Chapter 23: The New Form of the Baibian Can, the Gloom Butterfly

"My Research Institute is established on the back mountain of Shenshan Middle School, and a portion of the Baibian Can in the Baibian Can breeding farm was provided by me."

"This was the condition the principal set when he asked me to come to Shenshan Middle School to teach."

"Although Shenshan Middle School is a school with a long history, they have not achieved a top-eight finish in the Youlin Cup and Fengchu Cup for a very long time."

"I was once the champion of the 80th Youlin Cup."

"After learning that I had developed the Guangming Nüshen Die, Principal Zhang Dashan was moved and offered a price I could not refuse to poach me."

Although Zhang Lingxue is a faculty member, she has great authority, and apart from necessary teaching, the school does not arrange for her to do other things.

Shenshan Middle School is single-mindedly determined to achieve a good ranking in the Fengchu Cup and Youlin Cup.

Zhang Lingxue had now put on her white lab coat again, wrapping her graceful figure, possessing an ascetic air.

She brought Ye Bai to the heavily guarded Research Institute.

The patrolling robots all had infrared rays on their heads; after scanning the identities of the two, they automatically let them pass.

"I have already entered your data into the system, so these patrolling robots will treat you as one of their own."

"My Research Institute is mainly used to study the evolutionary paths of the Baibian Can."

"According to my current research, the Baibian Can can also evolve into a Gloom Butterfly."

At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air fell from high above and landed in Zhang Lingxue's arms.

This was an incredibly petite black butterfly; its wings were as thin as gauze, like the finest dark-night glaze in the world.

The wings emitted a faint fluorescence in the darkness.

"This is the Gloom Butterfly, and it is also the second Pet Beast I contracted."

"Its trait is the ability to turn invisible in the dark night, and it can share vision, allowing me to have night vision in the dark."

"The Military Department is very interested, and the Night Watcher is also very interested; they want to buy this evolutionary formula of mine."

"The key point now is that the reproducibility experiment won't work!"

"No matter how many times the experiment is repeated, at the critical moment, the Baibian Can will only evolve into a Huidu E."

"Originally, I wanted to have student Li Weiyang help me take a look, but before I could even open my mouth, she was picked up by someone else."

"It is said that she was protected by someone and is not coming back."

Zhang Lingxue told Ye Bai about the current bottleneck in her research.

"This is where I raise the Baibian Can."

As soon as Zhang Lingxue pushed open the door, Ye Bai immediately saw groups of white and plump Baibian Can.

They were eating a very expensive type of feed.

"For the sake of research results, these guys eat better than I do."

The Baibian Can here, both large and small, were each raised very well.

Their bodies were as white as jade and emitted a faint, clean fragrance.

"Let me see where the problem lies."

Incidentally, he also wanted to see the limitations of his own Insight Eye.

He naturally had a standard of judgment in his heart; after absorbing a portion of the essence from the Life Spirit Seed, Ye Bai always felt that the Insight Eye had changed.

If his eyes felt a hint of soreness, he had to stop and could not continue, otherwise, it might affect his eyesight.

Ye Bai opened the Insight Eye.

To avoid being discovered, he had put on colored contact lenses early on.

【Pet Beast Name: Baibian Can】

【Level: lv2 (First Order, Level 2)】

【Skills: Impact, Silk Spitting, Hardening】

【Evolutionary Path: Flame Butterfly, must consume fire-type heavenly treasures to have a chance of evolving; if the evolution fails, it will become a Huidu E.】

【Pet Beast Name: Baibian Can】

【Level: lv2 (First Order, Level 2)】

【Skills: Impact, Silk Spitting, Hardening】

【Evolutionary Path: Huidu E】

Ye Bai checked over a dozen Baibian Can in one breath, and he discovered a problem.

That is, if the Baibian Can's evolution fails, it will fail by evolving into a Huidu E.

And the elemental energy within each Baibian Can is different.

They must consume heavenly treasures with suitable attributes to be guided in the direction of correct evolution.

【Pet Beast Name: Baibian Can】

【Level: lv2 (First Order, Level 2)】

【Skills: Impact, Silk Spitting, Hardening】

【Evolutionary Path: Gloom Butterfly, requires many dark-type heavenly treasures and must evolve at night, otherwise it will become a Huidu E.】

Ye Bai finally saw a Baibian Can capable of evolving into a Gloom Butterfly.

"Teacher, have you tested the attributes within the Baibian Can?"

The genes of the Baibian Can are very complex, with many mutated genes, so testing the elemental energy has become the top priority.

"I know what you want to ask; you want to know if I have done testing, because feeding the wrong, unsuitable materials leads to an incorrect evolution into a Huidu E, right?"

"I have already tested the attributes of every single Baibian Can here."

"The kind of thing you are talking about does not exist." Zhang Lingxue had already thought through every detail she could think of, and had tested them all, but it was still useless.

Instead, it made her thoughts chaotic and tangled, becoming even more troublesome.

Even if she identified a Baibian Can with dark attributes this way, she would not dare to proceed.

"By the way, Teacher, why is there not a single person in this Research Institute?"

Ye Bai walked around in a circle, and seeing not a single shadow of a person, he asked curiously.

"My place here uses intelligent management, and I use robots for everything."

"After all, the more people there are, the easier it is for rats to sneak in; if they were to steal my research results, I would cry to death."

Ye Bai nodded; it seemed that Teacher trusted him one hundred percent, which was why she brought him here.

"This is my research data on the Gloom Butterfly. Take a look and see if you have any additions; I have also included cases of failed evolution. Look at it carefully and tell me if you find anything."

"I have been staying up late continuously and am a bit tired, so I am going to get some sleep first."

The Class Teacher let out a deep yawn and walked toward the lounge.

Ye Bai took out the Class Teacher's experimental records and began flipping through them quickly.

After a short while, he closed the book.

That was right; he already knew why Zhang Lingxue's research had failed, because the time she chose was wrong.

It was missing the factor of nighttime.

This was the reason for the failure.

Seeing the large number of Baibian Can eating their food and making a rustling sound, Ye Bai also smiled.

Zhang Lingxue woke up after sleeping for an hour.

She walked out, full of energy: "Ye Bai, did you make any major discoveries?"

This was equivalent to an assessment of Ye Bai by Zhang Lingxue; if Ye Bai could not answer, he would lose points in Zhang Lingxue's impression of him.

Ye Bai naturally did not want to leave a bad impression in the eyes of the Class Teacher.

"Teacher, I actually did find a key point."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingxue was immediately invigorated.

"Tell me your thoughts."

Ye Bai already had the answer, so he naturally had to use the answer to work backward through what he was about to say.

He pondered for a moment and said to Zhang Lingxue: "Teacher, regarding the evolution of the Gloom Butterfly, do you think the environment has any special significance?"

"For example, the evolution might need to happen at night; I discovered that your data is missing a consideration for the environment."
