Chapter 184: Chapter 166: Chicken Hair
Li Qi and Mo Wenbin left, satisfied. They left behind two claim vouchers.
Jiaoyang Cultivation Base could use these two claim vouchers to withdraw one hundred fifty million Federation Coins.
While it didn’t seem like much—far below the market average—the real benefit was the long-term, steady business.
Furthermore, by establishing a connection with the Federation’s public security system, Jiaoyang Cultivation Base would no longer be without powerful backing.
From now on, anyone, regardless of their status, would have to think twice before making a move on Jiaoyang Cultivation Base.
This effectively raised another sturdy defensive shield around Jiaoyang Cultivation Base.
Furthermore, by becoming the Pet Beast supply base for the Jiangnan Province Public Security Bureau and leveraging the Federation’s entire public security system, Jiaoyang Cultivation Base’s reputation could also spread quickly.
Once it had a reputation, making money would become easy.
In reality, at this point, funding was no longer the biggest constraint for Jiaoyang Cultivation Base.
Whether Jiaoyang Cultivation Base could grow bigger and stronger ultimately depended on Li Qian.
As long as Li Qian continued to grow without a hitch, Jiaoyang Cultivation Base would sooner or later become renowned throughout the entire Federation, and even the entire Ancestral Star.
Li Qian had already anticipated some of this when he struck the deal with the Jiangnan Province Public security Bureau.
The only thing he hadn’t anticipated was how swift, fierce, and sudden the spread of his reputation would be.
Li Qian hadn’t expected the matter to blow up in this way and at such an incredible speed.
In truth, he didn’t care much about it. At the moment, he was still in the Cultivation Base, poring over the research materials Gao Yaxin had given him.
All of the materials were about the Red Feather Chicken, specifically its evolution.
Although Li Qian was silently grinding through the material, he had a bad feeling about it.
Since Gao Yaxin’s research direction had been proven wrong, the value of these materials was now highly questionable.
As it turned out, he was right.
Around eleven o’clock at night, he finally finished grinding through all the documents.
He had spent two full days and a night reading through so much material, yet the Inspiration Value he gained was very limited.
Only a measly three points!
That’s right, just a pitiful three points of Inspiration Value!
’It’s better than nothing, I suppose. With these three points of Inspiration Value, the task progress has reached 87%. I’m finally close to the ninety percent mark,’ Li Qian thought, listening to the prompt in his mind. He couldn’t help but give a wry smile.
87%!
’That’s not a low number at all.’
Li Qian was confident that it wouldn’t be long before he completed this Pet Beast research task.
Pleased with this thought, Li Qian got into bed and, before long, fell fast asleep.
「The next day.」
「Early in the morning.」
Li Qian woke up.
This time, he was woken up by the alarm he had set.
After checking the time, he didn’t hesitate. He simply threw on some clothes and headed once again to the grove where the Red Feather Chickens roosted.
He planned to once again observe the entire process of a Red Feather Chicken using the "Light Energy Storage" Skill up close.
This morning, perhaps because the weather wasn’t very good—it was an overcast day—there weren’t as many Red Feather Chickens in the grove as there had been yesterday.
Only a dozen or so were scattered on the trunks and branches.
As Li Qian approached the grove, he was surprised to see someone had already arrived before him.
Seeing this, Li Qian smiled and walked over. "Sister Gao, you’re here early!"
"The evolutionary path of the Red Feather Chicken is my research project. If you can get up early to observe them, then I certainly can’t afford to fall behind," Gao Yaxin replied with a smile, turning her head.
With that, she looked up again.
He could tell she was observing them meticulously and with great focus.
’It seems what I said yesterday morning had a pretty big impact on her,’ he deduced.
"That’s true," Li Qian said with a nod, and began to watch as well.
After watching for a while and seeing no movement from the Red Feather Chickens, Li Qian couldn’t help but ask, "On an overcast day like this, or even a rainy day, will they still use the ’Light Energy Storage’ Skill?"
Without turning her head, Gao Yaxin continued to gaze at her subjects. "They will."
After a pause, she continued, "I suspect it doesn’t have much to do with the weather. After all, the sun rises every day, regardless."
She pointed to the sky and added, "...It’s just hidden by the clouds."
Li Qian nodded in agreement. "That makes sense."
Seeing Li Qian standing beside her, observing just as intently, Gao Yaxin shared another pattern they had discovered. "However, our research shows that when they use the ’Light Energy Storage’ Skill in this kind of weather, the effect is somewhat weaker."
Li Qian furrowed his brow in thought.
’The pattern Gao Yaxin mentioned seems insignificant at first,’ he thought, ’but if I think it through, there’s a deeper meaning here.’
Rain or shine, the Red Feather Chickens would regularly use the "Light Energy Storage" Skill every morning.
This alone was enough to prove that the "Light Energy Storage" Skill held an unusual significance for the Red Feather Chickens.
After all, Extraordinary Creatures possess an instinct to continuously evolve into higher life forms.
A large faction of hands-on and observational Breeders treated this concept as gospel, a profound truth.
Thinking of this, Li Qian already had a general direction for his research.
He looked at Gao Yaxin, then glanced at the Red Feather Chickens in the grove. "By the way, Sister Yaxin, there’s something I need your help with."
"What is it?" Gao Yaxin asked.
Li Qian didn’t beat around the bush. "I need a research subject."
Gao Yaxin’s gaze also shifted to the Red Feather Chickens in the grove, and she understood immediately. "A Red Feather Chicken that can use the ’Light Energy Storage’ Skill?"
"Yes," Li Qian nodded.
He knew that to research the Red Feather Chicken in greater depth, pure speculation wasn’t going to cut it.
’I need a guinea pig... no, a Red Feather Chicken!’
After getting Li Qian’s confirmation, her gaze swept across the grove, searching.
After a moment, she pointed to a particularly impressive-looking Red Feather Chicken on a branch. "What do you think of that one?"
Li Qian followed her finger with his gaze.
When he saw the chicken in question, he nodded in satisfaction. "It looks full of spirit. What’s its name?"
Seeing Li Qian’s satisfaction, Gao Yaxin smiled. Her gaze also fell on the high-spirited Red Feather Chicken as she calmly uttered two words, "Chicken Hair!"
"Chicken Hair?!" Li Qian was stunned, almost thinking he had misheard.
’It seems Gao Yaxin is also terrible at naming things...’
