Beast Taming Patrol

"Light attribute..." Lin Su frowned, "The light and fire attributes have a certain correlation, with better compatibility compared to other attributes, so the difficulty for a light attribute pet beast to evolve and gain fire attributes shouldn't be too great, right?"

"Indeed, that is the case," Qin Nan nodded slightly and immediately spoke again, "But what if that very light attribute pet beast innately fears fire? How should it overcome that fear?"

An innate fear of fire?

Lin Su was stunned.

So why insist on awakening fire attributes in a pet beast that naturally fears fire?

Is this something humans would do?

"Does it have to overcome this? Can't we just let it evolve into another attribute?" Lin Su cautiously inquired.

"No, it has to be fire," Qin Nan shook his head, "Don't feel too pressured, just speak whatever comes to mind, I just want to hear your thoughts."

Lin Su nodded and began to ponder deeply.

Qin Nan's question was obviously meant to test him.

They must be doubtful about how he identified the evolutionary path, and so they wanted to check whether his theoretical knowledge was sound.

In that case, simply saying he didn't know was clearly not an option.

He had to present some substantial ideas to gain their approval.

He began to earnestly recall the unique evolutionary paths he had read about in the divine martial world.

Could any of them be helpful in this situation?

After pondering for a while, Lin Su's eyes gradually lit up.

Amongst the evolutionary paths of the divine martial world, he hadn't seen an identical case.

But there was one similar example.

It was a bird-like pet beast that mastered earth attribute powers following a specific evolutionary path.

Theoretically, earth powers and bird-like pet beasts were entirely contradictory.

Pet beasts that fear fire are similarly in conflict with the fire attribute.

So, a similar evolutionary approach might be feasible.

Lin Su cleared his throat lightly, "I think it might be possible to..."

...

Honestly, when Qin Nan suggested meeting with Lin Su in person, she didn't hold much hope.

In the current research project, she had spent so much time that it was almost a case of desperate measures.

She just found Lin Su's approach interesting and thought it might inspire other ideas.

But as Lin Su finished speaking, Qin Nan's eyes became increasingly bright.

This method sounded absurd.

But it made sense.

Qin Nan envisioned it, and perhaps with a few detail adjustments, this evolutionary method could succeed.

Excited, she took a deep drag from her cigarette until it was spent, coughed lightly, and frowned slightly. The shallow purple summoning patterns under her feet intertwined, summoning Spore Baby once again.

Seeing her summon a wood attribute pet beast to heal herself, Lin Su couldn't help but speak up, "Um... Researcher Qin, are you sick?"

"No." Qin Nan flicked her finger, and after the cigarette butt accurately hit a distant trash can, she explained, "Smoking is harmful to health, so I contracted a pet beast that can heal."

Lin Su: "???"

So why don't you just quit smoking?

"That's not important," Qin Nan waved her hand, looked seriously at Lin Su, and after pondering for a moment seemed to have made a decision.

"I'm considering hiring you as my assistant researcher. Would you be willing?"
