[Pre-reading tip 5: Where to store your brain]

Suzhou, the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Thick, dark clouds obscured the dawn and swirled across the sky.

Heavy rain could pour down at any moment on this first university in Suzhou, located in the suburbs.

The campus, designated as an experimental zone, is dotted with cultivation facilities of various colors.

One of the old-fashioned nurseries suddenly welcomed a female student.

After passing through the identification gate of the breeding institute, she walked quickly.

Soon we arrived at a glass room.

Through the wall made of special glass, one can see a boy inside.

The boy had fair skin, and even in a white coat, his slender figure was still noticeable.

A pair of dark eyes were intently focused on the data on the instrument screen.

Seeing this, the female student did not rush in.

She knew Jiang Fan.

Once I start working, I become very focused.

Even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't affect him.

This focused attitude also allows Jiang Fan to complete his work very quickly.

Within ten minutes, Zhou Qingqing saw Jiang Fan take a test tube out of the instrument.

The test tube contained a viscous red liquid, clearly a medicine needed to cultivate some kind of fire-type beast.

Upon seeing this.

Without further hesitation, Zhou Qingqing pushed open the door.

He shouted, "Junior, something terrible has happened!"

Something's wrong?

Jiang Fan frowned, carefully placed the newly made [Level 1 Fire Tiger Energy Potion] into the storage box, and then looked at her.

Zhou Qingqing has a beautiful face and a hot figure, but her background is also extraordinary.

It is said that he was originally a student at Shanghai University, but transferred to the Department of Education at Suzhou University due to certain circumstances.

Suzhou University, or any university specializing in beast taming, is generally divided into two departments: the Beast Taming Department and the Breeding Department.

As the name suggests.

The Beast Taming Department is a department mainly for Beast Tamers, and its content mainly involves training Beast Tamers and commanding Beast Tamers in battle.

The nurturing department consists of nurturing instructors.

Specializing in everything related to development, exploration, and beast taming.

Beast evolution forms, quality caps, new skills, and more.

The final exams for students majoring in Beast Taming are often either combat tests or outdoor battles.

Students in the Department of Nurturing, from freshmen to seniors, are required to complete a research project.

Submit a paper that can pass the review of the Great Xia Kingdom's paper database.

Therefore, Jiang Fan, Zhou Qingqing, and a second-year student formed a research group.

After discussion among the three, they finally chose a relatively easy topic.

The research topic is "Whether there is a possible second evolutionary path for the pet Moon Fox".

After selecting a topic, submit a report.

Yesterday, I received 500,000 yuan in research funding.

At this point, Zhou Qingqing said there was no good news; there was only one possibility.

Jiang Fan's expression changed, and he asked incredulously, "The team leader ran away with the money?"

"You're really smart, junior."

"That's right, that bastard Gao Zhuo ran away with the money."

"Our group doesn't have a single dollar in its account right now."

Zhou Qingqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her tone full of praise.

Smart my ass!

Is this the time to talk about this?!

Thinking of Gao Zhuo's absconding with the money and the fate of his team, Jiang Fan's face turned ashen.

The funding for research projects is calculated and approved at each level based on the specific project.

If the project is completed, the paper will be successfully entered into the paper database.

The results of the project, as well as any remaining funding and resources, belong to the project team and do not need to be handed over.

If the project isn't completed, then it'll be a problem!

First, the government and the school will send people to investigate simultaneously.

If the funds are indeed spent on the research project, there will be no penalty.

After all, the research topic of the breeding department belongs to the study of beast taming.

Research cannot be successful every time.

Almost 100% of the research is built on a massive number of failures.

However, if it is found that the research funds were not actually used for the research, then it constitutes embezzlement and bribery!

Even if Jiang Fan and Zhou Qingqing were unaware of the situation, as members of the same research group, they still bear some responsibility for inadequate supervision.

In the future, as long as their research groups are involved, it will be more difficult to apply for funding, and the amount of funding will be relatively low.

Even more serious!

It is almost impossible for a research project with only two people to secure funding!

My breeding journey...

Jiang Fan groaned inwardly.

Eighteen years ago, he was reborn into this world of beast taming.

Full of ambition, I am determined to become the most, most, most top-notch trainer.

Unexpectedly, I just finished the college entrance examination.

He was admitted to Suzhou University, which is ranked first in Suzhou City.

Less than two months into university life, someone taught me a lesson!

Of course, there are other ways.

The world of beast taming is vast and full of wonders.

There are quite a few unlucky people like Jiang Fan who were implicated.

Some of them persisted.

Ultimately, if one plays a crucial role in the research group that publishes groundbreaking results, then this stain can be erased.

Some people come from wealthy families and, unable to secure funding, have to pay out of their own pockets.

Ultimately, producing sufficiently impressive results can remove this limitation.

The problem is coming.

Jiang Fan's parents are both alive and well, and they run a beast-taming base in Tianshui Town.

They appear to be wealthy and successful, seemingly enjoying great prosperity to outsiders.

In reality, the parents' beast-taming base is already somewhat operating at a loss.

Jiang Fan's parents could provide for his basic needs, but they simply couldn't afford to support his upbringing and research!

Moreover.

Jiang Fan couldn't bring himself to ask his parents to give him their hard-earned money to fund his near-bottomless research on beast taming.

"Senior Gao shouldn't have done that."

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but speak up.

He knew Gao Zhuo, who was handsome, sunny, and optimistic.

Although he was an orphan, he had a very beautiful childhood sweetheart girlfriend.

There's no reason for them to do something as self-destructive as running away with the money!

"Junior, this is called knowing a person's face but not their heart!"

"I heard that Gao Zhuo's girlfriend died a month ago!"

"It's possible that his girlfriend's death gave him the idea to abscond with the money."

Zhou Qingqing took out a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket and said while cracking them open.

"Now we need to figure out a way to resolve this."

Jiang Fan took the melon seeds from her palm.

"So you still have the heart to eat sunflower seeds?"

"What's done is done, and whether you eat sunflower seeds or not won't change that fact," Jiang Fan said calmly.

"That's true."

"I have a good idea, which is to switch to the Beast Taming type."

Zhou Qingqing offered a solution.

Switching to the Beast Taming class means you won't have to participate in any research projects.

Whether or not we can get research funding is irrelevant.

"There's really no other way, this is the only option."

Jiang Fan nodded in agreement.

Although the Beast Taming type doesn't earn money as quickly as the Breeding type, it can still make money nonetheless.

He has made up his mind.

Switch to the Beast Taming skill set, slowly accumulate money, and then conduct research.

If you can produce outstanding members, you can transfer back to the training department or become a trainer.

There are many examples of this.

However, such a choice is bound to be extremely time-consuming.

With good luck, Jiang Fan was able to become a formal trainer in his twenties.

If you're unlucky, you could end up in your thirties or even forties.

Does the Moonlight Fox have a second form...?

Jiang Fan looked at the computer screen on the table next to him.

Above the dense text of documents were images of the Moon Fox.

Its fur is entirely white, with a crescent-shaped tuft of pale blue hair on its forehead.

She is gentle, petite, and beautiful, but has no combat skills.

The Moonlight Fox's first known evolutionary path consists of only one stage, and even after evolving, it still lacks combat capabilities.

It's truly a chosen pet for admiring beauty!

Jiang Fan's parents' beast-taming base has Moonlight Fox as one of their main beasts!

Moon Fox has always been a popular pet due to its attractive appearance.

However, the pet market has become extremely competitive in recent years.

More than a dozen ornamental pets have appeared that are just as beautiful as the Moonlight Fox, and some even possess combat power and considerable potential.

This has led to a squeeze on Moonlight Fox's market share and a continuous decline in its popularity.

This is also one of the reasons why the situation at Jiang Fan's parents' beast-taming base deteriorated rapidly.

Jiang Fan chose this research topic in the hope of discovering the second evolutionary form of the Moonlight Fox, thereby improving the predicament of his own beast-taming base.

As a result, the study was aborted before it even began.

That bastard Gao Zhuo has absconded with the money!

Just then.

A pale blue panel suddenly came into view.

Jiang Fan rubbed his eyes first, and then realized it wasn't his imagination.

My heart started pounding wildly.

Goldfinger.

coming!

"Sister Qingqing, I think there might be a way to resolve this!"

Jiang Fan's eyes shone brightly.

"What method?"

Zhou Qingqing looked at Jiang Fan.
