Chapter 58: Frostfire Salamander
Chapter 58: Frostfire Salamander
Following Li Qian's instructions, Zhou Weiping directly sent him to the entrance of the Sunray Breeding Facility and ordered Thunder Dragon Three to return to the Security Bureau.
Inside the Thunder Dragon Three's vehicle, Zhou Weiping thought for a moment and then took out his phone, asking a colleague from the bureau to look up Liu Changfeng's number.
After obtaining Liu Changfeng's phone number, he didn't hesitate and dialed immediately.
The call was quickly connected, and Zhou Weiping smiled as he greeted, "Hello, this is Zhou Weiping from the Lingwater City Police Bureau."
"Hello, Officer Zhou," came the cheerful voice of Liu Changfeng from the other end of the line.
"We're all part of the same system," Zhou Weiping said with a half-joking tone, hearing Liu Changfeng's procedural response. "That green-scaled dragon, named 'Qi Zai', you've seen it too. Why didn't you remind me about it last time?"
"That green-scaled dragon, named 'Qi Zai', you've seen it too," Liu Changfeng said, feigning confusion. "Last time, I thought you already knew about it, seeing how calm you were."
"Well, I thought it was a wild one..." Zhou Weiping knew that Liu Changfeng was just joking, but he didn't know how to refute it. In the end, he sighed helplessly, "I blame myself for this too!"
His tone was quite sentimental as he continued, "I never expected that a high school student who hasn't even graduated yet could research the evolution method of the green-scaled dragon!"
"Experience really can kill a person!"
"It's not too late to know now," Liu Changfeng consoled. "Moreover, Li Qian is a local from Lingwater City. With this natural advantage, our Cloud Wave City Police Bureau can't compare."
"Your Cloud Wave City is a first-tier city. Even without the green-scaled dragon, there are other potential Overlord-rank companion beasts to choose from."
"Even without other options, the Flame Wolf and Wolf Vulture can still evolve further to reach the Overlord potential," Zhou Weiping said, half in flattery and half in sarcasm. "Unlike us, stuck in a small third-tier city like Lingwater, with limited resources, it's a thousand times harder to take the next step."
"Brother Zhou, we're all part of the same system..." Liu Changfeng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly after hearing this. "Although the Flame Wolf and Wolf Vulture can evolve further, what's required for evolution, you should know."
"Even if we can exchange with merit points, it'll take at least a decade or two before we can see any hope."
After a brief pause, he continued on the same topic, "Moreover, even if the Flame Wolf and Wolf Vulture complete their third evolution, their potential may still not be comparable to the green-scaled dragon."
Finally, he said with hope, "In the end, since Li Qian can research the evolution method from carp to green-scaled dragon, he might be able to research the evolution method beyond the green-scaled dragon."
Zhou Weiping still had some doubts after hearing this, "Is that really possible?"
In his heart, he still held onto the thought that Li Qian was just lucky, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.
"I have faith in Li Qian," said Liu Changfeng, who was more certain than Zhou Weiping.
"Forget it, that's too far in the future," Zhou Weiping shook his head, changing the subject. "I'd rather think about how to find a carp with potential."
Yes, before getting off the car, Li Qian had told Zhou Weiping about the potential carp, just like he had told Liu Changfeng.
"Hahaha..." Liu Changfeng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, remembering his own past experiences. "You have to be careful about this. Back then, I spent quite some time on this matter."
He was well aware that finding a carp with high potential was not an easy task.
...
That afternoon, a group of people arrived at the Sunray Breeding Facility.
This was within Li Qian's expectations. After publicly revealing the green-scaled dragon and with Zhou Weiping already aware, it would be too dull if the Lingwater City Breeder Association hadn't reacted yet.
"Hello, Li Qian, I'm Zhao Qingquan, the president of the Lingwater City Breeder Association," said a man in his fifties with a receding hairline, leading the group.
Behind him were four others, the youngest of whom was probably in his thirties.
"Please have a seat," Li Qian said, gesturing to the sofa in a reception room on the fifth floor of Building No. 1 at the breeding facility.
After everyone had taken their seats, the room remained silent. As the president, Zhao Qingquan, spoke up again, getting straight to the point, "We've heard that Li Qian has researched a method for the evolution of carp into Green Scaled Dragons. I wonder if he could demonstrate it for us."
"Follow me." Seeing their eagerness, Li Qian didn't keep them in suspense and directly led the four of them to the rooftop terrace. He then used soul bonding to notify Qi Zai and Ah Fu, who were in the central pond.
After a few breaths, two splashes erupted from the central pond, and Qi Zai and Ah Fu emerged from the water one after the other.
"Roar..." They each let out two dragon roars before immediately using the Dragon Ascension skill, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the terrace.
Li Qian extended his hand, and Qi Zai and Ah Fu affectionately rubbed their dragon heads against his palm.
"This... this..." The five members of the Lingwater City Breeder Association were speechless, even though they had mentally prepared themselves. They were still a bit stunned by the sight.
"A true prodigy, indeed a prodigy..." Someone muttered to themselves, unable to contain their praise.
Zhao Qingquan's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something exciting, "I never expected that at such a young age, Li Qian would possess such outstanding breeding talent!"
"President Zhao, you're too kind," Li Qian said, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise.
Although he knew that his current achievements were due to the help of his 'golden finger' and his own efforts, facing such direct admiration still made him feel a bit proud.
"To be honest, seeing someone of your age with such accomplishments, I truly feel ashamed," said Jiang Qilong, the vice president of the Lingwater City Breeder Association, who was standing next to Zhao Qingquan. He couldn't help but express his admiration.
After a sigh, he casually asked, "I wonder which Beast Master University Li Qian plans to apply to?"
"Actually, with your achievements, you could easily get direct admission to the Capital Beast Master University or the Zhonghai Beast Master University..."
"It's still early for that. I haven't thought that far ahead yet," Li Qian casually replied, although he already had a goal in mind. However, he didn't want to boast until he had passed the entrance exam.
"By the way, with your accomplishments, Li Qian, you could actually try applying for a Senior Breeder certification," Zhao Qingquan said, understanding Li Qian's intention and immediately changing the subject. "But since Lingwater City is only a third-tier city, we can only apply for an Intermediate Breeder certification."
"Being able to apply for an Intermediate Breeder certification is already sufficient. I'll have to trouble President Zhao for this matter," Li Qian said with a smile, expressing his gratitude. As for the Senior Breeder certification, although he cared about it, he wasn't in a rush to obtain it. As long as he reached the required level of ability, the certification would be an easy task.
"This is the least I can do," Zhao Qingquan said gently.
Next, Li Qian took the five members of the Lingwater City Breeder Association on a tour of the Sunray Breeding Facility.
Due to poor management, the Sunray Breeding Facility had already fallen into disrepair. When the five of them saw the state of the facility, they were initially surprised, but upon learning that Li Qian had just taken over the business, their thoughts of acquiring it were extinguished.
The five of them came and left quickly, staying for less than two hours in total, demonstrating high efficiency.
The next day, Sunday, Li Qian remained at the breeding facility. Around 3 p.m., the members of the Lingwater City Breeder Association arrived again.
They also brought Li Qian's Intermediate Breeder certification.
After explaining some rights and obligations, they hurriedly left.
Li Qian returned to his office, turned on his computer, logged into the Lingwater City Breeder Association's website, and entered the database to browse.
"I never expected the Lingwater City Breeder Association's online database to have so many books. It's quite surprising..." Li Qian couldn't help but exclaim as he browsed the information in the database.
As dinner time approached and Li Qian was about to stop browsing, a message suddenly appeared in his mind, causing his spirits to soar.
【Inspiration +5, current task progress 92%】
Listening to the message in his mind and looking at the picture in his hand, Li Qian couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It's actually the Frostfire Salamander!"
