Although System Bro might have bumped his head while rushing between events and ended up with some neurological issues...
The rewards it gave were still incredibly useful and worth looking forward to.
Take the Berry Blender, for instance. Even in the Beast Taming World, it was cutting-edge black technology of the highest order.
It was also an indispensable key tool in Jiang Xing's cultivation of Pet Beasts.
"More importantly, these system products from the Spirit World aren't just useful tools. They also represent an entirely new system."
"If we can crack their technology, replicate them for mass production, and even find ways to improve them..."
"It'll bring a technological revolution to the Beast Taming World!"
"That's the true way to use Pokemon Items!"
Although Jiang Xing did not yet possess the ability to decipher these tools, that did not stop him from looking forward to them and regarding them as the foundation of his future research.
He took out the two newly rewarded items.
The first was a Move Tutor (Outrage). It looked like a red belt, with a silver metal device featuring a slot in the middle, along with a pale red disc.
Judging by its appearance alone, one might have thought it was a transformation device from some neighboring Kamen Rider set.
According to the instructions, as long as the Move Tutor was worn on a Pet Beast, fitted with the corresponding disc, and activated, it could allow the Pet Beast to quickly master the corresponding move.
It was pure black technology that force-fed knowledge directly into one's mind.
Jiang Xing felt that Outrage was a Dragon Attribute move. Perhaps it could replace Dragon Sacrifice Dance and allow the Golden-Veined Koi to quickly master a Dragon Attribute move.
After all, the Yuyus' learning ability was simply too heartbreaking.
The second item was a Power Bracer (Human). It was a black harness that looked much like a hunchback corrector, a BeiBeiJia.
Jiang Xing tried it on, and a wave of pressure immediately descended on him, plunging him into a heavy negative state and making his movements much slower.
Strangely, although he had slowed down, he did not feel tired. Instead, his energy gradually grew more abundant.
"So this is forced training..."
Though Jiang Xing had no plans to become a Beast Tamer, as a researcher, he still had to deal with numerous Pet Beasts—perhaps even more than Beast Tamers did.
After all, Beast Tamers only needed to cultivate a few Pet Beasts and train them continuously.
Researchers, on the other hand, had to study and cultivate all kinds of Pet Beasts without being limited to just a handful.
Therefore, physical fitness was equally useful to him.
"I hope that one day, I'll be able to lift 999 kilograms with one hand too."
Jiang Xing wore the Power Bracer beneath his clothes, then put on a white lab coat over it. Not only did it conceal the item, but it also made him look like a researcher who lacked rest and moved wearily.
After sorting through his gains, the system popped up again.
[A single Gyarados is only the beginning. Only by summarizing the method into a paper and presenting it on a grand stage can you bring the world the true shock of Pokemon Evolutionology!] [Come on, it's time to publish your results and show off before everyone!] [You have received a mission: Participate in an academic conference and publish an academic achievement.] [Reward: Based on the conference's influence, the completeness of the paper, the presentation effect, and other factors, randomly receive one Pokemon Item Blind Box. (The Blind Box's contents are positively correlated with the type of academic achievement.)]
Jiang Xing was not particularly surprised by this system mission.
After all, in the system's imagined "backstory," the Pokemon Pokedex had already recorded 151 species of Pokemon. Gyarados was among them, but no one knew how it evolved.
Simply possessing a Gyarados clearly could not "shock the world."
Only by producing a complete evolution theory could he satisfy the system's need to show off.
The appearance of a follow-up mission had been inevitable.
As for academic conferences...
The Beast Taming World placed great importance on research, and there were countless academic conferences. Evolution, cultivation, resources, tools... There were all kinds, and they were held frequently.
As for the Rainbow Dragon Cub evolution paper, let alone participating in those conferences, it would have no problem serving as the grand finale.
The mission difficulty was zero. Anyone with hands could do it.
"Still, to attend a conference, I'll need a complete academic paper."
"I should finish the project first."
To complete the project, he needed to cultivate more Golden-Veined Koi and obtain more resources.
Jiang Xing drafted an initial version of the paper, brought the Rainbow Dragon Cub with him, and planned to ask his advisor for some funding first.
Before leaving, he also opened his phone and posted a message on social media.
Only then did he leave the laboratory.
Not long after he left, a fluffy pink ball quietly appeared in the laboratory.
It opened a box, saw the fragrant little cubes inside, and blinked.
"Ah-li~"
After Jiang Xing left, his message appeared on social media as well.
"A word of warning in advance—ordinary Golden-Veined Koi are highly likely to be unable to evolve into Rainbow Dragon Cubs. Please do not rush to invest large amounts of resources into cultivating them, lest you suffer losses."
"As for the specific evolution method, I am still researching it. Please wait patiently for the paper to be completed."
"Note: The only Golden-Veined Koi that crossed the Dragon Gate in the online video came from Shuntian Breeding Farm in Yuzhong City. It is a Fish King with a legendary history."
After Jiang Xing published the Beast Taming Compendium entry for the Rainbow Dragon Cub, many Beast Tamers had taken a liking to this True Dragon Pet Beast with both Light Type and Dragon Attribute.
They had already begun seeking out Golden-Veined Koi with outstanding aptitude, planning to cultivate them in advance in preparation for evolving them into Rainbow Dragon Cubs.
When they saw this message, they hurriedly stopped what they were doing.
Buying a Golden-Veined Koi at a high price was not much of a problem.
But if they poured in a massive amount of Dragon Attribute resources, only to discover in the end that it was not qualified to evolve, that would be a truly devastating loss!
A wave of Golden-Veined Koi being sold at exorbitant prices disappeared before it could even begin—
After all, Golden-Veined Koi were very common Ornamental Pet Beasts. Many households kept more than one, and all the major breeding farms had them in stock.
With such large numbers available, even if their prices rose due to their evolution form, they would not rise by much.
Jiang Xing's statement further reduced people's urge to make impulsive purchases.
Their prices quickly returned to their proper levels.
The Beast Tamers even had to thank Jiang Xing. Otherwise, they might very well have lost a huge amount of resources.
Meanwhile, Shuntian Breeding Farm in Yuzhong City also exploded in popularity—
Originally, the Fish King's transformation into a dragon had merely been an amusing anecdote circulating within a small circle.
Now that Jiang Xing had personally promoted it, Shuntian Breeding Farm's popularity surged!
After all, this was the breeding farm that had raised the Fish King and produced the first Rainbow Dragon Cub!
This breeding farm's cultivation techniques had to be exceptional. Even aside from Golden-Veined Koi, the other Pet Beasts there were probably of excellent aptitude as well.
Li Shun had originally been waiting for the incident to gain momentum, but after Jiang Xing posted that message, the breeding farm's popularity immediately exploded.
Seeing the many customers—and even some renowned Beast Tamers—come to choose Pet Beasts, Li Shun's hands trembled with excitement.
What a good junior brother. He hadn't spoiled him for nothing!
