Chapter 220: Value
"Uh..." Li Qian was taken aback by Li Suokuan's words, clearly not expecting him to be so playful.
Indeed, Li Suokuan was joking, as he soon burst into laughter.
He chuckled and teased, "Haha, I was just kidding with you, young man. Don't be so serious, and also, you shouldn't let me keep calling you 'young man' all the time."
Li Qian smiled at his words.
He knew that a self-introduction was in order, so he said, "Senior Li, my name is Li Qian, and I'm from Jiangnan Province."
"You're from Jiangnan Province, but you didn't choose Jiangnan Beast Taming University or Zhonghai Beast Taming University. Instead, you chose Sha Zhou Beast Taming University. Could it be that you also fell for Old Park's beauty trap?"
"Cough, cough..." Li Qian coughed lightly at his words, his face showing an embarrassed expression.
Li Suokuan's words reminded him of Xue Huaiyu, the mature and beautiful admissions teacher from Sha Zhou Beastmaster University.
Was this a beauty trap? Perhaps it was!
However, Li Qian's choice was not influenced by this factor.
The reason he chose Sha Zhou Beastmaster University was because they offered the most sincere and generous conditions.
"Senior Li, you're just joking," Li Qian explained briefly. "The reason I chose Sha Zhou Beastmaster University is because... they offered the most favorable conditions."
"In a situation where I'm not familiar with anything, it's natural for me to think that whoever offers the most is the most sincere."
Li Suokuan was surprised by Li Qian's words and hesitated for a moment. Then, he burst into a hearty laugh, "Li, you're being honest, and it suits my taste."
"Talking about history or honor is meaningless when faced with tangible benefits."
"I appreciate your practical attitude, and now, I want to discuss a collaboration with you based on this practical attitude."
Li Qian had his suspicions, but he didn't voice them directly. Instead, he feigned ignorance and asked, "What kind of collaboration?"
"For our Teleportation Center, Spatial Attribute Companion Beasts are extremely rare and the most compatible."
Li Suokuan didn't beat around the bush. Instead, he got straight to the point and stated his intentions, "So, I hope you can breed a batch of Fierce Skygliding Eagles for our Teleportation Center."
The collaboration proposal from the mustached man was not unexpected to Li Qian.
Li Qian was aware of his own strength, but no matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to be unaffected by a Companion Beast with Imperial-rank potential in both Spatial and Wind Attributes.
The collaboration proposal was within Li Qian's expectations, but it also made him start pondering.
After a moment, he spoke, "We can collaborate, but there are some things that must be clarified beforehand."
Before Li Suokuan could respond, Li Qian continued, "Since you know that I'm a recent high school graduate in Zhonghai City, you should also understand that I can't stay here for long."
"Based on my estimation and time calculation, I can only breed one more batch of Fierce Skygliding Eagles."
Li Qian calmly stated the truth, "The evolution method of the Fierce Skygliding Eagle is quite unique. Its success depends on whether it possesses the Spatial Talent. If it lacks this talent, no matter how much effort is put in, it's like pouring water into a basket."
"So, even if there's still time for one more breeding attempt, I can't guarantee whether I can evolve a Fierce Skygliding Eagle or how many I can evolve."
"Since we're talking about cooperation, I'd like to lay out the situation clearly. Even if it's not possible to evolve Xiao Hui into an Apex Skyglide, some expenses are unavoidable."
What Li Qian was referring to was, of course, the evolution process of Gray Bean Pigeon into an Apex Storm Falcon, a process that couldn't be omitted.
"Besides, there's another indispensable requirement for evolving an Apex Skyglide..."
Before Li Qian could finish his sentence, Li Suokuan guessed what he was about to say and interrupted, "Rest assured, I'll prepare a suitable Teleportation Array for you, and I guarantee there won't be any interruptions from outsiders."
Having witnessed a glimpse of Xiao Hui's evolution process, Li Suokuan was well aware of the essential condition Li Qian was referring to.
In fact, this was a significant reason why Li Qian was inclined to cooperate with Li Suokuan.
With Li Suokuan's support, the issue of the Teleportation Array could be easily resolved.
Otherwise, constantly relying on public Teleportation Arrays for transportation, even if they weren't caught this time, would eventually lead to problems.
Just as the two were talking, two chirps of bird calls sounded, and Xiao Hui, who had been frolicking, descended from the sky and landed not far from Li Qian.
Actually, Xiao Hui had noticed the sudden appearance of Li Suokuan earlier and was initially cautious. However, seeing Li Qian and Li Suokuan in a pleasant conversation, Xiao Hui didn't take immediate action.
Of course, there was another reason why Xiao Hui didn't act; the human Beastmaster before him gave off a dangerous vibe.
"Excellent, excellent, truly an exceptional Companion Beast."
Li Suokuan also exclaimed in admiration as he looked at Xiao Hui, the Fiery Skygliding Eagle.
Finally, he turned his gaze back to Li Qian, "Of course, you, my boy, are even more impressive. I have high hopes for your future."
"Rest assured, for the Fiery Skygliding Eagles we breed, our Transmission Center will definitely offer a price that satisfies you."
Li Qian had no doubts about this.
For just one teleport, and a relatively short distance from Zhonghai City to Qianshan City, the fee was already over three million. This alone indicated that the Transmission Center was as good as a money-printing machine.
They certainly wouldn't lack funds, but Li Qian had other considerations, "I believe Elder Li will offer me a price I'm satisfied with."
"However, more than this, I'm more concerned about the future. I want the Fiery Skygliding Eagles that come from my hands to receive excellent breeding."
Li Qian's words implied a clear message.
He agreed to Li Suokuan's cooperation request.
There was no reason to refuse, especially given the current situation where he was at a disadvantage and had to yield. Even without that, forming a connection with the Transmission Center was a valuable opportunity.
"Hahaha..." Li Suokuan laughed heartily upon hearing this, "You can be completely assured on that front. While our Transmission Center isn't short on funds, we're not extravagant enough to waste an Imperial-rank Companion Beast's talent."
"Rest assured, once the news is out, I believe the young men and women at the Transmission Center will be vying to get their hands on it."
Li Qian nodded, a satisfied expression on his face.
For a breeder, in addition to expecting their bred Companion Beasts to bring them wealth and fame, they also hope for them to be well-treated and seriously trained.
Li Qian, of course, shared this sentiment.
