My Beast Ranch Story

Chapter 85, race against time and money! (4k)

Before Jiang Simiao could speak again, Sang Du had already arrived in front of him.

He was also wearing a white research uniform, holding a work folder in his hand, and explained to Jiang Simiao with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, I'm telling you this temporarily." Sang Du smiled apologetically at Jiang Simiao, turned to Zhu Hongmin and said, "Min, I'm taking Simiao to the laboratory first."

"Yeah." Zhu Hongmin smiled slightly, "Okay, so I'm free today. I just made an appointment with Sister Hu Li to go for a walk."

"Okay. Have fun."

Sang Du nodded to Zhu Hongmin. The husband and wife treated each other as if they were guests, which could be used to describe them in a polite manner.

"Xiaoying and Xiaoruan, right? Come in together."

He held the two little ones in his arms and followed Sang Du towards the laboratory in the house.

Zhu Hongmin looked at Jiang Simiao's back. The little boy in his arms stuck out his head and happened to catch her gaze.

Huh?

Is this the slime that Sang Du has been caring about?

It wasn't until the two of them and the two slimes disappeared around the corner that Zhu Hongmin took back his thoughts.

What a cute little guy. I feel like I can go and have a chat with Sister Hu Li and the others.

……

Sang Du took Jiang Simiao all the way into the laboratory. Before he entered, he took a set of brand-new research clothes and handed them to Jiang Simiao.

"After I chatted with you about the slime news, I helped you customize a research suit based on your height, because I thought you would come to me sooner or later."

Sang Du checked his glasses and stuffed the clothes into Jiang Simiao's arms.

"Put it on outside first. Some of the spiritual plants inside have relatively large energy fluctuations and may affect you."

"Do you want Xiaoruan and Xiaoying? I've also prepared energy protective suits for you."

Just as Jiang Simiao took over the clothes, Sang Du took out two small sets of protective clothing and handed them to Xiaoruan and Xiaoying.

"I originally considered that the lights in the laboratory cannot be turned off, so Xiaoying's protective suit has a special ultraviolet filtering effect. After wearing it, it will not be afraid of light."

Xiaoruan & Xiaoying:! !

Jiang Simiao:! ! !
Good guy, he solved the most important problem directly before he even opened his mouth.

Xiaoying was wrapped in white silk and flew up. She was very excited and her speed was much faster than Jiang Simiao.

It picked up the piece of clothing that seemed to have a dark luster in its mouth, and got in as soon as its body became soft. As a result, it didn't know how to put on the clothes, so it fell to the ground with a clatter, and started to squirm and roll crazily.

"Mr. Sangdu, please help Xiaoruan wear it."

Jiang Simuo handed the little soft ball to Sang Du with a bit of laughter, then stood up and picked up Xiaoying who fell on the ground.

"Um~"

Compared to Xiaoying, Xiaoruan is indeed much better behaved, or maybe she is lazy. Anyway, after Sang Du took it, it slumped down together as if it was asleep, letting Sang Du play with it, and it was quickly dressed. clothing.

As for Xiaoying, Jiang Simiao stretched out his hand and immediately grabbed Xiaoying's soft, elastic body, which was still cold.

"Yum~"

As soon as Jiang Simiao's hand touched Xiaoying's body, the capture skill was passively released, making her body tremble and she screamed subconsciously.

Jiang Simiao's face suddenly darkened. With a strong effort, he straightened its body, quickly put on his clothes, and picked it up again.

Just when he raised his head, he met the eyes of Sang Du and Xiao Ruan.

A bit weird?
"Okay, let's go in." Jiang Simiao chose to change the topic directly. After all, no matter what he said, he might be more and more tarnished.

Damn it, why is this skill getting worse and worse! !

Jiang Simiao had obviously forgotten how much he loved this skill in the first place.

"Well, come in."

Sang Du waved his hand and led Jiang Simiao and the others into his laboratory.

The laboratory is not big. After all, it was converted from the basement of his own house. It fits Jiang Simiao's fantasy very well.

The silver-white walls and floors looked like metal, and there were a lot of various petri dishes and research equipment that I had never seen before.

But it is a pity that there are no grown plants. Most of them are still seedlings and cannot be recorded in the illustrated books. Otherwise, this laboratory may also be a very suitable place for Jiang Simiao to collect illustrated books.

Jiang Simiao looked around and saw labels and pictures. There were at least ten kinds of spiritual plants. If all of them had grown up, Jiang Simiao didn't dare to think about the crazy collection of illustrated books.

It feels similar to the time I went to Grandpa Zhang’s ranch.

"What's wrong, do you like this laboratory very much?" When Sang Du turned around to look, he found Jiang Simiao turning around and looking around, smiling.

"It should be expanded again later."

"Eh?"

Jiang Simiao was stunned.

"Yeah." Sang Du nodded and pushed down his glasses.

Of course, if Slime's research is published and all of it is sensational, and the authorities don't allocate more funds, then it would be abnormal.

"By the way, Simiao, do you have any plans to build a laboratory specifically?"

When he thought of this, Sang Du turned to look at Jiang Simiao.

After all, Jiang Simiao is the first author in the final analysis. If he is willing, relying on most of the information, he can publish it as a solo work.

At most, there is a lack of more specific experimental data.

What I did was just verify Jiang Simiao's research report, fill in the specific data, and then dig deeper into the possibilities.

"Ah? My research institute, I don't have any ideas yet..." Jiang Simuo was stunned for a moment when asked by Sang Du, and then shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Sang Du, you already have ready-made ones here anyway." If you really want to build a research institute, you will definitely..."

"It must be built by you." Sang Du interrupted Jiang Simiao and said seriously, "After all, you are the main initiator of the slime research project, so the research institute will definitely still rely on you. But if you don’t mind, I can go directly to your place to study slime.”

Sang Du smiled and added: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about the space. After all, high-end research institutes will be equipped with space props, so there is more space inside the building."

Good guy, those houses in Stardew Valley are actually like this.

Jiang Simiao complained in his heart, but still thought about what Sang Du said. After all, even if there was a research institute, it would definitely be used by Sang Du. But he had already mentioned it to himself, so there was no problem, so he clicked He nodded, "Okay, the working area of ​​my ranch should be enough to build a research institute."

"Okay, then let me talk about the problem I came to you with."

Sang Du smiled: "At first, I really thought that only two kinds of slimes were needed, but when I was studying your information just now, I found that slimes seem to be able to produce fusion crystals through different interaction methods. "

"But there is one requirement...well, it can't be pink slime, which is Xiaofu."

Xiaoruan:? ?

"Of course, I'm not rejecting it." Noticing the confusion on Xiaoruan's face, Sang Du waved his hand quickly, "The main reason is that through what you gave me, I discovered that the evolutionary path of pink slime is actually the same as all other Slime is different."

"Hmm... have you heard of the Bailinglong? A legendary creature."

Sang Du thought for a moment and asked seriously.Jiang Simiao:......

Not only had I heard it, I knew it.

"I've heard of it, and I've gone to find out about it." Of course, Jiang Simiao couldn't tell the truth directly, so he just nodded.

"That's great. I just want to tell you that the legendary lark is the ancestor of extraordinary creatures and has the ability to transform into any extraordinary creature. And pink slime is to the slime race just like lark Dragons are like supernatural beings. It can be said that various slime races may actually be transformed from pink slimes.”

"So when I was studying their cells, I found that just when energy fusion was about to occur, the pink slime cells were directly transformed into firefly slime cells. As a result, the research process was hindered, so I wanted to You go find me another slime."

Sang Du patted Xiaoruan. The protective clothing was particularly close-fitting and soft. It was also made of custom-made deformable materials, so Xiaoruan and Xiaoying could still change into various shapes.

When Jiang Simuo heard Sang Du's research, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't looked at the Slime Illustrated Book particularly carefully.

Mainly because there are tens of thousands of words of information on any type of slime, which seems too tiring.

Be sure to take a good look at it later.

Jiang Simiao nodded: "Yes, I understand, then I will help you find it."

"Then please hurry up. After all, recently, external research publications, um, and the research institute where I work, are recruiting a large number of new evolutionary forms, or new research on common races, as well as information on special research directions. . In short, our slime research meets all the requirements. If it is published within this time, excluding the journal publication fee, we should be able to earn 10 yuan, which is regarded as a bonus."

Jiang Simiao:!
"When does it end!"

Jiang Simiao's eyes lit up, and his excitement almost scared Xiaoying and Xiaoruan.

"Two days later. The initial review may take half a day, but as long as you submit it before the deadline, it will take about three to six months to review, and then the results will be available. So if you want to get those bonuses, we find new varieties Slime, and only one day to research.”

Sang Du pushed up his glasses with a sincere attitude, "So Simiao, I'll leave it to you."

"Of course, if it's too difficult, let go..."

"Simple!"

"I'm leaving now! I know where there is a new slime race."

Jiang Simiao directly interrupted Sang Du's words, his eyes were bright, and the way he looked at Sang Du made him take a step back subconsciously.

"If I find it for you today, there will be no problem, right?"

"Um...that's it, though."

"Okay, I understand. I'll leave Xiaoruan and Xiaoying with you first. I'll go look for them right away."

"You still need to study Xiaoying and Xiaoruan, right?" Jiang Simiao asked.

"Well, actually I still need to touch their mucus, and I also want to observe their shape." Sang Du nodded.

Hearing this, Jiang Simiao asked again, "Your research will not have any bad impact on the two of them, will it?"

"Sure, I guarantee that neither of them will undergo other research, just a little bit of mucus extraction."

"Okay." Jiang Simiao breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered his body to look at Xiaoruan and Xiaoying, and touched their heads, "Then you guys stay here first, I'll go outside to find a new one. Slime.”

"Um~"

"Yum~"

Seeing them all nodding obediently, Jiang Simiao straightened up and said to Sang Du, "Okay. I'll go then."

"good luck."

As soon as Sang Du finished speaking, Jiang Simuo ran away like the wind, leaving the three guys, Xiao Ruan and Xiao Ying Sang Du, staring at each other.

"You are really an activist." Sang Du shook his head in confusion, and then looked at Xiaoruan and Xiaoying.

"Then let's get along harmoniously in the next period of time." Sang Du turned to look at Xiaoruan and Xiaoying.

The two of them didn't even look at him, they just stuck to each other.

Sang Du:......

It seems that I spoke at the wrong time...

……

Jiang Simiao rushed out of the laboratory, took off the research clothes he was wearing, and hung them directly on the hanger next to him.

Zhu Hongmin had already left the house, so Jiang Simiao closed the door after going out.

"Big spider!"

As soon as he went out, the sun shone on Jiang Simiao's face, the wind blew softly across Jiang Simiao's face, the sound floated out, and the big spider jumped out of the woods next to him.

"Sigh~"

It hissed, with some fruit residue still stuck to its legs, and some juice dripping from the corners of its mouth.

Seeing Jiang Simiao coming over, it quickly shook its head and wiped its legs in the grass next to it, pretending to be clean.

But Jiang Simiao didn't have the intention to care about these things now. He just ran to the big spider, patted its back, and said quickly: "Big Spider, take me to the mysterious forest, do you know?"

"hiss……"

The big spider noticed that Xiaoruan and Xiaoying were not with Jiang Simiao. Although he was stunned for a moment, he still nodded.

"Xiaoruan and Xiaoying are staying here. We have other things to do. We'll pick them up later." Jiang Simiao first pulled the silk and spikes and climbed onto its back, while saying, "Okay, okay." Come on, let’s go, I’ll show you the way.”

"Sigh~"

Row.

The big spider nodded, and then started swinging with Jiang Simiao.

"Ahead, this way."

"Turn right ahead, there is a road over there."

"Remember there is a lake ahead? We are going to that lake."

Jiang Simiao was used to sitting, so he didn't feel so dizzy this time, and said to the big spider.

He certainly hasn't forgotten how to find rock slimes.

Although it was already a week ago, he still had some impression.

Through the Twin Wind Letters, you can be directly transported to the depths of the wasteland, where you collected information about rock slimes last time.

Moreover, there is a plant in the twin wind letter that I have not included, and I can take it back now.

"arrive!"

When the lake appeared in front of his eyes, Jiang Simiao shouted quickly, his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.

The golden light in his eyes was particularly conspicuous.

Very good, the unlisted plants are still there!

　Including the one in the early morning, there are actually 6k today.
