Just organizing a single research paper would take Jiang Xing at least an entire day.
Trying to organize so many papers within four days was impossible, even if Jiang Xing stayed awake the entire time.
So after painful reflection, he decisively gave up struggling and chose to use cheats directly.
Come forth, my external brain!
"Magnet Orbs, prepare to evolve!"
The Magnet Orbs Jiang Xing had contracted from the police department already possessed excellent aptitude to begin with, and after obtaining the Eternal Thunder Stone, they had been able to absorb endless lightning energy.
As early as a week ago, the last Magnet Orb had already broken through its bottleneck and become a Commander Level Pet Beast.
It was just that Jiang Xing had devoted all his attention to researching the new attribute, leaving him with no spare time to help them complete their evolution.
During this period, they had continued maintaining their Magnet Orb forms, flipping through materials, watching online classes, and studying foundational knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and related fields.
They even had to split up and take turns absorbing the power of the Thunder Stone, carefully controlling the evolution energy inside their bodies to prevent themselves from evolving into Multi-Magnet Entity...
Now, they finally no longer needed to suppress themselves and could fully unleash their potential!
Following beside Jiang Xing, they entered the laboratory paired with the "Mental Field Generator."
Inside this laboratory, the walls were covered with the mental isolation membranes gifted by Dr. Ail to accompany the generator.
To a certain extent, these membranes could isolate spiritual power, restricting the range of the mental field to the narrow room, thereby doubling the effectiveness of the mental field.
After the Magnet Orbs entered the laboratory, Jiang Xing closed the door and used the external control panel to begin adjusting the field effects.
As the mental field continuously shifted, the Magnet Orbs' minds, thoughts, and consciousness gradually began synchronizing—
Magnet Orbs were elemental lifeforms to begin with. Ever since their birth, the attraction between them had never disappeared.
They did not resist this synchronization.
On the contrary, because their minds were intertwining and they could sense each other's thoughts, they became incomparably excited, yearning for an even deeper level of fusion...
Until they became one as a whole!
As the spiritual fluctuations completed their unification, white light burst forth.
In the next instant, a brand-new Pet Beast appeared inside the laboratory.
The core structure of this Pet Beast was a gigantic silver magnetic orb, with a golden lightning emblem slanted across the front of its body, beside a pair of crimson eyes.
Five smaller rhombus-shaped magnets floated around the orb. Their surfaces were engraved with golden lightning runes, rotating around the main body like satellites while radiating brilliant golden lightning.
This was the evolved form—Giant Magnet Entity!
A current-like electronic voice rang out.
"Bzzzt!!"
"The evolution was an enormous success!"
Jiang Xing opened the door and looked at the Giant Magnet Entity in delight.
The evolution process of the Magnet Orbs had been carried out strictly according to the evolution paper published by the Fusion Research Institute. Jiang Xing had not done anything extra—aside from using the Eternal Thunder Stone during their upbringing.
Yet after evolving, it displayed enormous differences compared to the Giant Magnet Entity recorded in the Pet Beast Compendium.
Not only had its coloration changed, but it had also gained numerous lightning-related characteristics, making it look vastly cooler. No one would question it even if it were called a completely new form.
'To adapt to different natural environments, the same Pet Beast species may display different forms in different regions... these are also known as Regional Forms.'
'Clearly, these Magnet Orbs—born from the lightning of a Mythical Pet Beast and nurtured by the Eternal Thunder Stone—have undergone exactly this kind of transformation.'
Jiang Xing brought the Giant Magnet Entity to the testing room and conducted a complete examination on it.
Its attributes, Species Tier, and related aspects had not changed.
Only its talent showed an enormous difference compared to the Giant Magnet Entity recorded in the Pet Beast Compendium.
[Name: Giant Magnet Entity (Ultimate Lightning)]
[Attributes: Lightning, Metal, Psychic]
[Talent: Body of the Thunder God — The power of Lightning-type moves rises drastically, while their energy consumption is reduced by 90%.]
[Species Tier: Low Monarch Tier]
[Species Moves: Thunderstorm, Zap Cannon, Lightning Rod, Psychic Force...]
[Description: An elemental-type Pet Beast formed through the fusion evolution of six Magnet Orbs. Because it possesses six brains, its computational ability is said to surpass that of a supercomputer.]
Ordinary Giant Magnet Entities possessed either the talents "Super Magnetism" or "Mental Focus."
Those were already fairly good, but compared to "Body of the Thunder God," the gap was far too large.
The Lightning attribute amplification, combined with the talent amplification and the reduced consumption...
It practically turned the Giant Magnet Entity into a Lightning-type artillery platform, allowing it to unleash all kinds of Lightning-type moves without restraint and bombard enemies with overwhelming firepower. Its combat performance was absurdly outrageous!
This was a little too heaven-defying!
However, considering the resources the Giant Magnet Entity normally used, it no longer felt quite so exaggerated.
Compared to ordinary energy stones, an Eternal Thunder Stone definitely offered more than just superior durability.
The energy it contained certainly possessed some kind of unique property itself.
Combined with the fact that the Giant Magnet Entity had been born from the lightning of a Mythical Pet Beast and perhaps possessed unknown potential, the two had likely produced a special chemical reaction.
'This evolution form is probably impossible to replicate.'
After confirming this, Jiang Xing deleted that section of the data.
The Eternal Thunder Stone was too important. It could not be made public.
Since this form was difficult to reproduce anyway, there was no need to release it. He might as well seal it away entirely.
In any case, there were plenty of Pet Beast forms out there. One more or one less made no difference.
As for the Giant Magnet Entity looking far too unique, making its appearance difficult to conceal and likely to attract attention...
Don't ask. If anyone did, the answer would simply be that he had used some private breeding method.
With Jiang Xing's current academic standing, merely presenting a special Pet Beast form was enough that even if he offered no explanation at all, others would automatically fill in the details for him and complete the logic themselves.
After the evolution was complete, Jiang Xing handed the Eternal Thunder Stone back to the Giant Magnet Entity.
At the moment, there were no other Lightning-type Pet Beasts and no Lightning-related research projects. Keeping the stone with the Giant Magnet Entity was the only way to fully utilize its effects.
The Giant Magnet Entity split open down the middle like Pac-Man, revealing a metallic giant maw, then swallowed the Eternal Thunder Stone into its stomach. Its two tiny crimson eyes curved into a satisfied smile.
Its stomach was full now. Warm and comfortable.
Jiang Xing's eyes immediately lit up, and he decisively fed it several Lightning Cubes.
Previously, the Magnet Orbs had no mouths and could only "eat" by crushing the cubes and absorbing the energy. Now, they could finally be fed normally.
After feeding it, Jiang Xing also formed a Beast Taming Contract with the Giant Magnet Entity—
A Beast Taming Contract did not merely provide telepathic communication.
Whenever a Pet Beast leveled up or evolved, the Beast Tamer would also receive slight feedback through the contract, causing their spiritual power to strengthen and their physique to improve slightly.
Previously, when the Rainbow Dragon Hatchling and Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling had leveled up and evolved, Jiang Xing's mental strength had increased considerably.
His contract limit had risen to six, reaching the level of a Veteran Beast Tamer.
The Giant Magnet Entity became his fourth contracted Pet Beast.
And after completing the contract, the Giant Magnet Entity officially graduated from being an "intern" and became Jiang Xing's research assistant.
Its very first official task was to assist Jiang Xing in organizing various data sets and perfecting the research papers.
"Four days. Eight papers."
"Giant Magnet Entity, I believe in your abilities!"
"Let's begin!"
"Bzzzt!!"
