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

Jiang Fan was very happy that Lingyin Cat was recognized and loved by the public.

However, some people targeted Suzune Cat in later competitions.

Not only should they ban Lingyin Cat themselves, but they should also get the event organizers to include Lingyin Cat in the official list of banned beasts.

Jiang Fan was a little unhappy.

But then I thought about it again.

The fact that so many people are turning off their Ringtone Cat demonstrates just how powerful it is.

The comment section was buzzing with excitement after watching combat videos recorded from other perspectives.

Many people tagged the accounts of the organizers of established small-scale events.

Some organizers even responded, saying they would consider banning the official Suzune Nekomi (铃音猫咪) account.

In the era of the wildly popular Beast Taming competition, the competition is booming while the mechanism is also being rapidly improved.

Twenty years ago.

First, a school in a village in a province in Northeast China held a competition. Considering the large gap in the economic situation among the students, they banned certain beasts from participating.

And the students who can have their Beast Taming disabled are also quite strong in other Beast Taming skills.

Instead of being angry, they found it very amusing.

The ban on beast taming has been remarkably effective and has been praised and sought after by many teachers, students, parents, and beast tamers who make a living from competition prize money.

As a result, the mode of disabling beast taming became popular throughout the Great Xia Kingdom.

Two disabling modes have also been introduced.

Official bans include bans that rotate daily, weekly, and monthly, as well as bans imposed directly by the event organizers.

Before the start of the match, both players must disable each other's summoned beasts.

Player bans typically occur in mid-to-high-level tournaments.

After all, there are very few beasts that can be used in low-level competitions, and the beasts used by players in low-level competitions are not excessively strong.

Beastmasters like Moon Fox and Bell Cat are still very rare. In lower-level competitions, a well-matched beastmaster lineup can dominate the field.

"Disable it if you want."

"Can you disable one, or two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine?"

Seeing this, Jiang Fan was not angry at all; instead, a strange smile appeared on his lips.

If you keep researching and developing very powerful Beast Tamers like the Bell Cat, as long as there are enough of them, you can ban them all, no matter how many you want.

Jiang Fan even considered one possibility for the future.

The beasts used by the participants in many competitions were all bred by themselves.

For the contestants to win, the difference between the beast-taming races is no longer the deciding factor.

Rather, it is about the intensity of training the beast tamers, as well as the beast tamer's ability to command and judge with a comprehensive view of the situation and grasp the key points.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan turned off his phone screen.

He rested his cheek on his left hand, pondering which type of beast taming research to choose next.

What is the evolved form of the Moon Fox?

This definitely needs to be studied, since one of my tamed beasts is a Moon Fox.

but.

The Great Moon Fox is at least a Silver-tier beast.

Despite completing the research on the Gold-tier Thunder Prison Wolf King, he didn't put in any effort whatsoever; it was all just stat allocation.

Jiang Fan was well aware of his own limitations; with his current knowledge, the best subjects for his research were the Iron and Bronze tiers.

Just as Jiang Fan was struggling with his decision, his phone screen lit up; it was a call from Du Yunfei.

"Manager Du, what is it?"

"Boss, it's like this..."

The receiver picked up Du Yunfei's chattering voice; it was a group of male and female students. Jiang Fan could vaguely make out the words "Ringing Cat" and "Moon Wheel Fox."

Du Yunfei explained the whole story.

It turned out to be the morning's Qicheng Cup, where Zhou Lingding won first place with her Moon Fox and Bell Cat.

Even though some rational people have analyzed that Zhou Lingding's ability to win first place was not only due to the Moon Fox and the Bell Cat, but also to the level of training she received.

However, many students, and even high school students in the surrounding area, want to contract a Moon Fox or a Bell Cat.

then.

These people found out the information and went directly to the school training institute that Jiang Fan had applied to use.

They want Jiang Fan to help them evolve Moon Fox and Bell Cat.

Du Yunfei wasn't the boss, so he didn't agree immediately and instead called Jiang Fan to inquire.

Moreover, two suggestions were given directly for Jiang Fan to choose from.

We'll accept these orders, and the cost for each evolution will be set at 10,000 per animal. We'll take as many orders as we can get.

Anyway, evolving Moon Fox and Bell Cat is basically not difficult.

Riding the wave of popularity from the Qicheng Cup, making two or three million yuan wouldn't be difficult.

However, Du Yunfei does not recommend this approach.

People who come here because of his reputation trust Jiang Fan and want him to nurture and evolve their beasts.

Once the news gets out, even though Jiang Fan put in the effort, some people will still think he was just exploiting others.

Du Yunfei's second suggestion.

They refused all offers and explicitly told them they could evolve on their own.

In this way, although this income was lost, it undoubtedly improved Jiang Fan's reputation.

"The main problem is that you, boss, don't have a training facility."

"If we had a breeding center, we could have secured all of these orders."

"Regardless of whether there is any difficulty in evolution, it is all clearly priced, and it is a matter of mutual consent."

"And you don't even have to do it yourself."

Du Yunfei sighed.

As a manager, it's always a pity to watch orders slip through your fingers.

But what can you do when your boss is still a freshman in college?

It seems unlikely that we'll see the boss's breeding facility anytime soon.

"Reject them all."

Jiang Fan thought for a moment, looked at the account balance of more than 20 million, and chose Du Yunfei's second suggestion.

He wasn't interested in money.

It would be troublesome if a reputation were affected by an order worth two or three million.

Reputation is an intangible asset, more important than real money.

As is well known, the Great Xia Kingdom has always valued having a legitimate reason for its military actions.

The word "name" here can also be roughly interpreted as "reputation".

"Then please come over in person, boss."

"it is good."

...

Ten minutes later.

Jiang Fan, who had rushed to the training center, saw off the last student who had come seeking his expertise.

With a dry mouth, he sat on the stool, took the bottled water that Du Yunfei handed him, and gulped it down in one go.

"Boss, what are your plans for the next phase of the research?"

"If you don't have any ideas, I can give you one."

Du Yunfei suddenly spoke up.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Jiang Fan became interested. What kind of ideas could a manager who wasn't a trainer provide for his training?

"System, or rather, lineup."

"Under normal circumstances, a beast tamer should have at least five beasts."

"Three of them can cope with three environments: sea, land, and air. The remaining two are generally defensive types that act as meat shields, offensive types that act as attackers, or auxiliary types that provide control, defense assistance, healing, etc., replacing the defensive and offensive types."

"The Moon Fox and Bell Cat you've developed so far are attack and support types, respectively. You're just three more beasts away from completing a team. You need one flying beast, one that can fight in river, lake, or sea environments, and the last one should ideally be a defensive beast, though an offensive beast would also be fine."

"After all, this is just the conventional and orthodox approach to Beast Taming team composition. Nowadays, many Beast Tamers and tournament players are not following the usual path, such as the whole team flying, the whole team support poison healing, the whole team tank defensive attrition warfare, and so on."
