...You need to know one thing. The extraordinary creatures that can cultivate skills such as Essence Fire, Essence Water, and Divine Thunder must have the conditions for cultivation. In other words, they must have the attributes corresponding to the skills they cultivate."

A supernatural creature with water attributes may be able to learn one or two fire-attribute skills due to its own special features, but a supernatural creature with water attributes absolutely cannot cultivate fine fire.

Because its body is not naturally equipped for such conditions.

Same reason.

As a creature with flying attributes and special attributes, Xiaowu can learn more than one fire attribute skill, but cannot cultivate fine fire because Xiaowu's body does not have the conditions to cultivate fine fire.

"No exceptions?"

"No." Zhou Xinran shook her head very affirmatively.

However, Qiao Bai would not give up his plan just because of Zhou Xinran's words.

Compared with Zhou Xinran, Qiao Bai believes more in the data shown by his innate skills.

Since the evolutionary route provided by the innate skill indicates that as long as Xiao Wu cultivates the "essence fire", Xiao Wu can evolve into a three-legged golden crow.

That little Wu must be able to cultivate the essence of fire.

Qiao Bai thought about it, and out of trust in Zhou Xinran, he let out a little hint: "If... I mean if."

Qiao Bai reached out and took Xiao Wu off his shoulder. Xiao Wu raised his head and looked up at Qiao Bai from bottom to top in an awkward posture. As he was looking, he accidentally fell on the palm of Qiao Bai's hand.

"If Xiaowu has the attribute of fire after evolution, is it possible that Xiaowu can actually learn the essence of fire?"

Zhou Xinran silently typed a question mark.

"no?!"

Zhou Xinran, who was flipping through the roll call list just now, suddenly stopped, looked up, and his glasses flashed, and his eyes behind the glasses were fixed on Qiao Bai.

"Your pet is a Hua bird, right?"

Zhou Xinran responded to the question in an affirmative tone.

"According to the Huaniao evolutionary routes discovered so far, no Huaniao route will gain the fire attribute after successful evolution, so you are..." Have you discovered a new evolutionary route?

Zhou Xinran didn't say the second half of the sentence.

It’s really... too outrageous.

How long has it been?

How long has it been since Qiao Bai came into contact with the subject of pet evolution? How many new evolutionary routes has Qiao Bai discovered?

The evolution of the honey bug into the fairy butterfly was just a coincidence.

The purpose of evolving the Little Fox into the Fox Queen is to study the favorability.

What are the new attributes that Hua Bird gains after evolution? You need to know.

The attributes of supernatural creatures are fixed. Based on the skills they are born with, most of them have a single attribute, some have dual attributes, and no supernatural creatures with three attributes have been discovered so far.

Beastmasters all agree that extraordinary creatures with three attributes do not exist.

Listen to what Qiao Bai is saying——

After evolving, the Huaniao Xiaowu, which has dual attributes, has a chance to gain a fire attribute.

This is going to overturn the ancient understanding of beast masters! Zhou Xinran was shocked, and she wanted to calm down.

"Yes, I have an idea for Xiao Wu's new evolutionary route, and I'm in the process of trying it out with Xiao Wu." Qiao Bai smiled and added what Zhou Xinran hadn't finished.

周心然的胸口波涛起伏，重峦迭嶂，好歹没有被乔白的话惊出心脏病来。

“你这次又准备借口你是怎么发现的？”周心然没好气地斜了乔白一眼。

她算是发现了。

乔白每次都能找那么个合理的借口出来。

她倒要听听，乔白这次还能有什么借口。

又是证明好感度？ “额……”乔白迟疑了两秒，脸上露出了一个良善的笑容：“我确实有新发现……比如说，默契度？”

周心然白眼属性大爆发！

“编吧！你小子就给我继续编！”

生气过后，周心然终于冷静了下来。

通过乔白以往表现出来的可靠……应该是可靠，周心然知道，没有把握的事情乔白不会乱说，这样一下，周心然还真不好不批乔白假期。

“但是一个月太久了，我给你批半个月，就算小乌进化后可能拥有火属性，凭小乌现在的情况想要修炼精火……除非你直接住在火山口了，否则一个月和半个月没有区别。”

不等乔白抗议，周心然伸手在虚空中压了压，示意乔白先听她说：“给你半个月的时间实地体会一下，你在决定要不要继续找我批假可以吧？”

乔白犹豫了两秒，同意了周心然的提议。

他确实不太可能直接就在火山口住到高考结束，那还有足足半年多的时间呢！

小乌和他都受不了！

半个月的体验期可以。

“不过我还需要一点时间预留赶路……”

“青鸟大学外围就有一座不会喷发的死火山。”周心然再次打断了乔白的话。

乔白：“？”

乔白瞳孔地震。

不是吧阿sir？

你们只是大学，为什么连这玩意儿都有啊？ 看出了乔白的疑惑，周心然轻笑一声：“你以为青鸟大学是怎么有这样的地位？仅凭对战场的那套设备？那可远远不够。”

一流大学都要和御兽师挂上钩。

入学的优秀御兽师越多，学校综合能力评估才会越强。

怎么才能吸引更多的御兽师入学就读呢？ 各家大学为此，都有着五花八门的抢人手段。

作为坐落在和NY市交壤的晋阳市的青鸟大学，为此出了一个奇招——

将禁忌之地的一部分划入了青鸟大学的校区范围内。

是的。

乔白头上的问号更多了。

真的假的？

禁忌之地还能被划给大学吗？

“有前提的。”周心然也简单的给乔白解释了一下。

禁忌之地危险，但同时也是资源丰富的代表，每一个禁忌之地在危险血腥的同时，也是一座巨大的天然资源库。

同时可以连带着盘活周边好几个城市，一般情况下是不可能分割出去的。

可不管什么事务，总会有那么一两起例外。

青鸟大学的地理位置刚好在晋阳市靠近NY市的部分，在建设校区的时候，就有提议换一个位置。

范围内有一部分位置过于靠近禁忌之地。

虽然交界的那片禁忌之地是一片巨大的缓冲地带，里面没有什么物资和能量，超凡生物也因为资源的稀缺不常往那一片去，但危险还是有的。

一些实在弱小，凶残的环境中无法生存下去的超凡生物，就会偷偷朝着这个缓冲地带转移。

当时的校领导人在得知这个消息后，脑海中有一个伟大的想法顿时升起——要是将这一片缓冲地带划进校区范围内？

没有资源，但有死火山、湖泊、岩石带等复杂多变的地形，很适合把学生放在里面进行真实的野外训练。

运气好的学生说不定还能遇到几只在禁忌之地内算是弱小，对他们来说刚刚好的超凡生物，直接打服契约，多方便啊！ 学校还能负责对这片区域的看守，但凡有什么变动，他们可以第一时间联系守卫在禁忌之地的御兽师，其他时间则不需要浪费国家和联盟的精力。

总之在经过一番漫长的重复申请和据理力争后，在城市官方的支持下，青鸟大学最终还是成功地拿下了这片区域。

“大概就是这么一回事，青鸟大学的学生可以随意进出这一片区域，每年可以从里面契约走一只超凡生物。”

“你要是找冰原、海洋、极光极暗之地我可能没办法，火山口，那里刚好有一个。”周心然笑着说道：“其实每年都会有学生尝试去哪里待几天，但真的修炼出精火的……”

周心然摇了摇头。

屈指可数。

“那就半个月。”乔白再次为青鸟大学的牛逼竖了个大拇指。

是真的牛。

怪不得青鸟大学能成为华南地区首屈一指的大学。

这么好的地理环境，又遇到了有远瞻性的校领导班子，其他大学输的不冤。

……

在假期批下来之后。

乔白马不停蹄地去调查了这片区域。

他之前怎么没有在地图上看到呢？ 在校内论坛上转了一圈，乔白懂了。

这是因为——归根结底，这片区域本质上依旧属于禁忌之地，这片缓冲区在NY市禁忌之地已探索出来35%中，硬生生地占据了5%的比例。

不是说不要就能不要的。

明面上没有能量和价值，那也是完整禁忌之地中的一部分啊！ 不过这5%的缓冲区，青鸟大学学生有任意进出的权利，但除非生死危机，否则绝不能踏入未探索区域和剩余30%的探索区域，只要被发现，学校直接警告处理，严重的开除学籍。

“我看看……我想去的话有没有什么要求……”乔白在论坛上稍微翻了翻，很快就找到了要求。

不难。

正式御兽师就有资格进入。

有危险捏碎身上的警报器，青鸟大学警卫队会前往救援。

乔白：“……”

一切都是那么合理。

绝对没有针对他的意思对吧？ 还只是个预备御兽师的乔白掏出手机，没有别的意思，就是想感谢一下周教授。

打开联系列表，乔白看到了其中一个联络人，眼睛突然一亮。

他自己不行，那就再叫上一个人一起不就行了？ 【乔白：禁忌之地缓冲区，接单吗？】

一分钟后对面消息就发过来了。

【徐晓颜：接接接！老板是要去契约宠兽吗？包在我身上！这边可以帮您提供代打服务，帮您把超凡生物揍到半死，您再揍个四分之一死，就能轻轻松松契约了！我们得收费也非常优惠，只需要……】

【乔白：-_-||】

【乔白：不契约，我要去火山口待上半个月，除非我打不过你救我，否则不需要你提供代打，多少钱。】

【徐晓颜：哎？之前没有遇上过这样的要求呢，那这边就按照老板的意思定制专属需求，按照贴身打手的情况来算，我看一下……我是新人，给您个优惠价，就一万五了。换作大二的学长学姐至少要收您三万五万呢！】

乔白打字的手停在了半空中。

优惠价？ 一万五？

乔白很想问问徐晓颜，他们还招不招人，他也想去了。

再想想他现在这连去个禁忌之地缓冲区都要找人陪的情况……等他明年入学了再说！

乔白最后还是同意了。

【徐晓颜：好嘞！那我这半个月的时间都属于老板您了，您看什么时候出发呢。】

【乔白：明天，你上课没问题？】

【徐晓颜：ok，老板放心，保证不耽误老板您的事儿！】

约定好了时间，乔白摸了摸他又即将要缩水的口袋，长长地叹了一口气。

“是不是该庆幸，还好周教授帮我向黄会长申请了一笔津贴？”乔白叹气说道。

黄州批的很痛快，直接走对公渠道给乔白打了十万，让乔白先凑合着花，等后面火狐女王的进化路线完全确定，好感度的概念也不容置疑后，后续还会有新的津贴。

当时乔白还觉得，这十万块是一笔巨款，他也没有什么需要花钱的地方，一定会很耐花。

没想到……一下子五分之一就没有了。

乔白一边叹气一边摸了摸小乌的呆毛：“小乌啊小乌……”两脚吞金兽啊！ 小乌歪着头好奇地用黑色的豆豆眼盯着乔白：？ 说呀？

乔白还是没有说出来。

Hey! Stop putting pressure on Xiao Wu to support his family.

Qiao Bai was the one who took on everything after all. Who made him the beastmaster? Xiao Wu shook his feathers, withdrew his gaze, and continued to eat with his head down.

Xiaowu: ╭(╯^╰)╮

The beastmaster is really strange! He doesn't talk but always calls the bird's name! Forget it, maybe the beastmaster just misses it? The little bird waved its wings a little embarrassedly.

Oops!

Who made me look so cute? Even a beastmaster can't resist the charm of a bird~ ...

Early the next morning.

Qiao Bai fed both Xiao Wu and himself until they were full, then he carried Xiao Wu on his shoulders and went out.

He and Xu Xiaoyan agreed to meet at the entrance of the forbidden area's buffer zone. When Qiao Bai arrived, Xu Xiaoyan had already arrived.

Xu Xiaoyan was wearing a strange outfit, a long-sleeved short skirt, and Martin boots. She squatted on the main road and ate buns in big mouthfuls without any image burden. Her eyes were rolling around, distinguishing the passers-by.

The moment she saw Qiao Bai, she stood up suddenly, jumped and waved in the direction of Qiao Bai, making Qiao Bai subconsciously hallucinate the enthusiastic dog wagging its tail again.

"Boss, boss! Over here! Look at me!" Xu Xiaoyan was still biting a bun in her mouth, her voice was unclear but her voice was not small at all.

The few eyes around were all focused on Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai: “…”

The look in his eyes confirmed that Xu Xiaoyan was a socially anxious person.

Social terrorist.

Qiao Bai stared at those strange looks and walked towards Xu Xiaoyan.

As expected of a socially phobic person, Xu Xiaoyan didn't think the looks from people around her were anything worthy of attention.

She showed her two pointed little canine teeth and said with a bright smile, "Boss, have you eaten yet? I also brought you some steamed buns! Cabbage and pork! Two yuan each, so expensive!"

"I've eaten." Qiao Bai held his forehead with his hand.

Xu Xiaoyan put the buns back into her backpack without caring: "It's okay, I'll eat them at noon!"

Having said this, Xu Xiaoyan finally finished the bag of buns in her hand.

He wiped his mouth casually.

Xu Xiaoyan took action: "Then Boss, shall we go in now?"

"Sure." Qiao Bai glanced at Xu Xiaoyan's clothes and said, "But are you sure it's okay to wear this?"

The weather in early December has not yet cooled down completely, but it is definitely not hot either, and it is easy to catch a cold if the wind blows.

"Don't worry, boss. I'm still very reliable in this regard!" Xu Xiaoyan patted his chest.

Qiao Bai could see the softness of the ups and downs just by lowering his head slightly.

"It's enough for you to know. Let's go register now." Qiao Bai waved his hand, no longer looking at Xu Xiaoyan, and strode towards the entrance.

As part of the forbidden land.

Even if the right of entry and exit of the buffer zone is freely given to Blue Bird University, this part of the area is still surrounded by city walls. What is more special is that there is a separate city gate for students of Blue Bird University to enter and exit.

It is still different from the complicated registration process at the main city gate.

Qiao Bai and Xu Xiaoyan only need to swipe their teaching assistant cards and student cards, show their contracted pets, and prove that they have the ability to protect themselves before they can enter.

Qiao Bai only contracted Xiao Wu.

The strength displayed by Xiao Wu is only at the advanced level of the third level.

There were no additional pets released.

The teacher in charge of grades at the door looked at Qiao Bai in surprise, then looked at him again.

"In your case..." The teacher looked at the teaching assistant card that Qiao Bai had swiped and confirmed that the person registered on the card looked exactly like Qiao Bai and that the card was also newly issued this year. Only then did he reluctantly retract his suspicion that Qiao Bai had forged the card.

"Okay... your situation is really special. This is the first time I've seen it in all these years." The teacher muttered, and his eyes shifted to Xu Xiaoyan: "Let your pet out."

"Okay!" Xu Xiaoyan responded loudly: "Ha!"

Next second.

Two large, furry, drooping white and purple ears appeared on Xu Xiaoyan's head.

A large, furry, white-purple tail appeared behind it, swinging wildly from side to side.

Qiao Bai: “?”

teacher:"?"

"What are you doing..." The teacher stared at the ears on Xu Xiaoyan's head and the tail behind him in amazement, his mouth wide open, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Teacher, my innate skill is symbiotic fusion." For the first time, Xu Xiaoyan showed an embarrassed smile on her face. She bent her index finger and tapped her cheek twice: "I'm not very good at controlling it. Every time I release the Burning Star Dog, they fuse together... Anyway, that's it."

The teacher nodded in understanding: "I think I did hear that this year we recruited a girl with a gifted skill of beast ears... ahem!"

Xu Xiaoyan smiled carelessly.

"Oh! Everyone says that, teacher, you don't have to be embarrassed! I'm used to it anyway!"

How does the saying go?

As long as you are not embarrassed, it must be others who are embarrassed!

Qiao Bai was also startled for a moment by Xu Xiaoyan's appearance.

Good fellow! He always used to hallucinate Xu Xiaoyan as a big dog without paying attention, and he always saw a non-existent big tail wagging behind Xu Xiaoyan.

Qiao Bai was almost reflecting on whether this situation occurred because his heart was too dirty.

I didn’t expect Xu Xiaoyan is a real girl with animal ears!

The kind of animal ears that a big dog has! Qiao Bai had to admit that this image was very consistent with Xu Xiaoyan's temperament. He had previously felt that there was something wrong with Xu Xiaoyan, but after these big ears and this big tail appeared, they disappeared instantly.

And Qiao Bai also understood why Xu Xiaoyan wore a short skirt.

Of course... so that the tail can be exposed!

Qiao Bai swore that he was absolutely not curious about where Xu Xiaoyan's tail came from.

However, because Xu Xiaoyan and the Burning Star Dog had merged together, it was a little difficult to detect Xu Xiaoyan's strength. In the end, the machine showed that she was at the intermediate level of the fourth stage.

"I've always felt that there was something wrong with this machine. Every time it detects strength, it's a little lower than the actual strength of the Star Burning Dog!" Xu Xiaoyan curled her lips: "Obviously, my Star Burning Dog is already a fourth-level advanced one!"

With one more charge, she will be able to break through to the fifth level with the Burning Star Dog!

"This is normal. This is the case for all beastmasters who have fused talents." The teacher's eyes softened after seeing Xu Xiaoyan's strength. "This is because after the pet merges with you, part of the pet's strength will be used to strengthen your body, so the test results will be slightly worse. This is normal."

"But as long as you break through the fifth level, you will be able to fully control this innate skill and contract a new pet." Faced with a talented student, the teacher, who was not very busy early in the morning, kindly said a few more words.

"Take your time, don't rush. All you have to do is steadily break through the fifth level."

ps: Let me talk about this month's update plan. The minimum update time is 10,000 words per day. There are 31 days in this month, which means the minimum update time is 310,000 words. Come on!

I'd like to ask for a monthly ticket. I want to participate in the monthly ticket lottery this month, even if it's just once! The minimum is 100 yuan! But it seems that everyone is not very active in voting, so the monthly tickets are pitifully few.

Then let's do the whole extra chapter activity! 1,000 monthly tickets plus one extra chapter! One extra chapter is 10,000 words! There is no upper limit! Just a reminder, there will be a double monthly ticket activity for two or three days at the end of December, so you can rush to get extra chapters then!

Even if it means adding 10 chapters, as long as you are capable, I guarantee to do it!
