Chapter 71 Aaron's Choice, Clay Doll

Chu Xiran's reminder allowed Li Qian to understand a lot of things in advance. These things were very important to him. This time, she really helped him, so Li Qian was quite grateful to her.

Before leaving, she added, "To put it bluntly, choosing Beastmaster University means choosing the dimensional rift that is suppressed and managed behind the university, so you need to be careful and cautious. In this regard, although I know something, after all, I don't know as much as the three admissions teachers. You can take this opportunity to raise this question. Of course, I don't know whether they will tell the truth. I heard that the matter of dimensional rifts seems to be kept secret from high school students... Anyway, you can try to ask..."

"I understand. Thank you, Teacher Chu Xiran!" Li Qian nodded and expressed his gratitude sincerely.

After giving the final reminder, Chu Xiran left the training base. She had said everything she needed to say and reminded everyone she needed to remind. There was no point in staying any longer.

Looking at the direction where Teacher Chu Xiran left, Li Qian fell into deep thought.

Why would the three admissions teachers tacitly choose to keep silent about such an important matter as the dimensional rift?

Is there some hidden secret, or am I not qualified to know it, or is it... kept secret from high school students?
Maybe it’s both. At worst, I can just ask next time I communicate.

There is still some time before you graduate from high school, so there is no need to rush.

The next day, as usual, old man An Tianyou brought his Sun-Eating Tiger to the breeding base.

The tiger seemed to have fallen in love with this training method of using intimidation skills to oppress the koi.

Every time after training, he would show an expression of wanting more.

Maybe bullying weak opponents is indeed a very pleasant thing for it.

And the strange thing is that Mr. An also enjoys it as much as the Sun-Eating Tiger and never gets tired of it.

Seeing this scene, Li Qian couldn't help but wonder if Mr. An was a combat beastmaster whose business talent was overshadowed.

Unlike usual, after the training this time, Mr. An did not leave immediately. He seemed to have something to discuss with Li Qian.

Li Qian didn't think much about it. He just got into the old man's car at the old man's signal and came to the northern suburbs of Lingshui City.

The car sped along the way and he was very patient, not asking any questions along the way.

It was not until the car stopped in front of a rather desolate, overgrown abandoned building that Li Qian cast an inquiring look at Mr. An.

Pointing to a large area of ​​ruined buildings within sight, Mr. An explained, "The original name of this place was 'New Star Pet Paradise'."

"During its peak period, it was one of the must-visit attractions in Lingshui City. Unfortunately, the owner got involved in gambling and squandered a lot of money, which led to a funding shortage and a crisis in the operation of the attraction."

"I had thought about buying it before, but the property rights behind the land are a bit complicated. Considering the possible risks, I gave up the idea."

"It may be that other buyers also had the same concerns, so this piece of land ended up being a worthless waste, and no one took it."

After listening to Mr. An's introduction, Li Qian asked with a smile: "So why are we here this time..."

"Look over there..." Mr. An did not immediately state the purpose of bringing Li Qian here, but pointed to a tall building in the distance that looked like a landslide.

Seeing Li Qian's thoughtful expression, Mr. An continued, "It turned out to be a water slide. It's in the northeast corner of the entire amusement park. The drop from the highest point to the lowest point is 80 meters."

When Mr. An said this, Li Qian already understood what he meant.

The next moment, just as he guessed, Grandpa An directly revealed the real purpose of bringing Li Qian here, "I plan to buy the water slide in the northeast corner and claim to continue operating it after repairs. In fact, I plan to renovate it. If I add about 20 meters, the drop will reach 100 meters. When the time comes, I can make it into an artificial waterfall, which will meet the evolutionary needs of the Green Scaled Dragon."

"Another point is very important. The property rights of the water slide are very clear. There will be no problem whether it is rented or purchased."

Li Qian nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. This was indeed a good idea.

Although the Baizhang Waterfall in the Yunwu Mountain Scenic Area is an ideal place for evolution, it does not belong to you after all. You have to look at other people's faces every time you evolve, which is not very convenient.

Besides, Li Qian always felt that there might be some secrets hidden in Yunwu Mountain, and too much exposure to it would not be a good thing.

It would be best to have an evolution site that is completely under your control.

Therefore, he fully agreed with Mr. An's decision.

"Grandpa An is thoughtful. If we can take over that water slide, it will indeed be a very suitable evolution site for us." Li Qian nodded.

Mr. An waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Given the relationship between us, helping you is helping the An family ourselves."

……

After finalizing the plan to renovate the water slide with Grandpa An, Li Qian returned to the training base.

Coming to the central pond, Li Qian frowned as he watched A'long swimming in the water and occasionally jumping out of the water. He then took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

Aaron's condition was a little beyond Li Qian's expectations. Through Qizi's translation, he roughly understood the reason why the other party fell into this state.

It turned out that after seeing Xiaoliu evolve, it also wanted to evolve into a Frostfire Demon Newt, which is why it became restless.

This put Li Qian in a dilemma. It was not difficult for him to evolve into a Frostfire Demon Salamander.

But Aaron's original intention was to evolve into a Green Scaled Dragon, and now his training has come to an end. If he rashly changes the route, all the previous training will be wasted.

Of course, these are not the main reasons. The main reason is...Aaron is not his pet.

He is Liu Changfeng's reserve pet, and whether the evolutionary route can be changed depends on him.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and directly dialed a number. After the call was connected, Li Qian did not waste time and directly told Liu Changfeng about A Long's wishes.

"Although this route can evolve into a Frostfire Demon Newt, the risk is also very high. There is a 50% chance of failure. If it fails, Aaron will most likely lose hope of evolving forever."

Li Qian did not hide anything and told Liu Changfeng the risks truthfully.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Changfeng was first in a state of long shock.

Not long after that, Li Qian researched out another evolutionary route for koi, and the evolved form was the Frostfire Demon Salamander, which had greater potential than the Green Scaled Dragon.

After being shocked and dazed for a moment, Liu Changfeng finally reacted and began to think in silence.

According to Li Qian, if he continued to train in the current way, in half a month at most, Aaron would be able to evolve into a Green Scaled Dragon.

But if you change the evolutionary route at this time, you will have to face a 50% chance of failure, although the potential will be higher after the evolution is successful.

After thinking for a while, he replied: "I can't make a decision now. I will come to Lingshui City again tomorrow. I will talk about it after I meet Aaron."

Li Qian nodded and responded, "That's good!"

do as promised.

the next day.

It's close to noon.

Liu Changfeng came to the Jiaoyang breeding base.

Zhou Chubin and the other two, who were unaware of the situation, thought that there was another competitor and were nervous for a while.

After learning about Liu Changfeng's identity, I felt a lot more at ease.

Inside the base, Li Qian received Liu Changfeng.

He asked, "What do you say about Aaron's evolution?"

"I gonna go see."

Liu Changfeng still did not give a reply. He quickly left and headed for the central pond.

Li Qian did not follow.

What he wants is a result.

As for the negotiation process, he didn't want to know and had no interest in it.

"Aaron wants to evolve into a Frostfire Demon Newt, and his will is quite firm." About ten minutes later, Liu Changfeng returned to Building No. 1 and gave his answer, "I respect his choice."

Li Qian nodded, "Okay, I can arrange the evolution tomorrow."

Li Qian did not expect Liu Changfeng to make such a choice.

In Li Qian's eyes, his image has always been synonymous with decisiveness and enterprising spirit. If there is an opportunity to make further progress, he will most likely not give up.

Liu Changfeng listened to Li Qian's words and nodded, "Then I won't leave today."

After saying that, he suddenly thought of something, and then added, "By the way, today, I'll take Aaron away, is that okay?"

Li Qian smiled and handed over Aaron's beast-controlling ball directly, "No problem, this is for you."

"No need." Liu Changfeng waved his hand and did not take the beast-controlling ball handed to him by Li Qian.

This puzzled him.

"I have signed a soul contract with Aaron." Liu Changfeng explained in a calm tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

After hearing this, Li Qian was stunned for a moment.

Then he cast an incredulous look at Liu Changfeng.

"You...you actually would...Alas!" Li Qian didn't know what to say, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that Liu Changfeng would actually contract Aaron at this time.

You know, when he learned that the success rate of evolution was only half, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​making a contract with Xiaoliu in advance.

If you sign a contract in advance, you can certainly enjoy the evolution feedback after the evolution is successful, but if it fails and the koi can no longer evolve, it is equivalent to directly wasting a contract position.

Of course, if you are willing to spend a huge amount of money to buy some soul-nourishing medicines, the backlash of canceling the contract can be minimized. In this case, the contract position can be reused.

But ordinary beastmasters simply cannot afford this kind of price.

Soul-nourishing medicines have always been priced sky-high and in short supply, so they are snapped up as soon as they appear.

Apart from those top-level second-generation beasts who can withstand the backlash of contact contracts without injury, basically, no one can reuse an abandoned contract position. This also means that basically no one dares to contract a koi before evolving.

After all, if the evolution fails, it means that in the next twenty years, the extremely precious contract position will be occupied by a useless koi, and it is basically impossible for a koi to evolve again.

However, Liu Changfeng did this and looked relaxed and without any pressure at all.

Li Qian didn't know whether he had confidence in himself, in A'long, or in him.

"Why do you want to contract Aaron at this time?" Although he already knew Liu Changfeng's thoughts, Li Qian couldn't help but shook his head slightly, "What if the evolution fails!"

"I have confidence in Aaron. He will definitely be able to evolve successfully."

Liu Changfeng said nonchalantly: "And my beast taming talent is soul bond."

"It can give Aaron strength at the critical moment. I want to complete this important step with it."

"Okay." Seeing Liu Changfeng said so, Li Qian had no choice but to nod helplessly.

Moreover, he also knew about the talent of soul bond, which could indeed help the pet to overcome difficulties at critical moments.

It is equivalent to that one person and one pet bear the pressure from the spiritual level together.

With Liu Changfeng's willpower, it is no exaggeration to say that he can help A-Long.

"Then you should prepare well today."

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and after Li Qian gave his final instructions, Liu Changfeng took A Long away from the training base.

That night.

Inside the breeding base.

Han Yuying and Li Chengyang held a "three-court trial" on Li Qian.

Mother Han Yuying spoke first, "Son, how have you considered the matter of Beastmaster University?"

Li Qian responded casually while eating, "I'm still considering it. Don't worry. I know my limits and will take it seriously."

Li Chengyang suddenly recalled the past, and then said with some emotion: "Both of us have limited talents and have not attended Beast Taming University. In this regard, we can't give you any advice, but we all believe that you have the ability to make the most suitable choice for yourself."

Li Qian was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still thanked them sincerely, "Thank you, Dad and Mom."

Father Li Chengyang chuckled, "Just don't blame us for not being able to help you."

Li Qian also laughed, "How could that be."

He opened his mouth and said firmly: "You will always be my strongest support."

"Moreover, I believe that your talents are definitely more than this. You were held back by your family conditions before. Now that your financial situation has improved, you will definitely achieve something. So not only me, but you too cannot give up."

"We are a family, and we have to progress together."

At this point, Li Qian took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, Dad, do you have any idea about your second pet?"

"Don't worry, our family is not short of money now. You can boldly ask for it, and I will definitely find a way to buy it for you."

After hearing this, Li Chengyang scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I do have a good goal, but the price is a bit expensive."

Li Qian asked nonchalantly, "What pet?"

Li Chengyang pursed his lips, his old face turned red, and he uttered four words, "Clay doll."

As a father, it does sound a bit embarrassing to have to contract a pet and need help from his own son.

Li Qian didn't think too much about it. He recalled what his teacher had told him in the pet knowledge class, and then nodded with satisfaction. "The clay doll with dual attributes of curse and earth is a very good choice. Its evolved form, the rock puppet, is very powerful in both long-range and close combat. In addition, it has many control skills. If used properly, it is enough to influence the direction of a battle."
