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

Lu Yuan spent two hours revising the first draft of the paper and sent it to his supervisor.

This draft only made preliminary revisions to the theme, and changed some minor details based on the problems pointed out by the teacher.

There are no major changes to other things, and no major changes are needed.

This is something that has been gradually improved through step-by-step research, and it is not a finished product that can be produced in a few hours.

After Dabai finished eating the meat, Lu Yuan took Dabai back to the village and went door to door to return the greetings.

Dabai looked upset as he had just moved the gifts back.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan left a small portion for it, and Dabai felt it was acceptable.

After returning the gift, Lu Yuan returned to his room and happened to receive a reply from his tutor.

"You can try conventional evolution. Are you sure? If you are, I will help you apply for the start-up funds for your graduation project."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

"It's okay, just work hard. If you don't have enough time, just delay your graduation..." the tutor left a message.

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes.” Lu Yuan couldn’t say for sure whether he could finish the paper within half a year.

First of all, the two-star Tumbleweed Mantis Beast he wanted to buy had to have physical fitness close to the evolutionary limit in all aspects, so as to save the long training process in the early stage. Only in this way could he save time and catch up with the accelerated training time in his dream.

For things like the evolution from level 2 to level 3, if the route is known and stable, Lu Yuan can use this as an excuse to publicly look for volunteers online. He can use the school's money to pay for the evolution and training, and do an evolution from level 2 to level 3 for Beastmasters who are not financially well-off.

If you succeed, that's Xingyuan.

But the evolution of unknown routes is different.

Evolution failure is common, and it is not easy to find volunteers online.

I am not stupid. Unknown evolution has the risk of evolution failure. I will not send my beloved pet to others for experiments. This concerns the life of the pet.

Of course, this does not mean that unknown evolution is all risk.

Risk is generally linked to return.

Some unknown evolutions are themselves the route to the strong. Once the evolution is successful, it will be a time of soaring into the sky, and the volunteers participating in the project will also benefit from it.

Lu Yuan still doesn’t know how much start-up fund the school will give him. If it’s too little, Lu Yuan might actually publicly recruit volunteers.

"Teacher, how much will the first phase of start-up capital be?" Lu Yuan asked while typing.

It’s better to ask the teacher about this.

Now, quite a few senior students have completed their graduation projects. They are all students who have received financial support from the school, so the funding standards must have been set.

"The first installment is probably less than 40,000 yuan." The instructor replied.

Less than 40,000... That’s really not much.

Lu Yuan was silent for a while.

But on the other hand, it is impossible for student research to obtain large amounts of investment.

Moreover, this funding project is aimed at senior students in the school's training department. The total amount for several hundred people is more than 20 million.

The result of distributing the benefits equally is that there are too many people and too little porridge.

Of course, the school also knows that treating everyone equally is not very effective, so the quotas for additional investment in the second and third phases are strictly limited.

Some people start doing it when school starts and get the first round of investment very early, but that doesn’t mean they can get the second round.

The subsequent second and third phase investments will be subject to strict review to check the research progress, and no additional expenses will be made if there is no progress.

“Is there any room for the second phase of investment now?”

"There is still one third left, reserved for students in the second half of the year. The second phase of the funding pool will be released in a month. I will ask if there are any Tumbleweed Mantis resources for you. If you can catch up with the end of the second phase, you will also have a chance in the third phase..."

The instructor responded enthusiastically, and Lu Yuan felt warmed as he looked at the words on the screen.

Of course, Lu Yuan can’t just wait for his mentor’s resources and help.

What if no one among the mentor’s graduates raises a two-star Tumbleweed Mantis?

At that time, Lu Yuan will have to rely on himself, either spending money to buy it or relying on luck.

Lu Yuan went to the pet market to check the market price of mantis beasts and located the tumbleweed mantis beast category.

This is the advantage of modern times. If you want to buy a pet, you can look for the pet you want on an online store, check the price online, ask for the address, and then go to the real store to meet the pet in person and sign a contract.

As for having the pet packed in a courier box and sent over...well, to be honest, there is no such service.

Signing a contract is a sacred thing, both for the beastmaster and the pet.

It is in line with the spirit of the contract for the animal tamer to personally go to the pet store to meet the pet and sign the contract on the spot.

Therefore, Lu Yuan could only take a liking to the items online and then make the transaction in real life.

There are many gyms that specialize in breeding Mantismon and have opened stores online. Lu Yuan found a store called "Green World".

A young Tumbleweed Mantis Beast, eight months old, priced at twenty thousand, with zero talents, and currently cultivating passive talents.

Well, this price...

If you scroll down from Luyuan, the price keeps fluctuating, the lowest is 20,000. The further you scroll down, the higher the price.

The highest one has soared to 68,000.

Tumbleweed Mantis Beast, age one year and eight months, has a body size close to that of an adult, and possesses five passive talents, two of which are strength-related, two are speed-related, and one is physical-related.

The physical strength of this Mantismon has reached the top level of Mantismon in all aspects, that is, more than 90 points of a two-star Mantismon, and it can be bought for evolution.

Practice the program customized by Lu Yuan, and after you have trained the missing 5% of muscle, take the evolution medicine, and you will be able to evolve.

The price doesn't seem to be a rip-off and everything is good, but Lu Yuan knows that the price is still a bit high.

Although this pet has many talents, it can still be trained out if you spend time and practice slowly.

There are cheap ways to train pets' passive talents. For example, Lu Yuan's Nian beast did not spend a lot of money and spent more than ten years training eight passive talents.

For example, the mantis beasts hanging in the store obviously have an extra time cost. Zerg pets reach their peak quickly and take less time to develop passive talents. However, even so, they are still 48,000 more expensive than a young pet with zero talent.

"I'm overspent. I can't buy this..."

Lu Yuan looked at it again and again, frowning.

It seemed easy at first, but when I actually started working on the paper, I realized that it is not easy to complete it quickly.

If he had started simulating earlier and applied for the graduation project at the beginning of his senior year, he would definitely not be in such a rush as he is now.

It would be fine if Lu Yuan wasn't rushing to get the second round of funding.

Most animal tamers who do pet research encounter many setbacks and it is rare for them to achieve success in one go.

Even if the paper is not even a semi-finished product and only has interim results, as long as it has some bright spots that attract the judges, it can win the second round of PK and get additional funds.

Because not many people can get funds in the second phase, the amount of funds they can get will be several times more than that in the first phase.

Lu Yuan, whose family was not well-off to begin with, wanted very much to get this money.

Lu Yuan sat in front of the screen, thinking quickly, trying every possible way to save money.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he thought of the post just now.

"My post is so popular online, why not take the opportunity to recruit volunteers, what if I'm lucky?" Lu Yuan thought.

Although many people criticize him online, black and red traffic is still traffic.

As long as Lu Yuan doesn't mind being criticized by others, he can shamelessly ask everyone for help.

Maybe there are some wealthy haters who are willing to pay to see him make a fool of himself?

A little while later, he posted a new post:

"Urgent! I need a Tumbleweed Mantis Beast to do a live broadcast of face-slapping. Who's willing to volunteer? I'll pay for the evolution and cultivation!"
