Chapter 207: Poaching
Chapter 207: Poaching
The reward offered by Shi Guifang left Li Qian quite surprised.
However, upon further reflection, it seemed rather reasonable.
Aside from the intangible benefits of the hidden reputation gained by the Sky Realm Breeding Base after mastering the evolutionary method of the Gray Bean Pigeon to the Fiery Storm Falcon, there were also tangible gains that were clearly visible and tangible.
The market value of a Storm Falcon was close to 30 million, and even with a discount, it would still be worth at least 25 million.
The cost of evolution, the Gale Bamboo, was valued at around 8 to 9 million.
A simple calculation would reveal this.
With each evolution of a Fiery Storm Falcon, the Sky Realm could earn a profit of at least 15 million.
Although the conditions offered by Shi Guifang were indeed high, in the face of such continuous benefits, it wasn't that bad.
At most, within a year, the Sky Realm Breeding Base could recoup all the costs.
Just as the three were in conversation, Xiao Hui, who had already completed his evolution, excitedly soared through the sky and then landed on a terrace not too far from Li Qian.
Li Qian smiled and praised, "Not bad, very good."
He had originally wanted to continue encouraging Xiao Hui, as he had only completed one stage of evolution, but considering that Shi Guifang and Shi Yulian were also present, he decided not to speak.
The evolutionary method of the Gray Bean Pigeon to the Fiery Storm Falcon, although not of exceptionally high value, would still be a tangible benefit to Li Qian if he contributed it.
However, the evolutionary method of the Fiery Storm Falcon to the Fiery Skygliding Eagle was different.
That was an Imperial-grade evolutionary method.
Li Qian dared not test the greed of others with such a terrifying benefit.
After all, human hearts were the most vulnerable to testing.
So, in his heart, he had already made up his mind.
He would not reveal the upcoming evolution experiments.
Either he would leave the breeding base or find a secret place to conduct them.
The Sky Realm Breeding Base was quite large, so training wouldn't be an issue, but evolution was another matter.
Li Qian decided to handle it himself without relying on the convenience of the breeding base.
"Master Li..." Just as Li Qian was about to praise Xiao Hui, Shi Yulian's voice suddenly rang out.
Li Qian quickly waved his hand and said, "I dare not call myself a master in front of a senior. You can just call me Xiao Li."
Shi Yulian smiled and didn't dwell on the matter of titles, choosing to go with the flow.
"Xiao Li, from your age, I assume you're still a student?"
Li Qian nodded, "Yes, senior, I just graduated from high school this year."
Hearing this, Shi Yulian was momentarily shocked, but then her interest was piqued, "So you must have applied to a Beast Taming University. Which one did you apply to? It must be one of the Big Eight, right?"
Li Qian didn't hide the truth and answered directly, "Sha Zhou Beastmaster University."
"Oh?" Shi Yulian was slightly surprised by this, "Are you from the Western Province?"
Li Qian shook his head, understanding why Shi Yulian asked this question. It was rare for someone from outside the Western Province to apply to Sha Zhou Beastmaster University.
With a smile, he explained, "I'm from Jiangnan Province."
After speaking, seeing Shi Yulian's curious gaze, he continued, "I'm from Jiangnan Province, and the reason I chose to attend Sha Zhou Beastmaster University is..."
Li Qian then briefly explained his reasons for choosing Sha Zhou Beastmaster University.
It was simply that Sha Zhou Beastmaster University had shown great sincerity, and he was very grateful for that.
As for the conditions offered by Sha Zhou Beast Taming University, Li Qian didn't go into detail.
This wasn't something to be discussed openly.
"Student Li Qian, have you considered transferring to Zhonghai Beastmaster University?"
After listening to Li Qian's explanation, Shi Yulian smiled and directly stated her intention, "Rest assured, whatever conditions Sha Zhou Beast Taming University can offer, Zhonghai Beastmaster University can match, and we will definitely provide better ones."
Li Qian didn't doubt Shi Yulian's words at all.
Although Sha Zhou Beast Taming University had offered him excellent treatment, it was impossible for Zhonghai Beastmaster University to not be able to match it.
Zhonghai Beastmaster University and Capital Beastmaster University were the top two Beast Taming Universities in the entire Dongxia Federation.
Even among the Eight Greats, they held an unparalleled status.
However, this matter wasn't just about the conditions being better or worse; there was also a matter of personal relationships.
Iron Lao and the others had done Li Qian a huge favor by protecting him, especially Iron Lao. Without his protection, Li Qian might not have survived.
Therefore, no matter what conditions Zhonghai Beastmaster University offered, Li Qian wouldn't agree.
Going back on his word wasn't his style.
After some thought, he politely declined, "I'm sorry, I've already promised Sha Zhou Beast Taming University, and we've signed an enrollment agreement, so I'm afraid..."
Hearing this, Shi Yulian sighed helplessly and couldn't help but complain, "For someone like you, a breeding genius, our school actually missed the opportunity. It's indeed a pity."
Shi Yulian sighed and continued chatting with Li Qian.
Most of the time, Shi Yulian was talking, and Li Qian was listening attentively.
...
After chatting for a while, it was almost noon, so the three of them had lunch in the breeding facility.
It had to be said that with the boss's wealth, the food in the breeding facility was no worse than that in a regular hotel.
According to Shi Guifang's words, to win over an employee, you must first win over their stomach. Li Qian couldn't help but chuckle at this statement.
What kind of messy theory was this? But it had to be said that it was indeed a good thing for Li Qian.
After a simple lunch, Shi Yulian bid farewell to Li Qian and left.
Li Qian didn't waste any time either. That afternoon, after Xiao Hui had almost familiarized himself with his new body, they immediately started training.
After an afternoon of training, Xiao Hui still hadn't learned the teleportation skill, but Li Qian didn't lose heart.
Li Qian was well aware that even with his spatial talent, learning teleportation in a short time wasn't easy.
So, he was patient and prepared to train for a week.
