Chapter 12 Smoking is harmful to health (see further reading)
Opening the receipt with trembling hands, Lin Shuo soon discovered that he had misunderstood.
The reason why I gave myself a receipt so quickly was not because the review failed.
But the Beast Mastering Association was too efficient and passed it in one night.
Lin Shuo hugged Qiuqiu and couldn't help but marveled.
Unexpectedly, the Beast Control Association sent people to conduct verification overnight, and came to a definite conclusion overnight.
Although he had known for a long time that there would be no problems with this evolutionary route, he still wanted to say it at this moment.
I really love this diligent animal control association.
…
Institute of Evolution, Yamashiro University.
The dawn light shone through the glass window into a research room. Not a single person could be seen in the research room. Until a certain moment, a trembling hand stretched out from the side of the table and pressed it on the edge of the table, followed by another.
One hand.
After a while, a somewhat decadent woman with short hair stood up from the table, her two big dark circles under her eyes making her look particularly listless.
"One night... my liver will die." She staggered to the side of the coffee machine, poured a cup of coffee and drank it, then lightly stamped her feet.
The light purple light patterns intertwined into extremely complex patterns under her feet. She had a humanoid figure, only one meter tall, with green lines all over her body, and a huge umbrella on her head. The overall image was similar to that of a mushroom.
Some similar pet beasts appeared at the woman's feet.
Almost at the same time as summoning the pet beast, the woman skillfully took out a pack of exquisitely packaged women's cigarettes from her pocket, took out one, lit it, took a puff, and skillfully blew out a smoke ring with a salty expression on her face.
"Baby, milk me!"
"Gujigu! (￣▽￣)ノ" (No problem!)
Soon, after smoking one cigarette, the woman did not continue to smoke the next one, but put the lady's cigarette back into her pocket. The dark circles under her eyes were completely healed by the orphan baby.
full HP resurrection.
Bending down and touching the fleshy umbrella cover of the orphaned baby, the woman bared her teeth and smiled, "How can I live without you little guy!"
Upon hearing this, the orphan baby covered his eyes with his two small hands like bean sprouts, showing a shy look.
"Gujigu! (／.＼)" (heehee!)
After sending the orphaned baby back to the beast-controlling space, the woman turned on the communication device and clicked a few times, with a hint of playfulness on her face, "Can you discover a new evolutionary route in your third year of high school? Isn't this kid simple?"
As an invited examiner of the Beast Control Association, the woman cannot obtain any identity information of the submitter before completing the examination. This is also to avoid cover-up and other behaviors.
But now that the review has been passed, with the authority of the short-haired woman as a first-level researcher, it is completely possible to check the identity information of the submitter.
This look made her discover something remarkable.
She originally thought it was a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse and a poor academic student, or an evolutionary route submitted by a research institution, but the actual submitter was a senior high school student who had just obtained the initial pet beast and completed the certification.
Although the study of evolutionary routes requires relatively less theoretical knowledge, it is not something that a high school student can accomplish with the theoretical knowledge.
If the evolutionary route submitted by the other party is of little value, women will not pay much attention to it.
But this evolutionary route is somewhat different.
Although it is useless to submit a worse evolutionary form when the Swift Lizard has a better evolutionary form, some theories in this evolutionary route have aroused the interest of women.
Use the conflict of opposing attribute resources to stimulate the life instinct of alien beasts, thereby assisting the alien beasts to better absorb evolutionary resources and complete the evolutionary process?
This is an idea that no one has ever thought of, and it sounds very risky, but the woman's experiment overnight proved that this evolutionary route is more stable than imagined.
Not only that, the projects that women themselves are working on have some new directions to try because they are inspired by this evolutionary route.
"Send him a private email and see if you can take the time to chat with him in person." The woman seemed to have thought of something, and there was a little smile in her eyes.
Boy, you have successfully aroused my interest.
…
Continuing to check the details of the receipt, Lin Shuo slowly opened his eyes.
He initially chose the evolutionary route of Swift Lizard for submission for two reasons.
The first is that this evolutionary route is tasteless enough and will not attract much attention.
The second is that this evolutionary route will not use any evolutionary skills or evolutionary resources that Blue Star does not have. Everything exists in Blue Star, avoiding subsequent troubles.
He was already so cautious, but he never expected that a little problem would arise.
The evaluation of the evolution route of the Swift Lizard in the reply is: the evolution route itself does not have much reference, but the new idea of using resources with opposing attributes is groundbreaking, and the overall evaluation is above average.
Opposite attribute resources…
Lin Shuo sighed softly.
Or he has little theoretical knowledge. He knows very little about the study of evolutionary routes and is completely unaware of the problems in this area.
Fortunately, the review was successfully passed without too many surprises.
And because of the higher evaluation, the rewarded alliance contribution points will also increase accordingly.
In the end, Lin Shuo received 500 contribution points by submitting the evolutionary route this time.
Contribution points and alliance coins are not allowed to be exchanged with each other, but the approximate value difference between the two is a thousand times. In other words, these 500 contribution points are equivalent to 500,000 alliance coins.
And because you can use contribution points to get a discount when redeeming resources, the actual value will be even higher. For example, one of the previous ice attribute first-level energy cubes worth 1,500 alliance coins can be exchanged for one piece with only one contribution point.
These many contribution points are enough for Lin Shuo and Qiuqiu to train for a long time.
Thinking of this, Lin Shuo couldn't help but pick up Qiuqiu and throw it into the air, "Qiuqiu, we are rich!"
"Mi?(??ω??)" (Can I buy more energy cubes?)
"Enough of the catnip flavor!" Lin Shuo waved his arms, extremely generous, "Let's place an order now!"
The benefits of redeeming contribution points are that resource discounts are only one aspect. In addition, there is no need to pay extra when choosing the flavor of energy cubes and breeding cubes. You can purchase them directly on the website of the Beast Mastering Association and have them delivered to your home with free shipping.
wait.
Yes, free shipping is the key.
The postage fee of more than ten yuan is enough for him to have two cups of soy milk for breakfast.
One person, one pet, two heads crowded together, they approached the screen of the communication device to discuss and select, and soon added a large number of training resources that could be used in the near future to the shopping cart.
After spending nearly fifty contribution points at one time, Lin Shuo stopped happily. He looked at Qiuqiu, who was looking at the light screen of the communication device with some lust, and his heart moved.
"Qiuqiu, can I give you a video lesson on pet animal literacy?"
"Mi?" (What's the use of that?)
"After you can read, I will buy you a new communication device. You can log in to my account and buy things on the association website."
What? Buy something yourself?
Qiuqiu's heart suddenly moved.
"Mi!" (Want to have it!)
"Then it's settled." Lin Shuo smiled, "When you get tired from training, you can watch the video lessons and learn to read by yourself."
He just happened to be browsing the Beast Taming Association forum and saw a post by a senior Beast Tamer saying that his pet beast could find information online to learn teaching skills since he became literate, and that's when he came up with a similar idea.
It’s not that I want to be lazy, I just think there is no harm in my pet beast learning more knowledge.
And after you become literate, many things will become much easier.
"Okay, we're about to go..." Lin Shuo was just about to say that he was going to train when the communication device suddenly sounded a beep.
Turning on the communication device, he quickly found that he had a new email, and the sender's nickname was simply "Qin Nan".
An email from a stranger? Lin Shuo subconsciously opened it and checked it.
Soon, his expression became wonderful.
This woman named Qin Nan was the researcher responsible for testing her own evolutionary route last night. She said that this evolutionary route gave her a lot of inspiration, and she hoped to take the time to talk in person.
Lin Shuo also specially clicked on her identity authentication page. The certification title of Yamashiro Beastmaster University Evolution Laboratory First-level Researcher was extremely dazzling.
Yamashiro Beastmaster University is one of the top five beastmaster universities in the Yanhuang Alliance in terms of overall strength.
To be fair, chatting with such a research expert will definitely be of great help to me.
But by the same token, chatting with the other party will definitely expose your own weaknesses in knowledge, and this may make the other party doubt the origin of the evolutionary route.
After struggling for a moment, Lin Shuo replied that he could meet and talk.
Considering the submission of subsequent evolutionary routes, he really needs to talk to some experts in this field. As for the disadvantages in knowledge...
We can only make amends before the other party comes.
This kind of research boss is usually quite busy. It will take at least a few days to make an appointment to meet, and he may not have time for a month or two, so it is probably not too late to make up for it temporarily.
Maybe?
Lin Shuo fell into self-doubt when he saw the reply of "I'll be there this afternoon" almost instantly.
"Ball ball."
"Mi? (′ω｀)" (What's wrong?)
"We won't be training today. You can learn to read and write for a day."
"Mi?" (What about you?)
Lin Shuo turned on the communication device expressionlessly and began to search for information.
"I'm going to start cramming."
…
“No. 1 Qiuye Road…”
Qin Nan turned on the communication device in his hand, and the navigation indicated that this was Lin Shuo's home address registered in the Beast Control Association.
Looking at the ancient door of Qiuye Children's Welfare Home in front of her, she suddenly fell silent.
With a look of memories and sadness on his face, Qin Nan silently took out a cigarette, lit it, and stepped forward to open the door of the orphanage.
The sound of "squeaking" alarmed Lin Shuo, who was already nervously preparing in the hospital. He looked back at the people entering the orphanage, took a deep breath and stepped forward quickly, "Are you Researcher Qin Nan?"
"I'm not that old, so I don't need to use honorifics." Qin Nan blew out a smoke ring skillfully and looked at Lin Shuo, "Relax, I'm not here to ask you how you discovered the evolutionary route."
Lin Shuo: "???"
You go straight to the topic when you come up, how can I relax?
"Sit down first." Qin Nan walked into the courtyard and sat down casually, glancing at the books Lin Shuo placed on the table.
"Principles of Evolution of Alien Beasts"
"Detailed Explanation of the Swift Lizard Race"
"Detailed Principle Analysis of Evolutionary Technique Water Breathing Alveoli"
"You are well prepared." After two seconds of silence, Qin Nan looked at Lin Shuo sitting opposite him playfully, "But these are not needed."
Lin Shuo: “…”
"I mainly want to hear how you think a light pet beast should have fire attributes?"
"Light system..." Lin Shuo frowned, "Light system and fire system are attributes that are related to a certain extent. Compared with other attributes, these two attributes are more adaptable, so let the light system pet beast possess fire through evolution.
The attribute difficulty shouldn’t be too great, right?”
"Yes, it is true." Qin Nan nodded slightly, and then spoke again, "What if the light beast's own race is naturally afraid of flames? How to overcome it?"
Naturally afraid of fire?
Lin Shuo was stunned.
So why do you have to let a pet beast that is naturally afraid of flames awaken the fire element?
Is this something humans do?
"Do we have to overcome it? Can we let it evolve into another system?" Lin Shuo asked cautiously.
"No, it must be the fire element." Qin Nan shook his head, "You don't have to be too mentally burdened, just say whatever comes to mind. I just want to hear your thoughts."
Lin Shuo nodded and frowned in thought.
Qin Nan asked himself questions, obviously with the meaning of comparison.
The other party probably has doubts about how he discovered the evolutionary route, so he needs to check whether his theoretical knowledge is sufficient.
In this case, it would definitely not work for him to directly say that he didn't know.
No matter what, you have to say something meaningful in order to gain the other party's approval.
He began to seriously recall the unique evolutionary route of Shenwu World that he had seen before.
Does any of this help with this issue?
After thinking for a while, Lin Shuo's eyes gradually brightened.
In the evolutionary path of Shenwu World, he did not see the same situation.
But there is a similar case.
It is a kind of pet bird, which has mastered the power of earth element after a special evolutionary route.
Theoretically, earth power and bird pets are completely in conflict.
Pet animals that are afraid of fire are also in conflict with the fire element.
So a similar evolutionary idea may be feasible.
Lin Shuo coughed lightly, "I think maybe this is possible..."
…
Frankly speaking, when Qin Nan proposed to talk to Lin Shuo face to face, he didn't actually have high hopes.
She spent so much time on her current research project that she felt like seeking medical treatment in a hurry.
She just thought Lin Shuo's ideas were more interesting and might bring her some other inspirations.
But as Lin Shuo finished speaking, Qin Nan's eyes became brighter and brighter.
This method sounds outrageous.
But it makes sense.
Qin Nan imagined that this evolutionary method might be successful if only a few details were adjusted.
Excited, Qin Nan inhaled the lady's cigarette in his hand to the end. He coughed lightly, frowned slightly, and the light purple summoning lines on the soles of his feet intertwined, summoning the orphaned baby again.
Seeing that the other party summoned a wood beast to heal himself, Lin Shuo couldn't help but said, "Um... Researcher Qin, are you sick?"
"No." Qin Nan flicked her finger and waited until the cigarette butt accurately hit the trash can in the distance before she explained, "Smoking is harmful to health, so I contracted a pet beast that can heal."
Lin Shuo: "???"
So why don't you just quit smoking?
"This is not important." Qin Nan waved his hand and looked at Lin Shuo seriously. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have made a decision.
"I plan to hire you as my assistant researcher, are you willing?"
