Chapter 66 Dragon Tamer!
Chapter 66 Dragon Tamer!
Principal's Office.
Looking at the researchers from Jianghuai University arguing endlessly in front of him, the president was at a loss for words.
"Alright, stop arguing."
The principal took out a document from his drawer, which read "Analysis, Practice and Demonstration of the Possibility of Green Velvet Worms Transforming into Dragons".
"Dr. Niu sent over this research topic a long time ago."
Upon hearing this, the researchers in the office were all taken aback.
They were researchers who went to the principal's office to apply for a research project after they learned that Yun Che and Kong Kong had passed the eighth level and that the green velvet worm was actually a dragon.
These people are all valuable faculty members of Jianghuai University, and they have also made contributions to the field of extraordinary biological research to varying degrees.
However, compared to Dr. Niu, one of the most outstanding authorities in the field of biological research, they are still quite inferior.
In fact, several of them could be considered students of Dr. Niu.
Someone stepped forward, flipped through the documents, and glanced at them briefly. They discovered that the initiator of this project was Dr. Niu, but the main researcher was none other than the freshman, Yun Che!
but...
With a top-tier PhD as their endorsement, they can't compete with them even if they want to.
Moreover, Dr. Niu had already applied.
"Alright, alright, everyone, go home," one of the researchers waved his hand and said.
"Everyone," the principal said, "due to certain considerations, please do not announce the matter of the Green Velvet Worm transforming into a dragon for the time being. I will also inform the others."
"Principal, we understand."
It is not advisable to announce research findings prematurely before they yield concrete results.
The number of people who can watch the live stream of the Jianghuai Tower challenge is limited, and they are all trusted senior officials of the school.
They're not the type to gossip, so why would they want to spread it around?
While it's rare for a green velvet worm to transform into a dragon, those who study supernatural beings have seen all sorts of strange things.
After everyone had left, the principal took out his phone and said, "Old Liu, I've managed to keep this a secret for you."
"Thank you, Principal." Old Liu's voice came from the phone.
"Seriously, what's the point of hiding this? And how long can we keep it a secret?"
"Principal, this is a form of protection! You wouldn't want your freshmen to be poached by other companies so soon after enrollment, would you?"
The principal chuckled.
"Fine, fine, I know you have your own plans."
With Dr. Niu protecting you, plus you, Liu Yuanqi, there aren't many people who can be persuaded to do so, are there?
...
"It's out! The first place winner is out!"
Outside Jianghuai Tower, Sun Yifan shouted excitedly.
Yun Che was startled when he saw the people outside Jianghuai Tower.
Why are there even more people than during the last entrance exam?
And...first place?
I knew I checked the time; logically, it should have taken longer than the first-place Jiang Yubai.
But when he looked at the big screen at the entrance, he found that he was tied for first place with Jiang Yubai!
Although he took longer, his score was more than one level higher than Jiang Yubai's.
Why does Twelve have such a high opinion of himself?
By the way, how many academic credits does the top-ranked person on the list get...?
"Chirp~" The weak Kongkong in his arms raised its eyebrows triumphantly at Yun Che.
He must have been completely defeated by me, Master Kong!
"It really is a green velvet worm!"
"Are green molluscs really that brave? My uncle's family owns a silk factory for green molluscs; I'll go look for one this weekend!"
"It's not Green Velvet Warrior who's brave, it's Warrior who was trained by Yun Che. You need to get the order right."
Many people come to Jianghuai Tower to confirm whether Yun Che's pet beast is indeed the Green Velvet Worm.
After seeing that the list was empty, they confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it.
But that makes it even more surprising.
Can green velvet worms really be cultivated to be that strong?
Before Yun Che could even leave the crowd, he bumped into two people.
One was Coach Lu Zheng, and the other was a middle-aged man with a stubble beard, messy hair, and a strong smell of alcohol.
Old Liu.
"Yun Che," Lu Zheng said with a smile, blocking his path, "would you mind having a chat for a bit?"
Yun Che glanced at the growing crowd around him, then at the wounded Kong Kong in his arms, and said helplessly:
"Coach Lu, could you please let me treat my pet's injuries first?"
Before Lu Zheng could speak, Old Liu said, "Okay, let's go to the infirmary."
The tone was firm but not overbearing; it was more like the speaker didn't want to waste time.
Yun Che paused for a moment, then nodded.
...
School clinic.
This was Yun Che's first time visiting the school's infirmary.
Although it's called a medical room, the medical room at Jianghuai University, this beast-taming school, is quite well-equipped, almost comparable to a small hospital.
Moreover, it can heal both the beast tamer and the pet when they are injured.
As for the treatment methods, they mainly utilize the abilities of the pets.
As the department most prone to pet injuries on campus, the school team not only has a dedicated medical room but also a specially equipped veterinarian.
"Dr. Ma, this child's pet animal is a little injured," said Lu Zheng, the instructor, to an elderly doctor who looked to be around sixty or seventy years old.
The old doctor, known as Dr. Ma, was already used to this.
However, he still looked at Lao Liu with some surprise.
Lu Zheng is one thing.
He usually handles most of the big and small matters within the school team.
Even Liu Yuanqi, the head coach of the school team, came today, just for a student's pet animal.
This kid seems to be highly regarded by the school team.
"Let me see," Dr. Ma said.
Yun Che quickly took Kong Kong from his arms.
"Chirp~(。・o・。)ノ" Kongkong waved its paw.
Actually, the little guy is in pretty good spirits.
"It's a minor issue." Dr. Ma nodded, picked up his pen, and tapped the bamboo tube on the table that resembled a pen holder.
clatter--
Followed by.
The bamboo tube slowly floated up, revealing a pair of eyes and hands. It stretched lazily, yawned, and then looked into the void.
"Chirp~" Kongkong was quite surprised that the bamboo tube was actually a living thing.
Nihao~
Da-da-da
The bamboo-like pet gently tapped its body, producing a crisp sound.
A barely visible ripple suddenly spread outwards from it.
Ripples swept across the empty space, and the little guy comfortably squinted his eyes and whimpered:
"Chirp..(๑ᵕ⌓ᵕ̤)"
She fell asleep quickly.
And its injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"alright."
After the treatment ended, the three walked out of the medical room. Lu Zheng smiled and said:
"Dr. Ma is an extremely skilled physician. Even the First Hospital of Beijing couldn't persuade him to come. He is now our school team's full-time physician. If you encounter any problems with your pets' injuries or illnesses in the future, you can consult him."
Yun Che understood the meaning behind his words.
To showcase the school team's medical expertise.
"Thank you, Coach Lu, thank you..." Yun Che looked at Lao Liu.
This teacher looks somewhat unkempt.
"My name is Liu Yuanqi, the head coach of the school team, and the mentor of Ivory."
"So you're Senior Sister Ivory's mentor!" Yun Che was somewhat surprised, then added, "Thank you, Instructor Liu."
Liu Yuanqi nodded. "This green velvet...this pet beast of yours, is it a dragon? Or is it transforming into a dragon?"
As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, glanced at the surroundings of the infirmary, and then put it back in his pocket.
Seeing that Yun Che was about to speak, he reached out and stopped him, saying, "Some teachers in the school with the authority can see what's going on inside Jianghuai Tower, so I'm sure you know what's going on."
really.
Yun Che thought to himself.
However, Dr. Niu told him that he had already spoken with the school's higher-ups and made it clear that nothing would happen.
Even a brilliant scientist once said that some things are worth fighting for.
If he doesn't compete and doesn't demonstrate his abilities, who will give him preferential treatment in terms of resources?
Based on his earning power alone, he might be able to use the system to support KongKuai and the others.
What's next?
What if there's greater demand and more pets?
"I've spoken to the principal about this, and no one at the school will bring it up until you decide not to make it public," Liu Yuanqi added.
These words made Yun Che feel the sincerity of Liu Yuanqi and the others.
"Actually, Lao Lu will explain the specifics of the school team, what resources and benefits you can get, and what you need to do in detail later. He knows more about this."
Liu Yuanqi smacked his lips, seemingly feeling a bit stifled since he hadn't been able to get a cigarette.
"I only have two points to make with you."
He held up one finger. "First, you and your pet have good potential, but not enough strength, so you can only be placed in the reserve group for now."
"Tsk." Lu Zheng rolled his eyes at Liu Yuanqi, annoyed.
In situations like this, can't you at least offer some "tempting" conditions first? What if you scare people away?
However, the reason why Lu Zheng was not so enthusiastic about Yun Che breaking into the top ten was precisely because of this.
At the same time, Lu Zheng also knew Liu Yuanqi's temperament.
Despite his usual carefree attitude, he can be quite rigid when it comes to matters of principle.
But it is precisely because of this that the school leaders are at ease entrusting the school team to such an unkempt person.
"Second point."
Liu Yuanqi raised his second finger.
"I am a dragon trainer and can personally guide you and your pet to better 'transform into dragons'."
A dragon tamer?!
Yun Che's eyes widened.
Beast tamers who specialize in raising and breeding dragon-type pets like to call themselves "dragon tamers".
It's somewhat like the dragon riders of the dragon-riding race in the elven world...
Could this Coach Liu Yuanqi also possess many extraordinary beings with flying attributes?
