Chapter 124: The Imperfect Evolutionary Method
Chapter 124: The Imperfect Evolutionary Method
After hearing Professor Yan's words, Li Qian didn't immediately respond but instead furrowed his brows in deep thought.
He looked at Professor Yan, who appeared rugged, with suspicion flashing in his eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "Professor Yan, may I ask, what is the success rate of evolution from Gray Bean Dove to Skydashing Falcon?"
Hearing Professor Yan's words and considering his appearance, which had nothing to do with a breeder, Li Qian couldn't help but doubt.
Professor Yan, upon hearing this, smiled awkwardly and then extended one hand, "Less than fifty percent!"
Li Qian didn't think much of it, assuming it was between forty and fifty percent, so he subconsciously asked further, "How much exactly?"
"Twenty percent!" Professor Yan bent three fingers on the hand he had raised, pointing them towards Li Qian.
"..." Li Qian stared at the two remaining fingers on Professor Yan's outstretched hand, instantly rendered speechless, and even his lips twitched involuntarily.
The atmosphere at the scene became awkward. Li Qian couldn't help but mutter to himself: You're playing a numbers game with me!
This Professor Yan not only looked unreliable but seemed genuinely unreliable.
After a moment of daze, he finally reacted and asked, "Why is the evolution success rate so low?"
Seeing that Professor Yan didn't immediately respond, Li Qian added, "Is it because the evolutionary materials are hard to find, or the evolutionary conditions are too strict, or the evolutionary steps are too complicated..."
"Well..." Professor Yan hesitated for a moment and then spoke, sighing, "To be honest, the reason the evolution success rate from Gray Bean Dove to Skydashing Falcon is not high is probably related to the imperfect evolutionary method I researched."
Li Qian immediately grasped the key information in Professor Yan's words, "An imperfect evolutionary method?"
"Yes." Professor Yan nodded, his expression somewhat dejected, "As we all know, the attribute of the Gray Bean Dove is Wind, but after evolution, the attribute of the Skydashing Falcon becomes Space, and the Wind attribute disappears..."
Li Qian was unaware of this. Previously, when he heard the name Skydashing Falcon, he subconsciously assumed it had both Wind and Space attributes.
He just assumed it had the Wind attribute, so he focused his attention on the Space attribute.
Li Qian furrowed his brows in thought, while Professor Yan continued, "You're also a breeder, so you should understand the rules of evolution. When a pet successfully evolves, its attributes only increase, and existing attributes generally don't disappear."
"Indeed, the evolutionary method seems flawed and incomplete!" Li Qian nodded in agreement with Professor Yan's statement, and immediately, his heart stirred with waves of emotion.
This could only mean that the Skydashing Falcon was likely just an intermediate or transitional evolutionary form.
Above the Skydashing Falcon, there should be a more advanced evolutionary form, and according to speculation, this evolutionary form's potential might reach the Imperial Level.
"Hmm." Professor Yan sighed in agreement.
Seeing Professor Yan lost in melancholy, Li Qian didn't offer any words of comfort. His brows remained tightly knit, showing no signs of relaxation. After about three minutes, he suddenly made a suggestion, "I don't know if you can teach me the evolutionary method from Gray Bean Dove to Skydashing Falcon. In exchange, I can share with you the evolutionary method from Koi to Blue Scaled Serpent..."
To ensure this collaboration, he added, "Rest assured, my evolutionary method is very comprehensive. As long as the conditions are met, the evolution success rate for the Koi is almost one hundred percent.
(End of Chapter)"This..." After hearing Li Qian's words, Professor Yan was momentarily stunned. He never expected the former to suggest such a swap.
After a brief daze, Professor Yan looked at Li Qian with suspicion, clearly tempted. "Are you sure you want to swap? If we do, you'll be at a huge disadvantage."
Li Qian smiled, "It's not a disadvantage. By swapping with you, I'll gain knowledge of another evolutionary method. The evolution method from Koi to Green Scaled Serpent won't disappear from my mind just because I share it with you."
"Moreover, whether it's you or me who masters this evolution method, in the end, it will benefit the Shazhou Beastmaster University and the entire Dongxia Federation."
Professor Yan looked at Li Qian with admiration, "I never thought your vision would be so grand."
After a sigh, he continued, "If my guess is correct, the reason you want to swap evolution methods with me is to improve its flaws."
Li Qian smiled, not hiding anything, "Indeed, I have that intention."
Seeing Li Qian's openness and confidence, Professor Yan praised, "Young people, you have such drive!"
At this moment, he wanted to praise Xue Huaiyu.
Putting aside his achievements, just this mindset alone determined that Li Qian would not remain unknown in the future.
Seeing Professor Yan's reaction, although he had a general idea of the outcome, Li Qian still asked for confirmation, "I wonder what Professor Yan is thinking?"
Professor Yan let out a bitter laugh, "What's there to consider? This matter is all advantages and no harm for me. I can't think of a reason to refuse."
Li Qian's smile became more apparent, "Then, let's have a pleasant cooperation!" He extended his right hand.
Professor Yan raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, but eventually shook hands with Li Qian, "Sigh, although it's not very considerate, and I'm taking advantage of you, but still... let's have a pleasant cooperation!"
Perhaps to clarify his position, before Li Qian could speak, Professor Yan proactively brought up the matter of confidentiality, "But rest assured, I won't disclose the evolution method without your permission."
In fact, this is the most common way for Beastmasters to cooperate. They can use the swapped evolution method to evolve their pets, whether their own or others', but they cannot reveal it without the consent of the evolution method researcher.
This has become a customary practice.
Seeing that Professor Yan was so understanding, Li Qian also made a promise, "I will do the same. But if the evolution method is improved..."
Knowing what Li Qian wanted to say, Professor Yan wisely took the initiative, "Then the new evolution method won't have much to do with me..."
Li Qian shook his head, "No, if I can truly research it, I will share the improved evolution method with you."
Professor Yan's expression became complex after hearing Li Qian's words, "Student Li Qian, this... might not be appropriate..."
After struggling for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suggested, "How about I introduce my daughter to you?"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Looking at Professor Yan's robust and muscular figure, Li Qian coughed violently and shook his head vigorously.
He politely declined, "No need!"
