“Alright, I’ll agree to your request first. Tell the guard to change that big bed into two single beds,” Jiang Xiao said to Bei Yu. He really couldn’t think of anything he wanted for himself.

From a material standpoint, Jiang Xiao was quite content at the moment. Asking this prince for 100 void shadow star beads was obviously making things difficult for him.

And Jiang Xiao also discovered his problem. As an ambitious Star Warrior, he actually felt satisfied!?

This was wrong, very wrong!

He needed to become "hungry"!

He needed to want the heavens, the earth, and the whole world. That was the normal state for a Star Warrior!

But Bei Yu said, "No need, you can just sleep in my room."

Jiang Xiao said, "Then arrange for her to stay in the room next to yours. Go ahead."

Bei Yu nodded. Since he had promised to listen to Jiang Xiao in everything, that was indeed what he intended to do.

Bei Yu beckoned to a guard patrolling in the distance and walked over.

Jiang Xiao looked at his tall, thin back and said, "I can't teach you much. I don't know much about your weapon. If I really had to, I could only teach you dagger skills."

As Bei Yu walked, he turned his head and said, "Let's go back inside and talk about it in detail."

Jiang Xiao grinned. He really hoped that the second generation of the Cato family was a little princess~

Jiang Xiao was daydreaming like crazy.

Over there, Ms. Di Lian and an assistant walked over.

"Young friend," Di Lian said with a warm smile, greeting him first.

Jiang Xiao clasped his hands, performed an ancient Chinese greeting, and wished Di Lian a happy new year: "Ms. Di, just call me Xiao Pi."

Regardless of the era, one should have reverence for true scientists and educators, for national talents like Di Lian.

Such people could be completely called the pillars of China.

Di Lian was over seventy years old, slightly hunched, about 165cm tall, thin, with white curly hair, and in very good spirits.

Di Lian said with a smile, "Just now, I inadvertently saw you summoning Star Warriors, and it seemed to have some unique effects."

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Hou Mingming and said, "Show Ms. Di our results."

The smile on Di Lian's face bloomed. She had seen too many people in her life, especially this group of soldiers, each one more stubborn than the last. Quite a few immediately wanted to report to their superiors. Jiang Xiao's cooperation made her feel very comfortable.

Di Lian said, "If it's really as we think, your research results may fill some gaps in human Star Warrior characteristics."

Jiang Xiao said, "It would be an honor."

Nearby, Hou Mingming had already summoned the dark light, covering the arrow, and shot it at a distant tree.

Jiang Xiao took the opportunity to ask, "Ms. Di, how is my Yingying Bear doing? What have you found out?"

Di Lian's smile carried a trace of helplessness, and said, "There are too many unknowns in the Star Warrior world. It is so mysterious. Just talking about creatures of the golden-red candle flame category, there are no star techniques of the 'combination' type. And then there's the bamboo bear..."

Di Lian watched as several assistants came forward to carefully examine the withered tree, taking samples with small bottles, and continued, "These two creatures are completely unrelated species, but such a strange chemical reaction occurred. We believe that the main cause of all this is the mutated candle flame."

Jiang Xiao nodded, "Mm."

Di Lian said, "We also carried some golden-red candle flames to the bamboo forest other dimension to test. The feedback from the researchers was: although the candle flames and the bamboo bears can live in harmony and play together, this kind of combination situation did not occur."

Di Lian turned to look at Jiang Xiao and said, "Your mutated candle flame is unique. There are so many Mount Er Night dimension spaces in this world, and the number of golden-red candle flames is probably in the billions, but there is only one black and white candle flame. For special cases, the research value is much smaller."

Jiang Xiao remained calm and said, "That's a pity."

Di Lian nodded and said, "But we can find commonalities in special cases."

"Mm?" Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Can you give me a hint?"

Di Lian smiled generously and waved her hand: "This isn't a secret. We have always believed that living beings have hidden characteristics. This theory was proposed long ago, but it has not been recognized by most scholars, because other dimensional creatures are also living beings, and they also have diverse and complex personalities and characteristics.

Relatively speaking, the weaker and purer ones can prove this theory.

Take the golden-red candle flame as an example. Although their star techniques are fixed, their hidden characteristics are likely to be dependence and attachment."

Jiang Xiao: !!!

Jiang Xiao asked carefully, "Why do you say that?"

Di Lian asked, "When the image of the golden-red candle flame appears in your mind, what adjectives would you use? Just give me a few."

Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Timid, clingy?"

Di Lian nodded: "Humans are complex. Some people are brave, some are timid, some are well-behaved, some are naughty. Even pet dogs are the same, they all have their own unique personalities...

But with the golden-red candle flame, you can find that all the golden-red candle flames have the same personality. They are timid, cowardly, and clingy. They are very good pet companions.

They seem to be carved from the same mold. Although they are different in size, their personalities are almost the same. This is the magical thing about this species."

Jiang Xiao: "So..."

Di Lian turned to look at the black and white candle bear, looking at the hat on its head, and said, "Perhaps the mutated candle flame infinitely magnified the biological characteristics of their species.

Those things that ordinary candle flames cannot do, the mutated candle flame has brought this hidden characteristic to the extreme, becoming some kind of special star technique.

So, you saw it clinging to the bamboo bear's head. Maybe it thinks it has found a haven, a safe harbor."

Jiang Xiao was secretly amazed in his heart, "My God! That's amazing..."

Di Lian said, "Of course, these are all our speculations. Your mutated candle flame is very helpful to us. In the next stage, we plan to focus on cultivating creatures like the golden-red candle flame, and we will try to let them grow together with powerful and gentle creatures like the bamboo bear.

We will use some means to try to develop the hidden characteristics of the golden-red candle flame. If... if one day, the golden-red candle flame combines with a powerful and gentle creature, you will be indispensable."

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Ms. Di, you flatter me."

"Hehe, no." Di Lian said, "You haven't realized the value of this. We can also find some powerful and gentle people in your soldier team."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Di Lian continued, "If we can determine that the golden-red candle flame really has hidden characteristics, then we can compare it with other creatures.

Every other dimensional creature has its own special attributes, but because their characteristics are too complex, we have not yet discovered their most essential features.

Once the theory is established, then the great significance of this research result does not need to be explained by me."

Di Lian sighed softly and looked at the busy research team, "We people have dedicated our lives to exploring the secrets of other dimensional creatures, trying to fill the gaps in Star Beasts. I hope I can live to see that day."

Jiang Xiao said, "Ms. Di, I am a very good medical Star Warrior. If your body has any discomfort, you can contact me at any time."

Di Lian was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Xiao. She had always regarded Jiang Xiao as a Night Watch soldier. Only then did she remember that this was a Pi Pi world champion.

Di Lian found Jiang Xiao's position and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, I appreciate your kindness. The nutritionist assigned to me by the country is also a good medical Star Warrior."

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "I'm not saying he's not good, I mean, my star technique has better effects. In fact, I can replenish your energy now. It's impossible to rejuvenate, but at least it can make your vitality more vigorous."

Di Lian's smile was full of meaning, "Your blessing is the source of your Poisonous Milk reputation, the people of China are clear about that." (Jiu Xing Du Nai)

Jiang Xiao scratched his head awkwardly.

Di Lian said, "I still want to thank you for your kindness. I do have a small request, and I hope you can cooperate."

Jiang Xiao: "What?"

Di Lian: "Can you summon the mutated candle flame and separate the candle flame from the bamboo bear.

We want to see if the candle flame will combine with other creatures, such as humans, or other other dimensional creatures. We want to see where its potential lies, maybe witness the process of combination."

Jiang Xiao's breathing stagnated!

Holy crap!?

Isn't this a joke!?

Where is the potential? The black and white candle flame has one more empty slot, and can also be attached to a Star Beast...

Di Lian said, "We have seen the mutated candle flame autonomously detach from the bamboo bear, but our researchers were more rash and scared the mutated candle flame back. It was buckled on the head of the bamboo bear again, and could never be called down again."

Jiang Xiao's heart was bleeding.

Damn it, if you find a few mosquito birds and let the black and white candle flame attach to them, then I'll kill myself!

Eh?

Wait...

Jiang Xiao's heart moved. The last time the black and white candle flame went to fuse with the bamboo bear, it had to be allowed by Jiang Xiao, and the black and white candle flame did so only after Jiang Xiao explicitly gave the order.

So, from this point of view, as long as there is no order from Jiang Xiao, the black and white candle flame will not fuse with other creatures?

Hmm... it should be like this.

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up and he suddenly thought of something.

Opportunity!!!

Why not go with the flow and treat Ms. Di Lian's request as a rare opportunity?

Use the power of the whole country to find a powerful Star Pet for Jiang Xiao!?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao said, "Powerful and gentle creatures are rare, wouldn't it be better to let the black and white candle flame attach to another bamboo bear?"

Di Lian nodded: "You can consider it this way, but since it is research, we still hope to have some diversity and see if it will attach to other creatures besides the bamboo bear.

Whether or not strong strength is the prerequisite for its attachment, and whether the other creature's temperament must be gentle and mild, all of this needs to be verified step by step."

Di Lian waved her hand casually, and Jiang Xiao took several steps back "thump thump thump"!

A giant dragon with hazy white mist suddenly appeared next to Di Lian. The huge body coiled around Di Lian, circle after circle. Since Di Lian was about 1.65 meters tall, and the giant dragon was more than ten meters long, its body was almost overlapping, surrounding Di Lian.

"Hehe." Di Lian smiled, her hand interlaced in the white mist, seemingly stroking the mist dragon's body, and said with infinite emotion, "I'm old, I've wronged you."

The oriental dragon composed of hazy white mist... uh, the oriental mist dragon, hissed softly and rushed straight into the sky.

Its body seemed to be really composed of "white mist," and as it flew into the sky, Jiang Xiao realized that he had underestimated it.

The higher it flew, the bigger its body became. White mist was constantly piecing together beside it. The dragon's head became more and more huge. The body eventually reached more than thirty meters long. On the illusory dragon's face pieced together by white mist, its eyes could not be seen clearly, but its long dragon whiskers and the dragon horns that gradually revealed their shape could be seen.

One claw, two claws... three claws!

People say five-clawed golden dragon, but this mist dragon has three mist claws.

Such a scene attracted the attention of everyone who looked up. The huge mist dragon coiled in the sky, and finally flew into the night sky, disappearing into the layers of clouds.

Di Lian looked up, smiling and looking at her Star Pet, and said, "Its temperament is very irritable."

"Gudong." Jiang Xiao's Adam's apple squirmed for a while, "This is your Star Pet?"

This kind and amiable little old lady, this Di Lian... what level of Star Warrior is she?

Di Lian nodded with a smile and said, "I know you, Jiang Xiaopi. You are walking on the right path in your life, and I also know that one day, you will follow in your parents' footsteps and go to the place you should go.

You are the leader of the younger generation, and I also look forward to the day when our country can restart the Dragon Cave exploration, and at that time, you can come to me.

You have helped us so much, and we have disturbed you for so long. Maybe you should see what they look like."

Jiang Xiao: !!!

Di Lian said, "This is the weakest kind of creature in the Dragon Cave. We call it the Mist Dragon."

The weakest?

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but grin, it's already so majestic, and it's still the weakest?

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and said, "If, I mean if, the mutated candle flame can really attach to this mist dragon, you know, the candle flame can allow me to take it and the object it attaches to, and include them in my star slot together."

Di Lian looked up at the clouds in the night sky, searching for traces of the Mist Dragon, and said, "I'm old, and my combat field is not the battlefield either. It is still young, or it has no age at all."

Jiang Xiao: ???

What... does this mean?

"Moreover." Di Lian's eyes searched for the Mist Dragon, "If the candle flame family can really forcibly deprive other Star Warriors of their Star Pets, if we really discover this characteristic of the candle flame family, you can't imagine what kind of changes we will bring to this world."

Jiang Xiao's heart sank. If this is really the case, then this world will be completely changed. If China can take the lead in mastering the secrets in this area, then for the Chinese nation, its strategic value is immeasurable.

Unfortunately, there is only one mutated candle flame.

Jiang Xiao waved his hand and said, "A gentleman does not take what others love!"

A person of this level should have such a Star Pet as a bodyguard!

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Bei Yu, who was dumbfounded and looking up at the night sky in the distance, and said, "Bei Yu!"

"Ah?" Bei Yu looked over foolishly.

Jiang Xiao: "Didn't you ask me what I wanted?"

Bei Yu's face stiffened, as if he realized what was about to happen.

Jiang Xiao pointed to the sky and said, "I want that!"

Bei Yu's face was stiff, and he looked at the sky awkwardly. After a long time, he stammered and said, "The, the moon? The moon... there is only one, it belongs to all mankind, we can't occupy it for ourselves..."

...

Four thousand three hundred words, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
