Chapter 200: Nonsense
Chapter 200: Nonsense
As Shi Guifang entered the data repository, she noticed it was covered in dust, looking as if no one had been there for a long time. Her expression turned slightly unpleasant.
She had previously instructed her subordinates to clean it up, but to her dismay, they had not taken her orders seriously.
This irritated her, but with her high emotional intelligence, she maintained her composure, not letting her emotions show on the surface.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, she turned to Li Qian and offered an explanation, "Well, our breeding base has already started building a new cloud data repository, but it will take some time."
To make up for the poor impression, she continued without pause, "After the new cloud data repository is established, these paper materials will be scanned into it."
Finally, she added, "And I've also brought some breeding materials, which will be added to the repository later."
Li Qian's attention was already captivated by the numerous paper materials in the repository.
He didn't pay much attention to Shi Guifang's explanation, merely nodding and saying, "Hmm."
Then, without further words, he picked up a stack of documents and began reading.
It was a stack of research materials on Yellow-tailed Sparrow breeding, printed on ordinary A4 paper.
Li Qian knew that many breeding bases did not involve evolution research.
Breeders like him, who focused on companion beast evolution research, and breeding bases like Prairial, which specialized in studying companion beast evolution methods, were actually quite rare.
Most breeding bases primarily focused on fundamental companion beast research.
This included areas such as companion beast feeding, breeding, skill training, and even companion beast food and medicine.
These aspects of research were favored by small and medium-sized breeding bases because they required less investment, showed quick results, and were more likely to create economic value.
As for companion beast evolution, mutations, and potential breakthroughs, these high-difficulty research areas, despite their potential for immense influence and economic value, were rarely pursued by smaller breeding bases due to the substantial financial and human resources required, often leading to fruitless endeavors.
Before Gao Yahxin, the previous owner of Changfeng Breeding Base, had faced a similar situation, investing most of their resources into Crimson Rooster evolution research, only to end up selling the base after being scammed.
As for Gao Yahxin and her team, if they continued on their current path, even with their wealthy background, they would eventually run into financial troubles.
After briefly flipping through a few pages of the documents, Li Qian noticed that Shi Guifang was still standing there, looking a bit confused. He asked with a puzzled expression, "Ms. Shi, is there something else?"
Shi Guifang was taken aback by Li Qian's question and his use of the term "Ms. Shi," which, while not incorrect, sounded unpleasant to her ears. She was also unsure what he meant by his question.
Seeing Shi Guifang's confusion, Li Qian directly stated, "If there's nothing else, we can proceed with the contract."
"Oh, um..." Shi Guifang responded instinctively, then, realizing what Li Qian had said, immediately asked, "But, won't you discuss it further?"
Li Qian smiled faintly and spread his hands, "Discuss what? I think the terms you offered are great, and I'm satisfied."
Then, with a hint of playfulness in his tone, he added, "Or, are you dissatisfied with me?"
Professor Shi Guifang quickly dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand, "No, of course not. I'll go draft the contract now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the charming woman left the data repository with a light, quick step.
As for the other person wanting to browse here, they could continue to do so.
After all, it's just a soon-to-be-closed breeding base, and even if there are some valuable breeding materials inside, they probably aren't that significant.
Moreover, since they want to attract Li Qian, it's only right to offer something.
Whether Li Qian can achieve any results from these breeding materials is not something she cares about.
She only wants to spend money like a rich person.
After Professor Shi left, Li Qian continued to browse more casually, uninterrupted, "Although these are paper materials, they are categorized quite meticulously. It seems the previous old gentleman put a lot of thought into managing this data repository."
After muttering to himself, he didn't flip through the materials anymore but started skimming through them.
In doing so, he discovered something interesting, "So many breeding materials for flying companion beasts. It seems the Langela Cultivation Base also focused on researching flying companion beasts, no wonder Professor Shi renamed it Sky Realm."
As Li Qian spoke, this was indeed one of the critical factors for him choosing the Sky Realm Breeding Base.
"Gray Bean Pigeon - Storm Falcon - Blaze Sky Seat breeding materials!" As he casually browsed, a familiar set of words soon caught Li Qian's eye.
When he saw "Gray Bean Pigeon - Storm Falcon," his expression was relatively normal, but when he saw "Storm Falcon - Blaze Sky Seat," his eyes almost popped out.
His first reaction was... impossible, absolutely impossible!
How could the evolution method of Blaze Sky Seat be here? Blaze Sky Seat is a Holy Spirit Rank companion beast!
Its rank is even higher than Skygliding Eagle, and significantly so. Therefore, when Li Qian saw this label on the bookshelf, his first reaction was disbelief.
He didn't believe it at all! Without hesitation, he walked over, picked up the stack of materials, and began reading intently.
After reading for a while, his eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "Wow, these are just some speculations. I got my hopes up for nothing, but that's normal. If I found such valuable breeding materials in a small breeding base, that would be abnormal!"
Li Qian skimmed through the materials and found that the evolution methods from Gray Bean Pigeon to Storm Falcon were described without much issue and didn't differ significantly from what he knew.
However, the evolution method from Storm Falcon to Blaze Sky Seat was pure nonsense.
It was baseless gossip—nonsense.
There was no evidence, and it was almost entirely conjecture.
Li Qian was very disappointed and put down the materials, but just then, a prompt sound suddenly rang out.
【Inspiration Points +3, Current Task Progress 99%】
"What's this?" Li Qian listened to the prompt in his mind, his thoughts struggling to keep up.
What's going on? Was the nonsense in this material actually hitting on something?
