My beast can't be a demon.

Fengzhou Third Research Institute.

This is the most famous research institute in Fengzhou and the most authoritative research institute for spirit beasts in the world.

Many new spirit beasts are bred here every year and become popular spirit beasts on the market.

However, although the spirit beasts from these research institutes are powerful, they are often expensive, so ordinary people still prefer to go to the secret realm to find wild spirit beasts for contracts.

Just like there are often countless failed products that fail at various stages behind those newly developed successful drugs, Fengzhou Third Research Institute has a large number of research projects that fail and are terminated every year due to various reasons.

The reason for the failure of many projects is often that the final spirit beast strength is not satisfactory.

Spirit beasts with powerful skills often have huge defects in their natural attributes, and spirit beasts with good attributes often do not have any powerful skills.

However, when the finished product of the project clearly shows the characteristics of failure, the research institute has often invested a huge amount of money in the project.

This part of the loss can often only be spread over all the projects that finally come out successfully, so that many excellent spirit beasts often have to be marked with an expensive price to make up for the cost of failed projects.

Therefore, when the government proposed the failed project subsidy plan, the institute was of course very welcome, and immediately applied to become a pilot unit of this plan.

However, what is slightly different from the institute's idea is that the so-called subsidy does not appear in the form of funds.

The pilot unit needs to hand over the finished product of the failed project to Qiu Daomu's special fairy for review, and then Qiu Daomu will issue fairy coins as subsidies based on the on-site review.

Fairy coins are fairy coins.

After all, it is the hard currency of the beast world, which can be exchanged for cash in various ways.

What's more, as a research institution, the institute also has a hard demand to use fairy coins to exchange knowledge.

It's just...

"Don't you think this special fairy is a bit strange?" Researcher Wu Huifeng looked at the special fairy who was testing the experimental spirit beast of the failed project in the cultivation room, and muttered strangely.

The special fairy sent by Qiu Daomu is completely different from what they imagined.

It does not have the appearance of a cute girl like the common fairy, but looks like a little snail shrinking in a snail shell. But the vines extending out of its shell prove its identity as a plant spirit beast branch.

At this time, this special fairy was fighting fiercely with the experimental spirit beast, and the two sides turned the whole culture room upside down in the fierce battle.

In the end, the plant snail was more skilled and stood arrogantly on the unconscious experimental spirit beast.

Is this a test?

Why does it feel more like a battle?

When the researchers saw this scene, they all showed puzzled expressions.

However, the fairy coins that arrived quickly afterwards quickly dispelled their thoughts.

Except for a few people who still cared about this special fairy, most people began to look for their own projects according to the instructions of their superiors.

Fortunately, many of the failed projects of the research institute have finished products. Considering that these experimental spirit beasts may be helpful to other research projects, many experimental spirit beasts of failed projects will be fed for a period of time after the project is terminated. It is still very easy to find failed projects.

At the same time, in many well-known research institutes in the world, the same scenes are constantly happening.

Huahuo's clones entered these research institutes as special fairies, and then defeated those experimental spirit beasts in the name of testing.

If you don't get the skill, then continue to test a few times until you get the other party's skill.

It has to be said that as some of the world's top research institutes, the experimental spirit beasts produced by their so-called failed projects are sometimes not weak, but they are abandoned by the institute because of major defects.

Among them, the most important reason for the failure of the project is... appearance.

Yes, it is appearance.

Being handsome is a lifelong thing.

As long as the appearance of the cultivated spirit beast is outstanding enough, even if its performance in strength is not satisfactory in the future, there is always a pet option to go.

And appearance is often an important factor in attracting beast masters to consume.

Whether handsome, beautiful, or cute...

The beast masters who consume these experimental research products are often well-off.

The spirit pets they choose are also largely to show their own identity, and appearance is one of the important reference items for them to choose spirit pets.

"But... this is too unfair." Hua Huo said to Zhou Lu, who was sorting out the information about the ancient city of the fairyland, while cleaning the room, "Many of the experimental spirit beasts that fought against me were actually very strong. They were just ugly and didn't even have the opportunity to show their strength, so they were directly banished to the cold palace by the research institute."

"They are quite strong, how strong can they be?" Zhou Lu devoted himself to the information.

The ancient city of the fairyland is a very large and complex city.

That secret realm is almost entirely the ancient city of the fairyland, and this is already larger than the area of ​​many large secret realms.

In the ancient city of the fairyland, there are a large number of immortal artifacts, souls and seals.

The actions of the pioneers in the ancient city of the fairyland are almost a carpet sweep of buildings one by one, because some details you miss can easily become a foreshadowing of your life.

How to prove the complexity of the ancient city of the fairyland?

The last battle of the war to destroy the immortals took place here.

That is to say, the secrets of the ancient city of the fairyland have actually been discovered by humans since the Beast Taming Era. Many founding fathers of the Beast Taming Era spent a long time after that to eradicate the last traces of immortals in the ancient city of the fairyland.

However, until now, the exploration of the ancient city of the fairyland is still less than 40%.

It is really too big.

So big that it makes people a little desperate.

"Just like this!" Just as Zhou Lu was sighing at the hugeness of the ancient city of the fairyland, the vines of the fireworks appeared in front of Zhou Lu.

Along with flowering and fruiting, several fruits appeared in front of Zhou Lu.

This is a skill that the fireworks pulled from the special plant spirit beast in the Curse Frog Pond. As long as one of the fruits is eaten, the attributes of the self can be increased in a short time.

However, the cooling time of this skill is very long, almost close to the entire cycle of flowering and fruiting of the plant. Even with the crazy growth, it will take three or four days to cool down.

However, what surprised Zhou Lu was that although it was a skill that theoretically took a few days to cool down, the fireworks were able to activate it continuously.

"What did you do?" Zhou Lu immediately asked in surprise.

"Hehe." Finding that he had finally attracted the attention of his master, Hua Huo smiled happily, "This is the racial skill I just got. It will reduce my own attributes by half for a long time, and then refresh all my skills except this skill immediately."

"????" Zhou Lu's eyes widened when he heard the description of this skill, "This is the racial skill you got? Don't those research institutes only feed you failed projects?"

"It is indeed a failed project. If I hadn't appeared, it would have starved to death."

"My TM..."

As a beastmaster, Zhou Lu certainly knows what this racial skill means. Refreshing ball! A refresh ball with all skills!

This can no longer be described as perverted!

"No! Are those people in the research institutes trash?" Although Hua Huo got the upper hand, Zhou Lu couldn't help cursing, "Such a powerful spirit beast project was directly terminated?"

"Uh... In fact, it is not considered to have racial skills until now." Hua Huo scratched his hat and said.

Zhou Lu looked at Hua Huo in confusion.

Hua Huo then began to explain.

Because this experimental spirit beast is so ugly, it is the kind of ugliness that will make people feel mentally polluted and have serious psychological discomfort when they see it. Therefore, when it was just hatched from the egg, the project was actually labeled as a suspended death sentence.

So after that, the researchers of the project were always absent-minded about its testing.

[Super Refresh] It is true that this skill can sacrifice long-term attributes in exchange for the immediate refresh of other skills, but the premise is that it must know other skills!

If the researchers do not give it the opportunity to learn other skills, how can it have the opportunity to use racial skills?

So, the super spirit beast that is obviously using a super powerful BUG-level skill, but as a failure, it stays in the corner of the laboratory silently waiting for death.

If it were not for Huahuo's almost census-like plan this time, I am afraid no one would know that there is such a terrifying skill in the world.

And this racial skill, when placed on Huahuo, who has super many skills, has an unparalleled super effect, which can be said to double Huahuo's strength.

"But this attribute is reduced by half..." Zhou Lu asked hesitantly, "How long will it last?"

"Well... it seems to be three months." Hua Huo felt it and said.

It's a bit too long.

Zhou Lu was a little disappointed.

Then he saw a flash of light on Hua Huo's body, and then the aura that had weakened a little came back.

"But I will recover soon! Just like now!" Hua Huo said with a smile.

Zhou Lu was surprised: "What did you do?"

"Use the racial skill of the curse frog to eliminate the BUFF effect of this attribute reduction!" Hua Huo said as a matter of course, "Even if the attribute reduction caused by your own skills is regarded as a negative state by this skill, it can be eliminated directly."

In this way, the only side effect is directly eliminated.

In other words, Hua Huo can play two sets of skills without injury in a battle.

Fuck... This strength...

"Oh, right." Hua Huo seemed to have heard something, then blinked at Zhou Lu and said, "Just now, Xin'an Sixth Research Institute seemed to tell me that there is a failed project that needs to be tested."

Since Hua Huo specifically told Zhou Lu, it means that this failed project is not simple. Zhou Lu smiled and patted Hua Huo, saying, "What skill is it? Don't keep me in suspense."

Hua Huo scratched his hat and said happily, "It is also a refresh-type racial skill."

Hearing Hua Huo's words, Zhou Lu immediately understood what Hua Huo meant.

[Super Refresh] This skill is super powerful, but its cooldown time is also terrifying, almost equal to the duration of attribute reduction.

But if there is a skill with the same refresh ability to refresh this skill, then the two skills can refresh each other.

And in this process, Hua Huo's skills are almost equivalent to unlimited release.

With the purification skill of the Curse Frog, Hua Huo is enough to bear the cost of most skills.

No matter how long this skill has a cooldown, it must be obtained!

After thinking about this, Zhou Lu almost immediately came to a conclusion.

Hua Huo also had the same idea as Zhou Lu, and nodded to Zhou Lu, saying, "Don't worry! I will definitely get this skill!"

"I will let Benben open [Doom Egg] to cooperate with you." Zhou Lu said immediately.

After a pause, he touched his chin and said to Hua Huo, "Speaking of which, [Super Refresh] can only be used on yourself?"

Hearing Zhou Lu's words, Hua Huo didn't know Zhou Lu's thoughts.

He clearly wanted to refresh [Doom Egg] and [Recycling] to make his [Absorb] skill permanently in a 100% absorption state.

Well, what is the price of doing this?

Benben will be in a cycle of death-recycling-resurrection-death for a long time.

"Hello, devil, master."

Zhou Lu also coughed twice when he heard Hua Huo's teasing.

It seems that it is indeed a bit unkind to think so.

"If it is really possible, I also hope that my [Doom Egg] can be refreshed quickly." But at this time, Benben, who was a decoration on the table, spoke.

It had been listening to Zhou Lu and Hua Huo's conversation, so it naturally knew what they meant.

Benben's tone was very firm: "I need constant hardships to quickly improve my growth, and death is the best hardship. If there is really such an infinite refresh method, maybe I will grow faster than Hua Huo."

Its words are not exaggerated.

Yueya, who was listening on the side, called it outrageous, and said helplessly: "If this idea is realized, it seems that it can really evolve quickly."

"Then Benben, you open the skill first." Hua Huo stopped the work at hand, "I'll go and get that skill first."

Hua Huo was devoted to his work, while Zhou Lu fell into long thoughts.

[Super Refresh] This racial skill is definitely an unexpected gain for Hua Huo.

If it weren't for the failed project survey plan carried out by Hua Huo and Qiu Dao Mu, no one would know that there is such a powerful spirit beast.

So... should I tell this discovery?

As long as I don't say it, the skill [Super Refresh] can become Hua Huo's exclusive skill.

But if I don't say it, wouldn't I be too selfish?

Zhou Lu thought about it again and again, and finally decided to spend a lot of money to buy the spirit beast and related project information.

A spirit beast with such excellent strength should not be buried.

But at the same time, Zhou Lu will not produce and promote this spirit beast-until he solves Mengyu Huaxian.

As long as Mengyu Huaxian is solved, he doesn't need to worry about promoting this spirit beast to help the enemy.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lu is more and more looking forward to Huahuo's survey plan.

In laboratories all over the world, there are countless spirit beast projects that seem to have failed but can shine as long as they change their positioning.
