Jiang Xing showed off his research institute for a bit, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.
After that, he sent a ssage each to Dr. Xu, Senior Su, and Senior Li, inviting them to visit his new research institute as guests.
After receiving Jiang Xing's invitation, his teacher and seniors all set aside their current work and ca to congratulate him.
Among them, Senior Li even brought along his daughter, Li Lingyin, who had just graduated from elentary school—
Mm, Jiang Xing had reason to suspect that Senior Li had brought his daughter along as a shield.
When Dr. Xu saw him, he had originally intended to scold this disappointing forr student—telling him not to be so idle all day, only thinking about making money, and to properly learn from his juniors…
But in front of Senior Li's daughter, he swallowed those scolding words and instead turned into a kind old man, summoning a Pet Beast to entertain the little girl.
However, Li Lingyin was clearly more interested in the Rainbow Dragon Hatchling. Her gaze remained glued to it, while Dr. Xu was instead left to the side, completely ignored.
A dignified Beast Tar PhD—this was probably the first ti he had suffered such grievance.
anwhile, as Dr. Xu enjoyed a mont of familial warmth, Jiang Xing brought Li Shun to the lakeside.
"Senior, how many Golden-Patterned Koi with the Brave personality are left in your breeding farm?"
Such a large artificial lake was obviously not ant for re scenery.
Jiang Xing planned to expand the Golden-Patterned Koi population to over five hundred, which was why he needed such a site, along with breeding resources worth tens of millions.
Moreover, in order to verify his hypothesis about personality, at least half of the fish group had to be Golden-Patterned Koi with the Brave personality—aning a minimum of two hundred fifty.
However, Golden-Patterned Koi with the Brave personality were considered "defective products," and their numbers were very small.
Jiang Xing intended to entrust Li Shun to collect more.
Unexpectedly, Li Shun replied: "About one thousand."
"One thousand? That many!?"
"Ever since you took the fish king, I've been collecting Golden-Patterned Koi with the Brave personality everywhere… Unfortunately, that personality is relatively rare. Even in the wild, its proportion isn't high. In more than a month, I only managed to gather this much," Li Shun said. "If you need them, I'll arrange for them to be delivered here imdiately."
Dr. Xu had said that Senior lacked decisiveness… wasn't this quite decisive?
More than a month ago, he had only made a small request, yet Senior had gone all in!
Well, compared to Senior's wealth, this batch of Golden-Patterned Koi didn't really count as going all in.
Jiang Xing inwardly marveled and said: "For the Brave personality ones, just send three hundred. Also send another three hundred Gentle Golden-Patterned Koi."
Jiang Xing had said he wouldn't be polite, and he truly wasn't.
Six hundred Golden-Patterned Koi, at a market price of 3,000 each, were worth nearly two million!
Among them, the Brave personality ones seed worthless, but if Jiang Xing successfully verified his hypothesis and published it, then given their rarity, their value skyrocketing to one million each would not be impossible!
Compared to the black market, where a Pet Beast cub with Overlord Tier potential could reach a value of up to one billion…
Even though Golden-Patterned Koi weren't particularly rare, among them, the ones with the highest aptitude—those that might gradually evolve toward Overlord Tier potential—could easily be worth tens of millions each.
Calculated this way, the value of this batch of Golden-Patterned Koi beca imasurable.
Li Shun didn't even blink and directly made a phone call.
A mont later, after hanging up, he smiled and said: "They're already on the way. If you need anything else, just say it. As long as I can do it, I guarantee I won't disappoint you!"
Jiang Xing shook his head.
"No need. If there are too many, I won't be able to raise them anyway."
After finishing the main discussion, Li Shun spoke again: "By the way, Junior, after you complete your project, could you sell one of the Rainbow Dragon Hatchlings you evolve?"
He looked toward his daughter in the distance, a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Lingyin just graduated from elentary school this year and is about to enter middle school."
"She wants to apply to a Beast Tar academy and beco a Beast Tar. She'll need an initial Pet Beast."
"I originally prepared a different Pet Beast for her, but she prefers your Rainbow Dragon Hatchling."
"I'd like to reserve one for her."
Senior was actually willing to let his daughter beco a Beast Tar?
At just twelve years old, she would have to fight alongside Pet Beasts—possibly suffering serious injuries, even facing life-threatening danger…
Wasn't he worried?
Jiang Xing was initially surprised, but when he noticed Li Shun's expression, he suddenly understood.
Precisely because Senior was worried, he wanted to prepare a powerful Pet Beast for his daughter as her initial Pet Beast.
This was a form of care unique to this world.
"No need," Jiang Xing shook his head. "For an initial Pet Beast, it's better to raise one personally."
"Junior, you an…?"
"I've just established my research institute. Taking care of six to seven hundred Golden-Patterned Koi alone is a bit overwhelming," Jiang Xing said. "Would Senior be willing to let Lingyin work here as an assistant for a period of ti and help feed the fish?"
"She can also personally select and raise a Golden-Patterned Koi, helping it leap the gate and transform into a dragon."
"Then I'll trouble you, Junior!" Li Shun was overjoyed. This outco was far better than he had imagined!
Jiang Xing said: "Let make this clear in advance—I'm not a teacher. Being my assistant won't be easy."
"No problem. Just give the orders as you wish! If she can't endure even this bit of hardship, then there's no need for her to beco a Beast Tar."
With just a few sentences, Li Shun settled his daughter's sumr arrangents.
Jiang Xing also smiled.
With an assistant, so repetitive and simple tasks could be handed over to her.
He could save so ti to raise the Rainbow Dragon Hatchling or research cube formulas.
'Although she's a bit young, since she's Senior's daughter and has passed the Beast Tar knowledge assessnt… she should be able to help.'
As Jiang Xing pondered, his mind suddenly stirred.
Research institute, researcher, Novice Beast Tar, initial beast…
When these elents were put together, why did it feel sowhat familiar?
In the next second, the system popped up.
[Congratulations, you have successfully subdued a novice trainer: Little Red!]
[A researcher who does not raise trainers is not a good Pokémon Professor. As a novice researcher aspiring to beco a Professor, please train a Champion trainer of your own!]
[You have received a long-term side quest: Train a Trainer.]
[Reward: Each ti the trainer you train successfully challenges a gym and obtains a regional badge, or achieves a ranking in a regional tournant, you will receive one lottery draw, which can grant rewards such as Technical Machines… Upon becoming a Champion trainer, you will receive a Legendary-level reward!]
"…"
Jiang Xing finally understood where that sense of familiarity ca from.
Giving out an initial Pet Beast, training a novice Beast Tar.
So I'm Professor Oak now?
By the way, why is the system getting abstract again?
A professor's job being to train trainers—that's understandable.
But why does it say I subdued Little Red?
Could it be that Senior Li's daughter is actually Red (a regional variant from a parallel world)?
