Did You Put on Makeup? This Meowth Wants to Go Home!
"That's definitely possible, and I also suggest you choose them yourself." Chen Xuanbai nodded. "When selecting the first batch of research subjects, first impressions are very important, and a control group should be established from the beginning."
"I'll apply for the relevant procedures tonight. I estimate it should be approved in two or three days. Today is Wednesday, so we can go together on Saturday."
"You've spent the whole afternoon looking at topics and case studies, go home and get some rest. I'll handle the process."
As Chen Xuanbai spoke, he carefully put away the other documents.
"Thank you, teacher." Lin Yuan looked at Chen Xuanbai looked exhausted but whose eyes were full of light, and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
He was genuinely grateful.
Whether it was his teachings over the past year, the [Spirit-Nourishing Fruit] before the awakening ceremony, or even organizing so many materials and choosing topics for him despite his exhaustion, it all contributed to his success.
But there's no need to say much about gratitude. Achieving results in scientific research is the greatest way to repay your mentor.
On his way home, Lin Yuan took the familiar bus again.
The 40-minute commute from school to home is already a bit too long for Lin Yuan, who is busy these days.
However, this situation should change in the near future.
There are two faster ways.
First, rent specific mounts/pets: [Wind-Seeking Horse], [Wind Ostrich], and [Wind-Chasing Crane].
However, he needs to obtain a [Beast-Driving License], and depending on the type of pet, different license categories are required; otherwise, he cannot drive on the road.
Second, he pilots his own pet beast.
In this situation, in addition to the [Beast-Driving License], the pet also needs to pass a [Road Permit] test, which can generally be taken after becoming Two-Star Beast Tamer.
Liu Xing passed the exam some time ago.
The pet riding route is separate from the public transport route. Looking out the window, the pets you can see right now are still the diligent [Courier Bird] flying along their fixed routes.
At that moment, a notification sound rang on my phone.
It was Liu Xing. Lin Yuan had sent the message half an hour ago, and he was only now replying. Ever since Lin Yuan recommended the novel to him, Liu Xing hadn't been able to reply instantly anymore.
Lin Yuan smiled unconsciously as he read Liu Xing's message.
[Lin Yuan! Lin Shen! How do you know me so well! How do you know I've completely lost interest in my current topic?]
["On the Influence of Music on Different Types of Pets—An Experimental Analysis Based on the Kodal Index", Kodal my foot, I've been completely absorbed in studying this theory these past few days.]
[This forces me to read an extra three hours of novels every day in order to balance work and rest before I can continue my research.]
But your question is different!
[The novel I just read mentioned, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening," which perfectly describes my current situation! Let's change the topic now!]
[However, looking at your cases, I also feel that Zizi seems to be acting a bit strangely lately.]
[I accidentally fell asleep next to my novel yesterday. When I woke up, my face felt refreshed, and after looking in the mirror, I felt even more handsome!]
[The housekeeper even asked if I was wearing makeup. Are you kidding me?]
[You know, Zizi... when it dreams, does it think about how handsome I am? Hehe, I knew it! I've fed it so much good food and drink, it should have some affection for me by now.]
[Yes, I'll coordinate with Teacher Chen in the next couple of days, and I'll buy another twenty "Illusion Dream Butterfly" as a control group.]
[I, Liu Xing, am destined to become the Butterfly King!]
[Alright, I'm going back to studying now. See you this weekend! When you bring the "Spirit Dew" over, take a look at Jinjin and Zizi too; I've fattened them up nicely.]
I also have a little surprise for you!
Lin Yuan looked at this string of childish remarks and wondered how many strange novels Liu Xing had been reading these past few days.
Tell him to find inspiration in novels, but that's not the kind of thing he should be looking for!
However, Lin Yuan did notice the comments about him "becoming more handsome." Liu Xing's words might not be believable, but if even his butler thought he was wearing makeup, then it was probably true.
So, Zizi's dream... combined with her obsession with appearances.
It might actually produce this strange effect.
This made Lin Yuan very curious: if Liu Xing continued to raise Zizi using his unique method, what exactly would Zizi's Hidden Evolution Path be?
As for whether he has really become more handsome...
Lin Yuan decided not to comment.
After thinking for a moment, he typed on the screen:
The proverb "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening" is not used in this way.
See you this weekend.
Two days later.
These past two days, Lin Yuan has been following his plans and arrangements, and everything has gone smoothly.
The school's curriculum continues, and both [Beast Tamer Resources] and [Beast Tamer Practical Exam] are currently in the initial theoretical construction stage.
He didn't neglect either of the two Spells, and even stored up several more strands of purple qi.
In addition, as agreed, he went to Huang Tao's house yesterday to check on the current situation of [Fortune Dog].
After Fortune Attraction lowered its guard against Lin Yuan, it became increasingly close to him, and even stopped barking when Lin Yuan used the [Purple Spirit Eye Art].
It still does not meet the conditions for complete evolution.
Although the knot in his heart that had been hidden for more than a decade has been untied, the pent-up depression cannot be completely dissipated in just a few days.
The good news is that Lin Yuan learned from Huang Zixuan that Huang Tao is now watching the moon with [Fortune Dog].
Sometimes they would say very softly, and he tried to eavesdrop, but failed.
But if things continue at this pace, perhaps this mental burden will soon be lifted.
In addition, Linghuan's illness should also be cured. It should be completely cured by tomorrow, or at the latest the day after tomorrow.
At that time, Lin Yuan will finally be able to see its two Hidden Evolution Path.
Afternoon.
On the training ground of Puquan Beast-Taming Experimental High School.
"Class, today is our first extracurricular class on [Beast Tamer Practical Exam]," Sun Xingtian said. "A few days ago, I taught you and your pets some basic skills in the classroom."
"Today is the first training session, and the content is battles between pets."
"I already divided you into groups yesterday: offensive pets, defensive pets, and support pets. I have different evaluation criteria for each of you."
"For this lesson, I've assigned ten teaching assistants. They are experienced enough to point out the current weaknesses of your pets and the areas where they need to improve."
"Now, according to your groups, go and get used to the different venues."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan, you and your [Still Spirit Cat] stay here."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He had been looking forward to this outdoor classroom for several days.
Sun Xingtian had originally promised him that he would give Baishi a month of systematic training.
Baishi also knew about this news and had been looking forward to it for several days.
As a result, the first three lessons of [Beast Tamer Practical Exam] were all conducted in the classroom.
Fortunately, Baishi is patient and can endure. Even when learning some theory or practicing some simple movements in class, it follows along completely.
Then, after returning home, I trained intensely.
Now that it can finally train outdoors, it is overjoyed, although on the surface it remains a quiet and obedient kitten.
"Lin Yuan, your White Cat Trait too powerful. If it were to attack those little kids in your class, they probably wouldn't last two scratches before they were crying and screaming."
"I was originally planning to pull a student from an Ordinary class in the senior year and have their pets train with your White Cat."
"But nowadays, high school seniors are facing the pressure of the College Entrance Exam, and their mental resilience is somewhat weak. I'm afraid it will discourage them."
"After much thought, I've decided to use my third pet to train with it briefly. It's only at level 2 Commander, not very strong."
"I'll keep it under control, no major problems," Sun Xingtian said.
"Huh?" Lin Yuan tilted his head, puzzled.
"Meow?" Baishi tilted his head, looking very puzzled.
What? You mean, you want me, Ordinary level 6 cat, to fight against you, a level 2 Commander?!
Isn't that impressive?
Is it not a big problem?
This is a big problem!
I'm done playing, I want to go home!
Although he was roaring with anger inside, Baishi remained calm and composed, appearing completely unperturbed.
Then, Lin Yuan saw the pet beast that Sun Xingtian had summoned.
A leopard nearly two meters long, its body adorned with cloud-like markings, seemingly surrounded by a gentle breeze.
"The Flowing Cloud Wind Leopard also happens to have the 'Heart Frenzy' Trait, and they're both felines. They're quite suitable for teaching your little White Cat." Sun Xingtian smiled.
