Chapter 254: Huang Tianbing: I'm Your Buddy!
Chapter 254: Huang Tianbing: I'm Your Buddy!
Inside the instrument laboratory of the Heart of Wood.
"No, this Dark Flame Ancient Crow is no different!"
Ye Zhou squatted before an analysis instrument, examining the extracted DNA of the Dark Flame Ancient Crow, and frowned as he repeated the words he had uttered countless times.
Su Ping glanced at him and fiddled with his phone, "What kind of difference are you expecting? Do you want it to transform into a different species, like a plant or an elemental creature? At the end of the day, even if a pet beast has disappeared from history, its essence remains the same, whether it's a degenerated or extinct pet beast."
Ye Zhou looked troubled.
Su Ping couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.
Since the third day of the Lunar New Year, this guy had returned to the Heart of Wood from the Dong family to study the remains of the Dark Flame Ancient Crow in Su Ping's Beast Space. He had been researching it ever since.
The remains of the other pet beasts had been buried by Su Ping in front of Xiao Wuya as a respectful farewell.
Only this Dark Flame Ancient Crow, after obtaining Xiao Wuya's consent, became the experimental subject for Su Ping and Ye Zhou's research on extinct pet beasts.
"The issue is, there must be a reason why the Dark Flame Ancient Crow devolved into the Fire-Eating Crow. And why would this particular Dark Flame Ancient Crow exhibit atavism in such a situation? Aren't these all reasons?"
"Yeah, didn't I tell you that? So, you just need to find those reasons."
Su Ping smiled.
Ye Zhou gave him a blank stare and started deep in thought, "Could it be that the Dark Flame Ancient Crow's population is too small, and inbreeding is the cause?"
This time, Su Ping stared blankly at him.
How could he even suggest such a thing?
"I don't know. I don't have the time or energy to research this right now. I can only provide you with some directions."
Although he was genuinely interested in the ancient three-legged Golden Crow, an ancient species of the Fire-Eating Crow, things still needed to be prioritized, right? However, he did have some speculations and ideas, and after a pause, he said, "You can focus your research on the energy aspect. In my opinion, the extinction of ancient pet beasts is largely due to subtle changes in the energy on Blue Star, which may have made it impossible for ancient species to survive, leading to their degeneration!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhou's eyes lit up, "That makes sense."
After a moment, Su Ping shook his head, not bothering to pay attention to this guy who had found a new goal and direction.
Currently, the most important thing for him was something else. He needed to quickly obtain water domain trait resources to perfect his Beast Space and swiftly advance to the Elite Rank.
He couldn't stand staying in the Elite Rank for even a day.
However, Su Ping searched through the Breeder Association, the Cold Lord's side, and even the Legion, but couldn't find any available resources.
This left Su Ping feeling helpless.
He was even considering using wood domain trait resources to try and neutralize the fire domain trait resources.
Just as Su Ping rested his chin and watched Ye Zhou investigate the energy composition of the Dark Flame Ancient Crow, the phone he was playing with suddenly rang.
He took a look at the screen.
It was a strange yet familiar number.
It seemed to have sent him a New Year's greeting message during the Lunar New Year. He furrowed his brows slightly but still answered the call, as the fact that they had his number indicated the caller was no ordinary person.
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this Breeder Su Ping?"
In the Imperial Capital, Huang Tianbing's spirits lifted upon hearing the voice on the phone.
"Hello, may I ask who's speaking?" Su Ping asked politely.
"Respected Breeder Su Ping, it's me! We've chatted for a long time. Haha, I'm your pen pal!" Huang Tianbing laughed.
He believed that his customer service-like tone would definitely jog the caller's memory.
However, Su Ping looked at the phone suspiciously and scratched his head.
You? Who are you?
We've chatted for a long time?
In this world, the number of people he had chatted with for an extended period could be counted on one hand, let alone someone he didn't recognize after chatting.
So, although the situation was abstract, Su Ping's first thought was:
Telecom scam?
Did they have this on Blue Star as well?
Suddenly, Su Ping's gaze turned sharp.
Hearing no response from the other end, Huang Tianbing coughed lightly and prompted, "Don't you remember? You asked me whether the chicken or the egg came first! We chatted every day before."
"???"
A hint of confusion flashed in Su Ping's eyes.
Someone saying such nonsensical things didn't seem like a telecom scam! After all, the park wouldn't allow people with intellectual disabilities to participate in scam activities, would they?
But the fact that he could reveal his background seemed to indicate that this wasn't a wrong number.
Su Ping blinked, "Did you misunderstand something?"
Hearing the voice on the phone, Huang Tianbing also blinked.
How could there be a misunderstanding? Who could he possibly misunderstand other than this little ancestor? After all, during the time before and after the Breeder Competition, he had endured hardship and bitterness, chatting intensely with this little ancestor for over five hours every day.
As the Overseer of the Heavenward Inspectorate, he was almost becoming a full-time chat companion.
But now, this person was refusing to acknowledge their relationship?
At this moment, Huang Tianbing was stunned.
However, when they were online, this little ancestor had mentioned that they were friends!
So, Huang Tianbing spoke directly, "I'm the one you chatted with on the backend of the Heavenward Inspectorate."
"Hmm?"
Su Ping blinked, "When did I..."
Wait a minute!
Su Ping slapped his forehead as he suddenly remembered something.
Hearing the slightly aggrieved tone of the man on the other end, Su Ping also cleared his throat, "Ah, it's you~"
Only then did Huang Tianbing breathe a sigh of relief. If Su Ping didn't acknowledge their relationship, he would even have reason to suspect that the identity of the Heavenward Inspectorate that Ghost Saint was after, might have been used by this youngster for other purposes.
"Hehehe, I was thinking of calling to wish you a happy new year, but I felt it might be too abrupt. I've been hesitating, but now I've finally made genuine contact with Breeder Su. Let me introduce myself, I'm Huang Tianbing, Overseer of the Heavenward Inspectorate."
Hmm? Su Ping was taken aback again.
Overseer?! Not a customer service representative? He pursed his lips and responded, then directly logged into the backend of the Heavenward Inspectorate to read the chat history.
As he scrolled through the messages, he saw that the last interaction was after returning from Magic City.
That made sense, as Fei Fei had already started researching the Dream Heart at that time.
Su Ping pursed his lips, listening to Huang Tianbing's words of praise, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to reveal the cruel truth to this extremely close yet never-met Overseer.
If the Overseer were to know that after half a month of chatting, with over ten thousand messages exchanged, it wasn't Su Ping himself, but a newly awakened mechanical core with a different intelligence path from ordinary mechanical intelligence... he wasn't sure what Huang Tianbing's mental state would be.
So, Su Ping cleared his throat and put on an extremely familiar and intimate act, "So that's how it is, hahaha, I thought you were just a customer service representative of the Heavenward Inspectorate. No wonder the Heavenward Inspectorate's influence in the Dragon Nation is rising. With a hands-on leader like you, it's only natural to receive such importance!"
Huang Tianbing's hearty laughter came through the phone, leaving Su Ping perplexed.
Busy to the point of being overwhelmed?
It didn't show! You had the time to chat with an AI for over half a month, exchanging tens of thousands of messages, and you're still overwhelmed? But Su Ping didn't dwell on it, nor did he directly point it out. After all, this person was technically his superior.
He smiled and politely said, "As a special secret realm investigator of the Heavenward Inspectorate, I'm also responsible for such matters."
Huang Tianbing seemed to be touched by Su Ping's words and quickly agreed, "With your assurance, I'm relieved. There's indeed one thing that only you can do for the Heavenward Inspectorate, something that others can't accomplish."
Su Ping's eyelids twitched, suspecting that this Overseer of the Heavenward Inspectorate had been waiting for him.
However, Su Ping wasn't the type to say one thing to his face and another behind his back. He directly said, "Just say it, and if I can help, I won't refuse."
Others might not know, but Su Ping was aware that he had gained many benefits within the Heavenward Inspectorate.
In fact, his current rapid advancement to the Elite Peak, less than a year after awakening, was largely due to absorbing numerous scrapped secret realms through his spatial absorption ability.
Huang Tianbing on the phone finally breathed a sigh of relief, then asked a question he had been hesitant to ask a customer service representative:
"Su Ping, do you possess the ability to destroy secret realms or pets?"
This question didn't surprise Su Ping, as he was familiar with the spatial absorption ability.
He wasn't sure if anyone else knew about the existence of this spatial trait.
However, this ability is relatively special, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.
But now, with his current status and connections, Su Ping could afford to reveal a little bit, and it didn't seem like a big deal.
Moreover, it was normal for him to be noticed while absorbing those broken Mystic Realms so publicly.
He nodded:
"That's right."
"In that case, can you help the Heavenward Inspectorate by entering an unstable Mystic Realm with the other members? After extracting the 'investigation materials' from that Mystic Realm, you can also destroy it!"
What about this?
Su Ping was still wondering what it was. He was just worrying about not finding a Mystic Realm to absorb.
The last time he absorbed that bizarre flame Mystic Realm, he directly obtained a brand new spatial trait for the Flame Nurturing Domain, although it was dry, but the production of Flame Fruits also allowed him to taste the sweetness of this Beastmaster Space.
"No problem, just tell me the specific time and information about that Mystic Realm."
Huang Tianbing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To have such a powerful background, yet remain low-key, and also have such cultivation achievements, and not even be the kind of person who looks down on others, was truly rare.
"It's like this, you know the situation of the Heavenward Inspectorate. Collecting Mystic Realm information is one aspect, but after each mission, we will continue to leave it for a while. Although the 'information' has been taken away, a large part of the energy supply has been cut off, but the disappearance of the Mystic Realm, it takes more than a year, and at least a few months.
Among them, there are some special cases, where the energy intensity of the Mystic Realm itself is extremely high, and because of the longer time limit, the highest energy boundary that can be carried is only up to the Monarch Rank, and those above Monarch Rank cannot enter! In any case, you can rest assured!"
Su Ping came back to his senses and smiled slightly:
"Good! When are we setting off? Please let me know in advance!"
Huang Tianbing was delighted in his heart. Not only was a worry finally resolved, but more importantly, with this first cooperation, there would be a second,
As the frequency of Mystic Realm appearances increased over the years, various kinds of bizarre Mystic Realms also appeared more frequently.
"As for the date, the situation on Yan Xun Island is quite serious, so it's best to act as soon as possible. How about three days from now? Moreover, the rules of the Heavenward Inspectorate are always generous to our own people! After this mission, not only will there be a reward of two thousand internal points, but also, with your special advisor status, you can directly take one item from the production of this Mystic Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ping's eyes lit up again.
