Chapter 208: Training and Return
Chapter 208: Training and Return
Time flew by, and three days had passed in the blink of an eye. It had been almost half a month since Li Qian started working at the Sky Realm Breeding Base.
During the past ten days, Li Qian could tell that Shi Guifang respected him, but it was merely a formality.
There was an invisible barrier between them, keeping them apart and creating a certain distance.
However, after Li Qian offered the evolutionary method for the Gray Bean Pigeon to evolve into the Fiery Storm Falcon, this invisible barrier seemed to disappear instantly.
Li Qian could clearly feel that Shi Guifang's attitude towards him became more enthusiastic, no longer just superficial politeness.
Although Li Qian noticed this change, he didn't say much about it.
This was only natural.
Especially for someone like Shi Guifang, who was from a prominent family, the value of an individual often determined whether they were worth associating with.
Li Qian didn't particularly like this utilitarian approach to interpersonal relationships, but he didn't reject it either.
In such relationships, he would undoubtedly be the beneficiary.
For instance, his employment at the Sky Realm Breeding Base had already brought him quite a substantial reward.
Family members, especially those from influential families, tended to have a strong sense of principles in their actions.
At least, Shi Guifang seemed to adhere to this principle.
After making a promise, the Federation Credits and contribution points were transferred to Li Qian's account the very next day.
As for the two imperial-grade extraordinary resources, they were delivered to Li Qian on the third day.
Li Qian didn't hesitate and accepted them graciously.
Aside from this matter, which had briefly occupied Li Qian's attention, he devoted the rest of his time to two tasks.
One was the second evolution of the Gray Bean Pigeon, Xiao Hui, and the other was the re-establishment of Task One.
Yes, on the second day after Xiao Hui completed its first evolution, Li Qian created this task.
[Task One: Evolutionary method for Golden Pearl Bud to evolve into Tide Sea Spirit, current progress 98%!]
Upon seeing the task and its progress, a look of realization appeared on Li Qian's face.
Indeed, the result was as he had expected, even higher than his expectations.
Li Qian had already suspected this when he witnessed the evolution of the Golden Pearl Bud into the Tide Sea Spirit.
Although Sun Hongyi's evolutionary method had its flaws, it was evident from the process that it was far more refined than Professor Yan's unreliable research.
The reason for its failure was likely due to minor details, which caused the evolved form to be unsustainable, quickly reverting to its original state.
After submitting the evolutionary task for the Gray Bean Pigeon to evolve into the Fiery Storm Falcon, Li Qian received five achievement points, and with the one point he already had, he now possessed six achievement points.
Six achievement points weren't a lot, but for Li Qian, it was enough to complete Task One immediately.
However, he didn't make that choice right away.
Li Qian was well aware of how difficult it was to obtain achievement points, so he didn't plan to use them casually.
He could save them for crucial moments.
This task had already reached 98% progress, and only two more inspiration points were needed to complete it. Li Qian decided to give it a try.
After all, the Tide Sea Spirit was an imperial-grade potential companion beast, and even though it was only at the first stage of the imperial rank, it was far superior to ordinary companion beasts.
If he succeeded, he should also receive five achievement points. However, if he used achievement points to forcefully complete the task, he wouldn't earn any points and would lose two instead.
There were only seven points in total, and Li Qian was no fool. He naturally knew how to calculate this account.
Of course, the most important thing was that they had not yet reached the point of desperation.
Sun Hongyi and Sun Ruirui had been researching the Golden Pearl Bud for so many years, and they must have accumulated some knowledge. If he could communicate with them or even directly review their accumulated data, he would surely gain some insights.
Perhaps he could even complete this task.
With this thought in mind, Li Qian was in no hurry to complete the task.
After all, it had already been delayed for so many years, and there was no need to rush it now.
...
After three days, Xiao Hui still hadn't learned the teleportation skill. Li Qian wasn't worried, but Xiao Hui, who had already evolved into a large companion beast, seemed anxious, perhaps due to realizing the importance of learning this skill.
"Xiao Hui, don't be anxious. Take your time. You've overcome more challenging evolutions; learning a teleportation skill is not a big deal." Li Qian spoke to comfort Xiao Hui.
"Chirp chirp..." Xiao Hui chirped twice, understanding Li Qian's words, and gradually calmed down.
Li Qian had shown him many videos of companion beasts using teleportation, and at this moment, Xiao Hui was recalling those scenes.
As he recalled and slowly tried, Li Qian stopped paying attention.
His attention might only add unnecessary pressure.
As for Xiao Hui slacking off without his supervision, Li Qian wasn't worried at all.
Xiao Hui's personality was similar to Qi Zai's; they were both companion beasts with very high standards for themselves.
Returning to the White Castle, after reviewing some materials and thinking for a while, Li Qian called Sun Ruirui.
The next day, early in the morning, Li Qian drove to the Red Bridge Estate.
As soon as he entered the estate, he saw a woman in a red dress, as beautiful as a fairy, and behind her was Liao Bo.
Liao Bo's face remained cold, just like the last time they met.
This man seemed to only smile when facing Sun Ruirui.
Li Qian noticed his cold expression but didn't care.
He was just a butler; why should he care about his attitude? If Sun Ruirui didn't say anything, he had no right to interfere.
The two chatted as they walked, heading towards the estate. After they had walked some distance, Liao Bo immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Ruirui, I actually came here with a question for you."
After chatting for a while, Li Qian explained the purpose of his visit, "Last time, I exchanged evolution materials with Professor Sun, and you know about this."
Sun Ruirui nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
There was nothing about this estate or her third uncle that Sun Ruirui didn't know.
"It's like this. After exchanging breeding materials with Professor Sun, I focused on researching for a while."
"I was quite lucky and made some progress, but I also had some doubts that kept bothering me. I believe that in the evolution research from Golden Pearl Bud to Tide Sea Spirit, your understanding is second only to Professor Sun's. So, I wanted to consult you about some issues."
"I hope to gain some inspiration and solve your problem as soon as possible." Li Qian spoke sincerely, expressing his true thoughts.
