My beast can't be a demon.

"Your mushroom... should not be poisonous, right?" Zhou Lu hesitated as he looked at the mushroom in Wu Xiaoqing's hand.

He had suffered at the hands of Wu Xiaoqing.

"It's okay! It's okay!" Wu Xiaoqing assured him while patting the surging waves, "Although it was a Class A poison at the first stage, I have fully tested it after evolution, and there was no sign of poisoning during the animal experiment."

"..."

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. It is said that there is an endless desert there, and the exploration team has not been able to successfully cross the desert in front of them so far.

As Wu Xiaoqing spoke, she began to proudly talk about the advantages of this mushroom in her hand.

"Even if it is digested and excreted, its undigested parts can grow again in extremely harsh environments." Wu Xiaoqing said proudly, "In a sense, this is an infinitely regenerative food!"

Once such food is born, she, Wu Xiaoqing, will definitely become a saint in this world!

"Come on!" Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoqing's interest became even higher, and she took out a bunch of seasonings and placed them in front of Zhou Lu, "Hurry up and help me make a fried mushroom!"

Although Wu Xiaoqing is a single woman, her cooking skills are really hard to describe compared to her level of scolding people, at least it left a very deep impression on Zhou Lu.

Zhou Lu looked at the mushrooms in his hand, which were worthy of the definition of a second-level spiritual beast. Even if they were picked and separated from the attached wood, the mushrooms in the plate still twisted their bodies very stubbornly.

Is this mushroom really serious?

Zhou Lu was a little afraid that if he cut it with a knife, the mushroom would fight back.

This is a second-level spiritual beast!

But Wu Xiaoqing on the side repeatedly assured that there was absolutely no problem.

Zhou Lu had no choice but to trust this tolerant elder sister.

The production process was smoother than Zhou Lu had imagined.

It was that Zhou Lu wanted to complain countless times during the production process. Is it really appropriate to use experimental equipment in the laboratory to make dishes?

"Don't worry, Xiao Lu!" Wu Xiaoqing said with a thumbs up, "Cooking in the laboratory is also something that the Breeding College has to try."

Breeding disciplines are divided into combat breeding and livelihood breeding.

The former specializes in breeding suitable combat beasts, and studying the evolutionary routes and special evolutionary routes of spirit beasts is their best subject.

While livelihood breeding focuses more on developing the application scope of spirit beasts in the field of livelihood, including transportation, traffic, energy, medical care, and naturally food.

Wu Xiaoqing is a graduate student majoring in livelihood breeding.

However, Zhou Lu doubted her professionalism.

It must be admitted that Wu Xiaoqing's results this time, at least in terms of the appearance of the finished dish, are impeccable.

The fried mushrooms are crystal clear and even emit a faint glow.

The tempting smell quickly spread throughout the laboratory with the rising heat.

"It tastes delicious!" Wu Xiaoqing's appetite was excited, and she patted Zhou Lu's shoulder happily, "It's worth it that I snatched the pepper from my senior."

"Ah? Snatch..."

"Of course. Recently, the flying jade bees there have been missing frequently, and they even suspected that I did it, and didn't give me the opportunity to get close to their vegetable fields." At this point, Wu Xiaoqing was still very angry.

However, the delicious food in front of her still soothed Wu Xiaoqing's mood very well, and she couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks.

"Sister Xiaoqing, not yet..."

Before Zhou Lu finished speaking, he saw Wu Xiaoqing taking a bite.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Lu asked carefully.

"It's okay!"

The next second, Wu Xiaoqing fell on the table.

Xiaoxi saw Wu Xiaoqing's appearance and said in surprise: "Is it so delicious?"

Is this a manifestation of deliciousness?

"It's a pity that it didn't burst." Xiaoxi said disappointedly.

"Now is not the time to care about this!" Zhou Lu pointed at Wu Xiaoqing and said, "Mushrooms are growing on her body!"

On Wu Xiaoqing's body, beautiful white mushrooms are growing wildly.

Damn, my future guide may have to suffer here - because of eating mushrooms indiscriminately.

Just when Zhou Lu was desperate, a card flew out of Wu Xiaoqing's body, and then the card was released, and a huge toad with a strange appearance appeared in the laboratory.

This is Wu Xiaoqing's initial spirit beast: the curse frog.

The curse frog skillfully spit out its tongue, rolled up Wu Xiaoqing on the ground, swallowed it into its mouth, and then chewed it.

At this time, the voice of the system sounded in Zhou Lu's ears.

[Ding! Mission failed. ]

[You almost killed Wu Xiaoqing, but failed at the last moment. ]

[Although the mission failed, your decisiveness and courage are worthy of praise. ]

[You get 90% of the mission reward, please check]

[The system has reset the mission, please keep up the good work. 】

When Zhou Lu was confused, the curse frog had already completed its work.

Opening its mouth, Wu Xiaoqing, wet with transparent mucus, rolled to the ground 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 saw heaven..."

Shaking her head, she seemed to be a little more awake, and when she looked up, she saw Zhou Lu's strange eyes.

As if she had thought of something, Wu Xiaoqing smiled at Zhou Lu and said: "Don't worry! My frog is a girl, I am not defiled."

TM, I don't care about this at all, okay!

"Yeah." As if to convince Zhou Lu, Wu Xiaoqing also produced evidence, "Several 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 Xi flew in front of Wu Xiaoqing and said, "Although it passed the animal experiment, it is very lethal to humans. Well... From what I saw just now, it is the top one even among the Class A poisons. If it weren't for your curse frog, I'm afraid you would have died here."

Wu Xiaoqing also sighed, but she was not discouraged: "It doesn't matter, at least except for the poison, the other characteristics have met the requirements."

"Oh, right!" At this point, Wu Xiaoqing seemed to remember something and looked at Zhou Lu and said, "You should prepare for the exam, right?"

Unlike Wu Xiaoqing's breeding department, Zhou Lu studied in the combat department of Xin'an Beast Taming College.

There are only two future career directions for beast taming students in the combat department.

One is the competition direction, using the spirit beasts they cultivate to fight other beast tamers and win competition prizes and fame.

The other is the adventure direction, which is mainly to take the spiritual beasts you cultivate to explore the secret realms that humans have never explored, obtain precious materials and official rewards, and trade with general fairies through the information obtained from the exploration.

The former is safe and stable and it is easy to become famous and become a big star that everyone is paying attention to, while the latter is very dangerous. Even in the secret realms that have been cultivated by the pioneers, you can lose your life if you are not careful, and the income is also very unstable. Therefore, many combat students now prefer to go the competition direction.

If it were not for this system, Zhou Lu would have chosen the former.

Of course, since his initial spiritual beast was a plant, he naturally did not expect to achieve results in the arena. He just wanted to compete in a few games casually, then retire, and go to a remote town to be a beastmaster teacher. Relying on the insurance compensation for his father's accidental death, he would be able to spend his life steadily.

"Hey! This is for you." After getting Zhou Lu's affirmative answer, Wu Xiaoqing operated on the phone.

Zhou Lu's phone vibrated, and when he looked down, it turned out that Wu Xiaoqing had transferred a few fairy coins to him.

Fairy coins, the currency obtained from the general fairy, can be used to buy skills and knowledge from the general fairy, and can also be used in transactions with beastmasters. 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!
