Beast Taming: the More the Better

The seats and stage were already set up. Some figures had already taken their seats below the stage. Aside from Li Senlin, other local media members were also adjusting their cameras and other equipment, pointing their lenses towards the stage above.

Li Senlin merely glanced and saw that, just as his assistant and the photographer had said, quite a number of prominent figures were already seated. These included heads of major banks and representatives from some well-known companies in Jianghai.

However, Li Senlin clicked his tongue. These people are indeed big shots, but that's only from our perspective, he mused. Actually, in the parking lot just now, sitting in the front passenger seat, I saw things more clearly than the others. I definitely saw some people go into that large building up there, and they haven't come out. Plus, the front seats are still empty. It's obvious the truly important figures haven't arrived yet.

Thinking of this, Li Senlin subconsciously raised his head and looked up at the company building behind the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Through the morning sunlight, Li Senlin saw a figure standing before a large floor-to-ceiling window on the sixth floor, overlooking everyone waiting below.

For some reason, under the morning sun, Li Senlin felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the somewhat blurred figure.

As if I've seen them somewhere before?

However, before Li Senlin could take a closer look, the figure turned back, denying him the chance to see more.

Li Senlin's eyebrows furrowed.

He then shook his head.

No, that's not right. I must be tired from the lack of rest lately, just seeing things, perhaps?

Although he knew some people in Linzhou, that hardly mattered. Let alone the individuals he actually knew, even the people currently seated outside were, from his perspective, inhabitants of a different world.

And those who appeared in that building above, unless they were service staff of some kind, it was unlikely he would know them.

With that in mind, Li Senlin stopped overthinking. He picked up the prompt card again and glanced at the questions. These were to be used in conjunction with the other party's publicity; his newspaper had already been briefed. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent him, the seasoned editor-in-chief, in person.

「...」

Su Ping yawned, feeling somewhat listless.

Clearly, he hadn't slept well the night before. Or rather, he hadn't slept at all.

After a night of meditation, his Spiritual Realm had improved slightly.

He was a little closer to becoming an Elite Fourth Tier.

Without corresponding resources or a Secret Realm for Su Ping to initiate Space Absorption, the speed of this improvement was indeed slow.

But Su Ping didn't mind; he took it as consolidating his foundation.

The rate at which his Level had increased was, in fact, ludicrous compared to other Beast Tamers his age.

From just awakening to advancing to Elite Third Tier in merely three to four months.

His classmates who could reach a regular Sixth or Seventh Tier were considered to have fairly impressive Talent.

Of course, Su Ping wasn't actually tired; his current state was purely due to sheer boredom.

To him, haggling was already a tedious affair.

And now, Su Ping realized something even more mind-numbing: watching others haggle.

He glanced at the two people beside him.

Su Ping simply couldn't fathom it. Dong Muyun was one thing; after all, he was a businessman, battle-hardened in negotiation. But for this damn Chief Lin, the Legion Commander with his thick brows and large eyes, to also be so surprisingly adept at bargaining, huh?

Chief Lin had arrived at six in the morning. Then, he accompanied Su Ping early to this new company factory park, in which Su Ping himself held a sixty percent stake. Subsequently, after greeting the arriving guests, instructing the reception staff, and following Lin Lei's preliminary test of the Heart of the Wolf's effects, Dong Muyun and Chief Lin began their negotiations.

At that moment, Su Ping even felt a bit nostalgic. Why haven't Sun Chaoju and those people from the Breeder Association arrived yet? Listening to these two haggle is truly less interesting than discussing Pet Beast cultivation with the folks from the Breeder Association. I might even be able to snag some benefits.

It was just unfortunate. In the past, when he wasn't thinking of these people, they would appear faster than anyone. Yet today, it was past eight, and these folks still hadn't shown up.

"Chief Lin, you know that the effects of this Magic Potion cannot be compared with those on the market! Sure, I know the auxiliary medicine 'Pet Spirit Potion' is priced at 40,000 a bottle and can work for most Pet Beasts.

But, for the same effects, the Pet Spirit Potion at most enhances the absorption of the Magic Potion by about seven percent, and its effect diminishes with multiple doses!

How can you calculate its value using simple multiplication? The average effect of the Heart of the Wolf is four times that of the Pet Spirit Potion. So, if the price were also merely four times higher, would using four bottles of Pet Spirit Potion achieve the same result as one Heart of the Wolf?

Chief Lin, you're no child. When a Magic Potion's effect is doubled, it's not unreasonable for its value to increase fivefold, let alone tenfold, wouldn't you agree?"
