Next, Shi Yu chatted with Director Li for a couple more sentences.

After obtaining the contact information, he immediately said goodbye.

After all, both Director Li and the beast-eared senior should be very busy, so Shi Yu didn't want to disturb them any further.

"Senior, thank you."

After leaving the office building, Shi Yu thanked Senior Bai Xi.

"No problem."

Bai Xi stretched lazily.

As expected of a beast-eared girl who can tear apart pets with her bare hands, even stretching was full of power. Shi Yu took a secret glance.

"Then, do you still need me to show you around?" Bai Xi asked.

"No, next I want to focus on investigating this Iron-Eating Beast relic. It's not too late to explore the other facilities after I enroll," Shi Yu said.

After chatting with the Seven Heroes of Archaeology, Shi Yu discovered that the archaeological methods of the two worlds were indeed somewhat different.

After all, this is a world with extraordinary powers. He might really have to learn from scratch, as Lu Qingyi said.

The Archaeology Department of Gu Du University is a very good starting point.

"Alright, then, that's it for now. Contact me if you have any questions," Bai Xi nodded.

…

After Shi Yu and Bai Xi left, Director Li began to look for information related to the Iron-Eating Beast relic, and then found the tutor in charge of the relic.

"Director Li, were you looking for me?"

The tutor of the Seven Heroes of Archaeology came to the director's office, puzzled.

"Xiao Ding, that Iron-Eating Beast relic is being managed by your students, right?" Director Li asked with a smile.

"Yes," Tutor Ding nodded.

"Next, the priority of the investigation and research of this Iron-Eating Beast relic will be raised to the highest level. I will arrange another person in charge, and you should cooperate fully then."

"Eh?" Tutor Ding was puzzled.

Isn't it just a small relic of a tribe that believes in the Iron-Eating Beast? Could there be any new discoveries?

"Which tutor is it?"

"It's not a tutor. It's a prospective member of the Eleventh Bureau introduced by Dr. Lu Qingyi, a young man. Just be aware of it."

"He should have already contacted your students and seems to have discovered that this relic has deeper value."

Director Li's words made Tutor Ding's pupils shrink. The Eleventh Bureau?

"Understood," he nodded quickly.

…

On the Iron-Eating Beast relic side.

A new day, and the Panda Senior and the Seven Heroes of Archaeology are very motivated.

They have been immersed in research all morning, and they have read a total of tens of thousands of words of related materials.

This is an unimaginable effort for the Seven Heroes of Archaeology, who had been slacking off before.

There was no way around it. Eleven's potential was too strong.

It gave people the illusion that the Iron-Eating Beast would be invincible once it evolved.

In the field of Beast Taming, being able to research the evolution method of a pet is a very impressive thing.

For example, those researchers who have researched different evolution routes of the Azure Silk Worm have already gained both fame and fortune and reached the peak of their lives.

Although the Iron-Eating Beast does not have the same popularity as the Azure Silk Worm, it is not much worse.

If they can research the evolutionary form of the Iron-Eating Beast through archaeological research, they can not only get rewards from the school, but also add a significant achievement to their resume.

At this time, Zheng Yingjie was comparing the similarities and commonalities between the relic and other relics from 4,500 years ago.

A phone call temporarily stopped him from his work.

"Tutor Ding?"

"What, the project is going to change the person in charge?"

Zheng Yingjie was stunned after hearing a few words on the other end of the phone.

His voice immediately attracted the attention of others.

Change the person in charge?

The archaeology seniors were stunned. No way!

The person currently in charge of this relic is their tutor.

They have a good relationship with the tutor, and Tutor Ding has also promised to come and assist in the research in a couple of days.

Suddenly changing the person in charge is definitely not as convenient as having their own tutor in charge.

"Do I know the new person in charge?"

"Has he already contacted us? Who is it?"

Zheng Yingjie looked blank, and then, his expression suddenly changed violently, and he looked completely dumbfounded!

"This…"

After hearing the name of the new person in charge, Zheng Yingjie was in chaos.

After a while, Zheng Yingjie hung up the phone.

Lin Xiuzhu and the other six heroes gathered around and asked what was going on.

"What, change the person in charge? What's going on?" Wang Le asked.

"Will it affect our already determined research route?" Lin Yuer asked.

Zheng Yingjie still looked dumbfounded and said, "It shouldn't, right?"

"Because…"

"Tutor Ding said that the next person in charge of the Iron-Eating Beast relic is Shi Yu. You heard right, it's that junior Shi Yu from yesterday."

"What??"

Zheng Yingjie's words left not only him dumbfounded, but everyone else as well.

Wang Le stammered, "W-what's going on?"

The others were also very confused. Before, he was still a junior who hadn't enrolled yet. How could he suddenly become the person in charge of an archaeological project at Gu Du University!

This span is a bit too big!

"Senior Lin?" Zheng Yingjie looked at Lin Xiuzhu.

At this time, Lin Xiuzhu also looked puzzled, feeling like she might have misheard.

"What exactly is the identity of this junior Shi Yu?" they asked.

In Lin Xiuzhu's words, Shi Yu was introduced by Pavilion Master Lin and was a fellow villager with Lin Xiuzhu.

How could such an ordinary identity background suddenly have something to do with Gu Du University.

Being in charge of a project at least requires an expert at the level of a university tutor.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Lin Xiuzhu crossed her arms, unable to figure it out.

Shi Yu's identity is indeed very strange. She also thought Shi Yu was very ordinary at first.

But then, for some inexplicable reason, Shi Yu was regarded as a direct disciple by her father…

This was before Eleven awakened its ancient bloodline.

There are so many Iron-Eating Beasts, why did Eleven awaken its ancient bloodline?

This is also why Lin Xiuzhu thinks Shi Yu is unusual. It's not that the ancient bloodline made Shi Yu and Eleven, but because it was Shi Yu, Eleven could awaken the ancient bloodline.

"He should be here later. Wouldn't it be better to ask him in person then…"

Shi Yu was indeed on his way to the Iron-Eating Beast relic by car.

While sitting in the car, Shi Yu was meditating and lost in thought.

So slow…

It seems that I will have to contract a flying pet that is proficient in speed in the future.

However, even if I don't contract one, it seems that Chong Chong can also transform into one.

The skill of Illusory Phantom is simply a universal tool skill, and Chong Chong also seems to be a universal tool pet. It can transform into anything in the future.

For example, transforming into a Frost Dragon can also allow it to fly.

Of course, although the Frost Dragon can fly, it is not known for its speed. Also, being a dragon knight in the city would be too ostentatious.

It's easy to be shot down as an unidentified flying object.

In addition, the abilities of the materialized phantom must be somewhat inferior to the original.

At least for now, the ice dragon that Chong Chong has transformed into, not to mention being comparable to the true Frost Dragon of a Overlord race, it's still a question of whether it can defeat pets of the same growth level of a high transcendent race.

…

Soon, Shi Yu arrived at the Iron-Eating Beast relic.

When Shi Yu arrived, he found that Panda Senior and the Seven Heroes of Archaeology were looking at him with very strange eyes.

"Uh." Shi Yu was slightly stunned.

"Junior, what's going on? How did you suddenly become the main person in charge of this relic…" Zheng Yingjie said with a wry smile, very puzzled.

"I felt that this relic wasn't getting enough attention, so I contacted your Director Li through a friend's connection," Shi Yu said with a slight smile.

"Ah?"

The others looked at Shi Yu blankly. What kind of friend has so much energy?

They can actually get a connection directly through Director Li.

"In short, this is a good thing." Shi Yu said, "Next, the school should fully cooperate with our investigation of this relic. The component analysis of that metal fragment might be completed within 2 or 3 days."

The others exchanged glances.

"Okay…" Seeing that Shi Yu didn't intend to go into detail, the others wisely stopped asking.

However, at this time, they didn't dare to treat Shi Yu as an ordinary junior anymore.

This is clearly a super VIP with connections in Gu Du University!

After he enters the university, it's hard to say who will be protecting whom.

"Does my father know the friend you mentioned?"

After everyone dispersed to work again, Lin Xiuzhu leaned next to Shi Yu and asked in a low voice.

She remembered that her father had also said that Shi Yu was entrusted to study at the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Center by an acquaintance.

"He should know him," Shi Yu said. There are two ways to interpret this friend, one is Senior Lu, and the other is the beast-eared senior. If it's the former, then Pavilion Master Lin Hongnian must know him.

"I see." Panda Senior nodded and then smiled: "Great, I didn't expect that after a day, you would become the person in charge of this project."

Shi Yu grinned: "It is our duty to revitalize the glory of the Iron-Eating Beast."

"By the way, if the evolutionary form of the Iron-Eating Beast is really researched, will the Iron-Eating Beasts at the Iron Bamboo Breeding Base increase in price?"

Lin Xiuzhu was stunned, not expecting Shi Yu to have thought of this as well.

Generally speaking, if a new evolutionary form of a pet is discovered, or if a Beast Tamer uses a certain pet to dominate in a major competition, it will affect the price of the pet to some extent.

"According to market demand, it's really possible…"

She fell into deep thought, so should she let her dad catch more wild Iron-Eating Beasts to enrich the number of Iron-Eating Beasts at the breeding base?

Relying on the normal breeding of the Iron-Eating Beasts at the breeding base, she felt that the supply would not meet the demand. Sigh, why are Iron-Eating Beasts so infertile, Lin Xiuzhu's face turned slightly red.

…

Although he became the person in charge of the Iron-Eating Beast relic, Shi Yu was still like a junior most of the time.

He had many things to ask the Seven Heroes of Archaeology for advice.

These people may seem like slackers, but they aren't completely without real knowledge. After all, they have been studying at the university for some time.

In comparison, Shi Yu's knowledge reserves from his previous life don't seem to be of much use here. There are still many new things he needs to learn.

After determining the research direction, everyone began to carry out research in an orderly manner.

About two days later, Tutor Ding arrived at the Iron-Eating Beast relic site.

In the past two days, he had been assisting in analyzing the elemental composition of the metal fragment at the school. Now, after working overtime, he finally had some results.

"Nice to meet you, Student Shi Yu."

Tutor Ding was a middle-aged man in his thirties, gentle and refined, with a kind expression.

This was the first time he and Shi Yu had met, but both had heard of each other long ago.

"Hello, Tutor Ding."

Shi Yu shook hands with Tutor Ding.

"Tutor Ding."

The Seven Heroes of Archaeology were also very excited that the tutor had come this time.

Because this meant that there would be a small breakthrough in this research.

"After two days of analysis, we have been able to initially determine that this metal fragment is mainly composed of six metal components."

Tutor Ding held the data and began to communicate with everyone.

"Among the six metal mineral components, there are two types of level five metal resources, three types of level six metal resources, and one type of level seven metal resource."

Various cultivation resources can be divided into ten levels according to their grade.

For example, awakening period pets usually correspond to level one resources.

Resources above level five are basically the mainstream resources used by master-level Beast Tamers and even legendary Beast Tamers.

The fact that this alloy fragment contains six high-grade metal resource components made everyone excited and within expectations.

Excited because if this metal fragment is really part of the body of the Iron-Eating Beast's evolved form, then the race level of the Iron-Eating Beast's evolved form might not be low, after all, so many high-grade metal resources are used.

Within expectations because Eleven is already so strong before evolving, it is only natural for it to be powerful after evolving.

Tutor Ding took out the data of each metal resource and said:

"Among them, the level five metal mineral resources are Gold Jade Stone and Azure Heart Sand."

"The level six metal mineral resources are Mysterious Purple Copper Ore, Celestial Silver Iron, and Blue-Gray Chaos Gold."

"The level seven metal mineral resource is Meteorite Iron."

"Thank you for your hard work," Shi Yu said.

"No problem." Tutor Ding laughed and then said: "Next, does Student Shi Yu plan to start research from these resources?"

"These resources are valuable. Without a definite experimental research route, it may cost a lot of money."

"However, the school has some inventory of these resources. A certain amount is currently available, but more would have to be purchased."

At this time, Lin Xiuzhu and the Seven Heroes of Archaeology were stunned. Indeed, there are too many high-grade resources, and ordinary people can't afford to experiment!

If they really want to conduct in-depth research, the research funding may have to be in the hundreds of millions!

"Experiments are not necessary for now, let's start with the properties of these materials first," Shi Yu said.

After determining the components of the metal fragment, he also understood that researching the evolutionary form of the Iron-Eating Beast might be very difficult and costly.

Without a definite and feasible plan, it's better not to try blindly. Shi Yu doesn't want to waste tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars for nothing.

Researchers generally summarize feasible theories, analyze the success rate, and then conduct experiments when researching the evolutionary forms of pets. Few people directly feed or try things blindly with the materials. No one's money comes from thin air.

"Okay." Tutor Ding nodded and said: "If you need anything, just tell me."

…

Next, Shi Yu and his team had one more research task.

That is to study the properties of these six metal minerals and first theoretically analyze the different combination reactions between them.

These research-intensive tasks are not Shi Yu's main focus for now, so he handed them over to Lin Xiuzhu and the others.

What he is most concerned about is what the nine special symbols represent.

Shi Yu consulted a lot of materials from that era and found that these symbols only appeared on this Iron-Eating Beast relic. There are too few clues…

In the absence of enough clues, Shi Yu can only pin all his hopes on his special talent.

"Lu Qingyi said that the activation of the 'Listening to the Sounds of History' talent requires a certain opportunity."

"The more deeply the user interacts with that historical environment, the more deeply they explore, the deeper their obsession, and the more deeply they understand, the easier it is to listen to the sounds of history."

It is because of this statement that Shi Yu stares at that metal fragment every day and also looks at the murals of the relic with Eleven.

It looks a bit silly, but it is all in the hope of establishing a connection between himself and this relic.

In this way, about half a month has passed since Shi Yu came to Gu Du.

He goes to practice Virtualization in the morning and comes here to investigate in the afternoon. Time passes quickly.

For the past half month, Shi Yu has mainly focused on his own meditation and hasn't added points to Eleven or the Azure Silk Worm. They are all training on their own.

"Ying QAQ." Eleven doesn't care whether points are added or not.

It has been training especially hard these past half month, because Shi Yu has suspended adding points, which has finally given it a chance to catch its breath and finally pay back its debts.

However, what Eleven doesn't understand is why Shi Yu always holds it to look at the murals and metal fragments every day!

Shi Yu can't help it. Isn't this treating Eleven as a mascot!

He hopes to use Eleven's connection with the Iron-Eating Beast relic to allow himself to listen to the sounds of history.

However, after half a month, there still doesn't seem to be any substantial effect?

Even Eleven is advising Shi Yu to give up.

"Yingying!!!"

What kind of broken evolutionary form is that? It doesn't matter. It can still become the strongest like this!

Eleven lay on Shi Yu's shoulder, wriggled, then stood up, climbed onto Shi Yu's head, and said confidently.

"Sincerity will move mountains. Be good!" Shi Yu educated. Although that's what he meant, can't it have some reverence and save some face for the ancestors!

Crack!

However, just as Eleven finished speaking, the stone wall in front of Shi Yu and his team cracked a small gap, scaring Eleven and Shi Yu.

"Damn, what's going on." Shi Yu took a step back, his expression startled.

It cracked?

How does this situation feel so familiar.

"Ying." On Shi Yu's shoulder, Eleven asked cautiously if it had said something wrong?

Shi Yu fell into deep thought, suddenly feeling a bit abnormal heartbeat and a bit of dizziness.

In summary, it seems like he's getting the feeling.

He is gradually about to resonate with this relic.

"No, you didn't say anything wrong. Maybe this relic is special and needs to be provoked."

Shi Yu took a deep breath and said to the relic through mental telepathy: "The evolutionary form of the Iron-Eating Beast is nothing more than that."

Crack, the crack deepened.

"It's probably not a powerful evolutionary form either, otherwise it wouldn't have been lost."

Boom!

After saying this, the stone wall of the relic trembled slightly, and dirt fell. Shi Yu's brain suddenly roared.

He seemed to enter a special state when he explored the relic last time and saw a historical image.

Shi Yu was stunned…

"Damn, I seem to have found a new way to listen to the sounds of history? What about sincerity moving mountains? Why doesn't it follow the rules!"
