Chapter 455 Thunder Rabbit Evolution Experiment

“Thunder Rabbit, this is a research project that you and Xiaoxue are working on together.”

"Therefore, based on this research topic, Xiaoxue developed a brand new evolutionary form of Thunder Rabbit."

"She has completed most of her experiments; now all that's missing is a reproducibility experiment."

"Ye Bai, please help Xiaoxue complete the reproduction experiment."

"With your talent, completing this experiment shouldn't be too difficult."

Ye Bai hesitated for a moment: "Grandmaster, although this was a project that my teacher and I completed together, my teacher made a lot of improvements on it. Now it's just one step away from completion. Would it be appropriate for me to take over at this time?"

Su Qingxian looked at Ye Bai with her clear gaze.

“Silly child, this is a project that I, your grandmaster, have specially selected for you.”

"You think you can just casually get into a world-class research conference?"

"Even accompanying personnel must submit a sixth-order project and must have relevant experimental records."

"Even if you win the world-class youth researcher conference, you are not qualified to participate in this competition."

She paused.

"Moreover, Xiaoxue didn't do much in your early research, but she published a paper and got the first authorship for nothing."

"Right now, you're just participating in an experiment that's almost finished. In the end, you're the one who's losing out more."

"Besides, you were involved in the Thunder Rabbit project, and it's a well-established project."

"Everything has a traceable pattern."

"Even the reviewers from the world-class research association can't say anything about you."

"Or you could use these next few days to see if you can improve this experiment."

"With your photographic memory, you can naturally deduce thousands of possibilities."

Su Qingxian stood up from her chair.

"Ye Bai, I am called the number one person in the history of Yan Kingdom research, but this is an empty title."

"Since the successful evolution of the positive and negative electric rabbit into the Thunder Rabbit, the Thunder Rabbit has been mass-produced."

“Your research talent is stronger than both mine and Xiaoxue’s. I asked the leaders above to let you go with me to this world-class research conference so that you could make more connections.”

"I hope you can become a world-class nurturing master and a world-class researcher."

"You can have as many experimental samples as you want, but you absolutely cannot waste them."

Su Qingxian said earnestly.

"Take this stack of documents and take a look. If you want to do experiments, go to laboratory A113."

"That lab has already recorded your fingerprints and iris scans. You can just go there to do the experiment."

"We expect to depart in five days."

“I will inform you a day in advance that we will be traveling by small plane to minimize the chances of our whereabouts being exposed.”

"The main thing is for you to familiarize yourself with the whole experimental process. It's good if you can do the reproducibility experiment, but it doesn't matter if you can't."

"There will be only the three of us traveling, plus the driver. The fewer people there are, the less risk of exposure there will be."

Su Qingxian's plan was well arranged, and Ye Bai wouldn't say anything more.

If I say anything more, I'll just seem pretentious.

He picked up a thick stack of documents and left.

Laboratory A113.

The outside of this laboratory is labeled "Thunder Rabbit Evolution Exclusive Laboratory".

This means that this laboratory is specifically used for experiments on the evolution of Thunder Rabbit.

Such laboratories are common at Imperial Capital University.

The reason is that every evolutionary experiment needs to simulate various evolutionary scenarios.

Each type of pet has different evolutionary requirements.

The large-scale equipment used are all different.

They will occupy the laboratory until the experiment yields results.

Schools generally don't interfere too much unless there's a significant mistake.

The laboratory uses fingerprint and iris scanning for unlocking.

The door clicked open.

The entire laboratory is as big as a football field.

The place was spotless, and rows of enormous devices simulating lightning appeared.

Countless thick cables connect this device.

Ye Bai came to a conclusion: this experiment must have cost a lot of electricity.

He saw a large rotating device, which seemed to allow for artificial power generation.

Ye Bai looked around and found the logistics exchange system.

For some reason, the logistics exchange system cannot be turned on.

"It's troublesome, I have to go to the school's logistics department."

Ye Bai frowned.

"Never mind, let's go to the logistics department and pick out some resources while we're at it."

Ye Bai redeemed his contribution points, and currently he is equivalent to a lecturer at Imperial University, receiving a considerable amount of resources every month.

In fact, Ye Bai's contribution points were enough to qualify him for a university professorship, but Zhang Lingxue asked Ye Bai to keep a low profile, otherwise he might become a thorn in the side of other countries.

If Ye Bai becomes a lecturer and has research topics, he can apply for some research projects. The school will evaluate whether these topics are suitable and provide some resources.

School Logistics Department.

A very attractive young woman was working when Ye Bai walked over.

"Hello, this is employee number 28. How can I help you, Instructor Ye Bai?"

The young lady looked up and asked Ye Bai earnestly.

Ye Bai became a lecturer at such a young age, and his future prospects are definitely limitless.

"Hello, the logistics exchange system in Laboratory A113 is unable to be turned on for some reason. Please arrange for a technician to come and fix it."

"At the same time, I need to exchange for fifty Thunder Rabbits."

The young woman entered Ye Bai's requirements into the computer.

"Laboratory A113's research project is the Thunder Rabbit Evolution Experiment, and the maximum exchange limit is one hundred Thunder Rabbits."

"Do you need any other experimental equipment or props?"

At this moment, Ye Bai recalled the evolution conditions of the Thunder Rabbit.

【Name: Thunder Rabbit】

[Gender: Male]

[Attribute: Thunder]

[Level: Tier 4, Level 1]

【Skill: Herbivorous (Proficient): Eat large amounts of wild grass to restore the stamina consumed and heal injuries.】

Thunder Fist (Proficient): Controlling lightning in one's hand and unleashing a powerful punch.

Double Kick (Mastery): Use your powerful hind legs to kick the enemy hard. Even hard rocks can be shattered by the negatively charged rabbit's kick. This move is also called Rabbit Kick.

Electricity Generation (Proficient): Releases the current absorbed into the body, with a certain probability of causing paralysis. Thunderstorm (Beginner): Summons countless thumb-sized bolts of lightning from the sky to strike the opponent.

100,000 Volts (Beginner): Releases 100,000 volts of electricity to attack the opponent, with a certain probability of paralyzing them.

[Evolution Route 1: Thunder Rabbit, 10 Tier 6 Thunder Crystal Cores, after being baptized by thunder, finally transforms into Thunder Rabbit.]

[Evolution Route 2: Thunder Rabbit: 3 Tier 6 Thunder Crystal Cores, after being baptized by thunder, finally transform into a Thunder Rabbit.]

"I need a large number of sixth-order lightning crystal cores."

The young woman typed on the computer for a while.

"Currently, there aren't many sixth-tier lightning-type crystal cores left. Instructor Ye Bai, you should also know that lightning-type crystal cores are not easy to obtain."

"At present, we can only provide you with ten sixth-tier lightning-type crystal cores."

"Of course, if you acquire a batch of lightning-type crystal cores, you can also get reimbursed by the logistics department."

"Your experiment has been designated as a key experiment in Yan Country, and the experimental subsidy is more than enough to cover the expenses."

We don't have enough lightning-type crystal cores!
This is a bit of a headache.

After all, the evolution of a Thunder Rabbit requires ten sixth-order lightning-type crystal cores.

At this moment, Ye Bai thought of something: "Could you help me check what materials the lab ordered previously?"

"Please wait."

The young woman typed on the keyboard for a few moments and printed out a list.

"Hello, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Lecturer Ye Bai. This is the list of items the laboratory previously ordered."

Ye Bai took a look and found that there were indeed many lightning-type evolution materials inside, but unexpectedly, Ye Bai did not see any sixth-order lightning-type crystal cores among these materials.

This proves that Professor Zhang Lingxue may have taken a different approach and used other materials to replace the sixth-order lightning crystal core.

Or perhaps she discovered a new evolutionary path for Thunder Rabbit.

Ye Bai felt that the second conjecture was more likely, as he relied on his "eye of truth," while Professor Zhang Lingxue relied on her rich experimental experience.

"Give me another 100 kilograms of Thunder Pine Nuts, in their whole state, that's fine. I can take them out myself. Also, 100 kilograms of Lightning Bananas."

Just then, the young lady suddenly said, "Lecturer Ye Bai, there's something I must remind you of."

"Recently, the school has been restricting the power supply to every laboratory, which may affect your experiments."

"According to the records of the logistics department, the experiments consumed millions of volts of electricity every day for a month."

"The school's power supply system is also insufficient, so we had no choice but to make this restriction."

"The daily current consumption of a laboratory must not exceed 100,000 volts."

"I see," Ye Bai frowned.

If it doesn't receive enough electricity, the chances of Thunder Rabbit evolving to the next stage become extremely slim.

Of course, Ye Bai understood the school's predicament, since it was too expensive to run on electricity.

The school's electricity meters are spinning like tops; they probably won't stop.

However, given Vice Principal Su Qingxian's support, they were too embarrassed to criticize her and could only impose such restrictive measures.

"Alright, send the materials over. I'll handle the rest myself."

"thanks for your reminder."

Ye Bai stood up, took out his phone, and checked the weather conditions in the vicinity.

If there are thunderstorms recently, that would be even better.

If all else fails, the only option is to find a Thunderous Secret Realm.

However, there has been no rain in the capital recently. The nearest thunderstorm point is in Donghai Province, which is currently experiencing the strongest thunderstorm in history.

Ye Bai took out his phone, intending to make a reservation for the Thunder Secret Realm, but all the secret realms affiliated with the Imperial Capital University were fully booked.

His only option at the moment is to go to Donghai Province.

The East China Sea Province is about a day's distance from the capital. If we use the Devouring Pelican Space Teleportation, we should be able to get there within two hours.

If all else fails, a private plane will do; it would take about five hours.

Ye Bai returned to the laboratory and checked the equipment. Sure enough, due to the school's power rationing, the equipment was underpowered and its capacity was only half of what it used to be.

If the current equipment is used to conduct experiments, problems will almost certainly occur.

Using 100,000 volts to simulate a thunderstorm for Thunder Rabbit wouldn't work either, because the amount of current loaded on each Thunder Rabbit is different.

Uneven current load will inevitably lead to 100% failure in the experiment.

"There's no other way, I'll have to go to Donghai Province myself."

At this moment, both the repairman and the young lady delivering the supplies arrived at the door.

"Instructor Ye Bai, here are the fifty Thunder Rabbits you requested, already loaded into the Beast Card."

"The remaining supplies are all in this spatial backpack. Please check them."

Ye Bai inspected the goods on the spot and, after confirming that there were no problems, signed the receipt in front of everyone.

The laboratory system was also restored thanks to the electrician's repairs.

"It should still be possible to go to Donghai Province now."

"Half a day to go, half a day to come back, four days for the experiment, that's enough."

With his Eye of Truth, Ye Bai was like a high-achieving student who already knew the answer, making the Thunder Rabbit evolve without any problems at all.

Releasing pets of level seven or higher is prohibited within Imperial University; violators will be severely punished.

So, as soon as Ye Bai stepped out of the school gate, he encountered Lan Fa, who was leisurely walking with his unicorn wind wolf.

The human and the beast had a very good relationship; the unicorn wind wolf was still shaking its head, giving off the vibe of a husky.

When they saw Ye Bai, they showed expressions of horror, as if they had been caught cheating.

Unicorn Wind Wolf: Oh no, what do we do now that we've been discovered?
Lanfa: Why is Ye Bai at the school gate at this time?

Both sides gave awkward laughs. The Unicorn Wind Wolf and Lan Fa, who had been arm in arm and looking like good buddies, now stood far apart inside, as if they had suddenly encountered some bad luck.

Ye Bai, on the other hand, had an expression that said, "I knew it."

"Alright, stop pretending. I can tell there's something wrong with the way you two are looking at each other."

"Lanfa, if you really like the unicorn wind wolf, then take it."

Anyway, Ye Bai's contract slots are already full, so he can't complete the contract with the Unicorn Wind Wolf.

"Haha, my friendship with the Unicorn Wind Wolf is purely platonic; there's no fake relationship of mutual benefit between us."

"But since you've put it that way, Ye Bai, I'll just have to swallow my pride and accept the One-Horned Wind Wolf."

A bright smile spread across Lanfa's face.

Looking at the man and the wolf, Ye Bai suddenly felt as if he had achieved a perfect ending.

"By the way, Ye Bai, where are you going at this hour?"

Lanfa asked, puzzled.

"I?"

"I need to go to Thunder Canyon in Donghai Province. It is the site of the most powerful thunderstorm in history. I need to conduct an experiment there."

"I have to get there now, I need to get there as soon as possible."

Just as Ye Bai was about to summon the Sky-Devouring Pelican, Lan Fa stopped him.

"Ye Bai, when you go to Donghai Province, you can take the newest maglev express train. It will take about three hours to reach Thunder Canyon, and the whole journey is very labor-saving."
