Chapter 613: Different Places (First Update)
Research has made progress? Qiao Sang was initially stunned, then asked excitedly:
"Where has it progressed to?"
Liu Yao's voice was filled with joy:
"We discovered that when Fangflare's Energy Level exceeds the Beginner Beast's limit, and its intimacy with the Beastmaster reaches an unusually high level, the most important factor is that Fangflare must suppress its Evolution during its first transformation. This results in a different energy fluctuation compared to when it Evolves into Blazefang."
So, Fangy's suppression of its Evolution was a crucial step in Evolving into Flame Listener... This seems to align with my initial guess, except for the suppression condition... If I were still on Blue Star, the research might have progressed faster... Qiao Sang couldn't help but affirm himself internally.
Liu Yao continued:
"However, Fangflare only exhibited a different energy fluctuation compared to Evolving into Blazefang, but it didn't successfully Evolve into Flame Listener. This led us to believe that there must be a missing link in the process."
"Later, we conducted further tests and found that exceeding the 10,000 Energy Level limit was not the issue."
"As for the intimacy with the Beastmaster, it didn't seem to be a significant factor either."
"The key influence lies in the suppression of Evolution."
Qiao Sang: "..."
So, it seems the research would have progressed similarly with or without me... Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment before asking:
"So, it hasn't been fully figured out yet?"
"Let me finish", Liu Yao said with a smile:
"We conducted multiple studies, selecting ten Fangflares without a Beastmaster to suppress their first Evolution. In every case, the energy fluctuation remained unchanged, and they all Evolved into Blazefang."
"Later, we selected ten Fangflares with a Beastmaster and had them suppress their first Evolution. Thirteen of them exhibited a different energy fluctuation compared to Evolving into Blazefang."
"Of course, none of them successfully Evolved into Flame Listener."
"Interestingly, the thirteen Fangflares that showed the different energy fluctuation didn't all have a harmonious relationship with their Beastmaster. One of them even had a very low intimacy level, yet its energy still fluctuated."
"So, we hypothesize that Flame Listener's Evolution is not related to intimacy but is definitely connected to the Beastmaster."
Not related to intimacy, yet connected to the Beastmaster... This is so complex... Is there such an Evolution condition? Qiao Sang began to doubt his understanding once again.
"We conducted several more experiments with dozens of Fangflares with a Beastmaster and finally found the key", Liu Yao explained:
"Fangflares with unusual feelings towards their Beastmaster, whether extreme dislike or extreme trust, seem to suppress their energy to an extremely high concentration during the first Evolution suppression."
"Once this concentration is reached, a different energy fluctuation is detected compared to Evolving into Blazefang."
Qiao Sang suddenly understood:
"So, Fangflare's feelings towards the Beastmaster play a crucial role during the first Evolution suppression!"
"That's correct", Liu Yao agreed, impressed by Qiao Sang's summary.
Then he thought of something and his tone became serious:
"However, there is still a problem."
"What is it?" Qiao Sang asked, matching his tone.
"These Fangflare haven't Evolved into Flame Listener either", Liu Yao said gravely.
"I'm certain that the Evolution of Flame Listener is closely related to suppressing Evolution, but it seems there's still a missing condition that triggers their Evolution into Flame Listener."
"The main reason I called you this time is to ask if there was anything different about your Fangflare at the time, or if you noticed any particular point where it was different from other Fangflare?"
Qiao Sang instinctively glanced at Fangy, who was practicing Meditation with ten Clones.
Feeling her Beastmaster's gaze, Fangy opened its eyes and looked over.
It had trained to multitask to practice with its Clones and the original, so it had naturally heard both its Beastmaster and the voice on the phone.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy called out excitedly, indicating it knew what was different.
Then, it proudly lifted its head and struck a cool pose.
The difference was that it was particularly handsome!
Qiao Sang's lips twitched at the sight, but she quickly regained her composure.
If there was a difference, there really was one... Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds before speaking.
"Fangy Evolved when it was only three months old. Does that count?"
Fangflare typically Evolve at around one year, which is already considered very talented. Fangy Evolving at just three months was definitely something other Fangflare couldn't achieve under normal circumstances.
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line, and she could sense the Vice Principal's breathing becoming rapid.
The call was then abruptly disconnected.
Just as Qiao Sang was bewildered, her mobile phone vibrated again.
The caller ID showed it was the Vice Principal again.
Qiao Sang quickly answered.
Before she could ask if the signal had been poor, Liu Yao spoke rapidly and excitedly.
"You're right! We've ruled out many possibilities, but we never considered the age factor. All the Fangflare in the study that were close to Evolving were over a year old. If your guess is correct, you will be the hero of this research!"
Without waiting for a response, he hung up again, as if unable to wait to do something important.
Qiao Sang: "..."
She hadn't seen the Vice Principal so excited in a long time... As she marveled, she continued to browse the credit exchange menu.
...
Blue Star.
Yuhua Region.
Hanggang City, Zhehai Province.
Inside the research facility, Liu Yao hurriedly walked down the corridor and pushed open a heavy, white, soundproof door.
"We never even thought of this!" Liu Yao shouted excitedly to the people inside.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him, including several Fangflare.
Liu Yao's eyes gleamed as he looked at everyone. "I just called Qiao Sang, and she provided a direction we had never considered before."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they eagerly asked:
"What is it?"
"Exactly what?"
"Age!" Liu Yao took a deep breath. "Her Fangflare Evolved when it was only three months old."
The research room fell silent.
Liu Yao looked at their expressions and seemed to understand something. He added:
"I can guarantee this age. I saw Qiao Sang's Fangflare before it Evolved into a Flame Listener, and it was indeed three months old."
Everyone exchanged glances.
After a few seconds of silence, the oldest man in the room spoke gravely:
"Suppressing Evolution is manageable, and finding a Fangflare with a special bond to its Beastmaster isn't impossible. But adding the condition of Evolving at just three months is something we might not be able to find."
Liu Yao fell silent.
