My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 151 You are too outrageous!
When Zhou Lu heard Wu Xiaoqing's words, his first reaction was disbelief.

"No? Aren't you working on your graduation project recently?" Zhou Lu asked in confusion, "How do you still have time to come up with new strains of bacteria?"

"It's just a by-product of my graduation project." Wu Xiaoqing said with a pout.

"So, have you finished your graduation project?"

"Well... should it be done, right?" Wu Xiaoqing glanced at her computer and said uncertainly.

Zhou Lu was immediately confused: "Should?"

"After giving up a little bit of my persistence, I managed to achieve my goal."

Wu Xiaoqing's graduation thesis topic is to develop a mushroom that can be used to cross extremely harsh areas such as the wilderness, which can be obtained repeatedly and has a high energy density.

They can be carried around in spore form, and can be used as an emergency response when the exploration team's supplies are completely exhausted.

Wu Xiaoqing was once very close to this goal.

The finished product developed has only one drawback.

Well, although the disadvantage of being poisonous is the most fatal.

"So, the toxicity issue has been overcome?"

"The physiological toxicity has been overcome," Wu Xiaoqing said. "It is non-toxic, can be obtained repeatedly, grows quickly, and has a high energy density."

Sister Xiaoqing is always very serious when she speaks.

Zhou Lu immediately grasped the key point in this sentence: "Physiological toxicity? Damn, this mushroom can't be foul-mouthed and swear at people, right?"

"Ahem, that won't happen. That won't happen." Wu Xiaoqing didn't expect that the reputation of her last game had reached Zhou Lu's ears. "I have fixed this problem."

"It... just tastes bad."

Simply unpalatable...

For this kind of last-ditch life-saving rations, the fact that it tastes bad should be a disadvantage that can be overcome.

When Wu Xiaoqing mentioned this, her face fell: "My samples were sent to Kaituojun for testing before, and the feedback was very good."

"Your expression doesn't look like one that indicates good feedback..." Ye Qingyu couldn't help but complain when she heard this.

"It's very good." Wu Xiaoqing spread her hands. "They decided to include this product in the supply catalog. It's just that the ranking is a little bit lower, basically equivalent to the supply that will be used in the last stage."

"Back? How far back can it be?" Zhou Lu asked casually.

“Behind the shit.”

Zhou Lu was silent for a while, then he slowly uttered a word: "...Ah?"

"Although it's a bit disgusting." Wu Xiaoqing scratched her cheek, "but this is indeed the truth."

"My goodness, how disgusting must this be."

"Would you like a taste?"

"Then forget it." Zhou Lu refused decisively.

After listening to Wu Xiaoqing's words, Ye Qingyu congratulated her and said, "In this case, you should be able to graduate successfully, right? What are your plans for the future?"

Wu Xiaoqing looked out the window, her thoughts seemed to be a little erratic, and after a long time she slowly spoke: "I plan to stay in school and take over the teacher's class."

As she spoke, she looked around and said, "I still can't bear to leave this laboratory."

The teacher Wu Xiaoqing mentioned is Zhou Lu's father Zhou Minghai.

As if sensing that the topic was about to become serious, Ye Qingyu clapped her hands and quickly changed the subject, "Hehe! I've already taken out all of Xiao Yuan's best stuff, so you should also take out some real stuff, right? Let me see what kind of fungus you're going to give me?"

Ye Qingyu was also really interested.

Wu Xiaoqing's fungi always open her eyes.

"I don't know either." Wu Xiaoqing said confidently.

"what?"

"I haven't figured out their specific abilities yet." Wu Xiaoqing took out a jade pendant. The surface of the jade pendant was covered with red mold.

"They are miscellaneous fungi that appeared during my research. I originally thought they were just ordinary molds, but later I found out that they were somewhat special." Wu Xiaoqing briefly described the process of discovery and then handed the jade pendant to Zhou Lu.

"These molds can only grow on the surface of jade. Then they can infect humans through contact with the wearer."

Zhou Lu, who was looking at the jade pendant, almost threw away what he was holding when he heard this.

Words like infection don’t sound like good words.

In fact it is.

"I'm not quite sure what the sequelae of being infected by this fungus will be." Wu Xiaoqing said with her hands spread out.

Ye Qingyu was very serious: "Then it must have some special ability, right? Otherwise you wouldn't have given it to Xiao Lu."

Wu Xiaoqing smiled at Zhou Lu and said, "Don't worry, this infection will heal when you are attacked fatally."

Oh.

It can be cured.

That's okay...

It's okay!

What the hell is a fatal attack?

Is there still a need to recover by then?
"When you are attacked fatally," Wu Xiaoqing said seriously, "the mold will react immediately, then grow wildly and devour the jade it is attached to."

"You will turn into a monster covered in red fungus, but the fatal attacks you receive will also be eliminated in the process."

Although the price paid is high.

But if it can really help you survive a fatal attack, it would be a good thing.

In this way, the spirit pet has its own Beast Tamer skill [Recycling] to save its life, and I have these molds to save my life, which increases my sense of security a lot.

"If I turn into a red-haired monster... can I change back?" Zhou Lu asked in a low voice.

Wu Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've tried it, and the Curse Frog can cure this state. It can cure both fungal infection and the state caused by fungal stimulation."

After hearing what Sister Xiaoqing said, Zhou Lu felt a little relieved.

Hold this jade pendant in your hand.

and many more?

What do you mean you tried it?

ah! wrong!

Under what circumstances did you trigger the effect of this mold?
Zhou Lu came to his senses and glanced at Wu Xiaoqing with a twitch of his lips: "Sister Xiaoqing...how outrageous is your usual research method?"

Wu Xiaoqing coughed twice as if she had been seen through, and said with a guilty conscience: "It's not that outrageous, is it? I'm just following the laboratory regulations."

Are you talking about the laboratory regulations that you used to pad your instant noodles?

"This mold needs to be nurtured for a few days before it can fully infect you." Wu Xiaoqing said. "Because I haven't studied the specific side effects of infection yet, you should nurture it at the right time."

"Sister Xiaoqing, how do you plan to study this side effect?"

Zhou Lu asked with concern.

"Also, if I suffer a fatal attack and trigger the effect of this mold, will it no longer be effective in the future?"

The reason why he was suddenly so concerned was that if this mold could be reused, it would still be very fragrant.

Wu Xiaoqing smiled, rolled up her sleeves and revealed the jade bracelet on her wrist that was covered with mold: "Aren't I planning to start the second test?"

"How about you give me a fatal attack?"

"Ah this..."
