Chapter 158: The Issue with Longfeng Cultivation Base
After listening to Gao Yahxin's tale, Li Qian didn't hesitate and readily agreed.
Merely assisting in the analysis of the evolution process would earn him the favor of acquiring promising Koi in Southern Capital.
For Li Qian, this collaboration was clearly more beneficial than detrimental, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Seeing Li Qian's agreement, Gao Yahxin was delighted.
With Li Qian's involvement, she believed the research would undoubtedly progress.
While she didn't expect it to be completed directly, she was confident there would be some gains.
This was her faith in Li Qian, as well as her confidence in her own judgment.
That afternoon, the four of them met up with another shareholder who had returned from outside, the very Lu Xiaoli that Wen Wan had mentioned. All five of them headed straight to a high-end restaurant in Southern Capital.
Gao Yahxin generously ordered a table full of dishes, a gesture to welcome Li Qian and Wu You.
During the meal, Li Qian didn't say much but listened as Gao Yahxin and the others discussed the matters of Longfeng Cultivation Base.
Although it was a conversation among four women, Li Qian discerned a hidden meaning in their words.
Many of their statements seemed intentionally directed at him.
This put some pressure on him.
They talked about the current problems and challenges faced by Longfeng Cultivation Base.
Hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Indeed, every family has its own set of challenges.
Longfeng Cultivation Base, with its grand scale, rich heritage, and prestigious three-star status, was facing a significant issue: the research project left behind by the previous owner.
This project focused on the evolution of Crimson Feather Chickens.
Initially, the potential of this project was a significant factor in attracting the current owners to the base.
Now, as expected, they had fallen into the same trap.
This project was indeed a bottomless pit, having not only consumed the previous owner but also draining Gao Yahxin's team of their vitality and resources.
At present, most of their energy and resources were devoted to this very project.
They had reached a critical juncture where they could barely afford to divert attention elsewhere.
Despite other ongoing projects at the base, the evolution of Crimson Feather Chickens was currently the top priority.
Without significant progress in this research, the minor studies and meager results wouldn't be enough to maintain the base's current star rating.
If Longfeng Cultivation Base were to lose its star status, the consequences for the entire base would be dire.
To put it bluntly, they might even be blamed for the base's downfall.
This was why Gao Yahxin, in her desperation, had pinned her hopes on Li Qian.
Looking back now, she found it a bit amusing.
Even if Li Qian was exceptionally talented, he was still just a high school graduate.
Without prior experience with Crimson Feather Chickens, it was highly unlikely that he could produce any substantial results in such a short time.
Nevertheless, Gao Yahxin was pleasantly surprised by Li Qian's immediate agreement.
At the very least, it would bring the Longfeng Cultivation Base and Li Qian, the breeding genius, closer together.
After listening to Gao Yahxin's account, Li Qian ate while asking to see the breeding data related to Crimson Feather Chickens, offering to omit crucial details.
"Gao Yahxin shook her head at the suggestion, "There's no need for that. I trust you completely, Li Qian."
"So, we will organize and give you all the research results from the past three years, including the research data of the previous owner of this base, as well as some related information I obtained during my visit to the Prairial Breeding Facility."
Upon hearing Gao Yahxin's statement, Li Qian's expression turned to one of realization, "So that's why Sister Yahxin went to the Prairial Breeding Facility before."
"Otherwise, what would I be doing in a place like Ling Shui City? Of course, I'm also grateful for that trip, or I wouldn't have met you, Li Qian." Gao Yahxin spoke sincerely.
Li Qian nodded upon hearing this, not giving it much thought.
In fact, Gao Yahxin's previous trip to the Prairial Breeding Facility was supposedly to help her former owner maintain the operation of the entire breeding facility.
Li Qian, however, was skeptical about this.
Because at that time, the Prairial Breeding Facility was also plagued with numerous issues, almost to the point of being beyond repair.
Now, after listening to Gao Yahxin's explanation, he finally understood what had happened.
After lunch, the group returned to the breeding facility.
Led by Gao Yahxin, Li Qian toured the facility.
It must be said that the entire breeding facility was indeed vast.
At the very least, compared to his Prairial Breeding Facility, it was at least three times larger.
Whether in terms of area or the number of companion beasts, it was the same.
However, Li Qian also noticed that while there were many companion beasts, the number of high-value ones was not significant.
This also indicated that the Longfeng Cultivation Base had already shown signs of decline.
That afternoon, after the tour of the breeding facility, Gao Yahxin led Li Qian to a small white tower.
The white tower was not far from the blue tower.
It was quite convenient for communication.
Inside the white tower, Gao Yahxin arranged accommodation for Li Qian.
Furthermore, she specifically assigned an aunt to take care of his daily meals and living arrangements.
The white tower was relatively quiet.
It was more suitable for research.
That afternoon, Li Qian stayed at the breeding facility.
After settling in, he immediately called his family to update them on his situation.
Then, he directly called the flying ship company to cancel his ticket.
Given the current circumstances, it was unlikely that he could repurchase tickets and travel to Zhonghai City within seven days.
So, he couldn't waste the money.
Back in the white tower, Li Qian immediately retrieved the data given by Gao Yahxin to review.
The VR goggles displayed all the evolution data of the Crimson Feather Chicken.
Li Qian was so engrossed that he didn't realize how much time had passed when a beautiful figure suddenly appeared outside the white tower.
Noticing the visitor, Li Qian greeted her, "Sister Wu You, what brings you here?"
Wu You pouted, "The aunt at the base has prepared the meal, and I'm here to invite you for dinner."
"By the way, I have a question for you..." She continued, maintaining her usual tone.
Li Qian responded without much thought, "What is it?"
"Before, when I was rescued and boarded the rescue ship, why didn't you remind me before getting on?" Wu You asked.
"What is it?" Li Qian was momentarily caught off guard and asked subconsciously.
