Chapter 274: Chapter 274

Opposite Principal Zheng, Nangong Yan casually crossed his long legs, his hands loosely folded in front of his abdomen, looking very relaxed. He smiled slightly, "How many B-level Magical Beasts do you need to accommodate to warrant 70 billion?"

The principal paused, "About 20."

Nangong Yan raised an eyebrow, a glint flashed beneath his golden glasses, "20 B-level beasts aren’t worth 70 billion."

"Adding 20 B-level Beastmasters, and 100 C-level Beastmasters." The principal glanced at Nangong Yan and said, "Is that sufficient then?"

As soon as the words dropped, everyone fell silent. Their gaze at the principal seemed to say, "What are you babbling here, are you crazy?"

Tang Family Head Tang Weicheng even chuckled, "Can you cultivate B-level Beastmasters?"

Qian Qi’s voice exploded like a cannonball: "Damn! Old Qian! He insulted you! Can you tolerate that? Well, I can’t! Quickly! Curse him back!"

Qian Qi: "Can you curse or not? Never mind, I’ll teach you! Just slap the table, stand up, and shout: What do you mean? You look down on me, don’t you? If I couldn’t cultivate B-level Beastmasters, would I rant here ?"

Qian Qi roared: "Trust me! Old Qian!"

The principal glanced at Tang Weicheng then suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and pointed at Tang Weicheng’s nose, cursing, "What do you mean? You look down on me, don’t you? If I couldn’t cultivate B-level Beastmasters, would I rant here ?"

"I wasn’t..." Seeing the principal’s outburst, Tang Weicheng couldn’t help but sweat slightly. After all, his father, Tang Yunde, had a close private relationship with the principal, and the Zheng Family and Mo Family were allied. If the two families joined forces, they could rival the lower-tier families. Principal Zheng becoming a principal wasn’t solely because of his academic and managerial prowess.

"You better not be!" The principal forcefully interrupted Tang Weicheng’s words and aggressively returned to his seat, his defiant attitude resembling an employee who knows they are terminally ill and doesn’t care about the bosses who’ve been oppressing him. "If I didn’t have the ability, why would I call you all here? Do I have nothing better to do? With this time, I’d rather go eat! Do you know how hungry I am!"

He cursed, "In the future, when I ask for money, don’t doubt me! Who knows more about beast management, you or I?"

This sudden tirade left everyone stunned:...

Though we don’t know much about beast management, we also don’t think you do...

His confident and arrogant attitude actually made it hard not to believe he might have really found a way to cultivate B-level Beastmasters!

Being a B-level Beastmaster means that you can more easily contract same-species B-level Magical Beasts, and even help other Beastmasters contract same-species B-level Magical Beasts. The Beast Taming Association has always used this as a temptation to control Advanced Beast Tamers, making it difficult for major families to have their own B-level Beastmasters...

"Principal Zheng, it would naturally be best if you could cultivate B-level Beastmasters for the public," Su Xingchen spoke then, breaking the silence, "However, 70 billion isn’t a small amount; you should let us see some results before paying, right?"

The principal animatedly rolled his eyes, grumbling, "Look at you, casually flapping your gums! Without money, how could I provide any results? Even going out to a restaurant requires payment before they’ll cook! You think you’re getting something for free!" Official source is NoveIＦire.net

"Principal, how about this?" Nangong Yan reached out with a smile, "We will first fund you with 10 billion, and once you’ve cultivated a B-level Beastmaster, we’ll promptly transfer the remaining 60 billion to you, fully supporting your university in cultivating B-level Beastmasters."

"Are you treating me like a beggar?" The principal impatiently patted the table again, "My 24 B-level Magical Beasts and 132 C-level Magical Beasts are all waiting! They need money for food! Money for housing! Money for cleaning dung! Money for brushing beast hair! I can’t make them sleep on the streets! Do you have any compassion? They’re still inexperienced magical beasts! Without human care, they’ll perish!"

At this moment, in Sealed City, A-level dungeon.

Seeing the principal’s online meltdown, Sikong Wang glanced at the face of Nangong Yan, who was confronted with a forced business smile. Sikong Wang temporarily set his projection to an idle mode.

He then murmured to Su Ang, who was next to him observing the meeting, "What’s up with the principal? He seems odd today?"

"Rarely does he get so crazy." Su Ang commented, "It’s quite a spectacle."

I asked not for your commentary!

"It’s the first time I’ve seen both your dad and Nangong Yan rendered speechless." Sikong Wang covered his mouth, whispering, "I never knew the principal had such skills!"

Su Ang lowered his gaze, pondering silently, not interested in why the principal was acting crazy but curious about why the principal dared to guarantee he could cultivate B-level Beastmasters.

"Do you think the principal can cultivate B-level Beastmasters?"

"Well..." Sikong Wang murmured, "Frankly, I don’t quite believe it. Just him saying he’ll bring 23 B-level Magical Beasts to the school seems absurd, but given the principal’s character, he wouldn’t lie, right? Lying in front of the Seven Great Families would be very absurd."

Both scenarios seemed so absurd that everyone was hesitating, unable to make a clear decision.

"Let’s first verify the status of the magical beasts then. 24 B-level Magical Beasts, and 132 C-level Magical Beasts..." In the conference room, Ye Family Master Ye Shi Yao spoke, "If you can ensure they remain peaceful, without causing chaos in Yan City and Awakener University, maybe we can consider putting more money upfront."

The principal leaned back in his chair, looking very nonchalant, "How much more money is that?"

"How about 35 billion?" Ye Yaobai looked at the others, "Each family puts up 5 billion first, but you must prioritize cultivating a B-level Beastmaster for each of the Seven Great Families."

The principal was silent for a moment.

He lowered his gaze and tapped on his Light Brain.

[Middle-aged man’s greatest fear: Going bald]: Qian Qi, what do you think?

Qian Qi sinisterly smiled: "It’s time to give them a little shock."

"Pose in the deepest, most pretentious way you can," Qian Qi stood tall atop the Demon Wolf General, the Snake Stick standing upright behind her, complementing her valiant posture, "Remember, Old Qian, this will be your life’s most glorious moment!"

The principal was silent, contemplating, and followed through.

He leaned forward on the conference table, arms propped up, hands crossed in front of his mouth, the hidden corners of which slowly curled into a wicked and insidious grin.

His shoulders trembled slightly with excitement, his dark eyes sparkling with the cunning and treachery of a millennia-old fox, his entire demeanor exuding a twisted and deranged aura due to losing control of his facial expression.

Shoulder trembling turned into upper body trembling, which ultimately became full-body trembling without any reprieve.

Even his legs couldn’t help but shake, making the whole conference table wobble, the Light Brain projector clashing with the tabletop and producing a "bang bang" sound as if a level 6 earthquake occurred.

He slowly said, "It’s time to give you a little shock."
