Chapter 563: Examination
Chapter 563: Examination
Li Qian followed Gao Han into the Bamboo Grove. From the outside, it didn't seem like much, just a dense expanse of green. However, upon entering, he discovered that the bamboo here was tall and straight, blocking out the sky and shading the ground.
After scanning the surroundings and recalling Gao Han's earlier comments, Li Qian asked curiously, "Gao classmate, there must be more than just one panda beast breeding base in this bamboo grove, right?"
"Of course, not just one," Gao Han replied with a smile. "To be more precise, this entire bamboo grove is a massive panda beast breeding base."
Seeing Li Qian's inquiring gaze, Gao Han continued, "In fact, there are twelve panda beast research bases within this bamboo grove. All the panda beasts are raised here within this grove."
"So, it can be said that there are twelve research bases here, or it can be said that there is just one large, comprehensive research base."
Li Qian's face showed a hint of realization after hearing Gao Han's explanation.
The situation inside the Danya Mystic Realm was quite similar to the Third Secret Realm in the Shazhou Beastmaster University. Both had all the companion beasts raised together, but while the Third Secret Realm had them all in one area, the Danya Mystic Realm had them scattered across different regions.
As they walked and chatted, a "rustling" sound suddenly came from ahead.
Li Qian had already sensed the "culprit" behind the sound, so he wasn't at all on guard. In the Danya Mystic Realm, there was no need for caution.
Pausing for a moment, two adult panda beasts soon rolled out from the bamboo grove.
The two panda beasts played and chased each other, then soon left and disappeared back into the bamboo grove.
"Although panda beasts are quite rare, they are not uncommon in this bamboo grove. Altogether, there are nearly a thousand panda beasts here," Gao Han continued walking while speaking, leading Li Qian past the two playful panda beasts.
Li Qian nodded slightly, saying nothing. Just then, he used his beastmaster talent, the "True Vision Eye," to inspect one of the panda beasts.
Name: Panda Beast
Attributes: None
Rank: Ordinary Tier 3
Potential: Ordinary Tier 9
Skills: Roaring (Proficient), Rolling (Proficient), Bamboo Strike (Beginner)
Although Li Qian had already expected something like this from the information he had read, he was still somewhat surprised when he saw the panda beast.
The attributes of the panda beast were truly not ordinary at all.
It was no wonder that before Professor Luo Yunjie researched its subsequent evolutionary form, it was considered a pet beast for viewing.
Of course, the example of the panda beast also thoroughly proved that there were no wasted materials among companion beasts, only wasted materials among beastmasters.
The more wasted the material of a companion beast, the higher its breeding potential often was. This was true for koi, the crimson feather chicken, and the panda beast as well.
"Observing" the attributes of the panda beast, Li Qian's eyes involuntarily revealed a look of interest.
If there was an opportunity in the future, it might be worth studying.
The two continued walking, and along the way, they encountered more panda beasts, including some Light Pandas and Dark Pandas.
Compared to the panda beasts, both the Light Pandas and Dark Pandas had much higher potential, reaching the Dominator High Rank. This also showed that the breeding potential of panda beasts was quite astonishing.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at a research base.
The research base was surrounded by bamboo fences, and inside were modern glass buildings, each in a semi-circular shape, resembling glass beads embedded in the bamboo grove.
"We've arrived. This is the Yunjie Panda Breeding Facility." Gao Han pointed to the bamboo-fenced building complex and introduced it.
In fact, even without her introduction, Li Qian could already see the large characters "Yunjie Panda Breeding Facility" at the entrance.
"Gao Han mentioned that this is the Yunjie Panda Beast Breeding Facility, but it seems it's actually the Yunjie Breeding Facility. I assume it's primarily focused on breeding Panda Beasts, with other companion beasts as supplementary. It's probably not exclusively for Panda Beasts." Thinking thus, Li Qian followed Gao Han's steps, passed through the iris scanner at the entrance, and entered the facility.
As soon as they entered, a bespectacled girl with a ponytail and a rather spirited air approached them.
Gao Han immediately introduced Li Qian to the spirited girl, "Gong Shijie, this is Li Yuru, a teacher from Shazhou Beastmaster University who has come to exchange insights on Panda Beast breeding."
After introducing Li Qian, Gao Han continued, "Teacher Li, this is Teacher Luo's student, Gong Shujie. Although she's only a PhD candidate, she has immersed herself in Panda Beast research for many years, and her expertise is no less than that of a regular teacher."
From Gao Han's words and the order of his introduction, it was clear that Gong Shujie held a significant position within the Yunjie Breeding Facility.
Li Qian's lips curled slightly at this thought, but he didn't mind it at all.
"Teacher Li, since we've reached our destination, I have other matters to attend to. I'll take my leave now. For the next week, if there's anything I can help with, feel free to ask." After the introduction, Gao Han didn't linger and turned to leave the breeding facility.
Li Qian was a bit puzzled, sensing a hint of fear in Gao Han's hasty departure.
Li Qian smiled and turned to the spirited girl, "Gong, I'll be counting on you all during this time."
"It's no trouble. We're all connected through the Eight Greats, and we should help each other." Gong Shujie replied without arrogance or humility, her attitude unaffected by Li Qian's apparent teacher status.
She spoke with grace, "Teacher Luo is currently away in another dimensional plane for research and won't be able to return for a week. During this time, I and several researchers from the facility will be hosting Teacher Li. We hope you don't mind."
"Teacher Luo should focus on her research, and I'm here to observe the Panda Beasts and also consult some research materials," Li Qian stated his purpose directly.
As soon as Li Qian finished speaking, Gong Shujie immediately responded, "Observing the Panda Beasts or consulting materials is no problem. It's just that we don't know what progress your school has made in Panda Beast research and what issues you've encountered. Why don't you share them, and we can discuss them together."
Li Qian's lips twitched slightly at her words. This girl was interesting, quite proud, and even in her student status, she seemed to be challenging him, a "teacher."
He calmly replied, "Hehe, Gong, to be honest, our Shazhou Beastmaster University has indeed encountered some difficulties in Panda Beast research."
"However, this difficulty may involve deeper secrets related to the evolution of Taiji Pandas, and I'm not sure if it's convenient for you to discuss it."
Gong Shujie confidently replied, "Teacher Li, please ask. I will answer to the best of my knowledge."
