Chapter 32: Liu Changfeng's Visit
Chapter 32: Liu Changfeng's Visit
Liu Changfeng looked at Li Qian and noticed his composure, secretly admiring him.
Indeed, he was an extraordinary genius who had discovered the evolution method of carp to Green Scaled Dragon during high school. His mental resilience alone was beyond that of an ordinary high school student.
"I'm here to inform you," Liu Changfeng said, his smile becoming more apparent, "The blockade at the resort has been lifted, and you're free to leave at any time."
Without pausing, he continued, "Additionally, I hope you can keep what happened last night confidential."
"The incident last night? Is it related to that Ancient God Sect?" Li Qian didn't give a direct answer but asked in return, "Can you tell us about this organization?"
"Although you're now at Beastmaster University, your teachers will surely introduce you to such information. Still, since you've asked, I can give you a brief overview."
Liu Changfeng paused for a moment before continuing, "This Ancient God Sect is actually a cult organization, targeting the order of human society..."
In the following five minutes or so, Liu Changfeng provided a simple introduction to the Ancient God Sect.
Similar to Zhou Weiping from the Lingshui City Law Enforcement Bureau, this Ancient God Sect and Black God Sect were both cult organizations.
They were wanted by various federations in human society and considered a group of restless pests.
Liu Changfeng shared a lot of information about the Ancient God Sect, but when it came to their activities in the Cloudmist Mountain Resort, he merely mentioned it as "disrupting human social order" without elaborating further.
Why would they come to a resort to disrupt order, and why choose a non-holiday night? Wouldn't it be more effective to target the city or go during the day?
Li Qian knew there must be a hidden secret, but he also understood that curiosity could be dangerous.
When one's strength is insufficient, it's better to remain unaware of certain things. The more you know, the more dangerous it becomes.
"Commander Liu, we understand, and we won't leak a word about last night's incident," Li Qian assured Liu Changfeng after hearing his introduction. He had learned a little about the Ancient God Sect organization and didn't hesitate to give a firm response.
Both Li Qian and An Paozi wanted to distance themselves from this matter, preferably by genuinely being unaware of anything.
An Paozi, seeing Li Qian's gesture, chimed in, "Commander Liu, rest assured, our mouths are sealed."
"Well, Commander Liu, do you have any other matters?" Li Qian asked directly, seeing that both of them had already promised not to disclose the night's events. However, Liu Changfeng still showed no intention of leaving.
"It's like this," Liu Changfeng said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've been promoted to Overlord Rank less than a year ago, and I haven't found a suitable companion beast. Last night, I saw your carp evolve into a Green Scaled Dragon. I wanted to ask if you had bred a carp to evolve into a Green Scaled Dragon?"
In the Beast Taming World, the protection of breeders' intellectual property rights is extremely strict.
Li Qian had researched and discovered the evolution method from carp to Green Scaled Dragon. If others hadn't also researched this method, no one could steal his findings.
As for how to turn research results into real benefits, there are many ways. First, one can help others breed companion beasts and charge breeding fees.
For example, charging one billion Federation Credits for evolving carp into Green Scaled Dragons would likely attract many customers.
Alternatively, one can sell the evolution method to large institutions or organizations like the Breeder Association or Beastmaster Association.
One can also choose to use the evolution method to earn breeding fees first and then sell the method to large institutions or organizations after a certain period.
Currently, most ordinary breeders in the industry make this choice.
The reason for this choice is not only to maximize benefits but also because, as the number of evolved beings bred increases, the breeding methods will eventually be deciphered, and their value will decrease.
As for cunning and forceful acquisition, it's basically impossible.
The Federal Government, Beastmaster Association, and Breeder Association all understand that only by safeguarding the breeders' interests can the breeding innovation of the entire Beast Taming society be stimulated.
It's similar to intellectual property rights protection in the previous world.
If the benefits in this aspect are not guaranteed, who would still painstakingly spend time and money on breeding?
It is possible to continuously conceal the evolution method of a certain companion beast, such as some large corporations, aristocratic families, tycoons, and guild organizations. They possess the evolution methods of specific companion beasts, which may not even be known to the Federal Government, Beastmaster Association, or Breeder Association. To evolve into these specific companion beasts, one must pay a sufficient price to enlist the help of these powers.
This is one of the important sources of income for these powers, but there are risks as well. If the evolution method is deciphered, they may face the risk of their efforts being in vain.
Having understood this information, when Liu Changfeng mentioned the "Green Scaled Dragon," Li Qian already knew his intentions.
He didn't give a direct response but spoke with a hint of accusation: "Last night, you saw my carp, and you witnessed its evolution into the Green Scaled Dragon. Can I assume that you were also present at that time, not far from where I was?"
Li Qian's words carried a hint of accusation, and he did indeed feel a bit resentful.
During his fight with the Ancient God Sect member, he was clearly at a disadvantage, and the Public Security Bureau's "Commander Liu" was hiding nearby. However, he didn't come to his aid immediately.
Don't forget that protecting the safety of people's property is one of the duties of the Public Security Bureau.
So Li Qian had some complaints, which Liu Changfeng could understand.
He nodded and spoke with a bitter tone: "Yes, I was there at the time."
"I could have come to your aid immediately, but I saw that you still had the strength to hold your ground. I thought you wouldn't be in immediate danger, so I hid first, hoping to use this opportunity to catch a bigger fish."
Liu Changfeng didn't hide anything and directly revealed his true thoughts at that moment: "I could have helped immediately, but I saw that you could still hold your ground. I thought you wouldn't be in immediate danger, so I hid first, hoping to use this opportunity to catch a bigger fish."
Li Qian's finger trembled slightly.
Unexpectedly, he had become the bait for fishing.
He was quite displeased, but upon seeing Liu Changfeng's open and honest expression, he was momentarily at a loss for words.
Moreover, Liu Changfeng had come to his aid, restraining the Ancient God Sect member, which was why the latter didn't pursue them. Regardless, Liu Changfeng had saved him.
Most importantly, Li Qian felt that helping the Public Security Bureau's officer was also indirectly contributing to society.
So, he agreed, "Okay!"
"However, the breeding cycle is quite long, and under normal circumstances, it requires a thousand Federation Credits," Li Qian continued, "Open, you also need to prepare a carp with higher potential yourself!"
"This..." Liu Changfeng had assumed that Li Qian would refuse without hesitation, considering the events of the previous night. He didn't expect Li Qian to agree so readily, leaving him momentarily speechless.
