Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 75 Undercurrent
"That's strange, where did the error go wrong?"

"The steps are exactly the same! How come some of the 'Hundred Transformations Silkworm' evolved into the Gray Poison Moth?"

Ye Bai murmured, he couldn't understand it, he really couldn't understand it.

Zhang Lingxue rolled her eyes at Ye Bai: "You don't actually think that the Gu Group's Hundred Transformations Silkworm can evolve into a Blood Gu Butterfly, do you?"

"The Poison Group's Hundred Transformations Silkworm can all evolve into Blood Poison Moth, right?"

"In my opinion, this result has exceeded my expectations."

"The reproducibility rate of the Gu group reached 40%, while that of the Poison group reached 60%, which is quite astonishing."

"I am already very satisfied with the fact that it far exceeds the 10% standard set by the international alliance."

"Furthermore, Ye Bai, have you noticed a key point?"

"After the Hundred Transformations Silkworm failed to evolve into the Blood Gu Butterfly, it did not turn into the Gray Poison Moth, but instead evolved into the Blood Poison Moth."

"This is a groundbreaking discovery that breaks the prevailing notion among the current school of thought on the ever-changing silkworm that after failing to evolve, the ever-changing silkworm can only evolve into the gray tussock moth."

"In other words, the Blood Gu played a crucial role in the evolution of the Hundred Transformations Silkworm."

Zhang Lingxue said with great excitement.

This is a major breakthrough. As the main researcher who discovered the Hundred-Change Silkworm, various alliances around the world have also launched a wave of research on the Hundred-Change Silkworm. However, according to the information that Zhang Lingxue currently has, the Hundred-Change Silkworm will invariably turn into a Gray Poison Moth after it fails to evolve.

But today, the exception has been broken!

After Zhang Lingxue's reminder, Ye Bai also realized this.

This truly breaks the stereotype that the Hundred-Change Silkworm will turn into a Gray Poison Moth after failing to evolve, and the research on the Hundred-Change Silkworm has taken a major step forward.

However, we can only draw a final conclusion after all the pets have emerged from their cocoons.

After another day, the silkworm cocoons finally burst open.

This is exactly as Zhang Lingxue predicted.

This experiment produced a total of two fourth-order Bloodgu Butterflies, six Blood Poison Moths, and two Gray Poison Moths.

Zhang Lingxue stretched, her bones cracking, and then she let out a big yawn.

His eyes were filled with exhaustion.

"Ye Bai, let's go back and rest first."

"I will personally go to greet my teacher when she arrives the day after tomorrow."

"I need to catch up on sleep now, otherwise I'll get old and won't be able to get married."

Ye Bai yawned as he walked out of the research institute. Once he returned to his incubation room, he collapsed onto his bed and fell asleep immediately.

The experiment lasted for three days and three nights. Ye Bai and Zhang Lingxue relied on sunflower nectar to stay awake, taking short naps when they were sleepy and waking up immediately at the slightest noise.

This is the norm for researchers; they must monitor the entire experimental process, otherwise all their efforts may be in vain.

Sometimes, crucial moments just flash by, leaving no chance to make amends.

By this time, the Sunflower King had finished clearing away the remains of the strange beasts in Deep Sea City and Sanshui City.

The invaders of Deepsea City are ancient lanternfish, a type of ugly deep-sea creature that normally lives only in the deep sea. For some unknown reason, they have launched a large-scale invasion of Deepsea City.

It has sharp teeth, a long tongue, and a crystal on its head that can emit light like a light bulb.

Its eyes were as big as copper bells, and its body emitted a foul stench, which became even stronger after it died, smelling like dead fish and rotten shrimp that had been fermenting for a month.

During this period, air purifiers and gas masks in Shenhai City have sold out.

Its flesh is highly poisonous, and only the poisonous crystal core inside its body can be sold for a little money, so Chairman Li of the Pet Beast Guild in Deep Sea City is very troubled by this.

Each ancient lanternfish is the size of a minivan, and some high-level lanternfish are even about the size of a heavy truck.

Some gourmets know that this ancient lanternfish has a fist-sized piece of meat inside its body called the Sapphire Heart, which is extremely delicious. It grows next to the venom sac and requires a professional chef to prepare.

Their thorns contain potent poison; if you accidentally touch them, countless blisters will appear all over your body, and your body will feel like it's on fire, as if burned.

Because the task was so difficult, the cleaning companies demanded exorbitant prices, amounting to one-tenth of the city's fiscal revenue, which was unacceptable to the members of the Pet Animal Guild.

After hearing Chairman Wang's introduction at the last meeting and receiving Chairman Zhang's guarantee, Chairman Li of the Deep Sea Pet Animal Association, with the idea of ​​trying anything as a last resort, hired Sunflower Cleaning Company. He took the lead in signing the contract, and the price was very cheap, even exceeding his expectations.

It cost less than a tenth of the price quoted by the cleaning company, and it can guarantee no odor residue.

After the Sunflower King and his army of sunflowers arrived in Deepsea City to clean up the area, Chairman Li was truly impressed.

Sunflowers surged forward like a tidal wave, their long roots embedding themselves into the corpse of the strange beast.

They absorbed the essence and blood of the strange beasts while emitting a faint floral fragrance.

The foul stench gradually dissipated.

Moreover, after absorbing the flesh and blood of the alien beasts, the sunflowers mercilessly crushed and devoured the bones left behind by the beasts, achieving a 100% alien beast disposal rate.

The sunflowers were extremely satisfied with this job; the flesh and blood of the strange beasts provided them with ample energy, prompting them to branch out and reproduce.

In Deep Sea City alone, the number of second-tier sunflowers has doubled. Now, one in every five sunflowers is a offspring of the Sunflower King.

As for Sanshui City, the beast tide that appeared was a type of sea creature resembling a conch shell, each of which was three meters tall.

Once dead, it decomposes rapidly, oozing a sticky substance comparable to super glue, and this substance is corrosive.

This has caused great distress to the residents of Sanshui City.

Therefore, the situation in Sanshui City is even worse, with cleaning companies offering higher prices than in Shenhai City.

When the sunflowers arrived, they ate whatever they wanted, both meat and vegetables. Their roots would fall onto the slime and be sucked up like a beverage.

The huge snail shell was completely absorbed by the sunflowers, leaving no trace of odor.

To commemorate the contributions of the Sunflower Movement, the citizens of Sanshui City specially created a giant sunflower sculpture using seashells.

This later became a famous tourist attraction in Sanshui City.

At this time, the sunflower also became a thorn in the side of the cleaning company.

However, with the strong support of the Pet Guild, they were unable to find a single opportunity to make a move.

Longhe City is a prefecture-level city not far from Shihui City.

The bosses of several cleaning companies gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Sunflower Cleaning Company was too aggressive, and they had lost many of their orders, making it difficult for them to cope.

"Old Yang, I'm just wondering, where did this cleaning company come from that dares to steal our business?"

"We have always maintained a close working relationship with the Pet Animal Guild."

"We didn't gain anything from this beast tide outbreak. On the contrary, the people from the pet beast guild treated us badly. This is something we've never encountered since we started our cleaning company."

"I haven't been in a good mood lately."

A bald, fat man with a face full of scars and a cigar in his mouth spoke to an old man sitting upright beside him.

The man the fat man called Lao Yang was their strategist and the wealthiest boss in the cleaning company.

"Cutting off someone's source of income is infuriating."

The fat man picked up a bottle of expensive wine and gulped it down in one go.

"Exactly, exactly. I was originally prepared to ask for an exorbitant price, but a fledgling small company snatched it away."

"I hate it! If I could have completed this order, the profit would have been substantial."

“I secretly inquired about the price, and it’s only one-tenth of what we quoted. Those people are ruthless.”

A man who looked as thin as a stick said indignantly.

"I told you all a long time ago, don't be too greedy, just make a profit." "I've already inquired, and the presidents of those pet guilds originally wanted you to do it."

"After all, they've been working together for a long time, which saves them a lot of trouble."

"Your price was just too high, which scared people away."

"Out of desperation, we gave the job to a cleaning company called Sunflower to clean up the monster's carcass."

"They are cheap, don't interfere, and are efficient. If I were a member of the Pet Guild, I would choose them too."

Old Yang said slowly and deliberately.

"Old Yang, can you swallow this insult?"

"If it were me, I would definitely try to trip them up."

"Old Yang, we're all roughnecks who only know how to work. You're the smartest, so give us some advice."

“If this continues, we won’t get paid, and our men will go hungry.”

"You have to help us!"

Cleaning companies make a lot of money cleaning up the carcasses of exotic animals. The exorbitant cleaning fees paid to them by the Pet Animal Guild alone are enough to make them a fortune, not to mention the disposal of the carcasses.

Parts of the alien beast's body can be sold for money; for example, the teeth of the ancient lanternfish and the crystal on its head are also worth a lot of money.

Old Yang shook his head: "You reap what you sow. I've told you all many times that you need to maintain good relations with the authorities."

"Don't get so carried away that you forget you're a human or a ghost."

"Look, after you guys made such an outrageous demand this time, the authorities have all found someone else to do it."

"However, you're not wrong. This time, Sunflower Cleaning Company really went too far and was too arrogant."

"We must curb their arrogant attitude."

"Don't they still have one city left to clean up?"

"Then we'll tamper with it there."

"Go and prepare a batch of Tier 3 Sunstones for me."

Upon hearing that they would have to pay money, these people immediately showed expressions of heartache and pain.

Old Yang glanced at the crowd sideways and said, "What's wrong? You want revenge but don't want to pay up? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"Anyway, I'll just give you this advice: take it or leave it. And don't come asking me again, it's annoying!"

Old Yang was immediately annoyed.

Seeing that Old Yang was angry, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

It was Fatty who stepped in to smooth things over: "Old Yang, it's not that we're unwilling to pay for it, it's just that we want to hear your plan first before making a decision."

The fat man seemed to be reminding the others to be careful, as this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and angering Old Yang would not benefit anyone.

"Yes, yes, Lao Yang, we just want to hear the plan."

"Although we didn't make any money this time, we still have our savings. As long as Lao Yang's plan works, we'll keep throwing money at it."

"Old Yang, you're known as the man who's even better than Zhuge Liang, you have to save us!"

Seeing that everyone had given him a way out, Old Yang's expression improved considerably.

"My brilliant plan is called the Monk Carrying Water Plan."

“I have already investigated, and these sunflowers are led by a third-tier sunflower king.”

"With the higher-level Sunflower King suppressing the second-level Sunflowers, they can carry out their cleaning work in an orderly manner."

"But at this time, if we sprinkle the third-tier sunstone on this group of second-tier sunflowers..."

"Guess what will happen?"

Old Yang paused for a moment, then kept everyone in suspense.

The fat man immediately handed Old Yang a cup of freshly brewed tea, putting on a fawning expression.

Old Yang was quite pleased and picked up his teacup, continuing slowly, "They will definitely be thinking about evolving into the third-tier Sunflower King."

"Under the sun's rays, a second-tier Sunflower can evolve into a Sunflower King if it has enough third-tier Sunstones."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt their brains were not working properly.

"Aren't we strengthening their power?"

Old Yang snorted and put down his teacup: "Wrong. One monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water together, three monks have no water to drink."

"If there are too many third-tier sunflowers, they will naturally want to seize power, which will cause the entire sunflower population to fall into complete chaos."

"If they don't work properly, isn't that our opportunity?"

"The contract requires that the corpses of the alien beasts be cleared out within three days, or a penalty of three times the amount will be imposed."

"Do you think a newly established small company can afford to pay the penalty for breach of contract? If they fail to complete the task, won't that be our opportunity?"

Old Yang said meaningfully.

"Brilliant, truly brilliant! No wonder Old Yang is known as the strategist of Zhuge Liang."

"But why don't we just send someone to kill the Sunflower Movement leader? Once there's no leader, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Questions were raised.

"If you send someone to kill the Sunflower King, and the people from the Pet Beast Guild find out that you're involved, believe me, they'll arrest you immediately."

"The Sunflower King has a powerful backer behind it. Otherwise, how could a company that has only been established for a short time have such capabilities?"

"President Zhang of the Provincial Pet Animal Association personally vouched for this with his own reputation."

"Just think about how powerful this company's background is."

"Therefore, we cannot resort to underhanded tactics; we must employ legitimate and aboveboard strategies."

At this point, someone else raised a question: "Old Yang, if we give the third-tier Sun Stone to the Sunflower to evolve, won't someone find out and trace it back to us?"

Old Yang grinned: "Do you know what kind of beast tide this time is in Shihui City?"

"It's a mineral beast."

"A mineral beast whose entire body is covered in rock and looks like a wolf."

"They feed on all kinds of minerals, and who knows, they might even have 'third-order sunstones' in their bodies, don't you think?"

"This time, our Yang family will contribute three Tier 3 Sunstones."

“My Wang family also produced three.”

"Me too."

Since someone had taken the lead, the cleaning company owner was not to be outdone and quickly gathered twenty Tier 3 Sunstones.

"At that time, we will simply scatter the sunstones in the places where sunflowers frequently appear."

"Then we just need to wait quietly for this farce to unfold."

Old Yang said smugly.

At this time, the Sunflower King was still under the protection of the Sanshui City Pet Beast Guild, leading a group of sunflowers towards Shihui City.
