Chapter 14 Waste Pet Research Institute
Because the treatment might take more than a month, Li Qian neither had nor could he continue to wait in the hospital.
Moreover, when he learned that although the garfish's injuries were serious, its life was no longer in danger, he finally put his heart at ease.
After leaving the hospital, Li Qian chose to return to the artificial waterfall on his bicycle to continue training Qizi and Afu.
As the research progress is getting closer to completion, they have to speed up their skills training.
Fortunately, Qizi was more motivated and ambitious. Not only did he practice diligently himself, he also supervised and forced Ah Fu to train hard as well.
Li Qian still likes this kind of healthy competition within the team. This fine tradition must be maintained.
After going back and forth to the hospital and being delayed, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening when we returned to the artificial waterfall.
Knowing that Qizi was probably also worried about the situation of the garfish, Li Qian reported to it that he was safe as soon as he arrived.
Qizi is indeed a pet that has developed the waterfall climbing skill by itself, and its IQ is obviously higher than that of Afu.
After understanding what Li Qian meant and knowing that the garfish had been properly treated, he was no longer worried and once again devoted all his attention to training his waterfall climbing skills.
Seeing that the two fish were fully devoted to training, Li Qian did not waste time. He continued to learn breeding knowledge and took out his tablet to check it.
Just then, he noticed that someone had created a thread on a breeder forum website to discuss the evolution of koi.
Although he knew that the Internet was a mixed bag, with many people who were just filling in the gaps and few who were truly talented and capable, Li Qian still started browsing it with the idea of trying his luck.
The replyers said all sorts of things.
Some people directly deny that there is a fixed evolutionary path between koi and blue-scaled dragons, and believe that the evolution we see now is just an individual case under extreme circumstances.
What you said makes sense.
Although Li Qian did not agree with their views, he at least felt that these people were of some level.
Some of the replies are pure nonsense.
They think that in order for Koi to evolve into a Green Scale Dragon, it needs to consume Green Scale Grass.
This is because the Qinglin Jiao's name contains the word "Qinglin", so Qinglin grass must be used.
What is the logic?
Name logic?
Li Qian couldn't help laughing when he saw this kind of replies.
If breeding pets can be accomplished by guessing, what is the need for breeders?
Ignoring these "amazing replies", Li Qian continued to scroll down and browse.
When he scrolled to the end, he found that there were not many valuable replies. After thinking about it, he started to operate on his tablet and replied to a post.
"The attributes of the Green Scaled Dragon are water and wind. Personally, I think that the evolution of the Koi requires not only dragon-type resources, but also wind-type resources."
As soon as his reply appeared, a lot of comments popped up below.
One of them is quite interesting.
"Why are there dragon-type resources and wind-type resources, instead of both dragon-type and wind-type resources?"
The reason why it is not the dragon and wind dual system is because he has found the blood orchid potion and dragon bone powder.
But he didn't mean to type out an explanation.
Just as he was about to close the forum, a message suddenly appeared in the background of the forum, and it was a message to add a friend, which caught Li Qian's attention.
After thinking about it, Li Qian gave his Sixun number.
The next moment, a friend request message popped up in Sixun, and the other party’s name was “Tuntun is not a pig”.
This name is quite interesting.
Tuntun, a pig-like pet, is one of the "four wastes" in the pet world, along with koi, turkeys, and bulb moths.
This person's name is "Tuntun is not a pig", so he should know something about Tuntun.
Moreover, Li Qian discovered that this "Tuntun is not a pig" was the poster of the post about the evolution of koi on the forum. With a sneer, thinking that no one could fool him, Li Qian agreed to the friend request.
After passing, Tuntun is not a pig sent a message immediately: "Hello, I saw your reply on the forum, and I think your research on koi evolution is very insightful. I would like to invite you to join our pet research group."
From his simple one-line reply, one can tell that he is "very insightful". I have to say, this pig is not a pig and has good vision.
Hearing about the pet research group, Li Qian was a little curious, so he asked, "What pet research group?"
Tuntun is not a pig. Instead of answering his question directly, he pulled him into a group.
Group name: Waste Pet Research Institute.
This name is quite intuitive.
After thinking about it, Li Qian simply changed his group nickname: Koi is not fish.
The couplet is neat and symmetrical with "豚豚不是猪", which is also in line with the style of this group.
Just the moment Li Qian changed the group nickname, a message was sent in the group.
Ha Wolf is not a dog: "Newcomer, Bao Zhao, Bao Zhao!"
Li Qian silently clicked on the profile picture of Ha Lang Bu Shi Gou and looked at it, then quickly typed two words: "Male."
Mr. Fox: "Men are also OK."
Yaogezi: "Get lost, all men belong to me. Little brother, how old are you, how tall are you, do you have eight-pack abs?"
Li Qian: “…”
Did I join the wrong group?
Isn't this a waste pet research institute? Why do I feel like I've entered a LSP nest?
Tuntun is not a pig: "Everyone, please be reserved and restrained, don't scare the newcomers away."
“@Koi is not a fish, we are just kidding you, you are welcome.”
Li Qian: "This welcome ceremony is quite special."
Lao Yang next door: "Welcome to the Waste Pet Research Institute. The main purpose of our group is to study the evolution of pets, especially those pets that are mistakenly considered to be waste pets."
"I'm Lao Yang, and my main research area is tumbling crocodiles."
Finally, there's a normal person.
However, this guy's research object, the tumbling crocodile, seems to be a big pit.
This thing is not much better than the "four wastes".
The only evolved type, the "Wading Crocodile", has a potential of only elite level eight, and the cost of evolution is very high. The cost of evolving a wading crocodile is enough to buy a pet with low potential, so the cost-effectiveness of the evolution is very low.
After thinking about it, Li Qian typed a line of words.
"Hello everyone, my name is Koi, I am interested in Koi, please take care of me in the future."
A decent introduction.
Jumping Corpse Fairy: "Koi, this thing is really a rip-off. Although there is an evolved Green Scale Dragon, I still don't understand how it evolves."
"Koi, have you figured out anything?"
Li Qian thought about it and then gave a reply, "I have gained something, but I am stuck on a problem."
Mr. Fox: "What's the problem?"
Li Qian did not hide anything and directly stated the biggest dilemma he was facing. "After a period of research, I have roughly found several key factors for the evolution of Koi. I can be sure that its evolution requires not only Dragon resources, but also Wind resources. At present, I have basically tested the Dragon resources, but I have no idea about the Wind resources."
"Perhaps I can give you some help with this question." Li Qian's words had just been sent out when Tuntun bu shi zhu gave a direct reply the next moment.
Li Qian saw her reply. Although he didn't think she could really help him, he still accepted the favor. "Thank you very much, Tuntun."
