Chapter 330: Chapter 330
The White Extreme Rat conveyed the overheard conversation back to Qian Qi through consciousness, letting him clearly understand the content of their dialogue.
Yan Wuji: "Mr. Li has come at a perfect time. Just recently, a few B-level young beasts arrived, along with two B-level Magic Beast Eggs. You might find them interesting."
Mr. Li: "Really? It seems my grandson has a destiny with them."
Yan Wuji: "Hahaha, your grandson is only 16 years old. If he successfully contracts a B-level Magic Beast, he will surely stand out from the crowd. Everyone will envy your grandson for accomplishing it so early."
Mr. Li: "I’ll take your kind words. But I’ve heard... even ordinary people can contract Magic Beasts. Though the conditions are stringent, it’s not impossible?"
After a moment of silence, Yan Wuji laughed heartily.
Yan Wuji: "Where did Mr. Li hear this? How can that be possible?"
Mr. Li: "President, my eldest grandson is now 32 and hasn’t awakened any skills. He lacks the ability to protect himself, which worries me as a grandfather. If you could truly help him contract a Magic Beast, the land in the eastern part of the city..."
Yan Wuji: "Hahaha, since Mr. Li is so keen on this, let’s go inside for a detailed discussion..."
The White Extreme Rat "squeaked" twice in Qian Qi’s mind, indicating both men had entered the room and it couldn’t follow.
"Come back." Qian Qi dipped his head and took a small sip of his drink, casually saying, "It seems the Beast Taming Association has long known the fact that ordinary people can also contract Magic Beasts."
As for why it hasn’t been announced to the world, there might be many reasons: a clever reason might be the scarcity of young beasts and Magic Beast Eggs, which can only be primarily provided to those upper-level figures who have the capability and resources to cultivate Contracted Beasts; a foolish reason might be to maintain the rarity of Beast Masters, granting them an absolutely rare and noble status in this world.
But regardless of the reason, if she wants to achieve National Beast Taming in the future, she will face this massive entity, the Beast Taming Association.
Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, a foe or a friend, she cannot be sure.
Moreover, regardless of whether they are enemies or allies, she cannot avoid the outcome of "fattening the Beast Taming Association," as the most scarce resources will always be controlled by the upper-level figures, no matter the world or era. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
"Well, I’m no different from them, all for one’s life and interests." Qian Qi finished her drink in one go, washed the glass clean, returned it to its place, and called out to the Emperor Pythons, "Enough playing, let’s go."
The Emperor Python King reluctantly left the arcade machine and asked Qian Qi, "Human, do you have these arcade machines at home? Don’t tell me you don’t?"
"Don’t worry, if you like them, I’ll buy them for you." Qian Qi sighed, "But you can only play for two hours a day."
"Why?" The Emperor Python King complained, "I’m very idle every day!"
Qian Qi smiled slightly, "Because if you play too much, you’ll go blind."
The Emperor Python King was shocked: !!!
Then forget it! I’ll only play for two hours a day!
Su Xingchen received a message from Qian Qi and immediately put down his tasks to come to her tent.
Upon entering the tent, Su Xingchen saw Qian Qi’s spotless, flawless face; he immediately realized that Qian Qi hadn’t intended to hide her identity from him. He couldn’t help but smile slightly, "Qian Qi, you returned quickly."
"Luck was on my side; I received the desired information." Qian Qi pointed opposite, smiling as she said, "Sit down, let’s talk."
Su Xingchen sat cross-legged, "What information did you get?"
"The young beasts and Magic Beast Eggs are controlled by the Beast Taming Association, right?" Qian Qi asked, "You must have known this already?"
"Yes indeed." Su Xingchen nodded, "Why are you investigating this?"
Qian Qi glanced at him, "It seems these Magic Beast Eggs and young beasts are also provided to Beast Masters within the Seven Great Families, right? Like Sikong Wang’s Bai Yin that accompanied him growing up, isn’t it obtained ?"
Su Xingchen didn’t deny it, "Indeed, you’re very perceptive."
"So do you know if they also provide the Magic Beast Eggs and young beasts to others?" Qian Qi teasingly asked, "Not as playthings, but as Contracted Beasts."
"Are you saying providing them to Beast Masters of other forces? Although the Seven Great Families hold power now, there are many other upper-tier forces. They naturally have the capital to selectively pick young beasts and Magic Beast Eggs." Su Xingchen explained, "So the Seven Great Families don’t have a monopoly on young beasts..."
"Haha." Qian Qi chuckled, "It seems you didn’t understand my point."
Su Xingchen was startled, receiving Qian Qi’s meaningful look, connecting dots, he was shaken, "You’re saying... they’re not providing them to Beast Masters... but to!"
But to those upper-level figures without Beast Taming Talent!
If what Qian Qi says is true, it indicates the Beast Taming Association already knows that humans don’t need Beast Taming Talent to contract Magic Beasts!
"Is the Beast Taming Association ultimately a foe or friend? It’s up to you to probe further." Qian Qi retracted her meaningful gaze, smiled, and said, "Someone like me, a small figure, cannot afford to provoke such a grand force; it’s better to keep a low profile."
Su Xingchen glanced rather coldly at Qian Qi; she dared to showcase herself in front of the Seven Great Families; would she truly fear a Beast Taming Association?
"Well then, you once said the future mainstream involves Beast Taming, does it relate to this?" Su Xingchen pondered a moment before asking, "After all, the young beasts and Magic Beast Eggs are still scarce and might not easily become mainstream?"
"Judging the current situation, that’s certainly so." Qian Qi rubbed his chin, "But who knows about the future? Every day things change rapidly; no one can be sure what tomorrow holds."
"So, what was your initial step in the plan?" Su Xingchen asked, "The first step to make Beast Taming mainstream."
Qian Qi smiled slightly, "Magic Potion proliferation, fearless warriors."
Awakened Warriors will become the first wave of mainstream Beast Taming army.
After the conversation with Qian Qi, Su Xingchen’s mood couldn’t settle for a long time.
He raised his eyes to the sunset sky, where large orange-yellow clouds remained beautifully unchanged. They unmistakably symbolized twilight and decline, yet everyone knew after the sunset plunges into long darkness, the sun will rise again from the east.
Qian Qi’s arrival is no longer a mere miracle but rather a divine act, yet does this world truly have a god?
Su Xingchen strolled slowly through the camp, clearly aware that human’s body and intellect have limits. Qian Qi’s knowledge and background, when viewed based on her lifestyle and experiences, suggest she shouldn’t possess such wisdom.
Or perhaps, is she truly a human from this world?
Thinking about the Poisonous Venomous Python speaking of humans existing on their continent too, Su Xingchen’s suspicion grew deeper, prompting him to doubt whether Qian Qi is a human from the instance, hence her familiarity with matters concerning Demons.
But regardless, she’s now part of this world, and if she wants to live here peacefully, she must contribute her strength, cooperating to solve the unstable instance, even when facing... S-level Demons.
It’s not just humans striving for salvation; the world is also trying hard to save itself.
After Su Xingchen departed, the sky gradually lowered its curtain of night and stars, those stars flickering weakly in the darkness, resembling dying planets emitting their final cries for help...
Ultimately, a certain star vanished.
