When Zou Tang was driven away, there was still a reluctant expression on his face. He looked back every few steps at Qiao Bai... and the cat and bug in his arms.

"Go eat first, and talk after you're done." Qiao Bai mercilessly drove everyone to work and wash up.

He was sitting in front of the newly lit bonfire, holding Cat, Chong and Xiao Wu.

Heating breakfast for four people.

At the same time, I started a new day of applying medicine to the cat and bugs.

When they sat down and had breakfast together, Qiao Bai recounted everything that happened last night from beginning to end.

The three people who were holding the hot instant food listened, and their hands that were about to move the bowl to their mouths stopped in mid-air.

no?

Did so many things happen last night?

They really didn't notice anything at all! Chu Yanyi turned his head and quickly looked around the surrounding environment. He didn't pay attention when he got up in the morning, but if he looked carefully, he could find the traces left by Xiaowu after the battle.

"It was because of our negligence." Chu Yanyi said as he looked down at the cat-worm that was holding the bowl and eating frantically with its head "clang clang". There was a hint of solemnity and doubt in his eyes.

According to Qiao Bai, this little fellow of unknown species seemed to be quite dangerous. But before Chu Yanyi could pay more attention to it, he turned around and saw it eating voraciously... The solemnity and vigilance in his heart disappeared completely in an instant.

...Any wild supernatural creature with a bit of backbone would not allow itself to be eaten like a pig.

Chu Yanyi had dangerous contact.

"So you have a contract with it, right?" Zou Tang looked at Qiao Bai and Maomaochong with envy. She didn't know who she was envious of, but she was envious anyway.

Zou Tang stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "It looks like some new species of supernatural creature. But it seems that it can be explained in a place like the forbidden land."

Qiao Bai smiled.

It's really not a big problem.

Although he didn't know what kind of species the cat-worm was, there was no danger to him if he signed a contract with it, especially with regard to the alliance and the country.

Apart from those extraordinary creatures that have been confirmed to exist in populations, can reproduce through artificial means, and can reproduce and pass on their bloodlines on their own, there are occasionally one or two extraordinary creatures that have never been seen but happen to be seen by someone or have been contracted.

As long as the beastmaster and the extraordinary creature reach a consensus and successfully sign a contract, the beastmaster will be responsible for controlling the pet and preventing it from doing anything wrong in the human world. The alliance upholds the spirit of freedom and openness, and can simply register the extraordinary creature after the contract.

And among these extraordinary creatures whose existence cannot be confirmed, or even the second one, not all of them are very powerful. At least most of them are lost in the crowd. Only a very, very small part of them has become quite famous as the strength of the beastmaster increases.

As far as Qiao Bai knew, one of the country's seventh-level beastmasters had a contract with a pet that was not on the list of known species of extraordinary creatures.

Therefore, the other three people present were very open-minded about the fact that Qiao Bai had contracted this cat-worm. As long as Qiao Bai was happy, that was all that mattered.

The only thing they care about now is...

"Qiao Bai, what species name are you going to give your extraordinary creature?" Huo Xiaotian asked with a pale face: "It won't really be that cat... dragon, right?"

It took Huo Xiaotian all his strength to squeeze these three words out of his mouth.

strangeness.

It's really weird.

As soon as he took one look at this guy's appearance, Huo Xiaotian felt as if his eyes were severely hurt.

In fact, after the swelling subsided, the cat regained its original even shape and looked much pleasing to the eye than in the morning.

But seeing that the cat and bug were wolfing down their meal, it seemed as if they wanted to eat up the disposable bowl as well... oh, they had already eaten it.

"Qiao Bai." Huo Xiaotian looked at Qiao Bai with a sincere look: "Don't you think the name 'Eater' is more suitable for it than 'Catworm'?!"

With the look of eating everything, even if Qiao Bai finally registered the names of ferocious beasts such as "Pixiu" and "Taotie", Huo Xiaotian would accept it, but he could not accept that "cat" and "dragon", two cute and majestic creatures, were defiled at the same time!

Qiao Bai didn't say anything, just rolled his eyes at Huo Xiaotian.

It’s settled.

No change.

Sounds very nice.

It's also fun to see other people being shocked by the name.

After all, he is not a devil.

Qiao Bai: Smile

This breakfast was very difficult for Huo Xiaotian.

Chu Yanyi and Zou Tang were fine.

After confirming that with Qiao Bai's restraints, the cat-bug named Xiaoji was not in much danger, Chu Yanyi's vigilance towards the cat-bug completely turned into curiosity and eagerness to try.

"How strong is it?" Chu Yanyi asked, "Do you want to give it a try against my Super Strong Bear?"

In the past few days, Chu Yanyi successfully fought against Zou Tang's Balin turtle and Huo Xiaotian's baby dragon, and the results made Chu Yanyi very satisfied.

Successfully identified and filled in the gaps, discovered my own shortcomings and made up for them in a timely manner.

Unfortunately, after two more battles, when Chu Yanyi figured out their fighting rhythm, Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian were left to be beaten. In the last two days, the two refused to agree to fight against Chu Yanyi.

He would rather continue the fight between the two of them that they are disgusted with each other than be abused by Chu Yanyi!

As for Xiao Wu, none of Chu Yanyi's three pets could defeat him.

After waiting for a long time for a new extraordinary creature, which was Qiao Bai's contracted pet, Chu Yanyi couldn't wait to rush over.

Qiao Bai thought about it, then glanced at the cat and mouse that was following behind him, jumping around happily and having fun playing with its non-existent tail. A thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes.

"Well... can we try it?" After some thought, Qiao Bai agreed.

The battle between Maomaochong and Xiaowu last night was beyond Qiao Bai's imagination.

The cat-and-mouse bug might not have any good means of attack, but its means of dodging and escaping are absolutely first-rate. However, Xiao Wu's strength is too strong for the cat-and-mouse bug, and Qiao Bai cannot feel the cat-and-mouse bug's true potential more intuitively, nor can he have a proper battle with others.

It's just right for him to feel out the background of this cat bug.

"Xiaoji." Qiao Bai picked up the cat and cat.

The cat and cat lay happily in Qiao Bai's arms, shaking its little feet, looking directly at Qiao Bai with its messy eyes, and tilting its head to make a soft "chi" sound in a cute and adorable way.

Qiao Bai: “…”

Xiao Wu: “…”

The little bird flew over and flapped its two big wings on the left and right sides of the cat bug's face without any effort.

Xiao Wu: So fierce.jpg!

No imitating birds to act cute!

The cat and cat hummed a few times while lying in Qiao Bai's arms.

There were four big words written on his face - I'll dare to do it again next time.

Xiao Wu: ╬The cat-bird war is about to break out! Fortunately, Qiao Bai separated the two in time, so that there was no internal war that would weaken their own strength before the battle with Chu Yanyi.

Chu Yanyi, Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian standing next to him were stunned when they saw Qiao Bai's actions.

"Good fellow, will these two really get along well with each other in the future?" Zou Tang said in an uncertain tone, "Are you really not afraid that they will become a house-wrecking duo together?"

Huo Xiaotian couldn't agree more: "It feels like if you don't keep an eye on them, the two of them will fight till the sky is dark, the stars are turning, your family will be left penniless, and your wife and children will be separated."

"You can make sentences." Zou Tang gave Huo Xiaotian a thumbs up.

Although the sentence is irrelevant, it makes the meaning understood very vividly.

Chu Yanyi: "In fact, as long as we help them use up their energy in advance, it won't be as serious as we imagined."

She nodded as she spoke, looking like someone who had experienced this.

Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian thought of the three big bears that Chu Yanyi had contracted, and instantly felt a sense of admiration for her from the bottom of their hearts.

A woman who can raise three big bears at once is definitely not an ordinary woman!

"Do you want to fight again?" Chu Yanyi asked again.

"Okay." Qiao Bai nodded, and put the cat and bug on the ground with his backhand: "Xiaoji, come on, let's see how you perform."

The cat-worm lifted up its plump, invisible chest with a proud and smug expression on its face.

"grumble!"

"Chichi-ah!"

Just look at the dragon, Beastmaster!

You will definitely not be disappointed!

Because of the contract, Qiao Bai understood what Maomaochong meant very well.

Looking at Maomaochong's confident expression, Qiao Bai was also very optimistic about it.

Maybe... he is really the chosen one, a supernatural creature that was casually contracted, and is actually the supernatural creature that is invincible and super awesome in the universe? After the contract, he can remove the seal and kill everyone in a few minutes!

What level or strength is not a question at all... Well, it's still a question.

The cat-worm fights against the powerful bear. Within a minute of the start of the fight, the cat-worm starts running around frantically, looking for a way to escape.

It’s not that Qiao Bai doesn’t want to command Cat, Bug, and Big Bear to have a head-on confrontation, it’s really because Cat, Bug... simply don’t have any serious offensive skills that they can use!

[Mind Guidance] was used twice, but not only did it not cause any damage to Ursa Major, it made Ursa Major more energetic and eager to fight.

Qiao Bai: “?”

Chu Yanyi: “?”

Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian who were watching: "?"

"This Mind Guidance... isn't it a skill that randomly applies negative buffs to the opponent's pet? Why do I feel like it only applies positive buffs?" Huo Xiaotian was afraid that he had accidentally remembered the skill incorrectly, so he turned his head to look at Zou Tang beside him, seeking an answer.

He doesn't remember.

But Zou Tang is an extraordinary biological breeder, so he must remember it.

Zou Tang nodded: "You are right, normally this skill should be like this."

If there wasn't a [Shadow Stealth] that could be used, the Catworm would sneak into the shadows from time to time, and Big Bear would have beaten the Catworm into cute little cookies long ago.

Then, for the next ten minutes of fighting, this chase and escape mode was maintained, with the giant bear chasing relentlessly and the cat and bug fleeing madly, with occasional stealth.

Not to mention Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian who were watching.

Both Qiao Bai and Chu Yanyi wanted to yawn.

"How about... let's just forget about it?" Qiao Bai said hesitantly and uncertainly: "Just treat it as a draw?"

Chu Yanyi's face looked a little gloomy.

It is obvious to the naked eye that, based on strength alone, this cat-worm is definitely no match for the powerful bear.

However! However, Cat and Cat Worm's kite flying and escape skills are really first-class! The powerful bear, who has never been good at speed, can only be walked around when facing an opponent like Cat and Cat Worm who is extremely evasive.

Can't catch, can't beat.

Although he was clearly the stronger party, he still felt very aggrieved.

In the end, I had to grit my teeth and admit the draw.

Just as Chu Yanyi was about to nod reluctantly, Zou Tang suddenly got excited and said, "Wait!"

"Let me take a video first!" Zou Tang took advantage of his single status for so many years to the fullest, took out his cell phone, and took a video in one go.

finally.

Zou Tang put away his hand and looked at the video he had just taken, with a look of satisfaction on his face: "Very good, this is the extraordinary creature version, he chases him and he escapes and he can't escape even if he has wings!"

Chu Yanyi, who just cooperated a little bit, said: ...I feel a kind of regretful feeling.

I don’t want to see any weird secondary creation videos on the Internet.

I'm afraid that she will be the one who gets hurt in the end.

Unfortunately it's too late.

When Giant Bear and Catworm heard that it was a draw, they couldn't wait and stopped their chase at the same time.

Great! No more chasing/running!

The giant bear, which was originally full of energy, fell to the ground with a loud "boom" after hearing Chu Yanyi's command of "stop", raising a cloud of dust.

On the other hand, cats and bugs.

She could even run back to Qiao Bai happily, and then... hugged Qiao Bai's calf with a crying expression on her face.

Qiao Bai grabbed the scruff of the cat bug's neck with amusement, then forcibly separated it from his calves and hugged it tightly in his arms.

"Okay, okay, are you tired? Have a good rest." Qiao Bai said with a smile, and then took out a bottle of nutrient solution from his backpack and handed it to Maomaochong's mouth.

Qiao Bai gently fed the nutrient solution to Maomao Chong: "Drink one, and your strength will be restored in a while."

Cat and Bug: Aaaaaaa! Big mouth, crazy and dazzling!

Maomao Chong looked at Qiao Bai with a crying and tearful expression, wishing that he could stay in Qiao Bai's arms forever.

The beastmaster is awesome! Dragons love beastmasters!

"When Xiaowu saw you running out of breath, he kept patting me and asked me to prepare nutrient solution for you." Qiao Bai understood the extension of the cat and cat worm. He turned his head with amusement to look at Xiaowu who was flapping his wings and standing firmly on his shoulders. Then he continued: "This is not just my credit."

Cat and Bug: “!”

The cat and cat's messy eyes became even more watery.

“Chichi!”

"grumble!"

Bird Boss is the best Bird Boss in the world!

Love you!

The cat and bug hit Xiao Wu directly in the face with a straight ball.

Xiao Wu: “…”

╭(╯^╰)╮

After all, birds are the real pillars of this family!

It's only right to be a little more generous! Besides, the animal tamer loves birds the most!

Xiao Wu took the initiative to move closer to Qiao Bai's cheek and rubbed it hard a few times.

Seeing this, the cat and bug followed suit.

Xiao Wu: Rage.jpg!

The relationship between Xiao Wu and Maomao Chong eased a little, but it broke down again before it lasted even a minute.

Qiao Bai, who was caught in the middle, was in a dilemma: "..."

Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian, who were not far away, looked at it with shining eyes: "Wow! Is this the legendary Shura Field? I didn't expect that one day I would actually see a living person!"

Interesting! Very interesting!

Hit it louder! Qiao Bai: ...hetui!

…

After a lot of chaos, everyone finally returned to the city gate on time on the last day.

They mainly went to pick Yingying grass, and after checking the amount of Yingying grass picked by each person, there was no problem.

But when it was Qiao Bai's turn, the staff frowned after learning that Qiao Bai had contracted a supernatural creature of unknown species.

However, looking at the ages of Qiao Bai and his three companions, as well as the names of the registered guarantors.

The staff member's attitude was not too bad. Instead, he explained to Qiao Bai seriously, "This would have been nothing six months ago. The main thing is that you contracted an unknown species of extraordinary creature... We must report this and then have someone come to confirm it."

"Just in case, I hope you understand."

Qiao Bai rubbed his forehead.

It’s not that I can’t understand it…I just want to know why all the bad luck happens to him.

After thinking about it, Qiao Bai took the initiative to ask, "I'll contact the vice president of the Cultivator Association and ask him to guarantee me. Do you think it's okay?"

If it matters, then use it.

If this happened in NY City, Qiao Bai would have contacted Huang Zhou without hesitation, but this was not the case. Among the closest and most authoritative people, the only one Qiao Bai could think of who was related to him and willing to make such a trip was Cen Yuanjin.

"That's great, it's more convenient this way." The staff nodded.

Qiao Bai sent a message to Cen Yuanjin, explaining the situation he had encountered.

Cen Yuanjin directly sent him an "ok" emoticon.

[Cen Yuanjin: Wait, I’ll come now]

Because it was not important news, Zou Tang happened to see it nearby. She showed a small expression of disgust on her face: "Humph, the vice president must be going crazy with joy now."

Originally, he wanted to dig out Qiao Bai, this young seedling, from Professor Zhou Xinran's field, but he had always been troubled by the lack of opportunity to contact Qiao Bai. Unexpectedly, Qiao Bai would come to him in the blink of an eye. Zou Tang knew how happy the vice president would be without having to think about it.

The car must have been driven so fast that it seemed like it could fly.

As expected.

Less than half an hour.

Cen Yuanjin, who should have a lot of work to do, appeared outside the forbidden area. After learning about Qiao Bai's situation, he readily guaranteed Qiao Bai.

"Take my car." Cen Yuanjin took this opportunity to say, "You must be tired after just coming out of the forbidden land. Do you want to go to our association to rest? I have a private office on the top floor of the association. You can recover your energy and there is no rush to act later."

Don't ask.

The question is, Cen Yuanjin’s map of Yan State is only this long.

As soon as he opened his mouth, his true intention was revealed.

"Vice President Cen, you..." Zou Tang glanced at Qiao Bai next to him, wanting to help Qiao Bai refuse. Qiao Bai shook her head at her, and Zou Tang immediately shut up.

ok.

It’s good that Qiao Bai knows what’s going on.

Zou Tang was afraid that Qiao Bai was fooled by the vice president without even knowing it.

After she calmed down a little, she thought about the in-depth understanding she had of Qiao Bai over the past week... hehe.

Zou Tang showed a standard smile on his face.

If these two people really get together, it's hard to tell who is fooling whom.

Qiao Bai smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Vice President Cen to meet you."

"No trouble, no trouble, not at all." Cen Yuanjin smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed: "By the way, what's the matter with your extraordinary creature?"

At the city gate, there was no time to explain everything in detail, so Cen Yuanjin just had a brief understanding of it.

Out of recognition of Qiao Bai's character.

In addition, Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian were both there, so even if Qiao Bai had any tricks, it would be impossible to hide it from their eyes. By tricking them into lying together, Cen Yuanjin easily helped to guarantee it.

Now that he has some time in the car, Cen Yuanjin will ask in detail.

After all, he was the one who guaranteed it, so he couldn't be completely unaware of the situation.

"It happened that I met him while picking Yingying grass." Qiao Bai easily passed over the countless love, hate and vengeance involved.

岑远近也没有听出哪里有问题，只是顺口乐呵呵地应道：“那还挺巧的啊，不过小唐和小天的运气没你好就是了。”

乔白微笑，没有反驳这不是运气问题：“按照小叽，就是我契约的宠兽自己的意思来说，它是被我采摘的迎迎草的香味给吸引过来的。”

“你采摘的迎迎草的香味……嗯嗯嗯？”

原本只是机械附和，顺便找个话题和乔白聊聊，借机增进一下感情的岑远近听着听着，察觉到了好像有哪里不太对劲的样子。

“迎迎草这东西有香气吗？”岑远近不确定的说道。

身为培育师协会的副会长，岑远近已经有好几年没有亲自带队去采摘过迎迎草了，需要的话协会就有炮制好的随时可以取用，导致他一时不是很确定。

还是邹唐帮忙解围了：“等等，乔白？这个你没有跟我们说过啊！”

乔白明明说的是那只猫猫龙觉得乔白采摘的迎迎草最好看！最干净！

所以才跑来偷吃的！ “对啊，这也是原因的一部分。”乔白眨了眨眼睛，有问题吗？一点都不冲突啊！

邹唐：“……”

很好。

再次确定了乔白就是一个忽悠，大忽悠！ 担心乔白是最没有必要的事情！ 就让乔白和岑副会长相互坑害去吧，她这种凡人还是早点退出属于他们的战场，意识到了这一点的邹唐立刻闭上了嘴巴，不掺和。

坚决不掺和。

看着邹唐这副气呼呼的模样，乔白忍不住笑出声来。

哈哈。

还别说，有那么一点可爱。

但他没有着重和他们三个人提这件事也是有原因的，这本来就只是他的一个猜想，不能确定。

要是说出来的话，邹唐、霍小天或者楚雁翊中的某一个人心血来潮，想要深入证实一下怎么办？ 乔白是真的不想再来一波这样的七天经历了。

刚好。

不小心欠岑远近一个人情，就把这个消息告诉岑远近，当做抵人情了。

不然他肯定是第一时间把这个事情告诉周心然或者黄州的。

听着乔白和邹唐之间的对话，岑远近也意识到了事情好像超出了他的预料，把几个人带到了培育师协会，直接上了顶楼的休息室。

岑远近也不急着走了，他一屁股坐下来，一杯温水灌下去：“说吧，你说的那个迎迎草到底是怎么一回事。”

在开车的路上岑远近也想过，乔白是看透了他真实的想法所以在故弄玄虚不想欠他人情呢，还是真的发现了什么东西呢？

一想到乔白的那些丰功伟绩……发现蜜虫进化路线，发现小火狐新的进化路线，提出“好感度”概念，间接帮助吴青山老教授完成了国家级别的战略性项目……好吧，岑远近更觉得乔白应该是真的发现了点什么。

“首先，我们探讨一个问题，迎迎草为什么不能用机械的方式进行收割。”乔白话题一转，像是故意……不，就是故意的，不说到重点。

岑远近虽然迫不及待地就想要知道乔白的发现，但面对乔白的提问，他还是按捺住了性子回答道：“具体原因不知道，不过因为迎迎草的数量众多，我们怀疑这可能是迎迎草进化出来防止灭绝的一种手段。”

人工采摘的速度能和机械收割相比较吗？

那肯定是不能啊！ 然后又指定了只有御兽师才可以。

要不是迎迎草那过于万能的作用，迎迎草真的就要被当作一种拥有超凡力量的杂草了！ 但是听乔白的意思……“你发现了什么？”岑远近的内心有一种说不出的激动和忐忑，他自己也不知道是为什么。

乔白：“不确定，我只是把我的想法说给你听，岑副会长自行判断。”

不要功劳不背锅。

毕竟欠了人情，能顺手还了最好。

“我问过小叽为什么不吃他们三个采摘的迎迎草，一定要盯着我的嚯嚯，它说我采摘的最干净，能量最充沛。”

最重要的是“能量充沛”这几个字。

岑远近瞬间明白了乔白的意思，眼睛也猛地瞪圆了。

都是迎迎草，为什么会有能量上的差距？ 是什么造成的？！

不等岑远近发问，乔白就主动说道：“我思来想去，造成这个可能性的只有一个原因——我和小乌之间的好感度非常高，我是抱着要给小乌最好的心情去挑选采摘的这些迎迎草。”

好感度。

爱意。

情感。

说起来都是一些很玄之又玄的东西。

是真是假……乔白也不确定。

想要验证有点过于花时间，还不知道验证出来有多大的作用，乔白有些可惜，天赋技能对这迎迎草这种只蕴含一点超凡之力的草药没有任何观测作用。

不然说不定他还能再走一个捷径呢。

“就是这样。”乔白说完双手一摊：“岑副会长可以看看有没有兴趣研究。”

有兴趣研究吗？

当然有！ 迎迎草作为一种万能的草药，这么多年来他们一直都没有发现迎迎草有所谓的蕴含能量多少的区分，也就一直把迎迎草当作一种稳定的基础草药来使用。

可如果迎迎草也能进行细分呢？ 他们又是因为什么原因一直没有发现？ 蕴含能量更多的迎迎草用来制作药剂会不会有什么特殊之处？ 身为培育师，这本来就在他们研究、学习的课程之中。

“那个……”岑远近像是突然想到了什么：“乔白，你采摘的迎迎草……能分我一点吗？”

在亲自去实验研究之前，岑远近想起乔白不是还带了不少迎迎草出来嘛！ 乔白：“……”

好家伙！ 我是来给你还人情的。

你是来薅我羊毛的是吧？

看着岑远近那不好意思的搓手表情，一口气回绝了……乔白也做不到这么狠心。

想了想，乔白忍者一脸肉痛，从满满一大束两斤左右分量的迎迎草中……抽出一根递给了岑远近。

“就这么多，没有更多了，不然我回去不够做窝用的。”乔白一脸冷酷的说道。

这会轮到岑远近沉默了。

盯着手里那一根孤零零的迎迎草，再看看乔白背包里插着的那满满一大束的迎迎草，岑远近说道：“再多点行不？这一根……实在是不够用啊！”

然后乔白又从一束里面抽出了一根：“两根，真的没有了，我整整七天才摘出这么一点点来！再给我就没有了！”

说完，乔白露出一副“此地不宜久留”的表情。

“差不多了，该说的我都说了，我买个机票就准备回晋阳了。”

再多留一会儿？

乔白怕他这一束迎迎草最后连一根都留不下来了！ ……

“哈哈哈！你小子是真的损！”黄州给乔白打来电话，在电话那头笑得非常大声地说道。

“你在东洲市发生的事情我都知道了，能让岑远近那小子打电话来给我吐槽你，你本事也是大得很。”

“还有你新契约的那个超凡生物，也还要登记是吧？”

“别去晋阳市了，直接回我们NY市，刚好还有一个好消息告诉你！你要是知道了肯定高兴！”

黄州声音中的喜悦藏都藏不住。

乔白稍稍一想，立刻猜到了：“黄叔，小火狐的进化路线确定下来了？”

“哎——？！”黄州大笑的声音猛地停了下来，然后带着几分无奈地说道：“好吧好吧，本来我还想等你回来再告诉你这个好消息的，没想到你提前猜到了。”

“不啰唆了，你小子赶紧回来！”

乔白无奈：“我昨天才回晋阳市，今天就又要回去南阳……我感觉我不是在路上就是在路上。”

这哪里是过年。

这分明就是他的苦难日！

自从年后，他就没有个时间能好好坐下来，好好地带着小乌训练训练。

哦。

中途确实是运气不错，小乌进化成功。

但现在他这不是又多了一只宠兽嘛！

Moreover, the innate skills cannot play a big role on the cat-cat worm... Qiao Bai has a headache about the next evolutionary direction of the cat-cat worm.

"The new evolutionary path of the little Firefox has been confirmed. You, the greatest contributor, cannot be absent during the celebration banquet! Otherwise, what's the point!" Huang Zhou said loudly, almost cursing at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai: "Okay, okay, Uncle Huang, I get it. We'll definitely go to the headquarters."

As Qiao Bai spoke, there was a hint of helplessness on his face.

"It's settled. Report to the Beast Taming Alliance tomorrow morning!" Huang Zhou hung up the phone after saying that.

Qiao Bai sighed.

Before I could even get comfortable here, I had to go and tell Zhou Xinran that I was going back to NY City.

Fortunately, Zhou Xinran was not surprised after hearing this: "That's normal. Run more. You won't be so free when school starts."

As he spoke, Zhou Xinran's lenses reflected a flash of white light.

Qiao Bai: “…”

I have a premonition of life after college starts, but Qiao Bai is not afraid. He will deal with it as it comes.

You can’t take out a loan in advance and worry about the future.

Otherwise, how can we survive the present life?

Zhou Xinran agreed and simply said hello to Chu Yanyi. After all, the two of them had been to a forbidden land together, and they might have to form a team to participate in a competition after school started. Being a little polite and courteous to each other was also an important part of the emotional exchange.

It takes about three or four hours to get back to NY City from Jinyang City.

Qiao Bai set out in the early morning of the next day and arrived just in time for the NY City Beast Taming Alliance to open.

The lady at the front desk who was in charge of opening the door and had met Qiao Bai more than once recognized him immediately. She immediately gave him a warm and enthusiastic smile with eight teeth: "Hello, are you here to see President Huang?"

Qiao Bai nodded.

The lady at the front desk made a gesture to Qiao Bai, and the process was familiar to her.

You can go upstairs after proving your identity.

"The president has already talked to the front desk yesterday and reserved time for you. You can just go up from here." The lady at the front desk showed Qiao Bai the way.

Qiao Bai nodded to her: "Thank you."

After saying that, Qiao Bai turned and left.

The lady at the front desk couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Look and see!

The difference between people.

A year ago, she was the front desk receptionist of the alliance. Qiao Bai didn't know that she was an unknown person in that corner.

More than seven months ago, she was the front desk receptionist of the alliance, and Qiao Bai was the lucky one who discovered the evolutionary route of the honey bug.

Half a year ago, she was the front desk receptionist of the alliance, and Qiao Bai was a rising star genius who discovered a new evolutionary path for the little Firefox.

Now she is still the front desk receptionist of the alliance, while Qiao Bai is already a household name in the whole country... or at least in the whole city of NY! The child of someone else's family!

As she thought about it, the lady at the front desk sighed.

Forget it, it's good to be a league receptionist honestly. When I get older, I can switch to administrative work. Don't take on a job that you don't have the skills to do. It's enough to do what you can do.

Well, someone has to do the front desk work!

I can take this opportunity to get closer to Qiao Bai, and maybe I can even get some of his genius!

The lady at the front desk quickly regrouped and thought happily.

…

Qiao Bai thought he had arrived very early, but he didn't expect that Huangzhou and Sun Guoping and Gu Hongyu and their spouses arrived even earlier.

He had just walked to the office door when he heard a heated discussion coming from inside.

"The new evolutionary path of the little fox is very unique! It involves the first evolution of favorability! It should be publicized!"

This is Sun Guoping's voice.

With the sound of fierce slapping of the table, it was easy to hear how excited he was.

Then Huang Zhou's calmer voice came: "I know what you mean, but the appearance of an extraordinary creature with extreme defense is not good under this name. It is easy to hurt the public's perception of Qiao Bai."

"When the concept of favorability was first proposed, the Firefox Queen was used to represent it! Why can't it be promoted in this way?" Sun Guoping was very dissatisfied.

After a few simple conversations, Qiao Bai roughly understood the point of their argument.

As the president of the NY City Beast Taming Alliance, Huangzhou wanted to quietly use ordinary means to promote the new evolutionary route of the little fox.

In fact, this is also the publicity method used by most supernatural creatures after new evolutionary routes are discovered.

On the contrary, it is relatively rare for the evolutionary path of honey bugs to be widely publicized and exposed, and it has also taken advantage of the common people.

Until now.

The evolutionary path of the fairy butterfly continues to provide Qiao Bai with points of public recognition.

Qiao Bai: The power of the masses is awesome! But Sun Guoping disagrees.

Because of the publicity method of the honey bug's evolution in the first place, and then the aura of genius surrounding Qiao Bai, plus the wave of publicity from old professor Wu Qingshan on the Spring Festival Gala, Sun Guoping wanted to widely publicize the new evolutionary route of the little Firefox.

After thinking about it, Qiao Bai knocked on the door.

The quarreling sounds in the room suddenly quieted down.

"It's me, Uncle Huang." Qiao Bai smiled and pushed open the door. He looked at the three people in the room and greeted them one by one: "Professor Sun, Professor Gu."

Sun Guoping's expression was a little stiff. Gu Hongyu smiled and nodded to Qiao Bai: "Qiao Bai, you're back? It's quite early. Have you had breakfast?"

"I haven't eaten yet." Qiao Bai walked into the house.

Huang Zhou: "You don't have to come so early. It's not a big deal if you eat first. Now that you're here... Come on, sit down and eat something first."

As he spoke, Huang Zhou pointed to the small coffee table over there which was filled with exquisite breakfast, which was obviously prepared for Qiao Bai.

Huangzhou: I predicted that Qiao Bai would come with an empty stomach.

Qiao Bai smiled and accepted Huangzhou's kindness.

"Uncle Huang, Professor Sun, I heard you guys arguing when I came here." Qiao Bai took out a bowl of sweet bean brains and said while eating, "What are you arguing about?"

Qiao Bai looked like he didn't hear much.

Mainly, he wanted to know where the real disagreement between Huang Zhou and Sun Guoping lay.

It's just a publicity thing.

Is it necessary to quarrel so fiercely?

"Ahem." Upon hearing this, Huang Zhou put his fist against his lips and coughed twice. He spoke in a standard official tone: "Qiao Bai, this matter... may be a little unfair to you."

Qiao Bai: “?”

"We are not planning to publicize it in a big way. We should keep a low profile and make money by being low-key!" Huang Zhou said sincerely, and he also sincerely felt that doing so would be unfair to Qiao Bai.
