Chapter 160: Task Two
Chapter 160: Task Two
Dinner was served within the base, and although it was a simple meal, it was quite decent, accompanied by a jug of fruit wine.
Li Qian seemed to be in high spirits as he ate, and during the meal, he revealed his decision to attend Shazhou Beastmaster Academy.
Gao Yahxin was still somewhat surprised by this.
Initially, she had assumed that Li Qian would most likely choose to go to the Southern Capital and attend Jiangnan Beastmaster Academy.
Little did she expect that he would opt for the remote Shazhou Beastmaster Academy.
Gao Yahxin was perplexed and asked for the reason behind his choice.
Li Qian didn't hide anything and repeated the conditions offered by Shazhou Beastmaster Academy.
After hearing Li Qian's explanation, not only Gao Yahxin, Lu Xiaoli, and Wen Wan, but even Wu You, the Wing Clan woman, couldn't help but give Li Qian a surprised look.
The conditions were indeed a bit exaggerated, no wonder Li Qian chose to look far and wide.
Apart from their surprise, a hint of envy and anticipation also crept into their hearts.
Especially Lu Xiaoli and Wen Wan, at this moment, they were incredibly impressed by the collaboration proposal Gao Yahxin had suggested.
This wasn't just a collaboration; it was like finding a true savior.
Who knows, their project might just have a chance to be revived.
At this moment, they finally understood why Gao Yahxin had chosen to trust and hand over all the information related to the evolution of Crimson Feather Chickens.
When encountering such a legendary figure, one must naturally disclose everything without reservation.
The dinner was enjoyable, and after the meal, Li Qian and Gao Yahxin strolled back together.
The direction they were heading was naturally the White Tower where Li Qian was temporarily staying.
The distance from the base's main building to the White Tower where Li Qian was staying wasn't far, and they soon arrived at the entrance.
"Don't worry too much about the research on Crimson Feather Chickens. We are already prepared for how challenging this project might be."
After escorting Li Qian to the White Tower, Gao Yahxin spoke, "So many excellent breeders have dedicated themselves to this research without any significant results, which speaks to its complexity."
Li Qian understood Gao Yahxin's implied meaning and smiled, nodding, "Rest assured, I'll do my best within my capabilities."
After a brief chat, Li Qian returned to the White Tower. It was still early, and he didn't go to bed right away. Instead, he put on the VR goggles and started reviewing the material.
The content he was reviewing was, of course, the information Gao Yahxin had organized regarding the evolution of Crimson Feather Chickens.
Li Qian was engrossed in the material and soon immersed himself in the ocean of information.
Time passed by unnoticed, and when he finally snapped back to reality, the full moon was already high in the sky.
He glanced at the upper right corner of the VR goggles, and it was already 10 p.m.
Taking off the VR goggles, he freshened up and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes to contemplate.
The White Tower had many rooms, and Li Qian's room was on the top floor, the third floor. The moonlight streaming in gave the room a serene and tranquil atmosphere.
After a moment of thought, Li Qian furrowed his brows and silently summoned the task panel in his mind.
Ever since he advanced to the elite rank, the task panel had changed, allowing him to set up two tasks simultaneously.
The first task was "Evolution from Tiny Locusts to Skydashing Falcon," and the progress had already reached ninety-six percent. The second task slot was still empty.
After careful consideration, he decided to set up this second task.
Chapter: The Evolution of Crimson Feather Chickens
This decision was made after carefully weighing the pros and cons.
Firstly, it was the value of the task itself.
As one of the Four Wastes, the Crimson Feather Chickens, even if not within the dimensional fissure, had an astonishingly high population on their home planet.
Researching their potential evolution could create another sensation.
The impact would undoubtedly rival the revelation of the evolution from Koi to Green-Scaled Dragon.
It would bring tangible benefits to both himself and the Prairial Breeding Base.
This achievement might even earn him the title of a Senior Breeder.
Additionally, there was the benefit to the Longfeng Cultivation Base.
If he could truly uncover the evolution method of Crimson Feather Chickens, it would effortlessly resolve the urgent issue of the Longfeng Cultivation Base.
He could also repay a portion of the favor owed to Gao Yaxin.
Furthermore, and most importantly, there was the information provided by Gao Yaxin.
This comprehensive data, if thoroughly analyzed, should push the task progress beyond eighty percent, according to Li Qian's estimation.
With this eighty percent task progress as a foundation, he had the confidence to establish this Companion Beast research task.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to establish such a task, occupying a task slot for an extended period.
Lastly, it was the progress of Task One.
This task had already reached ninety-six percent completion, and Li Qian believed that with sustained effort, completing it before the start of the semester wouldn't be difficult.
If he didn't finish it, it wasn't a big deal.
After all, at his current rate of strength improvement, it would only take one semester to reach the Commander Rank.
Based on his previous experience, he was highly likely to secure another task establishment slot.
In summary, even if this challenging task couldn't be completed immediately, it wouldn't significantly impact Li Qian. This was the reason he dared to establish this task.
---
The night passed uneventfully, and the next morning, Li Qian woke up early.
After waking, he didn't delay. Without even stopping to groom or wash, he headed straight to a small forest about eight hundred meters from the White Tower.
According to the information he noted during his previous visit, this should be the breeding ground for Crimson Feather Chickens.
The data described that a small portion of Crimson Feather Chickens that had mastered the Light Energy Storage skill would concentrate on using this skill every day at sunrise.
However, Gao Yaxin hadn't researched the reason behind this behavior.
Instinctively, Li Qian felt that this skill wasn't ordinary. So, he prepared to observe it in person.
Quickly arriving at the small forest, Li Qian's gaze swept across, and soon he spotted a layer of chicken droppings at the base of a large tree.
Following the trunk upward, he saw two extraordinary roosters with crimson feathers covering their bodies, perched on a branch.
These were the Crimson Feather Chickens.
Li Qian continued his scan and soon spotted more Crimson Feather Chickens on the branches or twigs of other trees.
These chickens were all in high spirits.
They grasped the wood with their claws, firmly securing themselves to the tree, steady and stable.
Li Qian remained patient, quietly observing.
