Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 283 - 279: Sending the Wealth-bringing Child to the Door
Chapter 283: Chapter 279: Sending the Wealth-bringing Child to the Door
Upon seeing the mischievous smile on President Qin’s face, which wasn’t quite fitting for his age or status, Bai Qi had a sudden realization and said, “Of course, I won’t go easy. Um, how about offering mythical resources?”
At his statement, President Qin’s face stiffened as he replied, “You don’t think mythical resources are everywhere, do you?”
“Aren’t they?”
Bai Qi looked at President Qin with curiosity. After doing a quick mental calculation, besides the Crystal Dragon Bone he initially got through an exchange with the Thirteenth Bureau, Bai Qi had redeemed several mythical resources just from the Beast Master Association. Moreover, considering the significant reserves stored in the Holy Relic Tower, there seemed to be many more.
President Qin sighed, “Being essentially obtained from king-level or emperor-level creatures, mythical resources are not easy to come by. Only long-standing powerhouses like the Association, or national organizations like the Federation, might have mythical resources. Private powers like financial groups wouldn’t readily use them for trade.”
“Additionally, while the Spirit-Control Orbs have high profitability, they are only worth as much as their monetary value. Thus, it’s absolutely impossible to make these factions give up mythical resources.”
Upon hearing this, understanding dawned on Bai Qi, and his interest waned. He was no longer in need of small amounts of money now. The only things that piqued his interest were mythical resources. Based on what President Qin had implied, getting these resources would be highly unlikely. Hence, nothing was of interest anymore.
“Don’t be so disheartened.”
President Qjn waved his hand and said, “Think carefully. What is your current profession? This could be a great opportunity. Once you miss it, it might never come again.”
Upon hearing President Qin’s words, Bai Qi’s eyes lit up.
“I get it!”
“As long as you understand.”
President Qin smiled with satisfaction before shooing him out.
“If there’s nothing else, get out of here. Make sure your phone is on, as I may contact you for tasks at any time.”
Feeling elated, Bai Qi nodded before departing the association swiftly. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
“This kid…”
Watching Bai Qi retreating quickly outside the window, President Qin couldn t help but chuckle.
Although Bai Qi tended to behave maturely and handled matters with the acumen of a cunning fox, he was still a student after all.
With the Void Echo skill and the Wind God Winged Dragon’s Hurricane Talent, Bai Qi had made it home instantly. However, before he could land, he saw two groups of people waiting at his doorstep.
They’re here already?
Bai Qi was a little surprised, and he then commanded Delta to land.
“Bai Qi, you’re finally back. You kept Uncle Zhuge waiting.”
The moment Bai Qi appeared, Zhuge Xu approached him saying, I have to thank you for your Green Leaf Ball. It has helped resolve a dilemma for Zhuge Chen.”
“Uncle Zhuge, you’re too kind. It was my pleasure.”
Bai Qi smiled, glanced at the helpless Zhuge Chen, and asked, “Did Uncle Zhuge come to see me for something?”
Zhuge Xu nodded, “Yes, but today’s protagonists are not me, but them.” After saying this, Zhuge Xu moved aside, pointing at the two people behind him who then walked forward.
“Xia Xuan?”
Seeing one familiar face, Bai Qi was a bit taken aback. Recognizing the middle- aged man who looked somewhat like Xia Xuan, he understood what was happening.
President Qin had just mentioned this matter to him, and the representatives from Xia’s Group were already at his doorstep?
They arrived quickly.
Under the circumstances, Xia Xuan was evidently not excited about facing Bai Qi and avoided eye contact, instead choosing to remain silent. The middle-aged man next to him frowned at this and cautioned, “Xuan’er, don’t be rude.” After hearing the man speak, Xia Xuan reluctantly nodded at Bai Qi in greeting.
“Let me introduce him. This is the current helmsman of Xia’s Group, Chairman Xia Yi. You can call him Uncle Xia.”
Seeing Xia Xuan’s behavior, Zhuge Xu smiled faintly and then introduced the man’s identity to Bai Qi. However, Xia Yi waved his hand and said, “I dare not claim to be an elder. Bai Qi, if you don’t mind, you can call me by my name.”
“Chairman Xia is too humble.”
Bai Qi gave a faint smile, then opened the door wider and said, “Please come

in.”
The purpose of Xia Yi’s visit was obvious, and Bai Qi wasn’t about to leave him outside.
After everyone had entered, Bai Qi served them tea but refrained from making conversation, choosing instead to silently sip his tea.
Silence was golden, and Bai Qi knew he couldn’t outsell these cunning businessmen in high-stakes deals. Any extra words would be pointless.
With Zhuge Xu around, Bai Qi wouldn’t be at risk anyway. “Alright, we’re all familiar here. I’ll take the lead,” Zhuge Xu said, pleased that Bai Qi hadn’t taken the initiative to speak first. He cleared throat and asked, “Bai Qi, you’re aware of the impending distribution of the Spirit-Control Orbs, right?”
Bai Qi nodded, “I just came from President Qin. He told me about it.” Zhuge Xu nodded, “The first batch of Spirit-Control Orbs will be distributed to all talentless citizens within the Federation, ushering in an era of universal Beast Control. As the creator, your name is surely destined for history.” “However, I won’t trouble you with such trivial matters. Let’s get to the point. Zhuge Xu paused, “The first batch of Spirit-Control Orbs, and the corresponding free Beast Control, will be distributed by the Beast Master Association, unrelated to our businesses. But afterward, the production and sales of the orbs will gradually be handed over to an institution chosen by the ? Federation. Though, so far, they have not settled on any particular institution.
“If my guess is correct, you will soon be contacted by the Federation to garner your opinion.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly in response. While it seemed like a stretch, the Federation’s respect for the owners of core patents was widely acknowledged. Bai Qi himself had seen it in the agreement he’ d signed with Wang Jian.
Of course, Bai Qi suspected that the Beast Master Association and his teacher Bai Heguang had exerted influence on this matter.
“Did you want to get involved in the production of Spirit-Control Orbs, Uncle Zhuge?” Bai Qi asked.
Zhuge Xu quickly waved his hand, “Thanks to your help, the Wuhou Corporation already manages one-third of the Federation’s dedicated Beast Master breeding bases. We couldn’t handle the production qualifications of Spirit-Control Orbs even if we were given them.”
“My visit today is actually aimed at introducing you to the Xia’s Group.” Bai Qi nodded. Xia Yi and Zhuge Xu came together and seemed to be getting along well, which suggested that they had discussed this beforehand. Perhaps there was already an agreement in place; otherwise, Zhuge Xu wouldn’t so easily give up this opportunity to benefit.
As soon as Zhuge Xu finished speaking, Xia Yi took over, “Although Xia’s Group is not as financially strong as other established corporations, we have made some achievements in the Mechanical Engineering Department. The Spirit- Control Orb benefits the whole Federation and it would be a great regret if Xia’s Group were to miss out on this chance.”
“Of course, we will not take advantage of you, Bai Qi.”
Xia Yi brought out a folder, “If you allow Xia’s Group to take over production rights for the Spirit-Control Orbs throughout the Federation, in addition to the usual patent fees, Xia’s Group is willing to give an additional ten percent of the Spirit-Control Orb profits to you personally.”
He offered apologetically, “I know ten percent is small, but the Spirit-Control Orb production involves many aspects. Therefore, Xia’s Group will compensate you elsewhere.”
After finishing, Xia Yi turned to Bai Qi to hear his thoughts. However, Bai Qi did not reply as if he had not heard him.
Right, a ten percent profit share wouldn’t be very alluring to someone who held four core patents.
Naturally, a person who could concoct such groundbreaking inventions was not an ordinary student and could not be evaluated with ordinary standards.
“In that case, I have this other offer. I know that you’re also a mech martial master. Xia’s group does have some research in this field. If you don’t mind, we have a vacant mech martial research room in Gusu City which we could also offer you.”
“You can rest assured that Xia’s Group will take care of the maintenance matters.”
After hearing Xia Yi’s words, Bai Qi finally reacted and nodded repeatedly, “I don’t mind at all. Uncle Xia is too kind.”
Did they not just call him Director Xia? Now he’s Uncle Xia?
Seeing this change in Bai Qi, Xia Xuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. His first instinct was to ridicule him, but he remembered his father’s admonition before they left and decided to hold his tongue.
“Ha-ha, you’re too generous, Old Xia. Now I have to keep up.
Seeing Bai Qi agree to Xia Yi’s conditions, Zhuge Xu couldn’t help but burst into a hearty laugh, “The Spirit-Control Orbs produced by Xia’s Group will be sold by our Wuhou Beast Master breeding bases and Elf House. I don’t have a Mech Martial Research Room to offer, but I can further give you twenty percent of the profit.”
Bai Qi quickly waved his hand to refute the offer, but Zhuge Xu interrupted him, “I know you want to refuse, but business is business. I still owe you a thank you for the breeding base cooperation. Consider the additional ten percent as the base’s profit share.”
With that said, Bai Qi could only give in, “Well then, thank you Uncle Zhuge.” “There’s no need for thanks in business. I should be thanking you for remembering the Wuhou Corporation.
Zhuge Xu knew that if it weren’t for Bai Qi’s suggestion, the Wuhou Corporation would have had to invest a significant amount to get involved with the breeding base project. Instead, now they had the Federation directly seeking them for cooperation.
If he had not been worried about Bai Qi’s feelings, Zhuge Xu would have offered a larger share in the profits.
Zhuge Xu wasn’t the type to be greedy over small gains. He had ambitious aspirations.
“Since you’ve agreed, Bai Qi, I’ll be looking forward to the good news.” Xia Yi smiled slightly, and turned to Xia Xuan by his side, “Xia Xuan has had some dealings with you before, Bai Qi. He is rather talented, but in terms of interpersonal skills, he may lack slightly. If he does something inappropriate, I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
“Uncle Xia, you’re too serious. Xia Xuan has also given me quite a bit of help, Bai Qi shook his head. He wasn’t just paying lip service; if it hadn’t been for Xia Xuan, Schuck would have had no way of obtaining the Titanium Platinum Alloy or the Catastrophe Energy needed to maintain the Secret Realm Base.
Bai Qi would never turn away such a valuable money courier.
