Beast Taming Patrol

A million Alliance coins as a reward for Xue Henqing's evolutionary path?

That rich?

Lin Su couldn't help but click on the homepage of the girl named Gu Shumo.

After briefly browsing through her posts, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Turns out she was also from District 11 and a current junior at Mountain City University.

By the time he became a freshman at Mountain City University, he would probably have to call her 'senior'.

A million Alliance coins, translating to only a thousand contribution points, but there were many things that were a loss to purchase with contribution points. Using Alliance coins would be more convenient, like when Lin Su needed to rent a house or spend at certain places; these couldn't be paid with contribution points.

Although he now had enough contribution points, he was still quite short on Alliance coins.

So, he was indeed very tempted by this million Alliance coins.

What was more important was that her suggestion didn't conflict with his upcoming plans at all; it was just a side task.

In the world of Spirit Martial, Qiuqiu was about to evolve, and his research on Xue Henqing's evolving type was about to begin.

Even if he couldn't achieve results before Qiuqiu's evolution, he didn't want to delay it too long.

Having just reported such significant findings on Spirit-type evolution, he believed getting approval for his project researching Xue Henqing's evolving type wouldn't be difficult, and as the contractor and discoverer of Deep Sleep and Dream, it was completely reasonable for him to study Xue Henqing's evolving type.

Moreover, now someone had given him another new reason.

Lin Su pinched his chin and quickly replied to her comment.

[Lin Su: Reply to Gu Shumo: The next research project will be on Xue Henqing's evolving type, stay tuned.]

After replying to that message, Lin Su browsed through other comments and found out that many were curious about his relationship status.

Heh, women will only slow down my journey through worlds.

Assured that there were no other important messages, Lin Su immediately closed the communicator and logged off.

However, he was unaware, his reply had stirred up another commotion at that moment.

…

The follow feature on the Alliance social media platform notifies users immediately about any new post or reply from people they follow, so Lin Su's reply instantly appeared in numerous users' pop-up notifications.

The next research project is Xue Henqing's evolutionary type?

Numerous netizens, sensing news, swarmed to Lin Su's homepage and posted comments under his reply.

[Siamese Cat: Reply to Lin Su: Big bro's researching Xue Henqing's evolution type? If it's successful, my next beast will be a contracted Xue Henqing! Not asking for much, a low-rank commanding breed is fine!]

[Puking Little Bird: Reply to Siamese Cat: That's you not believing in Bro Lin Su, unlike me. I'll just feel sorry for bro~ I'm going to contract Xue Henqing right now!]

[Correction Band: Reply to Puking Little Bird: I know you from upstairs, don't just talk, do it if you dare, go contract now!]

"Ding Ling Ling." Inside the quiet meditation room, Gu Shumo opened her eyes.

This notification sound… must be from the social media platform about someone I follow, right?

She didn't follow many people; who could it be?

Thinking this, Gu Shumo turned on her communicator and her face quickly lit up with surprise.

Lin Su replied to her?!

Seeing his reply, Gu Shumo couldn't help but jump up excitedly.

"Yay! Xue Henqing's evolutionary type, let's go!"

Jumping around in the meditation room, Gu Shumo murmured softly, "No, I have to share this good news with Snowball."

Thinking that, the golden yellow light patterns under her feet intertwined, and Xue Henqing with a puzzled face was summoned from the Beast Taming Space.

"Mew? (°ω°)" (Is the sky falling?)

"Snowball! I've got super great news!" Gu Shumo hugged Xue Henqing cheerfully, and before he could react, she tossed him into the air.

"Mew?! (≖ω≖)" (What the?!)

Xue Henqing flapped his little paws wildly in the sky, unconsciously releasing clusters of ice flowers, then landed back into Gu Shumo's arms.

"Snowball, I think you might be evolving soon!" Catching Xue Henqing, Gu Shumo took the opportunity to pet it furiously before it could react.

Regaining its composure, Xue Henqing hurriedly jumped out of Gu Shumo's arms and let out a helpless cry.

"Meow! (≖ω≖)" ("You said the same thing last time!")

"Oh, this time is different!" Gu Shumo laughed, "I have a feeling, this time it will definitely work, you have to trust a woman's sixth sense!"

"Meow…" ("I only believe in my Snow Trace…")

"Then get your Snow Trace to Level III quickly!" Gu Shumo rolled her eyes, "At Level III, you can fly, don't you want to fly?"

"Meow…" ("How could an Elite Class master a Level III skill...")

"You're just lazy." Gu Shumo could not help but roll her eyes, "In the school's Battle Club, there are plenty of beast elites that have reached Level III skills, not only elites, but I even saw a video on the Xue Henqing forum yesterday where a juvenile class mastered a Level III Snow Trace!"

"Meow! Meow? (눈_눈)" ("Damn! Is it that competitive?")

"You better believe it, I'll find it for you right now." While talking, Gu Shumo pulled up the video she watched last night and played it in front of Xue Henqing.

In the video, a juvenile-class Xue Henqing was battling a Green Feathered Eagle.

"Huh?" As she watched, Gu Shumo's face took on a strange expression.

She had only caught a quick glimpse yesterday, focusing only on the Xue Henqing and not paying attention to anything else.

But upon closer inspection now, that beast tamer controlling the Xue Henqing… wasn't that Lin Su?

Even though it was a sneaky shot, shaky and blurry, she had just seen Lin Su on a livestream today, and upon comparison, the two figures matched perfectly.

Ah, this...

What a coincidence?

The video just happened to play to the scene where the juvenile-class Xue Henqing defeated the Green Feathered Eagle by stepping through the air. Gu Shumo turned her head to her own pet, which was intently watching the screen, "Snowball, what else do you have to say? Even a juvenile-class can do it! And both of you are Xue Henqing! So much for the race excuse, right?"

"Meow! Meow! (≖ω≖)" ("Damn! I'm going to practice right now!")

Seemingly stimulated by the Xue Henqing in the video, Snowball stormed off towards the smart training room.

Gu Shumo couldn't help but smile and lean on her hand, paused the video, and pointed with her finger at the boy in the video holding the injured Xue Henqing.

They were all from Mountain City University, so maybe there would be a chance to meet in the future…

...

"Qiuqiu, eat this!" Lin Su tiptoed with a pleased smile, reaching for a delicacy Qiuqiu couldn't reach.

While everyone was whispering and getting to know each other, he and Qiuqiu, one man and his pet, sat at a corner table enjoying their meal.

After all, they had come to enjoy a big meal, and since he hadn't eaten much good food at noon, he was really hungry now.

After Qiuqiu chewed the food handed by Lin Su and swallowed it, its eyes sparkled.

"Meow! Meow! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ" ("This is delicious! Lin Su, you eat too!")

"Sure." Lin Su nodded his head, about to grab another portion when a voice suddenly arose nearby.

"Lin Su."

"Huh?" Lin Su turned his head, and then paused his eating to remove a pair of disposable gloves, "Senior Zhang? I haven't congratulated you on your beast's evolution yet."

"It's nothing to congratulate." Zhang Xuyang gave a wry smile, he might have been proud if Lin Su hadn't showcased his research achievements, but compared to Lin Su's success, even obtaining a Monarch species didn't feel like much of an achievement anymore, "I'm far behind you."

"It's already very impressive, there are almost no Beast Tamers at the Elite level who have a Monarch species." Lin Su earnestly nodded his head.

"Alright." Zhang Xuyang's gaze turned towards a nearby Xue Henqing, "I see you're saying, you're going to research the evolutionary path of Xue Henqing next?"

"Yeah, my pet also learned 'Deep Sleep and Dream', so I might just let it try if it can evolve through this technique." Lin Su explained according to the excuse he had prepared earlier, then became curious, "How did you know I was going to research the evolutionary path of Xue Henqing?"

He was still planning to write the project application tonight, how could people already know?

"Don't you know?" Zhang Xuyang's expression was a bit peculiar, "You made the news."

"Huh?"

As Lin Su stared at the news report Zhang Xuyang opened, titled "Eighteen-year-old boy develops Spirit series evolution technique, next may attempt to conquer the challenging evolution of Xue Henqing," he fell into thought.

Pretty sudden...
