Chapter 191 Where Is the Innocent and Stupid College Student?
When Qiao Bai came back, he saw a little crow that was clinging to him.
Little crow: I refuse pet performances!
I refuse pets to take care of children!
Little crow almost curled up in Qiao Bai's arms.
Ayong and Ayun looked at the little crow with desire, who was nestling in Qiao Bai's arms and letting Qiao Bai touch his fur. The desire was almost revealed in the eyes of the two children.
"Ayong, Ayun, come here." Su Wenyu was also helpless watching from the side.
The two children were at the age of half-grown, and if they were not careful, they would be on the verge of being naughty children. As long as it was not a wild supernatural creature, they dared to touch it and wanted to touch it.
Moreover, the two children knew Qiao Bai, so they were more relaxed when getting along with each other.
And so.
They were rejected by the little crow.
"Haven't you seen big brother's pet before?" Su Wenyu was talking about the two children's previous contact with Qiao Bai on the online forum.
If Su Wenyu were to evaluate, there would be only two words - reckless.
Who knows if the person he met is a good person.
It's not like there are no bad people in this world.
Even if the appointment was on their own territory, the atmosphere and situation in Hongtu City a day ago, if something really happened... Su Wenyu still has lingering fears.
But she still blames herself more.
It was because of her disappearance that the two children took risks and did such unsafe things.
"But the feathers on the big brother's bird have become so handsome!"
"Yeah! It's a circle bigger than before! Even more majestic!"
As Ayun and Ayong talked, their bright eyes that seemed to be glowing never moved away from the little bird.
Su Wenyu paused when she heard this.
Has this bird changed?
Su Wenyu immediately thought of the unconscious Qiao Bai she saw and the pet on him that she couldn't see clearly, but it was indeed... unusual.
Is this the one?
Thinking about it, Su Wenyu's eyes subconsciously fell on Xiao Wu and looked at him carefully.
Qiao Bai noticed Su Wenyu's eyes.
Combined with what Ayong and Ayun said just now, Qiao Bai sighed in his heart, but he was not too embarrassed.
After all.
As early as last night, after seeing Xiao Wu's new appearance, Qiao Bai had certain ideas about this matter.
Xiao Wu's changes must be hidden.
There are more than one or two people who know Xiao Wu.
"Professor Qiao Bai, did your pet evolve in the secret realm?" Su Wenyu thought about it, and still pointed at Xiao Wu and asked curiously.
Then she pursed her lips again, smiled very embarrassedly and said: "Because we were in that dark little black room at that time... I seem to have seen Professor Qiao Bai's pet glowing."
"When did it evolve?"
Su Wenyu did not mention this matter to others, but in front of Qiao Bai, the real owner, she still told what she saw and felt a little abnormal.
Qiao Bai glanced at her and said calmly:
"It's not evolution, Xiao Wu's appearance is already the final form."
"It's just that Xiao Wu hasn't grown up yet, and is still in the growth period. After being exposed to some suitable energy or resources, it began to grow rapidly."
Qiao Bai answered seriously.
No lie is needed.
Growth period.
Appropriate energy and resources.
Continue to grow.
Each item is very consistent with Xiao Wu's real state.
It is this resource that has been exposed...Qiao Bai saw the backpack he brought out from the red earth taboo land by the bed.
Because of Qiao Bai's identity as a pet professor, Jundu and others did not conduct a thorough exploration and questioning of Qiao Bai after rescuing him. After confirming that Qiao Bai was safe, they returned all of Qiao Bai's personal belongings to him.
Neatly placed in the ward.
Just right.
If Su Wenyu hadn't come, Qiao Bai would have asked someone.
He took out the red mineral that had been knocked down from his backpack.
"That's it." Qiao Bai took out a piece of red mineral half the size of his palm and placed it in front of Su Wenyu.
"Actually, I also want to ask, what is this?"
Qiao Bai was really confused without pretending.
What is this?
Red ore? Red rock crystal?
Red stone and red soil are definitely impossible.
Su Wenyu, who thought he was very familiar with the forbidden land of red soil and knew all kinds of resources inside, couldn't help but suddenly become confused after seeing this piece of red mineral.
"Can I... can I pick it up and have a look?" Su Wenyu asked Qiao Bai first.
Thinking about the feeling of replenishing energy when holding the red mineral... Qiao Bai nodded in agreement.
After all, he had to try it.
In Hongtu City, Qiao Bai couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Su Wenyu for the time being.
Because of the relationship between Ayun and Ayong, Qiao Bai and Su Wenyu maintained a harmonious and friendly relationship.
With Qiao Bai's permission, Su Wenyu reached out and picked up this piece of red mineral that he had never seen before, and looked at it over and over again.
Qiao Bai also paid attention to Su Wenyu's expression, not missing any details or the trembling of her eyelashes.
After confirming that Su Wenyu did not show any surprise or astonishment, Qiao Bai was sure that the other party should not feel the energy flowing through the body.
Otherwise, no one would be able to experience this for the first time without showing any strangeness.
Su Wenyu did not feel it.
After repeatedly checking the red mineral in his hand, Su Wenyu shook his head and put it down.
"Indeed... I have never seen it before."
Su Wenyu opened his mobile phone, swiped a few times, opened the album and put it in front of Qiao Bai.
"These photos are the highest quality red ore and red rock crystal I have ever seen."
Turn the page.
"The following are more ordinary red ore and red rock crystal."
As for red stone and red soil, just like Qiao Bai had not considered them, Su Wenyu had not considered them at all.
They are different in form.
Qiao Bai looked down at the photos.
He deeply realized what it meant to not know until you see them, and to be shocked by the comparison.
The red mineral that Qiao Bai took out was so bright and deep that it looked like a ruby. If you didn't tell me, it would be so real that it could be mistaken for a fake.
Of course.
If it was sold as a ruby, it would definitely not be sold at a higher price than a resource.
But the red ore and red rock crystal in the picture...
How to say it?
The red ore and the red mineral that Qiao Bai took out were a little similar, just a little bit.
The biggest difference was transparency.
The red mineral that Qiao Bai took out was very pure and transparent.
You could vaguely see the fingerprints or palm prints underneath when you held it in your hand.
But the red ore was different.
Although it was also red, it was not the bright red of red minerals. It was more like the red color of blood that had dried and solidified over the years.
The texture in your hand was more like rock texture than gem texture.
To be honest.
The red rock crystal looked more like gem texture than the red ore.
But the inside was too turbid, with cotton wool, silk threads, and mottled impurities, which made the red rock crystal look like a low-quality gem.
Qiao Bai touched his chin when he saw this.
"So this is a special resource that has never appeared in the Red Earth Taboo Land before?" Qiao Bai said in an uncertain tone.
Su Wenyu confirmed for him: "Yes."
"I have never seen it before."
Su Wenyu was a slacker in the Red Earth Taboo Land after all, so she was sure of this.
"Did your pet use this energy and then... grow?" Su Wenyu changed the word "evolution" that she almost blurted out to growth.
Qiao Bai nodded without any guilt.
Yes.
That's it.
That's right!
What?
The projection of the three-legged golden crow?
I don't know.
He didn't know anything.
Su Wenyu didn't think much about it. Qiao Bai's explanation sounded reasonable to her.
The only thing that shocked her a little bit was... "Professor Qiao Bai, you are really brave. In that situation, facing a resource that you don't know at all..."
You dare to let your pet use it!
Although it is said that wealth and honor are sought in danger.
But who doesn't want to be safer if they can be safer?
Qiao Bai spread his hands and said helplessly: "I am actually a little worried."
"But I mistook it for red ore or red rock crystal at first, and then Xiao Wu also showed a little desire for it."
Xiao Wu: "!"
Xiao Wu immediately struggled in Qiao Bai's arms.
Wait, wait?
Why let the bird take the blame again?
What does this have to do with the bird?
It obviously has nothing to do with it!
Qiao Bai stretched out his hand and stroked Xiao Wu's back a few times.
Communicate with Xiao Wu in your heart.
Calm down.
Xiao Wu: ╭(╯^╰)╮
Looking at the interaction between Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu, Su Wenyu couldn't help but smile slightly.
If Su Wenyu had a little doubt about Qiao Bai's words before, thinking that Qiao Bai was hiding something, it was just something he didn't want to say.
After seeing the interaction between the man and the bird, it was like a father and a troubled daughter acting like a spoiled child.
Su Wenyu, who has a brother who is not caring and a sister who is sometimes caring and sometimes not, instantly put herself in the situation.
As a beastmaster, Qiao Bai is also very doting on his pet.
Alas.
There is no way.
Everyone is in trouble.
I understand, I understand very much.
"Fortunately, the result is good. Professor Qiao Bai, your pet will be very powerful when it grows up." Su Wenyu said with blessing.
...
Qiao Bai did not deliberately hide the conversation between him and Su Wenyu.
Su Wenyu also guessed Qiao Bai's thoughts from Qiao Bai's answer to every question. She would also answer politely when someone asked her questions, and would refuse when it involved more private issues.
Soon.
Qiao Bai did not need to explain it a second time. The things he encountered in the Red Earth Taboo Land were spread all over in an instant.
Including Xiao Wu's growth.
All were reasonably and perfectly explained.
Through the powerful power of imagination, these people completed the link of self-persuasion.
Qiao Bai shook his head when he saw this.
See.
No need to lie at all, it's done.
It is undeniable that his social status is also a factor in his ease.
"It seems that I still need to study the evolution of pets after returning, and strive to become a first-level researcher as soon as possible." Qiao Bai murmured.
His social status has improved.
Then he can have more fun.
Ahem.
This can't be said.
After staying in the hospital for two days, Qiao Bai was discharged smoothly, and his body was in good condition.
Ning Ruxue and Ms. Hui, as well as the newly appointed president of the Red Earth City Beast Taming Alliance, You Ke, all came to see Qiao Bai.
The former two simply cared about Qiao Bai.
The latter came to trade with Qiao Bai with sincerity.
"Professor Qiao Bai, this red mineral you found in the Red Earth Taboo Land... Can you give us some of it?" You Ke looked at Qiao Bai seriously and said.
After hearing that Qiao Bai had discovered new resources similar to red ore in the Red Earth Secret Realm, You Ke had always wanted to come and see Qiao Bai.
By the way, talk to Qiao Bai about some win-win transactions.
However, because the situation in Hongtu City and Yancheng has just returned to normal, the forbidden land of Hongtu is still under blockade for the time being, and Youke has so much work to do that she has no time to rest.
If she hadn't been accustomed to handling a lot of paperwork, Youke felt that she couldn't hold this position at all.
She also experienced it again.
How happy Shi Kang was to have her as an assistant, and she has not found an assistant that can satisfy her until now.
Youke is already considering whether to dig out a colleague of hers.
The job is quite suitable.
But this is all for the future.
She is more concerned about the resources that Qiao Bai brought out now.
If it is really comparable to red ore or red rock crystal, or even similar to redstone, for Hongtu City, which has just suffered a big blow, it can help them turn around from the current predicament.
After seeing the red minerals brought out by Qiao Bai with her own eyes, Youke's eyes lit up.
Although the energy contained in it has not been tested yet, and the specific use of this resource has not been determined yet.
But Youke dares to say very confidently-good stuff!
This must be a good thing!
Detection?
The warm energy was felt just by touching it.
She couldn't wait to get more.
Qiao Bai: "..."
"I didn't bring much, only a dozen pieces."
"And most of them are relatively small. This one is still big, and I may not be able to provide too much to you, the president."
It's normal to have good things coveted.
But to contribute too much...
Sorry.
Impossible.
It doesn't exist.
Before Youke spoke, Qiao Bai slipped out Xiao Wuti again.
"And my pet can grow rapidly after absorbing the energy inside, so..." There's no need to say the rest.
Youke instantly understood what Qiao Bai meant.
Qiao Bai smiled.
It's not impossible to give a little to Hongtu City. Whether or not to let go depends on how sincere Hongtu City can be.
Exaggerate the value.
Show importance.
Only then can there be a premise for asking for a sky-high price.
Youke: "..."
A light reflected on Youke's glasses.
She looked at Qiao Bai, who was obviously still a teenager, as if her heart was bleeding.
Why?
Why are young people nowadays so cunning?
Where are the innocent and stupid college students?
Oh.
Qiao Bai is not a college student anymore.
Professor Qiao Bai is a member of society.
