I dreamed of returning to ancient times, and I became a beast tamer

Dabai and Dalili were tinkering with dishes in the kitchen, while Lu Yuan and Cheng Xueyan were chatting in the bedroom.

"Didn't you visit your relatives today?"

"My dad said he's going to the city to visit relatives tomorrow."

Student Cheng looked around the bedroom and finally his eyes fell on Lu Yuan's computer screen, staring at an open paper.

When Lu Yuan heard this, his heart moved.

"I'm going to do some research on the evolution of the Tumbleweed Mantis Beast. You can come and take a look and help me out."

Lu Yuan pulled her to sit down and introduced the core concepts of the evolution paper, as well as the scientific research work that she would be mainly responsible for in the future - testing the properties of drugs and screening out the drugs that Lu Yuan needed.

This is no small project and requires purchasing medicines in advance, and cannot be put off until school starts.

Lu Yuan didn't want to waste time in reality, so he planned to let Cheng do the task of purchasing medicine.

"You are going to Longzhou City tomorrow, so please buy some herbs for me. I will transfer the money to you later."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he copied a prescription and sent it to her on WeChat.

Without hesitation, Cheng nodded and said, "Okay."

"Do you need me to buy a Tumbleweed Mantis Beast?"

"Well, there's no rush for now. I'll wait for the teacher's news before deciding whether to buy it or not. By the way..."

Lu Yuan remembered the posts he had made in the morning and at noon, and immediately opened the Chonghu website to look at his homepage column.

The number of comments was again at 999+, and the screen was full of insults, which was unbearable to read. Lu Yuan only clicked on it and took a look before closing it.

"Hey, what was that just now?" Cheng Xueyan was stunned for a moment. The webpage closed quickly and she only saw a few lines of comments.

It seems to be a post scolding the teacher.

"Nothing, I'll check the private messages."

Lu Yuan opened the private message box, and there were also a lot of red dots. Dozens of people had sent him private messages cursing him and then ran away.

Lu Yuan clicked on them one by one and read on patiently.

Fortunately, he had the patience to check. If he had clicked off all of them, he would have missed the real sponsor.

"Got it. Someone is willing to help us." Lu Yuan's face lit up with joy, and all the pressure disappeared.

When he clicked on it, he found that it was a well-known blogger. Wait, isn't this the guy who scolded him this morning? Lu Yuan was speechless. He didn't know what the other party wanted by scolding him and giving him money at the same time?

Classmate Cheng was sitting next to him watching Lu Yuan's quick operation. Until then, he saw Song Damou's message and was confused.

“Why does the teacher have to live stream his research for him to see?”

"Everyone wants to see me embarrassed, but it's okay. I don't take it to heart. You don't need to read the comments online. No matter how they see us, it's a good thing that we can raise money."

"Hey, there is another enthusiastic netizen who is willing to provide financial support. Let me take a look..."

The second enthusiastic netizen who was willing to provide funding was more straightforward than Song Damou. He did not make any requests and without saying anything, asked Lu Yuan to send her the pet order link and she would pay for him with no limit on the amount of money.

"Is this true? Unlimited funding?!"

Cheng Xueyan, who was standing by, was stunned, with her mouth opened into an O shape.

"Teacher, do you know her?"

"I don't know him." Lu Yuan shook his head.

“It seems like there is no limit to funding, but we as human beings must be self-aware.

"If you deliberately choose a pet with a ceiling-level price, others will definitely not help you pay for it. They are not fools."

After Lu Yuan finished his explanation, the poor girl still couldn't imagine that such a good thing would actually happen to her.

"But this kind of thing doesn't happen often. Look at the number of views on my post. It has now exceeded one million. With more people seeing it, there will naturally be wealthy beastmasters who will see it. As long as they are interested, I will have a chance."

When Lu Yuan said this, he remembered that he had to hurry up and send the link.

What if people lose interest and don’t want to pay?

Lu Yuan quickly searched for pet stores and found the insect and beast online store in Longzhou City. After a rough look, he found pets ranging from more than 50,000 to 68,000.

The pet beast worth more than 50,000 seems to lack physical talent and needs to be trained for some time.

The pet beast worth 68,000 yuan, which is the one we saw before, has physical fitness that is at the top level of Tumbleweed Mantis Beast. You can achieve a breakthrough by buying it.

Anyway, it’s not his money.

There's no need to save the rich woman the ten thousand yuan difference, and besides, this is not the ceiling price.

A two-star mantis beast at a sky-high price, the most expensive one can be sold for tens of millions.

The pet that Lu Yuan chose was very expensive compared to ordinary people, but still very cheap compared to the rich.

So Lu Yuan placed the order directly, and when he was redirected to the payment interface, he chose to find someone to help pay, and a link code was generated.

He forwarded the link code to netizens on Chonghu, followed Miss Puff, and then continued:

"Hello, Miss Puff, thank you for your enthusiastic suggestions and support. I am Lu Yuan, a student in the Cultivation Department of Longzhou University. This is the first draft of my evolution project. According to your suggestion, it was changed to the regular evolution type and has preliminarily passed the teacher's review.

"I am now applying for a graduation project grant from the school. Thank you for your advice..."

Lu Yuan sent over a first draft of the paper.

This is Lu Yuan's financial sponsor. Lu Yuan doesn't know what the other party's requirements are, so it's always a good idea to show his full attitude first.

As for another netizen who left a message, Song Damou... Lu Yuan did not need to get a second mantis beast, and he did not plan to contract a mantis beast.

So I didn't go looking for Song Damou.

As for the mantis beast that I bought, maybe I can give it to the sponsor.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan added in the private message that if the evolution was successful in the future, this mantis beast would be returned to her if she wanted it.

There was a beeping sound.

The private message on Chonghu has moved.

"Ms. Puff doesn't want to have coffee":

"No need to pay it back. If you succeed, just take a set of physical examination videos of Mantis Beast and give them to me. If you fail, you don't need to take them."

At this time, a new message popped up on Lu Yuan’s phone.

"Payment successful!"

"Your product needs to be inspected in person, please check!"

"It's done."

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the message on his phone.

Cheng Xueyan, who was standing by, watched the whole thing and began to believe it. This was indeed a rich man giving money away and it was not an act.

"This pet shop is in Longzhou City. Do you want me to take over it?" Cheng Xueyan said after thinking for a few seconds.

Logically speaking, Lu Yuan should go to Longzhou City to pick up the mantis beast in person.

But that is what contracted pets do.

Lu Yuan had no intention of contracting a mantis beast.

Although he now has two vacancies for pets to contract.

"I've already asked you to help buy the herbs. It's not okay to trouble you again?" Lu Yuan hesitated.

On one side is the practice in the dream, on the other side are the trivialities in reality.

"It's okay, I don't mind." Cheng Xueyan shook her head and smiled.

“I don’t mind, it just means I’m really busy and I’m forcing myself to take on more burdens.

"Forget it. You went there to visit relatives anyway. It would be bad to add more burden to you." Lu Yuan shook his head.

Although Cheng didn't mind, Lu Yuan felt bad.

Maybe he should be a little tougher and just use lab assistants when necessary.

Isn't it the same for his mentor, who leaves most of the trivial matters to his subordinates?

"This is my first evolution project, so it would be better for me to take it over personally. Maybe it will increase the success rate." Lu Yuan found a reason for himself and rejected the other party's idea of ​​continuing.
