Chapter 256: Iron Old's Phone Call
The so-called "Beast Laboratory" was, in reality, just a dedicated facility for the evolution of Koi into Green Scaled Dragons.
The name "Beast Laboratory" was chosen to mislead others.
This was the same reason they had purchased the abandoned amusement park.
The water slide was originally a part of the amusement park, and it was fine when it was abandoned, as no one would discover it. However, if it had an owner, it would inevitably expose the true situation.
Even though Li Qian and the Pride Sun Cultivation Base didn't care, they didn't want an unexpected guest from the neighboring house to come and spy on them when the evolution began.
Instead of worrying about such a situation, it was better to purchase the entire place.
After all, the cultivation base had no shortage of money for this.
Besides being proactive, there were other reasons for purchasing this cultivation base.
For instance, training in a real hundred-meter waterfall would undoubtedly yield better results than the ten-meter-tall small waterfall in the cultivation base.
At this very moment, around twenty Koi were training with great enthusiasm inside the laboratory.
Among them were ten that had already met the evolution conditions.
The remaining dozen or so also had evolutionary qualifications, but their training progress had not yet reached the standard.
Li Qian walked up to the water slide, where a not-too-big, not-too-small pond had been excavated. Using his Beast Mastery True Sight Eye, he scanned all the Koi in the area.
He found that even the Koi that had not yet met the evolution conditions had relatively high skill proficiency in "Fish Leap" and "Scale Waterfall."
Seeing Li Qian's interest, An Houning, who had been standing by his side, explained, "All the Koi transferred here for training have been carefully selected, not only for their evolutionary qualifications but also for their established foundations."
Li Qian nodded in agreement with An Houning's approach.
Each Koi had different qualifications, and even those with the same evolutionary conditions couldn't be treated the same.
Training them in batches based on their different foundations was indeed a good method.
After glancing at them once more, Li Qian smiled and gave his approval, "Not bad, this training method is excellent; keep it up."
"Furthermore, to prevent the evolution light from attracting too much attention, we've also raised the height of the walls near the water slide."
An Houning continued, and Li Qian had noticed this as soon as he entered.
He thought for a moment and then made a decision, "Let's start the evolution of these ten Koi that have met the evolution conditions at dawn tomorrow."
There would be the fewest people around at dawn, and since this place was in the suburbs with high walls as a barrier, it was theoretically impossible to attract any attention.
Even if, by some rare chance, a few people happened to see it, it wouldn't matter, as this place was equipped with numerous security measures, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter.
"At dawn tomorrow? I'll inform the person in charge here to make the necessary preparations right away," An Houning replied promptly and began making arrangements.
Li Qian walked around the laboratory, examining each Koi with his True Sight Eye.
Indeed, these carefully selected Koi had excellent qualifications.
It was evident that both his parents and An Houning had put in a lot of effort during this period.
After taking a tour, Li Qian drove back to the cultivation base alone, while An Houning stayed behind to prepare for the evolution.
As soon as he returned to the cultivation base, a phone call came in.
At this time, receiving such a call didn't surprise Li Qian at all.
He picked up the phone with a smile and pressed the answer button.
"Iron Old, calling me at this time, you're not urging me to report to school, are you?" Li Qian said playfully after answering the call.
"Yes, I wanted to ask when you'll be coming," Iron Old's voice replied cheerfully from the other end.
Li Qian continued to joke with Iron Old, "What, you're worried I'll back out even after signing the enrollment agreement?"
He had only said it in jest, but unexpectedly, Iron Old took the bait, "I am a little worried."
The old man couldn't help but laugh wryly, "It's just one summer vacation, and you're making such a big deal out of such a short time."
"What's wrong?" Li Qian asked, puzzled.
He was indeed confused.
He had indeed caused a stir in Zhonghai City, but Shazhou City was quite a distance from Zhonghai City. How did even Iron Old know about it?
"Initially, I didn't know," Iron Old explained, "But the commotion you caused in Zhonghai City was so significant that people kept inquiring about you at our school, which caught our attention."
Li Qian smiled awkwardly, finally understanding the situation. Now that they had noticed, with the power of Shazhou Beast University, finding out about his affairs wouldn't be difficult.
"It's just good luck, a burst of inspiration," Li Qian explained with a sheepish smile.
"You've come up with evolution methods for a Sovereign Rank and two Imperial Rank potential beasts all at once; your luck is a bit too good," Iron Old said, his tone a bit odd as he listened to Li Qian's evasive words.
Having said this much, Li Qian rubbed his nose and continued, "By the way, Iron Old, I've mastered the evolution method from Golden Pearl Bud to Tide Sea Spirit, and I can help your Golden Pearl Bud evolve into a Tide Sea Spirit."
"I already know..." Iron Old listened to Li Qian's words and fell silent for about ten seconds before speaking again, his voice filled with emotion, "I'm not the type to get sentimental, nor am I good at saying sentimental things, but this time, I must thank you."
"No need to thank me," Li Qian chuckled, "At most, when I arrive at Shazhou Beast University, you can give me some extra care."
After all, Iron Old was the "Gatekeeper" of the dimensional rift, and with his status, he would undoubtedly have influence within Shazhou Beast University.
If all else failed, he could open some convenient doors when descending into the dimensional rift.
The two continued their conversation for a while longer, and after confirming the time for Li Qian to report to Shazhou Beast University and giving Iron Old some reassurance, Li Qian hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Iron Old couldn't help but fall into reminiscence, and after a moment, he suddenly spoke, murmuring to himself, "I never expected that a trip to Lingshui City would bring such a great opportunity..."
