Su Ping slightly narrowed his eyes.

He had come across this term before while studying the educational materials from the Breeder Association.

However, this was essentially not closely related to the work of Beast Tamers and Breeders; it was a change that occurred over a long period.

However, this suddenly gave Su Ping some ideas.

Thinking this, Su Ping blinked, his interest genuinely piqued.

Take the Forest Wolf as an example. After a Forest Wolf evolves into a Forest Wolf, it naturally still has a chance to evolve into the Wanmu Wolf. However, it has absolutely no chance of transforming into an Elf Wolf of the same level, because their race limit is the same: Commander-Level Peak.

So, for the Elf Wolf, whose Evolution focuses mainly on the Life Series and partial Elementalization—even though its direct combat strength might be less than the Forest Wolf’s, can one say its potential and utility are lower?

No! In fact, because of its Life Series healing abilities, the Elf Wolf could be even more useful. However, compared to the Forest Wolf, the Elf Wolf has a higher difficulty in Evolution. Furthermore, its primary abilities lie in life-healing, making its survival and overall combat effectiveness in the wild inferior to the Forest Wolf. Therefore, it is not adapted to the survival environment of Pet Beasts in the wild.

Su Ping believed that the examples of the Forest Wolf and the Elf Wolf were definitely not unique. In those distant Ancient Times, throughout the long history of Pet Beast development, there were undoubtedly many similar weak Pet Beasts that completed their Evolution under the natural laws of survival of the fittest.

It remains the eternal maxim and truth of the Breeder world:

The weaker the Pet Beast, the more infinite its potential. The lower the tier of the Pet Beast, the more diverse its Evolution!

There are no truly useless Pet Beasts, only Breeders who have yet to unearth their potential.

Su Ping couldn’t help but smile wryly.

However, at this moment, he had clearly forgotten that there was another person in the office.

Dong Muyun looked at the youngster before her with a peculiar expression.

Undoubtedly, from ancient times to the present, the methods by which powerful, long-standing Families maintained their continuity—just like in the world Su Ping had transmigrated from—were all the same: investment, recruitment, and marriage alliances.

And Su Ping was undoubtedly a talent most worthy of investment and recruitment.

Thus, Dong Muyun coughed lightly.

Only then did Su Ping look at her.

"What are you thinking about? Have you had some other insight?"

"Um..."

It had to be said, now that the investment was formalized, Dong Muyun was essentially an ally. Su Ping indeed felt considerably more at ease around her and didn’t conceal anything, sharing his recent thoughts with her in full. Her background was considerable; perhaps she had some understanding in this area. Or perhaps she knew some Secret Technique for degeneration unknown to others.

Unfortunately, Su Ping was clearly overthinking. In this world, Breeders who studied Evolution were a dime a dozen. But those who researched degeneration were exceedingly rare. Even if there were some, it was very difficult to produce any results.

So, Dong Muyun listened to Su Ping’s far-fetched ideas. He had extrapolated so much from just the four words ’species optimization’ and the relationship between the Forest Wolf and Elf Wolf species. He had even proposed such a bold direction—one that sounded utterly preposterous at first, but upon careful consideration, actually seemed remarkably plausible. For a moment, Dong Muyun herself became somewhat bewildered.

However, she had to admit, in this regard, Dong Muyun was thoroughly impressed.

Then she became flustered and could only stammer, "Uh... I... I really don’t know..."

She couldn’t deny Su Ping’s ideas, yet she was also unable to provide any advice or help.

So Dong Muyun, who had originally wanted to further close the distance with this brat, could only choose to change the subject very awkwardly, "Anyway, I’ll go check out what’s happening in the Lingxi River!"

Su Ping also came back to his senses.

The matter of species optimization, as well as Evolution and degeneration, was naturally just a topic and direction worthy of research. However, for the current Su Ping, the difficulty was still too great.

Thinking this, and since it concerned his own territory, Su Ping didn’t remain idle. He nodded and said, "I’ll go with you to take a look!"

Su Ping also wanted to see what exactly was causing harm in the area near his territory.
