Chapter 182 Defects, Human Figure

Li Qian's guess was not wrong, because then he saw Sun Hongyi throwing several more materials towards the location of the Golden Pearl Bud.

Fortunately, although most of these are life-related materials, they are not very precious and are still within his financial means.

Just when Li Qian thought that all the conditions for evolution had been met, Sun Hongyi made another move. He looked at the Tidal Sea Spirit Ahai and suddenly waved his hand.

Following his wave, the emperor-level tidal sea spirit Ahai once again uttered that sobbing sound.

Amid its whimpering cry, there was a splash and the second golden bead bud suddenly floated to the surface of the water.

Seeing this, Li Qian did not say anything, but stared quietly. He wanted to see what other conditions were needed to achieve evolution.

Soon he saw a rather strange scene.

The golden pearl bud that appeared later suddenly opened its shell, and then, in Li Qian's surprised gaze, it actually offered the golden pearl that was bred in its shell.

The golden bead bud that had already emitted the light of evolution did not hesitate and directly swallowed the golden bead offered by the golden bead bud that appeared behind it.

After swallowing the second golden bead, the changes of this golden bead bud suddenly intensified. Li Qian could see that the evolutionary light of this golden bead bud suddenly became stronger.

Seeing the golden pearl buds begin to evolve, Li Qian has completely understood why Sun Hongyi called him over tonight.

It was precisely because he understood the reason that a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

In his opinion, there was no need for Sun Hongyi to demonstrate this way. In fact, all he needed to do was give him the evolutionary information.

After all, this evolution demonstration consumed a lot of energy, especially the golden bead bud that appeared later. Although its life would not be in danger after losing the golden bead in its body, a decline in strength was inevitable.

It will probably take a long time to recover.

Unable to figure it out, Li Qian simply stopped thinking about it and continued to watch intently.

In his sight, the light of evolution on the Golden Pearl Bud became more and more intense, and finally the light of evolution almost enveloped its entire body.

The rich light of evolution expanded rapidly, and finally formed a human-shaped light cocoon more than two meters tall.

The human-shaped light cocoon did not last long and soon collapsed. After the light of evolution faded, a second tidal sea spirit suddenly appeared on the surface of the water in the small bay.

When Li Qian saw this scene, his eyes widened slightly. Although this scene was within his expectations, seeing it with his own eyes still made him feel a little unbelievable.

He continued to stare, and after careful observation, he still found something strange. This newly appeared tidal sea spirit was slightly different in appearance from the tidal sea spirit Ahai that had a contract with Sun Hongyi, but the difference was not big.

Of course, this difference was also within Li Qian's expectations. After all, Sun Hongyi's Tidal Sea Spirit was not an ordinary Tidal Sea Spirit, but a Tidal Sea Spirit with slight mutations.

“As you can see, this is how the Tidal Sea Spirit evolved.” After the evolution was completed, Sun Hongyi turned his head to look at Li Qian and spoke in a complicated tone.

Li Qian nodded after hearing this, took over the topic and continued to ask: "How long can its evolutionary form last?"

Based on the previous understanding, which is actually the content above the article, Li Qian knew that at this moment, the evolution of this tidal sea spirit was only a temporary evolution. In fact, this evolution was not stable and could not last long.

"Not sure. If it's long, it can last about half an hour. If it's short, it can only last about ten minutes." Sun Hongyi sighed, and then said helplessly.

Li Qian nodded and didn't say much. He continued to observe attentively.

On the water surface of the small bay, the two tidal sea spirits also did not make any unnecessary movements. Their expressions were very calm, and it was obvious that they had experienced this kind of thing many times.

Time passed slowly, and finally after about twenty minutes, new changes appeared on the Tidal Sea Spirit that evolved later.

I saw a faint light emanating from its body, the light became brighter and brighter, and finally there were signs of a light cocoon forming again.

After the light faded, the Tidal Sea Spirit could no longer maintain its evolved form and instantly disintegrated, returning to the form of a golden bead bud.

The Golden Pearl Bud before its evolution reappeared. Li Qian raised his eyebrows and soon discovered that the Golden Pearl Bud was in a very bad condition at this moment, and the whole pet was visibly tired.

Li Qian estimated that by now, the energy in its body should have been exhausted, and it was almost just an empty shell.

"It's a bit of a pity, but judging from the current situation, Golden Pearl Bud should be not far from fully evolving into a Tidal Sea Spirit."

After watching the evolution of the Golden Pearl Bud to the Tidal Sea Spirit, Li Qian fell into deep thought. After a moment's contemplation, he speculated and said, "I think the reason why the evolution still failed is probably just some minor problems in the details."

These small problems in the details are simple to talk about, but it is not easy to make up for them. After all, there are more than one or two details involved in this evolutionary process.

In addition, there was a sentence that Li Qian kept in his heart and did not say it out loud. He also didn't know how to say it because it had no basis.

He always felt that the way the Golden Pearl Bud absorbed the golden pearls of its companions to start evolving was a bit strange and not like the way an orthodox pet should evolve.

Of course, Li Qian’s guess may be wrong, and the evolution of Golden Pearl Bud may really be based on the sacrifice of its companions.

This reminded Li Qian of a certain anime from an island country on Earth in his previous life. In the anime, a pair of eyes had to absorb the pupil power of their loved ones in order to unlock a higher level of ability.

"What do you think might be the detailed flaws in this evolutionary process?" Sun Hongyi nodded. Li Qian's understanding coincided with his judgment, so he simply followed Li Qian's words and asked directly.

After hearing this, Li Qian shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "Professor Sun, you think too highly of me!"

Li Qian didn't think he had the ability to tell where the evolutionary flaws were just by watching a Golden Pearl Bud evolve into a Tidal Sea Spirit.

"Alas, I took it for granted." Sun Hongyi sighed and shook his head in frustration. This problem has troubled him for a long time, but unfortunately, he has not found a solution. "Don't worry, Third Uncle, with Li Qian's participation and the wisdom of both of you, I believe that this problem can be solved in no time." Sun Ruirui stood nearby and also witnessed all this. She clenched her fist and made a gesture of encouragement.

"I thought so too." Li Qian looked at the cute and lovely Sun Ruirui, smiled, and then agreed.

Sun Hongyi watched the interaction between the two, his mouth twitched. After a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "I have also seen the evolution process of the Golden Pearl Bud to the Tidal Sea Spirit. Do you still insist on communicating now?"

"You can continue the communication. I have no objection." Li Qian said with a smile.

Although he did not give any constructive suggestions, his words were full of confidence.

What he meant was... it wouldn't be long before he would be able to make up for this evolutionary defect and fully evolve into a Tidal Sea Spirit.

This is indeed the case. Now, both of his task bars are occupied and he cannot create new pet research tasks.

After completing one of the tasks and freeing up the task bar, you can create a new pet research task. Then, you can rely on the guidance of the task to easily complete this evolution task, which may already be very complete.

"Ahai, thank you for your hard work tonight. Please take Jinzhu Beilei with you." After receiving Li Qian's reply, Sun Hongyi waved his hand and said to the Tidal Sea Spirit on the water.

The Tidal Sea Spirit made a whimpering sound, responded, and then led the Golden Pearl Bud into the water.

After giving the order and waiting for Tidal Sea Spirit and Golden Pearl Bud to enter the water, he focused his attention on Li Qian again, "It's already late today, you should go back and rest early. I will give you the evolution data of the lava worm tomorrow morning."

At the end of his words, he added, "By the way, after you get the information, don't stay here, leave quickly."

After hearing this, Li Qian looked at Sun Ruirui next to him and gave a helpless smile. This guy was obviously treating him like a big bad wolf and was on guard against him.

"Third Uncle..." Sun Ruirui was not stupid and quickly understood the hidden meaning in these words. After hearing the hidden meaning of Sun Hongyi, a blush immediately appeared on her face and she called out in annoyance.

Seeing this, Li Qian touched his nose helplessly. He really wanted to explain that he was really not the kind of young man who messed around in society.

However, it seems that Sun Hongyi's ideas about himself are deeply rooted. Li Qian estimated that it was useless to explain, so he simply kept silent.

Having witnessed the evolution of a Golden Pearl Bud into a Tidal Sea Spirit, even though it had flaws and was not maintained, Li Qian still felt that he had gained a lot.

At least, at this moment, he was full of confidence in making up for the evolutionary deficiencies and evolving into a complete Tidal Sea Spirit. He even felt that it would not take long to complete this evolution.

"Li Qian, don't listen to what Third Uncle says." After the three of them got off the Red Bridge, Sun Ruirui said to Li Qian a little embarrassedly, "My Third Uncle was just joking with you. You can stay in this Red Bridge Manor as long as you want!"

After hearing this, Li Qian glanced at Sun Hongyi to see his reaction. When he saw his meaningful look, he immediately backed down.

This guy must be obsessed with his niece!
The pretty and lovely girl in front of him, Sun Ruirui, did meet his aesthetic standards, but she was not so beautiful as to be heartbreaking.

Li Qian didn't want to be targeted by Sun Hongyi, an emperor-level beastmaster, because of her. Who knows if he would do the same as Xu Yue and secretly trip him up.

So when he was walking back, he directly refused: "Well, I came to Zhonghai City this time for other things. Tomorrow, after completing the communication, I have to leave here."

Not far away, Sun Hongyi heard this and glanced at Li Qian with a look of "you're sensible" in his eyes.

Sun Ruirui was a very smart girl and she quickly realized what was going on. She turned her head to look at Sun Hongyi, who immediately put on an innocent look.

Seeing this, Li Qian couldn't help but complain in his heart that this guy's acting skills might not be inferior to his training level.

The three of them walked back, and soon they arrived outside the room where Li Qian was staying temporarily. Sun Ruirui stopped, smiled sweetly, and looked at Li Qian, "Li Qian, then you should go to bed early."

At the end of the conversation, he whispered two more words, "Good night."

"Good night." Li Qian replied with the same two words, then pushed open the door and walked in.

After sending Li Qian back to his room, the uncle and nephew continued to walk back. They were still a little distance away from where they lived. Halfway through, Sun Hongyi suddenly asked, "Girl, do you have feelings for him?"

Sun Ruirui was stunned for a moment after hearing this. After a moment, she smiled and responded, "He is a very interesting person."

The girl neither denied nor confirmed what she said, but Sun Hongyi, who was familiar with her personality, frowned slightly.

He looked at his niece and said gently, "But you should know your situation clearly. Before you are cured, you can't live like an ordinary girl... Alas!"

Sun Ruirui looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and her voice was filled with longing, "Third Uncle, I know my situation. I just have a little desire."

After hearing this, Sun Hongyi showed a distressed look on his face. He said with a firm gaze, "Don't worry, Third Uncle will definitely find a way to solve your problem."

When he returned to the room, Li Qian looked at the time and found that it was indeed late, almost twelve o'clock. He did not delay any longer. He simply washed up and went to bed. Not long after, he fell asleep.

At night, there was a sudden noise outside the window. Li Qian had fallen asleep, but the noise did not disappear immediately, but continued.

Li Qian woke up in a daze because of the continuous rustling sound. His vision was hazy, but he seemed to see vaguely that there seemed to be a figure standing outside the window.

Li Qian was startled when he saw the figure. The figure just stood there outside the window, looking a little scary. His sleepiness disappeared instantly.

What is this?
After getting over the initial shock and horror, Li Qian quickly calmed down. After all, this was Sun Hongyi's manor, and there must be pets in the manor.

It seems normal for some humanoid pets to appear.
