Chapter 45: A Hint of Progress
Chapter 45: A Hint of Progress
As Li Qian examined the progress bar on the mission panel, he was pleasantly surprised to see that a single battle had earned him two points.
Furthermore, the salamander-type beast...
This gave him a relatively clear direction.
Combined with the previously confirmed evolution condition—the Blood Orchid Potion.
With these factors in mind, the second evolution form of the koi fish was becoming clearer.
It was almost certainly a Western salamander-type beast.
Additionally, there was one more crucial point.
The koi fish's second evolution required the use of an array formation.
In the natural world, there were hardly any naturally occurring array formations, and even if they did exist, they were extremely rare.
Such stringent requirements were no less challenging than those of the green-scaled dragon, perhaps even more so.
Based on this, one could deduce that this Western salamander-type beast was undoubtedly rare, and its corresponding devolved form had yet to be discovered.
Otherwise, this beast would have been studied and researched alongside the green-scaled dragon.
With these elements in mind, Li Qian was confident that he could find this beast before his graduation.
In reality, it was akin to following a map, and there wasn't much difficulty involved.
After figuring this out, he took a deep breath, feeling much more at ease. Without wasting any time, he returned home directly, leaving the chaotic and messy battle scene behind.
He didn't need to worry about the aftermath; the Public Security Bureau would take care of it.
Moreover, the dam at the reservoir hadn't suffered significant damage, only minor injuries at most. A quick repair should suffice, so Li Qian wasn't too concerned about any potential impact on Lingwater City.
After returning home and having lunch, Li Qian set out again.
He didn't waste any time, riding his bicycle straight to the Sunray Breeding Facility.
After a short while, as he entered the facility again, Li Qian's feelings were completely different.
Previously, it was admiration.
This was someone else's breeding facility!
Now, it was awe.
This was his own breeding facility!
Soon after entering the facility, Li Qian noticed that a fake hill was already being constructed in the central pond of the breeding base.
The An family's actions were indeed swift.
And this speed suited his taste.
After greeting a familiar staff member in the facility, Li Qian headed straight for Building Number One.
At that moment, Gao Yahxin was inside Building Number One.
Not long after, he arrived at the entrance of Building Number One.
Unlike the small white building where he had previously sought Gao Yahxin's guidance, this Building Number One was evidently more grand and imposing.
The five-story building had an estimated floor area of one thousand square meters, and it resembled a teaching building more than a research institute.
As soon as Li Qian entered Building Number One, his phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a text message from Gao Yahxin.
Following the instructions in the text message, he went straight to the rooftop on the fifth floor.
Unsurprisingly, he saw a graceful figure standing there.
It was Gao Yahxin!
"Senior Gao," Li Qian greeted Gao Yahxin, who was leaning against the railing and gazing into the distance.
Gao Yahxin didn't reply but patted the railing, inviting Li Qian to join her. They stood side by side, overlooking the entire breeding facility.
Without turning her head, Gao Yahxin spoke in a calm voice, as if she were talking to Li Qian and also to herself, "The previous owner of this breeding facility was a well-known senior breeder and a respected senior of mine."
"During its heyday, the facility was said to be more than twice its current size, housing nearly a thousand beasts. Breeders and beast masters seeking to purchase or breed beasts would flock here..."
Gao Yahxin recounted some of the Sunray Breeding Facility's past.
Li Qian was already familiar with these stories.
His mother, Han Yuying, had also told him about them.
At that time, Li Qian had merely listened to them as tales, and it seemed he was still doing the same now...
After all, the history of this breeding facility had nothing to do with him, but the future was destined to unfold in his hands...
"Unfortunately, after the old master passed away, his descendants had no interest or talent in this field. As time went by, the breeding facility gradually declined and eventually fell into ruin."
"I'm temporarily residing here to conduct research, and I do have the intention to revive it, but I can't stay here forever.
"Just two days ago, the descendants of the old man had already negotiated with a local businessman and officially sold this breeding base."
"The people building the artificial hill over there are the new owners. It's ironic that they've started renovating even before we've left."
"It's better this way. Instead of lingering in this half-dead state, it's better to let go and perhaps this breeding base can still be reborn."
"..."
Gao Yahxin gave Li Qian the impression of being a decisive and capable person, but today, she rambled on and on, causing Li Qian's mouth to twitch slightly.
Seeing Li Qian's reaction, Gao Yahxin continued, "Sorry, I've been rambling on for so long."
"I'm about to leave Lingwater City and this breeding base. I can't help but feel a bit sentimental, and before I knew it, I've said so much, making you laugh."
Li Qian coughed lightly and waved his hand, "It's fine. In the future, if Gao Jie has time, she can definitely come back to Lingwater City and revisit this breeding base."
"Even if I revisit, it will probably be a different place with different people." Gao Yahxin shook her head, feeling a bit melancholic, "Moreover, since it's been sold, it's someone else's base. If I revisit, it will only add to the awkwardness."
"That, Gao Jie, I..."
Li Qian didn't think much and was about to reveal the truth, but Gao Yahxin interrupted him, "Don't call me 'Gao Jie' or 'Gao Jie', it sounds too formal."
Seeing this, Li Qian went with the flow, "Yahxin Jie..."
"Yahxin Jie, the local businessman who bought this breeding base should be An Hou Nian from the An family."
Li Qian pressed his forehead and forced a smile, "They bought this breeding base to give it to me!"
After saying this, he cautiously looked at Gao Yahxin.
And indeed, he saw a look of surprise on her beautiful face.
At this moment, Li Qian could clearly feel the atmosphere becoming slightly awkward.
"Pfft~!"
In the end, Gao Yahxin couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.
"Junior Brother, you've really surprised me."
She couldn't help but laugh, "If I had known it was you who bought this breeding base, I wouldn't have been sad about leaving. Coming back to visit shouldn't be a problem."
"You're always welcome." Li Qian nodded without hesitation.
After calming her laughter, Gao Yahxin shook her head.
They had made such a big mistake.
She laughed at herself and then continued, "Also, since you've taken over this breeding base, I won't take my breeding materials with me. I'll leave them all for you, hoping they'll be of some help."
"Thank you, Yahxin Jie." Li Qian quickly expressed his gratitude.
The last time, Gao Yahxin's materials had helped him greatly.
This time, the materials should also be of some use.
Li Qian was quite expectant about this.
"You're calling me 'Jie', so there's no need to thank me." Gao Yahxin sighed, looking at Li Qian, whose face still held a youthful hue.
"With your achievements, as long as the admissions office of Jiangnan Beast Mastery University isn't crazy, entering it is a sure thing."
Gao Yahxin thought for a moment and then made a suggestion, "After arriving in Nan City, remember to contact me. I have a few graduates from Jiangnan Beast Mastery University, and if you like, you can be a breeder in our breeding base."
"Being a breeder in your breeding base, the treatment won't be bad, oh." Gao Yahxin said, with a rare difficulty in her words.
"Besides, our breeding base has an advantage that other bases can't compare with. My few partners are all top-notch beauties!"
Hearing this, Li Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then joked, "Like Yahxin Jie's kind of beauty?"
"Uh..." This time, it was Gao Yahxin who was taken aback. After reacting, she chuckled, "They're way more beautiful than me!"
