Chapter 1538 Senior Researcher
What? There's not even a description of the alien pet, and the location is the entire eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star. How is she supposed to find it? Qiao Sang had a bad feeling and asked, "Is there no other information about the alien pet?"
Felix said, "This alien pet has the ability to transform; it can freely change into the appearance of other pets, or even humans."
Qiao Sang: "."
Good grief, although there's one more piece of information, the difficulty has increased, directly reaching hell level.
"The search area is too large, and there's not even a specific shape. How am I supposed to find it?" Qiao Sang couldn't help but say.
Felix laughed and said, "You are the youngest S-class Beastmaster in history, yet you don't even have the confidence to find an alien pet within a year?"
"Really, no. I'm fine with battling, but finding a pet in the eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star that doesn't even know what it looks like and can change its appearance in various ways... even Teacher Michaela probably couldn't find one." Qiao Sang thought to himself, then after a moment's thought, said:
"I'm from Blue Star, and I'm not very familiar with many of the pet beasts on Tianyuan Star, and besides..."
Before he could finish speaking, Felix interrupted:
“I have a lot of confidence in you, and you should have more confidence in yourself too. Although the appearance of the alien pet is unknown, as long as we use the most advanced pet identification device to identify it, we can know that its information has not been recorded in the Beast Taming Alliance.”
Logically speaking, as an examiner, all you need to do is issue the task; how to complete it and whether you can complete it are the candidate's business and have nothing to do with you.
However, the person in front of him was too special. Such a young S-class beast tamer not only contracted with Xia Lala, but also cultivated an endangered pet beast to break through the upper limit of its species. This was unheard of. If such a talent joined the Beast Taming Alliance in the future, his future would be limitless. This made him feel that he had to give him a few words of advice.
Is it necessary to identify every single pet beast in the eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star, even down to the alien pet beast that can change its human appearance? Qiao Sang sighed heavily inwardly, deeply realizing the arduousness of the task, but outwardly nodded and said:
"I understand."
Now that the mission has been issued, there's no point in saying anything more. All we can do is try our best to complete it. If we fail, we can always wait until this time next year to try a different mission. Anyway, we're still young, and we have plenty of time to take the S-rank professional beast tamer exam.
Thinking this way, Qiao Sang felt much more relaxed.
“Any other questions?” Felix asked.
“That’s all,” Qiao Sang said, shaking her head.
Felix looked at his mechanical pet, about to tell it to leave, but then he remembered something, looked back at Josang, and said in a friendly voice:
"Examiners and candidates are not allowed to contact each other privately. After your assessment is over and you officially become an S-level professional beast tamer, we can get to know each other properly. If you have any questions then, you can come to me."
"I'm afraid that by the time the assessment is over, I won't be able to become a formal S-rank professional beast tamer," Qiao Sang thought to herself, but on the surface, she appeared flattered and nodded, saying:
"Okay, I will definitely try my best to complete the assessment."
After giving Felix a "I believe you" smile, he looked at his mechanical pet and said, "Let's go back."
The bipedal mechanical pet's eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared from the spot with its group of figures.
Ten minutes later.
Ice Country, Hotel.
Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air in the living room. She immediately sat down on the sofa, slumped down, and sighed.
"Teeth?"
Ya Bao barked, as if to say, "What's wrong?"
"Looking around~"
Before Qiao Sang could answer, Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating that his beast tamer must think the assessment task was too difficult.
"Teeth?"
Ya Bao looked puzzled and barked, as if to say, "Is it really that hard to find an alien pet?"
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter exclaimed, indicating that it was indeed difficult. They didn't even know what the pet beast looked like, and they would have to search across the vast area of the eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star.
"Teeth?"
Ya Bao tilted its head and called out.
Is the Eastern Hemisphere very large?
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter gestured the shape of a ball, then sliced it in half with its paw, pointed to one half and cried out.
"Teeth."
After looking at it, Ya Bao exclaimed, indicating that it wasn't very big.
Little Treasure Hunter: "."
"Steel rights?"
Gangbao called out from the side, asking, "Do you think China is big?"
"Teeth."
Ya Bao thought about it for a moment, nodded, and called out.
Big.
"Steel Power".
Gangbao exclaimed, "The eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star should be a hundred times larger than that of the Dragon Kingdom."
"Teeth!"
Upon hearing this, Ya Bao's eyes widened in shock.
So big!
"Looking around~"
"Steel Power".
Little Treasure Hunter and Steel Treasure nodded at the same time.
"Teeth!"
Ya Bao pondered for two seconds, then exclaimed optimistically, indicating that it wasn't difficult, since they had a year to complete the task.
Let alone a year, just considering that alien pet's ability to change its appearance at any time, even if I had two years, I might not be able to find it. Qiao Sang sighed heavily in her heart.
"Xia Xia."
At this moment, Xia Bao emitted a fresh fragrance and sweetly called out, indicating that there was no need to worry, as it could get the flowers and plants to help it search.
Should we ask the plants to help us search? A thought struck Qiao Sang, who immediately sat up.
If you could get the plants and flowers of each city to help you search for alien pets, the efficiency of finding alien pets would definitely be greatly improved!
"Qingqing."
Qingbao also called out, indicating that it could ask the wind to help with the search.
Qingbao Qiaosang looked at it, her heart stirred again, and a look of gratitude appeared on her face.
The wind is everywhere; if the wind could help in the search, the chances of finding it would certainly increase significantly. Just as he was feeling moved, Tingbao rationally called out twice:
"Tingting".
"Tingting".
However, that alien pet can change its appearance in various ways, and can even turn into a human. Even if it passes by its own beast tamer, the beast tamer may not be able to recognize it. How could a plant with no intelligence like it possibly recognize it?
Qiao Sang: "."
"Qingqing."
Qingbao gave him an expression that said, "What you said makes sense."
It recalled how it had once sent the wind to search for solar crystals, only to find counterfeit ones.
“While the plants and wind are as you described, they can still help us quickly pinpoint suspicious targets,” Jossan said, “greatly increasing our chances of finding them.”
"Xia Xia?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Bao perked up and exclaimed, "Do we need to find it now?"
Qiao Sang opened her mouth, about to speak.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated.
She took out her phone, and the caller ID showed: Dr. Jiang.
Dr. Jiang? Qiao Sang was taken aback.
Dr. Jiang from the Mizuroyana Conservation Center in the Kogure region? Why would he call?
Qiao Sang answered the phone and put it to her ear.
"Hello, is this Qiao Sang?" A voice that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar came from the speaker.
“It’s me.” Qiao Sang asked, “Why did you suddenly call me? Is there something you need?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, as if someone was organizing their thoughts. After two seconds, Dr. Jiang's voice came through:
“I just received news that an Ice Saint Ape has broken through the racial limit and evolved to the Emperor level. Its race is called Ice Luo Di Miao, and it has been registered with the Beast Taming Alliance. I only know of two Ice Saint Apes so far. One is in our Water Luyana Protection Center, and the other is with you. I want to know if this Ice Saint Ape that broke through the racial limit is your Ice Saint Ape.”
Qiao Sang glanced at Lu Bao and said in surprise, "It's my Lu Bao. Did you receive the news so quickly? I just registered Lu Bao's information at the Beast Taming Center."
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, but you could hear the other person's breathing become heavier.
A few seconds later, Dr. Jiang exclaimed excitedly:
"My God! How did you do that! Our protection center has been researching the Ice Saint Aja's breakthrough of the racial limit, but we haven't made any progress. Even I always thought that the Ice Saint Aja was the limit of the Water Luana race! I never expected that you would give me, and give our Water Luana Protection Center, such a big surprise!"
At this point, he eagerly asked, "How exactly did you manage to evolve Ice Saint Asia?"
“Actually, I wasn’t by Lu Bao’s side when it broke through the racial limit,” Qiao Sang said.
Dr. Jiang: "Not with Bing Shengya?"
His tone was full of bewilderment and disbelief.
Qiao Sang hummed in agreement and said, "Something happened back then, and I was forced to separate from Lu Bao for a short time. But I know a little about its evolution. At that time, it was in an environment on a glacier."
She went on and on about how Lubo evolved, and finally concluded:
"So I think that for Ice Saint Asia to break through the racial limit, it's not simply about pushing her sadness to the extreme, but about overcoming that emotion and achieving a sudden enlightenment, which leads to evolution."
As Lu Bao's Beastmaster, she also hopes to contribute to the Water Luyana race. The other party has spent most of his life researching and protecting the Water Luyana race. With Dr. Jiang and his team's research, they might be able to discover the correct evolutionary path for Ice Saint Asia.
After listening attentively, Dr. Jiang suddenly realized: "No wonder our research has been so thorough, yet Bing Shengya's energy hasn't fluctuated at all. It turns out that emotional energy still needs to be transformed!"
“This is just my speculation,” Qiao Sang said cautiously.
Dr. Jiang said, "Your speculation should be correct. We have always wanted to make Bing Shengya generate a certain emotional energy to the extreme, and we have also changed different environments, but we never thought that the emotion needed to be transformed. We will continue to study in this direction."
Qiao Sang smiled and said, "I believe you will definitely be able to figure it out."
"We owe this research direction to you," Dr. Jiang said gratefully. "I will submit a report to apply for an upgrade to your researcher rank."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's heart stirred. "Raise the researcher's level."
Although she had no intention of becoming a full-fledged researcher, the researcher status did bring her many benefits, such as the monthly income of over 100,000 Alliance Coins for junior researchers.
"May I?" Josang asked.
“Of course,” Dr. Jiang said. “If researchers don’t advance step by step, with your contribution in helping Bing Shengya break through the racial limit, you can definitely become a senior researcher directly.”
“Senior researcher is too much of an exaggeration,” Qiao Sang quickly said.
“You are qualified.” Dr. Jiang smiled. “Not only Ice Saint Asia, but also Fire Fang Dog and Little Steel Falcon. You have cultivated new forms for them and made their potential reach such a high level. The new form cultivated for Little Steel Falcon even surpassed the original species’ potential. Even senior researchers cannot do these things.”
He paused, then added, "I will first help you raise your researcher level. I will sign your name on the research on Ice Saint Asia breaking through the racial limit. Once the research results are officially released, I will submit them again for you, so that you can officially become a senior researcher."
Senior Researcher Qiao Sang's heart skipped a beat.
It should be noted that even the vice-principal is only a senior researcher.
If we were to further subdivide the levels of researchers, it would start from level F, which represents trainee researchers. Levels E and D represent junior researchers, while levels C and B represent intermediate researchers. Senior researchers are at the level of level A, and only those who have made numerous significant research achievements can become senior researchers.
Junior researchers earn over 100,000 Alliance Coins per month, but it's unclear how many senior researchers earn per month.
Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts and said seriously, "I will definitely cooperate fully with Bing Shengya's research on breaking through the racial limits!"
"Great! The research on Ice Saint Asia breaking through the racial limit depends on you!" Dr. Jiang asked excitedly, "When are you going back to Blue Star?"
Qiao Sang paused for two seconds, then said, "I'm not sure yet, but it will take at least another year."
“It’s alright, it’s alright.” Dr. Jiang quickly said, “If you can’t come over, I can go over from here. I want to see Icelodimu in person and learn about its relevant data.”
“Then I’ll wait for you on Tianyuan Star.” Qiao Sang did not refuse.
On one hand, she understood Dr. Jiang's desire to see the Water Lucia Nadi-level form; on the other hand, by understanding the data as soon as possible and conducting research back at home, she might be able to become a senior researcher sooner.
"I'll buy a ticket right now and come over. Wait for me!" Dr. Jiang said, quickly hanging up the phone, looking eager to buy a ticket and come over.
Senior researcher Qiao Sang put down his phone, in a great mood.
I never imagined that one day I would become a senior researcher like the vice principal.
In a flash of thought, she suddenly remembered something, looked around, and seeing no sign of Teacher Michaela, looked towards a spot less than a meter away from Lu Bao and asked:
"Where is Teacher Michaela?"
Wherever his gaze fell, Jiu Bugu appeared and called out:
"Investigate further."
She's not here. She left shortly after you, and hasn't returned yet. (End of Chapter)
