Chapter 199: The Data Repository
Chapter 199: The Data Repository
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Li Qian didn't directly bring up the topic of leaving. He decided to observe the situation first.
If the other party was sincere, he could temporarily affiliate with them for a while. Although Li Qian believed that the woman before him, Shi Guifang, was most likely a rich second-generation or a beastmaster second-generation, and her intentions for establishing this breeding base were questionable, nothing was absolute. Perhaps she genuinely wanted to accomplish something.
Whether she was truly sincere or not didn't matter to Li Qian, as long as she didn't disturb his research.
As long as she could do that, Li Qian wouldn't mind leaving her with some minor achievements during this one month.
With this in mind, Li Qian didn't say much and followed Shi Guifang on a tour of the Sky Realm Breeding Base.
After a quick tour, Li Qian realized that the breeding base was indeed not very large, just as he had expected.
It was only slightly larger than his own Prairial Breeding Facility.
Perhaps noticing Li Qian's indifference, Shi Guifang smiled awkwardly, "Although in terms of scale, our Sky Realm Breeding Base isn't a major breeding facility."
"But we also have our advantages..."
Li Qian's face showed a hint of interest upon hearing this, "Oh, tell me more."
Shi Guifang was slightly taken aback by Li Qian's response, probably not expecting him to respond like that.
But she quickly recovered and said, "This breeding base was originally called the Langela Cultivation Base, and I've only recently taken over."
"After taking over, I spent a considerable amount of resources to renovate the entire base."
"While the hardware facilities may not compare to those of large-scale breeding bases, they are undoubtedly top-notch among breeding bases of the same level."
Li Qian nodded slightly at her words, agreeing with Shi Guifang's description, which he had noticed during the tour.
The Sky Realm Breeding Base was indeed only slightly larger than his Prairial Breeding Facility, but its facilities were luxurious.
At the very least, for a breeding base of this level, it could be considered "luxurious."
Of course, whether this "luxury" was a good thing was a matter of opinion.
After all, there's a saying that goes, "Don't fear the rich second-generation enjoying life, but fear them when they strive for improvement."
Seeing Li Qian's nod, seemingly agreeing with her statement, Shi Guifang continued, "Additionally, I've made significant reforms regarding the base's personnel."
"I let go of almost all the employees who were just going through the motions, and recruited an entirely new team. As you saw during the tour, all the staff here are young, which is another one of my goals—to build a youthful and energetic team."
Li Qian nodded again, listening attentively without commenting.
The petite girl before him seemed to have her own ideas.
Whether these ideas could be implemented and lead to real achievements was another matter.
After walking around the base, Li Qian voiced his request, "Could you take me to your base's data repository?"
Every breeding base had its own data repository, and in a sense, the data repository was the true essence of a breeding base.
Li Qian made this request, but it was just a passing thought.
He was well aware that as a new Breeder who had just come to apply, the Data Repository would likely not be accessible to him.
So, after making the request, Li Qian had already prepared himself for rejection.
However, to his surprise, after a moment of thought, Shi Guifang agreed without hesitation.
"Sure, I'll take you there now."
Not only did Shi Guifang agree to Li Qian's request, but she also explained, "But I've only recently taken over this Breeding Base, so I'm not entirely sure what's in the Data Repository."
Li Qian was slightly taken aback by her words, but he quickly recovered.
Without hesitation, he followed Shi Guifang's footsteps and headed towards a specific direction within the Breeding Base.
As they walked and chatted, they soon arrived at the rooftop of the White Castle.
Upon reaching the rooftop, they turned a corner and saw a towering iron door.
Shi Guifang led the way forward.
There was a screen above the iron door.
As Shi Guifang's iris scan was approved, the iron door slowly opened.
Li Qian's gaze intensified, and he quickly noticed that the space beyond the door was not small.
What surprised him even more was the faint scent of decay emanating from within the door.
Li Qian couldn't help but wave his hand in front of his nose after smelling this odor.
At this moment, he truly believed the words of the young girl before him.
She probably didn't know what information was stored within.
From the current situation, it was evident that the Data Repository hadn't been accessed in quite some time.
Li Qian furrowed his brows slightly, not wasting any time, and entered without hesitation.
Once inside the Data Repository, he immediately realized that the rooftop repository was quite spacious.
It was estimated to be over 200 square meters.
Inside were rows of shelves resembling bookcases.
On the shelves were various paper documents.
Li Qian was slightly taken aback by this sight.
In modern society, who still used paper to store precious Breeding data?
Most of it was stored in the cloud database within the base.
With VR glasses, one could easily access the base's intranet and browse the data.
According to Li Qian's knowledge, apart from some ancient libraries, almost no Breeding Base used paper for data storage anymore.
Noticing Li Qian's curious expression, Shi Guifang explained, "Most of the data in this Breeding Base is stored here."
"The Breeding Base used to have an elderly person who wasn't comfortable with high-tech stuff and preferred to keep backups on paper."
As for where that elderly person was now, it was likely they had either retired or passed away.
The dust in the Data Repository indicated that it hadn't been maintained for some time.
And from Shi Guifang's tone, it seemed she admired this elderly person and wouldn't have let them go.
Li Qian nodded slightly, not saying much, and calmly stepped inside.
His gaze gradually focused on the nearest row of bookshelves.
