In the Heart of Woods’ instrunt laboratory.
"No, this Darkfla Ancient Raven, it doesn’t show any difference at all!?" Ye Zhou squatted in front of an analysis instrunt, looking at the extracted DNA of the Darkfla Ancient Raven. He furrowed his brow, repeating words he had uttered countless tis.
Su Ping glanced at him, toying with his cell phone. "What difference do you expect? For it to transform into another species outright? Have other Pet Beast species changed from birds directly into plants or Elental Types? Ultimately, even if it’s a Pet Beast that has vanished into the mists of history, degenerated, or even gone extinct, it’s still fundantally a Pet Beast."
Ye Zhou felt sowhat vexed, but Su Ping couldn’t be bothered with him anymore. Ever since the third day of the Lunar New Year, this fellow had returned from the Dong Family to the Heart of Woods, preparing to study the Darkfla Ancient Raven carcass from Su Ping’s Beast Taming Space. He had been researching it ever since.
The remains of the other creatures had been buried by Su Ping right in front of Little Crow Ya Ya, laying them to rest peacefully. Only this Darkfla Ancient Raven, after gaining Ya Ya’s consent, served as an experintal subject for his and Ye Zhou’s research on extinct Pet Beasts.
"The thing is, there should be a reason, right? Why would the Darkfla Ancient Raven degenerate into a Fla-Eating Crow? And why would this particular Darkfla Ancient Raven show signs of atavism under these circumstances? Aren’t these all questions needing answers?"
"Exactly. Isn’t that what I told you? So, go find those reasons," Su Ping said with a smile.
Ye Zhou rolled his eyes at this guy and actually began to think deeply. "Say, do you think it’s possible that the number of Darkfla Ancient Ravens was too small, leading to inbreeding, and that’s the cause?"
This ti, it was Su Ping’s turn to roll his eyes at this fellow. How could he even suggest such a thing?
"I don’t know. I don’t have the ti or energy to research that right now. Providing you with so directions should be enough." Although he was indeed very interested in the Fla-Eating Crow’s ancient progenitor, the Three-legged Golden Crow, priorities were priorities, weren’t they?
However, he did have so speculations and ideas. After a pause, he continued, "You could research in the direction of Energy. In my view, the extinction of ancient Pet Beasts was largely due to subtle changes in the Energy on Blue Star, which could no longer sustain the ancient species, thus causing their degeneration!"
At these words, Ye Zhou’s eyes brightened. "That makes sense."
Having made his point, Su Ping shook his head, no longer bothering with this fellow who had rediscovered his purpose and direction. Right now, his most important task was sothing else: to quickly obtain Water Elent Space Characteristics resources to perfect his Beast Taming Space and rapidly advance to the Commander Level. This Elite Level, he couldn’t stand it for another day.
However, Su Ping had searched the Breeder Association, Leng Ye’s connections, and even the Legion, but found no sign of such resources. This left Su Ping quite frustrated. He had even considered using Wood Elent Space Characteristics resources to see if they could neutralize the Fire-type Resources.
However, just as Su Ping was propping his chin, watching Ye Zhou investigate the Energy composition of the Darkfla Ancient Raven, the cell phone he was toying with suddenly rang.
He glanced at it—a strange yet familiar number. Hadn’t it sent him a New Year’s greeting ssage during the festival? He frowned slightly but ultimately answered the call. Knowing his number ant the caller was no ordinary person.
"Hello."
"Hello, is this Breeder Su Ping?"
In the Imperial Capital, hearing the voice on the phone, Huang Tianbing instantly felt his spirits lift.
"Hello, may I ask who is speaking?" Su Ping asked politely.
"Respected Breeder Su Ping, it’s ! We’ve talked for a long ti! Haha, I’m your pen pal~" Huang Tianbing said with a laugh. He believed that with his custor-service-like tone, the other party would surely rember him.
However, Su Ping looked at the phone dubiously and scratched his head.
It’s you? Who are you? We’ve talked for a long ti?
There were only a handful of people in the world with whom he could have had long conversations—let alone soone he didn’t recognize afterward.
So, although the situation was abstract, Su Ping’s first thought was a distinct possibility:
A phone scam? Do those things exist on Blue Star too?
Instantly, Su Ping’s gaze turned ’sharp.’
Hearing no response from the other end, Huang Tianbing cleared his throat lightly and then prompted, "You’ve forgotten? You asked whether the chicken or the egg ca first! We used to chat every day back then."
"???"
A flicker of confusion crossed Su Ping’s eyes.
Soone who could say sothing so ntally questionable didn’t seem like a phone scamr. After all, those scam operations probably wouldn’t let soone with intellectual disabilities participate in fraud, right? But since the person could state his own background, it didn’t seem like a wrong number either.
Su Ping blinked. "Have you, perhaps, misunderstood sothing?"
Hearing the voice on the other end, Huang Tianbing also blinked.
How could there be a misunderstanding? With anyone else, perhaps, but not with this little ancestor, surely? After all, around the ti of the Breeder Competition, he had painstakingly engaged in over five Xiaoshi of intense daily chats with this little ancestor. He, the Chief Supervisor of the Qintian Monitor, had practically beco a dedicated chat companion. And now this guy was denying it?
