Suddenly becoming the focus of the topic, the guardian spirit felt a little shy and went to prepare the daily energy drinks for everyone.
Xie Qingwei smiled as she watched her hurriedly walk away, and continued, "Xiao Ye's full name is Ye Ruxi, and she is a good friend of mine who grew up together."
"Woo-lululul!" The guardian spirit beside the tea table made a corrective sound when he heard this.
"Okay, best friend! Xiaoye grew up with me and is my best and dearest friend." Xie Qingwei said seriously.
After hearing her say it so bluntly, the guardian spirit felt a little embarrassed and continued to fill his energy drink.
"We were born in the same hospital, lived in the same neighborhood, and went to the same kindergarten and elementary school. We saw each other every day since we were born and were almost never apart."
Xie Qingwei paused, and a look of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.
"But there is one thing about Xiaoye's parents... they prefer Xiaoye's brother and don't pay much attention to their daughter."
"So Xiaoye liked to come and play with me more. At that time, she told me that we should always be good friends and stay together even when we grow older."
Upon hearing this, the back of the guardian spirit's slender ears turned red, and it made a weak sound: "Woo woo woo woo..."
Those were things we said in kindergarten, right? Why are we still talking about them now?
"It wasn't until junior high school that we encountered an accident caused by a supernatural creature. A filthy spider appeared in the river not far from our community."
Mu Huoyue's heart subconsciously tightened. The high-level warrior race of the dark and insect types, the filthy spiders, are extremely dangerous supernatural creatures.
They build nests in dark and humid places, and drag nearby prey into the nest to form cocoons, providing nutrition for the eggs that are about to hatch.
The Filthy Spider is a dark creature that particularly likes humans with strong emotions as a source of nutrition. It usually hides in its nest, but during the ovulation period it becomes extremely irritable and aggressive, capturing all prey indiscriminately.
"I was actually arguing with Xiaoye that day. I can't remember exactly what it was about, but it was just some awkwardness between teenage girls. I rarely went home with her after school, but walked back alone."
"When I was passing through the river, I was tied up by the Filthy Spider and taken into its lair."
"Xiao Ye went to my house to look for me, but didn't see me. He thought I was still on the way, so he walked back along the way he went home from school to see if he could "accidentally" run into me walking home alone. ”
"She didn't find me, but she saw my brother hanging out with someone else, so she planned to take him home."
"When we got to the river, Xiaoye discovered traces of the Filthy Spider. They were dragged into the spider's nest and saw me in a cocoon."
"After discovering me, Xiaoye directly tore open the unformed cocoon and rescued me."
Speaking of this, Xie Qingwei couldn't help but smile, "It's hard to imagine now, but I was just a weak child who could only cry at that time. Xiaoye was much braver."
She paused and subconsciously reached into the pocket of her research coat for a cigarette, but again only took out a lollipop.
Xiaoye's supervision of smoking cessation and health care is as thorough as ever.
"Xiao Ye asked me to escape from the spider's nest and go find an adult to call for help. I ran all the way back to the community, and my memory of what happened afterwards is very fuzzy. The scene seemed very chaotic. My parents were talking about something, and then they jumped to the other side of the river. The executor from the Affairs Bureau and the animal tamer from the police station came over..."
Xie Qingwei stopped, tore open the wrapper of the lollipop and put it in her mouth.
Mu Huoyue sensed Xiaoye's fate from her eyes.
"They were rescuing people... Xiaoye's parents were also at the scene. They rescued Xiaoye's brother first, but by the time they found Xiaoye, she had already stopped breathing in the cocoon."
"As someone who was saved by Xiaoye, I may not be qualified to say this, but—"
"Woo woo woo." The guardian spirit that flew over at some point interrupted Xie Qingwei's words. The black mist in the shape of wings behind it stretched out like human arms, giving the beastmaster a gentle hug.
Don't say that I'm not qualified. Even if the same scene happens again, I will still try my best to save you first, Xie Xiaowei.
Xie Qingwei seemed to smile, but her eyes were moist. She reached back and touched the cold body of the guardian spirit.
"After the accident, I took a year off from school. I couldn't accept Xiaoye's death no matter what. I even wondered why I wasn't the one who died in the cocoon."
"It wasn't until I was sixteen that I awakened and became a beastmaster. I saw the spirit behind me."
“She’s always there for me.”
"Wululululu~" the guardian spirit smiled.
We agreed to stay together forever, and I won’t break my promise.
"After that, it was a lighter memory. Xiaoye couldn't stand seeing my decadent look, and she didn't want the person she had tried so hard to save to become like this. Under her supervision, I successfully finished high school and took the professional assessment, and I have been doing this until now."
"Xiao Ye is the original intention of my research on dark attribute extraordinary creatures."
Xie Qingwei also smiled with curved eyebrows, "I will live the rest of my life well and let Xiaoye see what kind of person the girl I saved will become... This is the [Contract] between her and me."
"I absolutely don't want to lose her again. The skill [Symbiosis] is more of my obsession than Xiaoye's wish..."
Xie Qingwei looked at her guardian spirit and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you if you wanted to evolve. Without the connection between [Symbiosis], I would be the first to collapse... Hey, I've been staying up too many nights lately, and my brain is not working properly anymore."
The black mist in the shape of the guardian spirit's wings gently patted the beastmaster's shoulder.
"Um... Teacher Xie, if possible, let me give the report and speech at the exchange conference!" Feng Le said courageously.
Hearing this, Mu Chuyue and Xie Qingwei both looked at him. This was not an easy task for Feng Le. It was difficult for him to communicate smoothly in front of strangers. Taking the initiative to talk to Mu Chuyue was the result of exhausting his life's courage.
Asking him to give a public speech at a conference with thousands of people is as difficult as going through fire and water.
"This is Tutu, and also my [ritual]." Feng Le made up his mind and continued, "If you don't want your guardian spirit to evolve, Tutu and I will become the third group of physical experiments and complete it at the exchange conference."
Xie Qingwei was stunned for a moment, then she smiled, pulled Feng Le over and rubbed his head.
"I understand. I'll leave it to you, Feng Le."
…
A week later, the [University Attribute Research and Exchange Conference] held in the capital Jingjiang City officially kicked off.
This is an annual grand event for attribute research. Scholars from all over the country gather in the capital to discuss and exchange the most cutting-edge academic discoveries.
At each exchange conference, the top three most influential research results will be selected, and they will receive a large amount of follow-up research funds, as well as various rare resources and secret realm training opportunities set up by the Beastmaster Association.
Since the exchange conference was held in Jingjiang City, the researchers from Jingzhou University saved themselves the trouble of traveling and could simply go directly to the venue when the time came.
The exchange conference was held at the International Conference Center in the city center, a grand and iconic building.
Mu Huiyue passed by that area during the summer vacation and felt that the capital was different and far surpassed other provincial capitals in cultural construction. He didn't expect that he would be able to experience the feeling of participating in a research conference here so soon.
There are only two people in Xie Qingwei's project team, she and Feng Le, and it is the most streamlined one among many attribute research teams.
The three of them arrived at the International Conference Center early in the morning, found their own exhibition hall, and made some advance arrangements.
Mu Huiyue got the introductory brochure of the exchange conference at the entrance of the venue and flipped through it with great interest.
There are a total of thirty research results participating in this exchange conference, all of which are high-level projects that have been registered and screened in advance. There are research teams from major universities, as well as some independent research institutes that have been funded by enterprises and have achieved results.
Mu Liuyue saw several familiar figures among them.
The first is the Log Research Institute of Yunzhou University where Lin Lin is working. The project they are participating in the exchange conference is exactly the special skill - inverted space - that appeared in the qualifying round before.
There is also a team from Sinju University, whose research topic is about [Directions and Development Trends in Breeding of Intelligent Pets]. This is a project developed in collaboration with universities in the Nova region.
Mu Chuyue also saw a thunder attribute research team from Hongzhou University. Their project was about [The impact of beast taming contracts on the potential of pets]. This was somewhat related to their project, which aroused Mu Chuyue's curiosity.
I wonder from which direction the research team of Hongzhou University will explore the changes that [Contract] brings to pets?
She was leisurely flipping through the brochure, but Feng Le, who was sitting next to her, was extremely nervous and was muttering the opening words of the speech.
This time, Professor Xie Qingwei completely let go and handed the research report over to two students to complete. Feng Le was the main lecturer, and Mu Huiyue was responsible for assisting in presenting data and other work.
Feng Le recited the opening words three times, with different mistakes each time, and suddenly felt a little desperate.
He looked at his schoolmate who looked calm and composed. Mu Liuyue didn't seem nervous at all.
"Do you have any way to relieve tension, Hiiragi?" Feng Le asked, "Besides deep breathing, I have been taking deep breaths since I got up today, but it has no effect at all..."
"I'll be nervous too." Mu Yuyue smiled, and seeing Feng Le's unconvincing look, she continued, "Do something else to distract yourself now, or think about your future plans."
She showed Feng Le her phone, which contained not data related to the research project but a stock market chart.
Feng Le was surprised. It turned out that Mu Chuyue was looking at her phone so seriously before. He thought she was reviewing the data in the research report, but he didn't expect that she was looking at a website related to financial investment.
"Then, I'll try it too..." Feng Le turned his head and closed his eyes, trying to think about something other than the speech.
A tattered rabbit doll floated over, and its short furry hands gently patted the beastmaster's shoulder, cheering him on.
Mu Huoyue closed the introductory booklet and took a look at the trend chart on his phone, which showed industries related to the teaching of extraordinary skills.
When the results of the Dark Attribute Research Institute are released, the news that [it can change the evolution method of the pet beast's talent core] will spread throughout Da Yan and even the world, refreshing people's understanding of the talent core skills.
Once the talent core has the possibility of changing, the demand for teaching some low-level practical skills with higher-level skills will definitely increase greatly.
After all, a stable evolution path for core talents and skills is roughly equivalent to a stable evolution path for pets.
Before this, Mu Chuyue had specifically communicated with Mr. Luo of Yanluo Study and asked her to slow down the arrangement of teaching courses and make plans after the exchange conference was over and relevant news reports came out.
At the same time, she also mobilized part of the funds at her disposal to buy a large number of stocks in the skills teaching field.
After the conference, the stocks of these companies will inevitably soar. If you sell them at the high point, you will definitely make a profit.
This is a rare opportunity to seize the moment and release positive news to the market, so of course you can't waste it.
Thinking about the possible profits she could make in the future, Mu Huoyue couldn't help but smile. She turned off her phone and looked up, and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
It was Lin Lin, wearing the uniform of the Haragi Research Institute.
When the other person saw her, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and walked towards her.
"Mu Shuyue?"
