My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 35 Fantasy Rhizobium (13)

Wu Xiaoqing is truly a perfect beauty, and she’s also the older sister type.

She owns a cursed frog, is both a nurse and a milk lover, and is an absolutely perfect big sister - if she can control her habit of badmouthing others online.

Zhou Lu remembered that the most exaggerated thing this senior student did was that she had been arguing with someone in the forum for six months. No matter what the other party replied, she would immediately reply with "You are right, but your mother is dead."

The incident ended with the administrator banning both of them.

When Zhou Lu saw Wu Xiaoqing’s ID, he suddenly remembered that he could go to her laboratory to purchase a batch of goods before entering the secret realm.

Although the Mushroom is a bit of a stretch as food, it is an absolutely perfect prop as a substitute in battle or escape.

Although due to the natural disadvantages of mushrooms, even if the Expanded Delicious Mushroom is a second-level spiritual beast, its actual combat power can only fight back and forth with a first-level spiritual beast at most.

But when faced with a crisis, it is often just a matter of seconds.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Lu decisively turned around and headed towards Wu Xiaoqing's laboratory.

When I opened the door of the laboratory, Wu Xiaoqing was taking off her stockings there.

Her long legs look particularly white against the semi-transparent black stockings.

"..."

"Xiao Lu? Why are you here?" Wu Xiaoqing said with some surprise when she saw Zhou Lu.

Zhou Lu silently closed the door of the laboratory: "What are you doing, Sister Xiaoqing?"

Wu Xiaoqing glanced at the half-removed stockings and said without hesitation, "Collecting new strains of bacteria."

"what?"

"It's really infuriating." Wu Xiaoqing was furious when she talked about this. "I don't know who reported it. The edible mushrooms I registered with great difficulty were rejected by the association. They said that I registered them as weapons, not food."

The instigator touched his nose and immediately tried to make amends: "Didn't Teacher Xiaoxi say that this research is very valuable? He also gave you a lot of fairy coins..."

"It is valuable, it is valuable." Speaking of this, Wu Xiaoqing couldn't help but feel proud. "Yesterday, Xu Yilong from Kaituo Army came to me and said that he wanted to establish a long-term cooperation with me and continue to supply Kaituo Army with enlarged delicious mushrooms."

Xu Yilong...

Zhou Lu immediately remembered the system's task.

I don’t know whether he noticed my performance in the exam.

"Isn't this great?" Zhou Lu was genuinely happy for Wu Xiaoqing.

Apparently Zhou Lu was not the only one who discovered the value of the Mushroom.

When used in exams, it affects balance, but when used in exploring secret realms, it is definitely a life-saving artifact.

The only disadvantage is probably that as a second-level spiritual beast, its cultivation requires a certain threshold.

But since it is a mushroom, the threshold can’t be that high.

It can be said that with this research alone, Wu Xiaoqing can gain a firm foothold in the cultivation department.

"What's good about that?" Wu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes. "I'm from the food department! Damn it! Can't I make edible mushrooms?"

Speaking of this, Wu Xiaoqing puffed up her cheeks angrily, rolled up the stockings in her hand and stuffed them into the beaker beside her.

"So, what are you doing?" Zhou Lu knew that scientists always did strange things, but wasn't it a little too weird to stuff her own stockings into a beaker for extraction?
While stirring, Wu Xiaoqing said, "I've seen many people say that beautiful girls' feet have a special charm. I'll see if I can extract the corresponding bacteria for cultivation."

Zhou Lu was speechless: "Is it possible that those people are just playing a joke?"

"Eh? Are you kidding me? Then why would someone ask me for stockings?"

"That's a pervert! Block him! Call the police!"

Wu Xiaoqing glanced at Zhou Lu and said meaningfully, "So what are you doing now?"

what am i doing?
Zhou Lu looked down following Wu Xiaoqing's gaze.

Hua Huo was touching the stockings on Wu Xiaoqing's other leg very seriously, pulling them from time to time, trying to take them off.

"Fuck! What are you doing? Fireworks." Zhou Lu almost vomited blood.

Fireworks was startled by Zhou Lu's voice, and its leaves trembled a few times. It immediately retracted its vines and obediently stretched out its branches to greet Wu Xiaoqing.

"Don't do such a weird thing." Zhou Lu picked up Hua Huo helplessly.

Hua Huo was puzzled: Eh? Doesn't the master like this thing?

"..." Zhou Lu was silent for a while, "Although I don't know what you are talking about, I always feel that you are thinking about something very rude."

Fireworks drooped its leaves in a somewhat lost manner.

It thinks the owner doesn't like its legs because it's not wearing stockings, so it plans to steal them to study...

"By the way, what are you doing here today?" Wu Xiaoqing didn't take these things to heart. She was the kind of woman who was not very nervous. "I haven't congratulated you yet. You got full marks in the preliminary exam and passed the exploration certificate."

"Then I have to thank Sister Xiaoqing for giving me the fairy coins." Zhou Lu thanked.

"That thing is of no use to me anyway."

"Only Sister Xiaoqing can say that..."

Wu Xiaoqing seemed to remember something, opened a drawer beside her, and took out a paper bag from it: "By the way, this is for you as a reward for passing the exam~!"

Zhou Lu took the bag curiously, and inside it were some black lumps.

"what is this?"

"Dream Rhizobium." Wu Xiaoqing looked at the beaker in her hand carefully.

If it weren't for the stockings in the beaker that were so distracting, this would definitely be a standard scientific research scene.

"Dream Rhizobium..." Zhou Lu repeated the name.

Wu Xiaoqing put down the beaker in her hand: "Dream Rain Flower is not naturally toxic, and it may not be toxic when it evolves in the future. If a plant beast does not have the poison attribute, it cannot learn poison skills and will suffer in battle. Dream Rhizobium can make the plant beast that coexists with it acquire the poison attribute, and there will be no other side effects."

"Directly give it poisonous properties?" Zhou Lu said in surprise. He had never heard of this before.

Things like attributes are usually naturally possessed by spirit beasts or awakened through evolution. I have never heard of them being obtained in this way.

Wu Xiaoqing spread her hands and said, "Besides this, there is nothing else to use. As a first-level spirit beast, it is useless, right? I wanted to study special symbiotic bacteria that can increase the yield of root crops such as potatoes, but I ended up researching this."

Speaking of this, Wu Xiaoqing became a little depressed: "Sometimes I really doubt whether I have research talent..."

Sister Xiaoqing, why don't we change direction? I feel like you're not suitable for developing food spirit beasts...

"Will rhizobia make the roots ugly?" Zhou Lu suddenly asked after taking a look at Huo Huo in his arms.

Hanabi looked at the mushrooms and turned the leaves with concern.

To be honest, the roots of fireworks are white and clean, like works of art. It would be a pity if they became ugly after being parasitized by rhizobia.

"I get angry just talking about this!" Wu Xiaoqing said angrily, "It's clearly rhizobia, but it doesn't have any additional benefits on the roots! It doesn't even grow lumps."

Hanabi turned back with confidence and continued looking at the mushrooms.

"Didn't you announce the result?" Zhou Lu asked in a low voice.

Wu Xiaoqing asked curiously, "Why would such a rubbish result be worth announcing?"

Is this a rubbish result?

It can give ordinary plants and spirit beasts the root nodule bacteria with poisonous properties!

You know, many plant spirit beasts actually have great potential in combat, but because they don't have the poison attribute, they are unable to learn the skills required by the dual attributes of grass and poison and are eliminated by other poison-attribute plant spirit beasts.

The dreamy rhizobia can definitely change their fate.

"What about that mushroom last time?" Zhou Lu remembered the mushroom that almost killed Wu Xiaoqing. The toxicity was so fast that it was an explosive existence in the world of poisons.

"It's also rubbish." Wu Xiaoqing glanced at the mushroom field behind her, "Come to think of it... why do I feel like my mushrooms are getting fewer and fewer?"

The fireflies lying next to the mushroom field seemed to be basking in the fill light, and from time to time they rubbed their vines like a fly rubbing its hands.
