October 22nd, Wednesday.

Clear skies.

Donghuang Beast Taming Academy Headquarters.

As Chen Wenhao sneaked in through the back door, stepping on the bell for class, Professor Shen was staring at the Pet Beast guide on the projection screen, spitting as he spoke: "I’ve said many times, the grade of a Pet Beast isn’t fixed. Even a pet beast of ordinary quality has the potential to ascend to Morning Star quality..."

Chen Wenhao, who quietly sat down, took out his textbook, his dark circles noticeable, clearly lacking in spirit.

As he was about to return to Qinling, he had been busy helping the teacher organize various materials and archives, working non-stop throughout the day, while also trying to find time to attend classes.

Busy, busy is good.

"To discover the evolution conditions of a particular pet beast requires hundreds or thousands of attempts as well as a bit of mysticism, and of course, there’s an indispensable condition, Chen Wenhao, what is it?" Professor Shen looked toward Chen Wenhao.

Chen Wenhao quickly stood up and calmly replied: "The observer’s experience and summary."

"Correct." Professor Shen threw the chalk back into the chalk box, clapping his hands to disperse a puff of chalk dust, then said, "Alright, now log onto the Beastmaster Association’s website."

Switching the projection screen to the blue background with a gold-edged website interface, Professor Shen clicked on the [Latest Research Results] section, scrolling the mouse to find content worth discussing.

In today’s extraordinary academic world, new content emerges every day, new knowledge every day.

Only by constantly absorbing this new knowledge can one stay ahead of the current.

But soon, Professor Shen’s eyes were caught by two lines of small text:

[Run Run Duck Evolution from Elite to Commander Quality]

[Steel-headed Ground Rat Evolution from Elite to Commander Quality]

The higher the pet beast’s grade, the more complex the evolution conditions, so discovering evolution conditions for high-quality grades is more challenging.

Students of the research department often joke: To successfully research pet beast grades, the two most important elements are sufficient resources and luck.

With enough resources, one can conduct attempt after attempt.

With good luck, one can find the correct path through attempts.

Hence, there’s an unwritten tradition in the research department that before each attempt, they go to the temple to pray. If successful, it means they have good luck; if they fail, they blame the temple gods for not being supportive enough.

Only the Beastmaster Association and the Beast Taming Academy have enough resources to support researchers in conducting attempt after attempt.

Therefore, Professor Shen looked ahead at all the students in the first research department and asked, "Which two students researched this?"

The large classroom remained silent.

The students’ reaction was not beyond Professor Shen’s expectations. He knew each student’s research topics, and none of them were related to Run Run Duck or Steel-headed Ground Rat.

Moreover, discovering evolution conditions from elite to commander quality, once completed, could preemptively secure a spot as an outstanding graduate.

This kind of major achievement would surely be reported to him first.

Thus, these two evolution conditions were either completed by independent social research institutes or were the results of some company’s research.

"Run Run Duck and Steel-headed Ground Rat..." Chen Wenhao mumbled softly.

He recalled that his brother had just adopted these two types of pet beasts, and it seemed he should inform his brother of this news to prepare in advance for the subsequent evolution of these two creatures.

Suddenly, a girl sitting in the front row raised her right hand and softly said, "Teacher, these seem to be the results of the same researcher."

"Oh?" Professor Shen exclaimed slightly, adjusted his glasses, and glanced down, indeed noticing that the author ID after the two evolution conditions was the same.

Author ID: Chen Yuan.

Professor Shen furrowed his brow, scrounging his mind for any information related to this name, but after a moment he shook his head.

In his impression, no renowned outside research institutions or units had such a person.

"Could this be a newcomer?"

If a newcomer could simultaneously overcome the evolutionary blind spots of two niche pet beasts and provide two evolution conditions, this person would gain recognition throughout the academic world.

"It’s a pity, he’s not an academy student." Professor Shen sighed inwardly.

"Amazing, who is this big shot?" The boy with glasses stared intently at the same author ID, exclaiming in surprise.

"One evolution condition might be due to luck, but two reflect real strength." The girl with twin ponytails clicked her tongue, "How many attempts must it have taken?"

Upon seeing the author’s ID, Chen Wenhao’s pupils shook, and he stood there stunned for a long moment.

His roommate nudged his arm, deeply sighing, "If only I had researched these two evolution conditions, I could graduate directly and even earn the title of an outstanding graduate."

"The dean would have to toast to me!"

Chen Wenhao regained his senses and turned to his roommate, his expression odd: "If I say I know this person..."

His roommate immediately turned to him, eyes sparkling with excitement: "Which research institute’s big shot?"

Seeing Chen Wenhao silent, his roommate gritted his teeth and whispered, "Come on, please tell me."

Chen Wenhao’s eyes focused as he said, "I still need to verify it. If this person has also uploaded the evolution conditions for the Flame Cloud Falcon, then it’s definitely someone I know."

Adhering to scientific rigor, Chen Wenhao did not make absolute statements.

In response, his roommate immediately raised his hand and shouted loudly, "Professor Shen, can you check this person’s personal page?"

"I want to know what else they’ve researched."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Unable to disregard the majority’s interest, and being curious himself, Professor Shen went directly to the author’s personal page, where two lines of information met their eyes:

[Flame Cloud Falcon Normal - Elite]

[Flame Cloud Falcon Elite - Commander]

As a regular user, Professor Shen couldn’t access the author’s personal identity information, but he could see the other evolution conditions uploaded by the author, along with published papers.
