Chapter 94: The Negative-Electric Rabbit is so big that one pot can't stew it all, so we'll split it into two pots
Zhang Lingxue produced the certificate of a Tier 5 Poison Master from her Pet Beast Space with a bang.
The golden patterns on the certificate shimmered brilliantly under the light.
Seeing this, Ye Bai's face twitched; she actually carried this kind of thing around with her.
"According to my deductions, those researchers should have all discovered what caused it, and it has a great deal to do with the lightning alfalfa."
"But they should all be powerless against it; these Negative-Electric Rabbits seem to only eat lightning alfalfa."
"Teacher, then I will trouble you to go to the trouble of examining the relationship between the Negative-Electric Rabbits and the lightning alfalfa."
"While you're at it, find out the source of the toxins after a Negative-Electric Rabbit's Self-Destruct, so that we can better continue moving forward."
"I will drag this Negative-Electric Rabbit's carcass down to process it."
"To save it from being an eyesore here."
The Sunflower King very nimbly used its Vine Whip to bundle up the plump, meaty rabbit.
Ye Bai looked at the perfect muscle contours and the blood-red rabbit meat, swallowing his saliva.
This Negative-Electric Rabbit's meat is truly good, it's just that its brain has atrophied a bit; the muscles are still twitching even now, proving this meat is extremely fresh.
"By the way, Ye Bai, we need to catch a few Burrowing Rats from that Burrowing Rat Secret Realm."
"Conduct experiments to see how, besides the Beast Tide, we can research how the mutated Blood-Rage Rat King is produced."
"Only mutated Blood-Rage Rat Kings possess a Mental Power Crystal Core."
In the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm, those high-tier Blood-Rage Rat Kings were all finished off by Zhang Lingxue and President Wang working together.
She discovered that only after mutating could a Blood-Rage Rat King produce a Mental Power Crystal Core, whereas ordinary Blood-Rage Rat Kings appear with a Blood Core.
"Those Mental Power Crystal Cores are extremely useful and can treat some Pet Beast Masters whose mental power has been tainted."
"Every year, there is no small number of Pet Beast Masters who go insane because their mental power is tainted."
"We have found a method to treat them."
"If we can research the mutated Blood-Rage Rat King, it will be a matter of immeasurable merit."
"Even more awesome and meaningful than me pioneering a school of Baibian Can."
"These two are the projects I am mainly researching at the moment."
"The research on Baibian Can has come to a temporary pause; let it be as fate wills."
"Take this Space Key first."
"You go catch a few Burrowing Rats in a while."
"Just keep the Space Key for the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm with you for now."
Ye Bai was stunned: "Teacher, such an important item, you're leaving it with me?"
"What if it gets snatched by someone, or lost?"
Zhang Lingxue rolled her eyes: "The Space Key has already been bound by my mental power; apart from me, no one can snatch it away."
"With just a single thought from me, the Space Key will immediately return to my hand."
"As for unbinding the Space Key, it requires at least twenty-four hours; that time is enough for me to recall the Space Key."
"I will research the toxin aspect first."
"You go catch a few Burrowing Rats, and while you're at it, let your Pet Beast get some exercise."
"But you must be a little careful; there are still Tier 4 Exotic Beasts in the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm."
"Although President Wang and I cleared out most of them last time, there should still be some that slipped through the net."
"These ones that slipped through the net will hate humans very much; if they encounter humans, they will attack regardless of everything. You must be careful and not let it ambush you."
"Once you encounter a Tier 4 Exotic Beast, just hold the Space Key tightly and silently recite 'exit' in your heart."
"You will come out of the Secret Realm."
"However, wherever you exit the Secret Realm from, you will appear at that same location when you enter again."
Zhang Lingxue gave Ye Bai a few words of cautious advice.
After finishing, she went off to busy herself; examining toxins is a huge project, and it is estimated that it will take two or three days before results come out. Toxicity testing is easy, but testing what the toxin is will take a relatively long time.
Ye Bai, meanwhile, took the time to let the Negative-Electric Rabbit die even more peacefully.
Then let's have spicy rabbit head, Kung Pao rabbit cubes, fresh pot rabbit, and boiled rabbit to make the funeral package even more complete.
The Negative-Electric Rabbit is so big that one pot can't stew it all, so we'll split it into two pots.
The rabbit bones that were picked out will be used to make soup.
For the shank meat of the rabbit, Ye Bai carefully removed the white fascia and deep-fried it once in No. 98 vegetable oil.
Slow-stewed over low heat until cooked, added scallions, ginger, garlic, and dried chili, stir-fried over high heat, then added a spoonful of seasoned oil and garlic sprouts—the aroma just shot right up.
Ye Bai picked out a piece to taste the flavor, and his eyes lit up; it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of juices. Sure enough, it tasted extremely delicious.
The spices didn't steal the show; instead, they brought out the fragrance hidden deep within the rabbit meat.
After preparing the dishes, Ye Bai prepared to start the meal—no, to eat the funeral feast.
He placed the black-and-white photo of the Negative-Electric Rabbit, with a hole punched through its head, in the very center of the dining table.
A pair of helpless, dead fish eyes were looking at Ye Bai through the photo frame.
It had passed on, passed on very peacefully, it's just that its eyes were still staring, and there was a hole in the center of its brow.
Zhang Lingxue had come over after smelling the aroma; she picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of double-pepper rabbit meat, and put it into her mouth to feast heartily.
The meat in her mouth had a kind of numbing, tingling pleasure, just like putting a large handful of Sichuan peppercorns into the meat; the more she chewed, the more fragrant it became.
However, when she saw the pale photo frame of the Negative-Electric Rabbit, her gaze suddenly trembled, and the rabbit meat on her chopsticks fell off. She spoke with difficulty: "Ye Bai, this thing, could it be?"
Ye Bai nodded, and he took the opportunity to bring the thick soup made from the rabbit bones to Zhang Lingxue.
"It is that very Negative-Electric Rabbit."
"If we want to benefit the people, we must first taste the flavor of the Negative-Electric Rabbit."
"Furthermore, we still need to research various ways to eat Negative-Electric Rabbits. Once our experiments are successful, we will promote Negative-Electric Rabbits, and the citizens' resistance will be much smaller."
"In the future, our promoted philosophy will be: no Negative-Electric Rabbit can walk out of the West."
Zhang Lingxue heard this, felt it made sense, and ate three big bowls of rice with tears in her eyes.
She planned to go on a diet after finishing this meal, but ultimately concluded that the meat of the Negative-Electric Rabbit was truly delicious.
After being wined and dined, Zhang Lingxue slumped on the sofa in the Breeding House and fell asleep.
Because of the presence of the Snow Dog, the temperature in the Breeding House was kept relatively low, so Ye Bai took a thin blanket and gently covered his teacher with it.
Next, he needed to properly train the Baibian Can and the Charcoal Dog, especially the newly contracted Charcoal Dog.
If the Baibian Can does not use its Clone, it is a defensive Pet Beast.
However, Ye Bai felt that he could also rely entirely on its nearly invincible defensive ability to attack enemies.
As for the Charcoal Dog, there were many more areas that needed training.
Ye Bai called out to Dahui and the Sun Flower King to follow him into the Secret Realm.
The door to the Breeding House was also locked by Ye Bai, and the sign outside was changed to "Closed."
He Guangda hid at a nearby intersection, secretly observing the Fangyuan Breeding House.
A flash of greed crossed his eyes.
After much inquiring, He Guangda had finally found this place.
"To think it moved here."
"The shops at the school entrance are all worth their weight in gold."
"It seems this guy must have gotten a lot of money."
"Haha, originally I just wanted to take back my Sun Stone."
"But seeing you living so well, it wouldn't be excessive for me to take a little more, right?"
He Guangda licked his lips; there were too many eyes around now, so he planned to act at night.
Then he would see if that kid was sensible or not.
If he was sensible, he would let him die quickly; as long as he handled the hands and feet discreetly, the Security Officer shouldn't discover it.
By then, he would take this wealth, flee to another region, and make a comeback.
He Guangda had already made his choice, a fierce light appearing in his eyes; now he just waited for nightfall to begin his move.
He had even prepared his escape route and boat ticket; he intended to stake everything on one throw.
Burrowing Rat Secret Realm.
Ye Bai landed on the grass-covered ground.
The Burrowing Rat is a type of Pet Beast that lives underground; it digs holes everywhere just like a rabbit.
Usually, their temperament is quite docile, but once their reproductive capacity exceeds the burden of the entire Secret Realm, the Burrowing Rats begin to kill each other, and the flesh and blood of the losers become rations for their companions.
After the previous great purge, less than one in ten Burrowing Rats remained in the entire Burrowing Rat Secret Realm.
"What I see now are all First-Order Burrowing Rats. Is there a chance to find a Second-Order Burrowing Rat or a Blood Rage Rat to let the Charcoal Dog practice?"
Ye Bai muttered to himself.
However, Ye Bai felt it was difficult, as a batch of Burrowing Rats here had already been killed by Wang Jinyin.
Ye Bai saw the bleached bones scattered on the ground; each of these skulls was as big as a cow's head.
The rib cages were covered in numerous cracks, showing that these high-order Burrowing Rats had been forcefully killed by Brute Force.
"Sun Flower King, help me catch a few Burrowing Rats for research."
The Sun Flower King extended its roots; these roots suddenly drilled into the ground, and after a short while, a mound of dirt emerged.
Ye Bai saw a large rat covered in stiff hair being dragged out by the Sun Flower King.
This large rat had black fur and a long, thick tail.
It was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws at Ye Bai, its body struggling incessantly.
"Oh ho, is this another branch evolution of the Burrowing Rat?"
Ye Bai smiled.

"This is a pretty good opponent."
"Charcoal Dog, I'll leave it to you."
Not every Exotic Beast has a new evolution route.
Ordinary Exotic Beasts generally top out at the Fourth Order.
The Charcoal Dog rushed out of the Pet Beast Space with great enthusiasm.
It looked at the one-meter-tall Stiff-Haired Black Rat, an excited expression appearing on its face.
Finally, it was time for it to show off its skills.
