Chapter 41: Mutation and Steep Livelihood Pursuit)
He didn't even bother to get back the large and small bags he had stored before. After walking out of the restaurant, Lin Shuo rushed towards the hotel without hesitation.
Although Qiuqiu's wound managed to stop bleeding with the help of the beast-controlling space, there should be no delay and proper treatment must be obtained as soon as possible.
Feeling the pain of Qiuqiu in the beast-controlling space, he felt particularly distressed.
But he didn't regret letting Qiuqiu fight the green feathered eagle with all his might, and he believed the same was true for Qiuqiu.
"Hey, little brother, stop for a moment!"
From behind, there was a sound.
Are you calling me?
Lin Shuo stopped slightly and turned to look.
But he saw a man and a woman about the same age as him running towards him.
As Lin Shuo stopped, the other party quickly quickened his pace and walked in front of Lin Shuo.
"Phew! Little brother, you ran so fast, I almost didn't catch up." Zhang Xuyang took a few breaths and smiled friendly at Lin Shuo, "Let me introduce myself, I..."
"Sorry, let's talk about it next time. I need to take my pet for treatment as soon as possible." Lin Shuo interrupted the strange boy apologetically and spoke without hesitation.
Although it was still in the business district near the hotel, it was still a long way from the hotel. I was afraid it would take more than ten minutes to walk. Now he just wanted to treat Qiuqiu as soon as possible, and other things were not as important as Qiuqiu.
"Oh, yes, your pet is injured." Zhang Xuyang suddenly said, "I have a healing pet, how about I help you treat it?"
Um?
Hearing this, Lin Shuo's footsteps stopped instantly.
Rather than rushing to the hotel ten minutes later for Qin Nan to treat Qiuqiu, it seems good to be able to treat Qiuqiu's injury earlier.
With some calculation in his mind, Lin Shuo looked at Zhang Xuyang and said, "Thank you, I can use the energy cube as a thank you."
"No, no, no, it's nothing." Zhang Xuyang shook his head and smiled. Among the goose-yellow lights under his feet, an orphan baby quietly appeared beside him.
The orphan baby in front of him is one level lower than Qin Nan's one, but the healing ability of the elite-level orphan baby is not weak anymore, and it is enough to treat Qiuqiu's injuries.
Lin Shuo looked at the data displayed in the detector, nodded, summoned Qiuqiu from the beast control space, carefully held it in the palm of his hand and placed it on the orphan baby's soft pillow-like umbrella cover, "Please.
.”
"Gujigu! (*^o^*)" (Leave it to me!)
Dots of faint green light appeared on the umbrella cover of the orphan baby, converging towards the ferocious wound on Qiuqiu's palm. As the light slowly blended into Qiuqiu's wound, he originally left the beast-controlling space and lost his suppression before starting again.
The bleeding wound stopped bleeding instantly, and the exposed flesh slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Gu Baobao's beast master, "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome." Zhang Xuyang smiled, "Do you have time to chat this time?"
"Well, what do you want from me?" Lin Shuo asked.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I saw the whole battle between your Xue Henqing and that blue-feathered eagle just now. To be honest, I admire you for being able to cultivate your pet beast to such an extent in the young stage, so I want to get to know you.
Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Xuyang, and I am a freshman at Jinghua University."
"So it's the senior, my name is Lin Shuo." Lin Shuo's eyes were a little surprised. It was not easy to be admitted to the beast master of Jinghua University. He didn't expect that he could meet one here.
"This is my cousin, her name is Zhang Qingqing. She just graduated from high school this year. I guess you are like her, right?" After introducing himself, Zhang Xuyang turned around and introduced the nervous and worried person next to him who was squatting in front of the orphaned baby.
The girl looking at the ball.
"Hello, can I touch your pet? It will never affect its treatment!" Seeing Qiuqiu at close range, Zhang Qingqing's eyes flashed brightly, and when he heard his cousin introducing himself, he asked.
stand up.
"Okay." Lin Shuo nodded slightly when he saw that Qiuqiu's expression relaxed a little under Gubaobao's treatment and no longer moaned in pain.
After seeing the girl carefully reaching out her hand to gently stroke the ball, Lin Shuo dropped his last guard and turned to look at Zhang Xuyang, "Yes, I have just graduated from high school this year."
"Have you ever thought about applying for a major at Jinghua University?" Zhang Xuyang chuckled and couldn't help but ask, "It's not long before the university entrance exam registration starts. I think you should have considered it, right? Maybe I can give you some advice.
Staff officer?"
This young man is so outstanding and is in District 1, so Zhang Xuyang has never thought about the possibility that he will not apply for Jinghua University.
At this moment, he secretly hoped that the other person would apply for the same major as himself, so that the two of them would interact more in the future and build a better relationship.
College is not like high school, interpersonal communication is also very important.
"Um..." Lin Shuo's expression became slightly weird, "Senior, you may have misunderstood. I should apply for Shancheng University."
Although Qin Nan didn't say that he had to take the entrance examination at Shancheng University, Lin Shuo had already made this plan since he was used to staying at the Institute of Evolution.
Now he is no longer an assistant researcher, but a formal researcher, so if he applies to the Beastmaster University in other safe zones, he will have a lot of trouble in the future.
It is impossible for him to give up his hard-earned official researcher status in order to go to another beast master university, nor can he frequently travel back and forth between the two safe zones, so the best option for him is to stay in the mountain city
In the university.
As a formal researcher at the Institute of Evolution of Yamashiro University, and as a student of Yamashiro University, I can do both.
Yamashiro University is originally one of the top five beast control universities in the Yanhuang Alliance. Its own strength is not weak. Since they are both top universities, the gap in strength between them will not be too big. Therefore, there is no need to force the first Jinghua University.
Speaking of which, after this year's breeding achievement competition, Yamashiro University's ranking may be able to improve a bit.
"Ah? You want to apply for Shancheng University?" Zhang Xuyang frowned, this was beyond his expectation, "Since you live in District 1, why do you want to stay far away?"
"Well, I'm actually from District 11. I just came here recently... to travel here." Lin Shuo didn't tell the truth. After thinking about it, he decided to lie and claim that he was here for tourism.
"Even so, Jinghua University is better than Shancheng University. This is the number one institution in the Yanhuang Alliance." Zhang Xuyang shook his head, "Even if you are from District 11, it should be quite convenient to go to university here.
.”
Lin Shuo said nothing more and just smiled.
But Zhang Xuyang couldn't help but frown slightly.
If such a monster goes to Shancheng University, Jinghua University will have enemies in the future.
No, we have to find a way to fool him...oh no, make him abandon the secret and turn to the light!
Soon, Zhang Xuyang had an idea.
This time, the research project of Jinghua University that he participated in will be displayed in tomorrow's breeding results competition. Although he has not contributed much, as a participant, Zhang Xuyang is qualified to invite his relatives and friends to visit the site.
Compared with the simultaneous live broadcast in 72 safe zones, the shock brought by watching it live will be more intense.
He was very confident in the research project he participated in. The first place in this breeding achievement competition must be from Jinghua University.
seeing is believing.
As long as he invites Lin Shuo to watch it live and let Lin Shuo witness with his own eyes the strength of Jinghua University's scientific research, he believes that the junior student in front of him will change his mind.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuyang smiled and said, "Junior Lin Shuo, do you know about the college breeding achievement competition?"
"...I know." Lin Shuo's expression was a little strange, and he didn't expect the other party to suddenly mention this.
Could he not know? Isn't this why he came to District 1?
"It's like this. In this university breeding achievement competition, I also participated in the display project of Jinghua University, so I am qualified to invite relatives and friends to watch it live. If you are willing, would you like to come and see it tomorrow? It is better to watch it live than in the live broadcast.
It's much more shocking." Zhang Xuyang spoke confidently, he believed that Lin Shuo must be very interested in this.
Lin Shuo was indeed very interested, but the point of interest was different from what Zhang Xuyang thought.
The other party turned out to be a participant in the Kyoto University exhibition project tomorrow?
This was beyond his expectation.
But after thinking about it, Lin Shuo still didn't plan to tell the other party his identity. After coughing slightly, he explained, "Senior, thank you very much for the invitation, but I don't think I need it. I will watch the scene through other means tomorrow."
Breeding Achievements Competition.”
"Oh?" Zhang Xuyang nodded, "That's not bad."
In addition to the representative teams from various universities, the Breeding Achievements Competition will also invite people from all walks of life to watch the event. Those who can be invited are those with a certain status.
Zhang Xuyang guessed that this was probably what Lin Shuo was talking about. He should be the descendant of a well-known figure in District 11, so he came to District 1 to watch the college breeding results competition live.
Well, very reasonable.
Zhang Xuyang, who thought he had guessed the other party's identity, did not mention the invitation again.
As long as Lin Shuo can go to the scene, that's enough.
I believe he will change his mind after seeing the gap between other universities and Jinghua University.
While the two of them were chatting, Qiuqiu had been almost completely healed by the orphaned baby. There was only a shallow scar on Flesh Mold Lake's little fleshy claws, and he would be able to fully recover after a while of training.
Qiuqiu slowly sat up from Gu Baobao's umbrella cover and gently rubbed the other person's soft umbrella cover.
"Mi~(?òωó?)" (Thank you~)
"Gujigu~(￣▽￣)ノ" (You're welcome~)
Thanking Zhang Xuyang again, Lin Shuo took the ball back into the beast-controlling space, which had not yet fully recovered, to speed up its recovery of physical strength and injuries, and exchanged communication signals with Zhang Xuyang before parting ways.
This time, he did not forget to take back the large and small bags he had stored.
Ten minutes later, Lin Shuo returned to his room in the hotel and put away these large and small bags. Before he could take a rest, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Here we come!" Lin Shuo walked up to the room and opened the door. He was slightly startled when he saw Qin Nan, who smelled of alcohol and had an unhappy face. "Sister Nan, what's wrong with you? Have you been drinking?"
"Don't mention it." Qin Nan pushed Lin Shuo away and lazily sat on the sofa, "That stinky bitch, Lin Shuo, you must give me a hard slap on her face tomorrow!"
Ah this...
Lin Shuo's expression became slightly strange.
There is only one person who can be called a stinky bitch by Qin Nan.
Shi Yuhua, a first-level researcher at the Research Institute of Jinghua University.
Lin Shuo didn't know what the old grudges between the two were, but Qin Nan had mentioned each other to him several times before.
According to Qin Nan, the research project presented by Jinghua University in this breeding achievement competition was the one in charge of researcher Shi Yuhua.
Speaking of which…
That Senior Zhang just now should be working under Researcher Shi, right?
"Sister Nan, do you know what the other party's project is?" Lin Shuo couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know." Qin Nan said angrily, "That bitch is different from me. She likes to hold back her bad feelings."
"I applied for certification as soon as my Divine Light Butterfly project was completed. After certification, it will appear in the race information database of the Beast Control Association, and the researcher's status can be easily queried."
"That bitch is different. She has completed her research project a long time ago, but has been slow to apply for certification. Until now, others don't know what her research project is." Qin Nan rolled his eyes, "She actually did it today.
You came here specifically to taunt me, but you didn’t see how hateful that bitch’s face is.”
"So Xiao Linzi, be more arrogant tomorrow!" Qin Nan patted Lin Shuo on the shoulder, "Everyone thinks that the display result of our Shancheng University is the Phoenix Pattern Holy Butterfly, so I will give them a big surprise tomorrow.
You need to bring a high-definition recording camera to clearly capture the woman being slapped in the face!"
"I know, I know." Lin Shuo smiled.
"Okay! I'm leaving!" Qin Nan stood up from the sofa and waved her hand to refuse Lin Shuo's support, "I'm not drunk, I'm sober!"
Lin Shuo: “…”
That's what drunk people say.
It wasn't until he stood in the corridor and saw Qin Nan returning to his room that Lin Shuo felt relieved and closed his door.
"Well…"
The next moment, he suddenly held on to the door that had just been closed, with a bit of confusion and astonishment on his face.
At this moment, an extremely strong feeling of sleepiness poured into his mind.
A feeling of powerlessness came from every corner of his body, and his eyelids became heavy, as if they might close at any time.
His consciousness was obviously still awake, but this sleepiness seemed to forcefully drag his conscious consciousness into a dream.
what happened?
Is there a pet beast that uses hypnotic skills on itself?
Lin Shuo suddenly had such an idea in his mind, but then he rejected it.
The hypnosis skill requires looking directly into the other person's eyes, and he didn't see any pets at all at the moment.
So, the problem is himself?
For others, feeling sleepy means it's time to sleep.
But for Lin Shuo, sleeping is not as simple as sleeping.
That is his key to traveling between two worlds.
Is there something wrong with time travel?
Lin Shuo didn't have time to think about it, the sleepiness became more and more intense in a very short period of time, almost completely covering his consciousness. He couldn't hold on any longer, so he only had time to lie down in a relatively comfortable position before closing his eyes.
on the sofa.
Immediately afterwards, driven by sleepiness, Lin Shuo instantly fell into a deep sleep.
