The next day.
As dawn broke, Qiao Sang got up on time, quickly washed up, had breakfast, and then used Xiao Xunbao’s Spatial Movement to arrive at Yuliandun University.
Seeing that the surrounding buildings were not the teaching buildings of the Beast Mastery Academy, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but turn to Xiao Xunbao:
"You’ve memorized the coordinates of all the buildings on campus, right? Try to move directly to the classroom next time."
"Xun Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao didn’t reply immediately, but after a two-second delay, it seemed to snap back and called out.
Could long-term computer use have dulled its mind...? Qiao Sang was a bit worried seeing Xiao Xunbao’s status, but then he relaxed thinking that in just one more day, the Substitute Skill would reach the Pinnacle of Profound Meaning.
It’s just one day anyway...
Holding Yaobao, Qiao Sang headed towards the classroom.
He had barely taken a few steps when a pet beast with elastic, almost milky-white balloon-like skin, eyes that took up two-thirds of its face, and an adorably cute appearance came waddling over quickly with small steps, offering a piece of bread.
"Yuan Yuan~"
The milky-white, balloon-like skinned pet beast blinked its eyes, filled with expectation.
Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment, "Is this for me?"
"Yuan Yuan~"
The milky-white, balloon-like skinned pet beast nodded shyly, face flushed.
So cute... Qiao Sang was a bit charmed and unconsciously reached out to take it.
Just then, a voice shouted:
"Don’t take it!"
Qiao Sang turned towards the voice and recognized the blonde girl who had sat next to him at the newcomers’ welcoming area.
Lailarly ran over, panting slightly:
"Don’t take it, if you take it, you have to give it 1 Point."
What? One bread for 1 Point? Qiao Sang looked in surprise at the pet beast still holding the bread.
"Yuan Yuan."
Seeing his expression, the milky-white, balloon-like skinned pet beast knew this deal was falling through and showed an expression that said "You’re wasting my time." It took the bread back and turned away.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Lailarly, seeing it leave, sighed in relief and said:
"You might not be aware since you don’t live on campus, but many people here are ruthless in earning Points. That Yuan Mengnai specifically lies in wait during meal times to hand out food, then after people unwrap it, it demands Points."
After saying this, she showed a bit of resentment:
"I don’t know whose pet beast it is, but I heard it has never been exposed."
How cunning, this is no different from taking a photo with "Monkey King" and then being charged for it in my past life... Qiao Sang complained internally, looking at Lailarly with gratitude:
"I’m glad you were here. I didn’t expect you to know so much just after school has started."
Lailarly fell silent all at once.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang suddenly realized something and carefully asked:
"You didn’t..."
Understanding what he was about to ask, Lailarly interjected, "That’s right, I was tricked out of 1 Point by that Yuan Mengnai yesterday."
Qiao Sang felt a bit awkward and immediately changed the subject:
"Which class are you in?"
"Class three," Lailarly replied, and then thought of something and looked up to him in admiration:
"I didn’t expect you to be so amazing. You just dominated everyone in the assessments yesterday."
Qiao Sang replied modestly:
"I just wanted to accumulate some Points quickly, I didn’t mean to provoke."
"That’s not something any normal person could think of, much less do," Lailarly teased.
She didn’t have any aversion to Qiao Sang’s behavior during the assessment.
In the Beast Taming Department, everything depended on strength.
If she had his kind of power, she would surely do the same.
Lailarly took out her cell phone:
"Let’s exchange contact information."
"Okay." Qiao Sang didn’t refuse.
As they were exchanging contact information, he saw a message from Dr. Doralisha:
[Come see me after class in the morning.] freeωebnovēl.c૦m
...
Not to mention, being acknowledged as a mentor by a Monster Genius felt quite great.
Dr. Doralisha sat down on the sofa in the leisure area and said seriously:
"There’s no doubt about your Beast Taming Talent, and I also found that you have participated and succeeded in the research of new evolution types as an intern researcher."
Sitting down on the armchair next to her, Qiao Sang glanced at Yaobao who was still exploring, and said:
"My Pet Beast accidentally evolved into a new form, so that’s why I participated in the research."
Dr. Doralisha looked at her admiringly, "It’s rare for someone who has been a Beast Tamer for such a short time to achieve such results. I’m currently conducting research about altering emotional energy vibration frequencies in Pet Beasts, would you like to join?"
I’m so busy every day, when would I have the time for research... Qiao Sang silently complained, then diplomatically declined:
"My understanding of emotional energy is only superficial; otherwise I wouldn’t have asked such questions yesterday."
"Everyone starts from not understanding to understanding," Dr. Doralisha smiled. "You have a Pet Beast that relies on emotional energy for its entire evolution chain; doing related research couldn’t be more appropriate."
"Besides, don’t you want Bingke Xilu to evolve?"
Qiao Sang paused, then asked,
"This research has something to do with Bingke Xilu’s evolution?"
"Of course," Dr. Doralisha explained. "All emotional energy has a vibration frequency."
"As the frequency is adjusted, the emotions will fluctuate accordingly."
"Let’s put it this way; if this research is successful, a Pet Beast feeling slightly happy might turn extremely happy in a short time, and a Pet Beast feeling slightly desperate might become extremely desperate."
At this, she smiled,
"Your Bingke Xilu probably needs to reach a certain level of despair to trigger its internal energy."
Qiao Sang’s heart raced, yet she hesitated,
"Research usually takes a long time, doesn’t it? I might have already left Yuliandun University by then."
"That’s not a problem," Dr. Doralisha waved it off. "We can communicate through the interstellar network at any time, and even if your Bingke Xilu evolves before this research bears fruit, there’s always the next stage."
"I remember Bing’ai Palu needs to experience excited emotions in at least minus 60-degree weather to evolve."
"If the research is successful, as soon as Bing’ai Palu feels slightly excited, we can amplify the emotional energy through the vibration frequency."
Dr. Doralisha paused, then continued:
"Once this research is successful, you will also become a junior researcher."
Qiao Sang couldn’t help being tempted.
She fell silent for a moment, then asked, "How much is the salary for a junior researcher?"
