"Um..." Ming Zhu was puzzled, "Wang Ye, why does your pet bird seem to be hostile towards me?"
She had had this feeling just now but had thought it was an illusion.
Now that they were in close contact, especially when Wang Ye shook hands with her, the hostility seemed to be even more obvious.
Wang Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Then I roughly know what you look like."
"Huh? No, what does that have to do with anything?" Ming Zhu looked confused.
She felt that she couldn't keep up with the other party's train of thought.
"This bird of mine has a problem," Wang Ye said seriously, "It has a characteristic that will make it show different emotions to different humans. The more beautiful the person is, the more intense its emotions will be. The more ordinary the person looks, the calmer it will be."
"Huh? There's such a characteristic?" Ming Zhu was dumbfounded.
Wang Ye turned Xiao Jiu towards Tang Xiong and said, "If you don't believe me, look."
Xiao Jiu turned its head away, not reacting at all.
Tang Xiong was speechless.
The veins on Tang Xiong's temples bulged.
Wang Ye then held Xiao Jiu and aimed its head at himself.
"Chirp chirp!" Xiao Jiu flapped its wings and let out high-pitched cries.
Stay away from this human woman!
"It seems that I'm also very handsome," said Wang Ye.
"..." Ming Zhu.
"..." Everyone.
Ming Zhu laughed.
It was hard to say whether such a characteristic was true or not, but this person was indeed interesting.
"You want a reward, right?" Ming Zhu looked at Wang Ye and smiled, her eyes a beautiful crescent shape, "Your pet is the green sparrow and is currently at level 2, so it'll probably have to evolve soon. The mainstream evolution path of the green sparrow is very ordinary. My teacher back in university is a very powerful bird-type pet scholar. She has three very rare evolution paths for the green sparrow. In place of big sister Lin's reward this time, I can tell you what they are and provide you with some materials. What do you think?"
Evolution path? Materials?
Wang Ye's eyes lit up as he said, "So tell me in detail."
"Tang Xiong, bring the two of them to the pantry for a chat," Lin Rou nodded slightly. "I'll train the rest of the investigators."
"Okay!"
--
In the pantry of the Investigation Corps headquarters.
"Currently, there are only two main evolution paths for the green sparrow. Their final evolution forms are the Supreme class gale sparrow and the green mist eagle respectively, which are both pure sky-type pets. There's no need for me to say much about that."
When they arrived at the pantry, Ming Zhu was very responsible as she immediately began to speak with confidence.
Wang Ye nodded. He knew a little about this.
Evolution was something that pets had to experience.
The research on the evolution paths was a core secret of the various countries.
After all, the highest combat strength of the pets was related to the strength of the country.
Evolution was usually divided into stages.
Level two pets could evolve once, then another time at level four and level six respectively.
But in fact, it depended on the growth of the pet.
"My mentor... Well, she has probably developed three more evolution paths based on this foundation with many other scholars. One of the paths has been announced, while the other two have not. Let's talk about the first one first."Ming Zhu took out her phone and pulled out the information.
"For the first path, the final evolution form is the azure flame dragon sparrow. At its best, it can reach Emperor second-class and will be fused with some of the earth dragon bloodline as well as the power of fire. The difficulty of this evolution oath is high. However, it possesses very strong combat strength, fire, and sky attributes. It has a wide range of attacks and few weaknesses. Because of the earth dragon bloodline, its constitution can grow up to A-grade at most, and its spiritual energy and strength are not weak either. But also because of the earth dragon bloodline, its Soul growth will be affected and is relatively low."
Ming Zhu gave the information.
[Evolution Route: Green sparrow → green flame sparrow → azure flame dragon sparrow]
[Ability Requirements: when evolving to level two, the green sparrow's six dimensions must be E-grade and above, its constitution and spiritual energy growth must reach E+. The skill Feather Cut must be in the proficient Realm. The green sparrow will have to take a Yanluo fruit and three stalks of Qingyan herb. After activating the beast vein at level four, the pet will have to take a part of the flame emperor dragon's heart to activate the dragon flame beast vein, and evolve into the azure flame dragon sparrow.]
[Evolution Difficulty: High.]
[Race Skill: Advanced skill, Flame Dragon Storm Slash, Flame Spirit Breath.]
There were more detailed descriptions below. Some were intermittent as if they had been encrypted.
The final evolution form could reach Emperor second-class.
Compared to the Supreme class gale sparrow and the green mist eagle, they were much stronger.
Wang Ye took a look at the appearance of the azure flame dragon sparrow and could only say that it was alright.
But he felt that it did not have much to do with the final evolution form that he had set for the green sparrow in the simulation, so there was no need for him to look further on because the materials were not needed anyway.
"You're not interested?" Ming Zhu took out another set of information, "The second and third types have not been made public yet because the difficulty of evolution is too high. For the second evolution path, the final evolution form is the Overlord second-class divine great roc."
"Sounds domineering," Wang Ye nodded.
"It's a giant pet that can grow up to 100 meters tall and is the overlord of the sky!" Ming Zhu said in a low voice. "But this evolution path is very difficult. The difficulty is no less than making a white carp evolve into a sea dragon."
The evolvement of a white carp into a sea dragon could be considered an evolution path that everyone was familiar with.
However, it belonged to the type that even if one knew about it, it would be useless because one simply couldn't do it.
The requirements were too high.
The materials were one aspect, but the requirements for the various skills were even more ridiculous.
Just like how the textbooks could describe the principle of creating mushrooms, but in reality, it was quite impossible for anybody to create them.
"The divine great roc is an Overlord class pet while the green sparrow is only an Otherworldly class, spanning three classes," Ming Zhu shrugged, "So you can imagine the difficulty. It doesn't have many weaknesses at all. Among its six dimensions, the one with the highest growth is its strength, which can reach S-grade. Even the level two evolved form, the wind orc, is a Supreme first-class pet. Just the evolution from the green sparrow to the wind orc requires the green sparrow to learn an advanced sky-type skill and make it reach the proficient realm... Though, the divine great roc is not only a sky-type pet. Its secondary attribute is the darkness-type, which is what we often call dark-type pets. It's very rare. Dark-type pets have a very strong resistance against the power of strangeness of strange gods. Although the dark-type attribute is only secondary for the roc that will only have a little bit of dark energy in its body, it's enough to greatly increase the divine great roc's abilities. Of course, among bird-type pets, the green sparrow isn't the only one that can evolve into a divine great roc. However, it's most difficult for the green sparrow because its starting point is too low."
Wang Ye nodded and listened attentively.
"The last evolution path is the soul sonic sparrow. It's a sky-type pet that specializes in support, and has a soul-type attribute as its secondary attribute, so the difficulty is even higher. In terms of rarity, it's on par with the divine great roc. It can emit all sorts of beautiful soul sounds, giving other pets and beastmasters all sorts of buffs, and it also has quite a strong offensive ability. Your green sparrow is very outstanding," At this point, Ming Zhu paused for a moment before continuing, "You can consider the latter two, but the difficulty will be very high. The probability of failure in the level two evolution will thus be very high. If the green sparrow fails, you'll have to advance it to level four before it can evolve again. On top of that, without a level two evolution, the green sparrow will be much weaker than the other pets in the early stages."
Wang Ye fell into deep thought.
Among these three evolution paths, the latter two were especially strong, but they were definitely not something an ordinary green sparrow could do.
For Ming Zhu to say them out loud could be considered her approval of Xao Jiu.
It was probably impossible for an ordinary beastmaster to come into contact with these two types of evolution.
"Can there only be one secondary attribute?"Wang Ye pondered, "Can't there be two?"
"Two?" Ming Zhu was slightly taken aback, "Added with the green sparrow's primary attribute, that would make it three... Umm..."
"For example, light and fire," Wang Ye casually asked.
"That's basically impossible..." Ming Zhu rubbed her forehead, "Different secondary attributes require different materials. For example, the green sparrow was originally only of the sky attribute that represents the power of the wind. It would already be very difficult to swallow materials of other attributes. They would conflict with each other easily, especially before the beast vein is opened. That's why the three evolution paths I mentioned are very difficult. If another secondary attribute is added, the conflict would be even more intense. The pet would literally be unable to absorb the energy from the materials. If they can't absorb it, then evolution would just be empty talk. Moreover, light is the purest attribute. It's almost impossible to fuse with other attributes. Unless they're born with it, the other sky-type pets won't even be able to absorb light-type energy from the light-type materials."
Ming Zhu shook her head helplessly.
"I see."
At this moment, Wang Ye suddenly thought of Xiao Jiu's orange characteristic.
[Golden Flame Spiritual Bird]
If it was Xiao Jiu, it didn't seem impossible!
