NOVPUBWait, it seemed that the fertility rate was even lower.
Ruby didn't even know how Professor Brown managed to make these magic beasts get pregnant and she didn't want to know either. She was afraid that Professor Brown's method will make her question the world's morality.
"Will there be special environment for their growth?" Ruby murmured in a low voice as she looked at the report in Professor Brown's hand.
"Perhaps but I don't know for sure. Samuel had said that these magic beasts have different living environment but I'm not sure how it affect their children." Professor Brown sighed.
If these magic beasts were similar to ordinary animals, it would have been so much easier. Unfortunately, it was not the case at all.
For some reason, similar species have different living environment.
Was it because of the mana contamination?
There were so many questions but so few answers.
Both Ruby and Professor Brown could guess that it might take decades for them to finish their research. Even if there were many researchers that Continent Z had deployed to study various matters, it was impossible to completely answer all of these questions anytime soon.
They had to be patient and continue their rigorous research.
"I plan to ask some questions to Samuel when he come back about where he found these magic beasts," Professor Brown said. "Perhaps it'll be the key to my successful research."
Ruby chuckled and nodded.
"Now that you have succeeded in extracting the dark magic element, do you want to change your research's direction?" Professor Brown asked nonchalantly.
"No." Ruby shook her head and looked at the corpse of the dark element magic beasts on the table. "I plan to study the specific percentage of the dark magic element contained within the organs and see how it affect the magic beasts. Perhaps I'll be able to understand how the mana is distributed within the magic beasts and how it'll affect their practice."
Professor Brown nodded. "If you need help, you can ask."
"Thank you, Professor."
Drap! Drap!
As the two of them planned to go back, a group of people came.
Menai, Professor Dit's other assistant, saw them and then pointed at Ruby. "It's her. She stole my research!"
Ruby's face turned black instantly. She looked at Menai murderously. This man and his professor had already made a lot of trouble when they were in the crack back then.
But at that time, she tolerated him.
Because Ruby knew very well that it was impossible for them to have conflict with the researchers from Continent Z's Capital City.
Those people who listened to their quarrel would never side with them.
But now…
Screw them!
"I have never even entered your laboratory. How could it be possible for me to steal your result? Don't slander me." Ruby sneered.
"No, you did steal my result. The one about the shadow creature is the research that my teacher and I have been working for a long time. How could it be possible for such a student without any foundation like you be able to succeed?" Menai's stance was really tough.
It seemed as if he would be able to get what he wanted as long as he came forward to Ruby and made her hand over her result.
"No!"
"Professor Dit, is this how you teach your student? To slander other people?" Professor Brown was really angry.
He might not have the highest qualification before the world changed, but he truly loved research. And what he hated the most was people who wanted to use their position to take up the result of other people.
Did they never think that these people had worked so hard to achieve their result?
To take the result that these people had poured out sweat and blood to achieve it, are you even human being?
"I have the report in my hand and…"
"There's no way the report would be the same." Ruby looked at Menai coldly. She felt that these two students from Professor Dits were really bad and neither of them were good.
The main reason why she could achieve result was because Riya handed her a lot of shadow creature's corpses. Without these, how could it be possible for her to do a lo too researches?
There were a lot of materials that she had wasted along the way because it was really difficult to fulfill what she wanted to do.
Now, these two b*stards wanted to take over what she had worked so hard to research?
No way!
"It's the truth!"
"No, you're…"
Bang!
…
When Mr. Jones came, the two sides were still scolding each other, but the place where they quarreled had been changed to the special detention room not far from the research institute.
After all, the work of these people involved a lot of confidentiality.
For safety reason, it would be better for them not to stay far away from the research institute.
The previous journey into the crack was an exception.
An exception that ended up badly.
Many people have been scolded badly because of that incident and no one dared to mention that matter again.
"Tell me what happened clearly." Mr. Jones truly have headache. He also recognized Ruby because she was one of the two girls who came with Amelia to City A Base back then. From this alone, he could guess that Ruby should have good relationship with Amelia and RIya.
Once this matter involved Riya, it might alarm Mr. A and the higher ups.
Headache!
"Sir! They stole my research result!" Menai quickly reported Ruby.
"I did not! Don't speak nonsense." Ruby's eyes were cold when she looked at Menai.
"But the parts that you used for research are all the part that belonged to me. It should have been written in the report!" Menai raised his chin proudly.
When the shadow creature was first killed, the corpse was divided into two and the parts that Ruby wrote were all under him.
How could Ruby do the research if it was not from him?
