Chapter 6: The Creative Use of Talent Skills

The pet service station opens at 8:00 AM.

7:30.

It's the coolest time of day.

Yanglin Village is full of trees with lush foliage, and the morning breeze is gentle.

Qiao Bai walked out of the dormitory, carrying freshly cooked chive dumplings and pure milk, and strolled leisurely toward the pet service station.

When we were almost at the door.

He stopped in his tracks.

Wait...wait?

What is that strange, unidentified creature at the door?

Qiao Bai's mind flashed back to what the villagers had said, something like there were wolves in the forest.

Could he really have run into him?

[The Eye of Insight]

on!

Talent skills can take effect as long as they are within sight.

Then... the log page panel put Qiao Bai at ease.

Thank goodness!

It is neither a wild wolf nor a supernatural being.

Qiao Bai remained cautious and walked carefully toward the service station.

If they're not supernatural beings, then they must be people from the vicinity of the village.

Those who really need help know when the service station opens.

Seeing them blocking the door so early in the morning, Qiao Bai could only assume they were there to cause trouble.

With his small frame, he couldn't withstand a single blow from his opponent in a fight.

A journey of a few hundred meters, taking five minutes.

Qiao Bai walked for almost ten minutes.

The moment he saw it clearly, he fell silent.

There was indeed a person sitting at the entrance of the service station.

However, he didn't imagine the thugs and tattooed gangsters to be like them.

Sitting on the steps was a mature woman wearing a white lab coat, with her hair in a slightly messy bun and frameless glasses on her nose. Her features were striking and beautiful.

Well... she was leaning against the door of the service station, dozing off.

Qiao Bai remained silent for a long while.

With only fifteen minutes left before his shift started, he still had to eat breakfast and clean.

What kind of pity and tenderness is this?

None of them are as important as his job!

"Excuse me, ma'am? Hello? Could you please move aside?"

As soon as Qiao Bai spoke, the woman sitting on the steps suddenly opened her eyes.

"Little Yang...?"

Her gaze towards Qiao Bai still held a hint of confusion.

Qiao Bai understood: "It's not time for work yet, Brother Yang will probably be here a while. I'll open the door, you can come in and wait."

The other person nodded, stood up from the steps, and instantly went from being looked down upon by Qiao Bai to being level with him.

Qiao Bai, who is 1.77 meters tall and 17 years old: "..."

Looking at those perfectly proportioned long legs, Qiao Bai comforted himself.

He didn't get enough nutrition. Now he drinks a glass of milk every day and can still grow a bit more before he turns eighteen. He'll be at least 1.8 meters tall in the future!

The door opened.

Zhou Xinran, who had taken a taxi overnight to get here, also regained consciousness.

She recognized him at a glance; Qiao Bai was the boy in the blue uniform who had received Honey Worm in the video she had seen last night.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Xinran, a professor at Qingniao University in Jinyang City, and Xiao Yang's graduate advisor." Zhou Xinran took the initiative to greet Qiao Bai.

"Xiao Yang sent me the monitoring video of the honeybee evolution yesterday. Can I ask you some questions about it?"

Qiao Bai was somewhat surprised.

Qingniao University is equivalent to a 985 or 211 university.

One of Jinyang City's most prestigious institutions is its pet breeding and pet care programs, which are renowned for attracting as many volunteers each year as those at two top universities.

"Of course, anything I know is fine."

Qiao Bai had no reason to refuse.

I just don't have time to eat breakfast right now.

Zhou Xinran pulled up a chair at the front desk and sat down. Her eyes, behind her glasses, stared intently at Qiao Bai, their intensity so intense it seemed to ignite him.

"I've watched the surveillance video at least ten times, and I have some guesses about the evolution of honeybees."

Because the video was sent to her by Yang Sanmu, she never suspected that her student had fabricated it.

no need.

If the video is authentic, every detail is crucial.

"Many beast tamers and even ordinary people believe that the honey bug is not worthy of being called a pet," Zhou Xinran said.

"It's not just because honeybugs are of low quality, but also because they are too timid and will commit suicide at the slightest disturbance."

"Not to mention that if the honey sac is removed, the honey worm will instantly go into a frenzy and commit suicide."

"But the honeybee that girl brought yesterday clearly didn't have that kind of personality. You had close contact with it; can you describe its personality?"

Upon hearing this...

For a moment, Qiao Bai seemed to see the reflection on Zhou Xinran's glasses.

But he didn't hide anything and nodded: "Yes, that honeybug's personality is a bit different from that of ordinary honeybugs."

"That honeybug used a desperate attack and survived, managing to hold on until it got here."

Qiao Bai revealed the reason why Lin Weiwei brought the honey bugs to the service station.

There was no sound in the surveillance video, but Zhou Xinran heard something extra, and her eyes lit up even more.

"A desperate attack?"

This honeybee is no ordinary insect!

Zhou Xinran was even more certain of this, and she asked again, "Evolution happened after the honey bug's honey sac was removed, right?"

Qiao Bai nodded.

"I understand." Zhou Xinran smiled knowingly.

"Boldness, the ability to avoid suicide, and the removal of the honey sac are key to the evolution of honeybees!"

Her tone was exceptionally certain.

Qiao Bai's eyes widened suddenly. Could his guess be that accurate?

Not one out!

The key to the evolution of honeybees lies in their ability to survive without committing suicide after having their honey sacs removed.

But the fact that they won't commit suicide... has stumped countless people!

Zhou Xinran noticed Qiao Bai's expression and assumed that he didn't trust her: "Do you think my guess is unreliable?"

"No." Qiao Bai shook his head: "Make bold guesses and verify carefully. The most special thing about this honey bug is its personality. Professor Zhou's idea is perfectly reasonable."

Zhou Xinran laughed.

"I'm still thinking about how to tell you. My research includes topics related to the evolution of pets, and my guess should be quite credible."

"Thank you for your trust and cooperation."

After asking all the questions she wanted to ask, Zhou Xinran stood up.

"Could you share that girl's contact information with me?"

Qiao Bai didn't immediately agree: "Uh...can I ask her?"

He had assumed the visitor would be a staff member of the league, but it turned out to be a university professor, so he figured it was better to ask.

Zhou Xinran didn't mind Qiao Bai's meddling and even gave him an admiring look: "You're good, you know how to respect a girl's choice."

"Okay, let's exchange contact numbers. Once she agrees, just send me her number. I'll be going now!"

After exchanging contact information.

Zhou Xinran left just as abruptly as she arrived, and like a gust of wind that could leave at any moment.

Qiao Bai: This is truly an extraordinary woman!

Yang arrived at the service station just in time. He brushed past Zhou Xinran. Mu: Where's my mentor?! Where's my mentor?!
