Chapter 206: The Reward
Chapter 206: The Reward
With a smile, Shi Yulian began to explain, "Rest assured, you didn't steal anything. You merely deciphered the evolutionary method. These things happen daily in Dong Xia."
Without pausing, she continued, "Even if you decipher it, it doesn't mean that the evolutionary method will lose its value."
Listening to Shi Yulian's words, Li Qian nodded subtly.
This conversation, touching on some secrets, was something he had never come across in his usual reading of various books, so he listened with extra care and attention.
"Normally, even if you master an existing evolutionary method, breeders will not make it public."
Seeing Li Qian's interest, Shi Yulian didn't mind elaborating, "In the end, it's just sharing the benefits with one more person. It won't affect the big picture at all; at most, it's just a bit of competition and a price war."
"The most crucial point is that the evolution from Gray Bean Pigeon to Storm Falcon is just an initial Overlord-rank evolutionary method. The two beast taming families in the Capital City won't do anything foolish because of this."
At this point, she changed the topic, and a strange expression appeared on her face, "So you don't need to worry about deciphering the evolutionary method. Instead, we, who witnessed the entire process, owe you a huge favor."
A pet beast at the initial Overlord-rank was nothing to Shi Yulian, but an evolutionary method for an Overlord-rank pet beast was different.
Especially when it was a Gray Bean Pigeon, a pet beast with an exceptionally high population and common occurrence, its value was even more prominent.
After saying this and glancing at Li Qian, Shi Yulian turned her gaze to Shi Guifang.
The evolutionary method from Gray Bean Pigeon to Fiery Storm Falcon was indeed valuable, but it didn't hold much significance for a grand beastmaster like Shi Yulian.
Moreover, Li Qian's current identity was as a breeder at the Sky Realm Breeding Base, and theoretically, the research results should be shared with the breeding base.
Of course, due to the special circumstances of the Sky Realm Breeding Base, Li Qian wasn't actually bound by this.
However, this time, he was voluntarily offering his breeding results, which was a different matter.
Li Qian could offer his breeding results without expecting any reward, but Shi Guifang couldn't remain indifferent.
Otherwise, it would chill Li Qian's heart and go against her original intention of treating him with utmost respect.
Shi Guifang was a rather clever woman, and she almost immediately understood the deeper meaning behind her aunt's gaze.
Turning to Li Qian, she organized her thoughts and said with a grateful expression, "To be honest, Li Breeder, this evolutionary method is truly precious, and we are indebted to you."
Hearing these words, Li Qian remained silent, not showing any reaction. He wanted to see what conditions the woman before him would offer.
Shi Guifang didn't keep Li Qian waiting; she soon made a promise, "However, for my Sky Realm Breeding Base, this evolutionary method is indeed very important. So, I'll boldly accept this evolutionary method, but rest assured, I will definitely show my gratitude."
"Little Boss, you're too kind. The reason I'm offering this evolutionary method is also because, during this time, I've felt very comfortable at the breeding base." Li Qian responded with equal politeness.
His words had a clear implication—it was a gift.
Of course, this was just a polite gesture, and in reality, it was a convenient opportunity.
After all, it was the golden ancestral bird of "Senior Shi" that aided in the evolution, and with the golden ancestral bird's spiritual wisdom, even if they wanted to hide it, it would be impossible.
It was better to go with the flow.
More importantly, Li Qian was well aware that the core of this evolution lay in the second stage, which was the evolutionary method from the Fiery Storm Falcon to the Fiery Skygliding Eagle.
Compared to this evolutionary method, the evolution from the Gray Bean Pigeon to the Fiery Storm Falcon was merely an appetizer.
"No, such a precious evolutionary method, our breeding base cannot accept it directly," Shi Guifang insisted.
She thought for a moment and then offered a specific reward, "Like this, you mentioned earlier that after the evolution is complete, you would help the breeding base evolve a companion beast at cost price."
"I accept this condition, so you need to take the time to help the breeding base evolve a Fiery Storm Falcon."
"As for the evolutionary method from the Gray Bean Pigeon to the Fiery Storm Falcon, since we have witnessed the entire process, it's too late to avoid it. We might as well consider it as purchased by the breeding base."
"As for the purchase price, what do you think of ten billion Federation Credits, fifty thousand contribution points, two sets of Imperial-grade extraordinary resources, plus a lifetime honorary breeder position at our breeding base?"
Wow!
Upon hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
She started with ten billion Federation Credits, and even now, with Li Qian's modest wealth, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
Fifty thousand Federation contribution points were also a considerable amount. If he were to convert them into Federation Credits, one contribution point could, at most, be exchanged for a small amount of Federation Credits.
And often, they were hard to come by.
Federation contribution points were valuable. Some rare resources or companion beasts required not only Federation Credits but also contribution points for purchase.
There were two ways to obtain Federation contribution points under normal circumstances. The first and most common method, as well as the easiest, was to directly accept tasks from the Beast Taming Center.
These tasks were diverse, some released by various Dongxia groups, some by major families, and many by the Federation itself.
For tasks released by the Federation, the rewards often included contribution points. As for the various groups and families, they would also offer contribution points to increase the appeal of their tasks, but the primary reward was still Federation Credits.
In addition to this, the second source of Federation contribution points, and the source of Li Qian's current five thousand contribution points, was making a direct contribution to the Federation.
Li Qian's five thousand contribution points were awarded for his several confrontations with cultist organizations, specifically granted by the Public Security Bureau.
Apart from Federation Credits and contribution points, the two sets of Imperial-grade extraordinary resources and the lifetime honorary breeder position at Sky Realm were also substantial rewards.
The Imperial-grade resources spoke for themselves, and the lifetime honorary breeder position carried significant weight.
With this lifetime honorary breeder identity, it meant that Li Qian could collect a salary from the breeding base every month. Even if he didn't go to the breeding base and chose to stay at home and sleep, he could still receive this salary, not much different from receiving money directly.
Of course, Li Qian was not the type to take advantage. He had already decided that he would occasionally provide guidance to the breeders at the breeding base in the future.
