Chapter 214: Something Big is About to Happen
Chapter 214: Something Big is About to Happen
As they continued their descent down the stairs, walking slowly and chatting, Li Qian's mind was made up. He would call his parents tonight and ask them to be cautious, advising them to avoid leaving Ling Shui City if possible.
Since this matter might affect the entire Ancestral Star, Ling Shui City would not be spared, and if a crisis were to occur there, the extent of the destruction would undoubtedly be even more terrifying. After all, Ling Shui City was just a small third-tier city, and its defenses couldn't compare to those of a special-grade city like Zhonghai.
"Thank you!" Li Qian sincerely expressed his gratitude after hearing Shi Guifang's explanation.
That day, by coincidence, he had encountered the Four Beasts' attack on the city, and at that moment, Li Qian had felt something was amiss, something he couldn't quite understand.
However, considering that there were others more capable of shouldering the burden, he didn't feel the need to worry about the country or its people, so he didn't dwell on it.
Now, after hearing Xiao Boss's words, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
It was precisely because of this that he was very grateful for Shi Guifang's reminder.
In addition to his gratitude, he silently made a decision in his heart.
Without saying a word, he didn't directly reveal his decision but instead turned to look at Shi Guifang, who then continued to speak, mentioning the second matter.
"I hope you can help us cultivate a few Green Scaled Serpents and Frostfire Salamanders at Sky Realm. As for the price, we can offer a 110% premium over the market price for their acquisition."
Hearing the second matter from Shi Guifang, Li Qian smiled and smirked, his expression filled with amusement.
For someone like Shi Guifang, a member of a wealthy family, Li Qian believed that investigating his identity would be effortless.
The reason he didn't know about it before was probably because he didn't expect much from his identity, so he didn't bother to investigate.
Li Qian guessed that after seeing his evolution into the Fiery Storm Falcon, she must have already looked into his identity and learned about his situation.
He didn't mind this, as with the exposure of his achievements and the increase in his fame, some things couldn't be hidden even if he tried.
At this moment, Li Qian suspected that Shi Guifang was taking the opportunity to reveal something, perhaps with a hint of voluntary confession.
He smiled and responded directly, "Sure, you can discuss this with the Heavenly Talent Breeding Base in Ling Shui City, Jiangnan Province."
Shi Guifang didn't mention investigating his identity; instead, she brought up this request directly, and Li Qian tacitly didn't bring it up either.
After all, he was working at her breeding base and enjoying various conveniences, so it was normal for her to conduct a background check.
"As for the third matter, it's related to Gale Bamboo..." When mentioning the third issue, Shi Guifang's face showed a rare expression of embarrassment.
Li Qian noticed this and wondered why she looked so awkward when it came to Gale Bamboo.
The confusion didn't last long, as the petite woman soon provided an explanation, or more precisely, a benefit, "If you need Gale Bamboo, you can let me know. Our breeding base has purchased a large quantity from the market, and now, the supply of Gale Bamboo has significantly decreased, and the price has also increased."
Hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help but twitch his lips, and in his heart, he exclaimed, "Wow!"
Buying up the market's extraordinary materials and resources, causing a supply shortage and price increase—that was quite a bold move.
No wonder she felt a bit embarrassed. After all, the Evolutionary Method was something she had taught him, and by doing this, she was indirectly implying that she was teaching her disciple to surpass her.
Li Qian chuckled and didn't take the matter to heart. He casually replied, "Sure."
In fact, for the next period of time, until he enrolled in Sha Zhou Beast Taming University, he probably wouldn't breed many Fiery Storm Falcons.
If he needed to evolve a Fiery Skygliding Eagle, he could directly purchase Gale Bamboo from Little Boss, and he believed she would give him a favorable price.
As they walked and chatted, they soon arrived at the first-floor cafeteria of the White Castle. The number of employees at the breeding base was increasing, and the cafeteria was becoming more and more bustling.
At this time, it was dinner time, and there were quite a few people around. Many of them noticed Li Qian and Shi Guifang walking side by side, and no one found it surprising. In fact, this scene was not uncommon within the breeding base.
Due to Shi Guifang's attitude towards Li Qian, many employees in the base also treated Li Qian with extra respect. Of course, along with this respect, their gazes couldn't help but appear a bit strange.
The way they looked at Li Qian was filled with respect and a hint of envy, as if they were looking at a young man who had latched onto a wealthy woman.
After dinner, Li Qian returned to his room. Although it was called a room, it was actually a bit inaccurate, as the living quarters Shi Guifang had prepared for him was a suite of around 150 square meters.
The living environment was no worse than his own breeding base, and perhaps even a bit better.
Upon returning to his suite, Li Qian immediately used his VR goggles to call his parents.
The call was quickly answered, and seeing that both his parents were there, he chatted with them for a while before getting to the point, "Mom and Dad, during this period of time, if there aren't any extremely important matters, I suggest you not leave Ling Shui City, or even the breeding base."
"You should especially avoid going to remote or rarely visited places."
Li Qian's words of caution immediately left Li Dad and Li Mom in confusion.
Seeing their questioning gazes, he explained, "The recent Companion Beast attack on the city happened in Zhonghai City, and you know that."
"Could it be related to the recent Companion Beast attack on the city?" Father Li Chengyang immediately made the connection upon hearing Li Qian's words.
Li Qian nodded, confirming his father's guess, "I have a friend who is a member of a prominent family in Zhonghai City. According to the information she received, there may be more Companion Beast attacks on cities, and the locations are uncertain."
After his explanation, Li Qian added another reminder, "In any case, you should be extra careful."
The three of them chatted for a while longer, and around 9 p.m., they hung up the call. After hanging up, Li Qian didn't continue reading books as he usually did; instead, he went to bed early and started pondering.
From the initial attack by the Ancient God Sect, to the assault by the Dark God Sect, and then the Machu Sect's attack, the flying ship incident, and the recent city attack, Li Qian always felt like something big was about to happen on the Ancestral Planet...
Unfortunately, he hadn't yet visited the Dimensional Plane, otherwise, he might have obtained more information.
