You were given the ability to tame beasts, not to become a god-level breeder.

Yuan Rui followed Huang Shengli to a private room.

Huang Shengli closed the door before speaking with a serious expression: "Nothing I'm about to say is to be revealed to anyone without my permission, understand?"

Yuan Rui stood with his legs together, gave a military salute, and said solemnly, "Yuan Rui received this!"

"According to reliable sources, Jiang Fan is also researching the Little Spirit Horse."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Rui's eyes widened suddenly.

He could hear his own heart beating.

Yuan Rui snapped out of his daze, his face filled with shock and disbelief, and asked, "General, you mean...?"

Seeing Yuan Rui's surprised expression, Huang Shengli nodded in deep agreement.

Look, Jiang Fan has appeared as a competitor.

Even the usually mature and composed Yuan Rui panicked.

Yuan Rui is a senior Level 5 trainer in the military.

Ugh.

If only Jiang Fan were one of his trainers.

Huang Shengli began to fantasize.

If Jiang Fan is his person.

Not only do we not have to worry about marine mammal disasters every year.

Who knows, with Jiang Fan's research into powerful sea beasts and beast taming, we might be able to form a corresponding legion and directly launch a counterattack on the deep-sea lair of the sea beast disaster!

"You mean there's a mole within our training department?!"

"The Little Spirit Horse can only be produced in the Great Black Tower Secret Realm; there are no sighting records in the wilderness or other realms."

"Lord, our breeding department is innocent! The little spirit horse was definitely not leaked by our breeding department!"

"The spirit horses brought out from the secret realm by the breeding department all undergo rigorous inspection, and each one is documented as proof. Even spirit horses that die in experiments are monitored and inspected throughout the entire process from transportation to disposal!"

"I have no idea where Jiang Fan got the little spirit horse, General, you must be right!"

"I, Yuan Rui, am willing to accept any investigation! I only hope that the Commander will give me more time to complete my research on the Little Spirit Horse before conducting a formal investigation. In theory, the Little Spirit Horse's gigantic evolution can eliminate low-level sea monster disasters with near-efficiency and without causing harm. The sea monster disaster season is approaching, and we may not be able to catch up in the early stages, but we can use it in the mid and late stages to minimize casualties among our soldiers!"

Although Yuan Rui's voice was strong and clear, it still carried a hint of anxiety.

Unauthorized outward transportation of supplies, especially personal beasts.

Those involved could face a military court!

This is no joke!

Yuan Rui himself is innocent, and he also wants to believe that his colleagues in the training department are innocent.

But sometimes, you can know a person's face but not their heart.

He only hoped that the investigation wouldn't start so early, causing the research on the little spirit horse to stop and resulting in the same devastating losses for the warriors in the middle and later stages of the sea monster disaster.

"Forehead..."

Huang Shengli stared blankly at Yuan Rui, and said thoughtfully, "It seems like we're not on the same wavelength."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Rui realized what was happening.

Since it wasn't someone smuggling the Little Spirit Horse to Jiang Fan, it could only be that his own military region gave the Little Spirit Horse to Jiang Fan with their consent, or that Zhuang Zhenyu applied for a Little Spirit Horse research project and had Jiang Fan participate as a member.

"Commander, are you afraid that Jiang Fan will develop it before we do?"

This kind of thing is very common in the breeding industry. Two or more breeders or research teams choose to study the same kind of beast. The breeder or research team that succeeds first can make a fortune, while the energy, time and resources invested by other breeders or research teams can only go down the drain.

The winner takes all, and the loser loses everything!

"You should have seen Jiang Fan's information, right?"

"I've seen it. His research and development speed is too fast; it's unreasonable."

Yuan Rui nodded.

Just a few days ago, Jiang Fan wasn't considered particularly famous in the breeding industry.

However, after the release of Angel Bell Cat and Devil Bell Cat.

Jiang Fan's reputation soared. Yuan Rui dared not say how other level 5 or 6 trainers viewed him, but at least within the Western Military Region's training department, all trainers knew that a very talented young man had arrived in the training field.

Of course, there is still controversy.

Some trainers believe that Jiang Fan's ability to launch a powerful evolved beast form in less than a month must be due to the assistance of Zhuang Zhenyu and his fellow disciples.

Otherwise, according to the normal cultivation and research process...

Jiang Fan's research and development speed is too fast.

It's so fast it's unscientific, it breaks through our understanding.

Another point is that Jiang Fan is so high-profile and his research and development speed is so fast.

The eight foreign emperors could not possibly ignore this.

Back then, Ji Gui's talent for nurturing talent was even inferior to Jiang Fan's.

Ji Gui suffered a cross-domain attack ordered by the Eight Emperors, so why is Jiang Fan still safe and sound? It's as if the Eight Emperors of the other realm didn't even see the results Jiang Fan achieved.

The only explanation is that Jiang Fan is not alone; he has a team behind him, and the majority of the research is attributed to Zhuang Zhenyu.

"This time it's absolutely reasonable."

"This time, Zhuang Diantang will definitely not be able to help him. Jiang Fan is also conducting research right under our noses."

"Our people just sent word that Jiang Fan has chosen the Little Spirit Horse. I guarantee that if you can research the Little Spirit Horse's evolved form before him, you will save significant resources. Your team researching the Little Spirit Horse will have their salaries increased tenfold within a year, plus an extra bonus. Furthermore, the quota for future research projects will be increased, and you will not lack holidays. In addition, I will go to the higher-ups to apply for a collective third-class merit for you."

Saving significant resources naturally leads to doom gems.

When it comes to allocating resources to Jiang Fan or his own people, Huang Shengli naturally favors his brothers in the military.

Huang Shengli didn't care whether Jiang Fan's research speed was reasonable or whether he had someone behind him.

He only cared about whether he could produce useful results, reduce casualties among his soldiers, and demonstrate the strength of the Western Military Region to the public.

of course.

If Jiang Fan fails to develop the Little Spirit Horse's evolutionary form before the research department, but instead develops an evolutionary form capable of suppressing low-level sea beast disasters from the remaining 122 types of tamed beasts sent over, he and Zhen Guanjun will apply for the Calamity Gem and hand it over to Jiang Fan. The more specialized tamed beast types to deal with sea beast disasters, the better, just like how many machines are designed with redundancy.

"Commander, when did Jiang Fan come into contact with the Little Spirit Horse?"

Yuan Rui was excited. Strategically, he looked down on Jiang Fan, but tactically, he took Jiang Fan seriously. He cautiously asked for details.

"Just now, no more than an hour and a half ago."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Rui's face immediately went blank.

Then, smiling, he saluted again ∠(°ゝ°): "Rest assured, Commander, we guarantee to complete the mission!"

It took half an hour to get in touch with the experimental beast.

His research team has been studying this for six months!

It's just one step away from being a goal.

How could Jiang Fan possibly have developed the Little Spirit Horse's evolutionary form before them?

Absolutely impossible!

"My lord, if we need to hurry, the research will consume a lot of spirit horses and resources..."

"No problem, you can apply later."

As Yuan Rui stepped out of the room, his smile stretched almost to his ears.

It's definitely spicy!

Huge bonuses, doubled salaries, holidays, collective third-class merit awards—here we come!

then.

Yuan Rui returned to his department within the Education Department.

At this time, many people were checking the equipment and cleaning, preparing to go back to rest.

"Everyone, please listen to me for a moment."

"The military leader should lift the resource restrictions on our project so that we can quickly develop the giant evolution form of the Little Spirit Horse."

"They gave us a full seven days!"

The words fell.

Some people looked excited.

One reason why the research on the Little Spirit Horse has been progressing slowly is the limited resources.

The small spirit horses needed for the experiment were also included.

The breeding cycle of small Lingma is long, with two litters a year, and one to three pups per litter. Factors such as the death of pups or failure to meet the breeding standards must also be considered.

Now that the restrictions have been lifted, there is a high probability that the giant evolution form of the Little Spirit Horse can be researched within seven days.

"Huh? Seven days..."

"The military leader is using us like nuclear-powered mules."

Some people look worried and gloomy.

It's like coming home exhausted after a long day at get off work, ordering takeout, turning on the water heater, and then your boss calls to ask you to come back and work overtime without any overtime pay. Oh, and they don't even reimburse your commuting expenses.

"The military leader promised that as long as the research is completed within seven days."

"Everyone's salary will increase tenfold in the coming year, plus an extra bonus."

"The accumulated holidays can be canceled, and there is also a possibility of a collective third-class merit award."

Yuan Rui announced loudly.

His words further invigorated those who were already excited, and those who had been frowning became radiant and full of fighting spirit.

"Xiao Li, stop cleaning up."

"Rest? Rest my ass! Keep working!"

"Hey you, go to the resources department and apply for some energizing oral liquid!"

"Seven days is a bit tight, but as long as we don't die, we'll work ourselves to the bone!"

"..."

The people at the Ninth Research Institute of the Western Military Region Training Department instantly became incredibly energetic.

As Yuan Rui watched the bustling scene, he could almost see the birth of the giant evolution of the Little Spirit Horse a few days later.

"Your knife isn't sharp, and your horse is too thin. Jiang Fan, what do you have to fight against my Ninth Research Institute with!"

Meanwhile, at the breeding base in the suburbs of Shanghai.

Jiang Rong and Li Yuan stood beside Jiang Fan, their expressions somewhat subtle.

At this point, they learned that the Red Plains Chicken King was actually Jiang Fan's tamed beast.

This was even more shocking than their previous assumption that Jiang Fan had brought the ingredients.

A specially bred broiler chicken, its status equivalent to the white-feathered chicken before the Heaven's Scar, was chosen by Jiang Fan through a contract to be his tamed beast.

"We haven't named you yet, how about we call you Chicken Baby from now on?"

Naming a child is too troublesome, but as the future Tyrannosaurus Rex, Jiang Fan still thought it over carefully.

The Red Plain Chicken King is the king of chickens, so choosing the first and third characters would be rather impolite.

Therefore, it would be better to use a random character from the race name and add the character "宝" (bao) after it.

The same applies to other beasts that will be contracted in the future.

For example, you can use either Egg Treasure or Fox Treasure for Mischievous Fox.

The Red Plain Chicken King shook his head.

"So what do you want to be called, Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

The Red Plain Chicken King nodded.

"no."

Jiang Fan vetoed it.

Next time it will evolve into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, it'll feel weird to keep calling it a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"I've got it! How about I call you Emperor Rooster?"

"The Emperor of Emperors!"

Jiang Fan had a sudden inspiration, his eyes lit up, and he held up a finger, communicating through the silent channel of the contract.
