Chapter 4 Are you a serious mushroom?
"Your mushroom... shouldn't be poisonous, right?" Zhou Lu said hesitantly, looking at the mushroom in Wu Xiaoqing's hand.
He has suffered losses at the hands of Wu Xiaoqing.
"It's okay! It's okay!" Wu Xiaoqing assured, patting the turbulent waves. "Although it was a Class A poison at the first level, I have gone through sufficient testing after it evolved. During the animal experiment, No signs of poisoning.”
“……”
When Zhou Lu was silent, Xiao Xi had already come over.
She looked at the mushroom in Wu Xiaoqing's hand curiously and asked: "Is this the kind of mushroom you applied for?"
"Yes, it was specially prepared for exploring the secret realm of S2933. ”
The secret realm of S2933 is the latest secret realm of spiritual beasts discovered by humans. I heard that it is a boundless desert. So far, the exploration team has not been able to successfully cross the desert in front of them.
As Wu Xiaoqing spoke, she began to proudly talk about the advantages of the mushroom in her hand.
"Even if it is digested and excreted, its undigested parts can still grow again in extremely harsh environments." Wu Xiaoqing said proudly, "In a sense, this is an infinitely regenerative food!"
Once such food is born, Wu Xiaoqing will definitely become a saint in this world!
"Come on, come on!" When she thought of this, Wu Xiaoqing's interest became even higher. She took out a bunch of seasonings and placed them in front of Zhou Lu, "Hurry up and help me make a stir-fried mushroom!"
Although Wu Xiaoqing is a woman living alone, her cooking skills are hard to describe compared to her trolling skills. At least she left a very deep impression on Zhou Lu.
Zhou Lu looked at the mushroom in his hand. It was worthy of the definition of a second-level spiritual beast. Even if it was picked and separated from the wood attached to it, the mushroom on the plate still twisted its body very stubbornly.
Is this mushroom really serious?
Zhou Lu was a little afraid of whether the mushroom would fight back if he stabbed it down.
This damn thing is a second-level spirit beast!
But Wu Xiaoqing on the side repeatedly assured that there was absolutely no problem.
Zhou Lu had no choice but to believe in this tolerant elder sister.
The production process was smoother than Zhou Lu imagined.
During the production process, Zhou Lu wanted to complain countless times. Is it really appropriate to use experimental equipment to make dishes in a laboratory?
"Don't worry, Xiao Lu!" Wu Xiaoqing said with a thumbs up, "Cooking in the laboratory is also something that the Breeding School has to taste."
Breeding Discipline It is divided into combat breeding and livelihood breeding.
The former specializes in cultivating suitable combat beasts, and studying the evolutionary routes and specific evolutionary routes of spiritual beasts is their best subject.
People's livelihood breeding focuses more on developing the application scope of spiritual animals in people's livelihood fields, such as transportation, transportation, energy, medical treatment, and naturally also includes food.
Wu Xiaoqing is a graduate student majoring in livelihood breeding.
However, Zhou Lu doubted her professionalism.
I have to admit that Wu Xiaoqing's results this time are impeccable, at least in terms of the appearance of the finished dish.
The fried mushrooms are crystal clear and even faintly glowing.
The enticing smell quickly spread throughout the laboratory with the rising heat.
“It looks delicious at first glance!” Wu Xiaoqing moved her index finger and patted Zhou Lu’s shoulder happily, “It’s not in vain that I snatched the chili pepper from the senior.”
"Ah? Rob..."
"Of course. Recently, their flying jade bees have been disappearing frequently. They even suspected that it was me, and they didn't give me a chance to get close to their vegetable fields." At this point , Wu Xiaoqing was still very angry.
However, the delicious food in front of her soothed Wu Xiaoqing's mood, and she couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks.
"Sister Xiaoqing, not yet..."
Before Zhou Lu finished speaking, he saw Wu Xiaoqing taking a delicious bite.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Lu asked cautiously.
"It's okay!"
The next second, Wu Xiaoqing fell on the table.
Xiao Xi saw Wu Xiaoqing's look and asked in surprise: "Is it so delicious?"
Is this a sign of delicious food?
"It's a pity that I didn't burst into clothes." Xiao Xi said disappointedly. "Now is not the time to care about this!" Zhou Lu pointed at Wu Xiaoqing and said, "She has mushrooms all over her body!"
Wu Xiaoqing's body is covered with beautiful white mushrooms. It's growing like crazy.
It's over, my future guide will probably hate this - because of eating mushrooms indiscriminately.
Just when Zhou Lu was desperate, a card flew out of Wu Xiaoqing's body. Then the card was released, and a giant toad with a strange appearance appeared in the laboratory.
This is Wu Xiaoqing’s initial spirit beast: the Curse Frog.
The Curse Frog skillfully stuck out his tongue, rolled up Wu Xiaoqing on the ground, swallowed it into his mouth, and then chewed it.
At this moment, the sound of the system sounded in Zhou Lu's ears.
【bite! Mission failed. 】
【You almost killed Wu Xiaoqing, but failed at the last moment. 】
[Although the mission failed, your decisiveness and bravery are worthy of praise. 】
[You have received 90% of the task reward, please check it]
[The system has reset the task, please try again. 】
While Zhou Lu was confused, the curse frog had already completed its work.
Opening his mouth, the wet Wu Xiaoqing rolled to the ground with transparent mucus, and rolled to Zhou Lu's feet.
“嘤~”
Wu Xiaoqing murmured and opened her eyes.
Zhou Lu silently took a step back: "Are you okay?"
Wu Xiaoqing rubbed her head and sat up: "I just seemed to have seen heaven..."
Shaking her head, she seemed to wake up a little. When she raised her head, she saw Zhou Lu's strange eyes.
Seemingly thinking of something, Wu Xiaoqing smiled at Zhou Lu and said, "Don't worry! My frog is a girl, and I have not been tainted."
TM, I care. It’s not like this at all!
"Yes." As if to convince Zhou Lu, Wu Xiaoqing also produced evidence, "The seniors next door often ask me for frog mucus to verify whether the spirit beasts they cultivate are pregnant. .”
"..." Zhou Lu was completely speechless.
"It seems that the experiment failed." Xiao Xifei came to Wu Xiaoqing and said, "Although it passed the animal experiment, it is very lethal to humans. Well... look at what just happened It seems that even among Class A poisons, it is the top existence. If it weren't for your curse frog, I'm afraid you would be here."
Wu Xiaoqing also sighed, but she was not discouraged: "It doesn't matter, at least except for being poisonous, the other traits are already in line with the requirements."
"Oh, right!" At this point, Wu Xiaoqing seemed to have remembered something and looked at Zhou Ludao, "You should be prepared Have you passed the exam? "
Unlike Wu Xiaoqing's breeding department, Zhou Lu studied in the combat department of Xin'an Beast Control Academy.
There are only two future employment directions for beast control students in the combat department.
One is the competition direction, using the spirit beasts you have cultivated to fight other beast masters to gain competition bonuses and fame.
The other is the adventure direction, which mainly involves taking the spirit beasts you have cultivated to the secret realm to explore places that humans have never explored before, and obtain precious materials and official rewards, which can also be obtained through exploration. The information was traded with the general fairy.
The former is safe, stable, and easy to become famous, becoming a big star that attracts everyone's attention, while the latter is very dangerous. Even in the secret realm opened by the pioneering army, you will lose your life if you are not careful, and the income is also very unstable. Therefore, many combat students now prefer to pursue competition.
If it weren’t for this system, Zhou Lu would probably have chosen the former.
Of course, since his initial spiritual beast was a plant, he naturally didn't expect to be able to perform well in the competition. He just wanted to compete in a few casual games, then retire and go to a remote town to become a beast control teacher. Relying on the insurance compensation from his father's accidental death, he was able to live his life smoothly.
"Num! This is for you." After getting a positive reply from Zhou Lu, Wu Xiaoqing did some operations on her mobile phone.
Zhou Lu's cell phone vibrated. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was Wu Xiaoqing who had transferred a few fairy coins to him.
Fairy coins, a currency obtained from transactions with general fairies, can be used to purchase skills and knowledge they know from general fairies, and can also be used in transactions with beast masters. It is an extremely valuable resource.
“Take these and buy some skills.” Wu Xiaoqing said with a smile, “The exam is very difficult.”
Newcomer, new book, please read it! This is really important to me!
