Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 276 A conscience within a conscience! Only then will you not be beaten to the point of questioning your existence!

Another head popped up next to the speaker: "Ah, that color scheme, that size, it looks like a Flame Dragon?"

Another head popped up beside the window: "Ordinary fire dragons aren't this big. If we're talking about fire dragons this big, besides the Fire Dragon King, there's only Miss Lan's fire dragon."

As soon as he said this...

Several people in the office were stunned.

Miss Lan?

Who else could it be, Miss Lan?

Just mentioning a surname might not be familiar to ordinary people who don't pay attention to extraordinary creatures and beast tamers.

But they are different!

Their Flying Bird New Media is a well-known media organization in New York City!

They have a large number of loyal fans both online and offline!

of course.

They also have very strong professional qualities.

They are always able to spread the news to the public as soon as possible, as long as it is related to extraordinary creatures or beast tamers.

Therefore, their position in New York City is quite secure.

At the same time, they also have a strong ambition—to grow bigger and stronger! To expand beyond New York City!

To become a more well-known, ethical new media platform.

pity.

This is not an easy task.

luck.

strength.

Indispensable.

That's just their luck... You can tell from the fact that they set up their office building in the suburbs that the returns aren't very good and they don't make much money.

This is the dilemma that a conscientious new media company will encounter.

The company always struggles to retain employees.

Compared to so-called dreams, the wages you actually receive are much more tangible.

However… “Ever since Professor Qiao Bai’s research institute was established in this suburb, it seems like the land prices in this area have skyrocketed!”

The young man who initially stood by the window, who was also the youngest employee in the entire Feiniao New Media team, said with a look of emotion and envy.

The older employee standing nearby didn't look so pleased upon hearing this.

"Yes, land prices have gone up, and so have housing prices. The boss said that the landlord is planning to raise our rent."

The young new employee: "?"

"Young man, this is the harsh reality. There are always more cases of people taking advantage of others' misfortunes and demanding higher prices." The veteran employee patted the newcomer on the shoulder.

The newcomer's expression immediately fell: "Huh?"

"Does that mean we have to move to another place?"

"But I came here to be closer to Professor Qiao Bai!"

"If I have to move... I might as well find a job that allows me to stay here!"

Long-time employee: "..."

The veteran employee squinted, and the gentle comfort he had been giving the young man suddenly became much stronger: "Young man..."

"We can still discuss it further, after all, the boss signed a ten-year contract with the landlord in one go."

"If the boss breaches the contract, he'll have to pay a hefty sum in compensation."

The new employee's eyes lit up again: "Wow! Boss is awesome!"

"However, only one and a half years remain of the ten-year contract."

New employee: "..."

Life's ups and downs are nothing more than this; does that sound a bit too exciting?

"Ahem." The senior who had been speaking up took a cup and went to the water dispenser to fill it with hot water. The cup had a faint aroma of goji berries.

"Anyway, don't think too much about it. Make the most of this year and a half, try to grab more headlines and trending topics. Maybe we can salvage some traffic, so we can make more money. Even if we move, things won't be so bad."

The new employee, with a deadpan expression, said: "...Seniors, should I just leave the group now?"

This feels like a dangerous and unscrupulous company that could go bankrupt at any moment!

Fortunately, the new employee eventually calmed down.

Yep.

The company pays salaries very punctually.

The five social insurances and one housing fund are quite good.

We work five days on, two days off, and eight-hour shifts, with no overtime.

And I must say, the senior colleagues in the company are all very friendly.

Aside from having a bit of a middle-aged person's adolescent angst, a passionate young person's attitude, or a penchant for private pursuits, there's no backstabbing or seniority-based workplace politics.

These can all be considered benefits.

Unless there's an urgent notice that needs to be revised, the boss will also pay them overtime wages and overtime allowances. It's really hard to find a more conscientious company than this in the short term.

Yep.

Everything is great.

The only downside is that the salary is too low.

If my hometown weren't in New York City, I wouldn't be able to save much money on rent each month.

Thinking about this, the new employee sighed.

Let's just make do for now.

He would only leave when the company was truly on the verge of collapse; otherwise, he felt he could reluctantly choose to perish with the company.

"If it really is that Miss Lan, could we perhaps skirt around the subject and write something eye-catching?"

"As for whether it's true or not... it's all just speculation." The new employee looked at the huge creature that resembled a fire dragon and stroked his chin as he spoke.

The veteran employee standing next to the new employee: "..."

"Young man, you have a flexible mind, an open mind, and you know how to find loopholes." The veteran employee patted him on the shoulder again and said with a look of admiration.

At first, the new employee thought it was a compliment and even showed an embarrassed smile.

As I listened, something seemed off.

hmmmm?

Is this really a compliment?

Something doesn't seem quite right here.

The new employee, finally realizing what was happening, was speechless.

The new employee had dead fish eyes.

"I'm doing this for the good of our company, aren't I?"

"Recently, some breeding base added new equipment, a beast tamer accidentally sprayed pesticide on a plant-type pet and almost died, and a local beast tamer achieved an excellent result of being in the top 100 in the South China University League..."

"These aren't trending topics enough! They're not eye-catching enough! We're not official media!"

The government also provides subsidies through funding!

where are they?

There's nothing there!

Generating electricity purely out of love!

The newcomer couldn't understand why they shouldn't jump on the bandwagon when it was so obviously trending!

"This isn't a hot topic, nor is it speculation; this is spreading rumors, understand?" The senior employee patted the junior employee's hand, put his arm around the junior employee's shoulder, and then hooked his arm around the junior employee's shoulder.

He pulled the whole person over.

It's like a half-embracing posture.

The veteran employee said earnestly, "We don't play those rumor-mongering games. We might get some buzz, but it's pointless!"

"We don't want this kind of traffic generated by just watching gossip!"

"This kind of traffic comes and goes quickly, and it will also ruin our own reputation."

The veteran employee sighed.

The new employee fell into deep thought.

Finally, he nodded reluctantly.

Ok.

What the senior said makes a lot of sense.

And... that's one of the reasons he likes this company.

If we could really keep doing this from beginning to end, it would seem pretty good.

"Well..." the new employee's mind started working again: "How about we go directly to Professor Qiao Bai and do a face-to-face interview?"

"Just ask me anything you want to know!"

"You can ask about Miss Lan as well!"

"Then we'll promote it, write it properly, and let netizens decide for themselves... That should be fine, right?"

Long-time employee: "..."

"Young man, you're quick-witted!" The veteran employee looked the newcomer he was holding up and down.

Judging from his eyes, he looks like a recent college graduate with clear eyes, but how come his brain is so incredibly sharp!

That's a brilliant idea!

"Come quick, come quick!"

"Everyone, come quick!"

"That kid's come up with a great idea!"

"If we can achieve that, even if we don't expect our next issue to see a surge in traffic, reaching millions or tens of millions, simply getting over 100,000 online views shouldn't be too difficult!"

That makes it a mini-hit!

Everyone's eyes lit up at once.

"Now, the only problem left for us is—how do we get Professor Qiao Bai to agree to our interview?"

Done.

The group looked at each other, bewildered.

"Everyone mobilize..."

"A visit at your door..."

"I sincerely request..."

"Perhaps Professor Qiao Bai will agree?"

Yep.

That's a good idea.

That's a good decision.

How do we take that first step? That's a really good question!

……

Qiao Bai has already found a solution to Yanlong's physical problems.

Internal medication plus external training.

A two-pronged approach.

External training is just normal training and development, but the focus is gradually shifted from physical training to skills training.

"Most importantly, you should try your best to feel the presence of every bit of energy in your body, and then mobilize all of that energy."

"This link is crucial."

Qiao Bai held up one finger and said, "Because Yanlong is used to being able to mobilize only 70% or 80% of his power normally, he can still only use 70% or 80% of his power during training unless he is deliberately concentrating."

That would mean wasting resources.

It has no effect.

Bluebell nodded emphatically: "I will also try my best to help Jaeger experience it!"

"Jaeger!" Bluebell said, turning to Flame Dragon. "Let's cheer each other on!"

"Ooh-woo—!"

Yanlong Yeager has a really good personality.

Bluebell nodded in agreement to whatever it said.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

They're all quite like beast tamers.

Although it was tiring, Jaeger was obedient.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Fine.

Today was another day where I felt like a third wheel.

Then Qiao Bai looked at Blue Whale, who had been standing to the side the whole time without saying much, and gave him a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Sorry, Mr. Blue Whale, I ignored you."

"That's not true." The blue whale shook its head, appearing unconcerned. "Although..."

Blue Whale looked at Blue Wind Chime, who was embracing Flame Dragon Yeager, and said softly, "It's a good thing that we discovered her problem in time."

"Wind Chime and Jaeger have a very good relationship. If Jaeger really has problems because of her nurturing, she will be heartbroken."

Qiao Bai smiled.

"Let's help her solve Jaeger's problem first. We can wait on the matter of enhancing the power of the Flame Emperor's Flame. There's no rush," Blue Whale said with a light laugh. "I just finished a big commission recently, so I can take a break for a while."

"Let's go see her too."

Blue Whale nodded as he spoke, looking remarkably like a responsible older brother.

Qiao Bai glanced at Blue Whale: "Shouldn't you have said that in front of your sister?"

"Uh..." the blue whale hesitated for a moment.

"Then forget it."

Blue Whale said this with great confidence.

Some things are better left unsaid behind someone's back.

It would be quite awkward for him to say it to his face!

Qiao Bai: "..."

Fine.

I don't understand your twisted sister complex.

That's weird.

"Now it's my turn to say—it's not a big deal."

Qiao Bai smiled and looked at the blue whale, saying, "Jaeger's situation is one thing, and helping the Flame Emperor become stronger is another. These two things will not interfere with each other."

"On the contrary, it's quite challenging and interesting for me."

Blue Whale glanced at Qiao Bai, then glanced at Qiao Bai again. Looking at Qiao Bai's smiling face, he really couldn't be sure whether Qiao Bai was serious or joking.

They look... kind of alike?

But it doesn't quite look like it?

"Moreover, it's not as difficult as you might think to make the Flame Emperor's flames stronger. Simply put, it's about finding a way to purify the Flame Emperor's current flames."

It's hard to say if it were someone else.

But if it were Qiao Bai... "The best way would be to have Yan Huang and Xiao Wu fight each other."

Blue Whale: "?"

Blue Whale typed out a question mark in alarm, looking at Qiao Bai with a shocked expression, as if asking—are you sure this isn't a joke?

Ninth Rank!

The Flame Emperor is a ninth-tier pet beast!

Even though that pet beast named Xiao Wu is already at the sixth rank, compared to the ninth rank... it's not just a matter of being three ranks behind.

That's a three-tiered ladder to heaven!

Qiao Bai's smile remained as calm as ever.

"Of course it's true, what's there to joke about?"

"Don't worry, I didn't intend for Xiao Wu to go up there and get beaten up until he doubted his life."

Before the blue whale could speak.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu expressed his dissatisfaction first.

hateful!

What does it mean to be knocked down and question your existence?

nonexistent!

Disgrace!

This is all slander!

Birds never question the meaning of life!

At most, the bird doubts its own existence!

Qiao Bai: "..."

This joke is not funny at all.

"Haha." Qiao Bai, unable to do anything about being stared at by Xiao Wu, still laughed twice without expression.

What can we do?

So I asked him what he could do.

Being a beast tamer is such a humble position.

Hey.

You can only pamper your own pet.

Thinking about it, Qiao Bai shook his head helplessly.

Okay, okay, that's settled then.

Little Wu was satisfied.

Little Wu attempted to land on top of Joe's head.

pity.

Little Wu is no longer the tiny creature it used to be; it can't even land a little bit. Its two little feet already fill the entire space above Qiao Bai's head.

Not to mention its heavy weight, which pressed Qiao Bai's head down heavily.

Qiao Bai: "..."

The veins on Qiao Bai's forehead throbbed.
