Modu, Insect Research Institute.

A beautiful woman in a research uniform stared blankly at the photos on her phone, doubting whether her eyes were playing tricks on her.

Wait...

Weren't the Green Silkworms just transported over today?!

They succeeded already?

There's no way it could be this fast!

"Are you sure you're not joking??" Hua Chuanqi asked.

After a moment, Shi Yu sent some more information about the Green Silkworm Cocoons.

"The racial level should still be low-level transcendent. What can be confirmed now is that the birth of the Green Silkworm Cocoon is related to the two skills, Absolute Sleep and Supersight."

Shi Yu looked at the evolution plan material list summarized by Ginseng Baby and fell into deep thought.

The evolution materials used for this Green Silkworm Cocoon included the general teaching materials for Absolute Sleep and Supersight.

There were no teaching materials for Psychic Power.

So, why did it awaken Psychic Power?

This skill point deviation completely confused Shi Yu.

If it had awakened more Supersight or Absolute Sleep, Shi Yu wouldn't have been so puzzled.

"How about I try it again? Maybe it's just a coincidence." Shi Yu replied.

"You can try it slowly. I'm heading to the Ancient Capital now." Dr. Zuo Jiangyun typed.

"Me too." Hua Chuanqi also said.

The two of them thought that even if Shi Yu could achieve results, it would take a long time.

However, Shi Yu had just received the goods and confirmed the replicability of the Green Silkworm Cocoon. Was this reasonable?

Moreover, they looked at the background of the photos. Was that... a living room?

How could Shi Yu be so casual!

But no matter what the process was, the result was enough for them to put everything aside and take it seriously.

Although this Green Silkworm Cocoon with an energy value of 250 didn't seem to be anything special, what if other evolution materials were added to it?

For example, if the evolution materials for the Green Silkworm Cocoon were added to the evolution materials for the Ice Phoenix Moth, would it be possible for the Ice Phoenix Moth to also master Psychic Power?

Psychic Power is a versatile skill that can be paired with almost any type. Although it's only a low-level skill, learning it can effectively increase the diversity of pet tactics.

Although it's more likely that the materials would conflict and lead to evolution failure, what if there was an evolutionary form that could perfectly adapt to the Green Silkworm Cocoon race?

Would a new evolutionary form be born then?

Shi Yu was now starting something, laying a foundation, and planting the seeds for the birth of various new evolutionary forms of the Green Silkworm, just like the Imaginary Butterfly that Shi Yu had researched himself.

"Ah, Aunt Hua, Dr. Zuo, are you both coming?" Shi Yu was stunned. Oh well, if they're coming, they're coming.

Leaving the research to others would save him from having to squeeze Ginseng Baby and Worm, and he could focus on other things.

...

Xia Qingwei had been studying silently at the Insect Research Institute for two days since losing to Shi Yu.

The Ice Phoenix Moth actually had another stage of evolution. It was researched by Dr. Zuo six years after she developed the evolution plan from Green Silkworm to Ice Phoenix Moth, which could directly reach the high-level monarch race, but the conditions were very harsh.

It required the breeder to have enough patience for the changes in each growth stage of the Ice Phoenix Moth.

"Don't always stay in the research institute." Dr. Zuo walked into the laboratory, looked at her focused daughter, and said.

"I want to evolve the Ice Phoenix Moth one more stage." She said.

Dr. Zuo had a headache. If she had known that her daughter would be depressed after challenging the Imaginary Butterfly, she wouldn't have encouraged her to go.

She thought she could get some practical combat data, but the opponent's mere gaze had caused Xia Qingwei and the Ice Phoenix Moth to lose their fighting spirit.

Was the strength of that Imaginary Butterfly really that terrifying?

This made Dr. Zuo even more eager to study the Green Silkworm Cocoon.

"Even if you repeat my research, it will be difficult for the Ice Phoenix Moth to defeat the opponent based on race alone." Dr. Zuo said.

Xia Qingwei paused and sighed, leaning on the table. Was there no other way to defeat that Imaginary Butterfly?

"The reason why that Imaginary Butterfly is so powerful is probably due to the Green Silkworm Cocoon as a transitional race. If you want to defeat it, you must first understand it. Come with me to the Ancient Capital."

"Go to the Ancient Capital?" Xia Qingwei asked, confused.

"That Shi Yu has already confirmed the replicability of the Green Silkworm Cocoon race and has just cultivated a second Green Silkworm Cocoon."

"What!" Xia Qingwei stood up abruptly and said, "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? If the replicability is confirmed, the research direction of the domestic insect field for the next ten years may revolve around 'Green Silkworm Cocoon'. Even if you want to do research, you have to follow the trend of the new era." Dr. Zuo said.

At least, her research system didn't have a Green Silkworm that could evolve into a overlord race.

However, the Green Silkworm Cocoon system already had an Imaginary Butterfly.

Instead of letting her daughter repeat her research, it was better to explore new fields.

...

At the Ancient Capital University, Principal Feng received a call from Hua Chuanqi.

Because of Shi Yu and the Imaginary Butterfly, they had been in contact several times recently.

"Hua Chuanqi, what's the matter?"

"Principal Feng, sorry to bother you. Do you know that Shi Yu is researching Green Silkworm Cocoons?"

Principal Feng: ???

"I wouldn't have said anything if you hadn't mentioned it, but now that you have, Hua Xiajin, I have to nag you. Did you tempt Shi Yu to research Green Silkworm Cocoons and get involved in the field of breeding?"

Principal Feng had a headache just thinking about how interested Shi Yu was in breeding during their conversation, and how he even wanted to join the Third Bureau, which specializes in breeding.

"You're letting a genius from the Eleventh Bureau research Green Silkworm Cocoons. What are you thinking? Do you think it's that easy to replicate a overlord race pet?" Principal Feng said, "How much energy will it take? He doesn't have that much time."

"Even if he researches the Green Silkworm Cocoon, it will take a lot of effort."

On the other end, Hua Chuanqi was slightly silent.

Principal Feng was also slightly silent. In his opinion, the birth of the Green Silkworm Cocoon and the birth of the Imaginary Butterfly were all accidents, a lucky encounter for Shi Yu during archeology. They were highly irreproducible. Almost every member of the Eleventh Bureau had some unique, highly irreproducible pets.

For example, where could he find a second Wind Demon Lion with the bloodline of the Evil-Suppressing Lion like Lu Qingyi's?

If Lu Qingyi went to study how to mass-produce Wind Demon Lions with the Evil-Suppressing Lion bloodline, wouldn't that be a waste of her talent?

Hua Chuanqi said, "But the problem is, he didn't spend much effort. He completed the research in less than a few minutes."

Principal Feng: "Even so, it's still... Huh?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Principal Feng was stunned and froze in place.

"Shi Yu just cultivated a second Green Silkworm Cocoon."

"Principal Feng, the Green Silkworm has always been a very important part of ensuring the development of the middle and lower layers of the Dong Huang beast taming field. This discovery is of great significance."

"Dr. Zuo and I are planning to go over now. Do you think the Ancient Capital University can cooperate and help build a Green Silkworm Cocoon Research Institute, just like they built the Iron-Eating Beast Research Institute?" Hua Chuanqi said with a smile, "We can take a position at the Ancient Capital University."

"This is an opportunity for the breeding and research departments of the Ancient Capital University to rival the archeology department. It's only because Shi Yu's identity is special, otherwise Dr. Zuo would have poached him to Modu University long ago."

Principal Feng: "...Wait, I'm a little confused."

He scratched his head as he opened the door and walked towards Shi Yu's dormitory.

Damn it, did Shi Yu really research something?

As he walked, Principal Feng's eyes widened.

A moment later, he arrived at the door of Shi Yu's dormitory.

Shi Yu opened the door, looking at the arriving Old Master Feng, completely confused.

"Principal Feng, why are you here?"

Principal Feng didn't look at Shi Yu, but looked behind him.

At this moment, eleven Green Silkworm Cocoons were following Shi Yu, staring at him with wide eyes.

Principal Feng: ???

"What, what is this?"

"Green Silkworm Cocoons..." Shi Yu said, "I just confirmed it. It's really reproducible. It's incredible. If the evolution materials are used correctly, it's almost 100% guaranteed to evolve into the Cocoon race."

"I just don't know if they can successfully break out of the cocoons... But it shouldn't be a big problem, because they can also train their skills in the cocoon state." Shi Yu said with emotion.

"Principal Feng, do you think I can join the Third Bureau with this research result?" Shi Yu asked.

When he joined the Eleventh Bureau, the starting fund was 10 million, and after becoming a formal member, he received multiple benefits such as the Ruins Ring, the Illustrated Handbook, and the Ruins Meditation Technique. Even the 1 billion yuan for Eleven's evolution was provided by the Eleventh Bureau. He thought about it, and the Third Bureau, which specializes in breeding, couldn't possibly have fewer benefits than the Eleventh Bureau.

He wouldn't mind taking another position. It was the same to stay in one bureau or two. It was always good to get to know more seniors.

Principal Feng: ???

Are you still thinking about holding multiple positions in different departments?

Principal Feng regretted telling Shi Yu that he held three positions.

"This, this may not be enough."

Principal Feng's mouth twitched and said, "If you want to enter that kind of place, even if you research a stable method of cultivating a high-level monarch race, it's still not qualified. The members of the Third Bureau are even fewer than those of the Eleventh Bureau, and each of them is a monster. Let me just tell you about one person."

"She is Dong Huang's top skill instructor, and she has in her hands the teaching secrets of three highly versatile super-level skills. Moreover, her talent can assist in teaching. She once spent three years assisting a titled Legend in cultivating an invincible overlord that mastered six super-level skills."

"In other words, they are a group of people who have the hope of cultivating overlord potential pets if certain conditions are met."

"The Third Bureau is not as simple as you think."

"Of course, the cost of using their perverted talents is also very high. In comparison, although our Listening Talent is not easy to activate, it is good that there are no major side effects."

"Whether you can enter the Dong Huang Thirteen Bureau depends more on beast taming talent. It's difficult to rely on results alone, unless the results are very significant. Don't even think about it."

"It's not possible..." Shi Yu laughed and said, forget it, we'll talk about it later.

"So you came here because..." Shi Yu looked at Principal Feng, who was in a hurry.

Principal Feng: "..."

"Are you very interested in researching breeding?" he asked.

Principal Feng thought with a stomachache.

First of all, it was indeed as Hua Chuanqi said, this was no small discovery.

If any follow-up results were researched, the Ancient Capital University would have more than just the archeology department to show off.

From then on, the breeding department would also be the top in the country.

Moreover, the research on Green Silkworm Cocoons was indeed a genuine research that could promote the development of the entire country's beast taming field. It was not neglecting his main job.

Half a day of archeology might not be as valuable as this result.

Principal Feng looked up slightly, not expecting Shi Yu to have this kind of talent.

He thought for a long time and decided to give his support.

Anyway, Shi Yu was still young. It wouldn't be a big deal for the school to build a research institute and let Shi Yu take a part-time position in the breeding department and mess around at the school for two years.

On the one hand, it could increase the breeding research foundation of the Ancient Capital University, and on the other hand, it could also allow Shi Yu to develop peacefully at the school. As long as Shi Yu didn't go to any dangerous places, he could do anything. Besides, this was also a serious matter.

The more Principal Feng thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

"I've decided to build a Green Silkworm Cocoon Research Institute, and you will lead the research. Surprised?" Principal Feng said with a smile after thinking it through.

It was as if he had already seen Shi Yu's excited expression.

And he himself began to imagine the future of the Ancient Capital University's two ace majors.

"Ah?" Shi Yu shook his head blankly and said, "I'm not very interested in researching Green Silkworm Cocoons..."

Principal Feng: ???

"Then what is this!" He pointed to the Green Silkworm Cocoons.

Shi Yu said, "Accidental... an accident? Don't worry, now that I've confirmed the feasibility of the Green Silkworm Cocoon, my mission is over. Dr. Zuo and Hua Chuanqi seem to be coming over. I'll give you the information then, and you can study it. I just want to work on fossils now, preferably mythical creature fossils."

Even if the Green Silkworm Cocoon was thoroughly researched, it would be the same for Shi Yu.

But if he was researching fossils, it would be different.

This involved the power of imagination, the revival of ancient creatures, and the revival of divine beasts. This was the greatest attraction to Shi Yu, a mythical scholar.

Principal Feng: ???

"Fossils... fossils..." Principal Feng was numb. What was there to research about that thing? Old Lady Li researched it for a lifetime, and it was still the same. It was better to research Green Silkworm Cocoons.

He completely forgot that he had thought it was good to let Shi Yu research fossils in peace.

"Well, let's talk in detail after Dr. Zuo and Hua Chuanqi arrive." Principal Feng's teeth hurt. He couldn't force Shi Yu's ideas, but for some reason, he suddenly felt very tired.

...

That day, Hua Chuanqi and Dr. Zuo arrived at Ancient Capital University.

For people of their level, traveling across cities was very fast.

Dr. Zuo and Hua Chuanqi were about the same age. One was still wearing a research uniform, and the other was still wearing the butterfly-patterned cheongsam. However, the difference between the two was that one's daughter was in college, and the other was still single after all these years.

"There's a sad story hidden in this." The old principal of Ancient Capital University, who knew the inside story, received Dr. Zuo and Hua Chuanqi together with Shi Yu.

"Um, who is this?" The old principal of Ancient Capital University was surprised to see the girl following Dr. Zuo.

"Principal Feng, hello, my name is Xia Qingwei. I came with my mother this time." Xia Qingwei politely greeted Principal Feng, but her eyes observed Shi Yu, who was scratching his head beside her.

"Qingwei is my assistant." Dr. Zuo smiled slightly.

"Welcome." Shi Yu chuckled and said, "Why don't we all go take a look at the Green Silkworm Cocoons first?"

"Of the 51 Green Silkworms, 20 have completed their evolution, and 11 of them are Green Silkworm Cocoons."

Dr. Zuo and Hua Chuanqi looked at each other. Was it really reproducible?

Soon, the group arrived at Shi Yu's dormitory courtyard.

At this time, nine ordinary cocoons of Green Silkworms were sleeping in the corner, while the eleven that had evolved into Green Silkworm Cocoons were staring at each other here, smelling the fragrance of the flowers in the courtyard.

How amazing, why don't they have noses, but they can smell the fragrance?

"Incredible."

"Unbelievable."

After entering, Dr. Zuo and Hua Chuanqi looked at the eleven Green Silkworm Cocoons, incredibly excited.

It was as if they had seen a newly opened door leading to the highest realm of the insect field.

There hadn't been any major research results in the insect field for a long time.

"Student Shi Yu, you are indeed a genius." Dr. Zuo praised without reservation, "If Qingwei was half as good as you, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

Xia Qingwei: ???

You called me over just to say this?

Hua Chuanqi smiled and said, "Principal Feng, have you considered it? Dr. Zuo and I have volunteered to take a position at Ancient Capital University this time."

"Student Shi Yu, how about Dr. Zuo and I assist you in researching Green Silkworm Cocoons in the future?"

They were just one Green Silkworm Cocoon Research Institute away.

Of course, with their identities, it would be easy to build a research institute themselves, but it wouldn't be easy to poach Shi Yu, because Shi Yu was a genius cultivated by the Eleventh Bureau and was studying at Ancient Capital University. They had to consider the thoughts of Principal Feng, this old senior.

Principal Feng smiled awkwardly and said, "The problem is, this kid, Shi Yu, said that he suddenly lost interest in researching Green Silkworm Cocoons."

"The research institute still has to be built, but Shi Yu doesn't seem to plan to study it in depth himself."

Dr. Zuo, Hua Chuanqi, and Xia Qingwei: ???

The three looked at Shi Yu.

What?

Shi Yu smiled sheepishly. He didn't research Green Silkworm Cocoons for himself in the first place. He just wanted to see if he could get a result by the way. He didn't plan to study it for a long time from the beginning. Now that he had made a start, it was almost enough in his opinion.

In Shi Yu's opinion, it wasn't worth investing too much effort.

"I don't have enough energy or professional knowledge, so I won't mess things up." Shi Yu said with self-awareness.

Why bother researching myself when I can just make a start and wait to receive the results?

"You're calling casually researching the Green Silkworm Cocoon a lack of professional knowledge?" Dr. Zuo's mouth twitched. She had never seen such a Versailles-like young man.

"You, you're not going to research it?" Xia Qingwei was completely dumbfounded.

Even though she was still young, she knew how significant this research result was.

Shi Yu just gave up researching it like that?

She suddenly couldn't understand the difference between herself and Shi Yu.

Dr. Zuo and Hua Chuanqi didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I can understand." Hua Chuanqi pondered for a moment and looked at Shi Yu, "But it's a rare research result. Do you want to take this result to participate in the Breeding Conference in a week?"

"In their current state, they should be able to evolve in three to seven days. You can use the Ruins Space or talent to speed it up. It's enough time." Dr. Zuo looked at the cocoons and then at Shi Yu, "Do you want to participate?"

"Um, what is that?" Shi Yu said.

"The Breeding Conference is an annual breeding achievement exhibition held by the Breeder Association. The participants are basically breeders from all walks of life. The Breeder Association will reward the researchers for the most valuable breeding achievements selected, and will also provide certain support for the research project."

"The Green Silkworm Cocoon should be a very good research result. If the evolved form after transforming into a butterfly has more potential, it may have a chance to win the championship. You can also use this opportunity to promote the Green Silkworm Cocoon and get a lot of investment." Dr. Zuo said.

There was such a conference?

Shi Yu was stunned and said, "Then what is the prize this time..."

Dr. Zuo: "Time Soil, a special soil-type, time-type dual-type resource, containing the power of time, which can cause some spiritual plants to mutate. It is a research material that many breeders who study spiritual plants dream of. This is not the main thing. The main thing is this stage, which is the best place to show breeding achievements and maximize the value of a research result."

"It can be more widely spread than publishing a paper. If it is widely recognized, it will be very important for us to research Green Silkworm Cocoons next."

Shi Yu tentatively asked: "A time-type, soil-type dual-type resource that can cause plants to mutate?"

"Um?" Dr. Zuo nodded.

Shi Yu wiped his hands and said with a serious face, "When do we start researching Green Silkworm Cocoons? Can we research any major results within seven days? I'm ready."

Everyone:?

Didn't you say you weren't interested just now???
