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

Following Fang Cunxing's instructions, Jiang Fan created a new research proposal.

Research on the Breeding, Development, and Combat Ability Evaluation of the Moon Fox

First, there are ten moon foxes used as the research sample, each costing 100,000, so all ten cost 1 million.

The next step is to evaluate the Moon Fox, which requires battling other ferocious beasts.

The variety and number of these ferocious beasts must also be sufficient.

At least three types, ten of each.

Even the most popular combat-type bronze-quality ferocious beasts, with a growth level of only mid-level Black Iron, are priced at around 100,000 each.

That's three million in funding.

Secondly, there is the breeding and development of moon foxes, which requires the use of many cutting-edge machines for comprehensive testing.

The initial startup cost for these machines is also quite high, estimated at around 500,000.

As a mentor who has only published one paper, Jiang Fan couldn't be too harsh.

All things considered, the final amount of funding he applied for was four and a half million!

How much of that 4.5 million will Jiang Fan keep depends entirely on his abilities and connections.

After all, the ten moon foxes were the result of the previous project, which meant they cost almost nothing.

Once the funding is secured, one million will be Jiang Fan's.

"Although the research papers will be published, the research results and remaining funding are essentially bought out."

Jiang Fan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

According to Fang Cunxing, he was the developer of Moon Fox.

You are almost certain to get this grant, but you need to act quickly because other people will also be applying.

It is worth mentioning that new research topics derived from old ones will have a protection period.

During the protection period, any derivative research projects applied for by others will not be approved and will instead be shelved.

Only if the old research group does not apply for a new derivative research project after the protection period expires will the applications from other research groups enter the review stage.

However, Jiang Fan was uncertain whether he would ultimately receive the 4.5 million yuan in funding.

But the application for the one million fee for Moonfox will definitely be approved.

"One million!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan even felt like dancing with joy.

I'm just used to being poor.

In both my past and present lives, I have never seen so much money.

Not to mention it's money that belongs to you!

Isn't this much faster than being a beast tamer, enduring hardships and risks in the wild and secret realms to earn money?

Just one minute after the grant application was submitted.

Jiang Fan received a reply.

The project has been successfully established, and the funding is currently under review, which will take approximately one to three days, including rest days.

"That's settled. Time to learn more about this New Sprout Cup."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Fan searched for the New Sprout Cup on the school forum.

There is a lot of information about the New Sprout Cup. After reading these posts, Jiang Fan has a general understanding of the New Sprout Cup.

The New Sprout Cup has strict restrictions on the number of participants.

It's not about ability, but about status.

To apply, you must be a current first-year undergraduate student in the Department of Education.

The properties of the New Sprout Cup are similar to those of the Beast Taming Baby Cup.

Ok.

The New Sprout Cup is our own baby cup from the Nurturing Department!

The Beast Taming Cup is a competition where students command their beasts in battles.

The New Sprout Cup in the Nurturing Department is a competition where students command their own papers to battle against beasts.

That's right.

Besides identity restrictions, there are other requirements for successfully registering for the New Sprout Cup.

In order to successfully register, one must also submit a paper on the new evolutionary form of the ferocious beast or an improved and optimized evolutionary plan for the ferocious beast.

In addition, there are a series of rules to ensure fairness and impartiality.

The reward is also very generous, with a net bonus of 500,000 yuan after tax.

"Five hundred thousand is not much."

"But the New Sprout Cup is jointly organized by the cultivation departments of ten universities, and it has attracted a lot of attention."

Jiang Fan felt somewhat elated.

Although the funding for the new research project has not yet been secured, he no longer cares about the 500,000 yuan.

After all, once the funding for the new research project is approved and disbursed, he will be a millionaire.

The prize money wasn't much, but popularity was what Jiang Fan cared about most.

Popularity can bring Beast Taming Points.

Beast Taming Points are extremely useful.

It can directly enhance the combat power of your beast tamer!

There's also the progress of advancing the evolutionary path!

In addition, you can also exchange talent skills from the talent skill shop!

"The number of Beast Taming Points is pitifully small."

Jiang Fan brought up the control panel.

Despite making time to immerse himself in the ocean of beast taming knowledge, he still didn't acquire enough beast taming points.

Currently, there are only a pitiful ten points.

While Moonfox's paper has been successfully published, it will take time for it to generate buzz and attract widespread attention.

Talent Skill Shop.

Jiang Fan's heart stirred, and the panel refreshed.

The panel page resembles a match-3 puzzle game, with neat and orderly arranged square icons.

When Jiang Fan's gaze falls on an icon, corresponding information will appear in his mind.

The first icon is of lightning striking down.

[Skill: Thunder]

[Description: A low-level lightning skill. It draws upon the user's spiritual energy, condensing it into a bolt of lightning that strikes the designated target.]

[Required Beast Taming Points for Exchange: 100]

...

[Talent: Lush Physique]

[Description: Bronze-level Wood-type talent; physique perfectly in harmony with nature; all Wood-type skills unleashed are amplified in power and effect.]

[Required Beast Taming Points for Exchange: 1000]

...

Skills are categorized into low-level, mid-level, high-level, king-level, peerless, and god-level.

From Iron and Bronze to God-tier talents, the talent skill shop has everything!

Jiang Fan exclaimed that he had activated many of the god-level talent skills!

[Skill: Life and Death in the Same Moment]

[Description: A god-level skill based on causality. It binds to a target, which can be a living being, an inanimate object, or a world. If the user dies, the bound target also dies and is destroyed.]

...

[Talent: Immortal Body]

[Description: A divine-level talent of the beast type; able to be reborn from a single hair or drop of blood, fully restored with full health, energy, stamina, and spirit. Each rebirth consumes the energy of the indestructible body; once the stored energy is depleted, rebirth is no longer possible.]

unbelievable!

Jiang Fan could only stare wide-eyed, inwardly exclaiming that it was defying the heavens.

We're meant to live and die together. If you dare kill me, we'll die together!

It's immortal and indestructible; it can be reborn from a single hair or a drop of blood. The key is that there's no penalty for rebirth; it's a full-health resurrection right away. It's incredibly cunning.

Such overpowered, god-level talent skills are readily available in the shop.

but.

Jiang Fan could only feast his eyes. The number of Beast Taming Points required to exchange for a god-level talent skill was a dazzling string of zeros, the longest string of zeros he had ever seen.

"To exchange for talent skills, you'll need Beast Taming Points."

"We must also form a contract with the beast tamer."

"The simplest way is to exchange for fire-type talent skills, but that can't be used on water-type beast tamers."

Jiang Fan quickly calmed down.

However, besides this restriction, there is also good news.

Jiang Fan can directly give the talent skills he redeemed from the shop to the ferocious beasts, and they will learn them without any obstacles!

Most importantly, Jiang Fan can reclaim these innate skills at any time without any cost.

Yes.

It can be taken back with just a thought!

"Beast Taming Points!"

'I need a huge amount of Beast Taming Points!'

Having witnessed the vastness and diversity of the Talent Skills Shop, Jiang Fan was itching to try it himself.
