Chapter 35: The Depressed Iron-eating Beast
“Dr. Bai, all this money earned is yours. Look, before I came, wasn’t the Pet Beast Center running at a loss, with no income at all, losing money every day? Look at how good business is after I arrived!
Moreover, I’ve been working hard to research and develop new products. You should be proud to have an excellent employee like me, instead of questioning me, understand?”
Song Tiantian spoke from the bottom of her heart.
If she hadn’t discovered that Dr. Bai had indeed added her name to the thesis, she wouldn’t have worked so hard.
Although there was a little bit of selfishness involved.
No matter what, she had occupied the original owner’s body and should repay the original owner’s family, improving their living conditions. Song Jiaojiao had wronged her, but Father Song and Mother Song were innocent.
“By the way, I think that ice cream is quite good. I’m already going through the procedures. The Pet Beast Center will have an additional ice cream machine. The price should be around one million per serving. You provided the main effort, and I’ve noted your merit. I’ve also added your name to the list of researchers.
As a reward, I’ll officially give you that Seven-star Sunflower. Take good care of it, and don’t sell it easily. This thing is very valuable.”
“Thank you, Doctor. Doctor, do you think I’m ungrateful?”
Song Tiantian beamed with joy. The Seven-star Sunflower was her most precious Spiritual Plant. With this item, her cultivation speed had increased significantly, and Big White also liked to stay near the Seven-star Sunflower. Staying near such a Spiritual Plant could also accelerate Big White’s Promotion. It’s just that for some reason, she hadn’t broken through to the Two-star Beast Tamer Realm yet, always feeling like something was missing.
She felt that she had accumulated enough Power and had reached the Strength of a Two-star Beast Tamer, and should be able to Breakthrough. But it felt like something was blocked.
Song Tiantian thought it was because her Cultivation Progress was too fast that this was happening.
She felt she might be too anxious and should relax a bit.
During lunch, Father Song called her.
“Tiantian, I’ve already gathered five hundred thousand. District Chief Leng has also contacted me. Because my age is a strict issue, the unit’s recruitment cannot exceed thirty-five years old. But as long as I can become a Beast Tamer, he can make an exception and admit me without an exam.
If I can’t become a Beast Tamer, he can only help me find a job as a Security Guard. When do you have time?”
“Come this afternoon! I’ve already found a suitable one for you. It’s just right, District Chief Leng’s daughter, Leng Qing, will also be coming. You can pick her up then. I’ll give you her number. Call her when you arrive, and she’ll come down.”
“So rushed! I haven’t washed my hair, showered, or shaved yet!”
“Just wash up and change into clean Clothes.”
Song Tiantian was speechless. Father Song, at his age, was still so particular.
However, the last time she went to District Chief Leng’s house with him, she felt he seemed much tidier, having clearly put in effort. It turns out that no matter how old a person is, they will meticulously groom themselves when meeting someone they consider important.
When Song Tiantian woke up from her nap that afternoon, Father Song and Leng Qing had both arrived.
Song Tiantian noticed that Father Song had actually put on the suit he bought for his wedding. Father Song was already very fat, and the clothes wouldn’t button up. This suit was tight, but he felt he looked very handsome.
Mother Song wore a beautiful dress. She held Father Song’s arm, and it was evident she was very nervous.
“Tiantian.”
Mother Song looked anxious. She was worried Song Tiantian would be angry upon seeing her and hesitated to speak.
Father Song had not told Mother Song the whole truth. He hadn’t mentioned that Song Tiantian was being heavily relied upon because she had become Dr. Bai’s test subject.
He only said that Song Tiantian’s Job was very good, that she was intelligent and favored by her Leader, and was very Powerful now, so they had to treat Song Tiantian well.
If this succeeded, he would have a stable Job from then on.
In Mother Song’s mind, obtaining a Staff Quota was equivalent to becoming an official, something that only happened if one’s ancestors had brought great fortune.
Now, not only could Song Tiantian get a Staff Quota, but she could also help Father Song.
The thought of Song Jiaojiao dragging her over to ask Song Tiantian to resign and come home made her feel immensely regretful. Why had she believed Song Jiaojiao and done such a foolish thing back then?
“Mm!”
Song Tiantian responded faintly, then led Father Song, Mother Song, and Leng Qing into the room for the Contracted Pet Beasts.
“I’ve already selected one for you. This Iron-eating Beast only eats various ores and minerals every day, and excretes refined ore. This way, raising it won’t be a loss at all, and you won’t end up forcing a Pet Beast into becoming a Fierce Beast due to inability to feed it.
Moreover, Dr. Bai’s experiments have found that besides eating ore, Iron-eating Beasts can also eat bamboo. However, their main food is ore, and bamboo is a Snack.
You can plant some bamboo yourself. Some bamboo shoots grow quickly, reaching one meter in height per day. This way, you can afford to feed it.
Also, Iron-eating Beasts generally spend more than ten hours a day eating. Don’t think they’re full after eating for a few hours and stop feeding them, mistreating them by not giving them food.
This Iron-eating Beast is being sold at a special price because I carefully selected it. It has been on the battlefield and had a previous Owner, possessing rich combat experience.
It is immensely strong and has very strong potential.
It’s just that its previous Owner died, which is considered unlucky. I deliberately exaggerated this matter to offer it at a special price. You must remember not to brag outside about buying a low-priced Iron-eating Beast.
The lifespan of an Iron-eating Beast is generally three hundred years. If you cultivate it well, it can even be inherited by the father’s fourth child.
Furthermore, if the father cultivates diligently and treats this Iron-eating Beast well, once its favorability increases, the Contract will take effect, and the father can share some of the Iron-eating Beast’s Lifespan, allowing him to live longer.”
Leng Qing remained silent throughout. She knew very well that a Pet Beast whose Owner suddenly died, even if it survived, would have its Talent reduced and become very poor.
She also knew about this Iron-eating Beast. It had been on the battlefield before, and among other Iron-eating Beasts, its Talent was considered good. It’s just a pity that its Owner died, and it became even worse than other Iron-eating Beasts. The entire beast also fell into Depression.
To be honest, this price is very fair. Song Tiantian did not engage in any underhanded dealings.
Because this Iron-eating Beast was almost like trash.
Leng Qing couldn’t understand why Song Tiantian would let her father Contract such a Pet Beast, if Song Tiantian truly had her father’s best interests at heart.
“Tiantian, don’t worry. I understand. Your mother and I won’t talk about it elsewhere.”
Father Song looked at the majestic and extraordinary Iron-eating Beast, liking it more and more. It had good Appearance and good Strength.
