Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 88: The spirited young man Qiao Bai! The Great Demon King returns!

Qiao Bai didn't want to expose the existence of his innate skill, which was a cheat code, so slowing down the progress was necessary.

Go to sleep first.

The rest... we'll talk about it when he gets back to New York.

My own lab and project team need to get ready.

Thinking about the long progress bar of [Influence] and Xiao Wu's [Bloodline Awakening], Qiao Bai was no longer in a hurry, because there was no use in being anxious!

This is not something he can rush to resolve.

Qiao Bai: Keep a calm mindset, tomorrow will be better.

Out of curiosity about the special circumstances of the cat-like insects, Qiao Bai wandered around the forbidden areas of Wanyuan City and the outskirts of the forbidden areas of NY City.

Not surprisingly.

I didn't encounter anything.

The cat-like insects don't have any special sensory abilities.

Qiao Bai gave up.

He would be better off using this time to train Cat Bug and Little Crow properly.

Xiao Wu: (≧≦)

Catbug: QvO

As Xiao Wu was overjoyed, Maomaochong felt an overwhelming urge to cry.

A battle... or rather, a battle against the boss...

Catbug: Can the dragon refuse?

No.

Not only is it forbidden, but you also get beaten up every day, beaten up badly.

Cat Bug: Cat Head with Tears.jpg

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't meow, Catworm would have tried to win Qiao Bai back by meowing.

Fortunately, Qiao Bai wasn't some kind of devil.

After Catbug finished another day of being beaten (crossed out) during training, Qiao Bai held Catbug in his arms, while Little Crow flapped its wings and followed behind Qiao Bai, staring at Catbug in Qiao Bai's arms with its sharp golden-red eyes.

The cat-like insect huddled even deeper into Qiao Bai's arms.

"Alright, alright, the training these past few days has been a bit tiring. How about we take a few days off before continuing?" Qiao Bai gently stroked the cat-like insect's back again and again.

"I'll take you to the rookie training ground then, so you can relive the training methods Xiao Wu used back then."

Upon hearing this, the cat-like insect raised its head, its messy eyes sparkling with an undisguised curiosity.

The boss?

train?

Get stronger?

Can a dragon become as strong as the boss lady?

Yay! Yay!

The dragon is ready again!

In Catbug's eyes, the boss, Little Ugly, is the strongest!

Qiao Bai chuckled and pointed to the dragon horns on the cat-like insect's head: "Maybe?"

It's unlikely.

After all... Little Wu back then had his help to become stronger!

However, he can also give the cat bug a cheat code, it's just a little more difficult.

While pondering which skills would be best for the cat-like insect to learn, Qiao Bai continued to stroke its back intermittently.

Although Catbug always calls itself "Dragon" or "Little Beautiful Dragon," apart from the pair of dragon horns on its head, Catbug is somewhat similar to a kitten in terms of personality and some habits.

For example, when Qiao Bai stroked her back with just the right amount of force, she felt so comfortable that she almost made a "purring" sound from her throat.

Cat Bug: (p≧w≦q)

Seeing the cat-like insect looking so comfortable, Little Crow finally couldn't resist.

Little Wu: [○｀Д○]

It's not flying anymore!

The bird doesn't want to fly on its own anymore!

Birds get tired too!

Even birds need a hug from their beast tamer!

Qiao Bai: "Okay, okay."

Holding the cat-like insect in one arm and the landing little bird in the other, he suddenly felt a weight in his arms.

Qiao Bai: If this continues, he'll develop invincible iron arms; the strength in his two arms will be incredible.

Sweet troubles have increased again.

……

Wanyuan City Beast Taming Alliance

Huang Zhou strode confidently and arrogantly into the Beast Taming Alliance in the city center.

"I didn't make an appointment. I'm here to see your president." Huang Zhou interrupted the receptionist, his face full of anger. "That old bastard Huang Yang actually dared to hang up on me! Does he really think I wouldn't dare to come see him?!"

"Old Deng dares to shamelessly steal my beast tamer's work; he should be prepared to come knocking on his door!"

"Tell him that if he doesn't come today, I'm not leaving!"

After saying that, Huang Zhou crossed his arms and sat down casually in the center of the Beast Taming Alliance Hall in Wanyuan City.

This ensures that everyone coming in and out can see him at first glance.

At first, the receptionist didn't recognize Huang Zhou's identity, but seeing many people looking at Huang Zhou's face with surprise and then whispering among themselves with their companions, she immediately realized that Huang Zhou's identity was different.

Upon investigation—

Good guy!

The president of the NY City Beast Taming Alliance!

The receptionist didn't dare delay and immediately contacted her association president.

Then... after making eight calls, the receptionist couldn't get through, and she was almost in tears.

Guild leader, what have you done that made the guild leader of the Beast Taming Alliance from the next province come knocking on your door, and you're still playing hide-and-seek here!

Don't drag these little devils into a battle between gods!

How are they supposed to handle this?

The receptionist, on the verge of tears, continued to call their president.

With Huang Zhou still watching them menacingly from the doorway, the receptionist dared not refuse to call.

As more and more people came and went, their companions spread the word and discussed it, and they could no longer hide the amused expressions on their faces.

Everyone has curiosity.

The distance between New York City and them is not too far, but without direct flights, it takes almost four or five hours by high-speed rail!

The fact that the president of the NY City Beast Taming Alliance personally came to their door, even sitting at the entrance without any regard for their reputation, made them extremely curious about what the president of the Wanyuan City Beast Taming Alliance had done!

Private matters?

What are the issues between alliances?

The onlookers practically dug up every detail of the two presidents' past interactions, hoping to find some gossip they didn't know that could have caused such a rift between them.

Shameless.

Not one dared to show their face.

Just then.

A golden figure, under the savior-like gaze of the receptionist, walked toward Huang Zhou, who was sitting in the center of the hall.

Saying that the figure was glittering with gold is not entirely a rhetorical device.

That head of golden hair that shimmered with golden light... was indeed very dazzling.

She's practically glowing with a halo and wings; to the receptionist, she'd look like an angel descended from heaven!

"President Huangzhou, let me take you to our president." Zhan Mo walked up to Huangzhou with a smile and greeted him.

"What's the meaning of that old man Deng not coming himself but sending a young upstart like you?" Huang Zhou glanced at Zhan Mo and snorted heavily, "Does he think I'm being lenient with you just because you're young?"

"How could I possibly be so shameless!"

"I'm not leaving unless that old man Deng comes in person!"

"You dare bully me but don't dare face me personally, huh!"

"President Huangzhou, don't worry. Even if our president does have such thoughts, I will not agree." Zhan Mo's expression was sincere and his eyes were earnest. "When we asked Professor Xiaobai for help, we had already reached an agreement. I also have a copy of the notarized document. I will definitely not let Professor Xiaobai suffer any losses."

kindness?

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhou finally turned around and carefully examined Zhan Mo standing in front of him, a look of realization dawning on his eyes: "Oh! That old Deng just wanted to help you get something for nothing, right!"

James: "..."

Yes.

The president of the Huangzhou Association didn't listen to a word he said.

While feeling helpless, Zhan Mo also found it somewhat amusing and gratifying.

With such a protective president, Qiao Bai, this genius, should be able to grow up well and shine brightly.

"Anyway, if old Deng doesn't come today, I'm sitting here and not moving!"

Huang Zhou raised his chin and said with a self-righteous expression.

"OK."

To Huang Zhou's surprise, Zhan Mo actually stopped trying to persuade him and said in a very understanding tone, "I also think it's understandable that you're angry. This is a matter between the two of you. I've said what I needed to say, so I won't get involved anymore."

After saying that, Zhan Mo turned around and prepared to leave with a very nonchalant attitude.

Huang Zhou, who was trying to use the opportunity to show off but was suddenly exposed, was speechless.

Seeing that Zhan Mo really didn't intend to stay and try to persuade him again, Huang Zhou couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He quickly grabbed James, who was trying to run away, cleared his throat, and threw away that unnecessary sense of shame.

I believe that as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Huang Zhou looked at Zhan Mo with a smile.

"Oh dear!"

Why are you running so fast!

"I was just saying! If you persuade me a little more, I'll agree!"

Grabbing Zhan Mo's clothes, Huang Zhou patted his shoulder and spoke in the tone of a senior instructing a junior.

This time, the silent one changed from Huangzhou to Zhan Mo.

Zhan Mo really didn't expect that a dignified president could be even more shameless than himself.

The way Zhan Mo looked at Huang Zhou changed.

Huang Zhou smiled broadly.

Pretend you didn't understand.

Hehe~

He's pretending to be stupid, how could this kid possibly see through him?

"Come on, come on! Didn't you say you were going to take me to see that old Deng? Let's go now!" Huang Zhou put his arm around Zhan Mo's shoulder in a friendly manner, eliminating any possibility of Zhan Mo escaping the scene: "If we don't go now, I'm afraid that old Deng will run away!"

"Hmph!" Huang Zhou snorted heavily and started complaining while pulling Zhan Mo along.

"Can you imagine how shameless this person is?"

"If Professor Ge hadn't contacted me, I wouldn't have known that old Deng wanted to keep all the results for himself! Doesn't that guy have absolutely no shame?!"

Zhan Mo held firm... but couldn't hold firm any longer. He rolled his eyes at Huang Zhou: "President Huang Zhou, I know all about what you're saying. After discovering your thoughts, it was I who contacted Lao Yan."

"Hahaha!" Huang Zhou laughed, patting Zhan Mo's shoulder repeatedly. "Good, good, good, I knew you were a good lad!"

you do not say!

Huang Zhou knew that Qiao Bai wanted to find two labs to learn something and help out at the same time.

However, Huang Zhou did not expect Qiao Bai to be so fast.

It seems that Professor Ge Zongyan hasn't produced any concrete results yet, but it's said that he already knows the key to the new evolutionary path of the Noisy Flower.

The person who came later, Zhan Mo, was introduced to Qiao Bai by Professor Ge Zongyan.

His character is guaranteed.

They were also very lucky.

Qiao Bai had barely stepped into the lab when the results came out.

What's even more surprising is that the new evolved form of the rabbit dog, the Eh-ken, has actually awakened a special skill!

Yes.

After inviting a breeder to inspect the rabbit and confirming the awakened talent skill of the evolved rabbit-dog, James was immediately shocked.

After finishing organizing the documents, he immediately notified Huang Yang, the president of the Beast Taming Alliance in Wanyuan City, of the news.

At that moment, Chairman Huang Yang's face showed an expression like that of someone who hadn't eaten for ten or fifteen days and was suddenly faced with a feast—excitement, elation, and ecstasy!

They danced with joy!

And they immediately wanted to attribute all the credit to James.

If Zhan Mo hadn't reacted quickly, and things had already escalated, he wouldn't know how he would have faced Qiao Bai.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

Furthermore, the president of the Beast Taming Alliance in NY City, where Qiao Bai is registered, is not a spineless coward.

This is not.

They came knocking on our door the very day they received the message!

An old man and a young man walked out of the Beast Taming Alliance in this strange way, with their arms around each other's shoulders.

The eyes of those around them kept falling on them.

There's a melon.

Unable to eat it.

I'm itching to try it.

I really want to know what happened.

Then that evening, Qiao Bai received a call from Huangzhou and finally learned what had happened.

"Hmph! Old Deng tried to take advantage of me, so I just went straight for him and let him take advantage! Is this the kind of advantage you can just let him take advantage of so easily?!" Huang Zhou was beaming with pride. Even through the phone, Qiao Bai could hear that his voice was so excited that it seemed like he could fly to the sky at any moment.

Qiao Bai: "So what exactly happened?"

Qiao Bai was still a little curious.

The main reason is... Huang Zhou wasn't this excited when he discovered the evolutionary path of the Honeybug before; he wasn't this excited when he found the new evolutionary path of the Little Fire Fox either.

Xiao Wu and the Noisy Flower... Qiao Bai is not ready to reveal these two new evolutionary paths for the time being.

Then came the new evolutionary path for the rabbit-dog, but Huang Zhou seemed to get a little too excited.

Why?

What are the differences between the evolved Hound and other pets?

Qiao Bai seemed to have thought of something.

At this moment, Huang Zhou on the other end of the phone lowered his voice at the right time: "Because you have an indelible contribution to this, it's okay for me to tell you. Otherwise, most of the scholars and professors who study the evolution of pet beasts wouldn't know about this."

Just listen to it, don't ask any more questions.

Qiao Bai: "Okay."

Qiao Bai felt as if he had touched upon some secret.

"Unlike humans who can acquire innate skills after awakening their potential as beast tamers, the vast majority of extraordinary creatures do not have innate skills. Only a very small number of species can acquire innate skills after evolution."

"And every extraordinary creature that can acquire innate skills after evolution is an extraordinary creature with special potential—they have extraordinary bloodlines that can be traced back to their origins and become mythical creatures."

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai: "!"

"This..." Qiao Bai was shocked and wanted to say something, but Huang Zhou interrupted him.

"I've told you everything I can. You should learn more when you reach a certain level. Knowing too much at once won't help your growth," Huang Zhou said earnestly to Qiao Bai on the other end of the phone.

"If it weren't for the fact that this discovery and the results, and the final reward, inevitably involve you, I wouldn't be telling you all this now, understand?"

Qiao Bai nodded.

I understand.

I understand it better than I ever could.

Extraordinary creatures that can awaken innate skills after evolution have the potential to reach an even higher level... If this news gets out, it will cause chaos!

Although they are divided into three different levels—low, medium, and high—based on their potential, average strength, reproduction, and so on, with more detailed subdivisions, they are still classified.

But this is ultimately a division done in a human way.

It's not that there aren't powerful beast tamers who lead low-level extraordinary creatures to rise to become powerful figures, maximizing the potential of those creatures.

This also gave most beast tamers confidence.

But if there is one extraordinary creature and another extraordinary creature, there is a natural distinction in their class... and the mindset is different.

This is a method to maintain social stability, but also a last resort.

"What will happen to the rabbit-dog breed of extraordinary creatures next?" Qiao Bai couldn't help but ask.

What will the nations and alliances do after learning that the evolved Hound possesses special abilities?

To incorporate them all?

Evolution of a contract among our own?

Huang Zhou immediately understood what Qiao Bai really meant, and he laughed and said, "No, no, no, we Chinese are not that short-sighted."

"All we need to do is reduce the export of rabbit dogs to the market as much as possible without attracting the attention of other countries, and quietly increase the import of rabbit dogs."

There are legal import and export transactions of extraordinary biological products in both domestic and international trade.

"Don't reveal the new evolutionary path of the rabbit-dog. We will keep the new evolutionary method of the rabbit-dog closed to the public and use it to strengthen the strength of our country's beast tamers."

"After all, not every pet can fully awaken a special bloodline."

Quality still comes from quantity!

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai saw no problem at all: "But rabbit dogs are already a rare and precious species of extraordinary creatures, right? Shouldn't we consider establishing a corresponding breeding base to try and increase the number of rabbit dogs?"

"Of course, the reason I traveled all this way to argue with this old man is because he's a dishonest person! He wants to take all the benefits for himself!"

A loud slamming sound came from across the table: "The number of extraordinary creatures with innate skills that have been discovered in China so far is no more than two hands' worth. Every newly discovered extraordinary creature with innate skills after evolution is a treasure."

"Generally speaking, the corresponding breeding base is established directly at the location of the professor of pet evolution who discovered the sub-type of extraordinary creature."

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows how valuable such a breeding base is once built.

Only a portion of those who apply to be sent out will be able to form contracts with ordinary beast tamers.

Another portion will be sold at a higher price on the market.

Official channels.

Legitimate transaction.

These are all sources of revenue for the city.

That's why Huang Zhou was so angry after learning what the leader of the Beast Taming Alliance in Wanyuan City wanted to do.

OK!

Old Deng actually wanted to sneakily raid the base from behind all by himself?

They really don't take him seriously!

Huangzhou didn't give him any face either, and confronted him directly!

We will not back down an inch for the sake of profit!

The city's interests cannot be abandoned, nor can the interests given to Qiao Bai!

What belongs to them belongs to them!

"Hehe, it's good that you signed a contract with that kid surnamed Zhan and even reported it to the Beast Taming Alliance." Huang Zhou chuckled on the other end of the phone, his voice filled with barely concealed schadenfreude and joy.

"That thing is archived; it's solid evidence. With this, Old Deng can't argue with me." As he spoke, Huang Zhou chuckled again, "That Zhan Mo is indeed a good person; he's very open and generous."

Qiao Bai smiled slightly upon hearing this.

James... may seem a bit unreliable, but his character is absolutely impeccable.

This can be seen from the twenty-four high-grade materials he received a few days ago.

If Zhan Mo had sent him twenty kinds of Qiao Bai, he wouldn't have said anything.

After all, the initial bet only included twenty items, and the rest was obtained through James's efforts.

But James's main principle is "I'll take what's rightfully mine, and I won't take what's not mine."

"The breeding base has been finalized. It will be located in New York City, and construction will begin this year. At the same time, the higher-ups are also rapidly researching methods to ensure the successful breeding of rabbits and dogs."

"And then comes your reward." Huang Zhou paused, as if a hint of trepidation crossed his voice.

Qiao Bai smiled and asked, "Uncle Huang, what's the reward?"

Qiao Bai wasn't unaware of Huang Zhou's guilty conscience.

However... Qiao Bai felt that the reward shouldn't be too bad.

I don't know why.

Huang Zhou always looked like he owed him a lot, which made Qiao Bai both amused and exasperated.

"Hehe... Well... I managed to secure the breeding base, so your reward might have to be reduced a little." Huang Zhou chuckled, his guilty conscience and caution evident even over the phone.

"The rewards given by the Alliance and the nation to professors of pet evolution who have researched new evolutionary forms of awakened innate skills of extraordinary creatures are very generous. Not only will the resources they can apply for and use every day double, but their existing class rank will also be raised by one level."

what……

Qiao Bai showed a look of sudden realization.

He knew about this; Zhou Xinran had reminded him before, and he had specifically looked into it.

Like Beast Tamers, the professions of Professor of Pet Evolution Research and Breeder also have their own levels.

For example, professors who study the evolution of pets are all called "professors" on the surface, but within the system, there are clearer distinctions between professors.

Level 5 Researcher, Level 4 Researcher, Level 3 Researcher, Level 2 Researcher, and Level 1 Researcher.

The lowest rank is Level 5 Researcher, and so on. Level 1 Researcher is the highest pursuit that most ordinary people who do not qualify as Beast Tamers dream of in their lifetime.

However, if you reach the level of Professor Wu Qingshan, that would be a national-level professor above the first-level researcher.

Below the Level 5 Researcher is the Intern Researcher level.

Within the industry, only researchers at the lowest level (Level 5) are generally called professors. This indicates that they have achieved certain practical results and discoveries, which is why they are promoted to Level 5 researchers and officially enter the threshold of becoming professors in pet evolution research.

Zhou Xinran is the youngest Level 4 researcher in the entire Jinyang City.

It is said that she is close to being promoted to a Level 3 Researcher.

Sun Guoping and Gu Hongyu are both Level 5 researchers, but they are just a little bit away from becoming Level 4 researchers. If the new evolution path of Little Fire Fox had a greater impact than expected, at least one of them could have become a Level 4 researcher.

The treatment will also be completely different.

Most professors researching pet evolution under the age of forty are around level five or four researchers. To become a higher-ranking researcher, age is not the key factor; the most important thing is to have enough impressive achievements.

"If we hadn't secured the rabbit-dog breeding base, according to the higher-ups, they could have directly promoted you to a level four researcher," Huang Zhou whispered.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai instinctively exclaimed "Wow!"

It's not that he lacks knowledge.

It's simply because... they're so generous!

The leaders above are incredibly generous!

Zhou Xinran is already considered a young Level 4 researcher. To reach the Level 4 researcher level, Zhou Xinran herself has discovered and improved the evolutionary routes of no less than ten extraordinary creatures, and has written countless papers.

He's been given the title of Level 4 Researcher just because he discovered a new evolutionary path for rabbits and dogs. That's really generous of him.

If you follow the normal process... it requires recommendations, assessments, and accumulating results.

Generally speaking, they'll start by giving you the status of an intern researcher.

Qiao Bai asked, "And now?"

"Level five," Huang Zhou said sheepishly. "I really didn't expect this..."

Huang Zhou was about to explain something when Qiao Bai interrupted him: "Uncle Huang, you don't need to explain to me. I really don't care that much. Being a Level 5 researcher is good enough."

"Hey, don't try to comfort me. I got a little too excited and neglected your arrangements."

Qiao Bai smiled. Regardless of whether Huang Zhou was telling the truth or not, Huang Zhou had indeed protected and helped him a lot: "If the higher-ups really promoted me to a fourth-level researcher out of turn, many people might feel that it was unfair and that I was being treated too favorably."

"After all, as you said, not everyone knows that extraordinary beings can awaken innate skills. Even a large number of professors researching pet evolution probably don't know this."

Huang Zhou remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement with Qiao Bai's statement.

"So, they were definitely going to be resentful when they found out I became a Level 4 Researcher, but things are different now." Qiao Bai said with a smile, speaking calmly and even more so than Huang Zhou: "With my current achievements—three new evolutionary paths for extraordinary creatures, the proposal of new concepts—a Level 5 Researcher, isn't that what I should be doing?"

Huangzhou was speechless.

what……

Don't say it.

That's really the case.

Think about the discoveries made by Qiao Bai.

Even though Qiao Bai himself did not produce any papers, he did not have any close relationships with others in the circle.

But look at Qiao Bai's achievements, which are clearly visible.

Does anyone have any objections to letting Qiao Bai become a Level 5 Researcher without taking an exam?

No!

Anyone who dares to speak up should prepare to get a beating!

Every achievement Qiao Bai has made is a genuine discovery of a new evolutionary path for extraordinary creatures.

Can an average person do this?

impossible!

They could only keep quiet about the achievements Qiao Bai had made!

"Besides," Qiao Bai's tone shifted, changing from its previous calmness to a youthful sharpness and amusement, "Uncle Huang, don't you believe in my abilities?"

"Whether it's becoming a Level 4 Researcher, a Level 3 Researcher, or even higher... considering my age, do you think it would be a very difficult thing for me?"

"It's more accurate to say that what I lack most right now is the accumulation of time."

Huangzhou... Huangzhou was truly speechless now.

When Qiao Bai didn't say it, Huang Zhou subconsciously forgot that Qiao Bai had gone from accidentally discovering the evolutionary path of the Honeybug to actively researching the new evolutionary path of the Little Fire Fox, helping Professor Ge Zongyan find the key to the new evolutionary path of the Noisy Flower, and then helping to research the evolution of the Evil Dog with innate skills. All of this had taken less than a year!

Not even a year!

Then, with lightning speed, he became a Level 5 Researcher.

He also crossed the threshold of becoming a prospective beast tamer and became a formal beast tamer.

Huangzhou: What kind of time management master is this?

Is this really something an ordinary human being could do?

Huang Zhou now reasonably suspects that Qiao Bai either has ten brains working simultaneously, or he has a body growing on his liver.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to do so many things at the same time.

After reviewing Qiao Bai's growth experience, Huang Zhou was filled with confidence in Qiao Bai, and the slight guilt he had felt earlier had finally dissipated: "You kid... you really scared me!"

"But no matter what, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. I'll make the decision here. In name, you're a Level 5 Researcher, but the NY City Beast Taming Alliance will give you the treatment of a Level 4 Researcher!" Huang Zhou thought highly of Qiao Bai and didn't want him to suffer any injustice.

The main point is that investing in Joe White is investing in the future of New York City.

Once Qiao Bai grows up, he will definitely become a pillar of New York City.

We absolutely cannot let Qiao Bai suffer during his growth!

After saying that, Huang Zhou ignored Qiao Bai's refusal and directly settled the matter!

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai's face showed a wry smile: "Alright, alright, thank you, Uncle Huang."

"Don't thank me, you deserve this!"

hang up the phone.

Other benefits will be seen later, but the most obvious benefit is that after Qiao Bai obtained the official title of Level 5 Researcher, he can receive a salary every month!

Yes.

I haven't even started university yet, but I've already received my salary.

With a six-figure monthly salary, Qiao Bai understood even more why pet evolution had become a popular major for employment.

Everyone rushed in just for the money.

With sufficient funding, a group of researchers with strong professional skills has indeed emerged.

This is the power of money.

Qiao Bai: Cheers to being rich!

……

For the next month or so, Qiao Bai didn't rush into his new job.

He learned about the preparations needed to set up a laboratory through various channels.

Simultaneously.

He even took the cat and bug to challenge the newbie training ground when he had some free time.

It's in New York City.

Those rivals who already knew Qiao Bai's face: "..."

Good guy!

Didn't the Great Demon King and his demonic pets evolve a long time ago?

They saw the battle that took place at the beginning of the new year!

The videos on the forum are going viral!

There were also photos, each one perfectly highlighting the Great Demon King's handsomeness and the domineering presence of his evolved pets. This left many aspiring beast tamers who wanted to challenge the Great Demon King only able to whine and cry, biting their handkerchiefs.

We'll never see the Great Demon King again!

The Great Demon King is not on the same level as them!

The Great Demon King ascended to heaven with his pet beast!

The other beast tamers... are happy!

Happy!

Great!

Without the Great Demon King, the training ground once again became their happy home.

Get abused by others, then abuse others in return.

The main idea is a cycle.

then……

The Great Demon King suddenly returned with his newly contracted pet beast.

The beast tamers at the NY City beginner training grounds: "..."

Heart died.

Fortunately, the beast that the Great Demon King took out to fight them was not the sparrow-sized Hua Bird that had tortured them for two whole months last year.

The evolved Little Crow lay lazily in Qiao Bai's arms, occupying the best viewing spot, while the pet beast that appeared was Cat Bug.

It can't fly.

It's tiny.

Her appearance is... indescribable.

The kind of thing that makes your SAN rating drop just by looking at it under bright lights.

It has no tail, looks like a cat but isn't a cat, has horns on its head, a round body, and chirps with its mouth open.

No?

What kind of amazing hybrid is this?

Every beast tamer who battles the cat-bug for the first time will involuntarily show this questioning expression on their face.

can't read.

I really can't understand it.

What they found most unacceptable was that... this thing only had seven legs!

That's right.

After confirming it repeatedly, they found that the cat-like insect indeed only had seven legs.

Short, pointed, and fleshy, without any paw pads, an uninformed person might mistake its legs for an enlarged version of some kind of supernatural caterpillar.

The problem is that the insect's legs are also symmetrical, not like this...

The opponents tried to gesticulate, their faces showing signs of difficulty.

When facing an opponent with obsessive-compulsive disorder, he almost goes completely insane throughout the entire match.

Qiao Bai: Hehe~

Catbug: Hehehe~

Little Wu: Go for it! Don't tarnish my reputation, my dear boss!

Catbug: Go go go!

Dragons are the best!

The cat-like bug has been flushed!

The cat-like bug felt happy!

"Chirp chirp!"

"Chirp!"

They're all so weak!

I'll eat them one by one!

Although Cat Bug doesn't have as many skills as Little U—mainly because Qiao Bai discovered that there's a prerequisite for teaching Cat Bug skills—the skills must be leveled up to the maximum level, otherwise it's impossible to teach Cat Bug skills—therefore, Cat Bug only has four skills so far.

[Mind Guidance], [Shadow Stealth], [Broken Blade], and [Shadow Invasion], which is reversed by the max-level skill [Fairy Flash].

【Shadow Assault: After use, it will form a highly poisonous field with a diameter of five to ten meters centered on the pet. The blackish-purple mist will last for three minutes. Depending on the superhuman creature's own resistance to poison, it will lose 10% to 30% of its health per minute. There is a certain possibility of instant death. Superhuman creatures with poison attributes cannot completely resist the toxin.】

Qiao Bai: "..."

As expected of a skill that is a reversal of the max-level [Fairy Flash].

It's significantly stronger than the regular Shadow Assault.

The sheer area it covers is something that ordinary supernatural beings cannot achieve.

Five to ten meters.

Specifically, it can be controlled by the cat-like insect itself, but given the cat-like insect's current strength, it would be quite impressive if it could maintain a highly toxic field with a coverage area of ​​five meters for three minutes.

As the Cat Bug's strength increases, its territory will expand again.

Furthermore, the concentration of toxins has also increased.

It can be said that this is a skill that can be used to kill a beginner.

Qiao Bai wouldn't let the cat bug use this skill often.

Furthermore, some flying opponents can also avoid the area of ​​effect.

Compared to directly maxing out [Shadow Assault], Qiao Bai intentionally directed the cat-like insects to use [Mind Guidance] and [Shadow Stealth].

These two skills are innate to the cat-like insect, but their proficiency level is not maxed out.

Moreover... Qiao Bai also wanted to see if the cat-like insect could learn any new skills in battle.

pity.

The cat-like insects have all changed from Tier 2 Advanced to Tier 3 Intermediate, and so far we haven't seen them learn any new skills.

As the battle ended, Qiao Bai casually reached out towards the cat-like insect.

The cat-like insect skillfully and nimbly used its seven short legs to dash and leap into Qiao Bai's arms in a way that most people couldn't understand.

"grumble!"

"Chirp chirp!"

"Chirp chirp!"

Are dragons very powerful?

The dragon defeated them all again today!

Press it down and rub it against the ground!

As expected of a dragon!

This little dragon is so amazing!

Without Qiao Bai having to say anything, Xiao Wu took the initiative to help Maomaochong overcome arrogance and impetuosity.

Little Wu stared at the cat-like insect with its big, round, golden-red eyes, then looked up at Qiao Bai, and spread its large wings to pat Qiao Bai's arm.

Let the birds come!

The bird helped it calm down!

Catbug: QAQ

It only takes the blink of an eye for someone to go from feeling smug to bursting into tears.

The cat-like insect wanted to escape... but couldn't.

Every time this happens.

That's when the other beast tamers in the training ground are happy.

"Hehehe, seeing Little U appear brings back memories of my battles with him back in the day!"

"Yeah! The Great Demon King has already contracted a second pet beast and is back to crushing the weak. We're still the same weaklings."

"...Can't you speak properly? If you can't, then shut up!"

What do you mean by "vegetarian"?

This is a normal growth rate for them, okay?

That kind of thing, like the Great Demon King, is truly defying the heavens!

few!!!

Don't compare them to the Great Demon King using the standards of normal people; you'll only humiliate yourself in the end.

They are not like that!!!

at last.

Qiao Bai finished his day of training.

Without taking Xiao Wu and the cat-like insect back into the beast-taming space, Qiao Bai held Xiao Wu in one arm, scrolled through his phone with the other, and had the cat-like insect perched on his shoulder, and walked out of the novice training ground in a relaxed manner.

It was a message from our homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang.
