At the time, his own strength was still too weak, even with a certain amount of security provided by the Beast Taming Association, his situation was still not safe enough.
Shaking his head, he forcefully suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and Lin Su turned his gaze towards Qiuqiu, who was standing nervously on the side, poking its little claws together, secretly looking at him. He sighed softly.
If he said he didn’t blame Qiuqiu at all, that would be a lie.
It was only after Qin Nan explained the situation that Lin Su realized that this little fool had walked right into the trap, presenting itself as a brand new initial species, and had even submitted a photograph…
Thinking about it, Lin Su couldn’t help but laugh and feel angry at the same time.
Wasn’t this walking right into a trap?
Lin Su had thought of this method too, but him submitting it and Qiuqiu submitting it were completely different matters, especially since Qiuqiu had just started using Blue Star’s technological products, didn’t understand many things, and was using an unverified visitor account from the Beast Taming Association.
With his identity as a researcher, many things would have been much simpler.
Fortunately, luck was on his side because the nearest auditor this time was still Qin Nan. If it had been someone else…
Wait a second…
If it had been another auditor, they normally wouldn’t have busted down his door, right?!
Lin Su covered his face, speechlessly wondering what to say.
Through the telepathy of the Beast Taming Space, he could clearly feel the nervousness and anxiety in Qiuqiu’s heart at that moment.
This time, it had indeed caused a big trouble.
Let it go.
Feeling the little guy’s nervous emotions, Lin Su didn’t have the heart to scold it anymore.
Holding Qiuqiu’s little claw, he gently pulled Qiuqiu in front of him, stroked its little head, and looked at Qiuqiu’s somewhat anxious expression as he gently asked, “Why did you think of submitting as an initial supernatural species?”
This was also something Lin Su didn’t understand.
Logically speaking, the task he had set for Qiuqiu today was to learn about dark spirit beasts on Blue Star’s network on its own and to pick some skills it wanted to learn.
However he looked at it, this had nothing to do with submitting as an initial species, right?
Qin Nan had been present just before, and he had held back his questions, but now he couldn’t help it.
“Kee…(╥﹏╥)” (Want to learn Devouring of Nihility…)
Qiuqiu hung its head, speaking shyly.
“Devouring of Nihility?” Lin Su blinked.
Because of Qiuqiu, he had also crammed the knowledge on dark spirit beasts, which he hadn’t known much about before. He was aware of this skill, famously the hardest to learn among the dark species.
Indeed, this skill seemed well-suited for Qiuqiu.
The skill was versatile, serving both defensive and offensive purposes, capable of neutralizing an opponent’s attack and also devouring and eliminating the opponent. Its only flaw was that it was so powerful, it required a great deal of energy.
But Qiuqiu’s normal energy level, thanks to those dark resources, had been consistently higher than other supernatural species of the same level, and its energy and stamina were essentially the same concept, so Qiuqiu maintaining this high-energy-consuming skill was feasible.
Looking at it this way, Qiuqiu had made a pretty good choice in picking skills, at least this one was excellent.
But… what did this have to do with what they were talking about?
“Why not just learn it if you want to?” Lin Su couldn’t help laughing and crying, “What does that have to do with submitting yourself?”
“Kee…” (But Devouring of Nihility costs 500 contribution points…)
Qiuqiu’s expression became more bashful, and it spoke in a low voice after poking its fingers.
“Kee, kee, kee…” (500 contribution points are so expensive, Beast Tamers definitely can’t afford it, so I had to find a way to earn it myself…)
Listening to Qiuqiu’s embarrassed words, Lin Su’s expression became weird.
Qiuqiu, which had been quietly listening on the side, was also stunned at this moment.
Is that it?
Both the man and his pet had this thought in their minds simultaneously.
After a while, having completely understood the situation, Lin Su sighed deeply.
So, it was because of this, huh?
Because of its powerful effects, Devouring of Nihility had originally consumed a lot of research resources to develop, and the teaching plan was complex, hence the need for a particularly large amount of contribution points.
Normally, a teaching skill would only cost a few dozen contribution points to exchange, and a hundred was considered expensive. Like Qiuqiu’s Frost Resistance, it was exchanged for 150 contribution points at the time, making Devouring of Nihility’s 500 contribution points among the most expensive in the skill teaching plans.
But that depends on who you ask.
For Lin Su, this was nothing at all.
Not to mention the three hundred thousand contribution points he received from Xue Henqing’s evolutionary path, but even before that, the evolutionary skill Deep Sleep and Dream had brought Lin Su a total of eight hundred thousand contribution points.
Spiritual evolutionary skills that could bring about a whole new transformation to an evolutionary-type pet; that kind of contribution was incomparable to any single evolutionary form or path, and naturally, the rewards were also substantially higher.
Adding these together, Lin Su’s contribution points balance had easily exceeded a million, not even counting other miscellaneous earnings.
Now, as a pet of a Beast Tamer who had over a million contribution points, Qiuqiu had sold itself to learn a teaching skill worth 500 contribution points…
At this moment, Lin Su wasn’t surprised at all by Qiuqiu’s choice.
There aren’t many ways to earn contribution points, and given Qiuqiu’s current circumstances, submitting as a brand new initial species was the only option left.
So, for Qiuqiu, this was its only method.
Lin Su sighed softly, rubbed Qiuqiu’s head, “Can you talk to me first before making such decisions in the future?”
“Kee! (／.＼)” (Okay!)
Qiuqiu quickly nodded its head, not daring to act recklessly again after such an incident.
“As for this Devouring of Nihility you’re talking about, you don’t actually need to go to such lengths to learn it.” Lin Su shook his head, opened his Beast Taming Association backend, and showed his contribution points balance to Qiuqiu, “It’s also my fault I didn’t tell you beforehand. Whenever you need to use contribution points, just let me know.”
He really hadn’t expected that Qiuqiu would need to use contribution points so soon, so he had never mentioned it before.
Looking at the display screen in front of it, Qiuqiu blinked, extending its trembling little claw to lightly tap on the digits of the balance.
One… two… three… four… five… six… seven…
“Kee… kee?! (⊙▂⊙)” (Seven… seven digits?!)
