Beast Taming: My Intelligence System

Dead Pawn Zone, unusually dim.

The surroundings seemed to be shrouded in a grayish mist.

Almost every few steps, one could see a Soul-devouring Demon with only a head patrolling the shelves.

These terrifying creatures are a specialty of the Abyss, feared even by demons who have fought in abyssal blood battles.

This creature has the shape of a human head, and the head is very large, probably two meters in diameter.

They float in the air relying on their thoughts.

Every Soul-devouring Demon looks different.

They come in appearances of both genders, young and old.

In the center of their forehead, there's a cyan gem, seemingly emitting beams of fire.

These Soul-devouring Demons patrol aimlessly.

Once they detect the presence of a living person, they will swam together and attack.

"Never look into the eyes of a Soul-devouring Demon, or you'll catch its interest."

"Once it becomes interested, it will follow you."

"They will seize any chance to harvest your soul."

Fatty Huang cautioned earnestly.

On the shelves of the Dead Pawn Zone are many treasures.

A large amount of gray mist spread out.

Ultimately, Ye Bai chose a Tier Seven Heart of the Insect King, which came from the Five Elements Saint Butterfly, being the most fitting Heart of the Insect King for the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm.

Also, there was a Tier Seven Sun Crystal and Space Crystal.

Having reaped plentifully, as Ye Bai was about to leave the Dead Pawn Zone, he saw a broken sword.

This broken sword emitted a glow like Sun and Moon shining together.

After careful examination, it turned out to be the tip of the sword.

"This is a nameless broken sword, the tip part is very sharp."

"This thing has been here for too long, if you need it, just take it."

Fatty Huang could tell Ye Bai was quite interested in the broken sword.

"Alright, let's consider it making a friend."

Ye Bai placed the sword tip into his Pet Beast Space.

Little did he know, at the moment the True Dragon Spirit appeared at the sword's tip, it fragmented into seven Myriad Dragon Slashes and one Ancient Bronze Sword.

The Ancient Bronze Sword shed its original appearance.

It turned out to be just a section of the sword body.

The sword tip and body fused, emitting a dazzling bright light.

However, the Pet Beast Space shielded the light.

Once the strong light faded, a number nine appeared on the sword body.

When the True Dragon Spirit condensed again, it unexpectedly reached Tier Six; if Ye Bai knew this.

Ye Bai would definitely be delighted and find it a bit unbelievable.

After all, the True Dragon Spirit is second only to Big Gray and now also the second to reach Tier Six level.

"By the way, if there's any intelligence in the future, I'll come by to consult you."

Fatty Huang's face twitched. Please, this is a pawnshop, not an intelligence station.

The crux is you don't pay for intelligence.

I've lost quite a lot, it's heartache, real heartache.

You're good, don't come again, if you do, I won't receive you.

After seeing Ye Bai leave, Fatty Huang waved his hand, closing the doors of the Celestial Pawnshop.

Immediately, this renowned pawnshop concealed itself in the void.

With the help of the Paper Puppet's power, Ye Bai returned to Imperial University.

Ye Bai discovered the Five Elements Pinecone among the fruit stands at Imperial University.

"This is good stuff, the Five Elements Saint Butterfly can enhance its understanding of the Five Elements after eating it."

Ye Bai said with a smile.

However, when he returned to the research institute, he found a crowd gathered at the entrance of his laboratory.

"Hey, what are you doing here."

Ye Bai said somewhat displeased.

"We all came to see the chief, but don't have permission."

"I hope you can open the laboratory door, let us in to see the chief."

The leading woman pushed up her glasses, speaking to Ye Bai, her face showed an aloof expression.

"Sorry, the chief is undergoing treatment and not seeing visitors."

"All unrelated persons please disperse immediately."

"Or I'll call security."

"Do you know if you gather here without cause, and the principal finds out, you might receive a warning."

"I'll say it again, move!"

Ye Bai's words completely stunned the surrounding people.

After some effort, he finally entered the laboratory.

As the laboratory door closed, the students who found themselves having fun, left in pairs, only a few stayed, staring fixedly at the lab door.

Upon stepping into the laboratory, Ye Bai noticed something was off with the eggs on the table.

Whether Strong Ants, Iron Armor Ants, or Strong Iron Armor Ants.

Their eggs are all crystal clear, very few Exotic Beasts lay green Exotic Beast Eggs.

Moreover, Ye Bai remembered being in a rush, possibly leaving Iron Armor Ant's Exotic Beast Egg on the table.

Seems like it was his mistake.

Could it be poorly preserved, going rotten and moldy.

Ye Bai instinctively used Identification Technique.

[Iron Armor Ant's larval egg parasitized by spores.]

Upon using Insight Technique, Ye Bai instantly knew what had happened.

"Goodness, these spores have such an effect."

"But after the Iron Armor Ant emerges, is there a chance of forming a Cordyceps Ant."

Ye Bai rubbed his chin.

The spore was quite useful, seems it needs proper preservation.

After removing spores from the chief's body, should some be kept for experimentation.

Ye Bai thought to himself.

Many times, experiments result from lucky accidents.

Ye Bai continued using the treatment device on the chief, accelerating the maturation of spores.

Once mature, Ye Bai used a sharp scalpel to remove the spores from the chief.

Ye Bai cherished these spores and collected them.

These might hold epoch-making significance.

After a while, the chief woke up.

He still seemed immersed in a terrifying Illusion Realm.

"Not good, we've been attacked by numerous mutated plant Exotic Beasts."

"Run, hurry!"

The chief seemed still plunged in his moment of peril.

"Chief Jiang Dongsheng, you are safe now. I am your attending physician."

"My name is Ye Bai."

"How is your current physical condition?"

Jiang Dongsheng roared like a wild beast, it seemed that the spores had invaded his body, causing unavoidable damage to him.

At the very least, they caused very serious damage to the brain.

Jiang Dongsheng was taken away by the school, while professional psychotherapists were brought in to soothe his emotions repeatedly.

After sorting out Jiang Dongsheng, Zhang Dashan, the ancestor-master, personally came to the laboratory. He wanted to ask Ye Bai to help him investigate the Western Research Institute's matters.

However, Ye Bai refused at that time and handed over a USB drive.

"This is evidence I obtained through a special channel concerning the Western Research Institute. I won't be going."

"Just based on this evidence, they can be convicted."

After Ye Bai threw out the evidence, Zhang Dashan's face turned as dark as a Black Judge.

"The Western Research Institute is beyond saving from top to bottom."

"It's like the roots have rotted."

"Ye Bai, with this crucial intelligence you provided, I am no longer so passive."

"I originally wanted to take you to investigate the Western Research Institute."

"With the materials you've provided, I only need to conduct discreet investigations."

"You've saved me a lot of trouble."

Zhang Dashan said with admiration.

"Haha, as long as the ancestor-master likes it."

"By the way, ancestor-master, I need to conduct a project study for a while."

"I'll leave the Western Research Institute issue to you."

Ye Bai didn't have time to follow along; he had more important things to do now.

That was to ponder whether he could research the Cordyceps Ant.

"Let's first test the vitality of these Exotic Beast Eggs."

It didn't take long for the values to come out.

These parasitized Exotic Beast Eggs were still tenaciously alive.

Truly, what was accidental turned into something beneficial.

Having vitality means there is a possibility of these Exotic Beast Eggs hatching.

"The temperature for incubation can't be too high."

"Too high will cause the Exotic Beast Eggs to be roasted."

Ye Bai muttered to himself.

"And there's another subject that needs my research."

"How do spores infect Exotic Beast Eggs? Is it through airborne transmission?"

"Intimate contact?"

"Or something else?"

"Everyone, come out, got some work."

After the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm came out from the Pet Beast Space, it looked excitedly at the large laboratory.

Oh my, that must have cost a fortune.

Its restless tongue stretched out, with a glint of brilliance in its eyes.

"Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, don't say I didn't warn you."

"This laboratory is mostly filled with spores that can parasitize human bodies."

"According to my research, these spores can even parasitize insect-type Pet Beasts."

"By then, you'd be walking like a zombie, and you can't eat your favorite cream puffs."

The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm suddenly choked, Ye Bai's tone was so serious, it almost felt like needing to tie itself with a rope, causing it to stand respectfully.

It became obedient, well-behaved, and cute.

"Next, I will conduct basic incubation experiments."

"Sunflower Emperor, you help me monitor."

"Nether Wolf, if anyone enters the lab, immediately sound a Level One alarm."

"The stuff in the lab is extremely important, it doesn't matter who comes."

"No outsiders are allowed in."

Ye Bai planned to conduct closed research.

He actively attempted to see if he could create the Cordyceps Ant.

"Let's begin incubation."

"Adjust the temperature to forty degrees."

"Constantly check the data on the monitoring device."

The life force of these Pet Beasts was very tenacious.

Within a few days, infected Iron Armor Ant larvae emerged from their cocoons,

The infected Iron Armor Ants glowed with a green luster under the incandescent lamp.

A small mushroom grew on its back, which was absorbing the Iron Armor Ant larvae's stamina.

This Iron Armor Ant larva seemed to still have its consciousness, but not much, and the mushroom might be the key factor controlling the Iron Armor Ant.

"Phew, how should I prepare myself."

"Should I look at the data first to decide how to prepare?"

"This experiment is difficult, but the path of research is lonely."

"I can only hope for success."

[Name: Infected Iron Armor Ant Larva]

[Gender: None]

[Attribute: Insect/Wood]

[Skills: Highly Poisonous Spores (Beginner): Spit highly poisonous spores from the mouth to corrode enemies. Enemies hit and infected become the next spreaders of the spores.

Steel Claw (Beginner): Swing its silvery white claws to attack opponents.

Impact (Beginner): Quickly moves on the ground, colliding with the opponent.

Beheading Clamp (Beginner): Bites the opponent's neck with its sharp teeth; in severe cases, it can even sever the opponent's head.]

[Evolutionary Path 1: Undead Mushroom, buried in the most Yin-infested area and drenched in black dog blood for seven days, it requires contact with a special treasure to allow the Iron Armor Ant larva to evolve; the special treasure needs to be explored by people.]

[Evolutionary Path 2: Iron Armor Ant, with sufficient nutrition, it can evolve into an Iron Armor Ant.]

[Evolutionary Path 3: Undead Ant King, resonating with the spores parasitizing its body, coordinating to complete the final evolution.]

"The three evolutionary paths, the first one is out of the question, directly excluded."

"The Iron Armor Ant and Undead Ant King can only be chosen between."

"Might as well choose the Undead Ant King, perhaps it can summon countless dead ants to attack."

However, the evolutionary conditions are no longer easy to come by, previously it would specify the raw materials, now just a sentence here, what's the deal.

Strange, since my Eye of Insight evolved, I should see more information about the Undead Ant King, right?

Why is it still so vague, that's very intriguing.

No matter, let's proceed with the experiment.

There are quite a few infected Iron Armor Ant larvae, from now on it will be called the Cordyceps Ant.

Fortunately, the laboratory that Zhang Lingxue configured for me is spacious enough, or where else can I place the hatched Cordyceps Ants?

The hatched Cordyceps Ants were all collected into the Beast Card by Ye Bai; these are crucial experimental materials and must be properly preserved.

These Cordyceps Ants will become the main research subjects in Ye Bai's laboratory.
